These garbled codes were clearly roselle's diary forged by later generations, a jumbled collection of sentences based on existing 'symbols'.
Realizing this, Klein really wanted to draw a circle and curse those forgers.
He calmed down, made the diary disappear from his hand, and then chuckled, saying, "You can begin."
'Hanged Man' Alger immediately looked at Lex and said, "Mr. Chariot, there have been some changes recently regarding your request to find the man named 'Morse'."
"He is still on Sonia Island, but the individuals suspected to be from the Rose School of Thought who were with him have left. Now, he is the only one remaining on the Sea Island."
"Unfortunately, I have a mission, so I cannot go to Sonia Island. If you want to control him, now is an opportunity. I can provide the contact information for a gentleman on Sonia Island. He is my informant, and he will assist you in controlling the target."
The individuals suspected to be from the Rose School of Thought around Morse have left? This is a good opportunity. If all goes well, I can complete my mother's teacher's commission next week.
Lex nodded slightly and asked, "Who is your informant?"
Alger maintained his original posture and said, "His name is Taber. He runs a mystical book materials shop on Sonia Island, the materials shop called 'Red Moon'. The specific address is..."
Lex wrote down the address 'Hanged Man' provided, word for word. Then he thought, if he appeared on Sonia Island and met the informant Alger provided, wouldn't that expose The Chariot's identity?
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I probably can't go to Sonia Island myself. I can entrust a friend to go. Mr. Hanged Man, do you think we can agree on a secret code to verify each other's identities?"
Alger considered it briefly and then said, "No problem."
They quickly agreed on a 'secret code'. After finalizing it on the spot, Alger added, "Also, I know an Artisan who is very interested in your Spirit Medium beyonder characteristics. He hopes to buy it for 1000 pound. What do you think?"
1000 pound?
It's slightly lower than the normal market price. A Sequence 7 main materials is around 600 pound, so a Spirit Medium's beyonder characteristics should normally be around 1200 pound.
That's a 200 pound markdown. If I also give 'Hanged Man' a share, the amount I'd receive would only be about 800 pound.
However.
beyonder characteristics are difficult to sell, and the buyer is an 'Artisan', so it's worth considering.
Now, the dimensional crystal of the mystical book is less than five hundred, and I can't always rely on the Observers' rewards. If I can get to know one or two 'Artisans', at least I'll have a channel to craft High Rank items in the future.
After some thought, Lex nodded, "Alright."
'Hanged Man' Alger frankly said, "Then I'll reply to him tonight. However, after the transaction, you'll need to pay me 200 pound."
"No problem."
Listening to Lex and Alger decide a 1000 pound transaction in just a few words, Fors, with only a few pound left in her pocket, felt genuine envy.
If only I were as powerful as Mr. Chariot, I could hunt down villains, not only earning bounties but also making money from their beyonder characteristics...
However, the 'Apprentice' pathway doesn't seem to be very good at combat. And fighting is very dangerous, not suitable for a lady like me. I should just honestly write books and earn royalties... Thinking this, Fors felt a little bit disappointed again.
Since 'Hanged Man' brought up beyonder characteristics, Lex simply said, "Everyone, I recently acquired a High Rank item, but it's not very useful to me personally. I wonder if any of you are interested."
"Its name is 'blood lord's gift', and it's a glove made from the beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 5 'Scarlet Scholar'."
"It can resist nightmare-like abilities, strengthen dark Spells, and enhance the effects of potions. Additionally, it has the ability to make an area within a certain range enter a full moon state.
It can gain the ability to teleport and flash within a certain range illuminated by moonlight; when struck by a fatal blow, it can reassemble in the moonlight."
"Of course, like other items, it has certain negative effects."
"First, using this item will draw the wielder's blood, and the longer it's used, the more blood it draws.
Also, when worn, it creates a craving for blood. If worn for a long time, it will grant the wearer some of the Scarlet Scholar's abilities, but the risk of losing control during advancement increases and is irreversible."
