At the head of the long table, Klein manipulated Mr. World to give a cold response, while thinking, 'Mr. Chariot is really good at socializing. What could his true identity be?'
Alger, on the same side as Lex, became vigilant.
'Mr. Chariot is showing goodwill towards Mr. World. Is he trying to win over Mr. World to his side?'
In the previous Tarot Club meetings, he had already gained Miss Justice's favor. If he added Mr. World, his influence in the Tarot Club would become increasingly significant.
'Is it still not too late for me to make amends?'
Alger was conflicted about whether to 'win over' Mr. World.
At this moment, Klein had already looked at Justice and said, "The two candidates you proposed are still under investigation."
"I'll give you a simple task. You can entrust it to them in your name. This is part of the investigation."
Hearing this, Lex looked towards Audrey, of course only seeing a blurry light and shadow, but this did not prevent him from wondering who the two people Miss Justice proposed could be.
He remembered that Watcher had said that Miss Fors would also join the Tarot Club later. Miss Fors lived in Backlund, the same city as Miss Justice. He wondered if these two Young Misses knew each other.
"Okay, please assign the task."
On the other side, Audrey was not disappointed that Mr. Fool had assigned a task; instead, she replied with a hint of joy.
Then Klein placed his hand on the table and materialized a drawing depicting Lanerwus's appearance and attire. He made this portrait flash before Miss Justice.
"Investigate information about the person in the drawing. He is in Backlund."
"I will entrust it to them."
After Audrey agreed, Mr. World, sitting at the end of the long table, looked around and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Fool told me that I can assign tasks and collect materials here, is that right?"
Lex observed Mr. World, pondering how Klein managed it. This alt account was just like a Marionette, as if invisible strings were in Klein's hands, allowing him to speak as he wished.
However, Mr. World had no physical movements. Could it be that Klein could only control him to speak for now?
Audrey, on the other side, began to show her initiative, telling Mr. World that he needed to wait because it was now Mr. Fool's reading time.
At this moment, Hanged Man, who had remained silent, received Klein's gaze and quickly bowed humbly.
In this movement, Lex felt that Hanged Man seemed to show a trace of fear.
'What is he afraid of?'
'It's not his first time attending the Tarot Club.'
After bowing, Alger materialized six pages of a diary, watching them vanish and reappear in Fool's hand.
Klein looked down, scanning the content of the first page:
"February 9th, I had my third child. I named him Bernova."
After a period of silence, Klein, who had finally finished reading the diary, tapped the edge of the bronze long table and looked to the side.
"Miss Justice, you did very well. You dealt with Bakerland in less than a week."
"As agreed, what kind of reward do you wish to receive?"
Lex was stunned.
'Bakerland was dealt with by Miss Justice? No, Miss Justice herself doesn't have that kind of strength.'
"And."
'Didn't the Aurora Order claim responsibility for this matter?'
'Could it be that Miss Justice entrusted the Aurora Order? How did she get to know those lunatics? This is too dangerous, I need to warn her.'
'Bakerland is dead? That fast?'
'Hanged Man' Alger's face was full of astonishment. Although no one could see his expression due to the gray fog, Audrey, as an 'Spectator', still read the gentleman's surprise, and she felt quite pleased for a moment.
"No, I should still owe you, no, owe your Dependents a reward."
"The bounty for 'Hurricane Admiral' Qilangos is a total of 30,000 pounds. I should give your Dependents 15,000 pounds. Of that, the assassination of Bakerland cost 10,000 pounds, and I still need to pay an additional 5,000 pounds. However, due to the matter of Bakerland, my financial situation has not been too good recently. This reward will need to wait a few months, Mr. Fool, is that acceptable?"
Hearing that Qilangos's bounty was actually 30,000 pounds, Lex felt his breathing suddenly become much heavier.
Qilangos was 'Hurricane Admiral'. Just an Admiral alone was worth 30,000 pounds. The Sea was simply full of gold coins.
"Of course."
To get these bounties, one also needed extraordinary strength. Admirals were not that easy to hunt. If they were easy to deal with, they would have long turned into pounds and gone into some people's pockets.
While Lex was delighted, he also secretly warned himself.
At this moment, seeing that the conversation between Mr. Fool and Miss Justice had come to an end, Lex lightly coughed: "Miss Justice, can I speak with you privately?"
Audrey was stunned, and immediately looked at Mr. Fool: "This requires Mr. Fool's permission."
Klein said indifferently: "No problem."
Then he blocked out everyone else, though Klein himself could still hear.
"It's fine now."
Lex respectfully nodded to Mr. Fool at the head of the long table before saying to Miss Justice: "I saw in the newspaper that Bakerland died from an assassination by the Aurora Order."
Audrey nodded: "Yes."
"Did you commission the Aurora Order?"
"No, the situation is more complicated, but I did not directly commission the Aurora Order." Audrey asked curiously, "Mr. Chariot, why do you bring this up?"
Lex said seriously: "Because the Aurora Order is very dangerous. They believe that all things have divinity, and that life is just a spiritual journey. They are all unfathomable madmen, or hidden madmen."
"I'm worried that you're getting too close to them, worried that you'll get hurt because of it. So I feel it's necessary to warn you, but you haven't directly contacted them, which is good. But even through indirect means, my advice is, it's best to have less contact."
'So Mr. Chariot is concerned about my safety.'
'I already know that Mr. A is a member of the Aurora Order. The strength and executive ability displayed by the Aurora Order had already made me wary, and I also planned not to attend Mr. A's gatherings within the next month or two.'
"Now it seems."
'The things the Aurora Order believes in are very crazy. They actually believe that all things have divinity, which is simply too blasphemous to the gods!'
'Hmm, when I go back, I need to remind Fors and Xio not to attend Mr. A's gatherings anymore.'
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Chariot, I will remember it." Audrey responded sincerely, feeling a little touched that Mr. Chariot was really meticulous and kind. 'If we knew each other in reality, we would probably become good friends, right?'
"Are you done?"
At this moment, Lex heard Mr. Fool's question.
"Yes, Mr. Fool." Lex replied respectfully.
After lifting the shield, Klein said in a steady voice: "Next, you can communicate freely."
He then busily manipulated his alt account, making Mr. World lightly cough and say, "Can I speak now?"
"I hope to obtain the misty treant's true roots, at least 60 milliliters of the corresponding juice, as well as the medullary crystal of the Elf Spring, and all the spinal fluid of the Evil-Patterned Black Panther."
"Who among you can provide these, or have relevant clues?"
"What do you wish me to exchange for them?"
Lex was stunned, and looked at Mr. World, saying: "Mr. World is already going to advance to 'Magician'?"
Klein, at the head of the long table, almost wanted to stand up and ask: "How did you know! I even mixed in extraordinary materials from the Apothecary pathway!"
