"Gelman Sparrow?"

"Nornes?"

Esther and Klein were both a little confused at the same time, obviously two people who knew each other well, but they invariably said each other's pseudonyms in an attempt to identify each other.

However, this simple request for a name did not lower the vigilance of both parties, but only made the lark more nervous.

Crane noticed the sharp hostility in the lark's eyes, and quickly circled through his mind: "We say one thing to each other to prove ourselves true. ”

Of course, Esther would not refuse this offer, she only hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Tonight, Gelman joins the hunt?" ”

Klein could confirm that it was Esther.

But he also really wanted to go back and withdraw the previous proposal, and Esther said that it was not good to say this! Let Klein feel like he has been exposed to the history of the second black.

So Klein adhered to the careful thought of "courtesy" and replied: "Four large spoonfuls of butter, half a cup of cocoa powder, two eggs, half a cup of sugar, two-thirds of a cup of flour, and half a bowl of whipped cream......"

Esther immediately let out a wail: "Don't read it, don't read it! I know! Don't read it out again! I knew I shouldn't have left this kind of thing behind one day! ”

It was a recipe that she had carved on her tombstone in Tingen, and now it was read to her face, and Esther, who was listening, felt nothing but unspeakable shame.

And why does Klein remember it so clearly!?

Esther was embarrassed on the outside, and she was wailing and screaming inwardly.

The lark fluttered its wings and landed on top of Crane's head, bouncing around on his top hat.

Klein kept his mouth shut, not minding Esther's angry behavior, a smile flashing in his eyes.

She seems to be normal on the surface, not in a state of being suppressed by "Zoya". So during this time, Esther has been trapped in dreams, shuttling between different dreams when she is asleep?

——

When Bernadette deliberately restrained her sense of presence and quietly pushed the door open, she saw such a scene.

The lark jumped up and down above the cold-faced Gelman Sparrow's head, its slender claws constantly stepping on the half-height silk top hat, not even leaving many traces.

And the mad adventurer was expressionless, just cast his gaze to the door and meet Bernadette.

The lark immediately stopped his movements, and bluntly revealed the identity of the visitor: "'Mysterious Queen' Lady Bernadette Gustav, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”

Bernadette didn't care about the Skylark's careful thinking about sharing information with Gelman, and walked to the long table and gestured to the two of them—or rather, to Gelman to invite them to take a seat, after all, the Skylark was already crouching on his top hat.

Crane didn't speak, but took off his hat and took the opportunity to drive Esther down before pulling out a chair and sitting down across from Bernadette.

The lark flapped its wings dissatisfied, squatted down at the place where the two of them were on their sides, and lay on their stomachs in a very unfigurative manner: "Lady Bernadette, may I ask if there is no danger in this dream?" ”

Bernadette slightly hooked the corners of her mouth: "Yes, you can rest for a while." ”

"Thank you......" Esther sighed heavily.

She didn't even know how long she had spent in those chaotic dreams, which were different from the outside world, and Esther had lost her keen sense of time in the outside world after staying in them for too long.

Bernadette's gaze turned to the crazy adventurer opposite: "We meet again." ”

Esther raised her eyelids to peek, and Klein's cold expression didn't change at all: "We haven't met before. ”

"Really? Mr. 'Black Emperor'......"

The lark's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at Bernadette and then at Klein.

Esther felt that she shouldn't be here, that she should stay in those bizarre and crazy dreams and continue to watch the other creatures, otherwise she wouldn't be affected by such a mental shock.

What was Bernadette talking about just now? Who is the "Black Emperor"?

Klein! Your so-called "Black Emperor" teacher, Mr. "World", is it possible that you are yourself?

The lark stood up again, her eyes wide in disbelief and accusation—Esther desperately needed a positive answer from Klein now.

If it weren't for the facial adjustment ability of "Joker" and "Faceling", it would be difficult for Klein's expression to be so indifferent now, and he was directly revealed by Russell's eldest daughter, and was directly heard by Ester......

Klein at least maintained a calm appearance and did not reveal the turmoil in his heart: "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Bernadette looked at the lark's surprised expression, but said to Gelman: "Gelman Sparrow, including Hamel Brooke, I provided both identities. ”

A smile tugged at Gelman's grim countenance, but it quickly disappeared, and he was suddenly a little glad that Esther had mentioned to him in a letter earlier, "There are many people who provide identities."

But the "lovers" told the "fools" about the deal.

