Chapter 392 The Moon is in Place
Klein wrote with lightning speed, completing all of Russell's diaries in a very short time.
Klein rubbed his slightly sore wrists and chuckled to himself that he hadn't written Chinese characters in a long time. This amount of writing would have been nothing in his previous life, but now it made his wrists ache.
"No, I could actually use the power of the gray mist to directly materialize my thoughts onto paper, couldn't I?"
As Klein put the cap back on his pen, he realized that he didn't actually need to write in a diary like this; he could have done it all through a ritual.
Klein paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead. He then took out an envelope from his desk, put his diary inside, and pretended not to realize the foolish thing he had just done.
After Klein finished doing all this, he glanced at the luxurious clock hanging in the cabin and realized that there were less than 10 minutes left before the Tarot meeting began. He also needed to remind Derrick, the "Sun" who had no concept of time, to find a quiet place in advance.
So Klein hurriedly set up a ritual, offering the letter he had just sealed onto the gray fog, intending to use the fog to erase his personal traces.
He then took four steps backward and entered the seemingly timeless gray mist palace, notifying "The Sun" Derrick in advance. He then counted down the time and pulled up the members of the Tarot Club.
Just like the last tarot gathering, Klein felt his spirituality bursting forth like a dam breaking.
Fortunately, having learned from his previous two experiences, Klein was now very calm.
However, despite his composure, he still had to maintain the proper pace of the conversation. Twenty minutes was the limit he could currently sustain, and this situation would not change until he advanced to become a 'Master of Puppets'.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!"
As always, Miss Justice Audrey led the other members in bowing to greet Mr. Fool, a gesture that was still very ceremonial!
Just as everyone was bowing to Mr. Fool, almost everyone noticed that a new member had appeared at the Tarot meeting.
The new member sat to the right of "The Sun" Derrick, dressed in brown clothing that resembled a priest's robe, with an arrogant demeanor and a pair of rather rare red eyes.
Since it was my first time attending a tarot meeting, I was unfamiliar with the custom of bowing to Mr. Fool during the meeting, so I seemed a bit flustered.
"This is Mr. 'Moon'."
With a gesture of pressing down with his right hand to signal everyone to sit down, Klein began by introducing the new members.
"justice!"
"The Hanged Man!"
"strength!"
"Trial!"
"world!"
Everyone introduced their code names in the order they joined the group.
Emlyn White, nicknamed "The Moon," nodded and greeted each of the other members in turn!
After everyone exchanged their code names, Klein signaled that the Tarot meeting would officially begin. As always, Audrey took the lead and submitted a few pages of the Russell diary she had just collected.
Klein glanced at the diaries in his hand and found that they mentioned some information about Mr. Men, but the content overlapped with the diaries that Evan had submitted before.
Besides that, the most valuable information is the true name of the Primordial Witch.
This gave Klein some gossip about a deity—the Primordial Witch was indeed a man!
This gossip also explains why the witches in the witch cult were originally men, and why becoming a witch is the most orthodox way to play the role of a witch.
What's the point? It just perpetuates suffering from generation to generation!
Klein sighed silently to himself, then scattered the diary in his hand.
Because Audrey still owed Mr. Fool a few pages of Russell's diary, Klein didn't ask her what she wanted, but instead signaled for the conversation to begin.
First, "The Sun" Derrick spoke to Audrey:
"I've inquired, and Silver City indeed doesn't have the potion recipe for 'Hypnotists,' so could you perhaps change your trade request?"
Audrey was somewhat disappointed with the result, but she didn't show it. Instead, she thought for a moment and then said:
"Could you tell me a detailed story about the history of Silver City?"
This was too easy for Derrick, and he also hoped that by introducing the City of Silver, the members of the Tarot Club could gain a deeper understanding of his situation and be able to provide him with better advice in the future.
Just as Derrick was about to ask Mr. Fool for some private time, the World, sitting on the other side of the bronze table, suddenly spoke up:
"Um, I have some urgent matters to attend to later. Could you communicate in writing to save some time?"
