"The Fool" Klein glanced at the gazes cast by the members, noticing the subtle awe within them, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He truly deserves to be called an excellent "Magician," adept at seizing every performance opportunity!

These words were a brilliant two-pronged approach: they both tested the identity of the "Blessed" and subtly elevated the status of the "Fool."

"High Sequence?" Fors paused, remembering Lorry's instructions, and instead of answering, asked, "Mr. 'World,' which Pathway do you need?"

"..."

Silence returned Above the Gray Fog.

The members of the Tarot Club, including "The Fool" Klein in the thick fog, were all taken aback by "The Magician's" answer.

This sentence means:

Is it possible to obtain the Beyonder Characteristic through any Pathway?

Wow, Fors's answer was so assertive, giving off a Coldness and powerful vibe. Wait, is her subtext that everyone should feel free to make requests, and her "friends" can handle it all?

Hmm, if we follow this line of thinking, it seems there's only one method I can think of: hunt down the corresponding Beyonder based on your needs.

As she pondered this, "Justice" Audrey suddenly felt a sense of dread.

She hesitated, wondering whether she should mention the characteristics of a "Hypnotist" to avoid harming any innocent "Hypnotist".

"The Magician," no! Who exactly is the Magician's friend? I dare not even say that!"The Hermit Cattleya, couldn't help but open her mouth.

Sequence 6 is fine.

Sequence 5... is Pirate Admiral- level existence in the Five Seas!

Even with the backing of the ancient Concealment "Moses Ascetic Order," she wouldn't dare guarantee that she could easily defeat an Beyonder of the same level!

The Beyonder behind the "Magician" is so confident?! Well, he seems to have been deeply involved in the Evil God incident and escaped unscathed!

Alger "Hanged Man," lowered his head slightly, trying to suppress his emotions. He made up his mind to ask about the "Ocean Songster" trait later.

It's no big deal to just say a few words!

You're... not playing by the rules... even more arrogant than Gehrman... Klein, after a moment's thought, controlled the "world" dummy and asked:

"I have a companion who is about to Advancement the ' Wraith ' level. Approximately how long will it take?"

"Wraith?" Fors recalled Lorry's teachings and said:

"Those Beyonder this Pathway are more active in the Southern Continent."

"If you or your companion need it, pay a deposit in advance, and my friend can set off immediately. The balance will be settled after receiving the product."

"Of course, this may take some time and a bit of Luck."

Judging from what she said, it seems she doesn't have the "Wraith" characteristic. Did she not give her "friend," or was my Mystery flawed?

Klein suddenly regretted his earlier boastful words, making it difficult for him to speak now. He then began to probe the existence of the "Serial Killer" characteristic again.

Since things had come to this point, he could only control the "world" to nod slightly:

"Good.

I'll ask for his opinion.

Just as I imagined... the world of Mysticism is truly dark... but that Mr. "Raven" doesn't seem like an evil person...

"Justice" Audrey suddenly frowned, remembering a point she had overlooked before.

Raven was still digesting the "Swindler" Potion in the latter half of last year, so how come he was able to hunt down powerful Beyonder in the Mid-Sequence just a few months later?

Thinking of this, she began to try to recall the events of that Tarot Club, and after a moment her eyes lit up as she remembered Mr. Fool's words.

uuɡu. First update, no typos. You won't see the pinyin suffix in the address input. You can then access the first update site.

He actually casually mentioned two possibilities, but everyone only focused on the former and ignored the latter. "Perhaps he was born with a bad personality and liked to play pranks."

Why would He use such a joking tone with someone He doesn't know well?

Clearly, "Raven" had long been Blessed of "The Fool," perhaps even before he and "The Hanged Man" arrived in the Gray Fog!

Mr. Fool is a kind and ancient God; He certainly wouldn't allow His Blessed to harm others at will, so...

These traits must have originated from an evil Beyonder!

Thinking this through, "Justice" Audrey immediately felt relieved, easily overcoming her initial resistance, and expressed her needs with anticipation:

"If possible, I'd like two copies of the ' Hypnotist ' trait."

"Two ' Hypnotist, okay?" Fors readily agreed.

Upon hearing this, "Fool" Klein felt that strangely familiar feeling again, and increasingly felt that the scene in front of him was like ordering food.

Miss "Justice" is clearly a customer, while Miss "Magician" is currently working as a Attendant, responsible for relaying requests to her "chef."

He amused himself by making a metaphor, a silent smile playing on his lips.

"Sun" and "Moon" remained silent. The former already had a Main Ingredient Sequence 6, and the latter was about to Advancement, so neither had any needs for the time being.

The Hermit Cattleya, has a way to obtain the subsequent Formula.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly glanced at the "Hermit" and asked in a deep voice, "Does it possess the Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Ocean Songster '?"

After saying that, he began to secretly calculate the price he could offer, intending to use it as a deposit to reserve the Sequence 5 feature in advance.

Fors said with a smile:

"What a coincidence! I happen to have a copy of the ' Ocean Songster ' trait. I wonder how much you're willing to pay for it, Mr. Hanged Man?"

Just then... "The Hanged Man" was so excited that he almost couldn't help but stand up.

He clenched his fists tightly, unable to control his emotions well; his gaze shifted between joy, gloom, and sorrow.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said frankly:

"I am currently unable to pay the price, and I hope to pay a deposit in advance in exchange for you not selling this feature for the time being."

How much deposit do you need?

Fors had already heard a similar conversation before attending this Tarot Club, so she spoke up without hesitation, according to someone's request:

You can choose either of the two options.

"For the first three opportunities to craft Sealed Artifact, I will only provide Beyonder Characteristic," and the Artisan's reward will be paid by you.

"Second, you act as an intermediary to facilitate a transaction, specifically the purchase of at least 800 milliliters of that ' Artisan's ' blood."

"If the transaction is successful, I will also pay an additional fee."

"Blood..." Alger looked troubled.

Fors added, "You can find ways to deal with the Mysticism connections in the blood, as long as you don't diminish its Spirituality."

That way, there's still hope for success... Thinking this, "The Hanged Man" Alger nodded slightly. "I'll try the second method as much as possible."

Fors then looked around:

You are the same.

"If you can provide the blood of a ' Artisan,' the reward will definitely satisfy you."

"The Sun" Derrick raised his hand respectfully:

"Miss Magician, what are you collecting blood for? Do you have a Vampire friend, or do you need to deal with the negative effects of such items?"
