Seeing the mysterious Mr. Fool and the Emperor with his amazing knowledge reserves, Alger finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled slightly, knowing that no matter what dangers he encountered at sea, the Tarot Club was his greatest support.
"Justice" Audrey noticed the expression of "Hanged Man" Alger, but she chose to greet everyone first, and then asked, "Mr. Hanged Man, you seem to have encountered some major changes?"
"Indeed, but now is not the time to talk about this," Alger said with a slight smile. "I will submit this week's six pages of diary first."
After the diary materialized, Alger complimented, "Mr. Fool, I also inquired about a piece of information regarding the Secret Order."
On the vast oceans, news is not blocked, just not timely. Those great pirates also value intelligence.
"Very good," "The Fool" Klein nodded slightly, signaling "Hanged Man" to tell the story.
Alger said, "Many pirates claim that they have killed members of the Secret Order. Without exception, those members are all Sequence 6. They are preparing to hire pirate ships to go deep into the Sonia Sea, and some are also inquiring about the whereabouts of mermaids."
Speaking of this, Alger glanced at "The Emperor": "According to Mr. Emperor's description last week, it can be speculated that mermaids are an indispensable part of the Secret Order's promotion ceremony, and there should be mermaids deep in the Sonia Sea."
For Klein, this was very important information. He had also heard that a ritual was required when Sequence 6 was promoted to Sequence 5.
And Alger provided two important pieces of information: mermaids and the Sonia Sea.
"Very good, you have also paid off your debts," Klein said in a supreme voice.
"Thank you for your generosity." Alger certainly knew that his information was far less comprehensive than "The Emperor's" knowledge.
This time, Klein did not rush to read the diary, but tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his fingers: "I am going to issue a mission."
Here it comes, Hobert thought to himself, the "5 pounds to assassinate the ambassador" plot is here. Ian, who commissioned Sherlock Holmes to investigate his employer, probably never dreamed that his 5 pounds commission fee would lead to the death of an ambassador.
This is a genuine "famous scene".
Mission? Audrey's ears twitched, her eyes widened, both surprised, expectant, and uneasy.
She clearly remembered that this was the first time Mr. Fool had officially issued a mission!
At the same time, she keenly noticed that "Hanged Man" seemed to have not changed, but was actually unusually nervous.
Even "The Emperor", who had always maintained his composure, seemed a little excited. Hey? That's not right, why are "The Emperor's" body movements and expressions so much like the reaction when watching an exciting part of a drama or opera?
Because of the limited time, Audrey did not delve into this issue, she looked at "The Sun" again, the entire gathering only "The Sun" was ignorant, treating this as a very normal thing.
"You can choose to accept it or not," Klein said in a relaxed tone. "My other Blessed has arrived in Backlund. He wants to complete something, but it is inconvenient for him to come forward."
Another Blessed? Alger nodded as if in contemplation, not at all surprised by this.
In his eyes, it was a default fact that a powerful being like Mr. Fool possessed multiple Blessed.
Audrey felt a little guilty. She still felt that she owed Mr. Fool's Blessed a generous reward. After all, she had received the rewards from three countries for Qilangos, totaling about 30,000 pounds. In theory, she should at least give half to Mr. Fool's Blessed.
Hobert complained in his heart: What the hell is "another Blessed"? Is that Blessed named Sherlock Moriarty? And this Blessed looks very similar to your other Blessed Klein Moretti. It is very likely that the two are twins, yes, long-lost twin brothers.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Klein issued the mission: "The thing he wants to accomplish is to assassinate the Intis Republic's ambassador to the Loen Kingdom, Bakerland Jean Madan."
"Assassinate the Intis Republic's ambassador?" Audrey couldn't control her expression and asked in astonishment.
This is an act that will cause disputes between the two countries, and even spark war! As a noble lady, she first thought of international relations.
As for the question of why Mr. Fool did not do it himself, she felt it was a matter of course: How can there be a big shot who always helps his subordinates?
Alger was only slightly surprised by this mission, his focus was on another part: Mr. Fool is still unable to deeply interfere with the real world! My guess is correct.
Derrick, "The Sun", listened with a blank look: What is the Intis Republic? What is an ambassador? This pieced-together giant language is very strange!
Hobert suddenly diverged his thinking: "With my current strength, if I fight one-on-one, I am quite confident to complete this commission. After all, the ambassador is not a military attache, and most of his energy will be focused on diplomacy and politics, and he will not have much combat experience.
But there will be no such opportunity. After all, that is an ambassador. There are extraordinary people around him to protect him. To assassinate him, you first need to break into or sneak into the embassy. Some Sequence 6s with strange abilities or powerful sealed artifacts can do this. If it is Sequence 5, then there will be absolute certainty."
Klein looked around, maintaining his relaxed attitude just now: "Who of you is willing to accept this mission? What reward do you want to get?"
Audrey, who wanted to raise her hand, hesitated: I can't convince myself to kill an innocent person for no reason.
Hobert smiled and said, "I think this ambassador will also be the intelligence chief of the Intis Republic at the same time."
He spread his hands: "I have not been in contact with him, and I don't know the specific situation, but I know that the ambassador of the Feynapotter Kingdom once supported a cult organization in South Wales County of the Loen Kingdom.
"These cult organizations are inhumane, and even require believers to sacrifice babies! However, the Feynapotter ambassador has been providing them with funds. After the organization was dissolved, he also sheltered many cadres who fled to the Southern Continent and the Feynapotter Kingdom."
Audrey was slightly stunned. She did not expect that Ambassador Tim, who looked gentle and had a very soft voice, would have such a side: "Mr. Emperor, why are you so clear about this?"
"Because I had the honor to participate in the operation to encircle and kill these cult cadres. If we had not encircled and killed two of the cadres that night, they would have been sent to the Southern Continent by the Feynapotter ambassador."
Hobert dared to say this because if anyone wanted to investigate, they would only find the mercenary team that broke through the headquarters of the cult organization.
As for the fact that Hobert and Xio and others encircled and killed the two cult cadres and that they were to be arranged to go to the Southern Continent, Hobert did not tell anyone.
So even if he revealed so much information, he would not worry about others finding out about him.
Audrey said: "I salute you, Mr. Emperor, your actions are the best interpretation of justice."
