  ”The World” looked around the circle and said:

  ”I would like information on all the ragtag nobles in the Kingdom of Ruin, including their current addresses, the more detailed the better.”

  The reason he didn’t mention Pound from Baron directly was because Detective Sherlock Moriarty was taking over an underground building investigation case involving the Pound family.

  Klein didn’t want “Justice” to figure out the identity of “The World” based on this.

  You can’t ignore every detail! He emphasized to himself again.

  ”Justice” Audrey was stunned for a moment as she listened, once again scrutinizing the member at the end of the long bronze table and asking tentatively:

  ”What do you want?”

  ”The World” hissed a laugh, “You needn’t worry, I’m just looking for something that won’t do them any harm, that much I can swear, as witnessed by Mr. ‘Fool’. ”

  Mr. “World” is really good at restraining his body language …… His profession is the nemesis of “spectators” and “mind readers “Mind readers”? Audrey nodded thoughtfully:

  ”The information of the broken nobles, I know some of it, but it’s not detailed enough, not specific enough, not comprehensive enough, I need a certain amount of time to perfect it, it’ll probably take three or four days, is that okay?”

  As an aristocrat, having an understanding of people at the same level is a mandatory lesson, and when attending various balls, banquets, and salons, Audrey could always hear interesting stories, but it was all presented in fragments, and it was difficult to form a whole, after all, she wasn’t an expert in researching the contents of this area, and she still needed to flip through books, inquire and look up information to fill in the details, and not leave out any of the ragtag noblemen.

  ”No problem.” “The World” laughed lowly, “So what do you expect to be paid for, what I can pay immediately at the moment are: some hidden history of the Fourth Age, knowledge about certain extraordinary pathways, and a couple of formulas, but frankly I don’t think those ragtag nobility things can be equated with the Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 magic potion formulas equivalent, heh, if you ask for something else, I’ll try to fulfill it.”

  It is not equivalent to the magic potion formula of Sequence 8 and Sequence 7, that is to say, I can’t put forward the corresponding request of the “psychiatrist” …… “Justice” Audrey seriously thought about it.

  In this process, she quietly looked at the ancient long table at the top of the “Fool” Mr. glance, hoping to get a little hint, as a result, she found that the “Fool” Mr. shrouded in gray fog, no reaction, just like the gods watching the earth.

  Well …… Audrey finally made a decision and smiled lightly:

  ”I would like to hear about certain extraordinary pathways, but only if I don’t know about them.”

  ”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, can you be the judge?”

  ”Yes.” Klein replied flatly.

  ”Then we’ll communicate alone.” Audrey looked over at The World.

  At that moment, Klein tapped the table, isolating the sight and hearing of the “Sun” and the “Inverted Man”.

  He deliberately nodded to Trumpet, signaling that he was now in a state of solo communication.

  ”The World” looked at Ms. “Justice” and said in her usual hoarse voice:

  ”What do you know about the Witch Cult?”

  Audrey, recalling the information she had last bought from Alger “The Inverted Man” at a cost of 1000 pounds, answered briefly and guardedly:

  ”I know what they believe in, what era they originated in, what extraordinary avenues they hold, and what tendencies the hierarchy has.”

  ”The World” laughed hoarsely:

  ”I see, you don’t know much.”

  ”The Witch Cult holds the ‘Assassin’ pathway, and Sequence 8 is the ‘Instigator’.”

  ”That’s clear to me.” Audrey said, half-reminding, half-expecting.

  ”The World” lifted his hand and rubbed his chin:

  ”And do you know what the corresponding sequence 7 is?”

  Audrey shook her head with a very small amplitude, “I’d be happy to hear about it.”

  ”Sequence 7 of the ‘Assassin’ pathway is called ‘Witch’.” “The World” said succinctly.

  ”Witch?” Audrey was startled by the word, and the natural association within her mind went accordingly, “How would it play if, if a male took this magic potion?”

  Wear pretty dresses and elaborate makeup, mimicking a lady in every move? She whispered inwardly with some disgust and inexplicable amusement.

  ”No, Ms. ‘Justice’, when a male takes this magic potion, he cannot be called a male anymore, he has become a true lady.” Klein resisted the urge to tsk and manipulate the ‘world’ in reply.

  ”Goddess, a ‘witch’ magic potion can change a person’s gender?” Audrey blurted out.

  This, this was unimaginable! Mr. “Fool” didn’t deny it, which meant it was true! It was a miracle! This is the world of the mysterious and the extraordinary, the world of all sorts of incredible things! This is the world I want to live in! I, why am I getting a little excited …… After calming down a little, Audrey gave Mr. “Fool” a quick, guilty look, repenting a little for chanting the name of the Goddess of the Night in front of him.

  ”The World” whispered:

  ”Yes, but it can only turn males into females, and females will correspondingly increase their own charms, whether it be their looks and appearance, or the condition of their skin, they will become significantly better from what they already are, which is why the top brass of the Witch Cult are all females.”

  ”Then what are its disadvantages?” Audrey was suddenly impressed.

  ”The world” replied in a not-so-slow tone:

  ”The requirement to play is to be the evil one who brings calamity, disease and pain.”

