Rubbing his forehead, Klein was just about to attempt to split another Worm of Spirit when he suddenly saw Reinette Tinekerr, who was wearing a dark and complicated dress, walk out of the void and stand beside the desk.
In the mouth of one of Miss Messenger's heads was a neatly folded letter.
"Who's it from?" Klein asked casually.
Reinette Tinekerr's other three heads answered one after another:
"Mushroom …" "King …" "Superior …"
Mushroom King? Klein was taken aback for two seconds before realizing that it might be Frank Lee.
And Frank Lee's superior was Admiral of Stars Cattleya.
"Mushroom King refers to Frank Lee?" Klein reached out to receive the letter as he asked in confirmation.
The four blonde, red-eyed, and beautiful heads moved up and down with the help of their hair, as though they were nodding.
Miss Messenger even knows how to give people nicknames … That's not right. Frank isn't only good at mushrooms. His "domain" includes cows, wheat, fish, Rose Bishop … This is because Frank's mushroom experiments had a breakthrough. Did Miss Messenger see a ship full of mushrooms? Klein couldn't help but draw a gasp as he quickly unfolded the letter.
He was worried that it was Ma 'am Hermit's plea for help.
Of course, he wasn't in a rush either. This was because at the final juncture, an experienced pirate like Admiral of Stars would definitely choose to pray to Mr. Fool.
This letter was indeed from the Future's captain, Cattleya. On it was a succinct note:
It simply wrote: "… Queen has already confirmed the time and location. Wednesday night, eleven o 'clock. Usual place.
"… I'm not sure what you said to Frank Lee, but I can tell that he's been very excited recently. He's gotten that Artisan to do a lot of experiments and said that in another three to six months, he'll be able to produce in-progress results. He also said that if he has the Druid potion formula, he might be able to skip all the intermediate products and directly produce the final result. All I can say is that I wish you good luck.
"… I hope that all of this can end before the Artisan completely breaks down. He has already begun to repent of his faith in the Primordial Moon …"
Should I be happy that there will be progress in the City of Silver's food security, or should I be worried that something unexpected will happen? Klein rubbed his temples again and decided not to think about the matter. After all, Ma 'am Hermit, who was about to become a demigod, was watching over him. If anything unexpected happened, she would definitely seek help.
Phew … Having finally agreed on a meeting with Queen Mystic, he heaved a sigh of relief. He flicked his wrist, causing the letter to burst into scarlet flames.
After watching Miss Messenger leave, he was just about to continue separating the Worms of Spirit when he suddenly frowned. He felt that the ashes on the desk and in the trash can were abnormally glaring.
Subconsciously, Klein took out a tissue, wiped the surface of the desk, and then closed the lid of the trash can.
After doing all this, he looked at his slightly dirty hands, stood up, entered the bathroom, and turned on the faucet.
While he was cleaning, he saw the toilet bowl next to him from the corner of his eye, and his brows furrowed a little.
"I didn't clean enough today …" Klein whispered to himself and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, his powerful spiritual intuition quickly figured out the reason.
This was the aftereffect of using Death Knell!
As he had already become a demigod, his Spirit Body had undergone a qualitative change and possessed godhood. Therefore, the corresponding negative effects had been reduced by more than 90%. This time, what should've been a terrifying weakness of being afraid of dirt had turned into a trait of being a germaphobe.
Similarly, the duration of the weakness had been reduced from six hours to less than an hour. And the problem of Death Knell making him thirsty wasn't that obvious.
Thankfully … Klein heaved a sigh of relief and skillfully pulled out the toilet bowl brush beside him.
…
At eleven that night, above the gray fog, Justice, The Star, Judgment, Magicians, and The Hanging Man, who had participated in the punishment operation, appeared in the ancient and majestic palace due to Emlyn White's request.
"These are all the spoils of war." Emlyn threw the 3,000 pounds he had just sacrificed into the middle of the table and explained, "One of the mystical items is called the Oath of Rose. It's a pair of rings that allows the wearer to share their senses and thoughts within an ordinary city, no matter how far away they are. It's very valuable, but I only obtained one of the rings this time. No matter who it was given to, it would be very dangerous. Therefore, I handed it over to the upper echelons of the Sanguine and received 3,000 pounds in cash as a reward."
He originally wanted to use the 3,000 pounds as his spoils of war, but after some thought, he decided to sacrifice it above the gray fog as one of the options.
After a pause, Emlyn introduced the other items, explaining their positive and negative effects. He even made introductions and extensions. This knowledge stemmed from his interest in the history of the Sanguine, as well as Ernes Boyar's instructions under Father Utravsky's watchful gaze.
It's a little like he's showing off … Otherwise, with Mr. Moon's personality, he wouldn't have said so much in one go … Hmm, it's also because Mr. Fool isn't present and he's in a more relaxed state … Audrey was like a bystander, not taking the initiative to choose the spoils of war.
The Hanging Man Alger glanced at the spoils of war and turned to Emlyn.
