It was clear to Caine why the Lady Justice was looking at him. Anyone familiar with the Lan'urus incident would surely assume that he and the "True Maker" had been engaged in numerous, both overt and subtle, conflicts, and that it was entirely reasonable—for him to possess such items, especially in quantity. Logically, her assumption made perfect sense. And in truth, through my repeated interactions with the "True Maker," I have accumulated several items that match her description. Caine sighed internally. As to whether or not to help the little "Sun," it was never in question. The "Land of the Forgotten Gods," where the Silver City stood, was home to numerous monsters and thus could gather a wealth of extraordinary materials now quite rare on both the northern and southern continents. Moreover, its history had never been interrupted or distorted by any deity or church, offering a clear and authentic portrayal of the stories and secrets from before the great catastrophe. It held a vast amount of invaluable knowledge—whether from the standpoint of the Tarot Society's leadership or simply from a purely pragmatic interest, there was no way, as long as there remained even a glimmer of hope, that Cline would abandon the little "Sun" or the Silver City. "Items infused with the spirit of 'the True Creator'—polluted by spiritual decay?" The "Hanged Man" Aljer pondered, organizing his thoughts. "This might help 'the Sun.' The exploration team members whose thoughts and perspectives have already been warped—once they sense the presence of the True Creator's spirit nearby—will likely undergo sudden transformations on the spot." "The World" turned to "the Sun," wheezing a laugh. "Little one, I can lend you that item—but what can you offer in return?" Seeing hope, Derek's mind raced. He suddenly remembered something from the earlier gathering and quickly replied, "I can help you gather the characteristics of human skin shadows, the cerebral atrophy of the Many-Faced Hunters, one of their bloodlines, and also attempt to find a method to cleanse the items of the uncontrolled spirits' spiritual contamination. Whichever one you secure first, I'll offer it as payment." Among these, the human-skin shadow is relatively easier to encounter, belonging to the more terrifying types of monsters dwelling in the depths of darkness. At this very moment, Deric is not primarily concerned with whether the value is equivalent. Although, under normal circumstances, a single item contaminated by the true creator of reality would clearly fall short of the conditions he has proposed, he is now willing to accept any premium price the other party offers—so it would be better to proactively demonstrate his sincerity. "World" gently nodded. "Very well. I will ask the 'Fool' to assist, and lend it to you." As he spoke, he manifested the form of "The Eye of Pure Black," adding, "It is equivalent to a unique being of sequence 5. Should you lose it, you will need to provide compensation. Furthermore, upon completion of this matter, you must return it immediately." That was the very thing that the "Fool" Kline could not utter—such a divine, hidden presence, if he constantly spoke only of "compensation" and "remembering what is owed," his very dignity would plummet from the heavens to the ground. Moreover, Kline had also considered potential future risks: items like the "Eye of All Black" belonged to the types he had personally used in the real world. Should he later bring in new members who were made aware of this, they could verify certain details from this very fact. Thus, Sherlock Moriarty as "the World" clearly outshone Sherlock Moriarty as "the Fool." When one's strength fails to match one's rank, one can only hesitate, tread carefully, remain ever vigilant, and feel as though standing at the edge of a deep chasm—"The Fool," Kline silently remarked. Seeing that the "Fool" had neither rejected the request for "the World" nor raised any objection about the terms of the exchange, Deric breathed a sigh of relief and promptly agreed to all the demands. At the same time, Audrey, embodying justice, was genuinely delighted by the young "Sun." The "Hangings" Alje paused thoughtfully, exhaled slowly, and carefully addressed the "Sun": "Don't be overly optimistic—specific actions must be carefully managed. First, choose the right moment, ensuring you don't find yourself in peril. Ideally, only one member of the exploration team should be present, while the rest of the inhabitants of Silver City are numerous—or perhaps even imprisoned or sealed away. You must prepare in advance by using the Wall of Spirit to seal the container housing the object, so that no one directly notices it. This way, you can maintain full control over the unfolding events. Additionally, you must plan how to conceal the object afterward, ensuring that the 'Council of Six' doesn't discover it, or else you won't be able to clear your own嫌疑. If that easy-to-deceive one dies, I'll have a hard time gaining access to the information about the 'God-Abandoned Lands' or the ancient secrets. Honestly, I don't see any issue with offering my assistance." Under his guidance, "The Sun" Deric gradually developed a clear plan and identified several key points to attend to. "Thank you, Mr. The Tower, thank you, thank you