He glanced discreetly at the seemingly unaffected "world" directly opposite Mr. Fool, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice:

What did she say to you just now?

He asked about "Justice," and the two had a somewhat good relationship.

"Can I speak?" "Justice" Audrey turned her head to look at "Magician" Fors, the writer friend she knew in the Real World.

Fors thought about it carefully and realized that Lorry hadn't told her not to reveal it to anyone, so she shrugged indifferently.

"What ever."

The true meaning of this sentence is:

You can say what you want to say, but I don't want to repeat myself.

Upon hearing this, "Justice" Audrey fell into thought, considering whether or not she should speak.

But she quickly remembered the Hanged Man's mockery of her earlier, and his recent financial straits, and immediately decided to get a little revenge.

Imagining the Hanged Man's expression in her mind, "Justice" Audrey couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

"Well done!" said Mr. Hanged Man.

"The Fool" Klein thought to himself with amusement, feeling that the other person often had a tacit understanding with him and unconsciously took on the role of mouth substitute.

With this in mind, he slightly adjusted his posture, waiting for Miss "Justice" to speak.

Looking around, "Justice" Audrey chuckled:

"It's nothing really," Miss Magician said. She just wanted to make a deal with me and another Concealment organization I was involved with.

"Well, the specific details of the transaction are..."

She paused slightly, a gentle smile playing on her lips, and answered in a light and cheerful tone, "Twenty-one ' Elder Tree Fruit '."

A beautiful voice rang out in the Gray Fog Space.

Immediately, there was complete silence.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," stared wide-eyed, and involuntarily pinched his ears twice, as if to confirm the reality of what he was hearing.

How many "Elder Tree Fruit" did "Justice" just mention?

It seems... there are twenty-one?

He took a deep breath and couldn't help but confirm again:

"Twenty-one?"

"Yes." "Justice" Audrey looked at Mr. Hanged Man's face with satisfaction, her tone as light as before.

She added insult to injury:

"And that doesn't include the one I traded for."

Based on the minimum price of £600, the total value of this transaction is £12,600... The university-educated "Fool" Klein quickly calculated the answer in his head.

He glanced at "Miss Justice" with annoyance, secretly thinking to himself:

Although I can tell you're deliberately retaliating against the "Hanged Man's " earlier mockery, as the "Fool," I can't help but say something:

"Miss Justice, you've accidentally hurt me!"

I know about the Elder Tree Fruit; it costs between 600 and 700 pounds, and there are twenty-one of them... I could buy so many limited-edition dolls with that money...

No, I can't buy all the dolls. I still need to use some of them to buy the Sanguine Baron traits provided by Mr. "The Hanged Man"...

Even so, one could still buy many limited edition dolls and dress them up in pretty little outfits... "Moon" Emlyn sighed inwardly.

He looked at the "Magician" with envy, regretting that the money didn't belong to him.

"The Sun" Derrick looked at everyone except "The Fool" with a puzzled expression:

Why is everyone looking at "Miss Magician" like that? She has always been so outstanding, strong, and also warm-hearted and generous!

Hehe... to the others, I didn't mean to...

Seeing the "Hanged Man's" reaction, "Justice" Audrey breathed a satisfied sigh of relief, while sincerely apologizing to the others in her heart.

Although she has officially come of age and is about to receive a large sum of money, most of it is still fixed assets, and she doesn't have much money that she can actually control.

In other words:

Even for her, more than ten thousand pounds was a huge fortune.

Moreover, they do not appear in the form of banknotes and checks, but in the form of Beyonder Characteristic, and all of them are the same Beyonder Characteristic.

The sense of awe this one has is incomparable to the previous two.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly turned to look at the "Magician": "You, which Church's treasury did you rob?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others also turned their interested gazes towards him.

"No, don't talk nonsense..." Fors said irritably, "We... I just happened to encounter an ' Elder Tree ' during my vacation."

Upon hearing this, a phrase from his past life unconsciously flashed through the mind of "Fool" Klein: "Thank you for the gifts of nature."

Extraordinary wild creatures?

Fors is so lucky... "Justice" Audrey sat up straight, letting her imagination run wild, making no attempt to hide her envy of her friend.

Economic support is only one aspect.

More importantly, she found Fors's adventurous vacation very interesting, perfectly matching her imagination of the Beyonder life.

Alger the Hanged Man asked with a suspicious look, "Can the Elder Tree bear so much fruit?" He then looked at Mr. Fool.

Don't look at me... I've never even seen the Elder Tree... Klein, Fool had just been praising the "Hanged Man" in his heart, turned around and started to mutter complaints.

However, judging from what "The Hanged Man" said, a normal "Elder Tree" shouldn't be like this... I think so too. How could the value of Mid-Sequence extraordinary creature be this high? It's almost outrageous... The "Faceless" I just sold has less than a third of its stats, which is within the normal range...

His thoughts were in turmoil. He tapped the weathered long table with his finger and chuckled softly:

"Some form of variation."

This is a conclusion Klein reached after careful analysis based on his knowledge of Mysticism, and he is very confident that it is the correct answer.

Of course, there is also the possibility of Error.

After all, he had never seen any "Elder Tree" with his own eyes.

But even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter. How could the ancient God ' answer be wrong? It must be that you're not powerful enough to detect its mutation...

"God is indeed God..." Fors looked at the Gray Fog figure with awe.

She had heard Lorry mention that the "Elder Tree" did indeed have a problem, and the reason it was so laden with fruit was most likely because it had "eaten" a lot of tourists in the past.

Having successfully rebuilt his image as "The Fool," Klein, seeing that no one else was proposing a deal, chuckled and said, "Let's discuss it freely."

"Justice" Audrey inquired about the specifics of the "Magician's " story.

Under the watchful eyes of almost everyone, Fors reminisced and quietly recounted her New Year's holiday trip.

maritime?

"Justice" made no attempt to conceal its yearning; "The Hanged Man" clenched its fists secretly; while "The Sun" and "The Moon" lost interest considerably.

For the former of City of Silver, the sea was something of legend.

The latter would rather stay at home with the doll.

At sea... "The Fool" Klein was filled with excitement, thinking about the auspicious day for departure that he had divined earlier, and was full of anticipation for the journey ahead.
