The Fool Who Was Proven Wrong
Meanwhile, inside a Luxury Villa in Empress Borough.
In the lavishly decorated hall, Lorry's speech was drawing to a close.
He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the guests and invited reporters below the stage. After giving them a slight nod, he delivered his final words from the stage that evening. "Here, I would like to respond to the question posed by Mr. Des Shaw, Chairman of the Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee, the first question he asked me upon meeting me."
He said, "I'm puzzled as to why you accepted the invitation."
"With your experience and wisdom, you should be able to easily see that there is a natural opposition and conflict between the committee and your own industry."
My answer is, "Compared to a continuous flow of wealth, I would rather have myself and my children live in a world where we can breathe freely."
"From day one, the Posner Face Mask Factory was destined to go bankrupt, and I sincerely hope to see that day come as soon as possible."
After speaking, Lorry nodded to the crowd again, turned around and walked off the podium.
The hall remained deathly silent for several seconds before thunderous applause erupted, led by Archbishop Anthony, Sir Des Shaw, and others.
Another week of Tarot Club has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool ~" Looking around and noticing that there were no new members this week, "Justice" Audrey lifted her skirt slightly and spoke in a light voice.
After receiving a slight nod from this person, she began to greet the other members.
Huh, Mr. Moon and Mr. Hanged Man have both Advancement Sequence 6? Audrey noticed that both of them exhibited slight Spirituality overflow.
I'm so envious of them. I wonder when I 'Advancement "Hypnotist"? Of course, that's after I've digested the "Psychiatrist" Potion first.
Also, find the corresponding Beyonder Characteristic.
Thank goodness, Goddess, I'm not the worst in the Tarot Club —uh, Audrey, how could you think that—she glanced slightly unfocused at "The Magician," her writer friend from the Real World, and silently apologized in her heart. "Good afternoon, Miss ' The Magician '~"
"Good afternoon," Miss Justice replied Fors a light laugh.
Hmm, Fors's emotional colors are mainly red and orange, which represent enthusiasm, excitement, and satisfaction. Has something good happened to her recently?
"Is the ' Trickmaster ' digesting things very efficient?" Audrey, ever the "Justice" one, eagerly speculated, seizing every opportunity to observe.
After finishing her greetings, she looked apologetically at Mr. Fool, explaining that since she was not in Backlund, Roselle's Diary might need to be delayed for a while.
After receiving permission, Fors manifested five pages of a diary.
This was her reward for the small indulgence she received last week; she promised to collect ten pages of Emperor Roselle's Diary as compensation.
"The remaining five pages will be brought over next week," Fors said, sounding somewhat unsure.
She had actually gotten all the diaries from Lorry, but memorizing them by rote would undoubtedly be a very Affliction thing, so she planned to submit them in two weeks.
To be honest, she has a good memory.
If you grit your teeth, memorizing ten pages at once is entirely possible.
But this is too tiring, too tiring—she justified herself in her heart.
Judging from her tone, she had already collected everything—not bad, the channel for obtaining Roselle's Diary is quite stable—"The Fool" Klein thought with a sense of pleasure.
Is there anything in the world more enjoyable than getting something for nothing?
He felt that it wasn't true.
Thinking it over, Klein chuckled and nodded, "Very good."
After saying that, he looked expectantly at the diary presented by the "Magician".
Ten minutes later, Klein looked around and said, "You may begin."
Compared to before, Mr. Fool's tone was a bit more serious—could it be that he had made some new discovery through those few pages of Roselle's Diary? Quietly glancing around, Audrey "Justice" realized that no one else had noticed this, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Putting aside the Sequence, my observational skills are the most acute among Tarot Club!
Of course, Mr. "Fool" is an exception.
Fors shrank back, a lingering feeling in her heart about the look "The Fool" had given her just now...
There seemed to be a hint of resentment in her voice.
It must be—just my imagination, right?
It must be my imagination, after all, I've been so diligent in collecting his diaries.
Miss Magician's Diary—Alas—Meanwhile, "Fool" Klein sighed silently, trying to forget the memory of what had just happened.
He has just once again followed the perspective of Emperor Roselle, witnessing in words the emperor's glorious love affair with Intis.
"Your Majesty—" Klein shook his head almost imperceptibly, controlling the "World" dummy to obtain the method of separating Beyonder Characteristic from Mental Pollution from the "Sun."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," was slightly taken aback to have inexplicably received the same item for free. After thanking "The Sun," he looked at Fors opposite him and said, "Miss ' Magician,' I regret to inform you that despite my best efforts, the ' Artisan ' still refuses to provide his blood."
"I believe you can understand that there are far too many curses and rituals targeting it."
"Hmm." Fors nodded slightly, not feeling too disappointed.
If it were me, I probably wouldn't give my blood to a complete stranger unless I was driven to the brink of desperation.
people.
This was exactly what Lorry had anticipated, and she had already prepared a solution. "After the gathering, I will use my first opportunity to ask Mr. Fool to help me pass on the Harvest Priest's attribute, hoping to turn it into Mystical Item that helps crops grow."
This is for the crops and Vineyard of the territory.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," readily nodded. "Okay."
He had a good relationship with the "Artisan" and could commission him to create Mystical Item for a small fee.
For him, being able to retain a channel to purchase the "Ocean Songster" trait after paying such a price three times was practically a dream come true.
"Help crops grow? Isn't she a writer? What would she need such Mystical Item for?" Fool Klein couldn't help but wonder.
He subtly scanned the members of the Tarot Club, a vague guess forming in his mind that today's trading session would be very brief.
The reason is simple.
"The Hermit" is a well-established Sequence 5 Beyonder, and it's not that he has no needs, but rather that the current Tarot Club unlikely to satisfy them.
I believe she is aware of this and will not rashly make any requests.
The remaining members, "Justice," "Sun," "Moon," and "The Hanged Man," have all recently Advancement, and their most pressing need is to digest the Potion.
In this way, the demand for materials in the next Sequence is not actually very high, so there is no need to bring it up and emphasize it at every meeting.
I'm the same way.
As for "Magician," how should I put it?
Klein felt that her original intention in inviting the other party had unknowingly changed; it was no longer that she needed the Tarot Club, but that the Tarot Club needed her.
"We sold so much last week, shouldn't we take a break this week? Is my ' Blessed ' some kind of superman?" he thought to himself with a mischievous grin.
Thinking about it, his expression changed slightly as he saw the "Magician" raise his hand.
