Hobert remembered that the descendants of the Underworld Emperor did seem to be divided into many factions, among which the "Royalist Faction" and the "Artificial Death God Faction" were the strongest and most famous.
It seemed there were also smaller factions such as the "Sleeping Faction" and the "Underworld Faction," which was a typical consequence of not having a real leader or a spiritual leader.
Like a competent king, he must set a goal that most people in the country can accept and are willing to work towards, and then the prime minister, nobles, and officials all work towards this goal.
This way, everyone has something to strive for, and even if there are some conflicts, there is a higher tolerance for errors.
The situation of the Eggers family clearly lacked a goal that everyone could accept. The nobles, prime minister, and officials all had their own ideas, and over time, they naturally began to divide into factions.
Now it seems that within the Eggers family, there are still people like Dophis who hope that the family can reunite and revitalize.
Hobert did not continue to inquire about the Eggers family's situation. He just smiled and said, "I dare not promise you anything, because I know that predictions like this may only be off by a little bit, but the reality can have huge deviations."
Dophis nodded: "I know, even if I misjudge again, I won't blame you."
Hobert smiled: "Be optimistic, maybe this time it's right?"
He didn't continue the topic: "Okay, then Mr. Dophis, from now on, you are my butler."
He took out all the banknotes from his wallet, about 300 pounds: "First, help me thank the servants sent by the royal family, and decide how much to give as a thank-you fee.
"Then start hiring servants for me. Well, next week I want to hold a small tea party, a friendly one, no need to be too grand, help me prepare."
Dophis took the money and said: "This money is not enough.
"Recently, I did some research. A count's mansion needs 60 to 200 servants, but if there are only 60 servants, people will think that the count's finances are in trouble, but 200 servants are too extravagant.
"So, a normal count's mansion usually hires 120 to 150 servants, and there is also the manor bestowed by the king, which also needs at least 30 to 50 people to manage.
"You also need to hire an accountant and two cashiers to record the output of the manor, as well as the rent or harvest that the farmers in the manor need to pay."
Generally speaking, the grapes, vegetables, cattle, and sheep in the manor are directly managed by the count's mansion.
However, the area of this kind of manor bestowed by the royal family must be small, and there will be a lot of cultivated land, and generally the cultivated land in this kind of manor is very fertile.
In the past, it was popular for counts to hire farmers to cultivate the land, paying the farmers a fixed salary every year, and all the output belonged to the count's mansion.
But this quickly led to a new problem, because it was a fixed income, everyone had no motivation, and the yield of the farmland was not as good as ordinary land.
So now it is popular for farmers to rent the count's farmland for cultivation, giving a certain rent or handing in a certain proportion of the harvest every year.
Calculated, the count's mansion had more income than before, so this method quickly became popular in the manors of the nobles.
"Of course I know." Hobert smiled wryly: "I'll give you another 5,000 pounds later."
Dophis nodded: "I will take out some of the money to repair the count's mansion again."
Hobert thought that there would be two hundred more mouths waiting to eat every day in the future. He couldn't help but sigh deeply, but in the end he could only say: "You can handle it."
Thinking that Longtail Island would have an income of about 50,000 pounds a year, Hobert's mood improved a lot. Overall, this deal was still profitable.
After Dophis went out to work, Hobert locked the door of the reception room, first took out 5,000 pounds in cash from the "Nation of Disorder," and then opened the map given by the king to check the location of Longtail Island.
This island is in the eastern part of the Rorsted Archipelago, not very far from the eastern route of the route to the Southern Continent. It is about two and a half days' voyage from Blue Mountain Island, where Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, is located. This is not too far at sea, nor is it remote.
Hobert nodded. The location of the fief was good. At least it wasn't a place where birds don't lay eggs.
Then he measured the area of Longtail Island, and to his surprise, this island was more than a dozen times the size of South Colson! But it can only generate 50,000 pounds of revenue per year?
Immediately, Hobert understood that these colonial islands generally carry out resource plundering, such as minerals, wood, etc. Selling minerals can sell 50,000 pounds, which is still a good income.
After reading the map, Hobert sat in the chair and fell into deep thought. He was going to find an opportunity to inspect his territory.
Selling resources is too low-end. He still has to develop manufacturing or tourism.
Don't even think about developing tourism there. It takes at least ten days to reach from Backlund by boat, if you don't encounter bad weather on the way. Most middle-class people only have two or three weeks of annual leave, so it is impossible to travel so far.
