Chapter Seventy-Three: Rendezvous
In the building where the "Rune Antiquities Collection and Conservation Foundation" is located, Audrey, who was boiling in thought, blinked her eyes, paid attention to her small expressions and body movements, drew a crimson moon on her chest half-truthfully, and sighed and said:
"It is truly a tragedy, may their spirits rest in peace. ”
The reason why she had guessed that the person from the archaeological team was a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society was because she had been tasked with helping the organization get a copy of the Twenty Years' War notebook from Associate Professor Michelle, and this notebook belonged to Lindrira, a former knight in the village of Hedrak.
Audrey turned to Mr. "Fool" at that time, and relied on the "Magic Mirror Divination" to confirm the origin of the note, and found that it was closely related to the village where the dragon was worshipped, because she knew in advance that there was a spiritual dragon that could hide in the sea of the collective subconscious, so, considering the lack of her own sequence and strength, she finally chose to hand over the note to the Psychological Alchemy Society.
In other words, it is quite possible that the secret organization of the Psychological Alchemy Society will use that note to lock on to the village of Hedrak and go there to find the target thing.
There is another basis for Audrey's judgment, and that is the strange mental illness that the members of the archaeological team suffer, which can be contagious like a plague, driving the surrounding people crazy one by one.
In the realm of reality, mental illness has a probability of inheritance, but it is almost impossible to infect others, but in the realm of occultism, in the world of spirit and consciousness, chaotic and crazy spirits can indeed infect targets with the help of methods similar to channeling, dreaming, and subconscious influence!
And in the village of Hedrak, there is a spiritual dragon that has lived for an unknown number of years!
The Psychic Alchemist went to the village of Hedrak through the notes, and was cleverly polluted by the threatened psychic dragon, who may have done it through the collective subconscious sea...... The transcendent world is really dangerous, such a 'squad', several selected extraordinary people, just like this, ended their lives in an absurd way, very simply...... Audrey thought as she was glad that she had made a sensible enough choice to take the knight's notebook and go to the village of Hedrak to explore, otherwise, there would be a high probability that she would be added to the list of people who have gone crazy.
Thank you, Mr. "Fool", thank you to the members of the Tarot Society, and thank you to Ziringus who infiltrated in disguise before, so that although I have no practical experience in the field of occultism, I still know that there are too many dangers lurking here, and I must be cautious and careful...... Audrey silently thanked her.
At this time, thinking back to her performance when she first joined the Tarot Society, she couldn't wait to bury her face in the pillow and shouted to herself in her heart:
"Audrey, how could you be so naïve, so naïve!
"That is, if you meet Mr. 'Fool', if you were another hidden existence, you would have become a madman or a monster long ago!
"Mr. 'Fool' is such a good man! No, he is a very good god!"
Associate Professor Michelle next to him saw that Miss Audrey was silent for a long time, and nodded heavily:
"Yes, it's a frightening tragedy.
"I just hope that the government has taken care of this and not let the contagious mental illness become a plague. ”
Rest assured, unless that psychic dragon gets out of control and intends to challenge the three major churches, there will be no more infected people with that mental illness...... Audrey replied silently.
In her opinion, the official extraordinary person should have taken over the matter, after all, contagious mental illness will naturally be handed over.
Therefore, the dragon crest in the glass display case must have been donated to the Foundation after they had confirmed that there was no problem, and the police department did not have this authority!
Audrey felt intense sympathy for the archaeologists who were suspected members of the Psychic Alchemy Society, as if she had experienced the tragedy firsthand, and wondered if the psychic dragon was still in Hedrak and the nearby countryside.
Hiding in the sea of the collective subconscious of living beings in a physical way should be difficult to discover and find...... However, the three major churches all have a long history, and in the Quaternary period, or even earlier, they must have intersected with the Psychic Dragon, and perhaps there are corresponding records that have been handed down...... Moreover, the Psychological Alchemy Society has the "audience" path, there is a high sequence, and the understanding of the collective subconscious sea will not be much worse than that of the Mind Dragon, and after the first exploration suffered a tragic failure due to lack of intelligence, the team sent again must be very powerful...... Well, although that psychic dragon is stronger than the Psychic Alchemy Society expected, it will not stay where it is, waiting for others to come to it, it should have left...... Audrey speculated based on what she knew.
She had no intention of going to the village of Hedrak to find out the truth, because she knew that her current strength was not enough to deal with the mind dragon.
Her only plan at the moment is to bring this matter up to the Tarot meeting next week to see if the other members can give back enough valuable knowledge, for example, because there is a dragon worship custom here, so the mind dragon can directly enter the collective subconscious sea to live, or the mind dragon lives in the collective subconscious sea here, and the surrounding people will dream from time to time and will subconsciously be affected accordingly, so the custom of worshipping the dragon has appeared.
