"Justice" Audrey didn't greet all the members as usual. She observed the new member's attire, posture, height – well, mainly height – and confirmed that the new member was Miss Fors, not Miss Xio.
She was filled with joy, as this new member was introduced through her!
"The Fool" Klein said, "This is the new member, Miss Magician."
Everyone greeted the new member. Klein then introduced "The Magician" Fors: "This is Miss Justice, that is Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Emperor, Mr. Sun, and Mr. World, who sits at the lower seat."
Fors greeted them politely one by one, while also observing the state of the other members: Miss Justice was dressed in the attire of a Loen noble, she was likely a noble from Backlund.
Mr. Hanged Man looked somewhat rugged, "The Sun" seemed not very old, why did "The World" look so gloomy?
And also, why did Mr. Emperor give people a familiar feeling?
Fors, with her rich experience in Beyonder gatherings, behaved very steadily, not as green as "Little Sun" when he first joined the Tarot Club.
Amidst everyone's mutual observation, Klein announced the official start of the gathering.
Because no member provided Roselle's diary this week, "The Hanged Man" Alger asked after the gathering began: "Mr. Emperor, I am very curious, do you really intend to frequently use that sealed artifact?"
"Not really." Hobert replied: "I have already crushed it into Beyonder characteristics, and I plan to find an 'Artisan' skilled in making magical items to re-manufacture a magical item with less severe negative effects."
This was not something worth concealing.
Klein and Alger behind the gray fog almost simultaneously thought in their hearts: As expected!
Fors instantly lost her composure, her steady mindset turned into an urge to scratch her head: What are they talking about? Why do I seem to understand, but don't understand what they mean?
At this moment, she even doubted the knowledge she had accumulated over the years of attending gatherings.
Audrey asked curiously: "There can be such an operation?"
Hobert smiled: "Yes, remember the laws of Beyonder characteristics we talked about before? This is an application of those laws."
Laws? Fors noticed this word, but: why is the modern word "law" used in mysticism?
Audrey pondered for a moment, and using the "Law of Beyonder characteristics Conservation", she roughly understood the principle of this operation.
Alger interjected: "I heard that at least a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact is required to crush Beyonder characteristics?"
"The Sun" Derrick also echoed: "Perhaps our names are different, I also heard that God-level Sealed Artifacts can do this, and it is said that only some intelligent God-level Sealed Artifacts can do it."
Hobert affirmed: "That's right."
Alger, Derrick, and several others exchanged glances: Alright, alright, now it's clear, "The Emperor" does have the opportunity to use Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts. In terms of such strength, the family behind "The Emperor" should be an extraordinary family with a long history.
Fors weakly raised her hand: "That, the Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts that everyone is talking about, are they the kind of Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts that the Church defines?"
Audrey smiled and said: "Of course, in the extraordinary world, there is only that one standard."
Fors was stunned for a second or two before muttering: "It is said that it is something that can destroy a country!"
Her heart was already like a gale, raining heavily: I heard the concept of Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts at a certain gathering before, and I thought it was a legend or a story, who knew… what kind of gathering did I join? There is actually a member who can use Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts? And why are everyone's reactions so calm?
Audrey asked curiously again: "Compared to this, I want to know more, what was the final transaction price of that Sealed Artifact containing the 'Traveler' Beyonder characteristics?"
Alger glanced at "The Emperor" and, seeing that the other party didn't mean to stop him, said: "9200 pounds."
Audrey exclaimed: "Mr. Emperor, you are really rich."
She had put in some effort to take out 10,000 pounds at once before, and of course she knew how difficult it was to raise this level of funds.
Fors almost slipped under the long table. The transaction amount of those gatherings she had participated in before was at most thousands of pounds.
In fact, transactions of several hundred pounds are usually carried out secretly, otherwise it is easy to be targeted by some malicious Beyonders.
9200 pounds! Thinking of the more than a thousand pounds of savings she was proud of before participating in the gathering, she suddenly felt so pitiful.
And, why? Why are everyone's reactions so calm?
Hobert sighed: "The money I saved during this period has been emptied all at once."
Alger joked: "Maybe we should ask you to give us a lecture on how to earn 10,000 pounds in a month or two!"
Then he said: "Mr. Emperor, I remember you mentioned before that you know why the Berserk Sea is berserk, right?"
Fors even had the urge to bite her nails: What does "why the Berserk Sea is berserk" mean? Isn't it always berserk? What's the point of calling it the Berserk Sea if it's not berserk?
"Yes." Hobert said: "I remember I also said that this information is probably worth 2000 pounds, this price is only available in the Tarot Club, other Beyonder gatherings, I think you can't get such high-end information even if you spend several times the price.
"Another point is that I will only sell such information in the Tarot Club. If I sell such high-level information in the real world, it will definitely bring me a lot of trouble."
Alger nodded: "According to your hint, I have found out some information: At the end of the Fourth Epoch, the Underworld Emperor, who failed to attack the Northern Continent, was seriously injured under the siege of the six gods.
"After He escaped from the battlefield, He stirred up raging waves, creating insurmountable obstacles, blocking His enemies. Since then, the sea between the continents has become unpredictable, turning into the current disaster-prone Berserk Sea.
"I have also learned about some legends of the Southern Continent. The Underworld Emperor seems to have failed to return to the Southern Continent. Is the formation of the Berserk Sea related to His fall?"
"That's right, that's roughly the case." Hobert smiled: "But your guess only depicts the appearance of the Berserk Sea's formation. The internal reason and principle of its formation is a very high-end knowledge, and it is far more complicated than you think.
"What? Do you want to trade information about the formation of the Berserk Sea?"
Alger hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yes, the second target I am looking for is in the unexplored area of the Berserk Sea."
Then he asked: "How can I avoid the bad weather of the Berserk Sea?"
Hobert thought for a while: "As far as I know, there is a way."
Alger subconsciously asked: "What way?"
Hobert smiled: "Only when you understand the principle of the Berserk Sea's formation will you understand the method I am talking about. Of course, you can also just buy the method from me, and I will also provide you with corresponding props. I think 500 is a very suitable price."
Alger finally made up his mind: "I will trade with you for the reason for the formation of the Berserk Sea!"
He felt a little heartache: "Is it 2000 pounds?"
There can be no sloppiness in the preparation work before the exploration.
"I think I can give another discount on this transaction. Keep your money first, it will be useful later." Hobert said: "If one person trades with me, they have to pay 2000 pounds of reward.
"Two people only need 1000 pounds, three people who want to know the answer to this question only need to pay 700 pounds each, if four people want to trade with me, they only need to spend 600 pounds."
Fors opened her mouth, there was such a big discount!
But she quickly understood: No, Mr. Emperor didn't earn a penny less! Instead, he earned more and more!
