Seeing that the "Magician" lady had not yet fully recovered, Caine prompted the dummy "World" to add: "You don't need to be on-site—you can simply summon my historical projection in advance." "...Understood!" the "Magician" Folsom eagerly nodded. At that moment, with Germán Sparrow having taken on his own task, "Moon" Emlyn clearly relaxed. In his perception, this meant the chances of success had risen sharply. The very next second, "World" Germán Sparrow turned to him, his voice hoarse, asking: "What kind of compensation can you offer?" "Moon" Emlyn paused for two seconds, his gaze slightly lifting, and replied: "Once I become the 'Wiz-king,' I'll offer you a promise of unconditional assistance in a similar matter. And as for rewards, I'd like the 'Wiz-king's' exceptional traits. The members of the Rose School, under the Discipline faculty, should also have clear expectations—everything else is yours." "The Moon" gentleman was quite uneasy, lacking confidence... "Justice" Audrey drew a firm conclusion from the man's gestures and words. Emlyn had indeed adopted the same "loan-based consumption" habits as others. Klein chuckled softly and allowed the dummy "World" to respond with a composed tone: "It seems you can only afford me, one half-god at a time." Should "The Moon" gentleman be able to supply ample grain, I'd be willing to join... Audrey murmured this to herself. Yet, she didn't need to speak to know what "The Moon" gentleman would say: Why would our vampire family stockpile so many snacks? ——For us vampires, the primary sustenance is the spiritually rich human blood; bread and meat products are merely optional. Seeing that "World" Germaine Spalro had not declined her terms, "The Moon" Emlyn quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What further requests do you have? I'll do my best to fulfill them." "Germán Sparo thought for a moment, then said: 'Provide a magical item or seal that significantly boosts the holder's spirit in a short period of time.' This is being lent to the 'Magician' lady so she can maintain the images of the historical rifts for a few more minutes. The 'Moon' domain, without a doubt, possesses such exceptional abilities—such as the 'Deep Red Scholar' creating a full moon state to foster spirit and enhance inspiration.' Huffing, 'Moon' Emlin quickly nodded: 'Good, no problem.' Seeing that one human and one vampire had reached an agreement, the 'Magician' Folth raised her hand and said: 'Not the full moon.' Otherwise, she wouldn't just have her spirit boosted—she'd likely perish on the spot, even if it were a lucky break. After all, the higher the sequence, the more effective the 'Gate' gentleman's murmurs become, and Folth had already risen from sequence 6 'Record Keeper' to sequence 5 'Traveler.' Emlyn also knew about the "Magician" lady's "Full Moon Curse," and had no doubts, simply nodding to indicate he would take note. At that moment, the "Hanged Man" Aljer, who had listened to the entire transaction, spoke thoughtfully: "Though the effervescent, emotionally driven members of the 'Rose School' are often controlled by their own emotions and instincts, this doesn't mean their minds have completely vanished—indeed, even if they have, their internal structure still contains 'Lunar' domain exceptionalists. Since their semi-divine counterparts have directly participated in the war on the southern continent and revealed their positions, it's unlikely they haven't considered covert attacks from enemies like the bloodline and the 'Temperance' faction. I believe there's a strong possibility that a trap has been laid." "Agreed," said the "Star" Leonard. "Multiple case files show that although the effervescent, emotionally driven members of the 'Rose School' are renowned for their bloodthirstiness, cruelty, and indulgence, they still demonstrate clear planning and strategic foresight—indicating a certain level of cunning and subtlety." "Judgment" glanced at his friend and added, "Two months ago, I encountered a remarkable transcendental event involving the Rose School—my target clearly felt deceived, caught in a trap." "World" Germaine Sparo listened intently, then smiled and turned to "Moon" Emlin, asking, "Which wizard-king is your target?" Emlin was straightforward: "The wizard-king leading the native tribes of northern Oritel in the east of Bayland to besiege the major colonial cities of Run." Hearing this, Caine suddenly had a thought: "The Desire Tree" seems to also wish to prevent the goddess from establishing the uniqueness of the 'Death' path—He is driving the native tribes, using war, to undermine the Night Church's missionary foundations across the southern continent. In the instant the thought formed, Caine looked from "World" Germaine Sparo to "Moon" Emlin and chuckled, saying, "Then my target will be another wizard-king—this has nothing to do with your actions." "Needn't he be too explicit," the others—Emlyn, the "Moon," and Gauthieria, the "Hermit"—quickly grasped his plan. It was a simple one: Germain Spalro would hunt another "Lord of the Magic," deliberately stepping into the trap, drawing the concealed forces of the Rose Order toward him. At that moment, the "Moon" and the members of the Rose Order specializing in restraint would seize the opportunity to launch a coordinated assault on the true target. "Won't this be too risky?" Emlyn, the "Moon," replied instinctively. Of course, Germain Spalro, the one setting the trap, was at risk. Yet Germain Spalro, the "World," responded with calm composure: "That is merely a historical projection." "He's simply gone—then he's gone." Hearing this, Emlyn