............
On Friday afternoon, Klein took the guest list of those who had accepted the invitation to tomorrow night's ball, and carefully remembered what to talk about with the different guests.
"If you meet Councillor Mahert, you should praise the air of Beckland, and exchange pleasantries with Professor Portland Mormont, and you can make a few jokes related to the Royal Academy of Sciences......" Crane was carrying them one by one, and suddenly his ears rang with an illusory cascading voice of supplication.
A male ...... Calculate the time, and there is a high probability that it is Mr. "Hanged Man"...... Crane thoughtfully put down the paper in his hand, took a sip of black tea, got up and left the semi-open room with a large balcony, and returned to the bathroom in the master bedroom.
He took four backward steps into the gray mist and found that the person who prayed was none other than the "hanged man."
The gentleman asked the great "fool" to tell the "world" that he had arrived at Byam, the capital of the Rorsted Islands, the "city of generosity", and that in two days he had replenished his supplies and was ready to go to the pristine island.
He told the "world" to prepare in advance, so as not to have time to rendezvous, and said that if the other party did not have a good way to go to the primordial island, he could arrange for the "world" to secretly take the "Blue Avenger".
Take the Blue Avenger and take a group of Storm Church sailors to the vicinity of the primordial island?How long will the Bloodline anesthetic gas bought from Emlyn last?Will there be enough time to explore?Crane thought for a moment, manifested the "world" Gelman Sparrow, and made him pray sincerely:
“...... It doesn't need to be so much trouble.
"You should be free to move around in Byam, see you at 12 o'clock tonight at the cemetery outside the city.
"Until then, replenish your supplies. ”
............
Byam, inside a hotel.
Alger frowned slightly as he listened to the words of Gelman Sparrow of the World.
In the "City of Generosity", he was indeed free to move, because the sailors had gone to the "Red Theater" and other places in a hurry, and they would certainly not return tonight, and during the day when they woke up, they would inevitably have to gamble a few handfuls and indulge themselves to their heart's content, in order to vent the depression and anguish of being adrift at sea for a long time.
In other words, even if Alger disappears night and day, he will not be found.
...... "world" means, taking advantage of this void? This is indeed better than anesthetizing the gas with the Bloodline, which has been used twice, and perhaps someone has already doubted it, waiting to be verified...... But how can you get to that pristine island without boats...... Uh, "Lemanno's Travel Notes"? Miss "The Magician" mentions that it records the extraordinary ability of "teleportation", but it is only one page, which is certainly not enough to go back and forth...... Alger relied on his ability to make a vague guess of what Gelman Sparrow wanted to do, but he didn't think it was necessary.
With this in mind, he found a contact with the Resistance and replenished a batch of Storm Realm charms made by white tin.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Alger quietly left the hotel and walked out of the city in the shadows of the street.
He is not worried about the sailors coming back and finding that they are not there, because he also has physical needs, and it is possible that he slept in the bed of a girl in the "Red Theater" and was reluctant to come back, and there are many similar brothels, and there are many street girls, not to say that if there is no one in the "Red Theater", you can know that he has a problem.
Out of Byam, Alger walked on a narrow road where carriages could not pass, halfway up the seaside mountains.
Suddenly, his gaze froze and he noticed something was wrong.
Under the crimson moonlight, a mountain peak that was supposed to exist was gone!
Below, rocks are piled up, vegetation is missing, and the terrain is almost completely changed!
This...... Alger had come from the rebel smuggler harbor before, and he didn't have a chance to pay attention to the mountain here, so he didn't notice anything unusual until this time!
Did the mountain collapse? It actually collapsed? By the way, it was indeed mentioned in the newspaper before that Byam had suffered a shallow earthquake, and the power was concentrated in the mountains outside the city...... Also, the deacon of the church said that Gelman Sparrow almost destroyed Byam, and that there were demigods involved in that event...... The timing of the two is very close...... Could it be that Gelman Sparrow was responsible? He caused a demigod battle, but he managed to escape and kill the "Blood Admiral"? Alger's pupils dilated, his footsteps slowed, and he stopped.
He suddenly understood why the Church of the Storm took Gelman Sparrow so seriously, and why it issued a reward of up to 50,000 pounds!
In the unspoiled cemetery ahead, a cold wind blew out, rushing towards Alger in the silent night, making him shiver a little.
At that moment, Alger's heart moved, and he turned his head sideways and looked behind him.
In the gloomy environment below a giant tree, a figure quickly outlined.
The figure pressed the top hat on his head and slowly raised his head, revealing an emaciated face, deep outlines, and dark brown eyes that contained no emotion, none other than Gelman Sparrow.
