Chapter VIII Self-recommendation
"Moon Puppet" ...... Firth's heart moved, and he withdrew his divergent attention and looked sideways at the party members who had just spoken.
The gentleman in the iron black mask had taken out a small puppet and showed it around:
"A friend of mine found a small burial mound deep in the valley of the Paz River in the southern continent, and this puppet was inserted in the right eye socket of one of the deceased. ”
Firth, like the rest of the party, examined the puppet and saw that it was slender and more like a small stake, carved with crescent-like eyes and mouth, and inlaid with sun-dried dead grass and flowers.
It doesn't look special...... Firth muttered inwardly, untouched by the inspiration, the pen she held still hovering over a copper-green notebook.
The gentleman in the iron black mask continued:
"Neither my friend nor I have been able to confirm what this puppet does, but we suspect that it is not so simple and may be hiding a lot of secrets.
"Sixty pounds, for only sixty pounds, you can buy it, this price is very fair, even if it really has nothing to do with the occult realm, it is a good antique, it can be worth forty or fifty pounds.
"That is to say, spending £10 on a surprise is a small amount of money for you. ”
It's tempting to say that this gentleman should be a successful salesman, but I don't even have 10 pounds...... While laughing at himself, Foirth thought that no one present would buy the so-called "moon puppets" of unknown origin and function.
As soon as her thoughts came to her, she suddenly heard a deliberately lowered female voice sound:
"50 pounds. ”
Is this too rich, willing to gamble on luck?Furth subconsciously turned his head to look at the party members who spoke, and saw that the lady was wearing a hooded robe, and her face was hidden in the shadows.
At this time, the owner of the "moon puppet" laughed and said:
"Then I'd rather keep it for myself, maybe I'll find out when it's special. ”
As he spoke, he found that no one else had raised the price, so he changed the subject:
"Of course, as a gentleman, since you have expressed your desire and the price is reasonable, then I am willing to fulfill your wish. ”
"Deal. The hooded lady replied in a deep voice.
Soon, the party host's attendant helped them complete the deal, and Foirth noticed a slight tremor in the lady's palms when she got the "moon puppet".
She values this item very much...... She probably really knew how special the puppet was...... Moon Puppet ...... Moon...... From the Southern Continent...... Furth suddenly thought of the Primordial Moon believers that Mr. Moon was hoping to find, and was a little suspicious that the hooded lady was one of them, or that there was a connection.
Of course, she didn't have any evidence, and even the reasons for her speculation didn't seem strong enough.
Call...... Forth let out a silent sigh and decided to find a way to verify it.
She casually flipped through the hard-shell notes in her hand, revealing a page of yellow-brown parchment.
The paper is printed with a variety of deep and light lines, which form a strange picture of unknown imagery and simple and mysterious.
This is one of the pages of the "Lemanno Travel Notes", which records an extraordinary ability.
It is not one of the five pages that Foirth later found an opportunity to record one after another, but one of the five pages that already existed.
Forth raised his head, pretending to observe someone else's deal, taking in all the situation next to the hooded lady.
She noticed a dark brown spotted mosquito sticking to a nearby wall, and an unknown bug crawling slowly across the ground.
Forthth's fingers slid naturally and lightly over the dark patterns on the tawny parchment, and a complex symbol quickly took shape in his mind.
Silently and without the slightest anomaly, she felt that she had "read" the spotted brown mosquito, and that her own thoughts were connected to the other's thoughts.
The spotted brown mosquito flew up and flew very low.
It went underneath the hooded lady and carefully pressed in front of her.
The spotted brown mosquito had a different vision than a human, forming an incomprehensible vision in Forth's mind, but it quickly disintegrated and reassembled, outlining a corresponding normal picture:
The hooded lady had a softer silhouette, a darker complexion, slender eyebrows, and a more drooping mouth.
Firth immediately recognized the other person, she was none other than Windsor Behring, the follower of the "Primordial Moon" that Mr. Moon was looking for!
A valid clue is 100 pounds, and it is directly locked in 500 pounds!
Her first instinct was to drive the spotted brown mosquito to bite Windsor Behring normally and suck her blood, so that she could then directly lock on to the other party's whereabouts with the help of "astrology".
However, after struggling for a while, she gave up on the idea, because it was the most taboo behavior at the Extraordinary Gathering, and if she was discovered, she would definitely be besieged to death by all the party members.
And the convener of the party always has good strength, and if he goes too far, it is easy to be noticed by the other party!
