Klein naturally wouldn't refuse [The Hermit] Cattleya's request. After all, even for him, answering ten questions in one go wasn't an easy task.

Then Cattleya spoke up:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to know..."

Both of her questions concerned Roselle: the first was the possible location of his tomb, and the second was the reason for his madness in his later years.

After reading a large amount of Roselle's Diary, Klein had already formed his own general speculation and offered a relatively reasonable answer— the Mausoleum might be deep in the Fog Sea, among the Primitive Island that Emperor Roselle had explored; and his madness might be related to the Corrosion of the evil god.

As for the remaining request of [The Hermit] Cattleya, it was quite simple—she hoped that the Fool would grant someone protection when necessary.

Someone...

Klein thought to himself, "It must be the 'Queen Mystic'."

Bernadette wants Mr. Fool's protection to prevent her from Corrosion evil spirits while she's searching... It's not impossible, but honestly, wouldn't it be better to find someone more professional in this situation?

His eyes shifted slightly, glancing at the red figure on one side of the long table.

--That [God of Blood and Shadows] has dealt with many evil gods and always escaped unscathed... isn't he more reliable than me...? Should I introduce him to you...?

However, it would be too unrefined for Mr. Fool to say such things, so Klein simply chuckled and nodded slightly to Cattleya, saying, "Alright."

He glanced at Luther subtly, then addressed the crowd:

"You may begin."

The Tarot Club then officially enter the transaction phase.

Luther was unaware of Klein's gaze, as his attention was entirely focused on the stack of Roselle's Diary on the Bronze Long Table.

Wow, so many diaries! I wonder if Roselle left any crucial information in them. I wish I could read them too... Thinking about it, it seems like I could. After all, Mr. Fool is actually Klein. I just need to mention it briefly at the later Transmigrators' Gathering... But I need to be careful with my words and not expose Fool's true identity. I also need to maintain a good rapport with Klein...

As he pondered how to access those diaries, he looked up and surveyed the crowd:

"I need information on the Fog Sea, including all the sea charts, secret routes and islands, Concealment legends, and so on. Price is negotiable."

Luther is about to accompany Bernadette to the Fog Sea and needs intelligence support—of course, the well-informed "Queen Mystic" has certainly made the necessary preparations. However, he cannot entrust his safety entirely to others and still needs to gather some information.

"?!"

Upon hearing this, [The Hermit] Cattleya's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and then she looked up in disbelief.

"You're going to the Fog Sea?" she asked, her voice tinged with surprise.

The Queen had just told me she was going to the Fog Sea to find the Mausoleum, and [Temperance] had already started gathering related clues. This is probably no coincidence!

"Um."

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

With whom?

Who I go with is none of your business, is it?

[Temperance] Luther, annoyed by the questions, rolled his eyes at Cattleya and said coldly.

"Sorry, I was a bit abrupt..."

Even through the shielding glasses created by Mr. Fool, [The Hermit] Cattleya sensed a certain danger. She immediately lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and whispered an apology.

However, at the same time, her doubts grew stronger.

[Temperance] is indeed going to the Fog Sea, and on the same day as the Queen's departure... Could it be that they are going to sail together? In an instant, Cattleya's feelings became very complicated.

As a member of the Tarot Club, she naturally knew the power of Temperance. With such an extraordinary being accompanying her, the Queen's safety would be greatly guaranteed. However, at the same time, she felt very uncomfortable—she had begged the Queen for so long, but the Queen hadn't agreed to take her along, yet Temperance had easily gone to sea with the Queen!

So, it's because I'm too weak after all...

A strange sense of bitterness filled her heart, and [The Hermit] Cattleya lowered her head and remained silent.

Strange guy...

Seeing the other party's inexplicable reaction, Luther thought to himself.

"So, do you have any intelligence about the Fog Sea?"

He ignored the Hermit and turned to ask the crowd.

I have some here.

Alger the Hanged Man immediately spoke up, "However, because there's a lot of information, I need to collect and organize it. I'll have Mr. Fool pass it on to you after the meeting."

Although he doesn't often operate in the Fog Sea, he has gathered a considerable amount of relevant intelligence from other pirate groups, the Church of Storms, and similar places.

Heh, [The Hermit] is getting anxious... Her attachment to the "Queen Mystic" is really serious... This doesn't seem like the mindset of the wise and mysterious "Admiral of Stars"... Alger had already sensed a lot from the conversation just now, and although he couldn't say it outright, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. "How much?"

Luther asked.

"Hmm...50 pounds."

"[The Hanged Man] "Alger said after a moment's thought.

As everyone's Sequence increases, such small numbers are becoming increasingly rare in the trading process. This is mainly because the information isn't particularly valuable, and Luther could collect it himself if he spent more time on it.

"Can."

Luther nodded, leaned back in his chair, and said no more.

Seeing that he had calmed down, the others began to make trade requests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who among you possesses the heart of Dream Catcher, the crystallization of Mind Phantom, or the complete brain of a mature Dragon?"

"Justice," Audrey looked around at everyone and asked.

This is the Main Ingredient for her promotion to "Dreamwalker".

As soon as Audrey finished speaking, Luther looked up at her. Please remember the only official website for this novel: www. deqixs. org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

"[Miss Justice], is this the Main Ingredient your Potion to advance to Sequence 5?"

He interrupted and asked.

"Uh, yes."

Audrey hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

To be honest, although these are things that everyone tacitly agrees on, it's still a bit impolite for someone like [Temperance] to ask directly about them.

"Did the higher-ups of the Psychology Alchemists give you the formula?"

However, Luther did not back down; instead, he pressed further, "That [Pride] Hvin Rambis?"

"That's right."

Audrey nodded.

Just recently, her direct superior Hvin Rambis, approached her again. The Royal Family advisor rewarded her with the Sequence 5 "Dreamwalker" Potion recipe for her outstanding contributions to the organization.

Why is Mr. Temperance asking this...? Audrey wondered curiously, then suddenly noticed that the blood-red figure and [The World] at the bottom of the long table exchanged a glance.

Speaking of which, Hvin Rambis was also a key figure in helping George III complete his promotion process...
