Chapter 792: The Fool's Authority
The Hermit similarly thought of The World Gehrman Sparrow from hearing
the Beyonder powers which were recorded in Leymano's Travels.
*I wonder if I can pay a certain price to get The Fool to showcase
demigod powers of the Storm pathway as well as "His" domain... This will
be better than seeking the help of the Moses Ascetic Order. That will
make them know of my possession of Leymano's Travels... Hmm, I should
first write to Her Majesty. Perhaps, she will come to the Future to
showcase her powers...* Cattleya was increasingly convinced that
the spellbook had a value that exceeded its level and was very regretful
that Miss Magician was only renting it.
After hearing the description, Emlyn heaved a sigh of relief. This was
because the Beyonder powers like Lightning were very lethal against
artificial vampires.
Of course, it was the same for Sanguine.
*Very good. I was still worried about needing to seek The Sun's help and
passing Leymano's Travels to him to get him to showcase purification
powers to be recorded...* Emlyn instantly became relaxed as he
glanced at Derrick beside him while saying to Fors, "Deal."
400 pounds with the recording of a few Beyonder powers was nothing
compared to the completion of his mission.
*I can earn money quickly and also obtain Beyonder powers this
way...* Fors suddenly felt that her future was bright as she
hurriedly smiled.
"Alright, I'll get Mr. Fool to transfer it to you after the gathering."
Right on the heels of that, she turned to say to Cattleya, "Ma'am, the
Abraham family's direct descendant has given a reply. Do you wish to
communicate privately or have me directly say it out loud?"
Cattleya thought and said, "Let's do it privately."
Soon, the others had their senses blocked as Fors recounted what her
teacher said:
"They don't know much about Mr. Door either. They only know two things,
no---three."
"First, among their ancestors, there is an existence known as Mr. Door.
"Second, this ancestor vanished in the War of the Four Emperors. They've
been struggling to find him.
"Third, they will hear ravings that can cause a loss of control during
the full moon and Blood Moon.
"In addition, they temporarily do not wish to make any direct contact."
The third point was added by Fors by herself. She wished that Ma'am
Hermit and the Queen Mystic behind her could use this to further
understand Mr. Door's matters. This was beneficial in helping the
Abraham escape the fate of being cursed.
*Mr. Door is the Abraham family's ancestor and "He" vanished in the War
of the Four Emperors. "He" would create ravings during full moons? Hmm,
the latter was confirmed by Mr. Fool, so there's nothing suspicious...
That is to say that although Mr. Door has vanished, "He" still can
affect Beyonders of the same bloodline, as well as living beings that
used certain items during the full moon and Blood Moon. This means that
"He" hasn't completely lost his connection with the real world... This
is how the emperor was able to interact with "Him"? Her Majesty once
said that there were members of the Abraham family who worked for the
emperor back then...* Cattleya had some theories as she gently
nodded.
"If there are any questions, I'll get you to pass them on.
"I'll pay the remaining 650 pounds today."
*With 650 pounds, along with Mr. Moon's 400 pounds, I've made a profit
of 1,050 pounds today. Together with the 730 pounds from before, as well
as the sale of the two properties to pay Mr. World, I might still have a
thousand left. My savings are about to exceed 3,000 pounds! This way,
I'll have the money needed to purchase the other main ingredient for
Scribe. I might still have some leftover...* At that moment,
Fors suddenly found herself a little wealthy.
This made her consider helping purchase the Interrogator Beyonder
characteristic for Xio to make up for the risk she had to endure over
Mr. X's assassination.
After the blocking of senses was lifted, Fors heard The World Gehrman
Sparrow speak before she could say a word.
"I need a mystical item from the Marauder pathway. It can be at Sequence
9 or 8."
Cattleya considered for a moment and said, "I can ask around for you.
However, items of the Marauder pathway aren't common. There might be a
premium involved."
"No problem." Klein controlled The World to provide the response.
He then made his marionette look at the now wealthy Miss Magician.
"I want to sell an Interrogator Beyonder characteristic for only 1,000
pounds."
Typically, this Sequence 7 Beyonder characteristic which could be used
as a main ingredient should've been priced around 1,200 pounds, but
Klein had two sets at the moment. Furthermore, considering how he had
used Miss Xio's identity to participate in Mr. X's gathering, there was
a certain degree of danger he was bringing to her; therefore, he gave a
slight discount.
*It's only 1,000 pounds. That's like a sale at a department store! But
why does Mr. World know that I want it? He is Mr. Fool's Blessed. The
Interrogator Beyonder characteristic was in his hands, and he is also
aware that I can now afford it...* Fors was stunned for two
seconds as she nearly forgot to reply.
