Chick? Could it be that the "Original Witch" was also a man before? Klein almost raised his hand to pinch his chin.
He once speculated that it was the existence of the evil god "Original Witch" that caused the "Assassin" path to mutate into a female and become fixed starting from Sequence 7. Who knew that Roselle's diary showed that the "Original Witch" might also have been a male at the beginning.
This can explain two problems. First, the "Original Witch" is not a natural deity, and she reached the position of Sequence 0 with the help of magic potions. Second, the purely negative changes in this path are contained in the Beyonder characteristics.
Roselle had speculated on the truth of the law of conservation of extraordinary properties, suspecting that all extraordinary properties came from and only came from the original creator, so they would not increase and the total amount would be fixed... Assuming it is true, does this mean that the creator of everything embraces everything, and the feminine, masculine, and neutral are one... and the "witch" path is the representative of pure femininity? Of course, that ancient book might indeed be fake... Today's Roselle diary contains a lot of information... As the thought flashed through his mind, Klein made the diary disappear in his hands.
"You can start now." He said to Justice, Sun and others with a smile.
The Hanged Man Alger immediately looked towards the World:
"Your 'Werewolf' extraordinary characteristic has been sold, and a craftsman paid 1,200 pounds to take it. According to the agreement, I will get 200 pounds of it.
"Also, I found a clue to the Deep Sea Naga's hair. Each strand costs 100 pounds, and you want five in total. If you have no problem with this deal, I will complete it as soon as possible."
Klein promised a higher percentage of the share in the matter of the Werewolf's extraordinary characteristics because he knew that the energy and risks that The Hanged Man had put in for this were greater than those of the vampire Emlyn White.
At this time, he thought for a moment and operated the "world" to respond:
"No problem. Give me five strands of deep-sea naga hair and 500 pounds in cash as soon as possible."
In this case, only the characteristics of the human skin shadow are left, and my gold pounds have also increased to 1,235 pounds. The two are not enough to match. If I don’t want to wait for the "Mechanical Heart" to explore the tomb of Amon’s family, then I need to have another 500 to 1,000 pounds to buy it directly when I come across it... Klein subconsciously thought about what other items or knowledge he had that could be exchanged for money.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the transaction partner has the ability to pay.
Upon hearing this, Audrey, Justice, raised her hand slightly and said without hiding anything:
"I want to buy three materials: a pair of mirror dragon's eyes, 50 milliliters of its blood, and the fruit of the elder tree."
Miss Justice got the formula for the Psychologist potion... Klein made a judgment instantly, and the Hanged Man came to a similar conclusion.
"...I will write to my teacher and hope he has one of these materials." Fors thought for a moment.
"Sun" Derrick nodded and said:
"I'll keep an eye on it, too. Corrupted mirror dragons are not uncommon, as are Elder Trees. Uh, in the City of Silver, there are also Beyonder traits left behind by the 'Psychoanalyst'. However, they are difficult to trade for, and are also easily suspected."
"Psychoanalyst" is an ancient name for "psychologist".
Their conversation reached Klein's ears, and he immediately manipulated the "world" to make Mr. Dummy speak in a gloomy and hoarse voice:
"I will ask around in my circle. By the way, please continue to help me find the characteristics of the human-skinned shadow."
"Okay." Audrey "Justice" turned her head confidently and looked across. "Mr. 'Hanged Man', I will also keep an eye out for the formula for the 'Wind-loving' potion you need."
She has joined the "Psychological Alchemy Society" and has a secret organization supporting her. There, many materials may no longer be scarce and can be obtained as long as enough price is paid.
The Magician Fors repeated:
"I will write to my teacher and ask him."
Seeing this development, Klein felt very relieved. After a long period of hard work, the Tarot Club finally opened up two major channels, the "Psychological Alchemy Society" and the Abraham Family. Many things will become simple.
The World chuckled and said:
"Your answers give me hope, but you also need to be careful to protect yourself and do it in a way that is as least suspicious as possible."
"Mr. World, you rarely talk so much." Audrey smiled and replied.
...I got a little carried away and didn't pay attention to the original personality of "The World" for a moment... Klein immediately made up for it and made "The World" laugh softly:
"You have become valuable enough. I hope that similar transactions can continue for a long, long time. That's why I'm reminding you."
"Thank you." Audrey greeted gracefully.
At this time, "Sun" Derrick hesitated and said:
"I'll give it a try too. I've completed several patrol missions recently and there's nothing unusual."
Very good... Klein said secretly, and made The World shut up.
