After thinking for a moment, Klein said, "Deal."
He naturally knew that any information at this level was worth far more than 600 Pounds. Or rather, it could no longer be measured in money.
Emperor's willingness to trade such information was itself a form of preferential treatment for Tarot Club members.
Hobart said, "What I previously referred to as 'God Above the Gods' is called an Ancient One. Remember to have Justice give you the corresponding Psychological Suggestion later."
Klein savored the term he had just heard. "Ancient One!"
Only then did he realize that although Emperor had promised to answer only "yes" or "no," his answers had still been far more detailed than expected.
Hobart continued, "According to the information I learned from the Creator, an Ancient One does indeed occupy the Crimson Moon, but It has not been sealed!"
Klein nodded. It seemed that Rosell had truly encountered an Ancient One on the Crimson Moon. Had he been shocked by the Ancient One's immense power? Was that why he had prepared to become a god?
He then asked, "Are the Ancient Ones enemies? Are there many of them? Why hasn't the power of the Ancient Ones appeared on the Northern and Southern Continent... No, They seem to have appeared. Could the Desire Mother Tree be an Ancient One?"
This reminded Klein of the pollution the Desire Mother Tree had plotted against him when he had acted as Admiral Amyrius.
Even now, recalling it sent a chill down his spine.
Hobart said, "You can only ask one of those questions."
After pondering for a while, Klein manipulated World to ask, "Is the Desire Mother Tree an Ancient One?"
"Yes."
Behind the Gray Fog, Klein gave a bitter smile. Today, I learned that an Ancient One has been watching me!
