Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 146: A New Destiny Potion

"Okay." Padomeow nodded. "I have another commission. To assassinate the Intis Republic's ambassador to the Kingdom of Loen, Beckron Jean Martin."

It wasn't that Klein needed help, but it was difficult for him to break into the embassy without being discovered.

"Assassinating the Intis Republic ambassador?" Justice Audrey couldn't control herself and asked in shock, "Miss Wheel of Fortune, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Your actions will cause disputes between the two countries and may even lead to war!" As a qualified noble lady, Audrey's first thought was international relations.

To Audrey this was ridiculous.

The Hanged Man, Alger, didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his opinion, everyone in the Tarot Club had their own goals to achieve, and it was quite normal to issue some slightly unusual commissions.

"I know exactly what I'm doing," Padmeow replied.

After thinking for a moment, Padu imitated Mebius' tone and said, "Of course I have my own plans. You don't have to worry about it."

"Your behavior is extremely irresponsible!" Audrey was a little angry.

Padomeow shrank his neck. It turned out that he couldn't control Sister Snake's temperament at all.

"I can't bring myself to kill an innocent person for no reason." Audrey shook her head. "And it would probably start a war... I won't stop it, but I won't provide assistance either."

"Miss Justice, I think you seem to have misunderstood something," Serris suddenly said. "This Ambassador Beckram is also the head of the Intis Republic's intelligence in the Kingdom. He secretly supported the bloody marches, orchestrated events to undermine the relationship between the nobility and the wealthy, and spread rumors to incite the people to oppose the government."

"This isn't a good person. In the eyes of some radicals, this person can't even be called a human being, right?" Cerus asked Audrey.

"I understand." Audrey nodded, feeling her conscience soothed.

"Whether war breaks out between the two countries depends solely on whether the leaders of both sides want to fight. The life and death of a diplomat won't play a big role," added the Hanged Man, Alger.

"So what is Intis, and what is an ambassador..." Derrick asked weakly.

"Intis is the name of a country, and an ambassador...is someone who communicates between countries." Audrey explained to Little Sun.

"Thank you." Derrick thanked.

"Can I ask why you wanted to assassinate the ambassador?" Audrey asked Padmeow.

Padomeow thought about it. Klein didn't say why he couldn't reveal the reason. "Because he repeatedly sent people to assassinate us."

Assassination? Audrey and Alger couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

Someone who wants to assassinate an ambassador... No, a cat.

He is indeed an extraordinary person favored by Mr. Fool.

Audrey and Alger couldn't help but sigh.

"I can try to complete this task, but there is no guarantee of success." Audrey gave the answer.

Since the other party was the first to attack, Audrey's last bit of psychological burden was gone.

Compared to whether he was an ambassador or not, his fellow members in the Tarot Club were more important.

Our Miss Justice is also a person who helps her relatives instead of others, not to mention that in this matter, they are already in the right.

"What kind of compensation are you willing to pay?" Alger asked in a low voice.

"That depends on the difficulty of completing it," Padmeow replied, "Mr. Fool will serve as a witness."

Everyone who had never thought that Mr. Fool would make a foul call thought this deal was quite reasonable.

"In that case, I'll accept this quest as well," Serris said. "But I won't go out of my way to look for him. If he shows up in front of me, then it's his bad luck."

Padmeow nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Audrey was the second person to propose a deal after Padmeow.

"I want to know information related to dragons." Audrey clearly remembered that Mr. Sun called the audience path the dragon path and said that it originated from the dragon clan.

Although Audrey couldn't understand how the dragon, a symbol of power, and the observant audience were connected.

Derrick finally found a topic he could chime in on. "I have information about dragons, and I'd like to get information about your world."

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before Silver City could leave the God-forsaken Land. Derrick planned to first inquire about the news of the outside world so that they could better integrate into life outside.

"Okay." Audrey nodded. "Then Mr. Fool will witness whether the intelligence transaction between the two parties is of equal value."

Klein the Fool nodded: "Okay."

In the end, Mr. Fool is the one who makes the most money. This is the advantage of being a platform.

"Mr. Fool, I'd like to request a private discussion." Audrey suddenly had an idea, feeling that her knowledge shouldn't be taken for free.

Feeling a little guilty, Klein the Fool blocked out the perception of others.

Freeloader? What do you mean by freeloader? Can working on a platform be considered freeloader?
Next, Audrey and Derrick exchanged information. Audrey shared some news about various countries and the Seven Gods, as well as some secret organizations she knew about. Finally, Audrey added some customs and habits outside the God-Forsaken Land.

Derrick was amazed and envious after hearing these words.

When it was Derrick's turn, the honest boy recounted everything he had learned in his general education class, including but not limited to the dragon race itself, the fantasy dragon Angerwede, the nightmare dragon Alesuhod...

After the two sides finished communicating, Klein lifted the restrictions on the perception of others.

