Mystery: A Spark

All of this is inseparable from the meticulous guidance she received from her teacher, Dorian Gray.

Therefore, in order to repay her teacher's kindness, Fors has recently been thinking about doing something for her.

After careful consideration, she set her sights on Louis Wayne, the Aurora Order messenger who had once caused serious harm to her teacher's family—perhaps the "recorder" or the "traveler."

However, even though Fors had been promoted to "Record Officer" and had the Lemanor Travel Notes in hand, she still had no confidence in fighting the Aurora Society's envoy, given her lack of combat experience.

So, having no other option, she sought help from the Tarot Society.

After renting Lemano's Travel Notes for about half a year, Fors can now be said to have quite a bit of wealth.

Arthur contributed a considerable amount of gold pounds to her.

And now, these gold pounds will probably return to Arthur's hands again.

"Who do you want to kill? What are your abilities?" Arthur asked knowingly.

"He is the messenger of the Aurora Order, formerly a Sequence 6 in Backlund, now possibly a Sequence 5, but it's uncertain."

“He can record the extraordinary abilities that others have used and use them once. He is good at escaping and is difficult to surround. He may also be able to travel between spirit realms…” Fors replied.

More than two months ago, Arthur was already close to the threshold of becoming a demigod. She believed that if Arthur were to make a move, Louis Wayne would definitely not be able to escape.

“I’ll take this job,” Arthur said. “You don’t want to kill this person with your own hands, do you?”

He's about to return to Backlund, so he might as well kill this guy while he's at it and get the "Traveler's" potion recipe.

"No, as long as he dies, it doesn't matter whether we kiss or not," Fors shook her head.

"Okay, then let me know once you find this person's whereabouts," Arthur said calmly.

“Okay, I will do my best to investigate,” Fors replied.

Seeing that Fors's demands had been met, "Justice" Audrey could no longer contain herself and raised her hand slightly, saying:

"I wish to obtain the complete pituitary gland of the Young Mind Dragon, or 60 ml of spinal fluid from the Black Hunting Lizard, and one fruit from the Psychedelic Bell Tree."

She has successfully accumulated enough contribution points to obtain the "Hypnotist" potion recipe from the Psychological Alchemy Society, and has made a copy of the recipe and given it to Little Sun.

Because that was the promise made back then.

No sooner had Audrey finished speaking than she received a response from Cattleya.

"...I have a way to get spinal fluid from black hunting monitor lizards, but it will take two to three weeks and cost between £1500 and £2000, because that's not something I can decide."

"I'll try to find out about the fruit of the psychedelic wind chimes, but I can't guarantee I'll get any information."

Wow, such high efficiency... After being punished, the "Hermit" seems to have a stronger sense of belonging to our Tarot Club, and is more positive and amiable... "Justice" Audrey was speechless for a moment.

Alger suddenly felt a growing sense of crisis, and now Cattleya was becoming more involved in the Tarot Club's affairs.

This is even worse than the old her who mainly relied on seeing and hearing.

"A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned..." Arthur couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The same thought also came to Klein's mind: he felt that not only Cattleya, but also the mysterious queen had been beaten less.

Hopefully Arthur will discipline her properly in the future… Klein muttered to himself, then manipulated the “world,” making him look around, and chuckled softly:

"Does anyone have a potion recipe or clue for Sequence 4 of the 'Diviner' pathway?"

Another member has touched the gate to demigodhood... Similar thoughts flashed through the minds of the others.

Arthur hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose not to speak.

He could indeed directly hand over the "Trickster" potion recipe to Klein, but that would prevent Zarathustra, the troublemaker, from being properly unleashed.

Therefore, Klein's "trip to the misty town" was still very necessary.

The Tarot Club's transaction phase ended after Emlyn raised the request to find the original moon devotees.

"Let's move on to the free discussion session," Klein said with a chuckle.

As soon as he finished speaking, Alger looked around at everyone, his gaze lingering on "the world" and "the hermit," and said:

"I have received information that a major event has recently occurred in the Gargas Islands."

"What's the big deal, Mr. Hanged Man?" Audrey asked curiously.

"Several pirate crews, including a pirate king and three pirate generals, gathered there. After a fierce naval battle, the Deathscythe was severely damaged and escaped, while Admiral Senor and his pirate crew were completely wiped out," Alger recounted.

"A pirate king was severely injured, and a pirate general died?" Audrey asked with some surprise.

“That’s right, but compared to what happened later, it’s really not a big deal.” Alger glanced at Cattleya and said:

"What truly set the entire Sunia Sea ablaze was the subsequent outbreak of a great battle at the level of angels."

"An angel!?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, a great battle at the level of angels. According to our investigation, one of them should be the mysterious Queen Bernadette, and the other is of unknown identity, but is suspected to be an angel of the Common Knowledge path. The enemy they joined forces to fight should be closely related to the Rose School."

