Earl Hall's Court, a small private study.

Audrey pinched her cheek, still in disbelief at what had just happened.

She actually saw a great hidden being with her own eyes.

Not only that, but she was unscathed, and even taught by that being!

Looking down, Audrey saw a "crimson" circulating on the back of her hand, like a "tattoo" on a star.

The "crimson" gradually darkens, and finally disappears into the skin.

It was only at this time that Audrey was sure that she was not dreaming.

On the table, the delicate and small eight-tone bell-bell table clock pointed to the time of nearly half past three.

"Fool" ...... She looked at the notebook spread out on the table, and three lines of honorable names in Rune came into view.

Comparing the two versions of the honorable name before and after, Audrey has a guess -

Therefore, Mr. "Fool" lost the authority of "wishes" and only had "good luck", so he changed his honorific name?

Fear is really a very strange emotion.

Just half an hour ago, every time Audrey saw the three-line "Fool" name on the note, she would feel a wave of helplessness and hesitation, and her heart was full of gloom.

If she hadn't become a "spectator", she would have definitely behaved abnormally in the past few days and was discovered by her family.

But now, seeing the honorific name on the note again, she has completely lost the heaviness and depression she felt before, and the negative emotions have almost completely dissipated.

At most, at best, there is only a little doubt left.

The reason for all this change was simply because of a wonderful party, an exchange that was somewhat like a private lesson.

Sure enough, Russell the Great's famous words are not wrong -

"The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear; And the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown. ”

This is something I have verified from personal experience...... Well, Mr. "Fool" doesn't look like one of those rumored horror gods, and Mr. "The Hanged Man" is also a gentleman who is happy to share.

Thinking of this, the corners of Audrey's mouth curved slightly, and she had more expectations for the drama "The Return of the Earl" the day after tomorrow.

……

Above the gray fog.

Crane sat in the Fool's high-backed chair, reminiscing about what he had learned from the party he had just had.

With the information cobbled together, he finally had a more in-depth and systematic understanding of what happened to him during this time.

Judging from various clues, the extraordinary way mastered by the Antigonus family should be the "soothsayer" sequence;

And the "Esoteric Society" has been chasing the traces of the Antigonus family for many years, and must have mastered a lot of follow-up formulas corresponding to the "soothsayers".

Crane felt that he would inevitably have to deal with these two hidden forces more in the future.

Not now, of course.

He already knew the recipe for the Sequence 8 "Joker" potion, and when he digested the "soothsayer" potion in his body, he could be promoted, whether he secretly raised materials on his own or submitted a special application to the church "Sanctuary".

Crane hadn't thought about which way to get promoted.

If he was secretly promoted, then he would obviously need a large sum of gold pounds...... Well, this may fall on Miss "Justice", who looks like she is not bad for money.

I wonder if Miss "Justice" has a "blasphemy card" in her hand? If so, which one? I wonder what the so-called mystery is hidden in the "Blasphemy Card"?

Well, there's no urgency in this matter...... Even if I got that card now, I wouldn't be able to solve the puzzle and uncover the mystery...... The most important thing is to collect more diaries first.

After thinking about it all, Crane wrapped himself in spirituality, simulated the feeling of falling, and left above the gray mist.

……

Williams Street, Cherry's ancestral home.

Valera sat in the semi-open sunroom with a view on the third floor of the house, enjoying afternoon tea while contemplating things related to the "tarot meeting".

Judging from Audrey's temptation, she should have recited or copied her name, so ...... She must have been pulled into the gray fog by Crane and participated in a "tarot meeting", right?

Alas, I hope she can still have a more sense of belonging to the "Tarot Society" like in the original book.

Valilla couldn't participate in the "Tarot Club" for a while, so she couldn't control the direction of the "Tarot Club", so she only thought about it, and the specific countermeasures would have to wait until she returned to the "Tarot Club" to learn more about the situation.

Until she has enough ability, she still prefers that things will generally develop in the direction described in the original book.

Only in this way can she have the advantage of "foresight" and make a reasonable plan.

And during the period when she couldn't participate in the "Tarot Meeting", all she could do was to continue the previous plan, in addition to playing the role of digestion, and also to intervene in Crane's choice at the right time.

……

On the shores of the sea, the city of Tdelis.

In the afternoon, Pierrot travels in a horse-drawn carriage to a fishing village on the outskirts of the city to deal with the extraordinary events there.

This is his conversion assessment, so it can only be done by one person.

Of course, he was not the only one in the carriage, but also one of his companions, the "Prayer of Light" in Sequence 8, who was also the guide who had been teaching him all sorts of extraordinary knowledge.

This is to keep Pierrot safe.

Captain Tulius made it clear that his companion would not make a move unless his life was in danger, and that if this companion and mentor did, it would mean that he had failed the assessment.

If that happens, he'll have to accept another contract and become a peripheral member of the Dawnbreaker team.

The members of the periphery have no promotion opportunities at all, and most of them are only responsible for ordinary incidents, and I heard that there are also small restrictions on freedom of movement...... In short, they are far inferior to the regular team members in all aspects.

Fortunately, this mission is not difficult, it should be just a haunting water ghost.

Pierrot believed that a ghost like this would be able to solve the problem once and for all if he found his place and performed a purification ritual.

If there must be something bad, it's probably the time for this mission.

Although he was not very active about the meetings convened by Monsieur Fool, Pierrot was reluctant to be absent if he could.

After all, every time he misses a meeting, it means that he knows less about the meeting-

This hindered his idea of avoiding danger and preserving himself.

Driven by the driver, the horse-drawn carriage carried the two passengers from the smooth concrete road, through gravel and mud roads, and finally stopped on the side of the road on the outskirts of the fishing village.

Pierrot got out of the carriage and walked into the village, intending to go to the village chief first to find out the situation, followed by his companion who "prayed for light".
