Above the mysterious Gray Fog, a series of deep Red Light lights flashed, and three illusory figures gradually appeared beside the long bronze table and took their seats.
Mr. Fool seems to have been sitting at the top of the long table, with his right hand on the edge of the table and tapping his fingers on the table casually. When he saw a few people arriving, he stopped what he was doing.
"Mr. Fool, Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, good afternoon everyone."
Angel waited for a moment, but Justice, who is usually the first to say hello, did not speak, so she took the lead in sending greetings to other Tarot Club members.
Fool and Hanged Man also responded to greetings as usual.
At this time, Miss Justice spoke timidly, as if she were a timid girl who had not yet taken Potion, rather than "Spectator" who had already stepped into the ranks of Beyonder.
"Mr. Fool, and everyone, I want to know, what would happen if a pet, let's say a pet dog, got Beyonder Ability... I mean, what could it do for its owner?"
The pet dog gets Beyonder Ability... an extraordinary dog?
Angel felt that the atmosphere of Tarot Club today was a little different, and Miss Justice's first question was beyond her knowledge.
Hanged Man was also a little confused. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Mr. Fool, then at Angel, and finally his eyes returned to Justice.
Angel also cast her gaze to her side. Although she couldn't see the movements of Mr. Fool hiding behind Gray Fog, she believed that the other party must be doing the same.
The heavy gazes of the three people made Miss Justice lower his head.
"I... I asked for my friend..."
Her voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.
Angel Remembering Tarot Club before, Justice also asked a similar question: What would happen if a dog drank Sequence 9's Potion.
Considering the current situation of Miss Justice, it is easy to imagine that her pet dog has successfully survived the risk of losing control after taking Potion and became a Beyonder Creature.
Have a pet dog with "Spectator" Beyonder Ability?
Angel looked away with difficulty, otherwise she would have imagined "Spectator" Miss, who was next to her with her head down and her legs propped up in shame, as a silly golden retriever dog.
Finally, the kind-hearted Hanged Man spoke up, breaking the embarrassing silence on the bronze table.
"A pet that becomes Beyonder Creature should gain the corresponding ability of Sequence. Assuming it is a 'Spectator', then it can help you observe others from another angle, and even eavesdrop on conversations on your behalf in certain situations where it is not appropriate to appear."
"And after becoming Beyonder Creature, it will also have enough intelligence to communicate with you and tell you information."
Mr. Hanged Man, why did you use Spectator as an example and refer to "you" and "you"? Didn't you notice that Miss Justice's head almost dropped under the table?
"Thank... thank you, Mr. Hanged Man, I understand."
After lowering his head in silence for a long time, Justice raised his head again and expressed his gratitude to Hanged Man for his answer.
"Mr. Fool, I found a page of Emperor Roselle's Diary again."
Taking advantage of the time of writing the diary, Justice finally stopped being shy and uneasy. She looked left and right and found that no one else had submitted a new diary this time. She seemed a little proud and waved her fist under the table, which was clearly seen by Angel on the side.
Then came the usual Mr. Fool reading time. He lowered his head and read the only page of the diary carefully. About five minutes later, the sound of tapping the table with his knuckles was heard.
"You can start communicating now."
In fact, haven't we already communicated just now... Angel thought secretly, and then spoke to Justice.
"Miss Justice, can I withdraw the 1,000 pounds I have temporarily deposited with you in the near future?"
These were the two 500-pound rewards that Justice promised to pay when she answered "Acting Method" and Justice's questions about major secret organizations. Hanged Man also had 500 pounds, but he provided a transaction method at that time and took the money away.
"No problem, I can pay at any time. Would you like to provide a shipping location or use a bank account to conduct the transaction?"
"Use a bank account. I'll give you an account. Just put the money in and I'll take the time to withdraw it."
The banking industry in this era relied on the popularity of wired telegraphs, and it was already possible to conduct cross-regional settlements within one day. Money was deposited in the bank in Trier, the capital of Intis, in the morning, and it could be withdrawn in Backlund in the Kingdom of Loen in the afternoon.
