Chapter 86: Discussing the "Mind-Concentration Technique" at the Tarot Meeting
Audrey had tried psychotherapy, but for some reason, she just couldn't feel happy. If she really wanted to be like before, she would have to "hypnotize" herself.
But then it would be pointless.
The key point is that she is also very clear that Raphael's words are all true. Now, when she looks at the nobles around her, she feels that they are all monsters with fangs.
The other members glanced at Miss Justice before looking away and then greeted Mr. Fool together.
Next comes the ritual of sacrificing the diary of Emperor Roselle. In recent weeks, "The Hermit" Cattleya has been sacrificing a few pages of the diary to Mr. Fool in exchange for answers to some questions.
However, the other members generally knew that the "Hermit" was asking those questions on behalf of the "Mysterious Queen".
After the Q&A session, the formal transaction process begins.
Just as "Justice" Audrey was about to speak, she noticed that Mr. "Moon" was already looking around at the other members, a sign that Mr. "Moon" was about to speak.
So Audrey waited a while, and sure enough, after looking around, "Moon" Emlyn said, "I have a magical item to sell. It is designed for the 'Living Person' pathway of the 'Prisoner'. Its main ability is to allow the wearer to transform into a 'Living Person' for three minutes."
"In these three minutes, one can possess most of the characteristics of a 'living being': skin as hard as steel, speed comparable to a steam train, and strength enough to easily tear apart a 'low-sequence' extraordinary being."
"In addition, it can also awaken the body, but the awakened body can only be controlled by the wearer for 3 hours. After this time, the body must be burned, otherwise it will become an uncontrollable living corpse that will bite the living things around it."
"The negative effects are: occasional unconsciousness and fainting, during which the wearer is like a dead person; often becoming very irritable and craving the flesh and blood of the living; never wear it on the night of a full moon, because you will hear the whispers of an evil being, and thus instantly lose control."
This is the result after Mr. Fool sealed it. Before the seal, the negative effects were too great. If the wearer had worn it then, the target might not have died yet, but the wearer would have died first.
Emlyn thought about it and decided to sell it at the Tarot Club.
Because he realized that the vampire adults couldn't help him advance to "Count," which is Sequence 4.
Emlyn doesn't really need the power of this sealed artifact right now, so it's better to exchange it for cash.
As soon as Emlyn finished speaking, Alger the Hanged Man said, "I know a pirate who might need this magical item, but you'll have to give me two weeks to ask him."
The Hermit, Cattleya, said, "I also wish to obtain this magical item. Name your price."
Even after being promoted to demigod, her defense remains weak; this sealing artifact can effectively compensate for her shortcomings.
Emlyn smiled and said, "4200 pounds."
According to the conventions of the Extraordinary Market, magical items of Sequence 6 or Sequence 7 level, if they possess three extraordinary abilities, can generally sell for 4500.
However, the "Live Household" sequence is somewhat special. Its main abilities are high defense, high speed, and great strength, so Emlyn's price is reasonable.
Upon hearing the offer, Cattleya replied, "I have no objection."
Then she looked at the "Hanged Man".
Alger didn't have a need for the goods himself, so he didn't participate in the bidding, and the deal was quickly finalized.
At this moment, "Justice" Audrey addressed the person at the bottom of the bronze table: "Mr. 'World,' I have reached a deal with Raphael. The reward for him is the extraordinary properties of that 'Living Corpse,' so I would like to purchase those properties of the 'Living Corpse' with gold pounds first."
Audrey has been carefully reading and studying what Raphael gave her these past few days, and she is eager to see the later parts, so she plans to complete the next step of the transaction as soon as possible.
The reason she didn't create a separate communication environment was because she wanted to use this method to tell the other members: if you still want to obtain information about the "Aurora Society," you'll have to prepare other rewards.
Klein paused for a moment before manipulating "the world" and saying, "Okay."
Alger, the "Hanged Man" opposite Audrey, asked, "Would you mind revealing what kind of deal you made?"
"If it's related to the 'Aurora Club,' I can help you pay part of the payment in gold pounds."
At the last Tarot meeting, he offered £300 for the information about the Aurora Society, but the value of that information far exceeded that price.
After the last gathering, he only handed over a portion of the intelligence he had acquired to the church, and not only did he reimburse the 400-rank intelligence fee,
He also earned a merit.
"It shouldn't have anything to do with the 'Aurora Society'," Audrey explained. "Raphael traded me a method to forge my spiritual body."
Training the mental body?
The other members were hearing about this kind of training for the first time.
In their minds, the strength of a spiritual body depends on the method of obtaining magic potions, and it can also be forged by oneself?
Klein was very interested: "I'd love to see what the method is. You can pay me only £800 and trade me the method too."
At the last gathering, the information everyone received about the "Aurora Society" was equivalent to paying Raphael a tip fee of 1200 pounds. However, this tip fee was kept by "World," the owner of the "Living Resident" trait.
So Audrey would have only needed to pay £1300 to complete the transaction.
Now, Audrey only needs to pay 800.
Audrey cautioned, "Only the 'audience' route works."
The other members were initially interested in this method and wanted to join the deal, but after hearing what "Miss Justice" said, they lost the idea of joining.
Klein replied, "It's alright."
Anyway, he gets the "active user" feature more easily, and he doesn't feel like he's losing out by using it to satisfy his curiosity.
With the help of Mr. Fool, Audrey "expressed" the Mind Control Technique she had traded for.
"World" glanced at it, and a subtle change appeared in its expression.
Audrey immediately asked, "Mr. 'World,' have you discovered anything?"
"The World," Klein said calmly, "It's nothing."
He just felt that the knowledge and description of the extraordinary world that he had acquired in the transaction seemed to have a somewhat "Chinese" feel to it.
But considering it was traded from Raphael, it wasn't so surprising.
At the same time, Klein remarked: Fortunately, he was already used to manipulating the "world," otherwise the "Fool's" expression would have subtly changed.
After completing the transaction, Audrey said to the "Hanged Man," "Mr. 'Hanged Man,' the investigation you asked me to conduct has yielded results. The reason the higher-ups of the Church of Storms are so angry is because someone said they are cultists."
