Chapter 182: The Extraordinary Characteristics of the Sheriff
The "Black Emperor"? The "hanged man" who was casually listening to the story of Miss "Justice" suddenly raised his head, and his eyes subconsciously became sharp.
He just learned that the card in Mr. "Fool's" hand was one of the "blasphemous cards" made by Russell the Great, and the name of the card was "Black Emperor"!
Could this have anything to do with Mr. "Fool"? "The Hanged Man" Alger glanced at the top of the bronze table, and then lowered his head.
If it was really Mr. Fool's family who did it, this matter would certainly not be simple...... Alger listened intently to Miss Justice's subsequent description.
The "magician" Falth, who had known about this from Hugh and had some guesses, also quietly glanced at Mr. "Fool", wanting to get a glimpse of the truth of the matter from the reaction of this hidden being, but the fool in the thick gray fog was as calm as usual.
"Justice" Audrey, who also had no gain, paused and continued:
"The victim was a wealthy man named Capin, who was rumored to be the biggest human trafficker in Beckland, and the grand thief 'Black Emperor' infiltrated his villa, took his life, and rescued many innocent girls imprisoned in dungeons.
"When Kapin's body was found, it was covered with a suit of tarot cards with the faces of 'Judgment' and 'Emperor'. ”
She didn't mention the safe because she didn't think it mattered.
Covered with tarot cards? This is the sign of action of the Tarot Society? Wait a minute, "human traffickers?" and "The Hanged Man" Alger has keenly captured a phrase.
Turning thoughtfully to the top of the long bronze table, he humbly asked:
"Mr. 'Fool', Kapin has something to do with the disappearance of slaves in the colonies?"
The latter was given to him by the Storm Church, who had targeted a suspect named Barron and asked for help from the "Justice", "Magician", and "World" in Beckland.
Therefore, as soon as he heard about "human traffickers", Alger intuitively believed that there was a certain connection with the fact that many tribes in the southern continent had evaporated out of thin air, and many slaves had fled from many islands in the Sunia Sea.
He thinks that only this kind of thing, which seems to be hiding some secret, can interest Mr. "Fool".
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is the actions of Mr. "Fool's family" that are done autonomously, and he cannot wait for everything to be arranged, just like a manipulated puppet...... "Hanged Man" Alger thinks.
Kapin has something to do with the recent disappearance of colonial slaves?If you think about it, you can't rule out the possibility that there are four extraordinary people in his villa, which is not normal in itself...... Even if a rich man like him hires an extraordinary person as a bodyguard, he will have at most a Sequence 7 plus two Sequence 8 or Sequence 9 configurations, and that Heras at that time, counting magical items, is equivalent to a strong person in Sequence 5...... Klein was reminded by the words of the "upside-down hanged man", and thought of a lot at once, and felt that things could be vaguely strung together.
However, he couldn't be sure of his guess, so he could only skip the question of the "upside-down hanged man" directly, and chuckled:
"My dependents have made a small contribution to this matter. ”
Sure enough, "Justice" Audrey's eyes lit up and she cheered in her heart.
Really...... This was the first thing I had ever encountered in reality related to the Tarot Society...... "Magician" Furth was half delighted and half sighed.
"The Hanged Man" Alger believes that Mr. "Fool" indirectly proves his guess:
Kaping, a human trafficker, is definitely not simple, otherwise he would not let a secret dependents take action, and there is a high probability that an unsimple human trafficker has some kind of connection with the disappearance of a non-simple slave.
Without waiting for Miss "Justice" to speak, "Fool" Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the ancient long table, and added in a leisurely tone:
"In this case, he has obtained the legacy traits of two extraordinary beings, and hopes to sell them as soon as possible, one corresponding to the 'Sheriff' of Sequence 8 and the other of the 'Inquisitor' corresponding to Sequence 7. ”
Sheriff, Interrogator...... Isn't this the "arbiter" route in the hands of the House of Augustus, which was only accessible to members of the royal family, the ancient nobility, and the military...... Is it one of them behind Capin?It is not ruled out that the Castile family of the Fenerport Kingdom may be...... "Hanged Man" Alger frowned slightly, and felt more and more that the disappearance of the slave was not so simple.
"Justice" Audrey thought about the same as him, and he didn't expect that the extraordinary person in the Caping Villa turned out to be the "arbiter" path.
It is impossible for the forces that have mastered the corresponding formula to collude with the human trafficker Kaping...... Audrey pursed her lips slightly, confused and confused.
"Sheriff"? "Magician" Firth knew that his friend Hugh was accumulating the cost of potion materials for this sequence, so he sat up straight and asked puzzledly:
"Mr. Fool, what is the legacy of the Extraordinary?"
