The Faceless Man Chapter 228 – Increased “Channels”
Chick? Was the Original Witch a man? Kraven almost raised his hand and cupped his chin.
He had once speculated that it was the existence of the “Original Witch”, an evil god, that caused the “Assassin” pathway to mutate into a female and become fixed from Sequence 7 onwards, but who knew that Roselle’s diary showed that the “Original Witch” might have started out as a male? Who knows, Russell’s diary suggests that the “Original Witch” may have started out as a male as well.
This can indicate two things: first, the “original witch” is not a natural deity, but only through magic potion to reach the position of sequence 0, and second, the purely feminine change of this pathway is embedded in the extraordinary characteristics.
Rossel once speculated on the truth of the law of conservation of extraordinary properties, suspecting that all extraordinary properties come from the original Creator and only from that Creator, so there will be no increase in the total amount of fixed …… assuming that the truth, which indicates that the Lord who creates all things inclusive of all things, yin, yang, and neuter in one… …and that the “witch” pathway is a representation of pure femininity? Of course, that ancient book may indeed be a fake …… Today’s Roselle’s diary is very informative ah …… In a flash of thought, Klein let the diary disappear into his hands.
”You may begin.” He smiled at “Justice” “Sun” and the others.
”Inverted Hangman” Alger instantly looked to “The World”:
”Your extraordinary trait of ‘Werewolf’ sold, and a craftsman paid 1200 pounds to take it, of which I will receive 200 pounds, as agreed.
”Also, I found a lead on the hair of the Deep Sea Naga, £100 a piece, and you are asking for a total of 5. If you have no questions about this deal, then I’ll do it as soon as possible.”
Klein promised a higher percentage of share in the matter of the extraordinary characteristics of the “werewolf” because he knew that the “inverted hangman” for this effort and risk than the vampire Emlyn White.
At this point, he thought for a moment, and then operated the “world” response:
”No problem, you as soon as possible to give me five deep sea naga hair and 500 pounds in cash.”
That leaves only the Human Skin Phantom trait, and my gold pounds have increased to £1,235, which isn’t enough to match, so if I want to not wait for the Mechanical Heart’s exploration of the Mausoleum of the House of Amon, I’ll need something like another £500 to £1,000 to buy it outright when I come across it… …Klein subconsciously thought about what other items or knowledge he had that could be exchanged for money.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the object of the transaction had the ability to pay for it.
Hearing this, “Justice” Audrey raised her hand with a small amplitude and said without making any concealment:
”I seek to purchase three materials, a pair of Mirror Dragon’s eyes, 50 milliliters of its blood, and the fruit of the Tree of Elders.”
”Ms. Justice” got the recipe for the “Psychiatrist” magic potion ah …… Klein instantly made a judgment, “Inverted Hanging Man “also got a similar conclusion.
”…… I will write and ask my teacher, hopefully he has one of these ingredients there.” Forsythe mused.
”Sun,” Derek nodded along:
”I’ll keep an eye out as well, corrupted Mirror Dragons aren’t uncommon, nor are Elder Trees, ergo, in Silver City, there are also extraordinary traits left behind by ‘Psycho Analysts’, however, it’s hard to trade to get them, and easy to be suspicious of them as well.”
”Psychoanalyst” was the ancient name for “psychiatrist”.
Their exchange reached Klein’s ears, and he then manipulated the “world” so that Mr. Dummy spoke grimly and hoarsely:
”I’ll ask around in my circle, and by the way, continue to help me find the characteristics of the human-skinned Phantom.”
”Good.” “Justice,” Audrey turned her head rather confidently to look across the room, “Mr. ‘Inverted Man’, the ‘Wind Favorsman’ magic potion formula you need, I will likewise pay attention.”
She had already joined the “Psychological Alchemy Society”, with a hidden organization behind her, where a lot of materials might not be scarce anymore, and could be obtained as long as she paid a sufficient price.
”Magicians,” Forsyth repeated in turn:
”I will write and ask my teacher.”
Witnessing such a development, Klein was quite relieved, after a long time of hard work, the Tarot Society had finally opened up two big channels, the “Psychological Alchemy Society” and the Abrahams family, and a lot of things would become easier.
”The world” said with a low laugh:
”Your answers fill me with hope, but you must also take care to protect yourselves and proceed in a way that draws as little suspicion as possible.”
”Mr. ‘World’, you rarely talk so much.” Audrey returned with a light smile.
…… got a little carried away, and for a moment didn’t pay attention to the original persona of the “world”…… Klein immediately made up for it, making the “world ” laugh lowly:
”You’ve become valuable enough that I’d like to keep similar deals going for a long, long time, so that’s why I’m reminding you.”
”Thanks.” Audrey gracefully saluted.
At that moment, “Sun” Derek hesitantly said:
”I’ll try it too, I’ve completed several patrol missions recently without any abnormalities.”
Very good …… Klein said darkly, making the “world” shut his mouth.
After a short silence, Alger the Inverted looked thoughtfully at Ms. “Justice”:
”I want to know the details of the assassination case of Duke Negan, what kind of payment do you need?”
