Hobert's carriage hadn't gone far when a coffin emerged from the void. After a letter popped out, it disappeared.
Opening the letter, Hobert discovered it was from Klein. He thought to himself, 'Only today do I realize I've taken so much blame for you!'
He opened the letter and saw that Klein was asking him to meet at the Tussock Riverbank in the suburbs of Backlund at midnight.
Hobert was stunned: What's so important that he needs to meet me in person?
He exerted a little force with his hand, 'tampering' with the density of the letter, turning it into tiny paper scraps. As they floated out of the carriage window, they turned into white dust.
After resting for a while, at 11:58 PM, Hobert used 'Travel' to arrive at the meeting place he had agreed upon with Klein.
It was far from the city, with no villages nearby, only the Tussock River flowing silently in the darkness.
Klein had just arrived as well. The two smiled at each other.
Hobert thought to himself, 'Is tonight a 'friends reunion'?' To see two old friends on the same night!
He asked knowingly, "I heard you're being targeted by the Church of the Lord of Storms?"
Klein's appearance at this time was black hair and brown eyes, with the temperament of a scholar, just like when he first met Hobert. He asked in return, "Haven't you heard about my experiences?"
Hobert laughed, "I only heard that Gehrman Sparrow became a favored one of the 'Creator,' but I only got this information tonight and haven't had time to verify it."
He said this on purpose to make it easier for Klein to make relevant associations.
And Klein lived up to expectations: 'It's about what I guessed. Hobert is only responsible for matters related to the 'Creator' in the Northern Continent, so he's not very well-informed about the Berserk Sea. And the 'Creator' certainly wouldn't proactively tell his favored one about the events in Bayam!'
"The 'Creator' saved me in Bayam," Klein said directly. "I asked you out to ask if you need my help with anything recently?"
Hobert immediately understood that Klein didn't know how to repay the 'Creator', so he was learning from 'The Hanged Man' to prepare to thank the 'Creator's' favored one.
"There is indeed something I need your help with."
Klein made a gesture for him to speak.
Hobert suddenly brought up another issue: "What are your thoughts on how to obtain the 'Magician' potion formula?"
Klein was slightly stunned: "There is no feasible plan at the moment."
Hobert certainly knew that this guy wasn't telling the truth. He then said, "If you want to sneak into a church of the Evernight Goddess, such as Saint Samuel Cathedral in Backlund, to obtain the potion formula, remember to call me."
Klein looked puzzled.
Hobert explained, "During the Backlund smog incident, a Saint sent by the 'Creator' lost contact. According to limited clues, we suspect that Saint was imprisoned by an Sealed Artifact of the Evernight Goddess Church. If there's a chance, I need to sneak into Saint Samuel Cathedral to look for clues."
Klein immediately considered the possibility of acting with Hobert, but he soon felt that doing so was too risky.
Just as he was about to refuse and ask Hobert if he had any other requests, Hobert added, "I recently obtained an Sealed Artifact that can transform into a small mass of flesh, to be hidden on another person in a very secretive way."
This made Klein change his mind again: "If I have such ideas, I will contact you immediately."
Hobert "hmm"ed and asked, "What are your plans after this?"
Klein didn't hide anything: "I can't stay in the Rampaging Sea any longer. I plan to return to Backlund under another identity."
"If you need help, you can come to the Earl's manor or write to me."
"I will," Klein said with a smile.
"I just saw Leonard tonight," Hobert said. "Besides the current Sequence advancement, he's still the same as ever."
Klein sighed, "Leonard!"
It seemed like someone who had appeared in his life a long time ago.
Watching Hobert leave, Klein stood quietly by the river for a while before using 'Travel' to arrive at the Tingen City cemetery, in front of Dunn Smith's grave: "Captain, I've come to see you."
He looked at the tombstone for a long time without saying a word. He originally thought he would have a lot to say, but when he arrived at the cemetery, he found that he couldn't say anything.
After a long while, Klein used divination to find Old Neil's grave: "Why didn't I carefully observe your condition at that time? If you hadn't lost control a second time, perhaps..."
He sighed, "How can there be so many perhaps? In this extraordinary world, we are too fragile."
