Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 379: Reporting Mr. World's Affair

Alger waited two seconds, then turned to look at World Gehrman Sparrow and said, “Mr. World, I need your help with something. If you’re willing, I can exchange it for the coordinates of a pristine island that no one else knows.”

Alger finally decided to reveal the secret he had kept hidden in three volumes.

"Not only are there many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct on the northern and southern continents, but there is also an ancient ruin of unknown age. It is even related to Emperor Roselle's 'Blasphemy Token'."

Meanwhile, magician Fowles secretly marveled at Mr. World's power, and his feelings deepened.

She remembered that when she first joined the Tarot Club, Mr. World gave her the immediate impression of being gloomy and reserved, with no other notable characteristics. Later, at the gatherings, he gradually demonstrated his experience, broad knowledge, and what seemed to be quite good abilities; he was clearly a seasoned and extraordinary person who had experienced a lot.

This image was almost firmly established in Fowles' mind, but in recent months, the "magician" has found that the "world" has repeatedly refreshed her understanding of the world.

He was able to easily obtain very important information, and then he sold a lot of extraordinary characteristics in a short period of time, making people suspect that he was an extraordinary assassin active in a mysterious world.

It evokes a sense of awe, mixed with a certain degree of joy, because it signifies a high success rate for certain clients seeking Mr. World's services.

As the new members gradually appeared, Magician Fors thought that Mr. World's brilliance would be completely overshadowed by those powerful gentlemen and ladies, especially the tower that Mr. Devil called a "false god".

Unexpectedly, he quietly regained the limelight, making everyone a little afraid to look him in the eye.

He became the strongest member of the Tarot Club, aside from the god-level Fool and the demon who was not at all god-level.

As for the few who were originally considered top-tier powerhouses by Folls.

The Hermit Lady was severely punished by Mr. Fool for having an affair with the Mysterious Queen, and now she is as obedient as a student who has been called to the school by his parents.

The Empress's daughter was even more extraordinary. She spoke very infrequently, but every time she did, it was with astonishing wisdom. The other two bigwigs seemed more like spectators than participants in the meeting.

【Aha, it's my turn to step in again.】

The system panel pops up.

[Mr. World, who is inherently evil, dared to steal your thunder at the Tarot gathering, which infuriated you!]

I didn't do it, I didn't, don't talk nonsense...

[Option 1: I must accuse Mr. World of having an affair with Mr. Dawn Dantes, a wealthy man from Backlund! The evidence is irrefutable; they even sleep together every night, completely intimate!]

Huh? There's some juicy gossip? That's exciting!
Fowles' attention was immediately drawn away from how rich Mr. World was.

If you say this, I won’t be sleepy anymore.

Option Two: Awaken your feminine power, activate your innate lover ability, and sue Mr. World for allegedly sexually assaulting you in a dream, taking away half of his extraordinary abilities. Women hold up half the sky!

You're having another episode, aren't you?

[Option 3: Report Mr. World for harboring disloyal intentions! He's secretly trying to win over Mr. Fool's followers, and even Mr. Fool's relics have begun calling him "Great Master."]

Snapped!
Fowles decisively turned off the system panel.

She treated the first two options as a joke; after all, the system's erratic behavior wasn't new. But this third one…

She really couldn't bear to look!

Who...who put this in my system?!
I don't dare look at a single word!

Alger's conversation with Klein ended at this point. With their private exchange over, he turned to look at the stars.

"Your Majesty, do you possess authority over the realms of 'ocean' and 'storm'?"

“Of course,” Xing, who had been AFK, immediately replied. “I’m a master of the Neptune’s Domain; the entire universe is my fishpond.”

“That’s wonderful.” Alger immediately smiled. “I hope to get your help tomorrow.”

"I need your help to control a sea monster. What kind of reward do I need for this request?"

"Ah..." Xing crashed.

Compensation? Isn't that based on the client's interests?
"Well... you can give me whatever you think is appropriate," Xing replied.

This time, Alger is completely out of his depth.

The exchange continued, and since neither of them had much to do this week, the trading session quickly came to an end, and they moved into a free discussion session.

“We are ready to explore the Giants’ Court,” Derrick said, seeing the silence fall.

Serres had told them that once they had explored more than half of the Forsaken Lands, they could begin exploring the Giants' Court.

Now, Silver City has essentially been conquered by the Forsaken Lands. They have found and incorporated more than six city-states that are still barely surviving.

Everyone was genuinely happy for Derrick upon hearing this news, and began to teach Derrick the language of external mysticism and learn some ancient myths from him.

What Derrick didn't say was that, in fact, Silver City no longer really wanted to leave.

Based on the conversation at the Tarot meeting, Derrick gained a general understanding of the external environment.

how to say?

It's a bit outdated.

They can't even fly a Gundam.

I feel more comfortable staying in Silver City now.

During today's tarot gathering, Justice Audrey felt slightly disappointed and frustrated because although she bought some things, she didn't share anything and her participation seemed insufficient. She also failed to earn any guild points.

Sigh. My life is too peaceful and stable; there's nothing to share...

However, this is quite normal. As the daughter of the Earl of East Chester and one of the kingdom's top three bankers, if she frequently encounters extraordinary events and experiences thrills and excitement every week, it can only mean that the existing social stratification and political structure are insufficient to support the order of a supernatural world, and there will inevitably be fundamental and subversive changes...

In the past six months, thanks to Susie's encouragement, she has read a lot of useful books, and her depth and maturity of thinking have improved significantly compared to the past.

Can't be dumber than Susie, right?
As the meeting was about to end, Serres clapped his hands.

"Okay, everyone look at me."

"Remember the Truth or Dare game from a couple of days ago? It's time for the awards ceremony."

"Of course, there's also a small punishment for the big dare."
