Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 211 Communication

Claire, spiritually exhausted, woke up from a rare deep nap. After washing up, it was almost three in the afternoon.

Sitting at the seats of the mottled and ancient long table were figures shrouded in gray fog.

When Claire saw the Black Emperor's blasphemous card placed next to The Fool, she anticipated the shock the Tarot Club would feel upon learning that the legendary treasure had been taken into The Fool's possession.

But...how did I get this card of blasphemy?

Claire glanced at the quiet Tarot Club members and noticed the self-satisfied movements of Audrey, the "Justice."

Is it related to Audrey?
Claire didn't delve into it.

Audrey was currently giving a private report to the Fool. The report included her interactions with the Psychological Alchemist Society last week, as well as the fact that the Church of Evernight had arranged for her to go to the Holy Temple for training.

Audrey has grown up... She didn't ask all her companions about exposing her identity at the party, but asked the Fool alone.

However… Klein Moretti, the former Nighthawk, had never attended the Holy Temple for training, so he couldn't offer much advice on this matter. He simply replied, "Just follow your heart."

Follow your heart… Audrey didn't know what she had read into this, but she concluded this private briefing with the Fool with great satisfaction and determination.

Then came the quiet moment as The Fool read the new Russell diaries. He read them quickly and hastily, and Claire confirmed that these diaries were not very valuable, just some trivial matters about Russell.

In the next transaction, the new member "Judgment" Xio participated in the transaction and bought the "Master of Magic" formula from "The World", which was obviously prepared for Fors.

In addition, Xio was also seeking the potion formula for Sequence 7 "Interrogator" from her own channel. Although she had only been promoted to "Sheriff" not long ago, she could obtain the potion formula in advance and start collecting the corresponding extraordinary materials.

Tessa said at this moment: "In the Kingdom of Loen where you are, there are many extraordinary people of the Arbitrator Path in the Military Intelligence Department, the nobles with a long history, and the royal family. They hold corresponding sequence inheritances."

"I know this..." Xio's words stopped abruptly. She had channels to contact MI7. She just wanted to try her luck at this mysterious Tarot gathering and try to buy the formula and the corresponding potion materials at a lower price.

During this time, Hugh accumulated a fortune by relying on the salary of the Red Glove informant, the arbitration commission that he did not give up, the remuneration for managing the Oak Leaf Bar, and the income from organizing extraordinary parties.

But the continuous purchase of promotion formulas and potion materials cost a lot of money, especially in the morning, when he saw the magical item from Miss "Viper" that could reverse divination and change body shape!
After Hugh's wallet was bleeding heavily, he subconsciously thought of various ways to save money.

The purchase of magical items has affected her savings for further advancement, but the expense is worth it, and as long as I take a break and continue to expand the extraordinary gathering of Oak Leaf, my wallet will be full again...

Xio thought so.

At this moment, The Fool held up the card of blasphemy next to him and pointed the card with the figure of "Roselle in black armor, a crown, and a cloak" towards everyone present.

The Fool's calm voice echoed throughout the giant's palace: "Miss Judgment, as you are about to enter the demigod realm, I can provide you with the formula for the Sequence 4 Lawmage potion."

"Lawmaster... is that the name of the Sequence 8 potion from the Arbitrator Path?" Xio asked in surprise. After all, she was only a Sequence , and it was inevitable that she would be overwhelmed with emotion when she suddenly heard something involving a demigod.

The pitch is so high that it is distorted.

The Fool chuckled and said, "You misunderstood, Miss Judgment. The Lawmage is Sequence Four in the adjacent Lawyer Path..."

Adjacent paths... After joining the Red Gloves, Xio became familiar with this concept, but it was the first time she knew that "lawyer" and "arbitrator" were adjacent paths.

Claire, who was listening in, was also thoughtful. The path where the "Night Emperor" was located was actually adjacent to the "Black Emperor" path... In other words, in the previous battle between the Four Emperors, the true gods of the adjacent paths had a direct conflict?
Claire vaguely sensed that there was some kind of divine secret hidden in this.

Above the gray fog, the Fool's voice was calm and distant: "I suggest you switch paths and become a 'Lawmage' at Sequence Four because this Blasphemous Card records the potion formula and corresponding knowledge that leads directly to the top of the Sequence." Blasphemous Card!

The Fool's calm words stunned everyone at the Tarot Club.

Only in a corner where no one noticed, "Justice" Audrey raised her head.

Noticing Audrey's actions, the Fool smiled gently and said, "You should thank Miss Justice for helping me confirm the location of this 'Blasphemy Card' a while ago."

Following the Fool’s words, everyone’s gaze shifted to Justice, who was standing below him.

Especially the "Hanged Man" opposite, his eyes were full of shock. In his mind, "Justice" had always been the image of an inexperienced aristocratic lady, and she was the candidate he had slowly begun to suspect!
Although there were many people of noble status among the candidates he guessed, it was hard to imagine that they could be linked to the "Blasphemy Card", a high-ranking item that contained clues to becoming a god!
Audrey suppressed her pride, stood up, and saluted the Fool gracefully. "I don't want to take credit for this. All of this was carefully arranged by Mr. Fool. I simply followed his instructions and conducted a small test at the right time and place."

The Hanged Man looked longingly and carefully at the Tarot card with Russell's image on it. He wished so much that it was a blasphemous card of the Sailor's Path.

However... there is a great chance... if Mr. Fool can find this blasphemous card, he may be able to find a new blasphemous card.

The Fool is indeed a resurrected god...

And I really envy the newly joined Miss "Judgment"... From now on, all the fog on the road will be dissipated under the guidance of the "Fool".

The Hanged Man's mind was full of thoughts and he was constantly sighing, becoming more and more awed by the fool.

Watching all this, Claire didn't feel any repulsion towards The Fool using the Blasphemy Card to exchange for Xio's loyalty.

Whether it is Xio or other members of the team, they are all her partners. She sincerely wishes them better development.

What's more, what fools trade is genuine knowledge, not the temptations of evil gods mixed with various pollutants.

At this moment, Xio, whose eyes had been opened, calmed down and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fool, for clearing up my confusion, but this is too advanced. I don't even know when I can reach Sequence Five..."

The Fool nodded slightly and put down the "Black Emperor" card. It seemed that he was just giving some guidance in his spare time.

Claire was aware that Klein Moretti was using this Blasphemous Card to showcase his true strength, in order to prevent any regrettable accidents from occurring within the increasingly powerful Tarot Club, especially since the members' status within other secret organizations had shown signs of improvement.

The Sun then recounted his recent troubles in the City of Silver. He did not want to team up with a dangerous captain to complete the exploration mission, and sought advice from the Tarot Club members.

The Hanged Man offered advice on evading the mission, interpreting this as a way to preserve a useful body. This dispelled the Sun's concerns and provided a detailed method for evading the mission:

The risk is controllable, putting oneself on the brink of losing control! No matter which organization it is, it is impossible to allow members with the risk of losing control to participate in the mission!

Although the interpretation of "The Hanged Man" makes sense, the method is very practical.

But Claire couldn't help but sigh. What on earth had the Hanged Man experienced in the Church of Storms? How could he be so skilled...

Then, the "Hanged Man" mentioned the Capin case that occurred in Backlund, and how the case was suspected to involve a slave ship that was suspected to exist on the sea.

"I recently returned to Backlund. This mission is very important to me... Do you have any clues?"
