It seems that there are indeed many benefits to temporarily storing the "Demoness" and "Red Priest" cards with him... This knowledge is probably rarely circulated within Orthodox Church, let alone among wild Beyonder...

Angel breathed a sigh of relief, carefully remembered the contents of the parchment, and watched it disappear as if it had never existed.

"You guys go ahead."

The figure of Fool shrouded in Gray Fog slowly moved back, leaned on the back of the chair, and gave instructions.

"Justice" Audrey was still immersed in the shock of "Miss Empress obtained two Card of Blasphemy" and "knowledge that is temporarily unused". When he heard this, he was about to speak, but was overtaken by "Hanged Man" sitting opposite:

"I request to communicate with Miss Empress alone."

Audrey's eyes suddenly became dark.

Oh, it turned out that her senses were blocked... She opened her mouth silently, realizing the ignorance of other members Affliction when she checked "Card of Blasphemy" just now.

Seeing the signal from "Fool", "Hanged Man" Alger suppressed the curiosity that was also constantly surging in his heart and said to Angel:

"I have already found out about 'Mad Captain' Connors Victor."

This was the agreement between Angel and Alger a few weeks ago. The latter used Church of Storms's internal investigation of Sona Island's bloody sacrifice incident and Mad Captain's human trafficking case to offset part of the "Ocean Songster" formula and Beyonder Characteristic's arrears.

"In late February, 'Mad Captain' Connors and his One-Eyed Skull transported a group of carefully selected girls to the private port in the suburbs of Bayam, planning to sell them to Red Theater. Of course, a small number may be given to big shots in the Governor's Mansion and the military port, but the higher-ups have no intention of conducting an in-depth investigation. I did not get this list."

Alger recounted the information he got from chatting with his friends in the tavern after getting them drunk. Angel compared it with the information he observed from a "first-person perspective" and found that the information Church of Storms obtained by interrogating the living pirates and Spirit Channeling the dead was quite limited, and only had two more points than she knew:

First of all, Demigod, the one who killed "Mad Captain" and "finger" Maduni, successfully escaped the arrest of "Sea King", but Church of Storms got the opponent's physical characteristics: wearing a cloak, his face was Beyonder Ability Distortion, his height was between 1.85 and 1.9 meters, his arms were longer than normal, almost hanging down to his knees, and his legs were slightly outward.

Secondly, through questioning those girls, Church of Storms discovered that the scale of the human trade involved in "Mad Captain" was far greater than the rumored scale, and that thousands of slaves were handled every year. Their whereabouts are a mystery, but it is impossible for all of them to be sold to Red Theater or similar places.

These two pieces of information are very valuable. The former gives Angel the opportunity to recognize the mysterious Demigod immediately when he sees him. After all, with the disguise and Anti-Divination on his face, he basically won't tamper with his body anymore.

The latter corroborates with Black Cat Wensa's statement that "Demoness Sect" only used Great Smog to cover up a large number of missing persons. It is determined that the military or royal factions that cooperated with it, for some ulterior purpose, robbed East Borough of a large number of low-level people, whose number may be as high as tens of thousands, with the help of "Mad Captain" and more human traffickers.

"What actions will Church of Storms take regarding this matter?"

After listening to the information obtained by Alger, Angel asked.

"The Mandated Punisherss of Bayam are very anxious because of the battle between 'Rose School' and... some Adventurer in the suburbs half a month ago. Well, we can only shelve this unfinished case... But do you remember that I asked you to investigate the human trafficker Baelen? Church of Storms will not ignore it."

Alger explained, and finally couldn't help but defend his church.

Although he also felt that the Mandated Punisherss wanted "Angelica" and "Gehrman" who did not cause much harm, but they shelved the human trafficking cases without distinguishing the severity.

"I hope so..." Angel replied perfunctorily, and then changed the subject, "Have you completed the ceremony and been promoted to Sequence 5?"

She remembered that the formula for "Ocean Songster" mentioned that Potion needs to be taken in the belly of a "Obninsk". This is a sea monster with three heads and a large number of tentacles. It has been basically tamed by Church of Storms, raised near the Sonia Sea's Pasu Island, and is firmly under their control.

It's no wonder that Obninsk is a necessity for promotion to "Sailor" Pathway Sequence 5. By doing so, they have monopolized the ascending channel. Even if the formula is leaked, it is almost impossible for wild Beyonder to be successfully promoted... In contrast, Yes, it is very strange that Church of the Evernight Goddess keeps mermaids in captivity for the promotion of "Marionettist". There are only a small number of "Seer" Low Sequence Beyonder in the church. What is the significance of their monopoly on this Pathway?

I don't know that Angel had so many thoughts in his mind, Alger was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Not yet. I'm going to ask Ms. 'Hermit' about the sea monster needed for the ceremony... You should already know her identity, right?"

He knew that "Empress" and "The World" had followed "Hermit" to the sea.

