6 Tarot Club

"You can address me as The Fool."

The simple answer soon emanated through the grand hall and

dissipated into the fog. However, the voice kept resonating in

Audrey's and Alger's hearts, stirring up one ripple after

another.

They never expected such a designation, but they felt that he

was deserving of it. The designation perfectly embodied his

image as someone mysterious, powerful, and bizarre!

After a few seconds of silence, Audrey stood up, held up her

skirt slightly and bent her knees, curtseying to Klein.

"Honorable Mr. Fool, would you please permit me to take the

liberty of requesting you to be the witness of our trade?"

Klein in first time can't differentiate between real and fake potion formula but now he can act like a real witness.

I also feel like I am an existence who recovering his power.

"It's nothing." klein 's mind whirred as he answered

in a way that matched his status.

"It's our honor, Mr. Fool." Alger stood up as well. He bent his

back slightly with his right palm over his chest.

Klein lowered his right palm and smiled.

"Continue, the both of you."

Alger nodded and sat back down before looking at Audrey.

"If you can obtain the Ghost Shark's blood, get someone to

send it to the Warrior & Sea Bar at Pelican Street, in the White

Rose Borough of Pritz Harbor. Tell the boss, Williams, that it's

what the 'Captain' wants.

"Once I acknowledge receipt, will you be giving me an

address to mail the potion formula to or do you want me to tell

it to you here directly?"

Audrey thought for a moment before saying with a smile, "I

will choose the more secure method. Let's do it here, although

it's a test of my memory."

Since Mr. Fool had agreed to bear witness for the trade, it also

represented that there would be a similar 'Gathering' the next

time.

With this in mind, she suddenly turned her head as she looked

at Klein with sparkling eyes. With a tone of interest,

she suggested, "Mr. Fool, would you mind making a few more

'attempts' like this?"

Alger listened to her suggestion calmly; he was tempted by the

suggestion as well. He hurriedly echoed, "Mr. Fool, don't you

find such 'Gatherings' interesting? Although your powers

exceed our imaginations, there has to be certain domains that

you don't understand or excel in. The person across me is

obviously a young lady of lofty stature. I also have my unique

set of experiences, insights, mediums, and resources. Perhaps

there will come a day when both of us can help you complete

something trivial that might be inconvenient for you."

From his point of view, the fact that he had been pulled into

this space without any warning or any means to resist meant

that the mysterious Mr. Fool was in control. Participating in

the 'Gatherings' was not necessarily something he could

refuse. Therefore, it was better to reap the benefits of this

encounter as much as he could to make up for his passive and

disadvantaged state.

The trio at the long table had different backgrounds, resources,

information channels, and comprehension of the mystical

domain. If they interacted and enjoyed some limited

cooperation, they could produce unpredictable and

immeasurable effects!

The resource trade that had just been negotiated was one

example. Another example would be if he wished to kill

someone. He could easily request the Gathering's members

who did not appear to be related to him both on the surface

and in reality for help. He could perfectly misdirect any

investigators.

A young lady of lofty stature… Was my behavior and accent

that obvious? Audrey stared blankly, mouth slightly agape, but she soon jolted back to her senses and nodded her head

without any hesitation.

"Mr. Fool, I think it's a very good suggestion. As long as this

Gathering becomes regular, you can totally leave certain

things that are inconvenient for you to us. Of course, it has to

be something within our capacities."

You don't need to suggest me. I was going to pull above even if you refuse Mr. Hanged man. Klein thought in mind.

"I'm a person who likes a fair and equal exchange.

"Your help will not go unrewarded.

"Every Monday at three in the afternoon, try your best to be

alone. After I make a few more attempts. In future you can apply for a leave of absence ahead of

time. You will no longer need to worry about being in

inappropriate situations."

This was a form of agreement to Alger's and Audrey's

suggestions.

"And you can tell the formula here now. You don't need to worry about anything." Klein wanted her to become an beyonder early so he need to speak more

Audrey had just turned seventeen. Having been taken care of

her entire life, she had the character of a young girl. Therefore,

she could not help but clench her fist and gradually pump it in

front of her chest when she heard The Fool's reply.

Without waiting for Alger to say a word, Audrey said in

excitement, her eyes glowing, "Then, shall we give ourselves

call signs? After all, we can't use our real names for

conversation."

Although I might not be able to deceive Mr. Fool regarding my

true identity, the person opposite me poses some danger. I

must not let him know who I am!

"Good idea," answered Klein in a simple and relaxed

manner.

Audrey's mind immediately began whirring as she aired her

thoughts as they came to her.

"You are Mr. Fool which is derived from tarot cards. Then, as

a fixed, long-term, and secretive 'Gathering,' we should be

uniform in our designations. Yes, I'll also choose one from the

tarot cards."

Her tone slowly turned joyous.

"I've decided. My designation shall be 'Justice!'"

It was one of the twenty-two Major Arcana tarot cards.

"What about you, Mister?" Audrey cheekily smiled at her

'partner' sitting across her.

Alger frowned slightly before relaxing it immediately.

"The Hanged Man."

It was another Major Arcana card.

"Alright, then we can be considered as the founding members

of the Tarot Club!".
