"The homeland of the Elves?"
Hanged Man was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself.
Leyton ignored Hanged Man, who was deep in thought. He was considering whether to make a deal with Little Sun, to introduce the Spirit World Sorcerer system to the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
"But the Spirit World of the Forsaken Land of the Gods is also isolated from our outer Spirit World. The Library should not be able to connect there either. It can only be transited through The Fool, which would be too troublesome."
"Let's wait a bit longer. Little Sun and the others don't lack Beyonder characteristic. A system that can currently only reach Sequence 9 or Sequence 8 is not of much use to them."
After some thought, Leyton decided to temporarily shelve the plan of introducing Spirit World Sorcerer to City of Silver.
Moreover, Amon was still wandering in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and a new thing could easily arouse Amon's interest.
When the private communication ended, Miss Justice noticed that Mr. Tower and Hanged Man, who had been shielded earlier, were each lost in thought.
"They seemed to have had some communication just now."
Miss Justice interpreted their states inwardly.
Seeing that the private communication had ended, Leyton timely spoke to Miss Justice:
"Miss Justice, I wonder if you could do me a favor. I have something, well, a mystical item, that needs some testing, and I need your help."
Miss Justice, sitting diagonally opposite, was puzzled upon hearing this, then asked with curiosity:
"What kind of mystical item? Why do you need my help? Will that mystical item have any psychological effects?"
The first kind of help Miss Justice thought she could offer was psychological assistance.
"No."
Leyton shook his head slightly and turned to The Fool at the very top, saying:
"Mr. Fool, may I manifest that item?"
"You may!" The Fool, shrouded in Gray Fog, responded naturally and indifferently.
Leyton then manifested the Unicorn figurine. Every member present curiously watched this lifelike small sculpture.
Leyton cleared his throat, then explained:
"I call it: The Holy Unicorn. It possesses some abilities from the Sun domain, Wind domain, and Life domain. It's considered a supportive mystical item, with a strength roughly equivalent to between Sequence 7 and Sequence 6."
"Its characteristic is that it has its own likes and dislikes. This Holy Unicorn represents nobility, arrogance, and purity, so it will be very resistant to people who do not conform to these traits and cannot be used."
"When used, it needs a certain amount of spirituality injected, and it will briefly come alive, appearing as a real unicorn."
Upon hearing Leyton's description of the unicorn, Miss Justice's eyes lit up slightly. She understood why Mr. Tower needed her help.
This unicorn, both in appearance and ability, satisfied her greatly, and she very much wanted to buy it from him.
After stabilizing her emotions slightly, Miss Justice spoke:
"Mr. Tower, I am very willing to help you with this. I wonder if you have any plans to sell this special mystical item?"
"Sorry, it doesn't entirely belong to me. Its ownership is with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, but I can teach you a ritual magic. You can summon its projection when needed, which is equivalent to a special summoning spell."
Leyton shook his head and explained. Although the Unicorn figurine could not be sold, the ritual magic for summoning its projection did not have this restriction.
Although somewhat disappointed that she couldn't buy this Unicorn figurine that she instantly liked, Miss Justice still controlled her emotions well and spoke again:
"May I ask what price I need to pay to purchase the ritual magic for summoning the projection?"
"No need, consider it your reward for helping me test it. However, this ritual magic is a bit troublesome and requires some prerequisites to learn. If you trust me, we can meet in Backlund, and I will teach you the ritual magic and the matching casting system."
"Of course, if you are not at ease, we can also do it here, and then choose a time for a private communication, with The Fool as a witness."
Leyton intended to take this opportunity to spread the Spirit World Sorcerer system within the Tarot Club.
Upon hearing the request to meet in Backlund, Miss Justice hesitated. Such a meeting in the real world did not align with her initial understanding of the Tarot Club. She asked with some hesitation:
"Casting system? Is it very troublesome?"
"A system different from potions, it cannot be mastered immediately like potions. It requires the learning and accumulation of knowledge. Currently, it only circulates within the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and does not pose much danger. Mr. Fool can serve as a witness."
Leyton gave a more detailed explanation. He understood Miss Justice's concerns, but the Spirit World Sorcerer system was constantly being perfected, and it was impossible to explain it clearly in just a few sentences.
"He's right."