At that time, Klein had not yet connected this person with the "Lady Pea Vine" he had met, but he had mentally drafted it so that he could be prepared for a similar situation.

So after being frightened by the identity of the "Black Emperor" just now, Klein quickly sorted out his mood and responded, especially after seeing the "Russell Notes 3", he quickly took the Tarot Club as another entry point:

"I can't admit it or deny it, it's out of self-protection for 'us', and I hope you can understand our struggle."

It sounded to Esther and Bernadell in completely different meanings.

Klein expressed it cleverly and cryptically enough, in Esther's opinion, this is referring to the "Black Emperor" and Klein as a teacher, and it is impossible and unnecessary to tell Bernadette.

In Bernadette's view, this is the Tarot's return to the members themselves, and being verified by outsiders as the "fool's" dependents will only bring trouble to the "Black Emperor", so the other party will not be willing to admit this, but it also confirms that Bernadette's speculation is true.

"I see," Bernadette's gaze finally shifted from the lark and landed on Gelman's face at the accentuated pronouns, "You found out through his diary that the bookmark was the 'Black Emperor' card?" ”

Esther's eyes, which had just begun to regain her composure, were stunned again, and she looked at Klein and opened her mouth, but she never made a sound to disturb the conversation between the two, but the lark shrank back again, expressing her resistance with body language.

While worrying in his heart, Klein shook his head indifferently, and threw out the "dumping route" that he had thought about a long time ago: "It's that one." ”

He didn't say who it was, but he knew that Bernadette would definitely be able to make the corresponding association, and if it weren't for the fact that the "fool" was himself, Klein wouldn't dare to talk about it to the gods.

Seeing that Bernadette didn't ask any questions in the first place, Klein decided to catch the topic to himself: "You are the mysterious person who spied on me on the 'Future'?" ”

Esther stepped back again, it was hard for her to completely hide her guilt, but now Crane's attention was not on the lark, which left Esther's small movements unnoticed.

In the conversation that followed, Klein's temptation yielded little useful information, and Bernadette freely admitted to his inquiry, even vaguely revealing another meaning—she saw something special about Gelman.

"You were the one who made me and Hamel appear in the Black Sage' dream?" Klein asked the question, trying to seize the initiative in the conversation.

For the first time in the conversation, Bernadette hesitated a little because of thought: "In fact, you are the only one I want to pull into my dreams. Hamel's situation was an accident, and she still hasn't woken up, and I find it strange. ”

Esther, who was mentioned as a pseudonym, suddenly raised her head: "Did you do something?" ”

"The 'fate' path can partially control dreams, and I have the means, you should be able to think of that." Bernadette replied lightly.

Klein and Esther had the same thing on their minds - the "Wheel of Fortune" card!

Bernadette went on to explain: "I'm not targeting you, I'm just trying to identify the person who took the Cavitova relic. Hamel was involved by accident, but with her control over the dream, she should have woken up at any time. ”

Esther flicked her wings twice in annoyance, shook her head and said nothing.

Noticing her frustration, Klein decided to wait until she was done with Bernadette and then communicate with Esther alone, so he put it bluntly:

"What the hell are you looking for me, Madam Gustav?"

Bernadette proposed to learn Chinese, but of course Klein refused, and he did not hesitate to push "that one".

This time Esther also heard who he was referring to, and when she thought that Crane didn't know when, she had already crossed paths with the "Fool", and Esther felt the urge to jump on his head and talk about him.

But think about it, after all, Mr. "World" is Klein's teacher......

Esther sighed.

After reminding her that "your destiny lies on the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains," Bernadette stood up from the table and told Gelman across the street that she could give a clue to help or the "blasphemy card", with the simple request of teaching her the language that Russell Gustav used to write his diary.

Esther realizes that this proposal is not just for "Gelman Sparrow", but an invitation to the "fools" behind the "world".

Bernadette also gave the lark one last look: "Of course, the deal between us is still counting. ”

"Unfortunately I don't have any clues, Lady Gustav, maybe only fate can give us the answer."

Bernadette gave a polite and gentle chuckle, then turned and walked deeper into the library.

The dream of the library suddenly dissipated, and Esther subconsciously flew up and landed on Crane's shoulder.

Soon the surrounding scene became clear from the chaos, and Crane was already standing in the hall with the frescoes.

Anderson looked at him in shock:

"Where did you come from? So you don't walk the birds on the boat, do you come to walk in your dreams? ”

The lark pointed at Anderson on the other side with the tip of his wings: "I told you, this man is very underwhelming." ”
