Looking at Miss "Justice," who was as lively as ever, Klein's mood also improved.
It could be said that the past two-plus months had been the most comfortable, relaxed, and "normal" days he had experienced since his "transmigration."
He went to St. Samuel Cathedral several times a week, participated in their activities, continuously donated cash, occasionally accompanied Sharron to watch horse races, theatrical performances, and symphonies, went shopping to pick out various clothes for Sharron, commissioned fashionable jewelry, and held or attended banquets, balls, and salons on weekends…
Klein had even bought an estate. It originally belonged to the Duke Negan family and was called "Rose Song." It had its own high-quality vineyard and winery, as well as a large expanse of woods and farmland suitable for planting and hunting. Its main building was a quadrilateral missing one long side, with four floors and a large number of rooms. Just casually strolling inside would easily take over ten thousand steps. At the same time, it had numerous sculptures, oil paintings, decorations, and exquisite tableware—so magnificent that it resembled a palace.
Compared to when he lived in Tingen with his brother and sister in a rented house with only two rooms, he even felt a slight sense of unreality.
Additionally, this "Rose Song Manor" was actually introduced by the military major general Qonas Kilgor, costing a total of 20,000 pounds… but this did not increase Klein's financial burden—because the wealthy "Dwayne Dantès," after establishing connections with the military, had already resold arms several times and made quite a bit of money.
Unfortunately, the comfortable days were coming to an end. As Madam Daly's due date approached, he and Sharron could be exposed at any moment.
Moreover, Klein had already decided to ambush that "friend" Qonas this weekend—the one who had introduced "Rose Song Manor"—and force him to reveal the location of the mausoleum George III had prepared for his apotheosis.
In addition, as Mr. "Tower's" film company continued to release horror "short films" themed around Gehrman, his "Gourmet Attendant" Shoko was also spreading some bizarre "urban legends" through women's salons… along with the terrifying stories about Gehrman that Danitz was spreading at sea.
Klein's digestion of the "Miracle Invoker" potion was progressing much faster than expected. At most, it would be fully digested within another month.
As for the materials to advance to "Scholar of Yore," there were already leads…
With various thoughts running through his mind, Klein looked around and noticed that Miss "Hermit" had no intention of taking out any new diaries, as if the "Mystic Queen" Bernadette had gone "offline" again.
Who knows what Old Huang's daughter has been busy with lately… As his thoughts turned, Klein glanced at "Tower," then said with a smile:
"You may begin."
At this moment, "Justice" Audrey was the first to put forward a trading request:
"Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone have the blood of an adult Mind Dragon?"
She had already finished digesting the "Hypnotist" potion and had obtained the Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic from the "Mystic Queen." Now, she only lacked the most difficult auxiliary ingredient in the "Dreamwalker" potion formula—the blood of an adult Mind Dragon.
After hearing Miss "Justice," "Sun" Derrick responded quite enthusiastically:
"Our City of Silver's warehouse should have all the materials from an adult Mind Dragon. I'll confirm after I go back and inform you."
That easy? "Justice" Audrey's eyes lit up, and her mood instantly brightened further.
As expected, compared to the outside world where dragons are becoming increasingly rare, the City of Silver, which has inherited from the Second Epoch, is more likely to possess such materials. Mm, mainly because they don't have higher Sequence formulas for the 'Spectator' pathway—so even if they have the materials, they can't use them. And they also lack 'Artisans,' so they can't turn Beyonder materials into the corresponding magical items. Sometimes, they would rather just store them like that… Audrey thought of many things at once and asked with a smile:
"If you do, what would you like in exchange?"
"I… I might need some of the pounds you use." "Sun" Derrick suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, almost raising his hand to scratch the back of his head.
His biggest goal and primary motivation now was to advance to Sequence 5. He had already digested the Sequence 6 "Notary" and was preparing to ask Mr. "Tower" to temporarily take him out of the Forsaken Land of the Gods so that he could advance safely in pure "darkness."
In the past, he would definitely have worried about how to pay Mr. "Tower," but now, despite his concern, he had a new idea:
Let the Chief take out something that Mr. "Tower" needed. After all, confirmation of the outside world, as well as the birth of a "Light Priest," would be extremely beneficial to the City of Silver. The Chief would surely be willing to pay the corresponding price.
Based on this idea, he wanted Miss "Justice" to provide some currency so that he wouldn't be unable to do anything upon arriving in the outside world.
From his past observations, pounds were extremely important outside—even Mr. "World" lacked them…
"What do you need pounds for?" "Justice" Audrey asked in surprise at first, then quickly realized and asked in return, "You've finished digesting your 'Notary'?"
"Yes… but it was a month later than expected…" "Sun" Derrick said, looking somewhat apologetically at Ebner. "Sorry to have kept you waiting… Mr. 'Tower.'"
These words made "Star" Leonard's eyelids twitch as he thought, If I remember correctly, when I joined the Tarot Club, you had just reached Sequence 6. It's only been a few months, and you've already digested it?! And you even think it's slow… are all members of the Tarot Club monsters?
"Hanged Man" Alger also felt a bit melancholy. A little over a year ago, "Justice" and "Sun" were still ordinary people, yet now they were already about to catch up to him. If he didn't work harder, he might end up at the bottom of the Tarot Club…
But how am I supposed to obtain the materials for "Cataclysmic Interrer"?
While Alger was feeling lost, Ebner smiled at "Sun" and said, "Actually, the timing is just right. I'll be going to the Forsaken Land of the Gods soon to handle some matters. I'll notify you then."
The various exterior scenes of Berdan City were about to be completed, and people's "wish" to bring dreamlike architecture into reality was also about to be fulfilled. It was time to go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods and bring out the "Floating City" through a "miracle."
Upon hearing this, "Sun" immediately became excited, filled with longing and anticipation for the outside world.
—After all, no matter how steady he was, he was still just a child…
"Then let's set it at 1,000 pounds. I'll personally give it to you after you arrive in Backlund," Audrey added with a smile, her tone also full of expectation.
"Alright!" "Sun" Derrick, who didn't have much concept of money, nodded vigorously.
Audrey then glanced around, indicating that her transaction was complete.
Seeing this, "World" Gehrman immediately looked at "Tower" and said in a hoarse voice:
"I've already gathered the 500,000 pounds. When can you give me the 'Powdered Heart of the Fog Demon Wolf'?"
