As for whether this would expose too much information to the True Creator, Luo Lin didn't care. Some information was hard to hide, and had already been exposed when Luo Lin summoned the Ancient Sun God. Therefore, Luo Lin didn't mind exchanging some information for things that were beneficial to himself.

No matter what, he could bring this world down with him. As long as this point was true, the other side would have to consider it.

After all, even the mad True Creator, in essence, still wished to protect this world.

It was just a pity for Grisha, oh, and perhaps Sasrir as well... Thinking of the "Adam-Creator" born from Adam's fusion with the True Creator, Luo Lin couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion.

and Fors naturally didn't know that Luo Lin had just reached an unspoken agreement with the True Creator in a short period. Troubled by poverty themselves, they immediately understood Luo Lin's words and nodded in agreement.

If it were them, they would definitely haggle carefully when purchasing a large quantity of spiritual materials.

The gathering, which was already nearing its end, quickly concluded after Luo Lin returned.

Luo Lin followed Xiu and Fors out of the cabin. After getting into the carriage, the three of them discussed the next Extraordinary gathering.

"The exact time can't be confirmed yet, but within a week at most, I should receive specific news. I'll notify you then," Xiu said. She then looked at Luo Lin curiously and asked, "Since you can divine, can you divine things like this?"

"I might be able to divine the approximate time, but it's difficult to get results for more specific details without precise information," Luo Lin said, shrugging. "After all, divination isn't omnipotent."

"Oh, right..." Luo Lin seemed to remember something and looked at Xiu and Fors. "You two are quite experienced Beyonders in Backlund. If possible, I'd like to commission you to inquire about something for me."

"What is it?" Xiu sat up straight, her bounty hunter instincts kicking in.

"I want to inquire about an existence called 'The Fool.' He might be related to the Antigonus family and is a hidden existence," Luo Lin paused, seeing the slight change in their expressions. He added, "Of course, I don't need you to put yourselves in danger. Just help me inquire within your respective circles if anyone knows about The Fool."

Luo Lin was naturally preparing to obtain The Fool's true name in the future and join the Tarot Club.

Otherwise, it would be strange for a traveler to suddenly know The Fool's true name without any explanation.

Hmm, speaking of which, would Mr. The Fool worry about social awkwardness because I'm a transmigrator and not invite me to the Tarot Club? If that happens, don't blame me for exposing him... Luo Lin thought slowly, unsure which situation he looked forward to more, but either way, it seemed quite amusing.

Of course, Luo Lin didn't deny that he already had a complete plan for how to join the Tarot Club.

and Fors naturally didn't know that Luo Lin had already started thinking about various ways to "persecute" Mr. The Fool. The two exchanged glances and, in unison, considered the danger of this task.

Matters concerning hidden existences in this world were always very dangerous. However, if it was just inquiring about information, the danger wouldn't be too great under normal circumstances.

Just like the True Creator, the Primordial Moon, etc., they were all famous evil gods. Many Beyonders and even ordinary people knew of their existence. But as long as one didn't foolishly chant their true names or actively provoke people or things related to them, there wouldn't be much danger.

"What kind of reward can you offer?" Xiu asked after a few seconds of thought.

"A 10-pound deposit. If you can find out related information, I will offer a corresponding reward based on the importance of the intelligence," Luo Lin said straightforwardly. He didn't offer a high price mainly because he was afraid of scaring the two young ladies.

"Okay, I'll help you inquire within my circles." Xiu also nodded decisively. It was just inquiring about some information, and a 10-pound deposit was already a very good reward.

"Why do you want to inquire about The Fool?" Fors asked curiously. As a writer, her mind was always active, and she had already subconsciously conjured various scenarios.

"Originally, it was because a friend of mine was very concerned about this matter. Later, after consulting my family's ancient books, I discovered that The Fool might... have some connection with my ancestors," Luo Lin said, shrugging.

"As you know, being involved with hidden existences is not a good thing. Although my ancestor was from a very long time ago, if any curses were passed down... I need to inquire clearly to feel at ease." Luo Lin sighed at the end, his expression a little worried.

Hearing Luo Lin's words, Hugh and Fors instinctively flinched back. This wasn't their fault; in this world's worldview, being involved with hidden existences was extremely dangerous.

However, the two quickly calmed down. After all, according to Luo Lin, only his ancestor was involved with hidden existences, so Luo Lin himself was likely fine.

Fors, who was already troubled by the Full Moon Whispers, empathized with her own situation and said, "Curses are indeed troublesome."

"Oh? Doctor, do you have any troubles in this regard?" Luo Lin looked at Fors with curiosity.

"I..." Fors hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the Magician potion formula she had purchased from him and Luo Lin's apparent background in an ancient Beyonder family, she made up her mind and said, "Due to some accident, I hear whispers during the full moon. This has troubled me for a long time."

Although she briefly introduced her situation, Fors clearly held back, not revealing more specific details.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this. He simply showed a thoughtful expression, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Full moon whispers... I seem to have seen this situation in my family's ancient books. It is said that a member of an ancient family called Abraham was troubled by such a curse."

He looked at Fors, his gaze filled with surprise and a hint of probing. "Doctor, are you from the Abraham family?" He acted as if it were genuine.

Fors, however, was startled. At this stage, she knew nothing about the Abraham family. But she had once heard Mrs. Anissa mention her husband. It was said that Mrs. Anissa's husband's family was an ancient family deeply troubled by the Full Moon Whispers.

Could Mrs. Anissa's husband be from the Abraham family?

Fors had some guesses in her heart. Facing Luo Lin's curious gaze, she shook her head and said, "I am not from the Abraham family. I just happen to be troubled by this curse."
