If The Fool had simply mentioned that there was some simple common sense recorded in Roselle's diary, Alger might not have made up his mind to pay the "reward" and get the answer. On the one hand, this was because the description of "simple" destroyed curiosity, and on the other hand, he was always wary of exchanging with The Fool, which would remind him of the examples of making deals with evil gods and demons.
But now, he knew the content of the so-called simple common sense and had a strong interest in it, but he could not understand some of the descriptions, let alone connect them with reality and grasp them deeply. So he asked uncontrollably but with absolute respect:
"Mr. Fool, what kind of reward do you want?"
Yeah! Audrey nodded slightly but frequently, indicating that this was also what she wanted to ask.
Although Derrick the Sun remained silent and had no extra body language, his unconscious gaze towards The Fool explained everything.
Klein, who was waiting for a similar response, smiled and said:
"Information related to the Secret Society."
“The Secret Order…” Alger, the “Hanged Man,” muttered to himself.
He was no stranger to this term, as he had been paid to explain to Miss Justice about many secret organizations, including the Secret Order.
Audrey and Derrick both frowned subconsciously. One was because their knowledge of the Secret Order was limited to what The Hanged Man had told them, and the other was because they had never heard of this organization.
Klein had long anticipated the feelings of the "Sun" and was not surprised. In his speculation, the area where the City of Silver was located became the "Forsaken Land of God" between the birth of the first blasphemous slate and the birth of the second blasphemous slate, which was a certain stage in the Third Age. It might even be the direct cause or manifestation of the Cataclysm. The Zaratul family only appeared on the stage of history in the Fourth Age, and the creation of the Secret Order was even in the second half of the Fourth Age. There was no possibility of overlap between the two.
If the Sun knew about the Secret Order, Klein would be shocked and would have to overturn some of his assumptions and reconstruct his understanding of the City of Silver, the God-forsaken Land, and the Zaratul family.
After a dozen seconds of silence, Alger, the Hanged Man, looked at the Fool in the gray fog and spoke after careful consideration:
"I will accept this commission and collect and investigate matters related to the Secret Order for you."
"Can you pay me in advance?"
It was not surprising that a being suspected to be a god was interested in an ancient and secretive organization. Alger had no doubts about this.
More importantly, after many gatherings, he gradually came to a guess in his heart, that is, Mr. Fool’s condition is not perfect, He may be in a certain predicament, and the various attempts He made and the actions of His followers in the north and south continents are all to free Him from the shackles and restrictions.
This might even involve the great secret that the Seven Gods no longer descended upon the real world after the Fourth Epoch... Alger's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he trembled a little, feeling that he had entered the realm of the gods.
After hearing the Hanged Man's request, Klein leaned back in his chair and nodded slightly:
"No problem."
"If the intelligence you gather exceeds the value of the answer, I will compensate you extra."
As for what is considered to exceed the value of the answer, of course it is up to the respected Mr. Fool to decide. If he has the ability to pay the extra compensation, it counts; if he doesn’t have the ability, it doesn’t count… Klein added silently in his mind.
Audrey's eyes lit up immediately and she raised her hand.
“I want to be part of this deal.”
Klein smiled and said:
"Can."
Frankly speaking, his main target was actually Miss Justice, because she was a local boss in Backlund and had also infiltrated several Beyonder circles. She was more well-informed in the Land of Hope than he was when he first arrived in the capital, and even more well-informed than the Hanged Man who had been active at sea for a long time.
——Based on the revelations from previous divinations, Klein believed that clues to the Secret Order would appear in Backlund, not anywhere else.
"Sun" Derrick listened silently, thought for a moment and said:
"I am willing to exchange the compensation I have accumulated before for an answer."
In the previous three-party transaction, he used the Sequence 8 "Mind Reader" formula to exchange for the Sequence 9 "Ode Singer" formula. Klein promised to compensate him, and his choice at the time was to accumulate it and prepare for the subsequent potion formulas and main materials.
Klein nodded and gave the explanation he had prepared long ago:
"The so-called similar sequences refer to several pathways that can replace each other at a high sequence."
"Let me give you an example. A Sequence 5 Gatekeeper on the Death God pathway can not only advance normally, but can also choose the Giant pathway, which is Sequence 4 Demon Hunter on the God of War pathway."
"This does not pose a risk of losing control, nor does it accumulate madness. It is not the same as taking the wrong potion."
"Of course, if it's not a similar sequence, half-madness is the best result."
