Chapter 526: Bernadette's Question to the Fool
Soon Hobert chose five formal suits, and when he signed the bill, Hobert's hands trembled, and five clothes were just needed, and it cost 360 pounds!
It was the equivalent of 72 pounds a set, and Hobart remembered that most of the middle class wore a formal suit of only seven or eight pounds, which also included walking sticks, shirts and leather boots, which was enough to buy ten sets!
If Audrey hadn't been there, Hobart would have asked: Is gold made? Is it ripe?
And then Hobert said to Audrey: "I know you don't lack clothes, but you have helped me so much today, let me help you pick a dress, to show my gratitude." ”
Hobert finally chose a blue dress, and Audrey went to the fitting room to change into it, and sure enough, she looked much more solemn and mature.
And when Hobert signed the bill, he thought he was wrong, but when he looked seriously, it was really 160 pounds!
This made him sigh in his heart: In terms of clothes, it is really a woman's money that is easy to make.
Then Audrey took Hobert to buy leather shoes and a top hat, and signed a bill of nearly 900 pounds in the morning, which made Hobart feel a little cramp in his hands.
In fact, in general, things like buying clothes are the housekeeper's worries, but Audrey is still young, and it is difficult to resist the temptation to go shopping.
So when she has time, she will come to these stores to have a look, or ask the clerk to bring the new products to the Earl's Court to display.
As for lunch, of course, go to the Kingdom of Rune Hotel, which was the first choice for the aristocracy.
Seeing this high-sounding hotel, Hobert was impressed, and he still remembers the first time he came to this hotel.
Audrey, as a "spectator," noticed a change in Hobert's mood: "What's wrong? ”
"Nothing." Hobart smiled, "It reminds me of an old story. Well, let's go inside. ”
The two people who got out of the carriage chatted and entered the lobby of the hotel.
They immediately became the focus of attention in the hall, the beautiful and noble Audrey was a rare guest here, and the one standing next to Audrey came to dine without wearing formal clothes, it was too rude, how could the waiter let him in?
That's right, Hobert changed back into his trench coat.
As for why the waiter let them in, it was because when he entered the door, Hobert saw that the waiter wanted to stop him, so he simply distorted the other party's intentions.
So all that left the waiter's mouth was: "Please come in!" ”
Audrey rarely comes to the hotel, and she doesn't know that she has to wear formal clothes to dine here, although she noticed that the waiter's behavior was a little strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
When you come to a dining room for the aristocracy, it is not the structure of a private room as Hobert imagined, but a luxurious table with large spacers, and a special waiter in front of each table.
Most of the people who dined here knew Audrey and came up to say hello.
As for Hobert, just a few polite words.
After a long time of politeness, the two sat down.
After starting to serve the food, Audrey whispered, "They just don't know you very well, so they don't seem very enthusiastic, you don't need to be upset about it." ”
She noticed that Hobert's mood was different from before, and thought that these nobles did not pay attention to his relationship.
"I never care too much about what people think of me." Hobart smiled, "It's just that I've been reminiscing about one thing since just now. ”
He glanced at Audrey's curious gaze, "Well, when I was a lawyer, I was invited to dine here.
"You remember the case I was asked for, right? Well, Gusta, the president of the Beckland Chamber of Commerce, invited me to dinner here, hoping to scare my little lawyer with the grandeur of the place. ”
Hobart gave a general account of what had happened.
Audrey said with some anger: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" ”
Then she asked, "Are you going to teach the president of the Chamber of Commerce a lesson?" ”
Now that Hobart is an earl, it is easy to teach the president of the Chamber of Commerce a lesson! However, Audrey was still prepared to remind Hobert to find a better reason, otherwise it would be easy to say that he did not have the bearing of an earl.
"There's no need, in the blink of an eye, the difference in our identities has been reversed, and if I still regard him as an opponent, I am exalting him." Hobert took a sip of the appetizer soup and said:
"I just thought that identity is actually a kind of mutual recognition between people, for example, if others think I am a count, then I am a count, but if people think I am a trainee lawyer, then I am a trainee lawyer.
"This recognition is actually an interaction, for a trainee lawyer, the president of the chamber of commerce is a businessman who can do whatever he wants, and for an earl, he is just a businessman.
"There is a subjective side to the process, and there is also an objective side, in fact, the person is still the same person, but the perception of the other party has changed."
