"Do you Human Skin Shadow? Where is it?"

Klein was surprised by Luther's unexpected gesture, so he manipulated the [World] puppet to press for answers.

"In a noble tomb from the Fourth Epoch," Luther replied. "Traces of Human Skin Shadow were found around the tomb, confirming the presence of their colony inside."

The Fourth Epoch Tomb he mentioned was naturally Amon's tomb. At the Queen's gathering, Sequence 5 Beyonder named Sharron told him the relevant details.

"A noble tomb from the Fourth Epoch?"

Klein was taken aback, instinctively sensing a dangerous aura emanating from it, but still asked, "What payment do I need to make to obtain its detailed information?"

"No payment is needed, because I don't know the answer yet."

Luther shrugged. "The person who provided me with the information can't be found for the time being."

After the Queen left, Sharron lost contact with him. Before that, she had told him through the Queen that the expedition to explore the tomb had been canceled, and she didn't know why.

"Then I hope you can get in touch with them as soon as possible."

He saw that the gloomy [world] remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, seemingly speechless at his own words.

What's wrong? Didn't you tell me to keep an eye out for it? I'll let you know when there's any news.

Luther thought to himself.

Having observed the transactions between the two individuals, he had a general understanding of the process. He only needed to state his needs, and others would naturally respond if they had any leads. However, based on his observations, the members of the Tarot Club didn't seem particularly capable, and he estimated that his requests wouldn't be met.

But let's give it a try anyway.

So Luther looked around and said loudly:

"I need the Black Knight's Potion recipe. Price negotiable."

After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the Gray Fog.

The Black Knight. Never heard of him.

[Magician] Fors thought with some confusion, having never encountered a similar title in her years as an Extraordinary. She looked around, and most of the members seemed equally bewildered. Only [Sun] seemed different; he suddenly turned sharply to look at Luther.

He seemed very surprised and frightened. Was there something wrong with the Black Knight Potion?

Fors couldn't help but ask, "Um, excuse me, I don't know what Black Knight is. May I ask which Sequence it belongs to?"

"Secrets Suppliant Pathway, Sequence 4."

Luther replied calmly.

His tone was calm, but his words were like a bomb, exploding in everyone's hearts and creating a violent impact.

Sequence 4!

Demigod, half-human!

Even within the powerful Orthodox Churches, such a rank would be considered high-ranking. Consequently, the Potion and formulas would be closely guarded secrets.

And this newly joined Mr. [Temperance] just casually and publicly offered to buy Sequence 4 Potion recipe?

That's giving them way too much credit!

On both sides of the long table, the crowd immediately erupted in commotion, with varying reactions.

He was indeed a practitioner of the Secrets Suppliant Pathway.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Alger the Hanged Man almost immediately regained his composure and made a judgment. Moreover, the opponent wasn't Sequence 6 Rose Bishop, but a higher-ranking Sequence 5, the Shepherd!

It's important to know that currently, the highest level among the members of the Tarot Club is only Sequence 7. They are still striving to advance to Sequence 6, while this newly joined Mr. [Temperance] has already begun to attempt to reach the realm of Demigod.

"May I ask, for whom are you collecting Black Knight Potion?"

Alger carefully considered his words and cautiously confirmed.

"Of course it's me."

Luther answered frankly.

"You! You're the Shepherd!"

Before Alger could even think of what to say next, [The Sun] Derrick, standing beside him, couldn't contain himself and cried out in surprise.

It's no wonder Derrick reacted so strongly; he had recently encountered Catastrophe brought about by the True Creator. His friend had been Corrosion while exploring a temple of an evil god, becoming a fanatical follower of this god. If it weren't for Mr. Fool's help, the consequences would have been unimaginable, leaving [Sun] Derrick with a deep psychological trauma regarding this evil god and his followers.

"Mr. Fool!"

Derrick turned and called to the head of the long table, "He's Shepherd!"

The Shepherd are all followers of that evil god, and allowing such a dangerous being to come here is a threat to everyone!

However, the two ladies opposite them had a different opinion.

Black hair and blue eyes, the Secrets Suppliant Pathway

After their Oldest One surprise, both [The Magician] Fors and [Justice] Audrey gradually realized what was going on. They both, without prior agreement, connected the familiarity they felt about each other to someone they knew in real life.

--Kafka Anderson!

This is a follower of the Mr. Fool, and has no relation to the True Creator.

"That's what Fors was thinking."

Mr. Anderson has actually joined our Tarot Club, and he's even a powerful Extraordinary at Sequence 5!

Audrey had already met Luther before and trusted and knew him to some extent. Having such a reliable and powerful acquaintance join her organization gave her a strong sense of security.

She thought happily, "Our Tarot Club only get better and better."

Knowing some of the inside story, but also misunderstanding some of it, the two women, each with their own thoughts, were shocked but not so frightened.

"Don't worry, I'm not a believer in the True Creator. If I believed in an evil god, do you think I could Mr. Fool? The fact that He accepted me proves I'm safe."

Luther said he didn't seem to care much about the shock the crowd was experiencing.

Upon hearing his explanation, everyone couldn't help but look at the tall figure shrouded in Gray Fog at the head of the long table.

Luther, how could he be so brave as to self-destruct right from the start?

Klein, basking in the gazes of the crowd, inwardly scoffed. But outwardly, he maintained his air of mystery, slowly nodding and chuckling, "His situation is rather special; he doesn't believe in the Fallen Creator."

Mr. Fool's voice echoed Above the Gray Fog. With His assurance, the crowd felt somewhat at ease, but they remained wary of Luther.

"Let's do this then. I'll prove myself in the fastest way possible," Luther said impatiently. "I Curse the True Creator, wishing Him to be dragged off His divine throne and utterly destroyed."

The group erupted in another uproar, and even the previously calm [Justice] and [Magician] were somewhat unsettled.

He actually Curse the gods?

Even the most convincingly disguised believer in an evil god could never utter such blasphemous words to the very being they worship!

Once he said that, all suspicion against him vanished.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Temperance."

[The Sun] stammered an apology, saying awkwardly, "I recently encountered something related to the Fallen Creator, so I'm being a bit sensitive."

"It doesn't matter."

Luther said calmly, "Not only do I not believe in that evil god, on the contrary, I hate him to the core. I will slaughter all his followers and tear him off his damned Cross, personally offering him the most intense and ferocious blasphemy."

Although his voice was soft, the hatred and madness in his tone were palpable, making everyone uneasy.

"So, does any of you have the Black Knight's recipe?"

Luther vented his anger briefly, then returned to his previous calm demeanor and asked again. The transition between the two states was so smooth, as if he had switched personalities.

Everyone remained silent.

Among them, the highest-ranking was only Sequence 7, how could they possibly have access to Sequence 4 Potion recipe?

In the strangely quiet atmosphere, [The Sun] Derrick hesitated before speaking:

I think I have a lead.
