Chapter 99: Unsuccessful Disguise



After Derrick the Sun finished speaking, Klein controlled the World and nodded:

“More detailed than I thought.”

"Deal done."

Before the "world" finished speaking, Klein had already successfully lifted the shield on "Justice", "The Hanged Man", and "The Magician".

The scene was silent for a few seconds. The "world" looked around and smiled grimly:

"I don't have any other needs for now."

After figuring out the process and features, Fors was eager to try it out and wanted to purchase the Sequence 8 "Master of Magic" corresponding to "Apprentice".

She clearly remembered that Mr. Fool had said that the reason she was troubled by the full moon whispers was because her life level was not high enough, and that the pain would decrease as her life sequence improved.

This made Fors eager to obtain the subsequent formula.

However, this will expose the extraordinary path I am in... Once everyone becomes familiar with each other and knows more about each other, it will be exposed. It is not a serious matter, but I still have to cover it up in the next few gatherings to avoid being used by the gathering members to target the real me... Fors thought about it calmly and said:

"I want the formulas of 'Pharmacist' and 'Master of Magic'. I'll trade them for money."

She deliberately added the "pharmacist" formula to her real needs in order to interfere with other people's judgment. If any member really had this formula, she would take it as usual, and then sell it to Viscount Greylint, who had longed for the formula, at a higher price. Anyway, she would definitely not suffer any loss from this, and might even make a fortune.

As for money, Fors was not short of it for the time being. Not only were the royalties from her best-selling books still flowing into her account one by one, but she also had additional income, such as the 650 pounds she received from Miss Audrey in the two incidents of Qilingus and Intis Ambassador Baker.

Poor Hugh, he paid out of his own pocket to provide compensation to the families of the two victims of the Lanevus incident, spending more than two hundred pounds. I wonder if Miss Audrey will reimburse her when the storm is over... The note with the name of Mr. Fool was found in the book compartment of Viscount Glint's house. Could it be that one of his ancestors was a member of this party? Is this a party that has been held regularly for dozens or even hundreds of years? Fors's thoughts suddenly became a little scattered.

"Justice" Audrey, who was only two seats away from her, was slightly stunned when she heard the other party asking for the formulas of "Pharmacist" and "Magic Master", but she accurately grasped the other party's thoughts.

"She is Fors! The 'Master of Magic' is for herself, and the 'Pharmacist' is sold to Greylint, so as to confuse people and deceive others..." Audrey nodded slightly, and was certain of the identity of the "magician".

The sequence itself would not be high, at most 8, most likely only 9. No one knew where Mr. Fool had brought him from, or what was so special about him... His accent had Backlund characteristics, but he might not be from Backlund... Alger, the Hanged Man, was also observing the new member, and had preliminarily confirmed that he would not pose a threat to him.

"Sun" Derrick didn't think too much about it. He just speculated whether Miss "Magician" belonged to the Silver City area or the world where Miss "Justice" and others lived.

Klein looked at Miss Magician with pity, not holding out hope for her attempt to hide her identity.

When you meet a mind reader who is very familiar with you, even if you know the other party's abilities in advance and take corresponding precautions, you may not be able to conceal your true thoughts, not to mention that you know nothing... Klein the Fool sighed for Miss Magician in his heart.

At the same time, he manipulated the "world" and said hoarsely:

"I have the recipe from the 'Pharmacist', 230 pounds."

"As for the formula for the 'Master of Magic', I will try my best to find it for you, but I cannot guarantee success."

There is no contradiction between exchanging the "Pharmacist" formula for money and using it to train a useful helper. Both can be done at the same time. Therefore, Klein let "The World" speak first to avoid being intercepted by "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun".

As for the formula for the "Master of Magic", he just had some ideas.

In his opinion, the mysterious item "Master Key" was most likely related to the Sequence 9 "Apprentice" corresponding to the "Master of Magic". If he divined its source above the gray fog, he might be able to find some clues.

Well, in fact, the most convenient way is to ask the person suspected to be Mr. "Gate". He keeps whispering during the full moon. In addition to asking for help, he probably also teaches formulas and role-playing methods to make the target stronger and complete difficult tasks. But unfortunately, before the target becomes stronger, it is impossible to listen to his mumblings. Once he hears them, he will collapse and show signs of losing control, which forms a vicious circle... Klein sighed.

Fors did not rush to respond to Mr. World's words. Instead, she looked around and found that The Hanged Man, Justice, and The Sun had no intention of speaking.

Obviously, they didn't know what the specific recipes of the "Pharmacist" and "Master of Magic" were.

"Mr. World, I hope you can find the magic potion formula of the Magic Master as soon as possible." Fors was silent for a few seconds and said, "As for the formula of the Pharmacist, I am going to buy it now. How should I pay for it?"

