He took out a Sequence 9 Apprentice Trait and was about to throw it into the gold cup when Audrey arrived:

"You secretly hid the emperor's diary again!"

She puffed her cheeks, looking very angry.

Chapter 298 Food and Wine

"It's unfair!"

Edward picked up Lilith and said, "Lilith can testify! I got those diaries just before the Tarot Club started. And just like last time, the mysterious queen sent them to me and asked me to help translate them."

Lilith nodded and said, "Edward is right."

"You two are a good match, father and daughter, but you are just trying to fool me."

Audrey walked over to sit next to Edward and said, "Tell me what was in it that could have surprised Mr. Fool so much!"

"In fact, I was surprised too!"

Edward recalled and roughly repeated a few pages of the diary. Audrey interrupted from time to time to ask a few questions until the last entry "The senior time traveler is still alive!!!"

Audrey's eyes widened as well: "So... So there really is someone from your world in this world?"

"At least that's what the Emperor wrote in his diary."

"Do you think he's still alive?"

Edward shook his head. "I don't know. But just like what the emperor's diary said last time, if such a person really existed, why is there no trace of him in this world except for his diary?"

Audrey thought for a moment. "Either this person is very low-key and doesn't want to be in the limelight like the emperor; or... he came to this world a long time ago. Maybe he left traces, but they disappeared with the passage of time."

Edward also agreed with her statement.

Except for people like the Emperor who thinks he is the hero and strives to change the world, after several centuries, there is almost no trace of people like the Goddess of Night and the Ancient Sun God.

In fact, Klein also belongs to the latter.

Years from now, the only things left in this world will be the legends of the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool, rather than a "time traveler" named Zhou Mingrui.

As for Edward himself, he should be somewhere in between. If he traveled to an unknown and backward world, he would definitely use modern knowledge to change something, but he would not be as ostentatious as the emperor.

But then again, the reason why Huang Tao is so flamboyant...his personality may be only one aspect, and more likely it is because of his later promotion to the Black Emperor!

Audrey then turned her gaze towards the gold cup, "Huh? Are you testing the ability of the Hufflepuff gold cup?"

"right."

Edward explained the two abilities of the Golden Cup, and Audrey immediately became interested: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

She put on her gloves, took the Beyonder Characteristics, and carefully dropped it into the golden cup:

The extraordinary characteristics melted in an instant, and a few seconds later a thin layer of transparent liquid appeared at the bottom of the golden cup, accompanied by a faint aroma of wine.

"Is it really wine?"

Edward carefully poured the clear liquid into the glass, then used Magnify + Apparition to move it back and forth quickly multiple times until about one-third of his spiritual power was consumed.

He pulled out the divination crystal: "The liquid in front of me is harmful if you drink it."

After silently reciting it seven times, the green crystal slowly began to rotate counterclockwise, which meant that it was not only harmless but also beneficial.

Edward frowned slightly, whispered a divination sentence again, and then closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

Audrey asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I was thinking, since this fine wine is transformed from Beyonder characteristics, then is drinking the fine wine equivalent to consuming Beyonder characteristics?"

Edward thought for a moment and said, "According to divination, the only thing left of the converted wine is spirituality. But the question is, where did the original extraordinary properties go? Did they disappear out of thin air? This obviously does not conform to the law of conservation of extraordinary properties."

"Yes,"

Audrey suddenly realized, and then asked curiously, "But we brought extraordinary materials and extraordinary characteristics to Hogwarts before. Didn't we break this law?"

He nodded. "So I just divined where the Beyonder characteristics I put into the golden cup went, but unfortunately there was no result..." He paused. "If bringing something to another world caused problems with the laws of Beyonder characteristics, it would be understandable, but the golden cup... is just an Beyonder item, how did it break the laws?"

The two stared at each other, and analyzed the various situations, but in the end there was no reliable answer.

Audrey worriedly said, "Since there might be a problem with the golden cup, then can the fine wine produced by it still be drunk?"

Edward looked down at the glass of wine emitting an alluring aroma. "At least the divination result shows that there is no problem with it. Besides, it was made with the Beyonder characteristics of the apprentice anyway. Even if there is a problem, it is just a little more of the Beyonder characteristics of the apprentice. The impact will not be significant."

He raised the glass to his lips:

"I drank it."

Edward drank the "wine" in one gulp. His first feeling was "delicious" - no! Not just delicious, but wonderful. It was an enjoyment he had never experienced before!

Compared to the fine wine in the Golden Cup, anything he had drunk before was worse than horse urine - he immediately understood the negative effects of the Golden Cup.

The next second, he felt his spiritual power recover a lot. After a rough estimate, it should be equivalent to half of his spiritual power at Sequence 9.

Audrey asked hurriedly, "How is it?"

"Indeed, only pure spirituality remains."

Edward carefully felt the changes in his body and performed divination once again to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his body and that he did not have an additional apprentice extraordinary characteristic.

