Seeing that everyone was looking at him, "Star" Leonard added a little awkwardly: "What I mean is, there are no restrictions on the type, as long as it's more inclined towards the attack field, easier to hide, and has fewer negative effects, I'm fine with it."
He was preparing for his subsequent advancement to "Spirit Warlock." Currently, as a "Soul Assurer," although he had the powerful control ability to pull his target into a dream, Leonard also had to fall asleep along with them.
At this time, he could hand over the mystical item to Pallez Zoroast for use. Once he became a "Spirit Warlock," there would be no need for such trouble. He could control the enemy while handing the mystical item to the natural spirit or wraith sealed on his teeth for use.
"Hanged Man" Alger was the first to ask: "What level are you looking for?"
"Something relatively strong among Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts, uh, corresponding to Sequence 6 or Sequence 5," Leonard first described it in the tone of an official Beyonder, then switched to a more common expression.
At that moment, the other members noticed his description. Even "Moon" Emlyn, who was slow to react, realized: Mr. Star is an official Beyonder, at least he used to be!
Generally, in the Tarot Gathering or other Beyonder gatherings, such mystical item transactions would only explain the ability of the mystical item and indicate which Sequence it corresponded to, and rarely would there be a description of Grade level sealed artifacts.
Alger gave an "Um" and said, "A Sequence 5 mystical item costs at least 9,000 pounds. If it meets your requirements, it will normally cost more than 12,000 pounds."
Leonard nodded: "I understand."
Hearing his answer, "The Fool" Klein almost covered his face: Isn't this revealing his trump card to the "Hanged Man"? I bet that if he has a suitable item, the price will definitely be above 12,000 pounds.
Just as the other members were about to say they would help Mr. Star keep an eye out, "Emperor" Hobert said: "I may have the mystical item you need here. Do you want a mystical item from the 'Warrior' pathway? Or do you want a mystical item from the 'Hunter' pathway?"
Hobert hadn't kept track of his Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts for a long time. When he heard Leonard's request, he counted them in his mind. He had more than 30 Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts.
A total of 16 items are currently being used by the three Beyonder teams, and these cannot be moved.
Angus's first team and Elliot's third team have stronger frontal combat capabilities, so the sealed artifacts equipped for them are mostly seized from the "Rose School," increasing spirituality.
Helen's second team members generally have higher spirituality, so the ones equipped for them are mostly from the Aurora Order or seized when hunting pirate admirals, leaning towards offensive sealed artifacts.
In addition, there are nearly 20 Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts in a state of idleness, not including those that Hobert had worn before, as well as the sealed artifacts collected from auctions.
It's not that Hobert is reluctant to take them out for use, but in terms of the current size of the three teams, these sealed artifacts are more than enough. If there are more, their care for the sealed artifacts will cause a lot of manpower consumption.
Normally, Hobert certainly had no intention of selling sealed artifacts, but the Tarot Gathering was an exception. He looked forward to the Tarot Gathering members becoming stronger and advancing faster.
The other members were stunned: The Emperor has two mystical items for sale?
"Magician" Fors was also a little strange: I remember collecting a mystical item from the "Hunter" pathway, how come I don't remember collecting a mystical item from the "Warrior" pathway?
Klein thought to himself: Hobert is so generous! Well, to be precise, the "Creator's" organization is very generous, actually selling Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts to outsiders.
He didn't know that the auction house in South Colson had auctioned off sealed artifacts of this level more than once.
Immediately afterwards, Klein thought of his own impoverished Sea God Church, and cried out in his heart: Can't compare, can't compare. But then again, after all, the "Creator's" subordinates dare to fight the "Rose School" head-on, while the Sea God Church doesn't even have a Sequence 5 at the moment.
The strong members of the church before had all died by Kalvetua's side.
Leonard didn't expect that his request would be responded to immediately: "Can you tell me their abilities separately?"
Hobert was silent for a second or two, not because he had forgotten, but because he hadn't paid much attention to this point at all.
When he obtained these two sealed artifacts, he had already advanced to a demigod. After sacrificing them to the "Nation of Disorder," he sealed them casually and threw them on the stone platform where Grade 2 Sealed Artifacts were placed.
Based on his general impression, Hobert said: "The mystical item from the 'Warrior' pathway is in the shape of a thick iron bracelet, corresponding to Sequence 6 'Dawn Paladin.' It can summon 'Dawn Light' and use 'Dawn Sword' and 'Dawn Armor.'"
"The mystical item from the 'Hunter' pathway is in the shape of a pendant, corresponding to Sequence 5 'Reaper.' It can use 'Fire Crow Art' and 'Wall of Fire,' and has the ability of 'Slaughter.' It seems to be able to use the ability of 'Weakness Strike (Cull)' as well."
