"The Apprentice pathway is controlled by the Abraham Family, and later flowed into the Tamara Family, with whom they had long-term intermarriages. In the Fourth Epoch, among the great nobles next to Tudor, the Abraham Family once ranked first."
Lex recalled the information about the Abraham Family and said unhurriedly, "The Abraham Family has long suffered from a Bloodline curse, and had to avoid danger by living in scattered residences."
"They split into small families scattered across various places, but they still have an Elder Council, though the Elder Council's control over Family members is very low."
"Due to the curse, no one in this Family can advance to a demigod, and a large number of Clan members, in order to avoid the curse, are unwilling to advance, always remaining at Sequence 8 or Sequence 9. Some are even unwilling to become Beyonder, preferring to live out their lives peacefully as ordinary people."
"To prevent this Family from completely dying out, they tried reforms; they began to cultivate non-Family members in the form of master-disciple Legacy."
Speaking of this, Lex glanced at Miss Magician intentionally or unintentionally: "So the Abrahams will take some non-Family members as students."
So that's how it is.
No wonder Mrs. Annelise died so lonely; it turns out that the Abraham Family had split into small families scattered across various places a long time ago, and even no longer contacted each other. Fors thought of the old lady who had set her on the path of a Beyonder, and a faint sadness welled up.
After a while, Fors took a deep breath: "Thank you, Mr. Chariot, you have resolved some of the doubts in my heart."
"After the gathering ends, I will transcribe a chapter of spiritual world anecdotes as soon as possible and offer it to Mr. Fool."
She then asked the figure shrouded in gray fog at the head of the bronze long table: "Mr. Fool, is this acceptable?"
"Yes." Klein naturally wouldn't stop such an opportunity to gain knowledge, and chuckled in agreement.
Fors cleared her throat and said: "I want to continue to purchase deep sea spear squid's blood. Does anyone have it?"
Hanged Man was slightly surprised. Magician only sought deep sea spear squid's blood this time, which meant she had already obtained a spirit eater's pouch. He wondered who provided it.
He nodded slightly: "There's a lead for deep sea spear squid's blood. I will follow up, and perhaps I can give it to you at the next gathering. You can prepare the pounds in advance."
Speaking of pounds, Fors felt a headache. She had already spent 400 pounds on the last purchase of a spirit eater's pouch, and she didn't have that much money on hand now.
At this moment, she heard The Chariot clear his throat and say: "Miss Magician, what I'm about to say might be a bit abrupt, but if you are in urgent need of money, I can advance it for you."
Last time, Magician had asked about ways to earn money. It seemed Fors's financial situation was not ideal, and coupled with the recent purchase of a spirit eater's pouch from him for 400 pounds, Lex judged that Miss Magician might need help.
"Of course, it's not free."
Lex said with a smile: "How about 200 pounds for a chapter of spiritual world anecdotes?"
It can be done like this?
Fors was visibly stunned. She was certainly willing; a single chapter could sell for 200 pounds. This was the first time she felt the 'weight' of knowledge!
She said reservedly: "Alright, Mr. Chariot, I will contact you if I need to."
She immediately thought that after The Chariot purchased the chapter, he would certainly not share it with others. This way, if other members also wanted to obtain this knowledge, they would need to purchase it from her.
200 pounds for a chapter, besides Sun who had no money, there were at least three potential customers here: Hanged Man, Justice, and Mr. World!
This was undoubtedly a way to make money.
Praise you, Mr. Chariot, you are truly a good person!
Lex smiled faintly at Magician and said: "Alright."
He clenched his fist, cleared his throat, and added: "Everyone, I wish to purchase a method to summon a messenger. I need an accurate ritual and safe incantations."
"If you know it, I am willing to pay 500 pounds for this knowledge."
Messenger?
What is that?
I haven't heard of it.
Fors was a bit confused, and at the same time felt that her knowledge in mysticism was truly too shallow.
In the thick fog at the head of the bronze long table, Mr. Fool changed his posture and thought: I do know about 'messengers', but the specific ritual and safe incantations, I am not clear about.
If it were before, I could consult with Miss Daly; she has her own messenger.
But now...
Right, I can write to Mr. Azik; perhaps he can provide this knowledge.
500 pounds, The Chariot is really rich.
Rich and willful!
Hanged Man Alger cleared his throat and said: "I can help you ask around, but I can't guarantee I'll find what you're looking for."
Klein also quickly manipulated Mr. World to take on this task.
Next, Alger also sought the Wind Blessed formula, but unfortunately, no one could provide it.
After the trading session ended, everyone began to share their spiritual world anecdotes. During this process, Mr. World incidentally sold the Sheriff beyonder characteristics. Miss Magician showed strong interest and asked Klein's alt account to temporarily reserve this characteristic.
Lex thus guessed that Fors had an Arbitrator among her friends. At this moment, he thought of a small lady with rough blonde hair, about 1.5 meters tall.
At the end of the gathering, Mr. Fool taught a portion of Roselle's secret symbols' meanings. This was valuable knowledge for others, but for Lex, it was completely useless.
Because it consisted of two parts: Chinese year, month, day, and numbers.
"Today's gathering ends here."
"As you wish."
As streaks of crimson Light dissipated, the ancient palace Above the Gray Fog returned to tranquility. Klein had not yet left, because next, he still needed to assist members in completing their transactions.
Sure enough, after a moment, he first received the Spirit Medium beyonder characteristics offered by The Chariot, then received 800 pounds paid by Hanged Man. Miss Magician's spiritual world anecdotes had not yet arrived. After completing the transactions for The Chariot and Hanged Man, he took out the 'All-Black Eye' and bestowed it upon the youth from Silver City.
"Being a platform is really not easy. I wish I had an assistant to help me receive and send goods."
"Hmm, I hope little Sun doesn't lose the 'All-Black Eye', otherwise Mr. World will have to heroically sacrifice himself."
While lamenting, Klein extended his spirituality, simulating a falling sensation. His figure suddenly disappeared Above the Gray fog.