Audrey smiled, "Sounds like a philosophy teacher lecturing." ”
She could see that Hobert was only halfway through what he had said, and that the other half seemed inappropriate to say here.
Hobert took a sip of wine and took the topic in another direction: "Actually, the gap in identity is ridiculous, because at any time, such a gap can be reversed.
"But we have to respect such a gap, because this is the rule of this society, and before we have the ability to break this rule, all voices that oppose such rules are only complaints."
Audrey took a shallow taste of the side dish: "Do you plan to break such a rule when you have the opportunity in the future?" ”
Hobert shook his head: "I don't like to be a reformer, it's too tiring, and it's dangerous. ”
He then smiled and said, "I just suddenly thought of the essence of identity, I think it's very interesting, and I feel a little emotional." ”
He really doesn't like reforms, he just does revolution if he wants to, and completely overthrows the rule of a kingdom!
The two men did not continue the conversation, but chatted about the approaching social season.
After lunch, the two of them set out on their way home in a horse-drawn carriage.
There were only two of them in the carriage, and Audrey asked, "When you talked about the topic of identity just now, because you were in a public restaurant, you still seemed to have important points that you hadn't expressed?" ”
Hobert smiled and thought about it for a moment before saying, "That's right, I thought of the essence of the acting method based on those ideas just now!" ”
He wasn't thinking about recalling what he had just thought, but about whether he should tell Audrey about his other thoughts. But on second thought, it seems that there is nothing to keep secret, and it is normal to tell your friends some of your thoughts.
Audrey was immediately interested: "I knew that you must have a more intelligent opinion." ”
"Gao Ming can't talk about it, it's just a good idea that came out of nowhere." Hobert took the mineral water Audrey had taken from the wine cabinet, uncorked it and took a sip.
The aristocracy began to prepare bottled mineral water in horse-drawn carriages from very early on, which is authentic mountain spring water, slightly sweet.
It's not that sugar is added, but that the water itself is slightly sweet.
Filled in crystal-like glass bottles, the mineral water looks like a beautiful work of art.
Hobert regaged the mouth of the bottle with a delicate cork and continued: "It occurred to me that the role of the 'lawyer' path needs the approval of other people.
"For example, if other people think I'm a count, then my role is successful, and if I play like a baron, then my role is a failure.
So the essence of playing is actually the interaction between one's own spirituality and the spirituality of others! Maybe this kind of interaction is the driving force for digesting the potion. ”
Audrey praised, "What a view! This is equivalent to explaining the theory of acting! ”
"But this theory seems to work well in some ways, such as 'lawyer' or 'arbitrator,'" Hobert smiles, "and it doesn't work in all ways."
"For example, in your 'audience' pathway, you just need to feel that you are a qualified audience, and you don't need to get feedback from others."
Hobert said in a joking tone: "The point is that it is difficult for other people's feedback to reach you, could it be that Glerint will praise you when he meets you: Audrey, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are more like a spectator." ”
Audrey covered her mouth and smiled gracefully, "Sounds like something Glerint can say." ”
She paused before speaking; "Maybe the potions of each path have different requirements for the extraordinary, so the way we play them is also different.
"Well, I remember you said before that the potion of the 'lawyer' path has a name like 'mentor', so the 'lawyer' path may be to publicize it and gain the recognition of more people, so as to complete the role as quickly as possible."
Hobert nodded: "I have similar thoughts. ”
When you play as a baron, you can digest potions in the same way that you can set up your own company or manage an industry.
However, by observing Elliott's digestion of potions, Hobert compared it to his own potion digestion rate, his own digestion speed was much faster.
Hobert thinks that this should be the reason why he has a territory, and everyone agrees that he is a lord.
The carriage first reached the Earl Hall's mansion, and after saying goodbye to Audrey, Hobert disembarked from the carriage and boarded his own carriage behind.
Hobart continued his train of thought: Baron and Earl are actually just titles, and it does not mean that they must be obtained.
He recalls that when he played the role of "The Corrupt Baron", he realized that his rule over the people was crucial, or that he needed feedback from the people.
At that time, Hobart realized that in the "Black Emperor" initiation ceremony, there was a requirement that "it is common sense that the people think that the promoted person is the emperor", which is enough to show that it is important to get feedback from the people in this way.
Even if you don't use the baron and the earl to distinguish the sequence relationship between the two potions, then you can also use the minor lord and the big lord to distinguish it.
