Chapter 633 - The Commission from Tower
After "World" reported to Miss Judgnt about the blonde man who had colluded with demons, he then requested a private conversation with Mr. Tower, feeling uneasy as he inquired about what was needed from the angel who had intervened...
Or rather, what Mr. Tower, who had used a favor to summon the angel, might want in return.
As for this, Ebner had already thought it through. He didn't plan to accept any rewards imdiately, considering that just a mont ago, Sequence 6 Klein only had a "Blasphemy Card" in hand, nothing that would truly tempt him.
"Should I just keep a note for now?" controlling "World," Klein both sighed in relief and felt a tangible weight on his shoulders.
After all, being in debt was unpleasant, and the favor of an "angel" was even harder to repay! Especially with soone like Mr. Tower, who seed to know everything, making it difficult to take advantage of the knowledge imbalance.
"I need to advance in sequences faster... Otherwise, if I can't keep up with Mr. Tower, forget about 'World,' even 'Fool' might lose so prestige!"
"Fortunately, I already have the 'Marionettist' trait, and finding a 'rmaid' shouldn't be too hard... At least, Sequence 5 shouldn't be an issue."
After motivating himself, Klein lifted the sensory barrier on the others and allowed the Tarot Club to proceed.
"The Hanged Man" Alger looked over to "World" once they finished their private conversation:
"Your 'Werewolf' extraordinary trait was sold. A craftsman bought it... But, as you warned, there might be a 'Rose School Curse' within it, so the price was pushed down again, and it was sold for 1,000 pounds..."
"According to our agreent, I will receive 180 pounds as my reward."
This division wasn't bad, but considering that "The Hanged Man" would also bear so risk, Klein thought for a mont before operating "World" to respond:
"No problem..."
Having just received so money from the "Machinery Hivemind," Klein wasn't concerned about these few hundred pounds.
After all, no amount of money could "buy" the favor of an angel's intervention.
Hearing this, "Justice" Audrey raised her hand and repeated her long-standing request:
"One pair of Mirror Dragon eyes, 50 milliliters of its blood, and the fruit of the Elder Tree..."
She didn't have much hope, since she had been trying to acquire these materials ever since she got the recipe from "The Sun." It had almost been two months by now.
But what she didn't expect was that "The Magician" Miss Fors directly responded:
"I asked my teacher about these materials a few days ago. His reply was that the family still has a 'Mirror Dragon's eyes,' but retrieving them will take so ti... It may take one to two weeks."
Since Fors beca an apprentice in the Abraham family, our "Tarot Club" has gained another new channel!
Add to that my backing from the "Psychological Alchemy Society," Miss Judgnt's ties to MI9, Mr. Sun's connections to the "Forsaken Land," and the potential support from the "True God Church" behind Mr. Tower and The Hanged Man...
Calculating all of this, the knowledge and material channels available to our "Tarot Club" could nearly cover half the extraordinary world!
Audrey, feeling a strong sense of ownership in her thoughts, responded on the surface: "I'm not in a hurry, as long as there's definite news... As for the price, that's not a problem."
"The price is not an issue..." Fors's eyes lit up as she thought to herself, slightly guilty.
After attending so many Tarot gatherings, she had learned a valuable lesson: as Emperor Roselle had said, money isn't omnipotent, but without money, nothing can be done...
Hmm... I can just tell the truth about the price increase, and with Miss Audrey's generosity, she'll surely allow it.
Of course, the most important thing is, I'm not sure I can hide this from a "Telepathist."
Seeing that the new "channel" from the Abraham family was already proving useful, Alger beca eager and asked: "Do you have any clues about the 'Ocean Songster' potion recipe?"
"The Magician" Fors shook her head and said, "I asked my teacher a few days ago... but I'm afraid he doesn't have it."
Just as Alger was feeling sowhat disappointed, "Justice" Audrey hesitated and spoke up:
"The 'Psychological Alchemy Society' should have it... But I only just joined, so it's impossible to get a recipe of that level in such a short ti... You understand, this isn't sothing money can solve."
At the Sequence 5 level, Beyonders could already be considered "strong," and even in the major True God Churches, they were pillars of the organization. Recipes at this level certainly wouldn't spread easily, and getting one would likely require completing a task assigned by the organization...
As these thoughts turned in her mind, Alger sighed and didn't press further, only asking Miss Justice to look into what it would cost to obtain the recipe.
Ebner, who had been listening to their conversation, thought to himself that the ladies "Greed" and "Sloth" might have a way to acquire the recipe.
