Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 413 Additional Conditions for Medici

Faced with Amon's question, Roger thought for a moment and then answered:
"I'll go in a little while. I need Him to do something for me these days."

"You're in a hurry."

Amon, his monocle reflecting the gaslight, pointed it at Roger. He removed the white gloves he used for work and then asked:

"You're afraid Nast Solomon might sabotage you in the 'Ghost Empire' affair, so you need an angel-level helper?"

"That's something we've considered."

Roger nodded slightly. To be honest, he had been on guard against Nast from beginning to end because he lacked sufficient understanding of him.

In addition, since the "Ghost Empire" is likely to have an angel-level threat, Roger still needs an angel-level being to keep things under control, and the best choice at the moment is "Red Angel" Medici.

"That's right, boss."

Thinking of this, Roger curiously asked Amon:
"So, does Nast Solomon have any connection with the royal family of the Solomon Empire?"

He had always been very curious about this matter, because the Solomon Empire was an empire ruled by the true God that had already perished in the Fourth Age, and Amon, as the leader of one of the most important angelic families in the Fourth Age, should have a high probability of knowing about it.

"There is some connection, but if you are referring to blood ties, then I can only say that the relationship between Nast Solomon and Solomon is similar to that between Christopher and Bethel Abraham."

Amon smiled:
Rather than blood ties, it's more accurate to say that the rules left behind by the Solomon Empire were not completely eradicated after its fall.

“Nast Solomon’s move of these rules from the North to the sea was a clever trick.”

"Wait."

Roger was somewhat confused by this description:

"You mean that Nast Solomon, through the transfer rules, and by claiming to be a descendant of Emperor Solomon, and even by adopting his clothing style, gradually acquired a mystical similarity to Emperor Solomon over the past hundred years?"

"get?"

Amon scoffed:
"It's still early. Why do you think he's been hesitant to advance to Sequence 2 angels?"

"why?"

Roger pressed for an answer, his expression saying, "Teach me."

"One gold pound."

Amon raised an eyebrow and extended his hand to Roger.

"..."

Roger instantly felt like he was back in Tingen. He discovered that Amon seemed very enthusiastic about this childish game of "I won't tell you unless you pay me."

"Hey boss, is there some mystical reason behind your asking me for money?"

He couldn't help but think of this question and asked it.

"That's it."

Amon nodded:

"After all, I haven't helped you so much without expecting anything in return."

Upon hearing this, Roger pondered its meaning several times before asking any further questions. He simply took out a 1-gold pound note and handed it to Amon.

Amon put the money away, nodded in satisfaction, and continued:
"The mystical similarity to the true god of Sequence 0 is not so easy to obtain; there are two very crucial issues involved."

"First, the rules that Nast popularized at sea were partly a continuation of the Solomon Empire's system, and partly his own requirements."

"When he deliberately associates his image with Solomon, a very subtle phenomenon occurs: the direction of the anchor shifts in a mystical sense."

"This shift allows Nast to simultaneously anchor himself to the distorted image of 'Emperor Solomon' that he created, that is, he seizes the mystical influence of a deceased high-ranking figure by 'usurping' power from the latter in the 'Black Emperor' path."

"The use of the disorder of rules is enough to help him complete the 'Duke of Entropy' promotion ceremony, and it is also a prelude to the 'Prince Killer' role."

"I see."

Roger, upon hearing Amon's words, suddenly understood and asked again:
"So, he hasn't completed the ritual yet?"

"It's still a long way off."

Amon shook his head:

“You should know that the current Sequence 0 of the ‘Black Emperor’ pathway is occupied by Russell Gustav. As long as He does not fall, even if Solomon’s rules on this pathway are deeply engraved, Nast will not be able to obtain enough mystical similarity.”

"This is the second reason that I just mentioned to you."

"The core symbol of the 'Prince Killer' potion is the subversion of the rules of a kingdom in a mystical sense. In terms of an example that you humans can understand, it is the behavior of a prince or regent who has long disrupted or even stolen the royal power by eroding and corrupting the core of the power system."