Well, just make 100 pounds, and then have an extra chance to think about the direct lock-in...... I'd have to leave the party early and put blood on the surface of "Lemanno's Travel Notes" lest I get lost, which would be dangerous...... Forth suppressed his frustration and made a final decision.
In fact, her behavior just now has crossed the line a little, which makes her not want to stay too long.
............
Hilston, inside an upscale hotel.
Crane stood behind a bay window, quietly admiring the red moon and thin clouds high in the sky.
I don't know how long it took, he straightened the gray hair on his sideburns and reached out to close the curtains.
Then, he busily moved the radio receiver back to the real world and pre-empted most of the smell.
This time, he only waited for about ten seconds before he felt the room darkened and heard the clatter of the radio receiver.
Klein leaned over and saw an illusory piece of white paper being spit out, written in Run's script:
"Great host, look to the right!"
Right...... Crane turned his head amusedly and confusedly and looked to the side.
Everywhere he looked, there was a full-length mirror, which had become so dark that it seemed to have been coated with ink.
As soon as Klein's thought flashed, the full-length mirror suddenly brightened, and one after another illusory ceremonial flowers rushed into the air, blooming and falling, gorgeous and gorgeous.
At the same time, a line of golden rune appeared in the center of the full-length mirror:
"Welcome back, my great master!"
At this moment, although "Magic Mirror" Arodes did not make a sound, Crane inexplicably felt that it was screaming hoarsely.
The ceremonial flowers subsided, and the golden words twisted and recombined to form a new text:
"Great master, your humble and loyal servant Arodes would like to ask, is there anything that can be of service to you?"
Crane was very accustomed to this, and said skillfully:
"Answer my question. ”
The golden word reorganizes again:
"Thank you for your answer, you can ask questions. ”
Klein said preparedly:
"Where did the evil spirits go in the ruins of Williams Street?"
On the full-length mirror, the golden words froze for several seconds and slowly disappeared, while the background of the blooming ceremonial flowers blurred at first, then clear, and moved to another scene.
The scene was an abandoned chapel, littered with withered vines, strewn with gray stones and droppings from birds and beasts.
Klein was familiar with this, and this was where he and Miss Sharon had spoken to the evil spirits in the first place.
Zooming in, Klein sees a small and not deep crater in the half-collapsed corner of the chapel, with obvious finger pulling marks on the inside.
Miss "The Magician" mentioned this...... Klein's thoughts surged, and a cold and smiling voice came from the screen:
"Happy working together!"
As the words reveal the dirt, the scene suddenly blurs and distorts, turning into a stirred water surface, and finally shattering completely.
Happy to work with...... To whom is the evil spirit saying happy cooperation?
To make an angelic polymer of the "hunter" path speak in this tone, the person opposite should not be low, and may even reach the angelic level, but why should he dig a hole with his hands? He should have more ways to do it easier and less time-wasting......
The angel itself was also restricted? Well, like the old man inside Leonard? yes, Leonard was in Beckland at the time! That's a clue, but there are various other possibilities, angelic steps are not the same as angels......
Who did the evil spirit manipulate Pound to contact from the baron? In this way, the spies of Intis and Fursack are all smoke bombs deliberately set by the evil spirits, and they are worthy of being "conspirators...... One thought after another flashed through Klein's mind, and he turned to "Magic Mirror" Arodes:
"Second question, I now have three housekeeper options, who do you think is more suitable?"
The golden Rune words emerged one after another:
"If you choose Riebuck and Walter, you can have some extra development, and Asnia is the most professional and the most 'ordinary'. ”
Well...... The two who came from the Duke Negan family and the Viscount Conrad family really have additional ...... Klein nodded thoughtfully and said:
"It's your turn to ask. ”
At this time, a bunch of golden words suddenly poured out:
"Great master, what do you think of me as a butler, as long as you can bring me out of the Steam Church, I can be the best butler in the world!"
...... Klein hesitated for a second, then replied tactfully:
"Not yet. ”
The golden words on the full-length mirror suddenly dimmed, and then they glowed brightly, and they squirmed and reorganized:
"Okay.
"Your faithful and humble servant Arodes will be patient. ”
Immediately afterward, a complex pattern appeared on the full-length mirror, accompanied by an explanatory text:
"It's a rune made up of corresponding symbols and magical signs, great master, as long as you're still in Beckland, and write it on paper, you'll be notifying me to come. ”
A blend of symbols that represent stealth and peeping...... Klein made a slight discernment:
"Good. ”
