The Hermit, Cattleya, was also stunned for several seconds, never expecting that the secret tomb of Emperor Roselle would lead to the Abyss.
But after careful consideration, she realized that it was not surprising that such a high level of conflict involved anything.
For a moment, she hoped the Queen would stop investigating the matter, but ultimately she suppressed the thought, because she felt that she would have made a similar choice if she were in her shoes.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and " The Hermit " Cattleya bowed to the head of the long, weathered table:
Thank you for your answer. I have no more questions for today.
" The Fool " Klein nodded slightly, looked around, and said:
"You may begin."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Fors, the " Magician " who had been gathering his courage, spoke with a resolute attitude, as if he were closing his eyes and rushing towards death:
"Mr. World, I have something I'd like to ask you to do."
Seeing that "World" Gehrman Sparrow was looking at her, she quickly explained:
"You don't need to do much. Just drop me off in an unfamiliar place every now and then, and pick me up in a few days. If you're really busy, you can concentrate on one point in time and show me the ' Travel ' several times so I can ' Record ' them."
Upon hearing Miss " Magician's" words, the first thought that came to Klein's mind was:
"Wilderness Survival?"
I have so many suitable places, like the Ruins of the Gods' Battle at the easternmost point of the Sonia Sea, the Calderón City in the Spirit World, or Liveseyd, the " City of Miracles " in Groselle's Travels. They are all ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times more dangerous than the wilderness. I'm just afraid that Miss " Magician " won't be able to handle it... Klein didn't let "World" Gehrman Sparrow answer immediately, Manipulation the dummy to continue staring at Miss " Magician " with an oppressive gaze.
Fors took a silent breath, calmed himself down, and added in more detail:
"Here's the thing, I'm currently a ' Scribe ' at Sequence 6 of the ' Apprentice ' pathway. To digest the Potion, in addition to ' Record ' various extraordinary abilities, I also need to ' Record ' the local customs and folk legends of different places. I hope, I hope to become a ' Traveler ' as soon as possible. Only in this way can I avoid most of the dangers in the war."
"Mr. 'World,' I've only ' Record ' one ' Travel ' so far. Once I went somewhere else, I couldn't come back, so I have to ask for your help. I wonder if you'd be interested, and what kind of reward you'd like?"
So that's how it is... " Justice " Audrey finally realized, and thought Fors's idea was really brilliant.
Especially since she's a bestselling Author, writing and publishing books about the scenery and customs she " Record " should greatly help with the digestion of the Potion... Audrey nodded to herself, genuinely happy for her friend.
However, as a seasoned " Spectator," how could she not notice Fors's fear and apprehension towards Mr. "World"? She was actually quite looking forward to what would happen when the two officially met.
Audrey, this kind of mentality is not good! But, this is the mentality of a " Spectator "... Fors would never have imagined that the crazy adventurer she feared was just a mask, hiding a gentle and kind heart underneath... I also need to try to digest the " Dreamwalker " Potion and try to wander around the dreams around me every night... " Justice " Audrey did not let her expression or gaze change, maintaining a detached attitude.
After hearing the words of the " Magician," Alger, the " The Hanged Man," sighed, because even this " Apprentice " had begun to attempt to reach Sequence 5, while he himself was still stuck at that level.
"World" and " The Hermit " are already Sequence 4, and " Justice," " The Sun," " The Moon," and " The Star " are all Sequence 5. Apart from " Magician," only the newly joined " Judgement " is lower in Sequence than me... As thoughts surged, Alger felt a lump in his throat, difficult to dispel, and he desperately wanted to find an opportunity to make a name for himself and become the Demigod- like " Catastrophe Interrer."
He craved a high position, power, recognition, respect, and obedience; he didn't want to fall behind in the Tarot Club.
I see... Klein basically understood Miss " Magician's " thoughts, but then suddenly remembered something.
That was the self-identity the other person mentioned to Mr. The Fool during a Full Moon:
Former Doctor, now Author!
Uh, turning the horror legends I created into words and spreading them might help me better understand the " Bizarro Sorcerer " Potion... Hmm, the more thrilling, terrifying, and unsolvable the description, the better the effect should be... Klein suddenly had Spirit Intuition and Manipulation the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, saying:
"This request is simple, but the compensation I require is special."
Hearing that Mr. World seemed inclined to agree, " Magician " Fors asked with a mixture of joy and nervousness:
What kind of compensation?
"The World," Gehrman Sparrow said after a moment's thought.
"Collect the latest ghost stories from major hospitals in Backlund and compile them into a book for publication or to be published in newspapers."
"The requirement is that it be as terrifying and bizarre as possible, and it would be best if it could become a bestseller."
