A few minutes later, Klein made the information in his hand disappear and said with a smile, "You can start now!"
Emlyn couldn't wait to say to "The Emperor", "I've thought it over. I'm going to buy the 'Potion Professor' characteristic from you."
Hobert nodded slightly, "As I said before, you helped me facilitate the deal with the vampires, so I'll give you another 500 pounds discount, selling it to you for 3,000 pounds."
Vampires? Cattleya frowned slightly. Now that he was a priest of the Church of the Earth Mother, would the vampires still trust him?
"No problem!" Emlyn said grandly. He had just received a 7,000-pound draft from Lord Nibbs, which was the Marquis's reward for facilitating the deal.
Emlyn also realized that this reward was too generous, but he accepted it immediately, because he knew that this was Lord Nibbs's funding and test for him.
Moreover, he had already figured out how to spend the 7,000 pounds: 1,000 pounds to buy a puppet he had been eyeing for a long time, as well as several sets of clothes for the puppet, and 3,000 pounds to buy the characteristic.
As for the last 3,000 pounds: "Mr. Emperor, I would like to initiate a second transaction. Who betrayed the Ancestor!"
Cattleya frowned slightly again: Ancestor? Lilith, the Sanguine Ancestor? What 'betrayed the Ancestor'? Could it be that 'The Emperor' actually knows some secrets between the ancient gods?
"Okay," Hobert said with a smile, "According to the quote from the last gathering, 3,000 pounds, is that acceptable?"
"No problem!" Emlyn said grandly.
Audrey smiled slightly: It seems that Mr. Hanged Man's guidance worked. Mr. Moon must have received the support of a Sanguine big shot, and suddenly become so rich.
She followed up, "Mr. Moon, I am willing to contribute 500 pounds to join this transaction."
"You don't have to pay a penny to join the transaction," Emlyn said, "This is a reward for helping me pay the auditing fee at the last gathering."
Audrey did not refuse. She smiled and said, "You are a generous gentleman!"
Emlyn unconsciously raised his chin.
Alger said, "I am also willing to contribute 500 pounds to join the transaction."
"You only need to contribute 300 pounds to join," Emlyn said, "This is a reward for providing guidance at the last gathering."
Alger smiled slightly, "As expected of a Sanguine, very trustworthy."
Emlyn raised his chin even higher.
Hobert smiled aside: Just keep praising him.
"Little Sun" Derrick also hoped to use two Sequence 8-level main ingredients to join the transaction. Emlyn said, "Three, use three to replace 700 pounds to join the transaction."
Klein smiled slightly: Your double standard is too obvious.
But everyone had no objections. Emlyn even thought that "The Sun" would withdraw from the transaction, but he didn't expect that even "The Sun" had no objections.
This was because Emlyn was not clear about the exchange ratio of Beyonder ingredients between City of Silver and the outside world. Now "The Sun" had already gathered the main ingredients for "Solar High Priest" in advance, and only needed to completely digest the potion to advance.
For him, there was no burden at all now. Three pieces and two pieces were no different.
Fors also joined the transaction with 500 pounds. Last week, Hobert gave her another 1,000 pounds, saying it was the final payment for the "contract couple."
Originally, Fors didn't intend to take it. After all, they only worked as a contract couple for less than two months. According to their previous agreement, Hobert would only pay this final payment after working as a contract couple for a year.
But Hobert said again that this was a sign of the end of the "contract couple", and Fors felt it made sense, so she accepted it, and spent it with peace of mind.
Spending her boyfriend's money, of course, she felt at ease.
Finally, everyone looked at "The World" again. This was almost a "weekly look" segment, because "The World" was not very active every time he joined the transaction.
Alright. Klein manipulated "The World": "I'll also contribute 500 pounds."
After arriving at the sea, his income had increased a lot. Last week, he had just hunted the second mate of "Admiral of Blood", and at this week's gathering, he also planned to peddle the stomach pouch and Beyonder characteristics he had obtained in the elven ruins where Kavetua died.
