Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 56: The Secret of Beyonder Characteristics
Klein calmed himself down and looked down with a gossipy and curious look.

"But I'm not the same person I was before. When I gave birth to Bernadette, I was still a low-sequence Beyonder, so she was still free to choose her path...

"And now, according to Mr. Zaratul, my child will most likely inherit the low-sequence 'Universal' Beyonder trait..."

Klein was slightly startled.

Because this reminded him of the natural "monster" Admisol whom he and Old Neil had met when they were visiting the trading market of the "Dragon Bar".

"From what I see in Emperor Roselle's words, could it be that he's saying that after a Beyonder's sequence reaches a certain level, they will also pass on their Beyonder characteristics to their offspring?
"I wonder what sequence Emperor Roselle is at right now? Could he be the demigod Meters mentioned?"

He knew that Emperor Roselle was a Beyonder of the "Universal" Path and had served in the Church of the God of Craftsmen in his early years.

Klein speculated for a moment and continued looking down:
"But this thing still needs to be done. If Bernadette doesn't have any brothers or sisters, she'll inevitably feel lonely... The path of a Beyonder is so difficult. If there are brothers and sisters to help each other, it should be much easier... This is all for the children!

"...After all, some great gods have quite a few powerful descendants...

"Although the options are a bit limited, if this child doesn't like the 'Generalist' path, he can still jump to the adjacent 'Secret Peeper' path... Although that path is a bit dangerous, I will find a way to protect him."

Seeing this, Klein could no longer suppress the trembling of his pupils.

Just these few short paragraphs contain an astonishing amount of information.

"It's mentioned here that some gods also have their own offspring... According to the logical connection of the context, these gods' offspring are also born with Beyonder characteristics?
"What kind of person would a god's offspring be? A natural-born demigod?
"Also, it mentions that pathways can be jumped? From what Emperor Roselle said, it seems that one can only jump to 'adjacent pathways'. What does that mean?"

Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, Emperor Roselle mentioned before that he regretted not choosing 'Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice', and 'Thief'. I've also wondered what similarities they share... Could it be that they are what are called adjacent paths?"

His heart was in turmoil and his thoughts were wandering aimlessly, but his body did not show any abnormalities.

"This time, Mr. Fool seems to have spent much longer reading Emperor Roselle's diary than before..."

However, Audrey, who possessed the trait of "audience", and Alger, the experienced "Hanged Man", both caught the abnormality of the great being at the head of the bronze table.

Previously, when Mr. Fool read the diary fragments that the two of them had brought with them, the time he spent on each page was much less than this time.

"Could it be that there is some extraordinary information in this diary?"

Alger suddenly had an irresistible urge to exchange the knowledge in this page of the diary with Mr. Fool.

But soon he was startled again and shook his head, trying to dispel the thought.

"Something that can make a god fall into deep thought must be beyond my control... My curiosity is still too strong."

Roger, who submitted this page of "Roselle's Diary", crossed his hands, supported his chin, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and looked calm.

Just as he had planned, this page of "Emperor Roselle's Diary" was not the original, but a version he had created out of thin air based on his understanding of the mysterious world.

After all, above the "gray fog", the diaries had to pass through the hands of the participants and be written down by them, so it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity unless through mystical means.

But as long as the content of the diary fits the character and level of Emperor Roselle and can shock Klein sufficiently, the question of its authenticity is secondary. Roger wrote this diary mainly to bring two pieces of information to Klein's attention.

The first piece of information is that gods may pass on Beyonder traits to their offspring by giving birth to offspring. This inheritance is related to the parents' own status. The more powerful the individual, the more powerful the offspring will be.

The second piece of information is related to the jump path. Roger made some indirect explanations of this knowledge through the adjacent relationship between "Secret Peepers" and "Generalists".

On the one hand, this operation provides Mr. Fool with more material to maintain his status, and on the other hand, it also lays the foundation for his prior knowledge of the Son of God incident and Ince Zangwill's pursuit of Saint Selina's ashes and the jump path.

Later, he could find an opportunity to give Klein some additional explanations indirectly to help him deepen his understanding.

With Klein's intelligence and imagination, he would definitely apply this information to reality and influence the Nighthawks' decisions when events developed to a certain point.

This was Roger's deliberate act of preventing problems from happening and putting pressure on Ince Zangwill. Now that he was shielded by the "gray fog", he didn't have to worry about the 0-08 "Al-Suhod's Pen" being leaked.

After all, Ins is no longer just a threat to the Nighthawks, he has actually taken actions that want to take Roger's life.

So no matter what, this woodlouse-like bastard who thinks he is hiding behind the scenes must be pulled out and severely whipped.

Klein the Fool put down the paper in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Next came the free discussion and trading time, and Roger spoke first:

"Mr. The Hanged Man, do you remember the favor you owed me last time?"

He was referring to the reward Alger received from listening to demigod-level knowledge during the previous "Tarot Meeting".

"Of course I remember. What can I do for you?"

Alger nodded gently, but a lot of thoughts were running through his mind in an instant.

According to the Wheel of Fortune, Miss Justice can repay this favor by monitoring those in power in Backlund and providing intelligence every week.

But Alger didn't have similar resources, so he couldn't help but overthink the Wheel of Fortune's offer of a "favor."

"I need you to help me keep an eye out for two extraordinary materials, one is the 'Sap of the Glorious Contract Tree', and the other is the 'Tears of the Siren Singer'.

"As long as you can help me find one of them, the deal will be done."

Alger didn't show much reaction when he heard the first piece of information, but as soon as the words "Tears of the Siren Singer" came out, he showed a clear uneasy reaction.

As a senior navigator of the Church of Storms, he certainly knew what a siren was.

The siren, also known as the mermaid, is an aquatic humanoid creature. Legend has it that it occasionally appears on the route from the Gargas Islands to the depths of the Sonia Sea.

But for sailors, this creature is like a nightmare!
