Part 1 The Joker Chapter 144 A Three-Way Deal
There are actually three pages, but those words are too complicated and too hard to memorize, and my current limit is a little more than two pages …… Any more would be confusing …… The rest will have to wait for next time …… Audrey silently added a few words in her mind.
A new Roselle diary? Klein’s spirits lifted and he asked with a smile knowing the answer:
”Ms. ‘Justice’, what do you need to get?”
Audrey’s eyes glowed for a moment, but she answered with feigned reserve:
”As you know, I’m about to finish digesting the ‘Audience’ magic potion, and I wish to obtain the formula for the ‘Mind Reader’ magic potion earlier so that I can prepare the ingredients ahead of time… Well, I know that these two pages of the diary don’t contain much, and they might not be able to match the value of the ‘Mind Reader’ formula, I will also give another page, well, there will be an additional payment to you ……”
Before her words left her mouth, she suddenly felt that something wasn’t right, and couldn’t help but curse herself fiercely in her heart:
Mr. Fool is at least a great person close to the gods, how could he possibly look at vulgar money!
Thus, Audrey failed to maintain her “audience” state, and added in a stuttering manner:
”I didn’t mean that! Mr. Fool, I mean, you can specify the compensation you want, yes, that’s it!”
I like what you’ve just offered …… I’ll reply like this: once you’ve really digested the “Audience” magic potion, you’ll be able to get the subsequent formula, and I have a henchman, no, I’ll have to use a more pushy ‘Favored One’, who is busy with something! I have a henchman, no, I’d have to use the more pompous ‘dependant’, who is busy with something, and just needs some money, here’s his bearer account at the Bank of Birkeland …… Well, I’ll be going to the Bank of Birkeland’s Tingen branch this week in disguise to set up a bearer account… …Klein didn’t answer right away, seemingly high-minded but actually pushing his words carefully.
The Bank of Beckland was one of the seven major banks in the Kingdom of Ruen, holding the right to clear the money.
–The Kingdom of Rune used a centralized method of note clearing to handle inter-bank transfers between banks in the same city, but unlike their counterparts in the Republic of Intis, not all of the banks here were able to join in on this, and those seven largest banks held onto that right so firmly that they were also known as the clearing banks, leaving the other banks to only dependent on them.
And the opening of accounts in different places could only be done at the same bank, by clearing them at different branches, which was made much more efficient with steam trains and wire telegraphy.
Just then Derek “Sun” Berg suddenly spoke up:
”‘Mind Reader’ magic potion formula? Followed by ‘Mind Reader’ for ‘Psychoanalyst’?”
Audrey looked at him suspiciously, “You know?”
At the same time, Ms. “Justice” used the audience’s instincts to taste the problem:
Her opponent was using the ancient term “psychoanalyst”, which corresponds to Sequence 7, instead of the more modern “psychiatrist”!
It’s strange, this guy …… Audrey once again scrutinized the Sun’s every move.
Derek didn’t think he was showing an unusual side, and replied seriously, “I can help you get the formula!”
After saying that, he felt weak because he couldn’t get it out for the time being and forced himself to explain:
”This is a sequence that originated from the Giant Dragon clan, and our Silver City was once under the rule of the Giant’s Royal Court, and as you know, giants and dragons are mortal enemies, so the 9, 8, and 7 of this sequence are all available in Silver City, and I have a way to get them.”
This kid …… thanks to me before I have been urging him not to talk nonsense and not to reveal his origin, as a result …… Klein almost wanted to reach out and cover his face.
Hey, although the “sun” teenager has a very silent and bitter and mature look, he really is still just a teenager! However, but let me figure out one thing …… original “audience” sequence originally originated from the dragon clan, no wonder “justice” Ms. high-backed chair behind the symbol of the star combination out of the symbol is “dragon”. Symbol is “dragon”…… Silver City’s history is well preserved well …… Klein maintains the posture of the back of the chair back, thoughtfully listening to the” Sun” statement.
In fact, he could have easily prevented the Sun from revealing these things – as long as he didn’t help with the “simultaneous translation”, “justice” and “inverted”, “the sun”, “the sun”, “the sun” and “the sun”. “As long as he didn’t help with the “simultaneous translation”, “Justice” and “Inverted Man” would be listening in vain, because they wouldn’t understand at all.
However, on second thought, Klein felt that this could effectively consolidate his powerful and mysterious image in the hearts of the three members, so he listened with a smile on his face, did not make a sound, and did not make any unnecessary attempts.
Giant court, dragon clan, silver city …… Audrey listened to a confused, first looked at the opposite side of the “inverted man” a glance, from the body movement to determine that the gentleman is equally shocked and puzzled.
She was busy looking sideways to the top of the bronze table, only to see the “Fool” sitting on the high-backed chair, covered with a thick gray mist, right elbow on the armrest position, so that the palm of the head leisurely against the side of the head, not surprised, not strange, no thought, no doubt, only eyes with a slight smile at all of this.
He knew …… he knew it all …… Audrey and Alger made a positive judgment in their minds almost simultaneously.
”Silver City, I have never heard of this place …… Where is it?” Audrey tentatively asked, “upside down man” Alger is focused on listening.
At this moment, “Sun” Derek Berg is also full of questions, he can see that, in addition to the “Fool” this may be the existence of the gods, “Justice” and “Hanged Man”. “The Inverted Man were clearly closer to the extraordinary, the extraordinary of a certain order.