As for developing manufacturing, it is not easy. The products produced can only be sold to the Southern Continent, because if they are sold back to the Northern Continent, it will not be cost-effective due to shipping costs.
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled. He should go and see before making any decisions.
...
In the eastern part of the Sonia Sea, in a ruin of a battle of gods.
Klein left the "Future" and the protection of the brilliant starry sea, stepped on a small boat, and placed himself in the ocean.
The mermaid's song came faintly, as if it directly penetrated his spiritual body, making him numb and uncontrollably wanting to hear more.
For Klein, the degree of the song was far from enough. His spirituality told him that he had to get a little closer and make the song clearer to meet the needs of the ritual.
He used the "Sailor" pathway's talisman to push the small boat forward. After sailing for a while, the mermaid's song suddenly became louder, as clear as if it were right next to Klein's ear.
Klein was in a trance for a moment, almost jumping into the sea, swimming towards the source of this beautiful song.
He tried his best to control himself and found many reefs ahead, and figures were chanting softly on the edge.
These creatures have human heads, with a bit of beauty in their pure eyebrows. Their lower bodies are huge fish tails, rhythmically beating the reefs.
Klein quickly took out the potion and drank it in one gulp amidst the singing.
Suddenly, Klein found himself becoming abnormally stiff, just like when he was manipulated by the strange wooden puppet of the Sealed Artifact "2-049".
His thoughts began to slow down, gradually giving up the idea of regaining control of himself.
At this time, the mermaid's song came, allowing Klein to maintain his last emotions, and with the help of the song's temptation, he gradually got rid of the stiff and slow state.
A few minutes later, Klein completely recovered. He first felt the usage and effect of the spirit body threads, and then suddenly discovered: "In theory, there should also be a copy of the 'Seer' to 'Faceless' Beyonder characteristics in this Beyonder characteristic!
"I was ready to deal with the mental pressure brought by the extra Beyonder characteristics, but why can't I feel their existence at all?
"Could it be because my previous acting was too good, so I instantly digested the extra potion?"
Klein carefully felt his previous abilities. Apart from the enhancement brought about by the advancement, there was no strengthening in any other aspects, which made him feel even more incomprehensible.
...
Because the nobles were all in their fiefs at this time, there were not many social balls that needed to be attended, which gave Hobert more time to start sorting out his plans to return to Backlund.
However, South Colson could not be left unattended, so Hobert rested on Sunday morning and came to Baron Felix's mansion in the afternoon using "Travel."
Fors saw Hobert and gave him a warm hug. She looked at Hobert seriously: "It's good that you're okay."
"Of course I'm okay." Hobert kissed Fors' forehead: "How is the situation in the territory?"
"I heard Allen say that Bishop Simpson has been watching the people from the royal family." Fors said: "The operation in the territory is normal, and no one has been harmed."
Hobert nodded. The effect of the "Demon Hunter" Beyonder characteristics given earlier was still good: "It is impossible for the royal family's demigods to stay here all the time. On Monday, I noticed that many of the Castiya family's demigods were killed and injured. Now they should be very short of demigod-level combat power."
He said seriously: "However, after the royal family recovers from this disaster, they will definitely make some arrangements to bypass the church and target Jeffrey's territory. At that time, it will be another crisis."
Fors sighed: "The people of South Colson finally had a few good days."
Hobert also smiled helplessly. Thanks to his increasingly close connection with the Earth Mother Church, his industry in South Colson was guaranteed with the protection of the church.
However, the jurisdiction of the South Colson area may still have to be taken back by the royal family.
This is also the reason why Hobert returned to the territory. He planned to have Conrad complete the control of the East Coast as soon as possible, and completely incorporate it into Jeffrey's rule before the royal family reacted.
Hobert will then be able to basically digest the potion. When the time comes, he will give the jurisdiction to the Feynapotter royal family. After all, this is the territory of the Feynapotter Kingdom, and the church can only protect Hobert's property.
As for Conrad and the group of honed administrative staff, Hobert had already thought about where they would go. The territory granted to him by the Loen Kingdom needs a group of people he can trust to work.
Thinking of this, Hobert smiled and said, "King George III has granted me an island. Have Conrad, Philip, Angus, and Helen prepare. Next Tuesday, we'll go and take a look at our new territory."
Fors was slightly taken aback: "Do you plan to move all the people from here to that island?"
