Chapter 26 History of the Gustav Family

"Father!"

The next morning, Roselle came to Baron Gustav's study.

"I don't know why he wanted to kill you, but since you said you didn't need psychic communication, I had your body cremated. This is his Beyonder characteristic. Do you know Beyonder characteristics?"

Baron Gustav asked after a pause.

"Know."

Roselle answered truthfully, saying that it was Zaratul who told him this.

"Since you are a Beyonder of the Church of the Artisan, you must know about the Mechanical Heart. You need to tell them about this. If they ask about the body, just tell them that I disposed of it."

Baron Gustav glanced at Roselle and explained:

"If I had told the Mechanical Heart directly last night, they would have definitely asked about the whole thing through psychic communication. I don't know if you provoked this person yourself or if it was brought here because of the mission from the Artisan Church, but doing this can protect you to the greatest extent."

Russell nodded, understanding that his father was worried that he would get involved in an extraordinary incident. If the Mechanical Heart knew about it, he might be unfavorable to him.

But Roselle believed that the assassin did not know who gave the order or why he wanted to kill him.

"That person came here specifically to assassinate me. It's a personal grudge and has nothing to do with the church."

When Russell saw his father looking at him, he told him the truth.

Baron Gustav nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Although the body has been disposed of, the matter is not over yet. I cannot ensure that no one has spread the news of what happened last night, so you have to go to the church."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"

Russell nodded, but he didn't expect that his father didn't ask him how he joined the Mechanical Heart.

Since his father didn't ask, Roselle didn't plan to speak up, but he was prepared to tell his father about Alyosha with some reservations.

Because Roselle didn't know whether this incident would have any impact on the Gustav family. If Alyosha wanted to suppress the Gustav family, letting his father know in advance would definitely allow him to deal with it more calmly.

As for the part that has been preserved, it is naturally about Zaratul.

"Father, I want to tell you in detail about what happened last night."

After figuring it out, Russell told the whole story.

"Hmph! Don't panic. What can Count Fulais do if he takes action himself? Besides, Alyosha is not one of them!"

Baron Gustav snorted coldly and did not take Alyosha seriously.

"But if I deal with Alyosha, won't Count Forres be angry?"

Alyosha Roselle was not afraid. He was mainly worried that Count Fures would take action himself, which would be the end of him.

"Don't worry. He is in his 40s or 50s anyway. If he really has the nerve to attack you personally, just go to the Craftsman Church. The church will not allow its people to be bullied."

"You can handle this matter yourself. Don't worry about the Gustav family. We are not that fragile yet."

Baron Gustav was not worried at all, and instead talked about the Beyonders.

"I'm sure you've learned everything about Beyonders from the Church. Also, you should have realized that I also know about Beyonders. This is related to the history of the Gustav family."

Baron Gustav took out a book from the drawer and handed it to Roselle, saying:

"This is the history of our Gustav family. You will understand when you read it."

Roselle took it and looked at the cover of the book. It was the emblem of the Gustav family.

After taking another look at his father, Russell lowered his head and looked carefully.

In the early days of Intis' founding, Charlemagne Gustav, the ancestor of the Gustav family, was named count for his military exploits. This was the beginning of the Gustav family's glory.

At that time, Charlemagne was already a Sequence 5 warrior, but the specific path he took is now unknown because of the long time and some changes.

After years of development, the Gustav family had a Sequence 4 demigod, and became the only family in Intis with two earls.

"Tsk tsk! I didn't expect the Gustav family to be so glorious!" Roselle exclaimed.

In 738, the War of Oath Breaking broke out, and the Gustav family joined the war. During the war, all the Sequence 4 demigods and Sequence 5 clansmen died.

After the war, the Gustav family was suppressed by other demigod families, and the Soran royal family sat back and watched.

However, the Gustav family was a demigod family after all, and did not disappear. Instead, they survived tenaciously.

Later, perhaps because of the Gustav family's contributions to Intis, the Soran royal family saved the Gustav family.

However, the Gustav family, which had been suppressed for a long time, declined from then on.

Today, although the Gustav family has completely declined, some basic occult knowledge has been preserved, including the ancient Hermetic language.

