During Crane's reading time, all five party members maintained absolute silence.
Of course, there are also small actions.
Audrey initially put her right hand on the table to support her side face and cast curious eyes on Valeela next to her, but she soon gave up such an action and leaned back on the chair with her head slightly lowered. She looked up at Mr. Fool secretly and observed her expression while reading.
But unfortunately, she gained nothing on both sides.
Alger showed the most piety.
He sat upright, looking down at the bronze table in front of him, with his right forearm resting on the table, and his clenched fist resting on his left chest, which was very similar to the gesture used to praise the "God of Storms".
I can only say that he is worthy of being the most senior "second and fifth boy", and his level is quite high.
Mr. "Tower" has another look.
He put both hands on the table, supporting his chin with his left hand, and drawing circles on the table with his right hand, as if he was not paying attention.
Seeing how he and Alger behaved like this, Valeela could roughly conclude that they had probably understood Mr. Fool's hidden favoritism and would not reveal that this was not the first time she had joined the "Tarot Club". detail.
Of course, they would definitely think and speculate about the reasons, but it would have little effect on her.
What Valeera mainly observed was Derrick the Sun, who was sitting diagonally opposite.
This young man with brown hair is indeed a citizen of Silver City who has been influenced by the blood of giants. He is really quite tall. Sitting there, he is half a head taller than the "tower" next to him.
When Valeela looked at him, Derrick was also looking at her with curious and friendly eyes.
When the two people's eyes met, he showed a simple smile, seemingly a little embarrassed, and withdrew his gaze.
The diary of this meeting is six pages long, and Klein is still there
Valeera recalled clearly in advance that two pages of this diary were continuous, recording the chat between Russell and Mr. "Gate", including the inside story of the Four Emperors' War and the two laws of extraordinary characteristics.
In addition, there is also a page recording Russell's general plan to launch a coup with the help of Intis's rebellion.
Through the contents of these three pages of diary, Klein corrected some of his misunderstandings about the history of the Fourth Age, mastered many historical secrets, and derived some guesses and inferences. It can be said that he has gained a lot.
In comparison, the content quality of the other three pages is much worse.
One of the pages was relatively good. After all, it recorded the names and approximate abilities of potions in sequence 9-5 of the "Generalist" path. The other two pages were basically worthless daily information.
After a while, Valeela finally saw "The Fool" put down a few pages of the diary in his hand.
She watched with pleasure as Klein tapped the edge of the long bronze table, waiting for him to sell what he had learned, using the occult knowledge he had just read in the diary to support the scene.
Soon, Mr. Fool smiled lowly and peacefully:
"Roselle mentioned some hidden history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I didn't seem to tell you."
Under the looks of surprise or expectation from several members, Klein described the two laws and gave a certain explanation.
The first is the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics. Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but will only be transferred from one thing to another.
This law is the easiest to perceive and summarize among the three laws of extraordinary characteristics.
"The Hanged Man" Alger and "The Sun" Derrick knew it very well. Even "Justice" Audrey, who originally didn't know this law, knew something about it because of Valeela's notes. Only "Tower" still knew it. Not exposed to relevant knowledge.
But he appeared calmer.
Valeela was not an "audience" and could only confirm from his initial expression that this was the first time he heard about it, but he accepted it relatively quickly and could not see any more inner reactions.
Of course, Klein also expected this situation, so before he told the story, he emphasized that this was just common sense and pointed out the facts that someone had already grasped.
He believes that what really matters is the second law——
The law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences.
The total number of extraordinary characteristics is fixed from the source and will not increase or decrease. Within a similar sequence, if there are more high-sequences, there will be fewer low-sequences, and vice versa.
This law cannot be summarized from personal experience, and there is no corresponding content in the notes Valeera gave him. It is obviously more secret and precious occult knowledge.
Therefore, Klein only gave the corresponding laws, but reserved specific explanations.
Common sense is free and explanations are charged, which is consistent with his identity and does not waste information - he is not the kind of person who would do business at a loss.
A few short words of "The Fool" made the five members of the party fall into deep thinking. It was indeed a high-level demeanor.
Klein glanced at the five party members calmly, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Piero once again entered his favorite state of analytical thinking.
Starting from the "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics" he just learned, and adding the reminder of the term "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics", he quickly realized part of this law——
The total number of extraordinary characteristics is fixed.
Immediately afterwards, he took a step closer and came to a more in-depth conclusion——
Extraordinaries in the same sequence are all competitors to each other to a certain extent. Once others take up too many extraordinary characteristics, they will lose the space for promotion.
At this point, he has understood most of the "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics", except for the last question——
Why is the scope of the law not the same sequence, but a similar sequence?
"Why are they similar sequences?" Alger couldn't help but ask, asking the question that Piero was thinking about.
Piero couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Alger. He felt more recognized because the other person's thoughts were consistent with his own. At the same time, he was also a little surprised by the other person's direct question.
Based on my understanding of Mr. "The Hanged Man", he should be more cautious... Therefore, something must have happened for this gentleman to change his attitude at the party.
Piero quietly looked around, suddenly feeling unfamiliar.
I am obviously one of the first two members of this party, but I seem to have become half an outsider?
Aren’t these people afraid of evil gods?
How come one or two of them have increased their identification with "The Fool" so much?
Audrey and Derrick's thinking progress was slightly behind, but Alger's question gave them key hints, so their eyes lit up, and they soon reached the same thinking progress.
Now, "Why similar sequences?" has become their common question.
Klein chuckled and was about to ask calmly, "What are you going to pay to get the answer?" when Valeera's voice sounded first.

"I see, I understand."
Miss Temperance put the palm of her chin on the table and whispered these words with a knowing smile on her face.