"This involves not only a deep distortion of the rules, but also something that is directly related to the concept of power itself."

"As a usurper, one is naturally more sensitive to the matter of usurpation. Similarly, as an existing 'black emperor,' it is unlikely that subordinates will be able to seize the power that belongs to Him—this is determined by the nature of this path itself, or by its uniqueness."

At this point, Amon chuckled as if he had thought of something amusing:
"After all, a country can only have one emperor—this is perhaps a manifestation of the irreconcilable differences in opinion between Terensust and Solomon."

Upon hearing this, Roger nodded.

He had previously suspected that Nast's reluctance to allow him access to certain routes in the "Misty Sea" was related to the last tomb of Emperor Roselle, and now, after hearing Amon's words, he was even more certain of this.

Nast Solomon may not have wanted to create any variables in the matter of Emperor Roselle's slumber. If Emperor Roselle were to awaken, all the plans he had made along this path over the years would be completely ruined.

"So, his desire to explore the 'Ghost Empire' is to find a way out?"

Roger pressed for further details.

"That's right."

Amon nodded:

"Perhaps the promotion to 'Balancer' would be easier for Nast, but I'm not entirely sure about that."

"I see."

Roger nodded slightly:

"So, do you want Nast Solomon to become an angel?"

"This question is meaningless."

Amon shook his head:

"As you know, for me, there are only two kinds of things that are worth paying attention to below Sequence 1."

“One type is like you and Klein Moretti, and the other type is those whose strength and background are likely to become Sequence 0 True Gods.”

"Do you think Nast is unlikely to become the Sequence 0 True God of the 'Judgment' pathway?"

Roger asked curiously.

"He doesn't deserve it yet."

Amon shook his head, amusement on his face.
"Leaving aside the fact that two hundred years of accumulation is nothing at the top of the mystical world, the uniqueness of the 'Judge' path alone means that it is not something he can easily get his hands on."

"That thing is in the hands of the Church of the God of War, and it has been contaminated by the source material of the 'Disordered Kingdom'. I can't think of any possibility that Nast Solomon could contain it."

"So, what about the 'Black Emperor' route?"

Roger then asked:
“If I remember correctly, Adam once considered killing off Emperor Roselle and installing George III as the new ‘Black Emperor’.”

The implication is that it's not impossible for Adam to support Nast if he wanted to.

“That was true before, but now Adam needs to consider your thoughts more.”

Amon shook his head:

"After all, you've been arguing with him about this for a long time, and you even rescued Fabti. Adam wouldn't be that unwise."

"Of course, besides that, Adam may also think that Russell Gustav has other uses, so you can rest assured that no one can shake His position as the 'Black Emperor' for the time being."

"That's good."

Roger nodded, and he relaxed a little when he heard what Amon said.

"Then I'll go find Medici first."

Roger began to speak.

"Go."

Amon smiled:
"Just a heads-up, don't mention anything related to me, and His attitude will be much better."

"clear."

Roger nodded, gave Amon a slight bow, and then disappeared once again into a sea of azure light.

The market town of Trier in the Republic of Intis.

Roger emerged from the azure light and flew toward a hilltop not far away.

There, a handsome young man with long red hair and red eyes was gazing in the direction of downtown Trier. After hearing Roger land, the young man turned around and looked at him.

"Are you getting used to your body?"

Roger asked.

"It's much better than before. This body has a lot in common with my original self."

The young man answered without changing his expression.

This is none other than "Red Angel" Medici. Roger had previously relinquished control over him after the Ince Zangwell incident, allowing him to search for a suitable mid-series "Hunter" within the Ironblood Cross.

In this process, Medici's soul seems to have gained a certain advantage in the three-way game and initially achieved a dominant position on a spiritual level. At least the one speaking to Roger at the moment should be dominated by the "Red Angel" personality.