"I…" Hobert was stunned: "It's not impossible, but it'll have to wait until the project here is finished."
"Don't worry, the industries here can definitely be preserved. It's not difficult for the Church of the Earth Mother to do that."
"The Feynapotter royal family may rely more on the Church in the next few years and won't fall out with the Church over a property worth hundreds of thousands of gold Lire."
When the time comes, we can open a 'Traveler's Gate' between Longtail Island and here. With Bishop Simpson's cover, there won't be a problem no matter how many people want to go over.
After settling on the time to inspect the new territory, Hobert dealt with the accumulated government affairs in the territory. In the evening, he met with Grove at the usual place.
After learning that Viscount Teuton had just begun to digest the "Judge" potion, Hobert couldn't help but frown and said, "Too slow!"
If it were in the past, he could have prepared slowly.
But now, there may be significant changes in the future, so he must seize the time.
Then, Hobert asked, "Have you found a chance to tell Teuton that he has a chance to advance to Sequence 5?"
"I found an opportunity." Grove said, "I said that someone was originally going to sell Beyonder characteristics at the Jeffrey Territory's auction house, but he took the wrong road and happened to be met by me. During the chat, after learning that the other party had an Beyonder characteristic from the 'Arbiter' pathway, I kept him here, and we are currently negotiating the price."
Grove smiled and said, "I'll find an opportunity to tell Teuton that that person actually obtained an Beyonder characteristic of a 'Disciplinary Knight' by chance. I believe Teuton will sell everything he has, even embezzle public funds, to buy it."
Hobert nodded in satisfaction: "Tell Teuton that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Before the King's people come, if he can eliminate the Aurora Order's forces, he will have the opportunity to be named an Earl."
"But before that, he must advance to Sequence 5 to have the strength to drive away the Aurora Order's people."
He took out the Beyonder characteristic and a piece of Order Crystal that he had prepared long ago: "This crystal can make people less prone to losing control. It is a very high-level mystical item."
"Tell Teuton that even if he hasn't completely mastered the Sequence 6 potion, he can use this crystal to try to advance."
Grove took the crystal with both hands: "Yes."
"I've been made an Earl." Hobert finally said, "In the new territory, I need many people I trust to manage it."
This sentence was telling Grove: Do a good job for me, and I can still give your family wealth and glory.
Returning to Baron Felix's lord's mansion, Hobert first showed affection to Fors, and then talked about the battle that took place in Feynapotter City on Monday.
Hobert told Fors more information, such as that there had been battles at the angel level there, but of course, the matter of the corpse of the Ancient Death God could not be said.
Fors was so surprised that her little mouth was open for a long time. She never thought that Hobert could encounter such a dangerous battle, but fortunately, Hobert returned safely.
Then the two talked about the future of the territory. Hobert always felt it was a pity to give up the governance here, after all, this was the territory he had built up bit by bit.
But giving it up was necessary. After all, he and Christian had caused Philip I's attempt to accommodate the Uniqueness to fail, and Ferdinand II would not allow Hobert's power to exist in the Kingdom of Feynapotter.
… …
The next morning, Hobert returned to Backlund. At three o'clock in the afternoon, he attended the Tarot Gathering on time.
The tide-like gray fog covered Hobert's vision. He appeared again at the Tarot Gathering venue, which was like a giant's hall, sitting on one side of the bronze long table.
Everyone was slightly stunned and immediately noticed two differences from the last gathering.
First, "The Emperor" was not absent this time, and second, "The World's" temperament seemed to have changed, no longer as lifeless as before.
Hobert immediately realized: "The Creator's" ally, the mysterious Mr. Fool, has finally advanced to Sequence 5!
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" "Justice" Audrey's greeting sounded as usual.
This was already a fixed part, indicating the official start of the Tarot Gathering.
When the greeting was over, "The Fool" Klein looked at "The Hermit" Cattleya. He chuckled and said, "Tell Bernadette that she can exchange some answers for certain things."
When Cattleya heard this familiar name, she knew that her little thoughts could not be hidden from Him at all. Obviously, Mr. Fool already knew everything!
This made her feel very heavy, and she could not help but feel a strong sense of fear.
Audrey had been in a good mood these few days, but today Mr. Fool suddenly issued such a reminder, which made her immediately realize that the name Bernadette must not be simple.
Hobert: Idlers get out of the way, it's Mr. Fool's time to show off!
The others, for a while, did not realize what the name Bernadette represented.
