Neither... " The Hermit " Cattleya pondered " The Fool's" answer, suddenly finding herself somewhat confused about the true meaning of the question from before. (Mobile version)
She originally thought that the destination of Emperor Roselle's mind and spirit must involve philosophical or mystical factors. For example, "that island" might refer to the divine kingdom of the god he believed in, and "the depths of the Starry Sky " might imply " the Astral World," symbolizing that Emperor Roselle only believed in his own superego and aimed directly at the throne of God. However, Mr. The Fool said that none of these were true, which negated almost all possibilities and left no other answer in mind.
Perhaps the Queen's question wasn't what I understood, but Mr. The Fool's answer pointed to something else... Whether I could understand it or not was unimportant; I was merely a tool in their communication... Cattleya sighed inwardly and bowed sincerely:
Thank you for your answer.
The other members of the Tarot Club were even more bewildered by this question and answer. Although they knew the background and could understand the specific meaning of the spiritual home, they could not connect it with "island" or "deep in the Starry Sky ". So they had their own interpretations and guesses, but they felt that they were far from the correct answer.
In Magician 'Fors subconscious mind, "that island" might be the place where Roselle buried his most beloved woman, and "the depths of the Starry Sky " meant that in his later years, the emperor turned his gaze to what he called "the sea of stars."
Audrey, who champions " Justice," argues that "that island" represents the island of self-awareness on a psychological level. The part at sea represents the conscious mind, the part at the bottom represents the subconscious mind, and the Starry Sky sky represents the Sky of Spirituality, the Astral World. Thus, the corresponding question becomes, "Was Emperor Roselle believing in himself, in a god, or in pure nature?"
From this perspective, Mr. The Fool's answer is quite strange, seemingly suggesting that Emperor Roselle believed in nothing, including himself.
I think I misunderstood... But if that's the case, the seemingly contradictory Emperor Roselle in Mr. The Fool's words actually hides some deeper secret... Or perhaps, in his later years, he saw through life, pondered the nature of the universe, the world, gods, and humanity, and became a pessimist and nihilist? Audrey thought about it with great interest, as if she were exercising her own abilities.
The Hanged Man 'Alger ideas were similar to those of the Hermit the Moon Cattleya. Emlyn considered it for a while, but finding himself clueless, he decisively gave up speculating. Derrick the Sun had no interest in Emperor Roselle, but did not break the silence, repeatedly thinking about what they would be discussing later.
Finally, the " The Fool " shrouded in Gray Fog chuckled softly and said:
"You may begin."
" The Hanged Man " Alger immediately looked towards the "world" Gehrman Sparrow at the very bottom of the bronze table, and carefully chose his words:
"Sorry, your magical item may have to wait a while."
Before the other party could speak, he quickly gave an explanation:
"That ' Artisan ' has strangely contracted an illness, and suspicious snoops have appeared around him, causing delays. I'll go there personally to see if I can resolve his troubles and help him recover as soon as possible, so we can try to create the magical item you need within the next two weeks."
He spoke very sincerely, expressing his apology and concern, but in his actual description, he subtly shifted all the blame onto the " Artisan," as if saying to the "world," "If you're really dissatisfied, I'll help you teach that person a lesson. If that's not enough, I can even give you a specific address so you can come to my door in person."
That " Artisan " is in trouble... Mr. " The Hanged Man " still values him quite a bit, huh? Unofficial " Artisan," or rather, those willing to accept orders from unknown sources, are extremely rare. If we can keep this one, we should try our best to keep him... Klein pondered for a moment, then had the dummy "World" respond hoarsely:
"I agree to this postponement, but there won't be a next time."
He spoke calmly, yet Alger, the " The Hanged Man," was startled, as if sensing the murderous intent emanating from "The World," Gehrman Sparrow.
"Thank you for your understanding," he said calmly.
Seeing this, the " The Hermit " Cattleya, who had been eavesdropping on the two's conversation, looked at the " The Hanged Man," slightly curled the corners of her lips, adjusted her glasses, and took the initiative to speak:
"If you can't solve that problem, I can help."
In her view, if there weren't any major problems, it could even be done for free, since it meant that she could bypass the " The Hanged Man " and establish direct contact with the " Artisan."
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," could not possibly misunderstand the true intentions of the pirate general, the " The Hermit." He sensed the powerful aggression the other man was displaying, which put him under considerable pressure. He paused, then calmly replied:
"Then I'll thank you for your kindness on his behalf."
On the one hand, he demonstrated his close relationship with the " Artisan," and on the other hand, he did not directly reject the idea, leaving himself a way out Gehrman Sparrow, sacrificing some interests was not unacceptable.
