Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 30 What is coming will come
Monday, 3pm.

Above the gray mist, in the majestic temple, an ancient and mottled bronze long table rests quietly.

The members appeared in their fixed positions.

But for some reason, this time, the Tarot Club ceremony did not take place.

Miss Justice didn't even say hello.

This instantly made everyone notice Miss Justice's abnormality, and everyone turned their eyes to Audrey.

But Miss Justice, who was obviously a spectator, seemed not to notice anything at this moment. Instead, her body was tense and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a long while, Audrey suddenly sat up straight and spoke hesitantly:
“Dear Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. Lover, I have a question for you. Hmm~, what can a pet with extraordinary powers do to help its owner? In simple terms, what can it do?”

As soon as the words fell, the Tarot Club fell into silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.

"It depends on what kind of extraordinary abilities the pet possesses."

The Hanged Man was silent for a long time. Seeing that no one else was going to speak, he said in a rather strange tone, "For example, it is a spectator. It can observe and eavesdrop on certain occasions on your behalf. You know, people will be wary of their own kind, but are unlikely to suspect a pet of eavesdropping, even if the pet is squatting at his feet."

Audrey's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt that it made sense.

But his expression changed immediately. Why did Mr. Hanged Man use the example of "audience"? What are you hinting at?
"Mr. Fool, I found another page of Emperor Russell's diary."

Audrey hurriedly changed the subject, and Mr. Fool subconsciously glanced at the embers.

The moment he realized that the other party did not ask for the diary, The Fool couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that his last strategy had some effect.

Ever since.

Through this diary, Klein learned some important information—

For example, there is no oil in this world, or there is an organization in this world that secretly influences the world situation.

After thinking for a long time, Klein gathered his thoughts and made the diary in his hand disappear. He said:

"You can communicate now."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief. The time Mr. Fool had spent reading the diary was enough to cover up what had just happened.

"Miss Justice"

Ember spoke slowly, "I have obtained the mind reader formula."

As he spoke, Yu Jin turned his gaze towards the 'Fool' who was sitting at the head.

"What use do you think I am?"

Klein complained, but he still honestly materialized a pen and paper in front of Yu Jinming.

"So fast?"

The Hanged Man couldn't help but look at the embers in surprise, but his expression became even more suspicious.

There is no way a mere 'apprentice' can get the potion formula, even if you have money!
What kind of connections did the other party have to obtain the Sequence 8 potion formula in such a short time?
Soon, after Yu Jin finished writing, he pushed the parchment to Miss Justice opposite him.

Audrey was obviously very excited but behaved very reservedly. She took the parchment gracefully and glanced at it.

"Main materials: the complete pituitary gland of an adult seven-colored lizard dragon, 10 ml of cerebrospinal fluid from a Falsman rabbit.

Auxiliary materials: 5 grams of chestnut spores, 8 grams of amaranth powder, 3 petals of pure white fairy flower, 100 ml of pure water.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lover."

Audrey suppressed her inner joy and smiled sweetly.

Yu Jin nodded slightly and did not respond much.

However, Klein and the Hanged Man, who were watching at the same time, discovered something unusual.

because--

"Miss Justice didn't even mention the reward?!"

This is definitely not normal! It is known that Miss Justice is not short of money, and she always mentions the reward in advance.

But this time, after getting the mind reader formula, she didn't even ask for compensation!
Not only did they not mention any compensation, they also did not mention how to compensate the other party.

It couldn't be that Miss Justice had forgotten, right?

This is obviously impossible.

Or had she already paid him in advance?
Could it be that they have already met in real life? Has Miss Justice already paid him in real life?

This is the only explanation!

The only question is, how did they meet?
If two people have completely different social circles, they may never know each other in their entire lives even if they live in the same city.

In other words, Miss Justice and Mr. Lover’s social circles overlap greatly?

It is known that Miss Justice is a great noble in Backlund, and her 'lover' is related to the Church of Evernight and is most likely a night watchman of the Church of Evernight.

But if that were the case, the possibility of them meeting would be extremely low.

It is impossible for Miss Justice to take the initiative to look for Mr. Lover's whereabouts. There is neither reason nor possibility.

So, it was the 'lover' who took the initiative to approach Miss Justice?

Or maybe, they already knew each other in real life, and that 'lover' was also a descendant of a great noble.

So they recognized each other at the tarot reading?
In just a short moment, countless speculations flashed through Klein and the Hanged Man's minds.

But no matter which situation it is, it is an established fact that these two people have already known each other in real life.

"I have a commission."

The Hanged Man's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke slowly, "I want to know whether the king intends to retaliate against the Feysac Empire this year or before June next year, and start a new war on the east coast of Balam. Miss Justice, Mr. Lover, who of you can accept this commission?"

"Hmm~"

Miss Justice subconsciously looked at Yu Jin when she heard this. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of accepting the commission, she nodded and said, "I accept this commission, but it will take enough time to confirm. In addition, Mr. Hanged Man, I hope you can help me find the complete pituitary gland of the Seven-Colored Lizard Dragon."

"I can wait."

The Hanged Man Alger nodded gently. "As for the complete pituitary gland of the Colorful Lizard Dragon, this sub-dragon species is almost extinct. But there are still traces of them on some primitive islands in the sea. I can find a way to get it for you, but it will take some time."

At the same time, Alger already had some guesses in his mind.

Is this Mr. 'lover' not interested, or does he have no channels to obtain such information?

Probably not the latter.

Miss Justice subconsciously glanced at her 'lover', which meant that in her mind, Ember should be able to know all this.

But that’s not necessarily the case. The intelligence is not sufficient yet to make an accurate judgment.

"I have a commission too."

Yu Jin slowly said, "This commission is long-term and will always be valid. Anyone with any relevant clues can let me know at any time. I will reward you according to the value of the clues."

"What kind of commission?"

The Hanged Man's expression changed slightly and he asked.

"The Black Emperor."

Ember slowly said, "This is the only clue I know. If you know more clues, I can reward you."

"The Black Emperor?"

Miss Justice was a little confused, and the Hanged Man slowly said, "I don't think you are referring to the Black Emperor of the Solomon Empire in history?"

"I don't know what the Solomon Empire is. I think you can tell me about it."

Ember shook his head and said calmly.

The Hanged Man was silent for two seconds, as if he was organizing his words, and then he said, "The Solomon Empire was a powerful empire during a certain period of the Fourth Epoch. Each of their rulers was called the 'Black Emperor'."
