The Outstanding Member "Magician"

Sure enough, something big had happened at sea... "Justice" Audrey's heart skipped a beat. She glanced to her right, then looked directly across the sea:

"Jodson with the Flower Bow Tie?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the other members and noticed that only Mr. "Sun" and Mr. "Moon" reacted similarly to her.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," nodded slightly and hummed in agreement.

According to recent news, this king-level Pirate has officially broken away from the "Golden Dream" and declared himself king.

"And what is his title?" Audrey asked with great interest.

Alger spoke in a deep voice, "King of the Curtain."

"King of the Curtain..." Audrey repeated softly a few times, half with emotion and half with a joke, "A very mysterious and powerful title."

"Mr. Hanged Man, will this cause a dramatic change at sea?"

"Of course." Alger nodded without hesitation.

"Whether in the Real World or the Mysticism world, the official birth of a Pirate King is a truly significant event."

"On a larger scale, it could even affect the political landscape overseas." Upon hearing this, "The Moon" Emlyn couldn't help but speak up:

"Political landscape?"

Can a Demigod really wield that much influence?

There are quite a few ancient beings of this level among the Sanguine.

Alger glanced sideways at the former buyer, about to explain, when he suddenly heard the voice of the "Hermit" woman diagonally opposite him:

Even on land, the influence of a Demigod should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the vast Five Seas.

" For Beyonder of this caliber, no powerful nation in the Northern Continent would hesitate to extend an olive branch to them, provided they are willing to express a friendly attitude."

"If he wanted, he could easily hold a high position in the Loen Kingdom, becoming one of the most powerful people, perhaps even a dozen or so."

After speaking, Cattleya turned to look at Alger, the "Hanged Man":

Your message is outdated.

Outdated? Alger frowned slightly in confusion and asked directly, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Cattleya glanced back at the "Magician," and seeing no reaction, looked around again, then looked at the "Hanged Man" and asked instead of answering:

Do you know where this news came from?

"I don't know." Alger shook his head.

Cattleya spoke calmly, "It should be through the channels of the ' King of the Five Seas '."

"Nast, the King of the Five Seas?" Upon hearing this, "Justice" Audrey exclaimed in surprise, "That most powerful Pirate King?"

Then, out of curiosity, he asked:

Why did he help this "King of the Curtain"?

"Cooperative relationship?"

She had heard Mr. "The Hanged Man" introduce this Pirate King, and knew that he was High Sequence powerhouse with a powerful Horror Ghost Ship.

Cattleya gently shook her head, indicating that she did not know the answer.

Then, she glanced at "The Magician," indicating that if "Justice" was really curious about the reason, he might as well ask this member directly. --Although Fors never admitted it, everyone basically assumed that "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson was her friend, or rather, one of her identities.

"Miss Magician, is this convenient?" Audrey asked, turning her head.

Seeing this, the others all turned their gazes towards it.

They also wanted to know the answer, but not as intensely as this young lady.

Miss Justice is really curious... even about things that have nothing to do with her... Fors muttered to herself and nodded slightly.

"It's more of a temporary partnership."

Cattleya looked thoughtfully at the "Justice" at the front. "I can answer your first question."

She paused slightly before continuing:

"The King of the Five Seas ' may not necessarily be the most powerful Pirate King now."

After saying that, she added in her mind, "It might not have been like that before. The Queen isn't interested in rankings like that and has never gone all out."

As expected of Pirate of admiral rank, "The Hermit's " intelligence is much better than "The Hanged Man's "... Judging from her words, she seems to be hinting at something... Could it be that "King of the Five Seas" suffered a loss at the hands of my "Blessed"? Impossible... This is Great Pirate who has lived since the time of Emperor Roselle... Klein's thoughts were racing, but he did not rush to control "The World" to inquire.

Sure enough, he soon heard Miss Justice's gentle voice. "Because of the new Five Kings?"

This noble lady has never disappointed me... Klein chuckled inwardly, a pair of ears quietly perking up beneath the Gray Fog.

Without hesitation, "The Hermit" Cattleya replied, "Internal intelligence of the Intis Navy indicates that these two clashed deep within the Fog Sea."

"Perhaps they were just testing each other, but judging from the result, Nast, the ' King of the Five Seas, ' was indeed at a disadvantage."

"As for the reason for the confrontation, according to the Intis Navy's high command, it may be because of a Ghost Ship that has been left over from the Solomon Empire since the Fourth Epoch."

Alger couldn't help but speak up:

Ghost Ship that could make Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," wage war against another Pirate King... Could it have reached the level of Demigod?

"The treasures of the Solomon Empire?"

Klein's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and many of the previous clues spontaneously connected.

