"Wait, wait, this is ——??"

Her gaze froze on the tarot cards in Chapter 3, and the mage girl frowned, as if she was thinking about something. She opened her mouth several times to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back, several times and three times.

Several fist-sized white light sources swirled back and forth above the people's heads, the orbits unstable and seemingly irregular, but in fact they changed according to everyone's position, ensuring that everyone had plenty of light and a good view.

Moreover, Yu Yan has been looking down at the tarot cards in her hand, and she has not deliberately paid attention to the maintenance and control of this illumination technique that creates magic light, so it is conceivable that her attainment in spells has reached an extremely high level. Not only has she long been free from the barriers of the magic system of the dark world, but even the simple division of elements such as 'electricity', 'ice', and 'fire' can no longer become her shackles.

- If you only know that magic is the manifestation of the different attributes of the elements, and you can only see the energy of frost, fire and thunder, but you can't find some of the same but more subtle energy, such as shadow, light, etc., then you can only say that the cultivation system of this magic system is still very young, just starting, and has not been able to set foot in more advanced fields.

"Ahem, sister, what's wrong?! Did it turn out badly? ”

Seeing that the girl had not made a sound, the gunman, who vaguely felt a kind of uneasiness, finally couldn't help coughing, and then reminded the distracted mage girl with his more tactful way of speaking as much as possible. Of course, it was the tone and question that he thought were more euphemistic.

But Yu Yan didn't notice such a problem now, she shook her head gently, and said as if distressed: "It's not ......"

At this time, the others finally noticed that something was wrong, and while they were vigilant about the periphery, they came up to ask. In the great nave of this ancient church, although everyone did not perceive any special and real danger, let alone the reaction of any enemy, the inexplicable evil and the ominous sense that almost haunted their hearts were also very uneasy.

The mage girl looked at everyone helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Anlaan, you don't have to worry too much, it's not that there is any danger, but this divination should be ...... It should be considered invalid, right? ”

"Void? Why? Isayama Huangquan looked shocked, she had been listening to it before, "Didn't you interpret it just now?" What happens next is smooth sailing, but at the end of the day, you will meet unimaginable people or things—"

"No, Sister Huangquan, a total of three cards were drawn, but only the first two were interpreted, and the third one could not be interpreted...... "The mage girl explained helplessly, "Isn't this equivalent to the invalidation of this divination?" ”

"Do you have to decipher all three?"

Yu Yan seemed to be stumped by such a question that should not be a problem in theory, her smile was a little reluctant, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly:

"Sister Huangquan, don't laugh, if you don't need to decipher all three, why draw three cards...... Each delicate card has its own unique pattern and meaning, and only when arranged and combined in the right way can it be meaningful, and it will be able to indicate the general direction of fate. ”

Perhaps noticing that the others had a look of confusion on their faces, she sighed and explained further.

"But that's just the usage of ordinary people, and most of them are misinterpretations, or a small number of blind cats can meet dead mice, so people think that they can really predict the future. In fact, there are many types of tarot cards, I am afraid that there are more than four digits, the number of a thousand, and there is no absolute authority of the general rule, how can such a divination be so accurate? ”

As she spoke, Yu Yan raised the tarot cards in her hand: "It's like this deck of cards in my hand, in addition to the most basic twenty-two main cards and fifty-six decks, there are twenty-one cards that are completely unknown...... Well, that means the deck itself is a real magic item, and in addition to the seventy-eight foundation cards that are determined, there are twenty-one cards that are completely indeterminate. Only when I enter the magic power during each divination, the uncertain cards drawn will temporarily change the pattern......"

"What's the point?" The gunman touched the back of his head with an inexplicable expression.

"So that's fate! If it is true that all cards are fixed, then both position and meaning, even from a human perspective, are extremely limited in relation to unpredictable fate......"

Yu Yan glanced at her eldest brother deeply, and said this meaningfully, but the words that came out had a kind of meaning that was not shocking and endless.

