Preorder a mystical item? The Hanging Man Alger was taken aback for a second before he realized what Miss Justice was talking about.
The limitations of his thinking were immediately opened, and he felt that there was room for him to make use of this matter.
In a sense, the Beyonder characteristic entrusted by World has already been sold. The item has a definite destination … I can simplify the process and make things easier and more beneficial to me. That is to say, there's no need for me to sell it to the Artisan. I should choose to commission it. This way, I don't have to worry about whether the characteristic will be sold or not. Not only can I receive a commission from World, but I can also obtain more profits from Miss Justice. The upfront cost I need to pay is only the commission fee. Of course, I have to consider the risk of the Artisan not keeping his promise …
Thoughts after thoughts surfaced in his mind, The Hanging Man Alger quickly weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.
"No problem. I'll handle this matter." He looked at Miss Justice and felt that she was emitting a golden glow that made it impossible to look straight at her.
Even after he joined the Church of the Storm and drifted on the sea for many years, he had never seen such a person anywhere else.
Many sea merchants were extravagant, and there were even more rich ones, but none of them really cared about money.
Miss Justice's financial situation has improved to such an extent? The Fool Klein jumped in fright as well.
For a moment, he wanted to urge her to pay the 2,000 pounds she owed his adorer as soon as possible, but considering that he had already promised Miss Justice to delay the repayment until February or March, he could only remain silent and remain motionless to prevent himself from destroying The Fool's image.
At the very least, the money for the Faceless Beyonder characteristic can be obtained quickly. The speed depends on how Mr. The Hanging Man contacts a particular Artisan, as well as the speed at which the Artisan creates the mystical item … Unfortunately, I can only rely on Mr. The Hanging Man to contact an Artisan for now. Otherwise, I can directly sell the characteristic to Miss Justice without paying a commission … With this in mind, Klein felt mixed emotions.
After finalizing a big deal, The Hanging Man Alger silently heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that his financial situation was slowly improving.
He thought for a few seconds and asked,
"Ladies and gentlemen, do any of you have a method or item to put everyone on a ship to sleep at the same time?"
The reason why Alger hadn't gone to the primitive island to hunt the Blue Shadow Falcons was because he hadn't thought of a way to leave the Blue Avenger without arousing suspicion. He also hadn't thought of a way to leave the Blue Avenger and the dozen sailors and crew members who belonged to the Church.
Let all the people on the ship fall into a deep sleep? The first thing that came to Klein's mind was the Biological Poison Bottle, but the effects of this thing couldn't be controlled at all. The scene would probably not be pleasant.
Right on the heels of that, he recalled the soul of the Nightmare in Creeping Hunger. Making people sleep and dragging them into dreams was a specialty of this Beyonder job.
But the problem is that there's no way for a Nightmare to make so many people enter a dream at the same time. It can only affect more than ten people. To satisfy Mr. The Hanging Man's requirements, one has to be at least a Sequence 5 of the corresponding pathway, or even a powerhouse at the demigod level … Klein dispelled the idea and didn't let World speak.
At the same time, Audrey, Magicians Fors, and Sun either shook their heads in response or answered with "no."
Emlyn thought for a moment and said, "I can help you ask around.
"I can help you ask around. Perhaps we Sanguine have mystical items with similar effects."
Always saying "we Sanguine" … In the future, I can try to convince them more from this angle … The Hanging Man Alger grasped something as he nodded with a smile.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Seeing that the transaction was coming to an end, Klein hurriedly got World to mention the latest requirements.
"Everyone, help me take note of the remnant spirituality of an ancient wraith and the eyes of a six-winged gargoyle."
Other than that, the supplementary ingredients weren't too difficult to purchase. He believed that there was no need to use the Tarot.
"Alright." Sun was the first to respond. Then, he added in embarrassment, "Mr. World, the method you want to remove the mental corruption in the Beyonder characteristic will still need some time. I should be able to advance to Sequence 7 very soon."
As he spoke, he looked to the side.
"Mr. The Hanging Man, once I return to the City of Silver, I'll compile a list of the common monsters in the surrounding area."
Everything that he owed others, every promise that he had made but had yet to fulfill, he kept it firmly in his heart. He felt that he couldn't sleep well enough.
"No problem," the gloomy World said indifferently.
Klein really wasn't in a rush. His Faceless code had yet to be perfected, and the digestion of the potion had only just begun. It would still take several months.
Therefore, his plan wasn't to head straight for the Gargas Archipelago. He would be active in the various colonial islands along the way as an Adventurer and Traveler. From time to time, he would change his identity and experience life, so as to refine the Faceless code.
During this process, he would inquire about mermaids in more detail. After knowing that the Church of the Goddess reared such spiritual creatures and that they possessed the High-Sequence Sequence potion formula of the Seer pathway, Klein was always worried that the Gargas Archipelago had a trap that targeted every Faceless who sought to advance.
In other words, Klein would have to spend two to three months traveling and adventuring on the Sonia Sea. This interval was long enough for Sun to obtain the potion formula, gather the corresponding ingredients, and advance to Sequence 7 High Priest Sun.
