Odis realized the most unique aspect of the "Secret Seeker" path: with enough knowledge, his strength far surpassed that of other paths, such as the newly promoted Sequence 6.
Knowledge is the standard by which those who excel through this path are judged, unlike the "fixed abilities" of other paths.
For example, no matter how powerful the "Faceless Man" is, all he can do is wear the clothes of the opposite sex and become a cross-dressing master.
The strength of the "Scroll Professors" can be clearly distinguished: the weak ones use the "Scroll" as all their abilities, while the strong ones use the "Scroll" as an introduction.
Odis possessed enough knowledge, therefore he was strong enough.
However, the shortcomings of the "Secret Seeker" approach still exist. It lacks the ability to kill with a single blow, and its defense is relatively weak.
Therefore, the consistent strategy remains unchanged: develop stealthily, launch more surprise attacks, and avoid direct confrontation.
The knowledge gained from the "wilderness of knowledge" was not difficult for Odis to understand, so for him, parchment was sufficient as the only material for writing the magic circle.
Then, Odis sensed something in his spirit and reached out to touch the "Central Simulator" in the room. He immediately discovered that he could use the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to deal with some tricky, divine-level contamination; he could also use it to shatter extraordinary properties.
The third ability is that one can easily utilize the levels of angels to perform some simple operations.
The first ability isn't very versatile, but the second ability is a way to make money!
According to the "law of aggregation of extraordinary properties", after being crushed, it will spontaneously form different levels of properties during the aggregation process.
Odis realized that he could simply take the extraordinary properties, crush them, and sell them.
For example, if one extraordinary trait of "Wizard" is shattered, it will create one trait each of "Wizard", "Fighting Scholar" and "Mysterious Seeker".
Moreover, sometimes, the resulting characteristics may be more than one.
For example, if the owner of a "Wizard" trait uses an extraordinary trait to advance to Wizard, it is equivalent to him consuming an additional potion of "Fighting Scholar" and "Secret Seeker".
When extraordinary traits are recombined, two "Fighting Scholar" traits and two "Secret Seeker" traits are obtained.
This suddenly reminded Odis of her conversation with Bernadette not long ago when they traded the "Conspirator" extraordinary trait.
At that moment, he suddenly realized why the "Mysterious Queen" was so quick to give him the money: Bernadette had a level 0 sealed artifact, which could also shatter extraordinary properties.
In other words, although Odis traded one "Conspirator" trait to Bernadette, Bernadette could sell at least four trait traits!
Odis recalled that last week he planned to sell a "briber" trait at the Tarot Club, so now was the time to use his ability to crush extraordinary traits.
He waved his hand, took the "briber" characteristic, and placed it in front of the "central simulator".
Odis touched the "Central Simulator" with his hand and felt a surge of power filling his palm. He carefully guided this power onto the "Briber" characteristic.
This property silently decomposed and quickly turned into powder.
Then, with its characteristic of shimmering light, it began to reassemble, although the reassembly process took about an hour.
Moreover, this hour cannot be replaced by simulated time; it must be a real-world hour.
Odis could certainly wait that long.
As for the third ability that Odis obtained in the "Wilderness of Knowledge," its uses are also very wide-ranging. For example, Odis can enhance the magic circles she has drawn or the scrolls she has made.
This method is also very simple, because Odis can already use the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to a certain extent in the outside world.
However, its function is very limited; it can only perform simple operations such as enhancement.
Of course, it can also be used to scare away sealed objects.
This made Odis think back carefully. He remembered that when Klein was at Sequence 6, he didn't seem to be able to use the power of the "Source Castle" in the real world.
But Odis immediately realized that each "source substance" was different, and there was no comparability between them.
Before Klein became an Extraordinary, "Source Castle" was able to provide a venue for "Tarot Meetings," while "Knowledge Wilderness" still does not have such an ability.
So Odis didn't think about this issue in detail.
Overall, the ability to shatter extraordinary characteristics is still the most useful.
