Monday, December 3rd.
Angel wrote down the remaining two pages Roselle's Diary early, and sat in his study room, waiting for Tarot Club to begin.
In order to cope with the meeting with "Lady Despair" Panacea, she has tried every means to improve her "survival rate" these days, such as seizing the time to make a sufficient amount of special ammunition. Read "" in detail Secret Book", strengthened the mastery of various Beyonder Ability, and even went to the Beyonder party held by the abandoned Medical College in the suburbs to try to buy Mystical Item.
Unfortunately, not only did I fail to buy Mystical Item, but my efforts in other directions were basically in vain.
It's not that her strength is standing still. After this period of intensive training, Angel believes that her mastery of various abilities has made great progress compared to when she was first promoted to Sequence 6. However, the gap between the two Sequence is still like a chasm between her and Panacea. These improvements are just a drop in the bucket.
Only on Tarot Club can I seek help from other people, even Mr. Fool...
She held tightly the Bone Spur formed by the characteristics of "Dawn Paladin" and waited for the arrival of 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Crimson light flashed, and Angel appeared on time in the palace shrouded by Gray Fog.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool," after "Justice" Miss greeted everyone, Angel took the lead in looking at the host Tarot Club, "I brought two pages of Roselle's Diary this time."
"Great, what do you need in exchange?"
Exchange?
Angel then remembered that the act of collecting diaries proposed by Mr. Fool was essentially a transaction between him and other Tarot Club members. After she returned to Tarot Club, she only thought of ways to complete the diaries that had not been submitted for a long time, but she forgot that she could also benefit!
Of course, the recent three pages of the diary are actually to repay the debt of knowing "Card of Blasphemy" before, but Mr. Fool is obviously aware of her current predicament, so she proposed an "exchange"?
"I may be meeting a Demigod Beyonder recently. I hope to get your protection so that she cannot peek into my secrets."
She was referring to the "Angel blessing" that Mr. Fool had given her before. With this blessing and Hidden Holy Emblem, she had the confidence to keep her secrets under the nose of a Demigod, and thus save her life.
"Okay."
Fool replied calmly, took the two pages of the diary that appeared from Angel, and read it quietly.
In these few minutes, Angel could feel other people's eyes lingering on him from time to time. The speech of "Demigod" just now must have aroused the interest and even vigilance of other members.
The level of knowledge on Tarot Club is indeed higher than other Beyonder gatherings. It is organized by Mr. Fool who is suspected to be God, but the other members are just Beyonder who are middle-class and Low Sequence.
Face to face with High Sequence Beyonder, it is still beyond everyone's imagination...
"You can communicate freely."
As soon as Mr. Fool finished speaking, Angel applied for a private conversation with "Justice". After receiving his signal, he turned to Audrey beside him and said:
"Miss Justice, I have some information about the royal family, and I would like to ask you to disclose it to the right person at the right time."
She said it more cryptically because she didn't know which "appropriate people" she should tell, King? Other Prince and Princess? Or some force powerful enough to fight against the royal family?
"You kept Demoness as your mistress and engaged in human trafficking?"
After listening to Angel's selective narration, "Justice" Audrey's tone was trembling, and even Spectator's instinct could not suppress her mood changes.
Except for things about "0-08" and Ince, Angel told the daughter of Earl almost everything she knew. The purpose was to find forces within the royal family and nobles that could resist Prince Edessak as much as possible. Combined with the actions after reporting to Orthodox Church, these organizations behind the scenes could be eliminated in one fell swoop.
"Of course, these are just my speculations based on the information I have at hand, and they may not be accurate. Besides, outside of Tarot Club, you need to be careful when mentioning these to avoid being perceived and positioned."
Thinking of the horror of "0-08", Angel reminded again.
This is also the reason why she dare not directly approach Audrey to propose cooperation. On top of Gray Fog, Mr. Fool has the ability to protect their communication from being known to the outside world, but direct dialogue may not be completely private and safe.
"Okay, I understand," the smart Miss Justice also thought of this. Even if she didn't know 0-08, she had heard "Twilight Hermits Society" from Mr. Fool, and knew that high-ranking people might have similar abilities. "I will try to influence my father and brother, and inquire about information in various salons and banquets. If what you said is true, I think... my father should have something."
