Silent deep Red Light lights lit up. Except for "Sun" Derrick who came to Gray Fog in advance, the other Tarot Club members appeared one by one and sat down on their own high-backed chairs.
At the end of the long table is the "world" controlled by Klein using All-Black Eye.
"Mr. Fool, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon~"
Miss Justice, with extraordinary perseverance, insists on greeting all members every week. Influenced by her, even the newest member "Hermit" nodded and smiled kindly in return.
Klein, who also replied to the greetings, first looked at "Empress" Angel, who was on the left hand side. The two had not seen each other for a week, and the novelist he played had obstacles in his desire to publish his posthumous work. He was unable to complete it as planned, which made him a little anxious.
"Hey, the aura of Angel is a bit chaotic, and the inner layer of Astral Body is dark and complicated, which represents melancholy and sadness..."
With the "home field advantage" of Gray Fog, Klein can see Astral Body hidden by Beyonder to confirm the opponent's emotions. Usually, Angel is a mixture of blue and white, and occasionally has a yellow appearance, which means that she is generally in a calm or happy state.
But now...
For no reason, Klein felt a trace of doubt and anxiety in his heart.
What happened to her this week?
Unexpectedly, Mr. Fool at the top of the long table had a lot of thoughts in his mind. "Justice" and "Moon" each showed a Emperor Roselle's Diary and handed it to Fool, and "Hanged Man" was unable to obtain a new diary because she was at sea recently. "Hermit" also apologized, but she seemed to understand that finding the diary was not a mandatory "task" and did not feel too anxious about it.
After absently reading the diary with some repetitive content, Klein announced the beginning of "Free Communication Time".
"Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with Ms. 'Hermit' alone."
As soon as the free time came, Angel, who displayed his inner anxiety and sadness on the surface of Astral Body, made a request and looked at Hermit, who was at the end of the "lady's side". The latter was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement.
After other people's audio and video was blocked, Angel continued to speak:
"Ms. 'Hermit', I have a commission and I want to get your help." Her voice was a little low, but she did not show the negative emotions in her heart. "But I first want to confirm that you are 'Admiral of Stars' Cattleya, right?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, "Hermit" responded with an emotionless tone:
"How did you come to this conclusion?"
She didn't deny it.
Although "The World", as an ordinary member of Tarot Club, also acted like he was blocked when communicating alone, Klein, as "Fool", could sit in the best viewing seat and watch the two people communicate. At this time, in his line of sight, "Hermit" Cattleya's eyes were a little wide, showing a state of over shock.
I didn't expect Angel to be able to guess the other party's identity, which was a bit... Klein was half expecting, half worriedly waiting for Angel's answer.
"Based on the attitude of a certain member on Tarot Club towards you, as well as the information and material channels you showed, your possible Sequence height is located at sea instead of south North Continent... I infer that you are a Beyonder with the same strength as Pirate Admiral E, even one of them," Angel said slowly, making Klein feel like she was summarizing as she spoke, "And I have seen all the women in Pirate Admiral except 'Admiral of Stars'."
"Moreover, you pay special attention to me. Is it because of my bounty, my fighting methods, or the battle with Tracy?"
Klein was a little stunned. He asked himself that if he were in Angel's position and knew this information, he would be able to guess 70-80%, but she is, but Angel...
He wanted to do a divination to see if the person who came to Gray Fog this week was Angel, or an outsider who used Faceless's ability to make her up.
Also surprised was "Hermit" Cattleya. She was silent for a moment and said:
"I thought you were more, um, casual... I didn't expect that your special attention to you would actually lead you to discover my identity."
After admitting that he was "Admiral of Stars", Cattleya continued to ask:
"So, why did you confirm my identity? Is it the commission you mentioned?"
"Yes, I don't mean any harm. We are all believers of Mr. Fool and members of Tarot Club. It is not a bad thing to know each other." Angel replied, "I want to hire your ship and take a person to the dangerous sea east of the Sonia Sea to look for traces of wild mermaids."
"Wild?"
Cattleya caught the point and asked rhetorically.
"I know that there are mermaid settlements near the eastern channel of Gargas Archipelago, but they belong to Church of Evernight, and what I need to find is the kind that live freely in the sea."
Listening to Angel's request, Klein, who played "Fool" at the top of the long table, pursed his lips and felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
He did not expect that the purpose of Angel's request to communicate alone was to find the mermaid and prepare for his promotion.
"You should be aware of the dangers of that sea area," Cattleya did not immediately refuse or agree, but asked slowly, "Except for 'Hell Admiral' Ludwell, almost no ship would dare to enter there."
"But your 'Future' is an exception."
Angel is confident and seems to have already conducted relevant investigations.
"That's right, so, how are you going to hire me?"
With a chuckle, Cattleya leaned against the back of the seat and replied.
