Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 12 Old Neil's Advice
What kind of feeling is this...

Jiang Zhe touched his chest in confusion.

Dai Li caught a glimpse of Jiang Zhe's movements and mistakenly thought that Jiang Zhe was excited about more pathway sequences, so she gave him a few more words of advice:
"But don't think these additional paths are special... Those paths deliberately hidden by the Holy Temple, since they haven't been opened to more Nighthawks, must have certain flaws or concerns."

"Don't be fooled by the special!"

"For example, among the Night Watchmen, the most popular "Sleepless" path actually requires the most merits. This is because this sequence of paths is relatively low risk, teaches a lot of experience, and there are precedents for advancement."

"If I hadn't accidentally taken the 'Corpse Collector' potion...if I had a choice, I would definitely choose the 'Sleepless Man' path."

“Since you are embarking on this path, you must think clearly about the direction you want to take and start with the end in mind.”

"Don't try to absorb the Beyonder characteristics of other paths after choosing one! I don't want to deal with the mess you leave behind one day..."

Jiang Zhe asked honestly, "If I want to learn more about the characteristics of each sequence pathway, where can I start?"

"The relevant information is stored behind the Chanis Gate, and you have the permission to borrow it. First, you can enrich your knowledge by borrowing it and gain a better understanding of it. Dunn and I will then give you some advice."

These were Dai Li's heartfelt words, and Jiang Zhe kept these words and her kindness in mind.

Then Dai Li returned to her true nature and made some bad jokes, which made Jiang Zhe hold his forehead and try to retract his feelings for Dai Li.

The two talked as they walked.

Walking near his home, Jiang Zhe saw from afar many renovation workers repairing and renovating the house.

Some of the newly painted walls are actually being covered with warm-colored square bricks, and the originally dull exterior walls of the courtyard have also been given new decorations.

The workers were busy, and the sounds of shouting and talking could be heard from time to time.

Looking closer, you can see Jessica standing next to someone who looks like the person in charge, pointing and talking.

The newcomers to society who had not yet officially graduated, and the psychics who had difficulty accumulating wealth due to the purchase of extraordinary materials, all remained silent about the scene.

Is this a rich person?
Buying and renovating large areas without blinking an eye...

"You guys are back so early?" Jessica also saw the two of them. She was surprised at first, then said distressedly: "I thought you came back in the evening. It's the noisy time now. What should I do?"

"...So you're back on duty?" In the office, Luo Shan almost laughed to tears when she heard Jiang Zhe's reason for coming to the company to work overtime during his vacation.

"What about Ms. Daly?"

"Sister Dai Li dropped me off and then left."

"Oh, then he's probably going to work on a case with the captain. If I were you, I'd definitely go shopping... Hey, where are you going?"

"Go visit Mr. Neil. Sister Daly said Mr. Neil should be here right now."

"Why are you so busy? Well, Old Neil is sitting at the door of the armory, where Brett was on duty yesterday."

Luo Shan, who failed to persuade Jiang Zhe to chat with her, took out a newspaper from under the table and lay down on the table again like a salted fish.

"Thank you." Jiang Zhe pushed open the door to the underground.

Jiang Zhe walked alone through the long and dark tunnel until he reached the iron gate from yesterday. He stopped and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Someone responded from inside the door.

Jiang Zhe pushed the door open and saw an old man with gray hair and wearing a classical black robe sitting behind a table in the narrow room.

Under the gas lamp, the old man was studying a yellowed page of a book.

Jiang Zhe glanced at it and saw the same page she had read yesterday. She could confirm that this was the old Neil everyone was talking about.

Jiang Zhe didn't look at the old secret-peeker too offensively, and said politely, "Mr. Neil, I'm the new clerk, Claire Meazza. You can just call me Claire."

"It's been a while since we've had a new person here. I heard you're giving Dunn a headache." Old Neil held a cup of coffee and looked at Jiang Zhe with a smile in the faint aroma.

"Huh?" Jiang Zhemang said with a wry smile, "I might not really listen to advice. I came here this time to follow Sister Dai Li's advice and borrow more records that describe the sequence pathway in detail."

"She's a troublesome girl." Old Neil shrugged, but didn't try to persuade her like the others did. "Sit down and wait. I'll get the information for you."

Old Neil turned and walked out of the iron gate. Not long after, he came back with a stack of documents and piled them on the table in front of Jiang Zhe.

"The treatment for newcomers has really improved. They all have the permission to borrow these materials before taking the potion. Take a look at them first, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

After Jiang Zhe expressed his gratitude, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he looked at the information in front of him.

While reading and sorting out the information, Jiang Zhe gradually gained a basic understanding of potions and each sequence.

Old Neil was working on his own on the other side.

The two of them did not disturb each other, and for a long time, the only sound in the narrow room was the rustling of flipping pages.

After finishing reading the last page, Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

She really benefited a lot from this time.

The historical church data is comprehensive and rich, listing descriptions of the various stages of Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 of the numerous pathways.

Although some sequences do not have potion names, the descriptions of the Beyonders' performance in those sequences are sufficiently detailed.

Based on Daly's suggestions, Jiang Zhe made a preliminary classification based on whether inspiration was improved:
"Hunter", "Generalist", "Sailor".

"The Apprentice", "The Thief", "The Body Collector", "The Mystery Pryer", "The Audience", "The Fortuneteller", "The Monster", and "The Sleepless One".

Among the various initial sequences recorded in the materials before us, only three are not focused on enhancing inspiration.

The rest all enhance inspiration.

hunter……

It can not only avoid the dangers of inspiration enhancement, but also greatly enhance individual combat capabilities, and can also transform into a male at Sequence 4...

This sequence suits Jiang Zhe's needs very well.

Old Neil noticed Jiang Zhe's classification with great interest and asked, "Why do you classify it this way?"

Jiang Zhe also hoped to gain some inspiration from this experienced and senior Beyonder, so he shared Dai Li's warning: "...So Sister Dai Li suggested that I choose a sequence that doesn't increase inspiration."

Old Neil suddenly realized, "Daly's considerations are very practical..."

As he spoke, Old Neil picked out a document from the archive and pushed it in front of Jiang Zhe. "Actually, you can choose this one too."

Jiang Zhe took a look and was surprised: "Sleepless?"

This is the complete sequence mastered by the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and it is also the best choice for the Nighthawks.

Night vision is available during the initial sequence.

You will be full of energy at night and don’t need to rest, and your quality in all aspects will be improved.

You only need to rest for three to four hours during the day.

But the document clearly states:
Beyonders who take the "Insomniac" potion are known for their high intuition, allowing them to keenly perceive unknown dangers and unknown existences hidden in the darkness. This intuition is especially enhanced at night!
