Mystery: A Spark

The establishment of the Atmospheric Commission was certainly intended to prevent such incidents, but unfortunately it was too late.

One reason is that they haven't learned their lesson, which leads to insufficient attention to the issue.

On the other hand, it is naturally because the parliamentary system is inherently inefficient in terms of administration.

Klein regretfully turned to the second page of the diary and read about the Emperor's experience of trying to seduce women but almost getting analed, as well as his idea of ​​creating Gundam after becoming a demigod. His mood gradually improved.

However, he then saw a sentence that made his pupils shrink:

"What is a miracle? To come back from the dead is a miracle!"

Klein had previously speculated that the gray fog might be the divine realm of the previous Fool, or something like uniqueness.

And now, this sentence in Russell's diary further confirms Klein's conjecture.

He looked away from Roselle's diary, increasingly anticipating what he would discover once he ascended to a high-sequence powerhouse and completed the radiant staircase deep within the gray fog.

Perhaps the reason I traveled through time and the way home can be found there... He suppressed his excitement and let Russell's diary disappear from his hands.

At the same time, his guard also increased considerably.

Arthur once said that there are still several Sequence Ones in the Gui San family, and Zarathustra is one of them.

These people might all have designs on the Gray Mist, which makes Klein even more cautious.

He calmed himself down slightly and said in a calm voice:

"You may begin the transaction."

After saying that, Klein manipulated the "World" dummy and looked at Justice, saying:

"After a period of time, I will gain the extraordinary ability of a psychologist. Do you still need it?"

He has already released the Faceless Man from "Crawling Hunger," and he plans to release the Priest of Light next, followed by the Psychiatrist.

It's been over a month since Little Sun was promoted to Sun Priest. The release of the Light Priest should yield the subsequent Sun Path recipe and corresponding extraordinary traits, which will facilitate Little Sun's promotion.

The psychiatrist's release was due to Klein's knowledge that Miss Justice had a similar extraordinary pet.

Of course, the release of these two requires two lucky pirates to fill the gap, but it's unknown which two they will be.

"How long will it take?" Audrey asked.

"It might take a month, or two months," "World" said in a low, hoarse voice.

“Okay,” Audrey nodded in agreement.

She knew that Susie hadn't yet digested the mind-reading potion.

Miss Justice didn't even ask about the price, so it seems her financial situation has improved a lot... I hope I can find a suitable target soon so that those two can be relieved... Klein didn't say anything more.

Although he still had a spare Faceless Man trait, he planned to craft it into a magical item and sell it for a higher price.

Arthur, having previously sold the werewolf pendant and Abe no Che, and with his background in the Steam Church, is naturally the most deserving candidate.

Chapter 229 I hate it when people point guns at me

Above the gray fog.

After seeing that "The World" had completed its transaction, Fors immediately looked at Alger and said:

"Mr. Hanged Man, we've found a lead on the eyeball of the Longan Eagle that you mentioned before. Do you still need it?"

“Of course I need it,” Alger answered without hesitation. “What kind of reward would be possible in exchange?”

“No special reward is needed, just two thousand five hundred pounds, and this extraordinary material is yours,” Fors said with a smile.

"Two thousand five hundred pounds? That's too expensive." Alger saw through the "magician's" attempt to rip him off and immediately began to haggle.

“Mr. Hanged Man, two thousand five hundred pounds is a very reasonable price for you now.” Fors showed no intention of backing down. “After all, a month has passed.”

If you still haven't obtained this material after a month, isn't it reasonable for me to raise the price a bit?

Alger understood the "magician's" implied meaning, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In the past month or so, Alger found a few clues, but each time he went to check them out, he returned empty-handed.

This is quite normal at sea, after all, all sorts of rumors are flying around, and most of them are false.

Even if the news is true, the main ingredient for Wind-Clad Potion is in high demand at sea, so it's normal for someone else to snatch it up first.

There were no clues about this material at the Tarot meeting.

After all, as "Chariot" said, only Alger among these members operated at sea, and it would be difficult for the others to obtain such extraordinary materials that clearly came from the sea.

Alger had already given up hope of obtaining the Dragon Eagle's Eye from the Tarot Club.

But to his surprise, he actually got a clue from the "magician" who had never really been around before, which made him overjoyed.

However, after the initial elation, they will face the fate of being slaughtered.

Alger tried hard to lower the price because, although he had recently become more financially secure, he was still burdened with a £2,000 debt to "Justice".

However, Fors was unwilling to budge, because she was only selling this extraordinary material on consignment, and only the money above the suggested retail price was hers.

A few days ago, when she was exchanging astrological knowledge with Mr. Dorian through a messenger, she tentatively mentioned the matter of extraordinary materials.

In his subsequent reply, Mr. Dorian not only provided her with astrological knowledge but also several extraordinary materials and their corresponding prices.

One of the materials used was the eye of a sea eagle, and Mr. Dorian's suggested price was two thousand pounds.

