High probability of appearing… Klein, controlling "World," chuckled darkly:
"Yes, I really don't have the recipe for the 'Wind-blessed' potion yet, and there's no way to obtain it in the short term."
"But I have an incomplete recipe for a Sequence 4 potion."
"Even though it's incomplete, I think you should be very clear about its value. It's worth at least 10,000 gold pounds, and most of the time you couldn't buy it even with double the premium. This is a crucial step toward a qualitative change in humans."
"What do you think? Interested? The spinal fluid of an Evil-patterned Black Panther is worth 500 to 700 pounds, the marrow crystal of the Elven Spring is 300 to 400 pounds. I think you'll also need to prepare an additional 9,000 pounds in cash or equivalent items."
Klein had long guessed that Sequence 4 "Unshadowed" of the "Sun" pathway could be exchanged with the equivalent sequences of the "Sailor" and "Reader" pathways, and this guess had been partially confirmed by Mr. A's requests and Roselle's diary, even extending to the suspicion that the "Secret Supplicant" and "Spectator" pathways could also join the ranks.
So, he believed that the incomplete recipe of "Unshadowed" would be an irresistible temptation for the "Hanged Man" of the "Sailor" pathway.
It didn't matter if he couldn't produce something worth 9,000 pounds at once; he could pay in installments under the witness of Mr. "Fool," paying it off slowly… Klein silently added in his mind.
He currently only lacked the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther, so he didn't mind extending credit. After all, there was no need to worry about him running away.
Eh, but there were risks. If Mr. "Hanged Man" suddenly died, I'd be in big trouble… Faced with such a heavy transaction, Klein couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
An incomplete recipe for a Sequence 4 potion? An incomplete recipe on the path to demigod? You can't buy this even with money! — Audrey "Justice"'s eyes lit up, and before the "Hanged Man," she couldn't hide her curiosity and asked:
"Mr. World, may I ask a question? Which pathway's Sequence 4 recipe is it? If it's inconvenient to answer, pretend I didn't say anything."
Mr. "World" actually possesses a Sequence 4 potion recipe, even if incomplete, it's astonishing… No wonder Mr. "Fool" brought him into the Tarot Club! He's not an ordinary Beyonder… Uh, Xio and Fors's examination has already ended, and Mr. "Fool" hasn't mentioned letting them join. Hmm… He must have other considerations, maybe he'll observe for a while longer. I can't ask proactively; that would seem impolite… For a moment, Audrey thought a lot.
Miss "Justice"'s question suited Klein's needs, so he made "World" answer in a hoarse voice:
"I was already planning to say it."
"It's the recipe for Sequence 4 'Unshadowed' of the 'Sun' pathway."
"Sun" pathway? Derrick sharply looked at Mr. "World" sitting at the bottom of the long bronze table, his eyes suddenly filled with ardent desire.
However, he still remained silent, because he knew he was still far from the gate of demigod, and limited resources must first be used to strengthen himself.
Focusing only on the present is the style of the City of Silver, because for its residents, the future may disappear at any moment.
"Unshadowed…" — "Justice" Audrey elegantly nodded and said happily, "Thank you for your answer, Mr. World."
She felt she had learned very important information.
"Unshadowed…" — "Hanged Man" Alger whispered again and responded calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't need it."
Don't need it? Klein froze.
This was completely different from the reaction he had imagined and the preset script!
His shock indirectly caused "World" to show an incredulous stupor. After several seconds, he said:
"You can owe part of it first. With Mr. 'Fool' as witness, I believe you will definitely make up the rest."
"No, I really don't need it." — "Hanged Man" Alger shook his head.
Don't need it… really doesn't need it… He is very confident that he will gain the favor and attention of the Church of Storms in the future and be directly granted the corresponding potion? Or perhaps he actually has the Sequence 4 potion recipe for the "Sailor" pathway? The name is "Disaster Priest"? Klein quickly thought of two possibilities.
What to do now? Should I exchange the recipe for "Witch" or "Joy Demoness"? Klein silently mocked himself and deliberately made "World" silent for a few seconds before saying:
"Other potion recipes, or some secrets I know?"
"For instance… secrets of the top sequences."
"Hanged Man" Alger slightly changed his sitting posture and answered cautiously:
"I myself know some secrets of the top sequences. How can you ensure there is no overlap? How can you determine that the secrets you speak of are equal in value to the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther and the marrow crystal of the Elven Spring?"
"We can each give the secrets of the top sequences that we know to Mr. 'Fool,' and He will compare them for duplicates and confirm the value. Mr. 'Fool,' is that acceptable?" — Klein, controlling "World," asked himself.
Then, in a condescending tone, he said:
"It's acceptable."
Alger slowly nodded: "I have no questions. Let's begin."
I really want to know the secrets of the top sequences… But I don't have extra money to buy them recently… "Justice" Audrey looked enviously at "World" and "Hanged Man" as they each materialized a parchment.
Having never worried about money since childhood, she finally tasted the feeling of "poverty."
Soon, Klein received the written content from both members.
