Chapter 428: The Strange Sealed Artifacts of the Mysterious Continent
Emperor Luo Saier, the "Savant" pathway!
Klein flipped it open and gazed at it intently!
What he saw was...
Sequence 9: Savant
Only the supernatural enhancement of memory, learning, and practical abilities; they believe knowledge is power, possess a rough understanding of mysticism, and are even more proficient in aqua regia, nitroglycerin, and complex gear mechanisms; they seem to know everything. Their core ability is awakening memories, allowing them to recall all knowledge they have ever seen, while also improving their comprehension and learning capabilities.
—
Sequence 8: Archaeologist
Possesses sufficient historical knowledge, wilderness survival skills, and taboo knowledge related to ruins; has a physique and abilities strong enough to face all this, yet this is not their specialized field, merely a side benefit; they can only barely apply some ritual magic.
—
Sequence 7: Appraiser
Can quickly identify mystical items; can intuitively grasp the abilities and flaws of most supernatural items and use them while avoiding danger as much as possible.
"Hmm, only up to Sequence 7..." Klein pondered.
His clearance was insufficient; the data pathways involved only went up to Sequence 7.
To be honest, his heart itched unbearably; he very much wanted to see what came after.
There was no help for it; he could only continue flipping through other professions!
For instance, the follow-ups to Sequence 9 "Corpse Collector" were: Sequence 8 "Gravekeeper" and Sequence 7 "Spirit Medium."
He learned that for the "Mystic," Sequence 8 was missing—not only lacking a name but also having a blank description—whereas the record for Sequence 7 did contain the potion's name: Sequence 7 "Wizard"!
Then, Klein began searching again for the "Apprentice" and "Burglar" pathways that Emperor Luo Saier had been so obsessed with!
Sequence 9 Apprentice: The abilities are quite strange; it can only be confirmed as the beginning of a mage school; they are rarely trapped, difficult to block, and always have a way to escape and pass through!
Sequence 8 Trick Master: Masters various strange but not powerful spells!
—
Sequence 9 Burglar: It is difficult to distinguish these Beyonders from ordinary bandits and thieves; perhaps their methods are more formidable, yet their purpose in stealing treasures is neither for enjoyment nor for survival, but rather seems like fulfilling a mission!
Sequence 8 Fraudster: Takes pleasure in deceiving others; additionally, they are agile and move quickly.
"This..."
Klein pondered.
Seeing this "fraud," he felt this was no longer about acting; it seemed more like being dominated by fraud itself!
However, he shook his head...
Soon, he saw the so-called "Instigator"!
Sequence 9: Assassin.
Can temporarily alter their body to gain feather-like lightness, while solidifying owl-like vision and dark vision; skilled in combat and dodging; every "Assassin" excels at hiding in shadows, possesses nimble footwork, and has the ability to explode all their power into a single strike.
—
Sequence 8: Instigator!
Excels at inducing the desires deep within everyone's heart, excels at intensifying contradictions, provoking conflicts, and creating bloody cases...
The description isn't detailed enough...
After pondering for a while, he finally saw the part concerning the so-called Instigator's involvement with the "Lingzhi Society"!
The Lingzhi Society was a secret organization that only appeared in the Fifth Epoch, which is the early period of the current epoch; they believed that spirit is the essence of humanity, while the flesh is merely a cage binding the spirit; that humans commit evil due to the influence of the flesh; that one must obtain knowledge through spirituality to gradually liberate the spirit from the flesh, then undergo layer upon layer of trials by the celestial bodies, finally departing the material world to return to the purest and most true self, attaining eternal salvation.
Therefore, many extreme members of the Lingzhi Society aimed to destroy the flesh of others, creating numerous cases steeped in blood; it was clearly visible that the sequence pathways they mastered were divided into two types: one being the 'Apprentice' and 'Trick Master' which were relatively common within their ranks, and the other being the rarely appearing Assassin and Instigator... for now, there was no evidence indicating the Lingzhi Society possessed potions of Sequence 7 or above.
How the Lingzhi Society was established remained unknown to all; one could only analyze their possible origins through these two sequence pathways.
First, 'Apprentice' and 'Trick Master' easily brought to mind the Abraham family of the Tudor Dynasty in the Fourth Epoch, not ruling out the possibility of the Tamara family, which had long intermarried with the Abraham family.
Second, 'Assassin' and 'Instigator' pointed to the Monujiao Sect.
Klein frowned deeply as he read!
There was too much fog.
He always felt that a great deal of information had been hidden.
