In fact, there are three pages, but the text is too complex and difficult to remember. My current limit is about two pages plus. Any more would be chaotic... The rest can only wait for next time... Audrey silently added a few words in her mind.
The new Rosser diary? Klein's spirit perked up and, knowing the answer, smiled and asked:
"Miss 'Justice', what do you need?"
Audrey's eyes lit up at once, but she replied in a deliberately restrained manner:
"You know, I'm about to finish digesting the 'Audience' potion. I hope to obtain the formula for the 'Reader' potion earlier so that I can prepare the materials in advance. Well, I know that these two pages of diary don't contain much content and may not match the value of the 'Reader' formula. I'll give you one more page, um, and I'll also pay you an extra sum of money..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but scold herself fiercely in her heart:
The Foolish Man is at least a person of great significance close to the gods. How could he care about vulgar money!
So, Audrey couldn't maintain the "Audience" state and hurriedly added:
"I didn't mean that! Foolish Man, what I mean is, you can specify the compensation you want. Yes, that's it!"
I like your previous suggestion... I'll answer like this: When you truly digest the 'Audience' potion, you will be able to obtain the subsequent formula. I have an associate, no, I need to use a more prestigious 'Vigore', who is busy with something and just needs a certain amount of money. This is his anonymous account, an anonymous account at the Beckland Bank... Well, this week I will disguise myself and go to the Beckland Bank's Tingen Branch to open an anonymous account... Klein didn't answer immediately. He seemed profound but was actually carefully considering his words.
The Beckland Bank is one of the seven banks in the Kingdom of Ruan, holding the right to clear accounts.
-- The Kingdom of Ruan handles inter-bank transfers within the same city by conducting centralized bill clearing. However, unlike their counterparts in the Inthis Republic, not all banks here can join this group. The largest seven banks firmly hold this right, so they are called clearing banks, leaving other banks to rely on them.
For inter-bank accounts, the connection can only be made in the same bank, through the clearing of different branches. With steam trains and wired telegraphs, the efficiency has improved significantly.
Just then, "Sun" Derrick Berg suddenly spoke:
"The formula for the 'Reader' potion? Is it the 'Psychologist' 'Reader'?"
Audrey looked at him in confusion: "You know?"
Meanwhile, "Justice" Miss used her instinct as an audience to detect the problem:
The other person was using the corresponding sequence 7, the ancient term for "Psychologist", instead of the more modern "Psychiatrist"!
It's strange, this guy... Audrey once again examined "Sun's" every move.
Derrick didn't feel that he had shown anything unusual at all. He answered seriously: "I can help you get this formula!"
After saying that, he felt guilty because he couldn't produce it temporarily, and forced himself to explain:
"This sequence originated from the dragon race, and our Silver City was once under the rule of the Giant Court. You know, giants and dragons are sworn enemies, so this sequence's 9, 8, and 7, Silver City has them all. I have a way to get it."
This kid... I warned him before not to talk nonsense and not to reveal his background. But... Klein almost wanted to cover his face with his hand.
Oh, the "Sun" teenager may seem very silent, very painful, very mature, but he is really just a teenager! However, it has made me figure out one thing... The "Audience" sequence originally originated from the dragon race. That's why the symbol behind the high-backed chair of "Justice" Miss is composed of "Dragon"... Has the history of Silver City been well preserved... Klein maintained his posture of leaning back in the chair, listening thoughtfully to "Sun" presenting his story.
In fact, he could have easily prevented "Sun" from revealing these matters - as long as he didn't assist "Simultaneous Interpreter", "Justice" and "The Hangman" would have heard nothing, because they couldn't understand it at all.
But Klein thought for a moment and decided that this could effectively strengthen his own powerful and mysterious image in the hearts of the three members, so he listened with a smile, without speaking or making any unnecessary attempts.
The Giant King's Court, the Dragon Clan, Silver City... Audrey was confused for a moment, then glanced at the "Hangman" on the opposite side, judging from the body language that the gentleman was equally shocked and puzzled.
She quickly turned her head to look at the front of the bronze long table, and saw "The Fool" sitting on the high-backed chair, surrounded by a thick layer of grayish-white mist, with his right elbow resting on the armrest, allowing his palm to rest casually against the slightly tilted head, not surprised, not curious, without thinking, without doubt, just looking at all this with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
He knew... He knew everything... Audrey and Alge made a definite judgment almost simultaneously in their hearts.
"Silver City, I've never heard of this place... Where is it?" Audrey asked tentatively, while "The Hangman" Alge listened attentively.
At this moment, "Derek Berg" Sun was also full of questions in his mind. He could tell that apart from "The Fool" who might be a divine being, "Justice" and "The Hangman" were clearly closer to extraordinary beings, definitely in the sequence of extraordinary beings.
