Chapter 527: This time the tarot will be popular to communicate alone
When Alger heard the words of "World", he was slightly stunned at first, and then realized that the "Emperor" had been promoted to a demigod!
He was going to walk around the realm of those demigod-level extraordinary creatures when the time came, how could he listen to Gelman Sparrow's intention to exterminate the extraordinary creatures on that island?
Alger couldn't help but glance at the "Emperor" in the same row, and he couldn't tell that this was already a demigod!
And Crane's idea is actually very simple, since there are extraordinary creatures at the level of demigods, then for the sake of safety, of course, you have to find a demigod to help.
It's a big deal to give the "emperor" some loot, anyway, if a demigod joins the hunt, their loot will definitely increase.
He manipulated the "world" and said, "You go on. ”
Alger cleared his throat a little unnaturally, "Well, I discovered the island with Ziringus, and we didn't have the ability to explore it deeply, but he found some clues, and he suspected that there was something very precious and very important hidden in the ruins.
"I'm not as strong as Chillingus, and I'm not as deep as him, so I can't know what he's seeing, and I can only guess from some of his casual words."
Klein at the head of the bronze table: "The Hanged Man" is very informative, it seems that he and "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Ziringers have known each other for a long time, and they have explored danger together.
He thought again: the value of a primeval island is indeed not small, and for a secret organization, this is the cornerstone that supports the growth of members. And when I get to the level of a demigod, money will play a much smaller role, and bartering is the most likely way to get what I want. The clues of the extraordinary creatures of the demigod level are important, and the ruins are also a little interesting.
So Klein no longer hesitated, manipulating the "world" and said, "Wait a minute, I'll report this matter to Mr. Fool." ”
Alger nodded, waiting quietly.
The "World" asks to speak with Mr. Fool alone, and Crane and Trumpet pretend to say a few words, and then unblock the "Hanged Man".
He manipulated the "world" and said: "Deal! ”
Alger stopped rambling and with Mr. Fool's permission, he took out the parchment with the information about the primitive island.
"World" took the paper and took a quick glance: it was on the edge of the Rorsted Sea, and the overall area was not small.
"It's best to explore for the first time after I've been promoted, so that I can also help and not just lead the way," Alger added. ”
"No problem." Klein asked the "world" to nod his head and said, "When I go to dangerous places, I will need some companions. Well, I'm going to contact the 'Emperor', and I guess he must be very interested. ”
Alger breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. ”
After the two of them ended their private conversation, the "World" asked Mr. Fool to communicate with the "Emperor" alone.
The other members were stunned, is there so much secret to the transaction of this party?
Hobert was also slightly stunned, unable to guess what Klein was looking for him.
Just listen to the "world" and say, "I want to order that magical item with the 'Traveler' trait."
"Again, I pay £10,000 a week, and when the balance of the 'hanged man' arrives, I pay the next £2,000."
Crane had long wanted to get a magical item with the ability to "travel", so as soon as he got the potion recipe and extraordinary properties of the "Sea Singer", he planned to use the income to buy the magical item mentioned by the "Emperor" earlier.
After Hobert heard the request of the "world", he understood why he wanted to communicate alone, otherwise the "hanging man" had not yet received the money, and he turned his head to buy the magical items of the other members, which seemed to be quite unbeatable.
Then he thought: Klein seems to have herded a "traveler", right? Do I still need to buy this magical item?
Hobart thought about it for a moment: Oh, by the way, he seemed to be a traitor to the Abrahamic family, and because of my marriage to Furth, she asked me to help kill the traitor, and did not issue a hunt to the "world".
"Yes!" In the blink of an eye, Hobert had already thought about it for a while, and agreed to the deal: "Close the deal in three days." ”
He said before that it was a magical item from a friend, and he had to do it all.
"One more thing." "World" added: "After a while, I will explore a primitive island with the 'Hanged Man', and we need a trusted companion, would you like to participate?" ”
Then he explained: "On that primeval island, there are some extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the north and south continents, and there is a very mysterious ruin. ”
Hobart recalled: The church built by Adam!
Of course, he was willing to participate in that expedition: "Are there any conditions? ”
"There are no specific conditions, just the three of us help each other and make sure everyone is safe. In addition, if the spoils of hunting alone are not divided, whoever hunts will take them, and if it is the spoils of hunting together, I will divide them, and if there is any objection, you can ask Mr. Fool to adjudicate. ”
That's not the same! But Hobert thought again: "The fool" is not too obviously partial to one side or the other, and who is not a favored person of the gods? I'm still a relative of the "founder", if you have any objection to the division of the spoils, can you ask the "founder" to decide!
