Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 104 So you're a time traveler too?

9 month 24 day.

At 2:40 PM, Klein entered the mysterious space above the gray fog ahead of schedule.

In the magnificent and ancient palace, he sat in the seat reserved for the fool and took a deep breath.

It was his first time, so he was a little nervous and needed to get used to it beforehand.

He quickly appeared in front of the masked "world" on the long, mottled, verdigris-covered table and began to quietly familiarize himself with the operation.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, beams of light rose up in the palace that resembled the dwelling of a giant, and the members of the Tarot Club projected their blurry figures, tinged with a reddish hue.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. Good afternoon, Mr. Lover..."

The girl's clear and cheerful voice rang out in the magnificent palace, but it stopped abruptly before she could finish her greeting.

Because this time, there will be three more people at the tarot reading.

Fors and Hugh's arrival was exactly what Audrey had expected.

They spent last night, the night of the full moon, together.

Although they were discreet and did not recite the name of the Fool in front of them.

But Susie saw all of this.

After all, who would deliberately guard against a dog?

But another one—

The figure sitting at the very end of the bronze table, wearing a hooded black robe, was completely unexpected.

"This is a new member."

Klein leaned back leisurely and introduced them one by one, "Mr. World, Ms. Magician, and Ms. Judge."

"Good afternoon, Mr. World, Ms. Magician."

The members of the Tarot Club had different expressions, but under Audrey's guidance, they all greeted the three new members in turn.

"The Fool, Justice, Lovers, The Hanged Man, The World, The Sun..."

Fors carefully matched the code names with the characters in his mind, while nodding in response to the greetings from the others.

Even someone as ordinary as her would begin to reflect on her current situation.

It is known that the "Honorary Name" given by the embers is indeed effective and can effectively suppress her curse.

This tarot club also actually exists.

So.

There's a very high chance that Ember is also at this gathering!

Fors immediately turned a suspicious look to Ember.

The trial is over; the world, like myself, is a new person; Miss Justice is a woman.

The Hanged Man has blue hair and seems to have a somewhat gloomy personality.

Mr. Sun must be a teenager, still very young.

The only one who seemed to resemble Yu Jin the more Fors looked at the man in question!

Especially since she had already assumed she was in that situation.

Hugh shared the same idea.

After all, they had been spending every day together for a while.

Even though they couldn't see his face, they knew Yu Jin's figure very well!

"World" looked around but did not speak rashly; it simply watched the embers silently.

Klein believed his clone was flawless and wasn't worried that others would notice anything amiss.

But the embers were the only exception—

After all, the other party had already realized that 'Klein' was a member of 'The Fool's' family during their first meeting!

What if he speaks rashly and gets caught? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing for him?

"Mr. Fool."

Audrey broke the silence first, her voice clear and crisp, "I've obtained another five pages of Russell's diary."

"I'll still use six pages this time."

Alger, who had been silent, immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"journal?"

Fors and Hugh exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

Klein nodded calmly.

Once the two materialized the diaries, they suddenly disappeared and appeared in Klein's hands.

Klein quickly scanned the listless, trivial records; he had seen far too many of them already.

Finally, his gaze settled on one of the pages, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"January 1st, the beginning of a new year, and I just finished making my first blasphemous card."

"..."

"I still remember the shock I felt when I first saw the desecrated stone slab."

"So the extraordinary path really is the divine path, and the blasphemous stone tablet really is blasphemy against the gods."

"Above Sequence 1 of each path, there is a Sequence 0, along with the corresponding potion recipes and rituals!"

"Each path can only have one sequence 0!"

"And Sequence 0 is the sequence where the true God resides!"

"For example, sequence 0, the sun!"

"..."

These news were shocking enough to send a storm raging through Klein's heart.

But he knew he couldn't stare at these things for too long.

That doesn't fit the character of the "fool".

He forced himself to suppress his shock and looked at another page of the diary.

And once he saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"On April 1st, I met a man, a very special man."

"He was wearing Solal's armor, shouting 'Praise the Sun!' as he charged into the enemy ranks, cutting down every enemy in his path like butter. Could this be Solal himself?"

"My first thought was that someone was cosplaying, but then I realized it's April 1st, could someone be playing a joke on me? But then I realized something was even more wrong—"

"I've been transported to another world! Where did this cosplay come from, and how is it so realistic? But everything in front of me suggests that this man has some connection with Brother Suo. I suspect he's a time traveler."

