Chapter 959: Even Newcomers Are Different Amongst Themselves

Cattleya turned her body slightly to the side and looked at The

Magician.

"It's a little complicated. I suggest that you wait for another one to

two weeks. I'm unable to promise anything. All I can say is that there

should be someone to help you create the mystical item when the time

comes."

Should be someone... It also means that it might not be the original

Artisan... Does this mean that she's planning on nurturing an Artisan

for herself? Or could it be that she's thinking of a way to turn the

original Artisan into a Sealed Artifact, using a machine to create

machines? Hmm, Ma'am Hermit is indeed an experienced Beyonder... Leonard

listened quietly while doing some analysis. It was the first time he was

this serious during a meeting.

"No problem." Fors had the utmost confidence in Ma'am Hermit. After all,

she had already obtained the Mythical Creature's blood and was likely to

undergo a qualitative change in time.

At this moment, she heard The World say with a hoarse voice, "If this

matter requires my help, you can get my help."

To Klein, the Mother Tree of Desire's abnormal interest in the gray fog,

as well as Emperor Roselle's warning to "be careful of the moon," which

made him, who was determined to figure out the secret of transmigration

and the door of light, take note of matters involving the Rose School of

Thought and the Primordial Moon believers more than ever before.

Furthermore, the Artisan was now involved in both matters.

Cattleya never expected The World to offer his help. After some silence,

she nodded slightly.

"Alright. If I'm unable to handle it, I'll seek your help through Mr.

Fool."

She had deliberately said "through Mr. Fool" to inform the two newcomers

that the Tarot Club had a magical way of contacting one another. There

was no need for them to be stumped or be in a dilemma in such aspects.

It was something they would understand in due time.

As the pirate admiral with the highest bounty across the Five Seas, and

as a pirate crew leader of hundreds of subordinates, she wasn't doing

this solely out of goodwill, nor was she worried that the two newcomers

would affect the progress of the gathering because of excessive

questions. Instead, it was a way to assert dominance in front of

newcomers.

Of course, unless time was of the essence, leaving Cattleya no time to

set up a ritual, she would in fact rather summon Gehrman Sparrow's

messenger than trouble Mr. Fool.

Seek help through Mr. Fool... Xio vaguely understood something and held

back her urge to look at Fors.

Seek help through Mr. Fool? Leonard's thoughts raced quickly as he made

a guess.

Seeing that someone had begun, he relaxed a little and deliberated for a

few seconds. Then, he said, "I need a mystical item."

"What kind?" Audrey answered at the perfect time to prevent an awkward

atmosphere from descending upon the area.

Leonard verbally showed his indecision and subconsciously replied, "I

don't know..."

He only had such a plan, but he hadn't thought carefully into the

details. He only realized that there was this possibility after being

pulled into the gathering

Doesn't know... Is he an idiot... The Fool Klein, who knew Leonard's

desultoriness and casualness, resisted the urge to laugh and criticized

him inwardly.

Seeing everyone's gaze fall on him with mixed expressions, Leonard

immediately felt embarrassed as he hurriedly added, "I mean there are no

limits on the type. As long as it's geared towards offense, has rather

stealth-oriented attributes, and lesser negative side effects, it would

be fine by me."

This was to boost his Nightmare's control to its full extent. At times,

he could control a target by himself while Pallez Zoroast controlled the

mystical item, giving the dazed opponent a lethal strike. Once he became

a Spirit Warlock, with a natural spirit or wraith or shadow sealed in

his teeth to aid him, he could do two or even three things at a time.

After Mr. Star finished his explanation, Alger didn't harp over the

details. He asked, "Roughly what level is needed?"

"Somewhere around a Grade 2 Sealed Artifact but slightly stronger. Uh,

corresponding to Sequence 5 or 6." Leonard had habitually described the

item using the parlance of an official Beyonder before switching to more

common terminology.

At that instant, a thought flashed across the minds of Audrey, Cattleya,

Alger, and Xio: Mr. Star is an official Beyonder, or at least he once

was!

From their point of view, although Beyonders that didn't belong to any

official organization would at times use the concept of grades when

describing Sealed Artifacts, they wouldn't consider using such a vague

description when precision was needed in expressing their thoughts and

requests. One would often choose a method of explanation that was more

direct and easier to understand.

Therefore, the conclusion easily appeared.

This way, things turned way more interesting.

Uh, Mr. World is actually very familiar with an official Beyonder... How

did they get to know each other? Why would he rope in an official

Beyonder into the Tarot Club? Audrey didn't say a word as she maintained

her state as a Spectator while enjoying herself.

At this moment, Alger tersely acknowledged.

