Cheek? Could it be that the " Primordial Demoness " was a man before? Klein almost reached up to pinch his own chin.
He once speculated that the existence of the evil god " Primordial Demoness " was the reason why the " Assassin " pathway would mutate into a female and become fixed starting from Sequence 7. However, Roselle's diary revealed that " Primordial Demoness " may have originally been male as well.
This illustrates two points: first, the " Primordial Demoness " was not a born deity, but ascended to Sequence 0 through Potion; second, the pure Yin transformation along this path is inherent in Beyonder Characteristic.
Roselle had once speculated on the truth of the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Conservation, suspecting that all Beyonder Characteristic originated from and could only originate from the Original Creator, and therefore would not increase, with a fixed total... If this were true, would it mean that the Lord Who Created Everything encompasses everything, yin, yang, and neutral as one... and that the " Witch " pathway is a pure representation of yin? Of course, that ancient book might indeed be fake... Roselle's Diary today contains a lot of information... In a flash of thought, Klein made the diary disappear from his hands.
"You may begin," he said with a smile to " Justice," " The Sun," and the others.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," immediately looked towards the "world":
"Your ' Werewolf ' Beyonder Characteristic has been sold. A Artisan paid 1200 pounds for it, and according to the agreement, I will receive 200 pounds of it."
"Also, I've found a clue to the value of Naga hair from the Deep-sea Naga. It's 100 pounds per strand, and you need five in total. If you have no questions about this deal, I'll complete it as soon as possible."
Klein promised a higher percentage of the profits regarding the " Werewolf's " Beyonder Characteristic because he knew that the Hanged Man's efforts and risks far exceeded those of the Vampire Emlyn White.
At this moment, after a brief moment's thought, he responded by controlling the "world":
"No problem, just give me five Deep-sea Naga hair and 500 pounds in cash as soon as possible."
That leaves only the characteristics of the Human-skinned Shadow. My gold pounds have increased to 1235 pounds, but the two are still not enough. If I don't want to wait for the " Machinery Hivemind " to explore the Amon Family tomb, I need another 500 to 1000 pounds to buy it directly when I encounter it... Klein subconsciously thought about what other items or knowledge he could exchange for money.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party to the transaction has the ability to pay the reward.
Upon hearing this, " Justice " Audrey raised her hand slightly and said without any concealment:
"I am seeking three materials: a pair of Mirror Dragon eyes, 50 milliliters of its blood, and the fruit of the Elder Tree."
"Miss Justice " has obtained the formula for the " Psychiatrist " Potion... Klein made a quick judgment, and " The Hanged Man " reached a similar conclusion.
"... I will write to my teacher and hope he has one of these materials," Fors thought for a moment and said.
" The Sun," Derrick nodded in agreement.
"I'll keep an eye out for that too. Corrosion Mirror Dragon are not uncommon, as are the Elder Tree. Um, in City of Silver, there's also Beyonder Characteristic left behind by the ' Psychoanalyst,' but it's difficult to trade and easily arouses suspicion."
" Psychoanalyst " is the ancient term for " Psychiatrist ".
Their conversation reached Klein's ears, and he immediately Manipulation "the world," causing Mr. Dummy to speak in a somber, hoarse voice:
"I'll ask around in my circle. Oh, and keep helping me find out the characteristics of the Human-skinned Shadow."
"Alright." " Justice " Audrey turned confidently to look at the person opposite her. "' The Hanged Man,' I'll also keep an eye out for the ' Wind-blessed ' Potion recipe you need."
She has joined the " Psychology Alchemists," backed by a Concealment organization where many materials may no longer be scarce, and can be obtained as long as the right price is paid.
" The Magician " Fors repeated:
I will write to my teacher to ask.
Witnessing this development, Klein felt quite gratified. After a long period of effort, the Tarot Club had finally opened up two major channels: the " Psychology Alchemists " and the Abraham Family. Many things would become simpler.
"World" chuckled softly.
"Your answers give me hope, but you must also be careful to protect yourselves and proceed in a way that avoids arousing suspicion."
"Mr. World, you rarely talk so much," Audrey replied with a slight smile.
... He got a little carried away and forgot about "The World's" original character design... Klein quickly made amends, prompting "The World" to chuckle in a low voice:
"You have become valuable enough that I hope similar deals will continue for a very long time to come, which is why I'm reminding you of this."
"Thank you," Audrey said gracefully.
At this moment, " The Sun " Derrick hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'll give it a try. I've completed several patrol missions recently without any issues."
"Very good..." Klein thought to himself, silencing the "world."
After a brief silence, Alger the Hanged Man looked thoughtfully at Miss Justice:
"I want to know the details of Duke Negan's assassination. What kind of payment do you want?"
