Chapter 167 Transaction Process
The Blasphemy Card! It was created by Emperor Roselle, a Blasphemy Card containing the secret to godhood!
Alger, the "Hanged Man," stared in disbelief at the card that Klein had placed face down on the table. His emotions were running high, but he quickly calmed down and thought about some questions.
How did Miss Justice know that it was a blasphemous card? Moreover, "World" and "Fate" didn't react much, as if they already knew.
They're all in Backlund. Could the appearance of this blasphemous card be related to them?
...The card of blasphemy?
"The Magician" Fors and "The Sun" Derrick both wore the same blank expression; they didn't know much about it.
As expected, he regarded money as dirt. Klein sighed silently to himself, then asked:
"Do you want me to tell you directly, or do you want it to remain a secret only for yourself?"
"Justice," Audrey looked around and then replied:
"Only I know this."
A flicker of disappointment crossed the minds of "The Magician" Fors and "The Hanged Man" Alger, but they quickly recovered.
Anyway, it's just two pages of Russell's diary, so it's not too difficult to collect. We'll find out the answer at next week's tarot meeting.
While they were talking alone, "The Fool" Klein turned the card face down on the table and showed it to "Justice" Audrey.
"This is the 'Black Emperor' card, and the corresponding sequence 9 is 'The Lawyer'."
As expected, they weren't "spectators": Audrey sighed silently to herself, but that slight disappointment was quickly replaced by the satisfaction of knowing the answer.
After their private conversation ended, "The Fool" Klein leaned back in his chair and said leisurely:
"You may begin."
Upon hearing this, "The Magician" Fors was the first to raise his hand, looking at "Destiny" Cyril opposite him and asking:
"Mr. Fate, is the Russell's diary you just provided the one I understand?"
Cyril's gaze swept over "The Magician" Fors, then he nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, the memorized Roselle diary can be submitted to Mr. 'Fool' in exchange for some help."
"The Magician" Fors nodded, then turned to look at "The Fool" Klein at the head of the table, and said very solemnly:
"Mr. 'Fool,' I will keep an eye on collecting Russell's diary; this is the price I pay for the help I provide you each month."
This way, she wouldn't feel so much pressure because of Mr. Fool's help every time.
"Yes," Klein, the Fool, nodded slightly in response.
"What kind of help will Mr. 'Patient' provide to Fors each month?"
"Justice" Audrey turned her head to look at Fors with a mixture of doubt and curiosity. It seemed that her friend also had her own secrets, and it wasn't as simple as her recommending her to Mr. Fool.
As her thoughts wandered, she suddenly remembered another problem she had previously overlooked:
Fors will definitely ask me for Russell's diary later. She knows I've collected quite a few diaries, but those are all diaries I've already submitted to Mr. "Patient". I need to find a way to refuse.
Hmm... Susie, just say that Susie chewed up my diary. :. Wouldn't that be a bit too deliberate, and the timing is too coincidental?
Or, perhaps I could create some kind of experimental accident that happens to affect the Russell diaries I have stored away?
You could also say that I was bought by someone else. People from the Psychological Alchemy Society just happened to have contact with me, so I can pass the buck to them, and Fors won't be able to verify it.
Having figured out how to deal with the possibility that Fors might ask her for Roselle's diary, Audrey felt much more relaxed. After looking around at everyone, she said:
"Gentlemen, recently two individuals suspected to be members of the Psychological Alchemy Society have been contacting me through certain nobles in Backlund. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Personally, I prefer to join them, as this would allow me to better obtain subsequent potion recipes and materials, provided that my own safety can be guaranteed."
Have they already made contact with the Psychological Alchemy Society...? Lost in thought, Cyril asked:
"It's feasible, and there's a high probability that there won't be any danger to your life. The people from the Psychological Alchemy Society probably also want to indirectly understand and influence the upper-class nobles through you."
"However, we need to be mindful of potential psychological suggestions; for the 'audience,' this is a good way to restrain them."