As Lu Xun once said, "Make bold hypotheses, and carefully verify them."

"I dared not reveal my identity as a time traveler, so I did not approach him rashly."

"I chose to get close to his sister, Elena, who is a real stunner and perfectly hits my horns."

Klein's eye twitched slightly. "Your Majesty, you really never forget about Cao Bi!"

and also.

That was said by Hu Shih. Apologize to Hu Shih, you bastard!

Despite his complaints, Klein's attention remained glued to the diary, and he continued reading.

"I have to say, Elena is amazing, really, so radiant!"

"Even though it was her first time, she did a better job than any other wealthy woman I've ever met. No wonder she's a believer in the Church of Knowledge; her theoretical knowledge is incredibly rich."

"Elena told me that she and her brother Tyron were both members of the Church of Knowledge. According to her, her brother Tyron's armor was standard issue for the Church of Knowledge's guardian knights."

"Unbelievable! The guardian knights of the Church of Knowledge are shouting 'Praise the Sun'! Aren't you trying to steal the job from the Church of the Radiant Sun? I wonder what the Church of the Radiant Sun thinks of these people."

"However, it seems that Tyren is probably not a time traveler. But it's certain that a high-ranking member of the Church of Knowledge is inextricably linked to time travelers."

"Moreover, I strongly suspect that the god of knowledge and wisdom is this time traveler!"

"You should know that the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the Church of the Eternal Sun have always been hostile to each other. Apart from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom himself, no one dares to let His believers shout 'Praise the Sun'."

"However, I don't quite agree with you, the sovereign god of knowledge and wisdom, instructing your believers to praise the sun instead of Oubek!"

Klein continued looking down and discovered that part of the bottom had been painted over.

Further down, the content differs significantly from the previous section.

"That's what I originally thought, but I was wrong! Elena told me that the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom has a 'painting' that contains a complete world."

"Isn't this the world of painting?!"

"This almost completely overturned my previous understanding; I even wondered if this was the world after the fire was extinguished."

"But upon closer inspection, it seems impossible. After all, there are no rumors about Dark Souls in this world, and I have never heard of anything like the First Flame, the Bonfire, the Undead, or the Lords of Cinder."

"hiss!"

Klein's eyes narrowed, and his heart tightened along with the contents of the diary.

"Could it be that Emperor Roselle has made some astonishing discovery?"

The thought flashed through his mind, but Klein didn't have time to think about it and immediately looked down.

"Elena's mouth is really nice, her tongue is more flexible than a snake's."

"..."

Klein's lips twitched violently. "Emperor Roselle, are you being polite?"

I took my pants off and this is what you show me?

Oh no.

It seems like taking your pants off would be perfect for watching these.

"Getting back to the main point, the possibility that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is a time traveler is still very high. Although the world of painting is somewhat outlandish, it is not entirely unacceptable."

"After all, he is a god and a transmigrator. There is a good chance that he will imitate the game from his previous life and create a painting world."

"But whatever the truth is, I have to find a way to sneak in and see for myself."

"Hmm, I wonder if it's too late to convert to the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"

"..."

After reading the diary, Klein remained silent.

Although I had given up hope for Rosell the Great's integrity, he still exceeded my expectations.

All I can say is, he's truly worthy of the name.

but.

Is the god of knowledge and wisdom also a time traveler?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

However, considering the existence of the embers, Klein had another guess in his mind.

The god of knowledge and wisdom might just be making a meme.

But what Ember has shown has completely proven that he is a ruthless person who has been to the world of "Dark Souls" and personally experienced the linking of the flame.

He even wanted to burn himself.

Besides that, the goddess of the night clearly knew something—

At least He knew Ember's identity; otherwise, He wouldn't have recruited Ember so quickly and thoughtfully told him that the first Lord of Cinder was the Black Emperor.

So, what is the identity of the Goddess of the Night?

Klein's initial guess was that the Goddess of Night, like Ember, was a transmigrator who had been to the Dark Souls world.

If this is the case, then by analogy, the god of knowledge and wisdom is also likely to be the same.

This explains the goddess of night's familiarity with the embers, as well as the god of knowledge and wisdom's continued use of internet slang.

But if that happens...

Wouldn't he and Emperor Roselle seem somewhat out of place?

We're all time travelers, so why can you go to the Dark Souls world first?

"We don't have enough information, so let's not speculate."

Klein sighed and put down the diary in his hand.

Putting aside these uncertain mysteries, the known information is equally valuable.

