Chapter 400 New Member [The Moon]
Huh? When was I saved?
Emlyn, the newest member of the Tarot Club, was momentarily bewildered. In order to break free from the psychological suggestion he was under, and with the encouragement of the vampires within the vampire clan, this vampire—no, this extraordinary one who called himself a "vampire"—also invoked the name of the Fool and joined the Tarot Club.
Based on what happened last week, he quickly connected the woman's words with the "smog" incident.
However, news circulating within the vampire clan indicated that a certain "Despair Witch" had done this in an attempt to digest the potion. The Church of Storms quickly responded, dispelling the smog.
The intelligence from the tribe conflicted with the information he had received here, leaving Emlyn perplexed. But since this was his first time attending a meeting, he wisely remained silent and listened in for a while.
Alger the Hanged Man, Fors the Magician, and others also had their own thoughts, but none of them spoke up, waiting for Audrey the Justice to finish speaking.
After bowing solemnly to the Fool, Audrey, the Justice, turned her gaze to the end of the long table. "Mr. World, thank you for your timely reminder. If it weren't for you, many more people would have died in this smog."
"I'm doing this to save myself."
The somber figure answered in a hoarse voice.
So, Klein not only warned me, but also "Justice"? No wonder the official response was so swift. But even so, tens of thousands still died. George III truly deserved to die!
Lu Ze gave the World a deep look.
Then, he noticed that Audrey's gaze had shifted to him.
"Mr. [Moderation], is there a deeper story behind the smog incident?"
She asked.
The Blood Monk bombarded the palace, angrily denounced the king, and risked his life to cause a huge disturbance. Excluding the extremely unlikely possibility that he suddenly went mad, it can only mean that the royal family played a key role in pushing the tragedy forward.
She merely smiled at the man who had committed such a shocking crime, "According to the usual procedure, it should be Mr. Fool's reading time now, shouldn't it?"
"Oh, sorry!"
[Justice] Audrey suddenly remembered and quickly apologized to the deep figure above, "Mr. Fool, I have offended you."
Actually, I also wanted to know the inside story as soon as possible.
Klein muttered to himself, but to maintain his "god-like image," he could only chuckle softly and say, "It's alright."
"Mr. Fool, because Backlund has been in great turmoil during this period, with the military and the three major churches investigating back and forth, I have been unable to collect Russell's diary."
Audrey continued to apologize.
"I see."
Klein said.
Meanwhile, Fors, the "Magician," took the opportunity to present three pages of Russell's diary.

Watching them dedicate their diaries, Lu Ze suddenly remembered something.
—If Klein is the world, then all those Roselle diaries he collected must have been dedicated to Mr. Fool, right? And then, the diaries he shared with me were probably also given to Mr. Fool, weren't they?
In that case, haven't I just handed over a copy of Russell's diary to Mr. Fool?
Mr. Fool said nothing.
The thought of this possibility gave Lu Ze a headache, and his gaze toward the [World] held a strange undertone.
Looking at me like that, Lu Ze probably already guessed that "the world" was Klein. Klein thought to himself, feeling a little uneasy for some reason, and quickly lowered his head to hide his strangeness under the pretense of reading the diary.
Mr. Temperance is looking at Mr. World again. He's never done this before. Has he discovered something about Mr. World?
"Justice," Audrey thought to herself.
Above the gray fog, a strange atmosphere lingered for some time until Mr. Fool finished reading the diary.
"Oh, right, this is the newest member, Mr. [Moon]." Klein put down his diary, then realized he hadn't introduced Emlyn to everyone, so he chuckled and said, "You all should get to know each other."
So, under the leadership of Audrey, who had a strong sense of ownership, everyone greeted each other and confirmed each other's code names.
The trading process began naturally.
"Seeking to purchase Grigg's Shadow Mark and Shadow Knight's Black Liquid."
Lu Ze spoke first.
These two items are auxiliary materials for the "Black Knight" potion. Besides these two materials, there is another material that is more difficult to obtain: a drop of blood from each of those corrupted during the ascension ritual. Luze's corruption targets are the surviving souls of the dead in the Eastern District, who left no blood behind.
However, he had a secondary solution: to use his own blood instead.
Because those who fell eventually merged into his body and became a part of him, in a sense, the blood of the fallen is his blood.
He's preparing to advance to Sequence 4!
Among the members present, apart from the newly joined [Moon], everyone else guessed that the materials Luze mentioned involved the "Black Knight" recipe.
But they had never actually heard of these things before.
"I'll ask around for you."
"Justice," Audrey said.
"I will write a letter to my teacher."
And Fors, the Magician, quickly chimed in.
Sure enough, once you get to Sequence 4, it's not so easy to obtain.
Lu Ze thought to himself with emotion.
Just then, Emlyn, the Moon, suddenly spoke.
"Grigg, is he some kind of extraordinary creature, also known as the Crimson Giant?"
He asked Lu Ze.
"That's right."
Lu Ze looked at him in surprise, then nodded and said, "You know any clues about it?"
Although the gray fog blocked their view, the other party did not seem like a strong person to him. He did not expect that the other party would know about this level of things.
"Within our vampire clan, there is a count's collection."
"Vampires?"
"The Magician," Fors exclaimed in surprise.
Oops, I unconsciously revealed my identity.
Emlyn was taken aback, a wave of regret washing over him. But this regret was quickly replaced by pride. He straightened his back, tilted his head slightly, and declared, "That's right, I am a noble vampire!"
"Too impetuous," thought the Hanged Man, "but his vampire identity is probably real, and I might be able to use it in the future." He remained silent.
Amidst her pride, Audrey also felt a little guilty. [Justice] Reading his status, she found it slightly amusing.
Lu Ze, however, didn't pay much attention and continued to press, "So, does that count bear any trace of Grigor?"
"That's right."
Emlyn looked around at everyone and said, "That count hunted the Crimson Giant in the Fusak Wasteland hundreds of years ago. Although he wouldn't sell his body, his shadow should be worth a certain price."
