Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 118: News from Star

"If that's what you're asking, maybe I can tell you the answer now."

The sudden sound left the Hanged Man speechless.

Wheel of fortune, it's him again!

Is there anything else about the Wheel of Fortune that he doesn't know?

The Hanged Man turned to Star in astonishment and asked:
"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, do you know the answer to this?"

Star looked confident and said with certainty:

"Yes, in the name of Mr. Fool, I am sure that the information I know is true."

"As for how it was obtained, this is not within the scope of my answer."

You can just open your mouth and copy the answer, this business is really easy to do... Star felt emotional in his heart.

Praise the fool!
If it weren't for Xiao Ke, even if he established himself as a knowledgeable person, he would still have to go through a credibility assessment.

And now, Alger believed it!

This is the credit that the Fool brings him!

When Alger heard Star's answer, he had to suppress his surprise and thought:

Miss Justice is a noble of the Kingdom of Loen, so it is possible that she knows information in this regard.

But how did Mr. Wheel of Fortune find out?

After thinking it over and over again, the Hanged Man had no choice but to think like this:
That’s right, maybe that’s not the case. Mr. Fool wouldn’t choose Mr. Wheel of Fortune as his follower just because of his abilities…

To find out the exact situation, we need to wait and see what Mr. Wheel of Fortune will say later.

But, how much does this information cost...

For a moment, "The Hanged Man" Alger glanced at the other members of the Tarot Club, then looked at Star, and hesitated.

He is so mysterious...Audrey looked at Star in surprise.

After all, based on what she had seen and heard in various social occasions during this period, she was only vaguely certain about it, but she couldn't say it with full confidence like Star.

Klein was once again startled by Star. Fortunately, he was not asked to verify the authenticity of the information.

But to be honest, Star wouldn't use Mr. Fool's name to commit fraud, so does Star really know?

Did Star's golden finger come into play after arriving in Backlund, or did this senior time traveler have a source of information that he didn't know about?

I always feel that Star is a little too powerful. Why don't I trust him a little more?
Well, it doesn’t cost money anyway…

Soon, the Hanged Man Alger came up with an idea. He looked at Star and asked, "What do you want?"

"Seven strands of deep sea naga hair."

Star didn't hesitate and gave his answer.

This was the auxiliary material on the "Faceless Man" that he had commissioned to be collected at the last Tarot Club. Mentioning it would also help in reminding the "Hanged Man" to collect it as soon as possible.

Star didn't want to wait for a few months to digest the potion, but found that he didn't have any extraordinary materials, so he let Xiao Ke know that he was also collecting extraordinary materials from the "Faceless Man".

So will he sell it or not?
It’s better to advance earlier and prepare an extra copy of these materials.

If Klein asks about it later, and if there really is an extra copy, I can sell it to him.

If not, then I would say that I have created a magical item that can change my appearance...

Of course, if Alger took the initiative to ask for money, that would be possible.

But the political commissar is still the same as always, letting me make the offer...

Alger heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this answer. Fortunately, the price was not too high, so he agreed immediately.

Then Star told the answer he knew:

"The King and the Prime Minister have reached a consensus to abandon the plan to retaliate against the Feysac Empire on the east coast of Balam in a short period of time."

"They believe that the most important thing at the moment is to push forward the previous reform plan, use public examinations to determine government affairs personnel, and hope to get this passed by both the House of Lords and the House of Commons before October."

These few short sentences stunned the other people in the Tarot Club at the same time.

This!? *3
Surprise from the Fool, the Hanged Man, and Justice.

The first thing that came to Klein's mind was that his keyboard politics had actually come true, and his brother Benson could take the civil service exam.

Then he analyzed something from Star's tone and was suddenly a little surprised.

Sta said these words with such confidence, could he have any connections with the upper echelons of the Loen Kingdom? Then what am I thinking about? Shouldn't I just hug my thighs first...

No, you still have to rely on yourself. It's shameful to use backdoors...

So he fell into a period of tangled reflection. Audrey was very surprised at first and smiled beautifully.

"The method of public examination to determine government affairs personnel" is the first thing she tries to do with her own abilities to covertly guide after becoming an "audience". If it can become a reality, it will make her feel full of a sense of accomplishment!