"No wonder my predecessor started learning ancient Hermetic language since he was young. This was preparation in advance!"

Russell suddenly realized something and closed the family history.

This book mostly talks about mystical knowledge and introductions to Beyonders, but contains very little real history about the Gustav family.

"However, there is no acting method mentioned here. Could it be that it was lost during the inheritance process?"

The more Roselle thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him. How could someone who could become a demigod not know how to act? Moreover, without the method of acting, other nobles would be able to rest assured to keep the Gustav family!

"I didn't expect this to be the true history of our Gustav family."

Roselle said with regret that if it hadn't been for that incident, Roselle, as a member of the Gustav family, wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Father, are you also a Beyonder?"

Russell asked curiously.

"No, I didn't choose to become a Beyonder back then, because your grandfather died in front of me because he lost control."

Baron Gustav said with emotion:

"When I realized the dangers faced by Extraordinary People, I was scared. I don't want to become a monster that is neither human nor ghost!"

"I was originally hesitant about whether to let you become a Beyonder, but now it seems that there is no need to hesitate any longer."

Roselle looked at his father's lonely eyes and recalled the purifying light he encountered. They were also cleaning up the out-of-control Beyonders!

"Father, what are the extraordinary paths in our family?"

Russell changed the subject.

Since my father said that he gave up on becoming a Beyonder at that time, it means that there must be a potion formula at home.

Roselle did not expect that his family had a direct path to becoming a demigod, because that was unrealistic. Those who had attacked the Gustav family and the Soran royal family would not allow it.

As long as there are a few that are suitable for Green and Edwards, it will be fine. After all, the formula of the universalist potion must not be leaked.

"Which ones? Ha! If it was during the most glorious period, our family might have several extraordinary paths for you to choose from, but now, there are only two choices!"

As he spoke, Baron Gustav took out a thin booklet from the drawer, opened it, and placed it in front of Roselle.

Roselle looked down at the booklet, which recorded two extraordinary paths. One was the Chanter's Path, which contained potion formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, and the other was the Warrior Path, which only had Sequence 9.

"Well... that's all..."

Russell was a little disappointed. It was only the front one, and the ceiling was too low!

Chapter 27 Learning

"Alright, you are already a Beyonder anyway, this has nothing to do with you anymore."

Baron Gustav gave a reminder, then stood up and pulled out two thick books from the bookshelf.

"This is some of our family's knowledge about the mysticism, as well as an introduction to the various Beyonder forces. Take it and have a look!"

Roselle happily took the two thick books. This way, he no longer had to spend his merits to read books in the church.

Although Roselle did not think that his family's knowledge of mysticism was as complete as that of the church, the most basic ones were certainly similar.

Moreover, Roselle did not think that he could see any secrets in the Artisan Church with his little merit.

Most importantly, Roselle discovered that after this incident, Zaratul's affairs could be hidden more perfectly.

When he met the church, he said that the knowledge he got from Zaratul was obtained from his family. After all, the church would definitely be able to find out that the Gustav family was once a demigod family.

"Okay, if you have nothing else, go back first!"

Baron Gustav waved his hand, ready to drive Roselle away.

Russell stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly thought:

"Father, I taught the craftsman some printing and papermaking techniques. I think we can also get involved. The benefits will undoubtedly be huge!"

Roselle told Baron Gustav about printing and papermaking, hoping that his father could seize the business opportunity and make a fortune.

Baron Gustav frowned and nodded slightly.

"Let me think about it!"

Judging from Baron Gustav's attitude, Roselle felt that his father might not be too interested.

After all, Baron Gustav was still a land noble, and opening a factory to do business was actually a bit beneath his status.

Seeing this, Roselle did not continue to persuade him. It would take some time anyway, so there was no rush.

Returning to his room, Roselle opened the mystical knowledge he had just acquired.

As for going to church, there is no need to rush. Feisommon and the others know about it anyway. It will be the same if we go in the afternoon and bring the two thousand Fergin to the captain then.

As for now, of course, it's studying!

...

"Captain, go check it out! Ryan... Ryan..."

