It was still the exchange of greetings hosted by "Justice" Miss, and then it was time to submit Emperor Roselle's Diary.

During Masik's short trip, Angel bought two pages of Roselle's diary from a local occult enthusiast store. These Chinese diaries had obviously been copied many times, so that the characters were a bit confusing. She couldn't tell whether they were duplicates of the previous ones, so she had to pretend to be stupid and submit them.

Apart from her, only "Hermit" Cattleya contributed a page of her diary. Angel noticed that Mr. Fool took significantly longer to read that page of diary, while he scanned his two pages, obviously having read the contents above.

He wouldn't think that I was perfunctory... Thinking of "Hermit"'s screams and the terrifying abnormalities all over her body when she was punished before, Angel felt a little palpitated. She carefully moved her eyes away and looked at the three Card of Blasphemys placed in front of Mr. Fool, feeling a little calmer.

For the sake of the "Demoness" and "Red Priest" cards, it should be fine...

At the same time, Cattleya, who wore thick glasses with the permission of Mr. Fool so that he would not be punished for "looking directly at God", also secretly looked at the person at the top of the long table and noticed the different attitudes of Fool towards the diary submitted by the two.

"He took significantly longer to read the diary I submitted. This is not only because the diary she kept is the original and has denser content, but also because He has already read the other two pages... Others seem less surprised. This is not the first time this has happened, so Mr. Fool will not impose punishment? Also, if similar accidents lead to punishment, everyone's enthusiasm for collecting diaries will inevitably decrease..."

While guessing, she lowered her gaze and also noticed the three playing cards covering the bronze table.

There was only one card before, but suddenly there were three cards. What are these cards that are worthy of God to keep beside her... Her thoughts were racing, and she inadvertently focused her eyes on Mr. Fool. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again, and her body felt like phantom pain, remembering the last unbearable experience.

Feeling that different eyes briefly stayed on him and then quickly moved away, they finally focused on "Card of Blasphemy" in front of him. Klein chuckled secretly and put down the diary in his hand.

Except for the diary apparently contributed by "Hermit" from Bernadette, the other two pages are lackluster and full of daily experiences of Emperor Roselle's early years, including the experience of hunting for women before becoming the father of "Queen Mystic", and the emotion of yearning for the taste of Demoness after hearing various rumors.

Do I still know if Demoness tastes good... Well, that's so rude to Angel... Klein straightened his expression and asked "Hermit" and "Empress" what kind of reward they needed for their contribution to the diary.

In view of the fact that Mr. Fool has helped himself and Klein a lot recently, Angel only asked to keep the contribution, but "Hermit" Cattleya purposefully asked to know who else was the protagonist in that diary page besides the emperor, which attracted everyone's attention.

Obviously, Ms. "Hermit" knew, or at least knew the general content of this diary page, that she would ask this question.

And Fool's answer is also very concise: Mr. "Door".

This riddle-like question and answer confused everyone, including Cattleya herself, but she was only asking the question for "Queen Mystic" who provided the diary. She didn't have too many doubts, so she expressed her gratitude and ended the conversation.

Seeing that she no longer asked, Klein smiled with satisfaction and whispered:

"You can start communicating."

Then, he rushed in front of the eager "Justice", switched to the "world" perspective, looked at Angel, and said:

"I request to communicate with 'Empress' Miss alone."

Then he tapped the table with the body of "Fool", indicating that he had blocked other people's senses.

It's so tiring to do all the drama, but luckily I'm already "Marionettist", otherwise I wouldn't be able to switch between the two identities so smoothly. It would be easy for "The World" to raise his hand and knock on the table, and "Fool" to ask for a private communication. That would be the most embarrassing scene since I traveled through time... He cursed and said with the body of "The World":

"Have you arrived at Backlund?"

According to the agreement between the two, if Angel has not returned to Backlund before Tarot Club this time, they must use messenger to notify the other party to avoid accidents.

"Yes, I just arrived in the morning. I met some old friends and learned about the situation in recent months and... prices."

When Angel said the last word, he immediately thought of the high housing prices of West Borough and Empress Borough, and a heartache expression inevitably appeared on his face.

Klein also recalled the rental information he learned from the new housekeeper Walter when he hired him in the morning. He nodded with emotion and continued:

"This is necessary to maintain the 'glossy'... sacrifice. I am going to live in North Borough and prepare to explore the internal situation of Saint Samuel Cathedral. Whether I ultimately obtain the notes through trading or Stealing, I must learn more information in advance.

"I haven't had time to find Mr. Azik to clean up the contamination of that Night Emblem, so I rashly let it enter Backlund. I'm afraid it might be easily attacked by other forces. I temporarily handed it back to Mr. Fool and will use it again when the time is right."

I was only thinking about my own convenience, but I forgot that Mr. Azik was being tracked by Orthodox Church, especially Goddess Church, which almost led him into the crisis-ridden Backlund... Angel thought with some shame.

Fortunately, the two of them have not yet settled in Backlund. There are still too many things to be busy with, and they will not be in contact with the church in a short time, so they put this matter behind their minds for the time being and turn to the ownership of another item.

