Chapter 479 Tarot Club "Helping" Each Other
"Mr. Fool, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon~"
Perhaps because she was living a comfortable life in the family castle in her hometown, "Justice" Audrey's tone was particularly cheerful today.
But Alger, the "Hanged Man", had no time to appreciate it. He was now caught between the "Queen" and the "World" and felt like a clown.
Driven away by the fleet of Vice Admiral Dusk, the Blue Avenger, which was supposed to arrive at Hakata Port on Monday morning for repairs and supplies, deviated from its original route and is still drifting on the sea. Therefore, one-third of the Tarot Club's members had to attend the party on this ghost ship.
As early as this morning, Angel secretly found the "Hanged Man" Alger and asked him to find a way to get rid of German Sparrow so that he would not disturb her during the Tarot Club.
While Alger confirmed through this request that the "Queen" still did not know the identity of the "World", he couldn't help but feel confused.
Aren't you two close? When I asked if we should stay in separate rooms or together, you both hesitated. During the trip, you spent every day together, learning about ancient Feysac language and the history of the Fourth Epoch. Why doesn't the "Queen" know that Gehrman is "The World"?
But thinking that the gains from his adventure on the primitive island were still in Angel's hands and had not yet been distributed, Alger had no choice but to agree. He found two sailors and "accidentally" ran into German who was about to go to Angel's room to give her extra lessons. He invited him to play cards in the lounge.
Sure enough, "The World" Hermann, who also did not want to reveal his identity, readily agreed. When the Tarot Club was about to start, he found an excuse to leave the card table, went into the simple bathroom on the ship, locked the door, and remained silent.
Oh, I hope that when his true identity is discovered, he won't betray me, who helped him. Also, when I ordered the sailors to send Hermann away, they looked at me strangely. I'm really not that kind of person... Alger glanced at the "Queen" sitting across from him and smiled bitterly.
Angel, who was being stared at by him, was also absent-minded. She used the help of the "Hanged Man" to get Klein away to prevent him from pushing the door in while she was frozen in place and participating in the Tarot Club. Since then, she has been immersed in a feeling of guilt.
Next time, next time I will definitely find a chance to confess to him...
"Mr. Fool, I found two pages of Emperor Roselle's diary this time. I think, with my status as a 'Baron,' I'll soon be able to obtain more resources within the vampire clan, which of course includes more diaries."
"Moon," Emlyn said first, unabashedly puffing out his chest, making his already exceptional height even more conspicuous.
Klein absentmindedly glanced at the diary that appeared in front of him. Using the cover of the gray fog, he secretly glanced at Angel on his left. Although he knew that Angel wouldn't notice, he still looked away guiltily.
The gray mist beside the table seemed to sense his thoughts and gathered more "biasedly" around Angel, making it difficult for her to see the details of other people's movements, especially the Fool's.
Klein could guess that the sudden appearance of the sailor and the card game were prepared by the Hanged Man for him, and this must have been commissioned by Angel. Although this gave him an excuse to stay alone in the bathroom, he still felt a strong sense of shame.
Find a chance to confess to her… Of course, not about The Fool, but about The World… He first manipulated the puppet The World sitting opposite him, making it move slightly so as not to be mistaken for a corpse, and then began to read the diary.
As the three people at the head of the long table casually exchanged glances, Cattleya, the "Hermit" who had recently joined the Tarot Club and sat farthest away from "The World," was also observing the others.
After guessing the identity of Miss "Queen" at the last Tarot Club, she tried several transactions and information exchanges to figure out the general level of this gathering.
Aside from Mr. Fool and the suspected Sequence 5 "Queen," who was capable of murdering the Bishop of the Church of Storms, there didn't seem to be anyone of particular note... Most of the other members were members of a certain church, secret organization, or small circle. They weren't high-ranking, but they were all young and promising. Perhaps this was the standard The Fool used to recruit them: their value wasn't high at the moment, but they were worth the investment?
Unfortunately, I don't need anyone else's investment, nor do I want to invest in anyone else... Well, except for Mr. Fool. After she replies to my letter, it seems I can test this being's attitude towards Emperor Roselle... Before that, limit contact and don't expose yourself.
She pondered and looked at the other members cautiously, using the "Eye of Secrets" that could not be closed automatically after reaching the "Astrologer" sequence 5 of the "Secret Peer" and could see through most secrets to look at them one by one.
After focusing the vision for a long time, this ability can see through the gray fog to a certain extent and observe the aura of other members.
Of course, she didn't dare stare at Mr. Fool at the top of the table. Not to mention whether this would constitute disrespect, the danger alone was something she, a Sequence 5, couldn't bear.
The uncontrolled dissipation of spiritual energy indicates that Mr. "Sun" has recently been promoted? It seems that after receiving the materials I provided, he has become a "Sun Priest".
Last week, Mr. Moon was promoted to Potions Professor. If this was normal for the Tarot Club, it meant that members were promoted almost every week. Even if their Sequences were low, it was relatively easy to get promoted. This was too fast...
The more she thought about it, the more surprised she became. "Hermit" Cattleya looked at each member one by one and was relieved to find that except for Taiyang, no other member showed the state of being promoted.
