Edward immediately looked at the Hanged Man and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Mr. Hanged Man?"
"Mr. Gaota, please read this book~ +Don't make any mistakes in the content/"
Alger looked as if he couldn't say anything. "Something unexpected happened."
"What?"
"It's about that extraordinary item you were going to buy, and it was taken away from you."
Alger's tone was filled with resentment and shame.
Edward: "...and where's my money?"
"I paid first."
"…"
Edward was silent for a moment. "So what's the situation now?"
Alger gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you at the original price, but... it will take some time. If... I can get that extraordinary item back, then... I will sell it to you at half the price, no! One third of the price!"
The second half of the sentence is pure bullshit.
Edward asked, "Who robbed it?"
"It's still unclear at the moment. It seems that the other party was originally targeting people who sell extraordinary items. I was just implicated."
Edward thought for a moment and asked again, "Do you need my help?"
"unnecessary!"
Alger said without hesitation, while secretly glancing at Mr. Fool. Losing things and money was embarrassing enough. If he still needed other members to help him settle it, how would he survive in the Tarot Club in the future?
"…"
Okay.
"sorry."
Alger placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly. "I promise, I will definitely return the 7,500 gold pounds you paid me!"
At worst... I can use the coordinates of that mysterious island to offset part of it.
Chapter 284 Action Begins
Edward comforted him, "Well, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, Mr. Hanged Man. Your own safety is the most important thing."
"Thank you. Ka. Ka* Xiao? Tax^Wang - the latest* Zhang+Jie, Geng* Xin? Chopsticks?"
Alger looked at Mr. Fool: "Mr. Fool, thank you for your help as well."
Klein said calmly at this time: "Mr. Hanged Man, why don't you explain to the Tower why you are so unlucky?"
He shook his head. "I think these are just excuses."
Klein nodded: "Okay, let's stop here."
As he said this, he cut off the connection with the two of them and left the gray fog.
...
The Blue Vengeance.
Roy King was feeding a bottle of potion to a crew member when he suddenly heard a faint click. He immediately stood up and walked to the side, making sure no one was paying attention. He then pulled out an exquisite ring box from his arms and opened it:
Inside was a milky white dice, but this time it was turned to the 1 side.
Roy Jin's face turned pale. The worst bad luck he had experienced before was only 2 points, but now there was 1 point! He stared blankly at the boundless sea around him:
What kind of disaster will he suffer next?
Pirates? Thunderstorms? Tsunamis? Undersea monsters? Or something else?
Time passed second by second, and none of the expected disasters happened.
Roy King was a little confused. He opened the ring box again and took a look to confirm that there was indeed a blood-red dot on it. But why didn't it happen?
Or is it that the Dice of Probability is holding back on a big one?
no.
I'd better stop dragging Alger and the others down. I might as well just jump into the sea.
Just as I was thinking about this, there was a click and the dice flipped again, and this time it was 6.
"???"
Almost the next moment, the sea around the Blue Revenge seemed to boil, and fish broke through the sea and jumped high, landing on the deck.
A group of crew members saw more and more fish on the deck, which soon piled up into a small hill. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Roy Jin murmured, "Is the bad luck of 1 o'clock really going to pass by like this without any harm?"
At this moment, the first mate in charge of observing the route shouted: "Captain, a pirate ship was spotted 3 nautical miles ahead."
Alger walked quickly out of the captain's room.
"It's suspected to be Vice Admiral Disease's Black Death!"
Alger took the telescope and looked over. He saw a black-painted ship approaching on the sea in the distance. A huge white flag with a skull painted on it was flying on its mast.
Alger took a deep breath, glanced at the puzzled Roy King, and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"
"Wait a minute, Captain. The other side's flag signal seems to indicate that they have no ill intentions."
"Is this your first day at sea? Trusting the goodwill of other pirates?"
However, Alger, who was well aware of the difference in strength between the two sides, still asked everyone to be cautious and not to take the initiative.
More than ten minutes later, the Black Death stopped a few hundred meters away. Tracy, wearing a white linen shirt and a dark red coat, appeared at the bow. "The Blue Revenge? I remember you, Gehrman Sparrow's friend?"
