Chapter 358 The Surprised Members of the Tarot Club
Klein, the "Fool" at the head of the table, nodded slightly and said casually, "Hmm."
After waiting a few seconds and seeing that no one else had submitted their diaries, he said directly, "You can begin."
Upon hearing Mr. Fool's words, Emlyn the Moon quickly turned his head, his gaze passing over Cyril and looking at Derrick the Sun: "I, cough, our vampire clan plans to acquire more vampire traits, preferably those of higher sequences."
"The Sun" Derrick shook his head helplessly: "Sorry, I'm not capable of hunting more powerful vampires yet."
"Furthermore, I've already used up all the contributions I've accumulated, so I can't hire anyone else to help me for the time being."
Emlyn was taken aback, not expecting "The Sun" to give him this answer. He opened his mouth, but after a long while, he finally uttered, "Alright... let me know when you're able to hunt vampires. If you're worried about not being strong enough, I can offer some help."
His plan to obtain a document directly from "The Sun" that corresponded to the characteristics of a vampire baron fell through, and he still didn't have enough money to cover the baron's legacy clues held by "The Hanged Man," which left him somewhat frustrated.
It's all because the "Sun" is too weak...
And where exactly is the Silver City he mentioned? There's no such place on the map. There was a Silver Kingdom in history, but that was before the Great Cataclysm.
"The Hanged Man" Alger glanced at "The Moon" Emlyn, who was lost in thought, and asked calmly, "Do you still want that vampire baron's inheritance?"
"Some things have happened in Bayam recently, and I can't leave for the time being. If you still have any thoughts about that inheritance, you'll have to wait until I leave Bayam before trying to contact that pirate."
"6
Emlyn fell silent, suddenly feeling that today's tarot readings would bring him nothing but bad news.
Well... it's not all bad news, anyway, I haven't raised enough money for that baron's inheritance yet.
He paused, gathering his thoughts, and looked at the "Hanged Man," replying, "Let me think about it some more. How much longer will it take you to leave Bayam?"
The Hanged Man glanced instinctively at the Fool at the head of the table, then quickly looked away, saying in a somber tone, "That depends on how long it will be before the sea god, Kavituwa, falls."
——（—；）——
Emlyn: Hmm?
Derrick: Poseidon?
Audrey & Fors: "Sea God" Kavitova? Fallen?
Only a week has passed, how did things at sea escalate to the point where the "Sea God" is about to perish? And who exactly is this "Sea God" Kavituwa?
Alger, the "Hanged Man," swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes lingering briefly on "The World" and "Fate," who showed no reaction to the news.
The world's reaction is normal, but "fate"... does he also know the specifics of Kavituwa's situation?
This information should have been gathered by Mr. Fool's followers. If they didn't know the inside story, they could only deduce from the strange weather changes in Bayam that Kavituwa was fighting against "Sea King".
Perhaps the entity behind "fate" and Mr. "Fool" have a much closer partnership than I imagined, or even a defensive alliance.
After letting his thoughts wander for a moment, Alje explained to the others who were unaware of the matter: "The Sea God" Kavituwa is an evil spirit worshipped by the natives of the Rose Island. After the Rose Island was colonized by the Kingdom of Rune, it was severely injured by two archbishops of the Storm Church and a military demigod who carried a sealing artifact, and escaped, hiding in some ruins somewhere at sea."
"It?" Audrey, the "Justice," was somewhat puzzled by the use of the term "Hanged Man"... Since he is the "God of the Sea," shouldn't we use "He" to refer to him?
Alger nodded slightly and said, "Its true form is a sea serpent."
He paused, then looked at the "World" section at the bottom and asked, "May I share that information?"
Klein, manipulating "The World," replied in a hoarse voice, "This is no secret."
Audrey's gaze lingered between "The Hanged Man" and "The World"... This matter is also related to Mr. "The World," and perhaps the news even originated from him?
Although we knew from the previous Backlund smog incident that Mr. World had powerful information channels, it's amazing that his information channels are still this powerful at sea!
