Chapter 142: The First Tarot Club
The figure at the end of the long table introduced ‘Justice’ and ‘The Hanged Man’ in turn.
Xifa smiled politely and nodded implicitly to the three old and new members of the Tarot Club. He remembered that Miss Justice was the audience channel, so he did not show excessive enthusiasm and kept a sense of distance to avoid letting those people
A young lady found that she seemed to have known about the existence of her and the Hanged Man all along.
Directly in front of Xifa, 'Justice' raised his skirt and responded politely. As for 'The Hanged Man', this old man didn't say a word and didn't know what he was thinking.
‘Taiyang’, on the other hand, was very restrained and did not make any movement in response to the celebration, looking slightly nervous.
After the introductions were completed, the members took their seats.
Xifa chose two different places from the Hanged Man and found a high-backed chair to sit down. The backs of these chairs all had bright lights, outlining strange constellations.
Very high quality.
Look, this is the protagonist, this is Goldfinger.
Not like me.
There is only one book, but fortunately, there are countless watchers behind me.
Maybe they are from outside the dimension, watching this party!
After sitting down, I heard Miss Justice's soft voice and said with joy: "Mr. Fool, I have collected two more pages of Emperor Russell's diary."
As a newcomer, Xifa remained silent and listened to the exchange between Klein and Justice. From their exchange, it was learned that members of the Tarot Society provided the Emperor's notes to Klein and could then receive rewards from Klein.
This is the so-called equivalent exchange.
During the meeting, Miss Justice expressed that she needed the mind reader formula.
“‘Mind reader’ potion recipe? ‘Mind reader’ followed by ‘psychoanalyst’?”
Suddenly 'The Sun' spoke up and promised to help 'Justice' get the formula.
It is indeed a Tarot Society.
The recipe for Sequence 7 can be obtained easily, so there should be hope for my ‘arsonist’.
Xifa was in a happy mood and almost forgot the unpleasantness of being assassinated at noon. It can be seen from the exchanges among the members that in addition to being able to exchange with Klein at an equal value, this rule also applies to each other.
This is the charm of the platform!
At the party, the conversation between "The Sun" and the others quickly moved to the "City of Silver", and it sounded like "The Sun" came from the City of Silver.
Judging from the reactions of Justice and the Hanged Man, they seemed not to know the existence of the 'City of Silver', which made Xifa very confused. Could this city exist in other dimensions?
If that's the case, Klein's golden finger is so powerful that he can even attract people from other dimensions.
Then, the topic turned back to the potion formula.
"I will give 'The Sun' a formula for the 'Singer', and 'The Sun' will give the formula for the 'Mind Reader' potion to Miss Justice as soon as possible..."
The vague figure at the head of the long table, with a relaxed and leisurely attitude, decided a transaction involving three parties in a few words.
At this point, the palace was temporarily calm. Xifa, who had not interrupted, took the opportunity to speak.
"Dear Mr. Fool, from your exchange just now, I found that you seem to be quite interested in Emperor Russell's notes."
"I happen to have a few notes like this on hand. I don't know how I can bring them to you?"
The blurry shadow leaned back and chuckled: "It's very simple. You write down the words on it. When the next party is held, you can present them according to your wishes and hand them over to
I."
I can give it to you now!
Of course Xifa didn't do this. He restrained his impulse and knew that he had to wait patiently until the next meeting before presenting his notes so as not to arouse suspicion.
"That's it...I remember it. After I go back, I will try to remember those symbols. To be honest, those symbols are too complicated. I should be able to remember one page. No, two pages!"
"I am looking forward."
The figure behind the thick fog responded in a nonchalant tone.
Then, Xifa saw a piece of parchment flashing out of the hand of 'The Sun', while 'Justice' picked up the pen and stared at the paper in front of him in a daze.
Then the yellow robe-colored parchment disappeared from her hand, and it was unknown where it went.
A long silence followed.
When Xifa was confused, 'Justice' across the table whispered: "We can communicate freely after Mr. Fool has finished reading the diary."
I see.
This is the standard process of Tarot Club.
After waiting patiently for a while, Xifa felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and he heard the steady voice behind the gray fog again: "Actually, you don't have to wait for me."
Then the 'Hanged Man', who was two seats away from Xifa, responded humbly: "This is our honor."
Then the members began to communicate.
What are the methods of selecting public officials through public examinations, what matters about the King and the Prime Minister, the House of Lords and the House of Commons...
During this process, Xifa noticed that the terms "Psychological Alchemy Society" and "Aurora Society" sounded like the names of secret organizations.
Then, at a certain point in the exchange, he seized the opportunity and said: "Everyone, I am looking for the formula of 'Arsonist'. If you can provide it, I am willing to pay any reward, including money."
"Of course, it has to be within my capabilities."
With my ability, regardless of money or other means, there should still be a way to pay for an 'Arsonist' recipe.
"Arsonist?"
The Hanged Man looked towards Xifa, but he couldn't see Xifa's appearance clearly. He could only see that he was wearing an expensive shirt.
"I know an arsonist. If I can meet him at sea, I may be able to help you find out this recipe, but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to give you what you want at the next party."
Xifa smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I don't know what reward Mr. Hanged Man wants. I can prepare it in advance."
He paused and looked up with a respectful attitude: "Speaking of which, Dear Mr. Fool, I have a question, how do we pay for what others are seeking?"
The figure behind the thick fog responded calmly: "About this, I will tell you after the meeting and give you the specific time of the party, so that you can prepare calmly before the next party."
"Thank you for your information." Xifa learned from the Hanged Man, and responded with a humble tone while showing off his knowledge.
Taking advantage of the fact that the focus of the members was temporarily on themselves, Xifa asked another question: "I don't know if you have ever seen such a phenomenon. The few friends I know are all ordinary people."
Chapter completed!
