Chapter 122: A Commission for Miss Justice

"The elves' homeland?"

The Hanged Man froze for a moment, muttering a sentence to himself.

Lei Ke Dun paid no attention to the Hanged Man lost in thought; he was contemplating whether to strike a deal with Xiao Taiyang, transmitting the Spiritual Realm Sorcerer System to the God-Abandoned Land.

"But the Spiritual Realm of the God-Abandoned Land is isolated from our external Spiritual Realm; the library likely can't connect there either, and we would have to use Mr. Fool as a relay, which is too troublesome."

"Let's wait a bit longer; Xiao Taiyang and his group aren't lacking extraordinary materials. A system that currently only reaches Sequence Nine to Sequence Eight is of little use to them."

After pondering for a while, Lei Ke Dun decided to first put aside the plan to bring the Spiritual Realm Sorcerer into Silver City.

Moreover, A Meng is still wandering the God-Abandoned Land; a fresh thing easily piques A Meng's interest.

When the private conversation ended, Zhengyi Xiaojie noticed that the two gentlemen, Bai Ta and the Hanged Man, who had just been blocked out, each fell into thought.

"They seem to have had some exchange just now."

Zhengyi Xiaojie internally interpreted the two's states.

Seeing that the private exchange had ended, Lei Ke Dun timely addressed Zhengyi Xiaojie:

"Zhengyi Xiaojie, I wonder if you could do me a favor; I have, um, something that could be called a magical item, it needs certain testing, and I need your help."

Seated opposite at an angle, Zhengyi Xiaojie was momentarily puzzled by the words, then, filled with curiosity, asked:

"What kind of magical item? Why do you need my help? Could that magical item affect the mind in some way?"

The first assistance Zhengyi Xiaojie thought she could offer was psychological help.

"No."

Lei Ke Dun shook his head slightly, turned toward the Mr. Fool at the very front, and said:

"Mr. Fool, may I manifest that item?"

"Sure!" The Fool, shrouded in gray mist, replied naturally, as if unconcerned.

Lei Ke Dun immediately manifested a unicorn figurine; every member present stared curiously at the lifelike little sculpture.

Lei Ke Dun cleared his throat lightly, then began to explain:

"I call it the Holy Unicorn; it possesses portions of the Sun, Wind, and Life domains, making it a supportive magical item, with strength roughly between Sequence Seven and Sequence Six."

"Its trait is having its own likes and dislikes; this Holy Unicorn represents nobility, pride, and purity, so it rejects those who do not match those qualities and cannot be used by them."

"When used, it requires infusion of a certain amount of spirit; it then briefly activates, becoming a true unicorn."

Zhengyi Xiaojie, upon hearing Lei Ke Dun's description of the unicorn, eyes slightly sparkling, understood why Bai Ta had sought her help.

Both its appearance and abilities pleased her greatly; she wanted to purchase it from him.

After stabilizing her emotions a bit, Zhengyi Xiaojie finally spoke:

"Bai Ta, I am happy to do you this favor; do you have any intention of selling this special magical item?"

"Sorry, it doesn't fully belong to me; it belongs to the Knowledge Church. However, I can teach you a ritual magic that lets you summon its projection when needed, essentially a special summoning spell."

Lei Ke Dun shook his head and explained. Though the unicorn figurine cannot be sold, the ritual magic for summoning its projection has no such restriction.

Although slightly disappointed she couldn't buy the unicorn figurine she liked at first glance, Zhengyi Xiaojie managed her emotions well and spoke again:

"May I ask what price I need to pay to acquire the ritual magic for summoning the projection?"

"No need; consider it payment for testing it for me. However, the ritual magic is a bit troublesome and requires some prerequisites to learn. If you trust me, we can meet in Bei Ke Lan De, and I will teach you the ritual magic and the corresponding casting system."

"Of course, if you are uneasy, we can stay here and later choose a time for a private exchange, with Mr. Fool as witness."

Lei Ke Dun intended to use this opportunity to spread the Spiritual Realm Sorcerer System at the Tarot Meeting.

Hearing the request to meet in Bei Ke Lan De, Zhengyi Xiaojie hesitated; such a real‑world meeting didn't match her initial understanding of the Tarot Meeting, and she asked hesitantly:

"Casting system? Is it troublesome?"

"It's a system different from demonic elixirs; it can't be mastered instantly like a potion, requiring study and accumulation of knowledge. Currently it only circulates within the Knowledge Church, posing little danger, and Mr. Fool can act as witness."

Lei Ke Dun gave a more detailed explanation; he understood Zhengyi Xiaojie's concerns, but the Spiritual Realm Sorcerer System is constantly being refined, and it is impossible to explain it clearly in a few sentences.

"He is right."