Finally, Odis once again possessed a potion recipe through the "Diviner" pathway, but it still only had sequences 6 to 9.
That's understandable, since after a diviner reaches the level of a demigod, he needs to study a lot of ancient knowledge.
To some extent, at that time, it was a time when "the more you know, the more powerful you are."
Odis now possesses five relatively complete potion recipes: "The Seer," "The Know-It-All," "The Reader," "The Thief," and "The Diviner."
The reason it is described as "relatively" complete is that these five pathways only have recipes from sequence 6 to sequence 9. Higher-level recipes can only be obtained as Odis advances.
However, Odis was already quite satisfied, because many extraordinary organizations led by demigods might not have so many systematic recipes!
After reviewing all the abilities, Odis sat at the desk formed by the sphere of light and pondered two questions.
The first question is, since there are no "hard requirements" for making "scrolls", is it possible to make some scrolls that can be used multiple times?
For example, a "shield scroll" similar to a "mage's shield" could be generated. If we do some research, make some improvements, and then enhance it with "wilderness of knowledge", wouldn't it be possible to use it multiple times?
However, some aggressive scrolls cannot do this; those scrolls must release occult symbols in order to complete the process of "witchcraft".
Theoretically, the "Shield Scroll" can achieve the desired effect without being cast. It's like a mobile magic circle, and theoretically, it can be used multiple times as long as it's infused with spiritual energy.
Another problem is that after Odis completed his ascension, twelve different methods for making "scrolls" came to mind.
Among them are "paralysis scrolls" and "psychedelic scrolls," which, compared to scrolls like the "lightning scroll," are essentially detached from natural forces and lean more towards extraordinary powers.
After all, it would be a very complex process for natural forces to "numb" or "hypnotize" people.
It can be seen as the power of "plant toxins," but it is not a direct natural force like lightning or sunlight; it requires biological processing to achieve such an effect.
Odis observed the way the two scrolls were made and suddenly had a feeling of "drawing inferences from one instance to another".
He had been researching the "record officer" and "record" abilities of the "apprentice" pathway, but had not made any significant breakthroughs.
At this moment, the way the scrolls titled "Paralysis" and "Psychedelic" were written gave Odis a sense of having found a breakthrough.
Just as he had previously guessed, extraordinary abilities are also part of this world. Theoretically, they can be expressed using specific symbols and can invoke corresponding forces in nature to complete the performance of an extraordinary ability.
But Odis had not found this "way of expression" before, but now he had some good ideas.
However, Odis will have to study these two issues later.
He quickly returned to the real world, trying to calm himself down, as he had an "important meeting" to attend that afternoon.
After lunch, Odis's spirituality had completely subsided, and he went into the "wilderness of knowledge" to observe. The characteristics of the "briber" had been fully formed.
However, the "briber" probably used magic potions to complete the advancement, so there was no surprise and he received three extraordinary traits.
This is already quite good. It was originally worth 1,200 pounds, but now it's worth 2,100 pounds. Only a few professions, such as robbing banks or working in finance, are as lucrative as this kind of money-making method.
Back in the real world, Odis read the novel in a good mood for a while, then brought out his "briber" traits again, preparing to make a deal.
He also has several sequence 7 and sequence 8 characteristics, and even a sequence 6 "Judge" characteristic, all of which should be assigned to him to complete the crushing process as soon as possible.
At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Odis, who had been lying on the recliner, had his vision obscured by the gray mist. When he regained his vision, he was already sitting on one side of the mottled bronze table.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" "Justice" Audrey's greeting quickly got the other members into the zone.
As is customary, after greeting "The Fool," Audrey greets "The Hanged Man," "The Sun," "The Magician," and other members in the order they attended the Tarot meeting, and finally concludes with "The World."
Regardless of what everyone was doing before the meeting, the greeting process gave them a clear idea in their minds: the Tarot meeting has begun!
It's almost become a conditioned reflex.
