Chapter 258: Miss Justice Is So Rich!

Lei Kedun was slightly startled; he hadn't expected Xiao Taiyang to ask this question. He had thought the chief of Silver City was trying to use Xiao Taiyang to verify whether a normal world exists beyond the God‑Abandoned Land.

He looked at Xiao Taiyang beside him and smiled lightly, saying:

"Do you expect me to give you the answer just because you already know it, and I should state it outright?"

Xiao Taiyang hesitated for two seconds, surveyed the reactions of those present, and then said:

"Just say it like that."

He saw Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man seemed curious about the question, recalled how everyone had enthusiastically helped him before, and thought satisfying their curiosity would be a kind of repayment.

Lei Kedun nodded lightly:

"No problem, the Fate Angel beside the True Creator you just mentioned is the same being as the Fate Angel recorded in Silver City."

"The True Creator was born from the fall of the 'Creator of All'; it is the embodiment of its negative personality and extreme emotions, thus becoming mad, its essence being an evil spirit of the Ancient Sun God."

The scene fell silent for a moment; Xiao Taiyang struggled to digest the information, and after a while he managed to speak with difficulty:

"I understand, thank you, Mr. White Tower. I wonder what kind of reward you require?"

"Well, when you go out exploring, keep an eye out for any traits or monsters associated with Generalists or Secret‑Seekers' paths."

Lei Kedun hesitated briefly, then offered a condition casually; he wasn't particularly concerned about the reward, but thought refusing it would be improper.

The free ones are the most expensive; if we do that, the chief of Silver City would surely have many conjectures.

The True Creator was born from the fall of the Ancient Sun God; the True Creator once opposed the Six Gods, so is the fall of the Ancient Sun God related to those Six Gods?

The Sun's authority clearly belongs to the Ancient Sun God; the All‑Knowing Reader and the All‑Powerful Secret Prayerer together form the title All‑Knowing All‑Powerful.

What role do that goddess, the Mother Earth, and the Storm Lord play in this? Allies?

At the head of the bronze long table, Klein fell into a brain storm.

Seeing that his exchange with Xiao Taiyang had ended and no one else spoke, Lei Kedun continued to ask about their exploration inside that temple.

Dairike gave an unreserved, detailed account of the whole process, including the Enmate Port mentioned by the little boy Jack, and the human face on his chest and abdomen.

What a thrilling adventure story; I don't even need to make many edits—it's already a perfect tale.

No, that's not allowed; if members of the Tarot Society saw it, my identity would be exposed. Hmm. It seems more than one member has already guessed my identity, so I can't let everyone know.

Foersi was completely immersed in the story Xiao Taiyang recounted; she even entertained the idea of writing it out and publishing it in a magazine.

Emulin was bewildered for almost the entire time; from "Redeeming Rose" and "Fate Angel" onward, he couldn't follow.

After hearing Xiao Taiyang's account, Audrey's mind kept recalling the eight Angel Kings previously mentioned, the eight Angel Kings closest to the Creator's throne?

Audrey felt inexplicably excited and, unable to contain her curiosity, asked:

"Mr. Sun, what are the titles and names of the other six Angel Kings?"

"The chief didn't say, and I didn't dare ask."

Xiao Taiyang and Dairike responded shyly.

"I really want to know the answer." Audrey's gaze turned to Lei Kedun. "Mr. White Tower is the most learned; he should know a lot, right?"

Sensing Audrey's gaze on him, Lei Kedun glanced back, then chuckled lightly and said:

"The remaining are the Red Angel, Wind Angel, Wisdom Angel, and Pure White Angel. As for more, you'll learn later."

"They were once Angel Kings, but not forever."

"They're not always Angel Kings; did some fall from their rank, or did others ascend further to the throne? Audrey's mind kept flooding with speculations that could be considered blasphemous."

"Are the Wind Angel and Wisdom Angel the current Knowledge God and Storm Lord? Then is the Eternal Burning Sun the Pure White Angel? Klein pondered the entities closer to the Sun's attribute and finally settled on the Pure White Angel."

"Heh, as a follower of the Knowledge God, and being so close to the Aurora that worships the True Creator, are you trying to backstab your own deity's leader?"

