Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 6 Living Expenses
Ordering magical items? “It took Alger the Hanged Man a second to realize what Ms. Justice was talking about.
The limits of his thinking were suddenly opened, and he felt that there was room for this matter to be exploited:
”In a sense, the extraordinary characteristics of the ‘World’ commission have already been counted as sold, and the item has a definite end point …… I can completely simplify the process to make things easier and more favorable to me, that is to say, I don’t have to sell it to the ‘Artisan’ again. need to sell it to ‘Artisan’ again, I should choose the commissioned production method, this way, I don’t have to worry about whether the characteristic sells or not, and I can get the drawback given by ‘The World’ as well as reap more from ‘Justice ‘ Miss, the only upfront cost that needs to be paid is the commissioning fee, but of course, the risk of the ‘artisan’ not keeping their promise must be considered ……”
One idea after another surfaced, “Inverted Hanging Man” Alger quickly weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.
”No problem, I’ll take care of this.” He looked over at Miss “Justice”, only to feel that the other party emitted a golden radiance that made it impossible to look directly at her.
Even after joining the Church of Storms and drifting the seas for years, he hadn’t seen anyone like that anywhere else.
There were a lot of big spenders and even more rich people, but none of them really cared about money.
”Had Miss Justice’s finances improved to such an extent? “Klein the Fool was startled.
For a moment, he wanted to speak out and urge the other party to pay the 2000 pounds owed to his dependents as soon as possible, but considering that he had promised Miss Justice to postpone the repayment until February or March, he could only remain motionless without uttering a word, lest the image of the “Fool” be damaged! I’m not going to spoil the image of the Fool.
At least the money for “Faceless Man’s” extraordinary features will be available soon, the speed depends only on how Mr. “Hanging Man” contacted a certain “Craftsman” and how the “Craftsman” made the magical items. The speed depends only on how Mr. Hanged Man contacts a certain “craftsman” and how fast the “craftsman” creates the magical item. …… Unfortunately, for the time being, Mr. Hanged Man can only rely on Mr. Hanged Man to contact the “craftsman”, or else he can just sell the trait directly to “Justice”. Otherwise, we can directly sell the characteristics to Ms. “Justice” without having to pay a commission……. Thinking about this, Klein’s mood became a little complicated.
After finalizing a big deal, “Hanging Man” Alger breathed a silent sigh of relief, feeling that his financial situation was slowly improving.
He thought for a few seconds and inquired:
”Ladies and gentlemen, do any of you have a method or item for putting everyone spread out on a ship to sleep at the same time?”
The reason why Alger hadn’t gone to that pristine island to hunt the Blue Shadow Falcon until today was because he hadn’t thought of how to leave the Blue Avenger and the ten or so sailors and crew members belonging to the Church without arousing suspicion.
Putting a ship full of people into a deep sleep? The first thing that came to mind was the Biotoxin Vial, but the effects of that thing were impossible to control, and it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.
Immediately after that, he remembered the soul of the “nightmare” from “Creeping Hunger”, putting people to sleep and dragging them into a dream, belonging to the specialty of this extraordinary profession.
”But the problem is, the ‘Nightmare’ has no way to let so many people enter the dream world at the same time, and the limit of influence is no more than ten people, to meet Mr. ‘Inverted Hanging Man’s’ requirements, it must be at least Sequence 5 of the corresponding pathway, and may even be To satisfy Mr. Pendant’s request, at least the sequence 5 of the corresponding pathway is required, and even a strong person at the level of demigod and half-human ……” Klein dismissed the idea and didn’t let the “world” open its mouth.
At the same time, “Justice” Audrey, “Magician” Forsyth and “Sun” Derek either shook their heads in response or answered with “no”. ” as an answer.
”Moon,” Emlyn said in retrospect:
”I can ask around for you, perhaps we have magical items with similar effects within the Blood Clan.”
Always say “we Bloods” …… can start convincing …… “Inverted Hanged Man” more from this aspect in the future Alger grasped something and nodded with a smile:
”Trouble you.”
Seeing that the trading part was nearing its end, Klein busily asked “The World” to mention the latest demand:
”Everyone, keep an eye out for the remnant spirit of the Ancient Grievous Spirit and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle for me.”
Other than that, the supplementary materials weren’t too difficult to purchase, and he didn’t see the need to go through the Tarot Club.
”Okay.” “Sun,” Derek was the first to respond, then added shyly, “Mr. ‘World’, the method you want to remove the spiritual contamination within the Extraordinary Characteristics will have to wait for a while, and I should soon be able to advance to the Sequence 7.”
With that, he looked to the side again:
”Mr. ‘Inverted Man’, as soon as I return to Silver City, I will compile a list of common monsters in the surrounding area.”
Every single thing he owed to others, every promise promised but not fulfilled, he kept it firmly in his mind and felt that he couldn’t sleep peacefully enough.
”No problem.” The somber World said without much concern.
It was true that Klein wasn’t in too much of a hurry, his “Faceless Code” hadn’t even been summarized and perfected yet, and the digestion of the magic potion had only begun, and it would take several more months to follow.
Therefore, his plan is not to go straight to the Galgas Islands, as an “adventurer” and “traveler” to be active in the various colonial islands along the way, changing his identity from time to time and experiencing life, in order to refine the “Faceless Code”. The “Code of the Faceless Man”.
In the process, he would inquire about the mermaids in more detail – knowing that the Church of the Goddess kept such spiritual creatures and possessed the formula for a high sequence of magical potions in the way of the Diviner, Klein was always worried that there was a “Faceless Man” in the Galgas Islands who was targeting everyone seeking to be promoted. Faceless Men” seeking promotion.
