Chapter 119: A New Week
The next few days were fairly peaceful, and Esther saw another newspaper report that the Aurora Stronghold had been swept away, and quickly put it behind her. She didn't visit Klein again for the past two days, and in order to avoid the attention of the official extraordinary, she didn't go to the East End again, and naturally she didn't see the small bounty hunter lady again.
Esther wasn't too worried, because the other party would always forget about her.
Speaking of which, it seems that everyone's reaction at the tarot meeting is very normal, and they can remember me very clearly, because of the relationship between the "fools"?
Esther could only guess.
Before waiting for the tarot meeting to be held in the new week, she leisurely used her performances to earn tips and mix up a mouthful of food money for herself. Esther decided to ask for clues about "Zoya" at this tarot meeting, or to ask about the "White Serpent".
At more than 2:50, the sleeping Xiao Wu was placed on the desk, leaving Xiao Qi to probe his brain outside, Esther went into the bathroom, cut off the protection of the outside world with a light cloth, sat on the chair she had just moved in, and waited quietly for three o'clock.
The familiar gentle light hung down from her eyes, enveloping Esther completely, and by the time her vision regained clarity, she was already at the long bronze table of the majestic hall.
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool' ~ Good afternoon, Mr. 'Hanged Man' ~ Good afternoon......"
Oh, Miss "Justice" is in a particularly good mood today, and she is no longer in her usual calm attitude. Esther listened to the light greeting of "Justice", and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a little, and she responded happily, and greeted Mr. "Fool" with the others.
However, she kept her right hand tightly behind her back, not daring to show it, and she found that her hand was wrapped around capillary-like black silk, although the traces were faint, but a closer look could still be found.
After sitting down again, Miss Justice immediately reined in her emotions and entered a state of attentive observation, which Esther could feel, corresponding to the "visionary" symbol behind "Justice", and Asther seemed to have guessed the sequence of this noble lady.
I don't know if she's made it to Sequence 7, and I'd love to make an appointment with a "psychiatrist...... No, no, this sequence level may be a bit low, and Miss "Justice" must not be allowed to take the risk of getting out of control, at least until she reaches the fifth or higher before considering it.
But today, the hanged man should be able to tell me whether the craftsman will accept the commission, and I hope the other party will. Esther thought about it, not caring that Miss Justice was also quietly observing her mood changes.
This time, "Justice" handed in three more pages of Russell's diary, and Esther had a bit of a headache, she had turned in two pages of the diary she had seen during her night watch last time, but if she wanted to find a new diary, she could only do so through the extraordinary rally that Klein had taken her in, and the number of people involved in the rally was sometimes too many, and the meeting time was not fixed, so she didn't know when the next time would have to wait.
Esther suddenly came up with an idea:
By the way, why don't you just ask Miss Hugh for help? She happens to be a bounty hunter, and her network must be wide!
When Esther heard that others, led by "Justice", offered to pay for the blessing, Esther also actively echoed the two sentences.
Although her situation is more peculiar, just believing in the "fool" has allowed her to obtain certain inhuman benefits, and to suppress the existence that lurks in her consciousness.
But loyalty is needed.
Only the "world" has remained silent from beginning to end.
——
When the Fool's reading time was over, he smiled and said to the crowd, "You can begin." ”
Mr. "The Hanged Man" was very active, and looked at Esther at the end of the table first: "The craftsman has agreed to help you make that design, and for the sake of the novelty of the weapon's design, he is willing to charge you only six hundred gold pounds for the cost of work, and I will charge an additional one hundred pounds for the brokerage, so can you accept it?" ”
Esther counted the total amount of her current wealth in her heart, and nodded reassuringly: "No problem, I need to raise gold pounds for sacrifice in the evening." ”
"Yes, what about the extraordinary characteristics of 'werewolves'?"
The "World" raised his hand: "I have already sacrificed to Mr. 'Fool', you can always ask Mr. 'Fool' for his giving." ”
The "Hanged Man" and Esther turned to the "Fool" in the first seat at the same time, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. 'Fool'!" ”
The "Fool" smiled and looked relaxed, and it was clear that he didn't care about these little things.
The "Hanged Man" then looked back at the "world": "There is also news of the deep sea naga hair you need, one hundred pounds a piece, and the number you want is five." If you don't have any doubts, I'll close the deal as soon as possible. ”
"World" did not hesitate, and nodded coldly: "No problem, after the Tarot meeting is over, I will sacrifice five hundred gold pounds to Mr. 'Fool'." ”
After this, "Justice" also raised her hand and directly stated her trading needs, asking for "a pair of mirror dragon eyes", "fifty milliliters of mirror dragon blood", and "the fruit of the elder tree".
I don't know why, as soon as I associate "dragon" and "eye", Esther feels a little uncomfortable.
Several people said that they would pay attention to the corresponding materials for Miss "Justice", so it seemed that she was preparing for the promotion, and Esther's eyes swept over "Justice" and glanced at the "magician" next to her.
Speaking of which, the "magician" had just emphasized that she would write to her teacher to ask if the man who was with her in the cemetery that day was from the Abrahamic family.
