Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 428 begins spreading rumors
Hmm? If you bring this up, I'll get really interested.

Klein turned to look at Rosell and remembered that just over half an hour ago, Rosell had proposed turning him into a two-dimensional character.

Oh dear, Your Majesty, this is just how fortunes change.

Let me think about what to say.
Mrs. So-and-so? Miss So-and-so?
This won't work, since it comes from Intis, where they might have more sophisticated methods.

So, the taste of a witch is really good?

This won't work either. This is completely irrelevant to Roselle; he probably wouldn't feel ashamed at all, but might even be proud of it.

Hmm... what should I say?
Wait a minute, since Bernadette can't read Chinese anyway, isn't the final interpretation right in my hands? Shouldn't I be able to decide what's right and wrong?

How about we try Russell's flavor?

Rosell was also watching Klein intently, his eyes fixed on him.

Old Zhou, I advise you to be kind. Leave yourself a way out; it's better to meet again later. Don't you understand this principle?
Klein nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Indeed, nonsense can easily be detected by divination. So, well... we can only take things out of context.

Mr. Fool chuckled softly and spoke in a tone reminiscent of discussing an old friend:

"Everyone knows about Emperor Roselle's private life, so I have nothing to say about it. For example, normal humans, mythical creatures, or witches who transformed from men into women..."

Klein made a subtle remark without making a sound.

"For example... Emperor Roselle once made an important assessment of witches, and also expressed high praise for witches who transformed from men into women..."

Mr. Fool's face, hidden behind the gray fog, wore a warm smile, and his tone was tinged with amusement.

At that moment, Klein suddenly thought of the Blasphemy cards, and that the cover of every Blasphemy card was Roselle, and the cover of the Mother card.

Back when Serres was still pretending to provide his diary, he mentioned that the cover of the Mother's Day edition featured a pregnant Roselle.

Well, this is when we can start taking things out of context.

Klein tapped his fingers lightly twice on the bronze table.

"Emperor Roselle once appeared in drag, and it is said that in that appearance, he seemed to be pregnant."

Cattleya fell into a daze.

[The Hermit Lady has not responded.]

After thinking for a while, Cattleya accepted the message and bowed her head to thank Klein.

"Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Fool, this is very helpful to me."

Huang Jiajia is going back to tell her mother.

Klein nodded to Rosell in a friendly manner.

Looks like you'll be turned into a two-dimensional character by your own daughter before I am.

Perhaps you too will be hung up in the sky, becoming the Earth's ceiling?
Russell wasn't looking at Klein; his mustache twitched.

He was angry, so he went back to watch the short video that Stiano had sent him.

I'll give Stiano a few rockets later.

No longer paying attention to Roselle, and without saying anything more, Fool Klein leaned back in his chair and said, "You may begin."

Audrey immediately turned her head to look at Gehrman Sparrow, who sat at the very bottom of the bronze table: "Mr. World, I can give you the extraordinary item you requested after this Tarot session. I've already told you about its effects and side effects, so you should know that. I've been wearing it for the past few days without any problems."

This signifies both that delivery is ready and that she is informing the other members of the Tarot Club that her craftsmanship is excellent and has been approved by Mr. World. Anyone else who wants sealed items can commission her to make them.

“No problem.” The World nodded simply. “Your efficiency is very high, and I am very satisfied with both the extraordinary effects and negative effects of the extraordinary items you created.”

Upon hearing the praise, Audrey suppressed the upward curve of her lips, maintaining only a shallow, polite, and sufficiently ladylike smile before turning to look at Leonard.

"When I was crafting extraordinary items recently, I created one that wasn't very useful. I don't know if you need it."

"A supernatural item that's not very useful?" Leonard repeated, sounding somewhat puzzled.

“Yes.” Audrey nodded in affirmation. “Its extraordinary effects are useless, but it has no negative effects and consumes very little spiritual energy, almost negligible.”

Leonard nodded, signaling Audrey to continue.

“He can create monocles out of thin air, but as I just said, there are few spiritual expendable without any negative effects. Perhaps he could use those monocles as darts.”

Leonard thought about it and felt there didn't seem to be any problem, after all, he also had the ability to throw paper knives. The round glass shards did seem like they could indeed be used as darts.

"How much?" Leonard casually raised his chin.

Audrey thought for a moment. Although it was just a little trinket she had made on the spot, taking less than a minute in total, the material itself was an antique. Even though it was just a decoration in their house, probably not even used to prop up a table leg, it was still a gemstone.

Audrey wanted to recall the price of the gem itself and planned to sell it to Leonard at cost.

But then she realized the gem was a gift from someone else, a birthday present when she was six. She hadn't spent a penny on it.

At the time, the gem was set in a sculpture, covering the entire sculpture.

Then she saw that the gemstone was of good quality, so she kept the stone and put it in the drawer.

“500 pounds,” Audrey replied, then clenched her fist and glanced at her left hand. “There’s a gemstone there, maybe a quarter the size of a fist. I’ll have it processed and make it into a necklace, pendant, or some other decoration for you.”

“Okay, deal.” Leonard also felt that the price was not expensive, within his budget, and could also improve the image of the [phantom thief] he needed to play. “If possible, please make it into a pendant, the kind that can be worn as an accessory on clothes.”

“No problem,” Audrey readily agreed.

She has no shortage of money, and she doesn't care about the price; she'd be happy even if it were a pound or free. She has no interest in money.

But if someone wants something she makes, it's a compliment to her craftsmanship, but also an appreciation of her as a person.

Seeing this scene, Alger nodded to himself, intending to observe further. If there were no major problems, he also planned to commission a few extraordinary items.

After finalizing a small deal, the tarot meeting fell into a brief silence.

Seeing that no one spoke for the time being, Moon Emlyn turned his gaze to Sun Derrick and asked cautiously, "I need a Sequence 5 artificial vampire extraordinary trait. What do you want?"

Although he didn't understand why Emlyn would buy a corrupted extraordinary ability from him, an extraordinary ability that could cause pus to ooze from his body.

But Little Sun respected his choice and gave a price for the Sun Path Sequence Four potion recipe.

This left Emlyn speechless.