Selina rushed into Fesomon's office in a panic.

When Feisomeng heard the word Ryan, he suddenly panicked. Did something happen to Ryan?

"Selina, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened to Ryan?"

Fesomone grabbed Selina's hand, handed her a glass of water, and asked her to calm down first.

Serena didn't bother to drink water, she tried to calm down and said:

"Isn't it Ryan's turn to be on duty today? But I didn't see Ryan this morning, so I went to look for him. As soon as I walked in, I saw Ryan lying on the ground unconscious."

"I gonna go see!"

Without even bothering to scratch his head, Fesommon left the office and headed straight for Ryan's room.

As soon as he entered the door, Fesomone saw Ryan sitting on the ground and Simon squatting beside him.

"Captain! Ryan is fine, he's just simply unconscious."

Simon saw Fesomone coming over and stood up and said.

Fesom let out a long sigh, looked at Ryan, who had a dark and confused face, and asked doubtfully:

"How did it become like this!"

"Yesterday, I heard Russell say that granulating gunpowder can increase its power, so I couldn't help but want to try it. As a result, I didn't control it well, and the gunpowder exploded accidentally!"

After explaining, Ryan smiled sheepishly again.

Feisuomeng covered his face speechlessly and said earnestly:

"Ryan, this is the headquarters of the Mechanical Heart. How can we conduct such a dangerous experiment?"

I know! That's why I only used a small amount of gunpowder!"

Ryan argued somewhat unconvincingly.

"Luckily it was only a small amount, otherwise even if the Mechanical Heart wasn't blown away, you would have been blown to pieces. It wouldn't have been just a slight concussion!"

Simon was also a little speechless. Ryan had always dared to try things, and after meeting Russell, he became even more courageous in experimenting.

"Humph! Ryan, don't play with Russell anymore. He will lead you astray!"

Serena said, her tone full of dissatisfaction with Roselle.

"Selina, you can't say that. After all, Roselle is our colleague!"

Fesomone rubbed Selina's head, and there was some helplessness in his words. Ever since he met Roselle yesterday, he has been dissatisfied with him.

In fact, Selina is not petty. She is just worried that the hidden things in Roselle will bring danger to the Mechanical Heart.

"okay!"

Serena wrinkled her nose and muttered.

Fesomone ignored Serena and turned to Ryan and said:

"Ryan, I'll take over your watch today, you should take a good rest first!"

Ryan nodded and did not reject Fesommon's kindness. His current condition was indeed not suitable for continuing to be on duty.

...

Russell closed the book on mysticism reluctantly. This book benefited him a lot.

"Oh! It turns out that learning can really make people happy! It's a pity that I didn't realize it in my previous life, otherwise I might be able to build an atomic bomb now."

Russell imagined.

Although this was only a change brought about by the potion, Roselle did recall the physics, chemistry and other knowledge he had learned before, and even understood the knowledge points that he did not understand before.

"Maybe this is what those top students feel like, they remember everything they see and can learn it once they learn it!"

Russell muttered as he put the book away, planning to continue reading when he returned in the evening.

And now, Roselle is going to go to the Mechanical Research Association to tell the captain about the assassin.

"Alas! The small treasury has shrunk again!"

Russell sighed as he counted out two thousand Felkins.

"Speaking of which, I work for the church, shouldn't the church pay me a salary?"

Russell, who was dressed neatly, suddenly thought of this question and decided to ask the captain later.

"Mr. Russell, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

As soon as Russell walked out of the room, he ran into Alice.

It can be seen that Alice is a little nervous, probably because she was frightened by what happened yesterday.

I don't know if the Artisan Church has any method to erase memory. Otherwise, even with my father's instructions, I probably wouldn't be able to hide the fact that I murdered someone.

Once it is known to outsiders, there will probably be a lot of trouble.

"I'm not home for dinner tonight!"

Russell planned to meet Green and Edwards after returning from the Mechanical Heart and tell them about the potion.

In a few days, I will go to the Beyonder gathering to find the corresponding potion and make them both Beyonders as soon as possible, so that I don't have to fight alone all the time.

