章節 182: Chapter 101:Second Tarot Club

In an old and small room, an old man and a man was talking.

"The bathroom is on the first floor, in the back" explained an old and almost bald man to a man with a workman's hat and dirt on his face.

The worker was dressed in the clothes of any other worker and had a bag on his shoulder, he was also quite stooped but the most curious thing was his red eyes.

"Understood"

Hearing the rough and tired voice, the old man just shook his head.

He handed the red-eyed worker a key and he grabbed it with his hands wrapped in dirty bandages.

"The payment will be every 15th of the month if you can't pay I'll kick you out and your things will be the payment so you better be up to date" the old man growled as he left the room and slammed the door.

Listening as the footsteps were moving away, the worker just sighed as he straightened up and took off his hat, showing his beautiful red hair.

"What a fucking room." Adryan said in disgust.

The bed was old and the sheets were yellow, he could smell several strange odors in it that made his disgust increase.

The odors varied in origin, but they were all products of the human body.

The floor was very dusty and the only furniture in the room was a small table and an old chair, also a small wardrobe that was broken in several parts.

Seeing this he just sighed as he placed the bag on the table and took out a broom brush along with a rag.

The first thing he did was toss the dirty pillows to one side and remove those filthy sheets and this allowed him to see the multiple holes in the thin mattress through which the stuffing was coming out.

"At least it doesn't have springs..." the redhead murmured as he went to the bag and took out a clean and thick sheet along with a small pillow.

He wrapped the mattress in this sheet and placed the pillow on top of the bed.

Now the room looked much better and all he had done was change the sheets and pillows.

While he was cleaning he heard Flora's amused laugh.

"It's so much fun watching you act like a servant!!" Flora said between laughs and Adryan just sighed as he used the rag to clean the wardrobe.

He would now live in a hotel in the East Borough, he first thought of using a hotel in a better area but decided to use this one because he did not have to worry about implicating innocent people if he were attacked again.

This hotel was one known in the East Borough because it was one controlled by various gangs and even that old man was a member of one.

This hotel was a 'good' one but only gang members could afford the price of living in it.

Thanks to that he did not have to worry about harming innocent people because there were no innocent people here.

'I could even set this building on fire and if everyone in this burns I won't feel bad' the redhead thought darkly.

Although of course, that would be after robbing them.

With the furniture clean he grabbed the broom brush and began to clean the floor.

'Tomorrow I'll go check how Xio is doing concerning what I asked her, I'll also take advantage and write her a letter to let her know that the meeting place has changed, also maybe I can tell Maric about Steve' the man thought seriously.

After a while, the room was finally clean and Adryan nodded satisfied with that.

Now with a more 'livable' room, he sat on the bed while he took out a handkerchief and wiped his face with it.

With his clean face, he lay back on the bed, he reached into his pocket and took out a beautiful pocket watch and opened it.

The hands of clock marked 2:40 p.m.

Seeing that the Tarot Club was still a little far away, he closed the pocket watch and put it away.

Closing his eyes he let his mind wander.

'Now I can take advantage of the fact that I'm in the East Borough and investigate the whereabouts of those policemen, if I'm lucky I might get something by the end of this week'

'It's also been a while since I notified the churches so Joseph should be dead by now, that means their activity here should be much less and the chances of running into them are low.'

That thought caused a sharp smile to form on his face.

'That means I can go out as Mr. Holmes again so digesting what's left of my potions shouldn't be hard thanks to that.'

'I have just under 700 pounds left but that's no problem after all, the gangs here have plenty of money I can steal~'

'But now I better go back to the matter of Steve, why did he attack me? It can't be just because of those documents, right? He must want something more but what? I don't remember having something that interests you? Maybe it's the characteristics of the Beyonder that I killed?'

When that thought passed through his head he kept thinking but then he shook his head.

'I can't be sure of that, the only thing I can be sure of is that he wanted me dead because he went for the kill from the first moment although it makes sense, in this world the dead speak and whatever he needed he would get it with my death '

A possibility hit his head causing him to open his eyes.

'He doesn't think I know where Maric and Sharron are, right? He doesn't have any evidence on that so he shouldn't have that possibility in mind' another thought came to his head that made him frown.

'Maybe....if I put myself in Steve's shoes this would be what I know.....

An unknown person murdered one of my men and not only that but also took some documents that were encrypted, why?

If they are encrypted, why take them if they don't work for you?

Unless he knows how to do it but that's impossible

According to the survivor, he was low sequence so how would he know how to decrypt it?

Unless he knew someone who knew how.'

The memory of Maric quickly deciphering the documents came to his head and this made him raise a hand to his face.

'The fact that Maric decrypted them so quickly should have caught my attention....'

'Is very possible that it's a Rose School of Thought method'

'The fact that the documents weren't in my house should have bolstered the idea that I gave them to someone...

He wants to kill me to find out who that someone is and he has very good reasons to believe that it is who he is looking for'

Now he raised both hands to his head as he sighed.

'He wants to use me to find out where Maric and Sharron are....'

