Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 459 The Long-Awaited Tarot Meeting (3K)

Emlyn, the "Moon," noticed the unspoken gazes of the Tarot Club members around him and seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn't have.

What are you looking at? What's wrong with vampires? This is racism! We vampires have a long history, a long lifespan, and abundant resources. We are a noble race!

He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, arrogantly tossed his hair, and slightly raised his chin, saying:

"That's right, I am a pure-blooded vampire!"

No one asked him if it was true. Mr. Moon was feeling guilty, so he made a stress-induced, instinctive reaction.

As Audrey Hall observed Emlyn's behavior, she sensed that this gentleman possessed a quality that seemed identical to Mr. Ron's.

"Really? Shouldn't all pure-blooded vampires worship Lilith?"

"But you..."

Just then, Ron suddenly turned his head to look at the "Earth Mother Goddess" priest's robe that Mr. Vampire was wearing, and said with a playful expression.

How did he know?!

Damn it, you bastard!!!

Emlyn White's face turned green instantly. He hurriedly straightened the priest's robe of the Earth Mother, feeling that the gray mist surrounding him didn't seem so safe.

"Ahem, that's right, I am the progenitor of our vampire clan."

"Also, don't address our ancestor by his given name; it's very impolite!"

Hmph, I can't even be bothered to expose you. You're spouting nonsense with such a straight face. Emlyn never expected you to be such a vampire.

Upon seeing this scene, Klein's eyes twitched, and he silently complained in his mind.

Ron's small mouth always manages to reveal a person's true colors, showing a different side of them.

Seeing the arrogant vampire acting like this, the blond boy raised an eyebrow and then said in a smug tone:

"Okay, seriously, you really are very devout, truly."

Are you mocking me? You bastard!

Mr. Moon's face flushed instantly. He instinctively wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a point to refute at all.

Unlike the vampire history that can be used to persuade others, Ron's sarcastic remarks made him hesitant to speak out loudly, lest he damage his image as a pure vampire.

The main theme is about having grievances that can't be expressed and feeling frustrated!

"Mr. Hanged Man, could you please describe the details of what happened?"

"I remember you mentioned that the pirate king seemed to have set some rules at sea, and even the navies of various countries couldn't do anything about him."

"Who did this? Was it a powerful member of the Church of Storms?"

"Justice" Audrey raised her hand, showing great interest in the subject. Every time the Tarot Club heard "The Hanged Man" mention those pirate generals and treasure legends, the noblewoman would feel restless, always fantasizing about one day going to sea to uphold justice and bring those pirates, big or small, to justice.

After hearing about the end of a pirate king's sinful life, she couldn't help but yearn for the sea and for adventure once again.

Sigh... Mr. Ron is right. The audience's high-sequence members really lacked direct combat ability in the past. Even if they actually went to sea, they couldn't bring those pirates to justice by themselves. Most likely, they would secretly report them, allowing the Church's forces to arrest them.

As she pondered this, the noblewoman suddenly sighed.

"Actually, I don't know much either. I only know that the news came from the White Agate, and there have been some unusual movements at the Governor's Office in Bayam. Their funds seem to be operating abnormally, like..."

"Like those wealthy people who owe the bank a huge loan."

Before Alger could finish speaking, a hoarse voice came from the bottom of the mottled bronze table.

"The bounty for the kingdom of Rune, the King of the Five Seas, is 800,000 pounds. This was not done by anyone from the Church!"

"World" spoke in a hoarse voice, revealing an important piece of information.

Eight hundred thousand pounds!!! I completely overlooked the bounty!

Fors, the "Magician," was taken aback, then her eyes widened. As one of the poorest people in the Tarot Club, she simply couldn't imagine what this huge sum of money meant.

Eight hundred thousand pounds is the entire annual rent for traditional nobles who rely on renting out their land, and only for high-ranking nobles such as earls or dukes.

Audrey sighed, though the assets she would receive were far less than that amount. Despite having seen the world, she still maintained the composure befitting a wealthy woman.

Yes, eight hundred thousand pounds. When Ireland realized the problem, he collapsed onto the deck...

"The Fool" Klein chuckled inwardly, recalling the bewildered look on the captain's face when he couldn't find Ron after they escaped Banshee Port.

Although the boy did not explicitly state that he wanted the bounty, as the party that issued the bounty, the Rune military could not refuse to pay it.

If it were a pirate general, he could simply refuse to pay, but the problem is that he is the King of the Five Seas, someone who can be easily eliminated, so no one would dare to renege on their debt.

This is considered a big shot in the entire mysterious world!

"Mr. 'World,' do you know who did this?"

The husky voice of the dummy "World" attracted the attention of all the members of the Tarot Club. Even Emlyn, the newest member, looked at him expectantly, his face full of curiosity.