Klein only mentioned the major hospitals in Backlund because Miss " The Magician," as a local Author frequently mingled in Doctor circles, was familiar with those legends. It was perfectly reasonable for her to use them as material for her writing, and no one would suspect her. If she had also mastered the strange tales that appeared in the Rorsted Archipelago, the Sonia Sea, and West Balam, then Zaratul's Marionette would definitely come to "visit" her.
The ghost stories that have been circulating in the hospitals of Backlund recently... " Justice " Audrey paused for nearly three seconds after hearing the words of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow.
She had initially thought the legends stemmed from the Church 'Beyonder healing of the wounded, and that the mushrooms and weeds were negative effects of the magical items; it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
Audrey had also wondered if it was Dawn Dantès, since this gentleman had mentioned the air raid victims to her and was a kind-hearted gentleman. However, lacking other clues and evidence, she could only assume that the church was more likely to be responsible.
At this moment, she was almost certain that " Clown Angel " was Mr. "World" Gehrman Sparrow, or if not, they were closely related.
"Mr. World" wearing a mushroom and weed mask is just like Gehrman Sparrow wearing a mad adventurer mask... Why does he dress up like that when he's doing good deeds? Is it because he needs a sense of horror and the corresponding feedback?" Audrey thought to herself with a hint of Justice.
Leonard " The Star," and Alger, nicknamed " The Hanged Man," were both thinking about the urban legends that the " Nighthawks " of Saint Samuel Cathedral had been discussing recently, and Alger seemed to be pondering the terrifying tales that his subordinates had heard and encountered.
Um, I've never heard of such a reward before, it's not like I'm writing a biography... Although there's been a war recently, newspaper and magazine sales seem to have increased, and my previous editor has been urging me to write my new book... Hmm, I have to keep my identity a secret, I need to convince the editor to change my pen name, the excuse being that different styles require different pen names... " The Magician " Fors didn't have time to think too much, and after a brief consideration, replied:
Okay, no problem.
"The World," Gehrman Sparrow chuckled softly, his voice hoarse as he spoke:
"If you do well, I will give you the opportunity to ' Record ' your extraordinary abilities at the Demigod level."
"No problem!" Fors shook off her usual laziness and responded firmly.
For her, " Record " Demigod abilities not only enhances her self-defense capabilities but also allows her to digest Potion very effectively.
This prompted members like " Justice " Audrey, " Judgement " Hugh, and " The Star " Leonard to silently remark. " The Scribe is truly enviable..."
With Demigod- level powerhouse as a backer, the " Scribe " can unleash extraordinary strength, no less than Sequence 5, and sometimes even stronger!
After the deal was struck, there was a brief silence, as the other members of the Tarot Club didn't seem to have any immediate needs.
Leonard " The Star," has only recently become a " Spirit Warlock " and hasn't even fully summarized the rules of Acting. He also has the potential for further advancement from the Church of Evernight. As for magical items, he has already purchased " The Words of the Sea " and can apply to use the church's Sealed Artifact in special circumstances.
Emlyn " The Moon " is reading the Sanguine' internal research materials on the Moon realm every day, trying to make the " Scarlet Scholar " more realistic. However, he hasn't been able to use or afford the Sequence 4 " Warlock King's" Potion recipes and extraordinary materials for a long time.
" The Sun " Derrick has only just mastered the abilities of " Light Priest " and is still a long way from being promoted, but he has already obtained the main material for " The Unshadowed ";
Similarly, " Justice " Audrey and " Judgement " Hugh were also recently promoted; one was working hard to help "World" Mr. and accumulate merits, while the other was burdened with a large amount of debt and urgently wanted to repay it.
Alger " The Hanged Man," is a member of the Church of Storms and must conceal his secrets. He is currently in a rather awkward position, needing an opportunity to advance. Moreover, he possesses the Potion recipe for the " Catastrophe Interrer " from the "World."
The " The Hermit " Cattleya, a newly ascended Demigod, is currently delving into various Concealment and mystical knowledge. To her surprise, not long after her ascension, when she recalled the knowledge and secrets she had acquired, she discovered that she had directly absorbed a considerable amount of Potion. The various things she heard at the Tarot Club contributed significantly to this!
The transaction concluded quickly, and the members began to exchange ideas freely.
" The Moon " Emlyn looked around, his gaze finally settling on " The Star " Leonard's face:
"If you were official Beyonder, how would you deal with a clergy member from a hostile faction within your jurisdiction during wartime? He hasn't done anything wrong, nor does he intend to."
Although Feynapotter has not yet directly waged war against Loen, their invasion of Loen's ally Lenburg, has made the believers and people around the Harvest Church increasingly wary of Bishop Utravsky.
Leonard, the " The Star," thought for a moment and said rather consciously:
"Protective detention."
