Chapter 354 Audrey's Anger and Decision
Klein originally thought that this tarot meeting was just a routine matter, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
Among the red stars representing the various members in front of him, one star was frantically absorbing his spirituality, and this star represented his good friend, Evan Horn.
"What's going on? Is it the city phantom on Evan's body causing this?"
Just as Klein became wary and prepared to sever his connection with Evan at any moment, the red star finally cast its red light, transporting each participant to their designated spot.
Although the spiritual energy within Klein's body did not surge forth like a flood as before, the consumption was still far greater than ever before.
"I can only last for 20 minutes at most. Once that time is exceeded, the tarot session will automatically end. I might not even have the strength to clean up the mess, which would cause panic among everyone!"
Klein felt his spiritual energy rapidly draining away and resolved to control the pace of the meeting today. He glanced at Evan with lingering fear; he now possessed the special authority of the Gray Mist Master and could see through the changes in Evan's astral body, understanding the cause of this accident.
"Evan got promoted? It hasn't even been that long!"
After seeing the "Hunter" pathway's blasphemous card, Klein understood why Evan had gone to such lengths to build a new army and win over Miss Sharon.
Marich, Catherine Grey, Isengard Stanton, Darkwell, and others understood that Evan's ascension to demigod status was only a matter of time.
But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
You have to understand that Evan only embarked on the path of the extraordinary at the beginning of July, and it's only the beginning of November now!
To advance to demigod status in just four months is an unprecedented and unimaginable speed!
"Aside from those born demigods whose parents are angels, no one should have advanced faster than Evan!"
Klein felt a pang of jealousy, even a touch of envy towards Evan, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and genuinely felt happy for his friend!
"If we can pinpoint Ince Zangwell's location in the future, Evan could become a great asset to my revenge, and perhaps I can even borrow his brother's power."
His brother was able to contend with and even stand against the mysterious angel queen for the blasphemous card, indicating he possessed at least a level 0 sealed artifact, which could significantly counteract 008's power!
Just as Klein was lost in thought, the people attending the Tarot meeting, led by Miss Justice Audrey, bowed to Mr. Fool!
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!"
After Mr. Fool gestured for everyone to relax and take their seats, Ms. Justice spoke first:
"Mr. Fool, I have collected three more pages of Russell's diary this time."
This is a copy she copied from the Psycho-Alchemy Society. Since she hadn't made any contributions to the Psycho-Alchemy Society, she only received three pages, which can be considered a newbie perk from the Psycho-Alchemy Society.
That's right. Over the past two weeks, Psycho-Alchemy member Islant has finally completed his test of Audrey. With the approval of the higher-ups behind him, Audrey has been officially admitted as a member of Psycho-Alchemy.
Klein took the diary that Audrey had transcribed, but instead of starting to read it immediately as usual, he placed it face down on the table in front of him and asked with a smile:
"What kind of reward do you want?"
Audrey glanced at the diary, which was turned upside down by Mr. Fool, with some surprise, and then revealed the reward she had planned before the meeting.
"I want to know the truth behind this Backlund riots, even if it's just a little bit!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Tarot Club turned their gaze away from the diary and looked at Mr. Fool with some rudeness. Clearly, everyone was very interested in this question!
Although Alger the Hanged Man didn't know what had happened in Backlund last week, he had already grasped the seriousness of the situation from the term "great riot" mentioned by Miss Justice.
"Something really happened in Backlund, and it's a big one!"
I just don't know what roles "power" and "world" play in all of this!
What Audrey could perceive, Alger could also perceive, so while he awaited Mr. Fool's answer, he also subtly glanced at Power beside him and World sitting at the end.
Fors the Magician and Hugh the Judge were also interested in this question, but when they tried to get information from Evan privately before, Evan changed the subject.
Even Derrick the Sun showed clear interest in this question, wanting to sketch out what the outside world looked like from it.
"The Fool" Klein noticed that Evan didn't react much to Miss "Justice's" questions. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to reveal a little, since he would need the intelligence support of this noble Miss "Justice" in the future when dealing with the Augustus family and George III.
Revealing the true nature of George III would help break down her psychological barriers!
"Would you prefer to listen alone, or with others?"
Audrey glanced back at the others, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"I choose to listen together!"
Alger, Fors, Hugh, and the others all expressed their gratitude and gave Miss Justice a big thumbs up; no one disliked White.
In order to obtain a large population, George III colluded with the Witch Cult to kidnap native slaves from overseas and sell them to Backlund, and also kidnapped people from the slums within Backlund.
To cover up the secret of Backlund's massive population loss, they joined forces with the Witch Cult to unleash the Great Smog and a massive riot in Backlund!
In order to expose the crimes of George III and the royal family more deeply, Mr. Fool Klein spoke much more than before.
As expected, a profound silence fell over the entire gray fog palace, and silence became the dominant theme at that moment!
"How could Your Majesty do this? He is the king! This—"
Audrey felt her worldview was about to collapse. The king she used to think was dignified and reliable had suddenly become a giant sea monster with a gaping maw, devouring all life in the past.
"Something truly significant has happened in Backlund, and a very significant one at that. For an angelic family to secretly do something so contrary to the interests of God and the Church is absolutely abnormal!"
Alger, the "Hanged Man," felt a shiver run through his body. This was a mixture of fear of the unbridled power of those in authority and excitement at the prospect of rising to power despite the chaos of the world.
Every chaotic era brings about a major shift in the power structure, upsetting many people while also allowing many others to showcase their talents and achieve upward mobility!
"The Magician" Fors and "The Judge" Hugh exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes, and at the same time feeling a sense of nausea and disgust.