...
62 Empress Borough.
Hobert lay in his bedroom, lamenting that Klein seemed to be getting more and more withdrawn.
He remembered that before, Klein would tell him some of his plans for the future, but now Klein was unwilling to reveal anything.
Turning over, Hobert thought again: 'Leonard can't be a poet in this life. Although his thoughts are unconstrained, the questions he thinks about are too practical and not poetic at all, but this way of thinking is very suitable for investigating cases.'
Thinking and thinking, Hobert fell into a deep sleep and woke up early the next morning.
While eating breakfast, Hobert chatted with Elizabeth, asking about her exam preparation and planning to get to know some education councilors at the upcoming balls.
Or use Portland's relationship to see if he could find a convenient channel to enter Backlund University.
Today was Monday, and the students introduced by Portland, the president of Backlund Technical University, and Professor Isaac of the Physics Department came for an interview.
Hobert chatted with them and felt quite satisfied with their professional skills, so he hired all four of them.
Hobert was very generous with the salary. The student introduced by Portland had rich work experience, and Hobert gave him a salary of 12 pounds per week.
The three students introduced by Isaac were somewhat lacking in practical experience, but Hobert also offered a salary of 8 pounds per week for each of them, and arranged accommodation and food for them on the manor.
This salary and treatment were rare in Backlund, especially for the three university graduates in materials science. This was the highest-paying job they had encountered.
On the way to the manor in the suburbs by carriage, Hobert assigned tasks to them.
Portland's student, Fich, was responsible for designing a small power station. Hobert explained the principle of the power station to Fich in as much detail as possible.
The difference between the mechanical structure of the power station and ordinary steam engines was its turbine, which could better Exploit thermal energy.
If ordinary steam engines could only Exploit about 8% of the heat energy after coal combustion, the power station with a large turbine could Exploit up to 40% of the heat energy!
Hobert had only seen the concept diagram of the turbine and could only try his best to describe it clearly.
Fich was a little confused at first. After all, the turbine was not a product of this era and was not easy for him to understand.
But after understanding the principle, he was confident that he could design a prototype in two or three weeks, assemble it, and test the effect.
As for the three students introduced by Isaac, Hobert asked one to study the application of tungsten wire in electric lights, one to study more uses of rubber, and one to study how to convert electrical energy and acoustic energy into each other.
The four people looked at each other and seemed to say in their hearts at the same time: 'This money is not easy to earn!'
The tasks Hobert gave were all in the relatively unpopular field of electricity, and although the learned Earl gave them theories that they were not unfamiliar with, they had not applied them in this way before, so there was nothing to learn from.
However, after seeing the manor that was being renovated on a large scale, the four people became ambitious again and felt that this was indeed an opportunity to show their talents.
After settling them down, Hobert urged them to get to work as soon as possible.
What these four researchers didn't know was that Hobert had repeatedly used the "1-107's" "Secrecy" ability when he talked to them about the key points.
So Hobert simply didn't sign a confidentiality agreement, because it wasn't necessary.
Without having time to eat lunch, Hobert embarked on the return journey, fearing that he would not be able to return to the Earl's manor by three o'clock in the afternoon.
After returning to the Earl's manor, Hobert locked himself in the bedroom under the pretext of rest.
At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, his vision was covered by gray fog, and he reappeared in the Giant's Hall, sitting on one side of the bronze long table.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" With "Justice" Audrey's crisp greeting, this Tarot Gathering officially began.
After the greeting session, "Hermit" Cattleya first said: "Mr. Fool, I only collected one page of Roselle's diary this time."
Next was "Fool" Klein's reading time. After reading a few lines, he was surprised to find that this page of the diary was actually Roselle's record of obtaining information about the 'Black Emperor' rebirth process from Mr. 'Door'!
In addition, there was a lot of information about the 'United Empire' during the Fourth Epoch. The former made Klein understand many of the things that the 'Emperor' had reserved in his previous information about the 'Black Emperor'.
The latter allowed him to verify the 'Emperor's' relevant information and guesses about the Fourth Epoch. In the end, he concluded that this information was basically consistent with what the 'Emperor' said, and the Emperor's guesses were also reasonable, making the relevant information and history more abundant.
