At Miss Justice's reminder, Hanged Man Alger quickly conjured six pages of a diary. Just as he was about to offer them to Fool at the head of the long bronze table, he suddenly remembered something and spoke respectfully, "Mr. Fool, I've gathered some intelligence related to the Secret Order."
Lex turned slightly, glancing at 'Seaweed Head' not far away. He knew that the Hanged Man operated on the Sea, and there were plenty of pirates on the Sea. Pirates should value intelligence quite highly.
Lex wasn't surprised that the Hanged Man could obtain intelligence about the Secret Order; he just wanted to know what kind of intelligence Alger had obtained.
"Very good." Klein, shrouded in the thick fog, nodded lightly, seemingly not intending to communicate with the Hanged Man in private.
This surprised Lex a little, but then he realized that Klein probably wanted other members to know more about the Secret Order, which would help in collecting relevant information.
Alger, by the side of the long table, felt like he was once again occupying an important position. He leaned slightly forward and said unhurriedly, "The Secret Order has a certain connection with the Intis Republic?"
Lex was still waiting for him to continue, but Alger had stopped. He was momentarily stunned.
That's it?
The Secret Order was within Intis territory and was an ancient organization traceable to the Fourth Epoch. If it had no connection with the Intis Republic, that would be truly bizarre.
Klein, however, thought more deeply.
The Chariot had mentioned last time that the Secret Order had intricate ties with Solomon and the Zaratul Family. I also saw in the Great Emperor's diary that Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, sought out the Great Emperor in Trier, the Capital of Intis, and the Secret Order later participated in the Intis incident.
Hmm, it's not surprising that the Secret Order still has some connection with the Intis Republic today.
Then, at this moment, he heard Lex respectfully say, "Mr. Fool, regarding the Secret Order, I have some things I'd like to add."
The Chariot's information network is quite good. He just provided some last time, and now he has more to add.
I hope he continues to owe me the 'reward' or exchanges knowledge-related items with me. He absolutely must not ask for anything too high-end, otherwise, I'll have to find an excuse to delay.
"Please speak."
With permission from the figure at the head of the long table, Lex smiled, looked around, and then spoke.
"The Secret Order has always been pursuing the relics of the Antigonus family. I recently learned that the reason they do this is probably not as simple as the Antigonus family possessing the 'Seer' pathway."
"It seems to be more related to the special Bloodline of the Antigonus family."
There's such a thing?
The Hanged Man was stunned. He had been inquiring about the Secret Order on the Sea, but he didn't know that the Secret Order had always been pursuing the relics of the Antigonus family, nor did he know that the reason for this was likely due to the Family's Bloodline.
He blurted out, "What is so mystic about the Antigonus family's Bloodline?"
Hanged Man, you ask a good question.
Klein, shrouded in thick fog, maintained his posture, appearing unconcerned, but in fact, both of his ears were perked up, not wanting to miss a single word Lex was about to say.
But at this moment, Lex looked at the Hanged Man beside him: "What do you plan to exchange for this information?"
I...
The Hanged Man cleared his throat: "Although I'm interested in this information, it's not essential for me. If an exchange is required, then forget it."
He leaned back in his chair, and at the same time, thoughts couldn't help but surface in his mind.
This Chariot fellow is too cunning. After successfully whetting someone's appetite, he then 'charges' for the important parts.
However.
He possesses such important information. It seems he has many channels, at least no fewer than mine.
Thinking of this, Alger's good mood from earlier had already vanished.
At the head of the long bronze table, Klein couldn't help but complain inwardly.
At such a crucial moment, Hanged Man, don't chicken out. I really want to know too!
On the other side.
Mr. Hanged Man seems a bit down, but Mr. Chariot's information is truly well-informed. Our Tarot Club is becoming more and more high-end!
Hmm, I also really want to know the answer to the question Mr. Hanged Man raised.
After thinking for a moment, Audrey spoke with a light voice, "Mr. Chariot, if I wish to obtain the answer, what would I need to exchange?"
Lex smiled and said, "If it's a request from a beautiful Miss, I find it hard to refuse. Besides, last time, Miss Justice helped me collect some materials, so I'll give you this answer for free."
"Do you want me to announce it here publicly, or discuss it privately?"
Mr. Chariot is very gentlemanly and generous.
If it were other information, I would prefer to discuss it privately, but Mr. Fool is also collecting information in this area, and I hope he can also learn this information.
"Please make it public."
Audrey smiled slightly: "Also, thank you for your generosity."
Lex returned a smile, then, like the Hanged Man, said in an unhurried tone, "The Antigonus family may possess the Bloodline of an Ancient God."
The Bloodline of an Ancient God?
Alger's breathing became heavy, and he instantly understood why Mr. Fool would collect information about the Secret Order. The Secret Order was collecting relics of a Family that might possess the Bloodline of an Ancient God. It was very likely that the relics of this Family contained the secrets of an Ancient God.
And as a God, Mr. Fool would naturally be interested in matters concerning Ancient Gods. Perhaps the Ancient God at the origin of the Antigonus family was once Mr. Fool's friend or enemy.
Throughout the entire process.
The Sun on the other side of the bronze long table was completely bewildered.
What on earth are they talking about?
The outside world is indeed so complex.
After a moment of silence in the palace, Klein, who had already received the diary conjured by the Hanged Man, did not rush to read it. He looked up at the members, tapping the edge of the long table and smiling.
"I'm going to issue a mission."
A mission?
Lex was a little surprised. He had read the original novel, though only less than fifty chapters. But he knew that Klein, in order to conceal his own strength and to make the Tarot Club members feel awe, had always played the role of an unfathomable, seemingly Savant deity.
Now he's actually issuing a mission. Has he encountered some troublesome problem, or has his strength increased, making him no longer feel insecure or constantly maintain his disguise?
"You can choose to accept it or not."
Klein said in a relaxed tone, "Another one of my Blessed has arrived in Bakerland. He wishes to accomplish something, but it's inconvenient for him to appear personally."
Another Blessed?
Lex felt like laughing inwardly. He probably guessed that this so-called other Blessed was likely Klein himself.
After all, he wasn't a true God yet, so where would he get so many Blessed? Combining this with the previous news of Klein's death, it's very likely that after faking his death, this Fool has secretly gone to Bakerland.
If I had returned a little later, I might even have run into him in Bakerland.
"The thing he wants to accomplish is the assassination of Bakerland Jean Madan, the Ambassador of the Intis Republic to the Loen Kingdom."
The figure at the head of the long bronze table finally revealed the content of the mission!
