Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 145 Mr. Fool is diagnosed as a Goblin
In Backlund, the most economical way to travel is to take the subway, then the subway, and then take the subway again. Klein chose a more economical way.

Find a deserted corner and let the flames jump.

What the hell, isn't subway money money? A little spirituality is worthless.

The round trip took less than half an hour, and Klein had enough time to deliver an anonymous letter of complaint to the Church of Steam and Mechanics and the Church of Storms, describing what he had divined about Ambassador Intis.

He wrote this letter of denunciation above the gray fog to ensure that no one could divine on him.

After returning home, he went to find the landlord next door and told him that his cat had accidentally broken several pieces of furniture, and he would compensate him with new, identical furniture.

Nothing happened for a while, and Klein was happy to have some free time.

Until late Sunday night.

Klein had fallen asleep, but suddenly woke up with a start.

He didn't say anything, but a tiny eye appeared on the back of Klein's hand, squinting at the door of the room.

This is the extraordinary ability of the strange doctor, who can change his own appearance and grow usable and strange organs in various parts of the body.

His eyes narrowed into slits, and he saw a dark shadow wriggling in the gap at the bottom of the door.

A slender, iron-black nematode crawled in, its center arched high and then flattened, moving in a continuous cycle towards the desk.

Its movements were very stiff, as if broken down into slow motion frames, giving it a weird feel.

It inched closer to Klein's bed, and then...

Snapped.

He was slapped to death by Padomeow.

Klein retracted the eye from his hand, got out of bed, and went to the flattened wireworm to perform a divination.

He saw a man he didn't recognize, talking to the Intis ambassador.

Okay, okay, it’s you again.

It seems I have no choice but to kill you, Klein thought.

Time flies, and it is Monday afternoon again.

Klein took four steps backwards and arrived above the gray fog. The familiar gray fog and the hazy figure came into view.

Audrey, who had just completed her promotion with a payout, stood up, lifted her skirt slightly, and greeted cheerfully, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool; good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man; good afternoon, Mr. Devil; good afternoon, Mr. Sun; good afternoon, Ms. Wheel of Fortune."

Watching Miss Justice stand up, Klein, shrouded in gray fog, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

What... what is this? It's so dazzling!
Turns out you're a big spender, so sorry for the intrusion.

Klein, who had already activated his clairvoyance, used the special ability above the gray fog to notice that the surface of Miss Justice's astral body had changed again deep within her etheric body. The uniform color had become much purer. He chuckled and said, "Welcome, our Miss Mind Reader."

【Yo yo yo, “our” Miss Mind Reader~. 】

Audrey smiled modestly and said, "This is all thanks to Mr. Fool."

It was not wrong to say so. After all, she had entered the extraordinary world with Klein's help.

Then, Audrey turned and looked across at Alger: "Mr. Hanged Man, it's time for you to submit your six-page diary for this week."

Alger nodded, but couldn't help but think more.

I was going to turn in my diary, but Miss Justice cleverly made it appear that I only turned it in after being "reminded." This directly overshadowed some of my contributions, while quietly leaving a greater impression on Mr. Fool.

Can we only say that she is worthy of being a noble lady of Loen? In the words of Emperor Roselle, what is this called?

That’s right, it’s called palace fighting.

It seems that I was fooled by her naive disguise before. It is true that no one can be underestimated. This kid is so terrifying.

Although the inner drama was quite intense, Alger still materialized six pages of Russell's diary with the help of Klein.

"And mine." Serris also handed over the diary.

As usual, Klein read Russell's diary first.

In today's diary, Klein learned some high-level names of fortune tellers and monsters.

These included the "Miracle Master" from the Sequence 2 Diviner, the "Prophet" from the Sequence 2 Monster, and the "Mercury Serpent" from the Sequence 1 Monster. There were also several subsequent names for the Black Emperor.

I know that the goddess of night does not represent the moon.

Other than that, it's just some little things that aren't that important.

Next comes the diary of old Serris, although Crane prefers to call it "The Stallion in Estrus".

Compared to this senior Serris, Russell is just a rookie. After all, Russell's XP is limited to humans or humanoid creatures.

But that old Serris was a human pile driver, a walking Armstrong cannon.

"On July 13th, we arrived at a planet called Tianyi Wu, a planet contaminated by a star core. That's true, but the star core elves are indeed very cute." What did I say... Klein showed a dead fish eye.

"The star core is something called the Cancer of All Worlds. The star core spirit on our train was really excited when it learned it was called the Cancer of All Worlds. It kept showing off to us, saying it had a really cool nickname, but we didn't."

