Chapter 198: A New Line of Thought

After receiving The World’s nod of agreement and settling the matter of Louis Wayne, The Magician Fors thought for a moment and continued, “Everyone, does anyone have Meteorite Crystal and Lava Octopus blood crystals, or news of them?”

Those were the main ingredients for the Astrologer potion formula.

Fors had originally intended to continue with another commission, hoping that Mr. Moon, who was also in Backlund, could help her search for Louis Wayne’s whereabouts. But after considering it, she decided to try on her own first. Only if she truly had no method, or if all clues were thoroughly cut off, would she seek help at the Tarot Gathering.

Meteorite Crystal? Lava Octopus blood crystals? That sounds very familiar… Not because I already have the Astrologer potion formula… Right. The main ingredients for the Seer potion formula are fifty grams of Star Crystal and ten milliliters of Lava Octopus blood! The Astrologer’s main ingredients resemble upgraded versions of the Seer’s… As expected, the Apprentice pathway and Seer pathway can be interchanged in the future… As Klein thought to this point, inspiration suddenly struck him.

Since the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula is difficult to obtain, and all three paths are extremely dangerous, can I consider the Sequence 4 of a neighboring pathway? For example, the Apprentice pathway!

The moment this thought burst forth, he saw things clearly, and more than half of the difficulty weighing on his heart vanished.

As for the Apprentice’s Sequence 4 potion formula, the Tarot Club already had a clue: the Abraham family behind The Magician!

With that thought, the gaze The World gave Miss Magician unconsciously softened a little, causing Fors to inexplicably shiver and suspect that Mr. World had already started imagining how to hunt Louis Wayne.

At that moment, The Fool Klein remembered another issue. According to Dunn and Daly’s conjecture, the first five Sequences of the Seer pathway did not appear to have an obvious progressive relationship. Each provided one aspect of Beyonder ability, and at the critical node of Sequence 4, the five fingers would close into a fist, producing a qualitative change.

When Captain and Madam Daly made that conjecture, they only knew part of the information regarding Seer, Clown, and Magician. The later Faceless and Marionettist had used their own existences to verify this idea… So could it be that the Seer, Apprentice, and possibly Marauder pathways cannot be interchanged at Sequence 4, and that such interchange must wait until Sequence 3? Klein’s earlier joy slowly receded.

He knew too little about the matter and temporarily could not make a judgment. He could only wait for Mr. Azik’s reply and wait until he left the sea that had drawn the True Creator’s attention to contact Magic Mirror Arrodes.

While Klein’s thoughts surged, he suddenly heard The Hermit Cattleya speak:

“I have Lava Octopus blood crystals. One portion is 600 pounds.

“As for Meteorite Crystal, I know where to obtain it. How many grams do you need?”

Six hundred pounds. A very reasonable price… The Magician Fors answered with surprise and delight, “Sixty grams.”

“All right. I will provide it within two weeks. The price is also 600 pounds,” The Hermit Cattleya said succinctly and clearly.

Solved just like that… Madam Hermit is especially proactive today. She seems very involved. Uh, just now she… Fors quickly nodded.

“No problem.”

I currently have 830 pounds in savings, enough to buy the Lava Octopus blood crystals. But within two weeks, I’ll still need to raise about 400 pounds. The manuscript payment from after the new year will arrive soon, around 150 pounds, leaving a gap of 220 pounds. I’ll have to find another way to earn money… Fors swiftly calculated her financial situation in her mind.

Seeing Miss Magician gather the main potion ingredients in only a minute, Justice Audrey could no longer endure it. She raised her hand slightly and…
