Chapter 142: Zoya's Whisper
After the separate communication between the "world" and the "hanged man", the rest of the people also completed part of the transaction request.
Since no one came up with anything more, Esther put aside her chaotic thoughts for the time being, looked in the direction of the "fool" and raised her hand:
"I have access to a material, but because the utility is unknown, I would like to ask if anyone knows about it, or if there is a need. May I ask Mr. 'Fool', can I give you a general picture of it? ”
"Of course."
After obtaining permission, Esther condensed a blank sheet of paper in front of her, on which she reproduced the general appearance of the bud and the basic information of the monster.
After the "Fool" clicked on the armrest, the paper appeared in front of everyone at the same time for them to see.
If it were usual, Esther might have sighed in her heart that this "one-click CC" method was convenient enough, but now her mind was full of Zoya's words, and she was in no mood to joke with herself.
As Esther thought, the sun was the first to put down the paper in her hand:
"I know of this kind of monster, it is recorded in the books of Silver City. It tends to be entrenched in swamps or wetlands, as it is free to roam in these areas, making it quite difficult to kill. But I don't know too much about the role of the material, sorry......"
Esther waved her hand: "It's okay, I just want to ask if everyone understands, it's okay." ”
The "Hermit" hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask his doubts: "Maybe you can try your own divination for its use?" ”
"For some reason my divination is not stable, but I will ask someone to help me with my divination, thanks for the advice." Esther replied.
The World looked up, but didn't say anything, and Esther didn't look in that direction.
Since no one spoke again, the "fool" tapped the edge of the long table and let everyone enter the free exchange.
"The Sun" shared the experience of the Silver City team when they explored the town of Afternoon, and "World" and "Hanged Man" showed concern about the matter of the "crazy captain" at sea and briefly exchanged views.
Esther had been waiting for Zoya to deliver new news, but nothing had happened.
When the world talks about the slave trade and the missing people of the Great Smog, Esther looks away from him and wonders about the involvement behind these events.
The purpose of their arrest of so many people, is this what Mr. "Fool" is pursuing?
When the "Hermit" mentioned the matter of the crazy adventurer Gelman Sparrow hunting the second mate of the "Immortal King", Esther immediately frowned and subconsciously looked at the "world" at the end of the table.
But soon she looked away again.
Damn, it's so tightly blocked that I can't tell if Klein is attending the meeting or not, and it seems rude to stare at people like this.
But after the "Hanged Man" suggested that the major organizations begin to investigate Gelman, the "World" actually answered:
"I don't know where I can get this commission? I want to use some unimportant information to get money, and I still know a certain amount about Gelman Sparrow. ”
Esther covered her mouth with her fist, looking like she was thinking about something, but only she knew she was laughing.
Today's "world" seems to be really Klein's attendance, otherwise others should not say this so confidently, and he should respect his own wishes.
If it weren't for Zoya's words, I might still be in a good mood today......
Just as Esther was thinking this, the voice she thought would never sound again came to her mind again:
"Do not trust any god or their favorite, not even a 'fool' ......"
The "Fool", who was sitting at the other end of the bronze table, suddenly raised his head, and the voice Esther heard came to an abrupt end.
This action attracted everyone's attention.
The "Fool" stretched out his hand, and the ball of light hanging above the long bronze table fell, meekly clinging to his palm.
The "Fool" looked around the long table, his eyes paused visibly on the "lover" for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "You go on." ”
"Justice" is more calm, she observes the reaction of the "lover", but from the change of the details of the action, "Justice" can find that the posture of this "lover" has become more restrained, and the arms in front of her subconsciously are full of self-defense.
The "hanging man" stared at the table, not daring to speculate whether the "fool" was dissatisfied with the "lover", but he was not sure of the reason, he did not notice anything unusual about the previous "lover".
The others either pretended to glance casually at the end of the table, or didn't quite understand what was going on, and simply let the conversation go back to what had just been exchanged, and the Sun continued to learn Old Hermes with the others.
It wasn't until the end of the tarot meeting that everyone saluted and said goodbye to the "fool" and was sent down to the gray mist.
The "Fool" still held the ball of light firmly in his hand: "What do you want to do?" I heard a little voice, you mentioned me. ”
The orb of light didn't change, it was as quiet as a dead thing, but Crane knew he was avoiding the question.
