Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 590 Chapter 168 Big News

Xio didn't respond. Alice stared at her for a while and couldn't help but remind her:
"Miss 'Judgment', this 'Punishment Knight' Beyonder characteristic can also be separated into a 'Judge' Beyonder characteristic. If you need it, I should be able to find the formula from it..."

In other words, she no longer had to worry about the potion formulas and main ingredients for the next two sequences.

This did make Judge Xio excited, but she remained calm and just asked:

"How much do you want to sell it for?"

"According to the market price," Alice said matter-of-factly. "The formula of a Sequence 6 potion is worth less than 2000 pounds, and the Beyonder characteristic is worth 3000 to 4000 pounds... So, I'll charge you 5000 pounds in total. How about that?"

She didn’t mention Sequence 5 because it didn’t make sense to Xio at the moment.

5000 pounds... a fair price...

Xio considered it seriously.

The man with the golden mask from MI9 brought her methods to obtain potion formulas and materials, but this was not safe because she refused to join MI9. Moreover, if she continued to be promoted, she would face strict scrutiny, which would be extremely disadvantageous to her.

And the most important point is that the death of Viscount Stratford will definitely cause a storm in Backlund. Many things will change by then. She can't guarantee what her channel will become, but...

"Miss Fortune, I don't have that much money right now," replied Hugh "Judgment".

"I'm not in a hurry," Alice shrugged, "You can take your time... Well, is anyone interested in the extraordinary properties of the 'witch'?"

No one spoke. After all, there were no "witches" among the Tarot Club members present. Even Cattleya, the "hermit" who had to support a whole ship of people, did not have any "instigators" who were eager to be promoted. After they got this trait, they would either resell it or make it into a magical item.

But as Alice said, she was not in a hurry, and seeing that no one responded, she stopped asking and signaled others to continue.

The one who got the chance to speak was Audrey, the Justice, and she also asked about her materials for the next stage:
"Ladies and gentlemen, who among you has the heart of a dream catcher, the crystal of a psychic phantom, or the complete brain of a grown psychic dragon?"

After listening to Miss Justice's words, Sun Derrick responded positively:

"We should have a complete brain of an adult Psychic Dragon in our warehouse in Silver City. I'll confirm it when I get back and tell you."

So simple? Audrey's eyes lit up. Before she could show her happiness, Derrick added:

"However, even if it has a complete brain of an adult Psychic Dragon, it is likely to be filled with crazy and twisted mental pollution."

He looked at Alice, and Audrey also looked over. Without them saying anything, Alice spoke up:
"I think this cross will address your concerns."

This means that the lease is agreed. Audrey, the Justice, was very happy and said sincerely:
"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Fortune."

"That's not it," Alice looked up at her, "maybe I'm planning to take advantage of your misfortune and charge you a huge price?"

Audrey was speechless. The World Gehrman Sparrow suddenly asked:
"You said that when you are in need, your help is an advance payment, then...

"Can the exorbitant price you charge be considered my advance payment when I need it?"

"?" Alice looked at him with a stunned expression, "Who... who do you think you are... No, you really dare."

She gritted her teeth, then smiled brightly and replied:
"If anyone has the courage to ask me for it, he will naturally get the reward he deserves... Don't you agree, Miss Justice?"

Audrey, who was accidentally injured, gave a polite smile and replied, "You have a very good relationship with Mr. World."

Then, she immediately looked at the Sun Derrick and asked as quickly as possible:

"If so, what would you trade it for?"

“I haven’t thought about it yet.” “The Sun” Derrick suddenly felt a little embarrassed and almost raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.

All he wanted now was to go back and tell the Chief about the Creator's relics, and then offer a suitable price for exchange. As for other things, he really had no mood for it.

"Well, then you should confirm it first. It would be best to see if there is the blood of an adult psychic dragon." "Justice" Audrey nodded slightly without asking any further questions.

That is the most difficult auxiliary material to obtain in the "Dream Walker" potion recipe.

Audrey then looked around and indicated that she had completed the transaction.

Don’t look at me. Although I do have quite a bit of savings now, I don’t want to buy anything, mainly because my teacher hasn’t given me the recipe for the “Traveler” potion yet… Among the first five sequences of “Apprentice”, my favorite is “Traveler”. I have always longed for the beautiful scenery and delicious food in different places, but I was stopped by the long journey, the crowded or simple means of transportation, the small hotels along the way that I didn’t know if they were clean, and the suitcases that would definitely be bloated… After becoming a “Traveler”, these are no longer a problem… “Magician” Fors’s emotions gradually dispersed, and he began to fantasize about his future life.

The Hermit Cattleya spoke tentatively:

"Miss Destiny, if I want to rent that cross, what will it cost?"

She did not tell him her purpose, firstly because there was no need, and secondly because she was worried that she would be rejected if she told him - she wanted to try to remove the remaining pollution in the body of the "craftsman" Sharf.

Alice glanced at Cattleya and asked, "What can you give?"

After a moment of hesitation, Cattleya actually offered a price:
"I have a way to restore your strength for a short period of time during your period of weakness."

——This was one of the things she learned during her correspondence with Bernadette that the angels of the "Destiny" path might be interested in.

Alice laughed when she heard this. She looked at Cattleya and told her sincerely:
"Mr. Fool and I both have the method you mentioned, and Mr. World may also have it soon."

Cattleya was speechless.

Seeing this, Alice lost interest in teasing her and said lazily:

"Give me the money. It's the equivalent of an item called 'No Darkness'. How much do you think is appropriate?"

She gave the decision to Cattleya. Even if Cattleya had a hundred guts, she would not dare to deceive an angel from the "fate" path. She had just heard the words of the "world" and now she just wanted to give a higher price. After all, in her impression, for their Miss Fate, agreeing to rent out the house itself might also require payment.