"I don't know if Edwards and Green like the Warrior Path and the Chanter Path."

"I think Edwards will be fine. He is a believer of the Eternal Sun and will probably be interested in the Path of the Singer."

"That's Green. If he chooses the warrior path, he will have to collect the subsequent potion formulas himself."

Russell looked at the approaching carriage and put his thoughts aside for the moment.

"To the Lombard Quarter!

Chapter 28 Russell's Advice

"Hey! Serena, you don't look very happy!"

As soon as Russell entered the Mechanical Research Association, he ran into Selina with a sullen face.

"Go away! It's none of your business!"

Selina, who was already angry, became even angrier when she saw Roselle.

"What's wrong? The captain pulled up his pants and didn't recognize me?"

Russell smiled, and instead of walking away, he walked towards him.

"You...how can you say that? The captain wouldn't do that! Humph!"

Selina's face flushed and she glared at Roselle fiercely.

"What's going on? Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice!"

Roselle knew at a glance that Selina had a conflict with the captain, and the captain probably didn't realize that Selina was angry.

Oh, damn love!

"What good ideas can you offer?"

Selina looked at Roselle doubtfully.

"You won't know unless you try."

Seeing Roselle's confident look, Selina bit her lip and told him the whole story.

It turned out that Fesomon was supposed to take over Ryan's shift, but Selina saw that Fesomon was too tired these days and wanted to take over his shift. However, Fesomon not only disagreed, but also drove Selina out.

"He...he also said something, asking me to stop being willful, okay! Could it be...could it be that I don't care about him?"

Selina was so angry that her cheeks puffed up and her eyes were wide open.

Russell touched his nose. He didn't expect that the ultimate source of this matter was actually here. Ryan was really... Alas!

"Hey! We can't always blame the captain. We also have to look for the reasons within ourselves. This is actually due to your inner anxiety!"

"Anxious? But I'm not anxious!"

Selina frowned, not quite understanding.

"Look, you don't understand this! You care too much about the captain right now, and at the same time, you hope the captain can care about you in the same way."

"But the captain is not good at expressing himself, which makes you feel that you are not valued and you worry about losing the captain, which creates a kind of anxiety."

"Then...then what should I do!"

Seeing what Roselle said was very logical, Selina couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Seeing that Serena had listened, Roselle continued to deceive her:

"Selina, you have to learn to take the initiative and learn to capture the captain's heart. The premise of all this is to capture the captain's men first, leaving him no way to escape!"

Roselle looked at Serena's eyes full of surprise and suspicion, and said:

"Selina, don't look at me with your suspicious eyes! Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"

After saying that, Roselle walked past Serena, leaving her standing there alone to think, while he walked towards the back hall.

"Hey! Captain, this is all I can do to help you!"

Russell sighed inwardly.

"Roselle! Why are you here again?"

As soon as Roselle arrived at the back hall, he met Simon, so he hurried forward and grabbed Simon, asking where the captain was.

"The captain is guarding the seal vault. Are you here to pay back the money?"

Simon replied that the seal library was not a secret anyway, so he could let Roselle know.

"Seal library?"

Roselle instantly became very interested in the seal library that Simon mentioned.

"That is where the Sealed Objects are stored and some dangerous Beyonders are imprisoned. Three members of the Mechanical Heart take turns guarding it every day."

Listening to Simon's explanation, Russell suddenly understood.

"The captain is only Sequence 7, right? Can he guard those dangerous things?"

The other two members of the Mechanical Heart must be members of the other two teams. However, the captains of the three teams are only Sequence 7. Can they guard the extremely dangerous seal mentioned by Zaratul?

"We are only guarding, not imprisoning. There are relics of the members of the Council of Gods there to suppress it. Generally, nothing will happen. We just need to keep an eye out for any unusual movements."

Simon explained as he led Roselle towards the seal vault.

"No wonder!"

Russell followed Simon up the steep stairwell and it took about ten minutes to reach a silver door.

The door has a metallic texture and no patterns on it, except for a mechanical lock that looks extremely complicated.

"Simon, Roselle, what's going on?"

