Chapter 6 Living Expenses
Preorder a magical item? "The Hanged Man" Argel was stunned for a second before realizing what Miss Justice was saying.
The limitation of his thinking was suddenly opened, and he felt that there was room for this matter to be used:
"In a sense, the Extraordinary characteristics of the 'World' commission have already been sold, and the item has a definite end... I can completely simplify the process and make things easier and more beneficial to me, that is to say, I don't need to sell to 'craftsman' anymore, I should choose the method of commissioning, so that I don't have to worry about whether the characteristics can be sold, and I can get the commission from the 'world', and I can also get it from Miss 'Justice' To reap more profits, the only upfront cost that needs to be paid is commissioned processing fees. Of course, the risk of 'craftsmen' not keeping their promises must be considered..."
Ideas emerged one after another, "The Hanged Man" Alger quickly weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.
"No problem, I will deal with this matter." He looked at Miss Justice, only to feel that the other party exuded a golden light that people couldn't look directly at.
Even after joining the Church of Storms and drifting on the sea for many years, he had never seen such a person anywhere else.
There are many big merchants who spend money, and there are even more wealthy people, but none of them really don't care about money.
Has Miss Justice's financial situation improved to this extent? Klein the Fool was also taken aback.
For a moment, he wanted to urge the other party to pay the 2,000 pounds owed to his relatives as soon as possible, but considering that he had promised Miss "Justice" to postpone the repayment until February and March, he had no choice but to keep silent. Don't move, so as not to damage the image of the "fool".
At least the money for the Extraordinary Characteristics of "Faceless Man" can be obtained very quickly, and the speed only depends on the way Mr. Rely on Mr. "Hanged Man" to contact "Craftsman", otherwise you 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" Argel 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 method or means to put all the people in a boat to sleep at the same time?"
The reason why Alger hasn't gone to that primitive island to hunt the Blue Shadow Falcon until today is because he hasn't thought of how to leave the "Blue Avenger" without arousing suspicion, and leave the dozen or so sailors and crew members belonging to the church .
Let all the people in a boat fall into a deep sleep? The first thing Klein thought of was the "biotoxin bottle".
But the effect of this thing cannot be controlled at all, and the scene may not look good.
Immediately afterwards, he remembered the "Nightmare" soul in "Squirming Hunger", which made people fall asleep and drag people into dreams, which belonged to the specialty of this extraordinary profession.
"But the problem is that 'Nightmare' has no way to allow so many people to enter the dream at the same time, and the limit it can affect is no more than ten people. To meet the requirements of Mr. A powerhouse at the demigod level..." Klein dismissed his thoughts and didn't let The World speak.
At the same time, Audrey the Justice, Fors the Magician, and Derrick the Sun either shook their heads or answered with "no".
Emlyn the Moon recalled:
"I can ask for you, maybe there are magical items with similar effects in our blood race."
Always say "our blood race"... In the future, we can start persuading more from this aspect... "The Hanged Man" Argel grasped something, nodded with a smile and said:
"sorry to bother you."
Seeing the end of the transaction part, Klein hurriedly asked The World to make the latest request:
"Everyone, help me pay attention to the remnant spirit of the ancient wraith and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle."
Other auxiliary materials are not too difficult to buy, and he thinks there is no need to go through the Tarot Society.
"Okay." Derrick "The Sun" was the first to respond, and then added embarrassingly, "Mr. World, the method you want to remove the spiritual pollution in the Extraordinary characteristic will take a while, I should be very happy." You can advance to Sequence Seven soon."
Then, he looked to the side again:
"Mr. Hanged Man, as soon as I return to the City of Silver, I will compile a list of common monsters in the surrounding area."
Everything he owed to others, every promise he made but didn't fulfill, he kept firmly in his heart, and he felt that he couldn't sleep well enough.
"No problem." The gloomy "World" said indifferently.
Klein is indeed not in a hurry. His "Rules of the Faceless Man" have not yet been fully summarized, and the digestion of the potion has just begun, and the follow-up will take several months.
Therefore, his plan is not to go straight to the Gargas Islands, but to be active on the various colonial islands along the way as an "adventurer" and "traveler", changing his identity from time to time, experiencing life, and refining the "rule of the faceless man".
During this process, he will inquire about mermaids in more detail—knowing that the Church of the Goddess raises this kind of spiritual creature and masters the high-sequence potion formula of the "Seer" path, Klein is always worried that there are some mermaids in the Gargas Islands. A pitfall for every Faceless Man looking for a promotion.
In other words, Klein would have to spend two to three months or even more time traveling and taking risks in the Sonia sea. This interval was long enough for "The Sun" to get the potion formula, collect all the corresponding materials, and be promoted to Sequence 7 The "Sun Priest".
With the end of the trading part, members of the Tarot Club entered the time for free communication.
