Pre-ordering a magical item? Alger was stunned for a second before he realized what Miss Justice was talking about.

The limitations of his thinking were immediately opened up, and he felt that this matter had room for exploitation:

"In a sense, the Beyonder characteristics commissioned by the World have already been sold. The items have a definite destination... I can completely simplify the process to make things easier and more beneficial to me. In other words, I don't need to sell them to the Craftsman anymore. I should choose the method of commissioning production. In this way, I don't have to worry about whether the characteristics can be sold. I can get the commission from the World and reap more profits from Miss Justice. The only upfront cost I need to pay is the commission processing fee. Of course, I must consider the risk of the Craftsman not keeping his promise..."

As ideas emerged one after another, Alger, the "Hanged Man", quickly weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.

"No problem, I will take care of this matter." He looked at Miss Justice, only to find that she was emitting a golden light that made it impossible to look directly at her.

Even after joining the Church of Storms and drifting on the sea for many years, he had never seen such people anywhere else.

There are many spendthrifts among the big sea merchants, and even more wealthy ones, but none of them really doesn't care about money.

Miss Justice's financial situation has improved to this extent? Klein the Fool was also shocked.

For a moment, he wanted to urge her to pay the 2,000 pounds she owed to his loved one as soon as possible, but considering that he had already promised Miss Justice to postpone the repayment until February or March, he could only remain silent and remain motionless in order not to damage the image of The Fool.

At least the money for the Faceless Man's extraordinary characteristics can be obtained quickly. The speed only depends on how Mr. Hanged Man contacts a certain "craftsman" and how fast the "craftsman" makes magical items... Unfortunately, for the time being, I can only rely on Mr. Hanged Man to contact the "craftsman". Otherwise, I can directly sell the characteristics to Miss Justice without paying a commission... Thinking of this, Klein's mood became a little complicated.

After finalizing a big deal, "The Hanged Man" Alger breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his financial situation was slowly improving.

He thought for a few seconds and asked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do any of you have a way or item to make everyone on a ship fall asleep at the same time?"

The reason why Alger had not yet gone to the primitive island to hunt the Blue Shadow Falcon was because he had not figured out how to leave the Blue Avenger and the dozen or so sailors and crew members who belonged to the church without arousing suspicion.

Putting all the people on a ship to sleep? Klein first thought of the "biotoxin bottle", but the effect of this thing is impossible to control, and the scene might not be pretty.

Then he remembered the "nightmare" soul in "The Creeping Hunger", which made people fall asleep and drag them into dreams, which was the specialty of this extraordinary profession.

"But the problem is that Nightmare simply cannot allow so many people to enter the dream at the same time. The maximum number of people that can be affected is no more than ten. To meet Mr. Hanged Man's requirements, one must be at least Sequence 5 of the corresponding path, or even a demigod-level warrior..." Klein gave up the idea and didn't let The World speak.

At the same time, "Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Fors, and "Sun" Derrick either shook their heads in response or answered with "no".

Emlyn the Moon thought about it and said:

"I can ask for you. Maybe we in the blood clan have magical items with similar effects."

Always saying "we are the blood clan"... We can try to persuade them from this aspect more often in the future... Alger, the "Hanged Man", grasped something and nodded with a smile:

"Thank you for your help."

Seeing that the transaction was coming to an end, Klein hurriedly asked the World to put forward its latest requirements:

"Everyone, help me keep an eye out for the remaining spirits of the ancient vengeful spirits and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle."

Other auxiliary materials are not too difficult to purchase, and he does not think it is necessary to go through the Tarot Club.

“Okay.” Derrick “The Sun” responded first, and then added sheepishly, “Mr. World, the method you want to remove the mental pollution within the Beyonder characteristics will take some time. I should be able to advance to Sequence 7 soon.”

As he spoke, he looked to the side again:

"Mr. 'Hanged Man', as soon as I returned to Silver City, I compiled a list of common monsters in the surrounding area."

He kept everything he owed to others and every promise he made but did not fulfill firmly in his mind, and he felt unable to sleep well.

"No problem." The gloomy "world" said indifferently.

Klein was indeed not in a hurry. He had not yet summarized and perfected his "Faceless Code" and had just begun to digest the potion. It would take several more months.

Therefore, his plan was not to go straight to the Gargas Islands, but to be active in various colonial islands along the way as an "adventurer" and "traveler", changing his identity from time to time, experiencing life, and refining the "Faceless Code".

During this process, he will inquire about mermaids in more detail. After knowing that the Goddess Church raises such spiritual creatures and possesses the high-sequence potion formula of the "Fortune Teller" path, Klein is always worried that there are traps set in the Gargas Islands for every "Faceless Man" seeking promotion.

In other words, Klein would have to spend two to three months or even more time traveling and adventuring on the Sonia Sea. This interval was long enough for the "Sun" to obtain the potion formula, collect the corresponding materials, and be promoted to a Sequence 7 "Sun Priest".

With the transaction part concluded, the Tarot Club members entered into a time of free communication.

