Trafford's Trading Club

Chapter 1364: Chapter 91: Three-Minute Tour Group

Everything feels like a dream.

For the third Miss of Boss Zhong’s family, ever since she became a bloodsucker, her life from then on seemed to be immersed in a dreamscape.

“Elizabeth, let’s go back… Those people should be fine.”

She still attempted to persuade the currently lone and not-so-reliable bloodsucker little girl: Queen Elizabeth.

After being attacked by the Golden Dragon and the destruction of the Clan castle, she and Elizabeth, along with most of the bloodsuckers of the Torrido Clan, temporarily settled in the Farm to regroup.

After dinner, worried too much about those who fell into the Lost Rift including Luo Qiu, and having received no news, the bloodsucker little girl resolutely returned — of course, with her excellent psychological induction ability, it was not difficult to evade the clan’s patrol teams along the way.

“You’ve been here for more than an hour.”

Looking at this bloodsucker little girl’s frame that seemed it could be blown away by the wind at any moment, yet she insisted on standing at the cliff’s edge, waiting bitterly, Zhong Luoyue always felt a bit heartache.

Though she considered her relationship with Elizabeth as an investment — clearly, during the investment, only by wholeheartedly committing herself could make this relationship real, providing reliance… Could be truly felt.

“I’m fine.” The bloodsucker little girl shook her head, forcing a smile: “No matter what, I’m still a bloodsucker and won’t catch a cold.”

Almost a joke without a laugh point… But Zhong Luoyue still smiled, gently placing her hands on Elizabeth’s shoulders from behind… The bloodsucker little girl’s height just reaching her chest — naturally, she herself was a tall person.

More like a sibling rather than a guide on the Non-Human path…

For the third miss of Boss Zhong’s family, the three Zhong heroes, two dragons, and one phoenix, a sister… was always an unimaginable thing — many who claimed sisterhood among the tomb-robbing family, but few truly worthy of emotional investment.

“Speaking of which, do you know about the Lost Rift, Elizabeth?” Zhong Luoyue suddenly said… Just to relieve the atmosphere.

“Not really clear.” Elizabeth shook her head, “I spent most of my time in the real world, entering the Non-Human Domain just a few times and only for a short while… Yue, do you know anything?”

“Not much, mostly just what I heard from Torrido people.” Zhong Luoyue smiled, “After all, I’m quite skilled at interpersonal relationships.”

“What did they say?” Elizabeth asked eagerly… Apparently, not interested in Zhong Luoyue’s social skills.

“Not very clear specifically, but it seems the Torrido Clan tried to invade the rift’s bottom about sixty years ago, though they suffered quite a heavy loss. After that, the rift became a topic bloodsuckers in the clan avoid discussing.”

“I… I want to sense again.” Upon hearing this, Elizabeth took a deep breath, extending her thoughts towards the rift below.

Seeing this, the third Miss of Boss Zhong’s family had to cautiously watch the surroundings for this bloodsucker little girl… Though facing any clan’s bloodsucker or other threats, she didn’t think she could handle them.

Yet she told herself, it was something that needed to be done.

“There’s someone down there!” The little girl suddenly opened her eyes, pointing towards the rift.

But below, in the pitch-black darkness, Zhong Luoyue could see nothing.

“Just below, very close, blocked by a large stone… It’s a place that can accommodate several people!”

Elizabeth said, then suddenly spread her small wings from her back, lifting Zhong Luoyue quite effortfully towards the direction she pointed.

Approximately twenty meters deep from the cliff’s edge… A place blocked by a large stone. Fortunately, they easily landed on this hidden stone platform without incident.

Then.

They saw a golden-haired youth with closed eyes holding an extraordinary long magic wand, wearing a white robe, standing straight and still.

“What’s the matter with this person?” The third Miss of Boss Zhong’s family couldn’t help but instinctively say.

Cautiously approaching.

…

…

When a gigantic rift suddenly tore open above the headquarters of the Magician’s Association… the entire area within a radius of dozens of miles began to tremble.

First the earth, then the air seemed unstable… Those engaged in sniping exotic creatures, the Non-Human and the Association’s magicians, instinctively observed the giant rift.

Enveloped in darkness, like a devouring maw, causing an involuntary sense of fear.

Afterwards, from within the rift, a silhouette stepped out… Following the first figure’s appearance, several silhouettes continued to cross out from the rift.