"I will try the Sequence 8 Beyonder Characteristics again."

He threw the magician's extraordinary characteristics into the golden cup again, then poured out the wine and drank it again:

It was still as delicious as ever, and this time it restored half of the spiritual power at Sequence 8.

"call--"

Edward exhaled a breath of alcohol and said, "If the rules remain unchanged, if I drink the wine transformed from Sequence 6 Beyonder characteristics now, I will be able to recover half of my current spiritual power."

Audrey shook her head: "Probably not."

"Why?"

"You forgot that your sequence changed when you were promoted to Sequence 7. From that time on, your spirituality was higher than that of people in the same sequence."

"Yes... that should be one third."

Edward thought for a moment. "That means if I drink three servings of Sequence 6 'fine wine', I can recover my spirituality from being exhausted. The same goes for Sequence 5, Sequence 4, or even higher?"

Tsk, this is really a money-burning ability.

Audrey suddenly thought: "Wait, since you are drinking wine, is it possible that you will get drunk?"

"Ah? I haven't really thought about this question."

Think about it, if you take out a glass of good wine and drink it during a battle, your spirituality will be restored, but you will be drunk... This is a bit outrageous.

He scratched his head. "At the moment, it seems like I have almost no feeling for one Sequence 9 plus one Sequence 8."

"Would you like another copy of Sequence 7? And... Sequence 6."

Edward smiled bitterly: "Isn't this experiment too expensive?"

Audrey was a little worried and a little conflicted: "But if we don't confirm it in advance, what if you lose control and get drunk when you are in danger?"

"…You are right."

He could only shake his head, throw the astrologer's extraordinary characteristics into the golden cup, pour it out and drink it all.

After a few seconds, Edward clicked his tongue and said, "I feel a little bit, but not drunk yet."

Seeing that she was about to speak again, Edward said hurriedly, "There's no need for Sequence 6. I've roughly figured out how it works."

"What?"

"Whether it's Sequence 9, Sequence 8, or Sequence 7 Beyonder characteristics, the amount of wine they turn into is the same. The taste and alcohol content do not change when you drink it. This is most likely applicable to higher sequences."

"This means that if you want to use the low-sequence Beyonder characteristics to gradually recover your spirituality, you will have to drink more fine wine. If you drink too much, you will naturally get drunk easily."

"On the contrary, if it is a high-sequence Beyonder characteristic, one glass of wine can restore a large amount of spirituality, so it is naturally not easy to get drunk." Edward shrugged and said, "Even if there is no problem of getting drunk, it may not be difficult to take a sip of wine during actual combat, but drinking a whole bottle of wine in succession will waste a lot of time. During this time, the enemy may have killed me."

Audrey suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

"In short... this thing is very expensive! Super expensive! And basically, it's not very useful when you reach Demigod level... After all, where can I find Beyonder characteristics above Sequence 4 to make fine wine? Even if I do have them... I can't bear to give them away, okay?"

"But then again, after becoming a demigod, I don't seem to have to worry about not having enough spiritual power anymore."

At least in the original novel, there didn't seem to be a problem of insufficient spirituality in demigod-level battles.

"By then, I can sell it to Mr. Sun. I believe Silver City should be able to use it."

"Oh yeah, there are also [delicious food]."

The two put some more bread in and injected spirituality into it. The bread then expanded rapidly to more than ten times its original size. It still looked like bread, but it tasted like a delicacy - even a lady like Audrey, who was used to eating delicious food, couldn't help but eat more.

"Well, this stuff can keep you full for a long time. If you eat more, you won't be able to eat anything in the next few days."

Edward hurriedly stopped her.

She stuck out her tongue and retracted her hand, "But it's really delicious."

"This [delicacy] is essentially spirituality converted into food. I don't know if it complies with the 'law of conservation of energy'."

After saying that, he couldn't help laughing. It was an extraordinary world, but the law of conservation of energy still existed... His idea was a bit funny.

Audrey then asked, "By the way, Edward, how are you going to help Miss Death?"

Edward put away the golden cup and said, "Faced with those three old conspirators who have lived for thousands of years, I think with my intelligence, I should just give up on trying to be cunning and just ask them directly."

"Ah? But will they tell you?"

"have no idea."

He shrugged, "Let's try it first."

If the Medici Trinity was really tricked into this by the Russian priest, Edward believed that it would be difficult for Medici to escape from his arrangement before the priest achieved his goal.

Medici must have been well aware of this, but he still insisted on making trouble. Either what he did was part of the priest's arrangement, or he thought that what he did could help him break free from the arrangement.

Judging from the original work, Edward feels like the latter.

Because in the original work, Medici really served as a symbol of war in Adam's "story". His arrival in Backlund as the "Red of War" symbolized the rise of war, and thus kicked off the prelude to the war.

Therefore, Medici Trinity only needed to stay in Backlund as a mascot, but Priscilla said that sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that she had left Backlund.
