Chapter 90: Another

Chapter 90: Another

I knew Miss Justice would ask after seeing that extra card… Easy. I muddled through another question without effort…

Klein chuckled inwardly. With a casual bearing, he flipped over the new Card of Blasphemy and displayed it to Justice.

“Tyrant.”

As expected, Gehrman Sparrow handed it over… Is this Mr. Fool’s goal?

The Hanged Man Alger was the first to catch sight of Emperor Roselle wearing a triple crown, and inwardly sighed twice.

He had already obtained the potion formula for Cataclysmic Interrer and understood what kind of ritual was required. At that moment, he was in an excellent mood, feeling that although obstacles remained along the path ahead, light shone upon it, filling it with hope.

Justice Audrey also quickly took in every detail of that Card of Blasphemy.

“The Tyrant card… It looks like the Sailor pathway. I really envy Mr. Hanged Man… Huh, Mr. Hanged Man shows no surprise or shock at all… From a psychological perspective, his reaction should be stronger than ours! Mm, he already knew beforehand that this was the Sailor pathway’s Card of Blasphemy?

“After eliminating all impossibilities, that is the only explanation… But how would Mr. Hanged Man know in advance?

“Sequence 0: Tyrant… The Lord of Storms’s corresponding potion name is Tyrant?

“This Tyrant card should be the prototype of the Pope card, but the specific meaning differs somewhat. Some parts match, some are closer to the reversed position, and some are extensions… In short, the card’s interpretation is that it represents conservative ideas, emphasizes obedience on the spiritual level, relies on authority and power, creates fear, and brings faith…”

As Audrey, who had loved mysticism knowledge since childhood, interpreted the card, she felt an intense satisfaction. She believed that offering those three pages of Roselle’s diary had been far too worthwhile!

Card of Blasphemy… Mm…

The Hermit Cattleya, who was also skilled at interpretation and possessed abundant knowledge, quickly understood which pathway the card represented. In a blank region of her own understanding, she added the information “Sequence 0: Tyrant.”

Aside from this, she also thought of certain matters:

“The World Gehrman Sparrow planned the fall of Sea God Kalvetua. Because of that, Mr. Fool obtained the short scepter symbolizing the Sea God’s authority and began answering believers in the Sea God’s name…

“This time, He has obtained the Tyrant card of the Storm pathway…

“This absolutely is not a coincidence…”

As she thought, the Hermit Cattleya suddenly shuddered, suspecting that Mr. Fool was quietly encroaching upon the Lord of Storms’s authority!

A struggle between deities! An enormous plan with meticulous arrangements and far-reaching influence! Is this one of Mr. Fool’s true goals?

Thought after thought flashed through Cattleya’s mind, making her unconsciously withdraw her gaze, not daring to look at the Tyrant card again.

The Magician Fors and the Moon Emlyn did not know much about Sequence 0. They had only heard Mr. Fool mention it once during a previous Tarot Gathering. At that moment, they were merely astonished that this was a Card of Blasphemy. They vaguely connected the title “Tyrant” and the name of a Sequence 0 potion with the Lord of Storms. One of them trembled a little, feeling that she was committing blasphemy, while the other naturally followed the association and began guessing what the Sequence 0 of the artificial vampire pathway was called.

It has to be Moon! Or Red Moon!

Emlyn’s thoughts turned, and he found an answer. As for whether it was correct, he did not care. In any case, he felt it must be very close to the truth.

The Sun Derrick had received very solid mysticism education in the City of Silver and was no stranger to the concept of Sequence 0. He had even always set his own goal at that level, because only by reaching it could he bring light and warmth, hope and future, to the City of Silver.

This should represent the Elven King Soniathrym… So it is called Tyrant… But His “authority” seems to have been a little broader than what this card shows…

Derrick rarely felt such a deep sense of participation.

After displaying the card for two seconds, the Fool Klein turned the Tyrant card face down again and casually glanced at Madam Hermit.

Cattleya hurriedly said, “Honorable Mr. Fool, I have no new Roselle diary pages this time.”

As expected…

Klein gave a small nod and said with a smile, “It is your turn.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the World Gehrman Sparrow looked toward the Hanged Man.

“After this gathering ends, I will give you that Ocean Songster Beyonder characteristic. Help me find an Artisan to craft it into a portable mystical item.”

A-another Ocean Songster Beyonder characteristic?

The same thought simultaneously surfaced in Justice Audrey’s, the Moon Emlyn’s, and others’ hearts.

A Sequence 5 powerhouse was not a carrot one could casually buy from a street stall!

And Mr. World had already killed several over the past month or two!

Could it truly be that some quasi-high-ranking member of the Church of Storms was killed this time?

Starting from her guess that Mr. Fool was encroaching upon the Lord of Storms’s authority, the Hermit Cattleya formed a certain idea.

