A series of crimson rays of light flashed, and the members of Tarot Club once again gathered in the palace in Gray Fog.

As soon as she sat down, Angel felt a probing line of sight on her left. She looked back and was surprised to find that there was a new member on the left side of Miss Magician, at the end of the "female" queue on the left side of Mr. Fool.

Ah, such a perfect arrangement was broken... She felt a little uncomfortable, but looked at the new lady who came to Tarot Club with some expectancy.

The "male" queue members on the opposite side also quickly discovered this. "Sun" Derrick, "Moon" Emlyn all turned their attention to the new members. They all joined after Tarot Club was established, so they did not have much doubts about this situation and just waited quietly for the other party to introduce themselves.

"Hanged Man" Alger raised his eyebrows in surprise as soon as his eyes fell on the new member.

He had seen this figure before!

That was a few months ago in the depths of the Sonia Sea. Alger, as the captain of "Blue Avenger", participated in the Pirate Conference held secretly there. At the venue, he had seen this figure wearing a black robe with black hair and purple eyes. The figure had a strange-looking astrology device tied around his waist, which impressed him deeply.

If this new member is her, then Tarot Club is about to welcome a big shot... He thought silently and subconsciously sat up straighter.

Mr. Hanged Man acted too surprised. He probably knew the new member... "Justice" Audrey did not pay too much attention to the new lady. Instead, he looked at the other members, observed their reactions, and successfully obtained many clues.

No one can escape from the sight of "Psychiatrist"... With a smile on her lips, she stood up and said hello in a brisk tone:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Then, she greeted everyone one by one, starting with "Empress" Miss and ending with "Mr. Moon". After receiving everyone's return gifts, she looked at the new members.

The order has changed again, it is no longer the order of Tarot Cards, but the order of membership... Audrey, your little thoughts are too obvious...

Angel quickly noticed the difference in the order of Miss Justice's greetings. This not only introduced each member's codename in turn, demonstrating his status as a "veteran", but also left the last opportunity to introduce himself to the new members. Is this the ability of "Spectator"?

Feeling that everyone's attention was focused on her, this lady in black robe with a calm temperament nodded slightly in greeting and said:

"Hermit."

"I am 'Justice', welcome, Ms. 'Hermit'."

After welcoming the new members on behalf of Mr. Fool, Audrey, who felt a little presumptuous, quickly looked towards the top of the long table and saluted again:

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

She returned to her family's former residence in East Chester County half a month ago. While visiting relatives and taking a vacation, she also found some unique Roselle's Diary in nearby museums and ancient literature bookstores, and decided to dedicate them to Fool several times.

"I found two pages, too."

Angel spoke up.

She attended a Beyonder party of Bayam Market District last night and bought four pages of Roselle's Diary at a price of 5 pounds each. She kept two pages for herself and gave two to Klein who attended the party together, so as to avoid the Fool's Believer not submitting a diary for a long time and being punished by Mr. Fool.

At that party, she also successfully sold the Beyonder Characteristic of "Warlock" and "Pugilist", receiving 1,500 pounds and 650 pounds respectively.

The characteristics of "Warlock" came from the extra harvest of that hunt for "steel" Maviti, and Klein should be given half of it. Angel forced this part of the proceeds to him, but he changed hands and spent 500 pounds to buy a small tube of "Remnants of Ancient Wraith's Spirituality" as part of the Potion he was preparing for promotion.

Even so, my savings are close to 7,500 pounds, which is enough to consider the wealth of the "desperate" Potion material... She thought happily, and the two pages of the diary that reflected her memories were dedicated to Mr. Fool along with the two pages of the diary of Justice and the legend of the ancient gods copied by Sun, and then she began to think about how to spend this huge sum of money.

I got five pages of the diary at once. This time Fool took an extra long time to read. The old members were all waiting quietly. Only the newly joined Ms. "Hermit" observed the other members one by one and kept their appearance and demeanor in mind.

At the same time, there were waves in her heart.

Roselle's notes were indeed the "diary" he left behind. She was right... but how did the members of Tarot Club know? Could it be that Mr. "Fool" reminded them and asked them to collect it? Is he deciphering the secrets in the diary and pursuing the secrets of that magnificent era?

Glancing at the top of the long table with the corner of her eye, she saw the figure in Gray Fog bowing her head in silence, reading the diary carefully, and then turned her eyes to the men opposite.

"Sun" is tall, but he seems young. His muscles are gnarled and his tight-fitting clothes are suitable for fighting. He is a melee type Beyonder... "Moon" has red pupils and wears the priest's robe of Earth Mother. If nothing else, he is a "Vampire"...

"Hanged Man" has dark blue hair, elf blood, or is it a mutation of "Sailor" Pathway? Maybe it's both... After he saw me, he was more surprised than the others. Was it because he had seen me before, or because he guessed my identity through my clothes? He is wearing a priest's robe with lightning and Storm patterns. He can't be a believer of Storm, right?

"The World" is strangely sitting opposite to Mr. "Fool" instead of sitting directly opposite me according to gender. He is wearing a hooded robe, no details of his appearance can be seen, and he has no body movements. He has the feeling of an inanimate person like "Admiral of Blood"...