After reading this diary with a huge amount of information, Klein smiled and said to Cattleya: "What is your request?"
Cattleya immediately asked: "May I ask who is the protagonist of this diary besides Emperor Roselle?"
This question immediately made Audrey look at Mr. Fool with curiosity. The other members were also very interested. Anyone who could be written in Roselle the Great's diary must not be an ordinary person.
Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart: 'That is to say, this diary was carefully selected by Bernadette. If it were another one, I would tell you that the other protagonist is a witch, a certain noble lady, a certain noble young lady.'
He leaned back in his chair leisurely and replied: "Mr. 'Door'!"
For a time, everyone appeared a brief daze.
"The Hanged Man" Alger frowned: According to the information obtained from "Emperor", Mr. "Door" was a figure of the Fourth Epoch. How could he have contact with Emperor Roselle of the Fifth Epoch?
Audrey was curious: In what way did they meet, what would they communicate?
"Magician" Fors thought: Could it be that the seal on Mr. "Door" became less secure a hundred years ago? That's why I can hear those whispers during the full moon?
The other members probably had similar guesses to their own.
Cattleya had already traded for information about the Angel family before joining the Tarot Club, so only she didn't know who Mr. "Door" was.
After observing the abnormality of the other members, she asked: "Does everyone know who Mr. 'Door' is?"
Audrey and the other members all looked at the "Emperor."
"Emperor" Hobert said: "Mr. 'Door' is an King of Angels of the Fourth Epoch, um, the King of Angels here refers to a level of power, not a title."
He added: "Except for the eight Kings of Angels around the Ancient Sun God in the Third Epoch, when describing others as Kings of Angels, they all refer to the level of strength, not the title."
Cattleya asked: "Why haven't I heard of Mr. 'Door'?"
Hobert had to further answer: "He was sealed."
Cattleya followed up and asked: "Then why can he contact Emperor Roselle?"
This was also the question in the minds of the other members, including Klein, so everyone unanimously stared at the "Emperor."
"This..." Hobert paused slightly: "I'm not too clear about this either, I only know some information."
He originally wanted to say "This information needs to be traded", but after thinking about it, if he knew this secret information very clearly, it would be easy to be suspected, so he said "I only know some information".
Cattleya immediately said: "I am willing to initiate a transaction for relevant information, even if I only know a part of it."
"I am also willing to initiate a transaction!" Fors also immediately said, she would not let go of any information about Mr. "Door"!
Cattleya was slightly stunned and looked at Miss "Magician". In her impression, Miss "Magician" rarely took the initiative like this.
"Let me think about it," Hobert said, "3000 pounds."
He then smiled: "In order to allow everyone to improve faster, let's offer 3000 pounds!"
After becoming a demigod, Hobert didn't have much need for gold pounds anymore, and he earned money faster. Instead, he hoped to get more demigod helpers, so there was no need to scavenge other members.
The crowdfunding for this transaction was completed as quickly as ever.
This time, Cattleya and Fors each contributed 750 pounds, and the other members each contributed 300 pounds. Of course, "Little Sun" used Beyonder ingredients to pay off his debts as usual.
Before the transaction began, Cattleya looked at Miss Magician again: Everyone didn't show surprise at Miss "Magician's" enthusiasm this time! Usually, she would at most follow along with the transaction. Could it be that Miss "Magician" has a special connection with Mr. "Door"? And everyone knows this?
Then she thought: Just as I thought before, although Miss Magician rarely speaks and looks very low-key, she never seems to worry about money! Moreover, she has never bought any magic potion formulas or Beyonder ingredients, but compared to last week, her temperament at this gathering seems to be different, as if she has been promoted! Who provided her with the formula and Beyonder ingredients? Her identity is indeed not simple!
"'Mr. Door's' full name is Bethel Abraham," Hobert said, "In this transaction, we will mainly talk about this King of Angels."
Cattleya was slightly taken aback: "A member of the Abraham family?"
Although she had never heard of "Mr. Door," she had heard of the Abraham family.
