Cattleya takes after the Hanged Man

The Hermit, Cattleya, nodded secretly, finding the Hanged Man's concerns to be reasonable.

As a renowned "Admiral of Stars the Five Seas, she possesses the strength of Sequence 5, stands at the very top of the Mid-Sequence, and commands a massive Fleet.

But £15,000 isn't something you can just take out of thin air.

As her thoughts drifted, she glanced sideways at the "Justice" lady at the front, thinking to herself, "Even a noblewoman like her is no different."

Uh, the "Hanged Man" is indeed meticulous... I didn't think of that... Of course, this is mainly because of the reputation of "The Magician," which made me subconsciously overlook similar possibilities... "The Fool" Klein muttered to himself, quietly salvaging his reputation.

He subtly shifted his gaze, waiting for the "Magician's" reply.

Immediately, Emlyn "The Moon" and Audrey "Justice," who had initially intended to agree, hesitated to speak and instead looked towards "The Magician."

Hugh looked at his friend as well, but his mood was completely different, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Fors smiled slightly and spoke without hesitation:

"This is a simple question."

"I can Sacrifice a sum of money to Mr. Fool in advance, asking Him to hold it for me. It serves as both a deposit and a payment to you."

"That should put everyone at ease, right?" Upon hearing this, the Hanged Man pondered silently for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

No one else spoke.

Only "Justice" Audrey asked with considerable curiosity:

How much are you planning to bet?

Fors thought for a moment and said:

"Cash, Gold Coins, and Gold Bars worth a total of £15,000."

Audrey couldn't help but let out an "uh":

"After completing today's transaction, can you still come up with 15,000 pounds?"

I can't even come up with £30,000 in liquid assets...

Although this amount is less than one-tenth of my wealth, most of it exists in the form of fixed assets such as Manor, land, and Hunting Forest...

This Earl, the daughter of a great banker, never imagined that one day she would envy others when it came to money.

Even our Tarot Club's wealthiest "Justice" Miss was startled...? Klein's gaze swept over the emotions of this most senior member, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Fors gave a soft "hmm" and looked at the head of the table:

"Is that alright, Mr. Fool?"

This huge sum of £30,000 represents almost all of Lorry's current wealth.

This includes his original savings of 13,000 pounds, the 10,000 pounds found in the underground chamber, and the Cash he obtained through a deal with the Temperance Faction.

They could not provide materials of equivalent value, so some transactions were conducted in Cash.

Sure, but no interest... and you'll need to pay storage fees... Klein thought to himself amusedly, nodding slightly.

"It's just a small matter."

With the deposit settled, "Moon" Emlyn spoke first, "I'll ask my people if they have these things."

"The Sun" Derrick nodded in agreement.

"Miss Magician, I will try my best to complete more tasks and accumulate contribution points."

The treasure vault of City of Silver contains many of the materials on the list, but since the corresponding Formula are unknown, they are mostly used in other ways.

"Justice," Audrey said.

"I can try."

He then quickly added, "But there's no way to guarantee the price; you can decide for yourself whether you want to proceed with the transaction."

Just saying this out of curiosity.

It was because after facilitating several transactions, she discovered a problem:

The Psychology Alchemists I belong to prefers bartering; if we're simply selling Beyonder Characteristic or Potion Formula, the premium is often quite high.

It's always better to explain things in advance than to talk about them after they happen.

Indeed, they're incredibly greedy... They sold me the Human-Skin Shadow perk at least 50% over the price... Klein muttered to himself, annoyed.

Then, he controlled the "world" dummy to nod slightly:

I'll keep an eye on it.

"The Hermit" Cattleya did something similar. Seeing that the other members had already expressed their opinions, Audrey couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "What are you collecting these materials for?"

In my memory, Mr. "Sun" has already given you so much.

Fors an "uh" sound.

"Is it inconvenient?" Audrey asked, slightly disappointed.

"No..." Fors said awkwardly.

Because I don't know either.

"He needed it, so I chose to help. It's that simple."

Audrey froze for three seconds, then forced a smile and nodded.

Miss "Magician" really doesn't miss any opportunity to show off her love... If you don't know, just say you don't know; there's no need to add that last part...

Klein couldn't help but mentally complain, thinking regretfully:

"To be honest, I'm actually quite curious about the reason."

"Unfortunately..." At this moment, Audrey noticed the "Hermit" who seemed hesitant to speak, and a thought immediately struck her, "Hermit, you seem to know the answer?"

"The Hermit" Cattleya nodded slightly, then looked to her side.

This powerful new member seems to be seeking Fors's opinion? For some reason, Audrey suddenly had this feeling.

Ever since "The Hermit" Tarot Club, "The Hanged Man," who had been observing the other party, slightly opened his eyes, his gaze becoming even more profound:

What's going on with this new member who seems to be a "Admiral of Stars"? Did she guess something? Why did she suddenly lower her stance?

After all, "The Magician" is only a Sequence 7!

Ever since seeing the list of materials manifested by the "Magician," the "Hermit" woman's reaction has been unusual; she's suddenly become much quieter... Her attitude towards the "Magician" woman isn't exactly ingratiating, but it's noticeably more respectful... It's reasonable to assume she knows the significance of this list?

At the head of the Bronze Long Table, "The Fool" Klein was also deep in thought.

He'll remind me of things to pay attention to beforehand; if he doesn't, it means it doesn't matter. Besides, I have no right to stop other members from answering questions...

Thinking this, Fors shrugged:

"I have no objection."

Seeing this, "The Hermit" Cattleya looked at "Justice": "These Beyonder Characteristic all belong to a Paths of the Divine we discussed before." "The Marauder, is that right?" Audrey countered.

Fors's "friend," Mr. Fool's powerful Blessed, is Beyonder on the "Marauder" Pathway, as the older members all know.

"Yes." Cattleya nodded and continued to ask:

"Do you know that there's something special about this Pathway?"

Audrey paused for a moment, then smiled faintly and shook her head.

What's so special about it?

Cattleya looked around, took a deep breath, and said:

"It is said that Sequence 4 of this Pathway is called ' Parasite.'"
