Stone chairs dotted with different symbols are evenly distributed on both sides of the mottled stone table. Gray-white pillars stand next to each other, supporting the high dome. Surrounded by gray mist, Klein raised his hands, and his spirituality extending to the sky touched the hollow dome.
The crimson stars flashing freely in the center, and several illusory figures instantly condensed on the corresponding seats.
"Good afternoon~, Mr. Fool."
Yesterday, I contacted the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society again, and got a hint from Miss Yin Silant whether the formula and potion of the "audience" were needed, which made Miss Justice happy to further complete the mission of Mr. Fool.
My mood has improved a lot.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
Klein nodded slightly, and Audrey, who received the response, also followed her habit and looked at the members beside her and opposite her.
Little "Sun" Derrick, who had not been assigned to explore since the Loholid incident, nodded shyly. "The Hanged Man" Alger, who was sitting next to him, looked quite nervous and asked inconspicuously.
Mr. Fool glanced tentatively.
Mr. "The Hanged Man" is observing Mr. "The Fool"'s attitude?
Audrey followed the gaze of "The Hanged Man" and suddenly saw that the corner of the table where notes, "specimens" and other things were neatly placed in Mr. Fool's hand had a complicated and gorgeous pattern on the back.
card.
The card was placed upside down in the upper left corner of the unknown note and was placed in the most conspicuous position.
Scattered memories surged from the depths of her mind, but Audrey could never find the missing piece of the puzzle. She subconsciously glanced behind her, holding the familiar word that was close to her mouth.
The sharp gaze of the "audience" looking back happened to capture the gradually burning shock and shake in the eyes of "The Hanged Man" Alger, as well as the fear of the unknown future.
What did Mr. "The Hanged Man" guess, and why was his emotion so complicated... Audrey watched the roller coaster-like emotional changes of "The Hanged Man", and her heart was carefully concealed. It belonged to the little girl.
Little by little, his tenderness and curiosity emerged from the soil.
Blasphemy card?
Which card is the "blasphemous card"?
Alger, who had been listening to relevant rumors for several years in his Beyonder career, suppressed the trembling of his hands and legs, nervously suppressed the moisture in his throat, and tried hard not to think about whether it was the "blasphemy" with that sequence engraved on it.
Card".
As the only two members at the long table who noticed the card, "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" looked at each other. In the puzzled eyes of the remaining members of "The Sun" and "Magician", they all looked at each other.
Toward the "world" at the end.
Sure enough, "The Hanged Man" must have noticed the "blasphemous card"... Klein, who watched all the changes in the expressions of the members below, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the "World" below responded slightly slowly to welcome that
Two burning gazes.
"It's the 'blasphemous card'. It's the item I brought back according to the order of Mr. Fool."
"The Card of Blasphemy"?
Except for "Sun", who had heard this term before but didn't react immediately, all the remaining members were stunned in place, regardless of whether they had some guesses in their minds.
Wait, is this the "blasphemous card" that Mr. World brought back?
Forsi, who stayed in the gray fog for nearly an hour yesterday but still failed to discover the new treasure on Mr. Fool's table, grasped the key that Klein deliberately revealed and couldn't help but breathe a lot heavier.
If I remember correctly, the extraordinary materials Mr. "World" purchased before were only at the mid-sequence level... Seeing that the most mature and stable "Hanged Man" and the thoughtful Miss Justice didn't even speak, Foer
Siye suppressed his excitement and quietly pulled his friend who was looking at the card in a daze.
After a moment of silence, when Derrick "The Sun" found the meaning of the unfamiliar word "blasphemous card" in his memory, Alger, who had been pondering for a long time, turned to face the top leader and said in a low voice:
"Great Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you."
Klein, who was surrounded by gray mist, thought for a moment and nodded pretending not to care.
"The Hanged Man" Alger quietly took a breath and continued:
"I received an order from His Highness Edmund to monitor and investigate the movements of the Rhostead Islands resistance forces and 'Poseidon' Kavitua."
"Dear Mr. Fool, do you have any other instructions regarding Kavitua?"
He carefully raised his slightly lowered head, just in time to see Mr. Fool casually leaning on his back.