Fors answered this question: "To be precise, he is the ancestor of the Abraham family."
Cattleya nodded slightly, guessing the relationship between Miss Magician and the Abraham family.
Hobert waited for their question and answer to end before continuing: "According to limited clues, this 'Mr. Door' should have been promoted to an angel in the Third Epoch.
"The Sequence 3 of this pathway before becoming an angel is called 'Wanderer'. It is said that they can wander in the cosmos and travel between different planets."
This stunned Klein: If he had this ability, what would he need a spaceship for?
Then he realized: In the mystical world, in addition to the concepts of orange stars and brown stars, there are also concepts of other planets! That's right, I remember seeing some descriptions before I time-traveled. Before people could see the surface of Mars clearly, they thought that some humans should also live on other planets. The concept of planets has actually existed for a long time!
Audrey sighed in her heart: Wandering in the cosmos! It sounds so romantic!
Fors was a little excited: I will have such abilities in the future! I must go and see what those stars look like!
The male members such as Alger did not have such romantic ideas. Alger just thought: Other planets are good hiding places. The "Apprentice" pathway seems to be developing in a direction that is increasingly difficult to catch.
"The Sun" Derrick carefully savored the word "planet" before he roughly understood the meaning of the planet: How great it would be if City of Silver could migrate to other planets! It's a pity that we can't even go to the North and South Continents now.
"The Moon" Emlyn wondered: I wonder if there are moons on other planets? Are there any puppets?
Hobert gave everyone a few seconds to imagine, and then reminded everyone: "It is said that 'Mr. Door' liked to travel in the cosmos after becoming a 'Wanderer'.
"Please remember this, because this is very important!"
The other members were slightly taken aback and didn't understand why Hobert would give such a reminder.
Only "The Emperor" continued: "In the Fourth Epoch, it is said that 'Mr. Door' has accommodated the uniqueness of this pathway and all Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, and is known as: the King of Angels who is most likely to be promoted to a True God!
"During the 'War of the Four Emperors', he was jointly sealed by the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms, who supported the Trunsoest Empire."
At this time, Klein suddenly recalled: I remember that Roselle said in a diary before that after going to sea, he encountered 'Mr. Door' who was trapped in the storm and lost in the depths of darkness. I didn't notice this before. It may be precisely because 'Mr. Door' was sealed by the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms that he appeared to be trapped in darkness and storms.
Cattleya keenly noticed something: "Why was 'Mr. Door' sealed?"
The other members were slightly taken aback. Why else? Of course, it was because of the "War of the Four Emperors"! The Beyonders of the "Door" pathway found it difficult to deal with just thinking about it. The Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms were eliminating potential threats.
"The Hermit" Cattleya seemed to see through everyone's thoughts, she spread her hands: "Didn't everyone notice this? Who else did the gods seal during the 'War of the Four Emperors'?"
Everyone was stunned. It seemed that they had never heard of anyone else being sealed by the Six Gods.
In this way, 'Mr. Door's' encounter seemed indeed quite special. And people who have such special encounters must have something special about them.
Hobert admired the "Pirate Admiral's" insight very much: "The Hermit's question is indeed the most critical part of this transaction.
"Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, the existing clues all indicate that 'Mr. Door' was corrupted while wandering in the cosmos after becoming a 'Wanderer'!
"So, as 'Mr. Door' becomes stronger and stronger, he is actually becoming a bigger and bigger destabilizing factor!
"Therefore, when the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms believed that the time was right, they immediately sealed 'Mr. Door'."
This answer was unexpected by everyone. Klein behind the gray fog first thought: Then Roselle, who communicated with 'Mr. Door' many times, is also in danger of being corrupted!
Alger smiled slightly: The seemingly ordinary actions of the gods always contain profound meaning.
Fors immediately asked: "Who corrupted 'Mr. Door'?"
Hobert did not answer directly, but said: "At that time, 'Mr. Door' was not yet an angel and was not strong enough to resist such corruption!"
Fors recalled the information she had previously traded from "The Emperor" and immediately understood: "Above the Gods!"
Klein silently recited in his heart: Outer Gods!
