Audrey and Alger both looked at Hobert, but their gazes were different.
Audrey was excited: "Great, great!" She was worried about not having a channel to investigate the intelligence of the Secret Order.
Although Alger was also a little tempted, he was still rational: "No need, I have a channel to investigate the Secret Order."
So Hobert asked Audrey: "Do you want to trade privately or publicly?"
"Publicly," Audrey said with a smile, "This way, Mr. Hanged Man will know which information is already known."
In other words, "Hanged Man" must collect information that Hobert has not mentioned in order to complete the transaction with Mr. Fool.
Hobert almost covered his face, what a nice girl who thinks for others!
Klein also sighed in his heart: As expected of Miss Justice.
Alger was a little helpless, wondering when he had offended "Justice", but thinking about how he had previously used some not very valuable information to trick... cough, to trade 1000 pounds from "Justice".
But today, Mr. Fool generously disclosed some very valuable information. Alger estimated that "Justice" was a little angry about being deceived and a little unbalanced about spending money unjustly.
Even if "Justice" doesn't care about 1000 pounds, the feeling of being deceived will still make her a little unhappy, so Alger didn't refute after hearing "Justice's" words.
Hobert said to Audrey: "Let's talk about the reward, how about 500 pounds? It's still a profit for you, because the information that Mr. Fool traded with you just now is worth at least 1000 pounds."
In fact, this information is only worth 300 pounds, but if Hobert says that, Audrey probably won't refuse.
Sure enough, Audrey nodded happily: "Okay, 500 pounds it is."
"Plus the 1500 pounds you owed me before, you owe me a total of 2000 pounds. You can pay me together after the gathering."
"No problem."
Hobert organized his words and said: "The Secret Order possesses the 'Seer' pathway potion formula known for its mystery. The members of this organization rarely appear in people's sight. Each time they appear, they are generally looking for the Antigonus family's relics."
Klein, behind the fog, immediately thought of the Antigonus notebook. For him, that was the beginning of everything.
Hobert continued: "According to the Law of Conservation, it is not difficult for us to guess that they are actually looking for sealed artifacts or characteristics related to the 'Seer' pathway.
"According to reliable information, the Secret Order is a secret organization established by the Zaratul family. The Zaratul family had angels in the Fourth Epoch and were mortal enemies with the Antigonus family. Although the Church of the Evernight Goddess controls their Sequence 5 advancement channel by capturing and raising mermaids, it is believed that the current strength of the Secret Order should not be weak.
"It is said that the Secret Order once cooperated with Emperor Roselle and is still an important part of the Beyonder force of the Intis Republic. Their members are all over the intelligence department of the Intis Republic. The Intis Republic Embassy in Backlund should be able to find traces of its members.
"Miss Justice, are you satisfied with my information?"
Hobert didn't know if Audrey was satisfied, but he knew that Mr. Fool must be satisfied with this answer, after all, Mr. Fool suddenly wanted to "popularize common sense", in fact, he wanted to get information about advancing to Sequence 7.
Hobert simply stated where the members of the Secret Order were in Backlund, which was exactly the information Mr. Fool needed.
"I am very satisfied," Audrey said with a smile, then she seemed to suddenly think of something and asked to the head of the bronze long table: "Mr. Fool, are you satisfied?"
Klein, who was very satisfied in his heart, said faintly: "Yes."
Mr. Fool's answer made Audrey very happy. She not only got very valuable information about the "adjacent pathway" from Mr. Fool, but also got information about the Secret Order from Mr. Emperor, and she only spent 500 pounds for this information!
If Mr. Fool knew Audrey's inner thoughts of "only 500 pounds", I don't know what he would think?
After the Mysteries transaction ended, Hobert said to Klein: "Honorable Mr. Fool, my next request does not mean to disrespect you."
After all, this is the Tarot Club, Klein's territory, and he should have the proper attitude.
Alas, Hobert sighed in his heart, only those who impersonate evil gods know how difficult it is to impersonate evil gods.
Everyone looked at "Emperor" and guessed what he was going to say in their hearts.
Klein realized that "Emperor" was going to give himself a problem, but the other party's attitude made him not stop "Emperor's" next words.
Hobert continued: "I have just become a 'Briber' and have obtained a key piece of information. The 'Briber' potion can be quickly digested by bribing gods.
"Mr. Fool, if possible, I hope to digest the potion by bribing you."
Klein's first reaction was the same as Hobert's when he first heard this operation, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I didn't expect there to be such an operation.
Alger was first shocked: Bribing gods! That's bribing gods! How dare he say it so easily!
Then Alger regained some rationality, but was still very surprised: What mysterious organization or Beyonder organization would have such blasphemous records of gods?
Finally, Alger suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: The "Emperor's" amazing knowledge reserves made me guess that he was like Mr. Fool, a hidden existence that was awakening. Now it seems that he is just a Sequence 7 who has just been promoted.
But this breath only eased halfway, Alger was still shocked by the blasphemous proposal of bribing gods. At the same time, he also marveled at another thing: "Emperor" described it so surely, obviously he was very sure about this matter, so did the organization to which "Emperor" belonged really bribe gods? And succeeded more than once!
Audrey and Derrick were also very surprised, but their focus of surprise was different.
Audrey was amazed at the novelty of the mysterious world and had a feeling of "sure enough": "Emperor" really mastered many shortcuts to digest potions.
Derrick was surprised by the "Emperor's" Sequence, daring to blaspheme gods so much, but not being abandoned by the gods!
Hobert continued: "Mr. Fool, this does not mean blasphemy, you can see it as a prayer, I offer a sacrifice that satisfies you, and you agree to my prayer, that's all!"
Alger laughed in his heart: Easy to say.
Audrey felt that the "Emperor's" way of changing the concept was a bit familiar.
Only Derrick, who was not deeply involved in the world, did not quite understand the subtlety of Hobert's words.
"This reminds me of some past events," Klein said, hiding behind the gray fog.
He did recall the fragmentary description of "Bribers", and this sentence was paving the way for the next words: "I can grant your request, but you must offer a sacrifice that satisfies me."
