Chapter VII Stranded Proposals

After a while of communication, "Sun" Derick suddenly came up with a question:

"Dear Mr. 'Fool', what gesture should we use when we usually thank you?"

Gestures?Klein was stunned by the little "sun" for a while.

He had never thought of imitating the Church of the Goddess to draw a circle clockwise and the Church of the Storm to design a prayer gesture for himself with a right fist hitting his left chest.

This is probably the last bottom line of a pseudo-god...... He complained in his heart.

Seeing that Mr. "Fool" was smiling but silent, as if waiting for himself and others to play, "Justice" Audrey suddenly had a lot of inspiration and thought of new problems.

She looked around with sparkling eyes and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, are we also designing a covert action to identify ourselves at the same time? We Tarot Society are not many members now, and we don't need to worry about each other appearing on the same occasion and becoming hostile for various reasons, but it will be difficult to avoid it in the future, we need a special set of 'codes' to distinguish who is a friend and who is an enemy. ”

I have an idea for this...... Klein suddenly remembered the secret gestures he had known in his previous life, such as the handshake.

He was just about to manipulate the "world" to make a proposal, but the "hanging man" spoke:

"No, Miss 'Justice', I don't think it's a good idea.

"One of the most striking features of our Tarot Society compared to other secret organizations is that the members don't know each other, and even if, uh, I'll give you the most extreme example, even if one of our members is arrested and tortured, it won't affect the others, unless someone can stand up to Mr. 'Fool' and go straight here, which is obviously impossible.

"Once we have a whole set of 'codes' and 'codes', the traitor's betrayal will allow the hostile forces to fish us out one by one by these means.

"You desperately want to show off your Tarot membership to others?"

"......," Audrey couldn't refute for a moment, but could only mumble, "but ......"

"Your fears are valid, but they can be circumvented by regular weekly exchanges, pre-designed temporary gestures, and prayers to Mr. 'Fool'. "The Hanged Man" Alger took into account that the other party was about to provide him with a large amount of gold pounds, and his tone gradually softened.

"Justice," Audrey asked with some understanding:

"The simplest example is that at the tarot gathering on Monday, I knew in advance that there was a possibility of meeting or even clashing with a certain member, so I designed a set of temporary gestures to show each other's identities, and when the matter passed, I immediately abolished that set of gestures.

"That's about it. Alger exhaled silently.

At this time, the "Sun" Derick also suddenly said:

"I'm sorry I asked a stupid question, Mr. 'Fool' never mentioned what gestures he used to thank Him, just for fear that we would be exposed. ”

He immediately looked at the top of the bronze table:

"Your will is our way. ”

I just thought of a special gesture...... Klein chuckled and said:

"Not bad. ”

He looked at the other members, and said calmly:

"That's all for today's meeting. ”

"Do as you wish!" all members except "Moon" stood up at the same time.

Emlyn was stunned for a second before he hurriedly stood up and saluted as the other members of the group saluted.

A crimson light immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and his body felt a slight sense of falling.

Immediately afterward, his vision returned to normal, and he saw the large and small dolls in the room.

Call...... It was only at this time that Emlyn White calmed down and recalled the first tarot gathering she attended:

"Except for Mr. 'Fool', the strength of the other members is not too strong, are they all like me, who have been selected for various reasons?

"It's ridiculous, I thought at first that 'Sun' was a demigod-level powerhouse, just escaped from the pursuit of an angel, who knows, he is only in sequence 8, and is seeking to be promoted to sequence 7!

"A child who doesn't know how to be polite, surely he is not yet an adult!, however, the silver city he mentioned and the experience that has been circulating are very strange, I have to find an opportunity to ask Lord Nibais, no, first ask Kassimi and my father and mother, to see if they know about Silver City, hmph, the historical documents of Silver City dare to tamper with the deeds of our blood clan!

"Miss 'Justice' is a native of Beckland, very rich and rich, the daughter of some great banker, or the son of a great noble......man?

"Miss 'Magician' looked at me strangely, she must have admired the noble blood, she didn't say much, she didn't reveal much about herself, well, she was a quiet girl.

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man' is a mature gentleman, who knows a lot, has a noble character, is willing to answer questions for new members, and provides corresponding help and information, and it can be seen that he is very popular, and both 'Sun' and 'World' are willing to ask him for advice or ask him for help.

