Chapter 54: Singing in unison



The World looked around and said:

"I hope to obtain information about all the impoverished nobles in the Kingdom of Loen, including their current addresses. The more detailed the better."

He did not mention Baronet Pound directly because Detective Sherlock Moriarty was investigating an underground building case involving the Pound family.

Klein doesn't want "Justice" to figure out the identity of "the world" based on this.

Don't ignore every detail! He emphasized to himself again.

Audrey was stunned for a moment, and once again looked at the member at the end of the bronze table, and asked tentatively:

"what you up to?"

The World laughed hoarsely and said, "You don't need to worry. I'm just looking for something. I won't cause any harm to them. I can swear to this, and Mr. Fool can be a witness."

Mr. World is really good at controlling his body language... Is his job to be the nemesis of "audience" and "mind reader"? Audrey nodded thoughtfully:

"I know some information about the ruined nobles, but it's not detailed, specific, or comprehensive enough. I need some time to complete it, probably three or four days. Is that okay?"

As a noble, it was a compulsory course to know people of the same level. When attending various balls, banquets, and salons, Audrey always heard interesting stories. However, these were all fragmented and difficult to form a whole. After all, she was not an expert in this field. She still needed to flip through books, inquire and check information to fill in the details without missing any impoverished nobles.

"No problem. World," he said with a deep laugh, "What kind of reward do you want? What I can pay you right now is: some secret history of the Fourth Epoch, knowledge about some extraordinary paths, and a few formulas. But frankly speaking, I don't think the things of those ruined nobles can be equivalent to the formulas of Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 potions. Ha, if you make other requests, I will try to complete them."

It is not equivalent to the potion formula of Sequence 8 and Sequence 7, which means that I cannot make the corresponding request of "psychiatrist"... "Justice" Audrey thought seriously.

During this process, she secretly glanced at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the ancient long table, hoping to get some hints. As a result, she found that Mr. Fool was shrouded in gray mist and had no reaction at all, as if a god was watching the earth.

Okay... Audrey finally made a decision and smiled:

"I want to hear about some extraordinary avenues, but only if I don't know them."

"Dear Mr. Fool, can you make a judgment?"

“Okay.” Klein replied calmly.

"Then let's talk privately." Audrey looked at the "world".

At this time, Klein tapped the table lightly, blocking the sight and hearing of The Sun and The Hanged Man.

He deliberately nodded to Xiaohao, indicating that they were now in a state of private communication.

The World looked at Miss Justice and said in his usual hoarse voice:

"What do you know about the Witch Cult?"

Audrey recalled the information she had bought from the Hanged Man Alger for 1,000 pounds last time, and replied briefly with caution:

"I know what they believe in, what era they originated from, what extraordinary methods they control, and what the inclinations of the top leaders are."

The World laughed hoarsely:

"I see, you don't know much."

"The Witch Cult controls the 'Assassin' path, and Sequence 8 is the 'Instigator'."

"I know that." Audrey said half in a warning and half in expectation.

The World raised his hand, touched his chin and said:

"Then do you know what the corresponding Sequence 7 is?"

Audrey shook her head slightly: "I'm happy to hear your story."

"Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' pathway is called 'Witch'. World," he said succinctly.

"Witch?" Audrey was startled by the word, and naturally had a corresponding association in her mind, "If, if a man took this potion, how should he act?"

Wearing a beautiful dress, putting on exquisite makeup, and imitating every move of a lady? She whispered in her heart, feeling a little disgusted but inexplicably amused.

“No, Miss Justice, when a man takes this potion, he can no longer be called a man. He has become a real lady.” Klein suppressed the urge to click his tongue and manipulated the World to answer.

"Goddess, can the witch potion change a person's gender?" Audrey blurted out.

This, this is unimaginable! Mr. Fool did not deny it, which means it is true! This is simply a miracle! This is the mysterious and extraordinary world, this is a world full of all kinds of incredible things! This is the world I yearn for! Why am I a little excited... After calming down a little, Audrey glanced at Mr. Fool quickly and guiltily, and confessed a little for reciting the name of the Goddess of Night in front of Him.

The World said in a low voice:

"Yes, but it can only turn men into women. Women will improve their charm accordingly. Whether it's their looks or their skin condition, they will become significantly better than before. This is why the top leaders of the Witch Cult are all women."

"What are its disadvantages?" Audrey was suddenly tempted.

The World replied at a moderate pace:

"The role requires you to be the evil one who brings disaster, disease and suffering."

Audrey let out a small breath, feeling slightly disappointed.