Finally, when the seventh silhouette appeared… it seemed unlikely that anyone else would emerge from the rift.

Long Xiruo frowned, glancing at these individuals, each clad in silver-gray robes with masks bearing white and black patterns – yet each mask had a distinct design.

Having no sense for these patterns, the true dragon merely tilted its head watching… But the Luminous Tower Master seemed to recall something upon seeing them.

He couldn’t help but murmured, “The Moon… The Reaper… The Hanged Man… The Hermit, The Lovers… The Emperor, and The Star… Tarot?”

Hearing the Luminous’s voice, Long Xiruo turned, frowning: “Little dog, who are these guys?”

The Luminous Tower Master looked at Ares who occupied the Thunder Tower Master’s body, solemnly said: “Around a few hundred years ago, there was a rumor that such a secretive place existed in the real world, akin to a society-like organization. It holds powerful twenty-six seats, named after the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana of Tarot Cards. This society’s intentions are difficult to determine, but its name somehow started spreading… Michael Club, the name of this society.”

“Michael… Club,” Long Xiruo frowned, “So it’s this bunch.”

Speaking of Michael Club, the Divine Land’s true dragon didn’t know nothing—during last year’s ley line event, the remnant of the displaced Xiang Liu’s family from the Godly Land was inherently linked with Michael Club.

However, that guy is currently confined, pondering life in returning to origin state within Spirit Vein… Before going to Mount Tai, Long Xiruo would occasionally check in on the confinement and didn’t miss learning bits about Michael Club from that guy’s mouth.

Actually, due to the presence of true dragons in Divine Land, except for some gamblers among the borders, those with a bit of influence generally designate Divine Land as a forbidden area for activities… Naturally, simple country-to-country human activities are not included.

Of course—this rule only applies to Non-Human… Or rather, Transcendent conventions. Human national activities temporarily aren’t subjected to these unwritten rules.

Otherwise, given the death-wishing clandestine activities of some foreign countries in Divine Land, smuggling ships, flying tools, etc., this true dragon might have already swept the world over and over, wouldn’t it?

Among the groups adhering to this agreement, this secret society, Michael Club, is evidently included.

But as Long Xiruo said, if these guys were really so calm, their credibility is even lower than the possibility of a certain merchant suddenly closing all transactions and saying he’s going to retreat with her.

Therefore, she wasn’t surprised in the slightest about these groups secretly researching ways to deal with her.

On the contrary, not researching would be what’s truly strange.

“So, Ares, it seems you’ve long conspired with the Michael Club?”

Looking at the descending seventh seat among the twenty-six seats, the true dragon of Divine Land tilted its head… Although she didn’t have the infinite power bank of Divine Land beneath her feet, her current charge was approximately… 91%!

Fearless!

This question was quickly answered… because at that moment, Ares, who occupied the body of Thunder Tower Master, chuckled lightly and slowly took out a mask with black patterns on a white background, putting it on his face.

“This is the pattern of the [Magician] from the Major Arcana…”

The Luminous Tower Master suddenly became astonished… after the astonishment came the realization, “I see… Mr. Ares, it seems you… or your society have been plotting this attack on the Association for a long time, right?”

“No.”

[Magician] Ares shook his head, “You should know my personality… The plotting has always existed, but this action was just a spur-of-the-moment inspiration — after all, I’m someone who will seize opportunities without hesitation. I dislike constant planning… because too much planning often fails due to unforeseen accidents. I think this opportunity is great; after all, I’ve already successfully occupied Thunder’s body. Of course… if this true dragon hadn’t appeared, the results of this opportunity would have probably been maximized.”

“This proves that when you went out today, you definitely didn’t check the almanac.” Long Xiruo sneered, “Speaking of which, I also have an account with you guys from last year… might as well settle it today.”

The entire High Tower of the Magician’s Association began to shake alongside the increase of the True Dragon’s power… Seeing this, the Luminous Tower Master couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words.

Make a big fuss… that was decided.

Right now, the ever-increasing True Dragon’s power caused the [Non-Human] and magicians at the bottom of the tower to become terrified.

The gravel and dust on the ground flowed to the sky like reverse rainfall… They were not beings from Divine Land, so they couldn’t feel due reverence from this ancient faith, but they felt… fear!

“[Magician]!”

At this moment, one of the descending seven seats from the rift — the one representing the Major Arcana [Emperor] — suddenly spoke deeply, “[Magician], you never mentioned that this action would involve encountering the Divine Land’s true dragon.”