As soon as that thought crossed his mind he just opened his mouth.

"I'm an unlucky bastard" Adryan said defeated as he covered his face with his hands.

Flora listening to the redhead's words huffed but said nothing.

She was the real unlucky bastard!!

He was already worried by the time Jason and Tyre arrived in Backlund but now he had to worry even more since he would be the main target.

'It's a good thing I got away from Isengard before they arrived' the redhead thought with relief.

Sensing that the time had come, he put his hand in his pocket and brought out Hangover Time again.

Opening it, he saw that it was a minute before 3:00 p.m.

"Flora, I'm going to take a short nap, don't bother me" he said as he laid his head on the pillow and closed his eyes, and began counting in his mind.

"Good for me, I'll have time for myself" answered Flora without haste.

'56...57...58...59...

60' As soon as he counted the number sixty, a crimson light enveloped him.

...

Opening his eyes and looking around, Adryan found himself back in his high-back seat at the long, tall bronze table.

Looking to his side he saw where the figures of Audrey and Alger were sitting.

And the most important one was sitting on the Seat of Honor covered in the thick gray mist, one hand was flat touching the table while the other was scratching his chin.

"Good afternoon Mr. Fool~" Audrey shouted with a cheery voice.

Following that greeting, she turned to look at Alger, and with the same tone, she greeted him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man~"

Alger didn't answer but just gave a soft nod.

Seeing this, Adryan couldn't stop one of the corners of his mouth from subconsciously turning up into a small smile.

'Miss Justice reminds me of my little cousin, she also used to greet me with that tone' thought the redhead with a feeling of warmth on his chest.

Audrey turned her gaze to the farthest man and her posture became calmer.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chariot" her tone became serene and calm, no longer showing the emotion of before.

This made Adryan feel a pang in his chest but he covered it perfectly, not showing that it affected him, and responded with a nod.

As Audrey greeted him, she looked away from the man in the strange robe and returned her attention to the figure covered in thick gray fog who observed this with what she believed to be calm.

Klein actually watched this with one corner of his mouth twitching.

'Miss Justice according to Mr. Chariot is noble, right? Isn't she a bit unsophisticated? Does she seriously think I'm a nice guy? Also, the way she treated Chariot seems a bit childish, I don't think she has forgiven how he provoked her last week. It seems that they protected her very well to maintain that innocence at this age' Klein made a judgment of Justice's personality but seeing As she turned to look at him he smiled and maintained his unfathomable image.

"Good afternoon, Miss Justice"

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and brought his left hand to his glabella, and touched it twice.

Audrey and Alger didn't pay the slightest attention to that movement but Adryan straightened up and became serious.

'Here it comes, please Klein don't explode' the redhead thought worriedly, seeing how Klein fixed his gaze on Audrey.

The moment Klein activated his Spiritual Vision, everything he saw in front of him changed!

Auras appeared around Alger and Audrey which quickly caught his attention.

He shifted his gaze to Audrey who was standing next to him, completely ignoring the aura of the man farther away.....

'The colors of Miss Justice's emotions are red, and yellow mixed with a bit of green.

That's joy, zeal, excitement, and a bit of annoyance?' The latter confused Klein a bit but he noticed how Justice seemed to be giving the farthest man a side-eye.

'Of course...'

Changing his gaze to his opposite side he saw the Hanged Man.

Like Justice, there was nothing special about the Hanged Man's colors. His emotions were blue mixed with some orange.

'Calm, thoughtful, careful and a little pleased?' Being his first attempt, Klein came to a conclusion without much confidence.

Just when he was about to shift his gaze to Chariot he saw something deep inside the Hanged Man!

Klein focused his mind and took another careful look. He could faintly see that within the Hanged Man's Ether Body was a deep blue, akin to the sea. It felt like a tidal storm.

Having an idea of ​​what that could mean, he returned his gaze to Justice and saw that there was nothing inside her Ether Body. This confirmed his theory.

'That should be something exclusive to the Beyonders and since this is my home ground I can see things that Old Neil did not manifest, and from what it seems the Hanged Man is a Beyonder stronger than him' Klein analyzed and concluded while the Hanged Man and Chariot finished their greetings.

Audrey returned her gaze to the man in front of her and asked in anticipation.

"Mr. Hanged Man, did you receive the box of Ghost Shark's blood?"

Seeing the opportunity for Klein to stop using his Spiritual Vision, Adryan decided to grab it by the neck and squeeze it with all his might.

Time to create drama...

"Oh~ So Ghost Shark Blood huh?~" Adryan asked curiously and amused and this made Audrey freeze realizing her mistake.

'I was so excited to receive the formula that I forgot Chariot was there!' Audrey thought in alarm as she looked at Adryan uncomfortably while Alger sighed to calm down.

Seeing what was happening in front of him, Klein quickly touched his glabella again twice, turning off his Spiritual Vision, although somewhat resigned.

'I would have preferred to be able to see Mr. Chariot's Ether Body. I wonder how strong he is compared to Mr. Hanged Man. Stronger or weaker...'

