Chapter 105 A Tarot Club Full of Talent
At the head of the long, weathered table, "The Fool" Klein suddenly leaned forward slightly, his voice calm and collected as he asked:
"What price are you willing to pay for this?"
Cyril paused for a moment, then replied:
"I can provide you with some information about the Abrahamic family, some about the secret order, some about Emperor Roselle, and even some about the Twilight Hermits."
"In addition, I also possess the complete potion recipes from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 of the 'Occupy the Next House' pathway, as well as partial potion recipes for the 'Singer', 'Spectator', 'Apprentice', 'Assassin', and 'Hunter' pathways."
As he spoke, Cyril inwardly curled his lips. He knew that Klein would eventually refuse the question, so he deliberately selected some rewards that would tempt the other party, just waiting for him to reluctantly refuse.
Klein: (°一°)
I really want to agree to this deal, but I honestly don't know where Antigonus is or what his situation is...
However, with the complete "Occupy the Next House" potion recipe, is this guy really a descendant of the Antigonus family?
But why did he choose the incomplete "apprentice" path? What's the deeper meaning behind it, or does he plan to switch back when he reaches a higher sequence?
There is also some information about Emperor Roselle; he likely possesses one or more pages of a key diary entry.
What kind of organization is the Twilight Hermits? To be grouped with the Secret Order and Emperor Roselle, it is most likely a large and mysterious secret organization.
No, I should be thinking about how to refuse him, not about the reward he offered... It's all because the conditions he offered were too tempting.
Gathering his scattered thoughts, Klein leaned back in his chair and said leisurely:
"I don't need this information or potion recipes for now. We can make a deal when you obtain more esoteric information."
"I have a feeling that this day is not far off."
"Okay, I understand." Xireen nodded slightly, looked away with a hint of disappointment, and then leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
He was provoked by Klein's last words, and now he was a little worried that a casual remark from the "Beacon of Destiny" could make the future come true.
...Although he can't be called a "beacon of destiny" yet, this is a place that extends from the "source castle," so who knows if it might actually play a role in symbolizing destiny.
With that in mind, he didn't pay much attention to the subsequent transaction details.
But he couldn't lose focus for long before he was called out by the "world" manipulated by Klein:
"Mr. 'Fate,' do you know any information about the Twilight Hermits' Society, and what price must be paid?"
Klein couldn't help but sigh... Having a secondary account is really useful. In the future, if there's anything that "The Fool" can't say or do, the secondary account "World" can do it for him.
Cyril glanced at the gloomy "world" and then shook his head: "No."
"It's not that I don't want to trade, but knowing this information won't benefit you at all."
"You'd better forget about this organization's name immediately after leaving Mr. 'Fool's' kingdom. Don't think about it, don't mention it, in any way possible. This will make him aware of your existence."
Klein: ...
Why didn't you tell me this important information sooner? I wouldn't have let you utter the name "Twilight Hermits" back then.
As he was thinking, Klein suddenly paused. He recalled the few pages of Russell's diary he had just read, which mentioned an organization that promoted apocalyptic ideas and believed in the original creator.
Could it be because of this that Emperor Roselle never mentioned the organization's name in his diary?
The Twilight Hidden Earth Society...Twilight...Hidden Earth...This is very similar to some of the concepts and behaviors of that organization. Could it be the same organization?
The dangers of the mysterious world are truly everywhere!
After sighing, he once again manipulated the "world" to ask aloud:
"Is it the organization that believes in the original Creator, proclaims that when the end of everything arrives, the original Creator will rise from the dead, awaken from slumber, return everything to itself, create a new world, a new history, and constantly interfere with the course of history for this purpose?"
Cyril glanced at the mannequin "world" with a "dissent" look, then nodded: "Yes."
"However, they do not worship the original creator, but an ancient sun god who claims to be the creator. Some of their descriptions are very similar, and people who are not familiar with them may easily confuse them."
...An ancient sun god? Who is that? How many unknown and mysterious beings are still hidden in this world?