"Ah, in fact, I was on the White Agate at the time and witnessed the whole thing."

Klein manipulated "The World" to change its posture, and then prepared to praise Ron to make up for the embarrassment of overdoing the photo-op.

But just then, he suddenly noticed that the little brat had already stood tall and proud, ready to go with an arrogant look on his face.

Why do I suddenly not want to talk about it?

Seeing this, Klein twitched the corner of his mouth, forcibly suppressing his sudden drop in emotions, and chuckled:

"At that moment, Mr. Fate was right beside me!"

Yes, one move and the King of the Five Seas and his subordinates were wiped out. No, we should loot the ship first. There must be some items from before, or powerful sealed artifacts on the Black Emperor!

That spendthrift brat, that's all money!!!

As Klein pondered this, his heart skipped a beat, and his face turned as pale as if he had lost a fortune.

?

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Emlyn "Moon" suddenly stiffened all the muscles in his body.

Damn it, he's looking at me again!!!

At that moment, his keen senses detected Ron's gaze.

"Well, femininity is a characteristic of the vampire race, and height doesn't affect how others perceive you as great."

Emlyn's mind raced, and his actions perfectly illustrated what it means to be stubbornly arrogant and to be quick-witted in a crisis.

Even though he was drenched in sweat, he still refused to let go of his vampire pride and only uttered some ambiguous and soft words.

"Yes, at that time, the King of the Five Seas rushed out to rob me, who was weak, helpless, and pitiful. I was terrified, so I resisted fiercely."

Feeling the gazes of the Tarot Club members, Ron shrugged, confirming the answer directly.

As expected of Mr. Ron, he did a fantastic job. He must have been heartbroken to see the passengers being persecuted by pirates, which is why he acted so decisively. I really admire that. I wonder when I can do something like that.

Seeing the young man who was only slightly shorter than herself, the noble lady felt even more admiration. This was a yearning for freedom, for beautiful fantasies, and for elegant virtues.

Nothing is more inspiring than what Ron has been doing all along!

Although Mr. Fool kept emphasizing that Ron was stingy, after a few months of getting to know him, Audrey found it quite uncomfortable in this regard, though it might vary from person to person.

At least he was never stingy with the workers, never lowered their wages, and even provided overtime pay.

As she thought about it, her emerald green eyes shone even brighter, and she dreamed that one day she could have such a day too.

No, not just one day. Mr. Ron is at sea, so I can talk to him alone later and see if he can take me with him. Hmm, although I'd definitely be a burden, I hope he won't mind.

Hazel, I'm sorry, I'm in the lead again this time. What can we do when we're partners in the Tarot Club?

"Destiny" and "World" have arrived at sea!?

They actually know each other!?

Alger, the "Hanged Man," sat up straight, feeling both joy and a strange mix of emotions.

Fortunately, his relationship with "fate" is not bad; at least he can exchange a few words with it. If he were to encounter any danger recently, this would be his last resort to save his life.

What's truly distressing is that the "world" had long recognized this great being, who was on par with the "Fool."

What gives him the right?!

I've tried so hard to maintain this relationship, how come you just left without a word?

Tell me, have you been secretly contacting each other behind my back?!

Went to sea? Not in Backlund!

Upon hearing this news, Miss "Magician" was not particularly shocked. Instead, she was delighted that the unfriendly big shot had left her vicinity and was no longer watching her all the time.

Phew, if this keeps up, I might as well switch careers and become a horror novelist. But thinking about it carefully, it does fit His personality. He always manages to create some big events. If it could be written into a biography, it would definitely be quite exciting.

Pirate ship on the high seas.

Sun's focus was different from the others; he simply muttered to himself and began to imagine this body of water, which was many times larger than a lake.

He now studies ancient books every day, determined to become a wise man full of wisdom, because he recently discovered that sometimes using your brain is more effective than taking action.

Of course, this choice is a long and arduous one for Derrick.

"Everyone, Silver City has organized another expedition. This time, the target is still the Temple of the Fallen Creator in the direction of the Giants' Court."

"I have to thank fate for this; at least that place is closest to the sea, making it easier to find a way out!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were once again on him, Taiyang, who had intended to only say half of what he wanted to say, scratched his head sheepishly and honestly added:

"Is there any danger in that direction?"

What a kind and innocent young man! How did he suddenly become so cunning? It's all because of the "Fool" who corrupted him.

When the blond boy heard "Sun" ask this, he gave a helpless twitch of his lips. Ron naturally knew that he wanted to ask if he was in any danger, but was too embarrassed to say it directly.

"I have captured Amon. Apart from the usual dangers, there will be no danger in your area. Of course, that's only from my perspective. You still need to be careful."

"You must understand that many people fail when they are closest to success, and that's precisely why we must not let our guard down!"