"My prophetic mentor told me that if you use a limited number of definite cards to predict fate, then it will take at least 40 million cards with different meanings and patterns to do so, and it will only be limited to determining the approximate fate of a few people, and it will not cover many fields......"

Asagami Fujino seemed to understand, and the eldest lady smiled softly, and her tone was as soft and elegant as the surface: "So, the problem is the third card?" ”

The mage girl nodded again and again, and said with a serious face: "That's right, that's it...... I can't read the third card at all, so it's impossible to decipher! …… But as I've said before, fate is the most elusive, and prophecy is also the most difficult to master among spells, and this kind of thing happens a lot, so it's actually quite normal—"

As she spoke, she showed the card to the crowd. The tarot cards were passed around each other in everyone's hands, Isayama Huangquan frowned, and Asagami Fujino was slightly moved. However, the gunman's expression became very strange, and so did Nayako's expression.

The silver-haired and blue-eyed beautiful girl pinched the tarot card with her white and tender little hands, hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right, there should be something wrong with divination, there must be no other reason......

"Huh? Nayako, what do you seem to know? ”

Naiako pursed her lips, her eyes hesitating and before she could say anything, the gunman sighed and spoke first: "This pattern—if I'm not mistaken, should be the one who has lived all things and all things are one, Yog Sotos. ”

Isayama Huangquan said: "Which one is who?" ”

The silver-haired and blue-eyed evil god girl turned her body and brushed her long hair slightly: "That's ...... My teacher. ”

"That's right, Yog Sothos is the head of the Three Pillars of the Genshin Impact in the Cthulhu Mythos, and it is generally believed that he is second only to the head of the Demon God, Azatoth...... Huh?! Wait, what did you just say?! He's your teacher?! ”

The gunman nodded with a serious face and agreed. Then halfway through the words, he realized that something was wrong, and his eyes widened, and people were worried that his jaw would fall to the ground and he would never be able to pick it up again.

The exorcist girl finally nodded clearly, clasped her hands and said, "Then I believe this is a divination error, and there is no reason for her teacher to appear here...... So what's next? ”

Nayako turned away from her, the woman didn't understand what the point was.

Yu Yan raised her hand a little timidly at this time, "Or, I'll do divination again?" ”

……

……

Half an hour later.

"That-prophecy is really a very, very advanced field, and it involves time, cause and effect, fate, and so on......"

The mage girl was about to cry now, and she waved her staff, trying to defend herself, but she didn't dare to make too much noise, as if she was afraid of alarming those things that should sleep forever in the dark abyss.

"I'm really just a concurrent in the spell field of this department, and I don't have any attainments at all, maybe, maybe...... It could all be wrong. ”

Although she almost cried and gave that explanation, the others were stiff and numb, or it was more appropriate to say that their heads were full of black lines. No one really believed what she said, not at all - not even the gunman sighed and couldn't speak.

As I said before, I only know that I only know how to use the power of the elements to destroy, and I don't know that advanced plastic energy is just a fledgling magic system. As for the advanced level, it is naturally a step further and has more detailed fields, such as the cultivation system on the magic side of the elemental system, the plant system, the illusion system, the alchemy system, and so on.

Only when it sets foot in the realm of time, fate, and the void can it be the crystallization of the wisdom of a true magical civilization, which can build an arcane empire and become a mysterious system that threatens the gods of the world.

As for the most ferocious at the moment, it is still the most representative of the demon gods in the forbidden demon - the magician whose magic technology has entered the peak and reached the realm of gods. They are not born gods, but are sublimated by humans, and it is humans who meet special conditions who have undergone an astronomical amount of preparation before they can set foot at the top of the pyramid known as demon gods.

They became them, and had mastered magic completely, the ultimate form of magicians.

It can dominate all laws, destroy and create the world with ease.

