Chapter 49 – Friendship from the fortune teller

The clown Oredy's loss of control is actually quite serious.

The small bumps on his arm, like living flesh buds, slowly and irregularly move under the skin.

"Why is it so serious?"

Oredy helplessly pulled up his sleeve to cover the out-of-control part again. He said heavily, "It's not just my arm. This loss of control has gradually spread to my whole body. There are also these movable flesh buds on my back and chest. Fortunately, they are not very active, and the pain they cause is within a controllable range."

Su Li pondered and looked at Oredy, asking, "Before treatment, I need to know the root cause of the loss of control. Only then can I treat you."

Oredy hesitated for a moment and took out an old account book from his pocket.

The front of the account book had torn off many pages, revealing the part written in traditional ancient Hermes language, "Fuxisak Bank Loan Department." Below it were loan information and the borrower's signature. The paper had turned yellow, indicating its age.

"It is this seal that caused the loss of control. Its function is quite comprehensive, allowing temporary borrowing of any ability. However, the side effects are significant."

Su Li curiously looked at this seal. From its appearance, it didn't seem to have any special features. He could only infer from the bank information printed on the back of the account book that it should be a relic from the previous era, before the birth of the Valerian Kingdom.

"The seal of the Patterson family is quite powerful. What kind of power did you borrow to escape from the underground tomb?"

Returning the seal to Oredy, Su Li looked at this clown with a smiling face and asked.

The clown Oredy didn't hide anything and said helplessly, "I borrowed the transcendent ability through the divination method, the ability of the ancient scholar in Sequence Three, and escaped from the historical gap."

After speaking, Oredy lamented, "I suffered a big loss this time. I used several seals to offset the damage and reduce it to an acceptable range. Now I am completely broke."

Su Li exclaimed, "With this seal, you can borrow powers from high-level sequences?"

The clown Oredy calmly said, "As long as I can afford the debt, I can boldly borrow. However, the price is quite high. It's like risking my life and losing everything I have. I even thought about using my spring gun to offset the damage."

Su Li nodded. The side effects of the seal could not be completely offset.

"If you can help me recover, I don't mind giving you a few loan papers."

Oredy's words brightened Su Li's eyes, and he asked eagerly, "Can you give me five?"

"Just three, no more!"

"Deal." Su Li quickly agreed.

He originally thought he could only get one at most, but he didn't expect this Sequence Seven magician to be so generous.

Oredy took a sip of hot water and sat up straight, saying solemnly, "Let's start now. The feeling of loss of control is unbearable."

The tearing of the soul indeed made people feel weak. The continuous headache, drowsiness, and other reactions were much more severe than a heavy cold. As a soul healer, Su Li was quite skilled in dealing with this kind of tearing.

"Get ready, I'm going to start chanting."

Su Li recalled the hymn "Requiem" sung by the Black Night Church choir. Then he hummed a melodious melody. It was a simple lullaby that sounded like a lullaby.

The quiet "night" gradually enveloped the clown Oredy. He heard the melodious chirping of summer crickets, the slow dripping of water pipes into the spring, and felt the gentle evening breeze brushing against the curtains. He felt himself lying peacefully on a bed...

Gradually, Oredy's soul felt calm. The erratic flesh buds on his body began to shrink, and the chaotic spirituality gradually calmed down.

Su Li's soft humming seemed endless, but Oredy didn't find it monotonous. Instead, he felt like he was lying in his mother's arms when he was a child, or sitting on the rooftop with his beloved, gazing at the stars.

After finishing the song, Su Li wiped off the sweat from his forehead. This was not just a simple chant, but the infusion of transcendent power belonging to the night into the sound.

"Very good, your soul is quite resilient, which allowed you to recover quickly."

Su Li's magnetic voice broke the darkness, and the surroundings returned to the simple living room. The light from the street lamps outside shone through the windows. Unknowingly, an hour had passed, and true dusk had arrived. Oredy suddenly woke up, as if he had been liberated from a heavy hangover and exhaustion.

With a radiant expression, he clasped his hands on his knees and formally thanked, "You are a true gentleman. In that state just now, you had every opportunity to kill me and take away my wealth and extraordinary characteristics."

"But you didn't. Your nobility deserves my true acceptance."

Su Li smiled knowingly. He was not a criminal who plundered wealth, so of course he wouldn't take lives.

Oredy readily tore off three check papers and said to Su Li, "The way to use this seal is to write the accurate transcendent sequence ability and then use your mind to control the infusion of spirituality into the paper."

"Note that this is not always effective. So far, I have found it difficult to borrow transcendent powers from the path of the Seven Gods."

"After using a loan paper, there needs to be a gap of more than a day. Otherwise, the continuous backlash suffered is likely to directly take away the soul."

Su Li suddenly understood. No wonder. If one could really borrow any ability, that would be too powerful. Oredy could completely eliminate his own risks.

"What about the repayment method?" Su Li asked.

"It's not limited to items. As long as it's a sealed object with extraordinary characteristics, including extraordinary features and materials, you just need to hold the Transcendent object and silently say: I want to repay Mr. Kamos! The more valuable the item you give, the better the repayment effect."

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Oredy's mouth.

He leaned back comfortably on the sofa and said to Su Li:

"If you had just had a malicious thought, you would never be able to truly use this sealed object, then the consequences..."

Su Li felt a chill run down his spine. This almost meant that if he only borrowed and never repaid, the backlash he would face could be something he was completely unable to resist.

Su Li took the three checks from Oredy and smiled, "Pleasure doing business."

Oredy echoed, "Pleasure doing business! If you ever need anything, especially if it involves making money and there's a reward, you can contact me anytime. Of course, as my friend, you can also ask me for simple divinations."

"This is free, as a privilege for my friends."

Su Li felt warmed by Oredy's friendliness and felt that his trip here was worthwhile.

He said, "If you ever have any soul-related issues, you can also come to me. By the way! How should we keep in touch? We can't always visit each other, can we?"

Hearing Su Li's question, Oredy was surprised. He asked, "Haven't you joined the Psychic Alchemy Association? We can communicate in the Sea of Psychic Network."

Su Li scratched his head and candidly said, "Last time was my first time joining the Sea of Psychic Network, I'm not very familiar with how to use it."

The latter readily said, "It's not complicated, I can teach you right now."