"A mystical item at Sequence 5 costs at least 9,000 pounds. For one that

matches your request, it can typically exceed 12,000 pounds."

Very frank... Leonard nodded.

"I understand."

After hearing his reply, Klein nearly facepalmed as he sighed inwardly.

A-aren't you showing your hidden card to Mr. Hanged Man by doing so?

I dare bet that if he has something suitable, the price will definitely

be above 12,000 pounds!

Aside from the 7,000 pounds from Tinder, Leonard still actually has

other savings... With the guidance of a grandpa from the Marauder

pathway, he has likely amassed quite a bit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have

been able to purchase Tinder...

I get it. He's not afraid of being fleeced, because he still can

purchase from the Hermits of Fate. He can compare the traits and prices

from both sides... But the problem is that gathering happens once every

half a year. It's totally not at the Tarot Gathering's pace...

At this moment in time, Klein couldn't help but consider selling items

to the dear poet that had repeated effects or were of little use after

becoming a demigod.

He then heard Mr. Hanged Man reply in a deep and calm manner, "Alright.

I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Okay." Cattleya and the other members expressed their stance as well.

Following that, there weren't any transactions, allowing the gathering

to automatically enter the free exchange segment.

Without waiting for Mr. Hanged Man to inquire, Derrick raised his hand

and said, "I'm already back in the City of Silver. The chief has

informed me that we will begin another round of preliminary explorations

of the Giant King's Court shortly.

"Does he mean that I should make use of this time to advance to become a

Priest of Light?"

Giant King's Court? Explorations of the Giant King's Court? Leonard cast

his gaze to the pubescent youth one seat away from him in surprise.

From what he knew, the Giant King's Court had already been destroyed

long ago in the Second Epoch. Pallez Zoroast, as an angel, had already

said that it had vanished from the rivers of time.

To his surprise, The Sun of the Tarot Club was about to explore the

area, but none of the members were astonished!

Yes, not one of them. Leonard subconsciously looked at Miss Judgment who

was also a newcomer, but he realized that she was apparently aware of

this and had remained rather calm.

This... Miss Magician has privately kept Miss Judgment up to speed. Only

Leonard doesn't know anything... The Fool Klein leaned into his seat and

seriously analyzed himself.

After he pulled Leonard above the gray fog and assigned him The Star

card, he had ignored him. He didn't even write to him or introduce the

Tarot Club's general situation to him!

Compared to women, men truly aren't meticulous with the details... Klein

was just about to control The World Gehrman to explain to The Star

Leonard when he saw The Moon Emlyn glance at the poet beside him and say

with a rather faint smile, "The Giant King's Court is in the Forsaken

Land of the Gods."

After saying that, he ignored Leonard's reaction, and he said to The

Sun, "Have you obtained the ingredients to Priest of Light?"

He knew that someone had only received the formula just one to two weeks

ago.

"Yes, I've gotten it from Mr. World," Derrick answered honestly, but he

didn't go into the details of the transaction.

At this moment, Leonard's mind was filled with the words "Forsaken Land

of the Gods" and "Giant King's Court." He had a feeling like he had

walked out of a fantasy or myth.

He instinctively reassessed his knowledge of the Tarot Club, realizing

the weight of the simple words of how "the members come from different

places."

Even the Churches of the seven deities are unable to find the Forsaken

Land of the Gods, but the Tarot Club can do so. It has even roped in a

member from there... Right, Azik Eggers, who I believe wields the Death

card, doesn't appear at the gathering... Apart from the members here,

there are others that come directly under Mr. Fool? It's as I first

imagined. It's a secret organization that might develop into an orthodox

Church. It's not much weaker than the Aurora Order or Rose School of

Thought, and it might even be stronger in certain aspects... This is

really a Divine Council... Amidst Leonard's thoughts, Alger agreed with

Derrick's guess.

"That's what it is.

"Exploring the Giant King's Court is a very dangerous matter. He wishes

that you quickly grow stronger to resist that Elder Shepherd's level."

Derrick nodded in vague acknowledgment.

"I get it. Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man."

He then shared information about what he saw at Nois City, leaving

Leonard and Xio dumbfounded. They had no idea how such a strange state

and atmosphere was generated.

However, The Fool Klein noticed something familiar. He felt that Nois

City and the foggy town resembled each other to a certain degree.

The walking crowd was suspected to be lifeless marionettes!

Could it be that there's a higher Sequence item of the Seer pathway or

some monster there? Klein didn't say a word as he silently took note of

Nois City.

At this moment, Xio glanced at The World and said, showcasing some

goodwill, "MI9 has recently been investigating Gehrman Sparrow's

origins."
