Rubbing his forehead, Klein was about to try to split another "Spirit Bug" when he suddenly saw Renette Tinicole, who was wearing a gloomy and complicated long dress, walk out from the void and stand next to the desk.
In the mouth of one of the messenger lady's heads was a neatly folded letter.
"Whose is it?" Klein asked casually.
The other three heads of Renette Tinicole answered in turn:
"Mushroom..." "King..." "Of..." "Boss..."
Mushroom King? Klein was stunned for two full seconds before he realized that it might be Frank Lee.
Frank Lee's boss is "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya.
"The Mushroom King is referring to Frank Lee?" Klein asked in a confirming tone as he reached out to take the letter.
The four bright heads with blond hair, red eyes and beautiful faces moved up and down with their hair held up, as if nodding.
The messenger lady also gives people nicknames... No, Frank is not only good at mushrooms. His "fields" include cattle, wheat, fish, and rose bishops... Is this a breakthrough in Frank's mushroom experiment? The messenger lady saw a boat full of mushrooms? Klein couldn't help but take a breath and quickly unfolded the letter.
He was worried that this was a letter from the "Hidden" lady asking for help.
Of course, he was not in such a hurry, because when it really came to the last moment, the experienced pirate Admiral of the Stars would definitely choose to pray to Mr. Fool.
The letter was indeed from Captain Cattleya of the Future, and it read simply:
“…The Queen has confirmed the time and place: Wednesday evening at eleven o’clock, at the usual place.
"...I don't know exactly what you said to Frank Lee, but I can see that he has been very excited recently. He has been doing a lot of experiments with the 'craftsman' and said that in three to six months, they will be able to produce interim results. He also said that if they could have a 'Druid' potion formula, they might be able to skip all the intermediate products and get the final result directly. All I can say is, I wish you good luck.
"...I hope this can all end before the 'Craftsman' completely collapses. He has begun to repent of his belief in the 'Primal Moon'..."
Should I be happy that Silver City's food security problem will make progress, or should I worry about whether there will be any accidents? Klein rubbed his forehead again and decided not to think about it for the time being. Anyway, there is the "Hermit" lady who is about to become a demigod to watch over him. If there is any unexpected change, she will definitely ask for help.
Phew… He heaved a sigh of relief as he had finally arranged a meeting with the “Mysterious Queen”. He flicked his wrist, causing red flames to rise from the letter paper.
After watching the messenger lady leave, he was about to continue separating the "Spirit Bug" when he suddenly frowned, feeling that the remaining letter paper on the surface of the desk and in the trash can was extremely glaring.
Subconsciously, Klein pulled out a tissue and wiped the surface of the desk, then closed the lid of the trash can.
After doing all this, he looked at his slightly dirty hands, stood up, went into the bathroom, and turned on the faucet.
While cleaning, he saw the toilet next to him out of the corner of his eye and his brows furrowed again.
“I didn’t clean it thoroughly enough today…” Klein muttered to himself, suddenly realizing that something was wrong with him.
As the thought flashed through his mind, he quickly figured out the whole thing with his strong spiritual intuition:
This is the aftereffect of using the "Death Knell" revolver!
Because he has become a demigod, his spirit has undergone a qualitative change and has acquired divinity, so the corresponding negative effects have been weakened by more than 90%. This time, he should have developed the horrible weakness of "fear of dirt", but instead he gained the "attribute" of mysophobia.
Likewise, the duration of Weakness has been reduced from 6 hours to less than 1 hour, and the thirst caused by Deathstroke is no longer as noticeable.
“Not bad…” Klein breathed a sigh of relief and skillfully pulled out the toilet brush next to him.

At 11 o'clock that night, above the gray fog, at Emlyn White's request, Justice, Star, Judgment, Magician, and Hanged Man, who were participating in this punishment operation, appeared in the ancient and majestic palace.
"Here are all the spoils of war." Emlyn the Moon threw the 3,000 pounds of cash that he had just offered up onto the center of the table and explained, "One of the magical items is called the Rose Oath. It's a pair of rings that allow the wearer to share senses and transmit thoughts within the confines of an ordinary city, no matter how far apart they are. It's very valuable, but I only got one of the rings this time. It would be very dangerous to give it to anyone, so I handed it over to the top of our blood clan and received a reward of 3,000 pounds in cash."
He originally wanted to take the 3,000 pounds as his own spoils, but after thinking about it, he decided to sacrifice it to the gray fog as one of his options.
After a pause, Emlyn introduced other items, explaining their positive and negative effects one by one, and also explained their origins and extensions. This knowledge was partly derived from his interest in the history of the blood race, and partly from Ernes Boyar's explanation under the watchful eyes of Father Utravsky.
It seems a bit like showing off… Otherwise, with Mr. Moon’s personality, he wouldn’t say so much in one breath… Well, it’s also because Mr. Fool is not here and he is in a more relaxed state… Audrey “Justice” is like a bystander, and she didn’t take the initiative to choose the spoils.