Judging from Mr. Hanged Man's subconscious actions just now, he respects Mr. World very much, and he has already met Mr. World in reality?
Furthermore, he respected Mr. World's status and abilities.
Mr. World... Mr. World's abilities are too much of a counterpoint to the "audience," I can't see anything at all.
As her thoughts wandered, she heard Alger, the "Hanged Man," recount with great emotion: "After escaping from the demigods of the Church of Storms and the Loen Army, Kavituwa went into hiding."
"With the Sea King residing in the Rhodes Islands, it has always kept a low profile, almost to the point of being invisible."
"Until a few days ago, the Book of Calamities from a ruin on Simim Island was stolen by a group of adventurers. Unable to maintain its current state, it inevitably began to spiral out of control and collapse."
"Now it is making a last-ditch effort, trying to unleash a tsunami and storm in Bayam to flood the city."
"However, its counterattack failed, and it was firmly suppressed by 'Aquaman'."
"It will probably die completely and truly in a few more days."
"Justice," "The Magician," and others were stunned. As a story, it was quite exciting, but as something that happened in real life, it seemed a bit too hasty.
A group of adventurers took something from the ruins, causing the already severely injured "Sea God" Kavituva to lose control, break down, and take revenge on everyone.
Audrey has begun to wonder if some organization or entity is behind all of this, and if so, who is it?
"The Magician" Fors asked with some curiosity, "The Book of Calamities? Something that can affect the state of that 'Sea God' must be quite extraordinary, right?"
"I don't know." The Hanged Man shook his head slightly, then looked at the world at the very bottom.
"The World," under Klein's manipulation, turned its gaze toward Cyril.
Seeing all eyes on him, Cyril propped himself up from the back of his chair, shrugged, and said, "That's a remnant of the Scourge Queen, Goshinam. It incorporates a Sequence 2 characteristic and a portion of Goshinam's will; it's a backup plan from her resurrection."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a handful of air in front of him.
Using his ability of imagination, he materialized a book that was all show and no substance, the "Book of Natural Disasters".
After displaying the imagined "Book of Calamities" around, he continued, "Kavituwa was able to rise from an ordinary sea serpent to become the sea god of the Roside Islands because it accidentally absorbed a Sequence 3 trait from Goshinam."
"Although it was lucky enough not to collapse and die on the spot, it was completely unable to digest the potion without understanding the art of acting and lacking sufficient intelligence."
"Although it instinctively developed some followers and became the sea god of the local beliefs of the Roseside Islands," this could only stabilize its state to a certain extent; more importantly, it was the will of Ghoshnam in the "Book of Calamities" that secretly provided assistance.
"With the Book of Calamities being taken away from the ruins, the already severely injured Kavituva could no longer maintain his condition and inevitably fell into a state of loss of control and collapse."
"In a way, it can be considered a nail that Gohchinam left at sea."
After he finished speaking, the people at the tarot gathering remained silent, their thoughts wandering.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," glanced thoughtfully at Cyril... Did the fact that "Fate" had obtained the "Book of Calamities" mean that he was involved in this matter?
Who is "Queen of Calamity" Gochnam? Is the entity behind "Fate" eyeing the characteristics of this Sequence 2, or is it plotting something deeper?
Judging from "Sea God" Kavito, this Sequence 2 character's traits should belong to the storm, which is the "Sailor" pathway.
Is the one behind "Fate" stealing the power of the "Lord of Storms"?
The fact that Mr. Fool's followers were able to obtain information about Kavituwa immediately suggests that Mr. Fool was also involved in this matter. What is he plotting?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the "Fool" at the very top, who was always shrouded in gray mist.
Noticing Mr. Hanged Man's movement, Fool Klein smiled and glanced back at him.
Alger quickly looked away and lowered his head.
Across the weathered long table, "Justice" Audrey noticed this scene: Why was Mr. "The Hanged Man" looking at Mr. "The Fool"?
Is the impending demise of "Poseidon" Kavitoa, who is on the verge of losing control, also related to Mr. "The Fool"?
