"You can get started." Klein signaled the party to move to the next step.
Piero was the first to speak. He looked at Alger and said:
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man,' I estimate it will take another week or two to pay back the page of the diary I owe you."
"It doesn't matter."
Alger nodded to him casually, then turned to look at Valeera on the other side of Qingtong's long table, "Miss Temperance, did you send the 'Ghost Shark's Blood' to the place I designated?"
"As I said just now, I have been away from land this week, so I can only confirm the progress of the transaction from your side." He continued to explain.
Valeela smiled awkwardly and said:
"Sorry, not at the moment."
"After all, it is an extraordinary material at the Sequence 7 level. The preparation time is beyond my expectation. Next week, next week I will definitely be able to arrange it."
"To express my apology, I am willing to accept reasonable compensation."
This is the explanation given by Valeela, but the real fact is that she had to miss the afternoon tea invitation on the 13th because she went to Tingen, and missed the opportunity to socialize and trade with Audrey.
Fortunately, she had considered it. Alger was going to sea for a long time this time, so missing it for a week wasn't a big deal... Anyway, even if it was delivered in time, he wouldn't be able to get it.
Sure enough, after hearing Valeera's reply, Alger frowned unconsciously and quickly calmed down, "I want 100 pounds as compensation."
"I can only accept half of this request," Valeela thought for a moment and quickly replied, "There is no need to tell me the two main ingredients of the 'Spectator' potion formula. Their value must be more than 100 pounds."
Alger was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
His original intention was to get more benefits, but in the end, he ended up reducing his transaction volume?
He wanted to bargain again, but he was worried that he would offend the other party and not even be able to get the extraordinary materials... Just like that, he nodded with a complicated mood and accepted the result of this negotiation.
At the same time, Valeera was considering whether the "Fool's Express" should be opened early.
As long as she reveals part of the knowledge about the sacrificial ceremony in the "Book of Secrets" to Klein, this business can be hatched in advance.
Of course, Valeela only briefly considered the feasibility, but did not go into details.
No matter what, the deal agreed with Alger this time must be completed. If he delays it any longer, it will not only damage his credibility, but also disrespect the "Fool".
Seeing that the two of them had reached an agreement again, Klein felt relieved.
What he was most worried about just now was that the transaction failed, and he needed to be a witness to punish Miss Temperance for breaking the contract. He knew very well that he did not have the ability to do so.
After solving Alger's problem, Valeera reiterated her deal about the "Hunter" potion formula, but neither Alger nor Piero responded.
After that, the party entered the chatting stage.
Alger used the "Listener" he was chasing to lead out the "Sanctuary" of the "True Creator" and conduct a slight temptation on the dangerous edge of offending Mr. Fool.
In response to this, Klein replied coquettishly, relying on the small amount of information he had access to, "I prefer to call her, the Fallen Creator."
To Klein, this sentence was purely blind, but when it reached the ears of Alger, who was good at brainstorming, he concluded from the tone of his words that the "Fool" and the "True Creator" were on the same level. in conclusion.
After that, because there were no cute new questions like "Justice" Audrey, this Tarot session ended like this.
After cutting off the contact and watching their figures shatter and disappear, Klein sat in The Fool's high-backed chair and did not exit the gray mist immediately.
This meeting was not long, and he still had enough spiritual energy to make more attempts.
The first thing to do is naturally to play the "trumpet".
The three members of the current party each have certain channels. During the communication process, a lot of information is tacitly known. In order to maintain the status of "The Fool", it is difficult for Klein to ask questions.
He desperately needs a "trumpet".
Soon, Crane's first attempt was over.
He succeeded and failed.
The success lies in the fact that he actually embodied a "trumpet" through imagination; the failure lies in the fact that this "trumpet" does not look like a real person at all and cannot be put to use.
Klein could only sigh and gave up the idea of creating a trumpet.
Afterwards, he sat at the head of the long bronze table and reviewed and thought about the development of the party.
He quickly clarified his thoughts and found the part most worth exploring——
Answer prayers.
So far, he has made two kinds of answered prayers a total of 4 times.
One of them is the prayer aperture formed by Valeela transcribing the honorable name, and the other is the rhythm of the crimson stars driven by ritual magic.
After a moment of hesitation, Klein decided to use the illusory crimson stars in the gray mist as his experimental subjects.
He reached out his right hand and touched the stars in answer to prayer rather than in connection.
He tried more than ten crimson stars in a row, but he didn't get any information.
He had two possible explanations for this phenomenon.
One is that only by establishing contact first and pulling people into the gray mist can they "respond", just like Valeela and the others;
Another possibility is that the people corresponding to these stars have not performed any prayers recently.
With the idea of giving it a try before leaving, Klein contacted a few nearby stars, and accidentally discovered a special star——
There is a weak and unobvious "prayer" in the deep red color of that star!
Klein himself was stunned for a moment.
The two possibilities he just deduced were thus eliminated as errors?
After coming back to his senses, he spread his spirituality and touched the slightly rhythmic crimson mass.
The familiar vision change appeared again. After Klein adapted, he saw a brown-haired boy with his knees on the ground, facing a pure crystal ball, his hands clasped against his forehead, his body arched forward, and he was constantly Praying for something, a thick voice buzzed around Klein's ears.
The person he is praying for is, of course, Derrick "The Sun" Berg.
He speaks Giant language, which Crane has not yet mastered.
Klein used the ancient Fusac language he mastered to make analogies and could barely identify individual words, so he could only give up the idea of dragging the opponent into the gray fog for the time being.
He planned to observe and strengthen his studies at the same time, starting from two aspects to find out who and what this young man was praying to.
What Klein was thinking was that maybe he could find out some of the secrets about this gray fog from this young man whose clothes were obviously different from what he had seen and heard?
In this way, although there were some differences in the process, Derrick still registered at Klein.