Audrey considerately said to the new member "The Hermit", "Ms. Hermit, would you like to join this transaction? If you don't want to pay 500 pounds, you can pay 300 pounds to audit."
Hobert crossed his arms: I don't have to go around looking for people myself anymore.
Cattleya was very interested in this trading method: "Okay, I am willing to pay 300 pounds to audit."
Hobert finally said, "Let's count again. In this transaction, Mr. Moon pays 1,000 pounds, 'Little Sun' pays 3 Beyonder ingredients, Mr. World and Ms. Magician each pay 500 pounds, Mr. Hanged Man and Ms. Hermit each pay 300 pounds, and Mr. Moon grants Ms. Justice the right to audit."
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Hobert said, "Then let's begin. Because there are new members joining, I will first explain Mr. Moon's question.
"Last week, we were trading information about the eight ancient gods. When we talked about 'Sanguine Ancestor' Lilith, I said that her fall was due to a betrayal. Mr. Moon was very concerned about this matter, so he wanted to trade relevant information with me at this gathering."
Cattleya was slightly stunned: I also know the eight ancient gods, but I don't know too much detailed information. Why does "The Emperor" know these? Also, why did I hear that 'Sanguine Ancestor' did not completely fall? According to the existing information, I once suspected that "Primordial Moon" might be "Sanguine Ancestor".
Because it was her first time participating in the Tarot Gathering, she chose to listen more and talk less.
"To explain this question, I must first talk about the two camps formed by the eight ancient gods in the Second Epoch," Hobert said, "The eight ancient gods at that time all had crazy and distorted characteristics, so of course they would not coexist peacefully.
"It was normal to form alliances in battle. In the middle of the Second Epoch, the two camps were basically formed.
"One side was the 'Humanoid Creature Camp' composed of 'Giant King' Aurmir, 'Elf King' Soniathrym, and 'Sanguine Ancestor' Lilith.
"One side was the 'Non-Human Creature Camp' composed of 'Dragon of Imagination' Ankewelt, 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' Gregrace, and 'Mutant King' Kvastir.
"The other two ancient gods have never formed an alliance, but this does not mean that there is no cooperation between them."
Klein behind the gray fog recalled the Roselle diary he had just read: Not only did the gods of the Fourth Epoch have alliances or stand on teams, but also in the Second Epoch!
Cattleya exclaimed: Who would have thought that the ancient gods would actually be divided into camps! I only know the titles of the eight ancient gods, and I don't even know a few of their real names, but "The Emperor" seems to be very familiar with them. This information has far exceeded the value of 300 pounds. Could he be an Beyonder of the "Reader" pathway? Doesn't seem like it. Then why does he know so much?
Finally, she exclaimed: The Tarot Gathering is really an unexpected gathering.
The others did not react much. They were basically used to the process of "The Emperor" sorting out some seemingly complex information clearly and presenting it in his information transactions.
Emlyn stared at "The Emperor". He knew that the other party was about to get to the point: Hurry up and say it, was it "Giant King" or "Elf King" who betrayed the Ancestor?
"As far as I know," Hobert continued, "There is accurate information proving that 'Elf King' once publicly stated that it was 'Giant King' who betrayed Lilith, causing 'Sanguine Ancestor' to fall in a divine war."
"Little Sun" was about to say something when he heard this.
Hobert stopped him with a gesture: "There are also messages indicating that 'Giant King' also accused 'Elf King' of betraying Lilith!"
Emlyn clenched his fists: "Who is it?"
"Don't worry!" Hobert said with a smile, "I think it was not these two ancient gods who betrayed Lilith, but it should be 'Giant King's' queen, 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella, who betrayed Lilith behind 'Giant King's' back."
Everyone was slightly stunned, and then one by one stared at "The Emperor".
Hobert said, "This is my guess, because there is not enough evidence to prove this so far, but this is a reasonable guess.
