Chapter 195: The Rich Woman Scatters Wealth
Six pages of journals, two of which are duplicates of previous journals submitted by others.
This is unavoidable unless members of the Tarot Society actually learn Chinese Simplified, which is impossible.
And three of the remaining four pages have no value, most of them belong to the period when Russell lost his ideals and was obsessed with money, and the whole page is full of sentences such as "what I invented today", "what am I going to invent tomorrow", "how many gold coins have been sold", "how much investment have I got", etc., so that Crane can almost control his expression, and just wants to slap these diaries in Russell's face.
The Great, the Great! How can you be so depraved?
All day long, I only think about money, vulgar! It's so cheesy! Tacky!
Can't you just be a little more self-motivated like me?
After inwardly criticizing Russell the Great, Klein looked at the last page of his diary:
"On November 11th, Singles' Day, I finally convinced the Church of the Eternal Sun to let me enter the world of painting again."
"It's amazing! Every time I enter the world of painting, I am amazed, and if the Church of the Eternal Sun didn't say it, I would even think that this is the Kingdom of the Eternal Sun! Overall, the experience was precious. β
"And I also got a piece of information from Eve, the Church of the Eternal Sun: for the extraordinary people of other churches and other ways, they are just tourists, and entering the world of painting is just a relatively novel experience. And for the believers of the Eternal Sun, this is a miracle! β
"It's a pity that I'm not an extraordinary person in the 'Prayer for Light' path, I am the tourist she said came in for sightseeing. Gan! Why doesn't the Steam Church have its own painting world? β
"It's a pity, it's a pity! I knew that I had chosen the Church of the Eternal Sun in the first place, what kind of Steam Church I chose! Regret not at the beginning, regret not at the beginning! Is it timely for me to apostasy? β
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, Emperor, you are disloyal!
As if anticipating the reader's reaction, the Emperor muttered to himself in his diary:
"Loyalty? Can loyalty be eaten? β
"But in fact, joining the Eternal Sun Church is not a betrayal, after all, the emperor is originally the sun!"
"If it weren't for the fact that changing the path at will would cause it to get out of control, I really want to make a potion of the 'Prayer for Light' path to drink now!"
"It hurts, it hurts! Liberal Scholars Pathway! Dogs don't choose!! β
Based on the reading of the previous diary, Klein could already vaguely see how unruly Russell the Great really was. Therefore, it is not surprising that his attitude in the diary is that the only thing that makes him a little itchy is what is the use of painting the world?
Although the emperor has no discipline, he will not say such things as 'apostasy' casually.
What kind of benefits could make him want to betray the Steam Church?
What does that world of painting mean to the extraordinary of the 'Prayer of Light' path?
Could it be that it is the same as the cave heaven blessed land in Xianxia, which has more 'aura' than the outside world, which can speed up the cultivation speed?
But that's not right, the promotion of the extraordinary depends on the digestion and play of potions. I haven't heard of anyone who can become stronger by 'absorbing' the aura of heaven and earth, after all, there should be no 'martial arts' mentioned in this world.
Even if there is, it will certainly not be comparable to the extraordinary.
In this case, what kind of wonderful use does this kind of 'cave heaven and blessed land' have?
Klein was a little helpless, Russell only spoke half of his words every time in his diary, and most of the things had to be made up by his brain.
Of course, it may also be important to record the next page of the diary on this page, but unfortunately the members of the Tarot Society do not have a complete diary in their hands. Almost every page of the submitted diary is scattered, and it is difficult to have two adjacent pages of the diary at the same time.
Klein retracted his thoughts, let the paper in his hand disappear, and leaned back slightly:
"You can get started."
Alger, the 'hanged man', glanced sideways at Mr. Vampire and spoke first:
"Do you still want the inheritance of that blood baron? Β£4,500, that's the best price I've ever gotten for you. β
In fact, the pirate was willing to get rid of it for 3,200 pounds.
But for newcomers, the 'hanging man' felt that some special attention should be given. Coupled with the fact that Miss 'Justice' no longer needs the fruit of the psychedelic bell tree, he has lost a little income, and he must find a way to make up for it from other places.