Then he manipulated "The World" and asked: "Are there many such contaminations in the cosmos? Why hasn't this corruption spread in the North and South Continents?"
The second question had been a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
Hobert simply replied: "As far as I know, yes!"
Klein was slightly taken aback. Generally, when asked during a transaction, "The Emperor" would try to answer in as much detail as possible.
And if he didn't answer in detail, there were generally two reasons, either Hobert didn't know the answer, or the value of the answer was too high and exceeded the scope of this transaction.
Looking at Hobert's expression, Klein believed that both were true.
Fors couldn't help but frown when he heard this answer: So the cosmos is very dangerous!
Audrey had the same question as "The World": Why are those "Outer Gods" all in the cosmos? And haven't affected the real world?
Alger realized: According to some clues, the gods seemed to have gone to the astral world at the beginning of the Fifth Epoch. Were they going to guard against this group of "Outer Gods"?
Then he also had the same question as Klein before: But "Outer Gods" should be stronger than gods, how did the Seven Gods resist their erosion?
Cattleya was more concerned: "Why was 'Mr. Door' able to contact Emperor Roselle?"
The other members were slightly taken aback and immediately realized that this was another key piece of information in this transaction, so they stopped their respective guesses and looked at "The Emperor" together.
"Part of the following transaction content is my guess," Hobert said, "The one who corrupted 'Mr. Door' occupied the Crimson Moon.
"So, at the time of the full moon, that existence can to a certain extent offset the seal on 'Mr. Door'.
"Or 'Mr. Door' can use his own corruption to obtain power from the full moon and temporarily get rid of the power of the seal to a certain extent, approaching the real world.
"The latter is more likely. If it is the former, 'Mr. Door' is likely to be in a semi-mad state during the full moon.
"In addition, although He is rational during the full moon, it may be because He has been corrupted, or because the existence occupying the Crimson Moon has tampered with Him, making His attempts to communicate with His descendants become maddening whispers, making it almost impossible for anyone to know what He is saying.
"If one day you can understand what He is saying, either you are strong enough to block those tampering or contaminations, or He is bewitching you!"
Fors asked: "Whispers of the full moon?"
"Yes," Hobert nodded.
Cattleya was slightly taken aback: Why didn't I hear whispers during the full moon? Can only members of the Abraham family hear these whispers?
Then she realized a key question: The Crimson Moon is occupied by "Outer Gods"? Is it because of His occupation that the blood moon phenomenon occurs? This reminds me of the "Primordial Moon"!
Emlyn didn't know the details of Miss Magician: For blood clans, the full moon is when our power is at its fullest, but even the most learned Crimson Scholars among the blood clans have never announced that there will be whispers during the full moon!
Fors asked again: "What are the whispers of 'Mr. Door' saying?"
"The great 'Creator' said that He was warning His descendants not to rescue Him!" Hobert brought out his big name.
Everyone was stunned, and then their hearts were immediately filled with questions.
Under the cover of the gray fog, Klein was somewhat surprised: I thought before that 'Mr. Door' was asking for help, but I didn't expect the opposite to be true?
Fors was slightly taken aback: Why is He telling the descendants of the Abraham family not to save Him? Is it because He has been corrupted? Once there is an opportunity, He reminds His descendants not to encounter such corruption as He did?
Cattleya was more concerned: "So Emperor Roselle established contact with 'Mr. Door' and communicated with Him during the full moon?"
Hobert nodded: "That should be the case."
"The Hermit" Cattleya quickly asked: "Then has the Emperor also been corrupted?"
Hobert pondered for a moment before saying: "As far as I know, he has been corrupted to a certain extent, a corruption that is difficult to detect!"
The other members, including Klein, sat up straight, their expressions or body movements showing their surprise.
Klein sighed: I clearly had some guesses, but at this moment when I know the exact answer, I still can't help but be a little surprised.
Then he worried: I read Roselle's diary, could I also have been corrupted because of this?
Audrey was somewhat detached from the state of Spectator: Oh my god, Emperor Roselle was actually corrupted by "Outer Gods"! Then, which of the eccentric words and deeds he did were made under the influence of corruption? Which were made under normal circumstances?
