Some pathways can be substituted after Sequence 5? This is different from what the Nighthawks say!
Isn't it that once you choose a pathway, you can never change? Isn't it said that if you go astray, you'll gain strange, bizarre abilities but also be half-mad, unable to advance further?
There are actually exceptions hidden within!
Klein looked at the diary, his pupils contracting.
He didn't doubt that Emperor Roselle would fabricate something like this, after all, the surprise between the lines was so real, but he didn't think that the information Roselle obtained was absolutely correct; the other party could have been deceived or misunderstood.
This remains to be verified... Write it down for now... Klein reminded himself inwardly and delved deeper into the issue:
If Roselle's description is correct, then the water in the sequence pathways is deep... containing many secrets...
The complete pathway possessed by the Nighthawks is "Sleepless," and the relatively complete one is "Gravekeeper," which can at least reach Sequence 4, and they can be substituted after Sequence 5... The potion formulas of other chains are very incomplete, even only the initial ones.
Similarly, the complete pathway of the
Interesting... I wonder which pathway my "Fortune Teller" sequence can be substituted with? The "Apprentice" and "Snatcher" that His Majesty mentioned at the same time?
Hmm, the "Fortune Teller" pathway likely provides one ability for each of the first five sequences and converges at Sequence 4. At this point, it should not be replaceable by other potions... Klein withdrew his thoughts and focused his attention back on the diary.
At this point, he noticed that the two pages of the diary seemed to be connected, but the actual content was not continuous, belonging to records of two different periods. This was a mistake made by later copyists.
"April 9th, the Church of the Eternal Sun, the Church of the Storm Lord, and the
"April 13th, I attended the gathering of that ancient organization. I never expected them to be members of this organization as well. It's truly frightening."
"So the Second Blasphemy Slate is in the hands of this organization. This is the first time I've seen this legendary divine object!"
"Indeed, it holds unimaginable secrets. Hehe, perhaps one day, I will create a Blasphemy Slate of my own. No, a set, each containing an ultimate secret!"
Damn it, Your Majesty, why didn't you say the name of that ancient organization! This is so frustrating! Maybe, perhaps, Roselle, for some reasons, didn't, or dared not, write the name of the organization, even though he was using Chinese... Klein felt both itchy and puzzled.
However, from this page of the diary, he finally confirmed that Emperor Roselle had seen the Second Blasphemy Slate and later imitated it to create a deck of cards, each card corresponding to a pathway of God's.
Hmm, perhaps corresponding to the ultimate secrets of the pathways... I wonder who has the twenty-two cards now... That ancient organization actually possesses the Second Blasphemy Slate... Klein's thoughts raced, thinking of many things.
But he quickly restrained his various ideas, shifted his gaze from the diary, looked at "The Hanged Man," "Justice," and "The Sun," and smiled:
"Actually, you don't have to wait for me."
"It is our honor." "The Hanged Man" Alger had long suppressed his dissatisfaction and replied humbly.
Audrey thought for a moment and smiled lightly:
"Mr. Fool, the method of publicly examining and selecting officials that you described earlier has been approved by the king and the prime minister. It will soon pass through the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and is expected to be implemented at the beginning of next year."
"So the king and the prime minister still have brains." Alger habitually mocked.
Hmm, by the beginning of next year, based on Benson's intelligence, diligence, and hard work, he should be able to reach the passing line in grammar and accounting... However, once the House of Lords and House of Commons pass it, the newspapers will surely make a big deal. I wonder how long Benson's first-mover advantage can last... The earlier he takes the exam, the better...
Alas, in such a short time, no matter how hard Benson tries, he can't surpass the elites from universities, but he doesn't need to. The positions they compete for won't be the same. Those guys probably only have their eyes on positions like Cabinet Secretary or Treasury Secretary... "The Fool" Klein, who only nodded slightly without speaking, was worried about his brother internally.
Seeing The Fool nodding in approval, Audrey sat up straighter and then smiled:
"Mr. Hanged Man, regarding what I previously asked you to confirm, I have an answer. The king has been persuaded by the prime minister and will not retaliate against the Feysac Empire on the east coast of Balam in the short term. I think you should pay the extra reward you promised earlier."
Alger seemed to think for a few seconds before saying:
"Miss Justice, thank you for your answer. This saves me from worrying about certain things. What extra reward do you wish to receive? As long as it is within a reasonable range, I will consider it."
Audrey smiled as if she had already prepared:
"Clues about the Psychological Alchemy Society, or clues about the main ingredients of the 'Reader' potion formula. Of course, this can wait until after 'The Sun' provides me with the formula."
