Chapter 408: The People After the Tarot Meeting
Olawe Island? Well, His Excellency "Aquaman" Cottman did go to Olavi the other day...... Could it be because of the remains of this elven temple?
"The Hanged Man" Alger's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately had an association in his heart.
Hugh Dilcha knew more about the "Trial", so after a little thought, he realized that Abner had encountered another scene in the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" where dreams and reality were intertwined like the original "Alfalfa" incident.
And this time, the scene actually involves a slave god? How far has he gotten to?
"Magician" Furth once again encountered a blind spot in knowledge, and cheekily whispered to the "justice" lady next to him for advice.
Although Audrey didn't know much about the Old Gods, she had heard them talk about it the last time she had a separate conversation with the Sun, so she briefly introduced a few words to Firth.
When "Sun" Deric heard the name of "God of Luck", a trace of guilt appeared on his face, and he said with some frustration: "I'm sorry, Mr. 'Tower'. I didn't have enough access to the upper echelons of the library, so I couldn't find any more books about the 'god of luck.' ”
He felt that the reason why Mr. "Tower" had asked the "God of Luck" last time was for this expedition to the Elven Temple, and he couldn't help.
"It's okay, that's not your obligation in the first place. Our previous transaction was 'fair and equitable'. Abner comforted Derrick and then, with the consent of Mr. Fool, presented a series of images that he could recall, showing his own observations and experiences in an intermittent manner in front of the eyes of "The Hanged Man", "Justice", "Judgment", "The Magician", "The Sun" and "The World", and then supplemented by a certain explanation.
Of course, the presence of the bell-ringer and the councillor of the School of Life, the glamorous story between Latisia and the Governor of Olawe, the specific scenes of the Three Trials, and the so-called "chance" and subsequent "ciphertext" attempts that he saw in the "Elven Palace" at the end were all concealed by Abner.
He just wanted to broaden the knowledge of the members of the Tarot Society, but he didn't plan to expose some of his secrets and methods. Well, and the privacy of people like Laticia and Rickard is also not suitable for display, which is polite.
Scenes such as adventurers with all kinds of bad luck, mysterious whirlpools above the sea, ornate temples made of huge crystals, colorful and lifelike murals depicting the past of the "god of luck", and finally a coral palace with nine steps and tall seats were all formed in the eyes of the members of the Tarot congregation in the most direct and real way.
The style full of elven culture, the fascinating story, and the magnificent scene made the "justice" Audrey quite excited and became extremely interested.
This is the kind of adventure that only a strong man like Mr. "Tower" is qualified to participate in? Although the specific content of the "trial" is not visible, it seems that Mr. "Tower" has always been relaxed compared to those adventurers who are enveloped in bad luck and even lose their lives...... It's really enviable!
Audrey's thoughts are divergent, and she can't wait to become a strong person at the level of Mr. "Tower" immediately, and also go to the sea to find all kinds of ruins and adventures.
Although "Fool" Crane had heard Mr. "Tower" pass the "Test of Will" before, how could he simply listen to the picture and see the picture? So at this moment, there are some emotions and some questions:
It seems that the rumors that the elven clan, or the elven king Sunia Solem is from the Western Continent, are true, otherwise he would not have given his wife and subordinates the last ray of hope to his wife and subordinates without a way out, so that they could go to the Western Continent.
It's a pity that those two gods haven't been able to find them for so many years...... Is this that the Western Continent is too deeply hidden, or is the so-called "hope of return" of the Elf King at that time just a pretext, in order to keep his wife alive?
No, judging from the fact that the "God of Luck" was contaminated by that item with which the seal was problematic, the claim of "return" would not be false, and the Western Continent would definitely exist...... But where is it hidden?
On the other hand, Firth seemed to be quite interested in the relationship between the Elven King, the Queen of the Scourge and the God of Luck, and kept muttering something, but the voice was so small that even Audrey, who was very close to her, could not hear clearly, but the mind reader "read" only the excitement in his head.
Only Hugh could roughly guess what she was thinking, but it was not good to make her restrain a little at this time, so he could only look at Abner and cough quietly, trying to get him to quickly get the topic over, lest Firth really say something out of too excitement.
However, at this time, after watching it quietly, Alger pointed to the mural pictures about the "God of Luck" that Abner specially presented in the center of the long table, and asked the "sun" in his lower hand:
"Is the god who attacked the 'Elven Court' and was surrounded by half light and half darkness the Lord you believe in?"
"Sun" Derrick nodded first, then shook his head, and said with some complications:
"The content shown in this mural is basically consistent with the battle recorded in Silver City for the destruction of the Elven Royal Court...... But the image of the Lord does not correspond to the gods in that picture......"
"But wasn't it the 'Lord of the Storm', the 'Eternal Sun', and the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' who defeated the elves?" Furth was distracted and asked suspiciously.
Although she is only a shallow believer in the "God of Steam" who has not even read the "Steam and Machine Sacred Codex", she also knows some widely spread legends.