"Little Sun" leaned back in his chair: Suddenly I feel that the outside world is so dangerous!
Emlyn smiled: This is really an unexpected thing. Humans are really a fragile race. Like us blood clans, we are rarely corrupted.
But thinking of those adults lying in coffins who were not in good condition, Emlyn's idea was somewhat lacking in confidence.
Cattleya was the first to recover from her surprise: "Then will the Emperor bring this corruption to the people around him?"
"Theoretically, no," Hobert said, "Because this corruption is very weak and will only be used at specific times."
"The Hermit" breathed a sigh of relief, then the Queen was not affected.
Fors asked: "We often hear the whispers of the full moon, especially when the blood moon is clearer, will we also be corrupted?"
"No," Hobert said, "As I said before, this is when 'Mr. Door' is somewhat rational. Of course, He will not give His corruption to His descendants."
There may be slight corruption, but Hobert believed that it was only possible to be used by the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" after leaving the earth and entering the cosmos.
Klein asked from manipulating "The World": "We know so much information about Emperor Roselle, about 'Mr. Door', won't we be corrupted because of this?"
Hobert understood that what Klein really cared about was whether he would be corrupted because he had read so many of Roselle's diaries?
So he replied: "Here we have Mr. Fool's protection, and this giant hall's protection. As long as we don't bring this information to the real world, we will not be harmed in any way."
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, manipulating "The World": "That's good!"
Fors asked again: "What is the current state of 'Mr. Door'?"
Hobert pondered for a moment before saying: "In my opinion, the seals of the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms are, to some extent, a kind of protection for Him!
"Until now, He has not been completely corrupted and fallen into complete madness, but the corruption He has suffered is already very serious and will constantly lure some people to the cosmos, eventually causing more people to be corrupted."
Fors nodded thoughtfully: He has not been completely corrupted, which means there is still hope of being rescued?
Thinking of this, she shook her head: Doing so is very dangerous, and may even bring great danger to the entire real world. It's better not to make such assumptions! The cosmos is so terrible, I won't go even if I have such abilities in the future!
Audrey sighed: It has been more than a thousand years, and 'Mr. Door's' call is still continuing. Thinking about it seriously, such an encounter is really despairing!
Klein noticed the first half of "The Emperor's" words: Could this be another secret arrangement of the gods? Perhaps the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms were not sure of killing 'Mr. Door', so they joined forces to seal Him?
Cattleya frowned: It's a pity that after performing psychological suggestion later, I may only remember that 'Mr. Door's' condition is not very good after leaving this gray fog, and I won't be able to pass all the information to the Queen.
"Little Sun" and Emlyn felt like they were listening to a story the whole time and didn't have any sense of involvement. The former was because they were in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" and felt that these things were far away from them. The latter was because he was a bit carefree and always felt that this was a matter of the "human world" and had nothing to do with him, a Sanguine.
Seeing that everyone no longer had any questions, Hobert said: "This transaction ends here!"
Cattleya seemed to have just recovered: "I would also like to ask, what specific effects did Emperor Roselle suffer?"
"Because Emperor Roselle jumped to the 'Black Emperor' pathway, I do know some inside information about this." Hobert smiled. "But that's another transaction."
She was about to initiate a new transaction, but then she thought that this information must involve "Above the Sequence" again. Even if the transaction was completed, it would be difficult to bring these messages out. It would be better to wait until the Queen's questions involved the Emperor again in the future, and trade with the Emperor together.
As usual, for most of the next minute, everyone was still immersed in the information they had just heard.
Although the previous transaction did not yield any shocking news, it changed their impression of Emperor Roselle again, and invisibly subverted some cognitions!
After most of a minute, "The World" looked around and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to sell a magical item. I named it 'Biological Poison Bottle'."
He briefly described the magical item he obtained when helping Miss Bodyguard fight against the members of the "Rose School".
Seeing that no one spoke, Klein couldn't help but let "The World" add: "Everyone can help me find a buyer, and I will give a certain commission to the member who sells it."
Hobert then asked: "How much are you planning to sell it for?"
