"Okay, that's 6 soli and 8 pence in total. Not even a pound? Klein, I knew you were poor, but I have to say your poverty still exceeds my imagination."
"You… How did my wallet…? When did you get it…?" Klein hurriedly felt his pockets and discovered that his wallet was indeed gone. Hearing Lin Ruo's teasing words, he retorted, "What's wrong with being poor…? I'm poor, but I'm happy!"
"Tsk, tsk… Don't say things like that, or the God of Poverty might always bless you!" Lin Ruo shook his head and handed the wallet back to Klein. As the latter lowered his head to organize it, he took half a step back and then slowly took out something else, shaking it, and said, "Whose pendulum did some little Seer lose?"
Klein, who had just closed his wallet, immediately looked at his cuff. Sure enough, he found that the pendulum that had been hanging there was gone.
"How did you do it? It was clearly just there…" This time, Klein was even more surprised than before because he was sure that the pendulum was still tied to his cuff when Lin Ruo took out his wallet.
Carefully recalling what had just happened, Klein said uncertainly, "Was it when you handed me the wallet?"
"You guessed right!" Lin Ruo nodded, playing with the pendulum in his hand while asking, "Why don't you guess what kind of Beyonder power I used?"
"Theft." Faced with such an obvious giveaway question, Klein immediately thought of the answer and curiously asked, "Did you use a Beyonder item from the Marauder pathway?"
"It is indeed a power of the Marauder…" Lin Ruo tossed the pendulum to Klein while saying, "I have a very special Beyonder item that can help me emulate the abilities of other sequences to a certain extent."
This was undoubtedly a lie, but the magical item Lin Ruo mentioned was likely to exist because there were indeed pathways that could simulate the abilities of other sequences, such as Vice Admiral Iceberg. If it was a Beyonder item from that pathway, it was possible to do this—of course, the effect would definitely not be as heaven-defying as 'Blasphemy'.
"There's such a Beyonder item?" Klein was somewhat astonished but didn't doubt Lin Ruo's words. After all, he couldn't imagine that Lin Ruo had supernatural abilities, so he simply said, "So you just used it to simulate the Beyonder ability of a Marauder and stole my wallet and pendulum…"
As he spoke, Klein realized something, his eyes widening slightly, and he said, "So, when you said you wanted to broaden my horizons, you meant using that Beyonder item to show me the Beyonder abilities of various pathways?"
"You guessed right, but not completely." Lin Ruo looked at Klein and suddenly smiled slightly. Then, his whole person shattered like a mirror.
Klein was stunned for a moment, and Lin Ruo's voice appeared behind him.
"I'm not just going to show them to you; I'm also going to let you personally experience the effects of these abilities within a bearable range… There's nothing better than this to make you deeply understand these abilities and remember them."
Klein was taken aback and immediately realized that the Lin Ruo in front of him was just an illusion. He was about to turn around, but his movements suddenly froze, and then his expression became dull, as if he had completely forgotten what he wanted to do.
Lin Ruo, who was behind him, turned around. He didn't care about this at all; he just continued after Klein's thoughts recovered, "Considering that you are from the Seer pathway, the focus of our experience today will be on the various abilities of the Marauder pathway."
"Theft, deception, creating illusions, mental interference, stealing abilities, stealing thoughts, and even stealing memories…" Listing the abilities of the Marauder under the high sequence one by one, Lin Ruo's smile was as warm as ever, saying:
"These Beyonder abilities are what you may face when you encounter enemies in the future, so you must not only experience their effects but also think about how to deal with a Seer if you really encounter one."
But I'm only Sequence 9… Klein recalled the feeling of not knowing what to do when his thoughts were stolen just now, and he felt a little apprehensive, but he didn't object.
He wasn't an idiot and naturally understood how precious it was to have the opportunity to see and experience the abilities of each sequence without any danger.
—Beyonder battles are often intelligence battles, so if you know enough about a Beyonder's abilities, then even if your own sequence is lower than theirs, you can still rely on your understanding of the other party to make arrangements in advance and then kill them.
Not only that, but if you encounter the corresponding Beyonder ability in the future, because you have experienced it in advance, you will be able to react immediately and know what is going on, save yourself, and even take precautions when you encounter the corresponding Beyonder.
This, in a sense, is like cheating.
However, Lin Ruo, who has such a Beyonder item, is also cheating… Such a magical effect, I'm afraid it's at least a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact… Klein suddenly felt a little envious.
He doesn't even have a Beyonder item yet!
Lin Ruo is indeed very rich.
"Of course, I'm very rich…" Lin Ruo, who already knew Klein very well, and now with the ability to judge the other party's thoughts from details more easily with the Seer pathway, directly saw through someone's thoughts. He smiled and suddenly said leisurely:
"How about this, Klein, let's make a deal. Today, after I show you all the Beyonder abilities under the high sequence of the Marauder pathway, I will only use the Marauder's abilities to steal your items."
"If you can successfully stop me from stealing at least once before the end of today's special training, I will cover all the material costs for your practice in the mystical field, such as practicing ritual magic and making talismans, within the next week, as a reward for your hard training. How about it?"
Klein's eyes lit up instantly.
Heaven knows how much heartache he felt every day when practicing various ritual magic after the reimbursement quota was used up.
His wallet had long been wailing!
However, although he was quite tempted, Klein hesitated for a moment and still suppressed his heartache, saying, "That's not good…"
"Your expression now is just like saying 'Auntie, you mustn't' when facing New Year's money, full of the flavor of wanting to refuse but also welcoming it." Lin Ruo "tsk tsk" commented, looking at Klein's face, which suddenly turned red with shame, and said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, it's not a waste of money. Some ordinary Beyonder materials are nothing to me… And are you so confident in yourself?"
"Let me say in advance, I won't go easy on you. If you want to get the reward, you have to rely on your own ability."
"I'll try my best…" Klein suppressed the embarrassment and shame that had just surged up and didn't say any more words of refusal.
After all, Lin Ruo had already said that, so it would be too affected to refuse again.
Lin Ruo also hooked the corner of his mouth when he saw this.
The reason why he was conducting such special training for Klein was not only for Klein but also for himself—Lin Ruo also intended to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the abilities of each pathway and each sequence.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be very embarrassing if he simulated an unfamiliar pathway in the future and couldn't even get used to using the abilities?
Moreover, collecting information is also very important.
