Klein, the "Fool" behind the gray fog, was slightly taken aback by the "Hermit's" words: What exactly are the "Hermit's" channels? How can he obtain so much high-level intelligence?
Alger, the "Hanged Man," also exclaimed: "That's information about the Old Gods, the extraordinary history of the Second Age!"
Upon hearing the Hermit's question, "Justice" Audrey immediately replied, "Alright, we can initiate another deal later."
The Hermit Odis nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Audrey then asked Alger, "Mr. Hanged Man, I've seen the title 'Pirate General' in the newspaper. Can you tell me about those pirate generals?"
Newspapers only occasionally featured information about the sea, and Audrey only knew about the "pirate generals," but didn't know who they were.
"No problem," Alger said. "There were originally seven pirate generals, and 'Hurricane Admiral' Zilingus, whom we talked about before, was one of them."
Audrey smiled slightly upon hearing this. From beginning to end, she believed that Zilingus was killed by one of Mr. Fool's followers, and that she had also played a part in it.
"The Magician" Fors had read the reports about Zillingus, but he didn't know the real cause of death of the "Hurricane General." When "The Hanged Man" said it, he didn't take it too seriously.
Alger continued, "In addition, there are 'Star Admiral' Cattleya and 'Iceberg Vice Admiral' Edwina, two female 'Pirate Generals'. Relatively speaking, they are more restrained and have not done any heinous crimes."
"In contrast, 'Blood Admiral' Señor and 'Hell Admiral' Ludwell are either cruel and bloodthirsty or commit all sorts of evil deeds, and are recognized as the two most vicious 'pirate generals' on the high seas."
"'Deep Sea Admiral' Hal Constantine mainly operates in the Misty Sea, while 'Twilight Admiral' Tove Ivan mainly operates in the Sunia Sea. We rarely come into contact with the pirate crews of these two."
"Including the already deceased 'Hurricane Admiral,' that makes seven pirate generals."
He paused and then said, "Not long ago, 'Sick Girl' Tracy took over Zilingus's fleet. I think she will become a 'Pirate General' in the near future."
Fors exclaimed: I never imagined that there was a woman among the "Pirate Generals". This is the most comprehensive introduction I have ever heard about the "Pirate Generals".
Audrey smiled and said, "News from the sea is always fascinating."
Then she looked at the taciturn "World" at the lower end of the bronze table: "Mr. World, please tell me some knowledge of the occult."
Klein manipulates "The World" to ask, "Which side do you want to hear about?"
"Anything is fine," Audrey said, "as long as it's something I don't know."
Klein thought for a moment before letting "The World" say, "I heard that Amon has an older brother named Adam."
"Adam is a high-sequence extraordinary being of the 'spectator' pathway, possessing the same bizarre abilities as Amon!"
"It is said that they were all descendants of the ancient sun god and were great nobles of the Tudor family during the Fourth Age."
It only makes people recall that when the "Hermit" announced the five great nobles of the Tudor family, there were indeed two of them, Adam and Amon. They never expected that they were brothers!
Alger exclaimed: This is extremely high-level intelligence!
At the same time, he realized that the current way of trading was a win-win situation. "Justice" not only completed the deal with "The Hermit" and obtained the information she wanted, but also obtained some information that she was interested in from other members through this method.
The other members also gained a lot of knowledge and information during this exchange.
"The Sun" Derrick then asked, "Mr. World, is Amon's brother also in the 'Forsaken Land'?"
Klein shook his head: "I don't know."
Derrick nodded, somewhat disappointed.
Then Fors said to "Justice": "After this gathering, I will offer the first chapter of 'Spiritual Encounters' to Mr. Fool."
"However, you must be careful when you are watching. If you feel dizzy or have a headache, or if your emotions fluctuate too much, immediately use 'meditation' to maintain your state and continue watching after you have fully recovered."
Audrey nodded: "Okay."
She took a deep breath, feeling that the transaction had been perfect; she had only spent 1,000 pounds but had gained so much useful information and intelligence.
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Alger said to "The World": "I've contacted the person who sells 'Deepsea Janna's Hair,' 5 strands for 500 pounds, do you want it?"
Klein, manipulating "the world," asked: "Minimum trade of 5 units?"
He only needed three, and he remarked: even the auxiliary materials for Sequence 6 are so expensive now.
"As far as I know, he seems to only have 5 left, which is why he put them all together to sell," Alger said with a smile.
"World" nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take them all."
