Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 429 Klein is diagnosed with kidney deficiency.
Just when Emlyn was at his wit's end and thought the deal couldn't go on, Russell's voice suddenly rang out.

"You want the potion recipe for Sequence 4 of the Solar Path? I have it."

For a moment, the palace, which resembled the dwelling of a giant, fell silent as everyone turned to look at Russell Gustav.

“If you want, I can tell you the complete potion recipes and advancement rituals for this path, from Sequence Nine to Sequence Zero, all for free,” Rosell waved his hand.

When He was corrupted by the Mother Goddess and had to choose to attempt resurrection, the Eternal Sun pulled up His anchor.

Although Roselle was well aware that, considering the bigger picture, the Eternal Sun's actions were understandable, since no one knew how much disaster would result from the corruption if He were to truly be resurrected.

But He didn't care; He simply wasn't willing to let go of any opportunity that could cause trouble for the Church of the Eternal Sun.

Even if it's just about spreading the recipe and rituals of the solar pathway.

If it weren't for Steiano's apologetic attitude, everyone would have a copy of the potion recipes from the Craftsman's Path by now.

Derrick, the young tarot reader, initially wanted to uphold his principles and insisted on paying. However, all the other members of the tarot club remained silent, and he wisely kept quiet as well.

Klein, Leonard, Alger, and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this silly kid would insist on paying, forcing the others to pay as well.

"So let's start with Sequence Four today. Sequence Four, the One Without Darkness. The recipe..."

Russell didn't request to be kept away from the others, so they openly eavesdropped. Although the formula might not be useful to them, knowing was better than not knowing.

After Roselle finished speaking, Klein noticed Miss Justice glance around and heard her say in a light tone:

"I have an investigation to commission."

The investigation mission... Klein's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. As a fortune teller, his premonitions were always very accurate.

"What kind of investigation mission?" Alicia asked curiously.

Fowles also expressed interest in this. In her mind, Miss Justice's requests were usually the kind that were well-paid and relatively simple, and she would definitely take them if she could.

Audrey organized her thoughts and said, "I would like to ask you to help me investigate a newly emerged wealthy man in Backlund named Dawn Dantes."

Recently, discussions about this wealthy man have been coming to Audrey's ears, and Audrey instinctively and intuitively felt that this wealthy man was not simple.

Especially when she met this wealthy man at the fundraising ball for the Rune Education Foundation, Audrey became even more certain of her feelings.

“He’s only been in Backlund for about two months, and he just donated shares worth over ten thousand pounds to the Church of the Night in an attempt to establish a scholarship fund for the poor.” Audrey said in a tone that suggested she hadn’t met him directly and was only concerned with the information and rumors about him. “I would like to ask someone to investigate this gentleman’s true situation.”

Finally, Audrey quoted a price: "I am willing to pay £500 for the investigation, and if any danger or loss is encountered during the process, you can reimburse me."

Without realizing it, Fowles had already sat up straight, waiting for the other person to say something next.

Because in front of her, the panel of her system popped up again.

Hearing Miss Justice's question, you suddenly remembered that you had indeed learned some information about Mr. Dawn when you were taking on missions in private. Based on that information and your medical knowledge from your time as a medical student, you quickly deduced some conclusions.

[Aha, you've decided to reveal all your speculations and known information.]

Fowles was not opposed to the task, because it meant he would receive two rewards.

One payment was a monetary reward from Miss Justice, and the other was a reward from the system.

A win-win situation! It means she, Fowles, won twice!

“I know, I know, I know a little.” Fowles raised his hand to answer immediately, “Dawn Dantes is in a pretty bad situation. His butler is studying black magic, his servants worship death, and there’s an extraordinary person hiding in the neighborhood.”

She happened to observe all of these things while helping Xiu with his tasks.

"He's quite wealthy, good-looking, experienced and skilled at handling matters, and frequently goes to the restroom, suggesting he might have kidney or prostate problems. Considering some recent rumors, it's highly likely he has kidney deficiency."

So detailed, so meticulous, and even includes a plausible conjecture—the main point is that this money wasn't wasted.

Just then, World Champion Gehrman Sparrow raised his hand.

Immediately, Justice Audrey's gaze returned to the bottom of the bronze table, and she asked with a hint of anticipation, "Mr. World, would you like to take on this mission?"

Mr. World's efficiency is well-known in the Tarot community. If you entrust your case to him, he can investigate the entire life story of the target in three days or even one day.

But the world simply shook its head indifferently.

"No, it's not an investigation."

Klein had no intention of investigating himself.

He had already planned his response. After manipulating the dummy "world" to raise a hand, he waited for Miss Justice to ask her questions.

At this moment, he made "German Sparrow" look serious and speak in a deep voice: "Dawn Dantes, this is an identity."

Is Dawn Dantes just an identity? Justice Audrey keenly discerned the hidden meaning in those words and had a vague guess.

Then, she heard the world simply say:
“This is an identity that my partner and I share, and I sometimes impersonate him.”

At this point, he glanced at Fowles with an emotionless look and added, "And we don't have kidney deficiency either."

This glance made Fowles feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze instantly.

For a moment, she even began to fantasize that she would not be able to participate in the next one.

Tarot gatherings, or attendance in the form of extraordinary characteristics, are sold to other members by the "world".

She imagined Mr. World sitting at the bottom of the long table, gently pushing out a box, his eyes filled with three parts coldness, three parts indifference, three parts madness, and one part mockery: "I have here an extraordinary characteristic of an astrologer."

Hmm... Why does he look so much like a domineering CEO?

What is this? A domineering hunter killed me?

Oh, Mr. Gehrman hasn't laughed like that in a long time.

Shut up.

[German never put women in a box; woman, you are the first.]

That's enough, that's enough.
