Chapter 351: Luo Sai Er Diary

After finishing her round of greetings, "Justice" Odairi turned again toward the figure at the head of the mottled long table and said, "\"Fool\" Mr., this time I have only collected one page of the Luo Sai Er Diary."

The Luo Sai Er Diary. "\"Fool\" Mr. is indeed collecting these diaries; can he understand this strange script?"

"Hermit" Jia De Li Ya pondered for a moment, and after "Justice" Odairi returned to her seat, she mimicked Odairi's earlier motion, rose, bowed to the figure at the head of the mottled long table, and said:

"\"Fool\" Mr., I have collected some diaries of Emperor Luo Sai Er; I wonder how I should present them to you?"

Huh? The "Hermit" lady also has a Luo Sai Er diary? Isn't this her first time attending the Tarot gathering? Ke Lai En's puzzled gaze lingered on Jia De Li Ya for a moment before quickly withdrawing.

She addresses Emperor Luo Sai Er with great respect, as if he is more of an admirable elder in her mind? Moreover, she collects his diaries. It seems the rumors are unfounded; she hasn't truly broken with the Mysterious Queen, and the two even maintain some contact. The diary in her hand likely comes from the Mysterious Queen.

Neither one nor the other takes my words as the "Fool" seriously, and in an instant they relay the information to that Mysterious Queen Ke Lai En; his gaze drifts between Lei Ke Dun and Jia De Li Ya, and he has already figured out what's happening.

"Hanged Man" A'erjie slightly adjusted his posture, and one thought after another rose in his mind—could it be her? Rumor has it that the Star General has long since broken with the Mysterious Queen, but that's only gossip and may not be true.

She wasn't particularly surprised that those notes of Luo Sai Er are actually diaries, and she continues to collect them despite being unable to decipher them. Unless the diaries hold extra significance for her, such as delivering them to the Mysterious Queen.

"Justice" Odairi's gaze inadvertently swept over Jia De Li Ya. The "Hermit" lady already has Emperor Luo Sai Er's diary at her first Tarot gathering? She already knows the "Fool" Mr. is collecting these, or perhaps she herself has a deep connection with Emperor Luo Sai Er, or out of curiosity, she habitually gathers such items?

After a brief thought, before "Fool" Ke Lai En responded, she slightly raised her hand to give an answer:

"All we need is to remember each character; \"Fool\" Mr. will help us manifest it."

"\"Fool\" Mr. follows the principle of equivalent exchange; we can use Luo Sai Er's diary to obtain some knowledge or assistance from him. Of course, it requires equivalence, and you can also accumulate these contributions to exchange for greater aid."

As it manifested, Jia De Li Ya was momentarily stunned, then gently nodded, indicating she understood. This is entirely different from the presentation she expected—more mysterious and harder to fathom.

As for equivalent exchange, whether it truly is equal—doesn't that all depend on the decision of "Fool" Mr.?

After a slight hesitation, she spoke calmly:

"I understand, but I only recall the contents of one diary page; the rest will have to wait until the next gathering."

At the head of the mottled long table, the figure shrouded in dense gray mist—Ke Lai En—leaned back slightly, his tone leisurely, as if unconcerned, and said:

"Fine."

Soon, Ke Lai En finished reading the Luo Sai Er Diary presented by the Tarot members; he casually leaned back, and the manifested diary in his hand vanished automatically. He glanced around the group, smiled, and said, "You may begin."

With the "Fool" Mr.'s approval, "Moon" Ai Mu Lin shifted his sitting posture; even though he suppressed his voice, his excitement was evident as he said, "\"Hanged Man\" Mr., I am ready. When can you obtain the inheritance of that vampire baron? You mentioned last time that it's in the hands of a Great Pirate."

The Great Pirate—could he be the Storm Church's spy among pirates? "Hermit" Jia De Li Ya glanced sideways, casting a glance toward where "Hanged Man" A'erjie was seated.

"Hanged Man" A'erjie kept his expression, looked toward the "Moon" Ai Mu Lin beside him, and said calmly:

"I will obtain it for you within this week. Finally, let's confirm the price: 4,000 pounds, no problem? And my commission, 300 pounds."

If it weren't for the White Tower's reminder to this vampire last time, I would have quoted 4,500 pounds directly. The "Hanged Man" thought that because of Lei Ke Dun's previous reminder, he earned 500 pounds less, and felt a bit annoyed.

"Moon" Ai Mu Lin's expression stiffened, then he bit his lip and said:

"Fine."

The Earth Church's dedication to reforming vampires is truly persistent. "Hermit" Jia De Li Ya's gaze lingered briefly on "Moon" Ai Mu Lin, and she silently sighed in her mind. Sitting to the right of "Moon" Ai Mu Lin, with an empty seat between, Lei Ke Dun rubbed his chin; having little need at the Tarot gathering, his thoughts drifted naturally: dealing with the primitive Moonlight believers could be addressed by seeking vampire assistance through Ai Mu Lin; regarding the reclamation of vampire traits, they would surely be eager to develop the cult‑infested Southern Continent—it's not easy at all!

After a brief silence, Dai Li Ke, the "Sun" beside Lei Ke Dun, slightly raised his right hand and said:

"Who among you has the fruit of the Radiant Spirit Tree?"

He had already obtained the Sun Priest's demonic elixir formula from Lei Ke Dun last week, but still couldn't gather all the ingredients.

Lei Ke Dun's gaze subconsciously flicked toward the head of the mottled long table where Ke Lai En sat, his restless hunger grazing souls that followed a solar route. It seemed to be a Light Sacrificer? Unfortunately, the little Sun is only Sequence Eight.

After a brief moment with no response, "Hermit" Jia De Li Ya decided to intervene in a transaction; she slightly changed her posture and then said:

"I have 【it】; what can you offer in exchange?"

Lei Ke Dun clearly felt the little Sun to his right becoming emotionally agitated; he said sincerely, "I can provide a list of common monsters around Silver City, and you can select the materials you need from it."

Silver City? What place is that? Jia De Li Ya was slightly puzzled, but quickly steadied her emotions and, in a calm voice, said:

"I need to see which common monsters are around Silver City before deciding."

"Alright."

The little Sun Dai Li Ke, under the gaze of the Tarot members, did not hesitate to comply with Jia De Li Ya's request.

"Sun" Mr. truly remains as simple as ever. "Justice" Odairi silently sighed in her heart.

What a foolish guy. "Moon" Ai Mu Lin looked down on the little Sun's naive character with contempt.

He originally intended to warn the other, but recalling their previous argument, he felt a bit irritated. This foolish guy truly deserves to be exploited by those cunning humans.

Soon, the Tarot gathering's trading segment entered its final stage.

"Magician" Fo Si and "Hanged Man" A'erjie originally intended to make purchases, but one was broke and the other was wary of Jia De Li Ya; during today's trades, they were essentially just observers.

Seeing that today's trading segment was about to end, Ke Lai En manipulated his avatar "World", looked around, and in a hoarse voice said:

"I need the eye of a six-winged gargoyle."

"Hermit" Jia De Li Ya glanced at the unusually somber and restrained "World"—caused by Ke Lai En's unskilled handling—and said at a steady pace:

"300 pounds, or gold coins of equivalent value."

She had noticed that previous trades used Rune gold pounds, so she deliberately altered her wording.

Indeed, as the commander of a pirate crew backed by a massive force, Ke Lai En sighed inwardly, then, controlling "World", responded in a low tone, "Fine."

After a brief silence, Ke Lai En saw no further trade requests and let out a light laugh, saying:

"You may converse freely."
