  Chapter 6 Executioner Team (II)

  The third team member sat with Josie. He was not very old and looked about the same age as Josie. No wonder Josie and him were the only ones who were discussing something in the lounge.

  "Hello, my name is Joseph Dia. I am currently a Sequence 9 reader. The Sequence 8 potion I applied for has not been approved yet, but I can be promoted at any time as long as the potion is approved. I am the last new member of the team." The young man sitting next to Josie took the initiative to stand up and approach after seeing Renekton's gaze shift to this side. He introduced himself with a smile and a gentle tone.

  Joseph looked like a Renburger. He had brown curly hair that was well-groomed. Because his hair was naturally curly, he was not as meticulous as the captain, but looked more natural. He had a wide forehead, a high nose bridge, deep blue eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and skin that was close to wheat color but slightly whiter. He wore a pair of brass-colored steampunk-style glasses on his head. He was about the same height as Josie, about 1.8 meters, but his figure was taller than Josie's.

  Joseph's temperament was more mature than Josie's. His ordinary brown trench coat made him look like a fashion model, but his bookish aura was also obvious. Renekton looked at him as if he was facing a young professor in a university. He was approachable and easy-going, but also had prestige.

  Renekton's eyes stayed on him. While analyzing his movements and demeanor, he smiled and responded, "Hello, just call me Renekton. Now you have been promoted from a new member of the team to a team veteran."

  Renekton's answer made the smile on his face more sincere. At the same time, Renekton also made a judgment about Joseph in his heart. He should be a person with a strong desire to win. His previous words over-emphasized that he could be promoted to Sequence Eight at any time.

  The other party said that he was the previous newcomer and should have just joined the team not long ago. At the same time, it brought the two closer together and also reduced the gap between Renekton as a newcomer and everyone else.

  In general, the other party is a good person. Although some young people have a strong desire to win, it is harmless. As a member of the same team, Renekton still has a good impression of him.

  After getting to know Joseph, Renekton turned his eyes to the last team member sitting in the corner of the lounge. The other party was holding an open book in his hand. Before Renekton and the captain came in, he was obviously concentrating on reading. Renekton saw that the other party's eyes were always on him, so he took the initiative to walk over.

  Seeing Renekton approaching, the other party also stood up, with a gentle smile on his face. The other party's hair, which was meticulously managed like the captain, was a little pale, but the skin on his face had no wrinkles, but looked very smooth. Obviously, the other party was well maintained. The hairline was a little high, and the eyebrows were drooping, which made the forehead look wider, the nose bridge was straight, and the skin was very white.

  It was not until the other person stood up that Renekton realized that he was almost as tall as the captain. He was tall and straight, but a little thin. However, it was not difficult to see that he must have been as strong as the captain when he was young. He wore a standard brown trench coat on the back of a chair beside him, and wore dark knitted wool with a collar. A gold pocket watch hung on his chest. His lower body was brown trousers and black leather shoes, which were polished to a shine. He held a closed leather-covered book in one hand and adjusted the monocle on his left eye with the other hand.

  The action of adjusting the monocle made Renekton's eyelids jump, and a name "Amon" suddenly popped up in his mind.

  "Oh my god! Not that! Not that! The other person's monocle is on his left eye, and the style is different. Besides, this is the executor team inside the Church of Knowledge. Amon should not be so stupid as to sneak in here." Renekton kept comforting himself in his heart.

  "Hmm? Are you so surprised to see me? Do I remind you of an elder you don't want to face?" Renekton's subconscious reaction just now did not escape the eyes of this extraordinary person, and the other party said with a slightly surprised tone.

  "The professor who assigned me the homework!" Renekton said half-truthfully. Although this was not the reason for his frightened reaction just now, the other party was indeed very similar to the tutor who urged him to write his graduation thesis in college.

  "Your reaction is exactly the same as Josie's back then. No, it seems that you both have a teacher who left a deep impression on you." The other party chuckled and passed the topic.

  "It's really profound! At that time, I had nightmares every day!" Josie also followed Renekton.

  "Yeah! That's right!" Recalling his former tutor in college, Renekton nodded in agreement.

  "Then it seems that you are very unlucky, because I will be your next professor for a long time to come." The other party said in a half-serious and half-joking tone.

  "Since you have joined our team, it is obvious that His Excellency the Bishop has confirmed that there is no problem with you. However, as for the weak foundation caused by your skipping the ninth sequence and the lack of mastery of your own extraordinary abilities! His Excellency the Bishop must have asked the captain to deal with it, and the captain must have asked me to deal with it, so you should follow me to learn knowledge for a long time in the future. The key to learning is mastery, so I will inspect you every once in a while!" The other party's tone changed from gentle to serious, and it was obvious that he had completely taken on the identity of a professor.

  "Uh..." Renekton's eyes widened and he didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he had to turn his head to look at Captain Ikonton who was watching this scene silently behind him.

  "Haha! That's right, I do plan to hand this matter over to Mr. Kos. As the captain of the team, I don't have enough time to arrange and inspect your learning tasks and progress." Captain Ikonton nodded and agreed with Mr. Kos's words.

  Renekton turned his head expressionlessly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "I have a hunch that my future life will not be too wonderful!"     "My name is Kos Qias, a Sequence 7 Keeper. You can call me Mr. Kos like they do. Of course, you can also call me Teacher Kos." Renekton's expression seemed to please Mr. Kos, and Mr. Kos's tone became lively.

