Being stared at by so many people, Emlyn the Moon suddenly felt at a loss, vaguely realizing that he seemed to have asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.
Look at what I am doing, can't I have a vampire friend? Do you want to explain... No, what's wrong with vampires? I am a vampire, there is nothing wrong with admitting it! We vampires have a long history, a long life, and rich accumulation. We are a noble race! You are not particularly powerful, the items you just traded were at most level 6! As his thoughts flashed and changed several times, Emlyn White raised his chin and proudly added:
"Yes, I am a pure vampire."
No one asked him if it was true... Mr. Moon felt guilty, so he overreacted... Audrey Justice was appreciating Emlyn's performance.
Really a vampire... "Magician" Fors asked curiously:
"Mr. Moon, have you, the blood race, imitated humans and divided the titles of duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron to identify the strong people of different levels and statuses?"
"No, you humans imitated us!" Emlyn sat up straight. "Long before the Cataclysm, in the Second Epoch, we had the division of dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons in our clan. Those who have not yet fully mastered their own power are minors, while people like me are adults. If I advance one level, I will be able to obtain the title of baron, and then I will move up in sequence until I reach the duke. Above the duke are the queen and prince. At that time, you humans were still under the rule of the Giant King's Court, so it was impossible for you to invent titles!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Derrick, the "Sun" next to him, blurted out:
“There is no such record in the history of our Silver City.
"The division of the blood clan is based on the appearance of the first 'blasphemous slate'. Before that, it was vague and there were only titles such as patriarchs of different families and leaders of different regions. The top one is the ancestor Lilith. After that, it strictly corresponds to the magic potion system and is named according to different sequences."
Emlyn the Moon responded with disdain:
"The history of our blood race is written with long lives, and it cannot be overturned by a small, ordinary record of the Silver City."
Wait, they always mention the Silver City. Where is the Silver City? How come I have never heard of it... After refuting, Emlyn realized that he seemed to have overlooked something important.
“We in Silver City don’t make up history. Our records all come from ancient books that can be verified or the ruins of other city-states.” Derrick the Sun stressed with some grievance.
If no one stops them, I think they can argue about this issue until the end of the party... Although little "Sun" is honest, sincere, and introverted, he is very stubborn and persistent. Mr. "Moon" seems to be particularly concerned about the history of the blood clan... "Justice" Audrey is doing the daily sample observation of the "Mind Reader" with great interest.
At this moment, Alger interrupted the discussion between the Sun and the Moon:
"I know how the vampires can improve their strength."
Emlyn's attention was immediately diverted:
"Um, Mr. 'Hanged Man', what do you need in return? I can exchange it for some lost history held by the vampires."
The Hanged Man Alger smiled:
"No, we are all members of the Tarot Club, and this kind of information exchange is free."
Mr. The Hanged Man is truly a generous and noble man... Emlyn made a preliminary judgment in his mind:
"Thank you for your kindness."
Alger thought for two seconds and said:
"Vampires can also take potions to advance, but they must be the correct kind. Certain experiments have been conducted within the various churches, and the results have proven that this method is feasible, but I can't see the specific information."
"But the main ingredients of those potions are from my own race!" Emlyn the Moon rejected this approach.
The Hanged Man smiled and said:
"Never say absolutely. For example, I have a clue about the characteristics left by a blood baron. He died in a sudden conflict and had no time to find a successor. You can use potions to receive this legacy and prevent the blood clan's power from being lost."
This was an item owned by a great pirate that Alger knew. Because he didn't know what sequence or potion it corresponded to, he was never able to sell it, and the newly established "craftsman" channel was not very interested in it.
"Inheriting the legacy in the form of potions to prevent the blood race's power from being lost..." Emlyn suddenly felt that what Mr. The Hanged Man said made sense, so he changed the topic and asked, "What is the price?"
The Hanged Man Alger laughed and said:
"Between 4,000 and 5,000 pounds. I won't know the exact amount until I find the owner."
He hasn't communicated with the big pirate yet, but he believes that as long as the price is not outrageous, the other party will accept it, because for pirates, selling it is a profit, and the cost is not too great.
"5,000 pounds?" Emlyn the Moon said in astonishment.
With such a large sum of money, I can bring home a few dolls that I have been eyeing for a long time, and I can also equip all the dolls with a few new sets of clothes! Emlyn's first reaction was to give up such a deal, but he thought of the favor of the ancestor, the glory of the blood clan, and his identity as the savior of his clan, and he was very embarrassed for a while.
Alger did not urge him, but smiled casually:
"I know this is a difficult decision, you can take your time to think about it, there is no need to rush."
"Okay." Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Hanged Man is really... Justice Audrey muttered in her heart, then turned to look at Emlyn the Moon and said to all the members:
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there any news about the fruit of the Elder Tree and the blood of the Mirror Dragon?"
"Yes." Emlyn answered without hesitation.
