Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"But I still don't want to owe too many favors."

Lin Nuo shook his head and took the public carriage back to the Cherwood District. He still needed to prepare the extraordinary materials himself.

......

Monday, September 9, 17:2 p.m.

Backlund, Joe Wood District.

Lin Nuo returned to the bedroom, locked the door, drew the curtains, and used "holy night powder" to create a spiritual wall.

This time he solemnly arranged a complete ceremony of praying to the gods, until he saw the familiar illusory crimson light surging out like a tide and drowning him.

Above the gray mist, in a palace that looks like a giant's residence.

Lin Nuo opened his eyes again, and the familiar scene was still in front of him. He hugged his shoulders and waited for Miss Justice's energetic greeting.

“Mr. Fool, I got a total of 19 pages of Roselle’s diary this time.”

"Here, I must thank you for sending your favored ones to help me get rid of Qilingos. These diaries are the reward I should pay!"

However, it was Mr. Hanged Man who spoke first this time. His words made both Lin Nuo and Audrey look over.

Submit 19 pages of diary at one time?

Can you please stop overfishing?

“This is the principle of equal exchange.”

Klein was overjoyed in his heart, but his face looked cold and indifferent.

"The current limit of my memory is six pages. Please allow me to give it to you in several parts."

Alger seemed to have understood what his lover and justice were thinking from their looks, so he did not hand in all 19 pages of the diary at once.

“I have three pages, too.”

Lin Nuo also spoke.

He was now very grateful that Russell had lived long enough, had written enough diaries, and that The Fool currently had no restrictions on exchange, otherwise he might have rolled out a hundred pages of diaries at once.

"very good."

Klein, who was shrouded in thick gray fog, nodded slightly.

He took the 9-page diary and began to read quietly.

Excluding Roselle's daily PY, there is still a lot of valuable content left.

For example, Mr. Men tried to teach Emperor Roselle a complex and difficult ritual, in which he asked Roselle to help him return to the real world in exchange for satisfying Roselle's three requirements.

"Unfortunately, our ancestor met the wrong person. Roselle has long been accustomed to freeloading in Intis."

Lin Nuo secretly complained in his heart. He wanted to use this diary to test Mr. Fool's attitude towards Mr. Men. What if Mr. Fool knew Mr. Men's current specific condition?

Mr. Fool didn't know what Lin Nuo was thinking. He learned some information about the War of the Four Emperors, the Two Laws of Beyonder Characteristics, and the Intis coup from Roselle's diary.

Under Lin Nuo's expectant gaze, Mr. Fool spoke in a low and calm voice.

"Roselle mentioned some hidden history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I didn't seem to tell you."

Lin Nuo lost interest as soon as he heard this. He knew that the Fool was talking about several laws of Beyonder characteristics. In fact, the reason why he was willing to take the initiative to help the Fool copy Roselle's diary was not entirely out of kindness.

He could actually replicate the general content of the writing in his mind through the action of writing with a feather pen. Otherwise, why would he have to show off?

He didn't even need to worry about being discovered by the Fool, because he reconstructed the general content of the writing in his mind through the strokes of the feather pen. He relied on his understanding of Chinese characters and the computing speed of his brain, rather than simply extraordinary abilities.

“Mr. Fool, what common sense did Emperor Roselle mention? I can pay you in exchange for this information.” Audrey couldn’t help but ask.

Miss Justice, you look so happy and excited now, you don't look like a spectator at all.

"Ms. Justice, don't forget to request a private conversation."

Lin Nuo was happy. He remembered how Miss Justice from the Tarot Club had taken care of him last time, so he reminded her.

"No, this is simple common sense."

"After seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the Tarot Club, I think it is necessary for you all to know. Of course, I know very well that some of you have already mastered it."

Klein refers to the "sun" and the "lovers".

After all, the Little Sun originated from the ancient Silver City. As for Lin Nuo... Klein didn't believe that this guy would be so kind as to remind Miss Justice. He must have known it a long time ago.

"The first is the law of immortality of Beyonder characteristics. After a Beyonder dies, he or she will leave behind an item that embodies Beyonder characteristics. It can be used as the main ingredient for a potion, or as a semi-finished magical item."