"By the way, why don't you stay in Trier? Are you afraid of being purified by the Church of the Eternal Sun?"

Roger asked curiously again.

Upon hearing this, Medici immediately retorted irritably:
"I've encountered some unpleasant things, but I don't want to go into details with you."

What a mess... is it related to Klein?

Roger spoke as he pondered:

"As previously agreed, I have brought you the extraordinary trait of 'Weather Wizard'."

Upon hearing this, Medici's expression instantly improved.

As He watched Roger take "Santander's Waiting" from his person, His eyes filled with longing, but then He heard Roger say:
"Besides helping my friend digest the potion, there's something else I need your help with."

"what's up?"

Medici frowned upon hearing this, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

“I’m going to investigate the ‘Ghost Empire’ left behind by Terensost with Nast Solomon, and I need you to help me keep things under control if necessary.”

Medici paused slightly upon hearing Roger's words, then frowned.

"That's not a nice place."

"If you handle this matter well for me, I can consider helping you take back the 'Conqueror' extraordinary item that the 'Witch Cult' possesses."

Roger's words have three meanings. The first meaning is that he expressed his support for Medici. The second meaning is an extension of the first meaning, that is, Roger would not support Chick becoming the "Cataclysm".

As for the third meaning, regardless of whether Medici could find other "Conqueror" extraordinary traits before Roger possessed the strength to fight against the "Witch Cult," Roger was willing to help Him become a Sequence 1 Archangel.

Thinking about this, Medici couldn't help but feel tempted.

If any other Sequence 3 Saint had said these things to Medici, He would have undoubtedly smashed the other person 5 kilometers underground with a hammer, but if it were Roger, the situation would be very different.

Unlike Adam and Amon, Medici had experienced firsthand what it was like to be controlled by that terrifying power beyond the sequence for over a year. Fortunately, Roger didn't control Medici to do anything strange, otherwise he would have been traumatized for life because of it.

He was unaware that the power of the "Key to the Gate" on Roger was waning. In other words, in His view, anything Roger promised could be considered a future event.

"can."

With that in mind, Medici agreed.

Roger breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

In fact, Medici, as the Angel King who has existed since the Third Age and has merged the consciousness of three Sequence 1 Archangels, most likely has some understanding of the "Ghost Empire," as evidenced by his reaction when he first heard Roger's intention to explore the ship.

This gave Roger a significant information advantage, and with Medici's help, he could even overwhelm Nast Solomon with his information superiority.

"Once you've managed to absorb the extraordinary properties within this sword, come find me on the western coast of Segal. Remember to return this sword to me; it belongs to the descendants of Santander."

"Time is tight, I'll give you one day to get these things done."

After saying this, Roger nodded slightly to Medici and then quickly disappeared.

If Medici could extract the "Weather Wizard" extraordinary ability from "Waiting for Santander," he could melt it in his mouth—as one of the most famous angel kings in history, His spiritual form had long been molded into the shape of "Conqueror."

As for how to extract the "Weather Wizard" extraordinary ability, that was not Roger's concern; he knew Medici should have plenty of ways.

Medici watched Roger leave, then looked at the "Waiting for Santander" in his hand and took a deep breath.

He leaped off the cliff with the sword in his hand and disappeared into the lush forest below in no time.

Backlund time, 3 p.m.

Roger, back in the captain's cabin of the "Star Lord," once again saw the rust-colored light erupting from his body. When he came to his senses, he was already sitting in a gray mist.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.

As usual, "Justice" Audrey greeted "The Fool" Klein and the other members of the "Tarot Club" in turn. Then, "The Fool" Klein looked at "The Hermit" Cattleya.

"What's the problem this time?"

"The Hermit" Cattleya nodded slightly; she still had four questions left for "The Fool".

“Dear Mr. Fool, I have two questions to ask you.”

"The Hermit" Cattleya paused, then continued:

"Do Emperor Roselle and the ancient sun god share any commonalities beyond divinity?"

