As the captain of the "Future", Cattleya had a deeper understanding of Frank Lee's hidden dangers than anyone else. She knew that the first mate's fantastic ideas could sometimes lead to terrible and crazy developments. If those "creations" could not be spread and lacked the necessary elements, Cattleya believed that this "world" would have been different.
Of course, if such a day really came, she would definitely get rid of Frank Lee first and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!
Without divinity, even if something succeeds, it will only be limited to a small area, unable to spread outward and bring about a major disaster... Simply advancing to Sequence 5 will not produce any qualitative changes, and Frank has been more restrained recently, concentrating on researching plants that can survive in the dark or grow by absorbing monster corpses... With her thoughts swirling around and twisting, Cattleya finally made a decision:
"How much money do you want in exchange for it?"
She could vaguely sense that the World Gehrman Sparrow seemed to be short of money recently.
"8,000 pounds. If you use a large amount of gold coins instead, you can get a discount." Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief and controlled the dummy "World" to answer.
Thinking that Frank Lee should be able to come up with such a large sum of money, and that he would definitely not be able to refuse the Beyonder characteristic of Druid, Cattleya hesitated for two seconds and said:
"Deal, give me a week to raise the money."
“No problem.” Klein asked the World Gehrman Sparrow to retract his gaze.
He now feels that he could have gotten full marks for this trip to the primitive island, if it had not attracted the attention of the being deep in the church. In less than half a night, he gained a "blasphemous card" that could not be measured by money, a magical item worth no less than ten thousand pounds, and possible 16,000 gold pounds, and he didn't have to pay taxes. Robbing a bank is not that fast!
It's a pity that the original island is gone. Otherwise, I could go there for a visit when I'm short of money... Klein's thoughts wandered when he saw Miss Justice looking at Mr. The Hanged Man and asked expectantly:
"Are there any fruits from the psychedelic wind chime tree?"
Audrey had actually anticipated the answer to this question, because Mr. World had gained so many Sequence 5 Beyonder Characteristics during this period, and Mr. The Hanged Man seemed to have had private cooperation with him in the previous week, so he should not have gained nothing.
Certain clues can be deduced from Mr. "The Hanged Man's" state of certainty and satisfaction... "Justice" Audrey has become more and more confident in her own "observation".
The Hanged Man Alger laughed and said:
"I was just about to tell you that I have got the fruit."
Great! Audrey controlled herself and didn't get too excited.
This meant that she had gathered all the ingredients for the "Hypnotist" potion, and she only had to wait for the "Psychologist" potion to be completely digested before she could attempt to advance.
And this won't be long! Audrey, who has become a listener and counselor to everyone's troubles in the aristocratic circle of East Chester County, thought to herself with great confidence.
Frankly speaking, if Audrey had not deliberately guided the nobles to speak, she really could not imagine that most of them, who were glamorous and smiling all the time, were under great pressure and had pains that others could not imagine. The changes of the times and the trends of society made many people worry about the future of their families and themselves. Of course, this was also related to the fact that they were not great nobles and had relatively insufficient resources.
These things made Audrey truly understand the concept of "personality mask" and realized that everyone would wear different "masks" when facing different goals.
After summarizing the situation in this regard, she digested a lot of the "psychologist" potion instantly, and her progress became significantly faster.
Maybe two weeks, maybe shorter or longer. Anyway, I should be able to become a "hypnotist" before returning to Backlund... "Justice" Audrey looked at "The Hanged Man" Alger with bright eyes and said:
"What do you want in exchange for it?"
Alger had just been promoted to Sequence 5, had obtained the "key" to the demigod gate, and was about to receive a powerful magical item. What he lacked most at the moment was money, so he spoke without hesitation:
"Two thousand pounds."
"Deal." Audrey responded quite easily.
She could easily take out this money herself without having to claim reimbursement.
After the deal was done, Audrey couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She finally didn't feel like she was going to fall behind.
During this period of time, she watched Fors become a Sequence 7, watched Mr. "The Hanged Man" approach a high Sequence, watched Mr. "The World" kill one Sequence 5 after another, and took out one corresponding Beyonder characteristic after another. However, she herself was still at the level of "Psychologist", at Sequence 7. She inevitably felt a little stressed and a little impatient. It was only through self-comfort and Susie's guidance that she did not have any emotional problems. Now, she can finally take a step forward and move towards Sequence 6!
Audrey was in a good mood and enjoyed the party more and more. She heard Ms. Hermit say to Mr. World:
"I can now respond to questions related to that drop of blood of the mythical creature."
“Do you need to communicate alone? Fool?” Klein asked while manipulating the World Gehrman Sparrow with great interest.
If I exchange it for knowledge, I will earn a lot of money for free! He thought expectantly.
The Hermit Cattleya looked around, pondered for a few seconds, shook her head and said:
"unnecessary.