Her thoughts turned quickly, and she immediately had new doubts:

"If, I mean if, an animal takes the 'witch' potion and does not die or go out of control, does its increased charm mean turning into a human, or increasing the attractiveness of its own species? For example, a female cat that all male cats and cat lovers love madly?"

The World didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a few seconds, it said:

“I haven’t researched this sort of thing.”

Without waiting for Audrey to ask again, he added:

"The Sequence 6 corresponding to 'Witch' is 'Pleasure', also known as the Pleasure Witch. The role requirement is to bring pleasure to men and women, mainly in that aspect, and use it to control or influence them. Witches of this sequence are very good at using strange spider silk."

Audrey opened her beautiful mouth, then closed it tightly in silence, deeply regretting her previous yearning.

"Knowing this knowledge, you will be able to effectively identify witches in the future. Haha, are you satisfied with this reward? World asked.

Audrey nodded slightly and said:

"This is very helpful to me. Um... the deal is done. I will help you collect information about the impoverished nobles as soon as possible and give it to you at the next gathering?"

The World groaned for a moment and said:

"Can it be as soon as possible?"

“Then I will dedicate it to Mr. Fool once I have collected it, and ask Him to give it to you, Mr. Fool, is that okay?” Audrey asked with her head tilted.

Klein nodded in agreement in the thick gray fog.

At the same time, he was busy manipulating the "world" and whispering:

"Him?"

This is a problem with the different types of personal pronouns.

Noticing the surprise of the "world", Audrey curled the corners of her mouth slightly, turned her eyes upward, and deliberately did not explain.

Klein knocked on the long bronze table, indicating the end of their private conversation.

Then, he manipulated the "world" again and said:

"I have another question."

The newcomer had indeed accumulated a lot of needs... Audrey looked over without surprise.

"The Hanged Man" Alger and "The Sun" Derrick also used body language to indicate that they were listening.

The World said in a deep voice:

"I want to know if there are any high-sequence warriors in the Soran family of Intis."

As The World spoke, Klein glanced at The Sun from the corner of his eye and found that the young man had no additional reaction.

It seems that there is a high probability that there is no record of the Sauron family in Silver City... This family probably rose to prominence after the Cataclysm... Klein looked around thoughtfully and found that "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" looked at each other, obviously not knowing the answer, and "The Sun" was undoubtedly confused and silent.

So he tapped the table again and said:

"Let me answer this question. What can you pay me?"

Before he finished speaking, Klein quickly manipulated the "world" and spoke:

"A formula, a formula for Sequence 7."

“Okay, deal.” Klein created an environment for private communication and stared at his trumpet in silence for a few seconds.

The shielded Audrey of Justice and Alger of the Hanged Man once again felt the unfathomable depth of Mr. Fool. They were both somewhat curious about the answer, but felt that it was of no use to them and was not worth exchanging for something equivalent to the Sequence 7 potion formula.

After the private conversation ended, Klein deliberately asked the World to bow and said hoarsely:

“Dear Mr. Fool, thank you for your answer. It is very helpful to me.”

"This is an equal exchange. No need to thank me." Klein replied indifferently, suppressing the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on his skin.

The free communication that followed lasted less than ten minutes. He announced that the Tarot Club was over and immediately cut off the connection with the crimson stars.

When the figures of Justice, the Hanged Man, and the Sun turned into streams of light and disappeared, Klein looked at the "world" opposite him and chuckled.

"With the trumpet, many things are indeed much more convenient."

"It's just that the Eye of Darkness cannot be used outside of the gray fog, what a pity."

As he spoke, he manipulated the "world" to stand up and bow, then let it dissolve into the majestic palace.

Because he had to concentrate on operating the trumpet, Klein's spiritual energy was greatly consumed. He did not continue to stay in this space. He took off the "Eye of All Blackness", placed it on the surface of the long bronze table, and immediately returned to the real world.

At this moment, outside the tightly closed curtains was the sunlight that was rare in Backlund's autumn and winter.

Klein didn't go to appreciate it. He fell asleep for half an hour and recovered some of his energy.

After waking up, because of Miss Justice's promise and the fact that things were not urgent, he did not plan to go to the library to look up information. He decided to go to one of the many cemeteries outside Backlund before dark.

Klein was going to test the impact of Azik's copper whistle and figure out its range and limitations!

Of course, the experiment would not be conducted until after dark, and the reason for going now was that hiring a carriage to go to the cemetery in the evening would seem very strange and would attract a lot of attention.