Leonard immediately said: "How much are you planning to sell that pendant for?"
This mystical item perfectly met his needs. Even if it only had the "Slaughter" ability, it was worth buying!
Hobert pondered for a moment: "10,000 pounds!"
Leonard was slightly stunned: "Are its negative effects very serious?"
"Not serious, or rather, very easy to avoid."
"Please forgive me for being blunt," Leonard said, "This price sounds like a scam."
Hobert smiled and spread his hands: "This is a benefit of the Tarot Gathering."
In fact, he had originally planned to quote 3,000 pounds, after all, he had already achieved financial freedom, and gold pounds were just a string of numbers to him.
But that way, Leonard probably wouldn't dare to buy it, and it wouldn't be easy to price this level of goods when others sell them.
Hobert added: "Generally speaking, mystical items of this level have to sell for around 12,000, but I don't need money recently, so I gave you a discount."
"Justice" Audrey said in a timely manner: "Don't worry, with Mr. Fool's witness, there will be no deception in transactions that occur in the Tarot Gathering."
At most, the premium is a little higher.
Leonard first noticed that the "Emperor's" gesture of spreading his hands looked a bit familiar, and then he said: "I want that sealed artifact from the 'Hunter' pathway."
At this time, he realized another problem: "How should we trade?"
Audrey explained: "You can trade by offering sacrifices to Mr. Fool. The ritual of sacrifice is..."
She enthusiastically described the ritual of sacrifice again. Those who can be brought into the Tarot Gathering must have undergone many tests. The rituals of sacrifice and bestowal do not need to be kept secret.
Leonard was stunned for several seconds before saying: "Thank you!"
He thought to himself: What a luxury! Trading by way of sacrifice, this Tarot Club is really different.
Before this, in Leonard's concept, mentioning "sacrifice" must be related to evil gods!
Then he slandered in his heart: The Tarot Gathering's sacrifice is also related to evil gods, but the nature is different.
After completing this transaction, Hobert suddenly said to "Hermit" Cattleya: "I hope to meet 'Queen Mystic.'"
Audrey looked at "Emperor": Hobert wants to meet "Queen Mystic"? I heard that queen is very charming!
Fors also looked at Hobert: What does he want to meet "Queen Mystic" for?
Cattleya scrutinized Hobert before saying: "Can you tell me why you want to see the Queen?"
Leonard sat up straight: "Hermit" really knows "Queen Mystic"! That's the leader of the "Element Dawn"! A very mysterious big figure in the Beyonder world!
Hobert did not hide anything: "An invitation to form an alliance."
Then he smiled and said: "'Queen Mystic' must be working very hard to fight the Moses Ascetic Order alone, right?"
Klein was also a little strange: Why does Hobert suddenly want to form an alliance with "Queen Mystic"? There wasn't even a hint of it before!
Alger guessed: Could it be that the "Creator" is going to take action at sea again, and this time he needs an ally?
Fors understood: This is the "Creator's" mission, a work-related contact.
Hobert's answer stunned Cattleya, but she quickly recovered: "I will help you convey it, but I can't guarantee whether the Queen will meet you."
"Okay," Hobert said, "What kind of reward do you need?"
"Listen in on the next intelligence transaction and be able to ask your own questions," Cattleya was not short of gold pounds either: "If you can facilitate your meeting, listen in twice."
Hobert smiled: "Deal!"
At this time, Leonard realized: Being able to propose an alliance with "Queen Mystic" and everyone is not surprised at all, is the "Emperor" also a member of a big organization? The members of the Tarot Gathering are not simple!
Just when everyone was guessing what kind of joint action the "Emperor" was going to have with "Queen Mystic," Hobert said to "Moon" Emlyn again: "Help me contact the high-level members of the Sanguine, and also convey my intention to form an alliance!"
Everyone looked at each other a little: Also form an alliance with the Sanguine?
Audrey simply asked: "Mr. Emperor, does the 'Creator' have any major actions recently?"
Leonard's posture, which had just relaxed a little, became straight again: "Creator"? The "Emperor" is a follower of the "Creator"? I wonder if he knows Hobert? Hiss, now that I think about it, his figure is a bit like Hobert!
Klein had already determined that the "Creator" would definitely have big moves next: Could it be that he is going to start a war with the "Rose School" again?
"Yes," Hobert gave a definite answer: "At that time, I will also ask Mr. World for help."
Klein was slightly stunned: Thinking about it this way, although I often experience Beyonder battles, I have never participated in a Beyonder war. I wonder what kind of experience that is?
Alger opened his mouth: Perhaps the "Creator's" actions are not necessarily at sea! I also want to participate, but I don't know if the "Emperor" will invite me?
