Miss Justice Won't Buy It
[Justice] Because of Cons, Audrey had no interest in collecting Roselle's Diary. And [The Hanged Man] and the others didn't have any particular need either, so surprisingly, no one presented Roselle's Diary to Mr. Fool at today's Tarot Club.
Everyone, you need to work harder!
Klein muttered to himself, but maintained a calm expression, saying, "You may begin."
Luther was waiting for this very question. He looked directly at the tall [Sun] figure and asked, "Have you asked your chief?"
"I already asked."
[Sun] Derrick answered honestly.
What are his conditions?
"What the chief most desires is a method to change the current state of our City of Silver."
"[Sun] Derrick recalled the scene, "However, he was willing to exchange it for items of equal quality, or other Pathway Sequence 4 Potion recipes."
Fine
After hearing this, Luther breathed a sigh of relief.
The "Abyss" card he had just obtained contained all the Sequence Potion recipes for the entire Pathway, with Sequence 4 being a given. As for Beyonder Item of the same level, he had Amon's portrait, which should be enough.
However, Amon's portrait is an item, unlike a recipe which can be kept after being shared; he still prioritizes the recipe.
"[Sun] Mr., when you get back, tell your chief that I can provide the Sequence 4 of the 'Devil' Pathway —the 'Demon' Potion recipe."
Luther Zedao.
"So that's what Sequence 4 of the Devil Pathway is called."
The Hanged Man stood to the side, silently thinking to himself, while trying to memorize this information.
He couldn't help but marvel at how [Temperance] could so casually offer something of such high value. It was Sequence 4 Potion recipe; if it were sold publicly, it could easily fetch a high price!
When did Luther get his hands on this kind of thing?
Klein thought the same thing to himself.
I can understand having the recipe for the "Desire Apostle," since he's already Grazing one, but where did he get the Sequence 4 Potion recipe? Did he capture another Sequence 4 "Demon"?
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible.
"Okay, okay."
[Sun] Derrick was taken aback by Luther's decisive offer and quickly nodded, "I'll go find the chief when I get back."
"That's good."
Luther nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the mysterious ruler hidden behind the Gray Fog at the head of the Bronze Long Table, "Respected Mr. Fool, could you please be our witness when we exchange formulas?"
He was worried that the recipe he had received was fake, because he dared not fully trust a chief he had never met and who was far away in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Having Mr. Fool as a witness would undoubtedly be an extra layer of insurance.
When Luther looked at [The Fool], his eyes involuntarily glanced at the table in front of him. Not for any other reason than that there was also a playing card next to Mr. Fool. Judging from the shape of the card, it seemed very similar to the "Abyss" card that he had obtained.
Mr. Fool also has a "Card of Blasphemy" from Roselle!
Actually, this card had existed before, but he didn't know what it was at the time. It wasn't until he acquired it recently that he realized how valuable Mr. Fool's collection was.
I'm just not sure which Pathway it came from.
That Luther guy, he's giving me trouble again.
Klein ignored Luther's gaze, maintaining his superior demeanor, and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright."
Using the mystique of the Gray Fog for Divination should be able to determine the authenticity of the recipe, right?
"Thank you so much."
Luther bowed slightly to the great being, then looked at the [Hanged Man].
"Is that Beyonder Item belonging to the 'Judge' finished?"
"It's done."
[The Hanged Man] Alger nodded, "The Artisan's suggested retail price is 4,500 pounds, and his labor fee is 400 pounds. My payment is one-eighth of the final selling price."
Having obtained the Fool's consent, he swiftly materialized the object's form—a black gavel with gold borders at both ends. "This object can issue 'Prohibition,' one at a time, punishing those struck with Exile, Imprisonment, or death. Furthermore, the wielder becomes incredibly imposing, instilling instinctive fear in others."
"Its side effect is that it can make people extremely Indifference, only caring about rules and losing their humanity. Long-term use can easily lead to a loss of control."
It's powerful and the side effects are tolerable!
[The Magician] Fors couldn't help but admire it, but was also taken aback by its exorbitant price. She Consciousness looked at [Justice], waiting for him to speak and whether she wanted to keep the item.
[Justice] A lady as wealthy as her would surely buy it without hesitation, wouldn't she?
I don't need it at the moment.
However, to her surprise, the other party did not buy it.
". I see."
Alger, the Hanged Man, was also somewhat surprised. He had thought that this item was powerful and its side effects were relatively controllable, making it very suitable for Justice. Who knew that the other party would not buy it?
In Justice, Audrey had her own considerations. She was about to have her coming-of-age ceremony and enter social circles. Before that, her father Earl Hall, would divide the property that nominally belonged to her, gradually transferring ownership. At this crucial juncture, a large amount of cash flow could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Another reason was that Audrey's fervor for the extraordinary and the mystical world had somewhat diminished due to the death of her friend Cons. She began to truly Consciousness that this was an extremely dangerous journey—not just talk, but one that could actually kill!
The two things combined made her a little more cautious.
"Is there anyone else who wants it?"
Luther scanned the crowd.
A moment of silence.
Unfortunately, among the people present, apart from [Justice] and himself, they were basically all broke, only able to drool over the good stuff but unable to afford much money.
"Then I'll stay with you for now."
Luther thought for a moment and said to Alger the Hanged Man, "You find a buyer, you sell it, and then give me the money. If this item sells, I don't care how much you made or how much you deducted. In the end, give me 3,500 pounds. If you make more, that's your own skill; I only care about the result."
"Can."
A Hanged Man of light flashed in Alger's eyes as he nodded.
In other words, if he had the ability to sell for over 4,000, Temperance wouldn't care; he would just give him 3,500 pounds.
His mind started racing, trying to figure out how to sell the item for a high price.
