Chapter 135: Investigation Mission

When he looked toward the Hermit Cattleya, Klein had actually already guessed what request she would make. His heart was filled with both a quiet sigh and certainty.

Mr. Fool knows I want to ask a question, not make a request… As expected of Mr. Fool…

Cattleya’s thoughts turned, and she spoke respectfully.

“Honorable Mr. Fool, I wish to know the meaning of these two symbols.”

After obtaining permission, she manifested two Chinese characters: “故” and “乡.”

As expected…

Klein silently sighed and said, “Together, they mean hometown—the destination of the heart and spirit.”

Together… the destination of the heart and spirit…

The Hermit Cattleya placed her focus on the latter half of the sentence, because she knew very well where the Queen of Mysteries’s hometown was and did not believe there was anything particularly special about that place.

Justice Audrey, the Hanged Man Alger, and the other Tarot Club members seized this opportunity to learn new “Roselle characters,” forcefully memorizing the shape and meaning of the two symbols. The only exception was the Sun Derrick.

The Fool Klein said nothing more. He leaned back against his chair and said, “You may begin.”

The Hanged Man Alger immediately turned his head and looked toward the World Gehrman Sparrow at the far end of the bronze long table.

“Your mystical item is almost complete. It can be given to you this week.”

He was referring to the mystical item corresponding to the Ocean Songster Beyonder characteristic.

The Artisan had previously prioritized completing Miss Justice’s glove, while the World’s commission had been delayed to this week.

With Mr. Azik not yet having replied and the seal on Creeping Hunger unable to be restored, this mystical item has come at exactly the right time…

Klein controlled the dummy World and had him nod slightly.

“Not too slow.”

Not too slow… If it were delayed another two or three weeks, or perhaps a month, would you Teleport over to pay me a visit?

For some reason, the Hanged Man Alger felt a little wary.

Because his initial plan was to obtain the Cataclysmic Interrer potion from the Church of Storms, and because he had only just begun digesting Ocean Songster, he did not purchase any corresponding Beyonder ingredients. He returned to silence and observed the other members’ transactions.

To Alger, the most important thing right now was to obtain another one or two mystical items and combine them with the Mental Whip. After all, although mystical items valued quality over quantity, and one had to do one’s best to avoid stacking negative effects, for a Sequence 5 quasi-powerhouse to only possess a single item was a fairly embarrassing situation.

Under normal circumstances, for Sequence 5 Beyonders, having two or three mystical items whose negative effects would not mutually reinforce each other was the best arrangement.

Of course, Alger had already ordered one. Once the Artisan completed Gehrman Sparrow’s item, it would be the turn of his six-winged gargoyle core crystal.

For this, he needed to spend 1,000 pounds. Combined with the fee he had helped the World pay, his already limited cash had been reduced by a full 2,000 pounds, leaving only 1,800 pounds. Among that, 500 pounds was commission earned from Miss Justice’s glove.

Seeing that no one spoke for a short while, the Moon Emlyn turned his gaze toward the Sun and, after weighing his words, asked, “I need a Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic. What would you like in exchange?”

During this period, he had already asked within the Sanguine and learned that there were methods to remove mental corruption from Beyonder characteristics, but one had to make sufficient contributions to apply for them.

Therefore, Emlyn planned to first obtain the main potion ingredient needed for advancement, then consider the other problems.

According to his observations, such a Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic was…
