The other members of the Tarot Club also turned to look at Leyton after hearing The World's question. Mystical Items with healing abilities were always very popular.
Leyton leaned back slightly against the chair, tapped the armrest of the high-backed chair next to him twice with his right hand, and then said, "Reattaching severed limbs, treating serious illnesses, mending souls—these abilities can basically be retained. However, the latter requires very high technical support. Unless you are a Beyonder skilled in the soul domain, it is not recommended to try."
"Mending souls! That sounds so evil."
"Justice" Audrey was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected a Sequence 8 Doctor to have the Beyonder ability to mend souls.
The Hermit, Cattleya, turned her head to glance at Audrey and Fors, who looked somewhat pensive, and spoke in a calm voice:
"Evil or not is not determined by Beyonder abilities. The key is the person using the ability, not the ability itself. Of course, Pathways like the Devil, which directly affect the Beyonder themselves, are an exception."
"From the perspective of Beyonder abilities alone, many Pathways can be called evil, such as the Seer and Marauder Pathways, the Sleepless Pathway mastered by the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and even the Savant Pathway mastered by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. The advancement ritual for a certain Sequence in these Pathways requires extracting all life force from a specific area, which can turn soil into desert and dry up lakes. Such actions can certainly be called evil."
"That's right. Just like our Sanguine, although the Moon Pathway also includes some Darkness and strange authority, under the influence of our Ancestor, we are still a noble and elegant race."
Moon Emlyn tilted his chin slightly and continued Cattleya's words with a pleased tone.
No, those Vampires outside the city of Silver are disgusting... Sun Derrick silently retorted in his heart. He didn't want to argue with the other party again in Mr. Fool's divine kingdom, so he quietly lowered his head and ignored the other party's words.
Artificial Vampires also belong to the Moon Pathway. They are neither noble nor elegant. However, this also indirectly proves Lilith's influence on the Sanguine and on this Pathway... Klein pondered for a moment, then manipulated his alternate account, The World, to exclaim:
"Perhaps... the essence of the Beyonder world is madness."
Leyton leaned back lazily in the high-backed chair, sighing after The World's words:
"Whether something is evil or not has a lot to do with the top existence of a Sequence Pathway. Just like Evernight Goddess and Primordial Demoness, the former single-handedly raised the overall quality of the entire Sleepless Pathway, while the latter single-handedly ruined the entire Pathway. Demonesses, under her influence, are more or less psychologically distorted."
The Goddess is indeed a benevolent and kind deity. Praise the Goddess... Um... Audrey looked up at Mr. Fool at the head of the mottled long table, feeling a little ashamed. Seeing that he had no reaction, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
My thought of praising the Goddess here was a bit disrespectful to Mr. Fool. I need to be more careful in the Future.
Audrey lowered her head slightly, admonishing herself in her heart, her gaze irresistibly curious as she looked towards the figure at the head of the table. I wonder which Pathway Mr. Fool controls. Well, judging from Mr. Fool's style, it should be one of the more mysterious and miraculous Sequence Pathways, like the Seer or Mystery Pryer Pathways?
Leyton's gaze swept around the crowd, he chuckled twice, then brought the topic back to the transaction he had just proposed:
"So, does anyone here need a Mystical Item with healing abilities?"
"How much?" Klein, controlling his alternate account, The World, asked in a hoarse voice.
Leyton pondered for two seconds before saying:
"Hmm... 800 pounds. You can choose what item to craft it into, but for easier use of some Beyonder abilities, a medical instrument shape would be better."
"Okay, make it into needle and thread for stitching wounds."
Klein thought for a moment, then controlled The World at the very end to reply. The ability to heal external injuries, combined with my own Beyonder ability to transfer injuries, means that as long as it's not a directly fatal blow, I can recover quickly.
"Justice" Audrey, sitting on the other side of the mottled long table, raised her right hand slightly and pondered, then said:
"I also want to custom-order one of these Mystical Items. For the appearance, can it be made into a bandage?"
"Yes." Leyton nodded slightly in response.
After a brief silence, seeing that no one continued the previous transaction, Hanged Man Alger cleared his throat and spoke in a lowered voice:
"I need the Ocean Songster potion formula. Does anyone have it, or know where to find it?"
Leyton looked at Hanged Man Alger without surprise. This was the third time the other party had sought the Ocean Songster potion formula at the Tarot Club.
After a moment of thought, he leaned forward, resting his hands on the table, and turned to Alger, saying:
"You haven't found it yet? 7,000 pounds. If you accept this price, I can help you get the Ocean Songster potion formula."
"7,000 pounds? Are you in dire need of money?" Hanged Man Alger looked at Leyton with some hesitation.
Sequence 5 potion formulas are usually around 5,000 pounds, but because they are hard to come by, price gouging often occurs, but 7,000 pounds is a bit too expensive.
Coupled with the Tower's recent large-scale sale of low-Sequence Beyonder characteristics and Mystical Items, and making Moon work to pay off debt, he's either very short on money or very short on manpower recently... If he were at sea, I could help him by accepting a commission to offset some of the pounds...
