Chapter Ninety-Nine: Pursuing New Goals in New Channels

Esther didn't sit in the air, but after the others didn't seem to have much to say, she also tentatively raised her hand and said something that had been drafted in her mind: "I want to acquire a relatively powerful and extraordinary weapon, preferably a short knife or dagger, a light convenience device that is easy to carry and conceal." ”

Mr. "The Hanged Man" was more positive: "I can help you keep an eye on it, but only if you can afford to pay the price." ”

Esther quickly estimated that she threw the gold pound directly to Klein: "Less than a thousand pounds, I will consider the specific effect before confirming the transaction, but how do I give you the money?" ”

As soon as Esther got on the gray fog, she confirmed that her "obsessive-compulsive bow tie" did not follow, which means that everyone was in a spirit state after being pulled up, and the body in reality was still in place, and there was no way to directly bring things to trade.

Miss "Justice" raised her hand very actively and turned to the "Fool" who was sitting in the first place: "Mr. 'Fool', can I explain to Miss 'Lover'?" ”

The "Fool" bowed his head and replied casually, "Of course." ”

With the help of this zealous member of the Tarot Society, Esther learned how to perform rituals of offering sacrifices to the "Fools" and asking for grants.

Esther thought it was amusement that the first ritual magic she learned was at the gathering of the Fool's secret being. Sure enough, the channels of the extraordinary are strange, and they can get more help than acting alone, and she can join this "tarot club" this time, maybe it will really bring greater help than she imagined.

"Thank you very much for your answer, Miss 'Justice', it has helped me a lot!" Esther's mood is a little high, which makes "Justice" feel good about it.

"You're welcome."

After that, no one proposed a deal again, and at the signal of the "fool", they entered the link of free exchange.

Everyone turned their eyes to Esther, making her subconsciously lean back and say very casually, "Hmm...... Recently, someone in Beckland is looking for someone who believes in Mr. 'Fool'. ”

The "Fool" moved his finger and tapped it on the armrest of the high-backed chair, and when he saw the rest of the Tarot members looking over, he nodded slightly: "The 'magician' has already reported this to me, don't pay attention to it." ”

The "Fool" spread his hands at Esther and motioned for her to continue, but Asther, who wanted to shut up like this, had to continue to speak: "If anyone is also in Beckland, be careful not to expose yourself." ”

After this, "The Hanged Man" shared several sea observations, which gave Esther a more concrete confirmation of the scope of his activities, and "Justice" talked about the progress of the preparation for the "Unified Examination for Government Employees Act", and also confirmed the living conditions of her aristocratic circle. "The magician" seems to have a habit of wandering while listening to people's conversations, she always seems to be thinking about something, and she feels like the type of mind that can't stop.

Not long after, the slightly reserved and young "Sun" talked about the fact that the "Council of Six" in his area no longer seemed to be watching or controlling him, and asked everyone what they should do.

Because Esther didn't know much about this matter, she just kept listening, and the "hanging man" gentleman, who looked quite old, suggested that the "sun" should not show anything unusual, and that he should do what he wanted, and accumulate merit normally to maintain the original law of activity.

Esther always felt that the environment in which the "Sun" was located was not Rune, and when she spoke of "Bakeland", his curious and lost attitude was subtle, and he spoke in a language that seemed to ...... It's the language of giants.

Esther's senses are subtle, and she can receive information about the two superimposed states of the "sun" at the same time.

Esther subconsciously glanced at the "Fool" hidden in the gray mist, and quickly withdrew her gaze, the others were obviously speaking Rune, including "Fool", but they had no barriers to communication, because the "Fool" had switched from it.

But even the legendary Fersak Empire, which has the blood of giants, doesn't use the language of giants, right?

Where does the "sun" come from? Esther was very curious, but because she was not familiar with the people present, she did not ask directly, and continued to listen to their conversation silently.

After the meeting, everyone said goodbye to the fool under the leadership of "justice", and Esther naturally and even sincerely said "Praise to Mr. 'Fool'", so that the "world" next to her glanced at her inexplicably, of course, Esther did not notice.

After sending everyone down to the gray mist, Crane sat down in the place belonging to the "Fool" and shook his head and sighed, and as soon as Esther opened her mouth, she revealed that she was in Beckland, which was not appropriate.

Although the impact is not great, Beckland is already an extraordinary person, and "Justice" and "Magician" are also here, but the fellow is not a little too casual, and always feels that she is easy to fall into danger like this.

I always feel that her personality has changed a little, is it because of the successive blows during this time......

Crane's fingers tapped on the armrest, and it didn't take long for him to leave the gray mist and return to the real world.

The majestic hall fell silent again, and only the endless gray mist surged.

The "ceiling lamp" hanging above the long table suddenly flickered, as if it had been dimmed by some consumption.