Thinking of this, Hobart nodded: "Then, I hope to get a chance to choose." ”
Of course, he could hear that Crane actually needed the protection of him, a demigod, so he made such a request.
Klein thought that such a request was perfectly acceptable, so he made the "world" nod: "Yes!" ”
After removing the barrier of individual communication, the "world" bowed slightly towards the "upside-down hanged man", signaling that the negotiation was completed.
Alger didn't have any opinion, after all, even if he didn't reveal the location of the island, the demigod creatures on it would be difficult for him to hunt for a while, so it was better to cash in as soon as possible like the previous island in the furious sea.
Seeing that the "world" no longer spoke, the "hermit" Gardelia turned his head to the "justice" and said: "The spinal fluid of the black hunted monitor lizard has been confirmed, 1800 pounds, and the fruit of the psychedelic bell tree has no clue for the time being." ”
"It's much faster than I remembered." Audrey sincerely thanked, "Thank you, Lady Hermit. ”
She didn't care about the price at all.
Then Gardelia said to the "Emperor" without any delay: "I have heard the information about the bone marrow of the suspected six-legged spirit, do you need me to continue to understand?" ”
The other members all sighed: "The efficiency of the hermit is really high."
Hobert first thought of whether to follow the clues of the six-legged spirit bone marrow and see if he could find another "fallen earl"?
But thinking that if you don't deal with this kind of black and black food well, it is easy to damage your reputation, and you still have a bunch of things to do, so you won't do this kind of immoral thing.
"No need." "My friend and I hunted a six-legged spirit. ”
"Little Sun" and Emlin were slightly stunned, which means that the "Emperor" was ready to be promoted to demigod at this time.
Firth didn't suspect anything, because she didn't know that Hobert's potion recipe required the marrow of the six-legged spirit, and that he had hunted the six-legged spirit with Archibald.
Gadelia bowed slightly: "Congratulations!" ”
Many people have never been able to scrape together Sequence 4 potions materials in their lifetime.
Hobert smiled, "Thank you." ”
After confirming the two transactions, Gadelia looked around and said, "Guys, is there a clue to the blood of the mythical creature?" ”
Klein immediately manipulated the "world" and said, "Do you mean purely mythical creatures?" ”
Audrey was bewildered and intrigued: a purely mythical creature? And impure mythical creatures?
Alger listened attentively, hoping to get more information about the "Admiral of the Stars".
And Hobert had considered that the angel he could find was not suitable for Gardelia, so he didn't plan to join the topic at all.
Gadelia was stunned for a second and said, "Pure, that is, angelic blood, one drop is enough." ”
She didn't go into detail at the beginning, because she thought that there would be no such high-end things in the Tarot Club for the time being, and she only put forward her real needs to show her sincerity.
But then she heard the "Emperor" tell about the battle that took place in the city of Fenerport, and she had hope for her own needs, so she asked.
The "World" responded: "I have some clues, but I'm not sure I can get them, and I'll have to wait until at least three months." ”
Hobert was stunned: the "Serpent of Destiny" was born three months later?
The other members of the Tarot Society all thought of the angel who had protected them, who seemed to be the path of the "Grim Reaper".
Then they thought one after another: Didn't the extraordinary war launched by the "Founder" in the Southern Continent before, there have been angel-level battles?
And in Fenerport City not long ago, more than a dozen angels appeared at once!
So everyone turned their attention to the "emperor" to see his reply.
Seeing that the "Emperor" did not mean to answer, Audrey simply asked curiously: "Mr. Emperor, I remember that there is at least one angel serving by the 'founder', right?" ”
Hobert said in his heart, "There are indeed two, but they don't have blood!" If the "hermit" is given a "power of order", will she lose control on the spot when she is promoted?
"Neither of those two angels is suitable for the Hermit Lady." Hobert told the truth.
The "Little Sun", who was also very curious, asked: "Mr. Emperor, is there any suitable or inappropriate statement?" ”
Alger and Furth and the rest of the team stared at the "Emperor" curiously, feeling that the "sun" had asked the question in their minds.
Hobert smiled: "Although I don't know what the hermit lady wants the blood of the angel for, but I think the 'lawyer' through the blood of the angel should not be the best choice for the hermit lady, right?" ”
All the members could see that although the "Emperor" kept saying that he "didn't know what the hermit lady wanted the blood of the angels for", he must have known.
So everyone's eyes turned to Gardelia, and the "hermit" smiled helplessly, so he had to explain: "Some ways are the blood of angels, which is indeed the preferred choice. ”
Then she added: "But I don't pick either, as long as I have it." ”
Some of the other members nodded, some leaned back in their chairs, and they almost thought at the same time: The one who understands the needs of the hermit lady best is actually Mr. Emperor!