"The world" is rarely able to speak: "Your answer fills me with hope, but you also need to be careful to protect yourselves and do so in a way that is as unsuspicious as possible." ”
"Mr. 'World', you seldom say so much." "Justice," he said with a light smile.
"World" chuckled in a low voice, "You've become valuable enough, and I hope that similar transactions will last for a long, long time, so I'm just reminding you." ”
Esther suddenly wanted to laugh a little, she raised her left hand to cover her mouth, amused by the prevarication of the "world", with the "swindler's" keen instinct for lies, Esther could feel that the words of "the world" were the real sincerity.
Maybe the other party is really a cold character on the outside and hot on the inside, and the last time the "Amon family" happened too, he specially warned me after understanding the meaning of "fool".
When "Justice" thanked the "world" elegantly, his eyes inadvertently swept over the "lover" next to him, taking her reaction into his eyes and thinking thoughtfully.
Immediately afterwards, the "Hanged Man" asks "Justice" about the assassination of Duke Negan, and "Justice" mentions that the "Rogue Black Emperor" appeared at the death scene of the "Apostle of Desire", and the real target of his investigation is the organization behind the "Apostle of Desire".
The "fool" suddenly spoke: "In the outside world, don't mention the name of that organization, and don't write it down." ”
"Justice" was obviously stunned for a moment: "Why? ”
The answer given by the "Fool" sent chills down Esther's back:
"Whoever speaks, he will be known."
She had heard this sentence before, and when she asked Xiao Qi who she had gone to meet, Xiao Qi told her that the other party had such characteristics! Could it be that the "he" that Xiao Qi went to see belongs to this organization?
Esther didn't expect her expression to be able to hide from the "fool", probably even "justice" would notice the nervous reaction of her leaning forward, but the others were still in the understanding and shock of this sentence, and remained silent for a while.
Soon, the "magician" looked around and threw out the next question to change the subject: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a solution to the problem of the accumulation of too many extraordinary characteristics of the same level?" ”
Then the "Hanged Man" gives the suggestion of "having a child to eliminate the trait", Esther's face wrinkles uncontrollably, and the "Magician" finally laughs reluctantly, choosing to digest the excess traits by playing it himself.
It turns out that the "playing method" in the Tarot Club is not a secret, this is the promotion process of ordinary extraordinary people, so Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu always hope that I can practice the action of "thief", in order to get closer to the essence of potions, so that I can better use the power corresponding to the habit?
As Esther pondered, Sun shifted her seat, like a student uneasy about speaking, "I've been given another quest to explore." ”
"Where to explore?" The "hanged man" asked.
"Or the temple of the half-ruined fallen Creator."
Esther stared curiously at the "sun", she had never heard of any temples in the northern continent that belonged to the true creator, and sure enough, the place where the "sun" was located was extremely far away.
The "Hanged Man" asked again: "Is the 'Shepherd' Elder still in the dungeon?" ”
"Yes, this expedition is led by the 'Chief'."
Next, the "Hanged Man" analyzed the meaning of this mission for the "Sun", and after hearing "the message you sent out before is that Amon and the fallen Creator are mortal enemies", she couldn't help frowning slightly, and when she heard the end, Esther knew that the "Sun" had been parasitized by Amon's doppelganger.
Esther couldn't help but raise her left hand and interject a sentence slightly: "Regarding the truth, the fallen Creator, Amon is indeed in a hostile position with him, including the Angel King 'Tail Eater' under the Creator. ”
Esther couldn't help but recall the silver-haired young man she had dreamed of, adding, "He probably has the power of 'circulation', you have to be careful of this imperceptible trap." ”
"Sun" nodded earnestly: "Thank you for the reminder, Miss 'Lover'!" ”
"Thank you, Mr. 'Hanged Man', what else do I need to pay attention to?"
The "fool", who had been quietly watching, moved his lips lightly and spat out two words: "Flesh and blood, babbling." ”
Then he reverted to silence, and finally the "Hanged Man" did his best to interpret Mr. Fool's words for "Sun" and gave a clearer warning.
Esther couldn't help but look away when she saw the "Hanged Man" doing reading comprehension so wholeheartedly, she was amused and sighed in her heart, this can be called some kind of "divine style".
After the issue of the little "sun" came to an end, the "Hanged Man" once again asked "Justice", who was in the noble class of Beckland, about the political situation changes after the assassination of Duke Negan.
Esther listened to the detailed explanation of "justice", and smelled a little undercurrent from these disputes in the House of Lords.
Today's tarot meeting soon came to an end, and after thanking Mr. "Fool" under the leadership of "justice", everyone was sent away from this magnificent temple of gray fog, allowing it to restore its thousand-year-old tranquility.
The Fool tapped the armrest, lost in thought.
The fellow's right hand seems to be stained with a curse, and it actually erodes her star spirit body? But she didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, and she didn't know what was going on, and she took risks again?
Klein glanced at the ball of light floating above his head.
The other Tarot members may not have noticed, but he had been observing it very clearly as he had climbed the gray fog frequently, and the light inside had dimmed a little.
