Mystery: Lucky One

After responding to the "world", Fors asked Mr. Fool to witness the subsequent lease agreement, and then ended the private communication.

Afterwards, Alice listened to Fors introduce the abilities and side effects of the "Lemanno Travel Notes" and explained that she wanted to rent out this magical item.

Alger, the Hanged Man, was the most enthusiastic about this. He asked:
“How to rent?”

The "magician" Fors thought for a moment and then gave the answer:
"Each rental has a basic fee of 300 pounds, and an additional 50 pounds is charged for each additional day. When returning the travel notebook, it must contain two more pages of extraordinary abilities than when it was borrowed. If there is only one blank page left when it was borrowed, then fill up the entire notebook."

Eh… Alice looked over in surprise and asked curiously:
“In that case, what if someone uses up all the demigod abilities in the notes and only gives you Sequence 9?”

"Uh." Magician Fors looked at Alice in surprise and began to think about this problem.

Yes, what should we do... Oh, no, if that's the case, sooner or later there will be a day when only the three pages recording the demigod's abilities will be left empty!
Fors quickly figured it out. She expressed her thoughts to Alice, who showed a look of regret that was visible to the naked eye.

The Hanged Man Alger spoke at this time:

"I plan to rent it for two days, but the specific price needs to be discussed further. I will make certain adjustments based on the extraordinary abilities in this notebook."

Fors immediately stopped talking to Alice and asked Alger happily, "When do you plan to rent it?"

"We'll rent it for two days between this weekend and next weekend. The exact time is yet to be determined." Alger responded without hesitation.

Magician Fors frowned immediately and said timidly, "It has been rented to Mr. World for this period of time."

Alger looked at the "world" in astonishment, and then realized that this was what happened during their private conversation just now.

Why is this happening... Alger lowered his head and thought, and soon remembered that the "magician" Fors had commissioned the "world" to kill the "Aurora Society" envoy.

He has already completed the kill? I wonder if Miss Fate has helped...

Alger did not look at Alice. He knew that this would not give him an answer, and it was not important either. Gehrman Sparrow had been confirmed to be a strong man who could kill an "Apostle of Desire" independently in a battle.

He has the ability to hunt down most Sequence 5s!
Thinking of this, Alger was horrified. He remembered that he would be working with "The World" Gehrman Sparrow next, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate to have Mr. Fool as a witness.

At the same time, Audrey the Justice, Cattleya the Hermit, and others also thought of the recently deceased Aurora Messenger. However, Emlyn the Moon did not think of anything and asked slowly:
"I'll rent today and tomorrow, is that ok?"

"400 pounds plus two more pages of extraordinary abilities." Magician Fors directly quoted the price.

"Moon" Emlyn nodded gently and said:
"First, please give me a brief introduction of the extraordinary abilities that have been recorded. If they are of no use to me, I hope to lower the price because I still have to spend time recording them."

Alice glanced at Emlyn, the "Moon", and suddenly remembered the close connection between vampires and the full moon. She then looked at Forth, the "Magician", who would be tortured during the full moon, and her expression became strange.

The "magician" Fors flipped through "Lemano's Travel Notes" and gave a vague introduction.

Alice lost interest in listening after a few words, after all, she was not the one who borrowed the notes.

After completing the transaction with Emlyn the Moon, Magician Fors looked at Hermit Cattleya and told her about the Abraham family:
"Ma'am, the direct descendants of Abraham's family have already given their answer. Do you want to communicate with me in private, or let me speak directly."

The Hermit Cattleya thought for a moment and said, "We will have a private discussion."

Alice listened to the conversation with little interest, and the "world" started the next transaction:
"I want to sell a copy of the Inquisitor's Beyonder attribute for only 1000 pounds."

When saying this, The World looked at the Magician Fors with a very clear purpose.

This price is 200 pounds cheaper than the normal "Interrogator" Beyonder characteristic. Fors was stunned when he first heard it. Even "Hermit" Cattleya couldn't help but be tempted and wondered if "The World" had other intentions.

However, Fors was still one step faster: "Deal!"

After this transaction, the Tarot Club began its free exchange session. Magician Forsi thought for a moment, then looked at Emlyn the Moon and said,
"I'll remind you of two things. First, remember which ability each page corresponds to. If you turn the wrong page during battle and use the wrong ability, it will be very dangerous."

"Moon" Emlyn sneered and said:

“I’m confident in my intelligence.”

Alice looked at Emlyn with a very surprised look and interrupted:
“Confidence is a beautiful quality.”

Pfft... Fors bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing. She coughed lightly and said as if to cover up:

"A serious incident involving a Beyonder occurred in the East District. The surrounding area is on high alert. If you want to take action there, you'd better be more careful."

Emlyn took this information very seriously and immediately asked:

"Do you know what the serious incident is?"

Hearing Mr. Moon's question, Magician Fors almost blurted out, "Clearly! Very clearly! I just don't quite understand the details of the process."

However, she controlled her mouth in time and looked at Mr. "World" at the bottom of the long bronze table with a little fear.

Almost at the same time, "The Hanged Man" Alger, "Justice" Audrey, and "The Hermit" Cattleya combined their previous speculations and vaguely guessed that the serious incident in the East District of Backlund was the assassination of the Aurora Society's envoy, assassinated by "the world."

Because she was not an "audience", it was difficult for Fors to understand the answer given by the "world". She thought about it and looked at Alice again.

Alice blinked twice, turned her head and looked at the "world" and asked:
"because of you?"

There is nothing to hide. The "world" nodded naturally and said:
"There was a little accident, and I used the extraordinary ability of the demigod level in the Storm Realm."

Alice understood it immediately, but Klein didn't call her at that time, so she knew it wasn't a big deal, at least he could handle it himself.