Among them, "The Sun" Derrick vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, so he asked curiously: "Mr. Fool, who is Bernadette?"
Well asked! Klein secretly praised, and replied casually: "Roselle's eldest daughter, the owner of the 'Dawn,' the leader of the Element Dawn."
The name Bernadette was not a secret more than a hundred years ago, and now many ordinary people know that this is the name of Emperor Roselle's eldest daughter.
But most people would think of her as a historical figure, so even "The Hanged Man" Alger did not make the relevant associations for a while.
Hearing Mr. Fool say this, the happiest person was Alger: "Queen Mystic"! Ha, "The Hermit", I can confirm that you are "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya! So the rumors that you broke with the "Queen Mystic" are false!
He felt that the suppression he had suffered in the past three months had disappeared all at once.
Audrey, combined with Mr. Fool's reminder and the Hermit's reaction, probably understood what was going on: The answer that the "Queen Mystic" wants to obtain is in Roselle's diary?
Then she realized: That is to say, the Hermit secretly revealed a little bit about our Tarot Gathering to that "Queen Mystic" by means of hints! Really, how can you reveal the affairs of the gathering to others? I didn't even tell Susie!
Audrey almost forgot her image and etiquette education and puffed up her cheeks.
The others probably understood what was going on. While Fors was worried that the existence of the Tarot Gathering would be leaked, she had already instantly conceived a story of spies and counter-spies.
Emlyn watched gloatingly, thinking that "The Hermit" was simply stupid: Even our Sanguine's Ancestor treats Mr. Fool with an equal attitude and sent me, this special envoy, to be cultivated. You, a demigod, actually want to make small moves under the gaze of Mr. Fool! Sure enough, I can't understand some of the thoughts of the "Short-lived species."
Perhaps only Derrick, Hobert, and "The World" did not show any worry.
Derrick was because in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods", even if the members of the Northern Continent were exposed, he would not be in too much danger.
Hobert was deeply impressed by this matter and knew the development of the subsequent plot.
As for "The World", he would not have his own ideas until a long time later.
The hall was quiet for a few seconds before Cattleya regained her ability to think from the emotion of fear, turned to look at the head of the bronze long table and said: "Yes, I made some mistakes, I will not defend myself."
"Mr. Fool, no matter how you punish me, even kill me, I am willing to accept."
Alger sneered: Hypocritical, if Mr. Fool wants to punish you, can you still resist?
Audrey tasted the underlying fear of the other party from the subtle movements and tone of "The Hermit".
In her opinion, people who specially emphasize that they are willing to be executed are often very afraid of dying.
Fors regained her composure from the "Fool's" indifferent and calm attitude, believing that the situation of the Tarot Gathering should not have been leaked, or that the leaked part was insignificant.
So, like "The Moon" Emlyn, she was waiting with some curiosity and expectation to see what kind of punishment Mr. Fool would make.
Seeing that Mr. Fool was silent for a short time, Cattleya restrained her uneasy mood, raised her head slightly, and observed this existence behind the thick gray fog without leaving a trace, trying to grasp the other party's true intentions so as to make a more prepared and correct response, so as not to make mistakes again and make the situation irreversible.
Her black eyes floated with a mysterious look, seeing through the gray fog and seeing "The Fool".
Suddenly, Cattleya's eyes became hot, and illusory blood flowed out.
At the same time, she heard an eerie, terrifying, and depraved terrifying roar in her ears, which instantly occupied her senses with extreme pain, and her body appeared uncontrollable convulsions and tremors.
Immediately afterwards, cracks that could see flesh and blood quickly opened on her face, the back of her hands, and the uncovered parts of her clothes, forming indescribable eyes inside!
Cattleya's screams echoed above the gray fog, and the other members saw the changes in "The Hermit's" body.
The disgusting and hideous scene frightened Audrey to immediately withdraw her gaze, and Alger, Fors, and others also lowered their heads, seemingly directly feeling "The Hermit's" pain.
Klein behind the gray fog sighed: The True Creator's mutterings are indeed useful.
Although Hobert also lowered his head, he was thinking at this time: I still have the "Blessing" of the "Devil Monarch", but unfortunately it doesn't have such an effect?
Two seconds later, Klein stopped while he was ahead, silently using the gray fog to suppress the ravings of the "True Creator," and calming the abnormality of "Hermit" Cattleya.