Listening to Lex's description, the others unconsciously fell into a daze.
A High Rank item crafted from a Sequence 5 beyonder characteristics!
Besides a Demigod-level High Rank item, Mr. Chariot has acquired another Sequence 5 High Rank item. Why does he seem to obtain such things so easily, while I've never even seen or heard of them? Fors, who was already feeling down, became even more dejected now.
The reactions of the others were roughly the same, just slightly different.
For example, Audrey, after her daze, was delighted, happy for the strength of the Tarot Club, and at the same time, she considered whether to buy this item.
It can resist nightmare-like abilities, enhance the effects of potions, make an area enter a full moon state, allow teleportation within the moonlight, and reassemble when struck by a fatal blow!
Just imagining herself walking in the crimson moonlight, just imagining such a scene, Audrey had an urge to buy this glove.
But upon hearing that the glove would suck blood, she instinctively recoiled, and finally, the price Lex mentioned made her temporarily abandon the idea.
"Around 8000 to 10000 pound is my expected price for this item. If a member of our Tarot Club buys it themselves, it will only be 8000 pound. If someone in your circle needs it, the price is the latter."
"Additionally, you can receive a 2000 pound commission."
Lex said with a smile, also knowing that this item would likely not be easy to sell.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Miss Justice said, "I like it very much, but I'm afraid of being sucked dry. However, I can ask around in my circle. If anyone needs it, I will inform you, Mr. Chariot."
Fors's eyes also lit up.
Even if I only help introduce it, if this item is successfully sold, I can still earn a 2000 pound commission?
Mr. Chariot is truly generous. Hmm, I can go to Mr. A's gathering and ask around, but I'll have to bring Lex and keep a low profile...
At the head of the bronze long table, Klein, behind the gray fog, maintained a relaxed smile, but in his mind, he thought: 'Scarlet Scholar' is a Sequence 5 of the Apothecary pathway. This item is very suitable for Emlyn. Even if that Sanguine who likes puppets doesn't have that much money, he can ask around in his circle.
Most importantly, I can earn 2000 pound through this item, which will help alleviate my current financial situation!
After making a decision, Klein secretly manipulated Mr. World to agree to inquire within his circle on Lex's behalf.
The others also expressed their willingness to help, with the exception of Sun, of course.
He was still in a sensitive period and truly couldn't help Lex promote this item.
A moment later, Audrey tilted her head and looked at Sun: "How is that matter now? I mean, the former captain."
She was quite interested in what Sun had mentioned last time about the former captain of the exploration team, and having noticed Sun seemed very uneasy and anxious, she decided to ask.
"He's dead."
Unexpectedly, Sun gave an answer that was both surprising and yet, in a way, expected.
It was surprising because the former captain of the exploration team had been imprisoned for decades without any issues, only to suddenly die shortly after speaking with Sun. Anyone would find this turn of events too drastic.
As for being expected, it was because this person was connected to Amon and the Amon Family. Getting involved with such hidden existences, a sudden violent death didn't seem too strange.
"After the last Tarot Club meeting, I woke up. I originally intended to follow the advice of Mr. Hanged Man and Mr. Chariot and try to get more information from him."
"But then he suddenly appeared behind me and asked if I was looking for him."
Hearing this, Lex couldn't help but take a small breath, then frowned and said, "You weren't in the same room, yet he could suddenly appear behind you. That's very strange."
"I remember you said last time that there was a very powerful magical item in Silver City's dungeon. Didn't it sealed artifact the dungeon, creating barriers between your rooms?"
"Hmm, I mean, occult barriers?"
Sun casually described, "Yes, but he seemed to be able to bypass our item."
"I don't know how he got into my room, but at that time, he was completely out of control. His head was split open in the middle, constantly oozing liquid, and there were many cracks all over his body, each crack a mouth!"
'Magician' Fors almost wanted to hug herself because it sounded too bizarre and terrifying. She immediately thought of another question: "Then how did you survive? Sorry, I'm not looking down on you, I just think if it were me, it would be very difficult to escape."
