Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 468 Another Card Change

May 30th, Monday, 5 PM.

When Xia Er opened his eyes in the gray fog space, Miss Justice next to him exclaimed in surprise. His appearance, with a triple crown and a gorgeous robe, was indeed attractive to the opposite sex.

"Mr. Angel, you're dressed very formally today."

For a moment, "Justice" Audrey forgot to greet Mr. Fool first. Instead, she was observing Chael's triple crown. The shock she felt lingered. In the etiquette of the North and South Continents, only the Pope or the Pope were qualified to wear a triple crown.

The members of the Tarot Club were also affected to some extent. That faint sense of authority and oppression, even above the gray fog, could still exert some invisible pressure on others. This was a characteristic of the Tyrant Path, and not a deliberate act by Xia'er.

"Most of the time, I don't like these regulations."

If you've ever been a god, you'll know that the life of a god is rather dull and boring; just look at Zeus, the king of the gods.

Shael took the Tyrant's Blasphemy Token from his spirit body, and his magnificent crown and clothes disappeared, leaving him in ordinary pajamas.

The contrast is a bit too much; she was still wearing pajamas at 3 PM...wearing pajamas at a tarot reading...

However, no one present cared about such a trivial matter. Even the Fool Klein and the Hanged Man Alger, who already knew of the existence of this blasphemous card, couldn't help but look over and question the "angel's" purpose.

"Mr. Fool, this is what I, Mr. World, and Mr. Hanged Man gained during an adventure."

"I would like to exchange this Tyrant Profane card for the Black Emperor card in your hand."

Without saying a word, Shael rose and bowed to the Fool, placing his hand on his chest.

He flipped the card over so that the Fool could easily see on top the majestic Emperor Roselle, who ruled over storms, seas, and thunder.

As for why the Black Emperor card is needed... isn't it normal for a member of the angel family, who is related to the Tamara family, to think that the Tyrant card is not as practical as the Black Emperor card?

It's alright if Mr. Fool refuses; at worst, he can just switch it out later.

NO!

The Fool did not answer, but Alger was the one who grieved the most.

If possible, he would prefer the Tyrant card to be in the hands of the Angel.

The Hanged Man had now made up his mind to collect more of Russell's diary.

Before the Hermit Lady finishes completing the daily task of collecting diaries.

"Can I know why?"

The "Fool" did not refuse; instead, he asked with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about such a trivial matter.

"The Tyrant card has limited value in my hands, but I can exchange the Black Emperor card for some decent items."

Xia Er didn't hide anything.

Klein's first thought was the Mysterious Queen. Since the Emperor might have switched to the Black Emperor route, the Black Emperor card should have some value to Bernadette, but that couldn't be guaranteed. After all, there were many people who wanted this card, such as Nast, the King of the Five Seas.

"Can."

Klein thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

He couldn't easily use the Black Emperor card to cash out, because he had stolen it right under Bernadette's nose. Bernadette had held back at the time, but he had already memorized the Black Emperor's potion recipe. If he could get the Tyrant card, combined with the Book of Calamities in his possession, his rank could probably be raised to near that of an angel, and he could also indirectly gain some power over storms.

In this way, the fool's authority is both offensive and defensive, capable of both attacking and healing.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Shael gives the Tyrant card to the Fool. Because of the Fool's quick thinking, Mr. Fool can unlock a little trick: before Sequence 3, he can summon the projection of "Calamity".

After receiving the Tyrant card, the Fool suddenly had a premonition that getting this card was a good thing.

Klein didn't think much of it at the moment and gave the Black Emperor card to the Angel.

Xia Er glanced at the Emperor on the card, noticed the Justice Lady next to her with an unblinking look, and pushed the card over. If she just wanted to touch it, there was no problem.

"Thanks."

Audrey thanked him, then looked at Mr. Fool, "I've collected three pages of Russell's diary this time."

After handing in her diary, she started playing with the Black Emperor card on the table, recalling the scene where "Angel" used the Blasphemy card to disguise himself. She felt very sorry that this was a Tarot meeting, as she was really looking forward to seeing Angel's other looks.

Oh no! My core technology for spiritual beings to contain blasphemous cards and gain rank by containing high-ranking items has been cracked by Mr. Angel.

Mr. Fool regrets that this is his core technology, and it is risky for others to try to imitate it, because spirits are easily injured without the protection of a physical body, while he can make spirits return to the city with a single click.

Klein began reading Roselle's diary, and his lips twitched. The Hermit Lady's diary, filtered by Bernadette, was mostly high-quality. As for Miss Justice's diary, two pages were about the Emperor's womanizing, along with the Emperor's self-doubt during his sage period, and his bewildered question about who had slept with whom.

The third page of the diary contains information about the Stitches-in-the-Morph.

The point is that high-sequence extraordinary individuals, upon death, retain extraordinary characteristics that leave behind a strong spiritual imprint.

Therefore, extraordinary individuals with dissimilar minds are very likely to fail in their advancement when using this characteristic, and even if they use this characteristic to create a sealed object, the negative effects will be terrifyingly high.

The Emperor grumbled indignantly about the Angel family, who insisted on monopolizing the market even in death.

At the same time, he did not forget to sympathize with and curse Florent, who was very talented because he resembled the ancestors of the Soren family.

The emperor felt it was a bit too much that he had worked so hard, while the other party could easily advance simply because he looked like his ancestor.

The Emperor here hurled a tirade at the Sauron family, saying they're always waging wars to consume potions, suppressing rebellions to consume potions when the country is in turmoil, monopolizing high-level resources in the Hunter's Path, and a family that can level up without much effort—they're just too cunning...

Klein found it somewhat amusing to watch the Emperor's various complaints. If the Soren family hadn't suffered some misfortunes and weakened, even the Emperor would have had a hard time overthrowing the Soren family's rule with this kind of approach.

Chael also saw this diary, even earlier, when Miss Justice was writing her diary. The mental stitches reminded him of Lumian Lee, that genius.

In the experiments of the Fourth Era, in the polluted environment of the Chaos Sea, the Blood Emperor, along with five dukes, could only create five-family stitched-together spirit monsters at the Saint level. This was basically the limit, the limit of human intervention. If the intervention went too far, it would be polluted by the Chaos Sea in the opposite direction.

They never even considered an angelic Frankenstein.