the "Moon" and Leonard, the "Star," and the other members of the Tarot Circle found themselves unsure of what expression to adopt—whether to marvel at the distinct nature of the semi-divine figures of Sequence 3, or to feel a quiet admiration for the extraordinary capabilities of the "Ancient Scholar." Klein continued having the dummy "World" speak: "If the Rose School suspects me and only dispatches a portion of their forces to counteract me, while preserving the integrity of the trap, then I will attempt to forcibly pursue that 'King of the Wizards,' turning the false target into a real one. After all, you only need the corresponding items—you don't care who the original owner is." A simple yet effective plan... the key point lies in Germain Sparo needing capabilities beyond ordinary limits, capable of resisting even angels... "Justice" Audrey listened attentively and offered a brief internal assessment. "Moon" Emlin no longer harbored doubts and thought for a moment before saying: "Before our formal action, it would be necessary to meet with representatives from the Rose School's Discipline faction to finalize the details." "World" Germain Sparo nodded: "You shall arrange that." After the exchange, Caine caused the figure of "World" to manifest a stack of papers and distributed them to the members of the Tarot circle: "I and certain entities will be confronting a mythical creature—please share your thoughts and suggestions." The papers detailed the personality and specific behaviors of the dim-wolf Cotar, along with various analyses produced by the "Justice" lady based on that information. Caine hoped to draw inspiration from the diverse perspectives and insights of individuals with different personalities and experiences. Mythical creatures... Has "World" now set its sights on mythical creatures? Despite having a certain psychological preparedness—believing even if "World" Germaine Spalro were to suddenly claim divinity, he wouldn't be surprised—the "Hanged Man" Alje felt a sense of astonishment and subtle shock upon realizing that the figure had indeed made mythical creatures its primary hunting target. He glanced upward, toward the very bottom of the bronze long table. The recluse, Galadriya, also felt the same, but she quickly recalled the "Serpent of Fate," the "Officer of Death," and the "Ancient Beings." This aligned perfectly with the "certain existences" mentioned in the words of the world, Germain Sparo. It was entirely normal for three Archangels, together with one Divine Herald of Sequence 3, to pursue a mythical creature! One by one, the gaze from the bottom of the weathered long table returned to the documents, and members of the Tarot Circle carefully read through the material. For the moment, free from any commission, transaction, or information exchange, the members of the Tarot Circle unexpectedly felt a shared sense of purpose, as if a loose gathering was beginning to take on the feel of an organized body. After reviewing the written content, Aljere, the "Emblem of the Pendulum," spoke first: "According to the analysis provided by the 'Justice' lady, no lure will entice that cautious mythical being—instead, it will only cause Him to retreat even further." "Indeed, given that the mythical being appears to be wielding the extraordinary nature of Sequence 1, there's no real need for Him to pursue anything else—self-improvement is paramount. To counter Him, one must focus solely on that aspect." Hearing this, "Judgment" Xu offered her professional perspective: "Yet this mythical creature is exceptionally cautious, leaving behind no trace at all. And the intelligence indicates that the location for Sequence 1 ritual—set in a god-forgotten realm—is actually quite flexible and not constrained by the environment." "Precisely," confirmed "Sun" Deric, echoing "Judgment" Xu's point. "There are simply too many monsters available for Him to draw upon." The atmosphere instantly grew subdued. "Stars" Leonard paused and then said: "Could we rely on the law of aggregation of extraordinary natures?" He glanced toward Caine Moretti as he spoke. "It seems this mythical being shares the same path as you." "Simply relying on this level of exceptional aggregation capability, it might take a year, two years, or even longer to stumble upon that mythical being through mere chance—especially since the being is a complete mythical entity capable of certain disruptions." Kline rejected Leonard's proposal. Of course, if he incorporated the aggregation power of the "Source Citadel" into his own, he might directly encounter the Umbran Wolf during the next random transfer using the "Staff of Stars." But the issue would then be that the probability of encountering the Wolf's actual form would increase significantly—much more so—making it a classic case of a doorstep delivery. "The Hidden One," Gadelia, listening attentively to the discussion, suggested, considering the Queen's preferences: "Could we leverage the mythical being's esteemed title to establish contact?" "If the Umbral Wolf hadn't been pursued by Amon, this might have been acceptable. But now, given that Amon is undoubtedly aware of this, the fact that the Umbral Wolf hasn't yet fallen speaks volumes—It must have taken deliberate precautions against this very possibility... "World" Germán Sparo slowly shook his head. "With His naturally cautious nature, He certainly wouldn't have set up automatic responses." As soon as he finished speaking, Caine suddenly had an inspiration: The Umbral Wolf's lack of response doesn't mean It isn't paying attention to the corresponding prayer points!