"Justice" Audrey did not disappoint the expectations of "The Hanged Man". She stood up first, raised her skirt, and bowed to the top of the long bronze table:
"Dear Mister Fool, I would like to know the hidden truth behind the Great Smog incident in Backlund. Is this purely caused by those cultists in order to revive the 'Primary Witch' and the 'True Creator' to descend? Edsaac Why did the prince choose to cooperate with them?
"According to the principle of equivalent exchange established by you, what do I need to pay to obtain the corresponding information?"
If I knew, the matter has been completely resolved now... The experienced Klein maintained a leisurely sitting posture, chuckled and said:
"unnecessary.
"The root of the problem has not been discovered, but there are enough clues. I hope the people of the three churches will not be too stupid."
The source of the problem has not been discovered? Things have not been completely resolved? Mister Fool asked the favored one to leave some clues for the church and the military? Audrey was quite shocked when she heard it, but felt that it was not too unexpected in her previous worries and worries.
"Thank you for your answer." She saluted again sincerely.
Is Backlund still in danger? "Magician" Fors was a little uneasy.
When Miss "Justice" sat down, Klein manipulated "The World" and said with a smile:
"Mr. Hanged Man, I found the Barron you mentioned."
"Barron who was involved in many slave escape cases on the colonial island?" "The Hanged Man" asked back in disbelief.
"Yes, brown-red skin, Southern Continental race, Backlund accent, and the third tooth on the left is a denture." "World" replied hoarsely.
"...It should be him." "The Hanged Man" Alger recalled for two seconds, "Where is he? What is his current status? Also, Mr. World, do you want to take 100 pounds in cash directly, or is it equivalent?" items?"
This is the task of the Church of the Storm, and buying clues is an act that can be reimbursed, so "The Hanged Man" has no pressure.
Money of course! Klein the Fool, who was worrying about living expenses, manipulated The World and said:
"100 pounds in cash.
"Baron was in Backlund. He was seen meeting with an MI9 officer loyal to the royal family. I don't know who it is, because the other party was wearing a mask."
"MI9 personnel loyal to the royal family..." "The Hanged Man" chewed on this sentence, and suddenly thought of Miss Justice's question: Why did Prince Edsac cooperate with the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect?
This also points to the royal family... Can the two cases be combined? The truth behind the incident involving the disappearance of the slaves? Alger felt that he vaguely saw some key points.
"You are really a person with many channels and well-informed information. The 100 pounds in cash will be paid tomorrow." "The Hanged Man" Alger thanked him calmly.
"Hey." "World" laughed, and turned to look at "Sun":
"Little guy, do you know the ancient Hermes language?"
Derrick didn't hide anything, and replied honestly:
"I've heard of Hermes, but the City of Silver doesn't have knowledge of it."
In the Second Epoch, there was no distinction between Hermes and Ancient Hermes. It was not until the Fourth Epoch that the ancient Hermes was simplified accordingly, making it easier to use, teach and spread in daily life. But it no longer has such a strong and direct ritual effect, that is to say, the Hermes language in the mouth of the little "sun" is equal to the ancient Hermes language... There is indeed Hermes in the history of the City of Silver... Klein nodded secretly. :
"Unfortunately, I wanted to ask you for a favor."
At this time, Audrey the Justice remembered one thing from their conversation, which came from the Psychological Alchemist Association.
She originally planned to communicate directly, but after looking at the new member "Mr. Moon", she felt that she didn't know him very well, so she raised her hands slightly and said:
"Dear Mister Fool, I have something to report to you."
Klein nodded lightly, isolating the perception of others.
"What's the matter?" He asked flatly.
Audrey said truthfully:
"I got some news from the Psychological Alchemist Association. The most important thing is that their establishment stems from the excavation of the remains of Hermes, that is, the master Hermes who created the ancient Hermes language."
The remains of Hermes? This old gentleman was still alive one or two hundred years ago... Did he deliberately guide the psychological alchemist to find the relic, or did he already fall in the Roselle incident? Klein was startled for a while, thought for a while, and reminded with a smile:
"Hermes is a member of the Twilight Hermit Order."
He didn't mention the possibility that Hermes might be alive, because that couldn't be determined.
Hermes is a member of the "Twilight Hermit Order"? Is it possible that the Psychological Alchemist Association is involved with this mysterious organization? Audrey was startled, and immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I have the Tarot Society and Mister Fool behind me, otherwise I would have no way of knowing and defense... She once again praised The Fool gratefully.
At this time, Klein originally wanted to comfort Miss Justice, telling her not to be too painful or too worried about the Backlund smog incident. Maturity does not mean that you have to give up a certain good mood and smile on your face, which will not affect The importance attached to things can actually help him persevere longer, but after thinking about it, in order to maintain the image of a "fool", he had no choice but to give up the advice from the former "clown".
Immediately, he unblocked the other members, waiting for the end of the communication that was drawing to a close, and waiting for the end of the Tarot meeting.
PS: A BUG was fixed in the previous chapter. There is only one slate of blasphemy in Little Sun’s cognition, and there is no difference between the first and the second. I only suddenly thought of this problem when I re-read this chapter. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
