The crimson light appeared and disappeared like a tide. In the grand and majestic palace, the figures of Tarot Club members appeared on high-backed chairs.

This is not the first time Angel has participated in Tarot Club on a moving ship, but without Klein by his side, it is the first time that Spirit Body has left his body alone and entered this space filled with Gray Fog.

Although she had her own room on the "Red Haired Woman", and had arranged the Wall of Spirituality in advance, and used Mirror Magic to create the "Mirror Labyrinth" that ordinary people would be confused and trapped in, she still inevitably felt a little anxious and worried.

Fortunately, the friendly and warm eyes and crisp greetings of "Justice" Audrey next to her, as well as the searching gaze of "The World" Klein at the end of the long table, made her quickly settle down and greet Mr. Fool and other members one by one.

During the Tarot Club fight before the battle with Amon's Avatar, the sincere "Star" Leonard Mitchell had submitted another five pages of the diary to Fool. At this moment, his hands were empty and he looked at the other members uneasily. Fortunately, they did not open their mouths to submit their diaries, which made him secretly relieved and his upright posture relaxed.

Hearing that there was no new "Rosell's Insights" to watch this week, "Fool" Klein did not show any disappointment. After new members join, they usually have a few meetings to gain more diaries, and then they will fall into this state of no harvest. He has long been used to it, so he gently knocked on the long bronze table and said:

"Then, let's get started."

This means the beginning of transactions between members.

Angel immediately looked at the tall, somewhat absent-minded "Moon" Emlyn, and said loudly:

"I need the blood of nine centenarians. Each portion needs to be more than 10 milliliters, a total of 500 pounds."

This weird transaction request immediately turned everyone's attention to her.

"Do you need any living people?" A confused voice came from beside her, "Magician" Miss, and then the member added, "I mean, are the people who just died okay?"

After graduating from Backlund Medical College, she worked as a doctor for a period of time before switching to become a full-time novelist. She knew many colleagues. If she worked hard, she could find some recently deceased centenarians and use the various tricks of "Apprentice" to get some blood. There would be no problem.

But first of all, this was disrespectful to the deceased, and secondly, she was not short of money at the moment, so she had no intention of accepting the commission and asked purely out of curiosity.

But Potion's formula didn't specify whether it wanted a living person or a dead person... Angel also muttered in his heart, and answered after a moment:

"It needs to be a living person when extracting."

Her answer was based on mystical knowledge, because after the death of ordinary people, the Spirituality in the body will quickly escape to the surroundings, even if it is Beyonder, if it does not have divinity, it will precipitate in Beyonder Characteristic, Spirit Body After dissipates, the Spirituality in the body will soon be lost and become an ordinary corpse - unless it is combined with one's own Beyonder Characteristic, or is affected by the power of mysticism and becomes a Zombie.

"I can help you get the blood, but it will take about a week. Well, Tarot Club should be able to tell you the results next week."

Emlyn said, folding his arms across his chest and leaning back on the chair slightly proudly.

I knew that as a blood-sucking... no, Sanguine member, and whose parents are well-known doctors, he would definitely be able to find many long-lived elderly people and obtain the blood without harming their health... Angel nodded with satisfaction, but then reminded:

"It can only be the blood of ordinary people."

She was worried that the other party would find a few people of the same race who had lived for hundreds of years and easily make the 500 pounds, while she would use the blood containing extra Spirituality or even a small amount of Beyonder Characteristic to configure Potion, and die out of control.

"I'm talking about ordinary people. The blood of the noble Sanguine is not at this price... No, it will not be sold at all!"

"Moon" Mr. replied in a serious tone.

I heard that you cooperated with other Tarot Club members last week and sent a Sanguine Viscount to the church of Earth Mother, asking him to do hard labor on your behalf. Why didn't you respect your own people at that time... Angel cursed and stopped talking.

Seeing that the two people had concluded the deal, Mr. "Sun" also asked:

"I want to buy some powerful Charm, mainly for its aggressiveness... Also, do you have any idea how to create 'pure darkness'?"

The former is that he is making corresponding preparations for the next time he leaves City of Silver to explore. This has been hinted by the "chief", allowing him to use some Beyonder Ingredients owned by City of Silver in exchange. The latter is for To prepare for promotion to "Priest of Light", you need to take Potion in pure darkness, surrounded by ice that will not melt. For Forsaken Land of the Gods, darkness is the same as missing and death.

"Creating darkness can be done by using Charm in the 'Evernight' field. I don't know if this is pure darkness, but if there is such darkness in the world, it must be the field of Evernight Goddess."

"Star" Leonard replied in a pious tone, attracting the attention of "Hanged Man" and "Hermit".