The trembling of "Admiral of Stars" began to subside at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Alger said in a low voice: "One must not gaze directly at a god!"
This sentence made the other members realize a fact: although Mr. Fool usually had no airs, rarely spoke, and almost always granted requests, He was still a god.
In the extraordinary world, there is a common understanding: one must not gaze directly at the gods who are high above and far beyond reality!
Only Hobert thought to himself: "Commissar Downfall's" nickname is truly well-deserved, a single sentence elevated the entire punishment process!
Klein saw that today was also a good opportunity to knock on the other members, and he was satisfied with this effect, so he said blandly: "Let's leave it at that."
Ever since "Emperor" joined the Tarot Club, "The Fool" had felt a lot of pressure, especially since "Emperor" knew too much, greatly reducing "The Fool's" sense of existence.
However, "Emperor's" attitude had always been relatively respectful, and Klein couldn't find a reason to knock on him, so today was a good opportunity to demonstrate "The Fool's" unshakable position.
Hearing this sentence, Cattleya, whose spiritual body had just recovered, breathed a sigh of relief: "I will remember your generosity."
Klein in the gray fog nodded slightly, and this matter came to an end.
After a full ten seconds of silence in the hall, Hobert cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, I wonder if anyone has inquired about the marrow of the six-legged imp monster that I need?"
The silence of everyone made Hobert unable to help but frown: This is going to be fun, the ritual is almost ready, and one auxiliary ingredient is still missing!
Hobert pinched his forehead and suddenly thought: Archibald said before that he knew the whereabouts of a six-legged imp, should I go hunt it? It's just that going to hunt a Beyonder creature that already has a little divinity for an auxiliary Ingredient is a bit ridiculous.
After a few seconds, Audrey raised her hand slightly and said: "I hope to obtain the complete pituitary gland of a young Mind Dragon, or the spinal fluid of a Black Hunting Basilisk and a fruit of the Psychedelic Wind Chime Tree."
By helping the Psychology Alchemists obtain a knight's notes from the "War, of the Violated Oath" she had already obtained the Sequence 6 "Hypnotist" potion formula.
Cattleya said: "Since the Fifth Epoch, Mind Dragons have been nearly extinct, and are difficult to find.
"I have a way to get the spinal fluid of the Black Hunting Basilisk, but it will take two to three weeks.
"I will help you inquire about the fruit of the Psychedelic Wind Chime, but I can't guarantee any news."
Alger, who was watching, suddenly felt that the development of the matter was different from what he had expected. "Hermit," who had been knocked on and punished by Mr. Fool, was more deeply involved in the Tarot Club's transactions.
This made him inexplicably have a strong sense of crisis again. At this moment, he hoped that "Hermit" would return to her previous state.
Klein was also a little surprised: I thought "Hermit" would be depressed for a while because of this, could it be that she is the type who doesn't listen unless you hit her? Well, educating children requires hitting them, the Queen was hit too little… The Queen's style of doing things isn't very good either, the Great Emperor was also hit too little.
While complaining in his heart, Klein manipulated "The World" and said: "Who among you has the Sequence 4 potion formula or clues for the 'Seer' pathway?"
Audrey was a little excited: Following "Emperor," "The World" is also about to move towards the demigod level? Perhaps in the near future, there will be two demigod members in the Tarot Club!
Hobert saw that everyone was silent and said: "As far as I know, only the Secret Order has the most complete potions for the 'Seer' pathway. The Church of the Evernight Goddess should also have them, but I don't know if they have the Sequence 4 potion formula.
"In addition, you can also start with the Zaratul family and the Antigonus family, but to a certain extent, the Zaratul family is equivalent to the Secret Order, and in today's world, the whereabouts of the Antigonus family members also seem to be difficult to find."
This made Hobert suddenly think: My black hound spirit beast is still in Foggy Town! Should I take me with you when you go to Foggy Town?
"The World" nodded and said: "Thank you for your reminder."
He thought of Antigonus's notes. It seems that this is the only way he can come into contact with the potion formula.
After a few seconds of silence, Cattleya opened her mouth and said: "I need a drop of blood from a mythical creature, no matter what mythical creature."
Everyone became silent again. Fors and Emlyn and other members felt that today's transactions seemed very far away from them.
Audrey thought to herself: I forgot about Ms. Hermit. She was already a Sequence 5 when she joined the Tarot Club, so she must be preparing to advance to a demigod.