Emlin's expression suddenly became a little distorted.
Although the family is a pretty good pharmacist and doctor, with a lot of income every year, and if they live long enough, they should be able to save a lot of money, but since they became obsessed with dolls, Emlyn has been unable to save money anymore, and occasionally takes the initiative to order.
If the value of the dolls was not counted, his savings were less than five hundred pounds. But if you want to sell those dolls......
"I, I'll think about it again."
'Moon,' Emlyn said with difficulty.
Do you want a wife, or do you want to be stronger? It's a tough choice.
"Miss 'Justice'."
The Hanged Man looked at Audrey again and said, "The two magical items you commissioned have already been made, a mask and a ring. β
"The mask uses the Faceling' extraordinary trait, which allows you to realistically change your appearance and master the four extraordinary abilities of manipulating fire, flame jumping, damage transfer, and danger intuition, improving your balance and agility; It has the form of a silver-white mask, a hat, and earrings, and it can change its appearance, you name it. β
"Of course, it also has its own little flaws, when you wear it, your emotions will be amplified, you have to know how to control yourself, otherwise it is easy to go wrong."
"And that ring uses the 'Magician' extraordinary ability, it has almost all the extraordinary abilities of the 'Magician', in addition to the control of fire, flame jumping, damage transfer, and danger intuition, it also has the extraordinary abilities of 'Paper Man Double', 'Bone Softening', and 'Air Bullet'......"
The 'Hanged Man' explained in detail the abilities and side effects of the two magical items, and finally paused before slowly speaking:
"The total cost of crafting these two magical items is Β£1,200."
Audrey nodded lightly and asked:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', counting the 200 pounds in payment, I will give you a total of 1,400 pounds, is that okay?"
"Yes."
The 'Hanged Man' nodded slightly, not having the slightest doubt about Miss 'Justice's credibility.
In fact, since he is an acquaintance, it is possible to get a friendly price from the craftsman. So the craftsman actually only costs 800 pounds to make, which means that he can net 600 pounds from it.
As for the extraordinary characteristics required for the production, they were all provided by the 'world', for which Miss 'Justice' paid a total of Β£6,000.
The magical items made by the extraordinary properties of the 'Facelings' were needed by Audrey herself, and the extraordinary properties of the 'Magician' were prepared for Hibbert. This extraordinary trait was originally intended to be reserved for Hibbert's promotion, but given Hibbert's digestion progress, it would take at least half a year for him to be promoted to Sequence 7 magician.
Instead of staying in the warehouse for half a year, he simply made a magical item and handed it to Hibbert to use. As for the extraordinary traits required for promotion, it is entirely possible to collect them separately within this half year. If you can't, you can ask Ember to help you restore this magical item to its extraordinary properties.
The 'hanged man' went on to speak:
"On top of that, I've already contacted some of the sellers who are willing to sell their extraordinary properties and materials. The total value is about 20,000 pounds......"
Audrey immediately understood and said with a light smile:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', I will pass you 22,000 gold pounds through Mr. 'Fool' after the meeting. But make sure that these extraordinary materials don't premium too much, and I believe that with the vast experience of Mr. 'Hanged Man', you can do that. β
"Okay." The Hanged Man nodded without hesitation and said, "I have a lot of demand, and most of them will give me the best price, and they will generally deal with it according to the lowest price." β
Although he himself likes to pay a premium to make the difference, he does not hesitate to ask for Miss 'Justice'. It's impossible to be premium, it's impossible in this life! He has always only been the premium for others, which round will he get someone else's price?
As for whether he himself will take the opportunity to make the difference in middlemen, he will definitely make the difference in other things, such as the production of magical items. But for a big client like Miss Justice, in order to ensure sustainability, the 'hanging man' is not prepared to pay too much of a premium.