In other words, Klein would have to spend two to three months or even more traveling and adventuring on the Sunia Sea, which would be long enough for the Sun to get the potion formula, collect all the corresponding materials, and be promoted to a Sequence 7 “Sun Magus”.
With the trading portion of the meeting over, the members of the Tarot Club entered a free exchange of ideas.
Audrey “Justice” did not fail to live up to the expectations of the “Inverted Man”, and stood up first, lifted the hem of her skirt in vain, and bowed to the top of the long bronze table:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, I would like to know the hidden truth behind the Beckland haze incident, which was purely caused by the cultists in order to let the ‘Original Witch’ awaken and the ‘True Creator’ descend? Why did Prince Edzak choose to cooperate with them?
”According to the principle of quid pro quo that you have established, what do I need to pay in order to obtain the appropriate information?”
If only I knew, things would have been completely resolved by now …… The experienced Klein maintained his leisurely sitting posture and let out a light laugh:
”No need.
”The root of the problem has yet to be discovered, but there are enough clues, so I hope that the people of the three major churches will not be too stupid.”
The root of the problem had not yet been discovered? Things haven’t been completely resolved? Mr. “Fool” had the dependents leave certain clues for the churches and the military? Audrey was quite shocked to hear that, but felt that it wasn’t too much of a surprise given her previous worries and concerns.
”Thank you for your answer.” She sincerely curtsied again.
There was still danger to Becklander? “Magician” Voorhees was instantly a little uneasy.
When Miss “Justice” sat down, Klein maneuvered the “world” and laughed:
”Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’, I found that Baron you were talking about.”
”The Barron involved in multiple slave escapes on the colonized islands?” “Mr. ‘Inverted Man’ asked rhetorically, not quite believing it.
”Yes. Brownish-red skin, southern continental race, Birkeland accent, third tooth on the left is a false one.” “The World” hissed in reply.
”…… should be him.” “The Inverted Man,” Alger said after two seconds of recollection, “Where is he? What is his current status? And, Mr. ‘World’, would you like to take a hundred pounds in cash outright, or the equivalent in items?”
This was a Storm Church mission, and buying clues was a reimbursable offense, so the “Hanged Man” was under no pressure.
Money, of course! Fool” Klein, who was worried about the cost of living, manipulated the “world” and said:
”One hundred pounds in cash.
”Barron was seen in Birkeland meeting with an MI9 officer loyal to the Crown, I don’t know who exactly because he was wearing a mask.”
”An MI9 officer loyal to the Crown ……” “The Inverted Man” chewed on this passage and suddenly thought of “Justice “Ms. just now’s question: why did Prince Edzak cooperate with the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult?
This also points to the royal family …… Can the two cases be merged? The truth behind the matter involves the disappearance of slaves? Alger felt that he vaguely saw some key points.
”You are truly a man of many channels and information, that £100 cash will be paid tomorrow.” “The Inverted Man,” Alger thanked with an outwardly stoic smile.
”Hey.” “The World” gave a laugh and turned to look at “The Sun”:
”Know the ancient Hermetic language, little one?”
Derek didn’t make a secret of it and answered honestly:
”I have heard of the Hermetic language, but Silver City does not possess the knowledge of it.”
In the Second Age, there was no distinction between Hermetic and Ancient Hermetic, and it wasn’t until the Fourth Age at some point that Ancient Hermetic was simplified accordingly, making it easier to apply, teach, and spread on a daily basis, but no longer possessing such a strong and direct ceremonial effect, which is to say that the Hermetic language in the mouth of the little “sun” is equal to the Ancient Hermetic language, which is the same as the ancient Hermetic language. Ancient Hermetic language …… Silver City’s history really has Hermes this person …… Klein secretly nodded:
”It’s a pity, would have liked to ask you for a favor.”
At this time, “Justice” Audrey remembered something from their conversation, originating from the Psycho Alchemy Society.
She was going to communicate directly, but she looked at the newly promoted member, Mr. “Moon”, and felt that she didn’t know each other too well, so she raised her hand in a small way and said:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, I have something to report to you.”
Klein nodded gently, isolating himself from the others’ perceptual abilities.
”What is it?” He asked in a flat tone.
Audrey spoke truthfully:
”I got some news from the Psycho Alchemy Society, the most important of which is that their establishment stems from the excavation of Hermes’ relics, the same Master Hermes who created the ancient Hermetic language.”
Remains of Hermes? This old gentleman was still alive a couple hundred years ago. …… Did he deliberately lead the Psycho-Alchemy Society to discover the relics, or had he already fallen in the Roselle incident? Klein had a heart attack, deliberated, and reminded with a smile:
”Hermes was a member of the ‘Twilight Hermit Society’.”
He didn’t mention that Hermes might still be alive, because it was impossible to know for sure.
Hermes was a member of the Dusk Hermits? The Psycho Alchemy Society was probably involved with this mysterious organization? Audrey was shocked, but then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, I have the Tarot Club behind me and Mr. “Fool”, otherwise there is no way to know, unable to prevent …… She once again gratefully praised the “Fool”.
At this time, Klein would have liked to comfort “justice” Miss two sentences, so that she is not too painful too worried about the Beckland haze event, mature does not mean that you have to give up a certain amount of good mood and a smile on the face, which will not affect the importance of the matter, on the contrary, it will help himself to hold on longer, but after consideration, in order to maintain the But after some consideration, in order to maintain the image of the “Fool”, he had to give up this advice from the former “Joker”.
Immediately, he canceled his block on the other members and waited for the end of the exchange and the end of the tarot party.
