Except for the “Skeleton Key” and the silver pocket watch set with diamonds that had already been taken by the thief, this place still maintained the appearance I saw in my dream divination… Klein swept his gaze across the room, taking in the black iron pot, the glass jars, and the bronze candelabra, which held many candles that had long been extinguished.
His Spirit Vision and intuition told him that these were very ordinary objects, completely devoid of spiritual luster.
Hmm, but compared to before, there was indeed an extra something... Klein stretched out his left palm, covered by a black glove, and touched the surface of the long table.
His fingers were immediately stained with a noticeable layer of dust.
Klein searched the place meticulously and conducted a preliminary divination. When he found no hidden rooms or secret compartments, he turned his gaze to the brown notebook.
Carefully opening it, the first page’s contents entered his field of vision:
“This is going to be the record of a cursed family’s resurrection!”
“I will record every critical point! Future descendants, please keep in mind every word I say from now on!”
…Unfortunately, you died from losing control right after consuming your Sequence 9 potion. The glory of the Abraham family still has to remain on your lips… Klein silently jeered, continuing to browse as he rapidly flipped the pages.
Once he confirmed its value, he would take the notebook and not linger at the scene any longer.
“Our Abraham family is one of the topmost great nobles of the Fourth Epoch, a main supporter of the Tudor Dynasty. In that era, whether it was the Augustus family of Loen, the
“Indeed, they were already not weak back then, but we were stronger!”
“Even the legendary
“Unfortunately, the family’s glory vanished with the War of the Four Emperors. The ancestor, Bethel, vanished without a trace in that war where deities personally participated, and the remaining high-sequence Beyonders all fell.”
“From then on, our Abraham family has been cursed by a terrible curse. Generation after generation of ancestors who tried to revive the family went mad or lost control without exception. Some of them fell before becoming high-sequence powerhouses, while others were still at Sequence 8 or Sequence 7.”
“And every time someone lost control, it brought a disaster that nearly annihilated the family. Those who were cursed forgot the surname engraved in their bloodline and harmed other family members without restraint. They had already turned into monsters!”
“For the family’s continuation, the Abrahams made a painful decision: they would no longer live together but migrate to various places around the Northern Continent in the form of nuclear families. This way, even if someone lost control and committed massacres, the bloodline would not be severed.”
“My father was afraid of the curse and chose to become an ordinary person. If not for the surname still shining brightly in my blood, he wouldn’t have even been willing to tell me these things.”
“I want to record them, to review them often, to remember the glory and disasters of the Abraham family.”
Every generation of Beyonders will eventually lose control without exception? The curse on the Abraham family is even more terrifying than that of the
But, based on Miss Magician’s description, she didn’t hear the illusory whispers during the full moon because she became an “Apprentice,” but because she used the bracelet on her wrist. Afterwards, no matter if she wore the bracelet or not, she couldn’t get rid of it…
What was the reason for the Beyonders of the Abraham family? Maybe the curse has nothing to do with Mr. Door?
Hmm, the notes mentioned that the ancestor of the Abraham family,
There is a certain possibility. The easiest target for him to ask for help would naturally be his descendants who share his bloodline and are on the same Beyonder pathway at lower sequences. Unfortunately, because all the strong ones fell, his cries instead brought a curse that lasted over a thousand years to the family, nearly causing the Abrahams to disappear completely…
Is this the reason why Mr. Door knows so much about the history of the Fourth Epoch and the detailed process of the “War of the Four Emperors”?
If my guess is true, then all I can do is sigh:
The Abrahams truly are an unfortunate family!
I don’t know if the things mentioned by the notebook’s owner have been affected by over a thousand years of time and the family’s scattered residence, leading to deviations… Deities actually participating in the “War of the Four Emperors”? Klein furrowed his brows slightly, flipping through the pages faster and faster:
…
“My father, who chose to become an ordinary person, ultimately couldn’t overcome his illness, which dealt a great blow to my mother. She soon followed him.”
“And this also meant I was free.”
“But what pained me was that my father, to prevent me from walking the cursed path, didn’t tell me many things about Beyonders. I have to explore and understand them myself.”
“Fortunately, he didn’t dare to defy the elder’s orders and still gave me the potion formulas for ‘Apprentice,’ ‘Trickmaster,’ and ‘Astrologer’ before his death.”
“I need to copy these three formulas again to avoid forgetting them:”
“Sequence 9, ‘Apprentice’…”
“Sequence 8, ‘Trickmaster’…”
“Sequence 7, ‘Astrologer’…”
Klein raised his eyebrows upon seeing this, feeling that tonight’s trip was already worth it and that he hadn’t wasted the purification bullet.
Of course, he would still have to go Above the
“Astrologer”… So the “Apprentice” pathway also has an occupation related to divination… It seems that one of my earlier guesses might be close to the truth. The “Seer” pathway and the “Apprentice” pathway might be interchangeable at high sequences… Klein nodded lightly and continued flipping the pages.
Although he had already confirmed the value of the notebook, he temporarily didn’t want to leave the scene.
