The active "Magician"
The first Sealed Artifact... Apart from "The Hermit" Cattleya, almost all the other members of the Tarot Club had the same thought.
After a two-week hiatus, the lively "Magician" lady is back!
Fors recalled information about this Sealed Artifact and introduced it as follows:
"Its name is ' Eye of Wisdom,' which doesn't sound very nice. This is mainly because the original owner wasn't very educated. You'd better choose a different name."
"When wearing it, your vision will improve to a certain extent, and your observation and logical thinking abilities will also be enhanced accordingly."
"At the same time, the success rate of performing Ritual Magic increases."
There are two negative effects:
"First, the maximum wearing time should not exceed thirty minutes, otherwise vision will decline irreversibly, and observation and logical thinking abilities will be irreversibly reduced."
"Secondly, after each use, one will develop varying degrees of reading addiction, a craving for reading and learning, which can only be relieved by satisfying this desire; otherwise, one will feel uncomfortable all over. The degree of reading addiction is related to the duration of use, with the longest being no more than half a day and the shortest no less than ten minutes."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," vaguely felt that this description sounded familiar and tentatively asked, "Does it correspond to the ' Student of Ratiocination ' in the Reader ' Pathway?"
"That's right."
Fors nodded slightly, affirming the veteran member's statement. After a moment's consideration, he looked around at everyone and said, "As you can all see, its negative effects are very easy to avoid, so the price won't be too low. Given what just happened, my Starting Price is one thousand pounds."
"Justice" Audrey swept past "The Hermit" and "The World" before finally landing on "The Hanged Man" Alger directly opposite her.
Alger shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no interest in this Sealed Artifact; he preferred an offensive Sealed Artifact.
"Thank you." Audrey nodded lightly, turned her head to look at the "Magician" in the same row, and smiled, "Looks like it's about to be mine?"
Fors shrugged:
"After the party, I will ask Mr. ' Fool ' for help."
"Justice," Audrey hummed in agreement, then smiled and nodded at her friend from the Real World, "Me too."
After saying that, he added, "My financial situation has improved recently, and together with the previous debts, I have a total of £4,000 to give to you this time."
This debt stemmed from the "Psychiatrist" and "Hypnotist" Formula she had previously purchased, as she was indeed experiencing some financial difficulties at the time.
However, the situation is different now.
Now that she's officially an adult and has the support of her parents, she can easily scrape together the money, as long as it's less than ten thousand pounds.
After finalizing the deal, Audrey inquired about the "Psychiatrist" characteristic that "The World" had mentioned before, and received an affirmative answer.
Afterwards, she took the opportunity to request the acquisition of the "Hypnotist's " Beyonder Characteristic, promising to have "The Hanged Man," "The Moon," and others help her find them.
After doing all this, Audrey turned her head and smiled slightly at Fors.
Seeing that the other members had no intention of speaking for the time being, Fors asked "The Fool" Klein to conjure a black dagger once more:
Its name is "Nightmare Dagger," which corresponds to the "Nightmare" Pathway of the "Sleepless" and has a chance to force the attacked person into Dream Infiltration.
"According to the divination results, this probability fluctuates around 20%."
There are also two negative effects:
"First, it's very easy to feel sleepy when you carry it with you."
"Secondly, there is an extremely low probability that it will force the carrier to fall asleep, about one in ten thousand, so it is best not to carry it for a long time."
"Alternatively, you could try making or buying Charm that allows you to stay awake in a dream and escape it in time in dangerous situations."
After speaking, she subtly observed everyone's expressions and announced the price:
"My acceptable price is £1,700."
"Justice," "Sun," and "Moon" all expressed disinterest in turn. Klein hesitated for a moment, then controlled the "World" dummy to shake its head slightly.

He can remain conscious in his dreams, but he's not entirely satisfied with another negative effect.
It wouldn't be of much help to me, and there's no need to buy it for the other crew members... "The Hermit" Cattleya thought for a few seconds and finally decided to give up.
She still intends to stick to her Oldest One plan: observe more and participate less.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," frowned inwardly, secretly pleased.
"Too expensive."
His smugness did not escape the eyes of the "Spectator" opposite him. "Justice" Audrey raised her hand to her forehead and couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.
Mr. "The Hanged Man" is really... I guarantee he wouldn't have said that if everyone else hadn't dropped out of the competition...
Then she heard the "Hanged Man" say again:
£1,500.
"I knew it..." Audrey, the "Justice," turned to look at Fors and saw her nod as if she had been expecting it, her tone light and cheerful:
"Can.
"After the party, I will ask Mr. ' Fool ' to pass this on."
"... Okay." The seller's readily agreeable attitude left Alger, the "Hanged Man," feeling rather uneasy than happy about successfully negotiating the price.
He felt that the other party had been waiting for him to negotiate the price from the very beginning.
It turned out that Fors had overstated the price; her bottom Starting Price was 1,500 pounds... "Justice" Audrey looked away, both amused and exasperated.
Suddenly, her expression froze as she thought of the "Eye of Wisdom" she had just bought, and the many other things she had purchased from the same person.
Uh, she was probably only targeting Mr. "The Hanged Man"... yeah, that's it... Thinking this, Audrey gave Fors a resentful look.
"The Sun" Derrick seized the opportunity to speak:
"Miss Magician, last week I went hunting with some friends and we got some Blood-Spotted Black Mosquito and Candle-Eating Spirit Cores."
"After the party, you can ask Mr. ' Fool ' to give it to you."
"Really?" Fors's spirits lifted.
She then added, "No need to be so polite, just use 'you'." She felt it was a little strange for others to address her with honorifics.
"The Sun" Derrick shook his head bluntly:
"You have helped me a lot, and this is a necessary expression of respect."
"Whatever you want..." Fors, too lazy to persuade her further, got down to business, "Half an hour after the party ends, I'll ask Mr. ' Fool ' for Bestowal."
After saying that, she muttered to herself, "So tired," and looked around at the other members again. "Everyone, I have another batch of Beyonder Characteristic I plan to sell."
"Does it have the characteristics of a ' Hypnotist '? If..." Still immersed in the emotions from just now, "Justice" Audrey casually offered to support the "Magician."
But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Beyonder Characteristic?
A batch?