  "Okay, Teacher Kos." Renekton quickly adjusted his mood.

  "Mr. Kos, please arrange the books that Renekton needs first, and then start teaching him some common sense of mysticism tomorrow. I will take him to identify the remains of the member of the Moss Ascetic Order first, hoping to get some additional information. The people of the Moss Ascetic Order are very good at interfering with psychics and divination. We didn't get much information before." Captain Ikonton said.

  Then he nodded to Renekton who was looking at him: "Follow me!"

  "Okay!" Renekton nodded and followed Captain Ikonton uneasily.

  When the captain mentioned that his predecessor was lured to eat the extraordinary characteristics, Renekton had many questions, but he was afraid that he would be exposed as not the former Renekton, so he had been restraining himself from asking questions in this regard.

  But he didn't expect the captain to mention the other party's remains just now. Renekton felt relieved when he thought that the other party was dead, but he felt that if he did so, he would not be able to know what happened before, why the original body wanted to eat the extraordinary characteristics, and what happened afterwards.

  "Are you worried?" Captain Ikonton asked again after walking out of the lounge.

  "Huh? What are you worried about?" Renekton didn't react to what the captain was saying.

  "The member of the Moss Ascetic Order has been killed by us, but his soul has been affected to a certain extent. The result of our spiritual communication is very poor, so I want you to see if you can recall any information he mentioned inadvertently." Captain Ikonton said as he walked.

  "In fact, the best option for this matter is to let Jessica hypnotize and guide you to recall the relevant memories, but your current state is not very good. Rash hypnosis and psychological guidance may have additional effects on you, so we can only try to let you recall it yourself." The captain explained the reason for doing so.

  At the end, he added: "You don't have to worry too much. We basically know all the information you should know. You are just a victim and don't know any useful information. We just hope that the members of the Moss Ascetic Order have inadvertently mentioned some important content in front of you. Most of these cult members have mental problems, and the probability of this happening is still quite high."

  "Uh, I see." Renekton nodded slightly.

  Then he said, "Captain, how did you investigate this matter? I don't think I've left the house since I got the Beyonder trait, and I haven't found anyone coming to my house?"

  Captain Ikonton turned his head and looked at Renekton before saying, "This is a mysterious and unpredictable world of the Beyonder. We don't necessarily need to do a little bit to investigate an ordinary person."

  "Ah?" Renekton was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. The Sequence 4 of the Reader's Path is called the Prophet. The Beyonders at this stage have begun to master the higher-level mystical knowledge of the Destiny Domain, thus gaining the ability to "predict."

  "What did you think of?" Captain Ikonton saw that Renekton had an expression of sudden enlightenment so quickly, which was different from what he had expected before. There was no process from confusion to shock and then curiously asking him questions.

  "Is it the so-called prophecy?" Renekton, who already knew the answer, asked curiously.

  "You reacted quickly. It seems that you are not completely ignorant of the mysterious world. That's right. If you don't understand it at all, it would be difficult to induce the people of the Moss Ascetic Order." Captain Ikonton was a little surprised that Renekton thought of the prophecy so quickly, but then he made up a reasonable explanation in his mind.

  "Hmm." Renekton tried hard to restrain his desire to complain, and only sighed in his heart: "Are people in the reader channel so talkative and fond of imagination? Suddenly I feel that my future is worrying!"  Chapter 7 Accessories

  Renekton followed the captain and took many detours to the basement of a building behind the library.

  "This building is where we usually work. To the outside, it is a newspaper office and a writers' association building. Don't be too surprised. The staff inside are all from the church. The main one is the Clock Tower Academic Journal." Captain Ikonton said as he walked.

  "Many people in the church need to publish academic papers or articles, so the church simply founded a newspaper office. Newspapers and books here are circulated in both the north and south continents and the sea. Of course, the most popular areas are still Lunburg, Ma Xi, Feynaport and other places. If you have this need, you can also try it. The review standards of the church's internal staff are lower." Captain Ikonton saw that Renekton was very curious and explained more.

  "Newspaper office? Writers' Association?" Renekton repeated the two words in a low voice.

  "This may be related to the promotion ceremony of a certain sequence later." Renekton made a guess in his heart.

  "Don't be too surprised. Our church is different from the other six true God churches. Our Knowledge Church is actually more like a large college formed by a group of people who love academics and knowledge." Captain Ikonton explained briefly.

  Renekton inexplicably felt that the other party's description was quite appropriate. Apart from the Knowledge Church, there was no other church that spent all day reading books, studying and publishing papers. Ordinary universities did not have this learning atmosphere.

  "We're here!" Captain Ikonton stopped in front of a stone door painted with strange symbols.

  "Captain? Where is this? The morgue?" Renekton asked uncertainly. Renekton still remembered that his captain had said before that the member of the Moss Ascetic Order was already a corpse.

  "Morgue? Why do you think so? This is not a hospital, where is the morgue! This is the evidence room. If we didn't think that you might get extra benefits by coming to see it, we would have disposed of the body long ago. After all, the body has been damaged to a point where it is unrecognizable." Captain Ikonton said.

  Captain Ikonton walked over and stretched out his hand to push open the door, explaining at the same time: "The runes painted on this door are mainly to isolate the outside world from prying eyes, identify the person who opened the door, and protect the environment inside."

  "Well, these runes, I can't understand them at all." Hearing the captain's words, Renekton stared at the stone door curiously for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that he couldn't understand these symbols at all.

