Tarot Club Trading Time

Next came Mr. Fool's reading time.

Alger and Audrey naturally noticed that throughout this, Alice had been studying Derrick with eyes full of amazement and curiosity.

She knew where Derrick came from? Was that the question she had asked? They both made the same guess.

In the tacit silence of the group, Klein finished reading the diary and said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to wait for me."

"It is our honor." Alger assumed a humble posture.

After thinking for a moment, Audrey said with a faint smile, "Mr. Fool, the method you previously described for selecting administrative officials through open examinations has already gained the approval of the King and Prime Minister. It will soon pass through the Upper House and Lower House, and is expected to formally enter implementation early next year."

"Looks like the King and Prime Minister still have brains." Alger's mockery made Alice unable to resist glancing at him. After all, it sounded as though this gentleman's life in the real world was far from pleasant.

Having successfully secured Benson a job opportunity, Klein smiled and nodded. Audrey straightened her already very straight back and smiled at Alger again. "Mr. Hanged Man, I have obtained the answer to the matter you asked me to confirm. The King has already been persuaded by the Prime Minister not to retaliate against the Feysac Empire on the East Coast of Bayam in a Short Time. I think you should pay the additional compensation you promised."

It sounded like Miss Justice didn't think this was information that needed to be kept from the others—Alice, who had entered the audience seats along with Little Sun, thought to herself.

Next, Audrey quite naturally demanded clues about the Psychology Alchemists or clues regarding the Main Ingredient for the Mind Reader potion as compensation. After Alger agreed, the transaction was completed.

Alice noticed that Derrick had remained utterly bewildered throughout the conversation. He looked as though he knew nothing about the Outside World.

Having achieved her intended goal, Audrey had planned to remain quiet, but she suddenly remembered what had happened to her and spoke again. "Recently, I've come into contact with some Beyonder circles and learned of a powerful figure called Mr. V. Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Sun, Miss Fortune, do you know his background and true identity?"

Derrick, who understood none of it, remained silent.

Alice looked at Audrey with a Strange Expression and replied, "Do You Know, I've already heard about a Mr. A and a Mr. Z. I Didn't Expect you to encounter a Mr. V as well."

The Hanged Man, who had been about to speak, fell silent at this. Audrey pressed on, "Miss Fortune, are you saying that this Mr. V and the Mr. A and Mr. Z you mentioned belong to the same organization?"

Alice explained:

"I can't be certain. I know that both Mr. A and Mr. Z come from the Aurora Order. The Aurora Order has five Saints and twenty-two Divine Emissaries. These Divine Emissaries use letters as codenames, and their strength lies between Sequence 7 and Sequence 5. They are all quite skilled at hiding themselves, and whenever one dies, a replacement appears.

"But I can't be sure that the Mr. V you mentioned is the Mr. V of the Aurora Order. I can only tell you that the possibility is very high. You'd best be careful around that Mr. V.

"By the way, this information came from the Church of the Lord of Storms. As far as I know, the Aurora Order has always been targeting the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

The information came from the Church of the God of Storms? Alger could not help frowning. He instinctively began considering Alice's relationship with the Church of the God of Storms, but no matter what, he would never have imagined that this information had actually passed through the Church of Evernight first...

Hearing this, Audrey silently raised her guard in her heart and thanked Alice. "Thank you for your answer, Miss Fortune. What do you need as compensation?"

"You know what I want." Alice shrugged. "But it looks like information about the School of Life or Beyonders of the Monster pathway isn't easy to obtain?"

Audrey smiled apologetically, and Alger took the chance to join the conversation. "I encountered a Beyonder of the Monster pathway at sea."

Alice's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again. "What do you need... Oh Wait, he's at sea. Even if I had information about him, No Way I could go meet him."

"You need to meet him?" Alger was confused. He had thought Alice was searching for clues to advance.

"To be precise, I need him to see me." Alice leaned back against her chair. "I need to know what exactly Beyonders of the Monster pathway can see in my Fate."

Alger pondered before speaking with some uncertainty. "After suffering a shipwreck, he is temporarily staying aboard my ship..."

He did not finish what he was about to say, but Alice understood his meaning—if she did not mind exposing her identity, her request could still be fulfilled. But... Alice's problem was not that at all. The key issue was that, as a Nighthawk, she simply could not leave Tingen City.

"How about this, Mr. Hanged Man?" Alice sighed regretfully. "I hope you can obtain information such as his address... Is That Okay?"

"I will try." Alger accepted this approach. With the thought that if the soft approach failed, he would use force, he replied, "I hope this can replace the compensation Miss Justice owes you. If I cannot obtain the information you need, I will continue searching or consider other compensation."

Alice agreed, and Audrey asked, "Then, Mr. Hanged Man, what do you need me to pay?"

"I hope to use this, along with further additional compensation, in exchange for your help with something." Alger said in a low voice.

"What kind of help?" Audrey asked in confusion.

Alger stated his request. "I received intelligence that the great pirate Qilingus, known as Vice Admiral Hurricane, secretly came ashore and infiltrated Backlund. Don't Know what he intends to do. I hope you can help me find his whereabouts. As for what comes afterward, I Don't Need you to take any risks."

"Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingus? One of the Seven Pirate Generals?" Audrey's eyes widened.

"Pirate General?" Alice pressed on in confusion. After all, ever since she woke up, she had remained in Tingen City and lacked any understanding of the sea.

"Yes. He is also a Sequence 6 Beyonder of the Sailor pathway, a Wind Blessed. At the same time, he possesses a Mystical Item, which can also be called a Sealed Artifact. He is extremely cunning and cruel. Do not attempt to deal with him." Alger introduced him solemnly.

At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked toward Klein. "Mr. Fool, may I request your Blessed to provide assistance at a critical moment? I will pay a price that interests you."