" The Hermit " Cattleya didn't dwell on that matter, but instead looked at "The World" Gehrman Sparrow and said:
Are you satisfied with that intelligence report from West Balam?
She had already gathered and organized the information about West Balam that Gehrman Sparrow, and delivered it to him through that strange messenger.
She was filled with fear of Mr. The Fool and would rather not disturb his presence than do so by any other means.
"It cost me a full 300 pounds. If it's not up to standard, I'll return it on the spot!" Klein muttered, prompting "Hmm" from "The World" Gehrman Sparrow in response.
Then, the mannequin's gaze fell upon the " Magician " lady.
Fors immediately felt uneasy, like a mouse being watched by a cat, and couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong again.
Could it be that he overheard my description—no, my slander— of Dawn Dantès? Or perhaps he's unhappy that I didn't refund him? Fors, not considering that the previous bodyguard assignment had been over for many days, asked somewhat nervously:
"Mr. World, is there anything I can help you with?"
"The World," Gehrman Sparrow nodded and said:
"A commission."
"The most important thing about obtaining information about the Calderón City in the Spirit World from the Abraham Family is its location."
Calderón City... Why did "the World" suddenly start searching for this mysterious Spirit World city? Was this Mr. The Fool's instruction? Is this a new part of His resurrection plan? " The Hermit " Cattleya, who had some knowledge of Calderón City, was quite taken aback at this moment.
The other members of the Tarot Club, including " The Magician " Fors, were unsure which city "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was looking for, and could only remain silent. Among them, " The Moon " Emlyn vaguely felt that he had heard of it somewhere before, but could not recall the specific details.
Three or four seconds later, " Magician " Fors managed a smile:
"No problem, I'll inquire for you."
"How much compensation do you need, world?" Gehrman Sparrow asked in a flat tone.
£1000! No, £500, no, bodyguard fees have to be deducted... " The Magician " Fors's mind raced, and he finally quoted:
350 pounds.
"Very cheap. Besides the Seven Lights of the Spirit World, most detailed information about Calderón City is only available to the Abraham Family... Hmm, for Miss ' Magician,' it's just asking her teacher, so it's simple and convenient. No wonder the price isn't high..." Klein was initially surprised, then understood, and had the dummy "World" nod slightly.
"Make a deal."
Audrey, who witnessed the Justice, noticed something interesting:
Miss Magician seems to be terrified of Mr. World, to the point of having a conditioned reflex!
She had met Dawn Dantès before, but didn't know it was Gehrman Sparrow, and discovered something terrible? Hmm, she'd arranged to meet Hugh and her friend at Glaint's this week to see if she could find out anything... Audrey nodded almost imperceptibly, lost in thought.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do in the "world," " The Moon " Emlyn turned his head slightly anxiously to look at the " The Sun ":
"Have the Beyonder Characteristic of the Sequence 5 artificial Vampire been acquired?"
"I haven't accumulated enough merit points yet, the Sun." This time, Derrick wasn't ashamed; instead, he felt that Mr. " The Moon " was too impatient. How could one accumulate enough merit points for Sequence 5 Beyonder Characteristic Ability so easily?
Emlyn, the " The Moon," turned his head away dejectedly, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Miss " Magician ":
"There are clues about the cursed objects and residual Spirituality of the Ancient Evil Spirit; I'm waiting for the specifics."
"This might not be giving you the item directly, but rather providing information about where Ancient Evil Spirit haunt near Backlund."
At this point, Emlyn thought for a moment and said:
"300 pounds."
In other words, I need to hunt down that Ancient Evil Spirit myself? In various mystical tales, it's a formidable Monster... After hearing Mr. " The Moon's" words, Fors's first reaction was to feel troubled, and his second was to entrust the hunting mission to Mr. "World," who would surely be able to complete it quickly and smoothly!
But considering that hiring "Mr. World" would definitely cost far more than the value of the Ancient Evil Spirit, she thought it would be better to try it herself.
Once Hugh becomes the " Interrogator," the two of them working together should greatly increase their chances of success... Besides, I also have " Lemano's Travel Notes," which contains transcribed Demigod- level abilities like " Tornado " and " Angel's Embrace," as well as many other unique and extraordinary powers that, below the High-Sequence, are practically divine artifacts... Uh, I don't have much practical combat experience; most of the time I just run away. This is an opportunity... " The Magician " Fors quickly made a decision and said to " The Moon " Emlyn:
"Make a deal."
After confirming a few other things, the transaction was concluded. Klein then had "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, look around before " The Hanged Man " could do anything else and say:
"My preliminary investigation into the Caron suicide case in Backlund has yielded results."