Klein manipulated "The World" and said: "I will keep an eye out."
Given that this was Ms. Hermit's rare request, Audrey and others also made similar responses.
Only Hobert did not make a similar promise. At this time, he was diverging his thoughts and thinking: With my relationship with the Earth Mother Church, theoretically speaking, I should be able to obtain a drop of the church's angel's blood. If I pray to the Goddess, I might also be able to obtain a drop of blood from an angel of the "Sleepless" pathway. There are also the angels of the Loen royal family. If I can obtain something that Duke Southville likes, it wouldn't be difficult to ask for a drop of his blood. It's just that these bloods are not Ms. Hermit's first choice.
Emlyn cleared his throat and said: "I hope you can help me find these 'Primordial Moon' believers. For every valid clue, I will pay 100 pounds, and 500 pounds for a direct lock!"
By making a request to The Fool, he had manifested the information of five people, all with the strength of Sequence 7.
This was a competition issued by the Sanguine's Great Nibbs. Whoever hunts the most "Artificial Sanguine" will receive an Ancestor's Ring.
After everyone said they would help "The Moon" pay attention, the trading session temporarily ended and entered the free exchange session.
"Little Sun" lived up to expectations and brought information that everyone was interested in: "During this time, I followed the exploration team led by the 'Chief' to Afternoon Town.
"This is the only way to 'Giant King's Court', the gate that divides mythology and reality."
Derrick omitted the less important experiences along the way and started directly from Afternoon Town, realistically describing the gray and silent appearance there, and then talked about the process of his team discovering the underground altar.
In the underground chamber with the secret altar, he distinguished the names of Ouroboros, Medici, and Sasrir, and unknowingly entered the other side of the town, seeing the title of "Dark Angel" and the phrase "Rose Redemption."
Speaking of this, he once again thanked Mr. Fool for helping him out of trouble.
Then, Derrick briefly introduced that his shadow had turned into a monster, and that in a collapsing church, he encountered a clergyman who kept repenting.
He knew that this confession was very important, so he repeated the content of the confession verbatim: "Almighty Lord, I confess… seduced Sasrir, and the kings frequently went to the palace belonging to dusk to conspire.
"The people of this town have also changed at some point. They set up secret altars, hold strange rituals, and do all kinds of things that you do not allow.
"I discovered all this, but it was too late. Depravity, blood, darkness, decay, killing, filth, and shadows have been flowing and engulfing this land.
"A great disaster will begin here!"
Everyone's minds appeared in a dark environment, a broken temple with a clergyman praying, just thinking about it was terrifying.
Hobert thought to himself, even if the clergyman said "Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose" at this time, it would be scary enough. No, that seems scarier than confession!
"Great Cataclysm!" Alger suddenly seemed to realize this, and said as if to remind everyone.
The other members were slightly stunned and agreed with "Hanged Man's" guess in their hearts.
"We think so too." Derrick said: "Of course, that was a later guess.
"After clearly hearing the clergyman's prayer, the Chief asked three questions: Who are the kings? What does the great disaster refer to? Who seduced Sasrir."
"The clergyman said 'The kings are Sasrir, Ouroboros, Medici…', when he said this, a stream of transparent flames suddenly burst out of his body, burning him into a cloud of black gas."
Everyone then understood that "Kings" referred to "Kings of Angels!"
After Derrick finished talking about his experience, he suddenly asked the head of the bronze long table: "Mr. Fool, may I ask who seduced 'Dark Angel' Sasrir?"
The smile behind the gray fog almost froze: Not me again? How would I know?
Fortunately, when he helped Derrick recover from the strange state before, he realized that "Little Sun" might ask such a question, so he made some preparations in advance. At the moment, he smiled meaningfully: "Because it is secret."
Hobert was slightly stunned: You know that the Evernight Goddess is involved? That's right, in fact, "Little Sun's" experience has very clearly pointed to the Evernight Goddess, as a former Nighthawk, it is normal for Klein to have associations.
Alger thought: Which names are themselves equal to secrets? Sequence 0 level True Gods?
Cattleya also associated with the relevant authority of the "Evernight Goddess", but she was not very sure of her judgment, because Mr. Fool's reminder was too vague.
The other Tarot Club members also fell into contemplation, but then they looked at "Emperor" again.
Similar things have happened more than once. The Fool gives hints, but the hints are too vague, and perhaps only the knowledgeable "Emperor" in the Tarot Club can interpret them.
