Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 217: Generous "Justice"

Emlyn the Moon forgot to refute for a moment, because he also didn't understand much of the history that the Hermit had told him.

Speaking of which, Emlyn knew more about the history of the Fourth Epoch, and he did know that the "Blood Moon Queen" was once the queen of the Trunsost Empire.

However, he was not clear about the other historical information mentioned by the "hermit".

Then Emlyn wanted to refute it as usual, but the "Hermit"'s words were so logical that he couldn't find a point to refute for a moment.

Klein, the Fool, who sat at the head of the long bronze table, sighed, "The Hermit is the truly learned. Because he knows so much, no matter what problem he faces, he can always come up with a logical and historical explanation."

Alger, the "Hanged Man," was surprised: In the Fourth Epoch, the "Queen" of the Blood Clan was the Empress of the Trunsost Empire?

Although he had heard that the vampires had also participated in the "War of the Four Emperors", he did not expect that they participated through marriage or political cooperation.

Audrey the Justice and Fors the Magician also realized that they seemed to have heard very advanced intelligence.

Because "Moon" was thinking about how to refute, the debate suddenly stopped and the hall fell silent.

After waiting for a few seconds, Alger interrupted the discussion: "I know how the vampires can improve their strength."

Emlyn's attention was immediately diverted. "Um, Mr. Hanged Man, what do you need in return? I can offer you some lost history held by the vampires."

Alger smiled. "No, we are all members of the Tarot Club. This kind of information exchange is free."

Klein thought: It's just that the information exchange is free.

He knew very well that free things are often the most expensive.

"Thank you for your kindness." Emlyn made a preliminary judgment in his heart: What a generous and noble person.

Alger continued, "Vampires can also take potions to advance, but they must be the correct kind."

Emlyn rejected this approach: "But the main ingredients of those potions are from my own people!"

"I think how you look at this issue depends on your purpose and motivation," Alger said with a smile.

Odysseus thought to himself: "Overthrow the political commissar" is about to start the deception mode.

"For example, I have clues about the extraordinary characteristics left by a vampire baron. He died in a sudden conflict and had no time to find a successor." Alger said:
"And you can use the potion to receive this legacy and prevent the loss of the vampire's power."

This item belonged to a great pirate Alger knew. Because there was rarely any demand for this type of Beyonder characteristic on the sea, he was never able to sell it.

"Inherit the legacy in the form of potions to prevent the vampires' power from being lost..." Emlyn repeated the Hanged Man's words, feeling that what the gentleman said made a lot of sense.

So he changed the subject and asked, "What's the price?"

Odysseus nodded slowly: It's so easy to fool!
Alger smiled and said, "Between 4000 and 5000 pounds. I'll have to find the owner of that Beyonder to find out the exact amount."

Emlyn was a little stunned: "5000 pounds?"

He thought to himself: With such a large sum of money, I could bring home a few dolls that I have been eyeing for a long time, and even buy a few sets of clothes for all of them!

The experienced Alger didn't rush him. He smiled casually and said, "I know this is a difficult decision. You can take your time to think about it. There's no need to rush."

"Okay." Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief.

Audrey, who also saw through the Hanged Man's plot, smiled slightly, but she was no longer the girl who had just come into contact with Extraordinary, so of course she would not warn him.

Then Audrey initiated a new deal: "Mr. Hermit, I helped you find the 'Eyes of the Spirit Bird'."

Odysseus didn't expect to get the news so soon: "How much?"

This made him sigh: as the members of the Tarot Club became the "traitors" of various secret organizations... ahem, became members of secret organizations, the channels not only became wider, but also became more advanced.

"2300 pounds," Audrey said, "or trade it for a magical item of similar value.

"If you trade in magical items, there's a discount. As long as the magical items are worth around 2000 pounds, you'll be fine."

She didn't raise the price; this was the price offered by the Psychological Alchemy Society.

Odysseus thought to himself: It's a bit expensive, but fortunately the "Psychological Alchemy Society" still accepts bartering of magical items.

After all, this is an organization that only appeared in the last one or two hundred years, and it lacks the accumulation of sealed objects.