And in the godforsaken place, Derek had never seen any other living person except the people of the Silver City.
So he asked rhetorically:
”You are not the people of the City of Silver, which city-state are you from?”
Hey …… Klein couldn’t help but sigh again.
Audrey’s lips opened and closed, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.
Well, his latent meaning is, if you don’t want to answer similar questions, don’t casually inquire about the city where other people are located …… Miss “Justice” nodded gently and elegantly closed her mouth.
Obviously, the “upside down man” Alger also misunderstood the purpose of the “sun”, do not know the other side is really, simply ask questions, so also remained silent, did not say a word.
Derek, who had not received an answer, also seemed to understand something, and, no longer mentioning the matter, turned and said:
”I’ll get the formula for the ‘Mind Reader’ magic potion as soon as possible, and I’d like to exchange it for the initial sequence of the ‘Sun’ pathway.”
”The ‘Sun’ pathway? Sequence 9 ‘Glorifier’?” “The Inverted Hanged Man,” Alger immediately asked rhetorically.
”Sun,” Derek said after a moment’s thought:
”That should be the one, but I lack knowledge of it.”
Crane, who was watching everything, decided to step in, as he didn’t want to risk having his business taken away from him again.
He smirked:
”I don’t think Ms. ‘Justice’ has a recipe for ‘Glorifier’.”
But the odds are that Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’ can get it ……
Seeing Audrey nod, he smiled softly and spoke again:
”I’ll give ‘Sun’ a copy of the recipe for ‘Glorifier’, and ‘Sun’ will give the recipe for ‘Mind Reader’ as soon as possible. ‘ magic potion formula to Miss ‘Justice’ as soon as possible, aiming to be within two gatherings, and Miss ‘Justice’ gives me the newly obtained Roselle’s Diary, thus completing the deal.”
”Well, in terms of the principle of equal exchange, ‘Sun’ has suffered a loss, but he’s still just promising that when he actually produces the ‘Mind Reader’ formula, ‘Justice ‘ Miss ‘Justice’ will then consider how to compensate him, or, I will compensate him, and Miss ‘Justice’ will provide money to me for a dependant, he needs to do something recently, huh, this is because ‘Sun’ may not be able to receive the Miss ‘Justice’ for cash or material compensation.”
Klein intentionally added that sentence at the end, in order to make “Inverted Man” and “Justice” focus on the matter that “Sun” might not be able to receive compensation, in order to highlight his own In order to emphasize their own profoundness, so as to make everyone ignore the family member who lacks money.
May not receive compensation …… Where exactly is the “sun”? The south of the continent? Algernon frowned slightly.
The origin of the “sun” is also very mysterious ah …… Sure enough, Mr. Fool also has a henchman in reality …… Audrey finally saw the becoming Sequence 8 “Mind Reader” dawn, how can there be any other thoughts, she pressed down the excitement, light smile:
”I have no opinion.”
”Me neither.” Seeing that he could get the starting sequence of the “Sun” pathway on the spot, Derek also nodded without hesitation, not caring about the subsequent compensation.
Alger the Hanged Man, who was excluded from the three-way deal, had no say in the matter, and although he did manage to get the formula for the Glorious One, he would have to wait for a week or two.
At this point, “Fool” Klein, who had managed to delay the compensation until the next party or the one after that, pressed his hand forward in a good mood, and materialized the recipe for “Chanticleer”:
”Primary ingredient, one crystallized sunflower or the tail feather of an adult flint bird or arsonist …… one siren’s stone or one singing anemone …… Secondary ingredients, one midsummer grass, five drops of July wine, one elfin dark leaf …… Dark Leaf one piece ……”
He “transmitted” this recipe to the “sun”, and saw the other party first frowned, then relaxed.
Well, the names of the materials in the Godforsaken Land must still retain their ancient characteristics …… Fortunately, I got this recipe directly from the “Eternal Sun”, with the ancient names labeled and various alternatives… …Klein shifted his gaze to Ms. Justice in a daze.
Audrey looked at the “Sun”, who was meditating on the recipe, and gave the two pages of the diary, which she had forced herself to memorize, an expression of her thoughts.
The diary immediately appeared on the tawny parchment and flashed into Klein’s hands.
He began reading it immediately, as he had done before:
”November 3, Matilda is in her third month of pregnancy, I now look at the maids from the countryside and think they look good, no, I can’t lower my class and style, it just so happens that the Countess of Foulaise has invited me to a private party, heh heh heh.”
”November 8th, Archbishop Van Esten had something to ask for my help, gee, what can I do for an archbishop?”
”November 9, it turns out that there is such a secret hidden in the Sequence Pathway, Archbishop Esteen told me that after becoming a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, the next part of the pathway can be substituted for each other with the Sequence corresponding to the other one or two pathways! That is to say, from the middle sequence to the high sequence this step begins! But that’s limited to that one or two, and once you replace it with a magic potion from the wrong pathway, half-madness is the least likely end, and it’s impossible to get any subsequent promotions.”
”Such pathways that can be replaced with each other starting at Sequence 4 are, the ‘Sleepless One’ pathway with the ‘Body Collector’ pathway, and, well, the Church’s ‘Generalist’ pathway and the ‘Secret Peeper’ pathway can also replace each other in the higher sequences.”