But Audrey was not proud of herself for changing the kingdom. She silently reminded herself: The success of this matter was inseparable from the good idea of ​​Mr. Wheel of Fortune... and of course, Mr. Fool.

Then, the words she heard from Star reminded her of her father and brother, who used the same tone when they talked about current political affairs.

But judging from Mr. Wheel of Fortune's initial etiquette and other performances, it seems that he is not a nobleman either.

But if only Mr. Wheel of Fortune were really some prince...

Um, no, what is she thinking?
So Miss Justice also fell into a period of tangled reflection.

Alger was shocked by what Star said.

Years of experience have told him that no ordinary person could have access to such confidential information!
Even the nobles at the top of the Loen Kingdom, such as Earl Hall and Duke Nigan...

They will only discuss these matters with close members of parliament.

As for the younger generations in their family, they generally don't let them get involved.

The place where the discussion was taking place was also guarded. How could people get the information? Could it be that Mr. Wheel of Fortune got the information from their dog?

Therefore, combined with the fact that the Augustus mentioned earlier also had access to the "lawyer" channel, Alger had a guess.

Otherwise, the hidden power behind the Wheel of Fortune is the royal family, and the Fool and the royal family have reached some kind of cooperation.

Either that or the Wheel of Fortune has already infiltrated the upper echelons of the kingdom and has its own channels or “white gloves” there.

It is possible that he had made some kind of push in the House of Lords behind the "civil service system"...

Alger was wondering if he should be more friendly to Mr. Wheel of Fortune, not just because of Mr. Fool's power.

By the way, with Mr. Wheel of Fortune’s erudite background, he should have adjusted his position earlier.

When it comes to revealing information, who else can compare with the Wheel of Fortune in the Tarot Club except Mr. Fool?

As a result, Alger fell into a period of tangled reflection while thinking.

Regardless of what the other members of the Tarot Club thought, Star looked around at the members leisurely, with a smile on his face.

In the magnificent temple above the gray fog, quietness and silence suddenly became the mainstream.

At this time, Audrey felt like she should say something.

So she looked at the Hanged Man and asked a random question:

"Ah yes, Mr. Hanged Man, did you receive the 900 pounds in cash?"

Since the Hanged Man still owed Star 100 pounds for his diary, it was actually Audrey who paid Star 100 pounds more in the end.

Alger received only 900 pounds.

"I'm sorry, I'm still at sea and haven't returned to land yet." Alger didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and answered Star directly, "Mr. Wheel of Fortune, I am very satisfied with your news. In exchange, I will collect the deep-sea Naga's hair as soon as possible."

Star nodded and said, "Actually, if you collect a portion of it, you can trade it to me through Mr. Fool. Probably half."

Alger said he understood. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head to look at the top of the bronze table:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to ask one thing. Is the 'Sanctuary' of the True Creator promoted by the Aurora Society the legendary 'Land Abandoned by God'?"

The Forsaken Land? Isn't this where the new members are? But I don't even know Giant language yet, so this is not something I can touch now. How do you want me to answer? Klein almost twitched his mouth.

He looked at Star calmly, thought for a few seconds, and felt that Star would not spoil the show, so he answered:

"This is not something you should know now."

Alger's heart tightened, and he immediately lowered his head and said:
"Please forgive my slight transgression."

Audrey was about to ask what the "God-forsaken Land" was, but after hearing this, she gave up the idea.

The Tarot Club continued to develop as it had originally done. Klein allowed other members to join other organizations while joining the Tarot Club.

He also said that as long as his existence is not revealed, the beliefs here are open and inclusive.

Who made him a traitor?

To further reduce possible disturbances.

In addition, Star was worried that Amon would sneak into the Tarot Club due to his own butterfly effect, so he solemnly warned Klein about some things and taught him the dangers of the extraordinary world.

So Klein deliberately remained silent for a few seconds, then spoke the words he had come up with in a solemn manner:

"My name must not be recited without my permission."

Except for Star... Klein took a guilty look at the person who appeared to be the First Follower of the Fool but was actually the boss mentor of his "cult" organization - "Wheel of Fortune" Star.

So after sending everyone else away, Klein was finally able to ask Star all the questions he had accumulated.