"Magician" has been silent and has a lazy attitude, but it is possible that she is not interested in this meeting. Maybe she is the strongest member on the field, well, of course except "Fool"... "Justice" took the initiative to introduce the members, showing a sense of ownership. Her earrings and necklaces are obviously valuable, and she is wearing an avant-garde design and a well-tailored long skirt. I have seen this kind of design before. In a fashion magazine, one dress costs three digits Gold Pound...

The Gray Fog that permeated the palace made it difficult for Ms. "Hermit" to see everyone's specific appearance, but she could distinguish the general hair color, eye color and clothing. With the help of this information, she quickly classified and labeled the members, and decided how to communicate and respond in the future.

Finally, she moved her gaze to the left side of Fool, where she had just submitted two pages of Roselle's Diary's "Empress" Miss.

The latter has long pale blond hair shawl, purple eyes looking straight ahead, with a calm expression, as if he has long been accustomed to Tarot Club's agenda.

The young woman wears no jewelry and is dressed casually, but "Justice" Miss was the first to greet her just now. She has a high status among Tarot Club... Wait, her hair color and eye color, could it be Angelica Zaki who was wanted by Church of Storms for killing Bishop Church of Storms recently?

Feeling the burning gaze from the new member "Hermit", Angel ended the virtual shopping time in his mind, looked at the other party, and nodded slightly in greeting.

"Hermit", who had learned from various channels that Angelica easily destroyed a pirate ship, suddenly felt a little creepy and quickly looked away.

No, not necessarily, maybe it was just that the hair color was the same as that of the wanted criminal, and the possibility of meeting someone who was also in the Rhoside Islands by chance was too low... She subconsciously denied it.

"You can start communicating now."

Klein, who finished reading early and secretly observed the reaction of "Hermit", smiled with satisfaction and whispered.

"I apply to communicate with Mr. "Hanged Man" alone."

"Request to communicate with 'Empress' alone."

Angel and Alger said at the same time, and then looked at each other with curious eyes.

Communicate alone?

"Hermit" As soon as these words came into his mind, he felt that he had lost his eyesight and the surroundings fell into a strange silence.

Deprivation Does everyone else's senses achieve the effect of independent communication? This was too simple and crude... She realized that this space was under the absolute control of "Fool", so she did not overreact, but quietly waited for the communication to end.

After Fool indicated that it was ready to start, Angel asked first:

"Mr. Hanged Man, I want to order a sailboat from you at Bayam. It is best to have it in stock. I will need it in one month."

Sailboat... Miss Empress is finally not satisfied with hunting pirates and is ready to become one of Pirate Admiral himself?

Alger was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What size of ship do you want? Two-masted or three-masted? Does it need a steam engine? If it needs to be armed, the price will be much more expensive..."

Angel, who was stunned by the series of questions, quickly interrupted the other party:

"I just bought the most ordinary sailing ship to, um, invest in maritime trade..."

"Sorry, I thought you were going to change careers..." Realizing that he had misunderstood what the other party meant, Alger nodded and continued, "If it is an ordinary cargo ship, depending on the cargo capacity and the number of crew members, the price may range from a few hundred pounds to tens of thousands of pounds. I suggest that you first understand the detailed needs of the other party before spending money to purchase the ship."

"I asked her to find an opportunity to meet with you and tell you her needs."

Angel decisively assigned this arduous task to Helene.

Alger quickly finalized the method and time of the meeting and ended the topic. The profits of ship trading were not low. He could earn at least 20% by using his connections to resell orders, so he seemed very "helpful".

The conversation changed and he mentioned the purpose of his request to communicate alone:

"I plan to carry out the matter I discussed with you last time this week. Can you attend on time?"

After being captured by Jogoli's master Fell short and the subordinates of "Vice Admiral of Ailment" at sea for two days, Alger decided to leave Bayam as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams and Regeneration's accident.

It refers to helping him conceal his crew and obtain the materials of "Wind-blessed" Potion... Angel nodded clearly and said:

"No problem, I have nothing else to do during this time, but you must also fulfill my request and take us to the small island southwest of Bodo Port."

"You guys?"

"Yes, I will bring a companion with me."

Yesterday, after "Golden Dream" came to the vicinity of Bayam and supported the local resistance with a batch of urgently needed supplies, Danitz, as the liaison person, finally got a short "vacation" and was approved to return to his ship.

After he left happily, Angel and Klein were idle again. The latter gained a lot from playing Helene and summed up the Acting Rule of "Faceless". According to him, as long as the performance continues step by step, it is likely that Potion can be completely digested within half a year.

Therefore, he could also set aside some free time to accompany Angel to the Nameless Island to look for traces of "Gazer".

Of course, Angel would not tell Alger these things. She just added when the other party was hesitant:

"He is also a believer of Mr. Fool."

"That's right, then I agree."

Hanged Man nodded immediately, fully expressing his trust in Mr. Fool and Tarot Club.

The two then finalized the details of the operation and decided to set off on Wednesday morning before ending their separate communication.

After recovering his vision and hearing, "Moon" Emlyn looked around, straightened his back, coughed lightly, and after everyone looked at him, he smiled and said to Hanged Man:

"Thanks to Mr. 'Hanged Man''s help, I have obtained the inheritance of Sanguine and become a Baron."

Although he said words of thanks, he raised his neck and raised his chin, showing off more than being grateful.

"So, which Sequence does Baron of Vampire correspond to?"

"Magician" Fors opposite him asked curiously.

"Sanguine, it's Sanguine!"

Emlyn suddenly lost his elegance and emphasized with a trembling tone.
