Chapter 222: Miss "Justice" Question
Miss "Justice" always keeps a good mood, which is really enviable, and I hope I can do the same...... Hearing the brisk greeting, Crane, who was sitting at the head of the bronze long table, couldn't help but sigh silently.
But he immediately thought of the fact that the other party had simply given away a bag of jewelry, and suddenly felt that it was very difficult for him to always maintain a happy mood like Miss "Justice"......
In a flash of thought, Klein took the page of Russell's diary that Miss "Justice" had presented, but he was not in a hurry to look at it, but looked sideways at the lively and cheerful young lady, and asked calmly:
"What do you hope for?"
Since she had received Alfred's reply and the "Colorful Lizard Dragon" had a clear message, Audrey did not choose to ask for clues about this material again, but after thinking for a while, she considered it and said:
"I met a man who claimed to be a good researcher of Russell at an extraordinary trade fair, who tattooed three symbols of Russell script on his arm and declared that these words had 'power' to make him stronger and healthier......"
Speaking of which, "Just" Audrey, after obtaining the consent of Mr. "Fool", manifested the pattern of the three words, and then looked at her head "respectfully" and pleaded:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', I would like to know the meaning of these three symbols...... Also, do they really have power? ”
Abner didn't dare to look at the words at once, for fear that if it were really some strange word, he would laugh out loud.
He did a few seconds of mental construction for himself before he peeked at the words embodied in front of "Just" Audrey.
Uh, ...... this "little girl"?
Probably due to the "tattoo" that Audrey remembered directly, the structure of those three words was extremely distorted, and Abner looked at it carefully for a while before he could barely recognize it.
Little Girl...... It's really a coherent three-word phrase, and I thought it would be three words that didn't match each other at all, or even a truncated radical or something.
This must have been "cut" directly from which page of the diary, right?
But can a tattoo of a "little girl" make you healthier and stronger? In the previous life, those demons who relied on replenishment and promotion in the immortal cultivation text did not dare to think of such a good thing.
Just when Abner was complaining in his heart, Crane, who was sitting in the position of the "fool", couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw those three words.
He thought about it seriously and felt that even if it was for the sake of the "Fool" himself, he couldn't reveal the meaning of Russelwin, otherwise if he let the members of the Tarot Society know that Mr. "Fool" always reads some descriptions such as "little girl" and "lady", the character will completely collapse......
Of course, it is more likely that they will be scared to death by their own "blasphemous" behavior.
However, Miss Justice's plea cannot be ignored...... How to do that......
Klein was just about to be perfunctory, but his eyes swept to the yellow-brown parchment of Miss "Justice", and found that the first sentence on it read:
"On August 2nd, this pool of water was deeper than I imagined, and history is really a little girl who can be dressed up."
Looking at this slightly twisted and Chinese with teeth and claws, Klein realized in his heart that perhaps Miss "Justice" had bought the diary from the gentleman with the word "little girl" tattooed...... And this sentence should be the origin of the "tattoo" pattern.
This passage brought him new inspiration, so Klein thought for a while, and then said leisurely in the tone of a "fool":
"I should have said before that Rosselwyn doesn't have any mystical powers.
"As for these three patterns...... You can interpret them as 'weak', 'unable to resist', 'at the mercy of the strong'. ”
Do just three pictorial symbols mean that much? But that gentleman really deceived himself, how could a pattern with such a meaning bring health and strength?
A series of thoughts crossed the mind of "Justice" Audrey, she looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist, stood up and raised her skirt and saluted, "Thank you for your answer, respected Mr. 'Fool'. ”
Crane leaned back in his chair and replied in a calm tone, "It's just an equivalent exchange." ”
"The Hanged Man" Alger also forcibly memorized the three patterns and symbols in his mind at this time, and at the same time kept guessing in his heart: this word must have come from the hand of Russell the Great, what kind of setbacks did he encounter back then, so that he would write such a pessimistic text? Could it be that it was when he broke with the "Church of Steam"? Or was it the last stroke before he was finally assassinated?
"Sun" Derick had no idea who Russell was, and although he was a little curious, he remembered that Mr. "Fool" had told him not to ask about other people's secrets, so he only silently memorized some information.
Only Abner understood Mr. Fool's "good intentions" best, and roughly guessed what Klein was based on to explain it like that, but he still couldn't help but complain in his heart:
The word "little girl" is explained so meaningfully, what if one day a member of the "Tarot Society" also tattoos it on his body to motivate himself?
"I don't want to be at the mercy of others, so I'm going to be strong!" The person who shouted such words carved the words "little girl" on his arm.
With such an image flashing through his mind, Abner took a deep breath and felt fortunate that "Star" and "Moon" had not yet joined the Tarot Society.
Although the "Sun" is also very "hot-blooded", he has no understanding of Russell's status and influence, and he should not do such a thing.
Seeing that the four people present were fooled by themselves, Klein smiled slightly, looked at the Russell diary in front of him, and looked down along the previous content.
"When the internal members of the Seven Churches are promoted in the middle and low ranks, they not only provide potion materials and specific recipes, but also demonstrate the blending process in person...... And at the high sequence stage, they only offer finished potions?
"This ...... The high sequence should be directly given 'extraordinary characteristics', right? That's why the recipe won't be told.
"Will the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Steam and Machinery become a breeding ground for the birth of evil gods? Why is that? ”
Crane frowned slightly, his index finger tapping lightly against the edge of the old long table.
Mr. "Fool" has a problem? There must be a high level of difficulty involved in what can embarrass him...... Audrey looked at the figure shrouded in a thick gray mist, and read some of his current state from the other party's body language.
Abner took advantage of Klein's reading of the diary and began to mentally translate the last pages of Baron Conva's diary.
That's what he didn't dare to decipher in the real world:
"Austin is dead! He's dead! Killed by my own hands! Right in front of me! No! That's not her! It's not her! ”
I didn't even remember the date...... And it's so incoherently recorded that it's like babbling...... It's a shame that he remembers two layers of encryption in this state......
After only one sentence, Abner frowned, for the confusion between the lines had already reflected the baron's mental state, and he was probably half-insane by then.
"Haha! It's the spirit of Austin! She really didn't die! Sure enough, he didn't die! I sealed her in the 'door' of my body and made her my spirit! We will be together forever!
"On September 22, the decision to seal Austin in my body was the right one, and I felt a lot better as a result, at least I was able to calm down and think about something...... Like, are we really okay with our state? I checked it myself and it turned out that everything was fine...... But if that's all right, why would every servant who had seen me suddenly disappear? ”
Abner shuddered when he read this, and several questions involuntarily arose in his heart: Is the spirit sealed in the baron's body really "Lady Austin"? After he sealed that spirit, was the so-called restored "normal" really "normal"?
These questions lingered in his mind, and he couldn't help but translate all the content that followed:
"I got a lot of knowledge from behind the castle that turned my occult perception upside down...... This knowledge told me that in order to solve the problems of Austin and me, I had to use an object called the 'Source Fort'...... But that knowledge also told me that the 'Source Castle' did not belong to this era.
"So I decided to use a few extraordinary items in my hand to seal myself with the knowledge I gained from the 'gate' of the ancient castle, and I slept until the era of the 'Source Castle' and woke up.
"I had a strange pre-plan that I wouldn't miss that era."
