Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 182: The Extraordinary Characteristics of a Magistrate.
”The Black Emperor”? The Hanged Man, who was listening to Ms. Justice’s story, suddenly looked up, and his gaze became sharp.
He just realized that the card in Mr. Fool’s hand was one of the “Blasphemy Cards” made by Emperor Rossel, and the name of the card was “Black Emperor”!
Could this have anything to do with Mr. Fool? “Alger the Hanged Man took a quick glance at the top of the bronze table and lowered his head.
If it is really Mr. Fool’s dependents, this matter is certainly not simple …… Alger listened attentively to the subsequent description of Miss Justice.
The magician Forsyth, who knew about this matter from Hugh and had some guesses, also quietly glanced at Mr. Fool, wanting to get a glimpse of the truth of the matter from the reaction of this hidden existence, but the Fool in the dense gray fog was as calm as usual.
Audrey “Justice”, also unproductive, paused and continued:
”The victim was the wealthy Capin, identified by many rumors as the largest human trafficker in Berkland, whose villa was infiltrated by the Black Emperor, who took his life and freed many innocent girls held in the dungeon.
”Capin’s body was found covered with a deck of tarot cards with the faces ‘Judgment’ and ‘Emperor’.”
She didn’t mention the safe because she didn’t think it was relevant.
Covered with tarot cards? That’s our Tarot Society’s operational identification? Wait, “human trafficker?” “Inverted hangers,” Alger said, catching a phrase keenly.
He turned thoughtfully to the uppermost head of the long bronze table and inquired humbly:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, Capin had something to do with the disappearance of the slaves in the colony?”
The latter was a task issued to him by the Church of the Storm, who had pinpointed a suspect named Baron and asked for the help of Justice, the Magician and the World in Berkland. Keep an eye out.
Therefore, when he heard about “human traffickers”, Alger intuitively believed that there was a connection between this and the phenomenon of several tribes in the southern continent evaporating out of thin air, and many slaves escaping from the many islands in the Sunia Sea.
He thought that only this kind of thing that seems to be hiding some secrets can make Mr. “Fool” interested.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that Mr. Fool’s dependents had done it on their own, he could not wait for everything to be arranged, just like a manipulated mannequin …… “Hanging Man” Alger thought. He was not a man who could wait for the arrangement of everything, like a manipulated mannequin “hanging man” Alger thought.
Is Karpin involved in the disappearance of slaves from the colonies in recent times? Think carefully, do not rule out this possibility ah, his villa full of four extraordinary, which in itself is not normal …… his kind of rich even if he invited to get the extraordinary as bodyguards, at most one sequence 7 plus two sequence 8 or sequence 9 configuration, that Herras, counting the magical items, is equivalent to the sequence 5 of the strong man …… Klein was reminded by the words of the “inverted man”, thought of a lot of things at once, felt that things can be vaguely connected.
However, he couldn’t be sure of his own guess, so he could only skip the “inverted man’s” question and let out a light laugh:
”My favorites made some insignificant contributions in this matter.”
Sure enough! “Justice,” Audrey cheered inwardly with crystalized eyes.
Sure enough …… this is the first thing I’ve encountered in reality related to the Tarot Club …… “Magician” Forsyth was half delighted and half exclaimed.
The “upside down man” Alger thinks that the words of Mr. “Fool” indirectly proved his own conjecture:
Karpin’s human trafficker was definitely not simple, otherwise it would not have caused a hidden existence of the family members to take action, and the probability is that there is some kind of connection between the uncomplicated human trafficker and the uncomplicated disappearance of the slaves.
Not waiting for Ms. Justice to speak, “Fool” Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the ancient table and added in a leisurely tone:
”In this incident, he has harvested the legacy traits of two extraordinary people, and hopes to sell them as soon as possible, those two legacy traits one corresponds to the ‘magistrate’ of sequence 8, and the other corresponds to the ‘inquisitor’ of sequence 7. ”
Magistrate, Inquisitor …… Isn’t this the “Arbiter” pathway mastered by the Augustus family? Only royalty, ancient nobles, and the military have access to it …… Is Capin behind one of them? We can’t rule out the Castilian family of the Kingdom of Feneport. …… Alger “The Hanged Man” frowned slightly and felt more and more that the disappearance of the slaves was not so simple.
Audrey “Justice” thought similarly, not realizing that the extraordinary people in Villa Carpine were the “Arbiter”.
The power that holds the corresponding formula is unlikely to collude with Capin as a human trafficker ah …… Audrey pursed her lips slightly, puzzled and confused.
”Magistrate”? “Magician” Fools knew that his friend Hugh was saving up the cost of the magic potion materials for this sequence, and he was busy sitting up straight and asked in disbelief:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, what is the Legacy Trait of the Extraordinary?”
This isn’t the same reaction I expected, shouldn’t I just ask how many gold pounds? That’s right, I don’t think I’ve ever talked to Ms. Magician about the law of conservation and indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics …… Klein froze for a moment, and immediately weighed the tone of his voice.