"About the silver-white scale that brought you Luck, I used the paper crane to ask Will Auceptin. The other party was a little nervous and said that it was undoubtedly the work of another 'Snake of Mercury' Ouroboros, and it was not They are not Mythical Creature Form's scales, because His body surface is scaleless... This is a direct incarnation of His power, which can bring Luck or Misfortune's power to a specific target, even much stronger than what Anderson suffered."

Klein relayed the words of "Snake of Fate" who was still in her mother's belly due to the activation of Reincarnation, with a smile on her face.

"Will was once forced to end his life many times and enter 'Reboot' because of Ouroboros's pursuit. Therefore, he was very afraid of this 'Angel of fate'. He proposed It is recommended that we either throw away the scales or seal them up to prevent our fate from being affected, and the Good Luck obtained in the short term should be returned with others, maybe Misfortune, maybe others...

"He commented that Ouroboros intervened in advance when you were bound to kill 'Rose School' Demigod. Very... well, He said some bad things about the other party."

Hearing this, Angel also had an awkward smile on his face.

Being sandwiched between two Sequence 1s who are hostile to each other, there will always be some discomfort.

Fortunately, the scales have been sacrificed to Mr. Fool, but I did receive help from "Luck" in the battle for promotion. This may be the reason for the other party to seek reward... She sighed secretly and ended the individual communication at the prompt of Mr. Fool.

Although he found that Miss Empress was a little depressed, "Justice" Audrey still took advantage of the moment when his senses were restored, and said with some excitement and expectation:

"Mr. Fool, may I ask, what are the two new cards in front of you?"

She already guessed the answer, but still wanted final confirmation.

"They are two new 'Card of Blasphemy'. The price to view them is the same as before, three pages of diary, or equivalent historical knowledge."

The last half sentence is obviously aimed at "Sun" Derrick who cannot collect diaries.

Sure enough it is "Card of Blasphemy"!

Audrey's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to open her diary and directly look at the name "Sequence 0" recorded on the two cards, but she restrained this impulse as she was no longer a newbie entering the mysterious world.

Fortunately, I have already established a Antiquities Protection Foundation when completing the commission for "Psychology Alchemists". I can use this as an excuse to publicly collect the emperor's diary. Maybe in another month, no, two to three weeks, I will know their secrets... She planned excitedly, looking at the other Tarot Club members.

"Well, Mr. Hanged Man is equally surprised, but he is not an impulsive person and may have similar thoughts to me; Mr. Sun is not very interested. All his efforts seem to be to improve his strength in order to help 'City of Silver' get rid of the current situation. Other things can be placed second. He is such a kind person...'Moon' is a little confused about this, and we collectively watch '' Black Emperor' card, he was not one of us; 'Empress'Miss was not surprised, nor did he ask to watch the new 'Card of Blasphemy' with the credit of just dedicating the diary ', but is still immersed in a depressed mood... She already knows that this is 'Card of Blasphemy', or... she is the person who collects Mr. Fool cards?"

Through the "Psychiatrist" ability that has completed acting and digesting, Audrey analyzed the reactions of other members and came up with possibilities that surprised her.

At the same time, "Hermit" Cattleya, who was sitting at the end of the female side, also fell into thinking for a long time because of Fool's short answer.

Having followed "Queen Mystic" Bernadette for a long time, and being a member of Mystery Pryer Pathway's Sequence 5 "Astronomer" and "Moses Ascetic Order", Cattleya has a certain understanding of the "Card of Blasphemy" produced by Emperor Roselle and knows that they record the knowledge of Potion corresponding to Pathway.

But she was curious about the reactions of other Tarot Club members.

Most of them didn't seem to be much surprised by "Card of Blasphemy" itself, but were just curious about the contents of the two new cards... Before this, they had already seen at least one "Card of Blasphemy", and understood what the legacy of these Emperor Roselle represents?

First, she discovered the identity of Low Sequence, the emerging power of various organizations, and then discussed information such as "King of Angel". Finally, it was the turn of knowledge lost in the long river of history... She was surprised to find that she was no longer so surprised by the "person" of Tarot Club.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one was willing to pay 6 pages of the diary to watch Card of Blasphemy's secrets in advance, Tarot Club's "trading time" officially began.

"Everyone, I got a Beyonder Characteristic from Sequence 4. Is anyone interested in this?"

Angel, who had just seen the power of money from Lola, couldn't wait to speak.

She was prepared to ask for 30,000 pounds, and was mentally prepared to be negotiated to 25,000 pounds. This is an inference based on the selling price of Sequence 5 Beyonder Characteristic. After all, she had never seen items of this level for sale before.

Contrary to her expectations, even the generous "Justice" Audrey didn't rush to speak. Several people looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence. Only "Hanged Man" sitting opposite her had a glaring look in his eyes, as if he knew something in advance.

After a while, "Hermit" Cattleya asked:

"Can I ask which Pathway and Sequence 4 it is?"

There was a subtle hint of vigilance in her tone...

and respect.
