As a young man from the Earth's Internet age, Klein quickly figured out what Miss " Magician " wanted to do, how she planned to do it, and what she relied on.
Isn't this the sharing economy? With the Tarot Club and " The Fool " existing, the inherent technical limitations are no longer a problem... Miss " Magician " is usually lazy and unremarkable, but I didn't expect her to have such a keen intuition in this area... Well, it also stems from my request to rent the magic book... In any case, being able to quickly gain Spirit Intuition and establish a "business model" is quite good... Klein deliberately let "World" Gehrman Sparrow consider for a few seconds before saying:
"It might be necessary this weekend and next week."
He estimated the time based on the time it would take for Mr. " The Hanged Man " to return from the " Abyss Maelstrom " to the edge of the Rorsted Sea, and allowed the other party time to initially stabilize his Spirituality and replenish his supplies.
They will then join forces to explore the pristine island teeming with extraordinary creatures.
Upon hearing this, " Magician " Fors nodded hurriedly and said:
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements so it won't delay your use."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mr. The Fool to witness the lease agreement. After receiving a yes, she signaled that the private conversation was over.
Then, she materialized " Lemano's Travel Notes," looked around, and said:
"Everyone, I have a magical item here."
"It has 38 pages, each page helps the user Record the extraordinary abilities they have witnessed and release them when needed, although they are weaker than the original..."
"Each page can be Record repeatedly, but each Record can only be used once... Among them, three pages can be used for Demigod- level extraordinary abilities, but the probability of successfully Record is very low; it might not happen even once in ten attempts..."
Fors briefly explained the characteristics and negative effects of the " Lemano's Travel Notes," which made the eyes of " Justice " Audrey and the others gradually brighten.
Having long since ceased to be novices in the realms of mysticism and the extraordinary, they readily discerned the value of the Travel journal in the " Magician's " hands, regarding it as Demigod without needing to communicate.
This is somewhat similar to " The Shepherd " and " The Creeping Hunger," both of which allow the use of various extraordinary abilities through multiple means, but without such significant negative effects, and also offer the opportunity to Record the abilities of Demigod... drawing one's own blood... " Justice " Audrey thought to herself, and suddenly withdrew her hand in fear.
As the daughter of a noble family, she had hardly ever been injured growing up, so she had a strong fear of pain caused by the unknown.
Taking advantage of Fors' pause, she raised her hand slightly and said:
"Miss Magician, how much money would you like to exchange it for?"
Audrey believed that her father, Earl Hall, would also recognize the value of the " Lemano's Travel Notes " and would not refuse to reimburse her, so she intended to fully satisfy Fors's request.
She must be short of money lately, otherwise she wouldn't be selling such an important and useful magical item... Audrey thought to herself with a touch of sympathy, considering whether she should offer a higher price.
Damn it... why couldn't I wait until I got back from that primitive island to sell it...? " The Hanged Man " Alger also had a strong interest in " Lemano's Travel Notes," but he simply didn't have the money or materials to buy this magical item.
£1,300 is a fortune that an average person might not be able to accumulate in ten or twenty years, but it's still a far cry from something like the " Lemano's Travel Notes "!
It's worth at least £10,000, and if it encounters Beyonder with the support of a powerful force, selling it for over £30,000 wouldn't be a problem... Alger's gaze swept over the " Justice " lady who was inquiring about the price and the " The Hermit " Cattleya who was adjusting her glasses and about to join the bidding. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, not believing that this transaction would fail as he hoped, since it hadn't been sold by the time he returned from the original island.
"Miss Justice " is rich, " The Hermit " has a " Mystery Queen " and the " Moss Ascetic Order," they have no shortage of money and resources, sigh... " The Hanged Man " Alger slightly changed his posture, his gaze steadily fixed on the person opposite him.
Emlyn " The Moon " and Derrick " The Sun " were equally interested in " Lemano's Travel Notes," but only in that interest; they knew very well that they were not capable of making the corresponding exchange.
Upon hearing Miss Justice's question, Fors realized she had seemingly forgotten to mention the most crucial point, and quickly added:
No, it's not for sale, it's for rent.
"You may rent it briefly for a period of time when you need it, witnessed by Mr. ' The Fool '."
Rent it out? You can do that? At this moment, apart from " The Fool " Klein and " The Sun " Derrick, " The Hermit " Cattleya and the others were clearly stunned for a moment.
They undoubtedly knew what a rental transaction was, but they never imagined it could be applied to magical items, much less that it would appear in Tarot Club!
