Chapter 277: Chapter 267: The “Proficient One” of the Power of Consecution
Years ago, Karno had already ascended to the position of a “Proficient One.”
His talent was comparable to Chris Fischer’s; his advancement pace was in no way inferior to his own father’s, which recently gained him increasing favor within the entire Fischer family.
What people originally thought of Karno as lazy and wayward, now they saw him as a true genius, his reputation suddenly reversed when he quickly stepped onto the 2nd Rank.
As long as you are excellent enough, even if you pass gas it will be explained with purpose, people will say it’s because you absorbed more protein for a reason.
Not just within the Fischer family, within the entire Dawn Church, only Chris and his son Karno were in the fastest tier of advancement.
Moreover, due to the clarity of the advancement ceremonies, in theory, Karno’s strength was growing faster than his father Chris’s!
“Proficient One.”
Its image in the Spirit Realm is an elderly woman with closed eyes, surrounded by many floating runes.
An Extraordinary Exponent who arrives at the “Proficient One” shall receive 20 units of Spiritual Power, as well as a 5-point enhancement to their physical qualities.
“Proficient One” will obtain an Extraordinary trait called “Spell Proficiency.”
Upon becoming a “Proficient One,” he will randomly obtain three spells in the first moment, and what the effects of the spells will be depends entirely on luck.
It could be those spells that come with numerous usage conditions, awkward restrictions, and terrifying costs, which you’d never have the chance to use once obtained.
Of course, it’s also possible to get a spell with powerful effects.
Also, a “Proficient One” can use Spiritual Power instead of mental power to cast the spells they have acquired.
And every Monday morning, when the sun rises, the “Proficient One” can forget a known spell and randomly obtain a new one.
However, no matter what, the total number of spells the “Proficient One” can master at the 2nd Rank will not change.
As one climbs higher up the God Pantheon stairway, the total number of spells an Extraordinary Exponent from the Path of Revelation can remember will also increase.

That day, the Ferrero Circus arrived.
The famous circus, renowned throughout Cyart, came to Fein City in East Coast Province!
So many citizens, dragging their families along, headed to the area where the Ferrero Circus was located to watch the marvelous performances.
Inside the big tent, many spectators sat in their seats, full of anticipation as they watched the Beast Tamer performing thrilling feats with lions and tigers at the center of the stage.
The Ferrero Circus was extremely famous because the ringmaster was said to be a real Beginning Level Spellcaster.
The act of condescending to lead a circus when he should have been a knight made the ringmaster Ferrero scorned by high society, particularly the World Order Church despised such people.
But Ferrero himself didn’t care in the slightest; instead, he used his spells, which lacked combat ability, to create programs that took the circus to the summit of Cyart.
In a secluded corner of the circus, sat a man with silver short hair, dressed in white clothes.
He was one-armed, wearing silver monocles, smiling as he sat behind a plain table, holding tarot cards, calmly waiting for the destined visitors.
After some time, the first customer finally arrived.
It was an old man reeking of alcohol, his clothes filthy, who stared at Karno for a long while before suddenly asking:
“What are you doing here?”
Karno replied politely, “Divination. You can try it, I am an absolutely accurate diviner.”
However, the old man could not help but laugh derisively, saying loudly:
“Ha, I don’t believe in such fate, it’s nothing but a money scam!”
Karno shook his head, and continued:
“But as everyone knows, in this world indeed lie forces beyond mortal reasoning, mysterious and unfathomable powers, gods and fate are indeed real.”
Upon hearing this, the old man burst into laughter, openly refuting:
“Yes, Extraordinary powers do exist, but they are all in the hands of Extraordinary Exponents! If you truly were one of those powerful Extraordinary Exponents, truly had that kind of power, how could you possibly be in a circus divining for money?”
Karno’s eyes revealed an inscrutable smile, as he leaned back his head and said:
“Maybe I am an Extraordinary Exponent. How would you know if you don’t try? Don’t worry, I won’t charge you now, you can come back and reward me after my divination comes true.”
The old man scoffed, “Then when the time comes, can I not give you even a copper coin?”
“Of course, you can.”
Karno nodded.
Hearing that he could get a reading completely free, the drunk old man sat down suspiciously.
“Is your divination really accurate?”
Karno nodded repeatedly and with his hands wide open, he loudly said, “Absolutely accurate, if my divination is not accurate, I could even compensate you with a Gold Coin.”
The old man suddenly sobered up, his eyes widening, filled with joy he said, “Really! A Gold Coin?”
“Yes, I promise!” Karno nodded.
The old man became enthusiastic, continuing to say, “Alright, alright, I have nothing to lose anyway; start right away!”
Karno took out the tarot cards in his hand and feigned earnestness as he said, “Well, either you or I will draw three tarot cards and then place them face down on the table.”
“You draw them, I can’t be bothered to do it,” said the old man.