"'World' is a guy who doesn't like very much, when he speaks, it's like he can't spit out phlegm in his throat, and I don't even bother to drink his blood, it smells dirty...... He is withdrawn, very good at hiding his emotions, and can easily bring out the extraordinary traits of Sequence 6, promising to provide a 'psychiatrist' within two months...... It's amazing!"

All the details flashed by, and Emlyn found that the Tarot would be simple but not simple, and that Mr. "Fool" did not interfere too much in the progress of the party.

He seems to be only interested in the so-called Russell's diary...... But He was willing to provide miraculous facilities to his members. Thinking of this, Emlyn unconsciously felt a little proud of the identity of the "moon".

Looking around the puppets in the room, he recalled his question:

"The 'relic' of 4,000 to 5,000 pounds, the hope of becoming a baron in a short period of time, really embarrassed me......"

At this moment, Emlyn had not yet made a final decision, but he felt that the room had become more gloomy, and he felt that he had been burdened with a heavy debt.

............

Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.

Klein pressed the thumb and middle finger of his right hand to one temple and gently rubbed it twice.

In the silence, he quickly sat up straight, allowing a small badge to fly out of the clutter pile and onto the long bronze table in front of him.

The badge was the size of an eyeball, and on the surface was a symbol of "fate" and "concealment", which was the relic that Crane had found from Lanewes.

On the back of it is the inscription "Hold this, you can join", and provide information about the meeting:

"January 4, 1350, 8 p.m., Babur Valley. ”

The question Klein now has to think about is whether to try his luck tomorrow night with the badge in the Babur Valley.

Frankly, he was inclined not to go, and even if he had been promoted to "Faceling" and could do a perfect disguise, he didn't want to take any risks because he didn't know anything about the party.

Magicians don't do unprepared performances...... Crane whispered, pulled out a gold coin, and tucked it between his fingers.

He picked up the badge with his other hand and whispered to himself:

"Attending gatherings within the Babur Valley is risky. ”

After several times in a row, he popped out the gold coin with a bang.

The gold coin tumbled down and stood upright in his palm.

This indicates a failure in divination.

"Sure enough......" Klein wasn't surprised.

It's not a problem of insufficient upfront information, it's that there isn't at all.

He sat there in silence, only the gold coins rolling between his fingers.

Eventually, Klein overcame his curiosity and adventurous spirit and decided not to go.

"But that doesn't mean I can't mix it up, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, well......" He curled the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and returned to the real world.

............

January 4, 10:35 a.m.

Crane stood in front of the mahogany table and picked up a stack of bills.

There were five banknotes of £10 and ten of them of £5, for a total of £100, which was exactly what the "hanged man" had just paid for by means of sacrifice.

The 15 gold pounds made Klein's wallet a lot fuller, and he was finally able to buy tickets with peace of mind.

Placing the wallet, he picked up the thin human skin glove on the table and put it on his left hand.

One of the major features of "Wriggling Hunger" is that when not used, it has a camouflage effect and will not be detected by most extraordinary means, so Crane can make it switch between its original appearance, various colored gloves, and camouflaged skin, and this time, he chose black gloves.

For this purpose, Klein also specially prepared a separate black glove on the right side.

Immediately afterward, he placed the brown "biotoxin bottle" in the tin box, sealed it with a spiritual wall, and stuffed it into the inside pocket of his clothes.

As for the "sun brooch", as long as it was worn and carried with it, it would create a hot summer feeling, and Klein had to put it in an iron cigarette case and hide it at the bottom of the suitcase.

"9 purification bullets, 15 demon hunting bullets, 3 exorcism bullets......" Crane took out his revolver and the box where the bullets were placed, and reloaded as he counted them.

Syllable!

He folded the wheel, put the pistol in the pouch under his armpit, then put on a black tweed coat, put on a half-height silk hat, picked up his cane and suitcase, and walked out of the hotel door.

In addition to the "Eyes of All" and other unusable items that were still above the gray mist, he was fully armed.

By horse-drawn carriage, Klein arrived at the "Prietzport Ticket Company" located in the White Rose district.

The company is housed in a small, old, three-story building with a wooden sign at the door with a notice.

Klein walked over, paused there, and glanced at it casually:

"Notes:

"1. Abide by the order and line up strictly;

"2. Do not defecate or spit;

"3. If there is a dispute, please find the guard of the hall;

"4. Canned wolffish can't be opened in any room!"

What is this?Crane raised an eyebrow.