Serris then proposed a deal: "Everyone, do you remember the fate potion I mentioned earlier?"

"Remember, it's very useful." Derrick nodded first. "Mr. Devil, your fate potion is simply the greatest invention."

Indeed. Klein affirmed in his heart that the abilities granted by the Fate Potion had helped him greatly. "I remember you said back then that the Fate Potion would only be given to those of the Church of Joy, Mr. Devil. Have you changed your mind now?" Audrey said with a hint of surprise.

If the demon really wanted to sell the fate potion, she wouldn't mind buying one, even if she wasn't particularly interested in the Mourning Actor.

I don't need this little money. At worst I can just go back and feed the dog.

"You remembered it wrongly. I didn't say that the fate potion is not for sale. I said that the joy potion is not for sale." Serris corrected with a smile.

Audrey immediately asked, "So, Mr. Devil has developed a potion for other fates?"

"That's right." Serris nodded. "Now let me introduce my latest invention. You can purchase it according to your needs."

Before Serris began to explain, Derrick, the richest member of the Tarot Club, had already made up his mind.

"I want it all."

Although Audrey was rich, it was a pity that her personal wealth could not compare to the thousands of years of heritage of the entire City of Silver.

"You can only take one of each." Serris saw what Little Sun was thinking.

"Okay, I understand." Derrick was a little disappointed.

"I haven't figured out the follow-up yet, so let me first talk about Sequence Nine." Serris began to explain.

"First is the potion of intellectual destiny, Sequence Nine: Pre-Rehearsal."

"Listen carefully. This isn't a prophecy, it's a preview. Beyonders on this path will gain strong reasoning and thinking abilities, but other than that, they won't have any other Beyonder abilities. Not even their spirituality will increase much."

Hmm... this is very similar to my audience approach, Audrey thought.

Perhaps I need a crew with enough brains, after all, most of the people on my ship are idiots, Alger thought. And since the subsequent potions can only be obtained from me, there's no need to worry about betrayal.

"Potential Fate Potion, Sequence Nine: Seeking Medicine Envoy."

"Beyonders on this path are better able to distinguish medicines and create some spiritually rich medicines. The specific effects are similar to those of pharmacists."

Seeing no one respond, Ceris continued.

"Then there's Cunhu's fate potion, Sequence Nine: City Builder."

"Beyond this path, one's strength will increase, and they will also possess the Beyonder ability to make objects hard."

Derrick immediately became excited. This was exactly what Silver City needed. Many people in Silver City now believed in the Amber King. If he could bring this back, it would definitely boost morale.

"You can buy a few more of these, three, maybe?" Serris opened a back door for Derrick.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Devil." Dalek thanked Serris excitedly.

Look, he gave me money and even thanked me.

"Then comes the memory of destiny: Sequence Nine: Candle Ink Scholar."

Candle Ink Scholar? What a familiar name, Klein thought.

I remembered that I met a scholar from the Zhumo School in the simulated universe last Tuesday.

Is this how these names came about?
"The Beyonders of this path will have enhanced memories, and will be able to distinguish truth from falsehood more easily than others."

"Next is the potion of nihilistic destiny, sequence nine: mediocre mortals."

“You can lower your presence and, through contact, calm others to a certain extent.”

This is also a similar extraordinary ability to the audience, Klein thought. Furthermore, in the later stages, the audience can directly become invisible through psychological means.

It seems that the power of Nothingness isn't very strong. Indeed, its name suggests that it's difficult to achieve anything. This is what Alger thought.

It collided with my potion, unnecessary, Audrey thought.

This is great, it allows me to hide better. This is Padmeow.

It doesn't seem to be very useful, but it's worth buying anyway. This is Sun Derrick.

"The fate-destroying potion, Sequence Nine: Scorched Earth Walker."

"Extraordinaries on this path will gain strong survivability. This doesn't mean their regeneration speed will be very fast, but rather that their skin and flesh will become thicker and harder to kill. Furthermore, the more severe the injuries suffered by Extraordinaries on this path, the greater their power will be."

Klein nodded in agreement. That's right. To destroy players, we must be able to suppress their health.

In the simulated universe, Klein still likes the blessing of destruction of fate. Anyway, he is a fragile person who will die if touched, so it is better to lower his health before going in to fight.

"Potion of Hunting Destiny: Sequence Nine: Quickshooter."

"Every Beyonder in this destiny is a sharpshooter or archer. Their perception far surpasses that of ordinary people. Some can even hit an ant's heart from dozens of meters away."

This is good. Alger decided to buy the potion.

"Finally, there's the fate potion for breeding fate, Sequence Nine: Phantom Moth Servant."

Breeding...

This name made everyone frown.

"Beyonders of this path can, to a certain extent, create illusions and disrupt the thinking and perception of others."

"That's all," Ceris concluded.