"You've met the upper echelons of the Sanguine? Has the matter of hunting an important member of Rose School been confirmed? "
I've also made contact with that temperance faction member, but he wishes for this operation to be carried out after September. " Emlyn didn't hide anything, fully believing that Mr. The Hanging Man would provide useful insights.
Indeed, The Hanging Man Alger nodded.
"It has to be after September?
"This means that they're waiting for something that will greatly affect them …"
On the other side of the ancient palace, Klein, who was waiting for the gathering to end, had his heart stir when he heard that. He suspected that it had something to do with Miss Sharon's advancement.
According to what Miss Sharon said, she can attempt the demigod ritual in July … Could it be that this ritual will last for at least a month before it ends? If that's true, this is different from other pathways … Klein had a guess, but he wasn't sure.
"It's possible." Emlyn thought for a moment before agreeing with Mr. The Hanging Man's words.
Then, he surveyed the area and said with a smile,
"You can begin choosing."
Audrey had the Fate Siphon charm that Mr. World had promised her. Leonard had also received the corresponding rewards from Old Man Pallez. They appeared very calm and clear-headed when it came to the spoils of war that the Sanguine Viscount had "given" them. None of them spoke first as they politely waited for the others to choose first.
In addition, one of them had personally experienced a battle at the angel level, while the other had witnessed the horror of Amon's avatars. Furthermore, they had confirmed that Tarot hid immense power. It was inevitable that they were mentally exhausted.
Xio looked to the right and then to the opposite side. Seeing that everyone was being humble, she broke the silence.
"The part I'm in charge of is very simple. There's no need for me to take too much risk. Besides, Mr. Moon has already paid me 60 pounds in advance. I'll take the cash in this wallet."
As she spoke, she took out the handmade wallet and took out the notes inside. She quickly counted them and said,
She quickly counted and said, "335 pounds."
Emlyn surveyed the area and nodded when he saw that no one objected.
"Alright."
As for the handmade wallet, Xio threw it back to the middle of the table and returned it to Mr. Moon for him to deal with.
With Xio taking the lead, Magicians Fors said, "I only lent Leymano's Travels.
"I'm only borrowing Leymano's Travels. I'm not taking any risks. I'll take the Moon Paper Figurine …"
Compared to mystical items, such single-use Beyonder items had relatively lower value.
However, to a Magicians, even if she had the right to choose a mystical item, she wouldn't do so. This was because if she really needed the powers of the mystical items, she could spend money to hire a corresponding member to "Record." As for a single-use item like the Moon Paper Figurine that could withstand a fatal blow and a psychic piercing, there was no way to "Record." To a coward, this was definitely the first choice.
After saying that, she waited for a while. Seeing that no one objected, she placed the Moon Paper Figurine in front of her.
Emlyn then cast his gaze at Miss Justice. Leonard also extended his hand and smiled.
"Ladies first."
Audrey didn't decline as she scanned the items on the table and pointed at the diamond brooch.
She said with a faint smile, "I'll choose that."
She had heard Mr. Moon mention it before and knew that it was called the Alcohol Nemesis. It allowed the wearer to maintain their energy and clarity of mind, effectively resisting the influence of one's mind.
Thankfully, to be safe, I had first used Bribe — Charm. Furthermore, Ernes had just woken up from his dream and was in a semi-conscious state. Otherwise, I might not have been able to hypnotize him … This item is also useful to me. At the very least, I have an additional layer of protection when facing members of the higher ranks of Psychological Alchemy … I can usually not wear it, so I don't have to worry about the negative effects … Audrey retracted her gaze from the diamond brooch in satisfaction.
After she finished choosing, Emlyn didn't give The Star Leonard a chance to speak as he directly said, "That's right.
He directly said, "This Moon Ribbon is yours."
From his point of view, the Moon Ribbon was worth more than 5,000 pounds. It was definitely better than 3,000 pounds in cash.
Actually, I do want 3,000 pounds in cash … I'm going to buy the Word of the Sea cane next. Klein's discount price is 10,000 pounds … After spending this, I'll only have 650 pounds in savings … Leonard ultimately didn't reject it as he nodded.
"Alright."
After Emlyn distributed the spoils of war, he picked up the remaining 3,000 pounds in cash, split a stack, and pushed it to the side.
"Mr. The Hanging Man, this is your reward. 1,000 pounds."
"It should be called a consultant's fee." Without Mr. Fool around, the Magicians Fors also felt a lot more relaxed.
The Hanging Man Alger didn't stand on ceremony as he nodded slightly and pressed down on the stack of cash.
"The carriage driver's compensation will also be paid by me." Emlyn surveyed the area in a good mood.
…
Wednesday night, eleven o 'clock, at the south bank entrance of the Baekeland Bridge.
A figure quickly outlined itself in the dark night. He had one hand pressed down on his top hat, and the other was placed between the buttons of his suit.
He had black hair and brown eyes. His facial features were distinct, and his expression was cold. He was none other than the strongest adventurer, German Sparrow.
