Chapter 234: Chapter 153: Tarot Day
Above the gray fog, in the divine palace.
A figure was seated at the end of a long antique bronze table.
Two crimson flashes and a torrent of crimson fire with black spots appear.
As they receded, three figures appeared seated in their respective seats.
"Good afternoon Mr. Fool" Audrey curtsied, she then smiled and said.
"It is unfortunate that there was no wine here, otherwise we could toast your successful attempt."
"You are more powerful than we imagined" Alger praised the same.
Adryan didn't say anything, he just nodded with a small smile in Klein's direction.
The smile that was on Klein's face turned tight.
'Mr. Chariot's gaze is much more terrifying than the monster Ray Bieber...' Klein thought, suppressing a shudder.
A few days ago he had had his first fight in this world and had also seen the terrifying monster that Ray Bieber had become.
Every time his eyes fell on that monster he couldn't help but compare it to Chariot's true appearance.
Ray Bieber looked like a puppy next to Chariot's demonic appearance, and that was him being nice to the monster Bieber.
'High Sequence Beyonders are terrifying...' Klein held back a sigh, he then smiled and said.
"Great, this means that we are on the path to excellence. If you have any issues that leave you unable to attend the meeting on Mondays, perform the ritual and inform me. All you have to do is change the incantation from the line < I pray for a good sleep> for the reason"
"Alright." Audrey quickly agreed, she continued.
"Mister Fool, I have obtained another page from Emperor Roselle's diary. I think I still owe you a page."
"I've been away from land this week so I couldn't get any pages." Alger placed his right hand on his chest and bowed in apology.
"I have another 2 pages Mr. Fool" Adryan said in amusement.
At that, Klein nodded slightly. Internally very happy.
" That's good." He then turned to Alger.
"Don't worry. I expected this request to take a long time."
Klein leaned back in his chair, tapping his armrest with his index finger. He looked at Justice and Chariot and said calmly.
"You can express the content of the diary now"
"As you wish" Audrey and Adryan said, the lady curtsied while the redhead just nodded.
A parchment and pen appeared in front of them.
They both grabbed the pen and remembered the symbols, the patch was filling up.
When the parchment was filled, they both lowered their pens and said.
"It's done."
Klein raised his hand and made the parchments fly to him.
He shifted his gaze downward, reading without emotion.
__July 9__
I suddenly thought of an interesting question...
__July 12__
I've noticed another fact today...
_July 14__
I have seen that mysterious Mr. Zaratul again...
___
While Klein was reading the pages of the Diary with full attention. Audrey looked over there and started looking at him out of habit.
However, her field of vision was blocked by the thick fog.
Momentarily taken back, Audrey snapped back to her senses and turned her head frantically to look at another illusory red star that stood next to her.
'I was too careless, too insolent, too foolish in trying to observe Mr. Fool... I'm lucky he's not angry.' Audrey secretly stuck out her tongue and pretended to admire the scenery.
"he he~"
She thought that her performance had worked and none of the members had realized what she had done, but a soft chuckle was heard.
Her face paled, she turned her head robotically in the direction of laughter and saw that Chariot was looking at her.
'Oh no'
Chariot didn't say anything, he just held up a finger and shook it from left to right, like he was telling a kid not to make any more mess.
No words were spoken, but Audrey's breathing became harsh and upset.
'It wasn't even 4 minutes...'
Klein, who discreetly looked at what had happened, could only lament internally for Justice.
He could only look down and began to read the pages of the diary delivered by Chariot expectantly.
The page that Justice had delivered was rich in information.
He had confirmed several things by reading the page.
Like that Zaratul is the leader of the Secret Order and that the pathway this organization controls is the Seer.
'I hope the pages delivered by Chariot also contain something interesting!'
'If one page was rich in information then two pages had to be superior right...right?' Klein thought not as confident as before.
His answer came when he read the first line of the first page.
**
_January 27_
I found out that this new body is allergic to shrimp...
**
'Why did I get excited?' Klein thought resignedly.
He could only put his disappointment aside and continue to the second page.
'Maybe this one will be different...'
Klein was unable to complete his thought as he read the next page.
**
_June 4_
Not much to say about today just mentioning that Ameliee is still as dominant as ever...
**
If he had been alone, his face would have puckered up as if he had eaten a lemon with salt.
But since he was in a group, he was forced to keep his normal expression.
He wiped the pages from his hand and looked at the trio in front of him.
He smiled.
"Sorry for the wait"
Alger, who had always kept his head and eyes on the lesa of bronze, was the first to speak.
"It is our honor."
Audrey froze a little, after a few seconds she turned to look at Chariot and spoke a little awkwardly.