According to this line of thought, one can think about the senses that the earl or the great lord gives people.
Hobart recalled that the ancient earls were almost the great princes of the ruling party, and the modern counts are also the core force in the political arena.
So as an earl, in addition to the feedback from the people at the bottom, do you need feedback from other nobles? And some viscounts and barons were convinced or surrendered to a certain extent?
It occurred to Herbert that perhaps it was not necessarily the viscount and baron, but that the convincing of his subordinates and key officials should also make it possible for the potion to be digested.
Then the new question arises, it is not difficult to get others to identify with his status as an earl, how can people associate the depravity with him?
Hobart thought of his previous thoughts on the "Corrupt Baron", and he believed that "Fallen" and "Count" should be a subjective description and an objective description.
He believes that it is not necessarily that he himself is depraved, but that he can also actively make others degenerate, and I subjectively feel that he has become depraved under my influence. The digestion of the "audience" approach is basically this subjective digestion. "Earl" is the opposite, it is to make everyone think that I am an earl, so that I can get good feedback.
Another key point is, how do you define "degenerate"? According to this skill, the Fall seems to represent making the target's morality negative and evil! But morality is artificially determined, and different people have different views on the same thing.
For example, if a believer in the goddess of the night becomes a believer in the god of war, in the eyes of the church of the goddess of the night and the believers, is this a kind of depravity? But in the eyes of the God of War Church, this is a manifestation of abandoning darkness and turning to light.
So according to the "lawyer" approach to find loopholes in the rules, the characteristics of not following the rules are not necessarily not only moral turpitude is depravity, but also doing things that people can understand but cannot accept, which is also degenerate?
For example, when attending a noble banquet, two people wore the same formal dress in public, and because they were strong enough, everyone would not think that this was a problem with Earl Hobert's finances! I can only look very unhappy, or very angry, but I don't dare to say anything.
Hobert felt that he didn't know if he would digest the potion if he did this, but he knew that it would be cool!
Also, be careful, you have to distinguish it from madness and paranoia!
Hobert pinched his chin, but he could try to do this kind of play to see if it worked.
At this time, Hobert also returned to his Earl's Court, and Dophis handed Hobart a document: "This was sent by Count Vincent's youngest son last night. ”
Hobart took the papers and nodded, and as he walked to his study, he asked, "Have you hired a tailor for me?" ”
"The first thing to ask for is the tailor." Dophes said, "He's already made three formal outfits for you." ”
Hobert was stunned: "Why didn't he come to me to measure it." ”
"The size is what I told him, and I guarantee that the score is exactly right." Dophis has such an eye.
Hobert scratched his head: Are you sure the tailor didn't make a shroud?
Coming to the study, Hobert opened the material and found that this material is really detailed, mainly divided into three parts, the first is geography, the second is resources, and the third is humanities.
There is such detailed information, mainly for the convenience of plundering.
First of all, geography is not to mention, which way to plunder is of course crucial, which can save a lot of time.
As for the details of the resources, it is to illustrate the plundering value of this small island.
As for the humanistic record, it is simply to distinguish where the population is prone to plunder, and where the population needs to be well-armed to plunder.
Hobart smiled and didn't continue to think about the question, but went to read the information carefully.
There are two high mountains on Changwei Island, both of which are more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and the mountains that are linked to these two high peaks form an east-west mountain range.
This mountain range is biased towards the eastern part of the island, so the whole island is high in the east and low in the west.
In the west there is a vast plain, with ports and colonial cities built on the island, where there are many estates and many towns founded by colonists.
There was little development in the mountains and in the east, and only a small port was built in the east.
There is a section of railway on the island, which is no more than a few kilometers long, and it is mainly used to transport mineral resources from the mountains.
As for the island's resources, early settlers found iron and copper here, as well as rubber trees and high-quality timber.
Basically, these minerals can be sold for tens of thousands of pounds a year, and the final income of the Governor's Palace is 50,000 pounds.
As for the humanities, there are a large number of indigenous people on this island, although no specific statistics have been made, but some people have estimated that there are at least 600,000!
And the people of the Northern Continent who colonized this island are only 10,000 or 20,000.
Hobert pinched his chin and pondered how to rule the island.
There is an advantage to ruling such an island, and he is isolated from abroad, and his radical policies will at best cause a joke, and will not arouse the alarm of the ruler.
After all, those policies were basically aimed at the natives of the island, and the colonists could have chosen to leave there and avoid Hobert's policies.