"Interchangeable?" Audrey "Justice" blurted out, surprised and happy.
What surprised her was that the sequence path was not completely fixed. She was not forced to continue along the original path. If she wanted to change it, she did not have to pay the price of becoming half-mad and unable to advance. Among the twenty-two divine paths, there were special circumstances and similar sequences!
What made her happy was that she would have the opportunity to choose again in the future, just like choosing the items she was interested in at Philips Department Store. It would be a wonderful experience!
So that's how it is... Alger muttered to himself silently, feeling that he had suddenly understood a lot of things and solved many of the doubts that had accumulated in his previous personal experiences.
This news is so valuable! As expected of Mr. Fool, this simple common sense is enough to shock most of the mid- and low-sequence Beyonders and make them lose their composure. It is a great benefit! He sighed to himself.
"Sun" Derrick was a little disappointed, because he had no intention of changing the sequence at all. He wanted to become the "sun" that illuminates the darkness and drives away the curse.
However, he soon recalled an event in the City of Silver:
The former chief, a powerful person who had the greatest chance of breaking through the restrictions of the "Demon Hunter", built a mausoleum for himself, a mausoleum deep underground, and then moved in and made it his home.
After that, he appeared less and less, until the door of the mausoleum could no longer be opened.
At that time, the people of the City of Silver all believed that something went wrong with the chief's promotion, and he turned into a madman, close to being out of control, and eventually killed himself.
Now, combined with the description of the "Fool", the "Sun" suddenly thought of another possibility:
That chief might be trying to be promoted to a similar sequence!
During one of his experiences exploring the depths of darkness, he obtained the corresponding formula for the "God of Death" path, and the mausoleum might be a special requirement...but in the end he still failed? But why didn't he become a monster? What exactly happened to him in that dark mausoleum?
Silver City doesn't have sequence potion formulas after "Demon Hunter"?
As Derrick was thinking, he was suddenly awakened by Miss Justice's reserved voice:
"Mr. Fool, I want to ask, which pathways can be interchanged with the 'audience' pathway at a higher order?"
Sequence 4 "Demon Hunter", sounds great... It suits me very well, and it suits "Justice" very well! Audrey really appreciated the first high-sequence name she knew.
I want to know, too... Klein really wanted to answer Miss Justice's question like this.
Before he could speak, Audrey added in a tone that was not justified:
"I, I can pay for the answer to this question. How much gold pounds do you think would be a good idea? I think, I think, your followers will need a certain amount of funds for activities..."
At this point, she suddenly remembered that Mr. Fool’s followers had easily killed the pirate general Qi Lingos who possessed Creeping Hunger. They were obviously High-Sequence Warriors. She almost blurted out, “Sorry, Mr. Fool, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
But now that I have asked, I cannot back down! Come on, Audrey, maybe The Fool has weaker followers? Audrey bit her lip quietly, silently encouraging herself.
Gold pounds? Klein thought carefully and said:
"We will proceed with this transaction after we have gathered enough intelligence on the Secret Order."
As he spoke, he thought of his informant within the Psychological Alchemist Society, Daxter Guderian.
The captain and I both, both, sigh... Dust's identity as an informant can no longer be confirmed. I don't know whether this is a tragedy or a comedy... It's a pity that we can't contact him anymore. Otherwise, it would be most convenient to get the corresponding information about the "audience" channel from him... Klein raised the corner of his mouth.
"Okay," Audrey replied happily.
The conversation between the two made The Hanged Man, who was trying to ask similar questions, shut up and wait for enough intelligence about the secret society to be collected.
There was a brief silence of a few seconds. Audrey turned her head to look at Mr. Fool and raised her hand slightly.
After receiving an affirmative nod, she looked at the member opposite her and asked expectantly:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', my intelligence has allowed you to take down Vice Admiral 'Hurricane'. Do you have the complete pituitary gland of an adult colorful lizard dragon ready?"
This is one of the reasons why I returned to the sea... Alger nodded gently and said:
"I have obtained this extraordinary material you desired."
"But how can I give it to you?"
How to give it to me? How to give it to me... Audrey was stunned and fell into deep thought.
It is impossible to report my address directly... nor can it be reported through Xio and Fors, because that would expose the fact that I am a Beyonder... Well, it is not impossible. Emperor Roselle said that when two options have disadvantages, choose the one with the lesser degree...
At this moment, Klein's heart moved. He tapped the edge of the long table with his fingers and said with a smile:
"Miss, sir, are you willing to cooperate with me in this matter?"
