Upon hearing the Fool's answer, Alger the Hanged Man quietly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and humbly said:
Please allow me to commend you in advance for listening.
Because I'm also very curious... very curious about what kind of magical item a Sequence 6 " Wind-blessed " believes can grant him the power of Sequence 4... very curious about what a pirate general wants to do in Backlund... Klein smiled slightly, maintaining his profound and silent demeanor.
Anyway, I didn't promise to help just because I listened! He emphasized to himself.
However, he now has more confidence than before, because his real-world ally, the mysterious Mr. Azik, is in Backlund.
If absolutely necessary, Klein is willing to use the bronze whistle to ask Azik for help. Of course, he will not mention the " Tarot Club," but will only vaguely indicate that it comes from some intelligence source.
There are two issues in this matter. First, Klein and Azik are currently only in a cooperative relationship, and the other party is not necessarily going to provide assistance unless something Qilangos wants to do, or some magical item is involved, can pique the other party's interest.
Secondly, Klein was not clear about Azik's current strength. Even if he adjusted his guess and believed that the other party was High-Sequence powerhouse, he still had to carefully consider the weakening caused by "amnesia". After all, knowledge is often equal to power, and incomplete knowledge will definitely reduce power.
As a result, Klein was not sure whether Azik could deal with Qilangos, who possessed " Creeping Hunger," and was somewhat worried that this might endanger his acquaintance. He was unwilling to trouble him unless absolutely necessary.
Just think of the terrifying "messenger" summoned by Mr. Azik's bronze whistle... No, that guy is more like a boss Acting a messenger! Hmm, even if Mr. Azik can't defeat Qilangos with the " Creeping Hunger " buff, he should be able to easily protect himself and have the spare capacity to save the " The Hanged Man " and Miss " Justice's" Beyonder companions... Klein thoughtfully adjusted his posture, keeping his back against the chair, and casually crossed his right leg over his left.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," glanced at the " The Fool " and spoke again:
"I am about to acquire a batch of Emperor Roselle's diaries, and I believe I can present them to you at the next gathering, or the one after that."
According to the division of the Church of the Lord of Storms, Pritz Harbor is under the jurisdiction of the Backlund Diocese. Therefore, Alger can enter the kingdom's capital under the pretext of reporting on the last voyage, waiting for " Admiral Hurricane " Qilangos to reveal his whereabouts.
Historically, Backlund was the headquarters of the Church of the Lord of Storms until the end of the last era when the Kingdom of Loen was established, at which point they moved the altar to Passo Island. Therefore, in every respect, the Backlund diocese of the Lord of Storms was second only to the headquarters of the seven major churches, and one can imagine the richness of the various materials available there.
In this situation, Roselle's Diary, which is inherently undecipherable and semi-publicly available for study by the Church's Beyonder, would certainly be quite easy to collect, Alger was very confident about.
Klein deliberately added a touch of pleasure to his tone and nodded slightly:
"Very good."
His true feelings at this moment were half joy and half sorrow. He was joyful because he would soon be able to see many pages of Roselle's Diary, which might contain a lot of useful information. He was worried about what he could offer in exchange for the " The Hanged Man," since no one could say for sure whether the diary contained anything that would interest the " The Hanged Man," or whether the content had enough value.
Even a " Seer " cannot know in advance... Do I really have to ask my " Blessed " for help? Klein sighed silently.
Seeing that the conversation between the " The Hanged Man " and Mr. The Fool had come to an end, Audrey Hall quickly asked:
"Dear ' The Fool,' if I receive information that is extremely useful and of obvious timeliness, may I also inscribe your name and convey it to you through a ritual?"
Timeliness... Look how elegant Miss " Justice " is with her words! Compared to her, " The Hanged Man," you're so vulgar! Klein nodded almost imperceptibly, speaking through the thick Gray Fog:
"Can."
"Great! "Audrey quietly clenched her fist.
At the same time, Klein turned to look at Derrick Berg, the " The Sun " who was listening silently, and said in a calm tone:
"The same as you."
"Yes, Mr. ' The Fool '." Derrick lowered his head.
Inside the majestic palace above the Gray Fog, a few seconds of silence followed before Audrey spoke up:
"I need the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Salamander."
"One of the main ingredients of the ' Mind Reader ' Potion?" Alger the Hanged Man nodded almost imperceptibly, as if deep in thought.
"No, to be honest, I've only ever seen this kind of creature in textbooks. The Sun..." Derrick heard the automatically translated " Phantom Drake."
What textbooks introduce extraordinary beings? I'm so envious... The similar materials I got at the Beyonder Gathering were either direct oral accounts or crumpled pieces of paper, unsystematic and disorganized... Later, I'll have the chance to exchange textbooks with " The Sun "! Hmm, he's interested in the formula for the " Bard " Sequence... Audrey thought with a pang of envy.