The king they had been serving and loyal to turned out to be such a person.
This even made them regret joining MI9 for a moment, and they also thought of many other things.
Evan once said that Hugh's father, Mason Deer, died because he discovered King George III's secret.
Could this secret be the mystery of the mass population disappearance that Mr. Fool mentioned?
They felt they were experiencing an infinite truth that was originally out of reach.
Derrick, the "Sun," felt that the outside world wasn't as peaceful as he had previously thought.
The history of the Silver City does not record concepts such as "nation" or "king," so Derrick automatically equated the position of George III with the chief.
However, this chief named "George III" was clearly incompetent, actually colluding with the monster to harm the people he led, and from Mr. "Fool's" words, it seemed that he had not yet received any punishment.
This left Derrick momentarily confused. Was it the world where Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Ms. "Justice" lived that was the Forsaken Land, or was it his own world that was the Forsaken Land?
The thought of his parents dying at his hands sent a chill down Derrick's spine. He immediately reaffirmed his judgment: the outside world was far better, and he could not abandon his ideal of saving Silver City because of its ugliness.
Derrick kept encouraging himself in his mind!
At the same time, everyone noticed the indifference of Mr. World and Mr. Power.
They certainly didn't think these two gentlemen were cold-blooded animals; rather, they felt a sense of relief, as if their own answer had been confirmed.
"They were definitely deeply involved in this, and might even know the details!"
"Mr. Fool, do you know why King George III abducted so many people?"
Miss Audrey, who was the most affected, lost her composure, but the psychologist's abilities ultimately prevented her from completely losing her temper!
Mr. Fool smiled at Miss Justice Audrey, without answering her question.
Audrey, having finally composed herself, stood up in a flustered manner and bowed, saying:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fool, I lost my composure!"
Mr. Fool shook his head to indicate that he didn't mind her rudeness, and instead sighed deeply, saying:
"The truth of the matter is still unclear, but it will be revealed one day!"
The implication is that he himself doesn't know why George III did this, so there's no need to collect the diaries and ask that question again!
Audrey took a deep breath after sitting down again, then looked at the largest little "sun" in the entire Tarot room and said:
"I need the potion recipe for Sequence 6 'Hypnotist' from the audience's pathway!"
"Sun" Derrick had never seen Miss "Justice" speak with such a serious tone before, so he shuddered for a moment before quickly saying:
"The higher-ups in Silver City haven't lifted the scrutiny of me yet; I can only give you an answer next week!"
Audrey nodded, and then said:
"Tell me what you need me to exchange for it, and I can prepare it in advance!"
Derrick was naturally delighted with this, so he told Audrey the main ingredients for the "Sun Priest" potion, and that she only needed one main ingredient to exchange for the "Hypnotist" potion recipe.
Having decided to act as a spokesperson for the outside forces in front of the Silver City's upper echelons, Derrick's actions became much bolder than before. He no longer acted cautiously or collected information, and his style of doing things became much more daring.
Therefore, Derrick has been digesting potions much faster lately, and he can even clearly sense that the higher-ups seem to be intentionally giving him various conveniences.
This includes, but is not limited to, access to library materials, facilitating the trading of materials within the city, and providing him with good opportunities to play a role.
Seeing that Miss Justice had completed her deal with Little Sun, she thought for a moment and then spoke up:
"Seeking the Sailor's Path Sequence 5 'Ocean Singer' potion recipe, 5000 pounds."
As he spoke, Alger focused his attention on Mr. "Power" and the mysterious Mr. "World".
As for the little "Sun", he didn't have much hope, since he had basically revealed the secrets of Silver City when he joined the Tarot Club.
Silver City is primarily a warrior-oriented location, and there is no ocean nearby. It's unlikely to have mid-to-high sequence recipes for the sailor path.
To Alger's disappointment, neither of the two people most likely to produce the potion formula spoke up!
"Mr. Hanged Man has successfully advanced to Sequence 6. He's not slow at all."
The members of the Tarot Club had all guessed that Mr. Hanged Man had already completed his advancement.
Evan currently has nothing he needs, and Fors and Hugh have their own paths to advancement, so neither of them has made any trade requests. Finally, it was 'World' Klein who, seeing that no one else was speaking, cautiously spoke up:
"If anyone has any information about wild mermaids, I'll offer 300 gold pounds to buy them!"
Klein was still unsure what the Goddess of Night's plan was for him, whether she would require him to use the mermaids kept by the church.
So it's always good to find out beforehand, just in case.
"This mysterious 'World' is a very powerful extraordinary being, unlike someone who ascended using materials from mermaids. Is he preparing for a ritual, or does he have some other purpose?"
Everyone was interested in Mr. Fool's followers, so when he made the offer of a deal, everyone speculated, trying to glean information about the Fool's followers' actions from his gestures, but in the end, they all came up empty-handed.
To Klein's disappointment, everyone present shook their heads, indicating that they knew nothing about the matter, including Mr. "The Hanged Man," who mainly operated at sea.
"If no one wants to trade, then let's move on to the discussion phase!"
Seeing that everyone was silent, "Fool" Klein quickly spoke up and sped up the pace, as he was now feeling signs of spiritual depletion.
No sooner had Mr. Fool finished speaking than Miss Justice Audrey eagerly sent messages to Mr. Power and Mr. World:
"Gentlemen, you hinted at something big going to happen in Backlund during your tarot meeting last week."
Now that this has happened, could you please provide some more detailed information, and what I need to contribute in return?
No matter how she thought about it, Audrey felt that she couldn't stand idly by when Backlund was in trouble, even though she was just a Sequence 7 'psychiatrist'!