Generally speaking, people acquire far more information from reading text than from verbal communication, not to mention that forming text on fog is driven by more convenient consciousness.
Everyone looked at Mr. Fool upon hearing this, since Mr. World's words were somewhat suspicious.
Because controlling the meeting agenda is usually the power of the person in charge.
Mr. Fool, however, seemed oblivious to anything amiss, and simply raised his hand to conjure a blank sheet of paper and a quill pen, a rare sight for anyone else, in front of Derrick the Sun.
"It seems Mr. Fool understands what Mr. World is anxiously doing, and perhaps what Mr. World is doing now is exactly what Mr. Fool instructed him to do, after all, Mr. World is Mr. Fool's benefactor!"
Almost everyone had this thought in their minds, but only Evan guessed the reason why Klein was putting on this act.
"I forgot about that. It seems that my promotion has put a lot of pressure on Klein!"
But this is good, as it gives him enough of a sense of urgency to get promoted.
Otherwise, with Dunn Smith still alive, I would really be worried that he's become complacent.
Evan remained both wary and hopeful about Klein's ascension to demigodhood.
Because the unlocking content of "Lord of Mysteries" in his mind reached the moment when Klein advanced to become a "Trickster" and reached the end of the gray fog staircase.
Evan is now absolutely certain that he read the entire "Lord of Mysteries" in his previous life, but the deciphering of the secrets was interrupted at the point where the initial secrets of the gray fog were first revealed.
This inevitably led Evan to speculate that the secret at the end of the gray fog staircase was related to his and Klein's journey, and he became very interested.
Seeing that Mr. Fool did not reject Mr. World's proposal, Derrick quickly picked up his pen and, driven by his consciousness, meticulously wrote down what he had learned from his general education class.
While "The Sun" Derrick was writing furiously, the others wisely continued with the trade to save time.
"I'm sticking to the same request I made at the last gathering: the 'Ocean Singer' formula, £5000!"
Alger, the "Hanged Man," continued to make the same request he made last time.
However, no one present responded, and Alger was not disappointed.
To reiterate, Sequence 5 can be said to have transcended the mundane in some respects.
Although Mr. Fool is a high-ranking convener of the Tarot Club, it is difficult for such a high-level transaction to occur all at once, given that most people's ranks are not very high.
The previous trade of the Blasphemy card cannot be considered a regular occurrence.
In addition, he hadn't been a "Wind Chosen One" for very long, so Alger wasn't in a hurry at all.
Evan had no intention of asking for anything, and simply raised his hand to signal to skip him, letting "The Magician" Fors continue.
Fors had already received a gift from his teacher, Dorian, and knew the potion recipe for the next sequence, "Recorder".
So he directly stated what he wanted to buy.
"I need cursed objects from ancient vengeful spirits and related dust."
I can offer 2000 gold coins for the former and 300 gold coins for the latter.
"Miss Fors is about to be promoted to Sequence 6! Wow, that's fast!"
"This is extraordinary material of Sequence 6. Is Miss 'Magician' about to be promoted? Wow, so fast!"
"Justice" Audrey and "The Hanged Man" Alger had similar thoughts in their minds, after all, the scenes of Fors' previous attempts to purchase Sequence 7 materials were still fresh in their minds.
However, compared to Audrey's joy for her friend, Alger felt more heartache.
He recalled the difficulty of his previous promotion. Although Fors's sequence level was still lower than his, his promotion speed was obviously much faster.
This made Alger, who had just relaxed a bit after being promoted to "Wind Favorite", feel a sense of urgency again.
Emlyn White, the "Moon," who was attending a tarot session for the first time, wondered if he had wandered onto the wrong set.
Because the current situation is different from what he had expected.
He was prompted by the Marquis of Nibais and guided by his ancestors to voluntarily recite the name of the Fool and apply to join the Tarot Society.
