Lovia, Who Ate Her Husband

Pirate Assembly? Isn't that held every now and then? Why is Mr. [The Hanged Man] starting with such a serious attitude?

[Justice] Audrey, somewhat confused, asked, "[The Hanged Man], what happened at this conference?"

"Um."

Alger took a deep breath, not daring to look at [Temperance]. "In the end, after the Catastrophe, the King of Immortality died. At the same time, a new king— the King of Blood —was born, and the Rose School of Thought's leader Suah, was also severely injured..."

His words drew a gasp of surprise from the crowd.

"As for the specific details..."

Alger, the Hanged Man, wasn't sure if he could speak, because the battle involved the powerful trump card [Temperance], so he could only vaguely say, "I believe it will soon reach your ears through the pirates' propaganda."

[Temperance] is amazing!

Audrey thought to herself, "Judging from Mr. Hanged Man's description, he must have demonstrated his strength at the conference. Perhaps he played a part in killing the 'King of Immortality'... However, Mr. Hanged Man's caution is rather intriguing..."

But [The Hermit] Cattleya seemed somewhat lost in thought.

She hadn't expected that simply missing one Pirate Assembly would cause her to miss such a momentous event. But since even the Sequence 1 Angel "Suah" had appeared, the situation must have been extremely dangerous... Would the Queen be alright?

Thinking of this, Cattleya immediately looked at the [Hanged Man].

"The other top players are all fine."

Alger guessed what she was thinking and replied immediately.

But in his heart, he let out a cold laugh.

Heh, I've discovered your weakness...

She had initially thought the "Admiral of Stars" was some mysterious and powerful being, but when it came to the "Queen Mystic," she was easily swayed. Whether it was her willingness to offend Mr. Fool for the Queen's sake, or her current concern for the Queen's safety... Knowing these things, she knew how to control her.

After the Oldest One shock, everyone gradually accepted the fact that there was already a king of the sea at the Tarot Club.

Amidst their complex gazes, Luther looked up at the Sun.

"Did you come back from Afternoon Town?"

"Yes."

Where is Lovia?

"The elder is still at the camp; the exploration and clearing of the Afternoon Town isn't finished yet. I was replaced by the next team," [Sun] Derrick replied earnestly. "[Temperance], I'm still under quarantine. Once I'm free to move around, I'll immediately help you find Potion ingredients..."

He respected this powerful companion. Although he didn't quite understand topics like "Pirate Assembly" and "King of the Sea," he could at least understand that these things proved that [Temperance]'s strength had improved further.

"Yes, thank you. But that's not what I wanted to say."

Luther nodded and asked, "Has Lovia advanced to Sequence 4?"

"Not yet."

Well, she's not even at Sequence 4 yet. The True Creator probably hasn't bestowed upon her Sequence 3 Potion recipe yet, but it's still best to keep an eye on her.

Luther was now desperate and trying everything he could to obtain the Potion formula. He thought for a moment, then asked Derrick, "Also, at the last meeting, I asked you to investigate Lovia's past. What have you found out?"

Based on [Sun's ] previous description, he suspected that this Lovia's situation was special, and that she might not have complete faith in the True Creator, which made him more interested in her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. [Temperance], I'm still in quarantine, so I haven't been able to access information about the city," Derrick [Sun] said apologetically. "But I heard a rumor from the other members of the exploration team."

At this point, Derrick spoke with a mixture of fear and suspicion, "They all say that Elder Lovia ate her own husband..."

Luther had been relatively calm, but upon hearing this, his pupils suddenly dilated.

Eat... husband?

To eat oneself... the closest person?

In an instant, Cecilia's smiling face flashed before his eyes, along with the image of her piercing his heart and melting into his Flesh with a bitter smile.

Damn it, damn it!

Luther's breathing became rapid.

Seeing this, [Sun] fell silent. Above the Gray Fog, a suffocating atmosphere rapidly spread. The usually Indifference and calm blood-red figure suddenly became extremely dangerous and pained, as if it might explode at any moment!

[Justice], [The Hanged Man], and others were all affected by the atmosphere. Although they wanted to remind Luther, they dared not make a sound.

Until "knock knock."

A crisp tapping sound rang out, Fool's slender fingers paused on the Bronze Long Table, releasing an invisible aura of authority.

i"

Luther jolted awake. He looked around and then bowed to the person at the head of the table. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Fool, I lost my composure."

"It doesn't matter."

Klein spoke calmly on the surface, but a sense of worry welled up inside him. He could roughly guess that Luther had been triggered by [the Sun]'s words, which made him think of his deceased sister.

All he could say was that the fate of his fellow time traveler and former colleague was truly tragic, stirring up feelings of sympathy within him. He himself had only been separated from his family, while Luther had truly been separated from them by death.

"Call..."

Luther took a deep breath and composed himself.

He continued looking at [the Sun] and said to the other party, "Continue to investigate Lovia's background for me. Also, you can communicate with your chief and ask him to help you find out more about Lovia."

"Ah?"

[Sun] Derrick was a little confused, "Should I talk to the chief directly? That's not really appropriate, is it?"

"If it's suitable, just tell him you can provide High Sequence Potion recipes for Warrior Pathway; he'll be happy to cooperate."

Luther just got the "Twilight Giant" card from the room on the "Black Throne," which can be used as a bargaining chip. Of course, just investigating Lovia wouldn't warrant such a high price, but the chief can accumulate some contribution points to exchange for the corresponding recipe.

He was confident that the other party would not refuse.

"OK..."

What could Derrick say? He could only agree to everything. In fact, he also hoped that the chief could continue to be promoted so that City of Silver could have even greater power.

After that, everyone shared some information they had gathered, and gradually they ran out of things to say.

"Well then, let's call it a day."

The Fool at the head of the table spoke leisurely, and with everyone's greetings, sent their Consciousness back to reality.

One, except for the other two.

Luther looked down from the long table and saw a gloomy figure huddled in a chair: [World] Klein.

Their private Transmigrators' Gathering officially began.