all," he sincerely expressed his gratitude to the Tarot circle, which filled "Justice" Audrey with a deep sense of satisfaction. With that, the matter of "The Sun" was concluded. Suddenly, "The Magician" Firth, having witnessed the entire process, had an idea. She brushed her wavy hair and said, "I'd like to know which family the 'Apprentice' path belongs to. I'm willing to exchange one chapter from *Visions of the Spirit World* for it. Though it's often regarded as the Tower's fanciful musings, based on my several visits to the spirit realm, I believe it contains many authentic descriptions." "The *Visions of the Spirit World* is one of the esoteric notebooks left behind by Mrs. Anelisa. Its content is logically disordered and absurd—merely reading it can drive one mad. Yet, after three physical journeys into the spirit world, Folshe realized that perhaps it records not mere ramblings. *Visions of the Spirit World?* "The Fool," Klein gently leaned back, stepping in before the "Turned Over" could respond: "I know the answer, and I can offer you some relevant news at no cost." He was well aware that the "Turned Over" could also answer the "Magician's" questions. Competition was never pleasant—now, every answer came with a gift... Klein quietly muttered under his breath. "Very good," Folshe beamed with delight. She found the Tarot circle indeed far more refined than the other extraordinary circles she had previously attended—many of her difficult questions found clear answers here. At that moment, the "World" asked quietly: "Do you wish that only you hear the answer, or should everyone be able to?" For several seconds, "The Magician" Fols thought deeply, and surprisingly to "Justice" Odile and the others, she said: "Let it be as it is." In her view, the answer to her own question offered little benefit to others; it made no difference if they knew it. Should the "World" gentleman omit something or describe it incompletely, she could then use the corresponding chapter of her "Visions from the Spirit Realm" to seek further clarification. She believed this to be more important. "The World" spoke with calm, low tones: "During the Fourth Age, the 'Apprentice' path was held by the Abraham family, later passing into the Tamara family through their long-standing marital alliances. In the Fifth Age—our current age—the 'Society of Spiritual Knowledge' also possesses 'Apprentice' and 'Master of Tricks' potion formulas, widely believed to be connected to both the Abraham and Tamara families. Of course, some suspect that the 'Society of Spiritual Knowledge' may actually be a disguise adopted by the 'Society of Sorceresses.' Considering that the 'Magician' Miss has already encountered members of the Abraham family, Klein prompted the 'World' to add: 'It is said that the Abraham family has long endured a bloodline curse, forcing them to live dispersedly in order to avoid the danger.' Bloodline curse? Miss Folsom's eyes instantly widened, recalling her own experiences. Mr. Anelisa, the husband of the Lady Anelisa, belonged to the Abraham family, and so did Mr. Lawrence?" So she said that no one outside this family would be cursed—but I used that bracelet, which belonged to the Abraham family! Firth was once again overwhelmed by regret. Neither "The Hanged Man" Aljer nor "Justice" Audrey had heard of the lineage curse of the Abraham family before, each forming their own thoughts, remaining silent for a while. After a pause, "The Magician" Firth took a deep breath and said: "Thank you, Mr. World, you have resolved my greatest doubt. In the first chapter of *Visions of the Spirit World*, I will transcribe a copy and offer it as a sacrifice to Mr. The Fool. Mr. The Fool, would that be acceptable?" ... So "The Magician" is a descendant of the Abraham family? That explains how she could move freely between the physical and spiritual realms—she must possess the corresponding magical artifact. "The Hanged Man" suddenly turned to face her. Is Firth indeed a descendant of the Abraham family? Was she born into an ancient family traceable to the Quaternary period? "Justice" Audrey nodded thoughtfully. After receiving a positive response from "The Fool," "The Magician" Folshe relaxed and began seeking extraordinary materials—"The Gastrointestinal Sacs of the Spirit Beings" and "The Blood of the Deep-Sea Gunfish"—though "The Sun" had not yet gone out, so no acquisitions had been made, and "The Pendulum" only mentioned that there were leads on "The Blood of the Deep-Sea Gunfish." The elixir formula of "The Wind-Attuned" remained unclaimed as well. "Justice" Audrey did not immediately pursue "The Psychologist's" formula, as she was about to join the Psychological Alchemy Guild. Klein had originally intended to sell one of the werewolf's unique traits and a vial of biological toxin, but considering the compatibility of the latter with the spiritual state and the current financial situation of the members, he postponed that plan. The transactions concluded swiftly, and the gathering moved into the phase of sharing individual experiences and insights. "Justice" Audrey glanced slowly around, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "Last week, in Beckett, there was an interesting case featuring a protagonist known as the daring thief, 'Black Emperor.'