But when her gaze carefully avoided Mr. Fool and fell on the Queen, she discovered that the mysterious gray mist surrounding her was far greater than that of any other member, almost second only to the Fool who organized the gathering.
Others seemed to be unable to see this state, and only the "Eye of Prying Secrets" could detect the abnormality. Was she also related to this mysterious place? No, this gray fog did not seem to be close to her, but rather... alert, defensive?
She wanted to take a closer look, but the look from Mr. Fool made her heart tighten, and she quickly lowered her head.
"You guys get started."
Following Mr. Fool's orders, the long bronze table suddenly became lively.
"Everyone, I've been promoted to 'Sun Priest'. Thank you for your help."
Derrick, the Sun, spoke first and solemnly expressed his gratitude to the individuals who provided the recipes and materials.
"As a result, I gained access to more books and materials within the City of Silver, and also obtained the method Mr. 'World' needed to clear the mental contamination within his Beyonder characteristics."
Wait, wait, you're just saying it out loud like that... Klein's expression was dazed. He glanced at Angel, then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she hadn't reacted. He then manipulated the "world" to ask, "What are you doing?"
"Pass it to me immediately by note."
He deliberately showed a hint of eagerness, paving the way for "the world" to become a real living person, Klein Moretti.
"I also want to join the transaction. What do I need in exchange?"
Angel immediately asked.
She knew that Klein possessed a contaminated Beyonder characteristic from a reckless Puppet Master. If she could obtain a method other than Angel's Full Power Attack, perhaps she could help him solve his problem and advance as quickly as possible.
"No, I will make this public as a thank you for your help."
Sun's sincere answer made many people present lower their heads in shame, including Klein, who was prepared to share the information exclusively.
Soon, everyone got the parchment that Derrick had materialized.
"Use an item that can steal Beyonder abilities to steal the pollution. Before it returns, transform the Beyonder's properties into a potion, and the pollution will be homeless... This method is very clever. The Nighthawks in Tingen City possess a sealed artifact that can steal abilities, the 'Vascular Thief.' But if Klein and I appeared there, we would be considered dead..."
Angel looked at the plan provided by Sun and thought to himself.
"Another option is to use a certain magical item from the City of Silver to shatter the Beyonder characteristics, and then allow it to slowly gather... Isn't this what Mr. Azik mentioned as the 'angel's full-strength attack'? This means that the magical item possesses the status of an angel, and is likely at the level of a '0'-level Sealed Artifact. Haha, the only such Sealed Artifact I know of is '0-08'. Looking for it is seeking death..."
Klein was also analyzing the intelligence, and then he and Angel sighed together.
These are not solutions that can be used now...
"Actually, there's another method," the Hermit suddenly said, looking at the parchment in his hand. "The 'Darkless Ones' of the 'Sun' Path can directly purify the spiritual pollution of Beyonder characteristics."
"The Darkless One," that's Mr. Sun's path, Sequence 4. But once he ascends to demigod status, I'm afraid I won't even need this plan anymore... Klein looked at Cattleya curiously, surprised at her generosity in providing information.
Could it be that she thought the other members of the Tarot Club weren't high-level, and therefore didn't intend to conceal themselves and observe carefully? I was really looking forward to her reaction after she learned Angel's identity and the fate of Vice Admiral Disease's flagship...
"Thank you for the information, Ms. Hermit."
He manipulated the "world" to answer in a low voice, then chuckled and continued:
"Also, ten days ago, Vice Admiral Disease's flagship, the Black Death, sank near Bayam. I'd like to know the details."
The Black Death, that’s not… The Hanged Man subconsciously looked at Angel, then glanced at the “world” and suddenly realized.
"The World" has a close relationship with the "Queen" and it is impossible for them not to know the inside information. He wants to intimidate the new member "The Hermit" whose attitude has changed a little!
Haha, since last week, I've felt that she lacks the necessary respect for the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool. Even if the magnanimous Mr. Fool doesn't take action, it's necessary to let her know that our strength is no less than that of a pirate general...
Thinking he had formed a three-way alliance and had begun to stand with the "Queen" and "The World", he immediately spoke:
"I know some rumors. Tracy's ship, the Black Death, was completely blown to pieces that night. Hundreds of crew members, including her most elite men, fell into the water with her. They fled in panic, pursued by the military and the Church of Storms. Half of the sailors and more than five Beyonders were captured or killed on the spot. In the short term, Vice Admiral Disease will probably be unable to compete with the other pirate generals."
Tracy's flagship, commanded by herself, was blown to pieces... the same fate as Vice Admiral Disease's other battleship, the City Breaker? Could this also be the work of Angelica Thatch, aka the Queen?
Cattleya, also a pirate general, became restless. She secretly glanced at the "Queen" and found that she was calm and composed, not at all proud of this achievement.
Justice, Moon, Magician, and the others were also attracted by her somewhat shocked gaze and looked at Angel.
Realizing that she had become the focus of everyone's attention, Angel came back to her senses from her thoughts. She smiled calmly and said:
"Crystallized feathers of the Blue Shadow Falcon, fruits of the Psychedelic Wind Bell Tree, and the compound eyes of a giant spider that transforms into flaming spears. Anyone want to buy any?"
What?
Except for Klein, who silently closed his eyes behind the gray fog, everyone else had a dazed look on their faces.
