"Okay, thank you, Mr. World," Justice Audrey said sincerely, her voice tinged with joy.
Although Susie didn't seem eager to advance, likely because she was just a dog, as Susie's owner and companion, Justice Audrey naturally hoped Susie wouldn't fall too far behind her.
Though I'm only Sequence 6... Justice Audrey suddenly thought of Susie's potion digestion progress, which didn't seem much slower than hers, and she felt a subtle sense of "I'm only a little stronger than a dog."
No, Audrey, you can't think that way. Susie isn't an ordinary dog; her intelligence is already no lower than a normal person's... Justice Audrey comforted herself inwardly, simultaneously resolving to obtain the subsequent potion formula and Materials from the Psychology Alchemists quickly, striving to advance immediately upon finishing her current potion.
This Young Miss Justice is only Sequence 7?
Cattleya, who witnessed this transaction, speculated in her heart.
Having successfully sold the Psychologist's characteristic and with her wallet a bit thicker, Mr. Fool, in a good mood, immediately manipulated "World" to inquire: "Everyone, I still need the eyes of a Six-Winged Gargoyle and the powder of an Ancient Wraith. Does anyone have any leads?"
The old members of the Tarot Club exchanged glances, evidently still without any leads. However, Cattleya, after a moment of consideration, spoke up: "I do. How much do you need?"
If it were her first time participating in another Beyonder gathering, Cattleya would never speak rashly. But this was, after all, a gathering hosted by the deity the Queen would eventually pledge allegiance to, and a Angel of Judgment was also present. Furthermore, Cattleya had just made a mistake, so she naturally wanted to actively perform to make amends.
"I need a pair of Six-Winged Gargoyle eyes, and only a small bottle of Ancient Wraith powder will do," Klein was instantly somewhat surprised, but on the surface, he calmly manipulated "World" to reply.
"1000 pounds," Cattleya quoted. This wasn't a particularly cheap price, but it wasn't expensive either; it could be considered fair.
So expensive! These are just supplementary Materials... Klein felt a pang in his heart. His only consolation now was that he at least had the Marionettist's characteristic, so he didn't need to spend money on the most crucial material.
Otherwise, with the money he had, it might not be enough.
However, despite the heartache, Klein, knowing that Cattleya wasn't overcharging, still manipulated "World" to nod and say, "Accepted."
After this transaction was completed, Little Sun Derrick, seeing that no one else seemed to have any intention of speaking, began to inquire: "I need the characteristic of a Notary, or the root crystal of an Elder Tree..."
He listed almost half of the Materials needed for a Notary. This was unavoidable because these Materials were not found around City of Silver.
"I have the characteristic of a Notary, but what can you offer?" Cattleya spoke again, simultaneously forming a judgment about this Mr. Sun's Sequence—a Solar High Priest of the Sun pathway, Sequence 7.
But he really looks like a Chariot... Cattleya muttered inwardly.
"I can exchange knowledge of City of Silver's history, the history of dark creatures like Dragons and Elves, and legends of ancient gods," Derrick said candidly and sincerely. "Also, Hermit, here is a list of common monsters in the areas surrounding City of Silver. You can also choose the Materials you need from it."
Ah, there he is again, the little sun who actively lets himself be plucked... Lin Ruo watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle. Then he saw Cattleya's bewildered expression, clearly not quite understanding what Little Sun was saying.
Then Lin Ruo witnessed how Little Sun's monster list was obtained for free this time, and how Cattleya's expression went from shock to thoughtfulness after seeing the list, finally choosing to exchange it for knowledge like City of Silver's history from Little Sun.
Lin Ruo knew that once Cattleya saw the information provided by Little Sun, she would likely realize that the other party was from the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and then automatically add a "+1" to Mr. Fool's perceived prestige.
The Tarot Club's trading session was also largely concluding at this point. Following that, the Tarot Club entered its final free exchange segment.
Lin Ruo looked around at the Tarot Club members, his gaze lingering on Hanged Man Alger and Hermit Cattleya, before he spoke: "Recently, unless there's an absolutely unavoidable reason, do not go to Oravi Island."
At these words, all the Tarot Club members, except for Mr. Fool who was already aware, were startled. Justice Audrey, who was always very proactive, immediately asked: "Chariot, what happened on Oravi Island?"
"I'm not particularly clear on the specifics, I only know that it seems the evil god Mother Tree of Desire has colluded with some equally evil existences, attempting to orchestrate some conspiracy on Oravi Island. Even the Governor's Mansion of Oravi Island has already fallen."
Lin Ruo explained unhurriedly. Although he didn't think Tarot Club members would go to Oravi Island without reason, it was still necessary to remind them.
This was to prevent unnecessary accidents.
"Oh my God!" Justice Audrey covered her mouth, but still couldn't help but gasp softly. After all, the matter sounded too terrifying.
The others' reactions were largely similar to hers. Cattleya, while surprised, thought of the sudden change in their agreed meeting location.
So, was it because of this?
"Don't worry, the Church of the Lord of Storms and the Loen Military already know about this matter, and they will take action very soon. However, until the matter is resolved, it's best if you don't go to Oravi Island," Lin Ruo continued. "That would bring you unnecessary danger."
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Chariot," Justice Audrey said, relieved to hear that the official authorities were already aware and handling the matter.
Although she had no plans to go to sea recently, she would naturally still express her gratitude.
The Church already knows? But how did Chariot know? What is his relationship with the Church...? Hanged Man Alger instinctively began to ponder, but didn't forget to say, "I will be careful, thank you for the reminder."
The others also offered their thanks at this time. Then Moon Emlyn inquired whether Vampires also needed to act, and received thoughtful assistance from Lin Ruo.
Justice Audrey then shared that the first two rounds of the extraordinary civil servant examination had concluded, and the final interview was about to take place.
It was clear that Justice Audrey was quite proud when she spoke of this, like a child announcing good grades to a parent. This was not surprising, as the extraordinary civil servant examination was indeed something Justice Audrey had personally championed.
Hmm, I actually already know this, after all, Benson is also one of the candidates this year... Mr. Fool recalled his elder brother, Benson, who had successfully passed both rounds of the examination—Benson was preparing on two fronts, both taking the civil servant exam and pursuing a lawyer's qualification, which wasn't conflicting and could even complement each other—his mood instantly improved, and he nodded gently:
"Not bad."
Justice Audrey immediately felt that her efforts over the past six months had been worth it.
Cattleya's eyebrow twitched fiercely.
She felt she already understood the role of this noble Young Miss Justice in the Tarot Club; she might just be a chess piece Mr. Fool used to interfere with the upper echelons of the Loen Kingdom.
And The Sun comes from City of Silver... Indeed, no one who can enter the Tarot Club is simple; Sequence alone cannot explain the issue.
I wonder what's behind Magician too... Cattleya pondered, evidently having self-taught the skill of overthinking to Perfection.
And with that, this Tarot Club meeting came to a successful end.