"First of all, we all know that the elven race is a very irritable race, partly because of the potions they take, and partly because 'Elf King' is relatively irritable.
"Such a race, such an ancient god, if it was really him who betrayed Lilith, his most likely reaction would be to admit it generously!
"Another important piece of evidence is that 'Goddess of Beauty' Auernia defected to 'Elf King' after Lilith fell, which basically excludes the suspicion of 'Elf King's' forces.
"Although the giant race also has crazy and brutal nature, they have always valued honor. Without sufficient motivation, they would hardly do anything to betray.
"The only one who has motivation is 'Goddess of Harvest'."
Emlyn followed up and asked, "Why does she have motivation?"
"Because her pathway and Lilith's pathway are adjacent pathways!" Hobert said.
Everyone suddenly understood: This is the biggest motivation!
The other members were basically used to the Emperor's description method, and only Cattleya was surprised: This requires knowing enough ancient god history, and only rich extraordinary knowledge can lead to such a conclusion! It's still that question, why does the Emperor know so much? And why is everyone not surprised at all?
Emlyn was still not very clear about the relevant information of adjacent pathways: "Wh, what do you mean?"
Audrey briefly explained a few words to Emlyn, and then asked, "Mr. Emperor, do you have any detailed information about the betrayal process?"
Fors also looked over with eager eyes, and Cattleya was also obviously a little tempted.
Hobert seemed to see three restless "gossip hearts".
Relatively speaking, Klein behind the gray fog fell into contemplation. Alger was not very interested in the details after knowing the answer.
"Little Sun" frowned. Although City of Silver had long been freed from the rule of the "Giant King Court", most of his companions were Beyonders of the "Warrior" pathway. When they heard that "Giant King" had betrayed other ancient gods, their first thought was disbelief, and the second thought was to refute it.
Fortunately, it was not "Giant King" who betrayed Lilith, but after all, it was "Giant King's" subsidiary god, "Goddess of Harvest" who betrayed, which made "Little Sun" still feel a little heavy.
In addition, "The World" did not react much, and Emlyn also hoped to hear the details.
Hobert said, "As for the details, most of them are my guesses. I will just say them, and everyone will just listen.
"I said before that in the Second Epoch, the first 'Blasphemy Slate' occasionally appeared. 'Goddess of Harvest' probably saw the first 'Blasphemy Slate' at that time and learned about the relevant information of adjacent pathways.
"After 'Goddess of Harvest' made many efforts to become a god in her own pathway but had little hope, she thought of the method of jumping to the adjacent pathway to become a god.
"This guess is relatively the most reasonable and the most likely to happen."
So Lilith had the opportunity to replace the "Goddess of Harvest", otherwise, if the "Goddess of Harvest" had been staying in the "Giant King Court", it would have been difficult for the Evernight Goddess and the Ancient Sun God to complete the next operation without anyone knowing.
It is very likely that when the "Goddess of Harvest" went to pick up the characteristic and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the "Moon" pathway, her fate was stolen. The "Goddess of Harvest" without fate could not return to the "Giant King Court", and eventually could only return to the "Silver Kingdom" that once believed in her like a lonely ghost, and eventually fell there.
Of course, it is also possible that Lilith had been maintaining a half-dead state, waiting for the Ancient Sun God to wake up, and after Amanises became a god, the Ancient Sun God defeated the "Giant King", the "Giant King Court" collapsed, and the "Goddess of Harvest" fell, before there was a series of operations afterwards.
But if this is the case, the "Goddess of Harvest" would probably fall in the "Giant King Court".
In short, the Evernight Goddess and the Ancient Sun God helped Lilith target the "Goddess of Harvest" together. In addition to the fact that they are adjacent pathways, there must be other reasons.
Otherwise, the Ancient Sun God could steal the corruption of the Mother Goddess of Depravity in the "Moon" pathway Beyonder characteristics and send the corruption to others, so that Lilith could regain her godhood. Why bother to become a god through adjacent pathways?