"2500 pounds, or you can use Mystical Item to deduct it on the premise that you make up the difference."
"I want 3,500 pounds, or a Sequence 6 or a Mystical Item. If you have something better, I can pay the difference."
After some bargaining, Angel hired Future from Cattleya for 3,000 pounds and went to the dangerous area east of the Sonia Sea to investigate the location of the mermaid.
She originally tried to use the "hypocritical" ring to trade off the price, but the bid exceeded Cattleya's expectations, so the transaction was not completed.
Moreover, Pirate Admiral also requested that he would not be able to find time to complete Angel's commission until April.
"Confirm the specific time and boarding location via Tarot Club. These are all specified by me. Is that okay?"
"Hermit" finally confirmed.
"Okay, but it won't be me who gets on the ship then," Angel nodded, "You can rest assured, he is also the Fool's Believer."
Klein, who followed Gray Fog, frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with this "commission".
After the individual communication ended, Angel seemed to be no longer interested in other things and huddled back in the high-backed chair, while "Hanged Man" Alger, who had been waiting for a long time, glanced at the two ladies who had just communicated, and finally focused on "Hermit" and said:
"Gargas Archipelago The news of 'Ghost Empire' has been circulating recently. Nass Many Sailor claimed to have seen a huge warship that was glowing with phosphorescence and completely black at night. Perhaps this Ghost Ship Reenactment full of the Trensoest Empire treasures has left the world."
Except for "Sun", everyone here has more or less heard the rumors about this huge ship with a size equivalent to a city, and the secret treasure of the last empire Fourth Epoch it carried. They all sat up straight with interest, but Cattleya, who was stared at by Alger, had no other expression, which made the former a little disappointed.
Mr. Hanged Man seems to be looking forward to the answer from "Admiral of Stars". He left Bayam to go to Gargas Archipelago this time in order to search for "Ghost Empire"? Church of Storms Are you also interested in this rumor?
Angel slowly looked at Alger on the opposite side, his head running subconsciously, analyzing the information.
She was originally planning to entrust "Blue Avenger" to the east of the Sonia Sea, but the Ghost Ship hurriedly carried out the mission, disrupting her plan, and the scheduled date was coming soon, so she could only test "Hermit" who was not sure about the details. Fortunately, the other party was indeed "Admiral of Stars" and accepted her commission...
After thinking about it, this rumor, which everyone was interested in but had no clue about, ended after sporadic discussions.
This was followed by the speech of "Justice" Audrey, who shared a "Lucid Dream" experience she encountered while on vacation in her hometown.
Under the guidance of a folk song, Justice came to an area with the custom of worshiping dragons. After suggesting to himself "to stay awake in dreams", he successfully entered his own Depths of Consciousness and arrived in an illusory ocean of "Collective Unconscious".
There, she saw a giant dragon with gray rock-like scales, and thought of the ancient legend of the dragon and the existence of "Miracle City" Liveseyd.
That is Floating City produced by "Imagination Dragon" Ankewelt "Imagination", which is rumored to be produced by "Sun" The legends in City of Silver where Mr. is, the objects imagined by Imagination Dragon will definitely materialize, the country it imagined will definitely appear in the world, and the prophecies it makes will definitely become reality.
"If I continue to explore 'Collective Unconscious', is it possible to find 'Miracle City' there?"
Finally, Audrey asked with expectation.
"It's best not to do this," it was the taciturn Hermit who answered her. "It's very dangerous. The so-called dragons are also flesh and blood creatures. Those who can swim in Collective Unconscious are likely to have reached the level of Demigod. With your Even if you get close to it or see it, you may be harmed. Moreover, 'Collective Unconscious' itself is very dangerous. It will corrode and submerge you if you fall into it, causing mental trauma, and even making you unable to wake up, or causing changes in your memory and personality."
Audrey, who has a strong interest in the mysterious Great Sea of Consciousness and various legends, sighed in disappointment, but she also knew that Hermit's suggestion was correct. She only had Sequence 7, and she was not able to face Demigod and step into the level of "Sea of Collective Subconscious".
Fortunately, I have already purchased the main material of "Hypnotist". Next, as long as I continue to accumulate contributions and digest "Psychiatrist" Potion, it won't take long for me to be promoted to Sequence 6!
She was thinking excitedly, and looked at "Empress" Miss, who sold her the materials, only to find that the latter was leaning forward, lying on the long bronze table, with an expression of confusion and panic.
Is this still the strong and confident "Empress"?
Audrey had such a question in his heart.
The mind of Angel, who was being watched by her, was filled with "Imagination", "subconscious mind", "memory and personality changes" and other content that everyone had just exchanged. Seeing that the surroundings fell into a brief silence, she suddenly asked:
"Everyone, have you heard of the name 'Adam'?"
