Chapter 585 Tarot Club's Own Demigod
"Prisoner Path Sequence 4, 'Puppet'."
Angel first heard this sequence from the mouth of a Fourth Epoch evil spirit bound in the basement of Backlund. It pointed out Miss Sharon's subsequent sequence and asked Sharon to help it escape in exchange for providing the potion formula and cooperating with the promotion ceremony.
Of course, the evil spirit also gave different conditions to Angel and Klein, including the "Red Priest" card. Angel obtained this blasphemous card from another place, which also meant that the other party was very likely to use false rewards to deceive them.
However, Sharon did confirm that the name of the "Puppet" sequence was correct.
Prisoner, puppet... Everyone chewed on these two names, replenishing their "mystical knowledge base", but it was obvious that the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 4 far exceeded their ability to bear, both in terms of price and demand for characteristics.
"Ms. Queen, may I ask where this Beyonder characteristic came from? Is it a damaged magical item, or was it purchased from someone else? If I possess it, will it attract the attention of others?"
In the silent Tarot Club, the Hermit's voice sounded a little sharp.
She was veiledly asking about the origin of this "puppet"'s properties, fearing that it would arouse hostility from other forces... Angel thought for a moment, understood what she meant, and slowly replied:
"It comes from a demigod of the 'Rose School'. Its characteristics are not contaminated, but I cannot guarantee that it will not be traced."
Angel could certainly be vague and make up a reason like buying low and selling high to show the safety of this extraordinary characteristic, but this might harm other members of the Tarot Club and make the person who bought the characteristic be found by the "Rose School" without preparation, so he did not conceal it.
"Is it the 'Rose School' in the southern continent?"
Audrey interjected. After more than half a year of intensive Tarot Club training, she had gained considerable knowledge of numerous secret sects and quickly thought of the evil cult in the southern continent that was the subject of so many bloody rumors.
I am no longer that ignorant little girl... She thought with some pride, and then quickly used her soothing ability to calm down this unhealthy thought.
This made her immediately realize the other meaning behind the "Queen's" words.
"Wait, you, you killed a demigod and gained his extraordinary characteristics?"
Audrey turned her neck stiffly to the right and looked at Angel beside her, even using honorifics.
From the words of the Hanged Man and other Tarot Club members, and from her somewhat speculative imagination, only a demigod could kill another demigod.
In her heart, the "Queen" has always been the young woman who hid her true appearance but helped her many times and even risked her life to stop the Aurora Society's messenger. Even after the heavy smog, knowing that she was able to participate in events of this level, Audrey still lacked a real sense of how powerful the "Queen", who was also a veteran of the Tarot Society, was.
Until now...
"Yes, I'll do it myself."
Angel replied calmly, knowing that this was tantamount to admitting that she had also become a demigod.
Although killing Zatvin could indeed be considered a "personal act" in terms of the effectiveness of the Ascension Ceremony, the battle that day involved at least an angel, a digital demigod, and a giant black hand whose sequence was probably no less powerful than Annie's, so it couldn't be said that she fought alone.
But considering everyone's psychological endurance, she still concealed the fact that these "participants" joined the battle.
Following her answer, a long silence fell around the long bronze table.
Killing a demigod with her own hands, taking away his characteristics and selling them at the Tarot Club, is this the "Queen" Angelica Sage that I know... "Hermit" Cattleya couldn't help but glance over, but quickly looked away.
The last time they met, when they entered the "God War Ruins", she was very sure that the other party was not yet a demigod, and even his combat power was only slightly better than hers. She was facing a demigod alone, and she was lucky to escape alive.
It's been less than a month and she has already been promoted to demigod?
Compared to Justice and Hermit who knew the true identity of the "Queen", the reactions of the other members were a bit slow.
Emlyn the Moon didn't have much fear or respect for demigods. After all, there was more than one demigod in his vampire clan, and he himself had the blessing of the First Ancestor. However, the emergence of a High-Sequence Beyonder within the Tarot Club had caused him to reflect on the speed of his own advancement.
The Sun and the Magician were among those who were somewhat numb with shock. Although they had anticipated the Queen's push for Sequence 4 when she requested high-value auxiliary materials, they had both assumed it would take years to reach that level. They hadn't expected that within just a few months, she had already successfully ascended, even killing another demigod and asking them if they wanted to purchase Beyonder traits...
On the contrary, it was Alger, the "Hanged Man", who remained the calmest.