For example, 'sequence 0'.

The Emperor regretted not choosing the "Diviner," "Apprentice," or "Thief" paths because their corresponding sequence 0 had not yet been generated?

Probably.

"call."

Klein let out a long breath, composed himself, and looked at Audrey.

"Miss Justice, you did a great job. You resolved Beckron's issue on the third day after the commission was made."

"As agreed, what kind of compensation do you hope to receive?"

May Goddess bless me, and I hope Miss Justice's request won't be too difficult.

Klein thought to himself.

"No, it should be that I still owe you, no, I owe you a debt of gratitude for your care."

Audrey rolled her eyes, considered for a few seconds, and smiled faintly, "The total bounty for Hurricane General Ziringus is 3 gold pounds. I should give your followers 15000 pounds. Of that, the assassination of Beckron cost 1 pounds, and I need to pay an additional 5000 pounds."

"However, because of the Beckeron affair, my financial situation hasn't been too good lately, so this payment will have to wait a few months, Mr. Fool, is that alright?"

Although she could ask her father for money, it wouldn't be easy for her to come up with a reason.

After all, you can't exactly say that you recently joined a tarot club and are short of money, can you?

Her father would definitely think she had joined some kind of cult.

"Can."

Klein nodded slightly without making a sound, but he was deeply moved.

It has to be Miss Justice!

Look how high their awareness is!

"World" cleared its throat, seamlessly switching gears to continue, its voice hoarse as it said, "Mr. Fool told me that I can issue missions and collect materials here, is that right?"

"Yes."

Miss Audrey, who had just completed the Fool's request, nodded gracefully.

"World" continued in a hoarse voice, "I want the true root of the Mist Treant, at least 60 milliliters of its corresponding sap, as well as the medullary crystals of the Elf Spring and the entire spinal fluid of the Evil-Striped Black Panther."

"Can any of you provide information, or do you have any relevant clues?"

"What do you want me to exchange for?"

Derrick, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"I know where the Mist Treants are, and I can help you obtain the materials. However, I must wait until I complete my promotion, gain sufficient strength, and join the corresponding patrol squad."

"So what do you hope to gain?"

Klein was delighted and continued to have 'The World' ask questions.

"Sequence 8 'Lightbringer' potion recipe".

"The Sun," Derrick answered without hesitation.

"I have the recipe for the Lightbringer!"

Klein was in a great mood, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan; he didn't directly give the Sequence 8 potion recipe to Sun.

Otherwise, the other party would be demanding the Sun Priest's potion recipe right now.

and--

Klein glanced at the embers, and his eye twitched.

He also had to thank Yu Jin for not stealing his business.

We should also thank the sun, for it has not yet fully digested the singer's recipe.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to do this business.

"no problem."

"World" immediately responded in a hoarse voice, "The main ingredient for Sequence 7 is worth between 500 and 700 pounds, while the potion recipe for Sequence 8 is only worth 450 pounds. What other compensation do you need?"

"unnecessary."

"Sun" thought for a moment and said seriously, "Just give me a potion recipe."

The difference between 450 and 500 doesn't seem to be that big.

Derrick figured giving up wasn't a big deal, so he might as well do someone a favor.

In an instant, a single thought flashed through the minds of everyone in the Tarot Club.

"What a simple and good child!"

"That's not just a pound or two difference, it's a hundred or two pounds!"

Fors couldn't help but glance at the sun a few more times; such an innocent child was a rare sight.

The World didn't want to bully the good kids, so it wrote down the recipe for the Lightbringer and immediately handed it over to them.

Then, in a hoarse voice, he said, "I'll give you an extra 150 pounds, which you can keep for future transactions with other people."

"I still owe Miss Justice 500 pounds."

Upon hearing this, Derrick, nicknamed "The Sun," suddenly remembered that he still owed money and immediately said, "Could you just pay Miss Justice for me?"

"it is good."

"World" nodded, then continued in a hoarse voice, "Where's the spinal fluid of the Evil-Striped Black Panther? Does anyone have it?"

Although 'World' was asking a question, he glanced at Ember out of the corner of his eye.

He knew there was ash.

Why?

Because the corpse of the evil-striped black panther is still lying on the black mist!

Its body remained, but the spinal fluid, which was an extraordinary material, had vanished.

It was clearly taken by the Hanged Man beforehand and handed over to Ember.

After a moment's thought, Ember slowly said, "I have the spinal fluid of the Evil-Striped Black Panther, 700 pounds."