Both Audrey and Firth are curious about what the "Hermit" does with the blood of purely mythical creatures? But this should involve the secrecy of the other party, and it is not easy to ask.
Alger had already realized that this could be part of the promotion ceremony.
Emlyn was simply thinking: I don't know what the blood of angels tastes like? Hehehe, maybe I can get out of control on the spot with a sip, right?
After a brief silence, Emlyn asked, "Do you have any clues about my last commission?" ”
Foirth immediately spoke: "There is a suspicious situation, I will investigate it." ”
In fact, she entrusted the task to Hugh, who had just discovered a suspicious clue.
Darek continued, "I need the rhizome crystals of the Elder Tree, and the sap of the Shining Contract Tree, the Phnom Penh Sunflower, and the White-edged Sunflower. ”
He remembered that the feathers of the Pactling Bird were available in a special warehouse in Silver City, and those three auxiliary materials were common in the outside world and lacking in Godforsaken Lands.
Emlin's spirit was shocked: "The rhizome crystallization of the Elder Tree and those auxiliary materials are not a big problem, so what can you exchange them for?" ”
The last time he offered the fruit of the Elder Tree to Justice, he knew where to buy rhizome crystals.
Derick thought for a moment: "An extraordinary trait that corresponds to a Sequence 5 vampire?" ”
For him, this is not a monster that is too rare in the dark.
"Bloodline!" Emlin gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to worry, I'll tell you when I think of what I want." ”
"Okay." Dyric, who already owes a lot of debt to the "world", is quite calm.
Waiting for the two of them to finish their deal, Hobert said to the bronze table, "Mr. Fool, I would like to speak alone with Lady Hermit and Mr. Hanged Man." ”
Communicating alone?
Klein bowed slightly, curious about what the "Emperor" wanted to communicate with the other two members?
After establishing an independent communication space, Hobert got straight to the point: "I want to get some information about Longtail Island. ”
"I've got information about geography, resources, and people, but I've heard that the locals believe in a false god, and I'm curious to know about the local beliefs," he explained. ”
Klein bowed slightly, understanding Hobert's intentions: I remember reading in the newspaper that Hobert's fief was Long Tail Island.
"One of the captains in my fleet once went to Longtail Island. ”
Not to be outdone, Alger said, "I have a friend who has been to Long Tail Island. ”
Hobert asked, "What do you each need?" ”
"300 pounds! It's not classified information on the sea. Gardelia said.
Alger nodded as well, feeling that the offer was appropriate.
The two of them add up to £600, and Hobert, who just earned £10,000, has no opinion on this: "Deal." ”
"The local aborigines believe in a god called the 'Mountain God', and it is said that the deity is called Megri, and it is said that he has a huge body, and the whole island is his tail, so it is called Long Tail Island. ”
Hobert was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this pseudo-god to have related legends!
The Hermit continued: "If you want to go to the mountains of Long Tail Island, pay special attention to the position of the sun, and if you find that the position of the sun has changed suddenly, then immediately return the way you came.
"Otherwise, you will definitely get lost and never come back."
Hobert pinched his chin: This description is a bit strange, maybe it's not the sun that has changed direction, but the earth that has changed direction, right? Otherwise, it would not be a false god. Is this the authority of the "mountain god"? But what a strange authority? Can you manipulate the position of the earth?
Then he thought: In my concept, the mountain god is the "grassroots civil servant" of the divine realm, but the gods of the local indigenous beliefs seem to be different from the mountain gods in my impression. According to my information from the Ministry of Land, it seems that the so-called "mountain gods" still have the ability to deceive people.
"Deep in the mountains, there is a church of mountain gods." "According to the devout followers of the 'Mountain God,' the main church of the church is in a vast cave, but every time they enter that church, they enter it through a different entrance, and no one knows the exact location of the church.
"Within the cultists, there is a very strict hierarchy, and the high-level cultists even hold the power of life and death of the low-level disciples.
"In addition, they have a torture called 'delayed death', which is said to be a process of praying for strength from the 'mountain god' to delay the death of the victim.
"After the victim was mortally wounded, he was subjected to extreme pain and fear for a long time, and it is said that every time this torture was used, the screams could echo in the church for a long time."
Hobert bowed slightly, originally he thought it was similar to Ling Chi's execution, but he didn't expect that he used some extraordinary power to torture the tortured.