Angel bought Beyonder Characteristic of "Instigator" at Enmat Harbor, and in order to buy gifts for Klein and investigate clues about the "Red Chimney", he has spent almost all the cash on him She spent all the money, and considering that she would soon have to pay the private Detective's employment fee and prepare Potion materials for "Witch", she decided to withdraw all the 1,000 pounds "deposited" with Miss Justice.
Although setting up a bank account, depositing and withdrawing money in Tarot Club somewhat lowered the style of the meeting, I really have no money...
He secretly glanced at Mr. Fool who was sitting upright and found that the other party didn't say anything to stop him. Angel breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, she found that the parchment and pen used for one-to-one transactions had appeared in front of her.
Praise Fool!
Angel was overjoyed. It seemed that Mr. Fool didn't care about such trivial matters and would even provide convenience for everyone.
Recalling the bearer account she opened at the Tingen City branch of Backlund Bank in the morning, she took a pen and wrote the bank name and the unique account number on the parchment, rolled it into a roll, and handed it to Miss Justice beside her.
This kind of bearer account can be deposited as long as it has an account name, and it can be withdrawn with a password, which is very safe for both parties to the transaction.
The latter took it, lowered his head and memorized it silently for a few seconds, then raised his head and said to Angel:
"No problem, I've already remembered it. I will deposit the 1,000 pounds into this account as soon as possible after today's meeting."
Thank you, generous Miss Justice!
Angel praised in his heart.
After the cash transaction was completed, the meeting quickly turned to the exchange of intelligence.
Miss Justice will ask many questions in every meeting, and the other two people, even Mr. Fool, will answer them. This time she asked for clues about "Arbiter" Potion, and some kind of Beyonder Ability that could go directly through the wooden door.
"Arbiter"... This is recorded in Nighthawks's internal documents. Just as Angel was about to answer the "financier" who helped her get out of abject poverty, Hanged Man had already spoken first.
"I can answer you, and in exchange, you have to help me investigate something."
Hanged Man also made his request, asking Justice to investigate whether King and George III of Loen will retaliate against the Feysac Empire in the near future and start a new war with Balam of the Southern Continent.
Miss Justice mentioned that after the failure of the Balam East Coast war, the kingdom's senior officials were under pressure from many parties... It seems that Hanged Man thinks that Justice may be the descendant of a high-ranking person in the kingdom, or at least have access to that level?
Angel watched the two people complete the transaction. Miss Justice also changed his previous image of not being fond of bargaining and asked Hanged Man to pay an extra price for his request.
It seems that Justice is also slowly growing up... unlike the little girl before who had a huge amount of money but was ignorant of the world.
Angel sighed, suddenly feeling that his position in Tarot Club was somewhat precarious.
Hanged Man is rich in knowledge and has broad connections; Justice is from a well-off family and has strong financial resources; Mr. Fool, as the organizer of Tarot Club, has unfathomable strength...
Only he was promoted to Sequence 8 and almost died in Enmat Harbor. Within Nighthawks, he was only the most basic member. Except for a part of the memory inherited from Cole Granger, there was almost nothing that could be traded.
Watching the transaction between Justice and Hanged Man, and cautiously asking Mr. Fool if he could join other organizations in order to obtain materials and information, Angel had a thought in his mind.
"Mr. Fool, if I find other Beyonder who are suitable for Tarot Club, can I guide them to join here?"
She thought of her colleague, Klein Moretti, who also had a secret and whose strength increased like a rocket.
If he is also included in Tarot Club, it will be of great help to him and me, right? It can also alleviate the feeling of being pushed further and further away from others...
Thinking of this, Angel raised the corner of his mouth, but thinking that Mr. Fool and other members were staring at him, he quickly calmed down his emotions and made a serious expression.
Grey Fog Space was silent for a moment, and just when Angel thought that Fool was dissatisfied with such transgression, a low voice replied.
"If you meet a suitable target, you can tell me here or through Ritual Magic. It is ultimately up to me to decide whether to allow you to join. But before that, you cannot reveal the existence of Tarot Club."
"Remember, my name is not to be recited without my permission by anyone who is not a member of the gathering."
