Chapter 594: The World's Commission

Thankfully, The World didn't have the ability to blush red. As long as

he wasn't controlled, there was no change to his state.

He chuckled darkly.

"Another few more days."

Audrey nodded with a reserved attitude and didn't rush him. This was

because Susie didn't express any desire in advancing anytime soon. After

all, she was only a dog.

The Hanged Man, The Moon, and The Sun had just advanced a few days ago,

so they were in the stage of converging their spirituality and

practicing their new Beyonder powers. They had no desire to purchase the

subsequent potion formulas or corresponding Sanguine inheritance. They

calmly waited until the transaction phase came to an end.

Besides, they didn't have spare cash. Although Alger had "lowered" the

price Emlyn White had to pay for the Sanguine Baron inheritance to 4,300

pounds and 300 pounds in commission, allowing him to earn 1,400 pounds,

he had spent quite a bit on the Whip of Mind. All he had left was 1,445

pounds.

After purchasing the Sanguine Baron inheritance, new dolls, and doll

dresses, he still had 2,300 pounds in savings. Although it seemed like a

sizable amount, the subsequent ingredients were that of a Sanguine

Viscount. It would cost at least 8,000 pounds. As for Derrick, he had

exchanged all his merit points that he had previously accumulated, and

he was waiting to be sent out for a patrolling or exploration mission.

Fors and Audrey were similarly not seeking to purchase the potion

formulas of the subsequent Sequences since they could obtain them from

their own resource channels. Furthermore, there was no need to hide it

or waste money at the Tarot Club. Audrey simply wasn't too nitpicky when

it came to money; it didn't mean she was dumb.

On the other hand, Cattleya was still observing and wasn't in a rush to

reveal what she needed. On the other hand, she didn't believe that the

other Tarot Club members apart from Mr. Fool could provide anything she

needed. After all, to a pirate admiral who had advanced to Sequence 5

for years, what she desired most was the level of demigod. Therefore,

she only looked calmly at The Sun and the others, with her slightly dark

purple eyes, and without making any attempts at speaking.

Klein thought for a moment and controlled The World to add, "Is anyone

able to obtain a mystical item with very potent offensive strength?"

The target of his question was directed at The Hermit. This was because

only Admiral of Stars, who had traveled the seas for so many years,

could satisfy his request. Even The Hanged Man and the that Artisan he

knew couldn't do it unless he could provide them with a corresponding

Sequence 6 or even a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic.

Cattleya fell silent for two seconds before slowly shaking her head.

"If something similar appears at the Beyonder gatherings I participate

in, I'll help you take note."

All these years, she had killed several Beyonders and had indeed

obtained a certain number of Beyonder characteristics and mystical

items, but they were either rewarded to her pirate subordinates, or she

had exchanged them for two powerful items that greatly enhanced her

strength and survivability. She didn't have anything to spare.

Furthermore, she needed the two items and wouldn't sell them before she

advanced to the level of demigod.

*From the looks of it, Admiral of Stars isn't a well-to-do person

either. A huge faction implies large expenses...* Klein silently

sighed and made The World thank her with his hoarse voice.

With the transactions quickly coming to an end, he controlled The World

to look at Fors.

"I wish to entrust you with a mission."

"Me?" Fors was a little surprised.

Could it be something like buying a radio transceiver again?

she thought as the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

The World nodded.

"Go to Williams Street, which borders West Borough and Empress Borough,

and circle the place. Do it once every two to three days. Take note of

any abnormalities. If there are any, then inform me immediately."

He didn't use Mr. Fool to bring focus on the matter, as everyone was

already used to it and experienced. Furthermore, beneath Williams Street

was precisely the location of the Tudor family's ruins where the evil

spirit was lingering.

"Abnormality? What would be considered abnormal?" Fors asked, feeling

puzzled and cautious.

*There might be something abnormal about Williams Street in

Backlund?* Audrey was originally not very interested in the

topic, but at that moment, she pricked up her ears and paid close

attention.

She trusted Mr. World's ability to gather intelligence to a great

extent. The Great Smog of Backlund was evidence of his ability!

*West Borough, Empress Borough... Sounds like it's located at Loen's

capital, Backlund... Miss Magician is presently in Backlund? Indeed. She

looks ordinary, but she isn't in any way. To a secret organization,

members in a city are often more powerful in other places... Of course,

she might also be like me---a coincidence of fate because she requested

to be roped in...* Cattleya swept a glance at Fors and quickly

analyzed the information revealed from the conversation.

Alger was suddenly interested since he knew that The World was the

representative of Mr. Fool's Blessed. Whatever he paid attention to had

a high chance of involving a conflict at the upper echelons!

*Just what secret lies within that street named Williams

Street?* Alger couldn't help but try to guess at the deeper

truth.

How would I know what abnormalities there will be... Klein

mumbled before getting The World to answer gloomily, "I believe there

will be sufficient abnormalities.