In his impression, "World" is also a Sequence 5, there is no reason to invite "World" but not invite him.
Emlyn was slightly stunned before saying: "Okay, but I can't guarantee that they will definitely meet you."
Then he said: "As for the reward, exempt the 'help' promised at the last gathering. If it is successful, I will also get a chance to listen in on an intelligence transaction."
Hobert nodded: "Deal."
Leonard was a little strange, why did they all mention "intelligence transactions"?
At this point, the brief transaction session of the Tarot Gathering ended, and the free exchange session arrived.
Alger glanced at the lower end of the long bronze table and reminded, "The Storm Church has issued another mission to investigate Gehrman Sparrow."
The gazes on both sides of the long bronze table turned to 'The World'.
They more or less guessed that the mad adventurer Gehrman Sparrow must have done something big again.
Audrey, who had just given 'The World' psychological treatment a few days ago, believed that Mr. World's mental state was abnormal, which was likely related to what he had done.
The reactions of the other members instantly made Leonard realize a fact: everyone in the Tarot Club knew that 'The World' was Gehrman Sparrow, but none of them knew that Gehrman Sparrow was actually Klein Moretti.
'The World' asked in a hoarse voice, "What clues has the Storm Church grasped?"
Alger said, "The Church's investigation revealed that Gehrman Sparrow's identity is fake, and the source is in Backlund."
Klein manipulated 'The World': "Don't worry about this matter."
For him, to find out who was given Gehrman Sparrow's fake identity, the prerequisite was to capture 'Queen Mystic' Bernadette, or get Sharron's information from her, and then get corresponding information from the elusive 'Miss Bodyguard'. Even for a true god's church, this is a very difficult thing to accomplish.
Alger nodded and added, "I recently received information that Archbishop Ince Zangwill, who betrayed the Evernight Goddess Church, was killed. Before that, he had become a demigod.
"And the Sealed Artifact '0-08' that he stole is unknown in whose hands it fell. The only certainty is that the people who cleaned up the battlefield were from the Evernight Goddess Church."
Leonard sighed, "'The Hanged Man' has very good information! This event just happened a few days ago. The Church has only informed the Storm Church and the Church of Steam and Machinery of some information, and has not made this event public."
Then he belatedly realized: Could it be that 'The Hanged Man' is from the Storm Church?
Audrey and the others were hearing this news for the first time, but thinking of the information about '0-08' obtained from 'The Emperor' before, they were certain that this matter was quite significant.
At this time, 'The Fool' Klein suddenly reached out and knocked on the table.
He felt it was necessary to remind the members: In the next few years, the tide of the times will come!
In the dull knocking sound on the long bronze table, all the members straightened their backs, or straightened them even more.
Hobert thought: Attention! Mr. Fool is going to show off again!
Klein in the gray fog smiled and said, "The era is changing because of this.
"Adam is closer to Godhood!"
Hobert slowly nodded. For Klein, who only knew part of the information, being able to make this level of guess was already very impressive. His showing-off behavior could be completely ignored.
The other members all showed surprised expressions. Even Alger, who shared the news, did not expect that Mr. Fool would give such a high evaluation.
Leonard, who was also involved in the event, was also the same. He knew how terrifying Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts were, but he never thought that what happened that day would change the era.
After being surprised, Cattleya thought: Being able to make Mr. Fool sigh like this, it means that Adam is likely only one step away from Sequence 0, and may step out at any time.
Audrey recalled the information traded from Hobert before: At that time, Hobert said that Adam was seeking advancement to True God. Now that this matter has been confirmed by Mr. Fool, it seems that 'The Creator' and Mr. Fool already have a consensus on this. What is happening in the Southern Continent now is bringing this consensus closer to reality.
Fors and the others were also surprised that Adam was attacking Godhood, and at the same time they were imagining, given the current situation, what kind of changes would occur in the world pattern if there was one more True God?
Although Leonard didn't know Adam's identity, he could still understand the meaning of the phrase "closer to Godhood."
He immediately thought of the priest who was called "Mr. Adam" by Hobert after the battle ended and who took away "0-08"!
Amid everyone's guesses and surprises, 'The World' glanced at Leonard and simply reminded, "Adam is the child of the Ancient Sun God, and the brother of the 'Blasphemer' Amon."
Leonard was startled. Although he had no concept of Adam, he had heard Pallez Zoroast mention Amon a lot. The old man seemed to have an extremely serious psychological shadow about this being.
And Adam was actually Amon's brother, and his level of terror might be on the same level as the other!
'The World' continued, "'0-08' has fallen into Adam's hands. He has successfully made up for the shortcomings on the path to becoming a god."
Alger pondered 'The World's' words and tentatively asked, "You seem to have witnessed this matter?"