  "Haha! This is normal. You haven't learned this knowledge. This rune is a variant of the dragon language. The dragon language itself has power. The church has made certain modifications to the language of this ancient race and formed a unique rune system." Captain Ikonton explained with a smile.

  "Dragon? Are there really such creatures as dragons? What do they look like? Are they the same as those described in novels and picture books?" Renekton asked with some curiosity.

  Although he knew that there were dragons in this world, Renekton had never seen one. Whether as Renekton or as Luo Yang, they were very curious about creatures like dragons.

  "Maybe it's similar? Even rumors based on hearsay have certain basis and prototypes. However, dragons have long disappeared from people's sight. I have never seen one. However, it is said that there are dragons in the church, but they should be in the church headquarters in Lenburg." Obviously, Ikonton didn't know much about dragons.

  "The church actually has dragons!" Renekton's voice rose a little involuntarily.

  Although he was a little shocked that there were dragons in the Church of Knowledge, it was reasonable to think that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was a dragon himself, and in ancient times he was a subordinate god under the Dragon of Imagination Angerwede.

  While Renekton was still shocked that there were dragons in the church, Captain Ikonton had already walked to the long table on the side. On the long table was a black cloak. There were some odds and ends in the cloak, which made the cloak uneven.

  "Are you ready?" Captain Ikonton asked.

  "Ah? Alright." Renekton was a little confused.

  "Huh~" Ikonton lifted up his black cloak, revealing some burnt black pieces of meat. The dark red blood on the surface of the pieces of meat had already coagulated. The pieces of meat were of different sizes, but none of them were too big, and it was difficult to tell which part of the body they were.

  "Ugh!" Renekton felt a little nauseous, especially as his mind was involuntarily recollecting the original appearance of these pieces of meat. Renekton, who was not afraid of these things, was made a little nauseous by himself.

  Renekton quickly looked away, and it took a long time before those disgusting images stopped appearing in his mind.

  "Are you scared?" Captain Ikonton walked up to Renekton and pressed Renekton's shoulder. Renekton felt that the psychological discomfort had been reduced a lot.

  "Not afraid." Renekton shook his head and said, "But the images of restoring and piecing together these pieces of meat that subconsciously emerge in my mind are a bit disgusting."

  "This is your instinct as a Sequence Eight reasoning student. You must learn to restrain and adapt. You can't react like this every time you encounter such a thing. It's okay at normal times, but if it is in battle, this is a very fatal problem." Captain Ikonton explained.     "Well, I see." Renekton calmed down and moved his eyes over again. With the experience from the last time, Renekton tried to control himself not to think too much. This time, he did not let the scene of restoring and piecing together these pieces of meat appear in his mind again.

  "Well, this is a good thing. It shows that you have a good grasp of the Beyonder characteristics. If it weren't for your special situation, I even think that you will be able to apply for promotion to the Sequence 7 Keeper in a short time." Captain Ikonton commented on Renekton's state again.

  "But Captain, this state can no longer be considered a corpse, right? There are only these few pieces of meat left, and they are charred. In this state, it is difficult to even identify what kind of creature it is!" Although he temporarily overcame the problem of his brain always automatically filling in the blanks, Renekton was powerless in the face of this pile of meat. He was just an unstable Sequence 8.

  "There is no way. This is a Sequence 6 scroll professor. If it weren't for his wrong state, it would be difficult for us to deal with him. It would be impossible for him to keep a complete corpse during the battle." Ikonton explained.

  "Captain, what is the path that the Sequence Six Scroll teaches? Is it very powerful?" Renekton fully demonstrated his curiosity about this knowledge, so that he could give a reasonable source for the knowledge he knew when needed in the future.

  "This belongs to the path of the Secret Peer. The Extraordinaries of this path will be affected by the evil god Hidden Sage, so the Extraordinaries of this path are very easy to lose control. This path is mainly controlled by the evil cult organization Moss Ascetic Order and the Elemental Dawn led by the mysterious queen, one of the four kings of the sea." Captain Ikonton first roughly talked about the Secret Peer Path.

  "Both the former and the latter are organizations that are not recognized by the Orthodox Church. Once you encounter them, you must be extra careful. You have already met a member of the Moss Ascetic Order. I think you should have a deep understanding of this." Ikonton reminded Renekton again to be careful to guard against the Extraordinaries of this path.

  "Yeah!" Renekton nodded carefully in response.

  Although there are not many appearances about the Moss Ascetic Order in the original work, and most of them are about some descriptions of Admiral Cattleya of the Star, it is only known that this is an organization that believes in the evil god Hidden Sage.

  But Renekton, who accepted the original memories and learned some information from the Church of Knowledge, had a deep understanding of why the Moss Ascetic Order was defined as a cult organization. Although the Moss Ascetic Order did not create terrorist incidents everywhere like the Aurora Order, it was not much better.

  "Does this Moss Ascetic Order have any relics, Captain?" Renekton thought that the captain could not have asked him here just to take a look at the meat that could not be identified, and there should be other things, so he asked.

  Ikonton smiled a little and replied, "Well, this is also the reason why I asked you to come here. This Moss Ascetic Order member does have a few relics. What you need to see is an ornament. The prophecy made by the seal before is that you will get some additional information by touching it, which is why I asked you to come here."

  "Seal?" Renekton was a little curious about this seal that could predict. Being able to predict, this at least corresponds to the sequence four of the reader's path, or the sequence three of the secret peeper's path.

