Neither... Cattleya, the Hermit, chewed over Mr. Fool’s answer, and suddenly she was a little confused about the true meaning of the question.
She originally thought that the spiritual and mental destination of Emperor Roselle must involve philosophical or mystical factors. For example, "that island" refers to the kingdom of the gods he believes in, and "the depths of the starry sky" implies the "starry realm", symbolizing that Emperor Roselle only believes in his own superego and his goal is to reach the throne of God. As a result, Mr. Fool said that none of them is true, which negates almost all possibilities and makes it impossible to think of other answers.
Perhaps what the Queen wants to ask is not what I understand. Mr. Fool’s answer points to another meaning… It doesn’t matter whether I can figure it out or not. I am just a tool for them to communicate… Cattleya sighed in her heart and bowed sincerely, saying:
“Thanks for your answer.”
The other members of the Tarot Club were even more confused about this question and answer. Although they knew the background and understood the specific meaning of the spiritual and mental destination, they were completely unable to connect this with the "island" and "the depths of the starry sky". So they each had their own interpretations and guesses, but they felt that they were far from the correct answer.
In the subconscious mind of the Magician Fors, "that island" might be the place where Roselle buried his most beloved woman, and "the depths of the starry sky" meant that in his later years, the great emperor turned his gaze to what he called the "sea of stars."
"Justice" Audrey believes that "that island" is an island of self-awareness at the psychological level. The part on the sea is the conscious mind, the part on the seabed is the subconscious mind, and the starry sky refers to the spiritual sky and the astral world. So the corresponding question becomes "Does Emperor Roselle believe in himself, or in gods, or in pure nature?"
From this perspective, the answer given by Mr. Fool is quite strange, as if to say that Emperor Roselle believes in nothing, including himself.
I seem to have misunderstood... But if that's true, the Emperor Roselle mentioned by Mr. Fool may seem contradictory, but in fact he hides some deep secrets... Or, in his later years, he saw through life and thought about the nature of the universe, the world, the gods, and humans, and became a pessimist and a nihilist? Audrey thought with interest, as if she was exercising her abilities.
The idea of the Hanged Man Alger was similar to that of the Hermit Cattleya. After thinking for a while, Emlyn the Moon felt that he had no clue and gave up his speculation. Derrick the Sun had no interest in Emperor Roselle, but he did not break the silence, thinking over and over again about what he was going to discuss next.
Finally, the Fool, who was shrouded in gray fog, chuckled and said:
"You guys get started."
The Hanged Man Alger immediately looked at the “world” Gehrman Sparrow at the bottom of the long bronze table and said carefully:
"Sorry, you may have to wait a while for that magical item of yours."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he quickly gave an explanation:
"That 'craftsman' has contracted a strange disease, and there are suspicious snoopers around, so he has been delayed. I will go there in person to see if I can solve his problem and get him back to normal as soon as possible. I will try to make the magical item you need within two weeks."
He spoke very sincerely and expressed his apologies and concerns, but in his actual description, he quietly pushed all the responsibility onto the "craftsman", as if he was saying to the "world", if you are really dissatisfied, I will help you teach the other party a lesson, and if that is not enough, I can even give you a specific address and let you come to my house in person.
That craftsman is in trouble... Mr. The Hanged Man really values him. Well, unofficial craftsmen, or those willing to accept orders of unknown origin, are very rare. If we can keep this one, we must do our best to keep him... Klein pondered for a moment and let the dummy "World" respond hoarsely:
"I agree to postpone this time, but there won't be a next time."
His words were very calm, but Alger, the Hanged Man, was startled. He seemed to sense the murderous intent of Gehrman Sparrow, the World.
"Thank you for your understanding." He said calmly.
Seeing this, Cattleya, the "Hermit" who was listening to the conversation between the two, looked at the "Hanged Man", slightly raised the corner of her mouth, pushed up her glasses, and took the initiative to speak:
"If you can't solve that trouble, I can help."
In her opinion, if the problem was not serious, it could even be free. After all, it meant that she bypassed the "Hanged Man" and established direct contact with the "craftsman".
How could the Hanged Man Alger not understand the true intentions of the pirate general, the Hermit? He only felt that the other party had shown a strong aggressiveness, which made him feel a certain degree of pressure. He paused and responded calmly:
"Then I'll take his place. Thank you in advance for your kindness."
On the one hand, he showed his close relationship with the "craftsman", and on the other hand, he did not directly reject it, leaving himself a way out. Compared to being in trouble with Gehrman Sparrow, sacrificing some interests was not unacceptable.
