The "Little Sun's" list was prepared for Mr. Emperor. He was afraid that some of the materials he paid for would be difficult for Mr. Emperor to convert into cash, so he prepared this list, ready for Mr. Emperor to check at any time.
However, Hobert didn't make such a request, but instead benefited "The Fool" and "The Hanged Man" first.
Hobert sighed: It can't be blamed on Alger for being too cunning, it's just that "Little Sun's" posture is too correct, everyone wants to take advantage of him.
Alger didn't rip off Derrick too much, he chose three materials that were about the same value as the "Sun High Priest's" potion formula, and that he was confident he could sell quickly.
With this transaction concluded, the Tarot Gathering entered its final stage: the exchange of information.
Audrey said: "Another major event has occurred in Backlund: Duke Negan has been assassinated!"
Alger paid more attention. Although he had heard about the assassination from the Church, he didn't know the specific details.
Fors was slightly stunned. She hadn't been in Backlund recently, and didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Derrick still had an impression of Duke Negan. He remembered that it was mentioned at a previous gathering that someone wanted to assassinate the Duke but failed. However, he wasn't very interested in Duke Negan's affairs.
Audrey continued: "The 'Apostle of Desire' used a special setting to complete the assassination of Duke Negan, and broke through with serious injuries at the cost of severe injuries.
"By the time the 'Nighthawks' caught up with him, he was already dead. It is said that the trace of that 'Death Messenger' appeared at the scene again, but the 'Death Messenger' was not there to silence anyone, his target was the organization that commissioned the 'Apostle of Desire'."
Fors couldn't help but sigh for the umpteenth time: The Tarot Gathering commits crimes quite frequently.
Alger was stunned: "Death Messenger"? Is this another action related to Mr. Fool? Which organization is that?
Just as Alger was wondering, "The Fool" Klein took the opportunity to remind him casually: "Don't mention the name of that organization outside, and don't write it down!"
"Why?" Audrey blurted out.
Klein leaned back in his chair and replied in a calm tone: "What is said will surely be known!"
Audrey, Alger, and Derrick all thought of "0-08".
Alger: Could that secret organization be formed by high-level Spectator Beyonders? Is it a powerful organization that I don't know about at all? Is Mr. Fool sending his followers to find them? The high-level situation in this world is indeed more complicated than I imagined.
Audrey: What an extremely secretive and dignified organization! In some ways, it's even more terrifying than the Churches of the Seven Gods, and Mr. Fool, and our Tarot Gathering, are looking for their traces!
Fors: Mr. Fool means that, as long as it's not in His kingdom of God, not talking to Him, mentioning or writing down the name of that organization will be sensed by them using some method or item? How terrible! It's better for me not to know.
Hobert: Unexpectedly, you showed off again, but it's good to tell them, lest Audrey be targeted by the "Twilight Hermit Club."
After a few seconds of silence, Fors said again: "Moon Lake in South Colson is being developed, and it will definitely become a famous scenic spot in the future.
"If you have relevant channels, you can help promote it."
Everyone was stunned. This information seemed a bit abrupt, and everyone didn't quite understand what was going on.
Only Hobert wanted to thank Fors for thinking about promoting his territory at the Tarot Gathering.
Fors cleared her throat with a slightly flushed face and said: "Everyone will know about it in the near future."
Everyone nodded and said nothing more.
Because Klein was attending the gathering in the lavatory, staying any longer would definitely arouse suspicion, so after everyone's exchange came to an end, he announced the end of this Tarot Gathering.
...
Backlund, Earl Hall's villa.
After returning to the real world, Audrey didn't rush to get up. She first quietly sorted out what she needed to do next:
"There's a psychology class tomorrow afternoon. I can tell Miss Islant that the person I met at the Beyonder gathering who was looking to buy the 'Mutated Pituitary Gland of the Faceless Hunter' has agreed to the deal, and she can send the Beyonder material over soon.
"Facilitating this transaction will of course reward me with more Russell diaries, while accumulating the 'Hypnotist' potion formula.
"Well, I have to collect the materials for 'Psychiatrist' as soon as possible. Audrey, you can't be lazy! Susie is already Sequence 8, you can't let it catch up!"
...
Backlund, Cherwood Borough.
Fors paced back and forth in the room, finally made up her mind, pulled out a chair, found stationery and a pen, brewed for nearly a minute, and began to write a letter to Dorian Gray.
Just as she wrote the beginning, Xio happened to come back from outside: "Your letter!"
Fors took it over and saw that it was actually a letter from Dorian! She quickly opened it and browsed through it, gradually revealing a wry smile: "Xio, Teacher Dorian said he's coming to Backlund tomorrow, and he also brought the 'Magician' potion!"
When she communicated with Dorian before, she revealed that Mrs. Anissa had left her Beyonder characteristics to her.
Of course, she didn't say it explicitly, only that Mrs. Anissa had allowed her to inherit some Beyonder abilities.
Dorian was more relieved, at least Fors's character had another layer of guarantee from Anissa.
Fors said: "What should I do? Do I have to take the 'Magician' potion again?"
She still vividly remembered the experience of taking the potion last time. Now that the previous 'Magician' potion hasn't been digested yet, she has to take a new one?
Xio scratched her messy hair and said: "Tell your teacher the truth and ask for his forgiveness."
Fors sighed. If she severed contact with Dorian because of this, it would be too much of a pity: "Well, I, I'll ask Hobert again if there's a better way."
This time she didn't hesitate and immediately took action, using the "Traveler's Door" to come to Jeffrey Town, but Hobert wasn't in the study.
Asking the maid, she learned that Hobert had just gone to the town, so Fors simply went to the town to find Hobert.
In the town near Moon Lake, Fors saw Hobert, who was watching Roy lead people to clean up the two adjacent houses.
Hobert also saw Fors. He pointed to the two houses: "Look, this is a two-story building with a small yard and spacious rooms, which can be converted into a hotel.
"That side doesn't have a yard, the entrance is the living room, you can open up the rooms and turn them into the restaurant's lobby, and the second floor is private rooms."
Fors nodded. Of course, she knew about Hobert's renovation plan.
Before she could say anything about her own affairs, she heard Hobert say again: "I plan to give you all the income from the hotel and restaurant to you."
Fors: "I have... ah?"
