Chapter 42 Chapter6 The long-lost Tarot Club
"What's wrong?" Klein looked at Alice who suddenly stopped with a puzzled look on his face.
"Emm..." Alice hesitated to speak.
"?" Klein's eyes were confused.
"Anyway, I can draw comics." Alice decided not to show Klein that pile of stuff for the time being, at least until she figured out who the other protagonist in the painting was.
"If you don't worry about your identity, you can try to submit to the magazine?" Klein gave a serious suggestion, "But what exactly are you drawing?"
"... Can we change the topic?" Alice felt a little collapsed, "Really, don't talk about my paintings anymore, let's talk about something else, anything is fine."
"... OK," Klein was very puzzled, but it was the first time he saw Alice resist a topic so much. Thinking that it was not an important matter anyway, he would ask again when he had the chance, so he suppressed his curiosity for the time being, "Next, I will introduce you to the advantages and disadvantages of different areas in Backlund..."
With Klein's introduction, Alice gradually understood the differences between different areas in Backlund.
First, Alice ruled out the Queens and West Districts, which had the best security and the strictest supervision. These two areas belonged to the nobles and wealthy businessmen, and were definitely not areas that Alice could consider.
Next, Alice ruled out several factory areas, dock areas, and Backlund Bridge areas—they didn't sound like places to live.
In addition, the East District, where the poor gathered, was also ruled out after Alice learned about the slums of this era.
As for the remaining districts... In addition to the Hills District, which is the economic, commercial, and financial center of Loen, and the Joewood District, which is full of small companies and many residential areas, Klein also suggested that Alice rule out the North District. There was no other reason, simply because St. Samuel's Church was there.
After instructing Alice, Klein heard from Alice about the reasons and consequences of her obtaining an identity certificate. The unknown angel cast a shadow on the mood of the two people... Well, there are enough shadows, and I don't care about one more.
At the end of the topic, Alice suddenly made a request she had never made before: "Next time you collect Roselle's diary, can you let me see it too?"
"Of course, no problem, but why are you suddenly interested in Roselle's diary?" Klein did not refuse, but still asked curiously.
"Because before, I just wanted to get my memory back," Alice's voice was so light that it seemed like nothing, "but now I find that maybe I need strength."
...
Compared to Alice who decided to lie down for a while before working hard, the hardworking Mr. Fool had to start holding a party after recovering his spirituality - ah, this might be the pain of being a cult leader.
Above the gray fog, Audrey was about to start greeting happily, but Alger spoke first: "Mr. Fool, I got a total of 19 pages of Roselle's diary this time. Here, I must thank you for sending your followers to help me get rid of Qilingos. These diaries are the reward I should pay!"
Followers? Where did he get his followers? Or followers who can get rid of Qilingos? Alice looked at Klein in astonishment, even ignoring that such an obvious action would attract the attention of the other three.
Klein, who was sitting at the head, was hidden in the gray fog, and his eyes seemed to be unintentionally looking at Alice. Alice suddenly realized her loss of composure, lowered her head, and restrained her emotions.
"This is the principle of equivalent exchange." Mr. Fool's calm voice came.
"My current memory limit is six pages. Please allow me to give it to you in several times." Although he was a little confused about Alice's attitude, Alger still responded humbly.
"No problem." Klein, who was shrouded in thick gray fog, nodded gently.
After reading the diary, Klein smiled lowly and calmly: "Roselle mentioned some covered history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I don't seem to have told you."
Huh? Alice raised her eyebrows in surprise and sat up a little straighter. She glanced at the others and found that even the Hanged Man's posture was much more serious than hers. She could only sit a little straighter.
——This obvious abnormality certainly could not be hidden from others.
But even Audrey would not ask questions about this. Audrey just looked at Klein excitedly: "Mr. Fool, what common sense did Emperor Roselle bring up? I can pay for this information."
Klein chuckled and said, "No need, this is all simple common sense. After seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the Tarot Club, I think I must let you all know. Of course, I know very well that some of you have already mastered it."
He won't use my information to sell favors, right? Alice suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Thank you so much! Mr. Fool, you are so generous!" Audrey responded happily.
Klein stopped tapping his fingers and described in a flat tone: "The first common sense, the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics, extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed, will not be reduced, but will only be transferred from one thing to another."
While chewing on this law, Audrey looked at others: Mr. Sun and Mr. Hanged Man had no abnormal expressions. It seemed that they had known this law for a long time. Miss Fate... Miss Fate was looking at Mr. Fool with a questioning look? !
Noticing Audrey's gaze, Alice turned her head. She raised her lips and eyebrows with a half-smile, glanced at Klein in the gray fog, and watched Audrey add what Klein had not finished saying:
"After the death of an Extraordinary, the Extraordinary characteristics will precipitate from the corpse. If the Extraordinary dies normally, the Extraordinary characteristics can be used as the main material of the potion. If it is the remains of an out-of-control Extraordinary after the death, the spirit on it needs to be removed first. Pollution - of course, you can also consider making it into magical items."
Alice's words were like a thunderbolt in Audrey's heart. She finally understood why Alice and Alger were unwilling to reveal what substitute materials were given to her before - what is the difference between this and cannibalism?
They are Extraordinary beings who also have the extraordinary characteristics of walking and being hunted... Audrey looked at Klein with the last glimmer of hope. However, Klein in the gray mist did not express anger at Alice's attitude. Likewise, Nor did he deny what Alice said.
For the first time, she realized what kind of place the extraordinary world was. Unlike Alice, who was ignorant of all this, Audrey was obviously shocked, but she quickly calmed down with self-soothing.
After everything calmed down, Klein threw out a second law: "The second common sense, the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within a similar sequence."
It’s not that I don’t want Klein to watch it, but I’m afraid that after Klein has finished watching it, I will think about it next time I see Amon, and Amon casually discovers that Klein is the man of his dreams (…), I really can’t come back from this, I say Really, if you have the chance, you can consider writing it into a drama or a spin-off or something. I really can’t get enough of the main text (…)
Klein will definitely see it, but not now, I have already prepared the fan art (what), there is no fan art because I can't draw (...)
