As he looked at The Hermit
"How does Mr. Fool know that I want to ask a question rather than make a request... As expected of Mr. Fool..." Cattleya changed her thoughts and spoke respectfully:
"Honorable Mr. Fool, I would like to know the meaning of these two symbols?"
After receiving permission, she materialized two Chinese characters: "gu" and "xiang".
"As expected..." Klein sighed silently. "Together they mean 'hometown,' a place of solace for the heart and spirit."
"Together... a place of solace for the heart and spirit..." The Hermit Cattleya focused on the latter part of the phrase, because she knew very well where the Mysterious Queen's hometown was and didn't see anything special about it.
Justice Audrey, The Hanged Man Alger, and other
Mr. Fool Klein didn't say any more, leaned back against the back of his chair, and said:
"Begin."
The Hanged Man Alger immediately turned his head and looked at The World Gehrman Sparrow, who was at the far end of the bronze long table:
"Your wondrous item is almost finished. I can give it to you this week."
He was referring to the wondrous item corresponding to the Beyonder characteristic of the Ocean Singer.
That Artisan had earlier prioritized completing Miss Justice's gloves, so Mr. World's commission had been postponed to this week.
With Mr. Azik not yet having replied and the seal on
"Not too slow."
"Not too slow... If it were delayed another two or three weeks or a month, would you 'teleport' over to visit me?" The Hanged Man Alger thought with a hint of wariness.
Since his initial plan was to obtain the Calamity Priest potion from the Church of Storms, and he had just begun to digest the Ocean Singer, he didn't purchase corresponding Beyonder materials, returned to silence, and observed the other members' transactions.
For Alger, the most important thing now was to acquire one or two more wondrous items to complement the Spirit Whip. Keep in mind that although wondrous items should be refined rather than numerous, and one should try to avoid overlapping negative effects, it was still quite awkward for a quasi-strong Sequence 5 to have only one item.
Under normal circumstances, a Sequence 5 Beyonder having two or three wondrous items whose negative effects don't promote each other is the best combination.
Of course, Alger had already ordered one; once the Artisan finished Mr. World Gehrman Sparrow's item, it would be his turn for the six-winged gargoyle core crystal.
For this, he had to pay 1,000 pounds, and together with the fee he helped Mr. World pay, his already limited cash had decreased by a full 2,000 pounds, leaving him with only 1,800 pounds, of which 500 pounds were the commission from Miss Justice's glove.
Seeing that no one spoke for a while, The Moon Emlyn turned his gaze to The Sun and asked cautiously:
"I need a Sequence 5 Artificial Vampire Beyonder characteristic. What would you like for it?"
During this time, he had already inquired within the vampire clan and knew that there was a way to remove the spiritual pollution from a characteristic, but one needed to make sufficient contributions to apply.
So Emlyn thought to first get the main ingredient for the potion needed for advancement, and consider other issues later.
According to his observations, such a Sequence 5 Artificial Vampire Beyonder characteristic was worth about 8,000 pounds, anyway Mr. World had set that price, and he himself had only a bit over 5,400 pounds in cash, the gap was still far.
According to Emlyn's original thoughts and habits, he would definitely have saved up 8,000 pounds before proposing a trade to The Sun. He was not a vampire who liked to consume in advance or take loans; even the newest and best dolls couldn't make him shameless enough to borrow money from others, he would only save more and work harder to accumulate. However, he quickly realized a problem: The Sun didn't accept cash at all. To the residents of the
Therefore, Emlyn believed that The Sun would propose a request for items, and it was better to know early so he could prepare in advance.
Moreover, The Sun was not very aware of the market conditions outside, maybe what he wanted was only worth 5,000 pounds... The Moon Emlyn, anticipating a surprise, slightly lifted his chin and stared at The Sun beside him.
The Sun Derrick thought seriously and said:
"Uh... the potion formula for Sequence 5 of the
Initially, he wanted to say: Help me repay the debt I owe Mr. World. But he realized that Mr. World had never made any demands, so he thought it wasn't suitable to transfer to someone else.
Besides, having participated in so many Tarot gatherings, Derrick was no longer a newcomer who didn't understand much, and moreover, there were standards for resource exchange within the City of Silver. He clearly knew that the difference between a Sequence 6 Notary potion formula and a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic was huge, and using the debt incurred from the former to offset the latter was extremely disadvantageous. Therefore, he changed his request to the Sequence 5 potion formula.