The treasures of the Solomon Empire... one of the six legendary treasures of the sea...

If I remember correctly, the Solomon Empire possessed the "Black Emperor" Pathway, and the Ghost Ship left behind most likely belonged to this Pathway as well...

No wonder Miss "Magician" borrowed the "Black Emperor" card through "The World"... So that's what she was planning: using the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence to find the treasure of the Solomon Empire... a Ghost Ship at the level of a Demigod...

If I had a boat like that, I wouldn't need to pay that "Hermit" lady for help... £3,000 for the boat fare, she really dares to ask for such an exorbitant price...

As the thought crossed his mind, Klein's lips twitched slightly in pain beneath the Gray Fog. This fare was nearly 30% of his current savings.

His already impressive net worth of over ten thousand pounds was nothing compared to that Demigod- level Ghost Ship!

So, the fact that they found the Ghost Ship was largely thanks to "Black Emperor," aren't they planning to give me a share of the profits? Do these two even know how to behave...?

Klein thought to himself with mixed feelings, admitting that he was a little envious.

You must understand, that was a Ghost Ship at the level of a Demigod! Even someone like me, the "Fool," doesn't have many of such treasures.

The only "Sea God Scepter" was obtained through a trade with a resurrected ancient god.

Therefore, I had to owe the other party three conditions.

"I hope this ancient being won't make things too difficult for me in the future," he muttered to himself, deep in thought, drawing his attention back to the Gray Fog World.

Klein glanced around without making a sound and saw that all the members except "The Magician," including "The Hanged Man" who made the guess, and even the usually optimistic "Justice," all had a hint of melancholy, sadness, and silence in their Astral Body expressions.

Turns out I wasn't the only one feeling sour... He felt a lot better afterward. At that moment, Cattleya softly hummed in agreement.

"My guess is this: it's said that one of the purposes of the Intis Navy's deployment there is to find this Ghost Ship, but unfortunately, there has been no progress."

After Soothing herself down, Audrey enthusiastically joined the discussion. "What is the treasure of the Solomon Empire?"

"One of the six most famous and most legendary treasures on the high seas," Cattleya explained simply, turning to look at the noblewoman.

"Justice" Audrey boldly speculated. "I heard Mr. ' The Hanged Man ' say that ' Vice Admiral Iceberg ' likes to search for treasures everywhere. Is this ' King of the Curtain ' staying on the ' Golden Dream ' just to find a Ghost Ship that matches his strength and status?"

"You shouldn't be asking me this question." Cattleya tilted her head slightly to the left.

Audrey's eyes immediately lit up as she looked over:

"Miss Magician?"

Miss Audrey is truly... sigh, her tone is so hard to refuse... I wonder which lucky man will be fortunate enough to marry this jewel in the Future...

Fors sighed inwardly and looked at this familiar face from real life:

More or less.

"He joined the ' Golden Dream ' indeed to find treasure." Surprisingly, Miss "Justice" was right... Also, didn't Miss "Magician" deny it before? Why is she acting so differently now?

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and their relationship has taken a significant turn for the better?" The Fool Klein irresponsibly speculated about the reasons.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something:

The materials that Miss "Magician" just asked everyone to help collect include several Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl" items from the "Black Emperor" Pathway!

The other materials, according to the little "Sun's" description, are very likely to belong to Sequence 4 of the "Devil" Pathway!

Does this suggest that the "Magician" friend is not actually alone, and that he is acquiring these materials to cultivate his own companions and subordinates?

Even clones!

"Judging from Leonard's situation, the host of the ' Marauder ' Demigod Parasitism can also continue to Advancement... Hiss, that feels a bit creepy."

"If his plan succeeds, then the Demigod behind Miss Magician will no longer be just one, but three or even more!"

Is the "Marauder" Pathway really that powerful?

If I'm having trouble collecting Sequence 4 Formula after "Advancement" to "Marionettist," should I consider Advancement to Adjacent Pathways?

"According to Emperor Roselle's description, the ' Seer,' ' Apprentice,' and ' Marauder ' should belong to Adjacent Pathways; we can ask Mr. Azik about this when we have time. As for the clues for the latter two..."

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but glance at "The Magician".

Perhaps I'll still need to rely on her for my future Advancement... Sigh, speaking of which, Miss "Magician" is really great; she often comes up with things that other members need... Whenever she gets some powerful or Mystical Item, she always generously shares it with the Tarot Club right away...

What was I thinking...? Such an outstanding member doesn't need any criticism... As he pondered, his gaze softened unconsciously.

Fors, who was engrossed in listening to "Ms. Justice" share interesting Psychology anecdotes, did not notice this scene, but "The Hanged Man" Alger saw it all.