"Yes."

Angel answered honestly, looking at "Hermit".

In the darkness and silence, Cattleya was using his precious time to think about what Mr. "Fool" just said.

There is no doubt that He is telling the Queen behind me that she can exchange "Card of Blasphemy" for the secret of the diary. She does have two, no, there are three "Card of Blasphemy" now, and she has said that if necessary, she can use these as conditions in exchange for several key answers to the secret of Emperor Roselle...

She almost wanted to agree to Mr. Fool's request immediately after the "individual communication" was over, and let the Queen send those Card of Blasphemy in exchange for a few pages of translated diaries to watch with her own eyes.

But Cattleya knew that a big reason for this was because of Sequence, "Astronomer" where he was, his desire for occult knowledge, so he quickly suppressed his inner impulse and decided to discuss it with the Queen after Tarot Club was over before making a decision.

Moreover, according to Mr. Fool, the contents of the several pages of the diary this time are only meaningful to "Empress" Miss, which means that it can be used at least until Sequence 4. It is useless for her to worry.

After soothing her restless heart, Cattleya felt that her thirst for knowledge and inexplicable fear were relieved. The next moment, her vision returned to normal, and the other Tarot Club members appeared one by one at the long table.

Seeing that the individual communication ended and mutual transactions entered, she immediately looked at "Magician" beside her and said:

"I need clues about the direct descendants of the Abraham Family, and the reward is 1,000 pounds."

She looked directly at the commission I posted, indicating that she knew that my teacher was a member of the Abraham Family... Well, I had told other Tarot Club members about this, even if "Hermit "The lady joined later, and it is not difficult to understand..."Magician" Fors Although she was very excited about 1,000 pounds, she would not betray the information of people close to her, so she just said carefully:

"Why are you looking for the Abraham Family?"

"It's related to Mr. Gate we have discussed. You just need to tell them this. It's up to them to decide whether you want to contact or cooperate further. Of course, regardless of success or failure, I will pay you 350 pounds. If the contact is successful, I will pay the rest."

Cattleya replied.

It doesn't sound malicious, and I can choose to only earn the 350 pounds to ensure the safety of the teacher... Recently, I published two novels as an agent and earned a lot of commissions, but spent more. Fors was deeply moved. After thinking for a moment, he replied:

"Okay."

With this successful transaction, other Tarot Club members also began to publish, accept commissions, and exchange their resources with each other.

"Hermit" obtained the Black Hunting Giant Lizard spinal fluid needed by "Justice", and the Meteor Crystal needed by "Magician", showing his powerful ability as Pirate Admiral, "Sun"Derrick bought the Auxiliary Materials needed to upgrade "Notary" from "Moon" Emlyn. Maybe next week, Tarot Club will have one more Sequence 6.

"After getting the spinal fluid, I will collect the Potion materials needed for 'Hypnotist', and the digestion of 'Psychiatrist' has been completed," Audrey said first after the transaction session ended and entered the communication session, "But I still hesitate, should I be promoted to Sequence 6 immediately?"

"Are you worried that 'Psychology Alchemists' will find out that you were promoted too quickly and become suspicious of you?"

"Hanged Man", who has rich fighting experience, immediately saw through the reason for Audrey's hesitation.

"Yes, now I am in my family's castle and I am not worried about their censorship. But in June, I will return to Backlund. It is inevitable that I will have frequent contact with other 'Psychology Alchemists' members. Maybe they will notice something abnormal."

The family castle is not the kind of castle that costs tens of thousands of pounds to repair and maintain every year... Alger sucked the words he was about to answer back into his stomach, and it took him a long time to recover, and continued:

"I think that your ability to avoid scrutiny by delaying promotion is extremely limited. The higher your Sequence is, the more likely you are to resist psychological scrutiny and exploration. And when you are ready, you can ask Mr. Fool for Angel's blessing, just like you did before."

"Only by improving your Sequence can you take the initiative in your own hands." Angel also added on the side.

As Tarot Club is currently the only High Sequence Beyonder, her words are undoubtedly more effective than "Hanged Man". Audrey thought for a moment and nodded as if she had made up her mind:

"As soon as I received the Potion materials, I prepared for promotion."

In this way, "Justice", "Sun", "Magician", and this week Tarot Club are likely to have three members promoted at the same time... No, if "Hanged Man" successfully finds traces of the sea monster, there will be four!

It's been a few months since three members were promoted at the same time within a week...

Angel looked at several members one by one, feeling quite relieved that an "elder" is watching the younger generations grow.

At this moment, "Magician" said softly:

"Everyone, do you remember my last 'murder commission'?" She said slowly, carefully considering her words so as not to scare others like last time, "Louis Wien, Oracle of Aurora Order, I found his traces."

I remember that you said "I want to kill someone"... Angel pursed his lips and looked at the other members. He found that everyone still remembered that embarrassing moment, and they all looked at this member with polite eyes.