The "Mother" pathway, or the "Planter" pathway, is as easily polluted by the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" as the "Moon" pathway. What is the point of Lilith jumping around like this?
As for whether the Ancient Sun God, who only possesses the characteristic of the old day, can successfully steal the corruption?
Hobert believes that there should be no problem. Klein, as Sequence 6, can steal the spiritual corruption of the True Creator at the True God level with the Sequence 6 "Tinder".
The Ancient Sun God, who possesses the characteristic of the "Error" pathway, should be able to steal the corruption at the Great Old One level.
But Hobert is not sure about these ideas and guesses, and cannot announce them for the time being, so he can only say it vaguely here.
Hobert's explanation made the three female members imagine the game between the two female gods in the Second Epoch.
After listening to "The Emperor's" explanation, Emlyn asked again, "What happened later? What happened to our Ancestor?"
Hobert said, "Lilith received some help, so she can still occasionally respond to you."
Emlyn then asked, "What about the Goddess of Harvest? Did the 'Goddess of Harvest' receive the punishment she deserved?"
"If my guess is correct, this is a conspiracy caused by Beyonder characteristics," Hobert said.
"What exactly happened to Him?"
Seeing that he couldn't bluff his way out, Hobert had no choice but to say, "It is said that He fell during the end of the Second Epoch, but no one has ever seen His corpse or the Beyonder characteristics He left behind."
Emlyn asked anxiously, "Mr. Emperor, can you give me a definitive answer?"
Hobert said helplessly, "I can only answer this question to this extent."
Emlyn continued, "I can pay you more money!"
"This isn't about money!"
Emlyn opened his mouth, at a loss for how to continue asking.
"The World" suddenly asked "The Emperor" in a hoarse voice, "I remember you mentioned before that the Uniqueness of the 'Moon' pathway is with the Evernight Goddess?"
Just now, Klein had fallen into deep thought because he had thought of this: it seemed that the Evernight Goddess had also participated in this event, and played an important role, otherwise it would have been impossible to obtain the Uniqueness of the 'Moon' pathway.
Cattelya looked at "The World" in surprise: Uniqueness… Evernight Goddess… What level of intelligence were they trading before?
Hobert's answer just now had obviously not made her realize how high-end the Tarot Club's intelligence trading was.
The others also recalled this point, and realized that there seemed to be many secrets surrounding this matter.
Only Emlyn asked in confusion, "What does Uniqueness mean?"
"The only one among the True Gods," Hobert briefly explained to Emlyn, and then said to "The World", "I can only explain this question to this extent.
"Even to this point, it's worth 3,000 pounds. I believe Mr. Fool wouldn't allow me to continue explaining."
Klein behind the gray fog: What does it have to do with me? I also really want to know the inside story of this matter, okay?
But he still had to maintain his composure. He responded to the gazes of the other members with silence and indifference. His silence was his statement.
Moreover, Mr. Fool's silence gave everyone enough pressure, and no one had the idea of continuing to ask.
At the same time, Klein realized that although "The Emperor's" answer was a bit of a bluff, everyone understood what he wanted to express: this involved secret transactions between gods, at least the Evernight Goddess participated in this transaction, and if these secret transactions were made public, it would not be good for anyone.
Klein recalled the handsome woman who smiled at him not long ago. She only glanced at Mr. A, and a Sequence 5 disappeared before his eyes.
For a moment, Klein felt a chill down his spine.
This was the deterrence from a god. Don't think that "The Emperor" usually doesn't take blasphemous remarks seriously, but once it involves the interests of the gods, "The Emperor's" answer stops there, knowing when to shut up.
The other members also guessed that this might involve transactions between gods.
Cattelya even suspected the authenticity of this information. The reason was simple: could a "Mid-Sequence" Beyonder really know such information?
However, she did not immediately express her doubts, and still adhered to the principle of "listen more and talk less", preparing to continue observing before speaking.
