On the island where the Misty Sea meets the Polar Sea, three former princesses, Bernadette, Isabella and Bruna, are sitting on the vine chairs summoned by the "mysterious queen", taking stock of the harvest of exploration.

"Aside from the materials and properties left over from those strange creatures, these three things are the most valuable."

It was Isabella who spoke, and she straightened her clothes, then placed a notebook, a map, and a card on the small table made of vines.

"This card is sealed with that strange creature of the demigod level...... If it weren't for Bernadette, you provided the 'duel card' made by Russell, we might not have been able to subdue it...... I don't know how the 'wanderer' of the Abrahamic family locked it in the ruins in the first place with the strength of the 'traveler' alone. ”

At this point, Isabella pushed the card in front of Bernadette and continued, "You provided the card, and it should be in your hands, and I don't think Bruna will have a problem. ”

Bruna did not lack a powerful spirit as a helper, and she really had no opinion, and Bernadette did not refuse, silently putting away the card.

Then, Isabella picked up the map and showed it, "The map marks the role of the various facilities in the ruins and the combination of 'Blasphemy Cards' required to enter, apparently Rosell deliberately left it inside......

"And if you've already seen the notebook briefly, you should know that it was written by the Immortal Emperor, and contains a lot of terrifying occult knowledge, and the content is likely to involve the god's exploration and experimentation on the path above Sequence 0......

From this, it is not difficult to guess that this ruin is actually a laboratory established by the Hades Emperor and the Black Emperor to explore the path above the true gods......

"Perhaps, the later 'Pale Plague' was because of something unexpected in the experiment......

"Finally, there are many prohibitions on this map itself, and you need to rely on 'parsing' to get the specific content, so it's okay for me to keep it for the time being, right?"

Bernadette pondered for a moment, then agreed with her words.

Bruna nodded indifferently, she was not good at these, and she could give them to the best professionals.

"As for this note...... It is not something we can digest in a short time, and it is very dangerous, so I suggest that I take it back to the Grand Library of Remberg, where it will be kept by the 'Tower of Wisdom', and you can borrow it whenever you want to read it. Isabella picked up the notebook and said thoughtfully.

Bernadette had no objection to this, but Bruna disagreed, and she frowned and said, "This is a legacy of the 'Grim Reaper', and as a descendant of it, I am obliged to reclaim it." ”

"But if you take it back to the Order, it's unlikely that Bernadette and I will be able to borrow it......" Isabella didn't want to hand it over so easily.

Just as the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming more and more tense, Bernadette suddenly spoke: "I have a better candidate, and that is His Royal Highness the 'Death Archon'...... Leave it ......with Isabella for the time being before handing it back to Him," she said, looking at Bruna, "what do you think?" ”

Bruna thought about it and felt that this was acceptable, after all, His Highness was the son of the "Grim Reaper" and her ancestor, so she nodded and said, "Yes...... But Bernadette, do you know where the ancestors are? ”

Bernadette closed her eyes, nodded her head and said, "In Beckland...... I just need to go back...... In addition, judging from the information analyzed so far on that map, the core location of this ruin requires three cards: 'Red Priest', 'Black Emperor', and 'Moon' to open ...... 'Black Emperor' card, which may be in Beckland. ”

……

On Tuesday morning, Emlyn, who had just left the Bloodline Residence, felt his thoughts freeze when he saw the gray mist that suddenly appeared in front of him, and the mysterious figure shrouded in the gray mist.

"The 'Fool' really responded!!" Emlyn was frightened, and in the face of the inquiry of the mysterious existence in front of him, he quickly confessed everything he knew.

"Lilith sent down an oracle? Preparing for the apocalypse? Is this Lilith also trying to invest in me?

"Mother Earth sent the Tower and resurrected Dunn, and now Lilith has sent Emlyn?

"By the way, there is a similar doomsday prophecy in the notes of the 'Spiritual Experience', from the 'Yellow Light' Venethan, and he also points out that the curse of the Abrahamic family will be lifted by an 'apprentice' who has been helped by a hidden being, which is very much in line with the current state of Miss 'Magician', who is an 'apprentice' with the help of me, a 'fool'...... This is a bit interesting, could it be that all the high positions who are good at prophecy see the inevitability of the end times, and also see the existence and possible role of the 'fool'? So invest in me?