Hobert smiled, the first step was indeed to clean up the colonists, as well as the manor owners.
Scrolling back, the following information is about some strange things that happened on the island, and even clearly marked on it, one of which is more than 1,000 meters above sea level, Mount Megli is a forbidden area, where the local aborigines are said to worship an ancient deity.
Hobert's first reaction was: a wild god like Cavitua?
As he continued to look down, there had been a strange incident reported in the military camp on Long Tail Island, where a native suddenly claimed to be a king ordained by the gods, and made himself a crown made of wood.
Strangely enough, the natives agreed with this, and what was even more strange was that many of the Rune soldiers who were loyal to George III also believed that person was the king, and thus served each other.
This was a large-scale uprising on Longtail Island ten years ago, and it was finally necessary to mobilize Baiam's navy to extinguish the uprising.
During the battle, the navy warriors killed the native king, and the natives seemed to lose their courage at the same time and immediately surrendered.
According to the Rune soldiers who had joined the natives, it was as if they were under the control of an unknown force and had no idea what they were doing.
Because this is the archives of the Ministry of Land and Resources, the similar account is very brief, just to remind the king that any crown that appears on Longtail Island must be destroyed immediately!
The information also includes a description of a missionary who visited a very peculiar village during his missionary work.
The village is full of natives, and strangely enough, the status of adult males here is not high, but the status of children here is the most noble, and their village chief is a seven-year-old child.
According to the missionaries, the child was not very intelligent, just an ordinary child, moody and very playful.
But the whole village, including the able-bodied adults, was very submissive to the child, and did not farm or hunt every day, and his only task was to play with the village chief.
Later, the missionaries heard that the indigenous village had been burned down because their village chief had not controlled the fire while he was playing with fire.
Behind this story is another warning: don't enter strange-looking indigenous villages.
At this time, Hobert realized that these strange things were for the extraordinary people who had consulted the Land and Resources Bureau, and the emphasis was on the taboo on Longwei Island.
Ordinary people also read stories as stories.
Hobert became more and more interested in the so-called gods that people believed in on Long Tail Island, and these eight or nine percent were wild gods who were not in good shape.
When Hobert prepares to go to Longtail Island to learn about the situation, he will learn about the gods of the natives from the side.
At the same time, he plans to ask Alger and Gadelia about any information about Longtail Island when the tarot meeting tomorrow is there.
Flipping back and seeing no more valuable information, Hobert put the information in a drawer and wrote a thank-you note for Dophes to send to Carl.
……
In the evening, Karl received a letter of thanks from Hobert, and as soon as he opened it and read it, the butler came and invited him to the earl's study.
Carlton was a little apprehensive, because since he was a child, he went to his father's study, and was either severely criticized or praised.
But there are not many times when I receive praise, and most of the time I do something wrong and get scolded.
Carl asked himself if he hadn't done anything commendable lately, and he probably didn't know what he was doing inappropriately and his father knew.
However, when he entered the study, he found that Count Vincent did not seem to be angry, but asked, "You have a connection with Count Holmert?" ”
"Huh? Right. Carr realized that his father knew about the letter from Earl Hobert, and he told him the truth: "He has helped me a little, and I have done him a little favor." ”
Vincent said suddenly: "The gathering of extraordinary people you attended couldn't have been initiated by Hobert, right?" ”
Carl just smiled wryly, he didn't want to beat himself up like he had been stung by a bee again.
Vincent nodded understandingly: "Keep up the momentum now!" ”
He changed his words: "I heard that Gleilynt is going to have a banquet tomorrow for some noble children who are not very valued?" ”
Carl thought of the task given by Hobart at the previous party, and he nodded: "Yes." ”
"Are you going to go?"
"Didn't my father arrange for me to work at the Beckland shipyard? I'm not going. ”
"No, you're going!" Vincent said solemnly: "Don't think that I don't know anything because I travel a lot, you also have Gleilint in that party, right?" ”
Without waiting for Carl to answer, Vincent added, "Not only do you want to participate, but you also have to find out what Hobart wants to do?" ”
Karl was slightly stunned: "Father, you have to deal with Count Hobert." ”
"Idiot!" Vincent sighed: "Let's see if there's a chance here!" ”
He said: "Christine is not a simple person, and in the future Beckland political circles, he can definitely have a high political status."
