Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 154 Invitation to Miss Justice

After hearing Mr. Fool's euphemistic answer, Alger withdrew his gaze with a mixture of disappointment and anticipation.

"Ok."

He was not too depressed because neither Mr. Wheel of Fortune nor Mr. Fool had said anything final about the matter, so there was still a chance.

Maybe in the next few weeks, Mr. Fool will be interested and will let his other followers go to Backlund?
I just don't know, except for the diary of Emperor Roselle that was paid to Mr. Fool.

How many gold medals will he give to Mr. Wheel of Fortune...

Audrey, who was sitting beside the long table, was now quietly watching the "Wheel of Fortune" Star.

After becoming a Beyonder, she really wanted to meet those people who had only existed in legends in her circle before—

For example, the "Ghost Rider" some time ago, or the seven pirate generals on the sea...

However, at this moment, the Hanged Man's commission was to Mr. Wheel of Fortune, and she was too embarrassed to interrupt.

It is also very interesting to see how Mr. Wheel of Fortune solves Mr. Hanged Man's commission~
Miss Justice looked at Mr. Wheel of Fortune, whose face was blurred by the gray mist, sitting directly opposite the long table.

These days, listening to other nobles talking about the "Ghost Rider", as a "mind reader", she felt that this was a feeling that no one else knew but she did.

A bit unexpectedly interesting?
So now, her eyes are always on him, so she shouldn't have any other complicated thoughts, right?

Fortunately, Miss Justice was immersed in her own interests and did not pay much attention to the fact that a certain member was almost unable to control his facial expression due to his distress.

Mr. Fool was able to perform his role well today~
Considering that although he knew a lot of information about Qilingos, he still needed to rely on others for follow-up, Sta did not directly expose his omniscience.

He then asked:

"I need more information."

So that Fors and Xio can find Qilingos more purposefully... Star silently thought of the idea of ​​outsourcing.

Facing Star's question, Alger, the "Hanged Man", barely hesitated and answered directly without thinking:

"The true name of that magical object is unknown, but those who know it call it 'Creeping Hunger'. Qilingos must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living person every other day, otherwise it will take its own master instead."

Hearing this, Audrey, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a little uneasy.

She was somewhat repulsed by this evil creature that thirsted for the blood and souls of living people.

Maybe Mr. Wheel of Fortune will take action... Thinking of this, Miss Justice relaxed her brows, her eyes brightened, and she was looking forward to the encounter between "Pirate General" and "Ghost Rider".

Alger continued to describe in considerable detail:
"Since acquiring 'Creeping Hunger', Qilingos has become very difficult to deal with."

"He was originally just a 'Wind Blesser' with good extraordinary abilities in the fields of water, wind, and weather. But later, people discovered that he could make his targets go crazy, enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead, strengthen himself with singing, and change into the appearance of different people... He is almost omnipotent."

"We suspect this is all caused by the magical item 'Creeping Hunger'."

After saying this, he looked at Star, wanting to know the opinion of this knowledgeable gentleman.

However, if this information is too expensive, he probably won't pay it because he is worried about how to pay Star later.

Star thought about it: Miss Justice would definitely have to tell her the relevant information later, and it would be a bit unreasonable to only take advantage of the "Hanged Man".

And this seems to be something that "Little Sun" will also share for free next week?

Star, who had no shortage of intelligence money, said to the Hanged Man Alger:

"I roughly know what this is, but I will need your help with some other things later, and find a 'craftsman' to help me create a magical item."

The Hanged Man, who knew that he had taken advantage and happened to know a "craftsman", had no objection to this. He only listened to Star's narration:

"This is the ability of Sequence 5 'Shepherd' of the 'Secret Prayer' pathway."

"It can devour the souls of others, including resentful souls and evil spirits, and drive these souls in a unique way, using their certain abilities accordingly, just like herding lambs for the gods."

"How much power one possesses depends only on how many extraordinary souls one has devoured. This is extremely terrifying, almost equivalent to a high-sequence strongman."

"Of course, there is a limit to the number of souls that a 'shepherd' can devour and herd, but they can be replaced."

