Or more accurately, it was the Evernight Goddess who was focusing on him.
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly, his emotions becoming increasingly complex.
'Maybe when I was promoted to Clown, the reason Mr. Cesimir came to assess me personally was due to the Goddess's secret arrangement...'
Klein carefully recalled his experiences since crossing over, and for a moment, he couldn't determine how much of it was coincidence and how much was orchestrated by others.
After all, though Klein hadn't been in this world for long, his experiences could indeed be called rich.
Fortunately, thanks to a certain angel, Klein had long been mentally prepared for this. Although he sighed a little, he accepted the reality.
At least for now, neither the Angel of Secrets nor the Evernight Goddess seemed to want to harm him... Klein muttered to himself as he moved his body and finally had time to feel the changes brought by the potion.
The Magician potion bestowed Klein with abilities true to the name "Magician." He could distinctly feel that his hands had become more dexterous, his movements more agile, and he now had the potential to become a top-notch magician.
However, this didn't mean Klein could immediately become a top-tier magician, as skills still required practice.
Besides the physical changes, the Magician also brought Klein several abilities. Although none were particularly offensive, they still made Klein's eyes light up—such as "Damage Transfer," "Flame Jump," and "Air Bullet."
With these abilities, Klein's ability to survive had greatly increased, and his mobility in combat had also improved. Combined with the greatly enhanced spirituality after advancing to Sequence 7, Klein even dared to say that if he encountered that Devil Dog again, with "Creeping Hunger" and the "Devil Revolver," he could truly kill it alone.
After all, Klein now lacked neither mobility nor control nor attack power. Even his physical shortcomings were compensated for by the Devil Revolver's self-enhancement mode. While fighting a Sequence 5 might still be challenging, against Sequence 6, Klein was confident he could handle most opponents.
Of course, other abilities were not useless either. Abilities like "Flame Controlling," "Illusion Creation," "Underwater Breathing," "Bone Softening," "Drawing Paper As Weapons," and "Paper Figurine Substitute" could also be used in various situations.
In addition to these nine abilities, the Magician potion gave Klein the skill to cast spells quickly. Now, he could even cast spells or spell-like effects with a simple gesture without incantations or infusing spirituality, greatly reducing vulnerabilities during combat.
In short, although the Magician potion was somewhat unpleasant to drink, the abilities it granted were mostly practical. The only drawback was the lack of powerful offensive abilities.
However, for Klein, who already had the Devil Revolver, this was not a problem.
"How should I play the role of a Magician? By conventional understanding, a Magician should need... a dazzling performance?" After understanding the new abilities, Klein almost instinctively began to think about how to play the role of a Magician.
...
Regarding Klein's promotion to Magician, Lynn naturally had some reservations. However, he didn't specifically go to the underground of St. Samuel Cathedral to witness it but was happily using his main account to slack off while manipulating his second identity from the Fourth Epoch to forge the genealogy of the Abraham family.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't exactly forgery because Lynn was openly directing the old Butler to modify the genealogy under Bethel's witness.
"Is this enough, young master? Don't you need to add more content?" the old Butler asked with a kind smile after finishing the genealogy, looking at Lynn as if he were his own long-lost child, seemingly unconcerned about Lynn messing with the Abraham family's history.
Or perhaps it wasn't just random changes. Lynn had only added a bit about himself to the existing records, mainly to create a reasonable background for his identity as Libert Abraham. He hadn't altered much else.
This was one of the reasons the old Butler not only didn't object but also actively helped with the genealogy.
In this old Butler's eyes, Lynn's actions weren't about changing the Abraham family's history but simply making his identity more official, similar to being entered into the family register.
Even Lord Bethel didn't object.
Bethel: ...Thank you, but I don't dare oppose it.
Not to mention that Lynn was merely formalizing his fake identity, given his current status, it would naturally be recorded in the genealogy during the next update. So, what's the difference if it's done sooner or later? It's better than him causing trouble outside.
Bethel's requirements were really low in this regard.
He just hoped the troublesome child wouldn't cause too much commotion.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Writing it all at once would make it less interesting." Lynn nodded, then pulled out a notebook made of parchment from who knows where and handed it to the old Butler.
"Please put this diary with the important family documents, and make several copies to distribute. Spread the word that the diary contains major secrets and that deciphering these secrets could grant a complete pathway potion formula or some treasures."
"Of course, Mr. Butler, you can read the diary first. I don't mind." Lynn added with a smile.
Hearing this, the old Butler was momentarily stunned. He hesitated for a second before opening the diary, only to frown immediately.
The diary was written in a language he didn't recognize. The old Butler was sure that the square characters weren't from any language he knew.
'Was this a secret script created by Libert?'
This old Butler speculated internally. Although he didn't understand Lynn's purpose, he still nodded and said, "Rest assured, young master Libert. I guarantee that before long, the entire Tudor Empire will know about this."
"I look forward to it. Thank you, Mr. Butler," Lynn sincerely thanked him.