Perhaps Hobert was carrying out some of his father's instructions? Even if it wasn't his father's instructions, Hobert's operation was incomprehensible.
"Since you can't understand it, let's find out. If there is an opportunity, we can invest in Hobart in advance! ”
In the end, he said meaningfully: "This is the foundation of the aristocracy gradually becoming stronger." ”
Carl finally understood his father's intentions: "Recently, I have often visited Earl Hobert's. ”
"Hmm." Vincent nodded, not too stupid.
……
On Monday morning, Dicos' youngest son, Todd, arrived at 62 Queen's Road.
In the reception room on the first floor, Hobart met the young man with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"I'll start with your treatment." Hobart didn't have any courtesy: "You will be my professional manager, for the time being a salary of 300 pounds a month." ”
Todd was slightly stunned, generally speaking, a company manager who manages thousands of people and has good benefits has so much salary, and he also has a position in his father's place, but the salary is far from so high.
And now Earl Hobert's business doesn't seem to have any shadows, so he gives himself such a high salary?
So Todd hurriedly asked, "What exactly do you need me to do?" ”
"You now have three tasks." "The first is to go to the newly established Beckland University of Science and Technology, find a few professors who have research in electricity, and then contact a few professors who have research in materials science.
"And find a way to make an appointment with the headmaster, I want to meet with him."
Todd took out his shorthand notebook and nodded his head as he jolted, this task was not difficult for him, it only took a little effort to complete.
"The second is to help me find a large factory that can be leased, or I can buy the land directly." "If I'm going to lease it, I'm going to have to sign a contract, and I'm probably going to have to do a big renovation," Hobert said. ”
Todd asked, "How many workers are going to be housed in the factory?" ”
"Three thousand! It is best to have corresponding supporting facilities such as dormitories and canteens. ”
"No problem." Todd was well acquainted with Beckland's factory and was now able to offer the Count a few suggestions, but he decided to make sure it again and report back to the Count.
Hobart continued, "The third is to help me recruit a management team and find a venue that I will need to train my new employees in the future.
"The management team is only used to manage those employees who are trained, and as for the education team after that, it will be recruited according to specific needs in the future."
Todd was slightly stunned, and wanted to remind the earl that it didn't need to be so troublesome to train employees, but he thought that he didn't know the earl very well, so he didn't say anything to remind him.
Hobart smiled and said, "I'll give you these three tasks for the time being, oh, by the way, I'm going to go to the king's manor in two days to have a look, and you can go with you to see if you want to make some changes there." ”
"Yes!"
Hobart added: "If there is anything that requires the title of earl, you can take my carriage, there are two anyway, and it would be a waste to put them there."
"But every time you use the carriage, you need to report it to the butler, Mr. Dofvis."
"Thank you for your concern."
"If you have any expenses, you will be reimbursed by Mr. Dofvis."
"Yes!"
After Todd left, Hobert sighed, he had spent nearly £1,500 on the recent spending, recruiting servants, repairing the Earl's Court, and purchasing furniture, decorations, and works of art for the mansion.
Yesterday he signed out the bill for 1,000 pounds in one day, and the 5,000 pounds he had given to Dophiz didn't seem to last long.
Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were several big payouts in the next two days.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hobert's vision was covered by the gray fog, and he appeared in the giant hall above the gray fog, sitting on the side of the long bronze table, and the tarot meeting of the week officially began.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" At the same time as "Just" Audrey greeted her, "Fool" Klein, who was sitting at the top, glanced at "Emperor" Hobert.
Others couldn't see Hobert's change, but as the owner of this gray mist, he could feel that Hobert's temperament was completely different, and there was something sacred and powerful.
Klein thought about it for a moment and immediately understood, it was divinity!
Hobert has been promoted to Sequence 4 and has become a demigod!
This is the first demigod of the Tarot Society!
The billowing gray mist did a good job of believing Crane's surprise, and Audrey didn't notice it, and her greeting continued.
As soon as the greeting session was over, the "hermit" Gardelia looked at the top of the bronze table: "Dear 'Mr. Fool', I have collected three pages of Russell's diary. ”
Crane was looking forward to it in his heart, and said calmly and naturally, "Very good, you can think of a request." ”
"Yes, Mr. Fool." Gadelia then applied for the contents of the diary to be revealed.
Next is Mr. Fool's reading time.