  "Well, when extraordinary properties come into contact with and merge with some items, or when extraordinary people die, they will form items with extraordinary abilities. Such items generally have serious negative effects. We call such items Sealed Objects and classify them according to the level of danger. The level of the sealed object with prophetic power is very high, and it is not something you can understand at present. You can go to see the relevant information when your authority is higher." Ikonton explained the situation of the sealed object in detail.

  "I see." Rekton nodded in response.

  "Okay, come over here and take a look. The strange ornament is here." Captain Ikonton reached out and covered the black cloak on the body of the member of the Moss Ascetic Order who had turned into pieces.

  He walked to the shelf next to him and picked up a package on the shelf. He picked out a strange-shaped ornament from it.

  The whole body of this ornament was bright copper, the size of a baby's palm, and the overall style was like a ring full of gears formed by many lines intertwined and surrounded. In the middle of the ring was a vertical eye without eyelashes, and the ornament was connected to a thin silver chain.

  "This? What is it?" Renekton frowned slightly. He searched his memory but could not find anything related to this pattern. He did not even have any impression of it.

  "We don't know either. You can take it and have a look. We have checked it. There is no mysterious element left on this ornament. You can rest assured. It does not point to any known ritual or mysterious existence. It is not dangerous." Ikonton reached out and handed the bright copper ornament to Renekton.

  Renekton took it and looked at it carefully several times to confirm that he did not have any impression of this thing. Neither Renekton nor Luo Yang had ever seen anything related to it in their memories.

  Shaking his head, Renekton handed the ornament back.

  Captain Ikonton did not take it but said, "You keep it for now. Since the prophecy says that you can get some information from it, it should be correct. Maybe the timing is wrong. Although we have confirmed that this thing has no harm, you still need to be careful and pay attention to whether there are any unexpected factors in your life."

  "You have wasted a lot of time today. You can go home first. Starting tomorrow, you will need to report here every day. You don't have any tasks during this period. Just follow Mr. Koss and study hard to make up for the missed accumulation of the reader stage as soon as possible." Captain Ikonton nodded slightly to indicate that Rekton could leave. Chapter 8 Visualization

  After the farewell meeting with the captain, Renekton walked out of the building disguised as a newspaper and writers' association, only to find that it was already dark outside, so he went straight back home. When Renekton returned, the butler and two servants had already purchased the supplies and returned.

  The butler was directing two servants in the hall to classify various items and then put them away. The butler was a thin old man in his fifties, with gray hair and many wrinkles on his face.

  In Renekton's memory, the butler was a local from Madan, named Sean Porter, but his family had long passed away, and he only had one son, but he did not have a good relationship with the butler.

  Although he was old, the butler was always in good spirits. It is said that the butler was an adventurer when he was young, but he suffered a Waterloo at the beginning of his adventure, and his leg was injured. Because he missed the best time for treatment, he could only limp after his injury healed, and the butler's dream of adventure was interrupted.

  Later, due to his physical defects, Mr. Butler's life was not good. It was difficult for a disabled person to find a good job in this city.

  Later, because Rekton's father and his wife were away from home all year round, they needed someone to take care of the young Rekton. Mr. Butler, who knew his father and had a good reputation before his injury, became the first choice.

  So Rekton's father asked Mr. Sean to be the housekeeper at home, mainly to take care of Rekton.

  The other two servants were found by Mr. Butler, and they have been replaced over the years. The current two servants are a man and a woman. The man is called Radish, 30 years old this year, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, ordinary facial features, a thin figure, bronze complexion, thick calluses on his hands, and simple clothes. It can be seen that he often did hard labor outdoors before.

  The woman's name is Sally, 35 years old this year, a little fat, and always with a smile on her lips. Perhaps it is the influence of motherhood, Sally always takes good care of Rekton who is alone at home. Likes to listen to Rekton telling about his experiences in school. When Rekton is sad, he is always the first to notice and comfort him.

  Although he is also dressed simply, he is obviously much better than Lot, and his clothes are also very clean. He has his own family and children. He is mainly responsible for washing and cooking at Rekton's house on time every day to earn some money to supplement the family expenses. Sally and Lot are both locals of Madan. They have been working at Rekton's house for two or three years.

  Seeing Rekton enter the house, the butler walked straight over and said, "Master, during the time you were away from home, the newspaper sent a telegram from the gentleman, which has been placed on the desk in your room."

  "Well, he has something else that delayed him from coming back this month, right?" Rekton asked casually.

  In Rekton's memory, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, and Rekton has long been accustomed to it.

  "Yes, it seems that they encountered pirates in the Desi Bay, but fortunately, the gentleman and his family were not injured." The butler explained for Rekton's father.

  Renekton frowned slightly. "Given the strong navy in the Disi Bay, how could there be pirates who would go there to seek death? Did my father encounter pirates on the way to the Rorsted Islands?"

  "The gentleman's telegram didn't say that. I think it should be like this. The last telegram sent by the gentleman said that he planned to go to the Rorsted Islands to expand the trading market." The butler thought about it and felt that what Renekton said made sense. He answered based on the telegram sent by Renekton's father last time.

  "Well, let's talk about it when my father comes back. There is no point in worrying here. By the way, Uncle Sean, I have joined the Church of Knowledge. I will go to the church to study during the day. Tell Aunt Sally that you don't have to prepare my lunch at noon." Renekton replied to the butler according to his previous habit.