However, Yu Yan is probably still in the second tier at present, and she may not be too far away from becoming the top spellcaster of the Arcane Empire, but if she wants to reach the ultimate level of the Demon God, she can't see any hope for the time being. However, this is enough to prove that she is definitely a qualified spellcaster, and it may be a bit far from being a master level, but it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an expert level.

Besides, even if she took 10,000 steps back, her magic skills were not good at all.

A deck of tarot cards is drawn nearly a hundred times in a row, and each time three cards are drawn, each time at random...... As a result, the results of these nearly 100 draws are exactly the same, whether it is the face of the three cards or the order in which they are drawn, it has never changed. - Such a thing, whether it is a supernatural event or a thriller story, can no longer be explained by coincidence.

The others were just a little ugly, but the gunman and Nayako were already ...... Anyway, among the people present, there are only two of them who really understand the Cthulhu Mythos.

In such a silent atmosphere, the ominous atmosphere seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

With the exception of the three main doors on the front, the doors inside the church are not locked, so people can freely enter from one room to another. However, the ground was covered with a mountain of dust, and there were long strings of huge cobwebs everywhere overhead, and the only thing to be thankful for was that although the cobwebs were everywhere, the spiders never existed, as if they lived and lived, and suddenly one day, all of them went on a group trip, and they still haven't returned.

However, such an unusual discovery made people even more worried.

It wasn't until they found a decayed table and a few moldy bookshelves with high ceilings in the worship room at the back of the semicircular apse that the panic finally reached a terrible tipping point—there were many rotten and broken books on the tables and shelves, and they were all ancient books, all of which were forbidden evil things.

However, as the apostles of time and space, Naiako and the others all saw the brilliance of some different levels of color light from it.

Skill scrolls?!

Subconsciously flashed such a thought, and everyone naturally came up. As a result, although some of them belong to skill scrolls, they don't seem to be skills for people to use, or those that require blood sacrifices, skinning and other dark rituals as a price, or even the sequelae of being forced to associate with an evil god after use.

Naiako even pulled out three pages of the original fragments of the Book of the Necromy, as well as the Latin manuscripts of the Book of Ebonn and the Secret of the Worm, although they were not the original texts, but they also belonged to the earliest part of the original manuscript version, and the dazzling aura almost blinded people's eyes, and the others could only turn their vision to normal vision.

"Seven, seven stars?" Just glanced at it, and found that the three fragments that Naiako pulled out, any single one actually had a seven-star evaluation, and Isayama Huangquan's expression froze.

She subconsciously wanted to see what kind of mystery was recorded in this magic book, which was so cruel, but just by looking at it, her face changed greatly, as if her palm was burned by fire, and she directly threw out the three pages of the "Book of Death".

"Hey! What are you doing! Nayako shouted in dissatisfaction, and rushed out with small steps to pick up the three fragments.

"I just wanted to ask you what you are doing!! Don't you throw away that kind of thing and keep it for the New Year? Huang Quan asked sharply, his face still a little pale. Just a quick glance at what she saw made her feel terrified, it was not at all a picture that a sane human being should see, and she didn't even have time to translate those symbols and drawings into understanding, so she subconsciously took action.

"Hmph, narrow morality of good and evil—let me tell you, in such a world, the laws, interests, and emotions of ordinary human beings are completely meaningless in the vast universe."

"You ——!!"

Yu Yan and Asagami Fujino hurriedly went up and stopped the two guys who had different ideas.

Some people are still not born to be friends.

After the skirmish, it was quickly pacified, but a certain frightening mood could not disappear so easily, after all, although the things that they just got their hands were not suitable for most of them, but the value was immeasurable, just like an ordinary person got a large piece of dog's head gold, and there was no way to cash it out, but it would not reduce the value of the dog's head gold itself.

But without any risk, he had obtained so many precious fragments and even manuscripts, but there was not even a small battle, and there were no guardians in this worship room...... Is it really possible for the infinite space to make them such a big bargain out of thin air?

The gunman took a leather-trimmed notebook from the table, flipped through it casually, put it in his storage, and then walked out on the others.

