Chapter 114 Bearer Accounts
Above the mysterious gray mist, a crimson light flashed, and three illusory figures gradually appeared next to the bronze long table, seated in their own places.
Mr. Fool seemed to have been sitting at the head of the long table, with his right hand on the edge of the table, his fingers tapping on the table at will, and when he saw several people coming, he stopped what he was doing.
"Mr. Fool, Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, good afternoon, everyone."
Angel waited for a moment, but Justice, who was usually the first to say hello, did not speak, so she took the lead in greeting the other members of the Tarot Society.
The Fool and the Hanged Man also routinely replied to the greetings.
At this time, Miss Justice spoke timidly, like a timid girl who had not yet taken potions, rather than a "spectator" who had already stepped into the ranks of the extraordinary.
"Mr. Fool, and everyone, I want to know what happens if a pet, let's say a pet dog, gains extraordinary abilities...... I mean, what can it do for its owner? ”
Pet dogs gain extraordinary abilities...... Extraordinary dogs?
Angel felt that the atmosphere of the Tarot Club was a little different today, and Miss Justice's first question was beyond her knowledge.
The hanged man was also a little puzzled, and he did not answer immediately, but looked at Mr. Fool and Angel, and finally his eyes returned to justice.
Angel also looked to the side, and although she couldn't see Mr. Fool's movements hidden behind the gray fog, she believed that the other party must be doing the same.
The heavy gazes of the three of them lowered Miss Justice's head.
"I ...... I asked for my friend's ......"
Her voice was so faint that it was almost hard to hear.
Angel remembers a previous tarot meeting, where Justice asked a similar question: what happens if a canine drinks a potion from Sequence 9.
Combined with Miss Justice's current situation, it is easy to imagine that her pet dog has successfully survived the risk of taking potions out of control and has become a transcendent creature.
A pet dog with the extraordinary abilities of an "audience"?
Angel looked away with difficulty, otherwise she would have imagined the embarrassed Miss "Audience" beside her, with her head down and her legs propped up, as a silly golden retriever.
In the end, it was the kind upside-down hangman who spoke, breaking the awkward silence on the bronze table.
"A pet that has become a transcendent creature should gain the ability of the corresponding sequence, assuming that it is a 'spectator', then it can help you observe others from another angle, and even eavesdrop on conversations in certain situations where it is not suitable for you to appear."
"And after becoming a transcendent creature, it will also have enough intelligence to communicate with you and tell you the information."
Mr. Hanged Man, why do you want to use the audience as an example, and "you", "you", didn't you notice that Miss Justice's head was about to hang under the table?
"Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. Hangman, I see. ”
After bowing his head and being silent for a long time, Justice raised his head again and thanked the hanged man for his answer.
"Mr. Fool, I have found a page of the diary of Russell the Great again."
Taking advantage of the time to manifest the diary, Justice finally stopped being shy and uneasy, she looked left and right, and found that the others had not submitted a new diary this time, and seemed to be a little proud, waving a small fist under the table, which was clearly seen by Angel on the side.
Then came the usual Mr. Fool reading time, and he looked down as he pored over the only page of the diary, and after about five minutes the sound of knuckles tapping on the table sounded.
"You can start talking."
Actually, didn't we already communicate just now...... Angel thought to herself, and then spoke to justice.
"Miss Justice, can the 1,000 pounds I have temporarily deposited with you be withdrawn in the near future?"
This was the two 500 pounds that Justice promised to pay when she answered the questions of "Acting Law" and Justice about the major secret organizations, and the hanged man also had 500 pounds, but he provided a transaction method at that time and took the money away.
"No problem, I can pay at any time, do you provide a delivery location, or do you use a bank account to make the transaction?"
"Use a bank account, I'll give you an account, you just deposit the money in it, and I'll take the time to withdraw it."
In this era, the banking industry relied on the spread of the cable telegraph, which made it possible to make cross-regional settlements in a single day, depositing money in the bank in Trier, the capital of Intis, and withdrawing it in the afternoon in Beckland, the kingdom of Rune.
