"Acceptable, your pay." Colley took out five gold pounds and gently placed them across the table.

Seeing that Mary's eyes lit up, she picked up the gold coin to distinguish the authenticity, and she suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for Flanders to have a merchant friend, at least the other party was quite generous when he gave money to the event.

"Okay, Mr. Colley, then we know each other, what do you want to know? I'll be happy to answer your questions. ”

Colley asked, "What do you think is the purpose of the Tower Pathway?" ”

Mary was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and said:

"I think you must have made a mistake, I am a folk extraordinary person who acts independently, and if you ask me about the mysteries of this way and the organization of teachings, I must not know, I can show you my extraordinary ability."

Mary opened the pocket of her forearm, as if she had rehearsed it many times, and quickly pulled out a stack of cards from it.

"Unlike the Extraordinary, who took potions to advance through the ranks, I didn't perform certain rituals to please the gods, I was saved by chance and became a Sequence 18 card builder, but I needed to craft at least 10 cards to be truly extraordinary."

Colley looked down at the cards and saw 9 beautifully drawn cards, 4 Slash, 4 Shields, and 1 Anthropologist.

Slash, which literally means to inflict a magical slash, forms a magical barrier.

The Anthropologist's card effect is to intervene in the verbal strife of different races and provide some possibility of reconciliation through exchange and negotiation.

Anyone who has played a difficult card game knows that the basic deck is not good in most cases, except for a very short transition period in the early stage, it will be used for a purpose, and from then on, it will be more and more eye-catching, and the high-pressure combat card draw is even more like a blow and want to die.

Miss Mary, on the other hand, seems to be in the first stage of building a base deck.

Mary was unaware of Colley's mental activity, and said to herself:

"Pretty ordinary, right? In fact, I think so myself. ”

"My life and work have always been ordinary and subtle, and apart from harassing foreign tribes and trying to learn from them some Terran, I never thought that I would become an extraordinary person and communicate with other races as an anthropologist."

"I left my hometown and went to sea with the club's expedition team, investigating and researching the history and culture of other racial civilizations, trying to decipher the secrets of history.

"Until one day I was in danger and almost died, but a mysterious man who was good at using cards to fight rescued me and gave me a blank card, telling me to paint my image on it when I needed power, and this was the opportunity for the extraordinary road."

"I thought this was my fate, but I completely overestimated my extraordinary professional talent, I didn't know anything about card making and design, and even the design ideas of slashing and shields were popular cards that I learned from Miss Locharna."

"I can only make up to 4 of each basic card, and although I can meet the basic self-protection needs, I have no achievements in communicating the world and playing the role of an extraordinary, and I have no clue about designing and making cards, so I have been coming to the club in distress."

"In this way, I still have to worry about the extraordinary traits getting out of hand - so Mr. Coley, please forgive me for my cunning."

"You probably ...... Probably the only one willing to take the initiative to pay for my bitter water, Miss Locharna can testify. ”

After listening to this, Ke Li fell into thought.

For now, at least, Mary was not like the vicious cultists who liked to plot sacrificial rituals.

She is an ordinary person who has been brought into the extraordinary path, full of headaches and distress about extraordinary things, and she does not show any threat in terms of combat power and mystery, and is even more ordinary and ordinary than the gem of the demon sequence.

Colley patiently asked, "Do you remember what the mysterious man who gave you the card looked like?" What is his accent and identity? ”

Mary looked helpless: "I thought it was a troubadour poem about a hero saving beauty, but who knew he gave me a card and left." I was really sent away as a little girl who didn't know anything, is my charm really so bad? ”

"Anyway, my current outfit more or less imitates his outfit, but that was a few years ago, and I haven't seen the mysterious man since, except for the Extraordinary of the Tower Path."

"It's a pity that decks are the secret of the extraordinary, and they don't want to give me a lesson to learn from."

Lady Locharna said, "Sequences and pathways, there is indeed an anomalous relationship between strength and promotion. ”

"But it's still us humans who are really using this power, and we don't have to worry too much about the pathway."

"After reaching a certain sequence, there is a way to excrete the extraordinary characteristics of the low sequence that you don't need."

Colley nodded and looked at Mary, "What do you think the mystery man gave you blank cards for?" ”

Mary shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: "I don't know at all, maybe he thinks I'm too weak and wants me to protect myself through cards?" ”

"While the cards are pretty good, similar to flintlock pistols without any recoil, it's perfect for a lady like me and I don't have to spend money on bullets and don't have to worry about hurting myself, but it turns out I'm not that kind of material at all."

Collie held his chin thoughtfully: "Aren't you worried that the danger is designed by the other party, and the other party is just deliberately leading you to the path of the extraordinary?" ”

"As far as I know, the lower the sequence of the extraordinary, the more likely it is to have an abnormality due to overcrowding in the same sequence, and it is more or less bizarre to become an extraordinary person just because of a card, have you felt abnormal in the past few years?"

Mary had a rare hesitation: "That's ...... No, maybe the volume of different pathways is different, and the tower path has a little more low-sequence extraordinary, and it won't have much of an impact? ”

Colley gave up asking, "Maybe I'm overthinking, thank you for your answer, Miss Mary." ”

"In the future, I will continue to keep an eye out for the extraordinary people in the Tower Path, and if you find anything, you can also find a way to tell me."

Mary breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the gold coins into her purse with peace of mind: "Long live understanding. ”

"I'd be grateful if Mr. Coolie's dreams could inspire me to design cards."

"Well, if it's inconvenient to reveal it, don't be embarrassed to refuse me, anthropologists have long been accustomed to all kinds of doubts and rejections."

"Then let's find a chance to talk again, goodbye."

Corrie leaves the club, bids farewell to his newfound friends, and drives the beast of burden to roam the Mammoth's horns.

"I didn't find any flaws under questioning, is this the style of the Tower Pathway? Pull ordinary people to become extraordinary in an open and honest way? ”

"Also, it's hard for ordinary people to resist extraordinary powers, but when the mystery man offers cards, he doesn't talk about the cost of being extraordinary, and he doesn't have any guiding behavior. Mary may have inadvertently become part of the great sacrificial ritual, or an unconscious accomplice. ”

"However, my mind is empty of the history and lore of the Tower Pathway, and I have no knowledge or memory of this at all, so maybe I should go to the library instead of the club, and read the books directly to get more accurate information."

"Before that, the extraordinary people of the Tower Path are included in the scope of observation, and they must not be rashly hunted and attacked, otherwise it is likely to backfire, making more people eager to obtain the power of the Tower Path to strengthen themselves."

"It's not difficult to change the owner of cards and gems, and the real source of power may still be in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Strange, how is it a little similar to the idea of making soul gems, could it be that the gem secret realm of Ink Winter City is trying to remind me of this? No matter how different the paths are, there will always be a time when they will end up in the same place? ”

"From this point of view, there is no element of lying in today's intelligence, and it is very likely that it is only a part of the incomplete truth......

Colly looked thoughtfully into the distance: "And I have to find a way to design the legendary gems, is this the attraction of extraordinary properties?" ”

"Wait, what did I forget, what am I going to do, I've only done part of the work but haven't done it?"

Suddenly, Colley realized that he had gradually forgotten to ask Madame Rosharna for the details of the caravan's lost property.

"I see, I've been affected but I just can't be aware of it? And it's not a thought or a curse? ”

"Well, now that I've realized that if I force myself to ask about it, will something unusual happen right away?"

"It looks like I can't hide from it until it's over, so I'd better park near the workshop or club."