"I have to warn you that if you really notice anything abnormal, do not

attempt to investigate it on your own or hire someone to do the

investigation. It will be very dangerous.

"How much do you think is an adequate reward?"

Very dangerous... Fors instinctively wished to decline the

mission.

However, considering how immense the influence of the Great Smog of

Backlund was, one that even affected her, she wasn't sure if this

abnormality wouldn't cause her harm. As such, she became hesitant.

After a few seconds, she changed her languid seating posture and said,

"100 pounds."

"Much lower than I imagined." The World chuckled.

Fors spread her hands and said, "It's because it's for myself as well."

*I'll just treat it as "people observation" in order to gather material

for my novel... That's right, I can't stay at home all day. It's time

for me to get out. I have to push forward the matter of acting as a

Trickmaster. Just conjuring tricks to amuse Xio isn't enough to digest

it... How should I act? Join a circus to perform tricks? Or should I do

individual performances at different squares? I don't have to be worried

about how the people I know view me. As an author, life experience is a

basic trait...* Fors's thoughts gradually dispersed.

After settling this matter, Klein made The World turn his head to The

Hanged Man and chuckle darkly.

"I received intel that the Church of Storms has taken action. The matter

at Bansy Harbor has been preliminarily been resolved."

Having been drifting out at sea for the past week, Alger, who hadn't had

any contact with the Church, immediately replied with a solemn voice,

"What's the final outcome?"

"There won't be a Bansy Harbor for some time," The World replied with a

concealed smile.

At this moment, Audrey and company realized what they were talking

about.

That was the place with the ancient name Binsy, and it had the present

name of Bansy!

It was the place where descendants of the King of Angels Medici resided!

*Is Mr. World implying that the Church of Storms has leveled Bansy

Harbor? That's really in their style. That's good too. There's no need

to worry that the innocent there will be corrupted... I wonder if the

King of Angels Medici appeared or escaped. Would the pontiff of the

Church of Storms appear in person, or was a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact

used...* Audrey heaved a sigh of relief as she asked with

brightened eyes, "Mr. World, do you know of the specifics?"

"No, no one knows, other than the upper echelons of the Church of

Storms." The World stole a glance at The Hanged Man.

The Hanged Man fell silent, feeling the burning ambition in his chest

once more.

I want to become a member of the Church's upper echelons! he

emphasized to himself.

The Hermit Cattleya, who had joined the Tarot Gathering a second time,

basically didn't understand what they were talking about.

As a pirate admiral, she was no stranger to Bansy Harbor, but she didn't

know what had happened there. She also had no idea why the Church of

Storms would destroy the place and why it would require a long period of

time to rebuild it.

*It should be a very serious matter that deals with the higher-ups...

The members of the Tarot Club seems to be aware of the reason...

Although their Sequences aren't high, they seem to know a lot and are

involved in many matters... apart from The Sun... This is the reason why

Mr. Fool tacitly agreed to have them establish this gathering? Through

the Tarot Club, they will indirectly influence various matters of

different organizations?* Cattleya once again reevaluated her

understanding of the other members and was increasingly impressed with

them.

She still maintained her silence and didn't inquire. This left Audrey,

who was waiting to flaunt via answering in response to The Hermit's

puzzlement, disappointed.

*Even for Ma'am Hermit, it's unlikely that she'll be involved in matters

regarding a King of Angels. No, she might not even know about the

existence of a King of Angels...* Audrey thought spontaneously.

After talking about the outcome of Bansy Harbor and waiting for a

moment, Emlyn White immediately cleared his throat and said, "Thanks to

Mr. Hanged Man's help, I'm already a Baron.

"I have a question. As a Sanguine, do I need to use the acting method

like you humans do in order to expedite the so-called digestion after

advancing to a Baron, so as to better grasp the Beyonder

characteristic?"

His back was extremely sharp as his neck was slightly elevated while his

chin was slightly tipped upwards.

*I'm sorry. Mr. Fool isn't able to answer this question of yours. But in

theory, it's required. After all, you are using the "inheritance" of

others...* Klein leaned back in his chair and sat amidst the

gray fog as he leisurely looked at the other members of the Tarot Club.

Cattleya scanned her surroundings and said, "A Sanguine Baron

corresponds to the Sequence 6 Potions Professor?"

"Yes," Emlyn replied, unable to hide his smile.

He wasn't stupid. From the previous transactions and interactions, he

had determined the Sequences of the other members apart from The World.

He believed that he was one of the strongest members of the Tarot Club.

Of course, this was excluding Mr. Fool and the recently recruited Ma'am

Hermit.

*Mr. Moon is already at Sequence 6? Why does he seem more immature than

The Sun...* Audrey pursed her lips.

At that moment, Cattleya said, "It requires acting because this pathway

only has the name Vampire at Sequence 7. As for you, you were born in

that state. There's no need to act, but it's required for the other

Sequences."

"Ma'am Hermit, which pathway does that Sequence 7 belong to?" Audrey

blinked her eyes as she curiously asked before Emlyn White could say a

word.