Klein's gaze fell on Lei Kedun, who lounged lazily against the chair back, and he muttered two insults inwardly.

After insulting Lei Kedun, Klein began to manipulate his little side world and said:

"Everyone, I have an extraordinary trait for sale; it belongs to a Sequence Six Faceless being. If forged into a wondrous item, it could grant changes to appearance and physique, along with combat, fire‑control abilities."

He gave a slightly more detailed description, since the Tarot Society has members who can craft wondrous items, perhaps it could be sold outright.

"Changing appearance and physique? That overlaps with the function of my previous wondrous item." Audrey sighed silently in her mind.

After this incident, her Exceptional status was exposed to her family, but it also earned her father's support, allowing her to reimburse her occult expenses within reasonable limits.

"£3,300."

Lei Kedun quoted the price outright, intending to purchase the Faceless trait; this is the wondrous item he promised Teshi could alter one's appearance.

"Deal."

Klein, still manipulating his side world, nodded in agreement.

Although the price was haggled down a bit, compared to selling through Mr. Hanged Man and paying a commission, I can earn more gold pounds this way.

After Lei Kedun completed the transaction with the world, Audrey lifted her hand slightly and said:

"Mr. White Tower, do you have any uniquely powerful or useful wondrous items to recommend?"

"If there's something suitable, I'd like to purchase one."

Miss Justice is so rich! Foersi, not far from Audrey, let out a cry of poverty.

"Uniquely powerful?" Lei Kedun rubbed his chin with his thumb, pondering his existing traits, and shook his head slightly, saying:

"There are some, but they're not suitable for you."

"Well, how about this: wait a moment. I've received a revelation and will head to the sea soon; I need the extraordinary ability of that route, and I'll just ask the pirates for it then."

"Is that allowed?" Audrey blinked in astonishment, eyes wide with disbelief.

Then, with a slightly curious tone, she said:

"Mr. Hanged Man has described some conditions at sea; the pirate kings and pirate generals there are very powerful. If we hunt pirates recklessly at sea, wouldn't that provoke their hostility?"

What she really wanted to ask was how his strength compared to those pirate generals and even pirate kings.

Mr. White Tower could speak so arrogantly just now; has he been promoted recently? Is he now Sequence Five or Sequence Four?

Having caught the meaning in Miss Justice's words, Lei Kedun said with a smile:

Although not everyone can win, escaping is still no problem.

The Reader's Path has a very fitting description: 'Because of omniscience, therefore omnipotence.' At my sequence, the extraordinary ones of the Reader's Path have no obvious shortcomings.

He recently got promoted? It's likely sequence five, maybe even sequence four Hanged Man is guessing in his heart what sequence Leciton is now.

Because of omniscience, therefore omnipotence. Sounds powerful! I remember that the Audience and the Reader's Path can be interchangeable.

Um, what am I thinking? The Audience is the most suitable path for me; only when I cannot advance in sequence four of the Audience path will I consider other paths.

He slightly shook his head, gathered his thoughts, Audrey turned to all members and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have news of the fruit of the Elder Tree and the blood of the Mirror Dragon?"

"Yes." Emlyn answered without hesitation.

This is a material he had encountered before at a certain vampire gathering.

Before Miss Justice could happily follow up, he just blurted out:

"The price of the Elder Tree's fruit is between 500 and 700 pounds, and the Mirror Dragon's blood does not exceed 100 pounds."

"But you have to pay me an extra 100 pounds as compensation, you know, I must bear the risk and waste time for this."

"Deal!" Audrey happily chose to accept.

Although she knew she could bargain for this herself, she felt it unnecessary; she hoped to reach the deal as soon as possible.

After participating in a transaction himself, Emlyn gradually became familiar with it; seeing that no one had initiated a new transaction, he somewhat eagerly asked:

"Everyone, who knows how the vampire highness can increase strength without relying on gifts from elders?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt gazes fall upon him.

Before Emlyn was at a loss under the gaze of the Tarot Society members, Leciton responded:

"The main ingredients for this path's potion are only two: one, the characteristics corresponding to your vampire clan's rank; two, the human characteristics of those who advance by consuming the potion."

"Why?" Emlyn asked instinctively.

Leciton glanced at that guy, not knowing if he truly didn't know or just hadn't reacted yet.
