Mystery: A Spark

However, for a young girl who has just come of age, such a topic is still a bit too advanced.

So after hearing what Alger the Hanged Man said, Audrey couldn't help but blush.

Fors felt the same way, because she had never had that kind of experience, and naturally felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when she suddenly heard this topic.

"Is this magical item of yours legitimate?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.

This sounds somewhat similar to the abilities of our vampires, but the negative effects are still a bit too strange... This is what Emlyn muttered to himself.

“Of course it’s legitimate. Isn’t this magical item incredibly effective?” Alger asked curiously. “Its price is close to three thousand pounds, but that’s only because it has very high requirements for the wearer. There are very few people at sea who meet these requirements, which is why it’s only priced this way.”

"But in my opinion, if it falls into the hands of a specific person, its practicality will far exceed its current value."

So you've concluded that Audrey was an innocent young girl? How can you define someone so casually?

Storm Man is really down.

Arthur originally wanted to show Alger, the old storm pigeon, the power of the otherworldly martial arts, but then he thought that this kind of thing wasn't popular here yet, so he gave up after thinking about it.

“Then this magical item will do, Mr. Hanged Man.”

Audrey's embarrassment didn't last long; she quickly composed herself.

“Okay.” Alger breathed a sigh of relief.

If he can get his hands on this ring, all his debts will be cleared.

Furthermore, he can obtain the auxiliary materials for the Wind-Clad Potion recipe, allowing him to advance to the Wind-Clad level as quickly as possible.

The ring was no problem, after all, Alger didn't want to lose "Justice" as such a big client.

It came from the leader of a medium-sized pirate crew he knew, who had recently obtained it by luck from a treasure.

Despite possessing remarkable abilities, the strict conditions imposed on the wearer prevented it from ever being put to good use.

After having someone assess the ring's effectiveness, the pirate captain searched the entire pirate crew but couldn't find a single female pirate, let alone one who met the ring's requirements.

Because at sea, female pirates are extremely rare in most pirate crews.

After all, most pirates worshipped the Lord of Storms, so their style of doing things and their beliefs are naturally predictable.

Therefore, in this jungle law where the strong prey on the weak, it is really difficult for ordinary women to succeed.

Every female pirate who manages to make it at sea is an extremely formidable figure.

However, given the far more open atmosphere at sea compared to the inland areas, finding a virgin among these female pirates was practically impossible, like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, the top female pirates, such as Vice Admiral Iceberg, Admiral Star, or even the Mysterious Queen, might not necessarily be ineligible.

However, firstly, it's difficult to connect with these beings, and secondly, these beings usually possess better magical items or extraordinary abilities with similar functions, so they generally don't think much of this ring.

So, upon learning that the pirate captain wanted to sell the ring, Alger went to him without hesitation, hoping to lower the price as much as possible.

However, the pirate captain hasn't given in yet, but Alger believes that if he keeps negotiating for another week or two, it should be about time.

After all, the last pirate tournament had just ended not long ago, and who knows when the next one will be.

The timing of each pirate conference was irregular, depending entirely on the mood of the four pirate kings, in order to guard against surprise attacks from the navies of various countries.

Such a ring, with its strict limitations, would be difficult to sell at a typical high-profile gathering.

Therefore, Alger was confident enough to lower the price of the ring even further.

At this moment, Emlyn, the "Moon," who had been listening in, witnessed a deal being struck. After thinking for a moment, he eagerly asked:

"Gentlemen, does anyone know how a vampire can increase their strength without relying on gifts from their elders?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt everyone's gazes turn towards him.

Audrey and Fors' knowledge of vampires came entirely from legends and fantasy works, so they were very interested in this living vampire.

Alger was taken aback, somewhat surprised that a vampire would join the Tarot Club.

Even Derrick, the little sun, couldn't help but scrutinize this new member; his understanding of vampires was completely different from everyone else's.

In his mind, vampires are monsters that lurk in the depths of darkness, covered in pus, and move like the wind.

This clearly did not match the image of the man in front of him, which aroused his strong curiosity.

Emlyn, the "moon," was momentarily at a loss under the scrutiny of the gazes directed at him, vaguely realizing that he might have asked something he shouldn't have.

He initially wanted to explain himself using the excuse of "making friends out of thin air," but then felt there was no need to explain.

Then Emlyn White raised his chin proudly and added:

"Yes, I am a pure-blooded vampire."

No one asked him if it was true... Mr. "Moon" was a little guilty, so he overreacted... "Justice" Audrey read Emlyn's behavior.

"So it really is a vampire..." Fors, the "magician," suddenly became interested. She curiously asked Emlyn whether vampires had created titles for different levels of power, similar to humans.

This immediately drew a rebuttal from Emlyn, who argued that the division of titles should be a practice that humans should emulate in the vampire race.

