Klein leisurely sat in the seat belonging to "The Fool," looked around, and said: "This is Miss 'Magician,' our new member."
Next, he looked at Fors and introduced them one by one: "This is Miss 'Justice,' and this is Mr. 'Hanged Man'…"
Fors, while matching the codenames with the individuals and nodding in greeting, observed the other members:
Miss "Justice" was a blonde lady who seemed very young, sitting with an elegant posture. Mr. "Hanged Man" had deep blue hair, as messy as seaweed. His build wasn't particularly strong, and although he didn't talk much, when he stared at you, it gave an uneasy feeling. He was probably the leader of some faction… Mr. "Sun" appeared to be only a teenager, very silent and reserved. Other than that, nothing else was apparent. Perhaps he was as weak as she was. Mr. "World" had a cold look in his eyes and was quite gloomy. It was obvious at a glance that he wasn't someone to be messed with… The young lady author who had written a best-selling novel fully utilized her specialty.
While she was observing the other members, they were observing her as well. Among them, "Justice" Audrey was the most meticulous.
"From her build, I can rule out Miss Xio. Brown hair, slightly curly, this must be Ms. Fors, right? I can't rule out the possibility that Mr. Fool brought in someone else. Mm, the pronunciation matches the lip movements, the Backlund accent, the aura, and the details of the emotional colors are also very consistent… Mr. Fool shouldn't be going through the trouble of forging an image for a member. He has no reason to hide anything…" In just a few seconds of sizing her up, Audrey almost completely overlapped that blurry figure with the image of Fors in her mind.
Once she found another piece of supporting evidence, she could practically confirm it… She waited with great interest to verify her extraordinary ability.
At the same time, she felt it was unnecessary to reveal her identity to Fors.
It was better to keep a little secret. Mm… Let's see when she finds out! "Justice" Audrey withdrew her gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips, quietly observing.
Just then, since there were no new Roselle diaries, Klein manipulated "The World" to speak: "I want information on the two Sequences of 'Demon' and 'Guardian.'"
He was certain that "The Sun" knew the details of Sequence 6 "Demon," because the other party had mentioned "Demonology" last time. To avoid exposing his own investigation into the serial murders, he deliberately added the Sequence 5 "Guardian" of the "God of War" pathway — this pathway was also known as the "Giant" pathway, and was precisely the mainstream path for the Beyonders of the City of Silver. It was impossible for "The Sun" not to be clear about it.
Among them, Klein had long since grasped the detailed characteristics of Sequence 9 "Warrior," Sequence 8 "Fighter," and Sequence 7 "Weapon Master" from the internal files of the Nighthawks. The information on Sequence 6 "Dawn Knight" had just been obtained from Father Utravsky. Therefore, the only one he could ask about, afford to pay for, and not have to waste, was Sequence 5 "Guardian."
Furthermore, he didn't directly ask "The Sun." He instead posted the commission to everyone, because according to the "setup," "The World," who had just joined the Tarot Club, couldn't possibly know that the City of Silver possessed the "Giant" pathway.
"If it's just the 'Demon' sequence, I know a bit about it." Alger, "The Hanged Man," who held a certain position in the Church of Storms, interjected.
Derrick Berg, "The Sun," glanced at him, stopped deliberating, straightened his back, and said: "I am very clear on both of these sequences." "The payment I want is information related to the 'Fallen Creator.'" "Whether the two pieces of information are equivalent will be decided by 'Mr. Fool.'"
Having said this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked for Mr. Fool's permission. He quickly turned to look at the head of the table and made a respectful request.
Mr. Sun, you can't blame me for this. This was your own request… A corner of Klein's mouth twitched. He let out a soft laugh. "Granted."
And when it comes to knowledge of the 'True Creator,' none of the ladies and gentlemen present can match me… He added righteously in his heart.
While they were having this discussion, "The Magician" Fors was listening nearby, completely baffled: "Is the 'Demon' Sequence from the 'Demon' pathway? Which Sequence level?" "And 'Guardian'? Which pathway is that? What Sequence?" "How have I never heard of this…" "Fallen Creator? True Creator?" "God! They actually want to exchange information on the 'True Creator'?" "That being is known as the oldest and most powerful among the gods." "What exactly is this organization I've joined?"
"The World," who had received Mr. Fool's affirmative reply, immediately said without any hesitation: "Deal!" "I request a private exchange."
I really want to listen… But I have to be frugal recently. There are still over two months until the New Year. Hold it in, Audrey! "Justice" Audrey blinked, reluctantly retracting her gaze from "The Sun."