"Mr. Chariot, I only need one more ingredient to complete our deal, you should receive everything by Wednesday at the latest."
Hearing those words, Adryan couldn't help but be a little surprised by this, he sighed and spoke quietly.
"No problem Miss Justice, when I receive the materials I will give you the formula, but they have to be before next Monday."
Before Audrey could rejoice that she hadn't been hassled for not getting the materials, Adryan continued.
"Honestly I'm surprised, I thought nobles would be able to get this easily but it turns out they're not as capable as I thought." he said unimportant.
Audrey could feel her blood pressure rising, all she could do to respond was nod shakily and speak, barely containing her annoyance.
"Sorry for the inconvenience..."
Adryan said nothing and just nodded calmly, an amused smile on his face.
There was really no need to rush Audrey to get the ingredients as he still had no one to deliver the potion to.
Putting that aside, he turned to look at the Hanged Man.
"Mr. Hanged Man, how's the pirate auction going? Anything new?"
Alger nodded.
"It will be in a few days, on the 5th of August. Through my contacts, I have almost managed to get confirmation that the Sphinx's brain will be there but I need more time."
A sharp smirk grew on the redhead's face.
"It's good to hear that." Adryan nodded satisfied.
"I want to add a few things to my request Mr. Hanged Man, it shouldn't be a problem for someone like you right?"
A blue brow twitched, but calming down, Alger nodded again.
"First of all, Mr. Chariot, we haven't discussed my payment yet."
"Oh, you're right!" Adryan exclaimed in surprise, slamming his fist into his palm in a hammer motion.
Alger's eyebrow twitched more strongly but before he could say anything Adryan spoke.
"Aside from getting me the Sphinx's Brain, I need you to see if the Conspirator formula is in the auction."
"It's obvious that the Sphinx's Brain will sell for a high price, assuming it's there in the auction, it's easy to expect it to fetch a minimum price of 4,000 pounds."
"The Conspirator formula depending on the seller will sell for a minimum of 2,500 pounds."
"Taking all this into account then a payment of 10 percent is fair."
Alger frowned.
"That's too low, Mr. Chariot. It's going to have to go up to 25 percent if we're going to make a deal here."
Adryan chuckled softly.
"You're quite funny Mr. Hanged Man~"
"Although I think there's something you haven't understood but don't worry, I have no problem explaining it to you"
"We're talking 10 percent of at least 6,500 pounds, assuming the Conspirator formula is there of course, that means at least 650 pounds will be paid."
"If this deal still bothers you, we can do this..."
"800 pounds will be the payment you will receive, it doesn't matter if you get the formula or not, but you have to get the Sphinx's Brain no matter what."
"If you agree to this, the payment will be 800 pounds, not a penny more or less. The payment will not increase and will stay that way."
"What do you think of these deals? Which was the one that scratched you where it itched?" the redhead asked amused.
Alger let out light growls that he tried to control.
After a few moments, he spoke, clearly upset.
"If you want a deal it will have to be at least 1.000 pounds, Mr. Chariot. Otherwise, you can forget about it."
"Wow so scary~" Adryan said amused and this annoyed Alger even more.
The air between the two men became tense, Klein and Audrey watching this uncomfortably.
Audrey turned to look at Mr. Fool for help and the corners of Klein's mouth twitched hard.
Before Klein could do anything to defuse the situation, Adryan spoke.
"No offense Mr. Hanged Man but there's something I've noticed about you."
Alger didn't say anything he just looked annoyed at Chariot.
Adryan continued, not caring that Alger had ignored him.
"You're poor."
Alger could feel his control slowly slipping, he was seconds away from jumping on the man.
The only thing that stopped him was Mr. Fool who was looking at all this impassive and immovable.
Actually, Klein was ready to cut Chariot's connection as soon as he made a move that went too far.
Adryan held up his hands to calm Alger down.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hanged Man, I know what it's like to go through that, after all, if there is something universal in all the Churches, it's the shitty salary they pay us."
"One would hope that with all the donations and offerings they receive one would have the highest salary but sadly that is not the case." Saying that, Adryan laughed in amusement as if he had told a rather funny joke.
The anger Alger was feeling vanished completely and he looked at Chariot in astonishment.
That was the same case with Klein and Audrey looking in disbelief at what the man had said.
'This guy just insulted all the churches without mincing any words! Aren't you afraid of being burned at the stake?!' Klein thought dumbfounded.
'Blasphemous!' Alger and Audrey thought the same thing.
Adryan, not caring about the look he was receiving, spoke between laughs.
"I have thought about how to solve that and I have come up with a solution that will satisfy all of us."
He raised his hand and pointed it at Audrey who was taken by surprise.
"And it's all with the help of our noble lady here!"
