Mr. A Is Dead

"Mr. Temperance, could I also have a copy of the list? I'd like to see it too."

"Justice," Audrey couldn't help but ask.

"Sure."

Luther conjured the list once more, and simply gave one to each person, delivering it to everyone except the Fool.

The list not only included the corresponding Sequence and Potion names, but also descriptions of their abilities. In fact, this information alone could probably fetch a couple hundred pounds, but compared to his large order, it was nothing.

Judge capable of issuing Edict, Rose Bishop with formidable Flesh Regeneration abilities, a terrifying Devil, Shadow Ascetic who can command shadows, and the Psychiatrist on my Pathway.

[Justice] Audrey looked at the descriptions on the list, her heart pounding with excitement.

I wish I had all of these abilities!

For a moment, she even felt a little envious of the Shepherd. Because the Shepherd could freely choose from various abilities to create the most suitable combination for himself. However, the Shepherd's Sequence was far too dangerous, and she could only think about it from afar.

"I have some connections that I can try to help you sell some of your Characteristic."

Alger Hanged Man, put down the list and said, "However, I need to take a tenth of the commission."

"Can."

Luther nodded and accepted the other party's terms.

"Furthermore, I have another proposal. I know an Artisan who can be hired to create Beyonder Item with the corresponding Characteristic," Alger continued. "In that case, both the item's use value and price will be increased."

Besides serving as the Main Ingredient in Potion, this Characteristic can also fuse with other items, spontaneously unleashing its abilities. Of course, such items generally have more negative effects.

There is a Pathway to extraordinary individuals called "Artisan"—the same Sequence as Roselle. "Artisan" can use their abilities to modify Beyonder Characteristic, turning them into Beyonder Item with better effects and fewer side effects.

Hearing that he could make more money, Luther was naturally willing.

"In that case, how do you plan to divide the profits?"

Luther asked.

He had already figured it out: this "Hanged Man" was very cunning and his actions were all for a purpose. He certainly wasn't just acting out of kindness to make more money for him.

"Besides paying the Artisan, my cut should be increased to one-eighth."

Alger met the other's gaze and tried to remain calm as he spoke.

Actually, he was somewhat apprehensive facing a Sequence 5, worried that his proposed profit-sharing percentage might be too high and incur the other party's displeasure. After all, that was the Shepherd, the Shepherd had just killed a group of Aurora Order members from an outpost!

Those Beyonder Characteristic might even be stained with blood!

But Alger had no choice but to do it.

Because he was short of money.

To advance to the rank of "Wind-blessed," he needs over 3,000 Pound, a sum far beyond what a pirate captain and priest of the Church of Storms could easily accumulate. To become stronger, he must find a way to make money!

Alger, on edge, watched the Shepherd's [Temperance] reaction.

In a state of high tension, he saw the other person nod slightly and say:

"Can."

Only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Furthermore, I think the two methods can be used simultaneously. Lower-value Characteristic can be sold directly, while higher-value Characteristic can be processed to fetch a higher premium, making them suitable for crafting Beyonder Item."

Luther added, "He was even thinking that perhaps he could leave behind a few Beyonder Item that would be effective."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Temperance, and Audrey. Hanged Man," Justice said suddenly. "I think perhaps I could order a few Beyonder Item made from these Characteristic?"

She was just admiring the abilities these Characteristic granted, and now, in the blink of an eye, those abilities might actually be available to her. How could she not be eager to buy them?

Although she didn't have enough cash and still owed Mr. Fool's servants £2,000, she could simply ask her parents for money and buy them something nice.

I want one too.

Beside her, [The Magician] Fors' eyes revealed a look of poverty and envy.

I'm also somewhat interested.

At the other end of the long table, the gloomy [World] chimed in.

"Alright then, let's bring the Beyonder Item we've made here first for you all to choose from. If no one is interested, then I'll sell them to someone else."

Alger, the Hanged Man, said this, and his words won unanimous agreement.

After Luther sold his items, no one else had any intention of continuing the transaction, and the gathering moved into its third part.

"Let's have a free exchange."

The Fool at the head of the table spoke calmly.

"Something has happened in Backlund recently."

"[Justice] Audrey said, " Mr. A, the Oracle of the local Aurora Order, has issued a reward for information leading to Mr. Fool and his followers."

Yes, that's true.

[The Magician] Fors added a comment as well.

Is there a conflict between the Aurora Order and Mr. Fool's family?

Alger had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask the Mr. Fool was at the head of the group, directly. The Mr. Fool hadn't even told us. He seemed indifferent to it.

"You don't need to worry about that."

Then he heard Luther say coldly, "Mr. A is dead."

"."

Alger paused for a moment, then looked at him. "You said before that you cleared out an Aurora Order stronghold."

"It's the Aurora Order in Backlund."

Luther replied.

"And what about Mr. A?"

"I killed him."

"But I heard that Mr. A is very strong."

Fors couldn't help but ask.

"He was just Shepherd, like me. He had the revelation of the True Creator, while I had the favor of Mr. Fool. Besides, what's the point of explaining now that he's already been killed?"

Luther's tone grew increasingly cold, a fleeting glint of madness and pain in his eyes, as if he were recalling that dark afternoon, the heavy black snow, and the figure that had vanished completely that day.

Cecilia died for him, leaving a void in his heart forever, like a bottle with a broken bottom that can never be filled.

His emotions seemed to penetrate the thick Gray Fog and reach the others present, silencing them from further questions.

"Um, I don't have much to say."

Since Fors spends all day at home and is a couch potato, had no news to share, the topic quickly shifted to the men.

"Elder Lovia has come out."

[The Sun] said with a worried expression.

He recounted what happened last week, specifically Elder Lovia, the Shepherd Pathway. She had successfully left the Round Tower by offering Sequence 4 recipe in exchange for the understanding of the Council of Six.

This is what the Forsaken Land of the Gods looks like.

During the intervals of their conversation, Luther learned about the situation in the Forsaken Land of the Gods and what had happened to [the Sun] before. He was deeply impressed by that world that was forever shrouded in darkness and lightning.

"No doubt about it, your chief's approach is correct."

Alger Hanged Man said, "In a situation where the situation is unclear, the most appropriate approach is to allow both sides to exist and maintain a balance of power."

"But the True Creator is an evil god."

"[The Sun] Derrick couldn't help but say."

Coincidentally, that's the same way Lovia sees us.

Luther thought to himself.