In a room in front of the door, Fesommon noticed the person coming.

"Captain, someone attacked me last night..."

Roselle told Fessomon what he had planned in advance, and then gave him the assassin's extraordinary characteristics. Roselle did not forget the two thousand Felgin.

"Okay, I understand. You guys go back first!"

Fesomon did not give any response. He wanted to report to the archbishop first.

Seeing the captain's reaction, Russell knew that the matter was probably over.

"Simon, I don't know yet which extraordinary path you are on."

Simon was stunned for a moment, then said:

"I am from the warrior path."

"Warrior Path!"

Russell looked at Simon's thin body in surprise, it was really hard to imagine.

"What about the captain and the others?"

Russell asked.

Simon glanced at Russell, hesitated for a moment, and answered truthfully:

"The captain is on the Seer path, Selina is on the Peer of Secrets path, and Ryan is on the Hunter path."

"Mystery Peeper, Hunter, why didn't the church give me these two options?"

Russell wondered, could there be some other explanation behind this?

"I don't know. Perhaps the church feels that these two paths only have the first part, and it is not appropriate to give it to you who have made such a great contribution."

Russell watched Simon chatter without blushing or beating his heart, and did not expose him.

Roselle knew that the Artisan Church must have a certain purpose in doing this.

Could it be that the Artisan Church wants to make itself a universalist?

Then why give me two choices? Wouldn't it be better to just give the generalist the potion formula?

It's unnecessary, and I have no intention of hiding it from you.

There really are many extraordinary people from other paths in the church. It is obvious that they are not afraid of being found out by me!

Roselle shook his head. Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to think about it anymore. Now he was just a little Karami of Sequence 9. What difference would it make if he knew?

"What does a secret peeper do?"

The warrior Roselle had already learned about it from the documents, and the hunter also knew some from Zaratul and Lormo, but the secret peeper Roselle knew nothing.

"I'm not exactly sure, but it seems to be related to ritual magic and divination."

"Divination? Can a person of general knowledge do divination?"

Through the mystical books in the family, Russell remembered that divination seemed to be related to spirituality, and the spirituality of the generalists was not low!

"It should be possible, but most of your divination comes from spiritual intuition, so the accuracy is relatively low."

Simon answered somewhat uncertainly, as he didn't know much about these things.

Russell nodded thoughtfully. He remembered that the tarot divination in his previous life seemed to be quite accurate. Maybe he could give it a try here.

There was also the silver medal that led to his time travel. Perhaps he could try to make it. After becoming a universalist, Russell found himself recalling the details of the silver medal.

Because he still had to look for Green and Edwards, Russell didn't stay for too long and left quickly.

...

Because the duty in the seal library was rotated every twelve hours, Fesomon finished his shift just as it got dark.

After handing over his work, Fei Suomeng immediately returned to his office.

But as soon as Fesommon entered the door, he saw Serena standing there with a shy look on her face, and said to Fesommon who had just come in:

"Captain, there's no one at home tonight!"

"ha?"

Fesomone looked at Serena in confusion.

Chapter 29 Tarot

"Huh, finally done, it was really not easy!"

Russell looked at the 78 tarot cards on the table, which took him nearly a week to make.

During this week, in addition to learning various divination knowledge every day, Russell was constantly thinking about Tarot cards and recording relevant things.

"I feel like the potion has been digested. Is this what Zaratul meant by acting?"

Because he continued to learn about divination during this period, Russell unknowingly became a generalist.

"A generalist, as the name implies, should learn a wide range of knowledge?"

Roselle gradually came to an understanding in his mind. Perhaps it wouldn't take long for the universalist's magic potion to be digested.

After figuring out the potion, Roselle turned his attention to the Tarot cards.

The Tarot deck of the past life consists of 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards.

The Major Arcana cards usually represent the abstract spiritual level, the part that the person cannot control, and it is long-term and far-reaching.

The 56 small cards are composed of four types of cards: Swords, Cups, Wands, and Pentacles. They generally refer to specific events, the parts that the parties can control, which are short-term and have little impact.

Russell did not make any innovations. After all, he was only a beginner in divination and it was difficult for him to make improvements.

