Chapter 26 Audrey: I'll give you 1000 pounds and tell me what they are saying
The Hanged Man Alger sighed. His client was not Miss Justice from the beginning. Although she gave such accurate resolutions of the King and the Prime Minister, her family was inseparable from the words of parliamentarians, nobles, and power, but she was too young...
And the power of the family is not equal to the power of Miss Justice...
“The priestess who is suspected to be a high-sequence expert has remained silent since hearing the commission… Indeed, I can’t even offer her a reward that would impress her… not to mention the even more mysterious Mr. Fool…”
The priestess Old Blue had just been sitting quietly since a while ago, giving the impression that she was not interested in Mr. Hanged Man's commission, but she was also weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
"Miss Justice will not take part in the event herself. She will entrust it to the future Miss Magician Fors Wall and Miss Judgement Hugh Dilcha. This is also a very important opportunity for the two ladies. It is best not to interrupt this process..."
"The assassination of Qilingos involves the planning of the 'xx Hermit Society' and must be under the surveillance of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' members, perhaps Hvin Rambis, or perhaps other members... This old man is a demigod..."
"Demigod? Isn't that just right? Moving promotion materials?"
Old Bruce stroked his beard, raised the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but feel ridiculous about his own ambition:
"When did I become so arrogant that I even look down on demigods? Hvin Rambis even took a long time to deal with Mr. Hermann, the World... He is too difficult to kill..."
"Hey, with the Chaos Puddle, sooner or later he will have to face Adam, the True Creator, Leodro, Osekus, and Hrabergen... What's Hvin Rambis? Get him!"
So the priestess said in a good mood:
"I won't be in Backlund recently, so I probably won't be able to catch up with this 'hunt'. Ha, I wish you good luck, Miss Justice, and stay safe."
“Damn… How can he be more pretentious than me?” Klein the Fool used the power of the Clown Potion to hold back his expression. He leaned back slightly and complained wildly in his heart, “Others may not know, but don’t I? Old Blue is just a Sequence 8 ‘Raging Citizen’! He is on par with my ‘Clown’! Going to capture Qilingos is courting death…”
“As expected of a senior Punisher, as expected of a grassroots employee who has worked all his life…” Klein decided to learn this spirit of being cowardly when necessary and definitely not get involved in this matter…
"Thank you for your reminder..." Miss Justice still had some confidence in this matter. She hesitated and said:
“Mr. Priestess, you are a learned man. Can I know from you the secrets of the communication between Mr. Fool and Mr. Sun? Well, Mr. Fool, Mr. Sun, do you mind if I ask this question?”
"I don't mind. I also want to know the secret hidden in my conversation with the sun..." Klein the Fool held the edge of the table with his left hand and said as if he didn't care.
"can."
The Sun naturally had no objection. He also had a lot of things he wanted to know, so he followed the Fool and said, "I don't mind. I also have some questions I want to know the answers to..."
"Phew, it's not bad, Audrey, you did a great job! As an Extraordinary novice, you must study hard. Now that you have embarked on the Extraordinary Road, you can't stop!" Miss Justice cheered herself up in her heart and said excitedly:
"Mr. Priestess, I am willing to pay you, um, 1000 pounds, what do you think? I mean, if it's not enough, I can add more..."
Even old Bruce was shocked by this number, "1000 pounds... let's convert it... 1 pound is 20 soli, 1 soli is 24 pence, 1 penny is 3 or 4 dollars, million? Fuck..." What does it mean, money is justice!
The priestess spoke calmly:
"I'm happy to answer your question, but do you want only you to know it, or for everyone to know it?"
Justice Audrey thought about it for a moment and said:
"Let me put it this way. Today, Mr. Priestess and Mr. Sun have shared valuable intelligence. Mr. Hanged Man has also shared the news that Qilingos has infiltrated Backlund. I hope to return your sharing."
The Hanged Man and the Priestess looked at each other and quickly separated. The old foxes should have felt ashamed, but they didn't.
Although Mr. Sun did not understand the purchasing power of 1000 pounds, he understood that Miss Justice paid a price so that everyone could hear valuable news... "This lady is really kind..."
Klein the Fool was still immersed in the huge figure of 1000 pounds. Some time ago, the Hanged Man used some information about a secret organization to exchange 1000 pounds from Miss Justice. Now, Mr. Priestess wanted to use some information to exchange 1000 pounds from this lady again? More than one million? You know, the house he currently lives in on Daffodil Street in Tingen would only cost 850 pounds to buy out completely!
"Knowledge is not just power, it is also wealth, it is gold pounds..." Klein sighed sincerely.
Old Blue nodded, turned toward the sun and said:
"Then let's get started. First, let's confirm that the area where Mr. Sun is located has the Shepherd potion formula, right? After all, Mr. Sun has a certain understanding of the Shepherd Sequence Beyonders. No, it should be said that he knows them very well, as if he had seen them with his own eyes..."
Sun Derrick nodded. He had no intention of hiding this information.
After receiving a positive response, the priestess turned around and continued:
"As we all know, the path of potions originated from the blasphemous slate, which came from the original creator. Therefore, we and Mr. Sun, who both know the potion system, are still in the same world even if we speak different languages and dress differently. I hope this logic is in line with everyone's common sense."
Justice looked at the sun and nodded. Klein nodded silently as well. The sun spoke in Giant language, and everyone could only understand what he was saying by relying entirely on Mr. Fool’s translation... and the problem of lip movements not matching still could not be hidden from the experienced priestess... As for the outfit, that was even easier to tell...
"Combined with the 'abandonment' and 'sacrifice' mentioned by Mr. Fool, the Silver City where Mr. Sun is located is most likely located in what we call the 'God-Forsaken Land'. The God-Forsaken Land is most likely in the same world as us, but... it has not been discovered yet. Or, it was once in the same world, but at some point in time, the God-Forsaken Land was cut off from our world."
"The God-Forsaken Land... the God-Forsaken Land described by Mr. Hanged Man? Mr. Priestess, allow me to ask, but what exactly is the 'God-Forsaken Land'?" Justice Audrey was a little dazed and confused, and couldn't help asking the question.
The priestess Old Blue did not answer directly, but looked at the sun, and found that the latter had hope on his face, but also a little flustered, and continued:
"The God-Forsaken Land, as the name suggests, is a place abandoned by the gods... From ancient times to the present, countless people, from ordinary sailors to Emperor Roselle, have tried to find its location, but all have failed."
"Many people doubt whether it actually exists. Now it seems that since the Sun and the Silver City both exist, the God-Forsaken Land is real."
"Mr. Priestess, you are saying," the sun could not help but speak, "you are saying that you have a description of where we are? The God-forsaken Land? And you are still looking for us? But we have been exploring this land for two thousand five hundred and eighty-two years... and we have not found... the outside world."
First update on New Year’s Eve, thank you for watching!