The Magician Fors feared Gehrman Sparrow even more, repeatedly warning herself not to use those two pages in her notebook that recorded demigod-level Beyonder abilities!

The Sun Derrick could not help thinking of the City of Silver’s team operations to clear out monsters from a region. In that dark and despairing environment, every time they harvested Sequence 5 main ingredients or Beyonder characteristics, the quantity was not large—and sometimes there were none at all.

“Alright.” The Hanged Man Alger, who had long since made a promise, replied calmly, without mentioning the Artisan’s crafting fee.

This allowed Justice Audrey, the Hermit Cattleya, and the others to detect a clue. They suspected that Mr. World and Mr. Hanged Man had privately cooperated and discussed certain matters. This matched the detail Audrey had noticed—Mr. Hanged Man had known in advance that the Card of Blasphemy was the Tyrant card—making her guess that the Tyrant card might have been one of the gains from their private cooperation!

Before they could speak and ask about the items they each needed, the World Gehrman Sparrow, under Klein’s control, swept his gaze around and said, “I also have a Black Emperor pathway Sequence 5 Chaos Mentor Beyonder characteristic. If made into a mystical item, it should possess abilities that use loopholes in order to distort a target’s speech, will, and actions, while also enhancing physique and creating chaos within a certain range.”

The reason he described it in such detail was because his target customers were Miss Justice and Madam Hermit. Neither of these two could possibly switch to the Black Emperor pathway, so their need for a Beyonder characteristic would naturally be focused on mystical items. Of course, the latter might also buy Beyonder characteristics for subordinates or organization members.

Another… And again Sequence 5… What major thing did Mr. World do last week?

For a moment, Justice Audrey actually forgot to develop interest in that Beyonder characteristic.

The Hermit Cattleya, the Moon Emlyn, and the others looked at one another, not knowing which Sequence 5 powerhouse had been killed this time.

Again!

What concerned the Hanged Man Alger more was that this belonged to the Black Emperor pathway, corresponding to Sequence 5 Chaos Mentor.

This was information he had not previously possessed.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Justice Audrey began savoring Mr. World’s words just now:

Seizing loopholes in order… creating chaos, enhancing the body, distorting a target’s speech, will, and actions… It suddenly feels rather suited to dear Earl Hall… And I would like to have such an ability too. Relying only on myself and Lie, I still have too many shortcomings…

Mm, first I should clarify the price. I can find a chance to ask Father whether he is interested in buying such a mystical item for himself—or for his adorable daughter…

After thinking for a few seconds, Audrey slightly raised her hand.

“Mr. World, what do you intend to exchange for it? Or how many gold pounds do you plan to sell it for?”

A finished mystical item like Death Knell would reasonably be priced between ten thousand and twelve thousand pounds… Just the Beyonder characteristic should certainly be cheaper. Seven to eight thousand pounds should be about right…

Klein had already calculated it before. He considered it again now, then had the World Gehrman Sparrow answer, “8,000 pounds.”

He knew that if Miss Justice was truly interested, she likely would not bargain.

“Mm.” Audrey nodded, then looked toward the opposite side. “Mr. Hanged Man, roughly how much would it cost to have such a Beyonder characteristic made into a mystical item by an Artisan?”

Alger quickly estimated and said, “1,500 pounds, at least. It may increase.”

“Alright.” Justice Audrey shifted her gaze to the World Gehrman Sparrow. “I will consider it for a few days and give you an answer within this week. You can continue asking whether anyone else wants it.”

The World silently nodded and lifted his eyes to look at the other members. He saw that Madam Hermit hesitated for two seconds before ultimately choosing not to speak, while the others had interest and only interest.

Just as Justice Audrey was preparing to inquire about the fruit of the Illusory Chime Tree, all members heard the World Gehrman Sparrow say hoarsely, “There is one more Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic. Planter pathway, Druid.”

In an instant, the entire palace resembling a giant’s residence turned extremely quiet. Apart from Mr. Fool, who leisurely watched the crowd, only the Hanged Man Alger had no excess thoughts arise.

A-another one… Since when have Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristics become so common? What exactly did he do?

The Hermit Cattleya suddenly felt something indescribable. She only felt that she herself had taken risks and labored bitterly for many years, yet there was essentially no difference between her and the merchandise in the World Gehrman Sparrow’s hands.

T-too terrifying…

The Magician Fors had already imagined a whole series of stories in her mind.

Amazing!

The Sun Derrick admired Mr. World more and more.

Justice Audrey and the Moon Emlyn were silent for quite a while, feeling the poverty of their own vocabulary in that instant.

Only after nearly ten seconds did the Hermit Cattleya finally read the hidden meaning in the World Gehrman Sparrow’s words.

He did not mention the effects of making the Druid Beyonder characteristic into a mystical item… Is he asking me whether I want to buy it for Frank?

At that moment, Cattleya felt more conflicted than ever before.