"How about trying divination now?"

Russell looked at the Tarot cards and then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

This is the first step in Tarot divination. Concentrate and meditate on the question you want to divine, such as what my future will be like, whether my marriage is happy, etc.

After meditating, Russell opened his eyes and began to shuffle and cut the cards.

After cutting the cards, Russell counted out the seventh card from top to bottom and placed it on the table.

Then he continued to count down and put the seventh card in the upper left corner of the previous card. Then he used the same steps to draw the third card and put it in the lower right corner of the first card.

This is a very simple Holy Triangle Tarot layout, with three cards representing the past, present, and future respectively.

It can also be said that the first card is the past experience of the card cutter, the second card is the current situation of the problem, and the third card is the prediction of the problem.

Russell exhaled and turned over the third card, which was a Tower card.

"Tower?"

Russell frowned as he looked at the tarot cards on the table.

In Tarot cards, the Tower means sudden change, great change, destruction, and reconstruction.

"Changes are easy to understand. I have become a Beyonder, and my life will definitely change dramatically in the future. But how do I understand it later? Did I destroy the darkness of the old world and establish a new order?"

Russell muttered, wondering if he would rebel in the future.

"If I were to rebel, I would definitely become someone like Napoleon!"

Russell laughed at himself and then put it out of his mind.

The tarot divination that Roselle had just performed did not involve any extraordinary factors, so the accuracy remained to be determined, so Roselle did not take it seriously.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Russell put away the tarot cards, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Hey! Roselle, what are you doing here today?"

Russell didn't need to look back to know that it must be Edwards who came. If nothing unexpected happened, the materials for the potion should have been found.

After Russell gave the two of them the potion formula at home a few days ago, Edwards chose to be a singer without surprise, while Green chose to be a warrior.

But what made Russell speechless was that the two people insisted on giving him money. In the end, Russell had no choice but to accept 5,000 Felgin from each of them. This was definitely not because Russell was short of money, but because he really couldn't refuse the kindness!

"Have you gathered all the ingredients for the potion?"

The two were given the recipe, but they had to find the ingredients for the potion themselves, so Roselle took them to the Beyonders gathering on the Champs-Elysées.

Sequence 9 materials were not difficult to find, and after one or two gatherings, the two of them should have almost gathered all of them.

"right!"

Edwards hurriedly ran to Russell, and Green came as expected.

"There happened to be a party today, and the two of us went. We finally got together, but our pockets are completely empty!"

Edwards felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have given Russell the money for the formula.

Green's face froze when he heard what Edwards said, but who would have thought that he was just politely giving way, but Russell actually took it!

"Ahem! It's good that you have them all. I'll pair them for you later!"

Russell wisely skipped the money issue and used potion to attract the two men's attention.

"No problem, we have brought everything here."

Edwards and Green gave the collected materials to Russell.

Roselle stood up, took it, and led the two to a room that had been prepared in advance.

There are all kinds of instruments here, all of which are needed to prepare potions.

"Roselle, this place feels very alchemist!"

Edwards wandered around excitedly, fiddling with his instruments from time to time.

"really!"

Green nodded in agreement, then asked worriedly:

"Roselle, have you ever made a potion before?"

Russell's hands froze as he was packing up the equipment. Without even turning his head, he said:

"Well...anyway, you can't go wrong by trusting me!"

"…"

Edwards and Green suddenly became a little nervous. This is all money!

"Hey, don't think too much, just watch carefully!"

Russell clumsily took out Edwards's Chanter potion ingredients, which made Edwards look worried.

"A blade of midsummer grass, a leaf of elf dark leaf, five drops of July wine..."

Roselle followed Selina's example and put the auxiliary materials in step by step.

Then he slowly put the main ingredients in. In order to avoid putting too much, Russell deliberately reduced the amount.

After a while, a bottle of light golden Chanter potion successfully appeared in front of the three people.

"Success!"

Edwards asked in surprise.

"Alright! Drink it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Russell said jokingly.

Edwards excitedly picked up the glass bottle containing the potion, took a deep breath, and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking the potion, Edwards began to tremble slightly, and his pupils turned light gold.

