Chapter 234: Islands and Ruins



Mr. World also got the potion formula and main ingredients of the Ocean Singer. How amazing! Derrick the Sun raised his eyes from the parchment in his hand and looked at the gentleman at the bottom of the bronze table.

In his heart, the strength of the "world" has leapt to a higher level, and it is now comparable to the weaker ones in the "Six-member Council"!

The "magician" Fors also had a similar exclamation, and his feelings became even deeper.

She remembered that when she first joined the Tarot Club, Mr. World gave her the impression of being gloomy and introverted. Apart from this, he had no other characteristics. Later, in the gatherings, he gradually showed his experience, breadth of knowledge, and what should be quite good abilities. It was obvious that he was a senior extraordinary person who had experienced a lot of things. He was the second only to Mr. Hanged Man in the Tarot Club.

Originally, this image was almost fixed in Fors' mind, but in recent months, Miss Magician found that the "world" had refreshed her cognition again and again.

He first got some very important news, and then sold a lot of extraordinary characteristics in a short period of time, which made people involuntarily suspect that he was an extraordinary killer active in the mysterious world. People felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, accompanied by a certain degree of joy, because this meant that certain commissions had a high success rate when finding Mr. "World".

When the new member "Hermit" appeared, "Magician" Fors thought that Mr. "World"'s brilliance would be completely overshadowed by the powerful lady. Unexpectedly, he quietly regained the "spotlight", making everyone a little afraid to look directly at him.

Getting the "Ocean Songster" potion formula, the corresponding main materials and the "Priest of Light" potion formula in succession within a week is simply not something that a human can accomplish!

It is indeed amazing. I admire this type of person who seems taciturn and ordinary, but is actually very capable. Alas, I don’t know when I can become a viscount. After this hunting competition, the reward that the winner can get should be a gift that is enough to make a vampire gain essential improvement... "Moon" Emlyn White quickly turned his thoughts back to his own affairs.

While expressing her admiration, Audrey, the "Justice", became increasingly puzzled by an incident that happened earlier:

Why has Mr. World, who is so powerful, never collected the diary of Emperor Roselle? Well, he is not like Ms. Hermit, who has joined the Tarot Club for a long time and still needs to be observed... It's not that he doesn't have needs. There is no need to collect the diary of Emperor Roselle and exchange it for corresponding things from Mr. Fool... So why doesn't he collect it?

Did he submit it privately? Why privately?

Audrey vaguely felt that Mr. World and Mr. Fool had a certain connection, but she couldn't be sure. After all, there were still many possibilities.

At this time, Alger, the "Hanged Man", was silent for a few seconds, then turned sideways and looked at the top of the bronze table and said:

“Dear Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with the World alone.”

Here it comes... Klein nodded expectantly and then blocked out the senses of others.

Alger waited for two seconds, then turned back to look at the World Gehrman Sparrow and said:

“I exchanged it for the coordinates of an original island unknown to others.

“Not only are there many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the northern and southern continents, but there is also an ancient relic of unknown age.

“At the beginning, huh, I discovered it with Qilingos. At that time, we didn’t have the ability to explore in depth, but he found some traces and suspected that there was something very precious and important hidden in the ruins. He believed that its value would not be less than one of the cards made by Emperor Roselle.

"I am not as strong as Qi Lingos, and I am not as deep as he is. I have no idea what he saw. I can only guess the situation from some words he said inadvertently."

...Mr. "Hanged Man"'s words contain a lot of information. It seems that he and "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qi Lingos have known each other for a long time. They have also explored together and discovered primitive islands and ancient ruins. It was also him who wanted to take advantage of Qi Lingos's absence from the sea to deal with the pirate general... "Hanged Man" is not a simple member of the Church of Storms. His past seems to be very complicated and contains many secrets... Well, the value of a primitive island is indeed not small. For a secret organization, this is the cornerstone to support the growth of personnel... Klein manipulated "The World" to pose in a pensive posture, trying to obtain more information from "Hanged Man".

Seeing that the World did not refuse, but did not agree either, the calmed-down Hanged Man Alger said calmly:

“There are traces of the existence of extraordinary demigod-level creatures on it. It should be of great value to you.

"I can swear to Mr. Fool that I am not lying."

When I get the potion formula of the "Strange Mage", I have to consider the acquisition of the corresponding main materials. At the level of demigod, money can play a much smaller role, and bartering is the most likely way to get what you want... The location of the demigod-level extraordinary creature is very important, and the ruins are also interesting... "World" no longer hesitated, and chuckled and said:

"make a deal."

The Hanged Man Alger did not immediately ask for the recipe for the Ocean Singer potion. Instead, he said:

"I have one prerequisite. I hope that when you explore that primitive island for the first time, I will be your companion. With Mr. Fool watching over everything, you don't have to worry about me having any bad intentions."

Klein thought about it and let The World nod:

"No problem. When I go to dangerous places, I will need some companions. I hope you have enough ability to keep up."

Alger was not annoyed by the other party's tone and breathed a sigh of relief:

"So, I hope your first exploration will be after I successfully advance. Of course, if I lose control due to the potion, this agreement will naturally be invalidated."

"Okay." The World replied nonchalantly.

