Bab 86: Chapter 86: Is Klein Going to Have Money?

At 3 PM, another session of the Tarot Club began as scheduled.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

Miss Justice's voice, full of lightness and vitality, echoed above the gray fog. Ever since she obtained the Sequence 7 Psychiatrist potion formula and secured a stable channel to purchase future formulas, the noble lady had been in a good mood. After her usual greeting to Mr. Fool, she was about to greet the other members of the Tarot Club but paused slightly.

Audrey noticed that there were two unfamiliar faces at the Tarot Club meeting.

One of them sat diagonally opposite Her, dressed in formal attire, sitting upright, with shoulder-length blonde curls and gray eyes.

The other person sat at the end of the bronze table, cloaked in a hooded black robe, appearing calm and reserved.

Who are these two?

Justice Audrey was momentarily stunned. Her first thought naturally turned to her friends Xio and Fors. However, she quickly dismissed this idea since, although she couldn't see the details of their features, it was evident that both new members were male.

"These are new members, The Pope and The World," the Fool Klein introduced at the right moment from the head of the bronze table, his posture relaxed.

"Hello, Mr. Pope. Hello, Mr. World," Audrey greeted the two new members, though her expression turned slightly strange when saying "Mr. Pope."

Although she knew that the title "Pope" simply referred to the Tarot Club's card "The Pope," it still felt a bit odd to address someone as "Pope" in a meeting chaired by a deity.

I thought no one would choose this title. It's not that the title is bad; it's just that it's in front of a god... Justice Audrey muttered inwardly. Growing up in a deeply religious environment, the title "Pope" naturally held a special significance for her.

In fact, it wasn't just Miss Justice; The Hanged Man also glanced at Lynn upon hearing the title "Pope."

As a proper church member, The Hanged Man was even more sensitive to the title "Pope" than Miss Justice.

Only The Sun Derrick, whose Silver City lacked a proper church, found nothing special about the title "Pope," as it only appeared in textbooks for him.

As for Lynn, he naturally noticed the subtle expressions of Justice Audrey and The Hanged Man Alger and thought to himself: This is exactly the effect I wanted.

If the title "Pope" wasn't so special, he wouldn't have bothered choosing it!

After the mutual introductions between the new and old members, the Tarot Club naturally proceeded to the first agenda item, Mr. Fool reading Roselle's diary.

Since Miss Justice hadn't collected any new pages of Roselle's diary this time, she didn't provide any. However, The Hanged Man, who owed Mr. Fool a significant number of pages due to the Hurricane Lieutenant Qilangos incident, provided six pages of the diary as agreed.

The gray fog soon quieted down as everyone waited silently for Mr. Fool to finish reading.

Lynn, playing the role of a seasoned Beyonder who had just joined the Tarot Club and wasn't yet fully familiar with Mr. Fool's benevolence, used body language to display small details of nervousness and unease while subconsciously recalling the contents of Roselle's diary that Mr. Fool was reading this time.

If he remembered correctly, this time Klein would read about Roselle's conversations with Zaratul, learning that the Sequence 2 of the Seer Pathway was called "Miracle Invoker," and the Sequence 2 of the Wheel of Fortune Pathway was called "Soothsayer," with Sequence 1 being "Snake of Mercury."

Then, there was the matter of the emperor's wife being pregnant again, which would result in his eldest son Ciel, who would turn out to be Roselle's most unfortunate and unsuccessful child.

Apart from Roselle's daily life complaints, the significant content included Roselle meeting Savigny Solomon in the White Maple Palace, the father of Nast Solomon, one of the current Five Kings of the Sea and a descendant of the Black Emperor Solomon.

Yes, from this perspective, among the Four Emperors, Solomon's descendants were doing quite well. In contrast, the descendants of the Tudor dynasty had a much harder time... In the end, Lynn couldn't help but feel a bit schadenfreude.

You couldn't expect Lynn to have much goodwill towards the descendants of the Blood Emperor Tudor who Hotpoted Medici. He was already being restrained by not kicking them when they were down.

He wasn't the kind of person who repaid hatred with kindness.

For someone like Mr. Door, who had no direct involvement in the Hotpot incident, Lynn wouldn't hold a grudge just because he sided with Blood Emperor Tudor. After all, high-sequence relationships in the mysterious world were complex. If he held a grudge over this, he might end up hating the entire Tudor Empire.

But for Tudor, Adam, and Amon, who were directly involved in the Hotpot incident, Lynn had no such restraint.

"I really do want to beat Amon up, not just because of Medici, but also because of that strange sense of déjà vu. It's infuriating just looking at him!"

Lynn muttered in his heart, just as Mr. Fool Klein finished reading the diary and put it down, clearly signaling the end of the reading session, smiling as he addressed everyone at the Tarot Club:

"You may now trade or communicate freely."

"Ahem, um, Mr. Fool..." Justice Audrey raised her hand as soon as Mr. Fool finished speaking. She was obviously a bit nervous, organizing her words: "Regarding the matter of Hurricane Lieutenant Qilangos, I still owe your Blessed a bounty."

She struggled to say this, but once she did, her speech flowed more smoothly: "The bounty for Hurricane Lieutenant Zilingus totals 30,000 pounds. I should pay your Blessed 15,000 pounds."

"However, this amount is quite large. If possible, I hope to pay it in installments over the next few months. Otherwise, I'm worried my family might notice something unusual in my finances."

Finally said it. Although discussing money in front of Mr. Fool feels a bit off, it's much more reassuring to repay the bounty owed to Mr. Fool's Blessed...

Justice Audrey felt a weight lift off her shoulders after speaking, feeling much lighter.
