Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 44: Serris Plans to Sell Rare Items
Audrey, the Tarot Club representative, spoke first as usual. Besides Susie's matter, the Viscount Fosse was the one she cared about most. "Everyone, is there a person with extraordinary abilities who can take partial 'features' from several other people, piece them together to create a completely new person, and then implant them into other people's memories, making everyone believe they are real?"

This ability is very strange. Klein felt his scalp tingle when he heard it, even though he didn't have such a sense above the gray fog.

"Based on your description, it's more like possessing multiple abilities. I do know someone like this, and the extraordinary abilities he possesses are very similar to what you described..." Alger immediately thought of his childhood sweetheart, Qi Lingos.

"Miss Justice," Ceres interrupted Alger, causing him to frown. Although Mr. Hanged Man's temper was much better than that of other Angry People, he still dared to express dissatisfaction with Mr. Fool's behavior.

Cerus ignored Alger's dissatisfaction. He raised his index finger to his lips and made a hushed gesture to Audrey.

"Ms. Justice, if something is false and suddenly exposed, it will have no value in existence."

Audrey tried to understand what Ceris said: So, as long as I expose this fake identity, um... for example, tell me who each of his characteristics came from, then Viscount Fox will disappear?
Audrey, as a spectator, understood immediately. She widened her eyes in joy, feeling that she had finally entered the extraordinary event she had been longing for.

So that's why Mr. Devil asked me to guide the children of nobles and upper-class people to invest in Mr. Devil?
Audrey immediately changed the subject.

"Then, what kind of Beyonder can walk through a wooden door or disable the lock?"

I know that... Klein, shrouded in gray mist, was about to speak, but the Hanged Man, eager to prove himself, beat him to it: "I need you to help me investigate something in exchange for an answer."

Klein's face flushed instantly. I finally had a chance to show off!

[You're done for! You've offended the petty Hermann. Expect some trouble.]

"What's going on?" Audrey asked with interest and confusion.

Alger glanced at the Fool and said thoughtfully, "I want to know if the King intends to retaliate against the Feysac Empire this year or before June of next year and start a new war on the east coast of Balam."

The Tarot Club's current lingua franca was Loenese, determined based on the accents of the four parties at their first gathering. Thus, Alger knew that Miss Justice was a Loen noble, and he also believed that Miss Justice knew that he was from Loen. For Mr. Devil, the language spoken was irrelevant.

As for the Fool, Alger believed that the Loen characteristics he displayed were just a disguise, a disguise to facilitate communication.

That's right, Klein in the front just needs to be mysterious, but the Hanged Man in the back has a lot more to consider.

Ever since that ritual magic, Alger unknowingly began to use "He" to respectfully address the Fool.

Audrey recalled what she had seen and heard in various social situations during this period, and nodded with some assurance:
“No problem, but it will take time to confirm.”

[Detective Susie and her assistant Audrey apply to join the battle!]

"I can wait," the Hanged Man, Alger, said with a smile. "With Mr. Fool as a witness, I believe you won't deny your debt." Audrey glanced at the silent and mysterious Fool in the gray mist, and said with a smile, "But I think the value of this matter is greater than the two questions I asked combined."

Audrey, who has grown up, has mastered the skill of bargaining.

Bargaining level: lv0→lv1.

【Jin Pound: "Oh, you've grown up."】

"Once you confirm the answer, I will make compensation according to the circumstances." Alger replied as if he had been prepared.

Audrey, who had never seen such empty promises before, breathed a sigh of relief and mentally applauded herself for learning how to bargain.

Alger began answering Audrey's questions, including some information about the Gnosis Society.

Audrey instantly felt like she had made a killing.

Audrey finished her questioning and Ceres took over.

"I have a batch of rare items I want to sell. Is anyone interested?"

"What is a strange object?" Alger asked.

"They are similar to extraordinary items, but not exactly the same. They themselves do not possess the extraordinary properties of the potion system."

"You mean, there's an extraordinary system that doesn't belong to potions?" Alger's tone was filled with shock. He wasn't one to trust others easily, but Mr. Fool, who was close to godhood, didn't react.

Klein immediately thought of the Star God. Could it be an energy system from another planet? So this strange object was alien technology? That's right. The universe is so vast, potions can't be the only extraordinary way to obtain it. Perhaps a system blessed by a god himself might suddenly appear from somewhere.

"Of course," Celeste paused, "we'll talk about this later." He planned to wait until Little Sun came up before talking about fate. There were too few people here now.

Although she was equally interested in the new extraordinary system, Audrey was obviously more interested in the 'wonderful items' that could be purchased now.

"Mr. Devil, what are the functions of these strange objects, and how do you plan to sell them?"