"Are you kidding? I used to have a really cool nickname, okay? Everyone who knew me back then called me the Ultimate Goblin Chieftain."

"I know that everyone reading this diary must be laughing, but it doesn't matter. I have always been tolerant. My fellow tribesmen, I have saved some food for you tonight."

Klein suddenly stopped smiling.

I'm not a goblin...

"I know you won't want to admit it, my people. Let's do a few small tests. 1. Do you have a wife? 2. Do you have money? 3..."

After casually throwing away the diary, Klein said, "You can start communicating freely now."

Audrey felt a little sorry.

It seems Mr. Fool has no common sense to tell us today.

Indeed not, because the great Mr. Fool has just been diagnosed as a goblin and is now emo.

Klein calmly looked around at the Tarot Club members, hoping to find some comfort.

Needless to say, the demon Serris was quite wealthy. Mr. Sun also had the resources of a city. Based on previous conversations, Mr. Hanged Man seemed to be a pirate and captain of a ship. Miss Justice was a noblewoman, and Klein was supporting Padu himself...

Ugh...there's only one goblin in the entire Tarot Club...

Klein felt even worse.

I want to go back to the lair... I want to go back and eat the food cooked by the Goblin Chief...

The free trade session began, and Padomeow spoke first. As the first hound under the goblin, she came here with a mission today.

"Everyone, I have a talisman and a doll for sale. Is anyone interested?"

After being transformed into a puppet by the Ruler of Domination, the original face will also change and become a unified facial mask, so Klein is not worried that the previous hunter will be exposed.

It comes with a control bead, which can barely be used by this hunter as a seal. Since he broke Klein's furniture, he might as well sell himself to pay it back.

Klein was merciful enough by not cutting off the kidneys.

Of course, the hunter's money had long been taken away by Padomeow.

"Can you describe it in detail?" Alger asked.

I didn't expect the new Miss Wheel of Fortune to ask to sell anything, but talismans were what Alger needed most.

Audrey, on the other hand, didn't really need the talisman, but she was a little interested in the doll.

"There are two types of talismans, both of which cannot be bought anywhere else, strengthening talismans and dominating talismans." Paduo Miao first introduced the talismans.

"After using the Strengthening Talisman, it can enhance the user's physical qualities, reflexes, and spirituality. The Controlling Talisman, when thrown, affects targets within a ten-meter radius, causing their movements to gradually become stiff."

This domination spell was created after Klein created the strengthening spell, based on the same principle. It is the embodiment of "puppetization", but because it is not controlled by him personally, there is no way to directly transform a person into a puppet.

"That's too broad." Alger shook his head. "Can you describe in detail what they can achieve?"

"The blessing provided by the Strengthening Talisman is roughly equivalent to the average of a Sequence Seven. For example, a Sequence Seven's spiritual power will roughly double after using it," Paduo explained. "The Domination Talisman can normally completely restrain Beyonders below Sequence Seven for one minute, and it will take about ten seconds to gradually become rigid. The higher the Sequence, the less affected they are."

"What's your proposed price?" Alger was satisfied, but he didn't say it.

"Twenty pounds each," Pado quoted.

"Then you can give me one of each." Alger thought about it and decided to buy one of each to try out the effects.

Audrey wasn't interested in the spell: "What about the doll? How much does it cost?"

"The puppet costs 500 pounds, equivalent to a Sequence Hunter. You can control it to do anything, or you can directly shatter it. It contains a Sequence Hunter Beyonder as its core."

Audrey shook her head a little disappointedly. She looked down on this kind of thing.

"What is the maximum range of its control?" Alger, the fallen man, asked the key question.

"The control range is about 500 meters in diameter, and the field of vision is synchronized during control." Padomeow replied.

"If I want to buy it, what will it cost?" Sun Derrick was very interested in the doll. "And those talismans, I'm also interested."

Klein also explained this to Padomeow.

"You can choose one of these two materials to exchange: a piece of the true root of the Mist Tree Man or all the spinal fluid of the Evil-Striped Black Panther. Of course, the value of each is not equal, so I can replenish you with 10 of each of the two talismans I mentioned earlier, or other items of equal value."

Paduo didn't report the ingredients for the subsequent formulas of the Monster Path. Firstly, she and Klein didn't know either, and secondly, there was no need to report them. By then, the Beyonder characteristics would most likely appear out of nowhere.

Derrick thought about it and felt that he didn't seem to be at a big disadvantage.

"Okay Miss Fortune, I will help you find these two items."
