The Lord Of Mysteries
Chapter 34: Advance Payments

In the windowless basement, the burly Alger Wilson sat near a long table with various utensils and goat-skin parchments on it.

In front of him was a half-done candle. The dim and yellowish flickering of the fire casts shadows on objects and tables moving like mirages.

Algerian hair is disheveled like seaweed with a dark blue color that resembles black. He was wearing a robe with lightning pattern embroidery on it. He clasped his hands with his thumbs facing each other while he focused on the bottle of black liquid to the left of the candle.

Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!

Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!

The sound of strong winds or the pounding of sea waves howled from inside the sealed bottle. And in places where the black ink did not sink, a faint mist would spin. It was as if it was growing eyes and mouth.

Algeria tilted its head to look at the clock hanging on the wall and saw its needle reach the number three.

He pressed his temples as his eyes darkened. Attractive colors appear from various items on the table.

At that moment, he found a deep red light appearing like a tidal wave out of nowhere, drowning him instantly!

…

Backlund, Consort of Borough, Inside the Hall's family mansion.

After firing her dance teacher, Audrey locked the door and sat upright in front of her dresser.

The sun outside is very bright and beautiful. There was a light brown notebook made from beautiful goat skin. It flips open to reveal that it is empty. On his right was a pen with a gold tip and rubies embedded.

Audrey did the test and made sure that she could take the pen and write down the formula as soon as she left the Gathering.

"I was looking forward to it .." He took a breath to suppress his excited emotions as he looked into the mirror with pursed lips.

However, he did not see it reflecting himself. Instead, dark red rays and illusions burst out from his body!

…

Above the gray fog stood a majestic heavenly hall that looked like a gigantic residence.

A deep red color bloomed on both sides of the bronze table. They soared upwards like fountains before breaking downwards. It 'carved' two blurry figures sitting in the same place as before.

Audrey, with her soft blond hair and tall and slender body, instinctively looked towards the Seat of Honor. He saw a figure immersed in a thick gray fog sitting back down. One hand flattened, touching the side of the table while the other hand stroked his chin.

"Good day, Mr. Stupid~!" Audrey shouted in a cheerful voice.

After which, he turned his head and looked at the person opposite him. In the same tone, he said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man~!"

This woman is really unsophisticated. Is he so sure that I'm a good person? Why is there no fear of him? Was she a noblewoman who had been well protected? Klein smiled and maintained his unfathomable image.

"Good day, Miss Justice."

As he spoke, he slightly lowered his head and moved his left hand and tapped his glabella twice.

What he saw changed immediately. He saw Justice and The Hanged Man exuding the color of their aura!

And the gray fog around it and the dark red star remained the same. Nothing that seems non-existent or sparkling brilliance that has life in sight.

He averted his gaze and saw that Justice's aura perfectly matched the color depicted by Old Neil. What should be red, purple, blue, or white are their respective colors. Furthermore, they retain their sparkling brilliance and appropriate thickness. It was easy to tell that she was an excited young girl.

The emotional colors are red and yellow. It was excitement, excitement, and excitement. Klein made a judgment before directing his attention to The Hanged Man.

Like Justice, there is nothing special about the aura color of The Hanged Man. His emotions were blue mixed with orange.

Calm, thoughtful, careful, and a little happy? With this being his first attempt, Klein made a conclusion without much confidence.

As he shifted his gaze, he suddenly realized something strange.

The innermost layer aura of the Hanged Man was almost the same color!

Klein focused his mind and looked again closely. He could faintly see that deep inside the Ether Body of the Hanged Man was a deep blue color, similar to the sea. It feels like a tidal storm.

Astral Projection? Or should I say the surface of his Astral Projection? From the looks of it, he was truly a Beyonder, and one that seemed to be stronger than Old Neil. Klein analyzed as his mind was filled with questions. "no need. It may have something to do with this unique environment. Just because this is my birthplace, I can see things that Old Neil did not manifest."

He turned his head towards Justice again and made sure that it was a characteristic that only Beyonders had.

Audrey took a light breath as she asked with anticipation, "Hungry Master, did you receive the Ghost Shark's blood box?"

Algeria looked at Klein and saw him knocking on his glabella as if he was considering other things.

"Thank you very much. It really lived up to my expectations.I never expected you to send it to me so soon. The blood of the Ghost Shark is not a typical extraordinary creature" Alger said frankly.

Audrey smiled humbly and said, "i'm very happy to see this result."

