Hobert was stunned, "Messenger of Death"? It doesn't sound as good as "Hero Bandit" Black Emperor, but "Death" should make the spirit body more solid, which in theory should be more practical for Klein.
The other members first looked at Mr. Fool together. After all, everyone just learned today that Mr. Fool has an angel who serves the "Death" pathway, and Tarot cards were left at the scene. This seems to be another case related to the Tarot Club.
Of course, everyone didn't dare to look at Mr. Fool, so everyone turned their attention to "Emperor" again.
Hobert spread his hands: "If I did it, I would only leave the 'Emperor' card."
Everyone looked at each other. Is there a Beyonder of the "Death" pathway here? So everyone thought of that angel of the "Death" pathway again.
Even if the angel wouldn't care about such trivial matters, it must have something to do with that angel.
Audrey had no choice but to continue: "The victim is the wealthy Capim. Many rumors point to him as the largest human trafficker in Backlund... According to witnesses, a gentleman exuding the aura of death and pale white light was seen at the scene. People suspect that he is a messenger sent by the God of Death to judge Capim..."
After Audrey simply recounted the news she saw in the newspaper, Klein behind the gray fog chuckled: "My attendant made a humble contribution to this matter."
Sure enough! Audrey cheered in her heart!
Fors, who had been very concerned about this, thought: This is the second Tarot Club-related thing I have encountered in reality! The Tarot Club members "commit crimes" very frequently.
"Political Commissar" then began to center on the two elements of "Capim" and "human trafficker" to start related brain supplementation.
"Little Sun" was not interested in this, and Hobert smiled: Klein's potion is almost digested!
Klein added leisurely: "He has gained two Beyonder characteristics left over from this incident, and hopes to sell them as soon as possible. The two Beyonder characteristics correspond to Sequence 8 'Sheriff' and Sequence 7 'Interrogator' respectively."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the Beyonder pathway controlled by the Loen royal family, so everyone started their own associations again.
And Klein was a little disappointed that Miss Magician was not interested in this. He originally thought that Miss Magician would immediately ask for the price, after all, she has a friend of this pathway.
To Klein's surprise, "Emperor" asked again: "Mr. Fool, how much is your attendant going to sell these two Beyonder characteristics for?"
Klein was slightly stunned: "600 pounds and 1200 pounds."
"I want them!" Hobert said almost without thinking.
His next "package of plans to revitalize the territory's economy" requires a large number of Beyonder characteristics. These lovely Beyonder characteristics that can be "reprocessed" by him are never too many.
Even Audrey marveled at Hobert's wealth. He has continuously "acquired" three Beyonder characteristics today, with a total value of 2,900 pounds!
Klein also sighed: Is it true that 'treason makes people rich'?
But then he thought of the reward that "Emperor" earned today: "Emperor" is so rich, it also has something to do with his sufficient knowledge reserves.
After exchanging information about the "Messenger of Death", Audrey asked again: "Mr. Emperor, Mr. Hanged Man, what have you gained from your exploration?"
Hobert smiled: "There are many gains, but also enough thrills."
He began to talk about the adventure experience that happened yesterday. Regarding their hunting operation when they first landed on the island, Hobert described it lightly, as if the two extraordinary creatures known for their agility were as easy to kill as two hens.
Alger added: "The hunting of these two extraordinary creatures was so easily completed thanks to Mr. Emperor's ability."
Klein glanced at the two of them: Before this, "Hanged Man" has been maintaining his position as "second in the Tarot Club". After this adventure, "Hanged Man" recognized "Emperor's" strength and now has the performance of willingly becoming "third".
Audrey also noticed that "Hanged Man" seemed to be taking care of Hobert's feelings.
Hobert continued to talk about it. When he talked about the two-dimensional space, he felt the scrutiny from "Fool", but he had already prepared for this.
At this time, Audrey's curiosity made his previous preparations more natural.
Audrey asked almost immediately: "Two-dimensional space? What a fresh theory."
Hobert smiled: "When I was studying at Backlund University, I established a good friendship with a physics professor because of a trivial matter. Once when chatting, he talked about this theory.
"It is said that the prototype of this theory came from Emperor Roselle, but many professors also believe that this theory is just the emperor's fantasy.
"Because there is a lot of controversy, professors will not talk about these things in class, and generally will not use them in their papers or books."
His statement was well thought out. Alger and "Little Sun" did not go to university and could not distinguish the truth of these words.
Fors studied at a medical school, and Audrey's courses were conducted at home, and they could not verify it either.
Klein is a serious university graduate, but he is a history student, which is a world apart from the physics department! Besides, how can the university in the county compare with the top universities in Loen?
So other members have no way to verify the truth of these words.
Even Klein said in his heart after hearing the name of Emperor Roselle: "Sure enough!"
Hobert felt that the gaze from "Fool" gradually disappeared, and he knew that his rhetoric was successful.
At this time, Fors sent another assist: "I seem to have heard a science fiction writer also mention a similar theory."
Hobert was not surprised. The ideas of some science fiction writers are indeed advanced, because they only care about thinking and don't need to prove it, while some scholars will be cautious enough before they are sure of a certain theory.
He didn't plan to "recognize" Klein now, otherwise he wouldn't know how to get along. It's better to talk about it when he needs to gain Klein's absolute trust.
Hobert continued to talk about it. When he heard the part about fighting wits with the evil god, everyone sweated for "Emperor" and "Hanged Man".
Fortunately, "Emperor" was alert enough and did not let the evil god succeed, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Then he talked about the experience in the mist. Hearing that even "ghosts" were tricked by Hobert, not only Klein, but other members also exclaimed: Can there be such an operation?
Then Audrey asked first: "Mr. Emperor, is that stranded ship the legendary ghost ship?"
Hobert said: "I don't think it is a ghost ship in the purely mystical sense."