In addition, Russell's diary can also be considered an investment...... He also foresaw the 'fool'?

"Hmm...... Come to think of it, I swore by touching the relics...... Maybe the goddess knows about me too......"

Thoughts flashed through Crane's mind, but his expression didn't change in the slightest.

Leaning back in his chair, he figured out a deck of tarot cards on the ancient bronze table, and then smiled unpleasantly:

"Pick one for your codename."

The calm voice relieved Emlyn from the state of being so stiff that he didn't know what he was doing, and shook his head a little sluggishly:

"The moon.

"I pick the 'Moon' card!"

……

After Emlyn leaves, Crane "clicks" the crimson star that symbolizes Dalie, only to find that she is still in the room from last night...... So we can only continue to delay the response to her.

"I hope the captain won't change houses anytime soon...... Otherwise, Ms. Dai Li can only chase her 'husband' by herself according to the clues."

Crane muttered a few words before returning to reality, then dressed up, grabbed his cane, and rode out to the East End, where he enjoyed oatmeal bread dipped in tender pea stew in lamb broth at a greasy café on Black Palm Street, while listening to old Kohler recount the news he had gathered in the last week.

Unfortunately, there is not much valuable information in it.

After the other party finished speaking, Klein thought about it, took out a two-pound bill and pushed it over.

"You've already given it!" Old Kohler was startled and waved his hand in amazement.

Klein chuckled:

"Within this week, I'll be going to the south for a vacation, and after a hard year, it's time to take a break.

"I may have two or three weeks to come back, so pay you accordingly in advance, hehe, and don't forget to help me gather news.

"Also, if I don't come back in two or three weeks, I hope you don't stop collecting, I've appointed a reliable friend to contact you regularly"

"Okay, okay!" Old Kohler took the notes with joy and gratitude.

At this moment, he had already figured out how to spend the New Year.

He was going to buy the cured ham that he had been reluctant to buy and use it with his bread.

I can't wait...... Thanks Detective Moriarty! He swallowed unconsciously.

Crane picked up his hat and reminded Kohler Sr. to be safe and not to get into danger, and only got up and left satisfied after receiving reassurance from the other party.

At the same time, the "Goddess Eye" Ilia knocked on the door of 15 Minsk Street, but did not receive a response.

"Not at home either? Did you go on vacation like Detective Isenger? Illya felt that it was a "coincidence", she only "talked" with Sost for a few hours, and then missed several people involved in the "Apostle of Desire" case.

This made her even more vigilant, and her eyes instantly sparkled with bright stars.

After a moment, she closed her eyes and spat out a human name: "Edsak? ”

……

Red Rose Manor, after submitting some specious clues about Talim's whereabouts to Prince Edsak, Crane took the opportunity to make a request to end the commission, and finally got the other party's consent.

But as soon as he got back to the carriage, an uninvited guest broke in—she was Triss, the witch.

Triss, however, was overjoyed to see Crane recognizing her, and told him that she was being controlled and that she was forced to change her name, and that she had to do something with the prince that she was not willing to do......

Klein didn't want to entangle with her too much, so he just asked casually:

"What did they change your name to?"

Triss furrowed her pretty brow, and replied with a somewhat misty look in her eyes:

"Trisquirk."

Trisquishkiake...... Chick...... Chick! Klein Huo Ran looked up, and once again felt numb all over his body, and his whole body was stiff like a statue made of marble.

At this moment, there was only one Russell diary reverberating wildly in his mind:

"On June 5th, I got an ancient book, and the name of the 'Original Witch' was mentioned in it......

"His Call, Cheek......"

……

In the free school outside the East End, Abner Horan, who was opening a small stove for Daisy and the four of them, turned his head to look out the window.

As far as the eye could see, fireballs were falling in the direction of the suburbs, and even the bad weather in Bakeland could not stop the spectacular scene......
