Part 1 The Joker Chapter 179 – Praise for Mr. Fool
Hearing the “Fool’s” reply, Alger the Inverted Hanged Man breathed a quiet sigh of relief, bowed his head, and said humbly:
”Allow me to praise you in advance for listening.”
Because I am also very curious …… very curious about a sequence 6 “wind family members” believe that to get it can have the strength of the sequence 4 magical items actually is what …… very curious about a pirate What does a pirate general want to do in Birkeland? …… Klein smiled slightly and kept his stance of deep silence.
Anyway, it s not like I promised to give help if I listened! He emphasized mentally.
However, nowadays he had a lot more backbone than before, because his real-life ally, the mysterious Mr. Aztec, was in Berkland.
If it was really necessary, Klein was willing to use the Copper Whistle to ask for Aztec’s help, but of course, he certainly would not mention the “Tarot Club”, and would only vaguely indicate that it came from a certain source of information.
In this matter, there are still two problems, first, Klein and Aztec are only limited to cooperation, the other party will not necessarily provide help, unless the things Zillinger wants to do, or the magical items involved, can attract the interest of the other party.
Secondly, Klein is not sure how strong Azik is at the moment, even if he adjusts his guess and thinks that the other party is a high ranking powerhouse, he still has to be careful to take into account the reduction brought about by “amnesia”, after all, knowledge is often equal to power, and a lack of knowledge will surely make the power greatly diminished.
In this case, Aztec can deal with the “creeping hunger” Zilingus, Klein is not sure, but also a little worried about the acquaintance will be in danger, until the last resort, really do not want to trouble each other.
Think of Mr. Aztec’s terrifying “messenger”…… summoned by the Copper Whistle, no, that guy is not like a messenger, playing the role of a boss is enough! Well, Mr. Aztec, even if he can’t win against the “writhing hunger” Zylingus, he should be able to easily defend himself and have the strength to save the “upside down man” and save the “justice” lady. The extraordinary partner …… Klein thoughtfully adjusted the sitting position, the back of the chair back of the state remains unchanged, the right leg leisurely rested on top of the left leg.
”The Inverted Man” Alger glanced at the Fool and spoke again:
”I am about to obtain a batch of Rossel the Great’s journals, and I believe I will be able to present them to you at the next, or perhaps the next, gathering.”
According to the division of the Storm Lord’s Church, the Port of Pritz belonged to the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Birkeland, so Alger was able to enter the kingdom’s capital on the pretext of reporting on his last voyage, waiting for “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Zillinger to reveal his hideout.
Historically, Birkeland used to be the headquarters of the Storm Lord’s Church until the end of the last era, when the Kingdom of Ruen was established, and then they moved their altar to Pasu Island. Therefore, in every aspect, the Storm Lord’s Birkeland diocese was second only to the headquarters of the Seven Churches, and the richness of all kinds of information could be imagined.
In this case, Rossel’s diary, which was itself undecipherable and semi-publicly available for the study of the extraordinary people of this church, must have been fairly easy to collect, and for that, Alger was confident.
Klein deliberately allowed his tone to take on a small amount of pleasure and nodded gently:
”Very well.”
His true emotion at this moment was half joyful and half sad, joyful because he would soon be able to see many pages of Rosier’s diary, which might contain quite a lot of useful information, but sad because what should he exchange with the “Inverted Man”, after all, no one could tell if any of the contents of those diaries could interest the “Inverted Man”, or rather, the “Inverted Man” would be interested in the contents. After all, no one can tell whether any content in those diaries can interest the “Hanged Man”, or whether any content has enough value.
Even “soothsayers” can’t know …… in advance, should I really let my “favorites” to help? Klein sighed silently.
Seeing the exchange between the “inverted man” and Mr. “Fool” came to an end, Audrey Hall was busy asking:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, if I get information that is very useful and has a clear timeliness, can I also chant your name and inform you with a ritual?”
时效性……Look at how elegantly Ms. “Justice” uses words, compared to her, “Inverted Hanging Man” you are too vulgar! Klein nodded his head imperceptibly and said through the thick gray fog:
”Yes.”
Awesome! Audrey quietly clenched her fist.
Meanwhile, Klein turned his head to look at Derek “Sun” Berg, who was listening in silence, and said in a soothing tone:
”The same goes for you.”
”Yes, Mr. ‘Fool’.” Derek bowed his head.
Inside the looming palace above the gray mist, the scene was quiet for a few seconds before Audrey took the initiative and spoke up:
”I need the complete pituitary gland of the seven-colored lizard dragon.”
One of the main ingredients of the “Mind Reader” magic potion? “Inverted Man” Alger nodded slightly as if he was thinking.
”I haven’t, and to be honest, it’s a creature I’ve only seen in textbooks.” “The sun,” Derek heard automatically translated as “Phantom Arachnid.”
What kind of textbook introduces transcendental creatures? It’s really enviable ……The similar information I got from the gathering of Extraordinary People was either a direct dictation or some crumpled papers, not systematic and lacking in organization ……After I have a chance to exchange his textbook from “Sun After that, he had the opportunity to exchange his textbooks from “The Sun”! Well, he was interested in the recipe for the “Glorifier” sequence …… Audrey thought with a pang of envy.
