"Justice" Audrey was surprised to hear about the ingredients for the "Psychotherapist" potion so quickly, and then she happily replied, "Okay, deal."
By this time, Audrey's financial situation had gradually improved, and by the New Year, she would be of legal age and would be able to receive some dividends from her shares every month, which would increase the amount of gold pounds she could use.
So it's not difficult for her to come up with 1,000 pounds right now.
You agreed?
While delighted, "Magician" Fors was also somewhat bewildered: "Miss Justice" had agreed just like that.
They then asked Mr. Fool to witness the transaction, agreeing that Miss Justice would pay first and deliver the extraordinary materials on Wednesday.
Before "The Sun" Derrick set off last week, he had already sacrificed "The Stomach of the Soul Eater" and the materials requested by "The Hanged Man" to Mr. "The Fool," completing their three-way transaction.
Now Fors is just waiting to digest the potion again so he can be promoted to "Master of Tricks".
So neither Fors nor Derrick had any other needs for the gathering this week.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," waited until the two female members finished their transaction before saying, "I need a pair of longan eagle eyes."
Last week, Audrey helped Alger trade for the "Windbringer" potion recipe, so he also began searching for the main ingredients for the potion.
Having seen the potion recipe, Audrey thought: "Mr. Hanged Man only mentioned 'the eye of the dragon-eyed eagle,' which means he has a clue about 'blue falcon feather crystals.'"
The "Hanged Man" is a member of the Tarot Club who has many channels and resources. The "Hermit" also has many channels, but most of them are for trading information.
Therefore, even the "Hanged Man" had no way of buying the extraordinary materials, and the other members could only promise to keep an eye out for them for the time being.
Fors would write to her teacher, and Audrey would inquire about the "Psychological Alchemy Society," as the saying goes: when in trouble, seek help from your organization.
The only thing that can't help here is "Little Sun," because Silver City doesn't have any extraordinary creatures living at sea, so it doesn't have the corresponding extraordinary materials.
After waiting a few seconds to make sure no one initiated a new transaction, Odis said to "The World," "I have some questions I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Klein was taken aback: What does this guy want with me?
He was now almost certain that the "Hermit" was Mr. Gar. He guessed that the "Hermit" also had some doubts about his identity. After all, the "Secret Seeker" was a highly spiritual person. They had attended so many gatherings together and met so many times "offline." It was impossible that the other party's spirituality had not noticed anything.
However, neither of them revealed themselves first, nor did they reveal their intention to know the other's true identity.
The reason is simple: if people know each other's real-world identities, they will either trust each other more or become wary and suspicious of one another.
Therefore, it is important to be mindful of the timing when revealing one's identity.
Now, Klein no longer refers to Odis as "the Hermit" or "Mr. Garr" in his mind, but simply as "this guy".
After a moment of hesitation, Klein manipulated "The World" and said, "Okay."
So Odis asked the Fool to help them establish a private space to communicate, and he got straight to the point: "Do you have any advanced methods to 'change your luck'?"
Then, without giving Klein any room to maneuver, he said, "I've learned that the other archangel you mentioned earlier, the one on the 'Destiny' path, is in Backlund."
"But it seems He has just completed a 'reboot' and is unwilling to provide any form of assistance."
Klein opened his mouth, once again marveling at the "Hermit's" impressive intelligence network. He had originally thought that only he knew the whereabouts of the archangel of the "Destiny" path.
He thought for a moment before manipulating the "world" to ask, "What level of 'transfer' method is needed?"
"It should at least be at the angel level," Odis replied. "I've been very unlucky lately, encountering one incident involving a level 0 sealed artifact and two incidents involving evil gods."
"Now I am certain that my fate has been influenced by someone."
Klein opened his mouth, thinking to himself: It's a miracle you're still alive!
Let alone matters involving level 0 sealed artifacts and gods, even matters involving demigods would theoretically have resulted in their deaths several times over.
Faced with the silence of the "world", Odis smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky."
"Even though they encounter such high-level events, they still manage to survive every time."