Seeing everyone looking over, Hobert smiled and said, "Mr. Fool's hint is already very obvious, 'Secrecy'. Doesn't everyone associate it with the 'Mother of Concealment'?"
That's right, what that clergyman said was about the Evernight Goddess, because She herself represents 'Secrecy', so in many things that need to be kept secret, people find it difficult to say Her name."
Everyone nodded almost in unison: Similar to what I guessed.
Only Klein behind the gray fog thought: Actually, I'm not sure either, but it's safer to say that, maybe there are other reasons, but in the final analysis, it's all 'Secrecy'.
"Little Sun" then asked: "Mr. Emperor, why did the Evernight Goddess seduce Sasrir? What are the Kings of Angels plotting again?"
Hobert thought for a moment before saying: "Since you have already investigated this far, the time is ripe to trade some information about the 'Great Cataclysm'."
"8,000 pounds, that's my asking price. I will use the information I know to analyze the clergyman's prayer and announce the list of the first members of the 'Rose Redemption'."
Audrey immediately reacted: "Mr. Emperor, is this part of the 20,000-pound information you mentioned before?"
"Yes," Hobert said, "I have already released information about the Kings of Angels before, which can be regarded as some basic information, just to help everyone understand 'Sun's' question just now."
The information of the eight Kings of Angels is actually just basic information!
Audrey immediately said, "I offer 2,000 pounds!"
Everyone also joined the transaction. The crowdfunding ended quickly. Audrey paid 2,000 pounds for this, and "Little Sun" paid 8 Beyonder ingredients of Sequence 8 level, replacing 2,000 pounds.
Then, Cattleya and Fors each paid 1,000 pounds, and Alger, Emlyn, and "The World" bore the last 2,000 pounds, each paying 700 pounds.
Currently, Audrey, Fors, and Cattleya have the best financial situation among the Tarot Club members. They either have a good background, a good husband, or a high enough status, so they don't take spending one or two thousand pounds seriously.
Secondly, there are Klein and Alger. After Klein left the "Future," he just hunted the "Slaughterer" Kircheis, the first mate on the "King of immortality's" flagship, and is now very wealthy.
Alger, on the other hand, stayed on the island he discovered with "Emperor" for three days last week, hunting 7 Beyonder creatures one after another, and the Beyonder ingredients and spiritual materials he obtained were worth six to seven thousand pounds. Although he has not sold them all yet, he believes that his savings are enough to buy the Sequence 5 formula and Beyonder characteristics.
The poorest are "Little Sun" and Emlyn. However, because of the special environment in which "Little Sun" is located, he is indeed relatively poor in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods", but the resources he possesses make him relatively wealthy in the Tarot Club. Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party is willing to accept Beyonder ingredients as payment.
As for Emlyn, he is really poor. Of course, the collection in his bedroom is valuable, but he would never sell it even if he was beaten to death.
After the crowdfunding ended, everyone looked at "Emperor."
The 5,000-pound level of information was already enough to surprise them. What content would the 8,000-pound level of information have?
Hobert first pondered which information should be said and which should not be said.
Then he said unhurriedly: "The reason why this information has extremely high value is because it is secret enough, and unlike the information about Trunsoest that we traded last time, it has a lot of my speculation.
This time, I can tell everyone very clearly about the information we are trading. I just happen to know the truth about this matter through certain channels.
However, what I need to warn everyone is that you must never spread this information in the real world, otherwise you will definitely be obliterated!"
Everyone suddenly understood that this information might involve some gods, and it is likely to be the disreputable experiences of those gods.
Audrey thought to herself: Could it be that the list of the "Rose Redemption" is more secret than Blood Emperor murdering Medici?
Alger then associated: I understand, what "Emperor" is referring to must be the three Kings of Angels who later became True Gods. To be precise, the churches of the three True Gods will not let go of those who spread this secret information.
After warning everyone, Hobert said: "The members of the 'Rose Redemption' are the Evernight Goddess and the Dark Angel, as well as the Earth Mother, the God of Combat, the God of the Undead, and the God of Spiritual Creatures, as well as the Red Angel, the Angel of Fate, the Pure White Angel, the Angel of Wisdom, and the Wind Angel."
The hall was silent for a full three seconds before Klein behind the gray fog closed his mouth that had opened in surprise: Holy crap, what kind of immortal lineup is this? What do the members of the "Rose Redemption" want to do? Destroy the entire universe?
