The "Tarot Meeting" is the fifth time it has been convened, and it has largely formed a default fixed process.

The meeting begins with the submission of the Russell diary by the members to be read by the "fools"; After that, there is the trading session; Then comes the chit-chat phase.

During the deal, Valeera showed the mark Burton had brought back, proving that she had reached the deal agreement.

After Alger confirmed that it was correct, he revealed the recipe for the "Mariner" potion and gave it to Valeera, completing the deal and giving Crane a complete recipe for the potion.

Of course, when it came to trading, he had mixed feelings.

Alger expects it will be more than a month before he goes to sea.

Obviously, all the materials have been gathered, but it will take so long to really complete the promotion, and the mood is certainly not much better.

Especially when he knows the "acting method", but he doesn't know that he can play it in advance, his anxiety can be imagined.

The "Tarot Club" is still in its infancy, and the transaction is almost non-existent, and after the completion of Alger's deal, the party automatically turns to the small talk stage.

By this time, Alger had already adjusted his emotions.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to test Mr. "Fool", so he looked sideways at the head of the long bronze table and asked:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to ask one thing, is the real Creator 'Sanctuary' that the Aurora will proclaim the legendary 'God's Forsaken'?"

Unbeknownst to Alger, the question was a far overshoot for the mysterious "Fool".

Crane thought about it for a few seconds, and replied in a calm tone:

"That's not something you should know by now."

Alger's heart tightened, and he immediately bowed his head and apologized, "Please forgive me for my little trespassing." ”

After that, he didn't dare to speak again.

Pierrot, on the other hand, has always maintained an attitude of not being far away, participating, but not deeply involved in the "Tarot Meeting", only doing what is necessary, and naturally has no desire to speak.

In the end, it was Valilla who found a message to share and held up the field.

The news she said was that the Aurora Society appeared to be conducting missionary activities in the docklands of Beckland.

To this, Alger replied:

"This is a normal phenomenon, in the East End and the docklands of Beckland, there are many people who are willing to do anything for money, and for them who have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, believing in the evil god is just a trivial matter."

Although it was a bit of a non-answer, Alger's words still pierced Crane's heart.

He recalled the experience of living in the "middle street" of Iron Cross Street in his previous memory, and found that the lives of those who lived in the real lower streets were indeed similar to those described by Alger.

He hid his emotions and ended the party peacefully.

Having mastered the recipe for the "Joker" potion, Crane struggled to overcome his lazy thoughts and went to the "Divination Club" on Howles Street to play it.

Therefore, he met Megoos, who had been chosen as his mother by the "Fraudster" Lanerus, and was already pregnant with the heir of the "true creator".

Of course, because it didn't fit the "plot" arrangement, Crane didn't immediately notice the problem.

……

After leaving the Grey Mist this time, Valera was temporarily out of the Tarot Society.

Because of her previous efforts, her life has basically become smooth.

During the day, she was a knowledgeable, etiquette-wise, and slightly arrogant young lady, and her status was quite noble;

She maintained an upper-class life, selectively attended balls and afternoon teas, and little by little entered the social circle of the aristocracy.

At night, she is a witch who spreads pleasure and suffering, and among her victims, she already has a title called "Phantom Black Queen".

This stems from the "Queen of Spades" card that she reveals every time she plays an action.

Of course, this title is limited to a small scope.

Moreover, people who know the "Phantom Black Queen" have a different attitude towards her.

People who have really been affected by the "Phantom Black Queen" love and hate, think and fear her.

They are very nostalgic for the top-notch experience of that short time, and they are disgusted with the ordinary life of ordinary life.

It's just that people who have heard of the "Phantom Black Queen" have only full expectations for her.

They carry the card of "Q of Spades" with them, and they have to go to the "Banquet Building" every day, just hoping to meet the "Phantom Black Queen" and become a victim.

It's like a siege.

The people inside want to get out, and the people outside want to get in.

From the 17th to the 27th, in just ten days of playing, the real victims involved were only 100 people, which may be less than one-tenth of the regular customer group of the "Banquet Building", but the "popularity" is far more than that.

As a result, Valilla decided to move to a new place.

During this time, Audrey found an opportunity to meet her, and took the opportunity to return the notes to make side taps.

After reciting her name, on the 22nd, late at night on Sunday, she had a nightmare in which she saw herself above a gray mist, and saw a magnificent and majestic hall and a figure covered in gray mist.

Of course, Audrey's impression of this nightmare was only for a moment, because she woke up the next moment.

For Audrey's side knocks, Valeera naturally did not show any flaws, and gave an answer that she hadn't carefully read the notes according to the preset.

In addition to this, Harold also discussed with Valilla his latest understanding of "criminals".

Valera felt the same way as him, and felt that there might be another way to play the role of a "criminal" in this understanding, like "moderation" and "indulgence".

Of course, feelings are just feelings, and there is still a veil away from the truth.

……

Friday, July 27.

Half past eight in the evening.

Not long after Crane returned to the room, he heard an illusory call.

Someone else prayed to me? Isn't it still the beautiful girl with blonde hair...... With this in mind, Crane locked the door, raised the "spiritual wall", and walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.

In order to minimize Valeera's suspicion, after Audrey had recited her honorific name, he waited until late Sunday, the deadline for convening the "Tarot Society", that is, late at night, to pull the sleeping blonde girl to the gray mist and establish a stable connection.

Of course, it only pulled up for a moment.

In this way, in the blonde girl's perception, she was just awakened from a nightmare.

After ascending the gray mist, the first thing Crane checked was the crimson star corresponding to the blonde girl.

But...... Not her.

Crane searched and soon found the crimson star that was pulsating, and it corresponded to Mr. Tower.

He spread spirituality in response to the prayer and heard a specific request from Mr. "Tower":

"Dear Mr. Fool, I have something to attend next week's meeting, and I hope to have your permission."

Another one who asked for leave? This...... Should I cancel the next party, or should I pull that blonde girl up to make up the numbers? Crane thought about it for a moment and decided to respond to Mr. Tower's plea before considering the issue.

"I see." He replied.
