Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 325 Grand Drama

'The Sun', 'Judgment', and 'Magician' chose to crush the remaining fire one after another, which undoubtedly surprised the other members of the Tarot Club.

'Sun' is in the God-forsaken Land, and it is difficult for him to obtain the potion formula of the 'Singer' path. He himself is in urgent need of improving his strength, so it is understandable that he would agree to such a deal.

Then why are there 'Judgement' and 'Magician'?
Let’s not talk about the ‘Judgment’ for now, but the ‘Hermit’ has always believed that the ‘Magician’ should have the support of a powerful force behind him. In theory, he should not be short of potion formulas. Why would he take the initiative to propose such a deal?
The Hanged Man's eyes flickered. Although he was also confused, he did not speak rashly.

In contrast, Justice knew more about this matter than anyone else. She knew that Ember and Magician had known each other for a long time, so it was not surprising that they would take the initiative to propose a deal.

Audrey thought for a few seconds, raised her hand slightly and said:

"Mr. Lover, I also need the potion formula for Sequence 4 of the Audience pathway."

Yu Jin glanced at her, shook his head and said:

"You do not need."

"Eh?"

Audrey blinked, and the next second a piece of paper appeared in front of her:

"Sequence 4: Manipulator
Main material: The complete brain of an old psychic dragon, or the crystal heart of a treeman mentor
Supplementary materials: 80 ml of blood from the old psychic dragon, 3 golden leaves from the tree man mentor, and 7 drop of tears from different humans or humanoid creatures due to strong emotions.

Rituals: Take the potion in a special setting with at least 10,000 people, in a state of great emotional resonance."

"Didn't you say I don't need it?" Justice Audrey blinked, confused. If she didn't need it, why did he give her the potion formula? Could it be that when Ember said she didn't need it, she wasn't referring to the potion formula, but the ember?

Audrey suddenly remembered that she seemed to have come into contact with "flame" a long time ago.

That is Carla's king soul. According to Carla, the king soul is one of the powers of the first fire.

"That is to say, I have already experienced the baptism of the first fire, so I don't need to go through it again."

'Justice' Audrey quickly sorted out all the key points, but there were still some questions in her mind - the three 'Sun's' would become 'Fire King' state after crushing the remaining fire, with burning 'sparks' attached to their astral bodies, but why did she never have this phenomenon?
Could it be because what they crushed were just the embers, while it was the king's soul that completed her 'baptism'?

What is the difference?
'Justice' was thinking, but the three 'Hermits' had different expressions.

The Hermit has the formula for a Sequence 4 potion, and she has all the formulas for subsequent potions up to Sequence 1, because the Mysterious Queen has them.

Therefore, she didn't need to go through this kind of 'transaction' with the gods in exchange for the potion formula.

The same goes for the Hanged Man. He already has the formula for a Sequence 4 potion, so he doesn't need to make this "trade". When he reaches Sequence 4, he might get the formula for a Sequence 3 potion through a trade, but not now.

Although Moon didn't have a Sequence 4 potion formula, he had the support of the Blood Clan, so he didn't lack potion formulas. What he lacked was the Beyonder characteristic. Ember had promised to sell him a copy of the Beyonder characteristic of the Witch King, which corresponded to the Blood Clan Count, so Moon had no reason to rashly accept the deal.

After this round of trading was over, Cattleya looked at the Magician and said:

"I want to know the clues of the direct descendants of Abraham's family. 1000 pounds."

She made the offer without any psychological burden, because the 'Mysterious Queen' would definitely give her corresponding compensation.

Why did she look at me and say that? Did she already know that I was related to the Abraham family? Magician Fors was shocked at first, but then he felt that it was not surprising. Beyonders from the Gate path were not common, and organized Beyonders from the Gate path were even rarer.

As far as Fors knew, the only organizations that had large-scale "doors" to extraordinary people were the Aurora Society and the Abraham Family. Excluding the answer from the Aurora Society, the Hermit could naturally guess that she was related to the Abraham Family.

Although 1000 pounds was very tempting, Fors did not agree immediately. After all, the value offered by the Abraham family was higher than that.

