Chapter 147 Childish Ghost
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
Audrey looked around quickly, confirmed something, lifted her skirt, and greeted the Fool with an elegant smile, then said without any abnormality:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man, and good afternoon, Mr. Sun.
"Good afternoon, Mister Priestess."
Priestess Old Blue couldn't help but tilt his head back. Miss Justice's voice was clear and sweet, and her tone was cheerful, but she always felt that something was wrong when she greeted him... He immediately imitated her and said:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Great Fool!
……
"Good afternoon, Miss Justice."
Childish! Klein the Fool curled his lips under the cover of the gray fog, feeling a little amused. Old Blue silently completed Mr. Hanged Man's commission before Miss Justice. It was normal for Miss Justice to feel a little resentful... But Old Blue actually showed his childish side. It seemed that he was in a good mood.
Klein nodded to everyone, signaling that they could begin. There were still no new members at this Tarot gathering. A clown covering his face? Ha, let him be locked up for a while.
【“…”】
Justice Audrey immediately said:
“I’m sorry, dear Mr. Fool. Backlund was under strict control last week, and all extraordinary gatherings were stopped. Therefore, I didn’t get the new Roselle diary… But I have deposited the 300 gold pounds compensation from your follower into that account. I wonder if he or she received it?”
Klein understood it very well. Last week, he had to go through four levels of inspection when leaving the steam train station, not to mention the extraordinary gathering organized by the "Wild Extraordinary"!
Normally the authorities turn a blind eye to them, but if they cause trouble at a critical moment... then we'll see you behind the Chanis gate.
300 pounds! Klein had checked it countless times. It just lay quietly in that anonymous account. This was the money he earned by looking directly at the Eternal Sun and selling the formula! With his 6 pounds a week salary, he would have to skip food and drink for 50 weeks, or nearly a year, to earn that much! Well, it was actually enough to buy two bottles of Ormier wine from Serenzo Restaurant... Klein didn't know whether to be happy or sigh, and said calmly:
“Don’t apologize, it was a long-term commission, not a favor, as long as you remember it.
"I didn't pay attention to the matter of the gold pound, but since my followers didn't ask for additional help, they should have received it."
"That's great!" Audrey had a flawless smile on her face and turned to look at the other side. "Mr. Priestess, I wonder if you have received the 800 pounds? Yes, that's the money I paid you for consulting you on the 'Devil Angel' incident last time."
Ah... I really forgot... Old Blue scratched his face and said, "I have received the reserved payment. I admire your character."
Audrey wanted to puff up her cheeks, but the Priestess's expression and actions showed that what she said just now was just a polite remark!
The Hanged Man, Alger, looked to his right. The photo in the newspaper matched the figure exactly, without a single mistake. He felt relieved and said,
“I have also prepared all the spinal fluid of the evil-marked black panther. This is what you deserve from the last transaction.
"I don't have any clues about the real tuber of the other misty tree man...
"I am willing to collect a higher-sequence extraordinary material for you, that is, a Sequence 6 extraordinary material, as a reward for completing my commission..."
Misty Tree Man... Sun Derrick heard a familiar extraordinary creature. He had heard about it in the training ground after becoming a "Singer of Praise"... But before joining the patrol team, he could not gain merit and could not exchange for that material... He suppressed his somewhat impatient heart, listened to the conversations of other members, and tried to distinguish various information.
Sequence 6 level extraordinary materials are priced at around 1500 pounds each, and some rare and strictly controlled materials can even be priced at a premium of 2000-2500 pounds!
Old Blue looked to the left with interest. The Hanged Man Alger was quite sincere. Compared to the original 19 pages of Roselle's diary from the Church of the Storm in return to the Fool, this time at least he took out real money... "It seems that you have received the message," said the priestess Old Blue, stroking her chin.
"Strictly speaking, I didn't do this just to fulfill your commission, so you don't have to pay me.
“You should thank Miss Justice. She must have paid a lot for your commission, including her time, connections, and risk-taking.
“You should be more grateful to Mr. Fool. It was He who provided the communication platform that gave you the opportunity to request the silencing. Well, you should ask Qi Lingos to shut up forever, right?”
He... silenced me... He saw through me completely... Psychic? Did what I did get exposed? But no Mandated Punisher has come to detain me... As expected, the priestess kept the secret for me... He could have captured Qilingos alive? To keep the secret, he silenced me?
The Hanged Man Alger's mind was in a state of flux, but his movements were not slow. He quickly stood up and saluted the Fool: "I only believe in Mr. Fool!"
Klein the Fool held his expression tight. The overwhelming newspaper publicity meant that Old Blue would be exposed in the Tarot Club at the first opportunity, but Old Blue never panicked...
If you think about it carefully, you will understand that Miss Justice and I will never report him. The Hanged Man is also a member of the Tarot Club. Reporting him is tantamount to self-destruction. Mr. Sun... Well, if he can really report him... that would be a good thing.
The Fool is surrounded by gray mist. He nods slightly and says, “Not bad.” This is his response to the Hanged Man.
Alger then said to Miss Justice standing opposite him:
"Miss Justice, just as Mr. Priestess said, I have also made a promise: as long as you make an attempt, I will pay you a certain amount of money.
"I can provide two options. One is the knowledge and intelligence of some secret organizations, and the other is a key ingredient of the Mind Reader potion. Of course, you have to tell me what it is."
Ah! This series of changes caught her off guard. Audrey didn't think about exposing the identity of the priestess because everyone instinctively protected their true selves...
Mr. Hanged Man actually offered Mr. Priestess a reward for completing the commission! And Mr. Priestess generously agreed!
Is there anything that I don't understand? Audience member Audrey found that her abilities didn't seem to work very well...
Ah... I did spend some time, but it was Xio and Fors who took the risk. Well, luckily they are fine... I will pay them next time I see them!
It is still necessary for Susie to take a walk every day! She is her own messenger!
My own reward... Although I didn't actually accomplish anything, I gained a lot of mature ideas...
Hidden knowledge and mind reader, do I need to choose? Audrey nodded politely:
"'Mind Reader', I hope to obtain the materials for the 'Mind Reader', which are: the complete pituitary gland of an adult seven-colored lizard dragon, and 10 ml of cerebrospinal fluid from a Falsman rabbit.
"Well, your reward is one extraordinary material, but if you can get all the materials, I will pay gold pounds to make up the difference and buy them!"
The Hanged Man Alger was not surprised. This young lady still yearned for the extraordinary world and still wanted to continue to advance... The seven-colored lizard dragon... Fortunately, there should be one on that island. He accepted it and turned to the priestess, bowed and said:
“Mr. Priestess, it’s like a wanted poster at sea. No matter who it is, as long as they get the target’s head, they can get a bounty.
"Please allow me to pay the due remuneration. This is also a reflection of Mr. Fool's principle of 'equal exchange'."
