After getting the Malz family's address from Mr. Parker, Lex walked to the east side of the hall and found Kaven.
"Do you have time tomorrow?"
Lex sat down.
The Seer, who was petting a cat, replied, "Of course."
"Then be my assistant," Lex said, explaining the commission. "I think for events like this, it's better to have you Seers along."
"No problem," Kaven readily agreed.
"Alright then, we'll meet here tomorrow morning." Lex glanced at the blue cat. "It's not a magical animal, is it?"
Kaven chuckled, "No, I don't have that much money to raise a magical animal."
Lex smiled, "If you don't let them advance, even magical animals don't cost much."
"I'll head back now, good night."
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning, after waking up, Lex stood in the center of the room, held both hands out flat, and began to summon the 'mysterious book'.
After the room's color deepened, he felt a heavy sensation between his hands. He looked up, and the thick, glowing, illusory tome had appeared in his hands.
Lex noticed that on the book's cover, the knowledge authority had changed from the original 8 to the current 7.
"Hmm, now I can confirm that the knowledge authority changes with my advancement. I'll check the previous messages later; I should be able to read more information."
At this moment, the pages turned naturally to the 'Artisan of Mysteries' page. Lex saw that the dimensional crystal had increased significantly.
There were now 1272 of them.
Record.
'H. PLovectaft laughed and said, "I'm rooting for you!" and generously tipped 21666 dimensional coins, which have been automatically converted into 216 dimensional crystal.'
'The cat who got rich by reselling salted fish generously gave you a salted fish and tipped another 10000 dimensional coins.'
'Ting liked your post and tipped another 2300 dimensional coins.'
'Oak excitedly danced and tipped 2000 dimensional coins.'
'Gwyndolinn greeted you and tipped 1500 dimensional coins.'
'Liu Yufeng, whose fist shakes the world, invited you to practice boxing and tipped 1500 dimensional coins.'
'Witness of Glory awarded you a certificate of glory and tipped 1500 dimensional coins.'
'I, Aredes haha, want to ask you a question and tipped 1000 dimensional coins.'
In addition to these Watchers, there was also support from other Observers such as 'Success is up to man, wealth is up to heaven', 'Come hit me haha', 'Deep Blue Aria', 'Zhen Xuanxi', and 'Zishen Qingtian'.
Every time he saw so many Observers paying attention to him and supporting him, Lex was happy and full of gratitude.
If it weren't for the support of so many Observers, he might have lost his life in one of his previous adventures.
Turning the page, Lex suddenly saw that the 'Creation' item in 'Artisan of Mysteries' was now usable!
Creation: Able to create items and various creatures, requiring the consumption of dimensional crystal and corresponding materials, and is affected by knowledge authority. The higher the authority, the more Advanced the created items and creatures will be.
Ah, this...
It could actually create items and various creatures; 'Artisan of Mysteries' even had such an ability!
Lex then thought, what can I create now?
At this moment, a few lines of information appeared below the page.
'Universal Key: It can open any door in a realistic sense, requiring a key containing spirituality, an Apprentice characteristic, or a Star Gem.'
'Calm Observation Glasses: Using them, one can calmly observe the facial expressions of people around them and interpret their psychological activities. This requires the eyes of an adult Manhar fish or a Spectator's beyonder characteristics, and a pair of ordinary glasses.'
'spirit world treasure chest (Spirit Realm Creature): This is a Spirit Realm creature that looks like a treasure chest. You can use it to store items and can retrieve and store them at any time. It requires one spiritual crystal, any beyonder characteristics, a finely crafted ordinary wooden box, 100 gold coins, and the consumption of 208 dimensional crystal.'
'Sleeping Charms.'
spirit world treasure chest? Isn't this the Beyonder version of a portable pocket?
Lex was delighted; his pile of things finally had a place to go!
But he was troubled again.
Other materials were fine, but what was that spiritual crystal? He didn't seem to have this Material on hand.
He could only ask around later.
Lex turned back to the previous message board page and found some old messages from Observers. He discovered that he could indeed read more information than before.
For example, regarding the full path full Sequence message, Lex could now see the names of the Sequence 4 potions, which made him feel much more Advanced.
Just based on this message, just knowing the names of the full path Sequence 4 potions, his standing was elevated quite a bit.
Another example was the following message: previously, when Lex saw it, much of the content was blocked, but now he could read most of the information.
'Melancholy Pancake: Always feel that the Black Emperor and Judges pathways are incomplete. One represents order, the other represents the shadow under order, which doesn't match their source material ( ).'
Although some information was still blocked, it was much better than before.
When the authority gets higher, he should be able to read the complete content!
End summon.
Lex exhaled. After advancing, the 'Creation' function of 'Artisan of Mysteries' became usable, meaning that in the future, he would be able to achieve more comprehensive improvements.
However, due to the influence of authority, there were not many things he could create yet, but the 'spirit world treasure chest' was very practical. If he could create it, he would be able to adjust the magical items on him anytime, anywhere, as needed.
In high spirits, Lex had breakfast, then returned to his bedroom to use ''Devil May Cry'' to make a pot of holy water and put his katana into a scroll tube, intending to carry it with him.
From Mr. Parker's words yesterday, it seemed the banker's daughter had likely attracted an unclean spirit, which was why Lex prepared holy water and his katana.
A Hunter does not hunt unprepared.
After meeting the Seer Kaven at the club, Lex and Kaven went together to the client's home.
Banker Malz's residence in Tingen City was located in the Golden Banyan District. After showing their identities, Lex and Kaven were invited into the living room, where they met Mr. and Mrs. Malz.
Malz was a middle-aged man nearing fifty, with thinning but still dark hair. There were already some faint brown spots on his face and hands, and his skin was slightly sagging. He was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, looking somewhat fatigued, as if he had been worried sick over his daughter's recent issues.
His wife was clearly much younger, only around thirty, wearing an elaborate and luxurious court gown, with a noble and dignified demeanor, like an aristocrat.
She sat next to Malz, occasionally observing Lex, a subtle smile playing on her lips.
Looking at Lex, Malz cleared his throat and said, "We were truly at our wits' end, so we followed a friend's advice to seek out your Airos Security Company."
"But if you intend to fool me and think you can make a profit from me, you'd best abandon that idea now."
"Now, tell me, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Lex showed a calm smile: "I hope to meet your Miss first. I cannot offer any solutions without an initial conversation."
Malz and his younger wife exchanged glances, then nodded, "Alright, follow me. Isabella should be awake by now."
"But I have one condition: I must be present during your conversation."
To prevent you from doing anything strange to my daughter.
Of course, Mr. Malz did not say this sentence aloud.
"No problem."
Lex stood up and smiled, "Please lead the way."
The Miss named Isabella lived in the living room of the second house. As they approached her bedroom, Kaven, who had been silent, suddenly stopped.
Lex looked at him and saw Kaven's eyes turn deep and dark: "There's something in the room, something bad!"
At the same time, a woman's scream echoed from the bedroom ahead.