"Two thousand pounds," she said without hesitation. "I'm willing to pay two thousand pounds for one day, and two hundred pounds for each additional day thereafter."

"Very generous." Alice gave her a thumbs up.

Cattleya didn't say anything. She was considering whether Bernadette should pay the money herself.

"Justice" Audrey didn't feel anything. 2000 pounds was nothing to her, just pocket money.

"Judgment" Xio didn't care too much. Alice sold her the potion formula and extraordinary characteristics, but didn't intend to rent her the cross. This had nothing to do with her for the time being.

"Magician" Fors wisely gave up the idea of ​​renting Cross Records.

Emlyn the Moon had no feelings. The cross had no effect on him. If he planned to commit suicide one day, he might try to rent it.

Leonard the Star didn't feel anything either, because the Dark Night path was also good at dealing with matters in the soul realm. As for the others... not to mention that he didn't need them for the time being, he had an archangel on him...

The one who had the biggest reaction was the Hanged Man Alger, because he really needed it - according to his original plan, he needed to take an extra dose of the Ocean Singer potion, and he was planning to rent it when the time came to help him eliminate his special characteristics.

But the Hermit Cattleya's actions set a sky-high reserve price, which made the not-so-rich Alger frown and think about what solution he could have.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Emlyn the Moon looked at Fors the Magician and said:

"Ma'am, I may need to rent that travel notebook once in the next two weeks."

“No problem.” Magician Fors had originally wanted to pay Mr. Moon to add extraordinary abilities such as “Abyss Shackles” to the magic book. Now she was naturally very happy to do so, as this meant that not only did she not have to spend any money, but she could also get a reward.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but add: "Try not to record the 'full moon'"

Alice looked at Fors with a look of pity.

When Emlyn the Moon nodded in agreement, Alger the Hanged Man also came out of his previous thoughts and joined the current topic:

"The vampires' hunt for important members of the Rose School is about to begin?"

"Yes." Emlyn did not hide anything. "Once the plan is finalized, I will ask everyone for help and advice."

“No problem.” The first person to answer him was not The Hanged Man, but The World, Gehrman Sparrow, who was sitting silently at the bottom of the long bronze table.

He has some interest in this? Not only Emlyn the Moon, but also the other members, no matter how slow they are, have such an understanding.

As the Hanged Man, the Hermit and Justice all agreed to help Mr. Moon with the vampire action plan, and Alice restlessly said that she could also help, the Tarot Club transaction part ended and entered the communication part.

Alice, who had already confirmed with Klein what she could and could not say, immediately sat up straight, put one hand on the table, and said triumphantly:
"I have big news."

The eyebrows of the Tarot Club members all jumped. They knew something about Miss Fate. Although she loved to talk nonsense, the big news she spoke must be earth-shattering enough.

Moreover, there is a high probability that gods are involved...

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively. Alice smiled with satisfaction and said in a low voice:
"King George III of Loen has hidden a shocking secret... Please forgive me for not being able to tell you what the secret is yet, but I can tell you the current progress.

"An angel serving the goddess received intelligence from Major General Qonas Kilger, deputy director of MI9, and discovered this matter.

"In order to keep this secret, George III secretly sent people to dig up the remains of the Blood Emperor and colluded with the Witch Cult and the Psychological Alchemy Society. However, it is regrettable...

"Because there are traitors among the top leaders of the three major churches... well, I mainly mean the Church of Storms and the Church of Steam. Anyway, the news has been leaked. The church has not been able to find any clues yet. With the disappearance of Hvin Rambis, at least on the surface, the matter has been temporarily settled."

Leonard was stunned. He only had time to ask one question:
"Angel?"

"Yes." Alice nodded as a matter of course.

After a moment of silence, Leonard told a well-known joke:
"According to the tacit understanding between the three major churches, the royal family, and the military, under normal circumstances, earthly angels and '0' level seals will not appear in Backlund."

"So," Alice said calmly, "I asked the Church of Darkness to make me a saint. Was that the right decision?"

Leonard shut up. Alice rolled her eyes and said:
"Under normal circumstances? Hey, let me tell you, before Will Auceptin was taken away by Amon, He was in Backlund, in the stomach of an ordinary person!

"Also, Ouroboros often appears in Backlund. Apart from that, even if we don't mention the one on you and me, the messengers of the 'world' are also angels, and there are many of them. Tsk, the number of angels in Backlund now is more than the archbishop in public.

"It's as funny that this sentence doesn't appear in Backlund during normal times as it is that the school is closed on weekends and holidays during normal times..."

"It's the same at work," Klein, a former office worker, said while manipulating the "world." "Under normal circumstances, we don't work overtime. If we do, we normally get overtime pay."

Unfortunately, no one present seemed to be able to empathize with this topic. They looked at each other, and finally the "Judge" Hugh spoke up, introducing the story of Sherman and Viscount Stratford, and added:
"Miss Destiny, if you need anything in this matter, you are welcome."

“You should tell the World,” Alice spread her hands. “Strictly speaking, he is the one responsible. Unfortunately, the Goddess and Mr. Fool are both involved in this matter. Even more unfortunately... King George III and I have a grudge, in a sense.”

After a pause, she added: "I just discovered it recently."

"Judgment" Xio suddenly felt that he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

Audrey "Justice" silently lit a candle for Mr. King, and then added:
"I will keep an eye out for any signs of Hvin Rambis."

The World laughed hoarsely:

"Whether you are keeping an eye on Hvin Rambis's whereabouts or investigating the king's secrets, you must pay attention to whether there are too many coincidences around you. If so, please let me know immediately."
