Of course, even if the bounty of "Steel" Maviti is reserved, a Beyonder of Sequence 6 is not so easy to find.

Angel learned from Hanged Man and Dominic that the intelligence officer "Admiral of Blood" Quinn often haunts Fragrant Tree Leaf Bar may be able to take advantage of this to guard Maviti, but this process will be very long and may even miss the best opportunity for these pirates to leave Bayam and return to the sea.

Another way is to use "Bait Plan" to use things that "steel" is interested in, such as Key of Death, or "flame" Danitz who knows the intelligence of Key of Death, to lure these pirates to appear on their own initiative and catch them all.

After a short discussion, Danitz "happily" chose the second option. Considering that his hand injury was not yet healed, Angel temporarily sent him to inquire about intelligence nearby and release some false news to see if there was any chance of catching the big fish directly.

As for Angel and Klein, they need to prepare for Tarot Club the next day, which is Monday, so more arrangements can only be decided on Monday night.

Late at night, Bansy Island.

The strong winds and thick fog that often harassed this "Weather Museum" in the past have long disappeared. There are three huge sailboats parked at the pier, with the strong winds, waves and thunder representing Storm embroidered on the sails.

In the town square, headless corpses with heads trailing long "tails" were piled together, waiting to be burned.

This made Bansy Harbor look like it had experienced a tragic massacre, but there was not a drop of blood on the ground, and there was only the smell of decay in the air.

A man named Mandated Punishers, armed with Sailor, is still searching and digging near the port to remove all the Zombie and heads that have been revived in ancient sacrifices or have not yet been revived. They use the powerful Extraordinary Bullet, "Storm" and Charm without hesitation to advance the front line like a ravage.

The doors and windows of the local residents' buildings were closed. This time, the people standing behind the windows were not expressionless locals, but frightened and confused faces. They could not see the scene outside the town, but the gunshots and thunderstorms that sounded from time to time still made them restless.

I hope everything will end as soon as possible and let Bansy return to its former peace... The residents prayed like this, most of them prayed to Lord of Storms, and a few prayed to the ancient "Weather God".

At the same time, in the cave sealed with rocks by the Mandated Punisherss on the high mountain next to the port, the long-dried blood turned bright red, and the gray rock walls became bright. In this bright color like an oil painting, a figure wearing a tuxedo and a top hat walked out of the void.

He has bronze skin and a small mole under his right ear. He is Azik Eggers who is searching the world for his lost memory.

Although he could see in the dark, the rigorous habits developed through long-term teaching still allowed him to rub the Spirituality fire and light the ceremonial candles that had not been moved away by the Mandated Punisherss, filling the cave with warm light and making the bloodstains in the corners even more eerie.

He held two pieces of letter paper in one hand and brushed the altar that was broken into several pieces in the middle of the cave with the other hand. Miraculously, the altar was put back together under the influence of invisible force. The grooves above were clearly visible, which were the mysterious rune patterns drawn on the letter paper.

"It seems like this is it..."

Azik frowned, as if he had recalled something. After a moment, he stood on the altar without making any other movements. The dried blood in the corner seemed to come to life, flowing up the altar on its own, filling up the symbols and lines.

Clenching the letter paper with some anticipation, Azik waited for a while, but did not notice any changes on the altar.

Recalling the descriptions of that day's events by Klein and Angel in the letters, he stretched out his fingers and dripped a few drops of his own blood, mixing them with the activated dirty blood, making them bright red, as if giving the entire cave a hint of death.

But there was still no movement on the altar, as if the "power" belonging to it rejected the Beyonder of High Sequence in front of him.

"It turns out that this is not death, but..."

Azik murmured, looking northwest, penetrating through the thick rock wall, traveling through thousands of kilometers of space, and looking towards the capital of Intis Republic, Trier.

The next second, the scene around him turned into a thick oil painting, and the space was like water ripples. Distortion wrapped the amnesiac Undying and took him away from Bansy Island.

At the foot of the mountain, the first flame that burned Zombie had just ignited.

Crimson light flashed one after another, and the members of Tarot Club once again came to the towering palace shrouded by Gray Fog.

Angel quickly scanned around the long bronze table and found that there were not many or few people. Mr. Fool was at the top. In the world opposite him, there were Justice and Magician on his side, and on the other side were Hanged Man, Sun, and Moon.

Very neatly arranged, making her feel comfortable.

After Miss Justice's routine greetings, Angel couldn't wait to look at Fool:

"Mr. Fool, this time I found three pages of Emperor Roselle's Diary for you."

There were actually five pages, but she planned to submit part of it first and save the rest to cover the gap when she couldn't find the diary later.

While she was calculating like this, she could feel Fool's eyes sweeping over her body, making the hairs on Spirit Body's body stand up one by one.

After a while, a pen and paper appeared in front of Angel.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly manifested the diary that had been in her mind for a long time, and presented it to this mysterious being.

No one else found a new diary this week. Mr. Fool quickly finished reading it and let Tarot Club enter Free Communication Time.

"Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, and everyone, thanks to your help, I finally got rid of that terrible cycle. Expedition Team has already embarked on the road back to City of Silver."

Mr. Sun was the first to speak and sincerely expressed his gratitude to everyone.