Russell and Green looked at Edwards worriedly. After a long time, Edwards gradually calmed down.

"This feeling is so exciting!"

Edwards couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, stop sighing. Once you succeed, just do what I told you before."

Russell waved his hand and sent Edwards aside.

Roselle had already told them some things about taking potions when he gave them the potions.

After Edwards ran aside, Russell immediately prepared Green's warrior potion.

Perhaps because of the experience from last time, Russell was much more skilled this time and prepared Green's potion in no time.

Gurgle gurgle.

Green didn't hesitate, he tilted his head back and drank it down.

After another round of twitching, Green gradually stabilized and finally became an extraordinary person.

"Hey! Green, why do I feel like you've gotten taller?"

Edwards looked at Green in surprise.

Russell looked over and indeed felt that he was taller, and not only that, his body also seemed a lot stronger.

"Okay, you are all Beyonders now. Aren't you ready to learn more about the Beyonders' mystical knowledge?"

Russell rubbed his hands and asked as he looked at the two of them.

"Roselle, you will be an adult the day after tomorrow, a gentleman. Shouldn't you regard money as dirt?"

Edwards said speechlessly.

"Tsk! Can a gentleman get me a promotion? But money can!"

Russell waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

By the way, I haven't made any preparations for my coming-of-age ceremony the day after tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but feel a headache.

Chapter 30 Coming of Age Ceremony

Inside the house, Russell came to the full-length mirror and carefully adjusted his clothes.

Today is Roselle's eighteenth birthday. For the nobles of Intis, this will be a day of great significance.

"Luckily, my father had already prepared everything for my coming-of-age ceremony, otherwise I would have become a laughing stock among the Trier aristocracy."

Roselle sighed and said that it was a pleasant thing to have a reliable father, but Roselle was inevitably scolded by Baron Gustav.

"Hi! Handsome guy!"

Roselle smiled and greeted himself in the mirror, then turned and left the room, walking towards the hall where the coming-of-age ceremony was held. By this time, the guests had already arrived.

Russell walked through the hall, looking at the guests coming and going, smiling at them from time to time.

"Handsome! Russell, you really look very handsome tonight, only slightly less handsome than me!"

Edwards joked when he saw Russell coming over.

"Edwards, I am the protagonist today. Everyone else will be overshadowed by my brilliance!"

Russell raised his brows slightly and said bluntly.

"Edwards, you can't win the argument with Russell."

Green was holding a ceramic plate and eating as he spoke.

"Roselle, this pastry of yours is really good!"

As he spoke, Green stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth.

Russell looked at the pastries on Green's plate, which he had made earlier.

As a food lover, Roselle couldn't stand the bland food here, so he studied food by combining some of the food from his previous life.

The pastry in Green's hand is one of Russell's research results. Russell named it "Ma Da Gun"!

"Well, don't stay here with the two of us. You are destined to be busy today!"

Green pointed to Baron Gustav not far away and said to Roselle.

"Then I won't accompany you! You two can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Roselle walked towards Baron Gustav.

"This is my son, Roselle Gustav!"

Baron Gustav saw Roselle coming over and happily introduced him to the person next to him.

"What a handsome man! I have reason to believe that the Gustav family will regain its glory!"

A well-dressed middle-aged man beside Baron Gustav praised.

"Haha! Mr. Viscount, you are too kind!"

Baron Gustav smiled and said to Roselle:

"This gentleman is Viscount Drilose, and this one is Viscount Drilose's wife, Ms. Dumel!"

Oh! This is Viscount Drilose! Eliza's father!

Roselle suddenly realized what was going on and greeted Viscount Drilose enthusiastically, thanking him for his compliment.

Then Russell turned his gaze to Ms. Dumel and his eyes suddenly lit up.

She has fair skin, eyebrows as dark as spring mountains, pupils as sharp as autumn water, and her eyebrows and eyes reveal an indescribable charm.

She is worthy of being the one who gave birth to a beauty like Eliza, amazing!

"It can be seen that Russell is an extremely cultured gentleman! And he is about the same age as Eliza!"