  At the end, he added that he had joined the Church of Knowledge and would need to go to the church to study for a long time. After all, there was no need to hide this matter, and he couldn't hide the fact that he went to the church every day.

  "The Church of Knowledge? Okay, young master, as a scholar? I think your mother will be very happy about this. Although the lady didn't say it explicitly, it can be seen that she still hopes that you can become a scholar like her. Do we need to send a telegram to tell the gentleman and the lady about this?" The butler was happier than Renekton himself about Renekton joining the Church of Knowledge.

  "No, wait until they come back, so that they will realize how long they have been away." Renekton thought for a while and replied.

  "Okay, the gentleman and the lady may think that a stable life is more beneficial to you, a young child!" After the butler replied, he defended Renekton's parents.

  "Yeah." Renekton nodded, without denying the words of the butler.

  "Young master, I took Sally and Carrot to buy some supplies for this winter today. Judging from the current weather, it will be winter in half a month." Seeing that Renekton was about to return to his room, the butler told him everything that needed to be reported today.

  "I was looking for the study just now and saw your glasses dropped on the ground. They were broken." Then he took out another pair of broken glasses and handed them to Renekton.     "Well, I see. Take that pair of glasses to the store these days to see if they can be repaired. I quite like that pair of glasses. Don't worry. Prepare the winter supplies first. I'll buy a new pair of glasses tomorrow to use first." Renekton remembered the pair of glasses that the butler mentioned.

  That was a gift from Renekton's father on his eighteenth birthday. It was a pair of exquisite handicrafts in brass with gold thread. Renekton liked that pair of glasses very much. Recalling the appearance of the glasses in his memory, Renekton also thought they were very good. They should have been broken when his predecessor was on the verge of losing control.

  "Okay, young master, you take a rest first. Sally has gone to prepare dinner. I'll let you know when dinner is ready." The butler bowed and limped away with his cane. After

  returning to his room, Renekton turned on the gas wall lamp in the room, closed the door and lay down on the bed. With one hand, he took out the strange ornament he had taken from the Church of Knowledge from the mouth of his shirt.

  Renekton held the ornament in his hand up to his eyes. This ornament only had a thin silver chain that was not too long. It did not look like a pendant, but there was no clasp on the back, so it was obviously not a brooch.

  "The ring full of gears and the vertical eye without eyelashes, why does it feel so steampunk and Cthulhu? I feel that you are quite suitable for this world." Renekton muttered as he looked at the strange ornament in his hand.

  Renekton stared at the ornament in his hand for a long time without any clue, so he put it aside and began to try to meditate. The method of meditation was already in Renekton's memory, but Renekton wanted to change the object of visualization. As an earthling, how could he not visualize something special?

  After closing his eyes, Renekton thought for a long time before deciding what to visualize. According to the meditation method in his memory, Renekton began to outline the pattern in his mind. One by one, the stars lit up, connected to each other, and the picture gradually spread to the surroundings. Renekton wanted to try to visualize a starry dragon, and he had already thought of the reference object.

  There was a sudden sharp pain in his head. The stars that Renekton had originally outlined all dissipated, leaving only a few scattered points of light. Although he didn't know what happened, Renekton also understood that his attempt at meditation had failed.

  Renekton was ready to give up meditation first, and then think about whether he could visualize other things, but he found that he couldn't quit the meditation process. It was as if his spirit and mind suddenly had their own ideas and wills, leaving only Renekton's consciousness as a spectator.

  "What's going on? Is it the so-called additional information? Or am I unlucky enough to encounter some mysterious event again?" Renekton began to panic.

  Renekton's consciousness began to reconstruct the conception, which was a figure formed by countless golden sand particles flowing and gathering.

  A ring made of countless gears and pipes, with golden sparks and smoke rising from it, and a huge pupilless eye in the middle. The two fit tightly together, and there are several chains like tentacles shaking. All of this is made of golden sand. On the gears, on the huge pupilless eye, the rising smoke and sparks are all golden sand flowing.

  "Is this what the ornament really looks like?" Renekton's consciousness was uneasy.

  As the new visualization took shape, Renekton found that his consciousness seemed to be temporarily separated, becoming a relatively independent individual in the picture that appeared in meditation.

  Under the inner curiosity and an inexplicable attraction, Renekton controlled his consciousness to rush towards the strange figure that appeared in the visualization.

  Renekton felt that his consciousness hit the huge pupilless eye in the middle of the visualization. In his trance, Renekton seemed to see a huge eye without eyelashes and flesh, like a mass of flowing liquid emitting a purple halo.

  The moment Renekton saw this scene, a piece of information appeared in his mind: Sequence 2: Sage. At the same time, countless pieces of information rushed into Renekton's mind. Renekton was instantly blown out of his meditative state. At the last moment, Renekton seemed to see some light debris falling from the huge eye and falling towards him.

  "Hoo! Hoo!" Renekton sat on the bed, holding the edge of the bed with one hand to stabilize his body, and holding his head that was about to explode with the other hand.

  After maintaining this posture for a long time, Renekton finally sorted out the knowledge that was poured into his mind. Most of it was useless and redundant knowledge.

  For example, the steps to extract salt from seawater, when is the best time to add salt when cooking, of course, there is also some useful knowledge, such as some hidden history, a spell for weeding, and some Elvish.