He raised the ball of light in front of his eyes, his eyes calm: "Zoya, what are you talking to your 'lover'?" ”
The ball of light trembled slightly for a moment, and a buzzing sound escaped from it, and after a few seconds of such a state, the voice that was similar to Esther's but more immature came out:
"It's a warning."
After this response, the light in the transparent case quickly dimmed, as if the firewood had been burned out and almost turned a faint gray.
From both visual and spiritual probing, Crane could feel the weakness of the ball of light, this was not a disguise, Zoya's forced communication with Esther seemed to consume a lot of accumulated energy.
Crane didn't let go of the ball of light, he knew that as long as he was promoted to Sequence Four and could step on that part of the ladder, he would be able to initially control the body belonging to Zoya in his hand.
Judging from the trajectory of the lark's attempt to escape in reality, if in real contact, Zoya would not be able to refuse the questions he asked directly, and would follow certain rules to answer them directly.
Is it because of the absolute control of the "Lord of the Spirit Realm"?
If that's the case, then He's been guiding and even helping Esther so that she can always be promoted before I do, so that she can counter the influence I can make?
After all, Zoya's path is "fate", which is the ability to easily give Esther good luck and even give Esther direction.
"Warning ......"
Crane sighed heavily, his heart sinking like iron.
——
Esther returned to the real world, straightened up from the couch, and after a moment's pause, then nested back into a more comfortable position.
Her body relaxed, but her mind began to spin rapidly.
With a few names in her mind, Esther's fingers unconsciously circled the couch.
"Fool", Darzyberg, Huls, Goddess of the Night, Amun, Halls.
Activating the ability of the "Decryptor Scholar", Esther constructs a divergent map in her mind, connecting the dots of what is known.
In the middle is Zoya's name.
Darriberg was Amun's deceased father, and Zoya met Darriberg through the trade of the Goddess of the Night, and has been with him since the Second Age.
Ulorius and Zoya were partners, and Medici seemed to think that Zoya was still with Elolius, and that he had indeed kept the lark's shell all along. Huls was not Darzyberg, but there was another name, and Zoya knew Chernobog at the time.
Why are there so many relationships, I don't know what this means at all, it seems that only Zoya would call them that......
Amon doesn't seem to have this kind of treatment at all, why?
Esther's whirling fingers stopped suddenly, and she opened her eyes in disbelief.
The first deity to receive a special title is "Dariberg", and according to the same particularity, the people behind it should all be characters closely related to Dariborg.
Esther gradually gathered her divergent thoughts, and slashed the locked name towards Chernoberg and Halls, and then to the candidates within the safe zone.
Between the "Fool" and the "Goddess of the Night", Esther chooses the latter to ask for information. Because the Goddess of the Night knew Darriberg, she may have heard of these names, and the "Fool" ......
Esther didn't know what else she could give, so she had to wait until she went to the island of Auvera and Byam to continue collecting Russell's diary.
The "Fool" had said that he was willing to give him refuge in the dream, and Esther had not repaid him much, although it was only a promise, but the promise of the gods itself was a favor.
Thinking of this, Esther let out a long breath and made the decision to use the Night Emblem again.
But before that, she planned to find out the function of the bud first, and it happened that there was a person who knew divination by her side, so she didn't have to use it in vain.
Esther got up and walked out of the room, leaving her cloak and satchel inside the door, only to carry a few silver coins in her arms.
She knocked on the door next door and waited two minutes for no answer.
Strange, Vika aren't they in the room? Esther immediately went downstairs, and when she passed by the bar, she was very surprised to see the two of them gathered at the card table, not knowing what they were watching.
There were not only Vika and Matteo, but there were seven or eight people around, everyone was curious about something, even the tall lady whom Esther had seen at the front desk yesterday, and the atmosphere in the tavern was quite eager.
Esther immediately walked over, and Vika, noticing her approaching, quickly stepped back from the sidelines, and the other person hurried to the vacancy.
"What are you looking at?" Esther's curiosity was also piqued.
While gesturing with his hand, Vika raised the corners of his mouth and showed a gloating smile: "Those two opened a game of cards on the table, bet against each other!" But someone is about to lose his pants and refuses to give up, hahaha! ”
"So you're all here to watch the fun?"
"It's been a wonderful process! That unlucky guy won three times in a row at first, and then the guy on the other side suddenly turned the tables and didn't lose a single again! ”
Esther also tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You guys watched here all afternoon?" Did you ask Mattio to make up for the occult knowledge? ”
Vika laughed wryly, "Do you want to come and see it too?" I wonder if he's going to really lose his pants......"