After considering it for a while, Magician Fors said:

"What do you want to do with them? If you can provide a reason, I can convey it to them. As for whether there will be any follow-up developments, it all depends on their wishes. I can't be sure."

As expected, she is a lady who looks ordinary but actually hides many secrets and is very cautious and careful in doing things... The Hermit Cattleya sighed inwardly and nodded slightly:
“That makes sense.

"I am looking for the direct descendants of Abraham's family in the hope of obtaining information from Mr. Men. You should convey this to them and see if there is any opportunity for cooperation. Well, just for conveying the information, I will also pay you 350 pounds in cash. If they are willing to contact me, there will be another 650 pounds to follow up."

Fors endured for a full second before answering:

"make a deal."

Sun Derrick waited for them to finish their conversation and asked sincerely:

"Mr. Lover, the Chief hopes to personally lead a team to explore the Giant King's Court in the near future. Do you have any suggestions?"

In his heart, he had almost determined that the 'outsider' that the Chief had encountered earlier was Mr. 'Lover'. After all, although Mr. 'World' was powerful, he was only Sequence 5 and obviously could not reach the God-Forsaken Land, let alone explore the Giant King's Court.

The reason why the Chief was eager to explore the Giant King's Court was precisely because of Mr. Lover's actions. Therefore, Sun Derrick was eager to get some advice from his Lover.

Yu Jin thought for a moment and said:

"If you want to explore the Giant King's Court, as long as you don't stray from the route, you shouldn't encounter too much danger along the way."

After a pause, Yu Jin suddenly asked:
"Is Silver City lacking the formula for the 'Giant' Path Sequence 3 or higher potion?"

"Yes."

Derrick the Sun nodded solemnly:
"The highest potion formula that the City of Silver has is only for a Sequence 4 Demon Hunter. Neither the Chief nor the elders of the six-member council can break through the limitations of a Demon Hunter."

"In order to explore the formulas for potions above Sequence 4, the former Chief built a mausoleum for himself. He moved into the mausoleum deep underground and made it his home. After that, he appeared less and less, until the door of the mausoleum could no longer be opened..."

The Sun's eyes were dim. A Sequence 4 demigod might be very powerful, but it was still not enough for the God-forsaken Land, which was fraught with dangers. This was one of the reasons why the Giant King's Court was located near the City of Silver, but they had never attempted to explore it for thousands of years.

The City of Silver had organized explorations into the Giant King's Court before, but each exploration ended in total defeat.

Such heavy sacrifices caused the City of Silver to gradually give up their exploration of the Giant King's Court, until they met the little boy named 'Jack' and realized that the Giant King's Court was most likely the key to leaving the God-Forsaken Land, and then they restarted their exploration of the Giant King's Court.

But even so, the Chief's actions have always been very restrained. He only carefully led the exploration team to clean up the afternoon town instead of rashly entering the Giant King's Court.

Because he knew very well that there were dangers hidden there that Sequence 4 could never handle!
Yu Jin flipped his palm, took out another ember from somewhere and pushed it towards the 'sun', and said slowly:
"You can tell your chief that I can provide him with the formula for a Sequence 3 or even Sequence 2 potion, as long as he crushes this ember. As for the price of crushing the ember, you can also tell him clearly."

'Sun' was a little stunned, but he soon realized the risks and opportunities involved.

After a long time, the 'Sun' silently held the remaining fire in the palm of his hand.

But soon, Yu Jin thought for a moment and pushed another ember over, adding:
"This one is for Lovia, you can also explain it to her."

"Okay." 'Sun' nodded silently.

The discussion continued, and this Tarot gathering gradually came to an end. Audrey and the others stood up and saluted respectfully at the same time, and then disappeared one after another in the gray fog.

Only 'The Fool' at the head, 'The World' at the end, and the ember sitting on the right were left.

Klein took off all his disguises and asked curiously:

"Why do you need them to crush the embers? What's the point?"

Yu Jin thought about it for a while and decided to explain it in plain language:

"If you have studied Ma Yuan, you should have heard a saying: The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts on the economic base."

