Chapter 84: Exchanges at the Tarot Meeting
What exactly does the "tower" want to do? He had previously shown an understanding of the "fools...... Is it to help Mr. "Fool" return to the real world step by step? What's in it for him?
Alger looked at the "tower" beside him, and felt that every word he said was very meaningful, and decided to write it down as much as he could, and then slowly figure it out when he returned.
Audrey's current occult knowledge was not enough for her to accurately understand the meaning of the ritual of "sacrifice", and she just thought it sounded powerful.
Crane didn't bother to observe the reactions of several members, he first picked up the diary submitted by Miss "Justice", lowered his gaze, and looked at it.
No oil? Is it because for some reason I can't find it, or is there really none? It has been more than 150 years since the assassination of Russell the Great, and there is still no trace of oil......
Patriotic health campaign? It turns out that the sanitary environment of the city in the time of the Great is so poor......
Finally, O Emperor, what is the name of the ancient, secretive, secretive, and secretive organization that you are talking about as a retreat? Is it something I don't know? Why don't you write it out?
After reading this page of the diary, Klein slandered a few times, and then thought: The content of this page of the diary should be located after he became the consul of the Republic of Intis, maybe he called himself Julius Caesar. I had to go back and flip through the book to see what year Intis's 'Capital Sewer and Public Toilet Improvement Program' appeared.
Thinking so, he picked up the diary that Mr. "Tower" had previously revealed, and as a result, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a little as soon as he looked at him.
"On the 2nd of July, I met Mrs. Ossaith at the ball, and she was such a stunner."
Due to the complexity of the Chinese characters, coupled with Abner's deliberate efforts, the volume of each character has been magnified a lot, so there is only one sentence on this page.
I'm going to help the "Tower" communicate the dangerous seals just because of that? I hope the latter is valuable.
Klein took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and turned the second page.
"On the Fourth of March, I read a story about the son of the Dragon King in the collection of Sauron's house, which was written as it really was, saying that it could weave real nightmares in reality, make many creatures join in unconsciously, and then give the most cruel and terrifying ending......"
This page is much more standardized, and the content is complete, and compared with the page just now, it finally has some value...... But the myth of a giant dragon doesn't help me much.
Crane shook his head slightly disappointed and picked up the third page.
"That wild beauty I slept with last week turned out to be a royal descendant of the former Bairan Empire?"
This...... I don't even know the date, and I don't know what day I copied it from my diary...... But the Emperor, the scope of your "friendship" is too wide, and this has gone to the Southern Continent......
Klein resisted the desire to continue complaining, and was silent for more than ten seconds, before he gathered his messy thoughts and let the diary in his hand disappear directly:
"You can communicate."
Audrey has returned to the state of "audience" at this time, and said with a light smile:
"I wonder if there's a sequence potion with the name 'Arbiter', and besides, what kind of extraordinary' can 'open the door' directly on the wall?"
I know that...... Crane, shrouded in gray mist, was about to speak, but was preempted by the upside-down hangman:
"I need you to help me investigate something in exchange for an answer."
"What's the matter?" Audrey asked, interested and confused.
Alger glanced at the Fool, then at the "Tower" beside him, and seeing that he had not reacted to his preemptive answer, he groaned:
"I wonder if the king intends to take revenge on the Fersak Empire by this year or by June next year and start a new war on the east coast of Byron."
This is because I am afraid that I will give Miss "Justice" free knowledge and cut off his financial route, so I can't wait to answer? Or is he testing my attitude again? Or even to test my nationality and position through this commission to Miss Justice?
Abner analyzes the connotation behind the hangman's act and thinks it should be both. However, he did not wish to answer the question, because Miss Justice was obviously asking about Hugh and Forth's potion sequence, and they, especially Hugh, were his approved friends, even if they didn't matter, even if they wouldn't mind, but Abner didn't want to sell the information without their consent.
It was a sign of respect for a friend, as if Hugh had not told him about Forth's residence.
After Miss "Justice" agreed to the commission and successfully repaid the price with the "Hanged Man", Alger replied: "The extraordinary person who can 'open the door' everywhere should be the Sequence 9 'Apprentice', Mr. 'Tower' has already introduced in the last Tarot Society, the secret organization Gnosis Society has this formula, but it is not excluded that it may be obtained from other sources, such as in the ancient tomb belonging to the Quaternary." ”
Gnostic, the vest organization of the Witch Sect in the mouth of Mr. "Tower"? Klein rubbed his chin with his fingers leisurely, not knowing what was in mind.
Seeing that neither Mr. Fool nor Mr. Tower refuted, Audrey couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"If there had been a formula for 'apprenticeship', maybe I wouldn't have chosen 'audience'."
Alger paid no attention to Miss Justice's words, and continued to himself:
"It is true that there is a sequence potion with a similar name to 'arbiter', and I think you should be familiar with it, because the sequence path mastered by the Augustus family and the Castile family of the Fenerport kingdom is the beginning of this, of course, the recipe of the low sequence has been a reward in ancient times, and some nobles may have obtained it."
The House of Augustus was the royal family of the Kingdom of Rune, and the Castian family was the royal family of the Kingdom of Fenerport.