  "I was fed so much knowledge all at once. No wonder I felt like my head was about to explode. Fortunately, it was short-lived. I was stimulated to quit meditation almost the moment I saw the huge eyes. Otherwise, my head would have exploded on the spot, in the physical sense." Renekton sighed with some relief. Chapter 9 Sequence Nine: Secret Peer

  "I seem to have something extra." After calming down, Renekton noticed that something seemed to have changed in himself. Renekton immediately closed his eyes and calmed down to feel the changes in himself.

  "Sequence Nine: Secret Peer, Secret Eye!" Renekton opened his eyes.

  The originally light blue eyes were instantly covered with a layer of purple light. Renekton felt that the world in his eyes had changed greatly. For a moment, Renekton felt that he seemed to be able to see the essence of this world.

  However, Renekton knew that this was just an illusion caused by his first use of the Secret Eye. Moreover, people who have read the original book know that this thing is useful, but it is also dangerous.

  After being curious for a while, he stopped trying to actively use the Secret Eye. Although even if he did not actively use it, the Secret Eye would be passively opened and could not be closed, but at least it would not have such a strong ability to spy on secrets.

  "But am I not a reasoning student of the Reader Path Sequence Eight? How did I become a Secret Peer of the Secret Peer Path Sequence Nine?" Renekton was a little puzzled.

  Moreover, Renekton realized that the extraordinary characteristics of the reader's path were still in his body, and he could still use the corresponding extraordinary abilities.

  The most important extraordinary ability of a reasoning student is quick thinking. As the name suggests, this extraordinary ability is to greatly improve the thinking and observation abilities of an extraordinary person in a short period of time. After using it, there will be a period of mental weakness. It cannot be used one after another in a short period of time, otherwise it will cause mental exhaustion and lead to loss of control.

  The purple halo in Renekton's eyes had just dissipated and was surrounded by a faint blue-white glow, but this layer of glow was very faint and it was difficult to notice without careful observation. Renekton felt that his thoughts were clearer than ever before. The swelling in his head caused by the large amount of knowledge he had just infused into it subsided at this moment.

  Renekton quickly sorted out his memories and thoughts:

  "First of all, the characteristics of the Mysterious Peeper in me came from a strange place. It is most likely brought by the giant eye just now, but I am not out of control. I don't need to digest this Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 9. I can completely control it. It just needs a process of adaptation.

  It is strange that I don't need to digest it. It's as if it doesn't belong to me and is just temporarily stored here. Is this the so-called gift system? I only need to offer my faith to get the response of the great existence. There is no need for potions, acting and digestion, but I still need to master and adapt.

  Secondly, the information fed back to me by the giant eye I saw just now is Sequence 2: Sage, that giant eye is Sequence 2 Sage?

  Sages do have the ability to digitize. I was not polluted just now. I just passively received a lot of information and almost burst my head. So it is most likely not a real angel, but a Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristic.

  This explains a lot of problems. The only ones who can give me a Sequence 2 Sage Beyonder characteristic through grace in this world are the Hidden Sage and the Wilderness of Knowledge.

  In a sense, these two can be equivalent, because when I read the novel before crossing over, I guessed that the Hidden Sage was the uniqueness that was activated by the pollution of the Wilderness of Knowledge, that is, the vest of the Wilderness of Knowledge to operate outside the Western Continent. " "

  So, the place I went to when I first crossed over was the Wilderness of Knowledge, and then I was captured by the Wilderness of Knowledge? ? Then the Wilderness of Knowledge put it on Renekton through the Hidden Sage, and also gave me a Sequence 2 gift?" Renekton felt his scalp tingling.

  "The Wilds of Knowledge probably didn't want to pollute and assimilate me right away. No, I was already polluted a long time ago. My previous body turned into a mosaic, and my soul must have been polluted at that time.

  But why did they put me on Renekton? They also gave me a Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristic, although it was in a very strange state and I couldn't use it directly. Was this done to prevent me from being polluted by the Sequence 2 characteristic and losing control immediately?

  And why did they let me master the Beyonder characteristics of the Reader and the Peeper at the same time, which are two non-adjacent but very similar Beyonders? Wouldn't it be better to land an angel directly? The Hidden Sage was already being suppressed by the God of Steam and Machinery. That's right. In this case, a Sequence 2 angel is useless.     I should have other uses? ? Two different extraordinary characteristics, I feel like I'm going to go crazy sooner or later. "The more Renekton thought about it, the more his head was in trouble. The quick thinking ability of the reasoning students was simply not enough.

  The faint blue-white light in his eyes dissipated, and Renekton suddenly felt his brain become drowsy, just like the listless look after overusing the brain and not wanting to think.

  Renekton did not think about the problem anymore, slowly fell on the bed and began to close his eyes to rest and recover his energy.

  It was not until the butler came to call Renekton downstairs for dinner that Renekton got up from the bed. He did not rush to eat dinner, but first came to the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner.

  Renekton looked at himself in the mirror, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no extra strange thing on his body, and no parts were missing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he was not contaminated by the characteristics of the sequence two, he was still a little worried that he would be affected by the extraordinary characteristics of two different paths and mutated.

  Fortunately, except for the eyes changing from the original light blue to a slightly purple blue-purple, this was due to the influence of the Eye of Peering. The Eye of Peering could not be closed, and the changes in the eyes could not be changed.

  "I urgently need a pair of glasses. Fortunately, this change is not obvious. As long as people who are not familiar with me observe carefully, they will not notice it. Mr. Butler and his team are just ordinary people and should not have such observation ability. But there are some problems in the Execution Team. Although I just met them, most of them are extraordinary people of the Reader Path, with full observation and reasoning abilities. Oh! Trouble! "He sighed helplessly.