After a few minutes of reading, Klein looked at Gardelia, "Have you thought about requesting?" ”
Gadelia said as if she was ready: "I wonder why Russell the Great made the choice to make himself crazy?" ”
In the beginning, Bernadette's question was: Why did he go crazy in his later years?
In fact, the question asked this time was more like a temptation for the "mysterious queen" Bernadette, who knew the reason for her father's madness in his later years, and deliberately asked to see if the "fool" could really read the contents of the diary.
After learning that the members of the Tarot Society had already communicated that Russell the Great had jumped to the non-adjacent pathway, which triggered the madness of his later years, Bernadette immediately realized that there was no need to test at all.
So the diaries are still those diaries, but Bernadette has a different question, a real question in her heart.
"Magician" Forthth and Audrey both thought of the previous deal with "The Emperor", but "The Hanged Man" Alger and "Sun" Derick and "Moon" Emlyn were a little dazed because they were not involved in that transaction.
Audrey and Firth were also very curious about this question by Gadelia, according to reason, Russell the Great had already obtained supreme power and fame at that time, why would he rather be crazy than become a god?
So the other members looked at the top of the long bronze table.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the answer to this question was in the diary he had just seen, but he did not rush to answer the question of the "hermit", but said:
"First, let's establish a fact. I am not omniscient, nor omnipotent. ”
He said this in a relaxed tone of self-deprecation, but the "hermit" and the others were not at all abnormal, and even behaved a little more flatteringly.
It is obvious to them that Mr. Fool is neither omniscient nor omnipotent, and that all the true and evil gods at present do not have the honorific name of the omniscient and omnipotent type.
Only Hobart shouted in his heart: I learned another trick! This is to give yourself strength or knowledge limitations, so lay the groundwork in advance!
After setting the tone, Klein began to return to the "hermit" question: "I also want to know what happened to Russell in his later years, and it is certain that because of some unknown stimulus or influence, Russell set his sights on Sequence 0.
"He said that he saw that all that was going to be destroyed, and that he could not place any illusions on the Seven Gods!"
Gadelia chewed on the phrase, "You can't trust the Seven Gods!" ": What did the Emperor see? Can't even count on the gods?
Audrey was already thinking about the deal she had with the Emperor last week: could it be a threat from "above the gods"? So you have to be a true god to resist?
Foirth had a similar conjecture.
Alger and Emlyn were amazed: did the Emperor want to become a god in his later years?
"Little Sun" looked at Mr. Fool ignorantly, in Silver City, if there is a chance, every resident can become a Sequence 0 True God, in order to create a more suitable environment for everyone to live, or lead everyone out of the abandoned land.
Crane didn't say anything more, leaned back in his chair and said, "Let's get started." ”
After saying that, he manipulated the "world" to look at Derrick: "The 'notary' potion recipe you want is here." ”
"Thank you, Mr. World," said Derick, "as agreed, I will write down this debt and wait for you to make a request. ”
"Okay." Klein manipulated the "world" answer while he made a pretentious request to Mr. Fool to manifest.
"Little Sun" happily took the recipe: "Sequence 6: Notary."
"Main materials: 1 part of the rhizome crystals of the Elder Tree, 5 tail feathers of the Spirit Bird.
"Auxiliary materials: 100 ml of sap from the Radiant Contract Tree, one Phnom Penh Sunflower, one white-edged Sunflower, and 5 drops of Water Fern sap."
After this transaction was completed, before the others could speak, the "World" looked at the "Hanging Man" and spoke again: "You know, the 'Sea Singer' potion recipe and main ingredients you want are here. ”
Gadelia couldn't hide her surprise and looked at the "world", she remembered very well that Gelman Sparrow had hunted the "Slayer" Gilsias not long ago, and where did she get the recipe and main ingredient for the "Sea Singer" potion? It's not going to be the "Ocean Singer" again, right? This is considered a quasi-high-level in the Storm Church.
Hearing this, "Little Sun" looked at the "World" at the bottom of the bronze long table: Mr. World also got the potion recipe and main material of "Ocean Singer", which is amazing!
Emlyn recalled that when he first joined the Tarot Society, Mr. World gave him the intuitive impression of being gloomy and introverted, and there were no other characteristics other than this. In the subsequent gatherings, he successively showed his sophisticated experience and fairly good ability.
He said in his heart: This guy is second only to the "Emperor", and I appreciate this seemingly taciturn, ordinary, but actually very capable type.
Hobart realized: Klein has finished his copy of Grossell's Travels!