He had made a fortune by purchasing extraordinary materials for a great detective before, so every time the vampires gathered, he paid close attention to similar intelligence.
Without waiting for Miss Justice to ask more questions, he continued:
"The fruit of the Elder Tree costs between 600 and 700 pounds, and the blood of the Mirror Dragon costs no more than 100 pounds. I don't remember the exact amount."
He gave the original price as stated by the seller, and then added frankly:
"But you have to pay me an extra 50 pounds, no, 100 pounds, you know, I have to take the risk and waste my time."
This was a method Emlyn learned from Sherlock Moriarty. He thought it was good and reasonable because agents also needed to be paid!
"Deal!" As soon as the other party finished speaking, Audrey happily chose to accept it.
She knew she could bargain in this matter, but she felt it was unnecessary, fearing that it would anger the other party and cause the deal to fall through.
For me, the most important thing is to advance to Sequence 7...Emperor Roselle once said that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem...Audrey's recent depressed mood has improved.
After the New Year's Eve party, she gained control of her own £400,000 fortune, but she had to hire several accountants and managers sent by her father.
At the same time, she received gifts of jewelry, horses, hunting dogs, famous paintings, etc., totaling more than 20,000 pounds, most of which came from her mother, two brothers and other members of the Hall family.
As for the cash, it was not much, only 5,000 pounds.
Because she requested to keep the Backlund smog incident secret, she did not receive any reward. All of this was transformed into political resources for Earl Hall. For this reason, the noble banker said that any expenses his little angel had in the field of mysticism in the future could be reimbursed.
Of course, Audrey didn't dare reveal that she was going to reach Sequence 7, and could only use her pocket money and private savings.
Well, I can pay off the balance of Greylint this month, and next month I can pay the 2,000 pounds owed to Mr. Fool’s followers...very easy... Audrey thought happily.
...Very rich... Emlyn the Moon almost failed to react, and then asked in confusion:
“How do I complete the transaction?”
Audrey smiled and explained:
"By offering a sacrifice to Mr. Fool."
She took the initiative to obtain the Fool's consent and performed the corresponding ritual requirements.
After Emlyn received the two pieces of parchment, he was stunned. This transaction method was beyond his imagination.
It was not until this time that he deeply realized that the Tarot Society was different from ordinary secret organizations.
Watching the members' transactions, Klein was quite pleased, because as time went on, the Tarot Club had more and more channels and resources to connect with, and it was much easier for each of them to accomplish their goals than before. They no longer always made demands but received no response.
Miss Justice, who represents the Psychological Alchemy Society, the Loen aristocratic circle, and the power of money; Mr. Hanged Man, who represents the Church of Storms and the resources of the sea; Little Sun, who represents the God-Forsaken Land and the City of Silver; Miss Magician, who represents the Abraham family and some of the lower-middle class Beyonders in Backlund; and Moon, who represents the Blood Clan, have made the Tarot Club’s resource and intelligence trading functions more and more perfect... They are all about to be promoted... Klein thought as he manipulated the World and spoke hoarsely:
"I have a clue about the remaining characteristics of a 'psychiatrist'. Miss 'Justice', do you still need it?"
The reason why Klein didn't compete with Emlyn for business was because he knew that Miss Justice had a pet from the same source, so he wasn't afraid that no one would want the items.
"Of course." Audrey barely hesitated.
Her idea was simple. If she encountered an enemy attack, it might not be enough to rely on herself to provide emergency support. It would be more appropriate to add the unexpected Susie.
"This will take some time, maybe a month or even two months," The World added in a low voice.
"No problem." Audrey felt no psychological pressure at all.
She knew that Susie had not yet digested the "Mind Reader" potion.
Phew, it's good that the deal is done. I hope that the "psychologist" can be freed as soon as possible... Miss Justice didn't seem to ask the price. In her mind, with the supervision of the "Fool", the price wouldn't be too outrageous. As long as it wasn't outrageous, she could accept it? Her financial situation has improved a lot recently... Klein asked "The World" to look at the "Hanged Man" and laughed softly:
“Would you be interested in helping me sell another item?
"The price is no less than 3,500 pounds, and I'll give you a 15% commission."
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Alger agreed first, then asked with interest, "What item?"
He was quite curious about the "world" and always felt that the other side knew a lot and had a lot of good things.
"It is a characteristic left behind by a Beyonder, equivalent to Sequence 6. Its main function is to change a person's appearance and body shape, and to grant him the ability to fight and control fire. Of course, the specific effect depends on the ideas and level of the craftsman." The World chuckled.
Changing my appearance and figure... I really want to... "Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Fors had the same idea at the same time.
The difference is that the latter just thought about it, but Audrey spoke with bright eyes:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', can I order a magical item made by 'The Artisan' using this property? As long as the appearance-changing effect is still there!"
Dad will definitely agree to buy a magical item with no serious negative effects! Audrey added in her mind with unusual ease.
