Chapter 21: Ash Black
Ember joining the Tarot would give Klein a sense of urgency.
On the one hand, he wanted useful information from Ember and did not regret the decision.
On the other hand, it is inconvenient for him to communicate too much with Ember.
After all, he would be a 'fool' in Tarot, and it was too cheap to ask directly.
To do this, he tried to pinch a vest for himself, but in the end he failed.
At the same time, he heard the prayer of a crimson star.
Due to the language barrier, he gave up answering the other party's prayers -
And even if he responds, it's useless, he is not a real god, and he can't solve the other party's problem at all.
After all of this, Klein was stuck again.
He now suspects that the 'girl' he met is likely to be the former 'instigator' Tris.
Because the appearance and temperament of both parties give him almost the same feeling-
The face is round, the eyes are narrow, and the temperament is gentle.
Except that one is male and the other is female, it is almost identical.
But he has no evidence to confirm his 'guess', and it is difficult to explain the reason to the captain-
Could it be that he got the information from the Tarot Society?
After hesitating for a long time, Klein finally made a decision -
Let's just say it's my own intuition.
Anyway, it's speculation, revealing it can also increase clues, and it's not easy to be suspicious if it's intuition.
After all, it is the intuition of a soothsayer.
And, perhaps, you can use a soothsayer as a cover?
It is said that it is the result of his own divination.
"Well, that's it!"
Klein nodded solemnly, then hesitated for a moment and took out the crystal pendant again, divining it first.
……
So when he went to work the next day, Klein took the opportunity to reveal his speculation about the identity of 'Tris'.
"You mean."
Dunn frowned slightly, "It's likely that Tris managed to escape us because he turned into a woman?" And I met you, but you didn't recognize each other at the time? ”
"Yes."
Klein nodded, and put on a statement that he had already put together, explaining, "In fact, when I met that 'girl' that day, my spirit had a hint, but at that time, my mind was focused on arresting Tris, and I didn't connect these two people. ”
"But when I checked the information of the Witch Sect yesterday, I stumbled upon the fact that almost all of the Witch Sect are women."
"So I'm guessing if it's possible that the Assassin path will become female at some stage due to the effects of potions, such as Sequence 7."
"Sequence 7?"
Dunn groaned for a moment.
According to their guesses, Tris was indeed on the verge of promotion at that time.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain his unusual behavior.
In other words, the other party has indeed been working on the promotion of Sequence 7 after coming to Tingen.
The only problem was that they were unable to get the name of the potion in Assassin Path Sequence 7.
"This is really an investigative direction."
Dunn thought for a moment and said slowly, "The information you gave is very valuable, and I will have someone investigate it immediately." ”
Although this is only based on Klein's intuition.
But for the extraordinary, so-called perception often comes from spiritual warnings.
And spiritual warnings are often more accurate than their own judgments.
So Dunn chose to accept it without hesitation, not to mention that they really have no other investigation ideas now.
And given that Klein's extraordinary means are soothsayers, his 'intuition' will also be more valuable than the average person.
After reporting the situation, Klein was finally satisfied.
In the evening, he participated in the welcome party held for him by the team.
Klein was happy because his weekly wage had risen to 4.5 pounds.
Perhaps the only regret was that Neil Sr. couldn't attend his welcome party.
"Miss Justice's mind-reading recipe has been found, and it's time for me to find the Joker's potion recipe."
Klein sighed softly in his heart, if he continued like this, he was only afraid that he would become the bottom of the tarot.
The leader of the mysterious organization is actually the lowest among the members, can you believe it?
And at the same time, inside the church of St. Samuel in Beckland.
Ember also made 'representations' to Archbishop Anthony.
"If I want to buy a potion recipe for another sequence, what will it cost?"
"The price?"
Faced with Ember's inquiry, Anthony paused for a moment, and then quickly drew a crimson moon on his chest, "Then according to the market price, how about sequence 9 two hundred pounds, sequence 8 four hundred pounds, and sequence 7 eight hundred pounds?" ”
After a pause, Anthony continued, "Of course, my side can only provide low-to-medium potion recipes, and I can only ensure that low-rank potion recipes are complete. ”
If it's an ordinary night watchman.
They don't need to pay the price of gold pounds, they just need to make enough 'contributions' to the Church of the Night.
When their contribution is sufficient and they meet the promotion requirements, the Night Church will naturally provide them with the recipe for the corresponding sequence.
But if Ember wants to, and he doesn't want to spend time making a 'contribution'.
Considering his status as a dependent, he can also be given certain special treatment, and it is also okay to allow him to exchange gold pounds for it.
"That's enough."
Ember nodded slightly, Miss Justice only wanted a Sequence 8 mind reader.
