Chapter 70 The Advice of Mr. "The Hanged Man"
The tarot reading continues.
After clarifying the essence of the "werewolf incident," everyone sighed inwardly: a rational madman is really hard to deal with.
Then, "Justice" Audrey added, "Raphael received some information about the 'Aurora Society' last week, but he stated in his letter that he only wanted this information in exchange for the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Living Corpses.'"
She looked towards the lower part of the bronze table: "Mr. 'World,' do you need this information?"
Just as Klein was about to manipulate "The World" to nod, "The Hanged Man" Alger said, "Perhaps we can also listen in."
Then, sensing the mad adventurer's sharp gaze, he quickly said, "But we definitely need to pay a reward."
"For example, next we will listen to the intelligence together, give the intelligence a valuation, and then pay the intelligence fee to 'Mr. World'."
"Once the rewards we jointly pay reach the value of the 'live user' attribute, we can give that attribute to Raphael."
"This way we can both get the information we want, and Raphael can also acquire the 'living corpse' trait as soon as possible."
Leonard, the "Star," and Cattleya, the "Hermit," also expressed their agreement at the time. As for the other members, they were not very enthusiastic about the information about the "Aurora Society," or rather, the information about the Aurora Society held by their organization, so they did not express their opinions.
So, Mr. Fool set up a private space for discussion, and the participants in this transaction were Mr. World, Alger the Hanged Man, Cattleya the Hermit, and Leonard the Star.
"Justice," Audrey said, "Raphael received two pieces of information. One was a portrait of an important member of the Aurora Society in Backlund."
And it seems they are about to launch an important operation.
"Raphael has also been granted permission to participate in that operation, but it is not yet clear what exactly it is."
After saying this, Audrey, with the help of Mr. Fool, materialized seven portraits, which included Mr. C and six other Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 individuals.
To everyone's surprise, Raphael provided such comprehensive information all at once. With these portraits, if conditions allowed, the Aurora Society's forces in Backlund could be completely wiped out!
However, it is believed that other forces would not do this, because they are more interested in the Aurora Society's "important actions".
Audrey continued, "The second piece of information is Raphael's speculation. He noticed that the venue for the Aurora Club's high-end gathering is a count's mansion."
"After the party, he had his men investigate and found that the count had always been a staunch supporter of the royal family, so Raphael guessed..."
There may be some kind of deal between the royal family and the Aurora Club.
Raphael's original words were: "If there were no deal between the gums, even the most foolish of the bloated royals would not allow their trusted subordinates to have close ties with an organization of madmen."
After listening, Alger, the "Hanged Man," said, "This should be certain, after all, the Aurora Society was involved in the Great Smog incident."
He then added, "I think the value of these two pieces of intelligence should be around 300 pounds."
Intelligence transactions are generally divided into two types: exclusive intelligence and, as it is now, "Justice" Audrey is narrating, and four buyers are listening.
Exclusive intelligence is expensive, and such transactions are rare because no one can be sure whether the seller will sell the same "exclusive intelligence" to others after selling it to them.
The information provided by Raphael was highly valuable, especially the portraits of the seven people; if traded with four buyers, each person would receive 300.
The ranking is a very fair price.
The others agreed with the "Hanged Man's" assessment and were willing to each pay £300.
Audrey thought to herself: If we make another deal like this, I'll get the "zombie" characteristic.
Bridge District, Palm Street, Bell Bar.
This place is very close to the freight station where the "Werewolf" incident occurred. Many of the people who come to Belle's Bar for drinks are porters who work at the freight station.
The porter, Kos, had personally witnessed the "werewolf." Today, as usual, he described the scene to everyone again. Perhaps because everyone's entertainment options were so limited, even the drinkers who had heard about it once or twice before listened with great interest.
Koss felt that he was now beginning to enjoy the spotlight.
Because there were so many people present when the werewolf appeared, some of them had already left the freight station by the time the police arrived.
It was very difficult for the official extraordinary individuals to complete the confidentiality agreement, and in the end, they could only sign confidentiality agreements with a limited number of people.
Koss hasn't dared to go back to work at the freight station these past few days. If he were to look for a job, he would be immediately called in to sign a confidentiality agreement.
After recounting his experience, Koss took a sip of his drink amidst the admiring or approving glances of the others, then got up and went to the restroom behind the bar.
Upon entering, Kos felt that it was colder than usual.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was already late autumn, and the "dark" Backlund was already very cold in late autumn.
After resolving his bloating, Kos was about to go out and continue bragging when he turned around and almost fell to the ground in fright.
Sometime later, a man dressed as a hunter, with an extremely pale face, stood behind Kos.
The other person had entered at some unknown time and looked as stiff as a dead person.
Koss exclaimed in surprise, then forced a smile: "Dude, you—you startled me."
The other person was physically strong, so Kos didn't swear.
But the man dressed as a hunter suddenly reached out, stepped forward, and swiftly and firmly grabbed Kos by the neck.
Kos didn't even have time to resist before he was unable to make a sound. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from the other man's grasp. The man in the hunting suit continued to hold Kos with one hand while using the other to climb up the wall outside the bathroom, easily making his way out.
That look is very much like a cheetah carrying prey almost the same size as itself up a tree!
After a few leaps, Kos was led to a secluded alley.
A pale-faced man was waiting there. This man was none other than Bennett, the "living corpse" who had fought Raphael on the night of the full moon.
He glanced at Kos with eyes like a dead fish and began pressing him for details about the werewolf who had appeared at the freight station.
After nightfall.
Raphael once again participated in an exchange activity with several important figures from the Aurora Society. At the beginning of this exchange, Mr. C said, "I have a task here that needs one of you to complete."