For Emlyn, since it involved transactions between the "Ancestor" and other gods, he couldn't ask any more questions in order to prevent the "Ancestor's" secrets from being revealed.
Based on the existing clues, Emlyn sorted out the participants in this transaction between gods: the "Ancestor" was definitely one of the parties in this transaction, and the Evernight Goddess also participated. Mr. Fool should also have participated, otherwise "The Emperor" would not be afraid of Mr. Fool's punishment. Perhaps the "Creator" also participated, at least the "Creator" knew the inside story and told the contents of this transaction to "The Emperor" as a Blessed.
Thinking about it this way, the answer was actually very obvious.
Emlyn also thought that he had only spent 1,000 pounds in this transaction and actually learned a secret between the Ancestor and other ancient gods. No matter how he looked at it, it was worth more than its price.
Next, everyone continued the free trading session.
Because a new member had joined, Alger did not continue to seek the "Ocean Songster" potion formula. Emlyn had just obtained the Beyonder characteristics of "Potion Professor", Audrey had just advanced, Fors and Derrick were digesting potions, and the latter was preparing to advance this week. Everyone did not have urgent trading needs.
Only "The World" spoke, "I need the remnant spirituality of an ancient wraith."
Everyone still did not have relevant materials or clues. Cattelya did have relevant clues, but she did not intend to trade immediately and planned to observe for a while.
So this transaction failed, and Hobert said, "Please help me pay attention to the 'sap of the Black Mist Lord Tree'."
Cattelya, who had rich knowledge of mysticism, had heard of the "Black Mist Lord Tree", which was a demigod-level Beyonder creature.
She immediately realized that "The Emperor" was preparing to advance to a demigod.
But Cattelya still chose to observe for a while, but Alger said, "I have relevant clues, about 1,000 pounds for 10 milliliters."
Hobert almost cursed: Sequence 4-level auxiliary materials are so expensive! A total of 20 milliliters is needed, so the same auxiliary material will cost 2,000 pounds! Sequence 5-level auxiliary materials only cost 300 to 700 pounds, okay?
But since there were clues, although the price was a bit expensive, Hobert decided to stock up in advance: "I need 20 milliliters."
Alger nodded: "I will help you contact him."
In fact, the clues he knew were 900 pounds for 10 milliliters, and he only added a price difference of 200 pounds in the middle, and he had not even mentioned the intermediary fee. This was already a considerable discount.
With the completion of this transaction, this free trading session ended, and the free exchange session came.
Alger said first, "A major event has recently occurred in the Rorsted Archipelago. Do you remember the 'Sea God' Kalvetua we talked about before?"
Audrey and Derrick recalled and nodded together.
Fors and Emlyn had not yet joined the Tarot Club at that time, so they were a little dazed.
And Cattelya certainly knew this "Sea God", but Kalvetua had only died in the past two days, and she had not received relevant news. Because it was information at sea, she listened very carefully.
Alger continued, "Latricia, disguised as an archaeologist, discovered an ancient elven ruin on Simimir Island, and took something from it, indirectly causing Kalvetua to approach collapse.
"This false god wanted to create a tsunami and submerge the island, so that everyone would be buried with him, but was stopped by the 'Sea King' of the Storm Church…"
Hobert was stunned: Sea King? Uh, okay, I must have thought wrong.
As Alger recounted this incident that happened in the Rorsted Archipelago, Cattelya was slightly stunned: Latricia is dead? The "Sea God" Kalvetua is dead, but there is still a "Sea God" responding to the prayers of believers…
Suddenly, Cattelya recalled a scene. When Mr. Fool pulled her in here, she saw that the other party was holding a milky white scepter! It exuded the aura of divinity, exuding the aura of the sea and storms that was almost tangible!
Hobert was thinking of another thing: if the power of the 'Nation of Disorder' is injected into the 'Sea God Scepter', can an 'Order Serpent' be created?
