Chapter 355: Mr. Fool: The Gold Pounds Flew Away
She couldn't have known about the War of the Gods on her own; it was that sage who told her and Xio about the news of the War God's fall.
At that time, the Loen Kingdom declared war on the Feysac Empire, which truly frightened her and Xio.
During a meeting, Xio bravely asked why the Loen Kingdom would declare war on the Feysac Empire.
Then, they heard an answer that made their scalps tingle.
The War God had fallen, and the everNight Goddesshad won.
The brief words shocked her and Xio so much that they had to support each other to avoid collapsing to the ground in fear.
For the past two days, she and Xio couldn't sleep well. Every time they thought of the War God's fall, they would wake up from their dreams in terror.
The feeling of holding such a significant secret was truly exhausting.
So today, when she saw Miss Justice and The Hanged Man worrying about this issue at the Tarot Club, she couldn't help but speak up.
After sharing the news, Fors finally felt much lighter, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.
As for the undisguised shock in the eyes of the others and their chaotic feelings, that wasn't her concern.
She was just generously sharing a piece of news, that's all.
Thinking of this, Fors straightened her back, trying to appear profound and calm, as if she had just mentioned a common piece of information known to everyone.
After the initial shock, Audrey was the first to ask, "Miss Magician, is the news you just shared true?"
"It's true. I heard it from a very important person," Fors replied in a low tone, her eyes calm as she met Miss Justice's gaze without any ripples.
"This news is extremely important. I'm willing to pay a substantial reward for it. How about 1,000 gold pounds?" Audrey, having regained her composure, began to prepare to use gold pounds to get what she wanted.
Fors's breathing quickened, almost losing her composure, but she managed to contain her excitement and nodded expressionlessly.
Selling such heavyweight information about the War God's fall for 1,000 gold pounds was still too cheap.
"If this news is true, I'm willing to pay 500 gold pounds for it," said Alger, suppressing the pain in his heart.
Buying information about the War God's fall for 500 gold pounds—was it a loss?
It was definitely a huge gain.
But 500 gold pounds was not a small amount for him.
If Miss Justice hadn't first offered 1,000 gold pounds, he wouldn't have followed with such a high price.
In the adult world, sometimes you have to put on a brave face.
After all, he was the one who first brought up this commission.
If he had resisted the urge to ask, with Miss Justice's wealth and her interest in this matter, she would have offered a reward first.
That way, he could have saved 500 gold pounds and still obtained the information for free...
What a loss!
Alger glanced at Little Sun and the vampire, who didn't have to pay anything to get the information.
"If I want to ask about the specific details, what price would I have to pay?"
Audrey couldn't resist her curiosity about this matter. Anyway, with her current financial situation, she could easily accept any expense under 10,000 gold pounds.
Of course, if Mr. Fool was willing to explain these matters for free, she would prefer to hear it from him.
It wasn't about the gold pounds; the credibility of Mr. Fool's words was on a different level compared to Miss Magician's.
Thinking this way made her feel a bit guilty towards Miss Magician.
Audrey quickly dismissed this bad thought.
Seeing another large sum of gold pounds beckoning to her, Fors's eyes shone with gold.
She cleared her throat, suppressed her excitement, and asked cautiously, "Is it a private transaction?"
"No need," Audrey generously shared.
After organizing her thoughts, Fors slowly said, "The War God fell four days ago, on the night when the sky was filled with dusk-like light. If you hadn't gone to bed yet, you would have seen the anomaly in the starry sky that night."
"I didn't dare to inquire too much about the specifics of the war. I only know that the war took place on the Southern Continent and involved the everNight Goddessand other deities."
"The final result was the War God's fall, and the everNight Goddesswon."
Fors didn't provide more details, as this was all she knew.
That time, both she and Xio were so shocked by the news of the War God's fall that they didn't dare to ask too much about the specifics of the war.
One thing she didn't mention was that the stars also participated in that war.
From the sage's tone, it seemed the stars played a significant role in the war.
She didn't know the specifics.
