Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 195 The Prince Fires the First Shot Against the Witch

Edessak looked up at Serris and said, "You are like a devil tempting others to fall into depravity."

"Are you kidding? I'm the archbishop, officially certified!" Serris tilted his head.

"So... what do you mean?" Edessak took off the mask on his face.

He no longer cared about being exposed or not. Just now, Serris's constant calling of "Prince" had almost exposed him.

"Become a Beyonder. I have the potion you need." Ceres said, "I have a potion you can never find anywhere else."

"A potion that can never be found anywhere else?" Edsak asked in disbelief.

"Why do you think the three major churches recognized us? A church... with no more than ten believers?" Serris leaned forward.

"Because we've invented a brand new potion, a potion beyond the twenty-two divine paths," Serris said. "It can be taken simultaneously with the Extraordinary potion, allowing one to become a dual-path Extraordinary. I call them Destiny Potions."

Edessak looked Ceris in the eye. "You're telling me this. Aren't you afraid I'll be exposed? Even if I don't say it, I can't prevent divination, psychic communication, and mind reading."

"It doesn't matter." Serris spread his hands. "If they can find the materials, then they are awesome."

The raw materials for the fate potion were all dug out by him from the narrow spaces of fate. Unless there was someone else who could freely enter and exit the narrow spaces of almost all fates like him, it would be impossible to do so.

If someone really can do it, then it doesn't matter whether there is a potion formula or not.

Edsak's left hand unconsciously tapped the armrest of the seat: "So I can buy the Destiny Potion from you, and then find the Extraordinary Potion myself to become a dual-path Extraordinary."

"That's it." Serris took out a small bottle. "This is it. I can give it to you for free if it's Sequence Nine."

Edsak looked at the bottle, then at Ceres, and took it in silence.

As an abandoned child since childhood, any extra effort he can make now is a good thing.

Looking at the potion in his hand that was still bubbling and looked like soda, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping me?"

"Because it's fun." Serris said nonchalantly, "This is the Church of Joy. Our goal is to make ourselves happy."

Edsac chuckled without changing his expression: "Then your church is quite good."

"Then would you consider believing in our great Lord of Fools?" Serris raised his chin toward Klein.

But Edessak didn't notice, thinking he was referring to the Holy Symbol of the Fool.

"If you can save me and Triss, I can convert." He has already understood that not only him, but also Triss is just a bargaining chip that can be sacrificed at any time.

"Then this potion can be regarded as a small investment from me to the Joyful Believers." Ceris gestured.

Edessak looked at the bubbles coming out of the bottle. "What is the name of this potion?"

"This one," Ceres replied with a smile. "It's called [Phantom Moth Servant]."

Klein looked at Serris in surprise. He remembered that [Illusionary Moth Servant] was the ninth level of the breeding potion.

Is this the prince's first shot in his rebellion against the witch?
"Cockroaches...bugs...that doesn't sound good," said Edsak.

"But something is better than nothing, isn't it?" Serris didn't explain the meaning of this path. "The Beyonders of this path can, to a certain extent, create illusions, disrupting the thoughts and perceptions of others. It's still possible for Sequence Nine."

"That's right." Edsak nodded. "Does it require any preparation? Or can I just drink it directly?"

Klein interrupted, "You can start with a glass of Intis's Olmire wine and a Dixie cigar. Then... hum a melodious tune and do a brisk court dance... If you like tap dancing, that's fine too. Finally, play a game of Gwent... if you're nervous."

Edsac smiled and said, "You are very good at lightening the mood, sir."

"That's what one of my teachers taught me." Klein smiled and shrugged. Edsac nodded and looked back at the potion. He took two deep breaths, calmed himself, and drank it directly.

Instantly, a colorful hallucination appeared before his eyes, a buzzing sound like insects echoed in his ears, and a tingling sensation appeared in every corner of his body.

Klein suddenly thought of something and nudged Serris with his elbow. "You haven't given Padu the potion yet."

Serris thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

He held out his hand: "Give me money."

Klein turned back to look at Pardo: "Give me the money."

Padomeow scratched his ears with his hind legs, his eyes clear: "I don't have it with me."

"Then I'll advance the money for you. Remember to pay it back later." Klein reluctantly took out ten ten-pound notes from his wallet and handed them to Ceres.

Serris casually threw two bottles, and Klein caught them steadily.

"Two?" Klein asked in confusion.

The two bottles were labeled "Nine" and "Eight" respectively. Klein could roughly guess what they meant, but it would be better to confirm it.

"She probably digested the [Fire Chaser] potion quickly. The other bottle is the [Withered Patient] of Sequence Eight."

Klein looked at the bottle with the number eight written on it: "Withered Patient? Are you sure this is [Harmony]?"

"Your Sequence Nine [Joy] is called the Mourning Actor." Serris curled his lips. "It's probably about patients supporting and helping each other. You can figure out the specific meaning yourself."

Klein looked down again and said, "A Sequence 450 potion costs about pounds... I don't have that much money on me. I'll give it to you later."

"It's okay, you can save up slowly." Serris didn't care.

"What do you mean by saving?" Klein immediately became unhappy. "I just didn't have it with me."

Then came some difficult-to-understand words, such as "Heaven will confer a great responsibility on this person", and for a moment the church was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Padmeow had no intention of drinking the potion later. He smashed the bottle cap with his two front paws on the spot, held the bottle and poured the potion into his mouth.

Thanks to Padomeow's own luck, not a single piece of broken glass fell into the potion when he tapped the bottle cap, and no potion spilled when he drank it.

At this time, Edsak also came back to his senses after drinking the potion, which made him mentally unstable, seeing hallucinations and hearing buzzing sounds.

He shook his head and said, "This potion makes me feel a little dizzy."

"Relax, it's normal to feel dizzy," Ceres said with a smile.

Afterwards, Ceres taught Edessak the techniques of meditation and told him some tips such as "acting method".

Klein was a little envious. He didn't have such conditions back then.

Finally, Serris introduced to Edsak the ten paths of destiny he invented and their respective sequence nines.

"Breed!" Edessak's shocked voice echoed throughout the church.

"Yes, you should be able to feel the enhancement brought to you by the potion tonight." Serris smiled happily.

It's time to let the evil witch experience the majesty of the prince.

It's up to you. Go ahead, Edessak, use Prince Charge!