For example, the extraordinary trait of Sequence 8 is only 600 pounds under normal circumstances, and even if he has a premium, it will not exceed 630 pounds. After all, once the premium is too much, so that Miss 'Justice' is dissatisfied, he will no longer hand over this kind of good thing to him, which will cut off his own financial path. In addition to this, it will also give him the impression of 'greed' in the eyes of the other members of the Tarot Society.
Once labeled, he is bound to be isolated by other members. This is undoubtedly unacceptable to the 'Hanged Man', who will not give up his status and future in the Tarot Society for a small profit.
What's more, he said that the materials were worth 20,000 gold lists, but Miss 'Justice' said that she would give 22,000 pounds, and that 2,000 pounds was undoubtedly his reward. This is not the same as the original 5%, which is 10% of the total value!
Obviously, Miss Justice is taking the initiative to increase her pay. This is very much in line with the character of Miss 'Justice' - not bad for money. Last time, I only gave 5% of the reward, probably because the other party's behavior was not allowed and promised by the family, and I didn't dare to give too high a reward.
This time, he took the initiative to raise the price, obviously with the full support of the family, and there is no need to worry about money.
"Miss 'Justice'."
With the demonstration of the 'Hanged Man', Firth also spoke, "I have a batch of low-sequence extraordinary materials and extraordinary properties of the 'apprentice' path, with a total value of around ten thousand pounds. β
'Justice' also quickly replied:
"I'll pass you eleven thousand pounds through Mr. Fool, can I?"
"Yes." Foirth nodded slightly, leaving no opinion on this.
The little 'sun' also said sincerely:
"Miss Justice, I've compiled a list of monsters in the area around Silver City, you can see if there's anything you need."
What a real child...... Almost all the members of the Tarot Society came up with such an idea at the same time.
Having been a member of Tarot for so long, Audrey feels like she has grown a lot. Only Mr. 'Sun' is still naΓ―ve, knowing that this list itself is worth a lot, so he just gave it away. What's more, the Silver City area where the 'Sun' is located is in the Godforsaken Land, so there is no need for these gold pounds!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Crane manipulated the 'world' and said hoarsely:
"Mr. 'Lover', have you gained anything from the underground ruins I entrusted you to explore?"
"Underground ruins?"
The eyes of the other members of the Tarot Society were instantly attracted, and they were all extremely curious.
The underground ruins that can be explored by the 'lover' themselves must be very important, and I wonder what kind of secrets are hidden in them?
Ember shook his head and said:
"When I arrived at the underground ruins last night, the evil spirit you mentioned was already out of trouble, and someone was secretly helping him."
"Last night?"
Audrey blinked, wasn't Ember with her last night? They were obviously enjoying a dinner together in their luxury villa, did they use the teleportation halfway? Hmm~,It's really convenient to have a teleportation~!
"Sure enough."
Klein frowned slightly, but he wasn't too surprised by what had happened.
Someone had interfered with his memories of the underground ruins, and he must have wanted to do something about it. Even if he had reacted in time, the other party had obviously accomplished his goal, and the escape of the evil spirit might be just the beginning.
Klein put away his thoughts, manipulated the 'world' and said in a deep voice:
"I also had some trouble last night in Bansey."
"The ancient customs of Bansey Harbor have been revived, some of the inhabitants have become cultists, and even the bishop of the Storm Church has fallen. The vicarnators, priests, and servants of the Church of the Storm in the local church were skinned by the Bishop, who, in some evil ritual, turned their bodies and heads into necromantic monsters, and their skins were sewn into a human skin robe, and the Bishop appeared to be a member of the 'Skin-Messengers'. β
"And the bishop himself has also benefited greatly from this ceremony, obviously he only has the rank of Sequence 6, but his strength is comparable to that of Sequence 5."
"Although the matter has been resolved, it has caused a lot of casualties. Mr. Lover', do you have any clue? β
"Mr. World in Bansey? The evil ritual of skinning? β
Audrey shuddered, the word 'skinning' just sounded a little uncomfortable for her, not to mention that it was a cult ritual? And this Divine Skin Messenger is undoubtedly the evil organization that caused the depravity of the bishop, and it makes people feel uncomfortable just by sounding it......