"Obviously, he was saved by the higher-ups of Silver City," Lex said in a rather unconcerned tone.
This wasn't hard to guess.
Would the higher-ups of Silver City not pay attention to someone who had seen Amon and been imprisoned in the dungeon for decades?
Since they paid attention, why would they place such a person with Sun? Lex guessed that perhaps everyone who entered the dungeon received such 'treatment'.
The higher-ups of Silver City were trying to understand the former captain, placing him with different people to try and discover any abnormalities about him.
If that were the case, they must have been monitoring the former captain and Sun at the time, and perhaps even detected the existence of the Tarot Club through Sun.
"Placing you, who only had pre-signs of losing control, next to such a dangerous individual doesn't make sense," Alger also said. "It seems your Silver City's higher-ups, the members of the Six-Member Council, are consciously allowing people to interact with that individual to see if they can extract more useful information from him and observe his corresponding changes."
"So, as soon as something happened to you, or rather, as soon as that former captain lost control, your higher-ups would inevitably intervene."
Although Sun's figure behind the gray fog was unclear, it was visible that his mouth was slowly opening, and then he spoke in a tone full of admiration.
"Yes, just as you two said, the Chief appeared in time and used that magical item to deal with the Beyonder who had lost control."
As soon as Sun finished speaking, Lex frowned and said, "That's strange."
Audrey and Magician, both Young Misses, looked at Lex, unsure what was strange.
"You said before that the former captain had been imprisoned in the dungeon for decades. He hadn't lost control for decades, so why did he suddenly lose control now?"
As Lex posed this question, Hanged Man seemed to have thought of something, a flicker of unease in his eyes. He looked up at the head of the bronze long table, then his gaze turned to confusion.
"I guessed two reasons: one was because I chose the 'Sun' Pathway, and you previously said the Amon Family were descendants of the Ancient Sun God; the other was that he sensed Mr. Fool was inviting me to the gathering, which caused some kind of change. It was ultimately confirmed to be the latter."
Sun answered Lex's question seriously.
Hanged Man asked almost seamlessly, "How was it confirmed?"
Lex felt a chill run down his spine. Amon could actually detect the existence of the Tarot Club; this was truly terrifying, worthy of being a Blasphemer.
However, Sun wasn't panicked. Did this mean that Amon's problem had already been resolved?
Who resolved it?
Lex looked at Klein behind the gray fog, already having an answer in his heart.
"When that Beyonder who had lost control was dealt with by the Chief, I saw Amon's shadow. It should be him; he looks like this."
Sun answered Alger's question, and after obtaining Mr. Fool's permission, he materialized Amon's image.
So Lex saw a young man wearing a black classical robe and a matching pointed soft hat.
A monocle made of crystal, a broad forehead, a thin face, black eyes, black curly hair…
This was Amon!
"Have you seen him?"
Sun asked, and everyone, including Lex, shook their heads simultaneously.
So the big boy continued.
"Amon's shadow was also eliminated by the Chief with the help of a magical item, leaving behind a translucent worm."
"The Chief told me that it was just one of Amon's Clones…"
"He explained the reason he arranged for me to live next door, and after confirming I had no problems, he let me go home. I was a bit scared, not knowing what further actions Amon might take, so as soon as I got home, I started praying to Mr. Fool…"
"Wait a moment."
Hanged Man interrupted Sun: "You said you had just experienced such a bizarre and terrifying event, and the Chief just sent you home? And as soon as you got home, you didn't do anything else, you just started praying to Mr. Fool?"
"Yes. Is there a problem?"
Sun replied with a slight look of confusion.
Lex chuckled and said, "You're too 'inexperienced'. If I were your Chief, even after checking you, I would definitely send people to monitor you after letting you go back."
"You know, you were in contact with Amon, the Blasphemer. If your Chief were such a careless person, then your Silver City would have ceased to exist long ago."
"In other words, he might have already discovered your abnormality and knows that you are praying to a certain existence!"