Alger had already gotten the news in advance, so his excitement had already passed, and he said, "You can make an offer." ”
Klein had already thought of the acceptable price of the "Hanging Man", and now operated the "world" and said: "The formula is 5,000 pounds, and the main material is 8,000 pounds." ”
Alger breathed a sigh of relief: "Very reasonable price, but I don't have so much cash on hand, so I can only pay you 10,000 pounds first, and the remaining 3,000 pounds will be given to you next week."
"I think with the testimony of Mr. Fool, you shouldn't be afraid of me defaulting."
The gold pounds he had accumulated during this time, plus the 15% commission he had just received from the "Emperor", gave him enough funds to pay for this huge sum!
But Alger is still sophisticated in dividing the payment into two parts, one so that the money will not be used elsewhere recently, and the other is that it is not easy for him to come up with the money.
"World" said, "Yes." I'll give you the potion recipe first, and the main ingredients will be given to you after the party is over. ”
He then asked Mr. Fool to help him manifest the potion dispensing.
"Okay." Alger couldn't hide his excitement and glanced at the parchment that appeared in front of him:
"Sequence 5: Singer of the Seas
"Main materials: crystals of the intact spine of the thunder electric eel, pituitary gland of the storm rock heron.
"Auxiliary materials: 12 ml of bile of thunder electric eel, 16 ml of tiger whale essential oil, 8 grams of gray triangular powder, and a silver-white star anise gold plate flower.
"Ritual: Ingestion of potions in the stomach of an Obnes."
Seeing the ritual of the "Sea Singer", Alger was slightly stunned: no wonder the church wanted to keep the Aubnis sea monster in captivity, it turned out that this was needed for the ritual of promotion sequence 5.
This made him a little embarrassed, because with the exception of the Obnis sea monster in captivity in the Church, it was rare to hear of any wild Obnys, and even if there were, it would be extremely dangerous for a Sequence 6.
Alger suddenly thought of the milky white scepter encrusted with blue gems, and the top of the long bronze table glanced at it: you can ask for Mr. Fool's help.
But a new question arises: where do I go to find something that Mr. Fool is interested in? Trade with Russell the Great's diary? But all the diaries I can get have already been given to Mr. Fool, and there are not enough diaries to provide in a short period of time.
Alger thought for a moment about what he had in his possession, and he thought that none of them would be of interest to Mr. Fool.
Just as he was about to think about it at the end of the meeting, it occurred to him that there was something that Mr. Fool might not be interested in, but the "world" might be!
So he immediately said, "Mr. Fool, I have applied to communicate with the 'world' alone. ”
Klein after the gray fog was slightly stunned, he still thought that the "upside-down hanged man" would ask him for help after seeing the ceremony of the "ocean singer", why would he communicate with the "world" alone.
However, he still bowed slightly, and established a separate communication environment for the "hanging man" and the "world".
Alger said, "I need your help for my promotion ceremony. ”
There's something strange about the "world": Are you sure you need my help?
In a gloomy voice, he said, "I don't know where the Obnys sea monster is. ”
"Obnes sea monster, I'm going to look for it." "I hope you can ask Mr. Fool for your help in getting the Obny Sea Monster to open its mouth voluntarily so that I can enter its belly." ”
Klein finally understood why Alger was looking for "World", but he still had to make sure: "Why don't you just ask Mr. Fool for help?" ”
"Because I can't get anything that Mr. Fool is interested in for the time being." "I can trade you with the location of an undiscovered pristine island, please help me ask Mr. Fool for help." ”
Klein, who was at the head of the bronze long table, bowed slightly, and his identity as the "Fool's Dependent" who ran the "world" had finally come into play, otherwise if the "Hanged Man" then made a request to the "Fool", it would be inconvenient for him to bargain in order to maintain the status of the "Fool".
The "Hanged Man" made it easy to trade with the "world", and he manipulated the "world" and said, "Tell me a little about the island." ”
"On that primeval island, there are not only many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the north and south continents, but as far as I can see, there are traces of the existence of extraordinary creatures at the demigod level on it." "In addition, in the middle of the island, there is an ancient ruin of unknown date. ”
Klein was slightly stunned, and then manipulated the "world" and said, "In that case, we will also ask the 'Emperor' to participate in the exploration of that island." ”
Alger was puzzled: "Why? ”
"World" said solemnly: "Keep us safe!" ”