  It would be best if the glasses were a magical item, both to cover up the change in the color of my eyes and to block my prying eyes. I can't see what I shouldn't see, especially since I'm still in the Executioner Team. I don't know when I'll be killed because of seeing a contaminated seal or magical item.

  After sorting out his thoughts, Renekton went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.

  Aunt Sally's cooking skills were as good as always, and today she specially prepared fruity drinks with trace amounts of alcohol and some special snacks, a rare barbecue in the western part of Feynaport, a bit like barbecue, with several different kinds of meat skewered on wooden sticks, and a fruit that looks like a lemon in the middle, with a slightly sour taste and a sweet aftertaste, coupled with a unique seasoning, which makes the taste and flavor of the whole barbecue rise to more than one level, and because there are fruits mixed in it, it won't be too much because of eating too much at once. Feeling greasy.

  Renekton was particularly satisfied with this dinner. Renekton saw that the butler and the male servant, Luot, who were sitting on both sides of the table, were also eating happily.

  Because there were not many people in the family, Renekton usually asked the butler and others to dine with him. Only when his parents were at home or there were guests at home, they would eat separately because someone was needed to take care of the guests.

  The maid Aunt Sally lived in the city of Madan, not too far from here. It only took more than ten minutes to take a public carriage, so Aunt Sally usually went home to accompany her family after preparing dinner in the evening.

  Only the butler and the bachelor male servant Luot, who did not have a good relationship with his son, would live here for a long time. Of course, there were also butler rooms and servant rooms in the house. Although Renekton's parents were often not around, his parents could often go out and have a lot of wealth in the family.

  "Life here is actually not that bad, if there was no doomsday that was getting closer and closer. Sure enough, I would miss home when I was away from home. I wonder if I can go back? Perhaps I can only get the answer from it when I face the wilderness of knowledge. "After eating and drinking, Renekton's thoughts began to rise, thinking about the past and the present, but more of it was that he wanted to go home.  Chapter 10 A pile of knowledge points? A pile of lists!

  When I woke up the next morning, the housekeeper had already gone out to buy breakfast. Renekton simply ate breakfast, changed clothes and went out.

  From today on, I will go to the Knowledge Church to punch in for work every day, but before that, Renekton plans to go to a nearby store to buy a new pair of glasses. He needs something to cover up his eyes.

  Fortunately, as the most popular decoration for the members of the Knowledge Church, it is still easy to buy near the Knowledge Church.

  For most people in the Knowledge Church, glasses are indeed just a decoration to set off themselves and appear more like a knowledgeable scholar. Of course, there are also many people who have to use glasses to assist because of their poor eyesight due to long-term reading.

  Taking a carriage to the vicinity of the Nassau West Library, Renekton randomly found a store that sells glasses. He picked and chose and bought a pair of punk-style glasses made of silver and cobalt blue metal. The glass of the lens has a blue-purple glow, which can just be used to cover up the subtle changes in the color of his eyes.

  "How much is this pair of glasses?" Renekton asked politely.

  "Sir, you have a good eye. This pair of glasses is a new product that has just arrived in our store. It is a completely different style from the previous ones. After wearing it, you will look younger and more energetic. It is very suitable for young gentlemen like you. This is a new model that has just been put on the shelves. It only costs one gold rizo." The middle-aged store manager, who was dressed like a gentleman in a top hat and a tuxedo, answered enthusiastically.

  The first order of the store today was from a big customer named Rekton, who was obviously rich from his attire. The smile on the boss's face was almost half the width of his face.

  "So expensive?" Rekton raised his eyebrows. He was not short of money but he was not stupid. This boss was obviously deliberately raising the price.

  "Sir, this pair of glasses is the latest model that has just arrived. Both the craftsmanship and the material are first-class. The price is not expensive." The boss explained with a smile on his face.

  "Okay, give me two pairs of this pair of glasses. The lenses do not need a degree." Rekton nodded and did not dwell on this issue too much.

  "Two pairs?" The smile on the boss's face became even more exaggerated.

  "Yes, two pairs. I like this pair of glasses very much. I'll buy an extra pair for my future teacher." Renekton replied.

  "Haha! Sir, you have a good eye. Your teacher will definitely like this gift. Sir, is your teacher a scholar of the Church of Knowledge? People who come here so early are either believers who go to church to pray or members of the Church of Knowledge." The boss praised Renekton's eyesight while looking for topics to chat.

  "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to church every day. As a Feynapotter, I never thought that one day my life after joining the church would be the same as my life in college. No, it's more strict." Renekton half-satirically mentioned that he was also a scholar of the Church of Knowledge.

  "When we are immersed in knowledge, it's like being in the kingdom of God!" The boss also said something to show his faith at this time.

  "Mr. Store Manager, you are right. You must be a loyal believer of my Lord to be able to say such philosophical words." Renekton said while drawing the holy emblem of the Church of Knowledge on his chest with his right hand.

  "It's my honor." When talking about faith, the boss's smile became more sincere: "Looking at your age, you should have just become a scholar of the Church of Knowledge not long ago, right? As a devout believer of my Lord, these two pairs of glasses are only worth one gold liso to you. It is my support for you to join the church and serve my Lord. Please don't refuse."

