Chapter 119: The Notarial Certificate

Chapter One Hundred NineteenThe Notarial Certificate

That is a very generous offer…

Klein almost could not believe what he was hearing.

Although the most valuable thing—the Beyonder characteristic left behind by a Sequence 5 powerhouse—and the special, powerful Sealed Artifact would go to them, the remainder was not bad at all!

It was impossible for a Sequence 5 powerhouse to possess only the Sealed Artifact granted by his organization. And if the Sequence 6 Living Corpse or the Sequence 7 Werewolf left anything behind, either one would be worth a considerable sum.

Klein leaned back slightly, adopting the pose of someone deep in thought, using it to suppress the greed that had suddenly surged in his heart.

“Your conditions are indeed satisfying,” he replied. Then he changed the subject and asked, “Who is Karman the Sorcerer King? What does his Book of Secrets record?”

Maric rubbed his temple and said, “Sorcerer King can refer either to a certain high-Sequence profession, or to an outstanding person who controls powers in the domains of darkness, the moon, and the strange—someone powerful beyond others of the same kind. Karman was the latter, and also the former.

“He was active on the Southern Continent in the early Fifth Epoch. Later, all traces of him vanished completely. Perhaps he was captured and killed by the Church of Death or by that secret organization of ours. Perhaps, due to old age, he died in some place no one knows.

“His Book of Secrets includes knowledge of secret pacts, rituals, alchemy, astrology, symbolism, methods of interacting with nature, and other fields. Even an ordinary person who obtained it could become an expert in mysticism. They might even, without consuming a potion, rely on their own natural spirituality to complete a small number of supernatural feats. Mm, the price would be slowly turning into a mental patient. That is the lingering consequence of spirituality being unable to bear the burden.”

Sounds very good… exactly what I need… But this mission is not only difficult in itself. It will also bring trouble afterward. That is a secret organization with a history of over a thousand years…

After pondering for several seconds, Klein still chose to obey his inner will.

“I would like a certain amount of time to consider.

“This is a very major and very dangerous matter. I cannot act impulsively.

“I will give an answer tomorrow morning at nine. Mm, come to my house. You know the address.”

He looked at Sharron when he spoke the last part. Once he finished, he suddenly felt a little anxious and tense.

The other party had revealed so many important secrets, even involving their hidden weaknesses. If he did not choose to agree on the spot, would he be silenced immediately?

Or perhaps they would follow me at every moment until I make a decision?

Then how am I supposed to divine above the gray fog?

Sharron, in her black court dress, quietly looked at Klein. Within her blue eyes, there was no anger, no suspicion, and no emotion at all.

She suddenly took a folded sheet of paper out from some concealed pocket and unfolded it into a rectangle.

The entire sheet was orange-yellow. It was covered with many symbolic signs, including those representing the sun.

Those symbols and marks encircled a blank area, making one feel warmth and steadiness.

The moment Klein saw that sheet, he remembered what it was, and his heart, which had been hanging in midair, settled at once.

This had also come from Marionettist Rosago. This was the Notarial Certificate!

When the spoils had been divided, this mystical item had belonged to Sharron.

Pale and exquisite, Sharron passed the Notarial Certificate to Klein and said concisely, “Press here.

“Promise not to reveal what you just heard.”

Hoo…

Klein exhaled and nodded solemnly.

“All right.”

Following her instruction, he accepted the Notarial Certificate, pressed his palm onto the blank area, and carefully said, “I swear not to tell anyone else what I…