The Hermit Cattleya did not dwell on this matter. Instead, she looked at the World Gehrman Sparrow and said:
"Are you satisfied with the West Balam intelligence?"
She had already collected and organized the West Balam intelligence that Gehrman Sparrow needed last Thursday, and delivered it to him with the help of the strange messenger.
She was filled with fear of Mr. Fool, and was unwilling to disturb him if there was any other way.
It cost me a full 300 pounds. If it's not up to standard, I'll return it on the spot! Klein muttered, causing World Gehrman Sparrow to say "hmm" as a response.
Then, the dummy's eyes turned to Miss Magician.
Fors suddenly felt uncomfortable, like a mouse being stared at by a cat, and couldn't help wondering in her heart whether she had done something wrong again.
Did he hear my description, no, slander of Dwayne Dantès when I was talking to Xio? Or was he not happy that I didn't return the money? Fors didn't think about the fact that many days had passed since the previous bodyguard mission. She asked with a little trepidation:
"Mr. World, is there anything?"
World Gehrman Sparrow nodded and said:
“A commission.
"Get the information about Calderon City in the spiritual world from the Abraham family. The most important thing is the location."
Calderon City... Why did the "world" suddenly start looking for this mysterious spiritual city? Mr. Fool's order? Is this a new part of the recovery plan? Cattleya, the "Hermit", had some knowledge of Calderon City and was quite surprised at this moment.
The other members of the Tarot Club, including Magician Fors, had no idea what city the World Gehrman Sparrow was looking for, so they could only remain silent. Among them, Emlyn the Moon vaguely felt that he had heard of it somewhere before, but could not remember the specific details.
After three or four seconds, Magician Fors forced a smile:
"No problem, I'll ask for you."
"How much is the reward?" The World Gehrman Sparrow asked calmly.
1,000 pounds! No, 500 pounds. No, the bodyguard fee has to be deducted... Magician Fors thought about it and finally quoted:
"350 pounds."
It's very cheap. Except for the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm, most of the detailed information about Calderon City is only available to the Abraham family... Well, for Miss Magician, it's just asking the teacher. It's really simple and convenient. No wonder the price is not high... Klein was surprised at first, but then he was relieved. He let the dummy "World" nod gently and said:
"make a deal."
Audrey, who witnessed the transaction, noticed an interesting point:
Miss "Magician" seems to be very afraid of Mr. "World", to the point of being a conditioned reflex!
She had met Dwayne Dantès before, but she didn't know it was Gehrman Sparrow, and what terrible things did she find out? Well, she and Hugh will meet at Grallant's this week to see if she can ask anything... Audrey nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.
At this time, seeing that there was nothing else to do in the "world", Emlyn the "moon" turned his head and looked at the "sun" anxiously:
"Have you got the Beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 5 artificial vampire?"
“I haven’t accumulated enough merits yet.” This time, “Sun” Derrick was not ashamed. Instead, he felt that Mr. “Moon” was too anxious. How could it be so easy to accumulate the merits required for the Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic?
Emlyn the Moon turned his head back unhappily, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Miss Magician:
“There are clues about the cursed objects and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit. I am waiting for the specific contents.
"This may not be giving you the item directly, but providing you with intelligence, telling you where the ancient ghost is haunting near Backlund."
At this point, Emlyn thought for a moment and said:
"300 pounds."
In other words, I need to hunt down that ancient vengeful spirit myself? In various mystical rumors, this is a very powerful monster... After hearing what Mr. Moon said, Fors's first reaction was embarrassment. His second reaction was, why not entrust the hunting task to Mr. World? He would definitely be able to complete it quickly and smoothly!
But thinking that the cost of hiring Mr. World would definitely far exceed the value of the ancient vengeful spirit, she thought it would be better to try it herself.
When Xio becomes the Interrogator, the chances of success will be much better if we work together... I also have Lemano's Travel Notes, which contains the Demigod-level Tornado and Angel's Embrace. It also contains many strange Beyonder abilities, which are almost artifacts below the High Sequence... Well, I don't have much combat experience, and I just run away most of the time. This is an opportunity... Magician Fors quickly made a decision and said to Emlyn, The Moon:
"make a deal."
After confirming some other things, the transaction ended. Klein asked World Gehrman Sparrow to get ahead of Mr. Hanged Man and looked around and said:
"I have conducted a preliminary investigation into the suicide case of Caron in Backlund."