'The World' said lightly, "The one who killed Ince Zangwill was me and my companions."
Alger was not surprised, but said in his heart: As expected.
Audrey interpreted some certainty and some confidence from 'The World's' tone, and curiously asked, "Mr. World, have you become a demigod?"
'The World' did not give a direct answer, but said, "In the future, if there are any matters involving demigods, you can also entrust them to me."
The implication was that everyone present could understand.
This is the second demigod in the Tarot Club after 'The Emperor'!
Cattleya sighed silently. She recalled the first time she met Gehrman Sparrow, when he was only at Sequence 6.
Alger realized that 'The Creator's' actions would most likely not invite him to participate, because 'The Emperor' was obviously inviting demigods to participate. Or 'The Creator's' forces invited 'The Fool's' forces to participate, and he was neither a demigod nor completely belonged to Mr. Fool's forces.
At this time, Leonard suddenly said to 'The World', "Then, then his conversation with Adam..."
He originally wanted to say "Then Hobert", but fortunately he noticed it in time.
'The World' said, "You can ask 'The Emperor'."
So Leonard looked at 'The Emperor'. He really wanted to ask: Are you Hobert?
But in the end, he still endured it.
Hobert said, "'The Creator' did take this opportunity to complete a transaction with Adam. You should know the content of the transaction, but I'm sorry, I can't reveal the purpose of the transaction."
Everyone then realized that Mr. Star was also present at the time. Perhaps he was the companion that 'The World' had just mentioned? Gehrman Sparrow actually had companions who were official Beyonders?
At the same time, everyone also understood that 'The Creator's' subordinates were also present at the time.
However, this seemed to be very normal. After all, the Fool's Dear was involved in this event, and it was impossible for the "Creator", who had an alliance relationship, not to know.
It's just that 'The Emperor' did not explain the content of the transaction, and everyone had no way of guessing the purpose of 'The Creator'.
Klein did have some guesses. He remembered that Hobert mentioned at the time that 'The Creator' hoped to obtain the Uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway and a Sequence 1 characteristic.
This made him believe that 'The Creator' should be preparing to become a Great Old One.
This also explained from the side why 'The Creator' had so much information and literature about Roselle, because He and Roselle after transferring to 'Black Emperor' were adjacent pathways, and may have been opponents of Roselle more than a hundred years ago.
Learning more about the opponent seemed to be a very normal thing.
But the problem was that Klein remembered that in a previous transaction, Hobert said that the Loen royal family and the Feynapotter royal family both had a Sequence 1. How did 'The Creator' become the True God of the 'Justiciar' pathway?
While Klein was making corresponding guesses, Leonard hesitated several times. He felt that 'The Emperor' was likely to be Hobert, but he could not directly ask for confirmation in such a secret gathering.
At the same time, Alger guessed: The events that happened in West Balam should have even deeper secrets, otherwise Mr. Fool, 'The Creator', and Adam these three beings, could not pay attention to the life and death of a demigod! In addition, in this event, Adam obtained "0-08", and 'The Creator' completed a transaction with Adam. So what did Mr. Fool get in this event?
Immediately, Alger thought: Just now I noticed that Mr. Fool seemed to be more profound and deeper, with a feeling of condescendingly overlooking everything.
He slowly nodded, and realized: Mr. Fool further restored his power in this event.
'The Sun' Derrick saw that everyone was temporarily quiet, and then spoke, "Currently, the 'Six-Member Council' has completed the exploration of the tomb of the former Chief."
More than a month ago, the 'Six-Member Council' began to prepare to explore the tomb of the former Chief. Unexpectedly, there are finally results now.
Everyone looked at Derrick and listened curiously to the information he was sharing.
"I learned from a newly made friend that, according to your time, the exploration was completed last Tuesday." Derrick continued, "The area patrolled by that friend includes the tomb of the former Chief. That day, while patrolling, the current Chief and the other members of the 'Six-Member Council' were all in front of the tomb.
"The current Chief asked my friend's patrol team to clean up the plant that looked like human hair growing out of the cracks in the tomb's stones.
"Then the Chief told them to leave. They saw from afar the Chief and several Elders enter the tomb.
"It is said that those who touched the hair had the same dream at night, dreaming of a huge upside-down building, and a corpse covered in feathers.
"The next day when they patrolled, the tomb was resealed with new stones, and no new hair-like plants grew anymore, so I guess the exploration should have been completed last Tuesday.
"As for the results, they have not been announced to the public for the time being, and no dangerous things have happened in the entire City of Silver."
Everyone nodded, it seems that the problem of the former Chief has been solved?
Derrick then added, "But strangely, just two days ago, the Chief suddenly found me and described a strange sight in the tomb! And told me the results of this exploration."
