Chapter 34 - The pre-paid payment

 In the windowless underground room, the rugged and profound Alger. Wilson was sitting beside a long table adorned with various vessels and parchment scrolls. In front of him, a half-burned candle stood firm, its dim and pale flame casting flickering shadows and ghostly silhouettes on the surrounding items and the surface of the long table. Al杰's hair was as messy as seaweed, with a deep blue color close to black. He wore a long robe embroidered with lightning patterns, his hands clasped together, with thumbs touching each other, looking intently at the bottle of dark liquid on the left side of the candle. Whew! Whew! Whew! Crash! Crash! Crash! From the sealed bottle, sometimes there would be the sound of fierce wind howling, and sometimes the surging sounds of the sea. But the area where the dark liquid had not covered was filled with faint mist that moved slowly, as if it had grown eyes and a mouth. Al杰 turned his head to glance at the wall clock on the wall, and saw that the hour hand was pointing to three o'clock. He pinched his temple, and suddenly his eyes turned dark. The various vessels on the table also gained a subtle sheen. Just at that moment, he noticed that deep red light surged like a tide, emerging out of nowhere and immediately drowning him! ... In the luxurious mansion of the Hall family in Queens, Beckland. Audrey, having dismissed the dance teacher, locked the door of the room and sat upright at the dressing table. Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the flowers were blooming brightly. On the table, a blank notebook bound with pale brown fine parchment was lying neatly open. On its right, there was a pen with a golden tip and a body embedded with red gemstones. Audrey tested it to make sure that as soon as she left the "party", she could pick up the pen and record the formula in the shortest time. "It's so exciting..." She took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and pursed her lips as she looked into the mirror. However, she couldn't see herself reflected in the mirror. Only deep red and illusory light burst out from all around, from within her! ... Above the grey fog, in the grand temple that seemed like the dwelling of a giant king. On both sides of the bronze long table, deep red blossomed, gushing up like a fountain and then falling in all directions. Two blurry figures were "carved" out. Their positions were exactly the same as the last time. With smooth blonde hair and a tall figure, Audrey instinctively looked upwards.只见 in the hazy grey fog, the figure leaned back, one hand flat on the table edge, touching it, and the other hand loosely held, gently pinching the chin. "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~!" Audrey shouted in a cheerful tone. Then, she turned her head and looked across, speaking in the same tone: "Good afternoon, Mr. Hangman~!" This girl was truly carefree. Just like that, she confirmed that I was a good person and wasn't afraid at all? A noble girl well protected? Klein smiled, maintaining his enigmatic image and said: "Good afternoon, Miss 'Justice'." While speaking, he slightly lowered his head, raised his raised left hand, and lightly tapped his brow twice. What was seen in the eyes changed instantly. He saw the aura glow of "Justice" and "Hangman"! And the grey fog and deep red stars around didn't change. No strange things that seemed to not exist or seemingly having certain life-like bright light appeared. With a light turn of the gaze, Klein saw that the color of the aura of "Justice" completely matched what old Neil had described. It was red where it should be red, purple where it should be purple, blue where it should be blue, and white where it should be white. And the luster was bright, the thickness was appropriate, and it was clearly a vibrant young girl. "Her emotional color has red and yellow, happiness, enthusiasm, excitement..." Klein made a judgment and turned his attention to "Hangman". Like "Justice", the color of the aura of "Hangman" wasn't special. It was just the emotion was blue, with a few touches of orange. "Calm, thinking, cautious, and a little satisfied?" This was the first attempt, and Klein wasn't too confident to draw a conclusion. Just as he was about to shift his gaze, he suddenly discovered something strange. The innermost layer of "Hangman's" aura seemed to have completely unified colors and sensations! Klein concentrated his spirit and carefully looked again, vaguely seeing that deep blue like the sea color in the "ether body" of "Hangman" was deep inside, giving a feeling of strong wind and waves. "His 'star spirit body'? Or the 'star spirit body' surface? So, he is truly an extraordinary person, and seems even stronger than old Neil." Klein's thoughts were chaotic, filled with doubts. "It might not be so, perhaps it's just because of this special environment, because this is my territory, I can see these things, not because old Neil didn't have similar manifestations." He turned his head to look at "Justice" again, confirming that it was the special thing that extraordinary people would have. At this time, Arger also completed the greeting. Audrey took a deep breath and asked with hidden anticipation: "Mr. Hangman, have you received the blood of the ghost shark?" Arger looked at Klein and saw him tap his brow, as if thinking about something else. "Thank you very much, it perfectly met all my expectations. I never expected you to deliver it so quickly, the blood of the ghost shark is not an ordinary