There is no doubt that in the eyes of these people, you have been labeled "Nighthawks", Mr. Poet... Angel chuckled secretly and took over:

"I can make the powerful Charm, but it needs something like 'Worm of Time', which is the kind of translucent bug left behind after the death of the Amon clone that possessed you before. If you have any extra, you can Or substitutes of the same level, I can manufacture the corresponding Charm, which can cause fatal damage to Beyonder or extraordinary creatures at the Demigod level... Each one costs only 3,000 pounds."

The price is roughly equivalent to the weaker ones among the "2" level Sealed Artifact, but it sounds stronger than the "1" level Sealed Artifact. Is this the Charm that Angel uses to kill Amon's clone?

Leonard looked at "Empress" Angel with some surprise, and wanted to use the few "Worm of Time" that belonged to him to make corresponding Charm, as its own trump card, can even cooperate with "Luck Stealer" to directly attack itself with Charm, and then exchange the fate of being hit with the enemy, achieving the almost unavoidable Lethal Strike.

Go back and ask Old Man... He murmured and found that Mr. "Sun" had already agreed and was going to go to his chief to find out if there were alternative materials after finishing Tarot Club. "Hermit" also expressed some interest in this kind of Charm, but due to the lack of corresponding materials, the deal was not reached.

When the conversation between the two female members stopped, "Hanged Man" Alger looked around, his eyes locked on "Star" Leonard, and asked:

"Last time you said you wanted to acquire the powerful 'Sealed Artifact'... I mean, Mystical Item, do you still need it now?"

He once again completed the mission of the church and returned to Bayam. He had the opportunity to join several secret Underground Gatherings, and his desire to help buy and sell items as an "intermediary" became active again.

"Mr. World has sold me that cane."

Leonard declined politely. He calculated his savings in his mind and found that he had less than 1,000 pounds left. Not to mention Mystical Item, even the rare Beyonder Ingredients could not be afforded.

How about selling two pieces of "Worm of Time"... He looked at the "Hermit" and "Sun" that were just interested in Angel and Charm, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Before the thoughts in his mind could solidify into words, the party, which no longer had any new transaction requests, entered the next stage.

"The situation at sea has changed a lot recently. After 'Pirate Conference', the pirates who originally avoided important waterways and had almost penetrated Fog Sea and Sonia Sea have become active again. Several ships gathered together and forced their way into the channel from Pritz Harbor to Bayam, preparing to make a big profit, but they were repelled by Loen Navy with a stronger attitude, causing heavy losses to both sides."

"Hanged Man" Alger was the first to speak, sharing his experience of going to sea this time.

At the same time, he secretly looked at "Golden Queen" on the opposite side and "Admiral of Stars" a little further away, and found that they had no intention of answering, so he continued:

"This is very unusual. Normally, every summer, there are fewer tourists and more specialties shipped to the North Continent. Pirates will also reduce their plundering, because most goods are not as 'profitable' as passengers... Similarly, the navy's response was also unexpected. They seem to intend to completely drive the pirates out of the entire sea area and expand their control outwards..."

"Isn't this normal? They are regular troops, and it is their duty to destroy all pirates."

"Judgment" Xio Derecha who was watching asked rhetorically. She did not dare to participate in the transaction that cost several thousand pounds before and the price exceeded her life savings. However, as a half member of "MI9", she was still somewhat interested in Alger's words.

"Hermit" Cattleya chuckled and answered Qixiu's question instead of Alger who was about to speak:

"Loen's ships are not the only ones operating on the sea. Feysac, Feynapotter, Intis, and even small countries will also be harassed by pirates. Maintaining an appropriate presence of pirates will be beneficial to the Loen Kingdom, not to mention..." She glanced at Angel, "... many pirates are actually agents of various countries."

"So they shouldn't be like, um, leaving no stone unturned?"

Xio frowned and asked.

Alger nodded and replied:

"Yes, the current trend of the regular army does not seem to be to solve all pirates, but to carry out a comprehensive attack, leave a period of safety, and then repair, otherwise they should send out all ironclad ships instead of just relying on old warships to fight the pirates.

"This makes me suspect that Loen is preparing for some major events in the second half of the year... I remember a year ago, 'Justice' Miss mentioned that Prime Minister and his staff We Persuasion King will not launch a war to retaliate Feysac within a year, and now that the one-year period has arrived, I think the possibility of a local war within the year is not small..."

Listening to "Hanged Man"'s eloquent analysis, several Loen people present, including "Fool" Klein who was hidden among Gray Fog at the head of the long table and were listening carefully, fell silent.

Is the shadow of war going to cover the world again?