The Hanged Man Alger stopped talking and, after obtaining Mr. Fool's consent, he materialized the parchment that contained the information about the primitive island.

It's right on the edge of the Rorsted Sea... The overall area is not small, equivalent to a Blue Mountain Island... Klein took the paper, quickly glanced through it, and roughly figured out where the original island was.

He quickly raised his head and said:

"The potion formula and main ingredients will be given to you after the party."

"Okay." Having made his choice, Alger no longer hesitated. Hearing this, his heart was filled with excitement, but he appeared calm on the surface.

The two of them had a private conversation that ended here. The Hermit Cattleya withdrew her gaze from the World and turned her head to the Magician Fors and said:

"The meteorite crystal has been obtained, 60 grams for 600 pounds."

So fast...Ms. Hermit is very efficient! Fors was pleasantly surprised and embarrassed.

After the party ended last week, she had received the blood crystals of the Lava octopus and paid 600 pounds for it. She only had 230 pounds left in her savings. Taking into account the 150 pounds of royalties she had just received this week, she still needed 220 pounds.

First, borrow some money from Xio for emergency use. She should have this much... Once you are promoted, make money! Make money! "Magician" Fors took a breath and said:

"Okay, let's trade at this time tomorrow."

Cattleya the Hermit said “hmm” and looked at Audrey the Justice without hesitation:

"The spinal fluid of the black hunting monitor lizard has been confirmed, 1,800 pounds. There is no clue about the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree for the time being."

"This is very good, better than I expected. Thank you, Ms. Hermit." Audrey thanked sincerely, not caring about the price at all.

She only recently discovered that establishing the "Antiquities Collection and Protection Fund" has another purpose, which is to make the use of her own funds more covert and less noticeable, so that her father and mother will not be able to detect the problem.

After finalizing the two deals, Cattleya looked around and said,

"Any clues about the blood of mythical creatures?"

Klein immediately manipulated the "world" and laughed hoarsely:

"Are you talking about purely mythical creatures?"

Pure mythical creatures? And impure mythical creatures? Justice Audrey and the others were puzzled, yet also very interested.

The Hermit Cattleya was stunned for a second and said:

"Pure blood, that is, angel blood. One drop is enough."

She had not introduced it in detail at the time because she thought that such high-end things would not appear in the Tarot Club for the time being, unless Mr. Fool was willing to provide help. And obviously, Mr. Fool did not need others to explain what mythical creatures were.

"I have some clues, but I'm not sure I can get them, and I have to wait at least three months." Klein manipulated the "world" to respond.

The other members of the Tarot Club were silent for a moment. They didn’t expect that “the world” even had clues about angels’ blood!

What on earth can't he do? "Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Fors and others once again refreshed their impressions of Mr. World.

Alger, the Hanged Man, suspected that the World wanted to borrow a drop of blood from Mr. Fool's angel.

After a brief silence, Emlyn, who suddenly realized that his improvement might not be as obvious as that of other members of the Tarot Club, asked weakly:

"Do you have any clues about my last commission?"

The Magician Fors immediately said:

"There is a suspicious situation. I will investigate it."

Burdened with debt, she is full of motivation to do things.

At the end of the transaction, "Sun" Derrick proposed to buy the root crystal of the Elder Tree, and the tail feathers of the Qi Ling Bird were in a special warehouse in Silver City.

In addition, he also purchased auxiliary materials such as gold-edged sunflowers, which are common in the outside world but lacking in the God-forsaken Land.

"The root crystals of the Elder Tree and those auxiliary materials are no problem." Emlyn the Moon said with a smile, "So, what can you use in exchange?"

The last time he offered the fruit of the Elder Tree to Miss Justice, he knew where the root crystal was.

"Sun" Derrick thought for a moment and said:

"A Beyonder characteristic corresponding to a Sequence 5 vampire?"

This is not a rare monster in the depths of darkness.

"Blood clan!" Emlyn gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry. I'll tell you when I figure out what I want."

He didn't want the items he traded to be duplicated with the rewards from the hunting competition.

"Okay." Derrick, who already owed a lot of debt to the "world", was quite calm.

After another period of silence, Klein the Fool tapped the edge of the mottled long table, signaling the start of the free exchange session.

PS: There is a question that I have to discuss. It is about why I broke down the idioms and changed them into more cumbersome descriptions. Because the background of this book is Western, I tried my best to make the language style non-abrupt. In addition to Russell's diary and Xiao Ke's psychological language, I tried my best to change the idioms with more Chinese characteristics to make the overall description more appropriate.

Originally, someone said that I added a few more words and a sentence, and I could tell that they were teasing me or joking, so I just laughed it off and there was no need to explain anything. But now, perhaps influenced by those who said that I added more words, quite a few people actually think that I deliberately added more words and that there is something wrong with my attitude towards words, so I have to defend myself.

Actually, when I am in a good state and have plenty of time, I will think about how to change the idioms and avoid the contradiction of language style. When time is tight or I can't think of a good statement, I will directly use the idioms. When you say I am watering down the word count, it is actually when my writing attitude and state are good. If I really want to water down the word count, what is the point of a few words in a paragraph? It wastes my time to think about how to change it. It is much cleaner and more direct to use idioms directly. I can write several more sentences with this time.