"Furthermore, there is evidence that the Rose School of the Southern Continent seems to have begun some kind of internal strife after this great war, but the specifics are still unclear and require further investigation," Alger said, his heart pounding.

He was incredibly shocked when he first learned of this incident a few days ago.

The appearance of a pirate king and three pirate generals, along with the participation of three angels, made for such a large-scale battle that suddenly began and ended, leaving everyone wanting to understand its causes and consequences.

Alger knew that Cattleya was involved in the incident, and that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was also involved.

Although they don't seem to be main characters, there's no doubt that they know some inside information.

"It is said that the Future was present during this incident," Alger said, then looked at Cattleya.

His meaning was clear: he wanted the other party to at least reveal some information.

Everyone else looked at Cattleya with curiosity, except for Arthur and Klein, since they were the ones directly involved.

Cattleya remained silent; she had no idea how to begin.

What did she say?

Oh, could it be that the reason such a huge commotion occurred was entirely because her queen wanted to protect some despicable wild man?

Everyone was heading for that wild man, and because of that, those who wanted to kill him and those who wanted to save him fought there, leading to this great battle. Is that what she's going to say?

"Pah! She's truly a femme fatale. The Emperor was right..." Cattleya mentally ranted.

She organized her thoughts and said:

"Actually, I don't know much about this incident; I was just asked to help."

After saying that, Gadriya looked at the "world".

Come on, Mr. Fool's "favorite," catch the pot I'm throwing at you!

Klein's lips twitched, and he could only somewhat sullenly manipulate the "world" and say:

"The Rose School will be in chaos for a while."

This answer seems to say everything, yet it also seems to say nothing at all.

In Alger's eyes, he quickly realized that this was "The Fool" manipulating things behind the scenes, intending to interfere in the situation in the Southern Continent.

After all, it is said that the Deathstalker was severely damaged by the tsunami and lightning during this great battle.

But what purpose did Mr. Fool have in interfering in the situation on the Southern Continent? Alger was completely baffled.

The same doubts arose in Cattleya's mind. She even began to wonder if the Queen had been in contact with Mr. Fool and that they had planned the events of the past few days together.

These people really know what I'm talking about... Arthur's gaze swept over Alger and Cattleya, and he guessed what they were thinking in no time.

However, he didn't offer any explanation. Since Klein had covered things up for him, there was no need to do anything further.

After continuing the conversation for a while, Klein announced the end of the tarot session.

Night fell, and Arthur once again entered the Trial Illusion.

After being promoted to Ironblood Knight, he would explore the Dark Temple very diligently every night.

After such a long period of exploration, Arthur is getting closer and closer to his original goal: the Garden of Pleasure.

In other words, he was getting closer and closer to the fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged blood elf girls he had always dreamed of.

Tonight will be the night Arthur's dream comes true.

With a mournful cry, the boss "Soul Box" was successfully defeated by Arthur.

Then, he returned to the hall without stopping and quickly went to the second floor where the Garden of Pleasure was located.

Upon seeing the pink curtains, Arthur took a deep breath, his heart racing, and then went inside.

The joy here is not something that can be explained to outsiders.

Chapter 278 New Moves

Early in the morning, Arthur woke up feeling refreshed.

He looked down and coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed.

After changing his clothes, Arthur went to Edwina's captain's cabin.

"Are you going back?" Edwina asked.

“Yes, madam, the Umbrella Corporation has reached a bottleneck in its development, and I need to go back to take charge,” Arthur replied.

“Umbrella Corporation…it truly is a miracle. To develop to such a scale in such a short time, its managers must be economic geniuses,” Edwina murmured in admiration.

Today, Umbrella Corporation is no longer the small fry it once was, but has grown into a major economic entity of great importance within the Kingdom of Rune.

Led by these four pillars—food, pharmaceuticals, clothing, and energy—Umbrella Corporation is running at an astonishing pace.

Furthermore, the company has partnered with the old nobles of Rune, and even some members of the new party have become involved.

After all, although they had a conflict with the Workers' Mutual Aid Association, they did not have a conflict with the Gold Pound.

If they could, these people would even sell the noose around their own necks. What do the previous conflicts matter?

Besides, the president of the Umbrella Corporation is Earl Hall's beloved daughter, which makes the New Party members even more reassured.

Would family members betray each other?

Therefore, today's Umbrella Corporation and the workers' associations behind it have not only made significant achievements in the economic field, but also wielded considerable influence in the political sphere.

They could even push for the enactment of some bills, subtly implying that they are becoming the third pole in the Ruen political system.

However, the reason why Umbrella Corporation can only be called a large economy and not a "super" one is because it is currently only a large economy.