Odysseus was originally very rich, and for some time before, his savings had been hovering around 14,000 pounds.

If he had just wanted to be an adventurer, he would still be very rich now.

But he thought that since he had traveled through time, he must become a captain for once.

Odysseus wanted to rob the ship, but he looked down on the ships of ordinary pirates, and the ships of big pirates were difficult to rob.

He also wanted to build a boat that would be comfortable for him to live in, so he had to build it himself.

Since we have to build it, we can't save money. After all, it concerns lives at sea.

As a result, once the ship was built, we were back to the time before liberation.

He did have a savings of around 1500 pounds, but he could not afford to spend it all. He had already exchanged 200 pounds of it into Filkins, and the only funds he could use were 1312 pounds and 12 soli.

He also owes the "Mysterious Queen" 3000 pounds, but there is no rush to pay it back.

After pondering for a moment, Odysseus said, "I'm willing to pay a magical item comparable to Sequence 7. I hope to complete this transaction."

Alger glanced at the Hermit: This guy is quite wealthy! Previously, I had suspected that the organization behind him was having him use the Tarot Club's channels to sell mystical items, but now it seems the items are his own; otherwise, he wouldn't have traded them for the extraordinary materials he needed without asking permission.

Fors had already forgotten how many times the Hermit had sold magical items. It always made her feel like this gentleman had a lot of magical items, and whenever he was short of money, he would trade one or two.

Audrey asked, "Mr. Hermit, what are the abilities and effects of that item?"

"That magical item is equivalent to the 'Weapon Master' of the 'Warrior' path." Odysseus explained, "It looks like a silver sword.

"The ability is: as long as you use or wear this weapon, you will gain rich experience in combat and weapon handling. For example, even if you have never touched a firearm before, after wearing this magical item, you can be very familiar with any firearm and have the level of a sniper.

"Negative effects: Wearing this weapon for more than 30 minutes cumulatively, regardless of combat or not, will cause body aches and fatigue for the next 24 hours, and your spirituality will also be relatively low."

That was what Odysseus had seized from the fighting arena on King's Avenue, but he had never used it. Now Lelouch's account has been cancelled for a long time, and the official Beyonders are no longer investigating this case, so there is no danger in using this magical item.

The key point is that even if the "Psychological Alchemist Society" knew that this was the sealed artifact that Lelouch had seized in the fighting arena before, they would not be so foolish as to hand it over to the military.

Finally, Odysseus concluded: "The negative effects aren't too great, and the abilities are very practical."

Especially for those below the Hypnotist level, those less adept at combat, those of the Spectator Path Beyonder, who desperately need such magical items. Audrey carefully noted the details and said, "I'll ask the seller if they're willing to trade, and I'll give you a reply by tomorrow at the latest."

"Yeah." Odysseus nodded.

Audrey then asked everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there any news about the fruit of the Elder Tree and the blood of the Mirror Dragon?"

"Yes." Emlyn responded without hesitation.

He had made a fortune purchasing extraordinary materials for a great detective before, so every time the vampires gathered, he was very interested in similar information.

Before Miss Justice could ask further questions, he continued, "The fruit of the Elder Tree costs between 600 and 700 pounds, and the blood of the Mirror Dragon is no more than 100 pounds. I don't remember the exact price."

He gave the seller the original price, then added: "But you have to pay me an extra 100 pounds. You know, I have to take the risk and spend my time."

"Deal!" As soon as the other party finished speaking, Audrey happily chose to accept the price.

Just as she expected, after the New Year, her financial situation suddenly improved. Not only did she gain control over her own property, but she also received a certain amount of dividends every month.

At the same time, she received gifts such as jewelry, horses, famous paintings, etc., with a total value of more than 2 pounds.

As for cash, it wasn't much, only about 5000 pounds, but it was enough for her to complete her promotion and trade for some things she liked.

In addition, Audrey's contributions to the previous events regarding the "Witch Sect" and the "Aurora Society" also led Earl Hall to say that any expenses Audrey had in the field of occultism could be reimbursed.

