Chapter 31: The Most Useless Old Things May Be the Most Useful
"And there are generally two speculations about the coherence of the title of 'Black Emperor' of the Solomon Empire."
"Either the 'Black Emperor' of the Solomon Empire has always been the same person, or the 'Black Emperor' is the name of the high-order potion of the sequence path mastered by the royal family of the Solomon Empire, and it is very likely that the sequence path corresponds to Sequence 1."
After a pause, the hanged man added, "But no matter which one it is, I don't think that the 'Black Emperor' of the Fourth Age has the possibility of living to this era. Otherwise, the Solomon Empire would not have disappeared. ”
"That is."
Ember pondered for a moment before asking, "The current 'Black Emperor' is likely to be the high-level powerhouse you said in this path who has been promoted to 'Sequence 1'?" ”
"If it exists."
The hanged man nodded slightly, "That's right." ”
"Which way?"
"Lawyer."
The upside-down hangman did not hesitate to say in the face of Ember's questioning, "The sequential path mastered by the Solomon Empire is the lawyer. ”
After speaking, the upside-down hanger couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
He seems to firmly believe that the Black Emperor must exist?
Why?
Is there any special basis for his judgment?
And.
Why did he know about the Black Emperor, but he didn't seem to know anything about the Black Emperor's information?
Who told him about the Black Emperor and made him interested in it?
No, it's not as simple as interest.
There should be some kind of deeper purpose.
"Lawyer."
Ember was thoughtful.
If the 'Black Emperor' is really Sequence 1, then going straight to the Black Emperor is undoubtedly the wrong option.
What's more, the rash release of the name to the outside world is likely to have unimaginable consequences.
If so, then that would explain why the Church of the Night keeps it secretive while giving prompting.
And Su Xiu has not rashly inquired about the information related to the 'Black Emperor', which is undoubtedly an extremely correct choice.
In this way, perhaps only the Goddess of the Night is qualified to know and reveal information related to the 'Black Emperor'.
However, Ember didn't feel that his face was big enough to let the goddess come forward in person.
"I'm sorry."
Ember slowly spoke, "The commission is still valid, but I hope you don't get information by actively probing the 'Black Emperor', and you can knock on the side through the 'lawyer' sequence." ”
"Also, Mr. Hangman, what kind of pay do you need?"
Ember asked, turning his gaze to the hanging man to the side.
“……”
The hanged man was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "It's not a big deal of information, and it's not worth it. If you want to talk about remuneration, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, I would also like you to answer a few questions from me. ”
"Yes."
Ember nodded slowly, "If I know." ”
"First question."
The Hanged Man stared directly at the ring on Ember's hand and asked, "These are magical items?" ”
He didn't doubt that the rings would also work in the Tarot Society, after all, this was Mr. Fool's kingdom.
He only thought that Mr. 'Fool' had manifested it in their image.
Just like the clothes on their bodies, the same goes for these rings.
It's just that the other party has been wearing these rings, which also aroused his curiosity.
In his opinion, Ember should be a powerful extraordinary.
And it's the kind that doesn't smile, and it's unlikely that he will show off his wealth with a lot of rings on his hands like ordinary nouveau riche.
So I instinctively suspected that these might be magical items, so I asked this question.
"Yes."
Ember groaned for two seconds, then replied in the affirmative.
Although it is slightly different from the seals of this world, it is also an item with magical abilities, so it is a magical item.
Well, no problem.
"Can you sell it?"
The hanged man asked.
"Yes."
Ember bowed slightly, "I have a lot of spare rings like this, and I can sell them if you need them." Of course, the same goes for Miss Justice. ”
"Not yet."
The hanged man took a deep breath, his tone extremely complicated.
This allowed him to be sure of two things -
The ten rings on the other hand's hand are all magical items.
And even the cheapest magical items are at least a few hundred pounds.
Ten rings, that's at least thousands of pounds!
In other words, this 'lover' gentleman has always carried around magical items worth at least thousands of pounds to swagger.
What kind of family does this have to be?
At this moment, the hanged man confirmed his guess.
This is definitely the descendant of a great nobility like Miss Audrey, the kind that is not bad for money.
It's a pity.
Even if he knew that the other party's ring would be sold, and he did need it.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to buy it.
And it's not necessarily affordable.
"Mr. Lover."
Audrey's sweet voice sounded, "Do you have any recommendations if I want to buy them?" ”
She's not bad for money, but she's mainly curious.
"It depends on what you want."
Ember pondered for two seconds before slowly speaking, "Do you want a weapon, a ring, or armor?" ”
"Is there a set?"
Audrey was piqued with curiosity and asked, "If anything, I'll take them all!" ”
As she spoke, Audrey added, "But for the time being, can you introduce the ring first?" ”
"That's right."
Ember muttered for two seconds, "If it's a ring, I recommend this-"
As he spoke, Ember took an extra ring out of his palm and tossed it towards Audrey.
"It's ......"
Audrey took the ring and looked at it.
The ring looks unremarkable, the ring part of the ring looks like it is made of ordinary bronze, and there is even some 'rust' dirt on the outside.
And on the ring, it is also set with an emerald with a dim light of scale.
Even if Audrey is not a professional gem grader, she can see at a glance how cheap and clumsy this gem is-
It feels like the kind of roadside vendor who can buy several pieces for a pound.
There are even scratches and potholes on the surface of the gemstone, which further reduces its value.
If it hadn't been given to her by Mr. Lovers, she would never have imagined that this seemingly cheap ring would be a magical item.
"Sacrificial Ring."
Ember spoke slowly, "The mysterious ring of Berga, the goddess of sin, made through a sacrificial ritual. ”
'Fool' Klein's expression moved slightly.
In the world of Dark Souls, the role of the Sacrifice Ring is to ensure that the undead do not drop their souls when they die.
But what would happen if it wasn't the undead?
"The goddess of sin? What is that? ”
The hearts of the upside-down hangers were in turmoil at this time.
There is absolutely no such thing as a goddess of sin karma among the seven righteous gods, and there is no such goddess of sin as the 'hidden sage' that he knows.
Could it be that this is another god in the same person as Mr. Fool?
"The effect?"
Audrey asked curiously, as Klein thought.
"Simply put, it's about sparing a death."
"When the wearer dies, the ring dies in its place."
Ember's introduction is bland and calm.
But these words made the hearts of the other three members of the Tarot Society set off a storm at the same time!
What does it mean that 'the ring will die in its place?' ’