"5200 pounds!" Klein immediately manipulated "The World" to quote.
"5200 pounds." Emlyn repeated the price softly, without any extra thoughts.
Cattelya paused obviously, as if thinking of something, before saying: "It's not necessary for me."
Audrey keenly read the other party's emotions: Miss Hermit seemed to be afraid of something.
"Hermit" Cattelya was just considering that Frank Lee might do some terrible experiments after coming into contact with the "Biological Poison Bottle". Because this magical item has an aphrodisiac effect, she didn't want to see the crew's children growing on the deck of the "Future", or the moo-mooing kind.
"I want it!" Fors suddenly said. She believed that selling this magical item at the auction house could fetch at least 8,000 to 10,000 pounds, after all, it was a Grade 2 Sealed Artifact.
Then she seemed to think of something, and then said: "Is it possible to accept payment in the form of gold lire?"
Klein sighed secretly and manipulated "The World" to say: "Sorry, not accepting it for the time being."
"Then I need some time to raise the pounds! How about we complete the transaction tomorrow?" Fors basically had gold lire in her hand, and she still had to find Hobert to exchange for this large pound transaction.
As for Hobert on the opposite side, seeing that Fors had a bit of the posture of a lord's wife, he quietly watched her complete the transaction.
Even if Fors didn't make a move, Hobert also planned to complete the transaction with Klein. After all, this kind of Grade 2 Sealed Artifact was still very easy to sell. If auctioned, it could at least be used as the finale auction item.
It didn't matter if "The Emperor" and "The World" completed the transaction and then handed it over to the auction house for processing. Hobert had already given Fors a heads-up in advance, telling her that the auction house would also handle the spoils of other dependents of the "Creator".
At that time, the "Biological Poison Bottle" could be said to be a commodity to be disposed of by a dependent of the "Creator".
Of course, Klein had no objection to Miss Magician's request. He manipulated "The World" and said: "No problem."
He thought it would be difficult to complete the transaction just now, but he didn't expect that this transaction, although a bit tortuous, was finally completed.
In fact, Klein originally planned to sell this magical item to "Justice" or "Hermit", but these two ladies didn't seem very interested.
What he didn't expect was that the final buyer was Miss Magician, who usually spoke very little!
After the transaction, Cattelya couldn't help but guess with a frown: Judging from Miss Magician's accent, it's a bit of Backlund accent. Why would she use gold lire as the settlement currency? Could it be that she grew up in Backlund, but was recently sent to the Fenebpotter Kingdom by her family?
In Cattelya's opinion, this Miss Magician was becoming more and more mysterious!
Emlyn exclaimed: Miss Magician, who usually looks very low-key, is very rich! Although she said she was going back to raise pounds, if it was settled in gold lire, the transaction might have been completed immediately!
After the transaction was completed, "The World" spoke again: "I have a 'Book of Secrets', which is a book on mysticism by 'Shaman King' Klarman of the Southern Continent, suitable for 'Mid Sequence' Beyonders with a good foundation.
"Price, 1000 gold pounds!"
The life of a rich man has put a lot of financial pressure on Mr. Fool. Now he spends about 10 pounds as soon as he opens his eyes every day, and this is just the servants' salary, not counting other expenses.
Audrey smiled and said, "This is exactly what I want."
Fors was also very interested: "I also hope to get it!"
This made Klein couldn't help but sigh: The ladies of the Tarot Club are generally richer than the men! "The Moon" Emlyn also seemed very interested, but had a "I have no money" expression. As for "The Hanged Man", who had just had a big expense last week, he probably couldn't buy anything recently.
Audrey said to "Magician" Fors: "Why don't we crowdfund it? 500 pounds each, you read it for a few days, and I read it for a few days."
"The World" said: "You can get the whole 'Book of Secrets' by praying to Mr. Fool, and you can browse it in your mind!"
Audrey praised: "That's great!"
This suddenly reminded Hobert of a scene: In the elementary school classroom, an elementary school student opened the textbook, held a handful of air and pressed it on his forehead, as if this process could stuff the knowledge in the textbook into his little head!
Mr. Fool's ability made that child's wish come true.
