266 The Worlds Commission (1/2)
Sequence 0?
There's still a Sequence 0 above Sequence 1?
Sequence 0 is equivalent to a True God?
There can only be one Sequence 0 per pathway? Is this the true meaning of the paths of the divine?
As long as one consumes the corresponding potion, does a ritual, and grasps the acting method to digest the Beyonder characteristic, an ordinary person can become a god one step at a time?
This is truly blasphemous…
Could the main ingredients of the final potion be the godhood, divine blood, and body of the Eternal Blazing Sun?
…
The information on the diary's last page was filled with so much information that Klein almost couldn't think. He almost made additional body movements.
The twenty-two paths of the divine correspond to the twenty-two Sequence 0s… Sequence 0, Sun does sound very powerful… Perhaps, there's a Sequence 0, Death? I wonder what the names corresponding to the Goddess and the Lord of the Storms are… According to Emperor Roselle's description, some of these cards are identical to the Major Arcana tarot cards, but some of them are different. The Cards of Blasphemy he created were standardized with the names of the potions… These can no longer be called potions…
Could the reason that the Emperor regretted not choosing the Seer, Apprentice, Marauder pathways be because their corresponding Sequence 0s have yet to appear?
Then what was the reason for the sudden personification of the Hidden Sage who was symbolically a deity?
What was Roselle plotting in the end? It feels like he became the enemy of everyone in the world, and that only seems possible if it was set into motion by that mysterious and ancient organization…
The Primordial Demoness is the name of Sequence 0 for the Demoness pathway?
Klein gradually found his train of thought, and he restrained the turmoil that was going through his mind.
He knew that he couldn't lose himself in this matter. He had to recover as quickly as possible; otherwise, Justice and The Hanged Man would discover something amiss and find it odd.
Mr. Fool has been reading that page too long!
I really want to obtain one of the Cards of Blasphemy that Emperor Roselle created. I want to know what else there is—other than the godhood-providing potion formulas and the corresponding rituals… Klein suppressed his shock and puzzlement and made Roselle's diary disappear from his hands.
He rapped the corner of the bronze table and looked to the side.
”Miss Justice, well done. You finished Bakerland in less than a week.
”According to the agreement, what kind of payment do you want?”
Bakerland is dead? That fast? Alger had left the islands in the past few days and hadn't received the appropriate information. He was astonished for a moment which made Audrey, who was secretly observing him, feel delighted.
Even if Alger was in the in the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the City of Generosity, Bayam, he might not have been informed in a timely fashion. After all, cable telegraph could only transmit limited information. Unless it was particularly urgent or important, there was always a delay of a few days. Sometimes, it would even take the colonists of the Rorsted Archipelago a month or two to get an update on the ”latest” situation in the Northern Continent.
Restraining his thoughts, The Hanged Man looked at Mr. Fool in the thick fog and respectfully said with a hint of humility, ”I'm very sorry. I just managed to contact someone and couldn't help.”
”This is a commission, not a help request. Don't worry about it.” Klein chuckled. He turned his gaze back to Miss Justice, waiting for her to say what she wanted in return.
May the Goddess bless me. Please don't let Miss Justice's request be too difficult. It's best if I can repay her with knowledge… I've learned quite a lot of amazing things from Roselle's diary… Klein silently prayed to the Goddess.
Of course, he was very clear that with the gray fog separating them, the Evernight Goddess definitely wouldn't be able to hear his prayers.
Audrey's eyes darted around as she thought for a few seconds.
Be honest and not greedy, Audrey, and stick to your principles! She gave a faint smile and said, ”No, I'm actually the one still owing you. No—I owe your adorer the bounty.
”Rear Admiral Qilangos's bounty was worth a total of 30,000 pounds. I should give your adorer 15,000 pounds. Killing Bakerland cost 10,000 pounds, so I still need to pay an additional 5000 pounds. However, due to the matter with Bakerland, my finances are recently quite tight. I can only pay this bounty in a few months. Mr. Fool, is that alright?”
After she finished speaking, Audrey quietly exhaled. She felt that the little stone pressing against her heart was finally gone.
Although discussing money and calculating the payment in front of Mr. Fool feels somewhat inappropriate, I can't hide the rewards I received from his adorer… Audrey sighed silently.
As for the huge plantation worth more than eight thousand pounds, it was a private form of gratitude from Duke Negan and not a bounty.
5000 pounds? I can get another 5000 pounds? Qilangos's total bounty actually reached 30,000 pounds! Klein was startled.
Immediately, he fell into an intense mental struggle.
I'm supposed to pay this bounty to Mr. Azik, but I won't be able to get in touch with him for a long time… Putting the money aside would be a waste… I might as well use this money to enhance myself. When the time comes, I'll repay him by providing help… Klein made up his mind three seconds later as he lightly nodded at Miss Justice.
”Sure.”