Moreover, he always managed to gain something from each incident, including receiving intelligence fees from the "Night Watchers" and establishing a good relationship with them.
The event of the "Unending Whispers" brought the "Scroll Professor's" potion recipe and an income of 2,600 pounds.
Dylan's incident resulted in the acquisition of a Sequence 7 sealed artifact, and he also established a certain connection with the "Demon King".
Looking back, of these three events, only the one involving the "unending murmur" posed a significant risk... no, actually the risk wasn't as great as one might imagine.
Odis suddenly realized that he had been in a hurry those few days. If he really couldn't stop the evil god from descending, he would have run away immediately. The danger was not as great as he had imagined.
Furthermore, the fact that neither the church nor the royal family dispatched angels to resolve the issue indicates that the danger at the time had not yet reached an uncontrollable level.
More importantly, Backlund actually has divine protection...
Thinking about this, Odis said somewhat uncertainly, "I don't think... I don't think I need a 'luck change'."
Then he suddenly realized that not only his own fate had been affected, but some of his ideas had also been affected.
So I never thought of this before.
It wasn't until he attended the Tarot Club and, under the protection of "Source Castle," all the influence he had suffered was eliminated that he thought about this problem.
Of course, the "wilderness of knowledge" had the same effect, but Odis went there either to look up information or to do some mystical research.
He has recently started experimenting with his newly invented "witchcraft" using a "central simulator," and has no time to consider these issues.
Klein, manipulating "The World," nodded: "Okay."
He had no good ideas either. Although the title "Fool" included "King of Yellow and Black who holds good fortune," only he knew that it was just a figurehead.
After their private conversation ended, everyone noticed that the "hermit" was deep in thought and wondered what the two had discussed.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Klein smiled somewhat helplessly. Just now, it was basically the "Hermit" asking and answering his own questions.
He manipulated the "world" and asked, "Does anyone know the whereabouts of the 'mermaid'?"
Just as Klein expected, only Alger the Hanged Man said, "I've heard that traces of 'mermaids' have been found deep in the Sunia Sea."
"The World" nodded; this was similar to the answer he had received from Miss Sharon.
Then Klein manipulated "The World" to say to "The Hermit": "I want to trade information about 'Red Angel' Medici, including the whereabouts of his descendants."
During his mission with Miss Sharon last week, he encountered a Fourth Age evil spirit who mentioned some information about Medici and Medici's descendants.
Klein was eager to verify the authenticity of that intelligence.
Odis, who had been pondering who had influenced her, snapped out of her thoughts: "Hmm, okay, same price as before, 800 pounds."
"The World" nodded and looked at the other members: "Does anyone else want to join the deal?"
"Me!" Audrey was the first to raise her hand. "I'm willing to pay £150 to join this deal."
This was another piece of information about an "Angel King," which she certainly wouldn't miss.
"And me," Fors said, "I used the 'Spiritual Realm Observations'…"
"The World" coldly interrupted Miss "Magician's" wishful thinking: "I only accept cash payments."
Fors was intimidated by the "world's" imposing manner: "Fine...okay, then I...um, I mean, I won't join the deal."
£150 was a huge sum of money for her.
Although her current savings, plus the 200 pounds she just earned from Miss Justice, amount to a total of 900 pounds, at the Sequence 7 level, 900 pounds simply won't last long.
"You can join this deal for 80 pounds," "The World" added, "but you can't ask questions."
Even a small amount of money is still money to him; if the "magician" earns an extra 80 pounds, he can save 80 pounds.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Although Klein is currently quite wealthy, thrift is a virtue for him.
Fors was still a little reluctant to part with the money, but she didn't dare to refuse "the world's" invitation: "Okay, okay."
Alger then added, "I'll also contribute 150 pounds to the deal."
He only needs to set aside money to buy one "main material" and has some savings to satisfy his curiosity.
When it was finally Derrick's turn, Odis said, "I can help you pay for joining this deal."
Then he said to "The World": "Give me a total of 650 pounds."
Derrick did not refuse: "Thank you, Mr. Hermit."
