    Chapter 234: Islands and Ruins

    Mr. World also obtained the Ocean Songster potion formula and main ingredient. He is truly amazing! The Sun Derrick pulled his gaze away from the parchment in his hands and looked toward the gentleman seated at the end of the bronze long table.

    In his heart, The World’s level of might leaped up another grade. He was now already comparable to the weaker members of the six-member council!

    The Magician Fors felt similar astonishment, and her feeling only grew deeper.

    She remembered that when she had first joined the Tarot Club, Mr. World’s most immediate impression on her had been gloomy and restrained. Apart from that, there had been no other distinguishing traits. Later, during gatherings, he had gradually displayed seasoned experience, broad knowledge, and what seemed to be fairly decent capability. At a glance, he was the kind of veteran Beyonder who had lived through many events, the Tarot Club member second only to Mr. Hanged Man.

    Originally, this image was about to settle firmly in Fors’s mind. But over the past few months, Miss Magician had discovered that The World refreshed her understanding again and again.

    First, he had found out quite important information. Then, at short intervals, he had sold off no small number of Beyonder characteristics, making others involuntarily suspect that he was a Beyonder assassin active in the mysterious world. They felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, accompanied by a certain joy, because it meant that certain commissions assigned to Mr. World had a very high success rate.

    When the new member, The Hermit, appeared, The Magician Fors had thought Mr. World’s brilliance would be completely overshadowed by that powerful lady. Who would have known that he would quietly retake the spotlight and make everyone feel a little afraid to look directly at him?

    To obtain the Ocean Songster potion formula, its corresponding main ingredient, and the Notary potion formula within one week simply did not seem like something a human could accomplish!

    He really is impressive. I admire exactly this type: seemingly taciturn, ordinary, and plain, but actually extremely capable. Sigh, I wonder when I can become a viscount. After this hunting competition, the reward for the winner should be a bestowment enough to grant a Sanguine an essential improvement… The Moon Emlyn White quickly turned his thoughts back to his own matters.

    While Justice Audrey sighed and admired, she grew increasingly puzzled by a matter from before.

    Why has someone as impressive as Mr. World never collected Emperor Roselle’s diary? Mm, he isn’t like Madam Hermit, who has only just joined the Tarot Club and still needs observation… Nor is it as if he has no needs, so there is no reason for him not to collect Emperor Roselle’s diary and exchange it with Mr. Fool for corresponding items… Then why does he not collect it?

    Could he have already submitted it privately? But why privately?

    Vaguely, Audrey felt that there was some connection between Mr. World and Mr. Fool, but she could not be certain. After all, there were still many possibilities.

    At that moment, The Hanged Man Alger fell silent for several seconds, then turned sideways and looked toward the seat of honor at the bronze long table.

    “Honorable Mr. Fool, I request a private exchange with The World.”

    Here it comes… Klein nodded with no small anticipation and immediately shielded the senses of the others.

    Alger waited two seconds, then turned his head to look at The World, Gehrman Sparrow.

    “I will use the coordinates of a primitive island unknown to others as exchange.

    “Not only does it contain many Beyonder creatures long extinct on the Northern and Southern Continents, it also hides an ancient ruin of unknown era.

    “Back then, whew, I discovered it together with Qilangos. At the time, we had no ability to explore it deeply. However, he found some traces and suspected that a very precious and extremely important object was…