Why are you asking me? As someone closely connected to the Church of Storms, shouldn't you already have a full understanding of the details of this case? Audrey was taken aback at first, but then she understood Mr. " The Hanged Man's" intention.
He wanted to ask about the organization or force that drove the " Apostle of Desire," but he didn't want to directly ask Mr. " The Fool," as that would be too abrupt and seem like an interrogation. So, he went around in circles, using my question to open the conversation and subtly shifting the focus to what he wanted to know... He knew I was a noble lady and should be concerned about the assassination of Duke Negan, so he wasn't worried I wouldn't be able to answer... Mr. " The Hanged Man " was truly shrewd... " Justice " Audrey said with a slight smile:
"No, no payment is required. Isn't the principle of our Tarot Club to exchange common-sense information about our respective areas for free?"
Only in this way can our Tarot Club grow and thrive rapidly! She thought to herself with a strong sense of ownership.
"Your words shame me." Alger, the " The Hanged Man," paused for two seconds, then placed his hand on his chest and leaned slightly forward.
... Klein, the " The Fool " shrouded in thick Gray Fog, chuckled inwardly.
Audrey pursed her lips, carefully choosing her words before speaking:
"The Apostle of Desire, taking advantage of a special setting and his ability to ignite intense emotions and desires, carried out the assassination of Duke Negan. At the cost of serious injury, he successfully broke through the encirclement and infiltrated the sewers."
"By the time the ' Nighthawks ' caught up with him, he was already dead. The chivalrous thief ' Black Emperor ' was also at the scene. This man wasn't there to silence witnesses; his target was the organization that had commissioned the ' Apostle of Desire.'"
"That organization?" Just as the " The Hanged Man " muttered to himself in confusion, " The Fool " Klein, at the head of the bronze table, silently praised "Miss Justice," then glanced at her and casually reminded her:
"Do not mention the organization's name outside of official channels, and do not write it down."
"Why?" Audrey blurted out, quite taken aback.
Klein leaned back in his chair and replied calmly:
"Every word spoken will be known."
Every word spoken will be known... " Justice " Audrey subconsciously looked at Mr. " The Fool," only to feel that his blurry eyes, hidden in the Gray Fog, seemed to be emphasizing something.
"Mr. The Fool " means that as long as one is not in His divine kingdom, not speaking to Him, and mentioning or writing the name " Hermits of Fate," they will sense it through some means or object... That should be the meaning... What an extremely Concealment and prestigious organization! In some ways, even more terrifying than the Church of the Seven Gods... And "Mr. The Fool," and our Tarot Club, are tracking their trail... Audrey felt she suddenly understood many things, and immediately straightened her back and said:
"I will obey your orders."
Every word spoken will be known... A Concealment organization whose name cannot even be mentioned? A powerful organization I know nothing about? Is this the force behind the " Apostle of Desire "? Is Mr. The Fool sending his Blessed to find them? The higher levels of this world are indeed more complex than I imagined, with more secrets that are impossible to fathom... The Hanged Man, Alger, nodded almost imperceptibly, his heart filled with shock and excitement.
At that moment, he had an impulse to pay a fee to obtain the name of that organization from Mr. The Fool.
But after careful consideration, he felt it wasn't necessary. Although understanding the situation at higher levels would help him improve his future plans and play an important role in certain situations, he was currently only at the bottom of the Mid-Sequence and had virtually no chance of getting involved with anything related to that mysterious organization. His more pressing need right now was for the " Wind-blessed " formula and materials, and he had to accumulate enough wealth for that.
Once he's successfully promoted, he'll find an opportunity to consult Mr. The Fool... Alger the Hanged Man made a note of this.
" Magician " Fors listened with a slight sense of confusion. What " Apostle of Desire " and what "every word spoken will be known" were completely different from what she had learned in the newspaper.
There are indeed many secrets and undercurrents behind the assassination of a duke... It's a pity that I can't write down the name of that organization, otherwise using it as the villain in a later novel would definitely be a classic... I still owe ten pages of the diary, and I haven't bought the Spirit Eater's stomach yet. There's no need to spend money to learn about such high-level things for now... Uh, the Concealment and knowledge circulating in the Tarot Club are ten times more than Mr. A's gathering, or even more! Fors suppressed the curiosity of a Author.
As for " The Sun " Derrick, since he didn't know who the Duke Negan was, it didn't matter who assassinated him.
He sat silently and reservedly, as quiet as if he were teaching a class.
After the " Hermits of Fate " matter came to a close, " The Magician " Fors looked around and tentatively asked:
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a way to solve the problem of too many Beyonder Characteristic accumulating at the same level?"