In Backlund, or rather on land, it's very difficult to trade for "Deepsea Janna's Hair".
The trading session of this tarot meeting has now concluded, and everyone began to share their interesting experiences from the previous week, entering a free discussion phase.
Alger first described how pirates are becoming increasingly rampant at sea due to the influence of the ironclad ships of the Kingdom of Rune, and then he said: "During this trip ashore, I also inadvertently saw a case report from Backlund."
"Last week, members of the 'Rose School' actually plotted to steal the seal artifacts of the official Extraordinary Ones, but were defeated by the combined forces of the 'Night Watchers' and the 'Mechanical Heart'."
"Gentlemen of Backlund, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Klein thought to himself, "Those lunatics from the 'Rose School' are capable of anything."
Neither Audrey nor Fors were aware of the relevant information. After the Night Watchers and the Mechanical Heart achieved their victory, they simply informed the Punishers as a matter of routine. Such a battle would certainly not be made public.
Fors commented, "It's hard to imagine that someone would dare to steal the seal of an official Extraordinary."
"Perhaps that sealed artifact is something they desperately need." Audrey joined the conversation: "Or perhaps that sealed artifact originally belonged to the 'Rose School'? Is this a revenge act by the 'Rose School'?"
Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "As far as I know, the indulgent faction of the 'Rose School' is quite crazy and sometimes does things that lack reason."
Alger said, "I've also heard that they've attacked official Extraordinary beings more than once in the Southern Continent, but this should be the first time they've launched such a crazy attack in Backlund."
At this moment, Odis spoke up: "Regarding this matter, I have obtained some information. The 'Night Watchers' seem to have mastered a sealed artifact that is of great use to the 'Rose School'."
"And the Night Watchers knew this too, so they set a trap in Backlund. I heard that the Rose School's attempt to seize the sealed artifact failed and they suffered some losses."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
He certainly wouldn't say it too explicitly, because that would easily lead other members to conclude that he was an informant for the official Extraordinary Ones.
Klein thought to himself: This is exactly the kind of thing an official Extraordinary would do.
Then he thought to himself, "The 'Hermit' has a wide network of channels; he can get information about some of the official extraordinary individuals."
Alger had a similar thought, because he didn't know the specifics of the incident, only that it happened.
Fors thought to himself: I didn't expect that something like this would happen in Backlund that I was completely unaware of. Well, that makes sense, after all, it's a huge city, and I'm just an ordinary writer.
Thinking of this, she gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Audrey then asked, "What kind of organization is the 'Rose School'?"
"An evil organization!" Alger said first. "I've heard that 'Blood General' Señor was once a member of this organization."
"Their most prominent characteristic is indulging their desires, such as the urge to kill, sexual desire, appetite, and so on."
"Moreover, their ideas and actions were extremely crazy, causing many tragedies in the Raging Sea and the Southern Continent."
"Yes, what I think about most is that a few years ago, they imprisoned all the people in a medium-sized city, and then killed them all on the night of the full moon as a sacrifice to their gods."
Audrey frowned. "Didn't they receive the punishment they deserved?"
"In the Southern Continent, whoever is strong enough is the ruler," Alger explained simply.
Audrey commented, "What an evil organization."
Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "'The Rose School' originated in the Star Plateau and was once the ruler of the Highland Kingdom."
"Later, a split occurred within the organization, with the indulgent and the temperate factions. What Mr. 'The Hanged Man' just described is the style of the indulgent faction. The temperate faction, on the contrary, advocated maintaining moderation and resisting the pain brought about by extraordinary characteristics."
Alger said, "I've also heard that there are temperance members in the 'Rose School,' but I've never met any of them."
"No wonder there's a split," Audrey said. "They're completely opposite styles."
Within the same organization, one group of people sounds extremely evil, while another group sounds less evil.
Odis added, "I've heard that the great difference between the two factions of the 'Rose School' is related to the gods they worship."
Everyone was stunned; even Klein and Alger were unaware of this.
Klein thought to himself: I didn't hear the bodyguard mention that she had a god. But that's a private matter, so it's normal not to know.
Alger frowned: Could it be that there are two gods in one organization... or rather, two angels? If the 'Rose School' had two gods, they would have been the rulers of the Southern Continent long ago.
Audrey remarked, "What a strange organization."
The discussion on that topic ended there. "The Sun" Derrick started talking about some trivial things that happened in Silver City, and everyone's attention was drawn to the "Wonderland".
After discussing for a while longer, Klein announced the end of the tarot session.
