Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 430 Be Brave Enough to Admit Kidney Deficiency

Just as Fowles was wallowing in self-pity, Padma suddenly interrupted:
"Mr. World, we think your behavior is very irresponsible."

"Kidney deficiency is kidney deficiency, it's not a big deal, right? We can treat it slowly and it will get better gradually, there's no need to worry about it too much."

"But it's wrong of you to keep quiet about it. If you're afraid of it, how can you possibly defeat it? Isn't that right?"

“I don’t have kidney deficiency!” Klein emphasized, adding that he didn’t mean to stress it out.

"Okay, okay, no, no." Padmo said gently, as if to reassure her. "We're just making a hypothetical assumption, a hypothetical one. If you have it, then you can't be afraid of it, right?"

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should not be afraid to face them bravely and overcome fear. The best way is to face fear. Isn't it better to admit it and bravely overcome it than to run away from it?"

Emlyn seemed to have been influenced by Paddo Meow as well. He raised his hand and said seriously, "This is not a big problem. I can fix it."

“No need, thank you.” Klein firmly declined Emlyn’s offer.

Emlyn wanted to say something more, but ultimately kept quiet. Although he was sometimes a bit low on emotional intelligence, he could still understand the hidden meaning behind "the world," so he chuckled dryly, leaned back, and pretended to be very satisfied with the other person's answer.

Although he didn't understand why Mr. World refused to treat his kidney deficiency.

Does Mr. World take pride in having that kind of disease, just like people in some parts of Intis?

Derrick, who was watching from the side, was a little confused. One minute he said yes, the next he said no, which made him unsure of who to believe.

In short, Mr. World probably has that disease called "kidney deficiency," but he's unwilling to admit it, Sun Derrick thought.

This is actually quite common in Silver City. When a member of an exploration team is injured or sick, he will pretend to be fine so as not to worry the other members of the team.

Mr. World is such a good person! Derrick thought, even with this disease called kidney deficiency, he still insists that he's fine.

Russell, who was happily watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly felt offended for some reason.

Seeing this, Justice Audrey took a second to control the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up, and then said to World Gehrman Sparrow:
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know."

Klein nodded at first, then immediately sensed something was wrong.

Wait a minute, why is there only "thank you"?

What does it mean to thank me for informing you?

Shouldn't we pay a £500 investigation fee?
What about money?

It seems Audrey is sharing this among internal members.

In order not to damage Mr. World's image, Klein had no choice but to let the world nod and did not say anything more about En Dantes. He then looked at Little Sun and asked, "Do you have any sorcery or evil spirits where you are?"

The world paused for a moment, then added, "Perhaps you call it by another name, but in any case, it is good at disguise, has bizarre abilities, is close to the level of a demigod, and has a main eye with concentrated special characteristics."

Derrick thought for a moment, then shook his head and answered "no." However, he added that it might simply be that he hadn't seen it before, and perhaps others had.

Klein was somewhat disappointed, but not much. After all, whether or not he could advance to the fourth demigod level through divination was no longer that important to him. It would be best if he could advance, but if not, so be it.

But at that moment, Otto suddenly spoke up.

"So, you're going to advance to the fourth rank of the Trickster?"

"Yes," Klein admitted without hesitation.

Otto smiled and opened his palm: "Perfect, I have the materials you need. I have both the main and auxiliary materials. What would you like to trade for them?" "What do you want?" Klein asked in a hoarse voice, controlling the dummy world.

“What do I need? Hmm, let me think.” Otto rested his chin on his hand. “To be honest, this is a difficult decision.”

"Alright then, I remember you killed a Black Knight. Do you still have its extraordinary properties?"

“Of course,” Klein nodded.

This extraordinary characteristic makes it virtually impossible to sell; aside from the Aurora Club, no one would be willing to take on such a hot potato.

And Klein, of course, would not be willing to hand over something that was equivalent to a nuclear bomb to a group of mentally unstable terrorists.

What if one day the aurora festival wants to see a demigod explode on the spot like fireworks?
“That’s wonderful,” Otto said with a smile. “In that case, how about we exchange the Black Knight’s extraordinary properties for the main and secondary materials for the Trickster?”

"You want to cultivate a demigod through the Mystic Path?" World Gehrman Sparrow leaned forward slightly, resting his hands on the table as he looked at Otto. "Forgive my bluntness, but a normal Mystic won't live long at all. They'll hear the whispers of the true Creator at the Sequence Eight Listener stage, and then they'll go mad."

“You make a good point, my friend,” Otto agreed with Klein. “But not everyone needs to be a brain, does anyone?”

These words caused Klein to furrow his brow almost imperceptibly: "So what exactly do you want to do with this extraordinary property?"

Seeing the expression on World Goreman's face, Otto roughly guessed Klein's thoughts and waved his hand with a smile:

"No, no, no, you're overthinking my friend. Please don't always think so badly of me, okay?"

"I just want to use it to create an extraordinary weapon. As you can see, weapons don't need brains. Sealed objects with living characteristics are usually more troublesome to use."

Seeing Gehrman's brow relax, Otto added with a smile, "Of course, some people think that sealed objects with living characteristics are easier to control, which varies from person to person... and also from strength."

Mr. World leaned back in his chair, appearing relaxed. Meanwhile, Klein, who was controlling the dummy world, was pondering the deal Otto had just proposed.

Exchanging a Black Knight's extraordinary attributes for a complete set of main and secondary materials for a Trickster is a worthwhile trade no matter how you look at it.

“Mr. World just finished digesting the potion and was preparing the main ingredients for the next stage of the potion, and you’ve already prepared all the ingredients? Or is it just right for Mr. World’s Diviner’s Path Sequence Four?” Rosell tapped the table.

"It's hard not to suspect that you were prepared in advance, just waiting for Mr. World?"

“Hmm, not a bad deduction.” Otto’s face still wore a warm smile, seemingly agreeing with Rosell’s guess. “But what good would that do me? Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective if I just paid for that extraordinary trait directly?”

"Think about it, this kind of thing has no way to be sold; it can only rot in my hands. But if I'm willing to accept it, then Mr. World will definitely be willing to buy it."

"As for the materials, he and I are both fortune tellers who prepare similar materials for promotion. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing?"

Rosell just stared at Otto.

One second, two seconds.

Then He nodded: "Of course."

The dummy world also hummed in response and returned to silence.

And so, a transaction involving two Sequence 4 transactions was completed.

When the magician Fors failed to purchase the cursed artifacts and residual spiritual energy of the ancient vengeful spirit once again, the transaction ended.