Just at this time, “Justice” Audrey took the initiative to speak:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, can I answer this question? The corresponding payment will be given to you directly by her.”
She was friends with Forsyth, and since she was worried that Mr. ‘Fool’ would not share that knowledge anymore, she volunteered.
”No problem.” Klein responded with a smile.
”Ms. “Justice” is always in a hurry for me,…… he sighed in his heart.
Phew, “Justice” Audrey breathed a silent sigh of relief and turned to face Forsyth, purposely not using aristocratic pronunciation and proprietary words and said:
”Do you want answers?
”What are you willing to pay as a reward?”
”A magician,” Folth nodded without hesitation:
”Of course!”
She looked over at the figure shrouded in gray mist and respectfully inquired:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, can I use another chapter of ‘Spirit World Insights’ as payment?”
She specifically emphasized “another” because she knew that the chapters of “Spirit World Insights” given to Mr. “World” had to be sacrificed to Mr. “Fool” first, and knowledge that could be readily browsed did not seem to have a trade value. It was not that she doubted Mr. Fool’s ability to give him the chapters of Spiritual Insights.
It wasn’t that she suspected that a deity of Mr. Fool’s caliber would take a peek, it was just that she felt it would be more sincere to change the chapter.
Sometimes, the big man cares only about your attitude …… Forsyth had read similar words in many novels.
Klein, who leaned back in his chair, responded in a tone that didn’t really care:
”Yes.”
”Thank you, Mr. ‘Fool’.” “Magician” Fools had trouble containing her smile.
She had a gut feeling that she was going to be exposed to some hidden, high-level knowledge!
”Justice” Audrey, on the other hand, was thoroughly reassured and said with a light smile:
”In the transcendental world, there is this law, remember, a law.
”Within similar pathways, the total amount of extraordinary characteristics is conserved, it does not decrease, it does not increase, it only transfers from one thing to another, it only transforms from one form to another.
”Therefore, after the death of an extraordinary person, his characteristics will precipitate out, equivalent to the main material of the magic potion, as long as you know the corresponding auxiliary material, you can use it to mix the magic potion of the sequence, well, except for those left behind by the out-of-control person, that has too many hidden dangers, and can only be used as artifacts.”
After the death of an extraordinary person, his characteristics would precipitate out, equivalent to the main material of a magic potion? This instant, it was as if lightning struck within Voorhees’ mind, making her understand many things at once.
It turns out that the relic that Mistress Annalisa gave me was her own extraordinary traits …… It turns out that every extraordinary person is equivalent to walking material in the eyes of others …… It s really dark ah …… Foerth s fists clenched violently, only to realize that the Transcendent World had insanity written all over it from its very nature.
However, she didn’t feel disgusted because she was promoted by taking the extraordinary properties left behind by Mrs. Annalisa, which on the contrary gave her a faint sense of warmth.
After losing her mother and before knowing Hugh, Mrs. Annalisa was the person who treated her the best, and for Voorhees, being able to inherit the other’s legacy, so that she was always with herself, was not a sad but warm experience.
”So that’s it, the law of conservation and indestructibility of extraordinary properties …… means that the properties left behind by the extraordinary person who is a ‘magistrate’ are equivalent to all the main ingredients of that magic potion?” Voorhees asked one more question in a pleading manner.
”Yes.” Audrey thought of Hugh as well.
”Magician,” Folth rose at once and saluted the mysterious being who looked down on everything:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, could you please ask your dependents to hold on to the Remnant trait of the ‘Magistrate’ counterpart for a while longer? I’d like to buy it, but I don’t have enough money for now, give me another week, okay?”
”Fine.” Klein put on an attitude that I don’t care about this at all.
Voorhees sighed in relief and busily asked again:
”How many gold pounds does your Favored One hope to get from this?”
The extraordinary materials corresponding to Sequence 8 are around 300 pounds each …… Klein smiled:
”600 pounds.”
After quoting the number, he immediately changed the topic as a way to show that he did not care about the extraordinary person’s legacy characteristics at the Sequence 8 level.
He looked around the room and materialized a few pieces of parchment and said:
”This is a portion of the meaning of Rossel’s secret symbols, a sort of free knowledge for you to better collect your journals.”
This included a numerical section and a chronological section.
The reason why Klein was teaching the Tarot Club members this knowledge was because he was afraid that they would buy fakes afterward.
From the date section alone, one could at least rule out the vast majority of counterfeit products …… Klein laughed lightly in his heart.
”Justice” Audrey and the others were unusually surprised, they didn’t expect to end up with this kind of harvest, although they had already found out that the secret symbols on the parchment were the simplest ones, they all believed that this was a good start, and that with the first time, there would be a second and a third time!
After a few more exchanges, Klein said in a calm tone:
”Let’s end the party here today.”
”As you wish.” Audrey, Alger, and the others rose at the same time, each saluting.
A deep red light then dissipated, and the ancient palace above the gray mist once again returned to tranquility, leaving only Klein sitting alone on the high-backed chair belonging to the “Fool”.
