Upon hearing Mr. The Moon's question, " The Magician " Fors almost blurted out, "I understand! I understand perfectly! I just don't quite grasp the details of the process."
However, she managed to control her mouth in time, glancing with slight fear at Mr. "World" at the very bottom of the bronze table.
Almost simultaneously, Alger the Hanged Man, Audrey the Justice, and the Hermit the Cattleya, combining their previous deductions, vaguely guessed that the serious incident in the East Borough Backlund was the assassination of the Aurora Order's messenger, assassinated by "The World"!
Since she wasn't part of the " Spectator " and couldn't glean the answer from his eyes, Fors could only force a smile at " the Moon," Emlyn:
I cannot answer you what exactly it is.
"All I know is that Demigod- level extraordinary ability appeared in the Storm Domain at that time, which made the Church of Storms take it very seriously."
She didn't dare to tell the whole story on behalf of "Mr. World," but simply described what she had seen.
In her opinion, if Mr. "World" was willing to reveal this matter, she would definitely add to it.
" Demigod- level extraordinary ability in the Storm Domain?" Audrey and the others were taken Justice, instinctively doubting whether their earlier guess was correct.
They all previously believed that " Lemano's Travel Notes " was an item formed after the death of the Aurora Order's envoy, so it was impossible for "The World" to Record Demigod- level abilities with the help of " The Fool " before assassinating him!
The serious incident involving extraordinary beings in the East Borough has nothing to do with Mr. "World"? No, Fors's glance just now was enough to prove that it was Mr. "World" who orchestrated it! But why would Demigod- level extraordinary ability appear in the Storm Domain? One possibility is that " Lemano's Travel Notes " was not the reward of this assassination attempt and originally belonged to Fors. Another possibility is that a cardinal of the Church of Storms or Beyonder possessing the corresponding Sealed Artifact launched the attack...
If it's the former, the fact that Mr. "World" could use his extraordinary Demigod- level abilities indicates that the divine messenger was extremely powerful and had a Saint behind him. If it's the latter, the fact that Mr. "World" could escape unscathed from such an attack is enough to demonstrate his terrifying power...
Of course, it's possible he deliberately led the Church of Storms members to encounter the Aurora Order's messenger, taking advantage of the chaos of Demigod- level battle to efficiently carry out the assassination... Based on the various details she observed, " Justice " Audrey had several guesses, and each guess pointed to the same thing:
"World" possesses strength, intelligence, support, and the ability to act, making it one of the top Sequence 5 below the Demigod!
How terrifying! No wonder he's Blessed of " The Fool "... Once we get to a place with a church, I should be able to figure out the details of this matter... Alger the Hanged Man also made a preliminary judgment, and sighed inwardly. He could only comfort himself that with such a helper, exploring that primitive island would be much easier.
As for " The Hermit " Cattleya, her thoughts were similar to " Justice " Audrey's, and she planned to ask the " Mystery Queen " about the situation. The owner of the " Dawn " had previously revealed in a letter that she was currently staying in Backlund.
" Demigod- level extraordinary ability in the Storm Domain... the Moon," Emlyn repeated Miss " Magician's" words with a slight headache.
Although he preferred staying at home and disliked going out, living in a big city and having to go to the hospital to get blood from time to time, he possessed some common sense. In addition, with the reminders and teachings of his elders, he actually had a deep enough understanding of official organizations such as " the Mandated Punishers," " the Nighthawks," and " the Machinery Hivemind," and understood the impact such a serious incident would have on the surrounding area.
Without proper disguise, infiltrating the East Borough like this might result in being tackled and captured by the " Mandated Punishers " before even reaching the target... Although my affiliation with the Church of the Mother Goddess would prevent me from being imprisoned underground or becoming a researcher of Sealed Artifact, it would still mean the mission's failure, and I might even have " Lemano's Travel Notes " taken away... At this stage, venturing into the sewers is even more dangerous, as who knows how many official Beyonder are lurking there... Emlyn suddenly realized that the seemingly easy mission had become quite difficult.
He quickly made a decision: to act between dusk and midnight. During this time, the lower-class residents of the East Borough would gradually return from their workplaces. Although it was dark, the streets would be bustling. Even if the number of " Mandated Punishers " were ten times greater, it would be impossible to conduct strict surveillance and identify every suspicious person under such circumstances.
The next key point is to plan the operation well, and try to eliminate those two artificial Vampire with minimal disturbance... Hmm, we need to consider the possibility of an intense battle that cannot be concealed... Wait, "Miss Magician " just mentioned that " Lemano's Travel Notes " contains the extraordinary ability of " Teleportation "... Problem solved!" " The Moon " Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled softly:
"I'll be careful."
He said this very calmly, with great confidence, as if everything was under control.
Ha, Emlyn's initial hesitation followed by relaxation is 90% because he was thinking of the " Traveler's Door " in " Lemano's Travel Notes "... If I hadn't drawn " Travel," I would definitely have added a condition: no one could touch that page of the magic book before "World" Gehrman Sparrow used it... Klein chuckled inwardly but didn't speak.
For him, since there was only one " Traveler's Door " in " Lemano's Travel Notes," the journey to and from the primitive island would inevitably involve the use of " Creeping Hunger." Since that was the case, he might as well make the most of the gloves. In any case, they were going to be fed to a "death row inmate" anyway, so he couldn't waste them.
"Anyway, I warned you, Magician." Fors said no more, only hoping that Mr. " The Moon " would have a smooth journey.
At this moment, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," turned his head and looked at the little " The Sun " beside him:
"Are you still in City of Silver?"
"Yes, my recent tasks are to familiarize myself with the abilities and patrol the surrounding area, the Sun," Derrick replied without any hesitation.
