However, even though Klein was stunned by Emperor Roselle's "integrity," he still noticed some useful details from the two pages.
Demoness of Despair… Is that the name of a High-Sequence Beyonder of the Demoness pathway? From the name, I can tell that acting is probably very evil! It's impossible for a Demoness to experience despair herself, right?
In addition, Emperor Roselle's real name is actually Huang Tao. He really lives up to his name!
"The Night Emperor should be the emperor of the Trunsoest Empire. He actually married a Sanguine as his queen?"
As a normal graduate of the history department, Klein naturally had some understanding of the Trunsoest Empire. However, no matter what history he read, there was no record of the Queen of the Night.
Although "Feast of Blood" was written by the Duke of the Blood Clan, there was very little information about the Blood Clan recorded in it… It shouldn't be necessary, right?
As Klein thought this, he picked up the diary page that Tower had submitted.
The Sauron family's Floren… Grade 0 Sealed Artifact… suddenly came to life… It's very similar to the Hidden Sage?
There's quite a lot of information on this page… However, from the tone of the diary, the Emperor and the Sauron family's Floren should only be Low- and Mid-Sequence Beyonders. How do they know the specific information about a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact? Is this done deliberately by someone, or is the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact doing something?
Klein's thoughts raced as he thought of many things. However, he quickly reined in his various thoughts and moved his gaze away from the diary. He looked at The Hanged Man, Justice, and Tower and smiled.
"The diary you provided is very valuable."
"It's our honor," Audrey replied respectfully, restraining her curiosity.
"You can communicate now." Klein nodded slightly before leaning back into his chair and said leisurely.
Just as he said that Ebner obtained The Fool's agreement and conjured a stack of documents. Then, he said, "Mr. Fool, this is the information regarding the Secret Order and the Antigonus family that I promised to gather for you last week. This is to repay my previous request for appraisal."
Klein was immediately interested when he heard that. However, as there was quite a lot of information, he didn't plan on reading it on the spot. He planned on slowly studying it after the Tarot Club ended.
However, he still muttered inwardly, Mr. Tower's memory is really impressive. He actually managed to produce such thick information… It looks like Miss Justice is having a hard time memorizing two pages…
Mr. Fool nodded in satisfaction and said casually, "Well done. The debt you owed from your appraisal has been erased."
"Praise your benevolence and generosity, Mr. Fool." Ebner took the opportunity to flatter him. After all, he had a premonition that he would definitely need to borrow Sefirah Castle in the future.
Seeing that Mr. Fool didn't flip open the information handed over by the Tower, Audrey thought for a moment and looked at Ebner diagonally across her. She said apologetically,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tower. Regarding Earl Lorena, I wasn't able to gather more information, nor did I expect you to take action so quickly…"
Although she was excited about being able to participate in this major event, she knew that her role was negligible. All she did was gather some superficial information. Her contributions couldn't match up to those charms, and even the favor she owed Mr. Tower for broadening her knowledge wasn't enough.
The Tower has already taken action? Has something major happened in Backlund? I'll have to ask Miss Justice when we exchange information later. Alger's heart stirred when he heard that as he thought to himself.
Klein also frowned as he thought to himself, "The big news that came from Backlund in the past two days only has that Hero Detective making new contributions, capturing the prince's assassination… Could this matter be related to the Demoness of Afflictions? Was it done by Tower?"
"Miss Justice, the information you provided was very timely. It was very helpful," Ebner replied with a smile.
He wasn't lying. If it weren't for Justice's intelligence informing them that he, Lina, was Earl Lorena's youngest son, the Forsaken Ones wouldn't have asked Lina where the Demoness of Agony might be hiding, and they might not have been able to save Captain Kuhn in time.
However, Audrey believed that Mr. Tower was consoling her. She shook her head and said sincerely, "You don't have to comfort me… I know everything. Yes, Mr. Tower, do you have any other requests that you need me to do? I wish to make it up to you…"
She was not used to feeling indebted to others and tried her best to repay them… Of course, she would not do anything too difficult.
Ebner thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He smiled and said, "I happen to have something to trouble you with, Miss Justice."
"What's the matter?" Audrey perked up and asked curiously.
"Hmm… It's like this. I need to give a gift to a girl. I don't know what to choose… Miss Justice, can you give me a suggestion?" Ebner said after some deliberation.
A gift for a girl? Audrey's interest was instantly piqued. She even asked in a gossipy manner, "Is it for a lover?"
"No, it's a gift from my sistr." Ebner shook his head. The nature of the gift could not be mistaken.
"Mr. Tower, this isn't the place to discuss such matters. After the Tarot Club is over, I'll tell you after I consider it," Audrey said after some thought.
Sitting in the seat of honor, Klein watched this scene with a deadpan expression. He lampooned inwardly. Thankfully, I can directly edit your image and voice for "Tower" to see. If I, an evil god, were to directly pass it on, how bizarre would that be?
"Alright." Ebner also knew that it wasn't appropriate to talk about such trivial matters in the gray fog, so he stopped when the point was reached. He then turned to the successor and asked, "I need the 'Thousand Phantom's Crystal' and the 'Horn of the Striped Black Snake'. Do any of you have them? I can give you a price that will satisfy you."
The horn of the 'Glittering Black Snake' was naturally for Xio to purchase and could also be used to confuse others.
Upon hearing this, Audrey used her Spectator powers to maintain her smile. This was because she had never heard of these two names before. She was also certain that she didn't have these two materials in her treasure vault at home, so all she needed to do was smile…
Alger fell silent for a moment before saying, "I happen to have clues regarding the Black Striped Black Snake. If I can get its horn, how much are you willing to pay?"
"700 pounds and it can be repaid from the price of the Wind-blessed formula. Of course, if you obtain the Tree of Elders' Heart, I will compensate you with the difference," Ebner replied with a smile.
As the main ingredient of Sequence 7, the price of the horn of the Amphiptere Black Snake would normally fluctuate between 600 to 700 pounds. Ebner's price was already very fair.
"Alright, I should be able to get it on Thursday or Friday. We will do the transaction under Mr. Fool's witness." Alger agreed without any hesitation.
After the negotiation with The Hanged Man ended, no one raised any new requests or deals. The Tarot Club naturally entered the next process—sharing information.
Audrey first looked up at Mr. Fool and said respectfully,
"Mr. Fool, the method you previously described to select officials for the public examinations has been approved by the King and the Prime Minister. Currently, the Upper Academy and the House of Commons are undergoing a review process. It's estimated that it will be approved by early October… In February next year, it might enter a formal implementation phase."
"It looks like the king and the prime minister still have brains," Alger mocked out of habit.
Ebner had heard of this matter on Thursday. According to Cullen, it was one of the compromises the king had made in order to appease the Church of the Lord of Storms. Therefore, he added,
"Because that's the price His Majesty, King George III, paid."