Ke Lai En, situated at the very front under the gray mist, gave this fellow, who seemed to be a fellow native, an explanation.

After receiving Mr. Fool's affirmation, Zhengyi Xiaojie's mental guard lowered considerably; after a brief hesitation, she spoke anxiously:

"Fine, but the exact time and place must be set by me; there may be other participants then."

Zhengyi Xiaojie's original idea was to find a shop compartment in a bustling district or a countryside manor, but after careful thought she felt those places were unsuitable.

After much deliberation, the most suitable place was Viscount Ge Lai Lin Te's residence; as a noble of Lu En, his home has plenty of protectors, and I also have a suitable reason to go there, plus I can bring the extraordinary Xiu and Fo Er Si, making it safer.

"Uh, that also seems off; Bai Ta dared to accept the mission to assassinate Ambassador Yin Di Si, so his own strength must be high; Xiu and Fo Er Si probably couldn't protect me."

"No, Ao Dai Li, what are you thinking? Bai Ta isn't a bad person; he's a companion at the Tarot Meeting, and from my observations over these two meetings, he's merely a somewhat lazy, casual, powerful extraordinary being."

Zhengyi Xiaojie's rich inner thoughts were unknown to the others.

Besides Mr. Fool, who can constantly observe everyone via spiritual sight, Lei Ke Dun also can, but at the Tarot Meeting he spent most of his time with his head down, avoiding his secret‑watching eye from passively gathering information on others.

Knowing how to restrain oneself is essential cultivation for a secret‑watcher.

"No problem; once you have the time and place set, just inform me, and I will later give you the summoning incantation for my messenger."

Lei Ke Dun nodded, somewhat surprised by Zhengyi Xiaojie's decision; he had originally thought she would cautiously choose to conduct the private exchange on that spot above the gray mist.

"As someone who has not yet ascended to the position of Great Sovereign above the Spiritual Realm, I have not yet mastered this Spiritual Realm Sorcerer System, and what exactly is the Great Sovereign above the Spiritual Realm? I must find an opportunity to ask Al myself."

Ke Lai En, under the gray mist, pondered briefly; he was also curious about this new casting system and the meaning of the 'Great Sovereign above the Spiritual Realm', perhaps linked to the secret of the gray mist.

After Lei Ke Dun and Zhengyi Xiaojie reached cooperation, the Hanged Man and Xiao Taiyang also exchanged a few words, and the Tarot Meeting concluded.

The figures of the crowd gradually vanished from above the gray mist.

Lei Ke Dun awoke from the armchair in his study, glanced at the sky outside, and felt like taking a nap before getting up.

"A comfortable life leads one to decadence!"

He sighed, yet Lei Ke Dun still chose not to spend the pleasant afternoon sleeping.

His messenger flew out from the Spiritual Realm; without Lei Ke Dun opening anything, it began turning pages on its own and quickly displayed the contents.

Lei Ke Dun didn't even need to look; he knew this was a message from Mr. Huang to himself, concerning only matters related to that angel boss, so his own messenger would appear so servile.

"The library has compiled a batch of new books that need to be copied and sent to the various locations of the Church. The library has only you as an idle person, so remember to write quickly."

Mr. Huang didn't have much to say through the messenger, and after Lei Ke Dun finished reading it, he tossed his own messenger back into the spirit realm.

"What do you mean I'm the only idle one! Clearly I'm the only one who's human!"

He nagged and complained for a couple of sentences.

Lei Ke Dun swiftly set up the ritual, ordering the messenger to bring over the books that needed copying.

Having prepared blank paper and fountain pens for copying, Lei Ke Dun summoned Tu Ba Ge and Crow Anu, each summoning a spirit‑realm creature adept at copying.

Lei Ke Dun skillfully reached an agreement with the spirit‑realm creatures, hiring them to help him copy books for a period of time.

Ke Lai En, holding the extraordinary trait previously extracted from Mo Er Suo, walked to the door of the house opposite the street and gave it two light knocks.

The door was opened quickly, and the very familiar Tu Ba Ge was the one who opened it.

Entering the living room, Ke Lai En saw three spirit‑realm creatures that looked strikingly similar, each holding a round‑bodied fountain pen and copying the book before them onto the white paper.

In the dining room adjoining the living room, A Er and a crow were mixing a pile of fruit and various liquors to make drinks.

"This scene is unexpectedly harmonious!"

Ke Lai En looked at the scene before him and let out a sigh of admiration.

"Find a place to sit wherever you like. Want a drink? I'm experimenting with some alcoholic beverages—would you like to try?"

Lei Ke Dun replied casually with a greeting.

"My pleasure."

Ke Lai En nodded with interest, his response indicating that A Er's technique reminded him of a bartender on Earth.