"If you simply need potion recipes, there's not much need to join them. But if you're looking to expand your network and channels, it's a good option."
"The Fool" Klein also controlled his alternate account "The World" to give a warning:
"There are informants planted by the church within the Psychological Alchemy Society, so you need to know how to hide and conceal yourself."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," also offered a different opinion:
"For 'viewers' who can read minds and exert psychological influence, the informants planted within could also become informants in the opposite direction."
"As far as I know, the Church of Storms isn't proactive in this regard; they prefer to take direct action, like that 'spectator' I killed back then."
"The Church of the Night prefers to develop informants; the covert protection gives them an advantage in this regard."
Audrey listened attentively, then nodded her thanks to the group.
"I understand, thank you all for your suggestions."
She paused, then turned to look at the head of the table, "The Fool" Klein, and asked:
"Mr. 'Fool,' my further contact with the Psychological Alchemy will inevitably involve some challenges. May I seek your help then?"
"Yes." "The Fool" Klein nodded slightly.
Having received the answer she wanted, Audrey thanked everyone in a good mood and then ended her question.
Immediately afterwards, Klein manipulated the smaller "World" to make his demands:
"Everyone, I need magical items from the solar realm, or powerful extraordinary weapons, preferably the kind I can obtain within the next two days."
Cyril raised his hand: "How about a potion from the Solar Realm? I can have someone prepare one for you?"
Potion? The vampire in the Harvest Church, or Father Utravsky?
Klein was about to manipulate "the world" to agree to his request, but then realized that he could bypass this middleman who was making a profit and buy the potion directly from the Harvest Church.
After a pause, "the world" replied, albeit a beat late:
"No need, I can find people who can concoct extraordinary potions."
"Fine... then..." Sirion pouted and leaned back in his chair.
"Justice," Audrey said thoughtfully.
"People from the Psychological Alchemy Society will probably contact me again soon; I can ask them for you then."
"I'll keep an eye out for you, but there might not be enough time," Alger the Hanged Man replied.
He is still adrift at sea and it will be several days before he reaches the shore.
"The Sun" Derrick shook his head directly: "Silver City lacks these kinds of items."
Seeing that everyone had responded, "The Magician" Fors also gave his answer:
"There happens to be a gathering of extraordinary individuals recently, and I will help keep an eye out for it."
The Dawn Knight's Dawn also possesses the effects of the Holy and Light domains, although it is not as holy as the Sun's domain. However, Sirion did not intend to remind Klein, since if he found a suitable magical item, his Peacekeeper would not be able to be rented out.
Seeing that no one continued the topic, "The Magician" Fors looked at Cyril across from him, raised his hand, and said:
"Mr. Destiny, do you have any potion ingredients needed by the 'Master of Tricks,' or any clues?"
"No." Sirion shook his head bluntly.
"Okay..." She sighed and looked at the others on either side of the weathered long table.
"Gentlemen, I need the stomach of a Soul Eater, the eyes of a Fear Worm, and the blood of a Deep Sea Marlin."
In order not to reveal the recipe for "Master of Tricks," she mixed "Sheriff's" ingredients into her own recipe.
Anyway, I can resell it to Hugh, so it's not a loss.
As her thoughts drifted, she saw the tall, imposing "Sun" man raise his hand:
"I know where the Soul Eaters are."
"Where?" Fors asked quickly.
"The Sun" Derrick paused for a moment, then realized that this member, who was only attending the Tarot meeting for the second time, didn't know enough about Silver City, so he took the initiative to answer:
"In the darkness outside Silver City, there is a place completely different from your outside world; you cannot get there."
Fors, belatedly realizing that the other person was in a land abandoned by God, was so embarrassed that he gripped the ground with his toes.
Derrick ignored her reaction and continued:
"It's not a particularly powerful monster; I can hire some helpers to hunt it in the darkness outside Silver City."