This is also a direction that she and the "mysterious queen" Bernadette have been gradually considering recently. If the "homeland" of Emperor Roselle is not a land abandoned by the gods, nor is it an alien planet, then instead of continuing to dwell on the word "homeland" itself, it would be better to consider whether Emperor Roselle has anything in common with the "ancient sun god".

"Yes."

"The Fool" Klein nodded slightly.

What is this commonality?

"The Hermit" Cattleya asked again.

"You need to ask a different question."

Mr. Fool's heart tightened upon hearing this question, but he smiled lightly on the surface.

As cautious as Klein was, he would never casually reveal such an important clue as the transmigrator, because it was his most important advantage in terms of information asymmetry in this world, and it would be truly foolish to reveal it carelessly.

"Then... are there other deities that share this common characteristic?"

The "Hermit" Cattleya's mind raced, and she changed her approach.

"I believe it exists."

"The Fool" Klein adopted an ambiguous approach. In fact, he could have given "The Hermit" Cattleya a definite answer, but he didn't intend to be too explicit about matters involving the privacy of the gods.

Even if Cattleya followed this line of thought, it was unlikely that she would deduce the possibility of a "time traveler." However, before Klein truly understood the complete inside story of this time travel, he still wanted to maintain a cautious attitude towards this issue.

Upon hearing "The Fool" Klein's reply, "The Hermit" Cattleya nodded slightly:
"Thank you, Mr. Fool."

"You can start."

"The Fool" Klein indicated that the "Tarot Meeting" could proceed to a free discussion.

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune,' I have something I'd like to ask you."

"The Hanged Man," Alger asked immediately.

"Speaking?"

Roger smiled and said, "Wheel of Fortune." In fact, he could basically guess what Alger wanted to ask, which was nothing more than about Zaka Island or Nast, the "King of the Five Seas."

Sure enough, Alger, the "Hanged Man," immediately spoke up:
"These past two days, the Church of Storms has been arranging for some captains to transport building materials to Zaka Island in the White Whale Sea. I heard that this seems to be related to the Church of Storms' plan to hand over Zaka Island to some natives who have just emerged from the 'Misty Sea' as a settlement. I would like to ask if you are aware of this matter?"

"of course."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded slightly.
“Those natives are called the Kesk people. They are my followers, and it was through communication between Lord 'High Priest of the Deep Blue' that I helped them choose Zaka Island as their settlement.”

Could you please share what happened?

Alger, the "Hanged Man," asked with great interest, then added:
"Of course, please feel free to bring up any aspects that require payment."

"It's alright, it's a small matter. If you happen to pass by Zaka Island later, just look after them for me."

Roger shook his head, and then recounted his experiences on Koske Island, but omitted the sensitive details.

He spent a lot of time describing his exploration of the underground tomb. The other members of the "Tarot Club" listened intently to these stories, especially when they heard that "Matriarch of the Wasteland" Aika Carlisle had created thousands of evil spirits, which sent chills down their spines.

And the "Hermit" Cattleya finally understood why Roger had temporarily borrowed the "Pale Death," a level 0 sealed artifact, from the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette. If that was the case, then this sealed artifact was indeed needed to restrain those evil spirits and even Eka Carlisle herself.

After Roger finished recounting the whole story, "Justice" Audrey spoke up again:

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune,' regarding the stock issuance of the trading company that we previously discussed, the preliminary review of the documents has been approved."

"My friend's subordinates are currently conducting financial accounting with your company to determine the specific share and details of the stock issuance. Because it is an urgent matter, it is expected that the announcement will be published in the newspaper within half a month at the earliest."

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss 'Justice'."

"Wheel of Fortune," Roger said gratefully. He could sense that Audrey had put a lot of effort into this matter, and he couldn't rule out the possibility that she had used some connections outside of Viscount Grelint.

