February 3, 2019 · 6 min read · 1,290 words

With the power of the mysterious space above the Fog, Klein quickly restored his good mental state and continued reading the second chapter of *Records of the Spirit World*.

The owner of the notes, a Traveler from the Abraham family, claimed that when he wandered deep into the spirit world, he encountered an old man in a lemon-yellow robe.

The old man's body was translucent, very similar to the surrounding spirit world creatures, but his attitude was unexpectedly kind.

The Traveler from the Abraham family chatted with the old man for a while and accidentally learned that the other party was actually the "Yellow Light" Venetan, one of the seven pure lights that cover the highest points of the spirit world.

Venetan told the Traveler from the Abraham family that his attributes were rationality and adaptation, that he was a symbol of the astrology domain, and that his corresponding gemstone was emerald.

He mentioned with great concern a prophecy that came from himself: "A gaze falls from the stars, the earth will split apart, and everything in the world will cease to exist."

He believed that this would be the final apocalypse within two hundred years, and no living thing or matter would be spared.

The Traveler from the Abraham family didn't feel much about it and didn't ask further, but instead asked for advice on how to remove the blood curse of his own family.

The "Yellow Light" Venetan told him that in a sense, this is indeed a curse, but it has a fundamentally different nature from curses in occultism. The solution lies in the future, in the hands of an "Apprentice" who has the help of a hidden existence.

He also warned the Traveler from the Abraham family that the day the curse is lifted will be the beginning of the true calamity for the Abrahams.

As for what calamity it is, he said he himself didn’t know, thinking it involved great existences at the level of gods.

In the second chapter of *Records of the Spirit World*, the owner of the notes also mentioned another thing Venetan the "Yellow Light" said: the masters of the "Pure Light Brotherhood," the seven pure lights, often enter the real world, take human form in different ways, and teach corresponding knowledge. Since the Fifth Epoch, many teacher-level figures in various fields have been their incarnations. For example, the greatest astrologer in the last thousand years, who conclusively proved that the current world is a planet, D. Forsmann, is the human incarnation of the "Yellow Light" Venetan.

Based on this, the owner of the notes put forward a conjecture that , who could be considered a teacher in many fields, might be the incarnation of one of the pure lights.

No, he’s not… If you really want to think that, then he’s probably a green light… Klein raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

From this, he judged that the owner of the notes would not be too ancient an Extraordinary, and from the fact that he didn’t call Roselle Emperor, this spirit world journey should have taken place during the period when Roselle served as Archon, or when he had just proclaimed himself emperor and had not yet been widely recognized.

Of course, it is possible that the Extraordinary from the Abraham family refused to recognize any emperor other than Tudor.

A Traveler who can roam the spirit world — that’s not a low Sequence. If he were a High-Sequence powerhouse, Mr. «Door» would have been rescued long ago, and the so-called blood curse would have disappeared long ago. Therefore, the owner of the notes is a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, or a Sequence 6 with the help of a magical item… The Abraham family, although in decline, is not weak… Why is Venetan the «Yellow Light» ’s prophecy so similar to some things claimed by the Witch Cult and the ? The final apocalypse must come? From the time point I just calculated, is there only twenty or thirty years left until the apocalypse? Klein frowned as he thought.

——Roselle became Archon in 1173, now it is November 1349, a difference of 176 years, and Venetan the «Yellow Light» predicted within two hundred years. Considering that Klein only calculated an interval, it could be from 24 to 50 years until the apocalypse (Roselle became emperor in 1192 and was assassinated in 1198).

Although the first two chapters of *Records of the Spirit World* didn’t contain practical knowledge, they thoroughly broadened his horizons, letting him know many situations in the spirit world and the existence of the seven pure lights and the «Pure Light Brotherhood.»

«So those pure radiances that I saw during advancement, when transforming into a spirit state, when performing corresponding rituals, located high above and containing countless knowledge, are the ‘pure lights’ of the spirit world, and they are alive, with their own thoughts… How wonderful…»

«These two chapters of ‘Records of the Spirit World’ are not entirely devoid of practical knowledge. At least I learned the true name of the ‘Yellow Light’ is Venetan, and its corresponding gemstone is emerald. I also learned many details. Based on this, I can design some mystical rituals directed at it… But for now, it’s useless…»

Klein pondered for a moment, closed the transcribed notes, and returned to the real world.

Compared to summoning Venetan the «Yellow Light,» he had more important things.

Klein took out letter paper, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter to the inventor Repard, asking about the progress of the patent approval for the bicycle, why it hasn’t succeeded yet, and whether he needed to find a lawyer here to help. With the establishment of the «Magician’s Code,» the complete digestion of the potion will take no more than two months. He must quickly save enough corresponding extraordinary material costs for his advancement to Sequence 6, «Faceless.»

In this matter, «The Sun» might provide one item for free due to the «,» but the other one still has to be figured out by Klein himself.

As far as he knew, the corresponding extraordinary materials for Sequence 6 are generally over 1500 pounds and often not available even at that price.

Apart from the two main materials, the supplementary materials include the blood of the Thousand-Faced Hunter and the hair of the Deep Sea Naga, both extremely rare and rich in spirituality, and their prices are no better.

«Making money is really hard, but spending is easy… I wish I could sell the ‘Werewolf’ and ‘Interrogator’ extraordinary characteristics… Not a single soli or penny should be wasted…» Klein sealed the envelope and stuck a stamp on it.

He didn’t need to count; he knew how much money he had now: 624 pounds in banknotes, five 1-pound gold coins, plus seven solis in banknotes and some copper pennies.

«Oh yes, there are also the 600 gold pounds that Miss ‘Magician’ and Miss ‘Xio’ will pay for the ‘Sheriff’ extraordinary characteristic. I hope they can gather the money soon…» Klein silently wished those two ladies well.

…………

«You said there is a new circle of Extraordinaries you’ve joined that has two extraordinary materials for the ‘Sheriff’ potion, and the price is very reasonable, only 600 pounds in total?» Xio asked quickly, her eyes wide.

She had just returned from the East Borough, investigating who had been asking about Capin recently.

«Yes, it’s a very reputable seller. The only problem is that the evaluation is very strict, and I can’t take you into that circle in a short time,» Fors said, speaking entirely truthfully.

«Great!» Xio didn’t doubt her friend and excitedly took two steps.

Suddenly, her expression fell.

«But, I don’t have enough money…»