With the end of the transaction, the members of the Tarot entered the time for free communication.
Justice Audrey didn't disappoint The Hanging Man's expectations. She stood up first, lifted her skirt, and bowed to the end of the long bronze table.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, I would like to know the truth behind the Great Smog of Baekeland. Was this purely a result of the cultists trying to awaken the Primordial Demoness and the descent of the True Creator? Why did Prince Edessak choose to cooperate with them?
"According to the principle of equivalent exchange that you set, what do I need to pay to obtain the corresponding information?"
If I knew, the matter would've been completely resolved by now … The experienced Klein maintained his leisurely sitting posture and chuckled.
"There's no need.
"The root of the problem has yet to be discovered, but there are enough clues. I hope the people of the three Churches aren't too foolish."
The root of the problem has yet to be discovered? The matter hasn't been completely resolved? Mr. Fool got his adorer to leave some clues for the Churches and the military? Audrey was rather shocked when she heard that, but she felt that it wasn't too surprising given her previous worries and worries.
"Thank you for your answer." She bowed sincerely again.
There's still danger in Baekeland? Magicians Fors immediately felt a little uneasy.
After Miss Justice sat down, Klein controlled The World and chuckled.
"Mr. The Hanging Man, I've discovered the Barron you were talking about."
"The Barron involved in many cases of slaves escaping from colonial islands?" The Hanging Man asked in disbelief.
"Yes, brownish-red skin, Southern Continent, Baekeland accent, and the third tooth on the left is fake," The World replied hoarsely.
"… It should be him." The Hanging Man Alger recalled for two seconds and said, "Where is he? What's his current identity? Also, Mr. World, do you want 100 pounds in cash or something of equivalent value? "
This was a mission from the Church of the Storm, and buying clues was a reimbursable act, so The Hanging Man didn't feel any pressure.
Money, of course! The Fool Klein, who was worrying about his living expenses, controlled The World and said, "100 pounds in cash.
"100 pounds in cash.
"Barron is in Baekeland. Someone saw him meeting with an MI9 member loyal to the royal family. I don't know who it is because he was wearing a mask."
An MI9 member loyal to the royal family … The Hanging Man ruminated over the words and suddenly thought of Miss Justice's question: Why is Prince Edessak cooperating with the Aurora Order and the Demoness Sect?
This also points to the royal family … Can the two cases be combined? The truth behind the matter involves the disappearance of the slaves? Alger felt that he had vaguely seen some key points.
"You really are a well-informed person with many channels. The 100 pounds will be paid tomorrow." The Hanging Man Alger thanked him with a calm expression.
"Heh." World chuckled and turned to look at Sun.
"Little guy, do you know ancient Hermes?"
Derrick didn't hide anything and answered honestly, "I'm not sure.
"I've heard of Hermes, but the City of Silver doesn't have the knowledge in this area."
In the Second Epoch, there was no distinction between Hermes and ancient Hermes. It was only in the Fourth Epoch that there was a corresponding simplification of ancient Hermes, making it easier for daily use, teaching, and dissemination. However, it no longer had such intense and direct ritualistic effects. In other words, the Hermes spoken by Little Sun is equivalent to ancient Hermes … There's indeed a person named Hermes in the history of the City of Silver … Klein nodded to himself.
"What a pity. I wanted to ask you for a favor."
At this moment, Audrey recalled something from their conversation, something that stemmed from Psychological Alchemy.
She originally planned on communicating directly, but looking at the new member, Mr. Moon, she felt that she didn't know him well. All she could do was raise her hand slightly.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you."
Klein nodded slightly, isolating the other people's senses.
"What is it?" he asked calmly.
Audrey said honestly,
"I obtained some information from the Psychological Alchemy. The most important thing is that their establishment originated from the excavation of the ruins of Hermes, which is the Hermes Master who created the ancient Hermes language."
The ruins of Hermes? This old man was still alive one or two hundred years ago … Did he deliberately guide Psychological Alchemy to discover the relic, or did he perish in the Rosell incident? Klein was alarmed. After some deliberation, he reminded him with a smile.
After some deliberation, he reminded her with a smile, "Hermes is a member of the Twilight Hermit Order."
He didn't mention that Hermes might still be alive, because there was no way to confirm it.
Hermes is a member of the Twilight Hermit Order? Psychological Alchemy might be involved with this mysterious organization? Audrey was alarmed before she heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, I have Tarot and Mr. Fool backing me. Otherwise, there's no way for me to know or guard against it … She once again praised The Fool gratefully.
At this moment, Klein originally wanted to console Miss Justice, hoping that she wouldn't be in too much pain and worry about the Great Smog of Baekeland. Being mature didn't mean that one had to give up a certain good mood and smile. This wouldn't affect the importance one placed on matters. Instead, it would help one persevere longer. But after some consideration, in order to maintain his image as The Fool, he had no choice but to abandon the advice from the former Clown.
Following that, he removed the barrier on the other members and waited for the end of the conversation, as well as the end of the Tarot Gathering.