Ember looked up at the top of the world, his expression somewhat suspicious.

【world】???

This is the first time I've encountered this situation. Why is there no name?

"it is good."

'World' agreed without hesitation, then changed the subject, "But I don't have that much money right now."

The World then looked at Audrey and asked, "Miss Justice, could you please transfer the remaining 5000 pounds from Ziringus's bounty to me?"

"Huh?"

Audrey blinked, immediately realizing that the other person was referring to the 5000 pounds she owed the Fool's Family.

In other words.

Is Mr. World just a follower of fools?!

Audrey glanced at the Fool instinctively, but the Fool made no comment.

But the fool's silence is tantamount to tacit agreement.

Audrey quickly recovered and replied, "Sure, but I don't have that much money right now. Hmm, Mr. World, how about I give you the 5000 pounds in five monthly installments of 1000 pounds each?"

"no problem."

The world nodded slightly, and I felt incredibly happy.

Have a look.

As long as you acknowledge your status as a dependent, you can easily obtain a huge sum of 5000 pounds!

What a beautiful passing this was!

As for whether there are any downsides to acknowledging the status of a dependent?

Klein no longer cared about any of that.

Why?

That's because Yu Jin had already seen through his identity!

Since Ember knew that Klein was a member of the Fool's Clan, he certainly couldn't hide the identity of "The World" either.

After all, "The World" was originally a disguise prepared for "Klein".

Since that's the case, it's better to just admit it openly—

In short, open for business!

Since we're already exposed, we might as well expose ourselves completely and just go all out.

At least this way we can still get the £5000 from Miss Audrey.

If that's the case, why not do it?

Moreover, this way, the money to buy the Black Panther Spinal Cord from the Evil Mark was easily obtained.

Now all he has to do is wait for the Sun to get the Mist Treant's root so he can start preparing to advance to the level of a magician!

He had no hope of obtaining the marrow crystal from the Fairy Spring.

And it doesn't matter if we don't get it, it's just a pretext anyway.

As for potions?

He had already fully digested it.

The moment he realized he was like a clown.

"Is Mr. World a relative of Mr. Fool?"

Alger was also shocked by the news, finding it both unbelievable and yet perfectly reasonable.

For example.

All of them sat on either side of the long bronze table, except for the World, which sat opposite Mr. Fool.

This alone proves that their relationship is extraordinary!

Originally, this tarot gathering was just a celebration for outsiders like them, but now that Mr. Fool's family has joined in, does this mean that they have been accepted to some extent?

Alger's spirits lifted, and he felt a sense of joy and excitement at joining the church's upper echelons.

"Mr. Lover."

Audrey asked with a hint of anticipation, "Have you found anything about those extraordinary materials I entrusted to you?"

"I have the eyes and blood of the Mirror Dragon, and the Hanged Man has the fruit of the Elder Tree."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and explained, "1500 pounds in total, is that alright?"

"no problem."

Audrey hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

She doesn't have that much money right now.

Firstly, a fixed allowance of 1000 pounds per month must be given to Ember, and secondly, 1000 pounds must be given to Mr. Fool's family.

Adding the £1500 spent on purchasing these exceptional materials, that brings the total to a full £3500.

But her monthly allowance was only £1000, which was far from enough.

But it doesn't matter; I'm sure Earl Hall won't refuse to buy one or two exceptional materials for his daughter.

"World" looked around and said hoarsely, "Besides that, I also want to obtain information on all the impoverished nobles of the Kingdom of Rune, including their current addresses, the more detailed the better."

As he spoke, he glanced at Audrey unconsciously.

After all, of all the people present, only Miss Audrey could fulfill his request.

"..."

Miss Justice felt the gaze of the 'world' and puffed out her cheeks.

Why is it that anyone can guess she is a noblewoman from the Kingdom of Rune?

"All right."

Miss Audrey sighed inwardly, and simply asked, "But may I ask what the world intends to do with this information?"

Mr. World is a follower of Mr. Fool, and his actions are likely at Mr. Fool's behest.

So Audrey didn't ask directly, but instead inquired indirectly.

The world chuckled hoarsely, "You don't need to worry. I'm just looking for something that won't harm them. I swear on that, Mr. Fool is my witness."

"I need some time to collect and refine this information, probably about three or four days, is that alright?"

Audrey thought for a moment and replied in a more formal manner.

"No problem."

The world chuckled softly.

