"I will find the corresponding Sequence 8 potion formula for the Bard pathway for you as soon as possible, but not today, can you accept that?" Audrey pondered for a moment, then said, immediately glancing at the head of the ancient long table, "We can ask The Fool to be a witness."
The figure shrouded in thick fog at the bronze long table chuckled.
"Miss Justice, perhaps I can pay for the 'Prayer' formula for you."
Klein also has a formula for the Bard pathway?
It seems he has many channels.
Lex watched them complete this transaction without batting an eyelid, and then Audrey chose to communicate with Sun privately, which made Lex curious. He was also interested in the Dragon, but did not want to waste his resources on it, so he could only restrain himself.
After all, Audrey was exchanging this knowledge with Sun due to her own pathway, and Lex was not an Spectator.
The Hanged Man also seemed to have the same thought; he remained silent, waiting quietly.
After Sun and Audrey finished, everyone chatted for a while longer, and then Klein announced the end of this week's Tarot Club.
A moment of trance.
When Lex came back to his senses, he saw his bedroom. He got up, stretched, moved his body, and then put on a low-key light jacket before leaving.
He disguised himself slightly and first went to a bank, withdrawing three thousand pounds from his anonymous account.
Then he came to the Mermaid Cafe, asked for a quiet room, and ordered coffee and cake.
Afterward, Lex closed the door, took out the prepared paper and pen from his pocket, and began to write a letter.
He habitually started writing, penning the salutation 'Dear Mr. Osweld', but after thinking for a moment, he rewrote it on a new sheet of paper.
'Mr. Osweld, I would like to inquire about Bakerland Jean Madan, the more detailed the better; you should know who he is. Additionally, I am interested in the Thousand-Faced Traveler and hope to acquire it now. If possible, can I purchase information and mystical items with pounds?'
The signature was simply 'Duke'.
After writing, Lex took out Osweld's metal flute, put it to his lips, and blew.
No sound was emitted, but an invisible wave spread around. A moment later, Lex felt the temperature seemed to drop, and then an unreal knocking sound came from behind the door.
Osweld's messenger can knock on doors?
How polite.
Lex cleared his throat: "Come in."
He simultaneously activated his Spiritual Vision.
He felt someone just outside the door, but the door did not open, yet a foot passed directly through the wooden door and stepped onto the floor of the room.
This leg was clad in shiny leather shoes, straight-creased trousers, followed by a pure black tailcoat, with a waistcoat and white shirt underneath.
Osweld's messenger seemed to be a 'gentleman', and because he wore white gloves, he looked like a 'butler'.
But when this 'butler' completely passed through the wooden door and entered the room, Lex discovered that he had no head!
The area above the collar was just air!
A headless 'butler'?
Having seen many strange scenes, Lex quickly remained calm, folded the letter and put it into an envelope, then handed it over: "Please deliver this letter to Mr. Osweld."
The headless 'butler' took Lex's letter, hid it, then placed a hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and retreated backward until he reached the door, then turned and left.
The temperature returned to normal.
Playing with the metal flute that could summon a messenger, Lex smiled and said, "How interesting."
He leisurely drank coffee, enjoyed his cake, and finally paid the bill before leaving.
Returning to the Baron's Mansion, Lex saw a carriage parked at the main gate, with servants taking luggage from the carriage and bringing it into the house.
"Mother is back?"
Lex immediately quickened his pace, walked into the hall, and saw his mother, Amelia, holding Joe and Pasha's small hands, leading them to a pile of gifts to choose from.
"Mom, when did you get back?"
Hearing Lex's voice, Amelia turned around and said with a smile: "Just now, you came back at a good time. Come with me, I have something to tell you."
They went to the lecture cottage.
After the door closed, Amelia said with a hint of weariness on her face: "These past few days, my teacher and I heard a piece of news: Morse might be going to Sonia Island."
Lex paused, recalling information about Sonia Island.
Sonia Island is located in the Sonia Sea, and is also the source of the Sea's name. It is a Sea Island almost equivalent to a small continent. Legend has it that it was originally a gathering place for elves after the Great Cataclysm, but as time passed, this ancient Beyonder race gradually perished, with only occasional, sporadic appearances proving they have not been completely extinct.
At the end of the Fourth Epoch, Loen Kingdom occupied this island, but during the "Twenty Years' War", they suffered a crushing defeat, surrendering Sonia Island to the Feysac Empire, which was over seven hundred years ago.
Sonia Island is located northwest of the Rorsted Archipelago. It takes nearly half a month by ship, and traveling from Loen to the Rorsted Archipelago also takes a considerable amount of time.
"What is he going to do in such a distant place?"
Amelia evidently had no answer to Lex's question. She shook her head and said, "Neither my teacher nor I know, but with this clue, you won't have to search blindly when you are at Sea."
At Sea, perhaps I can ask the Hanged Man for help.
As Lex had this thought, his mother walked into the study and, a moment later, came out with a box. She opened the box, revealing various Charmss, more in number than what Lex had received when he went to Tingen last time.
"These are for your use; I hope they will be of some help to you."
Amelia reached out and gently stroked Lex's cheek: "I'm very sorry, child. This matter should have been done by me, but I have my own problems to solve, so I can only entrust it to you."
"You must remember, finding Morse is far less important than your own safety. If you find danger and it might threaten your life, you must decisively give up."
"I don't want you to get hurt because of this."
Lex smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll handle it."
"Hmm, it seems my child has truly grown up."
Amelia patted his arm: "Go, prepare, and then you can come down for dinner."
Perhaps because his mother's teacher was present, Bison did not participate in dinner today. It seemed he had no fondness for Asered. While putting food into his mouth, Lex couldn't help but wonder if he had been reprimanded by her teacher while pursuing his mother.
As he thought this, Lex had already imagined a melodramatic love story.
After dinner, Lex returned to his room, opened the box his mother had given him, and looked at the various metal flakes and gems of different colors and shapes inside, distinguishing the types of Charmss: "Sleeping Charms, Flashing Charms, Tracking Charms, and also…"
