"The Hanged Man" Alger looked at "The Magician" Fors and asked back:

"Did you drink the second 'Apprentice' potion by force?"

Why did you guess it directly? It's like you saw it on the spot... Fors cleared her throat a bit awkwardly and said:

"Yes, let's just say it is...

"Do you have any way to resolve it? What do I need to exchange it for?"

"The Hanged Man" Alger secretly glanced at "The Fool" and saw that he had no expression, so he replied calmly and deeply:

"No need for payment, because it definitely won't satisfy your needs."

Before "The Magician" and "Justice" could ask, he casually explained: "High-sequence strong ones can decide whether to pass on extraordinary traits to their descendants, and how much to pass on. Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 will naturally inherit part, beyond their control. Although each time won't be too much to affect their own strength, if you have enough children, it can still cause you regress."

"Does such a child naturally have higher inspiration and certain incomplete extraordinary abilities?" "Justice" Audrey suddenly understood, realizing the source of certain special populations.

"The Hanged Man" nodded:

"Yes, they are almost half a Sequence 9, possessing fixed traits. If they want to become extraordinaries, they can only choose the corresponding pathway. Of course, such people are not absolutely from inheritance; they may also be favored by gods or eroded by evil spirits. There are many factors that can cause the same effect. Also, children of high-sequence strong ones might be born with Sequence 5, which is a rare method of advancing across levels without easily going out of control."

"I see..." Audrey sighed contentedly.

For her, learning more mysteries was a more enjoyable thing than getting beautiful dresses or jewelry.

"The Magician" Fors also realized something and asked:

"Then what about Sequence 7, Sequence 8, and Sequence 9 extraordinaries?"

"Theoretically, their extraordinary traits won't be inherited by descendants, but that's not absolute. If there is an excess of extraordinary traits, it can also be inherited. In other words, if you conceive and give birth to a child, you can effectively reduce the residual potion in your body. No, one might not succeed; three or four give a better chance."

Three, four? Fors was dumbstruck.

Klein had long known these common sense from Roselle's diary, and now couldn't help thinking of a joke:

"Miss Magician, later you can say to your child, 'You are given with the potion!'"

Although according to "The Hanged Man", the burden could be reduced at the moment of conception, but one child would take about ten months of trouble, and not only that; you can't just give birth and not take care of it... With the acting method, even if it becomes difficult later, it can absolutely be digested again in two months, maybe even less, after all, it's just the starting sequence... Fors smiled awkwardly:

"I understand, the best way is still to digest through acting."

"The Hanged Man" Alger gave an affirmative answer:

"That's how it is at Sequence 7 and below."

When it takes half a year or a year to digest, two or three years, five or six years, having children might be the simpler plan... he added in his mind.

The scene was silent for a few seconds. Both ladies were digesting the knowledge they had just gained.

This was the first time they had known that having children had such a purpose.

For "The Sun" Derrick, this was common sense. He adjusted his sitting posture and said:

"I've been assigned an exploration mission again."

"Explore where?" "The Hanged Man" Alger asked sideways.

"The half-destroyed temple of the Fallen Creator." Derrick replied without much seriousness.

It sounds like there is a certain safety guarantee... "Justice" Audrey didn't interrupt.

"The Hanged Man" thought for two seconds and said:

"The Shepherd elder is still in the dungeon?"

"Yes, this exploration is led by the Chief." "The Sun" didn't hide anything.

"This way, the danger level is much lower than last time, so it can be attempted." "The Hanged Man" Alger couldn't help glancing at "The Fool" again.

Reading no meaning from his blurred eyes, he continued to "The Sun" Derrick:

"This should be the last test before completely lifting the surveillance.

"The information you passed on earlier was that and the Fallen Creator are mortal enemies. They are willing to expose themselves to ruin each other's schemes. During this exploration of the Fallen Creator's temple, as long as you don't show any abnormality, the 'Six-member Council' can basically confirm that you are no longer affected by Amon."

"The Hanged Man" is really experienced, as if he was planning this action... "The Sun" Derrick kept it in mind and asked:

"Besides this, what else should I pay attention to?"

At the head of the bronze long table, "The Fool", who had been watching quietly, spoke:

"Flesh, whispers."

Klein only gave two words, leaving the rest for the members to understand.

This is the style of a great figure.

"The Hanged Man" thought seriously for a few seconds and said to "The Sun", who had thanked "The Fool":

"Specifically, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, don't touch what you shouldn't touch."

"Which things are considered should not be seen or heard?" "The Sun" Derrick asked in confusion.
