The Gloomy Fool
When he looked at them, the other members instinctively turned to look at him as well.
Why do you have to look at me again? I only manifested the Emperor Roselle's Diary, I didn't say anything... Fors muttered to himself, feeling wronged.
Well, I can't blame her... Thinking this, Klein spoke in a low voice:
What kind of compensation do you want?
"No, no need. They are the price for the protection you provided last time," Fors replied cautiously, shrinking her neck.
She had previously sought help from Mr. Fool.
Inspired by Miss "Justice" at the last gathering, I also promised to collect ten pages of Emperor Roselle's Diary as payment.
After saying that, Fors quickly added:
"Well, of course, that's only half of it. My current memory limit is five pages. The rest will be presented to you at the next gathering."
"Is that alright, Mr. Fool?"
She adopted a very humble posture, not only because the other party was suspected to be an ancient God, but also because of the aura emanating from Him.
Compared to last week, Mr. Fool seems to be even stronger. Has His strength been restored? Fors secretly speculated on the possible reasons.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Mr. Fool nod slightly:
I'm really looking forward to it.
This is not a lie; it is indeed Klein's true thought.
How should I put it?
The five pages of diary that the "Magician" had just manifested had greatly shocked him, even overshadowing his joy at Advancement a "Faceless."
Five whole pages of Emperor Roselle's womanizing history!
Not a single useful word!
What frustrated him even more was that he had actually watched it all with great interest!
In a brief silence, "Justice" Audrey looked towards the Bronze Long Table and said:
"Mr. Fool, due to the turmoil in Backlund, please allow me to bring the promised Roselle's Diary to the later gathering."
Klein, having gathered his thoughts, noticed the Gray Fog around him thickening slightly. Suppressing the shame of covering his face with his hands, he nodded gently.
"Can."
Sensing the sudden change, everyone had the same thought:
Mr. Fool is indeed more powerful now!
It seems He had sent His Blessed to investigate something in Backlund long ago.
Did He successfully avert the Catastrophe of the past few days, making Him the Winner in this battle against the Evil God, thus paving the way for further resurgence?
Strange... Why did their gazes suddenly change from worship to fear...? The "Fool" was somewhat puzzled.
He quickly grasped the key point and smiled knowingly.
So it turns out I subconsciously controlled the Gray Fog just now, making them mistakenly believe that I had further restored my strength... Pretty clever, huh? You guessed right...
However, it's not a recovery, but an enhancement...
"The Fool" Klein immediately realized this was a good opportunity, so he chuckled softly, seemingly responding to everyone's guesses:
"The Evil God worshipped by the Demoness Sect and the Aurora Order still covets to descend."
"It was just a small contest, nothing to brag about." With that, he tapped the long table. "You may begin."
Klein deliberately avoided Loen Royal Family, disdaining their low status.
Moreover, judging from his tone, it seemed that the struggle with the two Evil God was not as important to him as the normal progress of the Tarot Club.
Just as I expected!
Hearing the "Fool's " nonchalant tone, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
"The Fool" has emerged as the biggest Winner in the game of the God! Our Tarot Club is truly amazing!" " Justice "Audrey was overjoyed from the bottom of her heart.
She looked around and noticed that everyone had different expressions, but what they had in common was that their gazes toward Mr. "Fool" were filled with even greater reverence.
Unfortunately, it was all a lie. I emptied my savings just to barely Advancement Sequence 6... "The Fool" Klein smiled bitterly to himself.
The party quickly got down to business.
Fors was the first to raise his hand, looking towards "Justice":
"I can get the ' Mirror Dragon's Eye,' it costs a thousand pounds, but it can only Sacrifice to Mr. ' Fool ' after some time. Do you still need it?"
The surprise came unexpectedly.
"Justice" Audrey paused for a moment, then quickly spoke up:
"Need!"
She didn't haggle... Fors was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Desperate to improve her strength to protect her family, Audrey, the "Justice" one who had been rewarded twice for her intelligence, suppressed her joy and looked at the other members:
"Everyone, I also need the Elder Tree Fruit and the Mirror Dragon Blood."
As soon as she finished speaking, some people nodded or spoke, indicating that they would pay attention to the relevant information. Audrey smiled slightly, indicating that she had no further needs.
"The Hanged Man," Alger said in a deep voice, "I need a pair of eyes from the Dragon-Eyed Sea Eagle, and I'm willing to pay a fair price for them."
His statement elicited a similar response to the previous one.
A moment later.
The gathering then transitioned into a free-flowing conversation.
"The Hanged Man," Alger, looked at "Justice" and "The Magician" opposite him and said, "I'd like to know more about last week's Catastrophe."
He paused for a moment and added:
"If you deem it necessary, I can pay a certain amount of compensation for this."
"You're not being sincere, Mr. Hanged Man... After hearing that, who would dare to ask for money?" Klein thought irritably.
However, he could understand the other party's actions.
Having just purchased the "Wind-blessed" Formula, I now need to collect the corresponding Beyonder Characteristic. My wallet might be even emptier than I am now.
"Uh, I'm not too clear on this," Fors, quickly disclaiming any involvement.
"Justice," Audrey asked, "You left Backlund?"
"Hmm," Fors replied succinctly, without revealing any further information.
"Justice" Audrey then looked at "The World," who was also in Backlund, and seeing that he didn't seem to intend to speak, she stepped forward.
Please keep quiet.
The Gray Fog was silent, except for a soft, sweet voice.
"... In short, that's the situation as I understand it."
"Excluding the levels of God and the church, this Mr. Fitz Posner is most likely the biggest Winner of this Catastrophe."
"Not only did the new type of Face Mask produced in their own Factory become widely known within just a few days, but they also came to the attention of the Kingdom's political circles and the church's top brass."
"The Church of the Evernight Goddess intends to secure him a Hereditary Lord title. As far as I know, His Majesty the King has already agreed."
"The Kingdom Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee intends to recruit him as a member, but it seems they haven't been able to find anyone, so they can only ask his staff to convey the invitation."
At this point, "Justice" Audrey sighed:
"If this gentleman intends to enter politics, with such qualifications, I believe he will soon become the brightest new star in the Kingdom's political arena next year."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Gray Fog fell silent.
Klein, the "Fool" seated at the head of the Bronze Long Table, kept replaying the two sentences that Miss "Justice" had casually added in his mind.
"The new Face Mask is definitely going to be one of Backlund's best-selling products next year."
"A donation of £300,000 is required to establish a hereditary Lord."