Klein, the "Fool" sitting at the head of the table, glanced at each member and suddenly stopped at the "Hermit": This guy has been promoted again?
Klein quietly activated his spiritual vision, and indeed, Odis's spiritual interior was clearer and brighter, with many small points of light appearing.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The flickering light gave his spirit a slightly mysterious aura.
This is totally illogical!
Klein thought to himself: Back in October, "The Hermit" had just joined the Tarot Club and was only a Sequence 9 at that time. Now he's a Sequence 6! I felt like my promotion speed was very fast, but his promotion speed is even faster!
The greetings ended while Klein was still somewhat confused.
Emlyn "Moon," attending the party for the second time, immediately said, "'Justice' Miss, you..."
Audrey immediately made a "stop" gesture and smiled slightly, "We'll talk about it during the transaction."
"This is Mr. Fool's reading time."
However, judging from "Moon's" tone, it seems that he obtained at least one of the main materials traded last week.
She said cheerfully to the person at the head of the bronze table, "Respected 'Fool' sir, I have obtained three more pages of Russell's diary."
"This is what I promised before, as a token of my gratitude."
During the Great Smog Incident, Audrey received a message from "The Fool," which prompted her to report the conspiracy of the "Primal Witch's" descent to the Church, for which she received many benefits.
This made Audrey feel a little guilty, so during one of her prayers she mentioned that she hoped to pay "The Fool" by collecting ten pages of Russell's diary as a reward.
"The Magician" Fors also said, "'Fool,' I also have three new pages of Russell's diary."
"This is to thank you for freeing me from the 'Blood Moon Curse'."
During a previous gathering, "Justice" expressed her gratitude to Mr. "Fool" in her diary, which reminded her of this matter, and she also planned to submit some diaries without expecting any reward.
"The Fool" Klein smiled and nodded: "Very good."
These six pages of the diary didn't require him to answer any questions or make any equivalent transactions.
The diary quickly materialized, appearing in Klein's palm.
Two or three minutes later, Klein said, "You can begin."
The reason I read it so quickly was because these few pages of the diary were records of "what I invented today" and "what I plan to invent tomorrow".
Klein almost lost control of his expression as he read this, wanting to slap these diaries in Russell's face: Why wasn't there quotation marks around the word "invented"?
The only positive finding was that Russell collected some historical information about the Second Age.
So I finished watching it very quickly.
After the Fool's reading time ended, Audrey immediately looked at the Moon: "Mr. Moon, do you have any information about the 'Elder Tree Fruit' and the Mirror Dragon Blood?"
The former is the main ingredient of the "Psychotherapist" potion, while the latter is a more expensive auxiliary ingredient.
Emlyn nodded slightly: "750 pounds in total."
"Once you pay this money, they will belong to you."
"Of course, there's also my reward, £100."
Audrey didn't even bother to calculate the total price, and immediately replied happily, "Deal!"
"I hope to complete the transaction today!"
"No problem," Emlyn, who was about to earn 100 pounds, readily agreed.
Then he looked at the "Hermit" on the side: "'Hermit', we have a definite clue about the 'Crystal of the Tree of Alaman' that you wanted."
Odis smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't need it anymore."
Klein thought to himself: Of course, they've already been promoted, what more do they need?
Emlyn paused for a moment before replying, "Okay, it seems you have a wide network of connections."
Odis smiled but did not answer.
If we're talking about the recipe and extraordinary materials for "secret seekers," then "Morse's Penitentiary," "Steam Church," and "Elemental Dawn" are undoubtedly the three best sources.
At this point, Odis had one of these three channels.
The other members simply assumed that "The Hermit" had acquired the main ingredient for the potion through other channels, completely unaware that he had already advanced in rank. Otherwise, "The Hanged Man" Alger would have become reclusive again.
At this moment, Audrey suddenly said, "'The Hermit', I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Odis paused for a moment before replying, "Okay."
After Audrey asked Mr. Fool to establish a private conversation, she immediately said, "You are Lelouch, aren't you?"