"This efficiency is just too high!"

Fors and Hugh, who were sitting next to Audrey, exchanged a glance.

Even if they couldn't see the other person's expression, they could tell that the other person was numb.

Everything at the Tarot Club exceeded their expectations—

For example, Mr. Fool is a real god!

A gathering of extraordinary beings convened by a god—they had never heard of such a thing before!

Rather, this is absolutely the first time in history, okay?

and.

The efficiency of Tarot Club is also astonishingly high!

In the past, they had almost never gotten what they wanted at the Extraordinary Gathering in Backlund.

Hughes has been seeking the Sheriff's potion recipe for three years, and Fors himself has been asking to collect the Master of Tricks' potion recipe for over two years at the Extraordinary Gathering.

I've attended at least a hundred extraordinary gatherings, but not a single one has been successful!

But neither she nor Hugh ever got what they wanted.

The same applies to other wild extraordinary beings.

Very few people can get the items they want at a party.

But at the Tarot meeting, the two only needed to exchange a few words to reach an agreement.

And as things stand at the moment.

They had also roughly figured out the roles of the members of the Tarot Club.

For example, Miss Justice is a rich woman with countless pounds.

Mr. World is a relative of Mr. Fool, and is a level above them in terms of status alone.

Moreover, the other party also seems to possess a considerable number of potion recipes.

Mr. Sun, Mr. Lovers, and Mr. Hanged Man are all providers of extraordinary materials.

They all possess extraordinary materials in quantities that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

This is precisely why Tarot readings are so efficient.

After all, they have neither a shortage of money nor a shortage of extraordinary materials and potion recipes, so how could the transaction not go smoothly?

"Mr. Hanged Man".

After finishing his discussion with the world about rewards, Justice turned to Alger, the "Hanged Man," and asked, "When will you return from the sea?"

"It will take about two more weeks."

Alger pondered for a moment before replying, "We are about to arrive in Bayam and will stay there for a while, no more than three days. After that, we can head directly to Port Pritz, a journey that should take no more than ten days."

"So barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to return to Backlund within two weeks."

"you?"

Fors keenly grasped the meaning of this word, and considering how detailed the "lovers" were about the extraordinary materials in Mr. Hanged Man's possession, she was certain that "you" referred to the two of them.

Furthermore, Bayam is the capital of the Roside Islands in the Sunia Sea.

The conclusion can be easily drawn.

The lovers are now in the Sunya Sea!

If he really is Yu Jin, then is he really on a business trip?

Why would anyone go to the Sudan Sea for no reason?

"Miss Magician, Miss Judge."

Miss Justice asked with some concern, "Don't you have any needs?"

"Not at the moment."

Fors looked somewhat embarrassed and could only manage to brush it off.

She did want to exchange some items at the Tarot meeting.

But she has no money!

Even with the 1000 gold pounds that Miss Audrey gave, splitting it 50/50 with Hugh would only amount to 500 pounds.

With her meager savings, she was just enough to buy the 'Astrologer' potion recipe from the embers.

As for rest?

She's even poorer than me!

Hugh seemed to sense something and looked up, meeting Fors's gaze.

The two of them suddenly felt a little awkward.

Why do they always feel out of place in the atmosphere of the Tarot Club?

It's like two poor people mixed in with a group of rich people. The rich people are making all sorts of big deals, while they can only watch from the sidelines.

"Give it your all, Miss Magician, Miss Judge!"

Klein looked at the two women and couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, he paid a price for bringing these two people up here.

There are strict restrictions on pulling people up above the gray fog.

For example, before he became an extraordinary being, he could only pull two people.

One is justice, the other is the Hanged Man.

After he becomes a diviner, he can recruit another person, namely Ember.

Only after the diviner has finished digesting the potion can he raise the sun.

And when it comes to 'The Magician' and subsequent sequences, it should be the same, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

When he becomes the Joker, he can pull one person; after he finishes digesting the Joker potion, he can pull a second one.

And now, the Magician and the Judge have just occupied those two spots.

This also means that he will no longer be able to bring people to the Gray Fog before he becomes a Sequence 7 'Magician'.

Klein actually had a guess about this pattern—

Before becoming an Extraordinary, you can only recruit two people. From Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, you can recruit two people per sequence.

There are a total of 20 people.

But if we include 'Sequence 0' whom we just learned about today, then there are a total of 22 people.

Coincidentally, there are twenty-two Major Arcana cards in a Tarot deck.

