Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 99 – Unsuccessful Camouflage
When “Sun” Derek finished speaking, Klein nodded as he maneuvered the World:
”More detailed than I thought.”
”The deal is complete.”
Before the “World” finished speaking, Klein had already synchronized the unblocking of “Justice”, “Inverted Man” and “Magician”. “.
The scene was briefly quiet for a few seconds before “The World” looked around and smiled grimly:
”I have no further needs for the moment.”
Foerth, who had a rough idea of the process and characteristics, jumped at the chance to purchase the “Apprentice” corresponding to Sequence 8, “Master Juggler”.
She clearly remembered that Mr. “Fool” said that the reason why she was plagued by full-moon ravings was because her level of life was not yet high enough, and that the pain would be reduced as she advanced in the sequence.
This made Fools eager to get the subsequent formula.
However, this will expose the extraordinary pathway …… I’m in when we all become familiar and know more about each other, and the exposure will be exposed, not something too serious, but the last few gatherings, it’s still important to cover it up, lest the party members use it to lock down the reality of who I am… …Voorhees still calmly thought for a moment and said:
”I want the recipes for ‘Apothecary’ and ‘Juggler’ in exchange for money.”
She intentionally added the “Apothecary” formula to her real needs, so as to interfere with other people’s judgment, if any member really has this formula, she will eat it as usual, and afterwards increase the price to sell it to Viscount Grelint who has longed for that formula for a long time, and anyway, she certainly won’t lose out because of this, and maybe she can even make a big profit.
As for money, Forsyth wasn’t short of it for the time being, not only were the royalties from her own best-selling books still coming into her account in a lump sum that was accumulating, but she also had extras, such as the 650 pounds payoff she had received from Miss Audrey for the two incidents at Zillinger’s and Beckland, the ambassador of the Intis.
Poor Hugh, his own money to pay the families of the two dead in the Lanlus incident, spent more than two hundred pounds, I do not know whether Miss Audrey will be reimbursed when the wind passes …… The note with the name of Mr. Fool was found in the books of the Viscount of Gryllingt’s house. A note with Mr. Fool’s name on it was found in the Viscount Graylingt’s books. Was one of his grandfathers a member of this party? Was this a party that had been meeting regularly for hundreds of years? Folth’s thoughts suddenly wandered a bit.
Audrey “Justice”, who was only two seats away from her, heard the other party’s request for the recipes of the “Apothecary” and “Master Juggler”, and only slightly stared, then accurately grasped the other party’s mind.
”She is Voorhees! The ‘Master Juggler’ was for herself, and the ‘Apothecary’ was used to sell it to Graylingt and use it to confuse and hoodwink others …… “Audrey gave a slight Audrey nodded her head invisibly, already sure of the identity of the “magician”.
The sequence itself will not be high, at most 8, most likely only 9, also do not know where Mr. “Fool” pulled from, what special place …… accent with Bakerland characteristics, but may not be in Bakerland … … …Alger “The Hanged Man” is also observing the newest member of the group, and has tentatively confirmed that he is not a threat to himself.
”Derek “The Sun” didn’t think much of it, but was just speculating whether Ms. Magician belonged to the Silver City area or the world where Ms. Justice and the others lived.
Klein, on the other hand, gave Ms. Magician a pitying look, not holding out much hope for her attempts to hide her identity.
When you meet a “mind reader” who is very familiar with you, even if you know the other party’s ability in advance and take appropriate precautions, you may not be able to hide your true thoughts, not to mention that you don’t know anything …… “Fool”! “Klein sighed for Ms. Magician in his heart.
At the same time, he manipulated the “world” and hissed:
”I have the recipe for ‘The Apothecary’ for 230 pounds.”
”As for the ‘Juggler’s’ formula, I’ll do my best to find it for you, but there’s no guarantee it will work.”
There was no contradiction between exchanging the “Apothecary” formula for money and using it to train a useful helper, it could be done at the same time, so Klein let “The World” preempt the offer, lest the “Inverted Man So, Klein let the “world” take the lead, so as not to be cut off by the “inverted man” and the “sun”.
As for the “master juggler” formula, he just had some ideas.
In his opinion, this magical item “Master Key” was probably related to “Apprentice”, which was the corresponding sequence 9 of “Master Juggler”, so he might be able to find some clues if he divined its source on the gray mist. I might be able to find some clues.
In fact, the most convenient way is to ask the existence of the suspected Mr. Door, who constantly whispers during the full moon, in addition to asking for help, and presumably teaching recipes and playing methods, in order to make the target strong enough to complete the difficult tasks, but unfortunately, the target is too strong to listen to his ravings, and when he does so, he will break down and show signs of loss of control. Signs of loss of control appear, which creates a dead cycle …… Klein oiled a sigh of relief.
Forsyth did not rush to respond to the words of Mr. World, turned to look around, but found that the “hanging man”, “justice” and “sun” did not mean to speak. “The Hanged Man, Justice, and the Sun had no intention of opening their mouths.
Apparently, none of them knew exactly what was in the formulas of “The Apothecary” and “The Juggler”.
”Mr. ‘World’, I hope you can find the ‘Juggling Master’s’ magic potion formula as soon as possible.” Voorhees was silent for a few seconds and said, “And the ‘Medicine Master’s’ formula, I’m ready to buy it now, how should I pay for it?”
