"Thank you for your help." Abner stood up and saluted the figure at the top of the bronze table, shrouded in a thick gray mist.

Then he heard Mr. "Fool" continue in a flat tone:

"But a few pages contain more knowledge than you can afford at your current level...... I decided to disassemble it first and keep it for safekeeping, what do you think? ”

The Feast of Blood is a thread-bound book with freely detachable pages, also from Russell the Great.

Abner was a little confused, he had already read the first half of "The Feast of Blood", how could he have more knowledge than he could bear?

But after a little thought, he understood Klein's plan.

Aren't those pages of so-called knowledge that exceed my tolerance be the pages of the "primordial moon"? Is this for fear that I will see the nature of the "fool" repeating the textbook?

Abner sneered, but on the surface he replied respectfully, "Thank you again, Mr. Fool. I don't have a problem, and I can rest assured that those pages are in your hands. ”

Klein was also relieved to hear Abner's reply, after all, the book was a "tower", and he had to ask for the other party's opinion to keep those pages...... If it was the real copy of "Blood Feast", he really didn't dare to destroy it, but through divination, he already knew that this was a rubbing, although it was also a few years old, but there was nothing special about it.

And the contents of those pages, which he has just repeated, strictly speaking, there is nothing to lose about the "tower".

"When the party is over, I will give you back the Feast of Blood." Klein looked at Abner and smiled.

Abner thought about it and knew that according to the so-called "equivalent exchange" principle set by the "fool", his request should be regarded as a debt to him, so he took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what kind of reward you need besides Russell's diary?" ”

Crane, who was waiting for a similar response, smiled again:

"Information about the Antigonus family or the Esoteric Order."

Sure enough, I wanted to ask this...... Abner said secretly, but apparently he thought for a moment before he replied, "I'll go and gather some information about them and present it to you at the next meeting, do you think it's okay?" Mr. Fool? "I have to take some time to think about what I can tell and what I can't say.

Klein was slightly disappointed, but still bowed slightly:

"No problem.

"If you gather more information than the value of this book identification request, I'll compensate you extra."

As for what is considered to be more than the value of the request, of course, it is up to the esteemed Mr. "Fool", who is able to pay the extra payment, and if he is not, it does not count...... Klein silently added in his heart.

After speaking, Klein leaned back in his chair, looked around at "Hanged Man" and "Justice", and said, "This condition is also valid for you." ”

As for the information that the "Fools" wanted the "Esoteric Order" and the "House of Antigonus", Alger did not have the slightest doubt. Not to mention the fact that the "Fools" had made similar requests at previous gatherings, it is not surprising that a suspected deity is interested in an ancient family and an ancient and hidden organization.

And more importantly, after many meetings, he has gradually affirmed in his heart that Mr. "Fool" was not in a perfect state at first, and he may still be in a certain predicament, and he has made various attempts to free him from his constraints and no longer be limited.

This may even involve the big secret that the Seven Gods no longer come to the real world after the Quaternary Age...... Alger's thoughts flickered, and he shuddered a little, feeling like he had entered the realm of the gods.

Not to mention Alger's self-brain supplement, "Justice" Audrey's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the words of the "fool", and said:

"Mr. 'Fool', I'll go and ask someone about it."

I just don't know if Furth understands these ancient families and organizations. Audrey thought to herself.

After that, seeing that no one shared again, Klein swept the "Hanging Man", "Justice", and "Tower" with his eyes, and said with a smile:

"If there's nothing else to share, that's all for today's gathering."

He also had to keep some spirituality for a while.

"Follow your will." Abner stood up at the same time.

……

Returning to his room, Abner did not remove the Spirit Wall, but placed the ring of "False Fury", the extraordinary trait of "Lawyer", and ten low-level charms on the altar that had been prepared long ago.

Then he recited in the ancient Hermetic language:

"O fool who does not belong to this age;"

"You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;"

"You are the Yellow and Black King who rules good fortune."

……

Above the gray mist, Crane looked at the items sacrificed by the "tower", sighed, and began to divinate one by one, since he had agreed to be this "witness", he had to do something for the members.

After confirming that there is nothing wrong with the contents of the "tower", the spirituality is spread to the crimson stars representing the "Hanged Man" and "Justice", so that they are ready for the ritual of "asking for the bestow".

……

Once all the transactions were complete, Crane looked at the 1,300 gold pound note floating in the gray mist, swallowed quietly, and then looked away with great perseverance, and extended his spirituality to the red star representing the "tower".

……

Seeing the cash falling from the "Summoning Gate" onto the altar, Abner first secretly praised Mr. "Fool" for his courier service, then examined them one by one with "pure white eyes", and then put them away closely.

"This increases my total liquidity to £2,800, and after deducting the £2,100 I spent on materials tonight, I have £700 in cash......

"And the other main ingredient of 'Erudito', although I don't know what it is, will not be less than 1,000 pounds, and may even be more expensive than the 'heart of the elder tree'...... The funding gap is still huge. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Abner immediately felt that the money was still not enough to spend, and working hard to make money was probably his main task in the next stage in addition to "playing".

"Fortunately, in two weeks, Xiao 'Sun' will be able to join the 'Tarot Club', and maybe the materials he needs can be exchanged for ...... from his hands."

At that moment, Abner felt the spiritual wall he had set up touched, and he knew that it was the valet Kenny knocking on the door outside.

Seeing this, he hurriedly packed up the traces of the ritual, then withdrew his spirituality, sat back at his desk, and said, "Come in." ”

"Is there another client?" Seeing Kenny push the door open and walk in, Abner asked with a smile.

"Detective Blaine, it's Congressman Macht's second visit."

Abner was not surprised by his visit, after all, the other party spent money, how could he not come to confirm the results?

He tidied up his clothes, and then Kenny led him to the living room on the first floor, where he met Councillor Mahert, who was dressed in formal attire.

He did not bring his wife Liana this time, and was smoking a cigarette in the smoking area in the corner of the living room. Seeing Abner walking down the stairs, he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt, greeted him in three or two steps, and said enthusiastically: "Detective Brian, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”

"I'm equally pleased, Mr. Councillor." Abner nodded politely in return.

After the two sat on the sofa and exchanged a few words, Councillor Macht couldn't help but ask: "Detective Breine, don't you know where Bishop Utravsky is?" ”

"I have asked on your behalf, and the Bishop has agreed, and he will be happy to be a guest at your house." Abner nodded.

"That's my pleasure!" The slight tiredness on Councillor Makht's face disappeared, he looked at Abner with burning eyes, and asked with a smile: "I will have a banquet at my house on Wednesday evening, and I hope you and Mr. Bishop will be here together." ”

"I don't think there's a problem." Abner agreed directly for Bishop Utravsky this time, after all, he had already considered the situation when asked yesterday, and Bishop Giant did not object.

"I will deliver the official invitation to you and His Excellency the Bishop tomorrow." Councillor Makht had been campaigning for his daughter's affairs for several days, and at this time he finally had a result, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Abner, who was carrying 2,800 gold pounds, did not dare to squeeze the subway, but took a taxi carriage to the Harvest Church on Yuejihua Street in the south district of the bridge.