"It turns out that the Augustus started as 'arbiters'...... No wonder I always subconsciously obey their arrangements......" Audrey suddenly felt that she had solved a puzzle that had puzzled her for a long time.
Then, she nodded slowly, leaned back slightly, and said elegantly, "I have no problem." ”
Abner looked at Audrey at this time and asked, "Is there any news about the 'heart of the Elder Tree'?" ”
Audrey changed her sitting position again, leaned forward, put her hands together on the long table, shook her head apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tower, I didn't hear about it. ”
"It's okay, Miss Justice. It always hides itself well. Abner was disappointed, but not discouraged.
He remembered that in the original book, whether it was the "fruit of the elder tree" needed by the "audience" pathway, or the "rhizome crystallization of the elder tree" needed by the "sun" pathway, it was finally provided by "moon" Emlin.
In other words, the Blood Clan should have materials related to the Elder Tree in their hands...... Thinking of this, Abner decided that when he returned, he might be able to find a suitable opportunity to contact Emlyn and see if he could find a way to get from him.
Hey, why didn't the Duke of the Bloodline who stopped me in East Chester County leave a means of communication?
Seeing that the "tower" had also finished communicating, Alger thought for a moment, looked sideways at Abner beside him, and asked:
"Erudite Mr. Tower, I would like to ask one thing, is the real Creator 'Sanctuary' proclaimed by the Aurora Society the legendary 'Godforsaken'?"
Sure enough, you asked me...... It seems that the sacrifice just now has terrified Alger so much that he doesn't dare to test Mr. Fool easily, so he wants to start with me indirectly?
Abner had expected this, and he responded with a smile: "Mr. 'Hangman', your question is dangerous! ”
Alger's heart skipped a beat, the last time he had seen Mr. "Tower" talk so cautiously about knowledge was when he was talking about "The Original Witch...... Could it be that the true creator is really a true god on the same level as the seven gods?
"The true Creator, though 'depraved', is also the true God, and in the War of the Four Emperors, He is on the side of the Black Emperor......" Abner said from the side, and then admonished, "After leaving Mr. Fool's sight, you had better stop talking about these things." ”
Although this sentence was short-lived, the information revealed made Crane and Alger's hearts stir.
"Tower" means...... The Black Emperor lost the Battle of the Four Emperors, so the True Creator was forced to move the sanctuary away from the Northern Continent?
It was a long time before Alger turned his attention to Mr. Fool at the top, hoping that he would comment on Mr. Tower's words.
Crane naturally saw the meaning of the hanging man, but he didn't know much about the Godforsaken Land and the real Creator, and only saw a few words in the information of the Night Watch and Russell's diary, so after thinking about it for a few seconds, he replied in a flat tone:
"It's not something you should know by now."
Alger's heart tightened, and he immediately bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me for my little transgression." ”
Next, Audrey, who found that the atmosphere was a little delicate, took the initiative to ask Mr. Fool if he could join another organization, such as the "Psychological Alchemy Society", and what he would need to pay when he needed protection.
Klein had already thought about this matter for a week, so he chuckled: "No problem, my only request is not to divulge the existence of the Tarot Society." And if you want to get the corresponding protection, you'll need to collect some Russell diaries for me. "The exact amount of collection depends on when I am able to provide asylum services......
After Audrey finished asking, Abner remembered that Hugh had dreamed of the unknown ancient dragon, hesitated for a moment, and asked Mr. Fool, "If you find a gentleman or lady who is suitable for the Tarot Society, can you guide them to join?" How to guide? What are the criteria for subsequent members of our congregation to join? And how can you tell? ”
Klein was silent for a few seconds before he spoke:
"If you think it's appropriate, you can tell me here, and it's up to me to decide whether to let him join or not, until then, you can't do anything implicit, that will lead to the leakage of the secrets of the Tarot Society's existence, you have to remember, for non-party members, ......"
"You shall not recite my name without my permission."
This one is a bit powerful...... Abner sighed, and then began to think in his heart about how to let Hugh also be included in Crane's sight, after all, the gift given to her by the ancient dragon was really a hidden danger, and he was still not at ease without going through the "Source Castle" to kill the virus.
……
After cutting off contact with all the members of the party, Klein, who sat silently at the head of the ancient bronze table, seriously recalled what had happened at the party just now.
"The act of giving the sacrificial rite to the 'tower' is a bit too risky for him, isn't it? Is he really that reassuring about me? ”
Or is it a temptation? After all, it seems that only gods can accept sacrifices and gifts, and he is testing me to see if I am really a 'fool'. ”
"This is completely different from the temptation of the upside-down hangman, who is casually tempted with a cautious look, and the tower is pretending to be my believer, coming openly? Is this a more confident embodiment? ”
"I suspect he hid his true emotions after his first visit to Grey Mist...... No wonder I kept feeling that his emotions were too lively after that......"
"Forget it, this is also a normal reaction, no need to dig into it...... Now let me see what this sacrificial ritual looks like. ”
"What?! The rituals are all made of spiritual materials?! How can I afford to buy this......"