"World" nodded and said, "No problem."
After agreeing on how to pay the fee, everyone looked at the "hermit".
"Like the 'Angel of Fate,' the 'Red Angel' Medici was also one of the earlier angels to follow the 'Ancient Sun God,'" Odis said. "The Second Age was a very chaotic era, and it is very far removed from our time."
"Information about some of the ancient gods from that time is now rather vague, and information about the angels at that time is almost entirely blank."
"So I don't know where Medici's origins lie. Is he a subordinate of the ancient gods? Or has he always acted alone?"
"However, according to some intelligence, He seems to be a mythical being born, meaning that He was born as an angel."
Klein thought to himself: It's already quite good that we've come this far.
Alger exclaimed: "Born an angel... Ah, what a lucky life!"
The other members also expressed varying degrees of amazement, after all, in their memory, they had never seen anyone who was "born an angel," let alone "born a demigod."
Odis continued, "This should have been quite common in the Second Age, as we have previously discussed, where excess extraordinary pathways could be eliminated through reproduction."
"Especially at the angel level, they already have a certain ability to choose which part of the characteristics to expel, so Medici may have been born by expelling extraordinary characteristics."
Klein smiled to himself, thinking: It's commonly known as "a free gift with a potion."
"His experience was similar to that of the 'Angel of Fate'," Odis continued. "Nothing about Him was left behind in the Second and Third Ages, when angels were as numerous as clouds."
"At the end of the Third Age, Medici also joined the 'Redemption Rose' and did not leave the organization during the Fourth Age."
Klein frowned: Two "Angel Kings" had already joined this organization. Could it be an organization established by angels and "Angel Kings" who served the "Ancient Sun God"? Was their goal to overthrow the "Ancient Sun God"? But... did they have any hope of success?
Derrick bluntly asked, "Mr. Hermit, what exactly is the 'Redemption Rose' organization?"
He had wanted to ask during the last round of trading, but he hadn't found the opportunity.
The other members also had their own guesses and were very curious about it.
Odis smiled and said, "This is a piece of information I just received while gathering intelligence about the fall of the ancient sun god."
"In my opinion, just knowing the list of members of this organization is already more valuable than the information about the 'King of Angels'."
"Therefore, I cannot explain what kind of organization this is for free. You just need to know that it is a very powerful organization that originated in the Tertiary period."
Alger exclaimed: This must be another amazing piece of intelligence!
Fors thought to himself, "Even if Mr. Hermit does nothing, he can support himself by selling information."
Odis continued, "In the Fourth Age, the experiences of this 'King of Angels' became quite remarkable."
"First, two competitors emerged, namely Soren and Einhorn."
Klein, who was behind the gray fog, made a connection and immediately manipulated "The World" to ask: "Is it the former royal family of Intis? And the current royal family of the Fursac Empire?"
Audrey also recalled that, as a noblewoman, knowing about other noble families was one of the first lessons to learn. She had certainly heard of the now-declining Soren family and the current royal family of the Fussac Empire, the Einhorn family.
But knowing this didn't quell her surprise: she hadn't expected that both families could be traced back to the Quaternary Period, or even earlier.
However, she then realized that this was not surprising, since this was a world dominated by the extraordinary, and the rulers of this world should also be a powerful extraordinary force.
Fors was hearing about this for the first time, and all she could feel was astonishment.
Then she smiled somewhat helplessly: just knowing this information is worth 80 pounds.
"Yes," Odis continued, "In the Fourth Age, Medici had to serve the Solomon Empire for a period of time, along with his two rivals."
"After the collapse of the Solomon Empire, a new era of governance began."
"At this point, Medici, who had been plotting for a long time, finally began to act. He used a conspiracy to lure Soren and Einhorn to Backlund..."
Audrey was slightly taken aback, thinking she had misheard: "Backlund?"
"Yes, the city of Backlund existed during the Quaternary period," Odis replied.
He said, "Just as He was killing two opponents and performing the ritual to ascend to true godhood, He was murdered by a conspirator and perished somewhere in Backlund."
