Chapter 23 Priestess Blue: Mr. A thinks you are beautiful and wants to recruit you into the sect
Old Blue has been restraining himself. After all, this is Mr. Fool's kingdom of God. It would be bad if he was kicked out for being too presumptuous...
But the sun gave itself a "step", and I can't blame it! Mr. Fool!
He first looked towards the top of the long bronze table, as if asking for permission.
The figure shrouded in thick gray fog nodded slowly.
Old Blue's eyes sparkled, but he spoke slowly, stroking his beard and saying:
"No problem. As I said before, we should communicate with each other. Although the dance of Silver City is full of ancient beauty, there are also many professional or non-professional dancers in our world who have created many dance forms. The most famous of them is Emperor Roselle."
"A hundred years ago, Emperor Roselle was not only a genius in mechanics and the uncrowned king of inventors, but also a political giant and a literary master. However, few people know that he was also good at dancing and music. He was simply an all-rounder!"
"Almost all the dances involved in social dances today are related to this emperor. What I want to share with you is a dance that was improved by Emperor Roselle and can move in rhythm with the power of nature - the Ancient Elf Dance."
Old Blue wasn't talking nonsense. After all, whatever Russell did was reasonable, wasn't it? Crown Russell! The King of Dance!
“And I used an ancient elf dance to successfully gain a response in the sacrificial ceremony to Mr. Fool, and received ‘praise’! He said: ‘Well done.’ This is the highest reward given to believers!”
Old Blue seemed very excited, his astral body glowing red. He ignored the shock of Justice and the Hanged Man, and the envy of the Sun, and continued:
"There are two types of ancient elf dance. One is for social use and is popular among the nobles today. It has a slow rhythm and graceful movements. The other is used by professional priests and has wild and natural movements."
"As you said, Sun, most elves are irritable. This is inseparable from the fact that most of them are of the Sailor Path. High-sequence Sailor Path masters the power of lightning. So this dance imitates the normal reaction of the body after touching lightning. This reaction is closest to nature..."
Old Blue talked eloquently, as if he had transformed into the "keyboard dance master" of his previous life, and successfully led the group astray from the "sacrificial dance" exclusive to fools.
……
"Thank you for sharing. You are such a knowledgeable and kind person." The sun said with gratitude.
“No, no, let’s save this title for the Hanged Man who comes later…” Old Blue complained in his heart, and then said:
"We are all chosen by Mr. Fool, so we should help each other. And we also abide by the principle set by Mr. Fool: equal exchange. So, don't think that you are receiving a favor from me, in fact, it is all a gift from Mr. Fool. This is also the truth you must understand on your way to extraordinaryness: know who is helping you and what you can give back. Sorry, I habitually started preaching, if it makes you unhappy, then I apologize..."
Old Blue bowed slightly to Sun, seeing that he was a little flustered, and wanted to thank him but hesitated.
Miss Justice on the opposite side also looked thoughtful. She was also an Extraordinary novice. In terms of Extraordinary knowledge, she might not be as good as Sun who had the Silver City General Education textbook.
Then the blonde and green-eyed Miss Justice smiled and said:
“Mr. Fool, the method you described earlier of selecting civil servants through public examinations has been approved by the King and the Prime Minister. It will soon be passed by the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It is expected to enter the formal implementation stage early next year.”
Old Blue couldn't help but complain in his mind: "Here it comes, the end of the universe is the civil service exam... But in this world, the fastest way to escape poverty is actually to become a Beyonder... Hmm? The Punishers and Nighthawks are also another kind of civil servants? Forget it, the end of the universe is indeed the civil service exam."
The Fool nodded in agreement, and Justice straightened his back even more, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Hanged Man, I got the answer to what you asked me to confirm before. The king has been persuaded by the Prime Minister and will not retaliate against the Feysac Empire on the east coast of Balam in the short term. I think you should pay the extra compensation you promised before."
Old Blue first took a deep look at Miss Justice, then turned to look at the Hanged Man on the left, as if trying to find out what the price would be in exchange for such important information.
The Hanged Man was silent for a few seconds as if he was thinking, then he said:
"Ms. Justice, thank you for your answer. It relieves me from having to worry about certain things. What additional compensation would you like to receive? As long as it's within a reasonable range, I will consider it."
Old Bruce was filled with emotion. Alger was indeed an official certified veteran. This operation was exactly the same as the one in his previous online game, when he shouted in the world channel: "Buying xx materials, bring your price." He couldn't help but think of a rare material that was released during an event. He couldn't find out how much it was worth. He went to the merchants who were buying the materials, but they refused to offer a price. They just waited for you to make an offer...
And Miss Justice, like him in his previous life, gave a very low offer:
"Clues to the Psychological Alchemy Society, or clues to the main ingredients of the 'Mind Reader' potion formula."
The old hands were delighted. Some were happy to get the materials at a low price, while others were happy not to have to bear higher commitments.
Great, a perfect deal has been made!
This does not even constitute fraud, but is simply an information asymmetry in a transaction, which leads to unequal value of trading chips.
Miss Justice obviously didn't care about these things. She asked Susie the golden retriever to eavesdrop on the conversation between her father and the congressman in the study and easily got enough important information.
With a net worth of 30 pounds and an annual pension of 1.5 to 2.5 pounds, Miss Justice will be able to obtain the mind reader's materials as long as she gets the "clue".
——Money is justice.
This was a reasonable deal for her, even a sure win.
Old Blue calmed down and analyzed it carefully, looking at it from the perspective of a real member of the Tarot Club:
"Miss Justice has fully demonstrated that she is one of the top people in Backlund and the entire Loen upper echelons. If any members have related problems in the future, she can solve most of them."
"Mr. Hanged Man may seem to have taken advantage, but if he wants to continue to stay in the Tarot Club, it is best not to have such unequal transactions in the future... Especially with the participation of Mr. Priestess, I can see what he is up to at a glance..."
"Besides, when Miss Justice became a senior Beyonder, the Hanged Man implicitly owed her a favor... and favors are hard to repay..."
"This isn't the online game from my previous life, where no one would care if I ran away after a transaction... This is the Tarot Club, a meeting before the gods..."
After Old Blue made the calculation, he was surprised to find that Miss Justice actually made a profit, and Mr. Hanged Man really lost a lot of money?
Miss Justice seemed to have remembered something and said:
"I've recently come into contact with some Beyonders and learned about a strong man named Mr. A, Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Priestess, and Mr. Sun. Do you know his background and true identity?"
The Fool at the top did not express anything, his calmness remained unchanged, and it was difficult to guess his true thoughts.
Old Blue understood that Mr. Fool was unsure and could only maintain his image and not answer. Mr. Sun didn't even understand what Miss Justice was saying...
He looked at the Hanged Man and found that Alger had no intention of speaking. Instead, he looked at him, intending to test the new member?
"Well, Mr. Hanged Man, I'm giving you a chance to repay my kindness, but you don't take it..."
"Ahem," Old Blue coughed lightly, successfully attracting the attention of all members, and said:
"Miss Justice, if Mr. A has recommended the Secret Prayer Potion to you, then congratulations, your appearance is very much in line with their aesthetics."
Second update, thanks for watching!