After his reflection, Klein abandoned his plan to manipulate the "world" to ask more questions. He feared that if he continued to ask, he might inadvertently recall the events after leaving the gray fog, thus attracting attention.
After a brief silence, "Justice" Audrey looked at Cyril and raised her hand:
"Mr. Fate, do you have the recipe for the 'Psychotherapist' potion? How many gold pounds would it cost?"
Sirion shook his head slightly: "I only know about the main ingredients, which may not meet your needs."
Audrey's expression showed slight disappointment, but she quickly recovered and spoke up positively:
"That's alright, even part of it will do. I still have some time before I can fully digest the 'Mind Reader' potion, which gives me plenty of time to find the materials and the remaining potion recipe."
"Hmm... a Sequence 7 potion recipe costs between 700 and 800 pounds. How about 400 pounds for just the main ingredients?"
"No problem." Sirion immediately agreed. To him, it was no different from finding money on the street, and he didn't care how much he sold it for.
...If it weren't for the wealthy and generous "Miss Justice," this incomplete low-to-mid-sequence formula would likely not have sold.
After clearing his mind for a moment, he requested a private conversation with "The Fool" and told "Justice" Audrey the main materials from "The Psychologist".
"The eyes of the Mirror Dragon are a pair, and the fruit of the Elder Tree is a fruit."
"I can try to get the rest, but I'm not sure I'll be able to."
Audrey nodded gently: "Okay, I look forward to your progress."
The one-on-one conversation ended quickly, and the transaction process continued.
"The Hanged Man," Alger, looked around and then spoke:
"I wish to obtain the potion recipe for 'Windbringer,' which is Sequence 6 of the 'Sailor' pathway and is relatively valuable. If you have any relevant clues, you can exchange them for a reward, provided the clues are valid."
Compared to Miss Justice and Mr. Sun's curiosity and doubt, Sirion's eyes lit up. He had finally gotten the chance to use the extraordinary characteristics left behind by "Hurricane Admiral" Zilingus.
He glanced around to make sure no one would join the conversation, then braced himself against the edge of the table, leaning back in his chair, and chuckled softly.
"I don't have the potion recipe for 'Wind-Centered One,' but I do have the extraordinary properties of 'Wind-Centered One.' Do you need them?"
"Really? How much? Or what do you need in exchange?" Alger the Hanged Man immediately pressed.
Cyril calmly replied, "This extraordinary trait of the 'Wind Favorite' comes from the legacy of 'Hurricane Admiral' Zilingus. Because his identity was somewhat sensitive, and I had no opportunity to leave Backlund, I kept it."
"As for the exchange conditions, 4000 pounds, or the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Recorder', or the corresponding main ingredient of a potion."
After a moment of silence, Alger, the "Hanged Man," spoke in a deep voice:
"I need to think about that. Also, why would Zilingus's extraordinary characteristics be with you?"
Cyril curled the corners of his lips and chuckled softly:
"Of course, I was right there when 'Hurricane General' was killed by that 'Death Archon' man. As a member of the same organization, it's only natural for me to casually collect my comrade's extraordinary traits, isn't it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Alger, the "Hanged Man," suddenly stiffen, and Miss Justice, Mr. Sun, and even Klein, the "Fool," all turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
The commission concerning Zilingus was originally issued by Mr. "The Hanged Man," and Zilingus was ultimately killed by Mr. "The Fool's" followers. This can be said to be full of traces of the Tarot Society.
And now, a member of the Tarot Club who belongs to the same organization as Zilingus has appeared!
Seeing everyone's reactions, Cyril suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that his own perverse sense of humor had been fulfilled.
...No wonder Arrodes enjoyed playing quiz games so much; they were indeed very interesting.
"The Fool" Klein looked at the people on both sides of the mottled long table and suddenly fell into worry:
...The Tarot community these days is truly full of talented people, including members of the Church of the True God, secret organizations, the land of the forsaken, and even upper-class nobles.
As the number of people increases, some contradictions in positions will inevitably arise in the future, which is a problem that must be addressed.
