Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 378 Are you trying to accumulate merit points here?

Audrey's hands and mouth were itching to speak; the words "I want them all" were on the tip of her tongue, about to spill out.

There's absolutely no problem getting reimbursed for this kind of thing by my father, Earl Hall. After all, whether it's made into an extraordinary item or given as a gift to subordinates in the appropriate line of work, it's a very worthwhile endeavor.

Derrick and Cattleya were equally interested. One had the entire Silver City behind him, and the other had the Future. They had enough assets to take on some, and enough demand to take on others.

In Silver City, the more pollution-free extraordinary traits there are, the better. However, in Cattleya, because Frank has used all his salary and "contributions" to buy extraordinary traits to arm his mushroom army, the ship's reserves of extraordinary traits are actually quite scarce.

Compared to Audrey and Derrick, Cattleya, though "quite wealthy," could only be considered "moderately well-off" at best.

Klein did not choose to sell all the extraordinary traits, selling only seventeen in total. This stemmed from his long-standing fear of insufficient firepower.

After eliminating those that were completely useless, he planned to find some time to experiment with his previous ideas on a few pirates. If possible, he could build a dual-pathway army of secret puppets.

But these very extraordinary characteristics also made the magician Fowles envious.

Wow, that's amazing! Derrick the Sun held a materialized parchment in his hand, on which were written the names of ten extraordinary traits.

"Thank you, Mr. World." He pulled his gaze from the parchment in his hand and looked at the gentleman at the far end of the bronze table.

In his mind, the strength of "the world" had risen to a new level, now comparable to the weaker members of the "Council of Six".

That's really impressive. I admire people who seem quiet and ordinary, but are actually very capable. That's totally me!

Emlyn thought to himself.

Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to become a viscount. Hmm... There's a hunting competition for the original moon believers recently. I took care of one a couple of days ago, and there are four left... The reward for the winner after this hunting competition should be enough to give a vampire a fundamental upgrade... Moon Emlyn White quickly turned his thoughts back to his own affairs.

With my strength as a vampire baron, coupled with the second path of the "Ecologist" sequence, I believe there will be absolutely no problem.

I reckon I'll become a baron very soon!
Emlyn's path of destiny is "Abundance." Sequence Nine is called [Medicine Seeker], and Sequence Eight is called [Herbalist]. These are extraordinary professions he has been playing for decades in advance.

The abilities provided wouldn't help him much, since he already possessed those abilities.

It wasn't until Sequence Six, the [Ecologist], that it became somewhat useful.

It can control animals and plants. It can promote plant growth, alter terrain, and create extraordinary plants...

This makes him look more and more like a believer in the "Earth Mother Goddess".

This led him to hide in his room every day, praying and repenting before the holy emblem of Lilith, the progenitor of the vampires. Whenever he became agitated, he would be emotional and subconsciously begin to slander the "Mother Earth Goddess".

But every time he finished confessing, he would feel uncomfortable and would go to the emblem of the Earth Mother in the church hall to confess.

Running back and forth every day, accumulating merits all day long. This caused Lilith to receive dozens of confessions from the same person every day, but in these confessions, the person would also continuously slander Him.

Less than a minute after it's all over, an apology letter will be sent to Him.

Extremely fun.

While admiring and praising the righteous Audrey, she became increasingly puzzled by something that had happened earlier:
Why has such a powerful Mr. World never collected Emperor Roselle's diary? Hmm, he's not like the "Hermit" lady, who has been a member of the Tarot Club for a long time and still needs to observe... Nor is he without needs, with no reason to collect Emperor Roselle's diary to exchange for corresponding items from Mr. Fool... So why doesn't he collect it?
Audrey vaguely sensed a connection between Mr. World and Mr. Fool, but she couldn't be sure, as there were still many possibilities.

I remember that Miss Fortune Wheel had a close relationship with Mr. World, and Miss Fortune Wheel was suspected to be a saint under Mr. Fool.

So, is Mr. World a benefactor or another saint?
However, even for a close relative, this is his duty.

Hmm... I remember that Mr. World and Mr. Devil seemed to have a good relationship.

So perhaps Mr. World and Mr. Devil have a close relationship and are working together to suppress Mr. Fool?
Although it was unlikely, Audrey was still somewhat uncertain, considering Serres's personality.

No way? It can't be... right...

The more Audrey thought about it, the more uncertain she became, and the more likely it seemed.

Ok……

Mr. World and Mr. Fool were fighting each other on the Dros Islands...

No! Audrey! I can't think about it anymore!

Audrey quickly stopped herself.

And what about that red-gloved gentleman who drew the Star card? Audrey suddenly thought of someone. Didn't they say they would join the Tarot Club?
Um, did I fail the background check? Or did Mr. World not tell Mr. Fool?
Surely Mr. Fool couldn't have forgotten...

Yes, that's right, it's definitely still in the evaluation period.

Hmm... speaking of what happened a couple of days ago...

Didn't Mr. Devil still have one Level 1 sealed artifact and two Level 2 sealed artifacts he hasn't given us yet...?

Audrey forced herself not to overthink by letting her mind wander.

At this moment, Alger the Hanged Man paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at the head of the bronze table and said:
“Dear Mr. Fool, I request to speak with ‘the World’ alone.”

Huh? What's wrong?
“Okay.” Klein nodded with some doubt, then blocked the senses of the others.