This seems quite feasible! It would be extremely useful for every member of the Tarot Club, and the cost would be minimal, easily affordable. Miss " The Magician " could accumulate a considerable fortune over time—no, most importantly, she could Record those extraordinary abilities. She could use this to gather different types and methods of extraordinary abilities, far more efficiently than trying to Record on her own! " The Hanged Man," Alger, quickly grasped the key point hidden in this rental deal, and with a surge of joy, asked:
How to rent it?
" Lemano's Travel Notes " corresponds to Sequence 6, normally priced around £5,000, but given its special nature, it's worth at least £10,000... " The Magician " Fors, having accumulated considerable experience in the Tarot Club, considered it for a moment and said:
"The basic rental fee is £300 per rental, with an additional £50 for each extra day. Upon return, the Travel notebook must contain two more pages of extraordinary abilities than when it was lent out. If it was lent out with only one blank page or no blank pages, simply fill in the entire notebook."
Two more pages don't mean two more types. In other words, you can freely use the extraordinary abilities in " Lemano's Travel Notes," but you'll need to fill them in at the end. They don't need to be the same type; only the page count matters.
£50 a day, £1500 a month... If I could, I could rent it forever... " Justice " Audrey did a simple calculation of the cost.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," listened with excitement and enthusiasm, but outwardly remained calm as he said:
"I plan to rent it for two days, but the exact price still needs to be discussed and adjusted based on the extraordinary abilities currently listed in this notebook."
He felt even more confident about exploring the pristine islands!
"When do you plan to rent it?" Fors asked happily, seeing that business had come in so quickly.
"I'll rent it for two days, between this weekend and next weekend. The exact dates are yet to be confirmed," Alger replied without hesitation.
" The Magician " Fors frowned immediately, and said somewhat timidly:
"It's been rented to Mr. 'World' for this period of time."
"Rented to the 'world'? When did this happen?" Alger the Hanged Man, looked at the bottom of the bronze table with slight astonishment.
He immediately realized that it was an agreement reached between "The World" and " The Magician " during their private conversation.
Why would such an agreement be reached? There was no need for Miss " Magician " to tell him about renting out magical items beforehand... Had they been in contact privately, had they made other deals? What kind of contact or deal could they have...? Hmm, Miss " Magician " previously commissioned someone to assassinate a messenger of the Aurora Order, and "The World" accepted the mission. That messenger's characteristic was Record other people's extraordinary abilities and using them only once. Heh, that matches " Lemano's Travel Notes "... Has "The World" succeeded? Miss " Magician " owed him a debt because of this, which she hadn't fully resolved, and now she's finally found a way to repay it in this way? Alger ruled out one possibility after another, finally feeling he had found the truth.
Before anyone had heard anything, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow had already easily hunted down an Aurora Order messenger, suspected to be Sequence 5 messenger!
This secretly alarmed Alger, the " The Hanged Man," because he was about to cooperate with "The World."
Fortunately, Mr. The Fool was there to witness... As Blessed, Gehrman Sparrow would not break the agreement made before the gods... Alger comforted himself for a moment and withdrew his gaze from the "world".
Meanwhile, " Justice " Audrey and " The Hermit " Cattleya, starting from the transactions between "The World" and " The Magician," thought of the Aurora Order's messenger and how his extraordinary abilities were similar to " Lemano's Travel Notes." Thus, they guessed, without considering the order of events, that "The World" might have already completed his mission, and that renting the magic book was part of that transaction.
" The Moon " Emlyn didn't think about these things, focusing instead on the fact that he couldn't lend money this weekend and next week.
In other words, can I borrow it for the first few days of this week? If this Travel helps, those two " The Moon Primordial " followers won't pose any threat to me... Emlyn glanced around, anxious inside, but outwardly spoke slowly:
"Can I rent today and tomorrow?"
"400 pounds plus two more pages of extraordinary abilities. The Magician," Fors quoted directly.
" The Moon," Emlyn nodded gently.
"Could you first give a brief overview of the extraordinary abilities that have already Record? If they're not of much use to me, I'd like to lower the price, because I still need to spend time Record."
" The Magician " Fors flipped through " Lemano's Travel Notes " and gave a vague introduction.
" Door Opening..." " Black Curtain "... " Falling Spell "... " Teleportation "... " Lightning Strike "... " Levitation "... "Flight"... " Wind Blade "... Huh, why are there so many extraordinary abilities related to the Storm domain? Did "The World" use this? Did he Record the extraordinary abilities corresponding to the Sea God from Mr. " The Fool "? When we get back to the place with the church, I need to investigate what has happened in Backlund recently. That divine messenger shouldn't have died without any warning... " The Hanged Man " Alger listened while developing an inquisitive mind.