extraordinary thing." Arger replied calmly. Audrey smiled modestly and said: "I'm glad to see this result." Because she has always liked things related to mystery, she has also made some friends with the same hobby in the noble circle. They would exchange information, books and rare items with each other, but before this, no one had obtained supernatural abilities and become a true extraordinary person. Only a few princes had hinted that if she was willing to become a princess, she would receive the desired gift. However, this time the shark's blood was directly obtained from the family vault by her. Anyway, the list registered "a large bottle", without specifying the volume or whether it was full or not. She believed that taking only half of that small portion would not be noticed by anyone. Even if something went wrong and it was exposed, her parents probably wouldn't investigate. Alger looked at the wise man in the fog again, then turned around and smiled: "According to the agreement, I will tell you the recipe for 'Audience' potion." "I'll prepare for it. Alright, let's start," Audrey took a breath and concentrated all her attention. "The preparation of low-sequence potions is very simple. Just put the ingredients in the given order. But remember, the quantity of the materials should be less rather than more. Doing so will cause major problems. You must have heard about the out-of-control of extraordinary beings, right? Alger first explained the precautions. Audrey nodded slightly and said: "I fully understand." While speaking, she turned her head to look at "Mr. Wise Man" and wanted to know if he had any additions. Unfortunately, in her view, "Mr. Wise Man" was sitting quietly there, like a statue. Alger thought for a moment and said: "Less doesn't mean too far from the mark... If you don't have a helper, I suggest spending time familiarizing yourself with the chemical experiments first." "I have a family teacher in this area," Audrey replied without any burden. Alger then went on to explain the maximum degree of deviation and other matters, and then smoothly recited: "'Audience', sequence 9 potion, 80 milliliters of pure water, add 5 drops of anemone essence, add 13 grams of cow's tooth芍药 powder, add 7 sprigs of fairy flowers, add a pair of adult Manhal fish eyes, add 35 milliliters of goat horn blackfish blood." "The latter two are the main materials, all from extraordinary species of the ocean. You must be cautious." "Um." Audrey recalled and repeated, "80 milliliters of pure water, 5 drops of anemone essence, 13 grams of cow's tooth, cow's tooth..." "Saposhnikovia powder." Alger gave a reminder. With his help, Audrey gradually recited the formula in the correct order. But she was still not completely at ease and muttered to herself over and over again. "Do you understand meditation?" Alger saw "Justice" nodding and continued, "I don't know what kind of meditation you understand. I'll describe it first... After taking the potion, start meditating as soon as possible, control your spirituality and power... You must practice every day to truly master the power of the potion and uncover its symbolic meaning and more mysteries. Only in this way can you minimize the risk of losing control to the greatest extent, and the key point of the symbolic meaning of the potion lies in its 'name', such as 'Audience'!" Klein listened quietly to their conversation. Originally, he didn't plan to interrupt, just secretly memorizing and learning. But at this point, a sudden thought occurred to him. Audrey listened carefully to the explanation of "The Hangman", was about to ask a few details, but suddenly heard a light tapping on the table. She and Alger turned their heads simultaneously, looking at "Mr. Wise Man" sitting at the front.We saw this mysterious powerful figure gently tapping his fingers and speaking in a low voice: "It's not about mastering, but about assimilating." "It's not about excavation, but about acting."

"Potions' names are not just symbols, they are images, and they are also the 'key' to digestion." Audrey was stunned and confused, not quite understanding what the Mr. Wise Man wanted to express. She subconsciously glanced at "The Hangman's" reaction, but was astonished to find that his body trembled and froze there, like an ordinary person hearing a huge and sudden thunder. "Digestion, playing... Digestion, playing... Digestion, playing, key..." Alger repeated in a low voice, as if grasping something crucial or being under a strange spell. After a while, he raised his head and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Mr. Fool. Your hint is as precious to me as my life. It has helped me figure out many things. Of course, I believe I haven't fully understood or comprehended them yet." Klein maintained his mysterious and profound image and smiled, saying: "This is the advance payment for your services." In fact, he himself didn't quite understand the exact meaning of those few words, but he was certain that Rosel the Emperor was stronger than ordinary extraordinary beings and stronger than "The Hangman". Advance payment for services... Audrey saw the reaction of "The Hangman" and knew how precious the hint was. While reflecting on it, she asked: "Mr. Fool, what do you want us to do?" Alger on the opposite side nodded in agreement and said: "What do you have in mind to entrust me with?" Klein leaned back slightly, glanced at both sides, and in a low and soothing voice said: "Help me collect Rosel Gustav's secret diary, even if it's just one page."