He then added:
"I can help you complete the 'Dream Walker' advancement ceremony within the next two days, but if it takes more than two days, you'll probably have to wait about 10 more days."

"Where are you going, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'?"

"The World," Gehrman Sparrow asked, instinctively assuming Roger was going to go to space again to do something.

"I'm going to explore a ghost ship."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," didn't hide anything from Klein, and continued:

"It is a product of the Terence-era Tronsus Empire."

"The Empire of Terensost?"

Upon hearing this, the "Hermit" woman narrowed her eyes immediately and said:

"May I ask, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune,' is the 'Ghost Empire' that you are investigating?"

Ghost Empire?

Upon hearing this name, everyone in the Tarot Club turned their attention to the "Hermit" lady.

Apart from Alger, the "Hanged Man," everyone else was hearing this name for the first time, and the name itself was full of mystery and sparked a lot of imagination.

"Yes."

Roger nodded slightly.

"Was it the 'King of the Five Seas' who invited you to go together?"

"The Hermit," Cattleya asked again.

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," raised an eyebrow:

"Could it be that the 'mysterious queen' also received an invitation?"

"No."

The "Hermit" Cattleya shook her head:
"However, I heard her mention before that the 'King of the Five Seas' seemed to be very interested in that ghost ship."

"I see."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded slightly.
"Yes, we have already met."

"Do you know what the 'King of the Five Seas' aims are?"

"The Hermit" Cattleya paused, then continued:

"I can exchange this information for a certain price."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," thought for a moment, then replied:

"No reward is needed, because although I can answer this question, I can only give a very vague answer."

He is seeking a promotion.

"I understand."

The "Hermit" Cattleya nodded slightly, and then she said:
"Also, regarding that deal you mentioned last time, can it be fulfilled now?"

She was referring to the exchange of the right to lease "Pale Death" for information about the "Mother Tree of Desire".

"can."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded, then looked at Mr. "The Fool":
"Dear Mr. 'Fool,' could you please help me and Ms. 'Hermit' create a private dialogue environment?"

"no problem."

"The Fool" Klein nodded slightly, and with a snap of his fingers, Roger sensed a change in the surrounding atmosphere, as if the transmission path of the sound waves had been controlled.

“‘Hermit’ lady, before answering your question, I need to clarify three things.”

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," looked at Cattleya and crossed his arms:
"First, information about that great being is limited to communication here. You cannot casually tell anyone, including the 'mysterious queen' Bernadette."

"If you absolutely must discuss this matter, please speak with me and Mr. Fool at the 'Tarot Club' separately."

"Secondly, after you hear the relevant information, you cannot think or investigate outside of the 'Tarot Club,' and you cannot try to develop corresponding spells by using the abilities of 'mystics.' I believe that as a high-sequence 'mystic,' you have spells that can block your specific thoughts."

"Third, you may not get involved in any situation related to that great being without my permission, including but not limited to deep contact with the 'Rose School,' contact with the high-sequence seals of the two extraordinary pathways of 'Prisoners' and 'Criminals,' and you may not approach the southern region of the Southern Continent at will."

"In addition, you must also make sure to pray to Mr. 'He Xing' and Mr. 'Fool' once a day."

"If you notice any behavior or tendency that you unconsciously violates the above agreement, please try to notify me immediately, and I will come to your side to help you."

Originally, "Hermit" Cattleya was somewhat looking forward to the knowledge Roger was about to trade to her, but now, hearing Roger say this, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Cattleya glanced at Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" a few more times, then looked at Mr. "The Fool," and said:
“Dear Mr. Fool, I…”

"Just do as he says."

"The Fool" Klein answered, knowing that Roger must have already considered the consequences if he agreed to make a deal with "The Hermit" Cattleya.

Both he and Roger were able to provide protection for "Hermit" Cattleya. Under such circumstances, even the "Mother Tree of Desire" could not easily corrupt her if she kept her promise.

"Thank you, Mr. Fool."

