Before long, Audrey put the matter of "speaking without using her mouth" out of her mind.
"Then, Mr. Tower, what do I need to pay?" Audrey asked.
There was no such thing as a free lunch, and Audrey understood that.
If she wanted to obtain something, she would certainly have to pay a corresponding price.
She looked at Mr. Tower through the Gray Fog.
I want all of these formulas! But Audrey, you can't be too greedy...
Audrey reminded herself inwardly.
Maybe... maybe I can pay for them...
But...
A great existence definitely wouldn't be interested in vulgar money...
"I want money." Morien's voice echoed in the minds of everyone present. "Lots of money."
"Eh?"
"Ah?"
"!!!"
Morien raised both hands and waved them.
"I can give Tarot Club members a discount so you can buy them more cheaply, but they won't be free."
"Sigh... it can't be helped. I have a whole family to support." Morien spread his hands and sighed.
A whole family?
Alger fell into thought.
A Beyonder family?
He secretly glanced at Morien.
No, it should be called an Angel family.
If it was even more terrifying, it could perhaps be called an ancient god family...
"Then, Mr. Tower, how much is the Telepathist formula?" Audrey asked about the price.
If it was not too expensive, she had decided to buy it right here.
"As for the Telepathist formula... four hundred pounds. How about it?" Morien asked.
So expensive!
That really was quite an affordable price...
This was far too cheap!
Klein, Alger, and Audrey each gave their own assessment inwardly.
"Mr. Tower, I want to buy this formula right now!" Audrey said immediately.
"Mm-hm."
Morien gave a soft hum and raised his chin.
"Sure."
He sought the approval of Klein, "the Fool," then materialized a sheet of paper on the table and gently pushed it forward.
The paper slid across the tabletop and quickly arrived in front of Audrey, who lightly pressed it down.
Audrey was slightly stunned when she caught the paper. She had not expected Morien to hand over the formula directly.
"Mr. Tower, we haven't discussed how to give you the money yet." Audrey did not look at the formula in front of her and spoke instinctively.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Only then did Morien realize it.
At this point in time, Klein had not yet established Fool Express.
"Ah, now that you mention it, that does seem to be a problem."
Morien thought for a moment and said:
"How about this? I'll go to Loen Bank later and open an anonymous account. Then have Mr. Fool pass the account information on to you, and you can transfer the money directly into that anonymous account."
"Alright." Audrey readily agreed at once.
With the terms settled, Audrey finally lowered her head and gave the paper on the table a rough look.
"Sequence 8: Telepathist."
"Main ingredients: the complete pituitary gland of an Adult Rainbow Lizard Dragon, 10 milliliters of Falsman Rabbit spinal fluid;"
"Supplementary ingredients: 100 milliliters of pure water, 5 grams of Chestnut Bud, 8 grams of Dragon Tooth Grass powder, 3 petals of Pure White Elf Flower."
After giving it a quick scan, Audrey soon withdrew her gaze.
The Spectator's memory allowed her to achieve photographic recall for at least this much information.
Moreover, under Mr. Fool's protection, as long as it was something she had once remembered, even if she forgot it, she could quickly recall it by praying to Mr. Fool.
"Is there anything you want to buy?" Morien turned to Alger.
Alger considered it, then shook his head.
"I don't have anything I want to buy for now."
He had not even gathered all the ingredients for the Wind-blessed Potion. The formula for the next Sequence was not important to him right now.
The trading portion ended, and as usual, they moved on to the information exchange portion.
Though it was called an information exchange, it was really just some casual conversation.
Seeing that no one had anything else to buy, Audrey relaxed further and began chatting with Alger and Morien about recent events in Backlund at the Tarot Club, mainly matters concerning the nobility.
Morien listened absentmindedly while thinking about his own affairs.
Now that he had 400 pounds, he could try purchasing the main ingredients for the next Potion.
He could not buy everything, but he should be able to buy part of it.
He had already digested more than half of the Melee Scholar Potion. It would be best to prepare the Sequence 7 Wizard Potion before he finished digesting it.
Mm, tonight I'll make a trip to the East Borough, find the gangs there, borrow some money, and digest the Melee Scholar Potion while I'm at it...
When he came back to himself, he heard Audrey speaking to Alger and him with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
"Sometimes, I can't even believe the gap between people can be this great." She sighed. "Do you know? At many gatherings and salons in Backlund, quite a few people actually believe the world is flat and refuse to believe it is round."
"Heh." Alger chuckled. "That is the kingdom's nobility."
"Rather than entrusting the country to them, it would be better to hand it over to curly-haired baboons. At least curly-haired baboons wouldn't make such laughable remarks."
"Exactly, exactly." Morien smoothly joined the conversation. "The world is round. There's no doubt about that."
"If this world were flat, then Mr. Fool would have pushed everything off it long ago."
"You know, cats love pushing things off tables."
What are you talking about?!
Klein, hidden behind the Gray Fog, froze at once.
Cats?
Who?
Me?
No, bro!
Audrey instinctively laughed, then suddenly realized something was wrong. She hurriedly restrained her expression and, together with Alger, who had already straightened up several seconds earlier, secretly looked toward Mr. Fool at the head of the long table.
Mr. Fool, hidden behind the Gray Fog, remained exactly as before, seeming as though he would not react no matter what he heard.
Alger felt that if his spirit body currently possessed the ability to sweat, he would definitely be drenched in it.
Was that something he was allowed to hear?
Th-this-this, who put that in his head?!
Oh, it was another great existence. Then it was fine.
The Tarot Club fell into brief silence.
A few seconds later.
Mr. Fool's voice, as though eternal and unchanging, came from the head of the long table.
"Has the conversation ended?"
"In that case, this Tarot Club gathering is concluded."
Alger hurriedly stood and bowed, with Audrey following closely behind.
"Your will."
PS: No matter how old you are, dear readers, I wish you all a happy Children's Day.
No matter when, I hope you can all possess the pure happiness of a child.
The "Lord of Mysteries 2" arc has temporarily ended. Next comes the "Elden Ring" arc.
Although I know Elden Ring may be relatively niche, and those who do not like it can skip it, I still hope everyone will give it a look, because Tuesday's follow-up reading is very important. It concerns Sizhai's PK data and subsequent recommendation traffic.
And I will make the Elden Ring arc easier to understand, so even those who have not played it can take a look. You can simply treat it as a "dungeon."
In short, it is fine to skip Monday, but you absolutely have to read on Tuesday.
Love you all, mwah.