Only those who have experienced it will understand the horror of spending the same day and experiencing the same thing over and over again in the True Creator ruins under the abandoned temple. What is even more troublesome is that in the entire Expedition Team, he is the only one who is aware of the cycle due to the power of Mr. Fool. Others, even the chief Your Excellency who stepped into High Sequence, did not feel anything abnormal at all.

If it weren't for Mr. Fool, they would probably all die in the depths of the ruins...

Next, "Sun" Derrick talked about his experience of getting out of trouble.

After getting the hint from Hanged Man, he tried to change his behavior in another cycle, giving himself the opportunity to explore other areas, and found a mural depicting "Rose Redemption", which showed a group of pilgrims Ascetic, a silver-haired Angel, and a river flowing end to end at his feet.

According to City of Silver "Chief", the silver-haired Angel is one of the eight King of Angel who surround the legendary god who created everything, Angel of fate, "Ouroboros" Ouroboros, is in the same position as another King of Angel, "Angel of Time" Amon.

Circulating rivers are often related to destiny. According to this prompt, in another Reboot exploration, he guided the chief to attack the mysterious little boy Jack, removing a piece of his chest. Cutting off the human face destroyed this trace of destiny belonging to "Ouroboros", shattered the "River of fate" that shrouded the ruins and could not leave, and saved the entire Expedition Team.

In the process, they finally confirmed that the little boy Jack came from "Enmat Harbor" and confirmed the connection between the world where City of Silver lives and the world where other Tarot Club members live.

Everyone was a little excited to see the "Rose Redemption" mural he had embodied. Considering that the "Six Gods" Distortion mural they had seen last week was over two thousand years old, this "Rose Redemption" was at least a contemporary work, giving them the pleasure of "peeping into history."

Unfortunately, Mr. Sun's wonderful adventure has come to an end after ending the cycle. More fresh news may have to wait until he returns to City of Silver and asks from the little boy Jack.

"Mr. Hanged Man," seeing Derrick no longer speaking, "Justice" Audrey looked at another veteran member, "What you need'Wind-blessed I have found the formula for '. The price for 'Psychology Alchemists' is 3,000 pounds, or Mystical Item, which is worth slightly less. If you agree, we can trade it tomorrow."

3,000 pounds... This is more than the common price of Sequence 6 Potion formula. Is the other party taking advantage of this opportunity to demand a high price? No, maybe I just want to guide traders to use Mystical Item to exchange...

Angel guessed and looked at Hanged Man, who nodded decisively:

"I will prepare the corresponding Mystical Item. In addition, the item you ordered will be completed next week. Please prepare the corresponding cost in advance."

After knowing that "Empress" can easily solve the problem of Bishop "Wind-blessed", Alger's desire for promotion is extremely strong!

As the "Seafarer" of Sequence 7, he was a little nervous even meeting "Empress" in reality, for fear that if he was not careful, he would participate in the next week's Tarot Club in another form.

"Beyonder Characteristic of 'Seafarer' only sells for 1,500 pounds."

Alger seemed to hear the voice of "Empress" Miss selling his own characteristics. Although he knew that Mr. Fool would not allow members to kill each other, this gap in strength still made him involuntarily think in this direction.

Angel, who was afraid of him, was thinking about another thing. She remembered the three-party transaction between Justice, the world, and Hanged Man in last week's Tarot Club, and she became increasingly curious about this "predetermined item".

"Miss Justice, I also got the 'Mirror Dragon Blood' and 'Elder Tree Fruit' you need. Adding my 100 pounds reward, the total is 850 pounds. They belong to you."

"Moon" Seeing that the transaction was in full swing, Emlyn took the initiative to say to Audrey who was diagonally opposite. He tried his best to keep his tone calm, but a trace of eagerness was still easily caught by Spectator.

Mr. Moon A little short of money? Well, he seems to want to buy Beyonder Characteristic of Blood Clan Baron. Maybe I can take advantage of this. Haha, after the New Year, I will have a lot of money again. Dad also promised me that I can reimburse the cost of the Mystical Item...

Audrey thought about it, nodded quickly and agreed, agreeing to trade in the form of "sacrifice" tomorrow.

After that, Miss Magician bought the "Deep Sea Spearfish's blood" he needed from Hanged Man for 320 pounds. Angel knew clearly that this was Sequence 8 "Trickmaster" one of Potion Main Materials, and the other material, "Spirit Eater's Stomach", can only be exchanged for the contribution of this exploration after Mr. Sun returns to City of Silver.

At the same time, he is also preparing to try his best to understand the various materials that City of Silver possesses and that the monsters wandering near the city can obtain, provide the list to the members of Tarot Club, and obtain his own share of the benefits from the transaction.

This shows that Mr. "Sun", who was originally a bit naive and shy, has also matured quickly in Tarot Club.

Opposite him, "Magician" Fors was excitedly looking forward to the moment when she would be promoted to Sequence 8. She had been working hard for it for several years. Now that Potion was so close, she couldn't help herself.

But looking at the Tarot Club members around her, who were all higher than her in Sequence, this excitement quickly dissipated in the wind.

Seeing that everyone's transaction was completed, Angel cleared her throat, attracted everyone's attention to her, and then said slowly:

"Last week, I encountered a strange thing at Bansy Harbor."