"Since you said he can change his face, then many things will be difficult to track down."

"You can materialize his portrait, but there's no guarantee it will be useful. Let's focus on Qilingos' hobbies and habits." So next, with Klein's permission and help, Alger materialized Qilingos' portrait.

This one of the seven pirate generals had a distinctive wide chin, his brown hair was tied into an ancient warrior's bun at the back of his head, and his dark green eyes seemed to be smiling, but they were unusually cold.

Then Alger said:

"He likes to eat fish very much, especially fish from the ocean, sliced ​​and eaten raw..."

"He loves to drink strong drinks and despises champagne, red wine, etc..."

"Once ashore, he always looks for a woman to vent his anger, and his strong body makes it impossible for a single woman to satisfy him..."

"He is used to using cold weapons and rejects hot weapons."

"It's hard for him to be out of the water for long periods of time, I mean, he's swimming or diving every few days."

……

Star remembered them one by one, sketched and fleshed out the character named Qilingos in his mind, and then smiled and said, "Okay."

"Pleasant to work with."

Alger also smiled and spoke with satisfaction.

After so many Tarot Clubs, he believed in the "Wheel of Fortune", a follower of Mr. Fool and a very powerful one in Backlund.

Then Star waited quietly for other members of the Tarot Club to speak to see if there was anything else.

Seeing that the scene had become quiet for a while, as if there was no commission, he understood:
The Hanged Man's current focus is still on Qilingos, who holds his secrets, and Miss Justice has just been promoted to "Mind Reader" and has no needs now.

And it seems that she can already make an appointment with Sta, and even if she has any needs, she can find Sta offline to solve them...

So, is it time for the "Wheel of Fortune" to revitalize the Tarot Club?

Without any hesitation, Star said to The Hanged Man:
"By the way, I have a Beyonder Feature here and I need your help to find a 'craftsman' to process it for me."

"It is the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 6 'Judge' of the 'Arbitrator' pathway."

"By the way, I have two 'Arbitrator' pathway Sequence 9 Beyonder traits, and one Sequence 8 'Sheriff' Beyonder trait that require your help."

"It comes with the formula for the Arbitrator pathway from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7."

"I know you have reached land now, and you may even come to Backlund to investigate the matter of Qilingos."

"You don't need to take action now under the pressure of MI9. Just help me sell it when you find a chance."

Perhaps Backlund was still investigating some Beyonder gathering where someone was selling the “Arbitrator” path Beyonder characteristic, so Star did not let “The Hanged Man” Alger take the risk to do this.

Seeing that Star had thought it through so thoroughly, Alger agreed, and at the same time, he was somewhat impressed by the insight of the Wheel of Fortune:
I could actually guess that he was in Backlund right away from the fact that he had commissioned Qilingos.

It was just like what Emperor Roselle had said, those "wise men" who had received the script...

When Audrey heard about the formula and extraordinary properties of the "Arbitrator" pathway, she thought of Miss Hugh.

She wondered whether she should take this opportunity to buy Miss Xiu the potion formula and extraordinary properties as a reward for letting Miss Xiu do something.

Just as I was about to say something to Mr. Wheel of Fortune, Star spoke first:
“Mr. Fool, I request to speak to Miss Justice alone.”

Star did not forget Miss Xiu, who was also on the "Arbitrator" path. He certainly did not mind selling the Beyonder characteristics from Sequence 8 to Sequence 6 separated from Heras and the subsequent potion formulas to her.

However, the Sequence 8 potion formula was the reward for this mission to investigate Qilingos, but Star had other ideas:
He couldn't let anyone else find out that he had outsourced this task!
So when Mr. Fool blocked the Hanged Man's senses, Star spoke under Miss Audrey's puzzled and curious gaze:

"Ms. Justice, I have something to talk to you about later."

"If you have any ideas about these potion formulas and extraordinary materials, you can tell me then."

"There will be a party soon, so let's meet at that time."

But Viscount Greylint is indeed going to have a literary salon, and Miss Justice was a little overwhelmed for a moment:
Um~ But I wanted to stay at home today, so I wore casual clothes, not a dress...