After all, even the Church of Steam admits that in the Second Age, known as the "Dark Age", the sky, sea, and earth were dominated by dragons, giants, elves, xenos, demons, undead birds, demon wolves, and necromancy, but in the end, the Lord of the Storm, the Eternal Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom led humanity to defeat these transcendent beings one by one, ushering in the "glorious age" at the beginning of the Third Age.
"Silver City has no record of those three gods at all......" Derrick shook his head and didn't say much, he had already read the seven sacred scriptures given by Mr. "Tower", and knew that most of the Lord's merits were received by the three gods, and he even had some doubts that those three gods were the inheritors of the Lord...... After all, according to Mr. Tower, their approach is actually "omniscient and omnipotent".
"The Hanged Man" Alger stared at the vague image of the "Lord" in the picture for a moment before retracting his gaze, and then lamented the madness of the Old Gods, who dared to wantonly swallow the extraordinary characteristics of other ways.
However, the "fool" Crane sitting at the top can guess what the "hanging man" is thinking, after all, he has similar thoughts:
Half light, half darkness...... Omniscient and all-powerful...... Does this mean that the Lord that Silver City believes in is actually the true God of the two paths of "sun" and "shepherd", and that his so-called reclaiming authority is actually the sequence 1 and uniqueness of the three paths of "sailor", "audience" and "reader", in order to achieve a level of "omniscient and omnipotent", which may be above the true God?
Abner didn't expect Klein and Alger to think so far away, and even guessed some knowledge related to the old days, but fortunately they didn't know the specific names of the old days and what the old days represented, so it wasn't a big problem.
As Abner's journey of trials came to an end, Klein, who was gradually depleting his spirituality, immediately seized the opportunity to announce the end of the tarot gathering and quickly returned to the real world to take a nap and wait for the possible "sacrifices" and "gifts".
……
In a single-family house in the Jowood district of Beckland, Foirth immediately took a pen and paper and sorted out the inspiration generated in the tarot meeting:
"During the Twenty Years' War, after a certain general defended a city surrounded by enemy troops, he resolved to die in battle, and let his loyal men break out with his wife......
Five years later, Breakthrough's subordinates and his wife gradually fell in love with each other and even formed a family. But at this time, the general, who had already been declared dead, suddenly returned...... It turned out that he was captured by the enemy in that battle and suffered all kinds of torture to escape, but his heart was also twisted......"
Looking at the manuscript of the outline he had written, Foirth muttered to himself, "There are all kinds of misunderstandings and sadistic plots behind it...... I don't like it, but it's a hot topic these days...... And it is suitable for writing short stories to make quick money.
"Hey, although the 'Soul Eater's stomach bag' has been settled, the 'blood of the deep-sea marlin' is not cheap either...... In order to make money, I have also degenerated......"
As she spoke, she knocked on the direction of the entrance again, and said in her heart: Hugh is afraid that he will have to wait for a while before he can come back...... How can I borrow money from her later? Well, tonight there is a party organized by Mr. A, I can go to it first, and then ask someone to sell materials and ask her to borrow.
Hugh seems to have never been to Mr. A's party since becoming a full member of MI9......
Hey, every Monday afternoon I find an excuse to drive Hugh away, once or twice is fine, and she will definitely be seen after more...... What reason should I find to be alone every Monday afternoon?
Thinking of this, Furth grabbed his hair, and for a moment he didn't have any thoughts.
……
In a safe house in the East End, Hugh changes into an expensive dress that she had purchased with special funds from MI9 when she was in plainclothes to defend the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Commission's prom.
Since Mr. "World" may bring the news of the main material of the "judge" at any time, Hugh rushed to the MI9 building in the West End as soon as he packed up, thinking in his heart that he would make up some reason to defraud a case fund first......
At the same time, she also thought about going to the tavern she used to frequented tonight to see if there were any lucrative tasks to post.
Although she thought about "embezzlement", she didn't plan not to pay it back, but only borrowed it temporarily.
Just as she walked out of the East Side and was about to call a carriage, her spirit was suddenly touched, and she looked at a nearby building, and then saw a "lady" hiding in the "shadows" being wrapped in a special rope by several men, revealing her figure.
And the ordinary people passing by around turned a blind eye to this scene.
Official squad handling the case? Judging by their methods, they should be "substitutes"...... After all, the Night Watch rarely sorties in the afternoon, and the battles of the Machine Heart are often filled with the smell of gunpowder.
After seeing one of the men deliberately display the "Storm Badge" and confirm that none of them were evildoers, Hugh withdrew his gaze and pretended not to see anything and got into a carriage.
After she left, a young man who tied up the "lady" asked suspiciously, "Captain, was that just now?" ”
"MI9 guys." McConaughey replied, and quietly exchanged a look with the tied "lady" before ordering, "Take her back, and I'll interrogate her myself." ”
"Yes, Captain." Several team members responded.
……
On Davel Island, Abner, who had regained his sight, removed the spiritual wall and walked out to Mr. Gasstone's workshop.
The gentleman who had finally "livered" out of the "Escape Charm" was indeed waiting here, and when he saw Abner, he smiled and asked, "Do you finally have time to take me through the sixth layer?" ”