In the place abandoned by the gods, except for the people of Silver City, Derek had never seen any other living beings.
So, he asked in response:
"You are not the people of Silver City. Which city-state are you from?"
Ah... Klein couldn't help sighing again.
Audrey's lips moved, but for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Well, his underlying meaning was, if you don't want to answer similar questions, don't casually inquire about where someone is from... "Miss Justice" gently nodded and gracefully closed her mouth.
Obviously, "The Hangman" Alge also misunderstood the purpose of "Sun", not knowing that the other party was genuinely and simply asking a question, so he also remained silent and said nothing.
The one who didn't get an answer seemed to also understand something, and stopped talking about this matter, instead saying:
"I will quickly obtain the formula for the 'Mind Reader' potion, and I want to use it to exchange the initial sequence of 'Sun's' path."
" 'Sun's' path? Sequence 9 'Praise'?" "The Hangman" Alge immediately asked in response.
"Sun" Derek thought for a moment and said:
"It should be this, but I lack understanding of it."
The one observing everything decided to step in, because he didn't want to risk being robbed of the business by others.
He smiled and said:
"I think Miss Justice probably doesn't have the formula for 'Praise'."
But Mr. "The Hangman" is likely to get it...
Seeing Audrey nod, he smiled again and said:
"I'll give 'Sun' a formula for 'Praise', 'Sun' will quickly give the formula for the 'Mind Reader' potion to 'Miss Justice', aiming to complete the transaction within two gatherings. 'Miss Justice' will give me the new Rosser diary she has obtained, so the deal is done."
"Well, from the principle of equivalent exchange, 'Sun' is at a disadvantage, but he's only making a promise. Once he really presents the formula for 'Mind Reader', 'Miss Justice' will consider how to compensate him, or I will compensate him, 'Miss Justice' will provide me with money as a favor. He needs to do some things recently, hehe, because 'Sun' may not be able to receive the cash or material compensation from 'Miss Justice'." Klein deliberately added that sentence at the end, in order to make "The Hangman" and "Justice" focus on the fact that "The Sun" might not receive compensation, in order to highlight his profound mystery and thus make everyone overlook the poor man who was short of money.
It might not receive compensation... Where is "The Sun"? On the South Continent? Algedion furrowed his brows slightly.
"The origin of 'The Sun' is also very mysterious... Indeed, Mr. Fool has subordinates in reality... Audrey finally saw the dawn of becoming sequence 8 'Mind Reader', and she had no other thoughts. She suppressed her excitement and smiled softly:
"I have no objection."
"I don't either." Derek saw that he could obtain the starting sequence of the "Sun" path at that moment, and without hesitation nodded, not caring about the subsequent compensation.
The "Hangman" Algedion, who was excluded from this three-party transaction, did not have the position to speak. Although he could indeed obtain the formula of "The Praiser", it would still have to wait for one or two weeks.
At this time, "Fool" Klein, in a good mood, pushed his hand forward and manifested the formula of "The Praiser":
"Main materials, one crystalline sunflower or the tail feather of an adult firestone bird or a fire-spreading bird's tail feather... A sea demon's stone or a singing sunflower... Auxiliary materials, one midsummer grass, five drops of July juice, one piece of elf dark leaf..."
He passed this formula to "The Sun", and saw that the other party first frowned, then relaxed.
Well, the names of the materials in the "God Abandoned Land" definitely still retain ancient characteristics... Fortunately, this formula was directly obtained from "Eternal Bright Sun", with annotations of ancient names and various substitutes... Klein suddenly understood and turned his gaze to "Justice" Miss.
Audrey glanced at the "Sun" who was silently reciting the formula, and hurriedly expressed her intention through the two pages of diary that she had forcibly memorized.
The diary immediately appeared on the yellowish-brown parchment and flashed into Klein's hands.
As before, he immediately began to read:
"November 3rd, Matilda is three months pregnant. Now I think all those country maids who come from the countryside seem to me to have clear faces and eyes, no, I can't lower my level and style, just now, Count Freus invited me to a private party, hehe."
"November 8th, Van Estin Archbishop has something to ask me for help, ah, what can I do for a Archbishop?"
"November 9th, there is such a secret hidden in this sequence path, the Estin Archbishop told me that after becoming an extraordinary person of sequence 5, the following part can be substituted with the sequences of other two paths! That is, starting from the sequence to the higher sequence! But this is limited to those two paths, once the potion is replaced to the wrong path, the most mild outcome is half-crazed, and there is no possibility of further promotion anymore."
"Such paths where the sequences can be substituted starting from sequence 4 are, the 'Insomniac' path and the 'Grave Collector' path, well, the 'Generalist' path of the church and the 'Spy' path can also be substituted with each other in the higher sequence."
