"The Sun" Derrick

After accidentally touching upon the core of the Acting Method, although Alice did not feel much sense of urgency about Digesting the Potion, she could still sense that her progress was advancing by leaps and bounds compared to before.

Having long seen Dunn in her dreams and realized that Dunn Had Some Guesses about the Acting Method, Klein had also completed his own hinting during this time, Gained the Clown Potion, and successfully advanced to Clown... Well, after all, he Didn't Need to exchange for another formula. As long as he had the Main Ingredient, that was enough.

Obviously, Klein was still immersed in the excitement of finishing Digesting the Potion and had not considered looking into the fates of those predecessors who had comprehended the Acting Method.

Thus, at the next Tarot Club gathering, Alice saw a new member.

"This is a new member, codenamed 'The Sun.'" A calm voice came from the head of the Bronze Long Table. "This is Miss Justice, this is Miss Fate, and this is Mr. Hanged Man."

Alice curiously Sized Up The Sun. She Realized that The Sun before her was not much older than she was. His movements revealed obvious nervousness and restraint, but...

If Justice and The Hanged Man were here because of experiments, and she was here because she had exposed Klein's identity, then why was The Sun here?

Before Alice could think it through carefully, she heard Audrey's voice. "Mr. Fool, I've collected another two pages of Emperor Roselle's diary."

Alice suddenly thought of a good way to ask questions and raised her hand. "Mr. Fool, I've also collected a page of Emperor Roselle's diary."

No matter how chaotic Mr. Fool's thoughts might have been, he had no choice but to smile and ask Alice and Audrey, "Miss Justice, Miss Fate, what do you wish to obtain?"

Alice Looked Towards Audrey. She intended to wait for Audrey's answer and see whether she could use it as a reference—after all, she did not actually have a diary, so naturally she could not truly ask for anything...

Audrey then said with feigned reserve, "As you know, I'm about to finish Digesting the Spectator Potion. I hope to obtain the Mind Reader Potion Formula earlier, so I can prepare the materials in advance. Hmm, I know the contents of these two diary pages are limited and may not match the value of the Mind Reader formula. I'll give you another page later, and... I'll also pay you an additional sum of money..."

Alice looked at Audrey In Surprise, finding it Difficult To Understand why she would say such a thing to Klein—how could anyone think of giving money to a god! Though she felt Klein would probably like the proposal...

Without needing Alice's gaze as a reminder, Audrey had already Realized that her words were inappropriate. She instantly dropped out of her Spectator state and hurriedly Explained, "That's not what I meant! Mr. Fool, I mean, you can name the compensation you want. Yes, that's it!"

Alice silently withdrew her gaze.

At this moment, "The Sun," Derrick, suddenly joined the conversation. "The Mind Reader Potion Formula? The Mind Reader after Psychoanalyst?"

Klein might have his business stolen. Alice Blinked Her Eyes. While taking delight in his misfortune, she also sharply noticed something was off—Derrick had used the ancient name "Psychoanalyst."

Derrick clearly did not notice everyone's scrutinizing gazes. He very seriously stole Mr. Fool's business. "I can help you get that formula!"

The simple Little Sun even felt guilty because he could not produce the formula right away, and Explained, "This is a Sequence that Originated From the Dragon race. Our City of Silver was once under the rule of the Giant King's Court. As you know, Giants and Dragons are mortal enemies, so City of Silver has Sequences 9, 8, and 7 of this Sequence. I have a way to get it."

At this moment, Alice suddenly had the urge to see Klein's expression through the fog, though she did not possess such an ability.

But where exactly was City of Silver? Audrey asked the question Alice wanted to ask. "City of Silver? I've never Heard Of this place... Where is it?"

Alice Looked Towards Alger. Alger clearly knew nothing about this either, and he was putting on a posture of listening attentively.

Thus, the simple Little Sun once again exposed himself Without Hesitation. "You aren't citizens of City of Silver? Which of the City-States are you from?"

Everyone present promptly fell silent. Having received no answer, Derrick did not bring up the matter again. "I'll obtain the Mind Reader Potion Formula as soon as possible. I want to use it to exchange for the Initial Sequence of the Sun Pathway."

"The Sun Pathway? Sequence 9, Bard?" Alger's question aptly supplemented everyone's lack of knowledge.

Derrick thought for a moment. "It should be that, but I don't know much about it."

To prevent Alger from stealing his business again, the observing Mr. Fool urgently joined the conversation. "I think Miss Justice probably doesn't have the Bard formula."

Audrey nodded.

Mr. Fool continued, "I will give The Sun a Bard formula. The Sun will give the Mind Reader Potion Formula to Miss Justice as soon as possible, preferably within two gatherings. Miss Justice will then give me the newly obtained Roselle's Diary, and the transaction will be completed."

What a hassle... Alice's Train of Thought followed Klein's words around in a circle and successfully got herself confused.

"Hmm, from the principle of Equivalent Exchange, The Sun is at a disadvantage. But he has only made a promise for now. Once he actually produces the Mind Reader formula, Miss Justice can consider how to compensate him. Or I can compensate him, while Miss Justice provides money to one of my Blessed, who needs to do some things recently. Heh heh, this Is Because The Sun might not be able to receive Miss Justice's cash or material compensation."

Alice, who had been wondering where Klein had gotten a Blessed from, suddenly heard something that confused her—The Sun might not be able to receive compensation? Hiss, where exactly had Klein pulled him from?

Audrey and Derrick gladly accepted the proposal, and so the deal was reached.

Then, having already paid one reward, Mr. Fool had no choice but to look at Alice, who had handed in Counterfeit Goods. "Miss Fate, what do you wish to obtain?"

"I request to speak with you alone... Hmm, I have a question I want to ask you."

Klein immediately understood what Alice meant. Sure enough, after separating them from the gazes of the Other People, Alice impatiently asked, "Where exactly did you pull him from?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Klein Explained, "but I guess he may come from the Land Abandoned by God."

"The legendary Land Abandoned by God?" Alice confirmed In Surprise.

"That's Right." Klein nodded.