During this process, Audrey held back the urge to engage in shopping,
because she knew that Xio needed the item.
1,000 pounds? An Interrogator's Beyonder characteristic?
Cattleya seriously thought over the hidden intent behind The World when
she heard Miss Magician say, "Deal!"
...I haven't even made my offer... Cattleya mumbled inwardly
as she maintained her silence.
She could tell that The World and The Magician had reached a strange
level of understanding on this matter, so she didn't interject.
Similarly, she also sensed that something good had happened to The
Hanged Man this week. He appeared more spirited than before, appearing
more confident.
*He previously purchased the potion formula and main ingredients to
Ocean Songster... He had also asked me where Obninsks that do not belong
to the Church of Storms can be found... This is likely related to the
ritual... He has already advanced?* Cattleya suddenly felt a
sense of danger.
As the Admiral of Stars who was famous throughout the Five Seas, she
always felt a sense of superiority in the Tarot Club. But in recent
times, with The World Gehrman Sparrow showing his ability at hunting
pirate admirals, followed by The Hanged Man reaching Sequence 5, a
Sequence 5 that made him adept at sea battles, she felt that she no
longer had the right to belittle others. She felt a sense of urgency
that hadn't existed in her for a long time.
*However, I have Sequence 4 ahead of me. It's the boundary between
spirituality and godhood. It's not that easy to advance... I still don't
see any hope despite preparing for years...* Cattleya sighed
inwardly as she looked at The World Gehrman Sparrow and asked, "Any
chances for the blood of a Mythical Creature?"
I've been waiting for you to ask this! The Fool Klein smiled
while watching the transactions as he controlled The World to hoarsely
laugh.
"That angel got me to ask you what you can give 'Him' in exchange for a
drop of blood.
"'He' emphasizes that it needs to satisfy him."
*Angel? Mr. World directly contacted an angel? Furthermore, he has
convinced the angel to provide a drop of blood!?* Audrey was
first alarmed before her thoughts raced as she turned to look at the
seat of honor.
She suspected that The World, Mr. Fool's Blessed, had contacted an angel
that was in service to Mr. Fool!
She was like The Magician, believing that The World only knew of clues
to the location of an angel or its remains. They never expected him to
directly converse with an angel!
One had to know that the Grounded Angels were equivalent to the leaders
of the seven Churches!
Indeed... Alger sighed silently, believing that his guess has
been verified.
As expected of Mr. Fool's Blessed... Cattleya held back her
surprise and shock as she pondered.
"May I know what pathway this angel is from?"
The World surveyed the area and said, "Monster."
*Monster, which means it's an angel from the Fate pathway? It's no
wonder Mr. Fool's honorific name has the words King of Yellow and Black
who wields good luck...* Audrey, Derrick, and company were
enlightened, believing that their inferences matched the actual
situation and the inherent logic.
Their gazes and guesses stirred Klein. He realized a corresponding
problem. In the honorific name he fabricated, the description of
wielding good luck had successfully been directed towards the mysterious
space above the gray fog!
*Is this related to why the people from the Fate pathway can see my
uniqueness? Could this be related to why the Snake of Mercury, Will
Auceptin, took the initiative to establish friendly ties with me? In my
honorific name's three lines, the first line is a description of my
inherent self, and the second is about the corresponding divine domain.
Only the third line involves the authority. Wields good luck... Of
course, The Fool itself can also contain a certain amount of
authority...* Klein suddenly felt that he needed to find an
opportunity to communicate with the unborn fetus.
However, he suspected that the paper crane would tear at any moment.
This was because just erasing the original content was already a rather
precarious process.
At this moment, Cattleya said, "Thanks for your help. I will seriously
consider it and give you a response as soon as possible."
She planned on consulting Queen Mystic to see if there were any
conditions that would entice an angel from the Fate pathway.
With the conversation between The World and The Hermit ending, the
transactions came to a formal end. The Tarot Gathering then proceeded
into a period for free communication.
Fors thought for a moment and looked at Emlyn.
"I'd like to remind you of two things. First, be familiar with the
powers on each corresponding page. It will be very dangerous if you were
to flip to the wrong page and use the wrong power in combat."
Emlyn scoffed immediately as he said, "I'm very confident in my
intelligence."
Fors didn't speak further and switched to mentioning:
"A serious case involving Beyonders happened in East Borough. The
surrounding region is on high alert. If you plan on carrying out any
operations, take note of that."
Emlyn viewed this piece of information with great importance as he
asked, "Are you aware of what happened?"
