"Alright!" Moon Emlyn White naturally didn't know The Hanged Man Alger's complicated feelings. At this moment, his only emotion was probably excitement.
Excitement for himself, who was about to become a Vampire Baron.
Mr. Moon is so rich. When will I be that rich…? Witnessing two large transactions being completed before her eyes, Magician Fors couldn't help but think of her meager wallet, and she immediately sighed.
Her recent income was actually quite substantial. Not to mention anything else, just a few days ago, when Rudy came to collect her manuscript, he gave her a hefty two thousand pounds in manuscript fees, which instantly made Magician Fors, who had never received so much manuscript fees at once in her life, feel that writing custom stories for him wouldn't be bad.
But even with those two thousand, Magician Fors could only scrape together about two thousand five hundred gold pounds in total. Such an amount of money was a lot for the middle class, but in the extraordinary Domain, it was nothing. It was only enough to buy one decent Beyonder weapon.
Fortunately, my Astrologer potion formula doesn't cost money, and Teacher has also prepared some of the Materials for me… Thinking of this, Magician Fors immediately thanked Teacher Dorian sincerely in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she still couldn't suppress the desire in her heart and spoke:
"I want to buy a mystical item, priced under two thousand gold pounds, one that focuses on combat, and doesn't have too many negative side effects."
Magician Fors did not make this request on a whim. The main reason was that the Apprentice pathway, whether it was Sequence 9 Apprentice, Sequence 8 Trickmaster, or the Astrologer Sequence she was about to advance to, were all flashy abilities, lacking direct offensive capabilities.
And she was too far from Sequence 6 Scribe, not knowing when she would be able to advance. So, at this stage, she planned to purchase a powerful mystical item to make up for her own shortcomings.
"I'll help you keep an eye out, but I can't guarantee finding a suitable one," The Hanged Man Alger said. He was now burdened with huge debts, so he naturally didn't mind earning a little extra.
"I'll help you keep an eye out too," Lin Ruo also said with a smile. Although he had quite a few mystical items in his possession, he truly didn't have any that met Magician Fors's requirements.
However, the corner of Lin Ruo's eye glanced at "World," because he remembered that Fool Klein did have a rather suitable mystical item in his possession.
That was a "failed product" he had created after simulating the Artisan ability once before, using the characteristics of the Witch that Fool Klein had hunted during his first characteristic graduation exam.
Fool Klein naturally noticed Lin Ruo's gaze. He immediately recalled the mystical item in his junk pile. After thinking for a moment, he had "World" speak:
"I have a mystical item from the Witch pathway. It's called 'Witch's Heart,' corresponding to the Sequence 7 level, and its appearance is a necklace. 'Witch's Heart' can provide the wearer with invisibility and the ability to use a substitute, making the wearer more agile and able to control ice and black flames, while also increasing the wearer's charm to a certain extent."
"It has two negative side effects. One is that long-term wear will gradually feminize the wearer's body, which is ineffective for you. The other is that after each use, the wearer is more likely to be aroused by malice in their heart, but it's not serious, roughly equivalent to being in a bad mood under normal circumstances."
—That's right, this is why Lin Ruo called this mystical item a "failed product." In terms of ability alone, this mystical item can actually be considered powerful, but its negative effect of gradually feminizing the wearer's body made Lin Ruo and Fool Klein, this teacher-student pair, look at each other in dismay, then directly throw it into the junk pile and never inquire about it again.
Upon hearing this description, the members of the Tarot Club immediately had varied expressions. The male members who had originally become interested due to the effects immediately looked down, losing interest in the item.
As female members, Magician Fors and Justice Audrey were clearly both interested, especially Justice Audrey, whose eyes immediately lit up. If it weren't for the fact that this item was already reserved by Young Miss Magician, she might have directly made an offer and used her rich lady power to buy it.
"If I were to buy it, how many gold pounds would it cost?" Magician Fors weighed it in her heart and asked.
"The price is 1900 pounds," Fool Klein said, controlling "World." The price of a normal Sequence 7 mystical item is generally between 1500 and 2000 pounds. Given the effects of "Witch's Heart," 1900 pounds is considered a relatively normal price.
So expensive… Magician Fors seemed to hear her wallet wailing, but she also knew that given the effects of "Witch's Heart," this price was not expensive.
However, holding onto the mindset of saving as much as possible, Magician Fors tentatively asked, "Can it be a little cheaper?"
Fool Klein, who was not surprised by this, had "World" fall silent for a moment, as if contemplating, then said in a hoarse voice, "At most 50 pounds cheaper."
"Okay." Magician Fors nodded. She wasn't an insatiably greedy person; being able to save 50 pounds was already very satisfying.
This way, my wallet can finally be a bit richer, no longer just a few hundred pounds… Fool Klein felt a little happy in his heart. Being able to sell something that was gathering dust in the warehouse at a good price was a pleasant thing no matter what.
What a pity… Witnessing the completion of this transaction, Justice Audrey immediately sighed in her heart. She was quite fond of "Witch's Heart," but since it was reserved by Young Miss Magician, she naturally wouldn't snatch it.
After this transaction was completed, Fool Klein once again controlled "World" to inquire about the supplementary ingredients for the Marionettist potion, the eyes of a "Six-Winged Gargoyle," and Sun Derrick inquired about the Materials for the Sun pathway Sequence 6, but unfortunately, neither of them got what they wished for.
After the trading session ended, everyone naturally moved into the free exchange and information sharing segment.
After a few seconds of silence, Fool Klein controlled "World" to look at himself, then spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Something interesting has happened recently in the Rorsted Archipelago."
"What interesting thing?" Justice Audrey immediately asked curiously.
The Hanged Man Alger's eyelids twitched. Knowing what it was, he remained silent, not speaking up voluntarily.
"World" continued: "The Sea God Sect, which worships the Sea God Kalvetua in the Rorsted Archipelago, encountered a problem. The statue of the Sea God they worship shattered for no reason, and he no longer responded to them… However, they later reshaped the statue and promoted a new covenant, and they once again received a response from the Sea God."
As expected… The Hanged Man Alger restrained himself from looking up at Mr. Fool.
But what does this have to do with Mr. Fool? Why did World look at Mr. Fool before speaking? Hmm, Mr. Hanged Man's reaction seems a bit off…
Justice Audrey naturally couldn't fail to notice The Hanged Man Alger's reaction. She, who had initially just listened to this as an interesting anecdote, was suddenly startled. Being a master of overthinking, she instantly connected everything.
Mr. Chariot is funding the Rebel Army in the Rorsted Archipelago, which is the Sea God Sect… The Sea God Sect's statue shattered… A new statue, a new covenant… Mr. World specifically brought up this matter and even looked at Mr. Fool, seemingly confirming Mr. Fool's attitude… And Mr. World is a Blessed of The Fool, so his actions must have a deeper meaning…
Could it be that Mr. Fool replaced the Sea God Kalvetua?!