Just then, Alger glanced at the “Fool”, withdrew his gaze, looked across the room, and mused:
”I might be able to get the complete pituitary gland of a seven-colored lizard dragon.”
Not waiting for Audrey to rejoice, he added:
”But the prerequisite is to find Zylingus, at that time, together with the Part 1 need to compensate you, it will exactly equal the complete pituitary gland of the Seven-Colored Lizard Dragon, Miss ‘Justice’, you may not know that this kind of sub-dragon is already close to extinction, and at present, only certain pristine islands in the Misty Sea, the Berserk Sea, and the Sunia Sea still Traces of them exist, and the coordinates of those islands are only held by a very small number of people, heh, in the future, if you’re interested, we can make certain exchanges in that regard, since I’m one of those few people.”
I am also interested in those primitive islands …… Klein silently listened to the exchange between the two.
Thinking about the near extinction of a dragon subspecies like the seven-colored lizard dragon, he suddenly recalled the joke he had made with the old Neil – the Dragon and Giant Conservation Society – and his mood dimmed horribly.
Audrey listened with great excitement and forced herself to say:
”I used to dream of sailing the seas, seeking out those pristine islands and seeing the ancient flavors up there.”
Goddess ah, “Tarot Club” is really too powerful, too magical! To have members who have the coordinates of certain primitive islands! Praise be to Mr. Fool! Audrey’s lips pursed into a beautiful curve as she lost her “audience”.
Primitive islands? Klein was stunned for a moment, then remembered a page of Rossel’s diary that he had read earlier, the page of the Emperor’s COS King of Thieves!
He and his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had discovered an unnamed island in a non-safe channel in the Sea of Mists, and there were many extraordinary creatures on it.
Is this the original island? Unfortunately, the emperor did not leave the coordinates in that page of the diary, well, maybe the subsequent diary has, but until now, I have never been given a continuous diary …… Klein thought with regret and anticipation.
As for Derek “The Sun”, he has been dumbfounded by the words “Sea of Mists”, “Sea of Rage”, “Sea of Sunia” and “Pristine Island”.
He felt more and more that he was not in the same world as Miss Justice and Mr. Hangman.
After a few seconds, Audrey asked in confusion:
”The seven-colored lizard dragon is close to extinction, does that indicate that the ‘audience’ pathway will soon be interrupted?”
”No, there must be alternative materials.” “The Inverted Hangman,” Alger replied in a tone of great certainty.
”What alternative material?” Audrey asked back with a twinkle in her eye.
Alger shook his head and replied as if hiding a deeper meaning:
”I don’t know, maybe someone from the Psycho-Alchemy Society knows for sure.”
”Then why are you sure there will be alternative materials?” Audrey was again bewildered and puzzled.
Alger chuckled:
”You’ll know for sure in the future, or pay now in exchange for this information?”
”I’d better wait then.” Audrey puffed out her cheeks, exhaled silently, and dismissed the idea of asking Mr. “Fool”.
Even if she knew, it would be useless for the time being……. The “Inverted Man” would surely ask the “Hurricane Lieutenant General” for something… …not to be deeply involved …… She suddenly wanted to praise her own wisdom.
What she hadn’t anticipated at all was that Mr. Fool was disappointed.
Klein was quite curious about the secret hidden in Alger’s words, but unfortunately, Ms. Justice, who had been in the best position to assist, did not choose to trade.
–Regardless of how the two of them traded, as long as they were still on top of the gray mist, the content could not be hidden from him as the master!
Well, the seven-colored lizard dragon is close to extinction, but the Psycho Alchemy Society still gives the recipe that contains it, and does not provide the name of the alternative material …… This means that the Psycho Alchemy Society has the coordinates of some primitive islands? Or perhaps there is cooperation with the power that holds the coordinates of certain primitive islands? Klein thought with some dawning realization.
After the trading session was over, he looked around the circle, looked at the “sun”, and asked in a soothing tone:
”Does Silver City still believe in the gods?”
Klein was currently only a full member of the Night Watch, and was unable to access more in-depth occult knowledge, which included the “Sacrifice Ceremony”, so in order to verify whether his ideas of “Sacrifice” and “Giving” could make the Gray City a better place to live, he asked. Therefore, in order to verify whether his ideas of “sacrifice” and “bestowal” can make this strange space above the gray fog have more material exchange functions, he has already been sequence 8, he intends to learn similar things from other places as soon as possible.
After repeated thinking, he sorted out three methods: first, to ask the “Necromancer” Daley, who is also good at ceremonial magic and is a deacon, but this will easily arouse the other party’s suspicion, so he can only patiently wait for the opportunity; second, to ask Mr. Aztec, but Klein can not guarantee that the other party has already remembered this part of the knowledge; third, to use a roundabout way to learn from the “Necromancer” from the White Mist, who is also good at ceremonial magic and is a deacon. Thirdly, to use a roundabout way to inquire from the “sun” from Silver City.
As for how to make a detour, Klein already had an idea, and it was also effective in maintaining his image.
Anything he asked would involve a deity!
Derek replied in a reverent tone:
”We still believe in the Lord who created everything, the all-knowing God.”