There are twenty-two chairs above the gray fog, ten on each side and one in front and behind.

If we expand our thinking a little further, there are a total of 22 extraordinary sequences in this world.

The last one is hard to say.

But the preceding '22's must have some profound connection.

Klein was absolutely certain of this!

When there are too many coincidences, it's definitely not just a simple coincidence.

Unfortunately, he doesn't yet know what the connection between them is.

It doesn't matter.

He'll find it sooner or later.

"Mr. World"

After hesitating for a long time, Xiu asked tentatively, "Can I accept the commission to gather intelligence on impoverished nobles?"

"certainly."

Klein's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded calmly. "As long as it's not repetitive, I will give the corresponding reward."

For him, having one more person to gather intelligence wasn't a bad thing.

As for whether this will lead to a conflict between Miss Justice and Miss Judge.

Klein didn't think so.

After all, the two sides are at different levels and have different channels for gathering intelligence.

There's no reason for a conflict to arise over such a trivial matter.

not to mention--

They might even know each other in real life.

Klein's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange as he thought about this.

……

As soon as the Tarot session ended, the members who had already made their deals immediately began trading.

The goods in a trade are transferred to both parties by offering sacrifices to the Fool.

Since Ember and Alger were on the same ship, there was no need for the time-consuming and laborious process of transferring them twice.

Therefore, Alger offered the sacrifice directly on Alger's behalf, handing all the items over to the Fool.

Klein remained standing guard above the gray fog and did not leave.

After receiving the 2500 pounds offered as a sacrifice by Miss Justice, he gave 2200 pounds of it to Alger.

At the same time, he also bestowed upon her the eyes and blood of the Mirror Dragon, which belonged to Miss Justice, as well as the fruit of the Elder Tree.

In the end, he was left with only one extraordinary material—

The spinal fluid of the Evil-Striped Black Panther.

It was a tube of what appeared to be a transparent liquid, but upon closer inspection, one would find that its clarity was layered, becoming more transparent towards the bottom, perfectly segmented, fully satisfying the desires of those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"All that's missing is the real roots and sap of the Mist Treant."

As Klein breathed a sigh of relief, a new idea popped into his mind.

Sequence 7 from different pathways seems to have some similarities.

That is, in addition to the two main ingredients, it seems that the blood of the extraordinary creature to which one of the main ingredients belongs is also needed.

For example, he needs the sap of the Mist Treant, while Miss Justice needs the blood of the Mirror Dragon.

Is there any particular reason for this?

……

"Is your lover an ember?"

In the house at 117 Burningham Road in Hillston, Fors and Hugh, who had just woken up, asked the same question almost simultaneously.

"It must be him."

Fors asserted, "Their speaking habits and body types are completely identical; I don't think there's any other possibility."

"But why would he suddenly go to the Sea of ​​Sunya?"

Xiu frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"How would I know?"

Fors rolled her eyes. "I'll just have to ask him myself next time."

"And what about your situation?"

Hugh hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Are you going to talk to him about it?"

Yesterday was the night of the full moon.

To encourage Fors, she and Fors recited the Fool's real name together.

That's why they were all pulled up into the gray fog.

With Mr. Fool's protection, Fors's ramblings on the night of the full moon would no longer bother him.

But at some point, she seemed to have been targeted by the curse called "Will Unsetin".

"never mind."

Fors shook her head and said softly, "Let's talk to him when he gets back."

……

"We should be able to reach Bayam before evening."

Alger stepped out of the ship and said to Ember, who was standing on the deck looking at the scenery, "If everything goes well, it might not take three days. It could probably be done tomorrow."

"in addition."

Alger paused for a moment, then handed Ember a banknote containing 1,500 gold pounds. "This is your share."

Is your craftsman friend reliable?

Yu Jin took the money and suddenly asked a question.

"It should be fine."

Alger was about to say he was reliable, but after hesitating for a moment, he cautiously said, "I've been working with him for a while now, and his character is reliable. Besides, even if he wanted to inform on me, he might not have the means."

"I see."

Yu Jin murmured to himself, "I hope your friend is reliable."

Alger's lips twitched slightly.

But deep down, I was also a little wary.

He hadn't considered this issue before.

But if the "craftsman" is really unreliable, then they might have to find a way to shut him up.

Even if Ember doesn't make a move out of consideration for him, Alger will still not let him go.

After all, leaking customer information is a taboo subject.

Even if they know each other well, they can't break the rules.