Humph, Backlund's people are really out of touch with the news. I already knew it that day... Across from Angel, Alger chuckled secretly and looked at the other silent members one by one. Finally, he turned his gaze to the "Hermit", who had been drifting at sea for the past few days, unable to get the news in the first time, and obviously still had no idea what was going on.
Now, his small alliance with the Queen and the World completely overwhelmed the other members, especially the Admiral of the Stars. She might have the Mysterious Queen behind her, but now, even without counting Mr. Fool's subordinates, the Tarot Club had its own demigod...
Moreover, judging from the "Queen's" behavior, she doesn't seem to intend to hide her true identity?
Or perhaps, "Angelica Sage" is just one of her identities.
Thinking of this, Alger coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and then said:
"I heard some news last week about the Rose School," he glanced at Angel. Seeing no reaction, he continued, "They planned an attack on Bayam in the City of Generosity. Thanks to the defense of the demigods of the Church of Storms stationed there, there weren't many casualties, but..."
He paused.
"In the chaotic battle between the various factions, a demigod from the Rose School is suspected to have died, and 'Blood Admiral' Senior is missing."
This is tantamount to pointing the finger at the "Queen"...
The others then understood what the Hanged Man meant and looked at Angel, who had just admitted to killing a demigod of the "Rose School".
Although the latter was somewhat surprised at Alger's speed in acquiring information, she had no intention of concealing it and nodded in acknowledgement.
As word of Angelica Sage's bounty and Bayam's events spread, as long as he continued to sell the "puppet" identity in the Tarot Club, it would inevitably be linked to that abandoned identity, and any concealment would be meaningless.
"So, you are already a 'demigod'?"
Audrey asked again as if to confirm.
She adjusted her mindset slightly, thinking that she shouldn't use honorifics to address this companion, but she couldn't conceal the caution in her tone.
After receiving a positive answer, she gently clenched her fists under the table, feeling genuinely happy for the Tarot Club elder and her friend who was sitting next to her.
Moreover, this is the first high-sequence member of the Tarot Club, our strongest combat force!
Of course, Mr. Fool must have other followers under his command, some of whom are already high-sequence followers, or even angels...
She looked at the figure at the head of the long table who didn't react at all and added secretly.
The other members had similar thoughts, and the positive emotions that permeated the table were quickly curbed, and all eyes finally turned to The Fool.
Why are you looking at me? You don't think I have a lot of demigods under my command, do you? In fact, it's not just Angel. Even I can't defeat her without using the power of the gray fog... Klein smiled bitterly, feeling the gazes lingering on him, and he didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, after a while, the original transaction began to continue.
No one had yet "claimed" the Beyonder attribute worth 30,000 pounds. Instead, the "Calamity Priest" attribute, priced at 3,500 pounds or 3,000 Loen gold coins, was quickly bought by Audrey. She then commissioned the Hanged Man to contact a craftsman to create a magical item for her so that she could utilize the power of "luck."
This reminded Angel that if no one bought the "puppet" feature, she could try to make it into a magical item or sell it separately. However, high-sequence magical items were obviously difficult to make on commission. Even if the "Hanged Man" himself was trustworthy, his craftsmen might not be able to withstand the temptation of tens of thousands of pounds in profits.
The sequence of the Beyonder characteristic is too high, which actually causes more trouble... She muttered dejectedly.
Driven by the successful transaction, Moon, Sun, and others successively traded several potion ingredients. The former even issued another "murder commission," asking members in Backlund to pay attention to the information of several "Original Moon" believers. The effective clues were rewarded with 100 pounds, and the direct lock was 500 pounds.
He did not hide his intentions towards these believers and bluntly stated that they were enemies within the vampire clan.
This reminded Angel of the worship of the primordial moon in the Book of Secrets.
After the bloody commission, the meeting fell into a brief silence. Just when everyone thought no deal had been made, "The World" suddenly spoke in a low, hoarse voice:
"I'm selling a magical item. It's formed by the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5 'Winner'. I call it the 'Lucky Balance'..."
He briefly introduced the effects of the magical items, such as the terrifying "luck" effect that could be obtained in the short term, but would backfire on the user later, etc., allowing Angel to immediately confirm that this was the coin pendant from "Blood Admiral" Senior.
Why is he selling it now? Isn't this tantamount to admitting that the "Blood General" died at his hands?
Angel looked at "World" Klein in confusion, but found that he was also looking in this direction, the meaning of which was unclear.