Seeing that his distraction had worked, Adryan chuckled, but Alger and Audrey mistook this for something else.

Before either of them could say anything Adryan turned his gaze to Alger who straightened up and returned his gaze to the man.

"You needed Ghost Shark blood huh? Tell me then Mr. Hanged Man~ Have you already been promoted to Seafarer or are you still waiting?" there was a subtle taunt in the man's voice that Alger detected and it made him grind his teeth to keep from reacting.

The name Seafarer immediately caught the attention of Klein and Audrey.

'Seafarer? Due to his reaction that should be the name of Mr. Hanged Man's next sequence.

Mr. Chariot is terrifying!! He only had to listen to one ingredient and he already discovered what exact sequence Mr. Hanged Man is!' Klein thought incredulously.

'If I'm not careful with my words my mask as a powerful existence will fall off!!'

Audrey on the other hand was much more scared about something else.

'I revealed my deal with the Hanged Man to Chariot!! Please don't get mad and don't give me Spectator's potion formula for that!!' Audrey thought worried and anxious as she watched the interaction between Alger and Adryan.

But Adryan wasn't done with him yet..

"How I would have loved to see your face! I bet your brow furrowed so deeply that it almost came out your ass!!"Adryan said provocatively and Alger this time clenched his fists to avoid reacting.

Before things escalated further, Adryan gave a short laugh as he raised his hand and waved it.

"But don't worry, I'm not interested in your deal, in fact, I prefer that it be completed and we continue with the meeting" this time Adryan's voice was no longer provocative but calm.

Alger only let out a trembling sigh as he turned to look at the figure sitting at the top.

"Mr. Fool, I would like another private exchange with Miss Justice." Alger spoke with all the respect he could muster, and Klein nodded gently.

"It's no big deal." his voice was serene and he made the gray mist cover Adryan cutting him off.

'Cursing in the face of a great existence, Chariot has guts' Klein thought rather impressed as he cut through Adryan's senses.

"It's done" with his notice given, Alger nodded deeply to the figure as he turned to look at Audrey.

"Thank you very much. It met my expectations perfectly. I never expected you to send it to me so quickly" Alger said frankly, he seemed much calmer now.

Audrey smiled with great relief when she heard that"I am very happy with this outcome"

It seems that her fear was in vain!

The blood was obtained from her family's vault because it was kept in a large bottle and the amount they had was not marked, no one would notice that a little bit disappeared!

And if that happened, she doubts that her parents would pursue the matter!!

Alger took a deep look at The Fool who was covered in mist before returning his gaze to Audrey and smiling.

"According to our agreement. I will tell you the formula of the potion, Spectator"

"Let me get myself ready.Alright.Begin." Audrey inhaled as she focused her full attention on what Alger was going to say.

"Low Sequence Potions are very easy to concoct. Just follow the order that I will provide you. You must remember that there may be smaller amounts of the ingredients that I will give you but no more. That would cause a bigger problem. You must have heard news about the Beyonders The lost control." Alger first mentioned.

Audrey nodded gently and said, "I completely understand."

Alger just nodded at that and spoke.

"Now I will tell you the Spectator formula"

"Spectador. formula Sequence 9. 80 milliliters of pure water. 5 drops of autumn crocus essence. 13 grams of cow teeth paeonol powder. 7 petals of elf flowers. A matured Manhal Fish's eyeball.

Add 35 milliliters of goat-horned blackfish blood."

"The last two items are the main ingredients. They are ocean creatures, be careful."

"Alright" Audrey recalled and repeated "80 milliliters of pure water. 5 drops of autumn crocus essence. 13 grams of cow..."

"Paeonol powder" Alger remembered and Audrey nodded.

With Alger's help, Audrey managed to memorize the entire formula, though she seemed troubled as she muttered it over and over again.

"Do you know about Cogitation?" Seeing Justice nod he continued "I don't know how much you know about Cogitation. So let me describe it once....After consuming the potion quickly enter Cogitation to control your spirituality and energy..."

Klein heard the entire conversation and had no desire to interrupt. He was memorizing everything the Hanged Man said, but when the Hanged Man was explaining Cogitation he remembered something.

Audrey listened carefully to what the Hanged Man was saying when suddenly they both heard the knocking on the table.

They both turned their gaze to The Fool. They realized that the mysterious and powerful figure was gently tapping the table with his finger. He spoke in a deep voice.

"What you said reminded me of something, did you end your private exchange so I can free Mr. Chariot?"

Realizing that the mysterious existence wanted to reveal information, the first to speak was Alger.

"Yes Mr. Fool, we are done"

The Fool didn't say anything but just nodded gently and made the mist that surrounded Adryan disappear and everyone could see how he was leaning back in his chair.

Seeing that he was being watched, Adryan just calmly straightened up.

"Mr. Chariot, Mr. Hanged Man reminded me of something I hadn't told any of you yet regarding potions" The Fool's voice was deep and serene.

"It's not about grasping them, but rather digesting them"

"It's not about discovery, but rather acting"

"The name of the potion is not only symbolic but also imaginary. It is the key to digestion"