Angel had bought the extraordinary properties of the "Instigator" in Port Enmat, and had spent almost all the cash on her in order to buy gifts for Klein and investigate the clues of the "Red Chimney", and considering that she would soon have to pay the private detective's employment fee and prepare the potion materials for the "witch", she decided to withdraw all the 1,000 pounds she had "deposited" in Miss Justice.
Although the bank account and cash deposit and withdrawal in the tarot meeting have lowered the style of the meeting, I really have no money......
Sneaking a glance at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top, Angel was relieved to find that the other party did not say anything to stop him.
Retracting her gaze, she noticed that parchment and pens for one-on-one transactions had appeared in front of her.
Praise be to the fools!
Angel was happy in his heart, it seems that Mr. Fool does not care about such a trivial matter, and will even provide convenience for everyone.
Recalling the bearer account she had opened in the morning at the Tingen branch of the Beckland Bank, she took a pen and put the name of the bank and the unique number of accounts on parchment, rolled them into a roll, and handed them to Miss Justice beside her.
This kind of bearer account can be deposited as long as there is a name, and you can withdraw money with a password, which is very safe for both parties to the transaction.
The latter took it, bowed his head and silently remembered for a few seconds, then looked up and said to Angel:
"No problem, I've memorized, I'll deposit £1,000 into this account as soon as the meeting ends today."
Thank you, generous Miss Justice!
Angel praised inwardly.
After the cash transaction was completed, the meeting quickly shifted to the exchange of information.
Miss Justice asks a lot of questions at each meeting, which are answered by the other two, even Mr. Fool. This time she asks for clues about the Arbiter's potions, as well as some extraordinary ability to pass through wooden doors.
Arbiter ...... This is recorded in the internal literature of the Night Watchman, and Angel is about to answer the "gold master" who helped her out of abject poverty, when the Hanged Man has already spoken first.
"I can answer you, in exchange, you're going to help me investigate something."
The Hanged Man also made his request for justice to investigate whether King of Rune, George III, would take revenge on the Vorsack Empire in the near future and start a new war at Byron in the southern continent.
Miss Justice mentioned that the top of the kingdom was under pressure from many sides after losing the war on the east coast of Byron...... It seems that the Hanged Man thinks that Justice may be the descendant of the high position of the kingdom, or at least have access to that level?
Angel watched as the two completed the deal, and Miss Justice changed her previous image of not being able to bargain, demanding that the hanged man pay extra for his request.
It seems that justice is slowly growing...... It's not like the little girl who has a lot of money but doesn't know the world before.
Angel sighed, suddenly feeling that her position in the Tarot Society was a little precarious.
The hanged man is knowledgeable and well-connected; The righteous family is well-off and wealthy; As the organizer of the Tarot Society, Mr. Fool's strength is even more unfathomable......
It's just himself, and he almost died in Port Emmatt, and he is only the most basic member of the Night Watch, and he has almost nothing to trade with except for a part of Cole Granger's memories inherited.
As he watched the deal between Justice and the Hanged Man end, and cautiously asked if Mr. Fool could join another organization in order to obtain materials and information, Angel's mind moved.
"Mr. Fool, may I ask if I find other extraordinary beings who are suitable for the Tarot Society, can you guide them to join here?"
She thought of her colleague who was also secretive and improved her strength like a rocket, Klein Moretti.
If you pull him into the Tarot Club, it will be of great help to him and me, right? It also relieves the feeling of being left farther and farther away by other people......
Thinking of this, the corners of Angel's mouth raised, but when he thought that Mr. Fool and the other members were staring at him, he hurriedly collected his emotions and made a serious expression.
The gray mist space was silent for a moment, and just when Angel thought that the fool was dissatisfied with such arrogance, a deep voice replied.
"If you come across a suitable target, you can tell me here, or through ritual magic, and it's up to me to decide whether or not to allow you to join. But until then, you cannot reveal the existence of the Tarot Society. ”
"Remember, for non-members of the congregation, you are not allowed to recite my name without my permission."
