"Justice" always manages to keep a cheerful mood, which is truly admirable. I wish I could be like her too... Hearing that cheerful greeting, Klein, who was seated at the head of the bronze long table, couldn't help but murmur silently.
But then he suddenly thought about the simple fact that the other person had taken out 1,000 pounds in cash. Suddenly, he felt that it was extremely difficult for him to imagine being like "Justice" and always maintaining a cheerful mood...
"Darius Therryk Berg" was a young man who cared a lot about his reputation. He immediately replied:
"I have obtained the formula for 'Mind Reader'."
During this period of time, he had sorted out the inheritance left by his parents. Apart from the house, furniture, and a few items used for remembrance, all the valuable things had been taken to the "black market" in Silver City and exchanged for the "Mind Reader" formula and the ingredients for "Praise Maker". Currently, he was living on a fixed amount of food.
But he believed that this situation wouldn't last long. Once he passed the combat assessment, he would join the team to clear out the "dark things" around, and receive a considerable reward.
When he truly became powerful, he would apply to become a member of the elite team, explore the depths of the darkness, and find a way to lift the curse... Darius thought hopefully, and turned his head to look at the "fool" in the thick gray fog.
Last time, he noticed that after "Justice" asked the "fool" for permission, she could strangely make the unknown Rosser diary appear directly!
Although Darius didn't understand what was going on, he thought it would be better to take a look at the "fool" himself.
"First, recall the formula in your mind, and then pick up the pen at hand and give it a strong desire to express yourself." Klein seemingly leisurely leaned back against the chair back.
Because "Sun" came from Silver City, which was suspected to be the "land forsaken by the gods", the thing he manifested in front of the other person wasn't a pen, but a quill.
Of course, there was no ink.
Darius didn't doubt the words of the fool and immediately grasped the quill that suddenly appeared.
In a few seconds, as instructed, he unsurprisingly saw that the yellowish-brown parchment in front of him had the "Mind Reader" potion formula.
After examining it twice, Darius remained silent and pushed the promised thing to "Justice" as a sign.
Audrey, excited, eager, and expectant but very reserved, took it. Her gaze swept over, and all the words translated by Klein were immediately imprinted in her mind:
"Main material: The complete brain pituitary gland of the Phantom Lizard, 10 milliliters of spinal fluid of the Half-Ghost Rabbit."
"Auxiliary materials..."
Unheard-of main materials... Hmm, I don't know enough... Audrey, who has been constantly catching up on the common extraordinary materials and their names from Fors and Hugh recently, thought somewhat regretfully.
At this time, she had forgotten what "audience" meant.
Suddenly, Audrey heard a slight tapping sound and instinctively looked towards the top of the bronze long table.
She was pleasantly surprised to see that the "fool" was using his right index finger to tap the edge of the table and nod to himself, making a gesture.
What's going on? Audrey was puzzled, her eyes blank.
Just as she was about to ask, her peripheral vision suddenly noticed that the "Mind Reader" formula in front of "Justice" had changed, with many annotations added:
"Main material: The complete brain pituitary gland of the Phantom Lizard (also known as the Rainbow Lizard), 10 milliliters of spinal fluid of the Half-Ghost Rabbit (also known as the Farsman Rabbit)."
"Auxiliary materials..."
I recognize these! Audrey was first stunned, then a strong sense of joy emerged from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you, Fool Mr. Darius. You are truly very learned." She looked up again and sincerely thanked and praised.
"Hangman" Alger didn't know exactly what had happened, but he was very disdainful of "Justice's" words:
How can such a great figure be described as learned?
In a certain sense, such a being is equivalent to knowledge itself! Klein readily accepted "Miss Justice's" praise, because it wasn't something that could be achieved merely by accidentally obtaining the "mind-reader" formula from the Psychological Alchemy Society.
—After pulling "The Sun" into the Tarot Society, based on the special circumstances of the Silver City where the other person was located, he had been constantly preventing similar problems and constantly seeking relevant materials to study. Even if Dast Goodrian didn't get the formula in time, he could have easily completed the annotations just now, and after the previous divination and the comparison just now, he was certain that both "mind-reader" formulas were correct.
This is being prepared, no disasters... Klein thought with a slightly smug expression.
Audrey repeatedly read through the "mind-reader" formula several times, reluctantly looking away, and skillfully "expressed" the diary of Emperor Rosel.
"This is what you deserve," she put down the pen and looked at the Fool in the gray fog, "Besides, how about I give your followers 300, 300 pounds?"
She sounded a little uneasy because three pages of Rosel's diary only cost her 20 pounds, while the "Sheriff" formula located in sequence 8, which is also on the list, requires 450 pounds.