"I can offer two kinds of rewards. One is to see the Wheel of Fortune card once. I believe you should know what this blasphemous card made by Emperor Roselle represents. The second is to provide a way to temporarily restore a certain amount of strength during the weak period.
"Please tell the angel what kind of reward he would be satisfied with."
Providing a way to temporarily restore a certain amount of strength during a weak period? Did the "Mysterious Queen" guess that it was related to the "Mercury Serpent"? This doesn't make sense. Angels clearly include Sequence 2 "Prophet"... but "The Fool" is not allowed to have an angel of destiny to serve him?
I don’t know if Will Anseth knows how to achieve Sequence 0 through his own path. If he doesn’t know, then looking at the “Wheel of Fortune” card once is an irresistible temptation for him. However, it is unlikely. He has lived for so long and is a Sequence 1. It is unlikely that he has not mastered the ritual of becoming a god...
Haha, I wonder what image Roselle has on the "Wheel of Fortune" card... a snake or other animal with the face of an emperor? Klein thought casually while he let the dummy "World" say:
"good.
"If the deal is finally reached, you will need to pay me an additional fee."
"What do you want, Hermit?" Cattleya asked cautiously.
The World Gehrman Sparrow laughed hoarsely:
"I want to meet the 'Mysterious Queen'. Don't worry, it's very simple. I just need her help."
Cattleya was silent for a while and said:
“I’ll do my best to facilitate it, but I can’t guarantee it.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Audrey "Justice" suddenly felt something was unreal:
Has the Tarot Club grown to this extent?
Apart from Mr. Fool, from the beginning, they could only trade basic knowledge of mysticism and sequence 9 potion formulas, but gradually developed to the point where members could trade "blasphemous cards" and the blood of mythical creatures...
It hasn’t even been a year yet!
It really feels like a dream... I have also grown a lot... Audrey sighed, and Cattleya continued to look at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and said:
"There's news on the 'Thief' path magical item you wanted."
As she spoke, she asked Mr. Fool to materialize a tweezer-like object.
The "tweezers" were off-white in color, and appeared to be made of two polished and inlaid finger bones, but other than that they were quite ordinary.
Cattleya introduced:
"It's called 'Severed Finger'. It can improve the stability and flexibility of your wrist and fingers, allowing you to easily steal items from the target's pocket without being detected. The negative effect is that you will develop 'kleptomania' when carrying it. The price is 500 pounds."
Corresponding to Sequence 9 "Thief"? Well, there is a certain degree of premium... Klein considered it and said:
"Okay, trade as soon as possible."
This way, he could conduct a preliminary exploration of the area in the sewer that was excavated by Hazel and eliminate any hidden dangers.
After the two of them finished talking, Magician Fors had already requested to buy it in advance, so that he could use it when the time came.
"I need a cursed object from an ancient vengeful spirit, as well as its remaining spirituality. Please keep an eye out for me."
After she received affirmative responses from the members, Emlyn the Moon glanced around, leaned back in his chair, and said to Derrick the Sun:
"Do you have any Beyonder characteristics corresponding to the artificial vampire Sequence 5?"
He didn't want to call the guy covered in pus in the mouth of a certain "Sun" a vampire, so he changed the term.
In his opinion, since those mutated vampires often appear in the darkness around the City of Silver, it should not be too difficult to obtain one or two Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristics.
Moreover, they obviously did not have the potion formula for this path, and they also lacked "craftsmen". They could only rely on luck to keep those extraordinary characteristics and see when they could actively corrode the surrounding objects and evolve into seals... "Moon" Emlyn tried to convince himself that he was helping the City of Silver, rather than asking for help from a certain "Sun".
Derrick the Sun was stunned for a moment, then answered very frankly without hiding anything:
"have.
"But, Mr. Moon, do you want to be covered in pus?"
Ah... Emlyn's expression was a little dull. He didn't understand for a moment whether the other party was mocking him or reminding him of something.
Seeing this, Derrick the Sun quickly added:
"They all have serious mental pollution residues, and without the potion formula, we in Silver City will not waste our energy to eliminate the problems inside."
So... this is a bit troublesome... "Moon" Emlyn nodded slightly and said:
"I see."
He did not discuss the possible transaction in depth, and planned to consult the high-level vampires first to clarify the issue of mental pollution within the Beyonder characteristics.
The transaction ended here, and the members of the Tarot Club began to communicate freely.
Audrey, Justice, looked at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and said hesitantly:
"Can I know where the characteristic of 'chaotic mentor' comes from? If it involves secrets, you don't have to answer."
She was preparing to persuade her father, Earl Hall, and also to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, the extraordinary people of the "Black Emperor" path might have certain relationships with the royal family and the military.
Klein laughed secretly and let The World answer:
"It came from a curly-haired baboon."