Before this, he had always thought that he would join a secret savior gathering, which must have many demigods, and even the possibility of angels. He thought that his Sequence 6 status might be due to Mr. Fool's permission to participate out of respect for his ancestors.
Judging from the related transactions alone, apart from the 'power' and 'world' that I can't fathom, it seems that most people are not as strong as I am.
This discovery left Emlyn White somewhat bewildered.
Because "Moon" looked around without any attempt to conceal his presence, those who had been silently observing him simultaneously formed an opinion of him as "unreliable" and "naive."
"Mr. 'Moon' is like a naive child, showing absolutely no experience befitting his appearance."
After everyone expressed their willingness to help Fors keep an eye out for relevant materials.
"Judgment" Hugh withdrew his gaze from secretly observing Mr. "Moon," and after thinking for a moment, said:
"I'm seeking the Arbitrator pathway Sequence 5 'Punishment Knight' potion recipe for 5000 gold pounds!"
Two days ago, Hugh finally managed to completely digest the "Interrogator" potion through interrogating the Fursac Empire's spies.
Then, under Fors's care, she took the potion that Evan had exchanged for her from MI9 and successfully advanced to the Rank 6 'Judge'.
Because once someone reaches the "Punishment Knight" stage, the royal family may re-examine the applicants for promotion.
Given Hugh's status as Mason Deer's daughter, it's difficult for her not to face difficulties from the Augustus family.
Furthermore, most of the extraordinary individuals in MI9 are obtained through the "arbitrator" route, making the extraordinary materials extremely scarce. Even with Evan's help, it's difficult to get ahead at this level.
Therefore, considering the future, Hugh decided to purchase the relevant formulas and materials at the Tarot Club.
Regarding Hugh's offer to buy the car, regardless of others, Alger was the first to become somewhat impatient.
The fact that Hugh's "Knight of Punishment" and his "Ocean Singer" are from the same series indicates that the seemingly youngest female Tarot player is actually at the same level as him.
That was fine, but what shocked Alger the most was that the route Hugh was on was also controlled by official forces.
I had worked diligently and conscientiously within the Storm Church system for so many years, but my luck only turned around after joining the Tarot Society.
But what gives this young "judgment" lady the right to do things?
Could it be that Miss 'Judgment' is also a second-generation royal?
Because of Evan, Alger easily started thinking in this direction. And the more he thought about it, the more certain he became.
After all, this also explains why "power" and "judgment" can be recognized in reality.
Just then, Alger glanced at the three ladies opposite him and a bold idea popped into his mind.
"Could it be that 'Justice,' 'Magician,' and 'Judgment' are all members of the royal family or people closely related to the royal family?"
Did Mr. Fool choose them to use them to internally divide the Augustus family?
Alger broke out in a cold sweat, worried that he had uncovered Mr. Fool's scheme, and even more worried that discovering such secrets might displease Mr. Fool.
So even disregarding reverence for the gods, he stole glances at Mr. Fool, who remained seated.
This left Klein, who was sitting in the "Fool's" position, somewhat bewildered. He could only sit upright and maintain his usual inscrutable smile.
This scene, however, filled Alger with even more awe, and he lowered his head in silence.
Many members of the Tarot Club noticed the unusual appearance of the "Hanged Man," but they all felt somewhat puzzled, to the point that they lowered their voices when they spoke.
"I will help you find out the relevant information and give you an answer as soon as possible."
If I find the relevant recipe, you'll have to give me a reward of 500 gold pounds!
No one responded to Hugh's request to buy. Instead, Moon, who was attending the Tarot Club for the first time, put aside any unnecessary thoughts and actively participated in Hugh's request, and even seriously laid out the fee she was asking for.
Emlyn White was unaware that his words only confirmed the assessment of him as "naive and inexperienced" among the members.
At the same time, everyone is also extremely curious about the power that can be mobilized behind the 'Moon', after all, it is the 'Arbitrator' formula that is strictly controlled!
