Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 406 Audrey Handcrafts Sealing Artifact
“Hmm…” Audrey thought for a moment, “It is indeed possible now. Actually, it would be fine in Sequence Seven, but the effect is not very good.”

“The current effect may not even be as good as that of a craftsman,” Audrey added.

She could roughly guess Mr. World's needs, but she couldn't go against her conscience and had to bring the drawbacks to the forefront.

“You possess admirable qualities,” Klein chuckled, “but you seem to have forgotten one thing.”

"What?" Audrey tilted her head.

"What if you used [Pure Beauty]'s destiny to create extraordinary items while in magical girl form?"

Upon hearing the word "magical girl," Leonard instinctively trembled.

Audrey's eyes lit up.

This was a path she had never imagined.

The audience's insight can help her create extraordinary items, a pure destiny can make materials more stable and have fewer side effects, and the magical girl state can bring her several different blessings, the most important of which is a sufficient amount of spirituality.

She really seems to be the chosen one for being a working person.

"After this gathering, I would like to ask you to use the extraordinary properties of Sequence 5 'Chaos Mentor' to craft a portable magical item for me. If successful, it will mean that our Tarot will have its own dedicated craftsman."

Another...another Sequence 5 extraordinary trait? The same thought simultaneously arose in the minds of Justice Audrey, Moon Emlyn, and others.

A strongman in Sequence 5 is not like a carrot that you can just buy on the street.

In the past two weeks, it seems that Mr. World has been killing an entire nest every time he does something.

That's a bit too scary.

“It’s a Sequence 5 extraordinary item right off the bat. I’m afraid I’ll waste materials.” Audrey hesitated a bit about whether to accept the order.

“At worst, we can just pulverize it and remake it,” Klein comforted in a low voice. “Anyway, it doesn’t matter if the extraordinary properties are corrupted by fate. I can’t think of any other effect that corruption from pure beauty could have besides making the sealed object more stable and harmless.”

Audrey blinked.

It seems so.

“I understand, I will try,” Audrey agreed. “However, if I use the path of pure beauty, I’m afraid it will be difficult to create an extraordinary item with enough destructive power.”

“That doesn’t matter.” Serres gestured to Alger the Hanged Man. “Once Mr. Hanged Man reaches Sequence 5 [Firesmith], he can create powerful extraordinary items without extraordinary traits. With good extraordinary traits, he can easily create extremely destructive Tier 1 sealed items.”

Who? Me?

Alger, who was called out, paused for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.

So it turns out I'll be able to handcraft sealed artifacts in the future, so maybe I should start collecting materials now.

Seeing that Audrey had agreed, Klein continued.

"This doesn't require much destructive power. If it were made into a magical item, it should be able to distort the target's language, will, and actions by exploiting loopholes in the system, and it could also enhance physical strength and create chaos within a certain range."

"As for the reward, I will provide you with a 'Detective' extraordinary trait. However, in return, I will only provide the extraordinary trait for the materials used in the crafting process. You will need to help me determine the most suitable materials, is that alright?"

“Yes, that’s fine.” Audrey nodded in agreement.

Mr. World is so generous! He's offering extraordinary abilities as a reward!

Audrey decided to try crafting extraordinary items by hand once she got back.

“You can practice with my extraordinary items first,” Klein joked. “Once you’re familiar with them, you can try creating your own extraordinary items.”

It can reduce pollution. Little Sun Derrick looked at Audrey with envy, and couldn't help but think of the Silver City's team clearing monsters from area to area. In such a dark and desperate environment, the Sequence 5 main materials or extraordinary traits harvested each time were not many, or even none.

Even if such a thing existed, it would be highly polluting and difficult to utilize.

He considered making a deal with Miss Justice to help purify the pollution, but he also knew that Miss Justice was only Sequence Six, and felt that he would have to wait until Miss Justice reached the level of a demigod before he could deal with their problems.

Until then, it's best not to disturb Miss Justice. Audrey noticed Derrick's gaze, but she knew her own situation. She hadn't gone far on the path of purity; perhaps she was only equivalent to Sequence Seven.

Therefore, although she wanted to help, she could only shake her head apologetically.

Seeing that someone had already started, Leonard relaxed a little, hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke up:

"I also need a magical item."

"What type?" Justice Audrey responded promptly to avoid an awkward silence.

Leonard made an "uh" sound and subconsciously responded, "I don't know."

What are you babbling about? Give me a level 2 sealed item.

Padmon glanced at Leonard, then turned to look at the Fool Klein, who sat high in the head seat.

This is Mr. Fool.

Then he looked at Serres.

This is the masked fool.

Then look at the stars.

This is the wisdom of someone who appears foolish.

Finally, I looked at Leonard again.

This is the mark of a wise man appearing to be a fool.

Audrey choked a little.

Dude, it's really hard to believe you don't know this.

Leonard realized the problem with his words and coughed lightly, saying, "The more powerful kind among the second-level sealed artifacts, corresponding to Sequence Six or Sequence Five levels."

Leonard initially used his usual official, extraordinary tone to describe it, but then quickly switched to a more colloquial expression.

However, he didn't feel that he had exposed anything, after all, when he met him in the world of the book, he was even wearing the red gloves of the Church of the Night.

This has proven that he is the best of the best.

“I can’t offer extraordinary features; you can only buy them directly,” Leonard said.

At this moment, Alger the Hanged Man grunted and said:

"A magical item of Sequence 5 costs at least 9000 pounds, and normally it could cost more than 12000 pounds if it meets your requirements."

Very straightforward… Leonard nodded: “I understand.”

Upon hearing his answer, "Fool" Klein almost covered his face, then sighed inwardly: This, aren't you just showing Mr. Hanged Man your trump card?

I bet a penny, if he had the right items, he'd quote over £12000!
“Mr. Demon.” Klein controlled the world and looked at Serris. “I would like to inquire about the ascension ceremony of the [Selfless Jester].

"Have you finished digesting?" Serres asked in return.

"I think I need to prepare in advance," World said in a low voice.

I had already exposed most of his disguises in the book's world, so there was no need for him to pretend to have a hoarse voice and speak concisely anymore.

“Alright, let’s talk privately then.” Serres nodded.

After several more transactions, the transaction phase ended, and the free discussion phase began.

P.S.: It's almost the end of the month, time for monthly tickets!