Alger was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right."
"I heard that you were robbed on Dainos Island?"
Damn, who is so quick to speak? It's only been one afternoon and it's spread all over the world?
The corner of Alger's mouth twitched, "What?"
"I can help you."
"Why?"
She smiled charmingly: "Because I owe Hermann some favors."
...
The next morning, when Klein investigated the clues of the maid in Prince Edessak's manor and returned to No. 15 Minsk Street, he found a note on the coffee table. The handwriting was elegant and restrained:
"Meet at the back door of the Brave Bar at 10 o'clock tonight."
Klein was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look out the window, and sighed silently:
"Is it finally about to begin..."
At the same time, Edward also received a message from Sharon: Take action at 10 o'clock tonight!
In a townhouse in the West District, the vampire Viscount Ounes also received a letter from Casimi: Take action tonight.
...
9:50pm.
Edward, who had learned ballroom dancing for another afternoon, quietly came to the Brave Bar wearing an invisibility cloak.
Ten minutes later, Klein and Sharon Maric met in the back and agreed on an action plan and arrangement. They then took a carriage driven by zombies and came to the West Balam Dockyard warehouse area, which had been abandoned for a year and was about to be renovated, to prepare to ambush the three pursuers from the Rose School.
Sharon and Maric then left to lure the enemy, while Klein buried the explosives prepared by Maric in various places. He did not expect to use these explosives to cause harm to the enemy, but to prepare for his own magician's performance.
Edward nodded repeatedly after reading it: "Hmm! As expected of our Mr. Fool, he is quite a man of the scene!"
Not long after, three figures rushed into the warehouse area at an extremely fast speed.
The one running in the front was Maric, followed closely by a werewolf and a zombie from the Rose School.
A few minutes later, the two sides began fighting.
Thanks to the prior ambush, Maric managed to fight the opponent to a draw at the beginning, but as the battle continued, the weakness of the Temperance card compared to the Indulgence card gradually emerged.
Sharon then took action, but was suppressed by the werewolf Tyr who was well prepared using the Crimson Moon Crown.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Taier held up the palm-sized round ornament that glowed with crimson light and laughed:
"Master Steve is right. You will definitely try to counterattack. And the person you are controlling, Sharon, must be Jason, who is one level higher than me. So, he gave me the Crimson Moon Corona."
"Guess where he is now?"
Jason, with the help of the glow of the crimson moon crown, indulged himself in the pleasure brought by lust. Without having to suppress his desires, his strength would instead increase significantly.
"I wonder what Sharon would look like without clothes, hahahaha."
He licked his tongue and laughed. Just as he was about to launch an attack, the blessing brought by the crimson moon crown suddenly... disappeared. The cruelty and madness in his eyes froze, and he looked at Tyr in confusion.
"Tyr...you...where is the Crimson Moon Crown?"
"???"
Werewolf Tyr looked at his raised empty hands in a daze. Yes, where did my big, round and red crimson crimson crown go?
Sharon and Maric rushed over without hesitation, and then the hedonistic ghost Steve also joined the battle. Klein used the All-Black Eye to capture the existence of the ghost, and used the golden sunbird brooch and purification bullets to attack it.
In the original book, with the interference of the Crimson Moon Corona, Sharon and the others were able to seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory at the critical moment. Now without the Crimson Moon Corona, they are obviously much more relaxed.
Edward was sitting invisible a few hundred meters above them, holding a crimson round ornament in his hand. That's right, he used [Enlarge] + [Steal] to steal the Crimson Moon Corona.
Even though they had agreed that he wouldn't have to take action unless the demigod of the Rose School showed up, now that he was already here, he couldn't just sit there and watch the show, right?
At this moment, endless illusory light burst out from Sharon's palms. They absorbed Sharon's spirituality and intertwined into a bronze door covered with mysterious patterns and filled with indescribable smells.
In the gap of the door, pairs of arms, some pale, some transparent, some full of teeth, some bloody and skinless, stretched out, crossed the void, and grabbed Jason, the zombie who was repelled by Maric!
Maric's body suddenly stiffened, and he actually reached out to grab Jason, pulling him back from the gate little by little - he was possessed by Steve's ghost!