These few plain words were like thunder that shattered Audrey's fantasy of the extraordinary world. She looked at the "Hanged Man", "Sun" and "Lover" who did not react much and forced herself to calm down.

They all knew? Only I didn't?

Audrey felt a little aggrieved, but she suddenly wanted to laugh.

She had guessed that Mr. Hanged Man might want to use this information to exchange for a reward from her, but surely Mr. Hanged Man didn't expect that Mr. Fool didn't care about this little reward at all?

"The second common sense is the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences."

Klein made his second attempt while observing the reactions of the four members calmly.

The "Hanged Man" changed his sitting posture slightly. He obviously looked like he only had a vague understanding of the law. "Justice" and "The Sun" felt similar to him and were also unable to intuitively understand the true meaning of this law.

And Lin Nuo?

Lin Nuo lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but Klein recognized it at a glance. It was a common action of dozing off in class when he was a student.

You are so brave, aren't you? It's only because I'm pretending to be the Fool!

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and then he heard the Hanged Man couldn't help but ask about the meaning of the similar sequence out of curiosity. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

"What will you give for answers?"

Klein asked back with a smile.

This was a plan he had planned before. Common sense was free, but explanations were charged. This was in line with the identity positioning and would not waste information.

The free ones are the most expensive.

Klein felt that it was actually a good thing for Lin Nuo to doze off. At least it wouldn't steal his business.

"Mr. Fool, what kind of reward do you want?"

Alger thought to himself that he still had 10 pages of Emperor Roselle's diary in his hand. Although this was originally the reward promised to Mr. Fool, he could also ask the price before making a judgment. If it didn't work out, he could just owe it to him first. At least he had the ability to repay it.

"Information related to the Secret Order."

Klein gave answers to The Hanged Man, Justice, and The Sun.

"The Secret Order?"

Alger whispered to himself.

He was not unfamiliar with this term, but the secret society was too mysterious and he did not have much information about it.

Mr. Lover seems to know the meaning of similar paths? Why not ask him?

Alger hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to refuse Mr. Fool's request in front of him, so he turned around and asked his 'lover'.

"I will accept this commission and collect and investigate matters related to the Secret Order for you."

"Can you pay me in advance?"

Alger knew that his request was a bit excessive, but he didn't care. If the Fool refused, he could just find an excuse to ask his 'lover'.

"no problem."

"If the intelligence you gather exceeds the value of the answer, I will compensate you extra."

Of course, Klein would not reject the Hanged Man's proposal. He originally hoped that someone could help him collect intelligence, and he did not expect the Hanged Man to provide any valuable information right away.

Of course, what he was most looking forward to were Miss Justice and Mr. Lover. The former was a local boss in Backlund, and the latter was a member of a secret organization, suspected to be related to Abraham.

Klein has now roughly determined that Lin Nuo is an extraordinary person on the apprentice path. The symbol of a door appears on the bronze chair behind him, which makes Klein wonder whether there is some connection between Lin Nuo and Mr. Men.

According to the information within the Nighthawks, among the forces that control the apprenticeship path, the Abraham family is the most famous, and the Gnosis Society is the most active. Referring to Triss's brutal character, Klein instinctively labeled Lin Nuo as Abraham.

Even if he really is a member of the Spiritual Knowledge Society, he should have been forced to do so. At least Klein has not yet found that Lin Nuo has done anything unforgivable.

How could he not believe him?

Klein firmly believed that Justice and Lover's information was more flexible than that of Mr. Hanged Man at sea and himself when he first arrived in Backlund.

"I am willing to exchange the compensation I have accumulated before for an answer."

Little Sun spoke.

"Ah."

The Fool nodded and looked at his 'lover'.

Mr. Fool is now a little worried that his lover will exchange three pages of Russell's diary for the answer. This is still the best result. If he just refuses to listen, then Mr. Fool will suffer a great loss.

“I know the answer to this question, but my understanding may not be as comprehensive as Mr. Fool’s. I also accept this mission, but I may not gain anything.”

Lin Nuo thought about it for a while and gave his answer.

He almost took care of the faces of everyone in the Tarot Club at the same time, and did not take on any mandatory tasks for himself.

