Chapter 84: The Esoteric Society
With no business to visit, Lewis went out for a walk after lunch and did not return to the detective agency until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
"I picked up another £5 today, and I can pick up money almost every two days, £5 is already a middle-class week's salary, and it's still a good middle-class earning."
Lewis sighed, and every time he picked up the money, he warned himself that luck was conserved, and that luck should be used for more important things.
However, every time he saw banknotes scattered on the ground, he forgot what he had warned him about.
"It must be that the contamination of the Antigonus family notes is still affecting me, which makes me always have a bad memory, even if I am promoted to Sequence VII, it will still take a long time to completely deal with the effects of the pollution."
Suddenly remembering that there was a tarot meeting this afternoon, he locked the door of the detective agency, made a sealed spiritual wall, and sat in the attic waiting for Klein's call.
Shortly after three o'clock, a burst of crimson erupted in front of Lewis's eyes, and he made his way through the insane whispering to the gray mist.
Against the backdrop of a giant's palace, Crane stood at the top of the bronze table, and to his left was a ring carved from silver.
Lewis used the "machine" property to control the change of facial expression, which he did not understand, and gave it to Dunn. Smith's lucky charm, why did it appear in Klein's hands.
In an instant, a conjecture appeared in his mind, and he figured out a lot.
Audrey was about to say hello happily, when she suddenly saw the "upside-down hanged man" make a gesture and speak first:
"Mr. Fool, I have obtained a total of 19 pages of Russell's diary this time.
Here, I must thank you for conveying the message to Mr. Destiny, which is the reward you deserve. ”
Turning his gaze, the "Hanged Man" said to "Fate" again:
"Thank you for sending out your followers to get rid of Ziringus.
The magical items promised you to use for diving have arrived in Beckland, and will be delivered to you when the time is right.
Plus, I owe you a payment. ”
"It's just that my dependant happens to be in Beckland." Lewis smiled faintly and didn't say much.
"Good." Crane smiled indifferently, and as the "Hanged Man" revealed the six pages of Rosell's diary that he had temporarily recorded, the papers came to him.
He didn't read Russell's diary immediately today, and when he saw that "The Sun", "The Hanged Man", and "Justice" all focused on the lucky charm on the left-hand side, he pretended to be casual and explained:
"My loved one has encountered a very interesting thing, a certain being is trying to use this lucky charm to rewrite a person's fate, the fate of death!"
The reason for the explanation was that he wanted to hear the opinion of Mr. "Fate", and although it was not certain whether Mr. "Fate" was omniscient or omnipotent, it was certain that Mr. "Fate" must be very knowledgeable and perhaps knew something.
Lewis's expression changed imperceptibly, and he smiled and laughed at himself:
"This ring is supposed to come from a poor creature trying to change his fate, he just has a peek at fate, but that's about it."
Klein nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, he already had a conclusion in his heart: the poor worm that Mr. Fate said must be a high-level powerhouse, and it is already unthinkable for ordinary people to be able to peek into fate.
Listening to Mr. "Fate's" wording, there is really a way to peek into fate, and this is probably the authority that Mr. "Fate" has.
It's a pity that that mysterious powerhouse is not strong enough to rewrite his fate after all.
Audrey's eyes widened, and Mr. Fate's description was too understated:
"A strong man who can peek into his fate should be a prophet. In the eyes of the nobles I know, the prophet is already a mysterious and powerful existence, but Mr. Fate actually just calls the other party a pitiful worm.
Sure enough, Mr. Fate is already a true god person, even more powerful than some true gods. ”
Alger's body trembled slightly, a high-order transcendent who could peek into fate, in the eyes of Mr. "Fate", he was just a poor worm powerless to rewrite fate.
That's right, the transcendent who can peek into fate must be a high-sequence transcendent. At least, in the middle and low sequences, he had never heard of any sequence of transcendents who could peek into fate.
"I didn't expect Mr. 'Fate' to be so terrifying, with Mr. Fate's erudition, he had already guessed what I thought about the Tarot Society in my heart, but fortunately, I just suspected that the Tarot Society was related to the evil gods, and I never thought of betraying the Tarot Society.
Otherwise, with Mr. Fate's means, I might have died a more miserable death than Chillingus. ”
There was a moment of silence above the gray mist, and Crane flipped through the six pages of Alger's embodied diary:
"Mr. 'Door'? Poor fellow lost in the dark, I don't know what sequence he is equivalent to?
The War of the Four Emperors in the Quaternary Period refers to the 'Black Emperor' of the Solomon Empire, the half-mad 'Blood Emperor' of the Tuduo Dynasty, the 'Night Emperor' of the Trensoster Empire, and the 'Hades Emperor' of the Southern Continent.
If the Grim Reaper is crazy, so will the gods?!
Zarathu visited Russell the Great, the head of the Esoteric Order, for what purpose? ”
Due to the lack of preconditions, it was difficult for Klein to really understand what was written in Russell's diary, and he could only accept this knowledge for the time being.
He knew that he might know more if he asked Destiny, but that would undermine the powerful image he had created.
After reading the diary, Klein thought for a while, then smiled indifferently and said:
"I guess I should tell you some common sense."
"Mr. 'Fool', what common sense did Russell the Great mention? I can pay you in exchange for this news. Audrey couldn't help but speak.
However, I ask for a one-on-one exchange! She silently added in her heart.
"No, it's just simple common sense, believe me even if I don't say it, Mr. 'Fate' will mention it one day."
Klein stopped tapping on the table and described in a flat tone:
"The first common sense, the law of immortality of extraordinary properties, that extraordinary properties do not destroy, do not decrease, but are transferred from one thing to another.
The second common sense is the conservation of extraordinary properties within similar sequences. ”
Lewis smiled, Klein finally mentioned these two points, of course, if it was up to him, he would definitely find a way to collect a little "payment".
Eventually, Klein fished for "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" with a similar sequence of messages, and used them to investigate the Order.
Lewis was thinking about how to get on the line with "justice" or "hanged man" in reality, although he could not sell knowledge to poor "fools", but he could sell it to the relatively rich "justice" lady.
As for the knowledge of the Esoteric Order, he did know some, and even roughly knew the current state of the leader of the Esoteric Order, Zarathu.