Mrs. Dumel put Roselle and Eliza together, as if trying to bring them together.

"It depends on Miss Eliza's wishes!"

Russell declined.

Are you kidding? God knows how many mistresses Eliza has in secret. If he marries her, will Roselle ever need green paint in the future?

"Let's talk about this later. After all, Roselle has just come of age! Roselle, have you chosen your faith?"

Viscount Drilose interrupted.

"I believe that the great God of Craftsmen is the one who deserves my whole heart!"

This was decided long ago. If I were a peripheral member of the Mechanical Heart and ended up believing in the Eternal Sun, I would probably end up being hammered to death by the God of Craftsmen.

"Alas! What a pity! Eternal Blazing Sun is also a very good choice, but we will respect your choice!"

Viscount Delillos felt a little sorry that Roselle did not choose the Eternal Sun that he believed in. It seemed that he was indeed a devout believer!

"Roselle, remember to entertain the other guests!"

Baron Gustav warned.

According to aristocratic etiquette, the person who is about to become an adult should entertain the guests at the coming-of-age ceremony.

This means that the person has matured and is able to handle various things independently and deal with emergencies, which is also regarded as a manifestation of ability.

However, those invited to the coming-of-age ceremony are all people with close relationships, so generally no one will deliberately make things difficult for the host family.

Roselle even wondered if Alyosha would come and cause trouble during his coming-of-age ceremony, relying on the fact that he was the son of a count to bully the Gustav family.

Then Rosell fought back strongly again, slapping Alyosha in the face, causing him to leave in disgrace, winning praise from everyone and finally becoming famous in Trier.

While Russell was reading a pretentious and embarrassing novel in his mind and dealing with the guests coming and going, he accidentally discovered that Ms. Dumel was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Strange? Why is she looking at me like that? Is she attracted to me?"

Russell thought uncertainly.

"Alas! Being handsome is the original sin!"

After thinking about it, Roselle decided not to provoke this woman. After all, Viscount Delillose was watching not far away!

However, just as Russell was about to leave, Ms. Dumel actually walked towards him with her slender waist twisted.

What does this woman want to do?

"Mr. Russell, are you interested in talking to me?"

Ms. Dumer's flaming red lips curled up slightly, and she exuded a charming aura.

"Talk...about what?"

Russell swallowed and tried hard to control his desire.

"Let's talk about the coming-of-age ceremony!"

At this moment, Dumel was like a bottle of aged wine, exuding a charm that Roselle could not resist.

But Roselle is an extraordinary person after all, and he can still resist this temptation.

"This… isn't good!"

Roselle looked at Viscount Delillose not far away and signaled Ms. Dumel to be careful and not to be discovered by Viscount Delillose.

"Hehe! Follow me!"

Ms. Dumel smiled, winked at Russell, and walked out of the hall first.

...

"Mr. Luo Ermo, according to the regulations, I should have no tasks next!"

Although it was a question, there was a hint of danger in Alyosha's eyes.

Lorme raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to Alyosha and said:

"Of course, according to the regulations, you can take five days off next."

"snort!"

Alyosha didn't give Lormo any face and turned away.

"Oh! I really tried my best!"

Watching Alyosha's back disappear at the door, Luo Ermo sighed helplessly.

Although he is Alyosha's immediate superior, there is nothing he can do about it, because he is the count's eldest son and has a more powerful backing!

Throughout the entire eighth game, except for those Sequence 5 and demigods, no one else gave Alyosha some face.

Although I also have a backer, and it is a more powerful secret order, I can't just publicize here that I am a member of the secret order!

If that happened, I think there would be a high probability that I would be pinned to the ground.

Outside the door, Alyosha looked back at Lormo's office, his eyes flickering.

"Why did this guy suddenly think of coming to the eighth inning? And he even assigned me such a task. Is it a coincidence?"

Alyosha keenly sensed something was wrong and temporarily suppressed the urge to retaliate against Roselle immediately.

After this mission was completed, Alyosha had accumulated enough merits to exchange for the Sequence 7 potion formula, so Alyosha planned to be promoted to Sequence 7 first.
