Chapter 222: "The Witch" Russell
Shields other members' senses from communicating alone.
Audrey restrained her impatience, first reported the contact actions suspected of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", and asked Mr. "Fool" for advice.
What else could Crane have to say?
If there must be, then his opinion is - you can do it.
Of course, as a "fool", his words always contain inexplicable power, and this almost shirkable answer fell into the heart of "justice" Audrey, but it made her feel more relaxed.
After thanking the "Fool", Audrey submitted the two pages of the "Russell Diary" obtained from the Kingdom Museum, and in return, saw the "Black Emperor" card, saw the portrait of Russell the Great in a black emperor costume, and saw a line of text condensed by starlight:
"Sequence 0: The Black Emperor!"
Audrey was thus shaken, and at the same time, her inner satisfaction was greatly satisfied, and her curiosity was aroused even stronger.
This prompted her to make up her mind and bring up another matter:
"Mr. Fool, I have one more thing I want to report."
Under the agitation and restlessness of "Fool" Crane's heart, but the light gaze on the surface, "Justice" Audrey spoke:
"I have a poker card that is said to be very special and extraordinary, a 'Queen' of Spades, and I thought it might be a 'blasphemy card' made by Russell the Great.
"After verifying the bookmark in the Kingdom Museum, I verified the playing card in the same way, and it reacted similarly.
"Mr. Fool, can you help break its seal? I really want to see it as it really is."
And she did bring it up...... Crane relied on his "clown ability to control himself, and replied in as calm a tone as possible:
"I can give it a try, but there's no guarantee that it will work."
"I'm sure you can!" Audrey happily replied, "When this gathering is over, I will sacrifice it to you at once."
"Fool," he nodded.
At this point, the separate exchange is over.
Crane used his mind to remove the gray fog from the senses of others, and continued to preside over the "Tarot Society" in which all members participated.
For Valeera, there was nothing new about the party.
As always, Mr. "Tower" doesn't have much involvement, and she doesn't want to do any additional development for the time being.
Therefore, among the rest of the party, it is worth mentioning only the events related to the disappearance of slaves in the Southern Continent, the mural of "Redeeming Rose", and the experienced "Hanged Man" Alger teaches the little "Sun" to avoid dangerous tasks by creating uncontrollable tendencies.
……
After announcing the end of the gathering, Crane severed the invisible connection and watched as the figures of several members of the party turned crimson back into a crimson glow and retreated back into the crimson stars in the gray mist.
He shook his slightly heavy head, reinvigorated himself, and remained above the gray mist, waiting for Miss Justice's sacrifice.
Fortunately, Miss "Justice" did what she said and didn't let him wait too long, so she sacrificed the "Ace of Spades" playing card.
By this time, Crane had already felt the sides of his temples begin to throb slightly.
Apparently, he had once again pushed himself to the point where his spirituality was close to drying up.
Thinking of the method of creating a tendency to lose control that the "Hanged Man" just described, he didn't look closely at the seemingly ordinary playing card, but directly wrapped himself with spirituality, simulated the feeling of falling, and returned to reality.
After almost two hours of sleep, Crane returned to the gray mist.
He picked up the "Ace of Spades" and looked through it, and found that it looked no different from ordinary playing cards, including the illustration in the center of the card, which was just the common portrait of the Queen of the Golden Crown on playing cards.
With experience in unlocking the "Black Emperor" card, Crane quickly began to guess and test the corresponding "Open Spell".
Because Russell hoped that a "destined person" would happen to break the seal, he directly gave up all kinds of famous sayings and hot stalks before the crossing this time, and directly tried the more likely "password":
"The taste of a witch!"
This is what he thinks is the most likely "password".
He pronounced it in Rune, Intis, Vrsak, Ancient Phossack, Hermes, and even the languages of the occult realms such as Ancient Hermes, Giants, Elves, and Dragons......
The result was no response.
"Transform!"
No change.
"Primordial!"
Obviously not.
"Bernardette!"
There have been no changes either.
Now Crane is in a bit of a difficult situation.
He tapped his fingers on the bronze tabletop, digging through his mind for possible "passwords".
After a few moments, Crane sat up suddenly, and thought of a possible answer—
"Cheek."
This is said to be the name of the "Original Witch", which he also reads from Russell's diary.
Before he had taken over as "World" to forgive Valilla's 10-page diary, she had actually submitted three pages, including one page mentioning "Chick", one of the other two pages being a forged scrap, and the other page mentioning only a certain lady.
This time, when he switched to Old Hermis and pronounced "Chick" again, the cards in his hand finally changed.
Stimulated by the right "opening spell", it creates an invisible vortex that frantically absorbs the spirit of Krynn.
Crane, who had had a similar experience, looked moved, surprise slowly emerged from his face, and the corners of his mouth on both sides also grinned, and pulled higher and higher, and finally froze into an exaggerated smile.
Another one!
The spirituality required to unseal the "blasphemy card" is a very great burden for ordinary people.
However, Crane is now the "magician" of Sequence 7, and he easily survived this level and made the card in his palm look new.
Little by little, the clear light rose and gradually dissipated.
By this time, Crane's exaggerated smile had retracted and turned into a sinister smile that implied some evil taste.
He lowered his head and looked at a very different board.
On the rose-red high-backed classical sofa, there is a beautiful woman with slightly curly chestnut hair.
With blue eyes, a high nose, thin lips, a long court dress with a dark purple tunics, a gold crown inlaid with many gems and pearls, and a serpentine scepter in her hand, she has a seductive and noble temperament, and her eyes are full of seductive charm.
In the upper left corner of the board, a brilliant starlight condenses a line of text:
"Sequence 0: The Witch!"
Is this Russell?
This is Russell!
Crane looked closely and tried to discern that, apart from the slightly curly chestnut hair, he could only vaguely find a trace similar to Russell between the eyebrows of the beauty in the painting.
This guy is too narcissistic, it's all so beautified that I almost didn't recognize it...... However, the beauty is still really beautiful, and just looking at the portrait can make people's hearts beat faster......
Bah!
Huang Russell Tao, you are too undisciplined!