According to his understanding of vampire history, as early as the Second Era before the Great Cataclysm, vampires already had a system of titles such as duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

At that time, humanity was under the rule of the giants' court, and it was impossible for them to invent titles of nobility.

This drew objections from Derrick, the Little Sun, because it contradicted the history they had unearthed from the ruins in Silver City.

Emlyn expressed his disdain for this.

Their vampires are a race with a long history and long lifespan. Can you really consider the history recorded in a Silver City that you've never heard of to be reliable?

They're unreliable, they don't have the capability, you know that?

But Little Sun was naturally not convinced. The history of their Silver City was all discovered through archaeological research, and many people even sacrificed their lives for it.

Now, he was suddenly rejected by the new "Moon" Mr., which made him angry and aggrieved, and he immediately started arguing with Emlyn.

If no one intervenes, I think they could argue about this until the end of the party... Little "Sun" is honest, sincere, and reserved, but he is also very stubborn and persistent, while Mr. "Moon" seems to be particularly interested in the history of vampires... "Justice" Audrey observes the two arguing with great interest.

At this moment, Alje spoke up to interrupt the argument between the two, because he did not want the precious time of the Tarot Club to be wasted on such a boring matter.

"I know how vampires can increase their strength."

Emlyn's attention was immediately diverted. He wanted to exchange some of the lost history of the vampires for this information, but Alger refused on the pretext that "information exchange among members of the Tarot Society is free."

This made Emlyn feel quite favorably toward the Hanged Man.

However, when he heard Alger mention that vampires could also advance in rank by taking the right potion, he immediately disagreed, because he felt that the main ingredient of the potion was his own kind.

But Alger is not Derrick.

This seasoned veteran easily fooled Emlyn with the rhetoric of "inheriting the legacy through magic potions to prevent the loss of the vampire's power."

“So, what price will be paid?” Emlyn asked.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," chuckled and said:

"Between 4000 and 5000 pounds, but I'll have to wait until I find the owner of that vampire baron's trait to know the exact price."

This item belonged to a notorious pirate whom Alger knew. Because he didn't know which sequence or potion it corresponded to, he was unable to sell it, and the newly established "Artisan" channel wasn't very interested in it either.

"So expensive!?" Emlyn asked in astonishment.

That money would have been enough for him to bring home several of the dolls he liked, and even buy them new clothes.

“You can take your time to think about it,” Alger said with a casual smile.

He could tell that "the Moon" was already clearly interested, and it was only a matter of time before she was moved.

Once the deal goes through, he will receive a substantial commission, which will allow him to easily purchase the eyes of the longan eagle from the "magician".

After Emlyn's problem was resolved, Klein immediately began manipulating the World Mannequin to promote the magical item he possessed, which was made from the characteristics of the Faceless Man.

This magical item was made at Arthur's request. It can change one's appearance and allow the wearer to change their appearance freely and realistically.

To Klein's surprise, the negative effects of this magical item were very weak; it only amplified people's emotional fluctuations.

“Mr. World, name your price.” Audrey immediately took a liking to this magical item that could change a person’s appearance and figure.

"Six thousand pounds." "The World" paused for a moment before tentatively speaking.

"Deal." Audrey didn't even try to haggle.

A moment of silence fell over the gray fog, as everyone was more or less shocked by this transaction.

Even Klein, who had quoted a price, hadn't expected Miss Justice to agree so easily.

At that moment, Klein seemed to see a golden light emanating from this noble lady.

The Faceless Man's extraordinary abilities generally cost around £4500, but when crafted into magical items, the price can fluctuate considerably depending on the specific extraordinary abilities and negative effects.

Klein quoted £6,000 mainly to leave room for negotiation.

But little did he know that Miss Justice had no intention of haggling at all, which left him completely stumped.

“Well… okay, you’ll get it after this party.” “World’s” hoarse voice seemed to carry a hint of pleasure.

Of this money, one thousand pounds was to be given to Arthur as a processing fee, and the rest was all his.

Combined with the money he already had, this brought Klein's net worth close to the level of 10,000 pounds.

"We'll be rich from now on..." Klein muttered to himself with a touch of smugness.

With his improved financial situation, he began to have some new plans.

For example, strengthening the abilities of one's own wolf cubs.

However, he still had no clue about the potion recipe for the next stage of Nightmare.

Furthermore, there are no members of the Tarot Club who follow the three paths of Night, Death, and War.

Perhaps I can ask Mr. Azik later, after all, death and night are adjacent paths... Klein thought to himself.

The "creeping hunger" actually involves a nightmare of herding, which overlaps with the abilities of his little wolf cub.

Therefore, he planned to let the "Nightmare" rest in peace after releasing the souls of the "Priest of Light" and the "Psychotherapist".

The trading phase of the Tarot Club has ended, and the discussion phase has begun.

Audrey looked at everyone, a smile playing on her lips, and said:

"Gentlemen, something big has happened in Backlund recently."