"The Magician" Fors was oblivious to these details; she was still immersed in the fact that Kavituwa had transformed from an ordinary sea serpent into a Sequence Three, becoming the "Sea God" of the Roside Islands.
That's really lucky...
That's Sequence Three. Even within the Church of the Seven Great Gods, those extraordinary beings at this level are extremely rare; they are truly high-ranking individuals.
They can have a patron church and have the word "Saint" added before their name.
"The Sun" Derrick was also lost in thought, but it was because of the name Gochnam.
I think I've seen this name in some book before; it seems to be related to an ancient god. I'll go to the library again after today's gathering.
Emlyn, the "Moon," was shocked by the "Book of Calamities" that incorporated the characteristics of Sequence 2. Even among vampires, such things were rare, and each one represented the foundation of the vampire clan.
Thinking about this, he asked with some confusion, "Since the 'Book of Calamities' is so important, why was it so easily taken away by a group of adventurers?"
Of course, it's because there are other great beings plotting behind this!
Alger, the "Hanged Man," glanced at Emlyn, who had asked the foolish question, but did not say it aloud.
"Justice," Audrey nodded thoughtfully... This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Fate," "The World," and Mr. "The Hanged Man" were all involved, so it seems that Mr. "The Fool" was also involved.
Cyril leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Fate is always so strange."
"Kavituwa knew nothing of the Book of Calamities," and the officials of the Roside Islands were also unaware of the existence of an ancient elven ruin there.
"The last person to discover a clue by chance in the scriptures of the Ascetic Order of Morse, and who then took action, successfully obtained the Book of Calamities," thus triggering a series of subsequent events.
The Morse Order?
The entity behind "destiny" either originates from the Morse Order, or is it targeting the Morse Order?
After gathering his thoughts, Alger, the "Hanged Man," asked curiously, "How did the Book of Calamities end up in your hands?"
Cyril leaned back and said calmly, "The person who took it lost control. After I dealt with her, the Book of Calamities naturally fell into my hands."
.
"Why did it get out of control?" Fors, the "magician," asked instinctively.
Before he could speak, Alger the Hanged Man provided the answer: "An item containing Sequence 2 level extraordinary properties is also called a Level 0 Sealed Item in the Church of the True God."
"Such a thing is extremely dangerous and can easily destroy a city."
"Moreover, the Book of Calamities also contains a portion of the will of the Calamity Queen, Goshinam."
Um... After realizing she had asked a stupid question, Fors nodded awkwardly and fell silent.
In the silent silence, everyone on both sides of the mottled long table turned to look at "Destiny" Sirion.
After being reminded by Alger the Hanged Man, they finally realized something: Mr. Fate, who was sitting with them, possessed a terrifying Level 0 sealed artifact.
...This is a level 0 sealed artifact. Although it belongs to the Destiny Master, it can be considered the foundation of our Tarot Club. This is the foundation that only truly powerful secrets possess!
Even the Psychological Alchemy Society, which I've joined, might not have a seal of this level.
Audrey was genuinely happy for the growing strength of the Tarot Club, and a slight smile slowly crept onto her lips.
After a moment of silence, everyone tacitly skipped the topic and continued the transaction that had been interrupted.
Emlyn, nicknamed "The Moon," raised a hand and said, "Does anyone know a way to make money quickly?"
"6
""
The people on both sides of the mottled long table fell silent once again in tacit agreement.
After a two-second silence, Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "You vampires are all born pharmacists. Whether you are an ordinary person or an extraordinary one, you all have a need for potions."
Emlyn shook his head and rejected the suggestion outright: "No, selling large quantities of the potion will attract the attention of the authorities, which will endanger our fellow tribesmen in Backlund."
"You can come to the sea to hunt pirates who are wanted by the authorities of various countries. In addition to the bounty on their heads, their special characteristics, magical items, and wealth are all spoils of war."
"If you don't want to go to sea, there are also wanted criminals with bounties on land."
"You vampires must be very good at fighting, and you also have many auxiliary methods using potions."
Alger offered his advice sincerely, because only the "Moon" with money could buy the Baron's inheritance from him.