Emlyn agreed at first, then asked doubtfully, "How do we complete the transaction?"

Audrey explained with a smile, "By offering a sacrifice to Mr. Fool."

Then, after obtaining Mr. Fool’s consent, she gave a more detailed explanation.

Emlyn was stunned. This transaction method was beyond his imagination.

After completing the transaction, Odysseus asked, "Does anyone have any clues about the 'complete crystal of the Alamein Tree'? I also need a flower from the Alamein Tree."

"I have a clue," Emlyn continued. "The crystals are 2200 pounds, the flowers are 300 pounds, and you have to pay me 300 pounds as a reward."

He still resented Odysseus for speaking for the "Sun", so he asked for more fees.

Odysseus smiled helplessly. Another 2800 pounds!
He said, "Give me some time first. I'll gather the funds."

Emlyn was not in a hurry: "No problem."

Odysseus then said, "I'm selling a Beyonder characteristic. It's Sequence 7 'Briber' from the 'Lawyer' pathway. It's 1200 pounds."

This was also the spoils of the crackdown on the 3N Party last year. It has been kept in the "Knowledge Wilderness" for a long time. Now he plans to deal with this "inventory".

Fors opened her mouth and said: Another Beyonder characteristic. When will I be able to accumulate something like this?

Audrey also noticed: Did Mr. Hermit trade it from somewhere else? Or was it his own seizure? If it was his seizure, then it meant he had killed at least one Sequence 7.

Emlyn sighed, "Could this Hermit be the leader of some extraordinary organization?" He'd already sold two Sequence 7 items in a row today.

Alger, who had the necessary connections, said, "I'll keep an eye on it for you."

The extraordinary characteristics of this path are not in high demand, but they are not unpopular either. It takes some time to find a buyer.

Klein sighed after the gray fog: The Tarot Club's function of trading resources and intelligence is becoming more and more perfect.

After everyone's transaction was complete, Alger said to the Hermit, "Mr. Hermit, I would like to trade information about the Wind Angel with you."

"No problem," Odysseus said, "still 800 pounds."

"I want to join the deal," Audrey said, raising her hand slightly. "And I'd also like to trade information about the Cherubim and the White Angel."

Now that she has no shortage of money, Audrey wants to complete the transaction regarding the "King of Angels" in one go.

Alger was stunned. He had originally planned to initiate this transaction and use a few hundred pounds to resolve the doubts in his heart.

Based on previous trading habits, other members will definitely join the transaction, and in the end, he won’t actually spend much money.

But Miss Justice's trade request disrupted his plans.

Audrey was prepared. She said, "I can contribute 1200 pounds on my own."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief. The other members shared the remaining half, and if they divided it up, it wouldn't be much.

Fors first asked, "Can I use the three chapters of 'Spiritual World Observations' to participate in the transaction?"

As the main trader, Audrey nodded: "Okay!"

For Audrey, who has read two chapters, she is eager to read the next chapter.

Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, thought to himself: You've finally decided to trade all the chapters of "Spiritual World Observations" to Justice.

Odysseus asked Derrick beside him, "Do you want to join the deal? I can use the outstanding balance for the extraordinary materials to pay for you."

"Little Sun" immediately said: "Yes!"

That was a transaction involving the "Angel King", an important subordinate of the "Ancient Sun God", so of course he was very interested.

Odysseus nodded and said, "I'll advance you 300 pounds, so we'll be even."

After Little Sun thanked him again, Alger immediately said, "I'll also join the deal by investing 300 pounds."

Audrey readily agreed, "Okay!"

Then she said to Moon, "Mr. Moon, I suggest you also invest 200 pounds to join the transaction. This information is truly astonishing."

She made this suggestion entirely out of concern for the new members and did not want them to be left out at their first gathering.

Emlyn was about to refuse, but then a thought occurred to him: I could listen to his information and then consult with a vampire who knows history to see if his information is true. If not, I'd have a way to refute the Hermit.

So he immediately said, "I'll join in too."

The World continued, "I will use some of mystical knowledge to participate in this transaction."

Audrey immediately agreed, and after agreeing on the price, the transaction officially began.