However, he opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing ca out. After all, it wasn't appropriate to make any promises without their consent. Even if it might be a trivial task for them, it would still be a favor to him, one that would have to be repaid in the future... After all, he wasn't truly the "Countess's lover." Moreover, if Edwina can bring back the 'Key of the Northern King,' then exploring the 'Grosel's Travels' will definitely be on the agenda within a month or two... At that point, I could also go find that elf girl in the travelogue to exchange for the formula.
While Ebner was lost in thought, the trading session of the Tarot Club had already concluded and smoothly transitioned into the discussion phase.
"The Magician" Fors glanced around, then cautiously asked, "Ladies and gentlen, besides the thod of having children, do you have any solutions for the issue of too many extraordinary traits of the sa level accumulating?"
The "having children" thod was sothing Ebner had suggested to Fors on the first day she returned to Beckland last week when she asked for advice. This thod not only took a long ti but didn't guarantee success the first ti... For lower sequences, it was better to put more effort into "playing" to digest them. And that night, Fors had an absurd dream... She thought it was just the result of overthinking during the day, so she completely abandoned that idea.
"The Hanged Man" Alger turned to "The Magician" Fors and asked in return, "Did you have to drink the second 'Apprentice' potion?"
How did you guess that imdiately... It's as if you saw it in person... Fors cleared her throat uncomfortably and replied, "Yeah, let's just say that's the case..."
"Do you have any solutions? What would you like in exchange?"
"Justice" Audrey almost laughed out loud, as she also had a similar experience. When she asked about "pets accidentally consuming potions," she was imdiately figured out by "The Hanged Man" and "The Fool" as well... Looking back, she realized how naive she had been back then! Now, she could deceive even the Sequence Beyonders in the "Psychological Alchemy Society" without revealing any flaws... But why does Fors seem a little shy? With her personality, even if her secret was exposed, she wouldn't show such emotions. What's going on in her mind?
As "Justice" Audrey habitually played the role of the "Telepathist," "The Hanged Man" Alger shook his head and replied, "As far as I know... no! At least not for mid-to-low sequence Beyonders... Of course, using rituals to pray to deities for power is an exception. After all, if a deity were to bestow power, it's not impossible to quickly give birth and separate traits..."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at "The Fool" Klein.
What are you looking at? "The Fool" Klein doesn't have the ability to make people give birth quickly... Klein wanted to roll his eyes but restrained himself, tapping the edge of the long table with his finger. He casually added, "The 'Primordial Moon' can do it... but people who pray to it are highly likely to mutate into monsters that only know how to reproduce, along with their offspring."
This served as both a display of prestige and an effort to deepen the Tarot Club mbers' impression of the "Primordial Moon" being extrely dangerous. After all, even Old Yellow could very well fall into its hands.
The mbers of the Tarot Club felt a chill in their hearts. "The Magician" Fors forced a smile and said, "I understand. The best solution is still to rely on 'playing' to digest."
Ebner interjected, "Below Sequence 7, it's like this. For mid-sequence, you might want to look into extraordinary items from high-sequence 'Sun' pathways to help 'potions' precipitate."
Of course, having children is also an option. After all, ordinary people don't digest potions as quickly as Tarot Club mbers. It usually takes years, sotis even two or three years, or even five or six years... In the original work, the side effect of the man-made death god, being able to stay semi-divine for ten years, was considered a divine blessing level treatnt.
There was a brief silence, and this was the first ti the others had learned that high-sequence "Sun" Beyonders had such an ability.
For Derek, although the Silver City didn't have the "Sun" pathway formula, the powers of the "Creator" and the "Sun God" were recorded in textbooks, so it didn't seem strange to him at all...
He adjusted his posture and said, "I've been assigned another exploration mission."
"Where to explore?" "The Hanged Man" Alger asked, tilting his head.
"It's still that ruined town with the fallen Creator's temple." Derek answered casually.
After that, "The Hanged Man" shared and taught Derek so mind-blowing "loafer" experiences and "slacking off" tutorials. Ebner looked at the dazed "Sun" and, after thinking for a mont, said, "Mr. Sun, I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
"What favor? If I can do it, I'll definitely help!" Derek snapped out of his daze and replied sincerely. He felt he owed Mr. Tower a lot and had been wanting to repay him for so ti.
"Hmm, please investigate carefully when you explore that town and see if there are any traces left by people from other city-states..."
