Chapter 179: The Clues Are Always There
"Thank you again for your help, Mr. 'Fool'." Banabe's heart was thrilled at the thought of something broken, and he had a ridiculous and reasonable guess.
It was an impossible and ridiculous hope, but in the presence of a true God, it was made possible by His great powerβBanabey confirmed the meaning of that "hope" at this time, and his spiritual intuition pointed the way, the way of life.
He seemed to have escaped the seal under the immortal old fellow.
But before returning to the real world, Banabe can't fully confirm this, he still doesn't dare to accept the possibility of freedom, and in front of the "fool", Banabe must also restrain his overly excited attitude.
Unlike Banabe, who was full of joy, the "Fool" was staring at the high-backed chair behind Banabe, looking at the symbol that was exactly like himself. He remembered that the note from earlier was clearly Esther's handwriting, and the note on the other side was the same as the one Esther had mailed......
Klein was a little distracted, but he quickly cleared his mind again, as the saying goes, "It's coming."
Anyway, one more person is one more channel for stable development. Since the honorific name was given by Esther, then this is also the member she wants to introduce? If it weren't for the strange curse I saw on him, I wouldn't have decided so quickly......
"The Fool" bowed: "Of course, 'The Fool' is just a code name, a code name centered on tarot cards. β
Banabe suddenly remembered the strange "thief", and he immediately came up with another guess, because Esther was a member of this meeting, he could only remember her?
Then when she first gave herself this honorific name, she guessed that the "Fool" had a way to help me, and she had long expected this day?
In fact, not at all.
Esther was just a fluke, maybe the "fool" was willing to help Banabe, but she never thought so far, and she was not a good strategist in the first place.
Banabe retracted his thoughts and subconsciously wanted to raise his head, but considering the identity of the other party, he just stared at the long table in front of the "fool": "Codename? Can I join this meeting as well? β
"We're just doing some simple trading and exchanging news. Do you want to join the meeting, it is up to you to ask yourself, do you want to join? β
Without even thinking about it, Banabe replied, "I want to join!" β
The "Fool" snapped his fingers, and a deck of tarot cards appeared in front of Banabe, which surprised Banabe again.
"I've ruled out tarot cards with code names, and you can draw your own one."
Banabe touched the bottom card, and he suddenly realized that his fate had changed completely the moment he pronounced his name.
Perhaps, a little earlier, from a specific point in time, the future became vague and chaotic.
With his fingers slightly raised, he flipped up the front of the tarot card, and a pompous smile hung on the corner of Banabe's mouth, matching the card with sharp horns and bat wings.
The "Fool" came in a leisurely voice: "Then, welcome to the Tarot Society, Mr. 'Demon'." β
ββ
And in this tarot meeting, still under the elegant guidance of the posture of "justice", everyone greeted each other, and Mr. "Demon" observed the characteristics and temperament of everyone.
Then I looked at the "lover" several times.
There was no way, she sat at the end of the table with "World", and she had a stark enough physical image to allow the "Demon" to recognize her physical features.
Esther saw Banabe pick her chin at her, knowing that he recognized herself.
That's a ......
It seems that he hasn't completely forgotten about me, which confirms my previous suspicions, and Klein has always remembered me because of his contact with the gray fog.
Esther tucked her hands in her knees and sat in an unorthodox position, pretending not to see the "demon's" provocative movements.
The addition of new members is just a small episode, the normal tarot meeting process is still going on, and the extra "blasphemy card" in front of the "fool" has attracted everyone's attention, but it has not yet reached the stage where questions can be asked at this time.
There are only three pages of Rosell's diary handed over by Justice today, and when she raised her hand, Banabe's head glanced at her visibly.
Esther always felt like he was glaring at herself, why? Because I didn't tell him about it? It's a cross-world secret, and if Mr. Fool knows it, Esther has no intention of talking nonsense.
The Fool flipped the first two pages casually, until the third page, when his sitting posture changed slightly.
Soon, the moderator of the meeting, who had finished reading, raised his head and looked at "Justice": "What do you want in exchange?" β
"Justice" seems to have thought of the reward he wants early on: "Dear Mr. 'Fool', is that extra card in your hand a 'blasphemy card'?" Which one? β
The Fool smiled and flipped the card face open, revealing a clear "Sequence Zero" on it: "Tyrant." β
Esther subconsciously looked at the "Hanged Man" and swept her gaze over the symbol in his high-backed chair.
And the shock in Banabe's heart is far greater than that of everyone present, no matter how much he dislikes Russell and Intis, he has always grown up in that country.
The wonderful story of Russell is a legend that every child born in Intis will know - even today, in some small towns in remote areas, older people are still more willing to call King Louis King Russell because it was a glorious time in their hearts.