Just then, Alger glanced at " The Fool," then looked away, turned to the opposite side, and said thoughtfully:
"I might be able to obtain the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Salamander."
Before Audrey could rejoice, he added:
"But the prerequisite is finding Qilangos. Then, combined with the portion I need to compensate you, it will equal the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Salamander. Miss ' Justice,' you may not know, but this sub-dragon is nearly extinct. Currently, only certain primitive islands in the Sonia Sea, the Raging Sea, and the Sonia Sea still retain traces of them, and the coordinates of these islands are known to only a very few people. Heh, if you're interested in the future, we can make some exchanges in this regard, because I am one of those few."
I'm also interested in those primitive islands... Klein listened silently to their conversation.
Thinking of the near extinction of the Rainbow Salamander subspecies, he suddenly recalled the joke he had made with Old Neil about the Dragon and Giant Protection Association, and his mood sombered.
Audrey was very excited as she listened, and, trying to contain her emotions, said:
"I once dreamed of sailing the seas, searching for those pristine islands, and experiencing their ancient charm."
Goddess, the Tarot Club is so powerful and amazing! They even have members who know the coordinates of certain primitive islands! Praise be to Mr. The Fool! Audrey lost her " Spectator " mode, her lips forming a beautiful curve.
A primitive island? Klein was taken aback at first, then remembered a page of Roselle's Diary he had seen before, the one where the Great Emperor cosplayed as One Piece!
He and his " Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse " discovered an unnamed island in the unsafe waters of the Sonia Sea, where many extraordinary creatures lived.
Is this what they call a primitive island? What a pity, the Emperor didn't leave the coordinates in that page of the diary. Hmm, maybe there are later entries, but so far, I haven't received any consecutive entries... Klein thought with a mixture of regret and anticipation.
As for " The Sun " Derrick, he was already bewildered by terms like the Sonia Sea, the Raging Sea, the Sonia Sea, and the Primitive Island.
He increasingly felt that he belonged to a different world from "Miss Justice " and "Mr. The Hanged Man ".
After a few seconds, Audrey asked in confusion:
"With the Rainbow Salamander nearing extinction, does that mean the ' Spectator ' pathway will soon be cut off?"
"No, there must be alternative materials. The Hanged Man," Alger replied with great certainty.
"Are there any alternative materials?" Audrey asked, her eyes lighting up.
Alger shook his head, replying with a knowing look:
"I don't know, perhaps the people in the Psychology Alchemists know."
"Then why are you so sure there are alternative materials?" Audrey asked, both bewildered and puzzled.
Alger smiled and said:
"You'll find out in the future, or can you pay a fee now to obtain this information?"
"Then I'll wait a bit." Audrey puffed out her cheeks, silently exhaled, and thus gave up the idea of asking Mr. " The Fool."
Even if she knew, it wouldn't be of any use for now... The " The Hanged Man " would definitely demand that things related to " Admiral Hurricane " be handled carefully... She suddenly wanted to praise her own Wisdom.
But what she didn't expect was that Mr. The Fool was very disappointed.
Klein was quite curious about the secret hidden in Alger's words, but unfortunately, "Miss Justice," who had always been in the best assist position, did not choose to make a trade.
Regardless of how the two made their transaction, as long as they remained above the Gray Fog, the contents could not be hidden from his master!
Hmm, the Rainbow Salamander is nearly extinct, yet the Psychology Alchemists still provides a recipe containing it without offering the names of any alternative ingredients... Does this mean the Psychology Alchemists possesses the coordinates of certain primitive islands? Or is it cooperating with a force that possesses the coordinates of certain primitive islands? Klein suddenly realized.
After the transaction was completed, he looked around, then gazed at the " The Sun," and asked in a calm tone:
Does City of Silver still believe in gods?
Klein is currently only a formal member of the Nighthawks and cannot access more in-depth occult knowledge, including "sacrifice rituals." Therefore, in order to verify whether his ideas of "sacrifice" and "gift" can enable this strange space above the Gray Fog to have the function of exchanging material, he, who is already Sequence 8, plans to learn something similar from elsewhere as soon as possible.
After much deliberation, he came up with three methods: First, he could consult Daly, a " Spirit Guide " who was also skilled in Ritualistic Magic and held the rank of deacon, but this would easily arouse her suspicion, so he could only wait patiently for an opportunity; second, he could ask Mr. Azik, but Klein could not guarantee that the other party had remembered this knowledge; third, he could inquire from the " The Sun " from City of Silver in a roundabout way.
As for how to take a roundabout approach, Klein already had a plan, and it would also effectively maintain his image.
The things he asks all involve deities!
Derrick replied in a respectful tone:
"We still believe in the Lord Who Created Everything, the Omniscient and Omnipotent God."