After a brief silence, Alger, the Hanged Man, looked at Miss Justice thoughtfully:
"I want to know the details of the assassination of Duke Negan. What reward do you need?"
Why are you asking me? As someone who has close ties with the Church of Storms, shouldn't you already be fully aware of the details of this case? Audrey was stunned at first, but then she understood Mr. Hanged Man's intention.
What he wanted to ask was the organization or force that drove the Apostle of Desire, but he couldn't ask Mr. Fool directly, thinking that it was too abrupt and had the meaning of questioning. So, he went around in circles and opened the topic by asking me, gently shifting the focus to what he wanted to know... He knew that I was a noble lady and should be concerned about the assassination of Duke Negan, so he didn't worry that I wouldn't be able to answer... Mr. Hanged Man is really experienced... Audrey "Justice" curled her lips slightly and said:
"No, there is no need for compensation. Isn't it the purpose of our Tarot Club to exchange common sense intelligence about our respective regions for free?"
Only in this way can our Tarot Club grow rapidly! She thought with a sense of ownership.
"Your words make me ashamed." Alger, the "Hanged Man", was stunned for two seconds, then he put his hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly.
...Klein the Fool, who was shrouded in thick gray fog, laughed dryly in his heart.
Audrey pursed her lips and considered her words.
"With the help of a special scene and his ability to ignite intense emotions and desires, the Apostle of Desire completed the assassination of Duke Negan. At the cost of being seriously injured, he successfully broke through and sneaked into the sewer.
"By the time the Nighthawks caught up with him, he was already dead. The Black Emperor was also at the scene. This gentleman did not leave to silence him. His target was the organization that commissioned the Apostle of Desire."
That organization? Just as The Hanged Man was wondering to himself, Klein the Fool, who was sitting at the top of the bronze table, silently praised Miss Justice, then looked at her and casually reminded her:
“In the outside world, do not mention the name of that organization, and do not write it down.”
"Why?" Audrey asked in surprise.
Klein leaned back in his chair and responded calmly:
“Everything that is said must be known.”
Whatever is said must be known... Audrey "Justice" subconsciously looked at Mr. "Fool", only to feel that his blurry eyes hidden in the gray mist seemed to emphasize something.
Mr. Fool means that as long as you are not in His Kingdom, not talking to Him, and mention or write down the name of the Twilight Hermits, they will sense it in some way or with some object... That should be what he meant... It is an extremely secretive and personal organization! To some extent, it is even more terrifying than the Church of the Seven Gods... And Mr. Fool, and we, the Tarot Club, are tracking their tracks... Audrey felt that she understood a lot of things at once, and immediately straightened her back and said:
"As you command."
Whatever is said must be known... A secret organization whose name cannot be mentioned? A powerful organization that I know nothing about? Is this the force behind the "Apostles of Desire"? Mr. Fool is sending his followers to find them? The situation at the higher level of this world is indeed more complicated than I imagined, with more secrets that are beyond our imagination... Alger, the "Hanged Man", nodded slightly, feeling shocked and excited.
At this moment, he had an urge to pay a reward and exchange the name of the organization from Mr. Fool.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not necessary. Although understanding the situation at a high level would help him improve his future plans and play an important role in certain situations, he was currently only at the bottom of the middle sequence and had basically no chance of getting in touch with anything related to the mysterious organization. His more urgent need right now was the formula and materials for the "Wind-loving One", and he had to accumulate enough wealth for this.
After I am successfully promoted, I will find an opportunity to consult Mr. Fool... Alger, the Hanged Man, took note of this matter.
The Magician Fors was a little confused. The "Apostles of Desire" and the "Everything That Is Spoken Must Be Known" organization were completely different from what she had learned from the newspaper.
There are indeed many secrets and undercurrents behind the assassination of a duke... It's a pity that I can't write down the name of the organization, otherwise it will be a classic to use it as the villain in the novel... I still owe ten pages of diary, and I haven't bought the stomach of the soul eater yet. There is no need to spend money to understand such high-end things for the time being... Uh, the secrets and knowledge circulated in the Tarot Club are ten times that of Mr. A's gathering, or even more! Fors suppressed the curiosity of a writer.
As for "Sun" Derrick, since no one knows who Duke Negan is, it doesn't matter who assassinated him.
He sat silently and reservedly, as quiet as if he was in class.
After the matter of the Twilight Hermit Society came to an end, the Magician Fors looked around and asked tentatively:
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any way to solve the problem of too many Beyonder Characteristics of the same level accumulating?"
