August 27, another Monday.

Crane had just come to Beckland to rent a house, and had just settled down when it was the afternoon of the next day.

He had to put aside the thoughts in his head for a moment and head to the gray mist without stopping.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. Good afternoon, Mr. 'Lover'. Good afternoon, Mr. 'Hanged Man'. Good afternoon, Mr. Sun. ”

In the greeting of the girl's sweet voice, this time the tarot will come as scheduled.

As always, Audrey and Alger provided the 'Fool' with the Roman's diary he needed.

Afterwards, everyone began to wait silently for Mr. Fool to finish reading.

"You can communicate freely."

After a few moments, Klein let the journal disappear from his hand and looked at the rest of humanity.

"Miss 'Justice'."

'The Hanged Man' Alger was the first to speak, "I've got the extraordinary ingredients you want, but how can I give it to you?" ”

"The pituitary gland of the Rainbow Dragon?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Audrey was overjoyed, but was soon poured cold water on the next sentence.

Oh, yes.

What should he do for himself?

And even if Alger gave it to herself, she had to find a way to send the other party another payment.

"Knock knock~"

Crane stretched out his finger and tapped the edge of the long bronze table lightly, attracting the attention of the others, and smiled, "Are you willing to cooperate with me in this matter?" ”

"I'm happy to cooperate."

Audrey was a little excited, and nodded reservedly and elegantly.

The spirit of the upside-down hanged man was tense, and he hesitated and hesitated, but in the end he bowed his head respectfully.

"Your will is my expectation."

The corners of Klein's mouth rose slightly.

In fact, the 'attempt' he has to do is very simple, which can be described in two words:

Sacrifice, giving.

The inspiration for both comes partly from reality, and partly from embers and the 'sun'.

The Silver City, where the sun is located, regularly performs sacrifices to the 'All-Knowing and Almighty' they believe in.

This is a sacrifice.

And Ember's 'items' have the ability to bind souls, and can be directly brought to the gray mist and handed over to others to bring back to reality.

This is a gift.

The combination of the two made Klein also think of an attempt-

Could he have one of the members of the Tarot Order sacrifice it to him, and then he would give it to the other members?

He had actually had this idea for a long time, but he never had a good chance to bring it up.

In addition, perhaps Tingen's life was too comfortable, almost making him forget that he was in a world full of dangers, and the slightest carelessness would cost him his life.

Coupled with the fact that he now owes Ember a huge debt, all of this puts him under a lot of pressure.

And this made Klein feel more and more pressed for time.

It also made him desperate to turn those ideas in his mind into reality.

And the current deal between Miss 'Justice' and Mr. 'Hanged Man' is just the right opportunity to give him such an opportunity.

After receiving a voluntary reply from the two, Crane instructed on some rituals and prayers for the sacrifice.

When all of this is done, it's someone else's turn to trade.

"I have two questions."

Ember raised two fingers and said slowly, "First, I want to know as much as possible about the Aurora Society and Elemental Dawn. Second, I would like to know if you have any information related to the 'world of paintings', whether it is accurate information or hearsay legends. ”

After a pause, Ember explained, "You can think of the world of painting as a strange and magical object that is a painting in the form of a painting, possibly of any type. On the surface, it doesn't look much different from an ordinary painting, but in fact, there is a world inside. ”

"Withinworld?"

Audrey's eyes glowed with curiosity, and Ember's description made her intrigued.

"Painting the world?"

Klein was shocked.

He certainly knows the world of painting, but only in games.

Is there also a world of painting in this world?

No!

Since Ember offered to do so, it proved that he must have been sure of the existence of the painting world before he came to inquire.

But Ember also apparently learned about the existence of the painting world recently, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly asked until now.

But who told him?

Klein had an answer in his mind.

Ember had only been in this world for a short time, and his access to information was extremely limited.

And the person who can tell him such important and secret information is not the Night Church, who else can it be?

But the question is, why does the Night Church know so much information?

How do they relate to Ember?

And......

Crane suddenly felt a chill behind him.

He and Ember are both traversers.

Ember is deeply bound to the Church of the Night, but what about himself?

Are you also secretly being watched by the people of the Night Church?

Inexplicably, Klein suddenly thought of what had happened when he had just been in this world for a few days.

At that time, he found an animal trainer who pretended to be a soothsayer to divinate for him.

And the card that the opponent divined is the fool!

Even if he pretends to be a 'fool', he is not affected by that card.

Could that 'animal tamer' also be a member of the Night Church?

Crane suddenly had a feeling of deep thought.

"I'm sorry."

Not knowing what Mister Fool was thinking, Alger spoke slowly, "I don't know anything about what you call the 'world of paintings,' and I've never even heard of it. As for the Aurora and Elemental Dawn, I know very little information. ”

After a pause, Alger saw that Ember didn't show an impatient expression, and then continued, "I've already talked about the Aurora Society in the previous Tarot Meeting, and I don't think you want me to repeat it. ”

"But I can add some information that I haven't talked about, and you may be interested."

"Aurora will have five saints and twenty-two oracles, these orals are codenamed by letters, and they call themselves Mr. A and Mr. X, they are at least extraordinary in Sequence 7, and the strongest is Sequence 5, and they are all quite good at concealing themselves."

"And the Aurora Society seems to have a large number of alternate orals, and every time an oracle dies, a new one will replace it."

"Mr. A?"

Audrey was suddenly a little surprised, but the 'audience' played her to keep her restrained.

"As for the Elemental Dawn."

Alger paused before adding, "This is a new mysterious organization in the Fifth Age, only a hundred years after its birth, and it is quite young even among the many hidden organizations. But because of its youth, it has relatively little information circulating. ”

"All I know is that this organization once seemed to have some connection to the Morse Ascetics."

Alger paused, noticing that Ember was still looking at him, and said a little helplessly, "That's all I know. ”

He thought he knew enough.

But for the question after question thrown by Ember, he was completely unable to answer.

For example, 'Painting World', he had never heard of such a thing.

Wait a minute!

Alger's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly continued to speak, "Mr. 'Lover', I already have some clues about the sea slave trade that you asked me to investigate before. ”

"I've heard that the one who has been most involved in the slave trade at sea lately is the crazy captain Connors Victor, who is rumored to be in contact with many human traffickers and slave traders."

"But by all indications, it appears that he was not personally involved in the slave trade."

"Why do you say that?"

Miss Justice asked, a little strangely.

If it is certain that he was involved in the 'slave trade', why did he say that he was not involved in the slave trade?

"You have to have a large fleet to run the slave trade, but Captain Mad only has one ship. In other words, if he relied only on this one ship to do the slave trade, he might lose money. Because even if a ship is fully loaded, it can't hold many slaves, and even if it is sold all, it may not make a profit on the cost. ”

"But."

Alger paused, his face grime, and said solemnly, "There are also rumors that the reason why the mad captain can unscrupulously trade slaves at sea with just one ship is because he has a magical item that can hold a large number of people. So he doesn't need to maintain a large fleet, just one boat is enough. ”

"But no one knows what this magical object looks like or what it is called. So before that, most people only regarded this as a rumor with very little credibility. ”

After a pause, Alger continued, "But judging from the current situation, I feel that this magical object may have something to do with the world of painting you mentioned. ”