β€”β€”

When Xiao Wu regained consciousness in a daze, Esther was holding a blank notebook.

But she didn't write anything, just stared at the paper, and turned a pen in her hand, which, reinforced by the "thief's" two-handed control, ran back and forth between Esther's fingers as she turned out the ring.

"What are you thinking?"

"I wondered if there was a way to get some extraordinary material. I have a very urgent motivation right now to find ways to strengthen myself. My friend of mine took me to an extraordinary gathering, and that opened the door to a new world for me. ”

Esther feels that the way she speaks is becoming more and more "Riddler", perhaps because she has been dealing with Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu for too long, or because of the influence of the "thief" approach, she has learned to hide the truth through incomplete facts. Combining two things into one cannot be regarded as lying, but only partial honesty.

"When did you meet that friend?"

Esther smiled slightly, didn't say anything, but stopped turning the pen in her hand.

Xiao Wu chuckled: "Yes, do you know the potential value of using me?" ”

"Do you have any clue about the blood of deep-sea marlin, the properties of human skin, or the four-leaf clover? Someone is looking for these, and if I want to be gregarious, I would be able to close a few deals. ”

Xiao Wu was silent for a few seconds, the materials that Esther asked for did not seem to belong to a single potion formula at all, and it seemed that the way of the Extraordinary at that party was very scattered. And Esther deliberately reported a few scattered materials to cover up the only thing in her words that someone wanted.

"The material of four-leaf clover is basically extremely steep and deep mountains, and it is lucky enough to meet it, and deep-sea marlin can only go to the sea, but ......" Xiao Wu turned his upper body slightly, as if trying to recall, "I may really have clues about the human skin ghost, but it is not dangerous to hunt it." ”

"Then wait and see, someone promised to help me find a weapon, I'll wait for his follow-up."

"The party you're attending seems dangerous, otherwise you wouldn't have kept strengthening the seal on me, would you?"

There was a smile in Xiao Wu's voice, if it weren't for the fact that it was forcibly sealed, Esther might have felt a chill.

Fortunately, it was herself who was in complete control of the situation, and Esther also replied with a smile: "Yes, I can't help it, after all, even Xiao Qi can't be trusted now." ”

Xiao Wu was silent for a long time, seemingly surprised by Esther's reaction.

Esther's pen fell on the paper, and after turning it for too long, a cloud of black ink blurred on the white paper.

"Xiao Wu, where is the clue you are talking about?"

"In White Cliffs. The entrance is at the bend of the River Sterford, which flows through it. But are you sure you want to go? ”

Esther looked at the map of Rune in her mind, the distance of White Cliff was not far, and if you hired a carriage, you could get there in the afternoon, and then return to Beckland the next day.

"Of course you want to try, why do you ask?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "Didn't Xiao Qi say it?" It was a mausoleum belonging to the Amun family. ”

β€”β€”

On the outskirts of Beckland, a small church in the middle of nowhere.

A raven flew in from outside and landed on the shoulder of the man dressed as a priest.

"I brought the words to me."

"You're back."

The priest sat in the first row of the pews, bowed slightly, his eyes closed, and his hands were crossed in front of the cross on his chest, facing the cross at the very front of the church.

The crow smacked twice at the wounded part of its wings, and the bandages it had had already tied had already been removed by itself.

"I shouldn't have come back, but I 'think' I have to. How many psychological cues have you put on me? The silence in the church was swept away by the crow's chatter, and it turned its head impatiently back and forth, observing its surroundings with alertness, its paws scratching at the priest's shoulder.

"Maybe there is, maybe not." The dense beard obscured most of the priest's face, making him look more vicissitudes than he really looked, and his fingers moved slightly.

The crow no longer behaved so irritated and flew down on the empty seat next to the priest: "So what do you want me to come back for?" I'm not Amon, a crow who can't even exert the strength of Sequence Seven will be of no use to you. ”

"Of course you're Amon."

"I'm not. I am no longer His doppelganger, and my fate with Him has been torn apart by her into two branches, how can you say that? ”

The priest raised his eyes to reveal those eyes that were as clear as a newborn child: "Because you can't escape the past as 'Amun', even if it exists for a short time in the present, you will eventually return to the future. ”

The raven did not speak.

The priest's finger touched the broken olive branch ring next to the cross: "This is the same for Him. ”

"Zoya is not Esther."

"It depends on what Esther chooses in the end, and fate will find its own balance in the continuous construction and collapse, which is her instinct to return to perfection."

The black crow raised his head and looked up at the cross in front of the church: "This is also one of those knowledge that Father has given you?" He had a prophecy long ago? ”

The priest closed his eyes again and smiled gently: "Father will definitely return." ”

He didn't answer the raven's question.