"Poseidon" Kavitua, who is this?
Klein searched his memory and suddenly discovered that he had never heard of the so-called "Poseidon".
However, since it is called "Poseidon", it should correspond to the "Storm" sequence... A figure surrounded by lightning and full of cracks gradually became clearer. When I thought that it was the "mysterious" angel under the seat...
As for the specially assigned task, Klein had some suspicions about it.
"Just follow Edmund's plan."
Klein, who was at the top, nodded slightly, then left Alger and turned to look at Miss Justice who was eager to try.
"Mr. Fool, I have two pages of Russell's diary to hand in."
Seeing the gaze of "The Fool", Audrey sat upright and sincerely handed over the notes that she had already memorized.
Thinking that there would be nothing gained this week, Klein, who was slightly surprised, waved his hand, and two diaries with different handwriting flew into his palm in an instant.
Sure enough, Miss Justice, who has a strong family background, has easier access to such items than other members. It’s great to have money... Klein looked down with relief, but the smile at the corner of his mouth visibly stiffened.
.
The first line of the diary reads:
"March 6th, damn, the food here makes me almost constipated!"
Ah, the familiar distribution, the familiar smell... Before turning the page, Klein, who had already vaguely guessed the content of the next page, turned the page expressionlessly.
"March 7th..."
Snapped.
The majestic Mr. Fool almost placed the two pieces of paper on the table, struggled to control his expression, and smiled again.
Obstructed by the thick gray mist, he glanced at Miss Justice with expectation hidden in her eyes. The smile he had just made had a more bitter meaning. He felt soft for a moment and had to turn his attention to the two "waste" pictures again.
"Paper", while recalling the various scandals about Emperor Russell in his mind, he silently counted dozens of seconds, then put down his hands and looked up.
"What do you hope to get in exchange for these two diaries?"
Who makes the character of "The Fool" respect equal transactions?
When Audrey saw the opportunity, she didn't hesitate at all and said directly:
"Mr. Fool, I want to know which sequence of God is contained in that 'blasphemous card'?"
Klein, whose heart was bleeding, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a calm smile:
"This is a 'Black Emperor' card, and the corresponding sequence 9 is 'Lawyer'."
After saying that, he looked in the direction of "Judgment" Xio as if there was no difference, and said meaningfully:
"'Lawyer' and 'arbitrator' are adjacent sequences."
Xio, who had always felt a mysterious attraction since he first noticed the card, pursed his lips, then faced everyone's gaze and took a deep breath.
After this brief interlude, no one submitted Russell's diary again, and Klein had to announce that it would enter the free exchange stage in advance.
As soon as the private exchange ended, "Magician" Forsi couldn't wait to look at everyone, especially "The World", "The Hanged Man", who was very well-connected, and "The Sun" who basically lived among the monsters.
.
"Everyone, I would like to purchase the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Master of Magic', or the stomach bag of the soul eater, and 20 ml of blood from the deep sea marlin." Forsi looked at the members opposite and paused for a moment.
She did not mention the remaining auxiliary materials. The auxiliary materials corresponding to the "Master of Magic" are relatively common. Many of them are not even extraordinary materials and can be found in ordinary pharmacies.
Finally, Derrick "The Sun" broke the silence and spoke the first words of this afternoon.
"Miss Magician, I know where the soul eater's stomach is, but deep-sea marlin, we have no sea in Silver City."
The little "Sun" with a slightly apologetic face shook his head before telling the following content about the reward.
"If I remember correctly, the 'Master of Magic' should correspond to Sequence 8. I hope you can help me find the formula for Sequence 7 of the 'Sun' pathway."
"But the recipe for Sequence Seven is a little more than twice the price of the Soul Eater's stomach bag." Forsi replied subconsciously.
Derrick "The Sun" was stunned for a moment, and then, with the others watching, he tried:
"I can give you two."
Give me two, what do I need two for?
"Magician" Forsi thought it was a little funny at first, but subconsciously thought that this was an attempt to humiliate himself.
But after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly remembered the living environment where the "sun" was located, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
According to "Sun"'s description, they probably don't even have the most basic understanding of currency, and they still follow the barter transaction method. So, giving me two is indeed a very kind way to deal with it.
