Seeing that Tower didn't take out the diary this time, Klein looked at Justice and The Hanged Man.
"Mr. Fool, I still need one to two weeks before I can return to the continent," Alger said respectfully with his head lowered.
After experiencing the sacrificial and bestowment rituals, he no longer dared to rashly test Mr. Fool.
Klein acutely sensed the slight change in his attitude, and he felt relieved. It looked like his 10 pounds experiment fee wasn't wasted… The effect was very obvious. It was just that he had been a little tight on funds for the past week.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fool. I didn't manage to gather any new Roselle diary pages." Miss Justice felt a little guilty. She believed that she would definitely find Fors when she returned and get her to gather a few more diary pages as soon as possible.
When The Fool Klein saw that there was indeed no new diary, he didn't say anything. He leaned back in his chair and said,
"You can begin the exchange."
With that said, Audrey immediately looked at Tower Ebner who was diagonally across the long bronze table, and asked,
"Mr. Tower, is there any news about the Telepathist potion formula?"
Ebner was already prepared to raise money, so he nodded and replied with a smile, "I've already obtained the formula. You can know its content with 500 pounds.
"The transaction will be witnessed by Mr. Fool. You don't have to worry that it's fake."
He obtained the Telepathist formula in just a week? Mr. Tower's ability to find the formula is indeed very strong… Does he have extensive and reliable resources and connections in this field?
Audrey was somewhat surprised, but she quickly nodded and replied, "No problem. I'll be able to 'sacrifice' the money to Mr. Fool when I return."
She trusted The Fool very much and never doubted that she would obtain the fake formula.
Seeing that she had readily agreed, Ebner applied for a pen and paper from The Fool. He silently wrote down the Telepathist formula and handed it to Justice, who sat opposite the long table.
Audrey took it and looked at it expectantly.
"Main ingredients: Complete pituitary gland of the adult Rainbow Salamander, 10 ml of spinal fluid from the Falsman Rabbit."
"Supplementary ingredients: Chestnut Spore 5 grams, Dragon Tooth Grass Powder 8 grams, White Sprite Flower 3 petals, 100 milliliters of pure water."
"Excellent!" Audrey praised as she carefully memorized the formula. She decided that after "sacrificing" the gold pounds to Mr. Fool, she would head to her treasure vault to search for it.
After the transaction of the formula ended, Ebner looked at the silent The Hanged Man and Justice, who was in high spirits, and said again, "I'm selling a mystical item. Which of you is interested?"
Upon hearing this, Audrey immediately cast her gaze over. Even her Spectator powers couldn't hide the intense "interest" in her eyes.
When Alger heard that he turned to look at Ebner and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of mystical item?"
Ebner looked up at Klein and asked "respectfully," Honorable Mr. Fool, can you help me conjure the image of a mystical item? "
Klein was similarly curious about the mystical item mentioned by Tower. After some thought, he felt that it shouldn't be a problem to conjure an image. Hence, he smiled and said, "Sure."
After obtaining permission, Ebner immediately conjured a ring embedded with red and black gems. It came from the Eternal life Society's Morella, who was the boss behind the service company that made Ebner become a Hero for the first time.
He had already appraised this ring a long time ago. It wasn't forged from a Beyonder characteristic, but the piece of gem that had been pieced together had been stained with the blood of two Beyonders. It had also been processed by an Artisan, giving it the powers of a Swindler and Provost.
And this portion of the ability was only at Sequence 8. He had long finished analyzing it and could simulate it. There was no need for it.
"I call this ring 'Fake Rage.'
"The person wearing it can create illusions on targets above one person and below five, and incite the target's anger in the illusions, causing them to kill each other.
Of course, I can also create illusions without using my ability to incite anger. However, if the target is rational and calm, they will quickly see through this illusion. The effects will be much worse.
"This mystical item doesn't have any negative effects. If I wear it for a long period of time, I'll feel a little frustrated, but I can use Cogitation or Beyonder powers to suppress it. Furthermore, as long as I take it off, it will quickly recover.
"In the end, it will only be effective for a year. After a year, it will become an ordinary gemstone ring."