……

……

The rest of the process is very tedious, spiraling through the pointed arches of the promenade and up a ladder of tall and narrow wood...... In a strange feeling of depression and suffocation, they repeated the above acts, searching layer by layer, until they made sure that nothing of value was missing, and at the same time they had a specific and detailed topographical map, and finally they finally reached the tower room at the top of the staircase.

Light leaked in through the four pointed windows on the four walls, dimly illuminating the room, which was just over a square meter.

The four windows shimmered in the light that came through the decaying shutters. There used to be some opaque tight curtains, but now they are mostly rotten, and a strangely shaped, polygonal stone pillar stands on the dusty floor. On each side of the pillar, there are some strange but crude carvings, as well as some completely illegible hieroglyphs.

Around the columns, there are seven mostly preserved Gothic high-backed chairs, forming a rough circle around the central column, and behind them along the walls inlaid with dark panels are seven large statues of black stucco that have long since been crumbled, illegible but presumably of unknown significance. In a cobweb-covered corner, there is a ladder built into the wall that leads to a closed flap door that leads to a windowless spire above.

However, everyone didn't notice these problems, but immediately locked their eyes on a strange metal box with an extremely asymmetrical shape placed on the column.

Its hinged lid flipped back to reveal the inside, and inside the box was something about ten centimeters in size—

It was an egg-shaped, or irregularly spherical object, buried deep in the dust that had accumulated over decades.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Naiko thought for a moment, then nodded lightly, and walked into the tower room nimblely. After all, this dimly lit space is too narrow, and one more person will make it doubly difficult to move, and among the people present, she is the only one who is most suitable to deal with this thing, and the others are not very good candidates.

The silver-haired girl didn't look like anything else at this moment, but approached the column seriously and cautiously, raised her slender white arm and grabbed the entire metal box, and then took it down. Immediately after that, instead of choosing to close the lid, she directly took out a glowing artifact and placed it in the box, right next to the irregular spherical object.

"Let's go."

"Huh? Is it that simple? Yu Yan, who had been holding her breath, almost couldn't lift it in one breath.

"It's not easy at all, this thing must have light to inhibit activation, and if there is no light, it will directly summon the Night Demon. At that time, it will be necessary to force it back to seal it with light again......" The gunman said solemnly, and then cautiously followed behind the evil god girl, and the group quickly descended the stairs and returned to the previous nave.

The process went unexpectedly smoothly, and there were no bloody accidents at all, such as Naiako falling down and falling to the ground, throwing the irregular spherical object into the darkness or something......

A group of people followed and were worried, but in the end, they found that the most stable person was the evil god girl herself, and they all felt a subtle sense of frustration.

"Ah-la-a-la, it's really smooth sailing......" Asakami Fujino chuckled, watching Naiko carefully place the box on the altar, but her eyes were already flowing with brilliant brilliance.

She hadn't forgotten Yu Yan's previous divination at all - first it was very smooth, and then she would meet unimaginable people or things in the end, although it was not clear what it was, but the accident would definitely happen at the end.

The other people were slightly stunned, and then seemed to have thought of this problem, and suddenly became highly nervous and vigilant.

"Huh?"

Naiako let out an onomatopoeia representing surprise at this time, and she raised her hand to pick up the shining cubic octahedron: "This thing...... No, this thing is mine!! ”

"What?" The others couldn't react for a while.

The silver-haired girl lifted the irregular object and looked at it carefully, her face becoming more and more determined: "Absolutely, yes, this thing is mine!" ”

"Wait, you mean this isn't a shining home milahron?!" The gunman's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to see if his mission had been completed.

"No, no, this is indeed a shining home remedies octahedron, but the version is wrong!" Naiako's head shook like a rattle, "This is my own shining home medic octahedron, not the shining home remedies that this world should have, and I can't summon the night demon...... Strange, who exactly put it here, I don't remember where it was before. ”

"Of course it's me!"

There was a soft sneer in the darkness.
