"Actually, you really don't have to wait for me."
Finally, Fool looked away from the diary in his hand, glanced at the long bronze table, and looked at the four people who were waiting for him without saying a word.
"It's our honor." Hanged Man replied respectfully.
Afterwards, the regular weekly communication time officially began.
"Mr. Hanged Man, I already understand what you asked me to inquire about. Prime Minister and the staff officers Persuasion have violated King. Within one year, Loen Kingdom will not continue to start a war in Balam East Coast to retaliate against the Feysac Empire."
The first person to speak was still Miss Justice.
"Thank you for your answer. It makes me and some people feel at ease." Hanged Man nodded slightly and replied, "According to what was agreed last time, what kind of reward do you need?"
"Main Materials of 'Telepathist', or a reliable clue, we can wait until Mr. Sun gives me the formula."
Justice said without hesitation, it seems that improving Sequence is still her most important thing.
Then she moved her gaze to Angel.
"Miss Empress, the method you proposed before to select officials through public examinations to avoid political party changes affecting administrative efficiency was also recognized by King. I have received news that this proposal will be passed by the upper and lower houses soon and will be officially implemented early next year."
"This is you, our Tarot Club's influence on the kingdom."
she added with pride.
No, this is all your influence. At first I thought it was some kind of college summer homework... And Miss Justice What is the composition of your family? How come you can even know what King and Prime Minister are doing?
Angel slandered. When she was engaging in rhetorical politics, she never thought about the real impact it would have on reality.
But this sense of accomplishment of influencing the Loen Kingdom system reform through language and advanced knowledge still surrounds her. It is no wonder that Miss Justice speaks with pride. As the implementer who personally promoted the passage of the proposal through family and social connections, she should be even more excited in her heart.
"It seems that King and his staff still have some brains and will not degenerate into a group of curly-haired baboons."
Hanged Man mocked mercilessly.
Shocked by Hanged Man's ruthless comments, Justice quickly digested his inner excitement and continued to ask:
"By the way, Mr. Hanged Man, and everyone, I recently joined a Beyonder circle. They trade information, materials and Potion formulas with each other. There are many participants. The organizer of the circle is a Beyonder named 'Mr. A', which sounds like a code name. Does anyone know his true identity?"
Mr. A... This is very similar to Mr. C's name. Is he also a member of "Aurora Order"?
Angel recalled the information of "Aurora Order" Oracle that Dunn told him. Seeing that Hanged Man did not respond, he replied after considering:
"The Mr. A you are talking about is probably one of the twenty-two Oracles of 'Aurora Order'. They all call themselves 'Mr. A', 'Mr. Z' and other letter code names. They have at least the strength of Sequence 7, and can reach the highest level of Sequence 5."
"If Mr. A, the organizer of this Beyonder circle, is really Oracle Mr. A of 'Aurora Order', then I suggest you have less contact and don't provoke him. Mr. Hanged Man and I have told you about the situation of 'Aurora Order' before."
Angel once again emphasized the cruelty and lawlessness of "Aurora Order".
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Empress, I will... will pay attention to have less contact with him."
Justice replied hesitantly, then paused as if he remembered something before speaking again.
"What do I have to pay for this answer?"
I still have 900 pounds in my bearer account in the bank. I don't need the money for the time being, and I am embarrassed to charge for this information... By the way, now I need to prepare Sequence 7 "Witch" Potion Main Materials in advance...
"I need some Beyonder Ingredients recently. If you can get Black Abyss Demon Fish's Blood, a whole blood, I hope to buy it from you."
The main materials of "Witch" Potion are "all the blood of Black Abyss Demon Fish" and "Agate Peacock's Egg". She only requested the purchase of the former because she was afraid that others would guess the use or guess the formula of Potion.
"Understood, I will pay attention. If everything goes well, Tarot Club can help you solve the material problem next time."
Justice answered without hesitation, seemingly not even thinking about the possibility that he could not find the materials.
Another transaction was successfully concluded, and the long bronze table in Gray Fog fell into a brief silence.
"I received a piece of information," Hanged Man looked around and saw that everyone had successfully attracted their attention before continuing in a calm tone, "The Great Pirate Qilingus, the one known as 'Vice Admiral Hurricane', sneaked into Backlund."
"That 'Vice Admiral Hurricane', one of the seven Pirate Admiral?" Miss Justice exclaimed, "I heard that he was cruel and killed countless people. What is this pirate doing in Backlund?"
Miss Justice, it is too easy for you to be calculated by Hanged Man... It seems that "Spectator" Potion can only give you observation skills, but cannot give you other experience.
Angel watched with a secret smile as Hanged Man successfully aroused Justice's curiosity, and successfully obtained Potion Main Materials in exchange for Justice's promise to help him find "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus.
"But remember, although he is just the 'Wind-blessed' of Sequence 6, he is quite cruel and cunning. He also possesses a powerful Mystical Item. All you need to do is find his whereabouts. Don't try to deal with him."
Hanged Man added patiently, not knowing whether he was worried about Justice's personal safety, or worried that Justice would die tragically at the hands of this pirate before he could deliver the message.
"Mystical Item? It sounds like this item is stronger than him. What's so special about it?"
This was important information in the search for "Vice Admiral Hurricane", so Hanged Man did not hide it and directly informed Justice.
"The real name of this Mystical Item is unknown, but Qilingus's subordinates and enemies all call it 'Creeping Hunger' because it needs to devour the flesh, blood and soul of a living person every other day, otherwise it will replace its owner when it is hungry."
It sounds much more difficult to maintain than my "Bloodthirst"... but this may be a weakness...
"You should be able to use this negative effect to find him."
Angel suggested.
"It may be possible in small cities, but Backlund has a population of more than five million, and hundreds of homeless people disappear and die in dark corners every day. Let alone eating one every other day, even if you have to eat ten every day, I am afraid that you will not be able to find Qilingus in the short term."
Hanged Man had already expected this question and directly rejected Angel's suggestion.
"And the more difficult it is to deal with the negative effects of Mystical Item, the more powerful the effect will be. This 'Creeping Hunger' makes 'Wind-blessed' Qilingus, who could only control water, wind and weather, become almost omnipotent. He can change into different appearances, strengthen himself through singing, and enter the dreams of others..."
It sounds like many different Pathway ability combinations. Could it be that "Creeping Hunger", like "Magician Pocket Watch", can provide other Pathway abilities for Qilingus to use?
Angel Listening to Hanged Man's introduction, he thought of his own Mystical Item formed from "Magician" Beyonder Characteristic.
"Shepherd?"
Before Hanged Man could finish speaking, Mr. "Sun" who had been silently watching the exchange between the three people exclaimed.
Together with Hanged Man who closed his mouth, the three of them all turned their attention to Sun.
This made Sun, who already regretted blurting out the words, even more panicked. His head, which was taller than Hanged Man, lowered, and after a long time he continued:
"The abilities listed by Mr. Hanged Man are very similar to 'Shepherd' Sequence. He can swallow the souls of others and drive them. Beyonder Ability's soul during his lifetime can also be used by 'Shepherd', just like the Grazing lamb."
"The most important thing is that 'Shepherd' can be more than one soul of Grazing, and can be easily replaced."
This is much scarier than "Magician Pocket Watch". As long as Qilingus passes "Creeping Hunger" Grazing a "Magician", you can have his Beyonder Ability. If you add other Sequence, such as "Nightmare", "Witch"...
Imagining Qilingus holding Frost Spear, surrounded by Black Flame, and a "Flaming Jump" coming behind the enemy to launch a surprise attack, Angel couldn't help but shudder.