Klein also knew that Lin Nuo was giving him face, so he didn't force anything. After all, Lin Nuo needed his protection, and he didn't worry about not being able to pay him.

"The so-called similar sequences refer to several pathways that can replace each other in high sequences."

"For example, Sequence 5 'Gatekeeper' of the 'Death God' pathway can not only be promoted normally, but can also choose Sequence 4 'Demon Hunter' of the 'God of War' pathway, or Sequence 4 'Night Watcher' of the 'Darkness' pathway."

Not to mention the shock that Audrey and the others felt.

Seeing that the Fool took the initiative to use Sequence 5 Gatekeeper as an example, Lin Nuo thought he was hinting at him, so he spoke.

“Mr. Fool, thank you for your reminder. Consider those three Roselle diaries as my reward.”

He now knew that Mr. Fool had other followers under his command, so he would not think that the other party had no other channels to understand the real world besides the Tarot Club.

"is it?"

Klein glanced at Lin Nuo strangely. His face remained expressionless, but he was muttering in his heart.

What did he remind you of before? Your fate is not harmonious? Did you really run into bad luck?

"The former Archbishop of the Church of Evernight, Ince Zangwill, planned the arrival of the offspring of the evil god in Tingen City. I almost died at the hands of the projection of the real Creator. Fortunately, His Excellency the Sword of the Goddess of the Church of Evernight arrived in time to stop the other party's conspiracy."

"But Ince Zangwill also took away a demigod-level Beyonder characteristic while the Nightwatchman was weak. He should have been promoted to a Sequence 4 Nightwatchman by now."

Lin Nuo thought that since the Fool had reminded him, he should not forget his kindness. At least he should report the general development of the incident to him.

Lin Nuo's words instantly caused a storm in the Tarot Club. Miss Justice and others didn't care about the fact that extraordinary paths could be exchanged.

At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Nuo as if he were a monster. Even Klein was no exception. If it weren't for the gray fog covering his face, he would not be able to conceal the horror on his face.

Chapter 91: Reporting is the way to go (First Order)

Lin Nuo naturally knew that his words would cause a huge uproar in the current Tarot Club, but he did not choose to communicate with Mr. Fool alone without the other members.

Anyway, I am destined to report my work to Mr. Fool as usual. After all, I owe Mr. Fool a favor this time. I can't just play dumb and say nothing, right?

As for re-establishing his prestige in front of the Tarot Club, that was only a small gain. Lin Nuo mainly wanted to remind the Tarot Club members and let them understand what the Fool in front of them meant.

If the Tarot Club fell apart, how could he take advantage of the Tarot Club? Which god would be willing to send airdrops to his subordinates except Mr. Fool?

"Mr. Lover, are you kidding me? Oh, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the projection of the evil god and the offspring of the evil god, this sounds too scary."

Audrey could no longer maintain her spectator status. If she were not in Mr. Fool's mysterious kingdom, she would have wanted to rush to her lover and check if he was still alive.

Could it be that Mr. Lover is a ghost in disguise?

While I was still feeling smug about discovering the intelligence about Vice Admiral Hurricane and successfully cooperating with Mr. Fool's followers to eliminate a pirate general, Mr. Lover, what big thing did you do behind our backs?

At this moment, Audrey felt that her new bounty of 7000 pounds and the plantation worth pounds awarded by Earl Hall were no longer attractive. She really wanted to hear the adventure story of Mr. Lover.

Although the Hanged Man Alger was also shocked by the projection of the evil god, he was more concerned about the former archbishop of the Church of Evernight who planned all the conspiracies. Moreover, the Fool could actually predict and warn his lover of the dangers they might encounter in advance? Isn't this simply too terrifying?

Little Sun Derrick's mind was much simpler. He did not understand the so-called Nighthawks and Archbishops. He simply thought that Mr. Lover was very powerful and could successfully survive such a dangerous situation.

Fate is not harmonious?

So that's what it means? So Lin Nuo was also unlucky enough to be targeted by Ince Zangwill? But why is he even more unlucky than me? I almost succeeded in killing him!

Klein completely completed the last missing piece of the puzzle in his mind through Lin Nuo's words.

Mr. Azik said that his fate was not harmonious because he was targeted by Ince Zangwill at that time.