Audrey, the Justice, lived up to the expectations of the Hanged Man. She stood up first, lifted her skirt slightly, and bowed to the head of the bronze table:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I want to know the truth behind the Backlund Great Smog Incident. Was it purely caused by the cultists in order to awaken the Original Witch and bring down the True Creator? Why did Prince Edessak choose to cooperate with them?

"According to the principle of equal exchange you established, what do I need to pay to obtain the corresponding intelligence?"

If I had known that the matter had been completely resolved by now... The experienced Klein maintained a leisurely sitting posture and chuckled.

"unnecessary.

"The root cause of the problem has not yet been discovered, but there are enough clues. I hope the people from the three major churches will not be too stupid."

The root of the problem has not been discovered yet? The problem has not been completely resolved? Mr. Fool asked his followers to leave some clues for the church and the military? Audrey was quite shocked, but she felt that this was not too surprising given her previous worries and concerns.

"Thank you for your answer." She bowed again sincerely.

Backlund is still in danger? Magician Fors suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After Miss Justice sat down, Klein controlled the World and laughed:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', I found the Barron you were talking about."

"Barron, who was involved in many slave escape cases on the colonial islands?" The Hanged Man asked back in disbelief.

“Yes, brown-red skin, from the southern continent, with a Backlund accent, and the third tooth on the left is a denture.” The World replied hoarsely.

"...It should be him." Alger, the Hanged Man, recalled for two seconds and said, "Where is he? What is his current status? And, Mr. World, do you want to take 100 pounds in cash directly, or something of equivalent value?"

This is a mission from the Church of the Storm, and purchasing clues can be reimbursed, so the "Hanged Man" has no pressure at all.

Of course it’s money! Klein the Fool, who was worried about his living expenses, manipulated the World and said:

"100 pounds in cash.

"Barron was in Backlund. Someone saw him meeting with an MI9 officer who was loyal to the royal family. I don't know who it was because he was wearing a mask."

"MI9 personnel loyal to the royal family..." The Hanged Man chewed over these words and suddenly thought of Miss Justice's question just now: Why did Prince Edessak want to cooperate with the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult?

This also points to the royal family... Can the two cases be combined? Does the truth behind the incident involve the disappearance of slaves? Alger felt that he vaguely saw some key points.

"You are truly a well-informed person with many channels. The 100 pounds in cash will be paid tomorrow." Alger, the "Hanged Man", thanked him calmly.

"Hey." The World laughed and turned to look at the Sun:

"Little guy, do you know the ancient Hermetic language?"

Derrick did not hide anything and answered honestly:

"I have heard of the Hermetic language, but the City of Silver does not have knowledge of it."

In the Second Era, there was no distinction between the Hermetic language and the Ancient Hermetic language. It was not until some time in the Fourth Era that the Ancient Hermetic language was simplified accordingly, making it easier to use, teach, and spread in daily life. However, it no longer had such a strong and direct ritual effect. In other words, the Hermetic language spoken by the little "Sun" was equal to the Ancient Hermetic language... There really was a person named Hermes in the history of the City of Silver... Klein nodded secretly and said,

"What a shame. I was hoping to ask you for a favor."

At this time, "Justice" Audrey remembered something from their conversation, which came from the matter of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

She originally planned to communicate directly, but after looking at the new member Mr. Moon, she felt that she didn't know him well enough, so she raised her hand slightly and said:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you."

Klein nodded slightly, blocking the perception of others.

"What's the matter?" he asked in a flat tone.

Audrey said truthfully:

"I got some information from the Psychological Alchemy Society. The most important thing is that their establishment originated from the excavation of the remains of Hermes, that is, the Hermes master who created the ancient Hermes language."

The remains of Hermes? This old man was still alive a hundred or two hundred years ago... Did he deliberately guide the Psychological Alchemy Society to discover the remains, or did he die in the Roselle incident? Klein was startled, and after a moment of consideration, he smiled and reminded:

"Hermes is a member of the 'Twilight Hermits'."

He did not mention the possibility that Hermes might still be alive, because that was impossible to be sure.

Hermes is a member of the Twilight Hermits? The Psychological Alchemy Society is likely to be involved with this mysterious organization? Audrey was startled, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I have the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool behind me, otherwise I would have no way of knowing and no way of guarding against it… She once again praised Mr. Fool with gratitude.

At this time, Klein wanted to comfort Miss Justice and tell her not to be too distressed or worried about the Backlund smog incident. Maturity does not mean giving up a certain good mood and smile on your face. This will not affect the importance of things, but will help you hold on longer. But after consideration, in order to maintain the image of "The Fool", he had to give up this advice from the former "Joker".

Immediately, he unblocked other members, waiting for the communication that was coming to an end, and waiting for the Tarot gathering to end.

PS: A BUG was fixed in the previous chapter. In Little Sun’s cognition, there is only one blasphemous slate, and there is no difference between the first and the second. I suddenly thought of this problem when I re-read this chapter.