The sage didn't seem to want them to know too much about the war, as a form of protection.
The everNight Goddess Won?
Audrey felt conflicted. The victory of the everNight Goddess was naturally a good thing, but it gave her the impression that the Goddess was the mastermind behind the war.
Her faith was in the Goddess of the Night, but now she seemed to be starting to blaspheme.
Audrey quickly suppressed this strange feeling and promised to give Miss Magician another 1,000 gold pounds as a reward.
That made it a total of 2,500 gold pounds!
Klein silently calculated the money Miss Magician had earned tonight.
He seemed to see the enticing gold pounds flying into Miss Magician's pocket, and her face showed a satisfied and happy smile.
If he had known about the war, he could have had The World earn that substantial sum of gold pounds.
In other words, the gold pounds in Miss Magician's pocket flew from his own pocket...
"Mr. Fool, can you answer our questions?"
While Klein was deep in thought, Miss Justice's voice came, and the others also looked over.
After thinking for a while, Klein smiled and said in a tone that suggested he was looking out for them, "Knowing too much won't benefit you; it will only bring unnecessary trouble."
Saying this, Klein glanced meaningfully at Miss Magician.
This look made Fors a bit nervous. She shouldn't have inquired too much about the war.
But thinking of the 2,500 gold pounds she earned today, her mood improved.
Compared to unknown troubles, the substantial sum was more tangible and important.
After giving Miss Magician a meaningful look, Klein raised his voice slightly, "Everyone, the tide of the times has arrived."
He didn't know what else to say, so he used this profound-sounding phrase to conclude.
What tide of the times?
In this society, in this era, the events happening every moment are the rolling tide...
After the free conversation ended, Klein had The World sell the extraordinary characteristics and weapons obtained from hunting pirates.
Maybe the news of the War God's fall was too shocking, making it hard to sell The World's items.
Klein glanced deeply at Miss Magician again.
This made Fors shiver. Mr. Fool's meaningful gaze seemed to see through her and look at the stars behind her...
After the Tarot Club ended, Fors immediately found Xio. Controlling her excitement, she used a gentle reason to tell Xio about earning 2,500 gold pounds.
"What! 2,500 gold pounds! Fors, did you rob a bank?"
Xio exclaimed, her tone very excited. She couldn't believe Fors could sell information for such a high price.
Since she started taking various bounty tasks, the total money she earned wasn't even close to 2,500 gold pounds.
"Shh! Don't be so loud, walls have ears."
Fors quickly covered Xio's mouth, making her quiet down. When Xio calmed down, she let go.
Then she looked at her palm, wet with Xio's saliva, and pretended to wipe it on Xio's clothes in disgust.
Sure enough, Xio's attention was diverted, and she pretended to break up with Fors.
After calming down, Xio asked quietly, "Fors, you didn't sell yourself, did you? And then make up a reason to fool me."
Before Fors could explain, Xio frowned and said, "But how did you sell yourself for such a high price? What's the secret?"
Fors's forehead darkened, and she pulled Xio's ear, explaining how she sold the War God's fall information.
She only changed the Tarot Club to a high-level extraordinary gathering.
"You've gone mad for money!" Xio exclaimed, "How dare you sell such information? Aren't you afraid of earning it but not being able to spend it?"
"Xio, that's 2,500 gold pounds."
"..."
Xio fell silent. After a long time, she muttered, "Emperor Roselle said, 'Men die for wealth as birds for food.' This is so true."
After thinking it over, Xio widened her eyes, "So you're telling me this because you want to share the money with me?"
"Of course, otherwise, why would I explain so much? Isn't it better to enjoy it alone?" Fors rolled her eyes at Xio.
As for the sage, he didn't care about such small money.
Xio didn't mind Fors's eye roll. She hugged Fors tightly and kissed her cheek, very satisfied, "Fors, you're the best!"
Fors wiped the saliva off her face in disgust, "Xio, you should pay attention to your image."
Xio, smiling, hugged Fors's slim waist and tiptoed to kiss the other cheek, "So sweet!"
