In other words, when I first attended Tarot Club, the "Magician" had only recently Advancement to "Trickmaster"!

Then, in just half a month, she Advancement Sequence 7 again! Thinking of this, Cattleya suddenly turned her head and couldn't help but look at the "Magician".

She hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately didn't voice her doubts.

As a new member, she wasn't familiar with everyone yet. Besides, she believed that even if she didn't ask, other members would inevitably ask.

For example... thinking about it, her gaze drifted further afield to "Justice."

"How did you do that?" After asking, Audrey immediately felt a pang of annoyance, and the process of the Tarot Club subconsciously flashed through her mind.

The Oldest One days of reading belonged to Mr. "Fool"!

Thinking of this, she turned her head with a slight sense of horror and guilt to look at the figure in Gray Fog at the head of the Bronze Long Table, a figure that seemed to have existed for ages.

"Well asked..." "Fool" Klein silently gave "Justice" a thumbs-up in his heart, and nodded with a nonchalant chuckle.

He was also curious about how the "Magician" did it.

Seeing this, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Fool is still kind and benevolent, even tolerating the members' occasional little whims, like Fors last time, and me this time... Thinking of this, she quickly said:

"I will also collect ten pages of Roselle's Diary as payment for this recklessness."

Hmm? Klein wondered to himself, then was overjoyed when he realized that Miss "Justice" planned to follow the example of "The Magician" and offer ten pages of her diary for free.

Hopefully, her diary will be a little more "normal"... Otherwise, I'll really start to believe the saying "there's no such thing as a free lunch"... He silently muttered "Magician" to himself, then lightly tapped the Bronze Long Table with his finger. "It's a small matter, you can continue."

Upon hearing this, Audrey immediately looked at Fors.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the other members were also looking in their direction.

... Those annoying guys, they always wait for me to speak... She puffed out her cheeks in frustration and looked away from them.

Seeing that Fors remained silent, Audrey coughed lightly and said, "I can pay you, Mr. Fool, if you agree to a private conversation."

"Well, no payment or private conversation needed, because there's nothing special about it," Fors said sincerely. "It was just a good opportunity to play along, digesting most of the Potion directly, and with the help of Mr. 'World,' the rest was also digested."

"A great opportunity to play a role?" Audrey muttered, then fell silent, knowing that such opportunities were rare and unpredictable.

I believe most of what Miss "Magician" said, but "find"... I don't believe it. "Create" would be more like it... Judging from the reaction of "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, her friend obviously has the ability to do this... Klein speculated calmly.

After thinking for a moment, he chuckled and spurred the party to continue. The transaction began.

Alger the Hanged Man asked to buy the Formula for the Ocean Songster. Klein watched with great interest as Alger and Hermit the Cattleya probed each other, finding it quite amusing.

Then, "Sun" Derrick brought up Elder Lovia's release, receiving many suggestions from the other members.

As time passed and the Free Exchange Session drew to a close, Klein, controlling the "World" dummy, looked at the "Magician" and asked:

"Miss Magician, how's the matter I asked you to handle?"

These words left the other members slightly stunned.

Did "The World" and "The Magician" have another private exchange?

Fors, recalling the contents of the reply, didn't answer but asked a question instead:

"Mr. World, my friend asked me to pass on a message: Did you buy these Mystical Item to resolve the contamination of your Beyonder Characteristic?"

There was no need to hide it, so the "world" readily agreed.

"If that's the case..." Fors smiled and said:

"He said he could offer five different solutions to this problem, and you can choose the one that best suits your needs." Five? Klein, shrouded in Gray Fog, couldn't help but want to pick his ear, wondering if there was something wrong with his hearing.

Having struggled to survive for thousands of years in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, where even the Seven Deities could not find, the City of Silver, a place of Beyonder at the Demigod level, only then learned of two methods.

Even the "Hermit" Cattleya, who has reached Sequence 5 strength and is backed by the "Moses Ascetic Order," only provides one type.

You said your friend can provide five?!

Similar thoughts also crossed the minds of those in the know: "The Sun" Derrick, "The Hanged Man" Alger, and "The Hermit" Cattleya.

They looked at Fors in unison, their expressions unreadable.

After a few seconds of silence, "World" spoke in a hoarse voice:

I need to hear the answer before making a choice.

"Mmm." Fors nodded happily and began to introduce:

"First, he can provide a Charm that Stealing Beyonder Ability for a reasonable price of five hundred pounds, but you will need to deal with the Mental Pollution yourself."

"This is the most dangerous of the five methods."

"Secondly, I will temporarily create one of the Mystical Item you requested, which will exist for no more than three hours, otherwise it will disappear. Its advantage is that it can temporarily limit the stolen Mental Pollution, giving you time to leave at your leisure. The price is one thousand pounds."

"Third, you will hand over that Mystical Item that has been Mental Pollution to me, and he will be responsible for handling it and restoring your normal Beyonder Characteristic."

"Fourth..."

Before she could finish speaking, "The World" suddenly raised a hand and said in a deep voice, "You haven't said what the price is for the third method."

"You won't need to pay any extra," Fors replied, "But he'll only return the feature you need, and the rest is your reward."

"Please have Angel- level being intervene and completely shatter the ' All-Black Eye '?" The World nodded almost imperceptibly, withdrawing its hand to signal the Magician to continue.

Fors smiled and said:

Fourth, he can teach you a method to crush Beyonder Characteristic on your own, but I don't recommend you choose that now.

"This method is extremely dangerous. Within your Pathway, at least Sequence 5 is required to even attempt its use; otherwise, certain death is inevitable."

She skipped over the payment and went straight to the last method:

Fifth, with his help, you can collect the Beyonder Characteristic you need. You only need to pay the price to receive a clean set of traits.

"Mystical Item of this caliber generally cost over ten thousand pounds, and even at a friendly price, they won't be much lower than ten thousand pounds."