That is to say, based on simple mathematics, she should have paid an additional 430 pounds for the three pages of notes.
However, Audrey felt that this was also due to her own luck. The seller didn't know the value of Rosel's diary, which was why she could buy it at a relatively low price.
The diary of Emperor Rosel, each page at least, at least 50 pounds! Audrey silently clenched her fist and silently cheered for herself.
300 pounds? Up to now, I have only seen this much money at Sir Deville's... Klein sighed, pretending to have no interest in money and nodding calmly:
"A reasonable transaction."
"This is the information of my followers."
He tried to avoid saying names like "Bank of Beckland" or "anonymous account" from the "Fool" in his mouth, directly presenting them on the parchment in front of him.
—Last Wednesday, when checking the houses with red chimneys, Klein took the time to visit the Tingen branch of Bank of Beckland and opened an anonymous account in disguise.
This account only requires remembering the account number and providing the corresponding ciphertext to withdraw the balance from all branches of Bank of Beckland.
If the account holder felt that this method was not secure enough, they could add signatures and fingerprints for comparison, which would be more troublesome.
Klein did not set this up for confidentiality or to hide his identity at that time. He only left a set of ciphertext.
This set of ciphertext was written in ancient Hermes language: "A Fool not belonging to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the yellow and black king in charge of good fortune."
Because ancient Hermes language can be used freely for sacrifices and prayers, no matter who dares to copy this set of ciphertext, it is equivalent to reciting my name, and then I can immediately receive the corresponding prompt, to distinguish whether it is a normal situation or someone wants to steal my wealth! Klein was very satisfied with his own solution.
The only drawback is that it will slightly leak the existence of the "Fool", but it is within an acceptable range.
Audrey pushed the Rosel diary to Mr. Fool, and took the parchment with the information of the other person's followers, which was marked with Bank of Beckland and the corresponding, a string of numbers for the anonymous account.
She didn't know if the follower of Mr. Fool was male or female, what sequence they were in... Well, they must be very powerful, at least not worse than "Admiral of the Storm" Zilinger... Audrey couldn't help but let her thoughts flow freely.
But she quickly controlled her attention and began to remember the anonymous account.
"Not so complicated," at this moment, she heard the deep and calm voice of "Fool", "After you go home, recite my name silently and the corresponding information will be written out directly."
It's like I drew the red chimney scene obtained from the divination... The account is very important and must not be mistaken... Klein silently added two more sentences in his mind.
Is this okay? Judging from "Mr. Fool's" words, he was very confident... After all, such a person is a figure almost like a deity, and he can manage such things... Audrey paused for a moment, then relaxed and felt that this was logical and reasonable.
But why did I have to work so hard to remember the formula just now... Audrey suddenly became a little confused.
At this time, Klein held the page of Rosser's diary and did not rush to read it. He turned his head to look at "The Sun" and calmly asked:
"What kind of compensation do you hope to receive?"
Derrick thought seriously and said:
"I don't have anything urgent that I want to obtain recently... I should be able to digest the 'Praise' potion soon, and the compensation is accumulated there, um, to prepare for the corresponding sequence 8 formula, or the necessary materials."
Sequence 8 is "Prayerist", I have... materials, even if I can obtain them, I don't know how to give them to you... digest... Silver City indeed masters the "Role-playing Method"... Hmm... The highest combat power there is sequence 4, is it limited by materials? Klein thoughtfully nodded and signaled the deal.
Audrey also keenly noticed the word "digest", and pondered before asking:
"Mr. 'The Sun', do you have mastered the 'Role-playing Method'?"
Derrick looked at "Justice" lady in confusion, and calmly replied:
"It's not something strange... The general knowledge course in Silver City is teaching the 'Role-playing Method'."
The general knowledge course is teaching the "Role-playing Method"... Audrey looked at the "Hangman" and found that the other party was also looking at her. Both of them suddenly fell into silence.
"The origin of 'The Sun' is indeed very mysterious. I wonder where 'Mr. Fool' pulled him into the 'Tarot Society' from... The more I think about it, the more I feel awe... Audrey paused and looked at the Fool, who was standing in the thick gray fog, without any expression of surprise on his face.
At this time, "Hangman" Alger tentatively asked: "Mr. 'The Sun', have you explained the precautions of 'Role-playing Method'?"
"Yes," Derrick nodded without hesitation, "Our general knowledge course explained it very clearly, there is only one precaution for 'Role-playing Method', 'Remember, you are just playing'."
Just as I expected... We are using a clever way to bypass the barrier and completely dismantle the residual spiritual influence of the potion, rather than submitting to it... "The Sun", you are really a simple teenager, and this way you were tricked into revealing important information... Klein smiled slightly and turned his gaze to the Rosser diary in front of him.
