Chapter 646 A terrifying topic
Aside from the highly productive Miss Justice, no one else submitted any new Emperor Roselle diaries this week. Even the Hermit, who had received information from the Mysterious Queen, all lowered their heads slightly. Only Audrey puffed out her chest with pride.
Hmm, investing several thousand pounds in the "Loen Antiquities Collection and Preservation Foundation" was indeed the right choice. With just a small amount of money, they could get the opportunity to transcribe the diary as soon as they collected it... Audrey couldn't hold back her smile anymore. She quickly lowered her head like everyone else, waiting for Mr. Fool to finish reading this week's diary and look at her, asking what he wanted in exchange for this contribution.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to see the new 'Card of Blasphemy'."
As a newly promoted Sequence 6 Hypnotist, Audrey noticed with her meticulous observation that there were four upside-down tarot cards on the table in front of The Fool as soon as she sat down. Last week, there were only three.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to satisfy her curiosity by contributing to the diary, and did not ask for private communication, but shared the gains with everyone.
At her request, the Blasphemous Card slowly floated up, facing all the Tarot Club members at the long table, and the words condensed by starlight shone brightly:
"Sequence 0, Tyrant."
It looked like the "Sailor" or "Storm" path. This name fits their personality very well: irritable, easily angered, and chauvinistic... Audrey pondered, her gaze not lingering on the Blasphemy Card for long, but looking at the other members.
As the majestic Emperor Roselle, wearing a triple crown, appeared before everyone, their performances were also seen by the audience one by one.
This is one of her purposes in sharing the information.
Audrey, you're becoming more and more cunning... No, this is called wit... She pursed her lips and looked at the "Hanged Man" who should be most interested in this, but found that he was not too surprised. His back was even pressed against the high-backed bronze chair, and his hands were on the table, which psychologically expressed pride.
Miss "Queen" also had a similar reaction. Mr. "World", who was sitting the farthest away, didn't move much, but compared to the other members who were somewhat shocked, his reaction was also very weak. This meant that the three of them already knew about the appearance of this blasphemous card... "Queen" had handed over the "Witch" and "Red Priest", and this time they offered the "Tyrant"?
Within the framework of the Tarot Club, these three members might have acted together and obtained the new "Blasphemy Card"... This also fits with their private conversation last week. And as for "Magician" Fors, given her personality, it's unlikely she participated in such an operation. So, was she the one who rented the travel notebook?
In just a few seconds, Audrey felt that she knew everything.
I really envy them, being able to carry out certain actions together, just like the "team building" that Emperor Roselle once advocated... When the social season starts in June and I return to Backlund, I hope to have such an opportunity.
Audrey clasped her hands lightly under the table, half envious and half excited, until the Blasphemy Card slowly returned to the table and Mr. Fool said in a low voice:
"You guys get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alger, the "Hanged Man," looked towards the "World," waiting for his trade request.
This was agreed upon before the operation on the nameless island began. If the acquired extraordinary characteristics needed to be processed, it would be handed over to him.
Before this Tarot Club began, Alger received the potion formula and the required ritual for "Disaster Priest" from Mr. Fool. He also sold the six-winged gargoyle's core and eyeball to an Intis man in Bayam's underground market. His dry wallet was now filled, and he was in a good mood, just waiting for the subsequent agency processing income to come in.
Sure enough, "The World" immediately spoke:
"I need a craftsman to help me make a magical item with the extraordinary properties of 'Ocean Singer', and it must be easy to carry.
"Also, the Beyonder traits for sale are 'Druid' and 'Astrologer'. The former belongs to the 'Cultivator' pathway, and the latter to the 'Mystery Peeper' pathway. Both are Sequence 5."
There are three Sequence 5 Beyonder Characteristics in total?
Suddenly, silence fell around the bronze table. Aside from Angel and Alger, who had also participated in the exploration and battle, digging up the temple and tomb of the "Ancient Sun God," everyone else looked at the "world" in shock.
They all had the illusion of strolling through a vegetable market, seeing powerful Sequence 5 Beyonders hung on racks, waiting to be slaughtered.
Actually, I didn't do it alone. They did it too... Klein remained calm under everyone's gaze, but he kept muttering in his heart.
Klein had actually considered turning all three Beyonder traits into magical items, but he was already a seasoned Beyonder by this point and knew that more magical items wasn't always better. Sometimes, items with different negative effects could interact with each other, hindering combat. Furthermore, he possessed the versatile "Creeping Hunger" and had priority access to "Lemano's Travel Notebook," so his need for other items wasn't great.
Furthermore, these are the characteristics of Sequence 5. Even if you have several of them, their effects are not as strong as a single magical item possessed by a demigod...
Thinking of Angel's "Parasite" gloves that could steal the abilities of demigods, and his "Wings of Death" feathers that could easily suppress undead creatures like "Wraiths," Klein felt a surge of envy.
Any Beyonder who possesses these two magical items could steal Creeping Hunger's grazing ability and then suppress my Marionette with its feathers. I'd be left with nothing to do but run for my life...
Fortunately, her having it is equivalent to mine... Well, I happen to be planning to explore the hidden location in the sewer near my house that requires a magical item called the "Thief" to enter. I can borrow the "Parasite" gloves from her. No, I don't even need to borrow them. She has been keeping this dangerous item with the "Fool", that is, with me... While thinking, Klein controlled "The World" and "The Hanged Man" to reach an agreement, allowing the craftsmen behind him to prioritize making magical items for him.