This is not the reaction I expected, shouldn't I have asked how many gold pounds directly? Also, I don't seem to have told Miss "The Magician" about the conservation of extraordinary properties and the law of immortality...... Klein was slightly stunned, and then quickly considered his tone.
And at this time, "Justice" Audrey took the initiative to speak:
"Mr. Fool, may I answer this question? ”
She was friends with Forth, and volunteered for fear that Mr. "Fool" would no longer share that knowledge.
"No problem. Crane responded with a smile.
Miss "Justice" is always anxious about what I am anxious about...... He sighed in his heart.
Whew, "Justice" Audrey breathed a sigh of relief silently, turned to face Furth, and deliberately said without aristocratic pronunciation and proper words:
Do you want to know the answer?
"What are you willing to pay in return?"
"Magician" Firth nodded without hesitation:
"Of course!"
She looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist, and asked respectfully:
"Mr. Fool, can I pay for another chapter of 'Spiritual Observations'?"
She emphasized "additionally" because she knew that the chapter of "Spiritual Observations" given to Mr. "The World" had to be sacrificed to Mr. "The Fool" first, and that knowledge that could be browsed at any time did not seem to have the value of being traded.
It's not that she suspects that a god-level big man like Mr. "Fool" will peek, but she thinks it's more sincere to change the chapter.
Sometimes, all the big guys care about is your attitude...... Foirth had read similar words in many places.
Crane, who leaned back in his chair, replied in a tone of indifference:
"Yes. ”
"Thank you, Mr. 'Fool'. "Magician" Furth smiled uncontrollably.
She intuitively thought that she would be exposed to some hidden high-level knowledge!
"Justice" Audrey was completely relieved, and said with a light smile:
"In the transcendent world, there is such a law, remember, a law.
"In the proximity path, the total amount of extraordinary characteristics is conserved, it does not decrease, it does not increase, it only moves from one thing to another, it only changes from one form to another.
"Therefore, after the death of the extraordinary, his characteristics will be precipitated, which is equivalent to the main material of the potion, as long as the corresponding auxiliary materials are known, the potion of the sequence can be used to concoct it, well, except for the ones left by the out-of-control, there are too many hidden dangers, and they can only be used as utensils. ”
When the Extraordinary One dies, his properties will be precipitated, equivalent to the main material of the potion? At this moment, it was like lightning flashed through Firth's mind, and she understood many things at once.
It turned out that the relics given to me by Mrs. Ann Lisa were of her own extraordinary nature...... It turns out that every extraordinary person is equivalent to walking material in the eyes of others...... It's dark...... Firth's fists clenched suddenly, and he felt that the transcendent world was inherently full of madness.
However, she did not feel sick because she was taking the extraordinary characteristic promotion left by Mrs. Ann Lisa, which gave her a faint sense of warmth.
After the loss of her mother, before she met Hugh, Mrs. Anne Lisa was the best person to her, and for Firth, it was a sad but warm experience to be able to inherit the other's relics and let her always be with her.
"So it was, the law of conservation and immortality of extraordinary properties...... In other words, the characteristics left by the Extraordinary as a 'Sheriff' are equivalent to the entire main material of the potion?" Firth asked, inquiringly.
"Yes. Audrey thought of Hugh too.
"Magician" Furth immediately stood up and saluted the mysterious being who looked down on everything:
"Mr. 'Fool', could you please keep your dependents for a while more of the Extraordinary Legacy trait corresponding to the 'Sheriff'? I want to buy it, but I don't have enough money for the time being, give me another week, okay?"
"Yes. "Klein put on an attitude that I didn't care about it at all.
Furth breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked:
"How many gold pounds do your dependents expect to receive for this?"
Sequence 8 corresponds to extraordinary materials at around £300 per piece...... Klein smiled:
"600 pounds. ”
After reporting the numbers, he immediately changed the subject, as a way to show that he didn't care about the legacy characteristics of the Sequence 8 Extraordinary.
He looked around, and showed a few pieces of parchment:
"This is the meaning of some of Russell's secret symbols, which is free knowledge so that you can better collect the diary. ”
This includes the numeric part and the year, month, and day part.
The reason why Klein wanted to teach the Tarot members this knowledge was because he was afraid that they would buy fakes later.
The date alone excludes at least the vast majority of counterfeit products...... Klein chuckled inwardly.
"Justice" Audrey and the others were extremely surprised, they didn't expect to have such a harvest in the end, although they had found that the secret symbols on the parchment were the simplest ones, but they all believed that this was a good start, with the first time, there was a second time, a third time!
After a few more exchanges, Klein said in a calm tone:
"That's the end of today's meeting. ”
"Follow your wishes. Audrey, Alger, and the others got up at the same time and saluted.
The crimson light dissipated, and the ancient palace above the gray mist was once again quiet, leaving Crane alone in the high-backed chair that belonged to the "Fool".