Klein, shrouded in Gray Fog at the very top, explained for this fellow who seemed to be from his hometown.
After receiving confirmation from The Fool, Miss Justice's psychological guard dropped significantly. After a slight hesitation, she said with some trepidation:
"Okay, but the specific time and place must be determined by me. There might also be others involved at that time."
Miss Justice's original idea was to find a shop compartment in a bustling area or a suburban manor, but after careful consideration, she felt that none of these places were suitable.
After much thought, the most suitable place was Viscount Glaint's residence. As a noble of Loen, his home was not lacking in protectors, and she also had a suitable reason to go. At the same time, she could call upon Xio and Fors, who were Beyonders, making it even safer.
"Uh, that doesn't seem right either. Mr. Tower dared to accept the mission to assassinate the Intis ambassador, so his own strength must not be low. Xio and Fors probably can't protect me."
"No, Audrey, what are you thinking? Mr. Tower is not a bad person. He is a companion in the Tarot Club, and from my observation of him during these two Tarot Club meetings, he is just a powerful Beyonder who is a bit lazy and casual."
Miss Justice's rich inner activity was unknown to the others.
Aside from The Fool, who could observe everyone through Spirit Vision at any time, Leyton could also. However, during the Tarot Club, Leyton mostly kept his head down, avoiding his Eyes of Mystery Prying from passively observing others and collecting information.
Self-restraint is a necessary cultivation for a Mystery Pryer.
"No problem. Just notify me once you've set the time and place. I'll tell you my messenger's summoning incantation later."
Leyton nodded, somewhat surprised by Miss Justice's decision. He had originally thought Miss Justice would cautiously choose to conduct the private communication on Gray Fog later.
"As someone who has not yet ascended to the position of the Great Ruler above the Spirit World, I haven't even mastered this Spirit World Sorcerer system yet. And what is the Great Ruler above the Spirit World? I still have to find an opportunity to ask Al about it myself."
Klein, shrouded in Gray Fog, pondered inwardly for a while. He was also very curious about this new casting system, as well as the meaning of 'Great Ruler above the Spirit World,' which might be related to the secrets of the Gray Fog.
After Leyton and Miss Justice reached an agreement, Hanged Man and Little Sun also had some exchanges, and then this Tarot Club ended.
Everyone's figures disappeared from Gray Fog one after another.
Leyton woke up from the armchair in the study and looked at the sky outside the window, feeling like taking a nap before getting up.
"An easy life makes one degenerate!"
With a sigh, Leyton still chose not to spend the beautiful afternoon sleeping.
His messenger flew out of the Spirit World. Without Leyton even opening it, it began to turn pages on its own and quickly presented the content.
Leyton knew without looking that this was a message from Mr. Hughes. Only when it concerned this Angel Boss would his messenger appear so obsequious.
"The Library has sorted out a batch of new books that need to be copied and sent to various parts of the Church. The Library only has you as an idler, so remember to write faster."
Mr. Hughes's message carried by the messenger was brief. After Leyton finished reading it, he directly threw his messenger back into the Spirit World.
"What do you mean 'only me as an idler'! Clearly, I'm the only human!"
He grumbled two sentences.
Leyton still quickly set up the ritual, having the messenger deliver the books that needed to be copied.
Having prepared the blank paper and fountain pens for copying books, Leyton called over Bugs Bunny and Crow Anu, each summoning a Spirit World creature skilled in copying.
Leyton skillfully reached an agreement with the Spirit World creatures, employing them to help him copy books for a period of time.
Klein, holding the Beyonder characteristic that had precipitated from Mersault, walked to the door of the house across the street and knocked twice.
The door was quickly opened by the very familiar Bugs Bunny.
Walking into the living room, Klein saw three very similar Spirit World creatures, each holding a round-bellied fountain pen and copying the books in front of them onto white paper.
In the dining room connected to the living room, Al and a crow were making drinks with a pile of fruits and various wines.
"This scene is unexpectedly harmonious!"
Klein looked at the scene before him and sighed.
"Just find a place to sit. Do you want a drink? I'm trying to mix some alcoholic beverages, would you like to try one?"
Leyton casually greeted him.
"My pleasure."
Klein nodded in response with great interest. Al's technique reminded him of bartenders on Earth.