And the "Blasphemy Card" is a special secret behind this legend, and only those organizations with sufficient specifications can learn about the strange things left by this emperor.
The "Fool" didn't even just collect the "Tyrant", he clearly had another card in his hand.
Banabe was a little dazed, he suspected that he had wandered overseas for so long that he had lost his keen sense of news, and he had no idea about the reputation of this secret organization.
And what Mr. "Demon" doesn't know is that the Tarot Society really doesn't have much fame.
Esther had a different idea, and she was a little curious about what Sequence Zero of the "Thief" was.
But soon, this idea was ruled out by herself, and with Amon here, the extraordinary person of this sequence was already great if he was still alive, and he was promoted again...... It's probably going to end up with monocles.
Esther thought to herself.
The "fool's" gaze swept over the "hermit", which made the "hermit" subconsciously tense his spirit:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', there is no new Russell Diary this time."
The "Fool" bowed his head: "It's your turn." β
For some reason, Esther always felt that the "Fool" was looking at the end of the table with an inquiring meaning, but she was not sure whether the "Fool" was looking at herself or the "world" next to her.
The "World" was the first to make a deal, asking the "Hanged Man" to help him create a "Sea Singer" trait, but this was only the beginning, and then the "World" began to sell the "Chaos Mentor", also known as the "Black Emperor" Sequence 5, as well as the extraordinary trait of the "Druid".
Everyone was silent, including Banabe, who even subconsciously touched his neck and found that he had just been promoted was enough to be on the trading table.
This pre-god meeting is a little too scary......
Banabe looked at the "world" sitting next to the "lover", and subconsciously pressed his hand on his chest, and the idea of smoking became stronger and stronger.
After that, "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" reached a deal for the psychedelic bell tree fruit, and the transaction amount of "two thousand gold pounds" allowed Banabe to obtain further information, not everyone here is Sequence Five, or like Esther, Sequence Four.
Esther also asked for help from the "hanged man", who promised to find an informant to help her make a false identity as a "young boy", and there was someone he knew in Pritzport who could pay fifty gold pounds directly to a third party.
However, when the Hermit mentions the blood of mythical creatures, Esther hears that the reward she can offer to the "world" includes a look at the "Wheel of Fortune" card.
The "World" proposes to meet the "Mystery Queen".
After that, the "magician" and "moon" each made a request for specific materials, and then entered the usual exchange session.
Justice's curiosity has always been strong, and her positive personality and ability to act prompted her to make up her mind to ask about the nature of the "Mentor of Chaos". Because she wants to buy the extraordinary items she has made, she has to think about how to explain it to her family first, after all, the "Black Emperor" route may involve the power of the royal family and the military.
At the same time as he raised his hand, the soft and cheerful voice of "Justice" sounded: "Can I know where the characteristics of that 'Chaos Mentor' come from?" If it involves secrets, you can leave it unanswered. β
"The World" chuckled hoarsely, still so eerie: "It comes from a curly-haired baboon." β
Why did this person suddenly make a pun on a cold joke, no, absolutely not laughing, this is in front of the "fool...... Esther's gaze wandered, and she looked away from the "world".
While an archaeological team was going crazy in the dragon worship village where Justice shared, Esther noticed that the "demon" was sitting in a straight position, instead of reclining lazily behind a high-backed chair.
However, compared to the "hermit" and the "hanged man", in the end, it was the "world" that gave a more detailed explanation of "justice":
"The custom of dragon worship is a great help in stabilizing the state of the mind dragon, and you can keep an eye on this aspect of things, and if there is a widespread change, it means that the mind dragon will create a similar tradition elsewhere."
He seemed to pause deliberately: "This involves a higher level of secrecy, be cautious if things change. β
Before Justice could thank the world for his explanation and reminder, the demon cleared his throat: "Ahem, this young lady, this kind of behavior is not only good for the dragon. In fact, high-level extraordinary people have to use corresponding means to stabilize their own state and fight against the madness brought about by the extraordinary power itself. β
The moment he heard the title of "eldest lady", "justice" still relied on the calmness of the "audience" to not let himself clench his fists.
She will have a pronoun in Tarot, not a frivolous nickname like "Miss", and the words "Demon" are really uncomfortable!
"Justice" gradually understands why the "lover" shows his dislike for the "demon", and it is very likely that the two know each other in reality, and Mr. "Demon" is really annoying when he talks.
However, what the "demon" said seemed to mean something else, and everyone heard what he meant, but the "demon" just closed his mouth, stopped a word from coming out, and put his hands on his chest very contentmently, enjoying everyone's questioning gaze.
Well, now everyone feels the annoyance of the "demon".
The corners of Esther's mouth twitched twice, but she didn't speak, because she herself didn't know much about the concept of "anchor".