  Audrey let out a small exhale, slightly disappointed.

  Her thoughts turned quickly and she immediately had new doubts:

  ”If, and I mean if, an animal takes the ‘witch’ magic potion and doesn’t die or get out of control, does its increased charisma mean it becomes human, or does it increase the attractiveness of its own race? Like, a female cat that all male cats and all cat lovers are crazy about?”

  ”The World” was at a loss for words for a moment, and it took a few seconds before he said:

  ”I haven’t studied such things.”

  Not waiting for Audrey to ask again, he added:

  ”The corresponding Sequence 6 of ‘Witch’ is ‘Pleasure’, also known as Pleasure Witch, the requirement of the role is to bring pleasure to both men and women, mainly in that area, and use it to control, or rather influence, them, and the Witches of this Sequence are quite skilled in the use of strange spider silk.”

  Audrey opened her pretty mouth and then silently closed it tightly, deeply regretting her earlier yearning.

  ”Knowing this knowledge, in the future you will be able to effectively distinguish between magical girls, huh, are you still satisfied with this payment?” “World” opened her mouth and asked.

  Audrey nodded gently and said:

  ”This is very helpful to me, well …… the deal is reached, I will help you collect the information of the broken nobles as soon as possible, and give it to you at the next gathering?”

  ”The World” mused:

  ”Can it be as soon as possible?”

  ”Then I’ll dedicate it to Mr. ‘Fool’ when I’m done collecting it and ask k to bestow it on you, Mr. ‘Fool’, is that okay?” Audrey asked with a sideways glance.

  Klein in the thick gray fog nodded his head in agreement.

  At the same time, he was very busy manipulating the ‘world’ whispering:

  ”k?”

  It was a different character from the personal pronouns that had gone wrong.

  Noticing the World’s surprise, Audrey’s mouth quirked and her eyes rolled upward, deliberately not trying to explain.

  Klein knocked on the bronze table to indicate the end of the exchange.

  Then, he once again manipulated the “world” and said:

  ”I have one more question.”

  The newcomer had certainly accumulated a lot of demand …… Audrey was not surprised to look over.

  Alger “The Inverted Man” and Derek “The Sun” each had body language that indicated they were listening as well.

  ”World” said huskily:

  ”I would like to know if there are any more High Sequence powerhouses in the Sauron family of Intis.”

  As “World” spoke, Klein swept “Sun” out of the corner of his eye and realized that the teenager had no additional reaction.

  It seems that the Silver City probably has no records of the Sauron family …… This family most likely rose to prominence after the Cataclysm …… Klein thoughtfully looked around the circle, and found that “Justice” and the “The Hanged Man looked at each other, obviously do not know the answer, and the Sun is undoubtedly confused and silent.

  So he tapped the table again and said:

  ”I’ll answer that question; what can you pay for it?”

  Before the words left his mouth, Klein again hastily maneuvered the “World” to speak:

  ”A formula, a Sequence 7 formula.”

  ”Yes, deal.” Klein created a separate environment for communication, and silently stared at his trumpet for a few seconds.

  The shielded “Justice” Audrey and “Inverted Man” Alger once again felt Mr. Fool’s inscrutability, they were both a little curious about the answer, but felt that it was of little use to them, not worth using Sequence 7. They were both curious about the answer, but felt that it was of little use to them, and not worth exchanging for something equivalent to the Sequence 7 potion formula.

  After the exchange was over, Klein deliberately made the “world” salute and hissed:

  ”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, thank you for your answer, it was very helpful.”

  ”It was an equal exchange, no thanks needed.” Klein held back the sudden goosebumps and replied in an indifferent tone.

  The free exchange that followed lasted less than ten minutes, and he declared that this Tarot meeting was over, then cut the connection with that one crimson star.

  When the figures of “Justice”, “Inverted Man” and “Sun” dissipated into streams of light, Klein looked across the “World” and smiled lightly. ” and let out a light laugh:

  ”With a trumpet, many things are indeed much more convenient.”

  ”It’s just that the All-Black Eye can’t be used outside of the Gray Mist, it’s a pity.”

  As he spoke, he maneuvered the “World” to rise and bow before letting it dissolve within the majestic palace.

  Because he had to be distracted by manipulating the trumpet, Klein’s spirituality was greatly depleted, so he didn’t continue to stay in this space, and after removing the “Eye of Total Blackness” and placing it on the surface of the bronze table, he immediately returned to the real world.

  At this moment, outside the closed curtains, there was a rare sunlight in the fall and winter in Bakerland.

  Klein didn’t bother to appreciate it and fell back to sleep for half an hour to recover some of his energy.

  After waking up, because of Ms. Justice’s promise, and because the matter was not urgent, he did not plan to go to the library to look for information, and decided to go to one of the many cemeteries in the suburbs of Beckland before nightfall.

  Crane was going to test the effects of the Aztec Copper Whistle and figure out the scope and limitations!

  Of course, the experiment would take place after dark, and the reason why he was going now was because hiring a carriage to go to the cemetery again in the evening would seem odd and very noticeable.