Only [Magician] Ares could be heard speaking extremely irresponsibly, “Because I didn’t know beforehand, there’s naturally no briefing… However, since you’ve descended, surely you don’t plan to scurry back now, right? I don’t mind; if you’re leaving, I’ll surely take off too — after all, there’s only me alone, and I can’t possibly deal with this troublesome true dragon alone.”

“Do you have a plan… [Magician]?” Another representative of the Major Arcana [Lovers] suddenly asked in a low voice.

“The operational system of the [Unhuman Domain] has been in extremity these years. Instability within the domain has been increasing.” [Magician] Ares quickly said, “According to my calculations, Luminous’s system is already struggling to bear the load of the increasing number of non-humans… Remember the thought process we had when researching how to deal with the true dragon?”

“You mean?” The voice of Major Arcana [Star] immediately sank.

Everyone knows that the Divine Dragon can’t be killed… but it seems only within China, because China stands in a transcendent position in the world’s non-human jungle, despite frequent invasions between nations, no non-humans have ever dared set foot in it.

The Divine Land’s true dragon can’t be killed within China essentially because no one can sever the endless power supply Divine Land provides to the true dragon… But once the true dragon leaves China, it loses that support.

Even without support, the true dragon remains one of the strongest powers in the world… but it’s no longer an undying body.

If one could achieve an explosion of power at a level reaching the critical point of space, it might be a method to kill the Divine Land’s true dragon, who lost support, outside the nation.

Even though the Divine Land’s true dragon will be reborn within its homeland, it would take decades, if not centuries.

Plenty of time to deploy many things.

“How about it, there’s not much time for you to consider.” [Magician] Ares raised his voice.

It wasn’t that he intended to pressure the other seats into making a judgment… but if everyone couldn’t work together, forget about achieving total elimination of the true dragon, they would even struggle to deal with Long Xiruo.

Killing the true dragon… the opportunity at hand could be deemed a once-in-a-lifetime chance, with the unstable [Non-Human Space] and the true dragon leaving China seemingly all cleverly aligning for this choice.

Faced with [Magician]’s crazy proposal, the seven seats were clearly tempted… China has always been a region where the Club cannot extend their influence, and without covering China’s territory, the things the Club needs to plot cannot truly start.

Finally… a silent member marked by the Major Arcana [Hanged Man] suddenly spoke, “Eastern true dragon…”

At this voice’s descent, Long Xiruo snorted coldly and lifted her head, “Don’t use such a half-dead-tone! Also, skip the opening speech and self-introduction, just make it swift if you want to fight.”

“I apologize for the offense here. Eastern true dragon.” [Hanged Man] said something which surprised Ares, “Regarding this attack on the Magician’s Association, it isn’t a society action, but just a private act of our [Magician]… We won’t give [Magician] any support in the upcoming time, this will be a personal grievance between you two.”

“Huh? What did you say?” Long Xiruo couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Similarly… Ares was silent — he seemed to be slowed down by [Hanged Man]’s words.

But after saying that, [Hanged Man] swiftly returned to the rift and vanished… Without leaving further words, his decisiveness left everyone guessing.

After that, the remaining six seats also charged into the rift without saying a word — in mere moments, the tear in the sky resumed its original state, as if nothing had happened, leaving the Divine Land’s true dragon perplexed.

What did these guys come to do… a group tour?

…

…

“Why did we leave? [Magician]’s proposal, though extreme, had high feasibility. If we could detonate the [Unhuman Domain], even the Divine Land’s true dragon, though it might survive in distress, would likely be gravely wounded. While sacrificing [Unhuman Domain] is regretful, it seems worthwhile compared to the result.”

On the other side of the rift, is a pitch-black forest.

Looking at the gradually dispersing rift, [Hanged Man] only spoke in a low voice, “This is the decision of [The Fool], I’m merely executing this decision… Of course, you can also choose to go back and help [Magician]… In fact, [The Fool] didn’t require agreement to this decision.”

“[The Fool]?” [Emperor] said, puzzled, “But during the previous discussions, it was [The Fool] who agreed for us to assist the [Magician]… how come?”

“Apparently, it’s because of receiving real-time communication from [The Sun], I don’t know the specifics they discussed either.”

“[The Sun… Gong Sun.” [Lovers] murmured thoughtfully.

The rift connecting here and above the Magician’s Association headquarters finally disappeared.