The Hermit, Cattleya, finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Roger, the Wheel of Fortune:
"Please begin, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

"it is good."

Roger nodded slightly:

"The evil god you are concerned about in the 'Rose School' is called the 'Mother Tree of Desire.' I cannot tell you His name, but I can tell you that He is the true master of the two paths of 'criminal' and 'prisoner.'"

"The extraordinary and unique characteristics of Sequence 1 in these two pathways were once occupied by 'Dark Side of the Universe' Fabuti and 'God of Spirits' Torzner, respectively. Although the situation of these two has changed to some extent, 'Mother Tree of Desire' has still not successfully reclaimed its power in these two pathways."

The Mother Tree of Desire...

Upon hearing this, the "Hermit" Cattleya quickly considered the matter for a moment, and then asked:
"If what you're saying is true, then He should have already lost His own power. Why then is He still able to maintain such a suppressive force over the 'dark side of the universe'? Is this related to mystical symbols?"

“Mystical symbolism is one aspect; on the other hand, He lost less than half of His power.”

Roger shook his head and replied.

"Less than half the power?"

Upon hearing this, the "Hermit" Cattleya was startled. She seemed to have realized something and quickly spoke:

"Are you suggesting that He has other means of power?"

"Yes."

Roger nodded slightly.

Which route?

"The Hermit" Cattleya pressed on with another question.

"can not say."

Roger shook his head. He knew that the Mother Tree of Desire also had authority over "desire" and "roaring," but this information could easily be interpreted in a mystical sense as the complete three-part title of "Mother Tree of Desire, Eternal Roarer, God of Lost Heart." Therefore, he absolutely could not tell Cattleya the corresponding information at the moment.

The hermit, Cattleya, nodded upon hearing this and then asked:

Is He in the astral plane? Or the spirit realm?

"can not say."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," shook his head, then added:
"What I can tell you is that most of the Sequence 0 level gods you know are on the opposite side of Him, constantly on guard against His unusual movements, including some of the traditional evil gods."

"This……"

The Hermit, Cattleya, was taken aback:

"Who is not included?"

"I can't tell you exactly who it is, but I can tell you the numbers."

Roger shook his head, then said:

"Among these evil gods, one is an ally of the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' one has an independent stance, and the rest can all be seen as standing on the opposite side of the 'Mother Tree of Desire.'"

"All the rest?"

The Hermit, Cattleya, felt that this short sentence contained a great deal of information.

Not only her, but even "The Fool" Klein fell into deep thought because of Roger's words.

"I'd like to offer a different perspective on this issue, and I would appreciate your confirmation."

The "Hermit" Cattleya tried to calm herself down before pressing for an answer:
"In other words, apart from the two exceptions you mentioned, the gods of Sequence 0 also share a common enemy, the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' because they are hostile to each other due to their adjacent pathways?"

"Yes."

Roger nodded slightly.

"To be honest, this information really exceeded my previous understanding."

The hermit, Cattleya, remarked:

“It may take me some time to process this information… Of course, as you said, I will only process this information at the 'Tarot Meeting'.”

“After you finished explaining the precautions, I used a special spell I had set up to block my further thoughts on these matters… Just as you said, as a ‘peeper,’ I do indeed possess spells in this area.”

"That's good."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded slightly.
“There is one more thing you need to be careful about, which is that when you pray to Mr. ‘He Xing’ and Mr. ‘Fool’, you must specifically mention the phenomenon of ‘knowledge chasing people’ as one of the reasons for seeking protection.”

Upon hearing this, the "Hermit" Cattleya immediately realized something, and she nodded instantly:

“I understand, Mr. Wheel of Fortune.”

"Then, that's settled."

Roger smiled and said, "The Wheel of Fortune," before adding:
"Once I finish exploring the 'Ghost Empire,' I will return 'Pale Death' to the 'Mysterious Queen.'"

"There is one more thing I need to explain in advance: I may need to use 'Pale Death' again later. I will contact you in advance once the specific time is determined."