Why me? As someone close to the Storm Church, shouldn’t you already be fully aware of the specifics of this case? Audrey was stunned for a moment, but then she figured out what Mr. “Inverted Man” was trying to do.
He wanted to ask about the organization or force that drove the “Apostle of Desire”, but it is not good to directly ask Mr. “Fool”, that is too abrupt, there is the implication of questioning, so, in a roundabout way, by asking me to open the topic, and softly shifted the focus to the things that you want to know. He knew that I was a lady of the nobility, and that I should be concerned about the assassination of the Duke of Neagan, and he did not worry that I would not answer. …… Mr. “The Hanged Man” is very sophisticated! …… “Justice,” Audrey said with a slight hook of her mouth:
”No, there is no need to pay, each other free exchange of common sense information about their respective regions is not the purpose of our Tarot Club?”
Only in this way can our Tarot Club develop and grow rapidly! She thought with a sense of ownership.
”Your words put me to shame.” “Inverted Hanging Man,” Alger froze for two seconds, pressing his hand to his chest and leaning his body slightly.
…… “Fool” Klein, who was shrouded in a thick gray fog, laughed inwardly.
Audrey pursed her lips lightly and weighed her words:
”‘Desire’ Apostle with the help of a special scene, with its own ability to detonate intense emotions and desires, completed the assassination of Duke Negan, and at the cost of serious injuries, broke out successfully and infiltrated the sewers.
”By the time the ‘Night Watchman’ caught up with him, he was already dead, and there was also the chivalrous thief ‘Black Emperor’ at the scene, this gentleman didn’t go there for the purpose of extermination, his goal was to commission the ‘Apostle of Desire The organization that commissioned the ‘Apostles of Desire’.”
That organization? Just as the “Hanged Man” was wondering to himself, the “Fool” Klein at the top of the long bronze table praised the “Justice” lady silently, and looked at the other party in passing, reminding him as if casually:
”In the outside world, do not mention the name of that organization, and do not write it down.”
”Why?” Audrey blurted out rather startled.
Klein leaned back in his chair and responded in an even tone:
”Where there is a word, it shall be known.”
All words will be known …… “Justice” Audrey subconsciously looked at Mr. “Fool”, only to feel that the other side of the blurred eyes hidden in the gray fog as if to emphasize something.
Mr. “Fool” means, as long as you are not in k’s kingdom of God, not talking to k, mentioning or writing down the name of the “Dusk Hermits”, you will be sensed by them in some way or some object…. …I think that’s what I mean……… It’s really an extremely secretive and powerful organization! To a certain extent, even more terrifying than the Church of the Seven Gods …… And Mr. “Fool”, and we, the Tarot Club, are in pursuit of them …… Audrey felt that she understood a lot of things at once! Things, immediately straightened his back and said:
”I will obey your command.”
Where there are words, they will be known …… A hidden organization that cannot even be mentioned by name? A powerful organization that I know nothing about? Is this the force behind the Apostle of Desire? “Mr. Fool is sending his dependents to look for them? The situation at the higher levels of this world is really more complicated than I had imagined, and there are even more secrets that I can’t even begin to guess. …… Alger “The Hanged Man” nodded his head imperceptibly, his heart shocked and excited.
At this time, he had an impulse to pay, from the “fool” Mr. for the name of the organization.
But after careful consideration, he felt that there was no need to do so, although understanding the high-level situation would be beneficial to him in perfecting his plans for the future and play an important role in certain situations, but at present, he was only at the bottom of the middle sequence and basically had no access to things related to that mysterious organization, his more urgent need at the moment was the formula and materials of the “Wind Familiars”, for which he had to save up enough money and materials. His more pressing need at the moment was the formula and materials for the “Wind Favors”, for which he had to accumulate enough wealth.
When he succeeded in his promotion, he would find a chance to ask Mr. “Fool” …… “Hanging Man” Alger made a note of this matter.
”Magician” Forsyth listened to the slightly confused, what “Apostle of Desire”, what “all words, will be known” organization, and she learned from the newspaper content is very different.
Behind the assassination of a duke there are really many secrets and many undercurrents …… Unfortunately, it seems that the name of that organization can not be written down, otherwise it will be used as the villain of the novel after that, it must be very classic …… There are still ten pages of diaries owed, as well as the spirit eater’s stomach pouch has not been purchased, this kind of high-end thing is not necessary to spend money for the time being. There is no need to spend money to learn about such high end things for the time being …… Eh, the hidden secrets and knowledge circulating at the Tarot is simply ten times as much as Mr. A s party, if not more! Forsyth pressed the curiosity of a writer.
As for Derek “The Sun”, he didn’t know who Duke Negan was, so it didn’t matter who had assassinated him.
He sat silent and introspective, as quiet as if he were in a class.
When the business of the “Hermits of the Dusk” had come to an end, “Magician” Forsyth looked around and asked tentatively:
”Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a solution to the problem of too much accumulation of extraordinary traits at the same level?”
