Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 118 The One-Eyed Shadow of Luck

After learning this, Miss Justice and Alger couldn't calm down for a long time.

They all could not have expected that the "sailor" path that controls the violent power of nature is actually an adjacent path to the "audience" path that silently influences other people's minds through observation and guidance!

"But it makes sense, the contrast between violence and tranquility..."

Alger convinced himself of this and then continued to ask:

"Mr. Fool, are these the only two adjacent pathways we have?"

"Do not."

Klein the Fool shook his head slightly and added:

"There are three other avenues."

"Sanjo???"

Audrey and Alger were both a little bit incredulous.

You should know that there are only twenty-two paths to God. If there are five adjacent paths, that would account for nearly a quarter of all the paths!

This sounds strange.

"Yes, they are the three paths of 'The Singer', 'The Reader', and 'The Secret Prayer'."

Mr. Fool's voice remained calm, but the news he dropped was like a bombshell.

"Singer... Reader... Secret Prayer... No wonder Mr. Fool's tone was a little different when he invited Sun just now."

Alger muttered to himself, his heart becoming increasingly restless.

Because, according to Mr. Fool, the Singers and Readers belong to the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom respectively!
It would be fine if it was just the "audience" path controlled by the "Psychological Alchemy Society", but what he really couldn't understand was that the divine paths controlled by the "Eternal Sun", "Lord of Storms" and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" were actually adjacent to the "Secret Prayer" path that symbolized corruption, filth and distortion!

What does this symbolize? Good gods and evil gods are neighbors, and I am also half a cultist?
"That's right. After all, I joined a secret organization that's not registered..."

Alger laughed at himself in his heart.

Unlike him, Audrey quickly regained her composure.

Because she saw a possibility, that is, there are currently two colleagues in the Tarot Club who are on adjacent paths to her, which means that they can share potion formulas in high sequences and jump to each other's sequences when necessary.

This undoubtedly solved many worries and gave her more choices.

The only problem is that whether it's singing praises to the sun or playing in the water, it doesn't seem to match her ladylike image...

"The formula for the 'Reader' isn't easy to come by in Loen... You can't ask Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune' for the high-sequence potion formula for the 'Secret Prayer' pathway, right?"

Audrey was lost in thought for a moment.

"Mr. Fool, can we trade high-sequence potion formulas and ingredients here in the future?"

Alger spoke again to confirm.

"of course can."

Klein the Fool nodded. Transactions like these had to go through him, so he also hoped to master more potion formulas.

Alger breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Fool, I have no further questions."

After confirming that Audrey was fine, Klein removed the silent barrier.

"Have you finished your discussion?"

Mr. World saw that everyone's demeanor had returned to normal, and immediately asked:
"I'd like to purchase some potion ingredients. Is that possible?"

"Yes, please say so. Free communication and trade are allowed at this time."

Miss Justice fully played her role as a senior and nodded.

"Ok."

The World nodded, and immediately began to speak of his demands:
"I need a true root of a Mist Treant, at least 60 milliliters of Mist Treant sap, and all the spinal fluid of a Black Panther with Demonic Stripes."

This is the main ingredient and one auxiliary ingredient for the "Magician" potion recipe.

Klein wasn't worried that this would lead Roger to guess his true identity. After all, there were so many "fortune tellers" and extraordinary beings in the world, and this wasn't an effective clue.

What's more, he didn't know that Roger had already mastered all the potion formulas of the "Fortune Teller" path.

Soon after, "The Sun" Derrick Berg said that he knew where the Mist Tree People were, but he would have to wait for a while until he successfully promoted himself and joined the patrol team before he could find them.

"Very good, what do you want in return?"

"A piece of equipment that can directly improve my combat capabilities."

Derrick said with great conviction.

"Perhaps I can help you find what you need. I wonder if Mr. Fool could serve as a witness?"

"World" asked.

"Sure." Klein replied.

Upon hearing this, Audrey and Alger couldn't help but remind Mr. Sun that everything The World needed was Sequence 7 Beyonder Materials. Audrey was worried that The Sun would suffer, while Alger instinctively rejected the new member of The World.

The dummy "World" naturally had no objection to this. After confirming the situation with "Sun", he looked at Roger, Audrey and Alger again, asking them if they could provide the cerebrospinal fluid of the Evil-Striped Black Panther.