The other party seemed to be from Loen as well, and was willing to accept gold pounds... However, gold pounds have always been more recognized than coins such as goldhorns and intifers... While speaking, Fors was also judging the origin of the "world".

The World didn't care about her gaze at all and said in a low voice:

"When you return, give the cash to Mr. Fool, and the transaction will be completed."

"The specific process of sacrifice is..."

Sacrifice? Mr. Fool could accept sacrifice? His life level had reached this level? No wonder he used that tone to describe the owner of the full moon's whispers... Fors was shocked and astonished, yet she took it for granted as she listened and memorized.

After finishing his story, Klein materialized the "Pharmacist" formula in front of the "world" and had the dummy hand it to Miss "Magician":

"The transaction was witnessed by Mr. Fool, so you don't have to worry about it being fake."

“I believe in Mr. Fool.” Fors nodded immediately, unfolded the formula, and memorized it carefully.

At this time, Audrey, who couldn't bear to see her acquaintance suffer so much, said:

"You can ask Mr. Fool to help you recall while offering the sacrifice. You don't need to remember specifically. If you encounter any problems, you can also pray to Him by reciting His name."

He? Miss Justice actually used the personal pronouns that represent the gods to address Mr. Fool! He, He... Could it be that it is really 'He'? But why is He willing to help with these little things... No, as long as the ritual magic is appropriate, the seven orthodox gods will often respond to believers and fulfill their requests... Fors turned his head to Justice and said:

"Thank you for the reminder that your title is your character."

…Audrey suddenly felt a little guilty.

She immediately thought of another question and said quickly:

"Miss Magician, do you know the "acting method"?

"Acting?" Fors looked at the other party in confusion.

She soon discovered that members such as "The Sun" and "The Hanged Man" had no additional reactions to the term and were clearly aware of what it meant.

Today's party made me feel like a country girl who just arrived in Backlund... After all, I have participated in so many Beyonder gatherings! Fors thought with half sadness and half joy.

She couldn't help but want to write a book based on this emotion and feeling, and it was called.

"You don't seem to know." Audrey made a positive judgment based on the other party's reaction and usual performance.

She turned around, looked at the head of the ancient long table, and said to the figure shrouded in thick gray fog:

"Mr. Fool, can you tell Miss Magician how to act?"

"If so, what price will she have to pay?"

Audrey originally planned to ask directly whether she could still exchange it for a new Roselle diary as before, but then she remembered that Fors's circle of Beyonders overlapped greatly with her own. In this way, she would lose many opportunities to obtain Roselle's diary.

This is not a very important issue. Sooner or later, Fors will know that Mr. Fool needs the Roselle diaries, and I will definitely have other Beyonder circles. However, she knows that I have a few pages of Roselle diaries. If she wants to collect them, the first person she will look for must be me. But Mr. Fool has read all my diaries... After this party, I have to find a chance to tell Fors that those Roselle diaries were accidentally lost... "Justice" Audrey deduced the chain reaction, trying her best to show her worries to Mr. Fool with body language.

What is Miss Justice hinting at? Well, she knows Fors, but she doesn't want to reveal her identity. In other words, she doesn't want the reward I offer to cause trouble in this regard... Klein chuckled thoughtfully.

"You decide, you explain. I don't want to repeat similar topics."

This is respect for the goddess... he added in his heart.

Praise Mr. Fool! Justice Audrey's heart leaped with joy.

She straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and tried to look at the “magician” Fors differently than usual.

"'Roleplay' is a way to speed up the mastery of potions and minimize the risk of losing control."

"Do you want to know?"

There is such a method? Is it true or false? Mr. Fool is such a high-level figure, he would definitely not lie about such a small matter! Fors opened his slightly lazy eyes, pursed his lips and said:

"think!"

As long as you are a Beyonder, there is no one who doesn't want to know similar methods! Fors suddenly became a little excited.

Audrey thought carefully and said:

"Two requests. First, you cannot tell anyone about the 'playing method' without Mr. Fool's permission."

"The second is to pay a reward of 200 pounds."

Her original plan was to use the Roselle diary at a discount. She would convert the amount of pages she and the "Hanged Man" had used to repay the debt into a corresponding price. But in reality, Roselle's diary was sold very cheaply because it could not be cracked, and in many cases, its authenticity could not be determined. The total price calculated was not in line with the "Acting Method", so she added some extra money on top of it.

Well…if Mr. Fool’s followers are no longer short of money, I will take the 200 pounds and then find the diary to pay off Mr. Fool’s debt…Audrey has already thought of the subsequent transaction.

200 pounds? A method that can reduce the risk of losing control costs only 200 pounds? Isn't this too, too cheap? Surprised and delighted, Fors was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so he spoke without hesitation:

"make a deal!"

After she finished speaking, she felt a little sorry for the money, and felt that her bank deposits were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
