Chapter 26: "Strength"
In the majestic palace above the gray mist, Crane sat at the top of the bronze table, and pointed out the special origin of this "Anduin".
Since he had made up his mind to pull this young man into the gray fog, he naturally wanted to find a way to fool him into the Tarot Society.
Because whether it is out of care for the fellow countrymen or curiosity about fellow travelers, this practice is very necessary.
In the subsequent tarot meeting, Klein will inevitably read Russell's diary many times, and this "Anduin" will also learn the fact that he understands Russell.
Therefore, it doesn't really make much sense for Klein to hide his knowledge of the traverser, but rather exposes his own weakness.
It's better to directly and generously pick out this matter, and show himself as a mysterious existence who is quite interested in the traverser.
And such a mysterious existence who can easily detect the traverser will naturally have a very full understanding of the most famous traverser Russell.
Therefore, it would make it logical for Klein to know about Rosselwin.
Hmm, did you just break this matter? Gao Wenlai thought that Ke would always let him join the Tarot Society first, and then slowly test it in the following days.
But unexpectedly, Klein unexpectedly directly said something about his special origin, putting pressure on his side.
So, Gawain had no choice but to lower his head slightly, make a nervous look, and said:
"Dear Mr. Fool, although I have had some special experiences, I am now just an ordinary extraordinary person."
He knew that Crane had the ability to observe other people's emotions above the gray mist, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Because for a traverser, the lack of reverence for those gods and ghosts is actually a normal thing.
This is also reflected in Mr. Ke in the original book, his behavior of pretending to be a ghost and pretending to be a fool itself shows that he is not as reverent of the existence of gods as the aborigines here.
And this situation is even more vividly manifested in Russell, and he can also be said to be a typical example of not being afraid of heaven and earth in the mysterious world.
Originally, in order to show favor and woo him, Steam Ji made his second son Bonova an angel of the Steam Church.
If you look at it according to the general concept here, in fact, this can be regarded as a great honor.
However, Steam Ji's behavior made Russell hold a grudge, resulting in a person-and-god turn against him, which can be said to be a typical example of patting the horse's leg on the horse's leg.
What's more, as a warrior who lacks special means, Gawain actually has no good way to hide his true emotions in his heart.
Therefore, he didn't hide his true emotions too much, just did superficial work, and just meant it.
Do you think I'm going to take him to slice? Klein was a little amused in his heart, but he felt that "Anduin" on the other side was not as nervous as he appeared.
And when he habitually observed the other party's aura color with spiritual vision, he also found that the other party's emotions were more calm and excited, and there was not too much nervousness and fear.
Haven't you just crossed over? Sure enough, unlike Mr. "The Hanging Man" and Miss "Justice", there is too much awe of mysterious existence.
In this case, it's not easy to fool, I'm afraid you have to use temptation, Klein has a small calculation in his heart.
"Hehe, I'm a fool who likes to exchange for equal value, I won't let you pay for nothing, you can use the knowledge you know to exchange what you want with me." Crane kept his posture unchanged and chuckled.
Of course, the premise is that the help you want to ask me to deal with it, if not, then I can only pretend that I am not interested in your knowledge.
Thinking of this, Klein smiled in a relaxed tone:
"In addition, there are two people who are similar to you, and I have been pulled here for various reasons."
"They want me to hold regular gatherings to trade recipes, buy and sell materials, exchange messages, and commission tasks."
"I promised them."
Gawain understood the hint of Mr. Ke's words, and that was exactly what he was trying to do to get here.
Therefore, he also asked cooperatively, "Dear Mr. Fool, can I join this party too?" ”
"Yes, every Monday at 3 p.m., make sure you are out of an undisturbed environment."
Klein smiled and pointed to the cards that suddenly appeared on the surface of the bronze table:
"They decided to use the name of the tarot card as their respective code name, and you can pick your own one, but 'Justice' and 'The Hanged Man' already have owners, so you can't choose them."
At this time, you can also choose your own cards, and then you can basically only rely on blind drawing.
"'Power', I choose the 'Power' card." Gao Wen, who had already thought about this question for a long time, said.
Among the tarot cards, the "Strength" card represents courage, self-confidence, and a strong will, which goes well with his sequence.
Of course, because he chooses his own cards, he can actually choose cards like "Grim Reaper" and "Pope", which sound very compelling.
Although it doesn't match his own sequence, at least it won't sound like the title of "power", just like a fool.
Even, he can choose "demon" as a code name because of the demon sealed in his body.
However, in the original book, the various code names in the Tarot Society seem to have their own occult meanings.
To put it mildly, there are different luck on each codename, just like those immortal names in the world of "The Respect of the World".
For example, "The Hanged Man" implies the meaning of sacrifice, so in fact, Alger's original fate was to be sacrificed.
It's just that the squid later arranged a side quest for him in the Western Continent, which allowed him to escape the fate of being killed.
In addition, the code names such as "sun", "justice", and "hermit" actually have their own occult meanings, or they can also be understood as the will of the squid.
And since you have come to this world, you naturally have to follow the rules of this world more or less, at least there is no harm in following the customs of the locals.
Therefore, Gawain did not dare to play any tricks in the selection of cards, but honestly chose the "power" card that matched his sequence.
"It's silly, at least the meaning of 'will defeats difficulties' is still very good, and the code name 'strength' sounds more or less domineering." Gawain comforted himself in his heart.