  As the store manager spoke, he took out a delicately crafted wooden box from the bottom of the shelf next to him. After the boss opened the wooden box and handed it to Renekton, Renekton saw that it was a pair of glasses exactly the same as the one he was holding in his hand.

  "Sir, please don't refuse. This is a little gift from me as a believer of my Lord to the church that serves my Lord." The boss's words and expression were particularly pious.

  Renekton took the wooden box handed over by the boss, and took out a gold liso from the inner pocket of his brown long windbreaker with his right hand and handed it to the boss.

  "It's my honor to serve my Lord. Thank you for your generosity, sir!" Renekton responded with a solemn and pious expression.

  After chatting with the boss for a few more words, Renekton left. He put on his newly bought glasses and went to the lounge on the third floor of the Nassausi Library to find Mr. Koss.

  "This boss may not be a very devout believer, but he must be a qualified believer and a devout businessman." Renekton sighed softly.

  As a reasoning student of the Reader Path Sequence 8, Renekton could naturally see that the price the boss said at the beginning was much higher. He probably thought that he would bargain anyway, and it would be better if he didn't bargain.

  But later, when Renekton mentioned in the conversation with the boss that he was a scholar who joined the Church of Knowledge, the boss gave him a pair of glasses as a favor. The piety he mentioned when he mentioned faith was real.

  "Most people in this world are extremely devout in their own beliefs. It is a belief of body and mind." Renekton said with some emotion.

  "Good morning! Ms. Jessica!" When Renekton came to the lounge on the third floor of the library, Jessica was already sitting in her seat yesterday, drinking coffee and flipping through the newspaper in her hand.     "Good morning! Renekton. You're here early! You're a self-disciplined boy!" Jessica responded, teasing Renekton.

  "Self-disciplined, sunny, cheerful, handsome and smart boy!" Renekton boasted.

  Renekton's reaction was beyond her expectations as a psychologist, which surprised Jessica.

  "Well! I can see that you're in good shape today. Keep it up. A good mood will make you happy physically and mentally, and it will also allow you to better face the effects of the potion." Jessica nodded and praised Renekton's mental state. Renekton nodded and

  walked to the corner of the lounge. Perhaps it was because he came early on the first day. At this time, except for Jessica who was drinking coffee and reading newspapers and Mr. Kos who was writing something in the corner, no one else had arrived in the lounge. It may

  also be that they went directly to the office area. Renekton didn't know where the office area was, so he had to come to the lounge where he had been yesterday. Anyway, his task was to read books and study, so he must come to the library.

  "Good morning, Mr. Kos, what are you writing?" Renekton walked over and said hello.

  "Good morning, Renekton, this is your study list for this period of time. Here, this is part of what has been written. There is still a small half left. I will give it to you later. I didn't expect you to come so early. Qiao Xi and others are very punctual every day." Mr. Kos nodded and handed Renekton a stack of papers that he had already written.

  "Are you very punctual to check in?" Renekton took the stack of papers handed over by Mr. Kos.

  This is a piece of paper folded together. Renekton held the top page and released the paper behind it. The paper drooped until it dragged on the ground.

  Renekton looked at the list in his hand in a daze. Originally, Renekton thought it was a stack of knowledge points copied by Mr. Kos! He didn't expect it to be a list with the names of books densely written on it, followed by the location of the library.

  Swallowing his saliva, Renekton said incredulously: "Is this a list?"

  "Yes, these are the books you need to finish reading and master the content in this month. I still have a small half here. I will give it to you after I finish writing it." Mr. Kos nodded in an unchanged tone.

  "One month? Finish reading?" Renekton suspected that he had heard it wrong.

  "Yes, this is the first batch, so it will be less. After you get used to it, the list I will give you will be increased in the future." Mr. Kos seemed to think that the content was still too little and added another sentence.

  "Also, every month I will give you questions based on the content of the books you read, and you must read them carefully." Mr. Kos added at the end.

  "Destroy it! Hurry up! I don't love it anymore!" The villain in Renekton's heart has already laid down and rotten.

  "Can I finish reading these books in a month?" Renekton felt that Mr. Kos was joking with him.

  "Theoretically, it is possible. You are already a Sequence 8 reasoning student. On top of the memory and comprehension abilities of the Sequence 9 readers, you have also improved your observation and logical thinking abilities. As long as you have mastered your own extraordinary abilities, it is not too difficult for you to finish reading and master these books within a month. Moreover, these books are relatively basic, so it will be easier for you to read and understand them." Mr. Kos explained in detail why he gave so many books.

  "I don't think I have mastered my own extraordinary abilities to this extent." Renekton said.

  "That's why I need to practice. I told the captain yesterday that since you can directly swallow the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 8, whether it is entirely due to luck or not, it only shows that you have a high compatibility with the reader path, and you will soon be able to adapt and master your own extraordinary abilities." Mr. Kos's answer was very convincing.

  "Yeah!" Renekton nodded and didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

  "I always feel like I've been PUA'd in the workplace. Sigh! It's a pity that I don't have much affinity with the Reader Path. I was able to survive not because of luck or strength, but because a big boss helped me fight poison with poison, using higher-level pollution to suppress the pollution in the Beyonder characteristics." Renekton could only complain silently in his heart and didn't dare to speak loudly.

  "Take a rest, then go downstairs to the first floor of the library and take the books in the first few columns on the list and take a look. If you have any questions, you can ask them. I will modify this plan according to your learning progress." Mr. Koss gave an instruction and continued to write the study plan list for Renekton.