In the end, Gadelia said: "I know so much, if I investigate further, it will be easy for the people of the 'Mountain God' Church to detect." ”
Hobart smiled, "Thank you for your answer, it has given me a deeper understanding of indigenous beliefs. ”
Then, he looked at the "Hanged Man".
"Both the Church of the Storm and the Goddess of the Night have churches on that island, and according to the level of this island, the official configuration of the Extraordinaire should be a Sequence 6 bishop or Substitute Punisher Captain, a Sequence 7, and several 'low-sequence' Extraordinary.
"The Doge's Mansion has a 'Punishment Knight' in charge here, because a major uprising broke out on Longtail Island ten years ago, and it is said that the king has issued a targeted order for it."
Hober nodded, he remembered the order: destroy all the crowns that appeared on the island.
"My friend also heard that ten years ago, the royal family sent demigods to suppress the uprising, but it seems that they have not investigated the cause of the uprising." Alger's friend, who had been a bishop on Longtail Island for a while:
"Since ten years ago, the royal family has allowed the local military camp to take the young and middle-aged people of the local indigenous people to serve as servants.
"In fact, it was bought as a slave in the Southern Continent and the local estates, after all, the entire Northern Continent abolished the slavery system.
This allowed a large number of natives to flee deep into the mountains, but it did effectively curb the large-scale uprising of the locals.
"The natives who still live in the western plains of Longwei Island are basically slaves, or more docile tribes who are willing to convert.
"It is said that the main believers of the 'mountain gods' are deep in the mountains, because they have not achieved much success after several rounds of suppression, and many people have died, so in recent years, as long as these believers do not come out to rob the governor's palace, the local garrison and the church will not care about them."
Hober nodded, theoretically speaking, it would be relatively easy for the followers of this wild god to dispatch a few demigods with a group of elite extraordinaires, and their main members would be eliminated.
Or simply dispatch an angel, and you should be able to kill the so-called "mountain god".
But the angels of the royal family are just two dry ones, and their role in confrontation is greater than the actual effect, and they dare not move easily.
And the demigods are also numerous, and they are also staring at each other, and it is impossible to stay on Longtail Island for a long time.
Therefore, there are so many such pseudo-gods in the Berserk Sea, it is almost difficult to completely eliminate them, because it is not cost-effective, in case a pseudo-god dies a group of extraordinary people, it will be more than worth the loss.
Generally speaking, as long as the followers of these false gods do not threaten colonial rule, the military and the Stormwind Church turn a blind eye.
Finally, Alger said: "According to my friend's understanding, there is a high probability that natives who believe in mountain gods will become unresponsive, mentally degraded, and easily distracted.
"In addition, they are very irritable, and many times they can be angry without knowing why.
"Although the 'Mountain God' Church has a strict hierarchy, it does not have a very strong organization, and in the uprising ten years ago, many people from the 'Mountain God' Church were arrested, but after interrogation, they did not organize the uprising secretly.
"The Storm Church guesses that this should have something to do with the fact that the state of the 'Mountain God' is not very good."
Hobert nodded and smiled, "Your information is also quite valuable. ”
This should be some archival information of the church, which is really difficult for Hobart to obtain.
However, this gave him a good idea: he could go to the Church of the Night Goddess to borrow relevant archives, and maybe there were other gains.
The free trade continued, and the "World" added: "Mr. Fool, I have just thought of a question and wish to communicate with Mr. Emperor alone. ”
It was a question that had indeed just come to his mind, and it was not appropriate to ask it publicly.
The other members were slightly stunned, what happened today? Why are they all communicating individually?
Hobart also smiled: Again?
But he nodded anyway, a little curious about what Crane wanted to ask?
After establishing an environment for individual communication, Klein manipulated the "world" and asked, "Is the 'above the gods' you mentioned earlier sealed on the Crimson Moon?" ”
In the diary he just saw, there were some speculations about the Crimson Moon because the Emperor Russell the Great had captured the believers of the "Primordial Moon" and obtained information about the "Primordial Moon".
Russell also said in his diary that he planned to visit the Crimson Moon.
In another diary, Russell was shocked, shocked by what he saw, but he didn't say exactly what he saw.
That's why Klein wondered if Russell had actually gone to the Crimson Moon and seen something that shocked him? It made him realize that he couldn't count on the Seven Gods, and at the same time gave him the idea that he would rather be crazy than become a god.
So Klein spoke to Hobart alone again, trying to confirm his conjecture.
Because it was still a guess, Klein felt that this information was not suitable for other members to know for the time being, especially not for the hermit lady to know, so as not to make her think about it.
"All I have is a yes or no answer to my command," said Hobert. ”
Crane twitched the corner of his mouth after the gray mist: You know how to break even.