Since he liked everything related to mysteries from a young age, he befriended people in aristocratic circles with similar interests. They had exchanged information, books, and rare artifacts among each other. But before this, none of them had ever obtained the magical power to become a true Beyonder. Instead, there were some princes who hinted that they could give what they wanted if they became their princess consort.

However, he had obtained the blood of the Ghost Shark directly from his family vault. After all, the inventory only stated 'one large bottle', without mentioning how many milliliters or how full it was, he believed that pouring just a little would not be noticed. Even if there was an accident and the matter was revealed, his parents were unlikely to pursue the matter.

Algeria stared deeply at the Foolish One shrouded in mist before looking back with a smile.

"According to our agreement, I'll tell you the formula of the potion, Audience."

"Let me prepare. All right, start." Audrey took a breath as she focused her full attention.

"Low Order Banquet is very easy to make. Just follow the orders I gave you. Keep in mind that there may be smaller amounts of ingredients but no more. That would cause a big problem.You should have heard about the news about the Beyonders who lost. control. I believe there is no need for me to repeat it?" Algeria first mentioned things to note.

Audrey nodded gently and said, "i understand completely."

While he was talking, he turned to look at the Foolish Master. He wanted to know if the mystery expert had anything to add; unfortunately, the Fool sat there quietly like a statue.

Algeria thought for a moment before saying, "Having a smaller number doesn't mean having to deviate too much... If you don't have an assistant, I suggest you take the time to get used to the chemistry experiment."

"i have a family tutor for things like that" Audrey replied without feeling overwhelmed.

After Algeria mentioned the furthest aberration, he recited very fluently, "Audience. Herb order 9. 80 milliliters of pure water. 5 drops of autumn crocus juice. 13 grams of cow tooth paeonol powder. 7 petals of fairy flowers. Eyeballs Ripe Manhal Fish Add 35 milliliters of blood of goat-horned black fish.

"The last two items are the main ingredients. They are amazing creatures of the sea. You have to be careful."

"Good." Audrey recalled and repeated, "80 milliliters of pure water. 5 drops of autumn crocus juice, 13 grams of cow teeth…"

"Paeonol powder," Algeria reminded.

With her help, Audrey gradually and precisely memorized the formula sequence. However, he looked worried as he muttered it again and again.

"Do you know about Cogitation?" When Algeria saw Justice nod, she continued, "i don't know how much you know about Cogitation. Let me explain it once .. After consuming the potion, immediately begin Cogitation to control your spirituality and energy .. Be sure to practice every day to truly understand the potion's power. Dig up the meaning it symbolizes and even more its mysteries. That way, you can avoid the danger of losing control as much as possible. And the meaning of the potion mainly lies in its ability of name, such as Audience!"

Klein quietly listened to the conversation and had no plans to interrupt. All he did was memorize and study silently, but when he heard that, he suddenly thought.

Audrey listens to The Hanged Man's explanation attentively, and just as she is about to ask him something more detailed, she suddenly hears a rap sound on the table, which is,

He and Algeria turned their heads and looked at the Fool. They realized that the mysterious and mighty figure was tapping gently with his fingers. He said in a deep voice, "It's not about grasping it, but digesting it.

"It's not about invention, it's about acting.

"The name of the herb is not only symbolic, it is also an image. This is the key to digest."

Audrey was dazed and confused to hear it. He was not very clear about what Mr was trying to reveal. Fools.

He subconsciously looked at The Hanged Man for a reaction from the corner of his eyes. He was surprised to see her flinch and freeze. It was as if an ordinary person had heard a loud and sudden thunder.

"Digesting, acting.Digesting, acting.Digesting, acting, locks.." Algeria repeated it again and again gently as if she had grasped the concept of keys or succumbed to strange curses.

After a while, he lifted his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Mr. Fool. Your guidance is as precious as my life.You have enlightened me greatly. Of course, I'm sure I haven't fully understood or understood it."

Klein maintained his mysterious and unexpected image by saying with a smile, "That's a down payment."

In fact, he did not really understand the true meaning of what was said. He was simply convinced that Emperor Roselle was stronger than the typical Beyonder and stronger than The Hanged Man."

Audrey looks at The Hanged Man's reaction and knows that the clues from before are worth it. As he pondered over it, he asked, "Slady, what do you want us to do?"

Opposite him, Algeria said with a nod, "What problem do you want to entrust to us?"

Klein slightly leaned back as he glanced at the two of them before saying in a soft and pleasant voice, "Gather Roselle Gustav's secret diary in my name, even if it's only one page."