The other party also seems to be a Rune, willing to accept gold pounds …… However, gold pounds have always been more recognized than coins such as Goldhorn and Intifel …… While speaking, Voorhees was also judging the “world “The World.
”The World” paid no attention at all to her gawking, and said in a low voice:
”When you go back, sacrifice the cash to Mr. ‘Fool’ so that the deal is complete.”
”The exact sacrifice process is ……”
Sacrifice? “Mr. ‘Fool’ can still accept sacrifices? His life level had reached this level? No wonder he used that tone to describe the owner of the full moon ravings …… Fools listened and memorized with astonishment and dismay and took it for granted.
Finished, Klein in front of the “world” manifested the “pharmacist” formula, let the dummy handed to the “magician” lady:
”The transaction was witnessed by Mr. Fool, so you don’t have to worry about it being fake.”
”I trust Mr. ‘Fool’.” Fools nodded instantly, unfolded the recipe, and memorized it carefully.
At this time, “Justice” Audrey, who couldn’t bear to see her acquaintance work so hard, mentioned something:
”You can ask Mr. ‘Fool’ to help you recall it while making the sacrifice, you don’t need to memorize it specifically, and when you encounter problems, you can also pray to k by chanting his name.”
”k?” “Justice”-san was addressing “Fool”-san with a personal pronoun that represents a deity! Is it really ‘k’? But why would k be willing to help out with such a small task?…… That’s not right either, as long as the ritual magic is appropriate, the seven orthodox deities will often respond to believers and fulfill their requests……. Forsyth said to “Justice” with a sideways glance. ” said:
”Thank you for the reminder that your title is your character.”
…… Audrey suddenly had a slight heart attack.
She whirled around and thought of another question, and busily spoke:
”Ms. ‘Magician’, do you know the ‘Playing Method’?”
”Play Act?” Voorhees looked at the other party in confusion.
She quickly realized that members of the Sun and the Hanged Man had no additional reaction to the term, and clearly knew exactly what it meant.
Today s party makes me feel like a country girl who just arrived in Beckland …… I have at least been to so many gatherings of the extraordinary! Voorhees thought, half sadly and half gleefully.
She couldn’t help but want to write a novel with this emotion, this feeling, and call it Miss Voor’s Travels in Dreamland.
”You don’t seem to know.” Audrey made a positive judgment based on the other’s reaction and usual behavior.
She turned her body and looked to the uppermost head of the long ancient table, addressing the figure shrouded in a thick gray mist:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, can you tell Miss ‘Magician’ about the ‘Playing Law’?”
”If it is possible, what price does she need to pay?”
Audrey was going to directly ask if she still exchanged this for a new Rossel’s diary like before, but then she whirled around and thought that Forsyth’s Circle of Extraordinary People overlapped greatly with her own, and in this way, she would be losing a lot of chances to get a copy of Rossel’s diary.
This is not a very important issue, sooner or later, Forsyth will know that Mr. “Fool” needs Roselle’s diary, and I am sure that I will have other extraordinary circle, but she knows that I have a few pages of Roselle’s diary, and if she wants to collect them, she will definitely be the first one to look for me, but my diary, Mr. “Fool” has read all of them. “Mr. have read them all …… After this party, I’ll have to find a chance to tell Fools that those Roselle diaries were accidentally lost …… “Justice” Audrey pushed through the chain reaction, trying her best to show her concern to Mr. “Fool” with her body language.
What was Ms. “Justice” implying? Well, she knows Fools, but doesn’t want to reveal her identity, which means she doesn’t want my proposed payment to cause distress in that regard …… Klein chuckled softly thoughtfully:
”You decide, you explain, I don’t want to repeat similar topics.”
It was a sign of respect for the goddess …… he added mentally.
Praise be to Mr. “Fool”! “Justice” Audrey’s heart leapt with joy.
She straightened her back, lifted her chin slightly, and tried to look at Mr. Fool, the Magician, in a different way than usual:
”The ‘play method’ is a way to speed up the mastery of magic potions and minimize the risk of losing control.”
”Do you want to know?”
There was such a method? Is it real or fake? A great person of such a high level as Mr. “Fool” surely wouldn’t lie about such a trivial matter! Foerth opened his slightly lazy eyes wide and pursed his lips:
”I want to!”
As long as one was an extraordinary person, there was no such thing as not wanting to know similar methods! Voorhees was suddenly a little excited.
Audrey seriously thought about it and said:
”Two requirements, one is not to tell others about the ‘playing method’ without the permission of Mr. ‘Fool’.”
”The second is a payment of 200 pounds.”
Her initial intention was to use the Roselle diary to discount the price, when she and the “inverted hanged man” used the number of pages of the diary to pay back, it will be converted into the corresponding price, but the reality is that the Roselle diary because it can’t be deciphered, it sells cheaply, and in many cases, the authenticity of the real and fake can’t be determined, so the total price converted to a little bit sorry for the “play law”, so she added some extra on top of that.
Well …… if Mr. Fool’s dependents are no longer in need of money, then I will take the 200 pounds, and then look for a diary to give Mr. Fool to offset the debt! …… Audrey had already thought about the subsequent transaction.
200 pounds? 200 pounds for a way to reduce the risk of losing control? That’s a bargain, isn’t it? Shocked and delighted, Fools was afraid that the other party would renege and spoke without hesitation:
”Deal!”
Only after she finished speaking did she feel a bit distressed about the money, feeling that her bankroll was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