However, understanding is understanding, but Forsi still couldn't use the stomach bags of two soul eaters, so he could only patiently explain:
"I only need one main material. Maybe I can help you find other rewards, such as extraordinary items or weapons."
"I can be responsible for helping you pay attention to the blood of deep-sea marlin. This kind of material is not uncommon at sea." Alger, the "Hanged Man" who had been silent all this time, suddenly intervened forcefully into the conversation between the two, "As for eating souls
The person's stomach bag..."
He paused for a moment, obviously he didn't have a good way to deal with it.
After all, after being promoted to "Windwinder", he can also obtain the next series of potion formulas from His Highness Edmund, and the corresponding materials for "Ocean Singer" cannot appear in Silver City.
But... Alger suddenly looked at the "world" that had remained silent.
"I remember that 'The World' should hold the formula of 'Sun Priest'. You can consider asking 'The Sun' to help you find suitable extraordinary items. Plus the soul eater's stomach bag should be exactly equal to the market price of 'Sun Priest'.
"
But I may not have enough money... Forsi also looked at the "world" that was as silent as a statue, and hesitated for a while whether he should accept this plan.
Realistically speaking, this plan has the highest success rate. If it goes well, maybe I can be promoted to Sequence Eight next Monday.
But I don't seem to need extraordinary items very much... Forsi's eyes wandered, and he looked to the right without any confidence, only to see Xio, who was obscured by gray fog and had a dull face, watching silently.
I felt something in my heart.
"Mr. World, is the potion formula of 'Sun Priest' worth 800 pounds?"
Forsi looked at this mysterious member, feeling a little timid for a moment, and everyone else also looked at the key to this transaction.
After an unbearable silence, just when Forsi was about to give up, "The World", whose whole body was covered in black robes, let out a laugh.
"Can."
"But I need cash."
Eight hundred pounds... Forsi, whose total savings now only amounted to over eight hundred and seventy pounds, twitched the corner of his mouth in pain, and immediately looked back at "The Sun", making a request that slightly surprised the other members.
"I will give you the formula of the 'Sun Priest' first. You only need to prepare the soul eater's stomach bag first. As for the other materials, we will inform you after we get the 'Sheriff'."
Ignoring Xiu's surprised gaze beside him, Forsi spoke quickly:
"Of course, if you know the recipe of 'Sheriff', you can also prepare it in advance."
She didn't have much hope that "The Sun" would happen to know the main information about "The Sheriff", but she was hesitant about the honesty expressed by the other party before.
I just relied on the other party's previous good reputation and immature acting style, and started to make some tricks.
Not noticing the little emotion between Miss Magician and Miss Judgment, Derrick agreed without even thinking about it.
"No problem. If there are materials corresponding to the 'sheriff' near Silver City, I will prepare them."
With the promise of the "sun", this transaction has basically come to an end. All we have to do is wait for the results of the next Tarot session.
After waiting for a few seconds, just when everyone thought that nothing happened today, Klein finally concentrated on manipulating the spiritual thread, controlling the "world" and said in a low voice with that hoarse voice:
"I need the mutated pituitary gland and blood of the Thousand Faced Hunter, as well as the characteristics of the human skin shadow, and the hair of the Deep Sea Naga."
He focused mainly on "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun".
There is no other reason. The Deep Sea Naga is an extraordinary creature on the sea. The Hanged Man, who is half a pirate, is definitely easier to get.
The human-skin shadow and the Thousand-faced Hunter, a subspecies of dragon that are basically extinct on the mainland, are obviously more likely to be encountered in Silver City, which is surrounded by barbarism and weirdness.
Although I haven't made much money recently, taking into account the "Sun Priest" attribute that Miss "Magician" just ordered, plus the money I earned from Emlyn in the past two days, I can basically barely buy what I need for Sequence Six.
main material.
Thinking about his own small treasury, the gloomy "World" raised his head slightly. In the darkness hidden by the black hood, his sharp features slowly evoked a stiff smile, and his dark brown eyes reflected the dome.
Falling red light.