Audrey immediately proposed that she needed the "Psychiatrist" potion formula, while "Hanged Man" Alger stated that he needed the "Wind-Blessed One" potion formula or a complete set of auxiliary materials. In return, they could help search for it.

Since Alger had already mastered the Beyonder characteristics extracted by Qilingos, he only needed to clarify or obtain the remaining auxiliary materials before he could prepare for the promotion.

As for Roger, he symbolically asked for 600 pounds in cash.

"The World" agreed to all of them.

In fact, Klein originally had some doubts about the Fourth Epoch nobles, but now that he had Roger, a walking encyclopedia of Fourth Epoch knowledge, by his side, he didn't have to spend extra time to inquire.

Seeing that the transaction contract between "The World" and others has been reached, the voice of "Wheel of Fortune" Roger sounded again.

"I need everyone to help me find an extraordinary material."

Extraordinary material, Roger is going to be promoted again?

Klein's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.

"I need the Eye of the Shadow that Steals Luck."

The Wheel of Fortune speaks out its needs.

"Shadow of Luck Stealer? What is that?"

Miss Justice was stunned for a moment; she had never heard of such a creature.

Alger felt the same way, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pondered the meaning of these four words in his mind.

They really don’t know… Roger sighed to himself.

In fact, he didn't hold out much hope at first, because Roger himself didn't know what it was.

But judging from the name, this seems to be an extraordinary existence related to the "Wheel of Fortune" path, and it also seems to have the ability to steal the fate of others.

This is also one of the auxiliary materials for the "Composer" potion recipe in the "Judgment Star" pathway, sequence 6.

Roger judged that he was not far from completely digesting the "Singer" potion, so he wanted to prepare in advance.

To truly find this thing, perhaps it would require in-depth contact with the "School of Life", but Roger obviously does not have such conditions now.

However, after hearing Mr. Fool's "simultaneous interpretation," Derrick Berg, the "Sun," suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, I might be able to help you find this."

"Really?"

Roger looked up in surprise and looked at Derrick in the gray fog.

"Yes, I've heard of the Luck-Stealing Shadow. A few years ago, the patrol team from the City of Silver seemed to have captured one.

"It can temporarily steal a person's good fortune, making the person unfortunate. But at the same time, it can also form a pact with a person, helping the recipient take away their bad luck and pass it on to someone else."

It is indeed somewhat similar to the ability of the "Singer"... Roger nodded repeatedly after listening.

"This creature should be at the Sequence 5 level. I can't capture it with my current abilities. I need to issue a corresponding bounty.

"However, this type of bounty doesn't have a fixed price. Generally, the person accepting the task must state their requirements... If you can afford the price, then I can try to inquire for you."

"The sun," Derrick said, his tone measured.

"Yes, no problem. Not only can I provide the reward for the bounty mission, but I can also fulfill one additional request of yours."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief. What he lacked now was not money, but the channels to obtain those rare and extraordinary materials.

Most of the potion auxiliary materials needed for the "Star of Judgment" path are related to the three areas of spirit, destiny and the starry sky. They involve a wide range of areas and are generally of high value.

Roger's needs could not be met through ordinary channels. Just like this time, if there was no Silver City, a special source independent of the main world, Roger really didn't know where to find the Shadow of Stealing Luck.

After the deal was concluded, Mr. Fool spoke again:
"Ms. Justice, the two new Tarot Club members you recommended last time are still undergoing assessment. As part of the assessment, they need to complete a task."

Audrey's heart immediately moved when she heard Mr. Fool's words.

She said respectfully: "No problem, please issue the task."

Klein the Fool used the materialization power of Sefirah Castle to quickly create a portrait on paper and handed it to Miss Justice.

Audrey took it and looked at it. It turned out to be a thin young man with white oak hair and fair skin. He was wearing a deerstalker hat, but his dark red pupils were filled with rebelliousness and unruliness.

"They need to help me find clues about this young man. My followers have confirmed that he is in Backlund."

In fact, this was a clue Klein found through dream divination using the unwritten part of the paper that Roger tore from the notebook used by Ince Zangwill.

These papers did not contain any text written by 0-08, but because Ins carried them with him for a long time, he established a close mystical connection with the latter.

Thus, the dream divination attempt was successful, and Klein was able to determine that Ince had contacted this young man many times, and that the latter was most likely hiding somewhere in Backlund.

He was therefore convinced that if he could find this young man, he would definitely find Ince Zangwill!
