Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 113 Klein: What? How should I answer this?

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

Klein, shrouded in thick gray mist, sat at the head of the table, watching the still blurry Justice, Wheel of Fortune, and Hanged Man appear at their fixed seats.

Hey, Miss Justice is so emotional, nervous, curious, and happy?

What's so fun about joining the Tarot Club... Klein, who had already opened his clairvoyance, noticed something was wrong with the only female member of the Tarot Club with just a glance.

No, Miss Justice is very rich. For her, attending the Tarot Club is just like going shopping. Especially since Star always sells her some good stuff...

Klein thought of his debts and fell silent. He then noticed another point:
The color of Star's aura doesn't seem to fluctuate at all. What's going on?

I remember that he used to be a little, uh, happy... but now he seems to be in a flat mood...

Is this some method of adjusting my thoughts? I don't understand, I don't understand...

After the other members nodded in response, Klein heard Miss Justice say:

"Mr. Fool, I found another page of Emperor Russell's diary."

"Miss Justice, what do you need?" Klein asked anxiously.

A character like The Fool obviously cannot owe any requests to the members of the Tarot Club.

But if the request made by "justice" was too embarrassing for him, he would use excuses such as "my contribution is not enough", "this is not something you should know now", "it's not the right time yet" to shirk his responsibilities.

Moreover, from the perspective of the principle of equivalent exchange, a page of a diary can obviously not reveal much.

If it was a simple question, Klein should be able to answer it himself.

Audrey expressed what she remembered on the materialized parchment and asked:
"Mr. Fool, I want to know how to train a pet that has taken the 'audience' potion?"

Since she had already been pointed out by Mr. Wheel of Fortune, Audrey simply stopped trying to hide anything.

Just like what Emperor Roselle said, "If it's a broken jar, it's a broken jar"... Miss Justice asked Mr. Fool directly.

This question wouldn't be difficult to answer. If that wasn't enough, why didn't she buy a few more pages of the diary from Mr. Wheel of Fortune?
Audrey thought about it while waiting for Mr. Fool's answer.

Little did they know that Klein's face was now full of smiles:
What, how do I answer this?

This question was so down-to-earth that all the reasons he had prepared seemed useless.

You can't just say "this is not something you should know" or "it's not the right time yet" when faced with such everyday questions.

As for "not contributing enough", everyone can more or less say something about this question. If he doesn't answer it, wouldn't it immediately expose that he, "Mr. Fool", is not knowledgeable enough and doesn't understand the extraordinary world enough?
When he encountered a problem at the beginning of the party, he looked at other people with a look of "testing you", but this was entirely his own fault...

How about letting Star answer it? He is Mr. Fool's follower, so it should be possible. It won't make people suspicious if he takes the initiative to propose such an idea, right?

Let's say Mr. Wheel of Fortune may have more say in this regard - after all, he wants to raise a "witch cat"... and then Mr. Fool will compensate him privately?

Just as Klein was racking his brains to think about how to answer this question, Audrey added hesitantly:
“Mr. Fool, can I pass this question to your follower, Mr. Wheel of Fortune, to answer it?”

In order to prevent Mr. Fool from feeling that she disliked him, Audrey hurriedly explained:
"I thought that Mr. Wheel of Fortune seemed to be more experienced. He was the one who answered the question I asked last time."

Mr. Fool seemed to be thinking for a long time, as if he was silent?
Audrey, who didn't want the atmosphere to become weird again and the Tarot Club to fall into silence, thought it was her fault, so she proposed the idea of ​​having Mr. Wheel of Fortune answer the question, an idea she had considered before joining the Tarot Club.

Mr. Wheel of Fortune seemed to be a nice person. He was not surprised when she was told that she had a "familiar". He seemed very open about it...

This naturally made Audrey feel closer to this mysterious and knowledgeable gentleman, and she was willing to ask Star for advice on how to train Susie. Klein finally got rid of his entanglement, so he chuckled and answered Miss Justice's question in a calm and unperturbed tone:
"Okay, I will compensate Mr. Wheel of Fortune later."

In fact, although Klein acted very relaxed, he couldn't help but worry about his debts even though he knew he didn't have to answer such embarrassing questions.

Well, the compensation is gold pounds...

Damn, now I owe another 100 pounds...

But Mr. Fool still had to pretend, and Klein could only accept the consequences with tears and add another 100 pounds to his debt.

In this regard, I can only congratulate Mr. Fool for once again maintaining his status and controlling the Tarot Club.

Well, except Star...

As for Star, who was watching the show and wondering how Xiao Ke would answer, he didn't expect the topic to be about him.

He had originally thought that if Xiao Ke hesitated for too long, he would offer to answer the question on his behalf, but Miss Zhengyi actually asked him directly, which saved him some trouble.

So he agreed without hesitation: "Of course, it's an honor to serve you, lovely Miss Justice."

This answer made Miss Justice blush slightly. She secretly complained that Mr. Wheel of Fortune really didn't know how to praise people. Cute was only used to describe children, and she was almost an adult.

And Star felt that this was not enough, so he continued with a deliberate smile:
"It is also an honor to answer such a small matter on behalf of Mr. Fool."

This is not only a characterization and explanation of the matter, but also a way to satisfy a little bit of evil taste in my heart.

But even though Star didn't use a yin-yang tone to emphasize words like "small matter", Klein still felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

What else can he do? He just needs to smile...

After all, Star, this relative, helped to maintain his style and specifically stated that this was a trivial matter.

Who told him that he didn't know much about the mysticism of this world?

I feel helpless at this time, it can't be because I feel sorry for the money...

Haha, Klein smiled, and silently laughed at himself in his heart with some sadness.

Damn, I feel so sad...

After Star said that he would answer the question after Mr. Fool finished reading the diary.

Audrey also expressed what she remembered about Emperor Roselle’s diary on the parchment that Klein materialized, and said:

"I'm sorry, there's not much to say on this page."

Klein raised his right hand, causing the parchment to appear directly in his palm, and responded casually:
"It's okay. I will still give Mr. Wheel of Fortune enough compensation. He will also give you a good explanation."

Holding back his heartache, Klein lowered his eyes and looked at the first few lines of the diary:
"On December 20th, a new year will begin again, but the feedback I received one after another made me very confused and embarrassed."

"There is no oil in this world! There is no oil in this world!"

What, no oil!?
Then what can I use to pay off Star’s debt!

Klein could no longer hold back the bitterness in his heart and almost spoke out in the gray fog.
