Chapter 342: A Private Conversation

December 9, 2018 · 5 min read · 981 words

Stone pillars stood before them, supporting a high, arched ceiling, while the mottled, ancient long table seemed to have been placed there hundreds or even thousands of years ago… Although had seen this scene many times, every time she came above the gray fog, she still felt a deep sense of awe slowly reverberating within her.

She swept her gaze around, not seeing any new members, then looked at the head of the table and bowed to the summoner shrouded in thick gray fog: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

As she spoke, she suddenly noticed a card lying on the table to Mr. Fool's right, its back adorned with intricate and magnificent patterns.

It lay there quietly, casually, like an ordinary object.

Th-this, that's the Blasphemy Card? The Blasphemy Card that conceals a god's pathway! Audrey instantly understood. After Mr. Fool nodded in response, she subconsciously glanced at The Hanged Man, The Sun, and The Magician, and saw that they too had noticed the card that hadn't been there before.

However, their looks and movements revealed confusion and surprise, as well as inevitable speculation; after all, a card placed at the hand of the mysterious and lofty Mr. Fool could not possibly be an ordinary object… Hmm, Mr. World's reaction was a bit strange—he didn't look over there at all… Is he just too good at hiding? Is he truly the nemesis of Spectators and Mind Readers? Audrey quickly concluded that apart from Mr. Fool, she alone here knew about the Blasphemy Card.

This made her quite proud, like when she was a child sharing a secret with her parents while her two brothers were in the dark.

That was the Blasphemy Card made by Emperor Roselle, a treasure fantasized about by countless beyonders in the mystical world! After The Magician, The Sun, and the others had finished their greetings, Audrey voluntarily raised her hand and said: "Honored Mr. Fool, I have something I wish to report to you in private."

A private report? Alger, The Hanged Man, frowned slightly, subconsciously guessing at the content, but had no clue.

Derrick, The Sun, and the others were curious but not too concerned.

Klein nodded gently: "You may."

To be honest, he also had no idea what Miss Justice wanted to report.

After waiting two seconds, he blocked the senses of the other members and gave a prompt to Justice.

Audrey sat upright and said sincerely: "Mr. Fool, because I was seeking the Spectator formula at a beyonder gathering, two people who are likely members of the have recently been contacting me through certain nobles."

"I am inclined to join them, but only if I can ensure my own safety."

"What is your opinion on this? I value it greatly."

Psychology Alchemists… According to various sources, this is a not particularly evil organization; they currently might not have a deity they worship, and their main purpose is the exploration and study of the mind, consciousness, psyche, and spirituality, closer to an academic association. Of course, in the eyes of the orthodox churches, this is also blasphemy (they believe everyone's spirit belongs to God). Moreover, according to Dust Goodrian, there is a certain tendency among the upper echelons of the Psychology Alchemists—a degree of worship, a rather primitive worship, of the original Creator, the God who created everything… Klein's mind flashed through numerous thoughts, but in the end, he just smiled and said: "If you think it's appropriate, you can go ahead."

"If you encounter difficulties, you can seek help at the Tarot gathering."

"Thank you for your advice." Audrey immediately felt relieved.

Klein thought for a moment and added in a very calm, leisurely tone: "Within the Psychology Alchemists, there are people planted by the churches, such as informants for the Punishers and informants for the Night Watchers. You need to know how to hide and disguise yourself."

Mr. Fool is so kind, even specifically reminding me to be careful… Audrey's eyes curved slightly, and she replied with a faint smile: "From now on, within the Psychology Alchemists, there will also be an informant from the Tarot gathering."

… Miss Justice, you haven't even joined yet, and you're already thinking about how to betray them… Klein silently drew an invisible crimson moon for the Psychology Alchemists.

After finishing the report on the Psychology Alchemists, Audrey didn't rush to end the private conversation but instead said: "Mr. Fool, I have memorized two more pages of Roselle's diary."

This was also the reason she requested a private conversation. If she materialized Roselle's diary and gave it to Mr. Fool in front of The Magician, Fors, she could imagine that after returning, Fors would immediately come to borrow the "Roselle Notes" she had bought before. And the Goddess could testify that Mr. Fool had already read them all!

She had forgotten before, so over the past two days, she would find an opportunity to tell Fors that the "Roselle Notes" she bought had been chewed up by . Yes, chewed up, turned into pieces, irreparable! Sorry, Susie… Audrey silently repented in her heart.

"Very good." Klein nodded with satisfaction, tapping the edge of the bronze long table to help Miss Justice materialize the diary.

When the two pages were in his hands and he cast his gaze upon them, his smile gradually stiffened.

The first line of the diary read: "March 6th, dammit, the food here is making me constipated!"

I saw this at the Roselle exhibition… Klein concealed his expression, turned to the second page, and found that the content was still Roselle's various complaints and novel experiences from early in his transmigration, with no practical value.

He composed his expression, smiled, and said: "Would you like to deduct the reward from the pounds not yet paid, or would you like something extra?"

Audrey didn't hesitate at all and directly said:
