Chapter 578 Leonard's Resentment
To be honest, Klein was somewhat conflicted about how to deal with "Star Admiral".
Cattleya's actions certainly deserve punishment, otherwise my authority as a god will be shaken, and she might develop more wishful thinking in the future; however, it doesn't warrant killing her...
So let's give her near-death torture, so she'll learn her lesson and also serve as a warning to others.
Klein thought this as he continued his actions. Cattleya convulsed in agony. Only when she could no longer bear it, when her spiritual stability teetered on the brink of collapse, did Klein withdraw his fingers, allowing the gray mist to leave her body.
"Hoo...cough cough!"
[The Hermit] Cattleya gasped and coughed violently, as if a suffocating person were regaining air. She had lost all her strength and simply lay on the long table, her back heaving, utterly exhausted.
"You're lucky, I'm somewhat interested in Roselle."
In the near-silent atmosphere, Klein said to the Hermit, "Tell Bernadette that she can exchange some answers for Roselle's diary, or other related materials."
From Luzer's report to "The Fool," Klein deduced that the "Mysterious Queen" harbored a deep obsession with her father and wanted to know Roselle's intentions and experiences in his later years. Perhaps she could provide some valuable diaries to allow him to learn more about hidden knowledge.
"...yes."
"Thank you for your understanding," Cattleya said weakly and softly.
She had just experienced extreme pain, akin to dying several times over. Yet, her heart was filled with the joy of survival, grateful that Mr. Fool still needed her as a bridge to communicate with the Queen. This time, she was determined to learn from her mistake and only relay Mr. Fool's instructions to the "Mysterious Queen," mentioning nothing else.
"Alright, let's begin as usual."
Klein said, waving his hand to get the process back on track and move on to the transaction.
Perhaps because they were still deeply impressed by what had just happened, the people present were even speaking in quieter voices than usual. They probably realized once again that although this Mr. Fool was usually gentle, he was actually a true god-like being.
[The Moon] Emlyn looked at Alger eagerly.
"Mr. Hanged Man, how's the Baron trait I asked you to purchase coming along?"
He made a huge decision to buy this feature, giving up many high-quality dolls and even borrowing money from his parents to barely scrape together the amount.
"I've already received it, £4200, plus my £300 commission, it's yours now."
"The Hanged Man," Alger replied. In fact, the great pirate was willing to sell for 4000 pounds, and he made a total profit of 500 pounds.
Despite the substantial profits, he still subconsciously glanced at [Temperance] beside him. He was trading Sequence 6 materials at the Pirate Convention, while [Temperance] was already able to defeat a Sequence 1 angel who had broken in...
"4500 pounds... okay."
Emlyn gritted his teeth; the number was still within his acceptable range. "Deal. After the meeting, we'll have Mr. Fool handle the transaction."
"Can.
99
Alger had no reason to refuse. After completing the transaction, he looked around at everyone and said, "I need the Sailor's Path Sequence 5, the Ocean Singer's Potion recipe."
The [Temperance] skill next door has become so powerful; I need to improve mine as soon as possible!
Unfortunately, none of the people present had any concrete clues, so he could only wait helplessly.
"Ahem, everyone, does anyone have meteorite crystals or Lava octopus blood crystals, or any information about their whereabouts?"
[The Magician] Fors pondered for a moment, then asked. These two items were the main ingredients for the potion of her Sequence 7 pathway, "The Astrologer." She had been playing the role of "Master of Tricks" for some time now, and had basically mastered the potion. Her teacher, Dorian, was very pleased and specially gave her this recipe, allowing her to find the ingredients herself.
"I have Lava Octopus blood crystals, and as for meteorite crystals, I can find those for you too," said the Hermit, Cattleya, who had recovered. "The former is 600 pounds, and the latter is 10 pounds per gram. I'll give them to you within two weeks..."
After that, she provided Audrey, the "Justice," who was searching for the main ingredient of the "Hypnotist" potion, with spinal fluid from a Black Hunting Giant Lizard and promised to help purchase the fruit of the Psychedelic Wind Chime.
Having recovered from Mr. Fool's slap, she seemed to have become more positive.
What happened?
Lu Ze's expression was strange. This "General of the Stars" guy, despite being reprimanded, has become even more proactive and has a stronger sense of belonging to the Tarot Club? Did Bernadette not really hit her much when she was little?
Northern Continent, Kingdom of Rune, Backlund, Eastern District.
"Stop right there!"
Leonard shouted as he chased after him. His face was weary, his beard unkempt, and his handsome features were slightly diminished. At this moment, his dark green eyes flashed with anger as he ran swiftly through the dirty, narrow streets of the East Side.
"quack..."
In the sky before him, a gaunt, blackened man with bat wings on his back, covered in blood, was mocking him loudly. He flapped his wings, wanting to fly away and leave those foolish, incompetent night watchmen far behind.
But just then, its eyelids suddenly drooped and quickly closed completely, as it fell into a dream.
"Thump thump thump!"
Leonard had been waiting for this opportunity. He immediately strode forward, leaping up from the piles of debris in the alley. He first jumped onto a rooftop, then bent his knees slightly, stomped on the tiles, and leaped towards the falling demon!
The demon only slept for half a second before waking up. Just as it was about to adjust its posture, it felt a gust of wind and saw Leonard rushing towards it.
"roar!"
The demon roared angrily, its mouth open, about to utter a filthy and blasphemous curse, but suddenly it fell silent, unable to utter a sound, as if it had forgotten how to speak.
In that instant of confusion, Leonard grabbed its ankle, pulled it, and slammed it down!
"Get down!"
His words were filled with intense resentment. Ignoring any possible counterattack, he drew his revolver and fired at extremely close range, pressing it against the demon's head.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After the three shots were fired, the demon died instantly without even having a chance to struggle.
"Damn bastard..."
Leonard then put away his gun and cursed.
He and his team spent a great deal of time tracking down this cunning fellow. He had originally planned to go to Tingen to check on the lives of his two teammates, but he had been delayed for so long because of this bastard.
Working overtime for too long will inevitably lead to resentment.