"Ok."

The Hermit, Cattleya, nodded:
"I will convey this to the Queen."

"Good work."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded slightly, then turned to Mr. "Fool," indicating that the blocking mechanism could be removed.

After the blocking mechanism was lifted, "Justice" Audrey spoke to Roger:

“Mr. ‘Wheel of Fortune’, I’ve been thinking about this. If possible, could you please help me advance to the level of ‘Dream Walker’ tonight?”

"Okay, what time exactly, and where?"

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," agreed, but he needed to arrange the time in advance.

"It'll be eight o'clock tonight. I'll let you know the exact location through Mr. 'Fool' after this meeting."

"Justice," Audrey said after thinking for a moment.

"no problem."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded slightly.
"Prepare the potion ingredients in advance, and I will arrive at the location you specify about 15 minutes beforehand."

"No problem, thank you."

"Justice," Audrey said gratefully, her heart pounding with emotion.

"You are welcome."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," shook his head. He was also looking forward to seeing Audrey again. Roughly speaking, the last time the two met was when Prince Edsack organized a party at the manor, which was about a year ago.

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'"

At this moment, Emlyn, the "Moon," spoke:
There's something I need to tell you.

"According to Marquis Nibais, the vampires have agreed to the deal you proposed, and they have asked when you would be available to meet again to discuss the specific details of the deal."

Upon hearing this, Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," felt even happier, as this brought him one step closer to successfully becoming a "Star Singer."

In addition, the promise of Lilith, the progenitor of the vampires, is also very important. Her assistance is related to several of Roger's plans from Sequence 2 to Sequence 0, and now that they can finally be implemented, he is also excited.

"Wait until I finish investigating the 'Ghost Empire' and come back."

Roger, referring to the "Wheel of Fortune," then added:
"By the way, speaking of this, the 'Ghost Empire' only appears during the full moon, but outsiders are not allowed to enter the ship during the full moon, so I may not be able to explore it until after the full moon."

"This could take anywhere from 3 to 7 days."

"I don't know if I will be able to participate in the Tarot Club normally in the 'Ghost Empire', so if you don't see me appear on time next time, don't worry too much about me."

After saying this, he looked at Mr. "Fool" and said:

“Mr. Fool, please forgive my absence if that happens.”

Upon hearing this, "Fool" Klein nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fate,' could you please elaborate on the matter of the 'Ghost Empire'?"

At this moment, "Magician" Fors asked with some curiosity:
"Of course, I'm happy to pay if there's a fee."

"can."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," nodded slightly.
"If anyone else wants to know this information, they can join the deal."

"Because this isn't important information, I'll also keep some of the truly crucial information to myself."

"So as for compensation, I'll just give each participant 300 gold pounds as a token."

300 gold pounds... just a token...

Klein, the "Fool," twitched at the corner of his eye.

Although he is now a saint, 300 gold pounds is still a considerable sum of money for him.

Klein then suppressed the idea of involving Mr. "World" in the deal. After all, as Mr. "Fool," he could listen in either way, so not participating in the deal wouldn't affect the actual outcome.

But then, one by one, members of the "Tarot Club" raised their hands to indicate their willingness to participate in the transaction, and Roger's accounts receivable instantly exceeded 1000 gold pounds.

For a moment, apart from Mr. World, only Mr. Suns Derrick did not raise his hand.

"Mr. 'Sun', would you like to participate in this deal?"

"Wheel of Fortune," Roger smiled and looked at Derrick, asking the question.

“I have no gold pounds.”

"The Sun" Derrick shook his head:

"I don't pay much attention to this kind of thing."

"Ok."

Roger, the "Wheel of Fortune," was somewhat disappointed. He nodded and then looked at Mr. "The World."

Would you like to participate, Mr. 'World'?

Seeing that "The Sun" Derrick was not participating, Mr. World felt more confident.

He shook his head and let out a hoarse laugh:

"I don't need it."