However, even Sequence 8 requires 400 pounds -
This is not a small amount.
Even with his weekly salary of 100 pounds plus the 100 pounds given by Anthony, it would take at least three weeks to save up.
However, maybe you can wait for the next time Tarot will ask Miss 'Justice' to pay a part of it first.
After all, she doesn't seem to be short of money.
……
Wednesday, July 18th.
Beckland, Crown Racecourse.
Ember stood in the VIP box, looking out at the horses and riders sprinting below.
It's been two days since I attended the tarot meeting.
These days, he frequented meetings among the upper nobles of Beckland, following the advice of Archbishop Anthony.
But it's a pity.
These attendees are only viscounts or even heirs.
And according to Ember's assumption, the person who can know the 'Black Emperor' should at least be a count or above.
However, after all, he had only just begun to participate in gatherings among nobles, and he was not too noble.
It is also normal for him to come into contact with the upper echelons of the country.
But as long as you attend more parties, everything will be fine.
Thinking so, Ember suddenly turned his head and looked at the girl on the side.
The girl had dazzling supple blonde hair, a long white dress with leg of mutton sleeves, ruffles, lace on the chest, a gauze hat inlaid with blue ribbons and silk flowers, and light-colored tulle gloves.
At this time, the other party was staring intently at the embers.
"What's the matter?"
Ember asked politely.
I don't know why, this girl has been staring at herself since just now.
"No, nothing."
The girl was startled by Ember's cold gaze, and could no longer maintain her previous posture of staying out of the situation as if she were a spectator, but lowered her head in a little panic.
In the end, I felt that my appearance was a little too suspicious, and I couldn't help but redden my earlobes, and I ran away.
"Huh?"
Ember looked puzzled, only to feel that the other party's actions were a little inexplicable.
But not much attention has been paid to it.
Because although he can feel that the other party's soul is stronger than ordinary people, it is also limited.
I don't even have the qualifications to use it as firewood.
No, let alone being burned as firewood, the other party doesn't even have the qualifications to burn to ashes, but will only be burned into air.
"Audrey, what's wrong?"
Some thin young people noticed Audrey's sudden panic and leaned over and asked with concern.
"Nothing."
Audrey had regained her composure at this point, shook her head and asked, "Gleilint, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Glerint was her friend, and she didn't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky.
His father died young, but he inherited the title early.
And with the talent of the audience, Audrey can see that the other party must ask for something when they come to her.
"Audrey."
Viscount Glerint, who heard Audrey's inquiry, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I am proud that I have met a truly extraordinary person, an extraordinary person who does not belong to the royal family. ”
You say that every time.
"Really?"
Audrey, with an elegant yet polite smile, was not actually interested in his words.
"I swear in my father's honor that this time it will be absolutely true!"
Viscount Gleilynt nodded solemnly and said with a serious face.
"So."
Audrey wanted to make a surprised expression, but then she hesitated again and pointed to the embers not far away, "Viscount Glerint, do you know him?" ”
"I've seen two sides."
Viscount Glerint glanced at it, nodded and said, "Ash Black, a fallen nobleman. I heard that he only recently came to the royal capital, so he has been attending frequent meetings among the nobles of the royal capital these days. ”
"He only attended my party two days ago, but you didn't show him that day."
After a pause, Glerint added, "There's a salon at my house tomorrow afternoon, and he should come if I send an invitation." And, of course, the extraordinary one I'm talking about. ”
"Ash Black?"
Audrey's jewel-like eyes shone with a hint of brilliance.
From the first time she saw Ember, she felt that this gentleman was very familiar-
It is very similar to the 'lover' she met at the tarot meeting the day before yesterday.
The reason why the two can be connected is that there is also the talent of their own audience to observe and compare the body temperament of the two sides.
But mainly because the dazzling rings on the other party's ten fingers are too impressive.
After all, even the nouveau riche of the royal capital rarely wear rings on their ten fingers.
So far, Audrey has only met two people who can do such a 'dress'.
One is the 'lover' and the other is this Mr. Ash Black.
……
City of Tingen.
In the morning, Klein University visited Mr. Azik.
And in the afternoon he divined the clown potion recipe with Siris. Apyris related.
Feeling that the soothsayer is really weak in battle, Crane decides to buy himself some materials for ritual magic, so that he will not be able to get the materials when he needs them, so he can only wait for death.
So, he then went to the underground market to make purchases.
As he was leaving, he saw a young lady in a light green dress who was also preparing to leave.
Klein felt something familiar about the lady's back, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
After all, he had more important things, so he didn't care about this little thing, but hurried to the library.
His instincts told him that he should be able to get Siris there. Information about Apilis.
It makes sense.