The reason Fors so heartlessly raised the price to two thousand five hundred pounds was because she discovered that Mr. Hanged Man hadn't found the material even after a month, which indicated its rarity.

Scarcity drives up prices, so price increases are perfectly reasonable.

In addition, with so many extraordinary sailors passing through the high seas, it's normal for prices to be several hundred pounds higher, so Fors wasn't worried at all that the Hanged Man wouldn't buy it in the end.

As expected, after several unsuccessful attempts to negotiate the price, the "Hanged Man" finally had no choice but to buy the extraordinary material.

After making the purchase, Alger looked at Audrey and said:

"Miss Justice, can I repay the debt I owe you with a magical item?"

“That’s for the best. I don’t need any more gold pounds.” Audrey nodded.

"Okay, then I'll try to find you a magical item with healing abilities later," Alger said, relieved.

He paused and continued:

"In addition, I would like to ask everyone to help me collect the recipe for Wind Chosen, only the auxiliary materials are needed."

He had already found an opportunity to go to that primitive island and hunted the Blue Shadow Falcon, so he only needed auxiliary materials to advance to the Wind Favorite.

Of course, it's possible to do it without auxiliary materials, but that would be too risky, and Alger didn't want to risk his life.

He had barely finished speaking when Audrey spoke up:

"Actually, I asked the Psychological Alchemy Society before and learned that they have the recipe for the Wind Chosen. I can help you get the part that only contains the auxiliary materials."

Alger's heart skipped a beat, and he asked:

"Miss Justice, what is the reward you require?"

If someone demands too much in return, then they are creating new debts before clearing up old ones.

"Don't worry, all I need is that magical healing item you found for me, and it has to be of high quality," Audrey said with a faint smile.

The magical item she received in exchange for a two-thousand-pound debt made her uneasy; adding a fragmented recipe for the Wind Chosen would be just about right.

"Deal." Alger felt relieved.

As the transaction drew to a close, Klein spoke of the world:

"Everyone, please keep an eye out for the remnants of the ancient vengeful spirit and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle."

These are some of the auxiliary materials for the Master of the Puppet potion. The others are relatively easy to collect, so there's no need to rely on the Tarot Club.

“Okay,” Derrick was the first to respond.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at the others and said:

"By the way, I have one more method to add regarding removing mental pollution from extraordinary traits."

There was another way... Klein's eyes lit up, and he quickly controlled "The World" to look at Derrick. The others also looked over curiously.

"That's right. After I was promoted to Sequence Seven, I became the captain of a patrol squad and gained access to more knowledge about Silver City."

"A few days ago, when I was looking up knowledge, I also took a look and found that in addition to the method of using angel-level power mentioned by the chief, we can also use items that can steal other people's extraordinary abilities to steal the mental pollution left by the out-of-control person."

"As long as the extraordinary properties are promptly converted into a potion, the mental pollution will not return but will dissipate directly," Derrick explained in detail the knowledge he had gained.

This is a supplement to the previous answer, so he still chose to publish it.

Ah, that glove seems to be a magical item from the Thief's Path. I wonder if it's still in Arthur's possession... Klein thought with some unease.

He didn't look in Arthur's direction, lest anyone realize that he and Arthur might know each other in reality.

Arthur sat there calmly, without making a fuss about looking at the "world".

The reason he didn't tell Klein when he got the black glove that it could be used to remove mental pollution from extraordinary traits wasn't because he forgot.

Rather, it was because, on the one hand, Arthur wanted to use the black glove to enhance Leonard's strength, making it easier for them to hunt Flora Jacob and allowing Palles' power to be restored.

At the same time, it creates an entanglement between Leonard and Heyle, so that they can use their charm to their advantage and use Elk Estate as a springboard to wait for the opportunity to hunt down Ince Zangwell.

Yes, Arthur had already begun his plan to hunt down Ince Zangwell back then.

On the other hand, Arthur also wanted to take Klein's all-black eye to study it and see if he could do anything with it.

For these reasons combined, Arthur did not give the black glove to Klein so that he could purify the All-Black Eye.

Anyway, Arthur himself has the ability to purify extraordinary traits, so there's no need to worry about Klein not being able to advance to the Master of Mystic Puppet.

With the transaction concluded, the Tarot session moved into a time for free discussion.

Klein once again manipulated the "World" dummy and said to the Hanged Man:

"I've found the Baron you mentioned."

"Barron, involved in multiple slave escape cases on the colonial islands?" The Hanged Man asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, reddish-brown skin, Southern Continent race, Backlund accent, and the third tooth on the left is a false tooth,” “World” replied hoarsely.

“…It should be him.” Alger, the “Hanged Man,” recalled for two seconds. “Where is he? What is his current status? As for payment, do you want cash or goods of equivalent value?”

This is a mission from the Church of Storms, and purchasing clues is a reimbursable activity, so "The Hanged Man" is under no pressure.