Hanged Man Alger lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. He turned his head to Leyton and said with a solemn expression:
"I can't raise that much cash in a short time, but I know the coordinates of an unexplored island There are many Beyonder creatures there that have long disappeared from the outside world. The value of these coordinates is definitely no less than a Sequence 5 potion formula."
"I can swear to Mr. Fool to guarantee the authenticity of that island's coordinates. Currently, I am the only one who knows the coordinates of that island."
An island with many Beyonder creatures? It should be the island Adam conjured. What if I really set foot on that island and Adam pulls me into the Church of the Bones for a chat?
That's in front of the best Psychiatrist in this world. I can't keep any secrets from him, not to mention I have the aura of True Creator and God of Knowledge and Wisdom on me. It would be hard for him not to notice me.
Leyton lowered his eyes slightly, thoughts floating in his mind. He felt that if he really went to that island, Adam would most likely come for him.
After a moment of silence, Leyton shook his head slightly at Alger: "I don't need the coordinates of that island."
Don't need it? Why? Alger frowned slightly, looking at Leyton with confusion, then he pursed his lips and said:
"I can guarantee that there are far more than just one Beyonder creature at the Sequence 5 level on that island, and there might even be Beyonder creatures with divinity."
"I once accidentally visited that island due to an incident and conducted a simple exploration in the marginal areas of the island."
Leyton raised his hand slightly, interrupting Hanged Man's words:
"I don't plan to explore that island, so I don't need its coordinates."
"However, since you are short on pounds, you can completely go there and hunt some Beyonder creatures. You can exchange the materials from them with me for the Ocean Songster potion formula."
"Our Tarot Club now has some members. You can totally invite some people to explore that island with you. As for the confidentiality of the island's information, you can sign some agreements under Mr. Fool's witness."
Hanged Man Alger was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "...I will consider your suggestion."
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Leyton, his azure eyes holding restrained emotions, making it impossible to discern his True thoughts at the moment.
Not planning to explore that island? Is there something wrong there? Impossible. No one should know about that island except me and Qilangos, and I only gave some information. Even if he accidentally went to that island, he couldn't be sure. On the mysterious and vast sea, there is definitely more than one such island.
Is it a premonition from spiritual intuition? The Sequence 4 of the Reader Pathway seems to be called Prophet. Did my words just now make him foresee something, or cause some kind of reaction, which is why he refused my condition?
Alger's thoughts flashed one after another. After pondering for a while, he leaned back in a relaxed posture, resting slightly against the back of the chair, appearing as if he didn't care about the failed transaction.
As Hanged Man Alger fell silent, the members of the Tarot Club became quiet again. Klein sat leisurely in the high-backed chair, waiting for a moment. After confirming that no one else was initiating a transaction, he split his attention to control his alternate account, The World, and spoke:
"Madam Hermit, I would like to speak with you privately."
The Hermit, Cattleya, turned her head to look at The World at the very end of the mottled long table with a puzzled expression. She narrowed her eyes slightly. She instinctively wanted to reach out and adjust her glasses, but her right hand met empty air at her nose bridge.
She withdrew her right hand, feeling a bit unnatural, and then nodded slightly in response:
"You may."
As she spoke, she kept observing The World, who rarely expressed opinions or emotions. His emotions were very restrained, and his clothing was also somewhat disguised. Besides being able to tell that he was an experienced Beyonder, she couldn't directly observe any effective information.
While Cattleya was observing The World, Klein also controlled The World to make a request for a private conversation with himself:
"Respected Mr. Fool, may I have a private conversation with Madam Hermit?"
After controlling The World to speak, Klein switched back to his main account and chuckled:
"You may."
As he spoke, he tapped the edge of the table in front of him with his index finger, then spoke again:
"You may converse now."
After doing all this, he switched back to his alternate account, The World, his gaze calm and his voice hoarse as he said:
"Admiral of Stars?"
"I need to go to the Ruins of Gods deep in the Sonia Sea for some matters. May I board your Future? If so, what kind of remuneration would be required?"
The Hermit, Cattleya, was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected the other party to call out her identity right away. Although The World used a questioning tone, his voice was very certain.
After a brief silence, Cattleya nodded slightly:
"You may, but you need to go to Nass, the White Tower, in the Galgass Islands and wait for a few days. The Future is currently in the northern Sonia Sea and needs some time to dock."
"As for remuneration, you can directly pay in pounds, or you can offer some equivalent mystical knowledge or items."
Equivalent knowledge? Isn't that just letting me freeload? Although I'm not rich in pounds, I possess a lot of high-end mystical knowledge that ordinary Beyonders can't easily access. However, I have a more suitable bargaining chip for Admiral of Stars.
As thoughts floated through his mind, Klein manipulated his alternate account, The World, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice:
"I know a Snake of Fate. I will contact him at an appropriate time to inquire about the blood of a mythical creature."
"Snake of Fate? Alright, I hope this 'appropriate time' you speak of won't be too long."
Cattleya's eyes flickered slightly. The terms of the transaction offered by the other party gave her no reason to refuse.
The gloomy and reserved The World let out two dry chuckles and said:
"I will give you an answer before leaving the Future."
