Chapter 113: Domains

Before The Hermit could answer, Justice Audrey added, “If you believe this information is important and cannot be exchanged for free, I can pay a certain reward.”

“No, there is no need. Anyone familiar with members of the Church of the Earth Mother in Feynapotter would know something about this.” The Hermit Cattleya did not doubt Miss Justice’s sincerity toward equivalent exchange, and believed that the other party had sufficient wealth or resources to meet whatever price she named. Even so, she decided to reveal part of the information for free.

First, this would improve Miss Justice’s opinion of her and lay a foundation for possible future transactions. Second, by throwing out information, she could observe the reactions of the Tarot Club members and infer their positions within their respective organizations and forces.

I can also be considered familiar with Bishop Utravsky, a Blessed of the Earth Mother, but I do not understand this corresponding situation at all… Of course, I am indeed a little afraid of him. His height and build are far too oppressive. Every time, I try to communicate only with Emlyn White… At the head of the bronze long table, The Fool Klein mocked himself inwardly.

The Hermit Cattleya continued without pause, speaking on her own, “Vampire belongs to the Moon pathway. Its corresponding Sequence 9 is Apothecary; Sequence 8 is Beast Tamer; Sequence 6 is Potion Professor; Sequence 5 is Crimson Scholar; Sequence 4 is Shaman King. Beyond that, I am not clear.”

“Ahem.” Emlyn White coughed. “Madam Hermit, I must emphasize one point. It is Blood Clan, not vampire. Heh. If you are referring to humans who obtain our clan’s characteristics by consuming potions as ‘vampires,’ then I have no objection. In fact, I would agree very much.”

So vampires belong to the Apothecary pathway, and Shaman King belongs there too. No wonder they worship the Primordial Moon and do not believe in the Goddess…

Could the Sealed Artifact Miss Sharron obtained, the Crimson Moon Crown, have evolved from the death of a certain Crimson Scholar or Blood Clan Viscount? Aside from creating the effect of a full moon and granting immunity to the corresponding influence, it can provide terrifying speed, unimaginable recovery, and fairly powerful darkness-related spells. Its negative effects can be neutralized by drinking fresh human blood… It really does resemble something derived from the Blood Clan…

Between the different professions of this pathway, some resemble the Seer pathway, lacking obvious connections from one to the next, while others show a certain progression. How strange…

Klein connected scattered things he had seen and heard, gaining a measure of understanding while also feeling somewhat puzzled.

The Hanged Man Alger, The Magician Fors, and the others either fell into thought, listened with great interest, or pretended not to care. Their reactions differed, but The Hermit Cattleya could judge from them that they had not previously known much about information related to vampires.

“Their positions in their own organizations and forces are still around the middle and lower levels, matching the trait of having recently been drawn into the Tarot Club and currently being on a rapid advancement track… The World showed no reaction. Either he is very deep, or he already knew about vampires, or both… After these observations, I must admit that The World is the member of the Tarot Club who deserves the most attention and the most caution…”

Justice Audrey listened with strong interest. After thinking carefully, she raised her hand slightly, as though in a private tutoring lesson.

“Madam Hermit, why is there no necessary connection between the different Sequences of the Moon pathway?”

The Hermit Cattleya glanced at Miss Justice and noticed that her dress and jewelry were completely different from last time. Not a single item was repeated, yet all of them displayed a luxurious and precious air.

In that…
