"The Magician's " lighthearted voice echoed through the boundless Gray Fog.

Sitting at the head of the mottled long table, "The Fool" Klein listened to the other person's description and suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Enhancing charm, Mirror Substitution technique, eerie Black Flame... Having dealt with Demoness many times, he quickly realized what was going on and quietly made a guess in his mind:

Did this Sealed Artifact come from a "Demoness"?

Hmm, it's probably still Mid-Sequence.

Wait a minute! This is considered a negative effect? Sure, maybe it is for men, but for women, it's practically negligible!

Klein recalled the Sealed Artifact he owned or had heard of, and silently gave them a score of 9 out of 10.

That one point is deducted for the negative effect of "charm enhancement." If the holder is not strong enough, possessing it will bring unbearable Catastrophe.

Unless, of course, the holder uses this Sealed Artifact with restraint.

But then his thoughts shifted again, and he thought of the "Magician's " "friend," his own "Blessed" whom he had never met.

After a moment's hesitation, I changed it to 9.5.

By this time, Fors had finished introducing the Sealed Artifact, and as her voice gradually faded, the Above the Gray Fog returned to silence.

My skin is better, my figure is better, I'm even more beautiful... Hmm, I really want to buy it for my mom... Of course, when she doesn't need it, I, as her daughter, can help store it for a few days... But it's a pity, Fors doesn't seem to have any plans to sell it. Should I ask about it...?

Alas, her financial situation seems quite good lately; she's not short of money... Unless, I can offer her a price she can't refuse... My dear father, Earl Hall, would certainly be willing to pay for it... Even if he isn't, the beautiful Earl's Wife would make him...

Completely absorbed in this Sealed Artifact, "Justice" Audrey was lost in thought. She silently apologized to her friend and couldn't help but ask:

Are you selling them?

She froze after saying that, because more than one person had said the same thing at the same time.

"Justice" Audrey glanced around, her gaze sweeping over the new female member "The Hermit," before turning to "The Moon" and "The Hanged Man" opposite her.

"Why are you two getting involved? You don't need it yourself!" she thought to herself, huffing in annoyance, and began to think about the reasons.

There's a 50% chance "The Moon" will be given to a family member or the Lovers... the latter is more likely. That's how it's always written in romance novels. cough Sanguine have long lifespans, but they bear the fate of watching their beloved partners grow old, which is why he wants to buy it...

The other half might want to buy it and resell it to a woman of the same race... Sanguine only have long lifespans, not that they don't age...

And Mr. Hanged Man, without a doubt, wants to sell it for a higher price... Hmph, I won't let him succeed, because I want it too...

The thought flashed through her mind, and "Justice" Audrey nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Why are you looking at me like that...? Even if I don't need it myself, can't I just give it to someone else...? For example, add a few thousand pounds and give it to a family member in need...

As he thought Moon, several figures appeared in Emlyn's mind.

They were all elders in their tribe, far from the age where they needed to lie in coffins to rest, but their appearances had already begun to show signs of aging, and their skin had begun to sag.

More importantly, they have lived long enough and are very wealthy.

If they knew they possessed such a Sealed Artifact that could make women beautiful again, they would surely flock to their doorstep.

No, crush it!

Alger "Hanged Man," gave a soft snort, making no other reaction, busy thinking about which buyer might offer the highest price and how to beat the competition.

"Sigh, I originally only intended to observe..." "Hermit" Cattleya sighed softly, glancing back at "Justice" Miss.

"Sorry, you're still young. You might find something better..." She leaned forward slightly, adopting a determined posture.

As one of the seven great Pirate Admiral, Cattleya was relatively well-off.

Therefore, even after guessing the noble status of "Justice," she never considered giving up; for her, it was a sure-fire deal.

Even if you don't need it someday, you can easily find a buyer willing to pay a premium.

"The Sun" Derrick turned his head blankly and looked at "The World," the only one who hadn't spoken besides "The Magician."

Heh, you don't understand, do you? Every woman cares about two things: age and beauty, even Beyonder are no exception... Klein didn't speak, responding to "Sun's " confused gaze in his mind, then suddenly remembered the reason for the other's confusion, and sighed silently.

In an environment like City of Silver, probably no woman would care about these things.

I hope the little "Sun" can grow up quickly and lead its people out of the predicament that has plagued them for thousands of years... with the help of myself and other members of the Tarot Club...

He silently offered a blessing to the member, then gathered his thoughts and drew his attention back to the Gray Fog World.

The tension is palpable... Although no one is speaking yet, everyone is waiting for Miss "Magician" to speak... Klein was secretly observing, chuckled.

Actually, he had also considered acquiring this Sealed Artifact earlier.

However, considering the potentially fierce competition and the fact that his main channel was Tarot Club, he had no choice but to abandon the idea.

Fors smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and answered without hesitation:

"Not for sale!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tarot Club members who had been craning their necks to wait for an answer suddenly remembered that the "Magician's" original intention was to assess value.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," sighed inwardly in regret and spoke in a deep voice:

"Your Sealed Artifact corresponds to Sequence 7 ' Witch ' in the ' Demoness ' Pathway. Sealed Artifact of the same level generally do not exceed two thousand pounds."

Considering the practicality of the "Mirror Substitution" and "Black Flame" abilities, the attractiveness of "Enhanced Charm" to women, and the almost negligible negative effects, its true value could be at least two or three times higher. I think five thousand to seven thousand pounds is a reasonable price range for it.

"Of course, there will definitely be people willing to pay a premium, but the specific amount depends on the bidder's budget and purchasing desire."

After speaking, he glanced at "Justice" across from him. Clearly, in his mind, this wealthy noblewoman was probably offering the highest price.

Audrey thought for a moment and gave a number:

"If it were me, the maximum price I'd be willing to pay is ten thousand pounds." Saying this, she turned to the "Magician," and smiled as she spoke.

Is this price attractive enough for you?

Ten thousand pounds... Fors clicked her tongue inwardly, even knowing the other party's true identity, she was still taken aback by the Earl's wealth and extravagance.

The price is tempting enough... but compared to this Mirrors, the money is negligible... Thinking this, she shook her head firmly.

"Not for sale."
