"The World" glanced around and said, "I hope to obtain information on all the impoverished nobles of the , including their current addresses. The more detailed, the better."

He didn't directly mention Baronet Pound because Detective Sherlock Moriarty was currently investigating an underground building case involving the Pound family.

Klein didn't want "Justice" to figure out "The World"'s identity from this.

He reminded himself again: Don't ignore any detail!

"Justice" Audrey was stunned for a moment, then examined the member at the end of the bronze table again and asked tentatively, "What do you want to do?"

"The World" laughed hoarsely: "You don't need to worry. I'm just looking for something and won't harm them. I can swear on that, with Mr. 'The Fool' as a witness."

Mr. "The World" really can control his body language… Is his occupation the bane of "Spectators" and "Mind Readers"? Audrey nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know some information about the impoverished nobles, but it's not detailed, specific, or comprehensive enough. I need some time to perfect it. About three or four days. Is that okay?"

As a noble, it was a required course to know people of the same social circle, and attending various balls, banquets, and salons, Audrey always heard interesting stories. However, these were all fragmented and hard to form a whole. After all, she wasn't an expert in this area and would need to flip through books, inquire, and look up information to fill in the details and not miss any impoverished noble.

"No problem," "The World" chuckled deeply. "What reward would you like? What I can offer immediately are: some hidden history of the Fourth Epoch, knowledge about certain Beyondor pathways, and a few formulas. But frankly, I don't think the information on the impoverished nobles is equivalent to Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 potion formulas. Heh, if you raise other requests, I'll try to fulfill them."

Not equivalent to Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 potion formulas, meaning I can't ask for something corresponding to "Psychiatrist"… "Justice" Audrey thought seriously.

During this process, she secretly glanced at Mr. "The Fool" at the head of the ancient table, hoping for some hint, but she found Mr. "The Fool" shrouded in gray mist, reacting nothing, like a deity overlooking the earth.

Well… Audrey finally decided and smiled lightly, "I want to hear knowledge about certain Beyondor pathways, but only those I don't already know."

"Respected Mr. 'The Fool', can you be the judge?"

"I can," Klein replied calmly.

"Then we'll communicate privately," Audrey looked at "The World".

At this point, Klein lightly tapped the table, cutting off "The Sun" and "The Hanged Man"'s sight and hearing.

He deliberately nodded to his little avatar, indicating they were now in a private communication state.

"The World" looked at Miss "Justice" and said in his usual hoarse voice, "What do you know about the Witch Sect?"

Audrey recalled the information she had bought last time from "The Hanged Man" Alger for 1000 pounds and answered shortly with some caution, "I know what they believe in, when they originated, what Beyondor pathway they control, and what tendencies their high-ranking members have."

"The World" laughed hoarsely, "I see. You don't know much."

"The Witch Sect controls the 'Assassin' pathway. Sequence 8 is 'Instigator'."

"I know that," Audrey said half-reminding, half-expecting.

"The World" raised his hand and stroked his chin: "Then do you know what the corresponding Sequence 7 is?"

Audrey shook her head slightly: "I'm happy to hear you tell me."

"Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' pathway is called 'Witch'," "The World" said succinctly.

"Witch?" Audrey was startled by the word, and natural associations formed in her mind. "If… if a male consumes this potion, how should he act?"

Wear pretty dresses, apply delicate makeup, and imitate ladies in every move? She muttered in her heart, both disgusted and strangely intrigued.

"No, Miss 'Justice', when a male consumes this potion, he can no longer be called a male. He becomes a genuine lady," Klein answered while controlling "The World", suppressing the urge to click his tongue.

"Goddess! The 'Witch' potion can change a person's gender?" Audrey blurted out.

"This… this is really unimaginable! Mr. 'The Fool' didn't deny it, so it must be true! This is a miracle! This is the mystical and extraordinary world, the world full of incredible things! This is the world I yearn for! Why… why am I a little excited?" After calming down a bit, Audrey quickly and guiltily glanced at Mr. "The Fool", silently repenting for having chanted the name of the Goddess of Night before Him.

"The World" said hoarsely, "Yes, but it can only turn males into females. Females will correspondingly enhance their charm, and whether it's appearance or skin condition, they will significantly improve based on the original. That's why all the high-ranking members of the Witch Sect are women."

"What are its drawbacks?" Audrey suddenly felt intrigued.

"The World" answered at a moderate pace, "The requirement of acting is to become an evil being that brings calamities, diseases, and suffering."

Audrey exhaled softly, feeling a bit disappointed.

Her thoughts turned quickly, and soon she had a new doubt: "If, I mean if, an animal consumes the 'Witch' potion and doesn't die or lose control, does its enhanced charm mean becoming human, or increasing its attractiveness to its own species? For example, a female cat that drives all male cats and all cat lovers crazy?"