After hearing Ebner's introduction, Audrey looked at the ring with sparkling eyes, not hiding her fondness at all.
Putting aside the ability, the key was that the red and black gemstone was very beautiful. It aroused Miss Justice's desire to buy it.
"Mr. Tower, how much does it cost?"
Ebner thought for a moment and gave a false high price. "400 pounds!"
Normally speaking, if a similar item appeared at a teacher's gathering, the transaction price would be around 300.
"Alright, I'll take it! I'll sacrifice it to Mr. Fool along with the Telepathist's fee later," Audrey said without any hesitation, afraid that The Hanged Man would come out to intercept her.
Klein sat in the seat of honor and secretly sighed. Miss Justice sure is rich. Including the formula from before, she spent 900 pounds in just a short period of time… The total value of 2 Daffodil Street is only 850 pounds…
Alger was actually somewhat interested in the ring. He originally wanted to say something, but he knew that he couldn't beat Justice in terms of wealth. In the end, he would only benefit the Tower for nothing, so he could only give up.
At this moment, Ebner, who had made two deals in a row, didn't stop. He said again, "I also want to sell a Beyonder characteristic, Lawyer's Beyonder characteristic."
According to the progress of the analysis, another main material of the 'erudite scholar' would be analyzed in a few days. Ebner planned to save more money.
Is Tower selling so much because he killed a Lawyer? The Hanged Man immediately made the connection when he heard that.
As for Klein and Audrey, although they were somewhat wistful about the Tower's activity, they were mostly puzzled.
"Beyonder characteristic? What's that?" Audrey asked the question that Klein wanted to ask.
At that moment, Ebner recalled that other than Alger, the other two likely didn't know what a Beyonder characteristic was. Hence, after some deliberation, he explained,
"There is a law in mysticism… This law is called the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility.
"The Beyonder characteristic will not be destroyed or reduced. It will only shift from one object to another."
It won't be destroyed, nor will it decrease. It will only shift from one object to another… Audrey ruminated over Mr. Tower's description and felt that this simple sentence contained too many meanings.
Her emerald-green eyes turned, and when she saw that The Hanged Man didn't show any signs of surprise or contemplation, she immediately understood that this Tarot Club member had long known of this law.
I'm the only one who doesn't know… she thought with some grievance.
And Mr. Fool seemed to see through her thoughts from the color of her emotions. He silently added inwardly, "And me. I don't know either."
However, he quickly recalled the grayish-white object left behind after the Nighthawks killed the monster that had lost control of Ray Bieber. It was the grayish-white object that had been stored away by Nighthawk Aiur Harson in Backlund.
Perhaps Beyonders who lose control will leave behind Sealed Artifacts, mystical items, or main ingredients for potions?
Just as Klein thought that he heard Tower add,
"Therefore, after a Beyonder who loses control dies, they will leave behind an item that condenses a Beyonder characteristic. It might be the main ingredient of a potion, or it might be a mystical item that needs to be sealed. It's the same for normal Beyonders after they die. However, it will be equivalent to the corresponding potion without any supplementary ingredients. Of course, it also possesses a certain amount of Beyonder powers and can be used as a half-completed mystical item."
A little equivalent to a potion… A little equivalent to a potion! Klein's pupils constricted as a bolt of lightning seemed to strike his mind, illuminating the endless darkness.
He suddenly understood many things. He understood why Beyonder pathways wouldn't be severed when the materials were cut off.
Apart from substitutes, one could also rely on the remains of Beyonders!
As for Audrey, she was similarly stunned. She thought of eating people and felt like she was having a nightmare!
How can it be so cruel? How can it be so dark? Audrey had always yearned for the mysterious world in the past, and her fantasies of it were biased towards romance and cool… But this time, she realized that the mysterious world was filled with gray and black.
Ebner stopped here, waiting for Miss Justice to regain her composure, but he thought,
As for Beyonder characteristics, it was fine as long as he explained the true general knowledge. As for the other laws of Beyonder characteristics, it was best left for The Fool to use in the future.
