Chapter 287 Laughter
What? The Aurora Society's divine messenger openly appeared in Backlund?
What? That oracle offended the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool?
What? A Sequence 5 Beyonder was killed so easily?
With the help of Mr. Sun's "Adventures in Silver City," Fors, the "Magician," had already conceived several different plots for the novel. He was now listening carefully to the news about Backlund, where he lived, and was deeply shocked by Miss Queen's description.
"I remember the codename 'Ms. D'. It's very similar to 'Mr. A', the organizer of a Beyonder gathering I attended. Could he also be a divine messenger of the 'Aurora Society'? Oh my god, I even hired him to assassinate an Intis ambassador on behalf of Miss Audrey. I suspected he was a member of the Aurora Society, but I didn't expect his status in the society to be so high..."
She thought about it with some fear and even began to consider whether she would continue to attend Mr. A's rallies in the future.
After hearing that Angel had killed a Sequence 5 "Shepherd", the other Tarot Club members also fell into a strange silence.
"So, the 'some' extraordinary characteristics you mentioned just now originated from this 'Shepherd' Ms. D?"
After a moment, the Hanged Man was the first to ask, his tone different from his usual communication, with a hint of caution.
"Yes, a copy of the Beyonder's special properties, as well as the properties of the Faceless Man and the Dawn Knight. The latter two have been integrated with some of the body's tissues, becoming semi-magical items. The souls of the shepherds will be extracted one by one after their death. It's a pity that I couldn't wait until the end, otherwise the harvest would be even richer."
Angel answered honestly. Since she needed to use the Hanged Man to find craftsmen to make them into magical items, there was no point in concealing the names of the Beyonder properties. Moreover, she also wanted to sell them at the Tarot Club. It was like showing off her own collection, and she felt a thrill and excitement of being in the spotlight, enjoying everyone's attention.
The Hanged Man, Alger, was secretly shocked and felt that he needed to re-evaluate the strength of this Tarot Club member.
He learned from internal documents of the Mandated Punisher that when "Queen" Angel Granger "died" in Tingen City in early September, she was likely only at the strength of Sequence 7.
And just two months later, she was able to kill the Sequence 5 "Shepherd" alone!
Mr. Sun once revealed the characteristics of this sequence. The "Shepherd" can herd multiple different Beyonder souls and use their Beyonder abilities. A fully-powered "Shepherd" can even independently fight against a team of "Manufactured Punishers" who possess Sealed Objects!
In other words, the Queen's combat power at this moment is equivalent to that of an entire squadron of Mandated Punishers, and facing them, I can only flee in panic, and even whether I can escape depends on luck...
Is it due to the increased combat capability brought by some magical item, or is it that she has rapidly improved her sequence during this period?
Alger pondered, glanced at Mr. Fool, and then quickly looked away.
Could it be that she completed the task requested by Mr. Fool to destroy the conspiracy of the "True Creator" and thus received an extra reward?
Feeling as if he had grasped some information, Alger nodded calmly.
"Thank you for the information. I have no further questions."
"Well, if anyone else wants to purchase these extraordinary traits, or can find a craftsman, feel free to ask here." Angel looked at the other members and found that they had no intention of paying for them. He added with a hint of regret, "There's also a 'Sheriff' trait. Does anyone want it?"
This public hawking made her feel as if she was back at the "Eye of Wisdom" party. Unfortunately, except for "Justice" Audrey, everyone else seemed to be as cash-strapped as the members of that party.
"Sorry, I have a question..."
As everyone looked at each other, the magician, who spoke the least, except for the seemingly taciturn Mr. World, raised her right hand slightly and asked hesitantly under the gazes of the others:
"What are these 'Extraordinary Characteristics' you just mentioned?"
Fors felt a little embarrassed. She could sense the inquiry and curiosity in the gazes of those around her. Although there was no malice, she felt as if she were asking "how to submit a manuscript to a magazine" at a gathering of best-selling novelists. She felt like an outsider who had sneaked into the venue.
"This involves a law of mysticism: the conservation of Beyonder characteristics," Angel had learned this information from Kavi, and it seemed the other Tarot Club members knew it, so they didn't hide it from the new member. "The characteristics contained in the potion taken by Beyonders will be released after their death. This 'material' is the Beyonder characteristic, equivalent to the main ingredient of the corresponding potion. As long as you know the formula and the auxiliary ingredients, you can mix the potion and advance normally. Of course, their more common use is to make magical items of the corresponding sequence."
"So that's how it is..."
As if recalling something she hadn't understood before, the magician muttered to herself, then suddenly turned her head to look at Angel:
"Just now, you said you wanted to sell the Beyonder property of 'Sheriff'. Can it also be used to mix potions?"
"Of course, the premise is that you know the formula and add the correct auxiliary materials, otherwise the probability of failure will be greatly increased."
Angel answered with some confusion. She remembered that this new member had just purchased the formula of "Master of Magic" from her not long ago. Why would he be interested in the extraordinary properties of another path?
Could it be that she is looking for the main ingredients for potions for her friends and relatives?
Angel quickly thought of this.
This is not a bad thing for the Tarot Club. If every member has other extraordinary people behind them who collect extraordinary materials for them, then transactions at the bronze table will become more frequent.
As expected, the magician said with joy:
"Thank you for your answer, Miss Queen. I'd like to reserve this Beyonder attribute of 'Sheriff'. I'll trade it before the party next week, using the same method as last time... Hmm, how much did it cost?"
At the end, she realized that she had agreed to the deal without even asking for the price, and asked hesitantly.
"For just £600, it's yours."
Angel answered immediately.
This was her predetermined price, roughly equivalent to the sum of the main ingredients for a Sequence 8 potion. She was even prepared for some bargaining, but the magician immediately nodded in agreement.
After another deal was completed, the palace returned to silence. A moment later, Mr. Fool knocked on the long bronze table with his knuckles, and a piece of parchment appeared in front of each person. He whispered:
"These are some of the meanings of the symbols in Russell's diary. It will make it easier for you to collect other diaries."
Angel looked down and saw the Arabic numerals from 0 to 9 and the meanings of several Chinese characters written in Loen language. The combination of them was the date of the diary.
But why did Mr. Fool provide this knowledge and specifically said it was "to facilitate diary collection"?
Could it be that part of the diary provided by Mr. Hanged Man just now was forged, so He wanted to tell us the preliminary method of identification to prevent members from being deceived again and then submitting fake diaries to Him?
Hahaha……
Angel pursed his lips, trying his best to keep them straight. The gray fog here was clearly a one-way barrier. If Mr. Fool saw him smiling, he would probably develop Beyonder characteristics right away...
After several unbearable minutes, with a flash of crimson light, she finally left the ancient palace and returned to her home.
…
After leaving Mr. Fool's sight, Angel could finally laugh out loud without worry. Of course, she wasn't laughing because the Hanged Man provided fake diaries, forcing Mr. Fool to provide new knowledge helplessly, but because of the lucrative profits from this Tarot Club.
"Audrey promised 5,000 pounds, the magician paid 600 pounds for the special features, and the Hanged Man also agreed to help me find other craftsmen..."
As she thought about each thing, the corners of her mouth widened, until she could no longer hold back her laughter. Then she subconsciously reached for the "Ring of Madness" on her finger, ready to take off this magical item that magnified her desire for money.
"Hey, I'm not wearing it?"
Touching the smooth fingers, Angel was stunned.
Ah, how to publish it directly?
This is the morning portion...