Alger pondered for a moment and said:
"Has that ' Shepherd ' elder not come to see you recently?"
"No," Derrick paused, then said, "' The Council of Six ' seems to be busy with matters concerning the former chief's mausoleum, but I don't have the authority to know the specifics."
Klein had heard Little " The Sun " mention the former chief of City of Silver, who said that he built a mausoleum deep underground and moved in, and never came out again, seemingly having failed to switch to Sequence 3 of the " Death " pathway.
I don't know what happened inside the mausoleum, but my Spirituality intuition tells me that danger lurks within... Before Klein could speak, " The Hanged Man " Alger said:
"You need to be careful about this. Researching the former chief's tomb at this crucial stage won't be simple; it could put you in danger."
"Yes, the Sun," Derrick nodded vigorously, "I'll try my best to find out the specifics."
The exchange continued, and since everyone hadn't encountered many things this week, this segment quickly came to an end. The members of the Tarot Club began to teach " The Sun " the language of external mysticism and learn some ancient myths from him.
During this process, " Justice " Audrey felt slightly disappointed and frustrated because she hadn't bought anything or shared anything at the party, and her participation seemed insufficient.
Sigh... My life has been too peaceful and stable, there's nothing to share... But that's normal. As the daughter of the Earl of East Chester, one of the kingdom's top three bankers, if I were to frequently encounter extraordinary events and have every week filled with thrills and excitement, it could only mean that the existing social stratification and political structure are insufficient to support the order of a supernatural world, and there will inevitably be fundamental and disruptive changes... Hmm, once I return to Backlund and increase my contact with the Psychology Alchemists, this situation will improve... Audrey quickly became optimistic, stood up, bowed to Mr. " The Fool " and took her leave.
In the past six months, spurred on by Susie, she has read a lot of useful books, and her depth and maturity of thinking have improved significantly compared to before.
16 Böklund Street, North Borough Backlund.
After finishing his Tarot Club, Klein walked to the balcony attached to his bedroom and looked out at the lush green surroundings.
"With Miss ' The Magician's' attempt to rent out ' Lemano's Travel Notes,' there will definitely be another item frequently traded at Tarot Club. Hehe, they might not be aware of this yet, or have considered that their extraordinary abilities could also be sold! As rentals increase, people will inevitably ask during transactions who can help Record certain abilities... At that time, with my numerous magical items, I can reliably provide extraordinary abilities in multiple fields..."
"It won't be too expensive, but it's durable and there's always a demand for it."
"Heh, I wonder who will be the first to muster the courage to ask ' The Fool ' for help, hoping to Record Demigod- level abilities... This requires an equal exchange, a sufficient price must be paid... If no one dares to take this step, fearing to blaspheme the gods, I can have 'The World' set an example. After all, Mr. ' The Fool ' has been very approachable and casual from the beginning; as long as no mistakes are made, he might agree to similar transactions..."
"Given the previous example of punishing the ' The Hermit ' lady, I believe no one will look down on the ' The Fool ' because of this. They will only feel honored, delighted, and apprehensive..." Klein's thoughts were racing as he considered the Tarot Club's affairs, filled with anticipation for the extraordinary ability transactions to come.
Just then, he heard a knocking sound at the door.
"Please come in," Dawn Dantès graying, as he turned and spoke.
Turning the handle, the door opened, and Walter, the butler wearing white gloves, entered, respectfully saying:
"Sir, Mrs. Mary from the ' Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Commission ' has come to visit you."
Do you want to see her?
Mary Short, the major shareholder of the Coim Company, the one who once asked me to investigate her ex-husband's affair? What's she doing here? Could it be that she's taken a fancy to Dawn Dantès...? Klein nodded with a slight smile, a hint of doubt in his voice.
"It's almost afternoon tea time, let's start a little earlier."
"Yes, I will invite Mary. Mary to the living room on the second floor." Walter understood his employer's meaning without any difficulty.
Klein nodded slightly, said nothing more, and with the help of his personal valet Richardson, put on his coat and went downstairs to the second floor.
Soon, he met Mrs. Mary, who had high cheekbones, in the living room.
The lady wore a dark blue dress and elegant, understated jewelry, appearing more tasteful and sophisticated than last year.
"Good afternoon, madam. I've been wanting to visit you sometime and hear about what happened during your investigation of air pollution in Backlund," Klein said, offering his opinion in a polite manner.
Mary responded with a smile:
"Unfortunately, I haven't waited for it yet."
After exchanging a few pleasantries about the recent weather, Klein, sitting on the single sofa, picked up his bone china teacup and said:
"Madam, you seem to be having some trouble?"
He could tell that Mary was hesitating and deliberating.
Mary said with a half-smile and a half-sigh:
I have heard of your insight and Wisdom, and I believe you are a gentleman with excellent vision.
"So, are you interested in acquiring some shares in Coim Company?"
"Why? Madam, are you having any difficulties?" Klein asked calmly in return.
Mary shook her head:
"Someone else wants to sell it."
P. S.: Yesterday, Uncle Chang told me that I was still 3,000 words short of 60,000 words, which would give everyone a 6% return. He hoped I could add an extra chapter today to make up for last month's number one ranking. However, since I'm going out today, updating three chapters would mean I'd run out of drafts, and I wouldn't be able to update two chapters on time tomorrow, which would make everyone wait anxiously. So, at first, I could only apologize and refuse. But then I thought of something. We've updated early before, no, it's not the first or second time. Today is fine too! This way, I can reach 60,000 words, give everyone the return, and I won't have to worry about running out of drafts.
Okay, this is an early update for tomorrow's noon chapter. There's only one chapter left tomorrow, still at 7 PM, that won't change. I need to write my drafts tomorrow morning... By the way, please vote for me again, the double votes end in an hour and a half~
