"Justice" Audrey finished her greetings and turned back to the top of the mottled long table.
"Mr. Fool, I only collected one page of Roselle's diary this time."
Roselle's diary. Mr. Fool is indeed collecting these diaries. Can he understand this strange writing?
The Hermit Cattleya pondered for a moment. After "Justice" Audrey returned to her seat, she imitated Audrey's actions, stood up, and bowed to the figure at the top of the mottled long table before speaking:
"Mr. Fool, I have collected some of Emperor Roselle's diaries. I wonder how you would like them presented?"
Hmm? Does Ms. Hermit also have Roselle's diary? Isn't this her first time attending the Tarot Club? Klein's questioning gaze lingered on Cattleya for a moment, then quickly withdrew.
She referred to Emperor Roselle with a very respectful tone, as if Roselle was more like an admirable elder in her heart? And she even collected his diaries. It seems the rumors aren't true after all; she didn't really break with Queen Mystic, and the two sides even maintain some contact. The diaries in her hand should have come from Queen Mystic.
One by one, they don't take my words, The Fool, to heart. In a blink of an eye, they've revealed information to that Queen Mystic. Klein's gaze shifted between Leyton and Cattleya, and he had already figured out what was going on.
Hanged Man Alger slightly changed his sitting posture, and thoughts emerged in his mind. Could it be her? Rumor has it that Admiral of Stars had long since broken with Queen Mystic, but that's just a rumor and may not be true.
She wasn't too surprised by Roselle's notes, which were actually diaries, and she even collected these diaries despite being unable to decipher them. Unless these diaries had additional meaning for her, such as being given to Queen Mystic.
"Justice" Audrey's gaze inadvertently swept over Cattleya. Ms. Hermit has Emperor Roselle's diary on her first attendance at the Tarot Club? Did she already know that Mr. Fool was collecting these, or did she herself have a deep connection with Emperor Roselle, or was she curious and usually collected such items?
After a brief thought, before The Fool Klein answered, she slightly raised her hand to explain:
"You only need to remember every character of the diary, and Mr. Fool will help us materialize it."
"Mr. Fool adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange. We can obtain some knowledge or help from him with Roselle's diary. Of course, it needs to be equivalent. You can also accumulate these contributions to exchange for greater help."
Materialize? Cattleya was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently, indicating that she understood. This was completely different from the presentation method she had envisioned, more mysterious and harder to fathom.
As for equivalent exchange, isn't it all decided by Mr. Fool whether it's truly equivalent?
After a slight hesitation, she spoke calmly:
"I understand, but I only remember the content of one page of the diary. For the rest, I'll have to wait until after the gathering."
At the top of the mottled long table, Klein, whose figure was shrouded in a thick gray mist, leaned back slightly, speaking leisurely as if he didn't care at all:
"Understood."
Soon, Klein finished reading the Roselle's diary presented by the Tarot Club members. He leaned back casually, and the Roselle's diary he had materialized automatically disappeared. He scanned everyone with a smile and said:
"You may begin."
After receiving Mr. Fool's approval, Moon Emlyn changed his sitting posture. Even with a lowered voice, his excited expression was hard to conceal as he said:
"Mr. Hanged Man, I am ready. When can you get the Vampire Baron's legacy? You mentioned last time that it's in the hands of a Pirate Admiral."
Pirate Admiral... Is he an informant of the Church of the Lord of Storms among the pirates? The Hermit Cattleya slightly turned her head and glanced at Hanged Man Alger's position.
Hanged Man Alger maintained his expression, looked at Moon Emlyn to his side, and said calmly:
"I will get it for you within this week. Finally, let's confirm the price again: 4000 pounds, no problem? Also, my commission is 300 pounds."
If White Tower hadn't reminded this Vampire last time, I would have directly quoted 4500 pounds. Hanged Man felt a bit depressed when he thought about losing 500 pounds because of Leyton's reminder last time.
Moon Emlyn's face stiffened, then he gritted his teeth and said:
"Understood."
The Church of the Earth Mother is truly persistent in converting Vampires. The Hermit Cattleya's gaze lingered on Moon Emlyn for a moment, sighing silently in her heart.
Leyton, sitting to the right of Moon Emlyn, with an empty seat in between, rubbed his chin. Having no demands at the Tarot Club, his thoughts naturally wandered:
To deal with Primordial Moon Believers, I can seek help from the Vampire through Emlyn. They would certainly be very willing to help with something that can recover Vampire characteristics. It's truly not easy to develop the Southern Continent, which is riddled with cults!
After a brief silence, The Sun Derrick, next to Leyton, slightly raised his right hand and said:
"Does anyone have the fruit of the Radiant Spirit Tree?"
He had already exchanged for the Solar High Priest's potion formula with Leyton last week, but he hadn't been able to gather all the potion ingredients.
Leyton's gaze subconsciously glanced at Klein at the top of the mottled long table. Creeping Hunger pastures souls of the Sun pathway... It seems to be a Priest of Light? ... Unfortunately, Little Sun is only Sequence 8.
After a brief period of no one answering, The Hermit Cattleya decided to intervene in a transaction. She slightly changed her posture, then spoke:
"I have it. What can you exchange for it?"
Leyton clearly felt the Little Sun to his right getting excited. He said sincerely:
"I can provide a list of common monsters in the area around the City of Silver. You can choose the materials you need from it."
The City of Silver? What kind of place is that? Cattleya was slightly puzzled, then quickly adjusted her emotions and spoke calmly:
"I need to see what common monsters are around the City of Silver before making a decision."
"Understood."
Little Sun Derrick, under the gaze of the Tarot Club members, agreed to Cattleya's request without hesitation.
Mr. Sun is truly as simple as ever. "Justice" Audrey sighed silently in her heart.
What a foolish fellow. Moon Emlyn disdained the naive personality Little Sun displayed.
He originally wanted to remind the other party, but when he thought about their previous argument, he felt a bit annoyed. This foolish fellow deserved to be used by these cunning humans.
Soon, the trading session of the Tarot Club came to an end.
Magician Fors and Hanged Man Alger originally intended to make purchases, but one had no money, and the other was wary of Cattleya. In today's transactions, they basically just observed.
Seeing that today's trading session was about to end, Klein manipulated his alt, The World. After looking around, he said in a hoarse voice:
"I need the eyeballs of a Six-Winged Gargoyle."
The Hermit Cattleya looked at The World, who was exceptionally gloomy and reserved due to Klein's unfamiliar operation. She said at a moderate pace:
"300 pounds, or gold coins of equal value."
She noticed that the previous transactions used Loen pounds, so she deliberately changed her words.
As expected of a Pirate Admiral who commands a pirate group and is supported by a large force. Klein sighed in his heart, then manipulated The World to reply in a low voice:
"Understood."
After a brief silence, Klein, seeing that no one else had any trading requests, chuckled and said:
"You may now converse freely."