The Hanged Man Alger glanced at the spoils, then turned to Emlyn the Moon and said:
"Have you met with the top leaders of the Blood Clan? Has the matter of hunting down important members of the Rose School been finalized?"
"It has been tentatively finalized, and we have also contacted the temperance member, but he hopes that the action will not be advanced until after September." Emlyn the Moon did not hide anything, fully believing that Mr. The Hanged Man would provide useful opinions.
Sure enough, Alger, the Hanged Man, nodded and said:
“We have to wait until after September?
"This means that they are waiting for something that will have a great impact on them..."
Klein, who was waiting for the party to end at the other side of the ancient palace, was moved when he heard this. He suspected that this was related to Miss Sharon's promotion.
According to Miss Sharon, she can try the demigod ritual in July... Could it be that this ritual will last at least a month before it is considered over? If this is true, it is different from other methods... Klein has some guesses, but he is not sure.
"It's possible." Emlyn the Moon thought for a moment and agreed with Mr. The Hanged Man.
Then he looked around and said with a smile:
“You can start choosing now.”
"Justice" Audrey had the "Luck Stealer" spell promised by Mr. "World", and "Star" Leonard also received the corresponding reward from old man Pales. They were all very calm and sober about the spoils "given" by the vampire viscount. No one spoke first, and everyone politely waited for others to choose first.
In addition, one of them had personally experienced the battle at the angel level, the other had witnessed the horror of Amon's clone, and both had confirmed that the Tarot Club had a powerful hidden force, so it was inevitable that they were mentally exhausted at this time.
Judge Xio looked to the right, then across, and seeing that everyone was being modest, he took the initiative to break the silence:
"My part is simple, and I don't have to take too much risk. Besides, Mr. Moon has paid me 60 pounds in advance. I just want the cash in this wallet."
As she spoke, she took the handmade wallet, pulled out the bills inside, counted them quickly and said:
"335 pounds."
Emlyn the Moon looked around and nodded when he saw no one objected.
"good."
As for the handmade wallet, "Judgment" Hugh threw it back into the center of the table and gave it back to Mr. "Moon" to deal with.
With Xio taking the lead, the "magician" Fors spoke:
"I just lent out 'Lemano's Travel Notes' without taking any risks. I'll take the 'Moon Paper Man'..."
Compared to magical items, this kind of one-time extraordinary thing is of relatively lower value.
However, for the "magician" herself, even if she is qualified to choose magical items, she will not do so, because if she really needs certain abilities of those magical items, she can pay the corresponding members to "record" them. However, the "Moon Paper Man", a disposable item that can bear fatal damage and mental piercing on its behalf, cannot be "recorded". For those who are timid and afraid of death, this is definitely the first choice.
After she finished speaking, she waited for a while, and seeing that no one objected, she took the "Moon Paper Man" in front of herself.
Emlyn then turned his gaze towards Miss Justice, and Leonard the Star also extended his hand and said with a smile:
"Ladies first."
Audrey "Justice" did not refuse. She glanced at the items on the table, pointed at the diamond tie pin, and said with a smile:
“I choose it.”
She had just heard Mr. "Moon" mention it, and knew that it was called "Alcohol Killer", which could keep the wearer energetic and clear-minded, and effectively fight against mental influences.
Fortunately, I used "Bribery-Charm" beforehand for safety, and Ernes just woke up from a dream and was in a semi-comatose state, otherwise, I might not be able to hypnotize him... This item is also useful to me, at least it provides an extra layer of protection when facing higher-level members of the Psychological Alchemy Society... I don't have to wear it at other times, and don't have to worry about negative effects... Audrey withdrew her gaze from the diamond collar pin with a little relief and satisfaction.
After she finished her selection, Emlyn the Moon did not give Leonard the opportunity to speak, and said directly:
"This 'Moon Ribbon' is yours."
In his opinion, the "Moon Ribbon" was worth more than 5,000 pounds, which was definitely better than 3,000 pounds in cash.
Actually, I kind of want 3,000 pounds in cash... I'm going to buy the "Sea Words" cane next. Klein's discounted price is 10,000 pounds... After spending this, I will only have 650 pounds left in savings... Leonard finally did not refuse and nodded:
"good."
After distributing the spoils, Emlyn the Moon picked up the remaining 3,000 pounds in cash, divided it into a stack, and pushed it aside, saying:
"Mr. The Hanged Man, this is your reward, 1,000 pounds."
“It should be said to be consulting fees.” Without Mr. Fool around, Magician Fors was much more relaxed.
The Hanged Man Alger didn't hesitate to nod and held the stack of bills with his hand.
"I will also pay for the compensation to the driver." Emlyn the Moon looked around again in a good mood.
…………
Wednesday night at 11 o'clock, the south bank entrance of Backlund Bridge.
A figure quickly appeared in the deep night, with one hand on his top hat and the other on the buttons of his formal suit.
He has black hair, brown eyes, clear features, and a stern expression. He is none other than the strongest adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow.