Klein understood immediately, and with a hint of enlightenment in his eyes, he asked:
"The nine source substances like Sefirah Castle are the superstructure? And ordinary Beyonders are the economic foundation?"

"Correct."

Yu Jin did not deny it and said frankly:

"But there is one mistake. The source is indeed the superstructure, but ordinary extraordinary people are not the economic foundation. Extraordinary people above the level of demigod are."

"Why a demigod?"

Klein was confused at first, but he soon found the answer by asking himself - the biggest difference between demigods and ordinary Beyonders is that from Sequence 4 onwards Beyonders can be considered incomplete mythical creatures and possess divinity.

The higher the sequence, the higher the divinity, and the greater the risk of losing control.

For example, in Russell’s diary, he is almost crushed by his divinity and completely transformed into an indifferent mythical creature.

But fortunately, with the anchor of faith, Russell finally maintained his humanity.

Klein asked again:

"So you need to train them all to become demigods?"

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds and said:

"A demigod is not enough. The lowest one has to be an angel, and the best is a true god."

“This is not an easy task.”

Klein's eyes twitched. If everyone really wanted to become a true god, then couldn't his Tarot Club be renamed the True God Conference?
But according to Yu Jin, he should need at least one extraordinary person from each of the 22 paths.

Although the members of the Tarot Club have different paths, their number is relatively small.

Taking all of them together, the only paths included are fortune teller, apprentice, spectator, chanter, sailor, pharmacist, arbitrator and secret peeper.

Even if we count Groselle and the others, and remove the overlapping paths, there are only Mobet's "Thief" path and Groselle's "Warrior" path.

But beyond that, there are 12 more pathways.

If he wanted to find potential Beyonders from other paths in these 12 paths, Klein subconsciously thought of the people he knew—

Miss Sharon is the 'prisoner' path, the poet classmate is the 'sleepless' path, Miss Daly is the 'corpse collector' path, and the iceberg general is the 'reader' path.

But even if we add these few ways, there are still 8 ways to fill the gap.

Mystics, hunters, assassins, farmers, lawyers, criminals, generalists, and monsters.

Excluding Lovia's 'Secret Prayer' and 'Daniz''s Hunter, there are still six.

Among these six paths, Klein knew the extraordinary people from the 'Assassin', 'Criminal' and 'Monster' paths, but the extraordinary people from the first two paths he met were now dead, while the latter was the 'Mercury Snake' Will Auceptin.

As for the Beyonders from the Farmers, Lawyers, and Generalists paths, Klein had never seen one.

After thinking for a while, Klein said:

"I know a Beyonder from the Prisoner Path. I can ask her for you. She might be happy to accept the deal."

Miss Sharon is being hunted by the Rose School and might be interested in the Sequence 4 potion formula.

"can."

Yu Jin nodded and pushed a piece of ember towards Klein who was in the first seat. After a pause, he asked:

"You now have all the materials for the 'Trickster'. I suggest you take this opportunity to complete the promotion in one fell swoop."

Klein's expression slightly changed. He actually had a similar idea, to use the opportunity of hunting down the 'Secret Saint' to complete the ritual, but the problem was -

"Is this okay?"

Klein asked hesitantly.

He had no doubt that Embers could easily kill the Secret Saint, but the problem was that the ritual required him to murder a demigod or an equivalent supernatural being with his own strength and planning, which seemed to be extremely difficult.

Yu Jin said calmly:
"The ritual does not require the demigod's state. You just need to give him the final blow when the time comes."

"Is this possible?" Klein's expression was a little strange. It sounded a little outrageous. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed outrageous. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it - after all, the ritual does not require the status of a demigod.

In Klein's original plan, he had no intention of killing a demigod in his prime. If he wanted to complete the ritual, finding a seriously injured extraordinary creature was the best option.

Now, just replacing the extraordinary creatures with demigods, there is actually no difference.

Klein thought for a moment and slowly said:

"Having a demigod isn't enough, there needs to be a grand drama, and I need enough audiences."

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and said without hesitation:

"Then set off some fireworks and let everyone in Backlund become your audience."

“It doesn’t have to be that big…”

Klein's eyes twitched. Being too famous is not a good thing. Why don't we keep a low profile?
