The Hermit, , slightly turned her body and looked at The Magician:

"This question is a bit complicated. I suggest you wait another one or two weeks. I can't promise anything, but I can say that by then, someone should be able to help you create a mystical item."

should be... That means, it might not be the same 'Artisan' after all... Is she planning to raise an 'Artisan' herself? Or find a way to turn the current 'Artisan' into a sealed artefact and use machines to make machines? Hmm, Madame Hermit is indeed an experienced Beyonder who has no fear of killing... This suggests she doesn't belong to an orthodox organization... The Star Leonard listened quietly, analyzing in his mind, for the first time being so serious during a meeting.

"No problem." The Magician Fors had full confidence in Madame Hermit, after all, she had already collected the blood of a mythical creature, and there might soon be a qualitative change.

Just then, she heard The World, Gehrman Sparrow, speak in a hoarse voice:

"If you need help with this matter, you can come to me."

For Klein, the unusual interest the had in the Fog, and the warning "Beware the Moon" in Emperor Roselle's diary, made him, who was determined to uncover the secrets of the transmigration and the essence of that Light Gate, pay more attention than ever to matters concerning the Rose School and the followers of the Primordial Moon. Moreover, the 'Artisan' was now involved in the intersection of both aspects.

The Hermit Cattleya hadn't expected The World to offer help voluntarily. After a moment of silence, she nodded slightly:

"Alright. If I can't handle it, I'll seek your help through Mr. Fool."

She specifically emphasized seeking help through Mr. Fool in order to let the two new members know that the had a miraculous method of communication, and they didn't need to be surprised or troubled by it; they would naturally understand in due time.

As the pirate general with the highest bounty on the five seas and the leader of a pirate fleet of several hundred people, she wasn't acting out of pure goodwill, nor out of concern that the new members' many questions might delay the meeting. It was out of habit—the habit of establishing authority in front of newcomers.

Of course, in reality, unless time was too short to arrange a ritual, Cattleya would rather summon Gehrman Sparrow's messenger than bother Mr. Fool.

Seeking help through Mr. Fool... Judgment Xio vaguely understood something more and suppressed the urge to look at Fors.

Can you really seek help through Mr. Fool? Leonard's thoughts raced and he made some guesses.

Seeing that someone had already broken the ice, he relaxed a bit, thought for a few seconds, and spoke up:

"I need a mystical item."

"What type?" Justice Audrey responded in time to avoid an awkward silence.

Leonard went "Uh," and answered instinctively:

"I don't know..."

He had only had such an idea in mind, hadn't thought about the details, and then was brought into this gathering, where he discovered the possibility.

"I don't know... Is this guy a fool?" Mr. Fool Klein, who was quite familiar with Leonard's casualness and carelessness, suppressed his smile and mentally insulted him.

Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him with ambiguous expressions, The Star Leonard felt a bit embarrassed and quickly added:

"I mean, any type is fine, so long as it's more oriented toward attack, can be used stealthily, and has less side effects. I can accept it."

He planned to use his Nightmare's strong control ability—he himself would immobilize the target, while would manipulate the mystical item to deliver a fatal blow to the dazed opponent. Once he became a Spirit Warden and had the help of nature spirits or vengeful spectral shadows sealed in his teeth, he could also perform such split-second multi-tasking.

After The Star finished explaining, The Hanged Man Alger didn't delve into details and asked:

"What level are you looking for?"

"One that's quite powerful among Level 2 sealed artefacts. Uh, corresponding to Sequence 6 or Sequence 5 level." Leonard first habitually described it as an official Beyonder, but then switched to a more common expression.

At that moment, Justice Audrey, The Hermit Cattleya, The Hanged Man Alger, and Judgment Xio all had the same thought flash through their minds:

Mr. Star is an official Beyonder, or at least was one!

In their view, Beyonders who don't belong to formal organizations might sometimes use the concept of levels for sealed artefacts, but when it comes to expressing precise meanings and needs, they would undoubtedly avoid such vague descriptions and prefer more direct and understandable categories.

Therefore, the conclusion was easy to draw.

And that made things even more interesting.

Hmm, Mr. World is actually familiar with an official Beyonder... How did they get to know each other? And how did he bring an official Beyonder into the gathering? Justice Audrey remained silent, maintaining her Spectator posture, enjoying herself.

Then, The Hanged Man Alger made an "mm" sound and said:

"A mystical item at Sequence 5 level costs at least 9,000 pounds. If it meets your requirements, it might normally exceed 12,000 pounds."

"Very straightforward..." The Star Leonard nodded:

"I understand."

Hearing his answer, Mr. Fool Klein barely covered his face and then gave a silent sigh in his heart.
