Alger had wanted to ask if "The Emperor's" bribe had been successful for a while, but he was afraid that Mr. Fool would think he was questioning His status, so he never dared to ask.
Since it was successful, that means Mr. Fool is truly a god!
Thinking of this, Alger shook his head and smiled wryly, wasn't this obvious!
Audrey smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Emperor, I didn't expect there to be a channel for quickly digesting potions."
"Yes, I didn't expect the effect to be so good either," Hobert said with a smile.
Derrick was also happy for "The Emperor": "The Emperor" is really amazing, he knows so much.
Klein deliberately made "The World" show a surprised expression to fit the persona of a new member.
Then he used the image of "The Fool" and said: "Currently, I don't need any sacrifices. The sacrifices I need are not something you can come into contact with at your level."
Hobert thought to himself: Hehe, I'll sacrifice a main ingredient of a 'Magician' and see if you want it.
He thought so in his heart, but said with a smile, "Mr. Fool, please forgive my offense. I may be able to collect something that you will be interested in soon. If that thing can impress you, I will sacrifice it to you to complete the bribery process. If not, I will continue to collect things that you might be interested in."
Klein nodded: "Okay."
To be honest, he didn't even know what he wanted. It was just because he was afraid that "The Emperor's" sacrifice would be too low-level, and Mr. "Fool" would treat it as a treasure, so he said that the things he needed were not something the Emperor could come into contact with.
Since "The Emperor" is so confident, he can take a look at what good things "The Emperor" can collect first, and then decide whether to let him sacrifice to himself.
Anyway, the final interpretation right is in the hands of "The Fool".
Audrey smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to it!"
She still remembered that last time when "The Emperor" bribed Mr. Fool, they heard a lot of advanced knowledge, which can be said to have broadened their horizons.
Audrey was looking forward to "The Emperor's" second bribe, so that she, as an Spectator, could gain a lot of new advanced knowledge.
At this time, she recalled the Emperor's very useful magical item: "Mr. Emperor, may I ask where you bought that 'Spectator' pathway magical item? You know, I have been looking for clues about the Psychology Alchemists."
Hobert said, "That was given to me by my elder."
Klein and Alger were very envious. At the same time, they both thought in unison: "The Emperor" really comes from a Beyonder family.
Klein also thought: And it is a Beyonder family with a certain foundation, otherwise, such a high-quality product with such small negative effects could not be given to the younger generation so generously.
Audrey asked again: "May I ask again, does your elder have any more 'Spectator' pathway magical items?"
"You want to buy it?" Hobert smiled and said, "There is no need. Take the 'Psychological Spoon' as an example. You are already Sequence 8 now. After you advance again, you will gain the Beyonder power of 'Hypnosis'. When you advance to Sequence 6, you will have all the abilities of the 'Psychological Spoon'.
"Finding clues about the Psychology Alchemists, you should be able to advance to Sequence 7 soon. At that time, your own Beyonder abilities will highly overlap with the abilities of the 'Psychological Spoon'.
"So, an important principle for purchasing magical items is: to obtain abilities that you do not have now or in the future."
After hearing what Hobert said, Audrey immediately understood this point: "I understand, thank you for your reminder."
Hobert smiled: "But if you need it, you can rent the 'Psychological Spoon' again."
He said: "It is impossible for businesses like renting magical items to appear in other gatherings.
"But the Tarot Club is different. With the witness of Mr. Fool, we don't have to worry about other members defaulting on renting our magical items."
Everyone's eyes lit up. "The Emperor" is indeed very business-minded. However, Klein and Alger smiled helplessly. They didn't have any impressive magical items in their hands.
The gathering entered the final information exchange session. After everyone spoke one by one, Klein ended this Tarot Club meeting.
...
The Berserk Sea, on the Blue Avenger.
Alger returned to the captain's cabin, first recalled the information mentioned by "The Emperor" that could be sold for a high price, and then he sacrificed the 1,400 pounds of cash he gave to "The Emperor" to The Fool.
Then he thought about who to sell this information to? He could contact three Sea Generals, of course, not directly with these three powerhouses, but he knew the people they had arranged on the Rorsted Archipelago to collect information.
He didn't plan to report to the Storm Church for the time being. That way, he could only accumulate certain merits and not get too many benefits.
Because unless the Storm Church is desperately poor, they would rob the ships escorted by commodores of other countries, which is likely to trigger a series of diplomatic events, which would outweigh the gains for the higher-ups.
In the end, he decided to sell this information to "Hell Admiral" Ludwell. First of all, "Hell Admiral" has the ability to plunder the "Golden Ship", and secondly, "Hell Admiral's" liaison officer, Esther, knows that Alger has a background in the Storm Church.
Of course, Esther doesn't know that Alger is a member of the Storm Church, but only thinks he is an outer member of the Storm Church.
Alger deliberately revealed this information to Esther. At that time, Alger wanted to make a deal with Esther. Doing so would prevent Esther from backstabbing him.
For the same reason, this transaction can also prevent Esther from backstabbing him.
But even so, this transaction still has huge risks.
But Alger also thought that even if this information could only be sold for 2,000 pounds, it could greatly alleviate his current financial pressure.
Alger, who was preparing to advance secretly, had a common problem with other wild Beyonders: no money.
After hesitating for more than half a minute, Alger made up his mind: Do it! Even if Esther wants to go back on his word, I have the Sapphire Staff, so it's easy to escape from him.
So Alger removed the sundries on the table and re-planned the route on the sea chart.
...
The Forsaken Land of the Gods, City of Silver.
Derrick returned to his room and stayed for a while: I still owe Mr. Emperor a debt. The main material for my "Prayer of Light" has not yet been settled, and now I have promised Mr. World to help him obtain the real roots and sap of the Mist Tree Man.
Merits are not enough at all!
No, I have to think of other ways, Derrick thought: I heard that helping to make daily necessities in the workshop can also get some merits, I can go there and see!
Derrick felt that he had to take action immediately. He thought: I didn't expect that being in debt could make me so motivated.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Derrick, who was originally planning to rest for an afternoon, tidied up his clothes and went out again.
...
Backlund, 192 Blanca Street.
Hobert obtained a total of 1,800 pounds of debt from Alger and Audrey through the method of obtaining a gift.
In addition to the "Prisoner" Beyonder characteristics that he had just dealt with yesterday, Hobert's total savings are now close to 7,000 pounds!
Hobert deposited another 2,000 pounds in the bank, so he still has close to 200 pounds in cash, as well as income from the Nighthawks and law firms, which is enough for his daily expenses.
Then, according to the previous plan, Hobert went to the Harvest Church to visit Bishop Utravsky.