I'm very cautious... but this is the right thing to do. The views I put forward may not be accurate. Even if I saved her life and it was considered a "life-long friendship", there is still the possibility of being misled by others and drawing the conclusion Error...
Angel nodded in understanding and added:
"You must be careful during this process. After all, your father's strength may not be able to intervene in the disputes within the royal family. If there is possible danger, leave it to the church to handle."
She did not name the specific church, because Earl Hall and his family are all believers of Evernight Goddess, so there was only one way to report.
"I will pay attention, after all, I am 'Telepathist'."
As if feeling Angel's concern, Audrey responded in a brisk tone.
After the individual communication ended, Angel looked at Hanged Man. After the latter recovered his sight and hearing, he also looked here, probably expecting that there would be a conversation later.
"Mr. Hanged Man, have you solved the previous matter?"
"Yes, thank you for your help. I will ask Mr. Fool to give the 500 pounds to you after Tarot Club is over."
It seems that he has returned to the shore and should have handed over Baelen's information to Church of Storms, but there is no movement from Backlund... It is because of the delay in message delivery, or last week Archbishop mentioned by Audrey replacing Backlund Diocese had a certain impact on the internals of Church of Storms, leaving Mandated Punisherss with no time to worry about anything else?
After thinking for a moment, Angel nodded and replied:
"There is no need to leave it to me, because I am going to entrust you to contact Artisan to help me make a Mystical Item, Sequence 6 and Beyonder Characteristic. The 500 pounds can be used to offset this part of the cost."
"I can agree to this directly. He still has free time," Hanged Man replied immediately, with a relaxed tone, as if he didn't have to pay the 500 pounds. "The production cost of Mystical Item for Sequence 6 is 1,000 pounds. Therefore, you still need to pay me 500 pounds. I will collect another 300 pounds in remuneration after the completion."
A total of 1,300 pounds, and a copy of the characteristics of "Dawn Paladin", which is equivalent to about 4,500 pounds in total, so expensive...
She thought with some heartache, but the only way to improve her combat power at this time was here, so she had no choice but to agree.
After that, Hanged Man continued to collect clues about the human trade. He found that among the many colonial islands at sea, the trend of disappearances of slaves and aborigines was still expanding. Islands with tens of thousands of people were often "emptied" without leaving a single person behind. These numbers could no longer be explained by the simple "slave trade". He even suspected that large-scale cult sacrifices were being carried out in some secret places, filling them with boatloads of missing people.
This made Angel immediately think of Aurora Order and their bloody sacrificial methods, but they are not the only cults. There are some little-known sects that are often as ruthless as those famous sects.
After issuing the commission, Hanged Man looked at the "world" at the bottom of the long table. He sold the "Werewolf" Beyonder Characteristic that the other party entrusted to sell this week, and found what the other party needed. The price of each of the 3 Deep Sea Naga hairs he wanted was as high as 100 pounds. To offset the two, he had to hand over 700 pounds to Mr. World and the 3 hairs, and he could keep 200 pounds as a reward.
"Oh, this makes me feel that gatherings here are gradually becoming valuable. I hope to continue similar transactions in the future."
The member who usually rarely speaks commented that he agreed with Hanged Man's transaction method.
And I actually think that his tone of voice is normal. Is it because he always deliberately creates aloofness... It seems that maintaining a similar image in the party is very advantageous, but I have been here for too long and cannot change my image in the eyes of others...
Angel thought with some regret and looked at another member who also didn't speak much - "Magician" Miss. The latter just raised his head at this time and asked in a low voice:
"Everyone, I would like to ask," she looked around the crowd, her tone hesitant, "How should we solve the problem of excessive accumulation of Beyonder Characteristic?"
"Did you drink a second dose of Potion that is the same as Sequence? To hide your current strength?"
How do you know——Miss Magician acted like she was asking this question at the moment. She coughed uncomfortably and said:
"Just treat it like this. Is there anything you can do?"
"I ask this because I have had similar thoughts," Hanged Man's tone was a bit sad at this time, and he rarely asked for something in return. This may be the change brought about by Miss Justice's generosity last week. "The solution is not difficult. As long as you give birth to a few more offspring, you can effectively reduce the residual Potion in your body."
Including Mr. "Sun" next to him, all Tarot Club members looked at Hanged Man with either confusion or shock.