The Beyonder characteristic of the Druid was purchased by Cattleya the Hermit for 8,000 pounds. Frank Lee on the latter's Future had been stuck at Sequence 6 for too long, and Klein was looking forward to the future development of this "biologist." If he could research plants that grow in darkness, perhaps he could solve the biggest problem for Derrick, the "Sun" of Silver City.
Miss Justice was very interested in the extraordinary properties of the Astrologer and ordered it for 8,000 pounds. She handed it directly to the Hanged Man and asked the craftsman to design a suitable item.
That's a full 16,000 pounds... If my "Deathwing" were put up for sale, it would probably fetch 40,000-50,000 pounds, higher than Beyonder traits of the same sequence, but no one besides Audrey could afford it. Cattleya, the "Hermit," was hesitant to buy the "Druid." She wasn't exactly wealthy... No, perhaps she was worried that Frank's promotion would increase his destructive power... Angel observed the transaction, feeling happy that Klein had made such a good profit. At the same time, he examined his own magical items, assessing their value.
Of course, demigod-level magical items are extremely rare, and she has no intention of selling them.
With the completion of several large transactions, the Tarot Club entered the stage of information exchange.
"Dear Mr. Fool, can I show you some information I discovered during my previous operations?"
Angel turned his head to look at the Fool at the head of the long table and asked.
This was the tacit understanding reached by the three after the adventure. After all, it was much safer to discuss the matter of the three gods sharing the "Ancient Sun God" and Adam in the Tarot Club than in the dangerous real world. Moreover, they still had too many unanswered questions about the contents of the ancient painting.
"Can."
Klein immediately replied that he had the same idea.
With his help, Angel presented the ancient painting with delicate painting skills, bright colors, but extremely dark, bloody and evil style.
The scene that was realized was quite three-dimensional and appeared vividly in front of everyone. The three men were well-dressed and looked righteous, but the scene of them sharing the corpse like crazy savages stunned everyone.
After everyone regained their composure and looked at him with confused and shocked eyes, Angel recounted their adventures exploring the nameless island in detail. He didn't focus on the two battles, but rather on the ancient murals in the temple of the "Ancient Sun God," the creator revered by the City of Silver, and most importantly...
"Angel of Fantasy", Adam.
It was He who created that nameless island, attracting a large number of potential Beyonders, including "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos, and selecting suitable targets, giving them tasks and tests, and bestowing certain rewards.
"So, the Angel King probably watched your entire adventure and sighed at the end?"
Cattleya asked, frowning.
"He wouldn't think your fight wasn't exciting enough, wouldn't it? It wasn't satisfying to watch," she said. After all, no matter how unexciting it was, three Sequence 5 Beyonders had their characteristics placed on the Tarot Club's table. Faced with three Beyonders of the same Sequence, the "Admiral of the Stars" felt he had no choice but to run for his life.
"This shouldn't be His true purpose."
Angel answered honestly and looked at Mr. Fool, waiting for the answer from the god.
"Adam's target is not you."
After waiting for a moment, Klein the Fool lowered his voice and spoke.
In fact, "His" target might very well be me. Specifically, my "Groselle's Travels"... Klein thought somewhat dejectedly after receiving the answer from Will Auceptin. He now understood Angel's helplessness when facing Adam. He couldn't fight him, and he couldn't escape him. He didn't even know if he was by his side, using "psychological invisibility" to act like a qualified spectator...
Fortunately, He must have achieved His goal, so He didn't stop us from leaving... He quickly recovered and continued in the tone of a fool:
"Also, Adam is the leader of the 'Twilight Hermits'. Don't mention this name to the outside world, and it's best not to even think about it."
The Twilight Hermits... "Hermit" and "Moon" were a little puzzled. When they joined, the assassination of Duke Negan by the "Apostle of Desire" had already occurred. After that, this word was never mentioned again in the Tarot Club, so they were not clear about the key. It was only after the enthusiastic "Hanged Man" introduced them to this secret organization that they understood.
"'Imaginary Angel', whatever he says will be known..."
Cattleya silently recited these words, her expression changing again and again. She thought of some of the secret knowledge she had learned. Her gaze lingered for a long time on the floating image on the long bronze table. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she murmured:
"Wait, these three figures sharing the ancient sun god, could they be the last three 'Angel Kings' whose names we still don't know?"
In previous discussions, everyone already knew about the Angel of Fate, the Angel of Time, the Angel of Red, and the Angel of Darkness. Now that Adam, one of the descendants of the Creator, has been matched with the Angel of Imagination, there are only three left of the Eight Angel Kings...
"Yes, they are the last three Angel Kings, and also..."
The Hanged Man hesitated before stating his inference, which was a bit difficult for him, a relatively devout believer in the Lord of Storms.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Derrick, the Sun, who was standing beside him. Derrick's tall body was hunched over, his expression painful, and his tone of voice was desperate:
"They are the 'Eternal Blazing Sun', the 'Lord of Storms', and the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' that you believe in, and the one they devoured is the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and almighty God..."
The Creator that Silver City longed for every night was dead.
