Monday, September 17.

In the morning, Valera returned to work after her vacation at Beckland University.

Because of last week's vacation, she doubled her teaching assignments this week-

In addition to the classes that were scheduled for Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons, she also made up for the missed lessons of the previous week on Wednesday afternoons and Friday mornings.

Of course, even so, it's not that difficult.

In the morning, in a relaxed and harmonious office atmosphere, Valera didn't spend too much effort to write the teaching.

Anyway, the effect of her lectures mainly depends on the eloquence of the "instigator", and on creating a fanatical learning atmosphere.

Work and life on campus are always very stable, and the impact of a week away on Valeera is basically like this, which can be said to be minimal.

The only thing that's been a little special during the week she's been away is a mechanical engineering-related idea gathering activity.

The event, initiated by full professor of engineering Portland Mormont at an indefinite deadline, is said to be an attempt to find inspiration for inventions through the imagination of faculty and staff.

In the Rune system of higher education, a full professor is not only a title, but also a position, equivalent to the head of the department.

It's also very easy to participate in the event, just write down your ideas on paper and drop them into a dedicated inbox.

The rewards are also generous, and if ideas are recognized, in addition to cash prizes of up to £500, there is also the opportunity to visit the private laboratory of the member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Kingdom of Rune.

If that's all there is to it, it's not too special.

But if you take into account Associate Professor Barak's special reminder, how can Valilla not understand the intention behind this activity?

They set up the stage in advance, hoping to establish a connection with themselves.

If nothing else, it should be that the full professor has tried the "cosplay" and felt the wonderful feedback of completely digesting the potion of the "Knowledgeable...... After verifying their sincerity, they naturally want to continue the unfinished conversation last time, after all, they made it clear last time that the "playing method" is an advance of occult knowledge.

Their most reasonable reaction also made Valera breathe a sigh of relief-

In this way, the risk of her identity being exposed is minimal.

Valilla chatted with her colleagues in the office about the idea, and after making sure that someone had already submitted the "draft", she returned to her desk and wrote a random "idea" and threw it into her inbox.

“…… Hopefully, my creativity will be honored to be recognized – Valera Vicky. ”

In order not to interfere with the current technological discoveries, she carefully proposed a basically meaningless "idea".

Disruptive technological innovation will cause subversive social changes, and Valera now only wants to use the advantage of foresight to improve herself, solve her own problems and secrets, and avoid major deviations between reality and the original book.

Otherwise, not to mention electric energy, she only needs to mention the internal combustion engine, which will definitely set off a lot of technological innovation.

And she doesn't have to do it herself!

From external combustion engines such as steam engines to internal combustion engines with fluid fuels, there is no major technical bottleneck in between, it is just a matter of design thinking.

In the afternoon, Valera left school and returned home to wait for the long-lost "Tarot Meeting".

The last time she participated in the "Tarot Meeting" was on July 23, which was the fifth convening.

In order to make room for the original members and correct the deviation between the "Tarot Club" in reality and the description in the original book, Valera has missed the "Tarot Club" six times in a row, and the upcoming "Tarot Club" is already the twelfth convening.

The clock was fast approaching three, and a crimson glow appeared just in time, bringing her above the gray mist.

……

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

In a townhouse in the port district, Pierrot leans back in the chair in front of his desk, tapping his fingers on the armrests of the chair.

He was waiting for Mr. "Fool" to summon him, waiting to participate in another "tarot meeting".

Of course, Pierrot wasn't completely waiting in the air.

In the short time when the time was approaching three o'clock, he couldn't help but think about a question again-

Why did Mr. "Fool" cancel last week's party?

At last week's "Tarot Meeting", there were only three main things discussed:

One is the relevant intelligence of "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Ziringers infiltrating Beckland; the second is the transaction of the extraordinary material of the "pituitary gland of an adult colorful lizard"; The third is that Mr. "Fool" asks the "sun" about their beliefs and sacrifices.

Could the reason for the cancellation be related to one of these three?

Thinking of this, Pierrot came to the same conclusion again -

If so, then the most likely one is the belief and sacrifice on the "sun" side.

Mr. "The Fool" must have learned something from her superficially simple questioning, and he needed to concentrate on the investigation, which led to the cancellation of last week's meeting.

】

Only in this way can the development of events be in line with the person of Mr. "Fool" to resurrect the old gods.

When he thinks of the "Tarot Society", when he thinks of Mr. "Fool", it is difficult for Pierrot not to think of the always optimistic and cheerful, even somewhat naïve Miss "Justice".

Pierrot felt that she was the complete opposite of herself.

As an initial member of the "Tarot Society", he also reaped a lot of benefits from the "Fool", and he still has a strong guard against her...... But this later young lady actually quickly accepted the existence of the "fool", and would greet good afternoon with a pleasant and pleasant voice at every party?

Is there a problem with her, or is there a problem with me?!

And the "temperance" lady, what is the matter with her? What happened to the meeting I took off, and why didn't she attend it again?

In Pierrot's increasingly chaotic mind, a crimson light burst out, engulfing him.

……

Beckland, Queens.

Audrey excused herself and went back to her bedroom.

She restrained her excitement, did not pace back and forth, and sat quietly on the bed, waiting for Mr. "Fool" to call.

Dad was busy communicating with other councillors about the upcoming proposals, and the Extraordinary Guards were no longer following me all the time, and thanks to the Goddess, my life was finally back to normal! Two weeks have passed, and Mr. "The Hanged Man" must have prepared the "pituitary gland of an adult colorful lizard...... I'm about to move up to Sequence 8! Audrey's eyes sparkled as she thought.

For her, this is more exciting and exciting than receiving a 20,000-pound bounty and a large plantation worth at least £8,000!

Finally, she saw a tidal wave of familiar, illusory crimson light flood out and engulf herself.