Alice didn't ask any more questions. She just shrugged and gave Emlyn a look that told him to fend for himself.

Although he was not very smart, Emlyn understood the key points and realized that the problem in the East District might be caused by the extraordinary ability of the demigod level in the Storm Realm.

Although he didn't like going out, Emlyn knew the impact this would have. He was embarrassed at first, but soon he remembered the teleportation ability in "Lemanno Travel Notes" and relaxed again. He chuckled and said:

"I'll pay attention."

He said this very calmly and seemed very confident, as if everything was under control.

Alice glanced at Emlyn, resisted the urge to worsen his bad luck, glanced at Klein guiltily, and lowered her head to advise herself not to really kill him.

Magician Fors said no more and only responded, "Anyway, I have reminded you." Alice glanced at Fors and suddenly realized that she actually had to take risks by renting out magical items. With Mr. Fool's guarantee, she was not worried that the other party would not return it, but what if the other party died?
Thinking of this, Alice couldn't help but remind him, "Don't you charge a deposit?"

"Deposit?" Fors asked in confusion.

Alice nodded and said:

"If the rented item cannot be returned due to accidental damage, loss or other reasons, the deposit will belong to the owner of the item.

"If not, then the deposit will be refunded when the item is returned."

Emlyn "Moon" opened his eyes wide.

Fors quickly realized the necessity of doing so, but she also realized the drawbacks of the matter, frowned and asked:
"But in this case, the money you need to pay for renting will increase..."

"That's something you have to consider yourself." Alice spread her hands.

The watching "Moon" Emlyn tried to make suggestions that would benefit him:

"If you want to collect a deposit and you're worried about that, maybe you can set it lower."

Before Fors could speak, Alice laughed. She turned to Emlyn and said:
“If you’re going to set a deposit like this, it’s better not to set one.

"Because if the deposit is very low, I would rather pay the deposit to get the magical item, and then I will consider it as buying a magical item at a low price."

Audrey "Justice" also agreed:

"That's right.

"Even if you really have to put down a deposit, it has to be higher than the value of the magical item."

After listening to their discussion, Magician Fors immediately made up his mind and said:
“I won’t take a deposit.”

Fors knew that with gods as guarantors, it was easy to deal with lost items, but it was even more difficult to deal with damaged magical items - that required the power of angels, and if a person encountered such a situation, he would probably not survive.

In addition, considering that Tarot Club members can ask Mr. Fool for help when they are in danger, Fors is relatively confident about the safety of "Lemano Travel Notes" and decides to prioritize business.

This made Emlyn the Moon feel relieved. He stopped talking and Alger the Hanged Man asked:
"Hasn't that 'shepherd' elder come to see you recently?"

Alice looked over curiously.

“No.” Derrick paused and said, “The ‘Six-Man Council’ seems to be busy with the former chief’s mausoleum. I don’t have the authority to know what it is.”

The mausoleum of the former chief... Alice thought about it for a moment and remembered that the former chief of Silver City built a mausoleum deep underground and moved in. He never came out again, and it seemed that he had failed in his attempt to transfer to Sequence 3 of the "Death God" path.

She tilted her head in confusion, and the Hanged Man Alger continued:

"Please pay attention to this matter. It will not be easy to study the tomb of the former chief at this critical stage. It may bring you danger."

"Yes!" Derrick nodded vigorously, "I will try my best to find out the details."

The conversation continued. It seemed that not much had happened this week, and the scene fell silent again. Alice thought for a moment and said to them:

"If possible, stay away from Backlund for the time being, or leave for now."

Klein frowned and looked at Alice. He did not speak, but Justice Audrey immediately asked:

"What's wrong? Is something going to happen?"

——Although she herself was not in Backlund, her father and brother frequently traveled between the territory and Backlund, and she was very worried about their safety.

The Hermit Cattleya almost instantly remembered what Alice had said before. She directly linked the two things together, thinking that Alice might be going to cause trouble for another Mercury Snake.

The Hanged Man Alger also remembered this incident. As for the Magician Fors, although she was also worried about her own safety, someone had already asked her about it, so she did not speak immediately.

The Sun Derrick looked around confusedly, as if he had no idea what was going on. The Moon Emlyn frowned and waited for her answer.

"I don't know," Alice spread her hands, "It's just that Will is about to be born. Um... you can't expect nothing to happen by then, right?"

This was of course unrealistic. After they figured it out, they all fell silent and frowned.

This was not difficult for Alger, the Hanged Man, and Cattleya, the Hermit. After all, they were at sea all year round. Derrick, the Sun, had no idea what was going on. The remaining few people fell into deep thought. Even Klein was a little worried and prepared to go back and ask Alice.

This was the last big news of this Tarot Club. After that, they taught Derrick some knowledge and language of mysticism, and the Tarot Club ended.

Alice stayed like she did the last few times. Although he had many questions to ask her, Klein handed her Emperor Roselle's diary first.

“It’s December 29th, and the new year is almost here.

"All the mausoleums have been built. Now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back."

Mausoleum? What mausoleum? Alice was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the godhood ritual written on the "Black Emperor" card. She looked up at Klein, who motioned for her to continue reading, so Alice opened the next page.

There was no date on this page of the diary, but the following line of ancient Feysac language was written at the top:

"It's right next to the one just now."

The handwriting of this line of words is beautiful and neat, which is obviously different from the handwriting of Emperor Roselle. It is obvious that it was added by others.

This should be a comment made by the "Mysterious Queen"... Alice continued to read, but after reading only the first line, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I think I'm not the only time traveler in this world."

The emperor also discovered this... But how much did he know? Alice was in a trance for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Klein, and before he could react, she lowered her head again.

...Among these "travelers", does anyone know about the existence of that book? (End of this chapter)
