"First of all, Miss Justice prepares an altar, which can be relatively simple, but needs to be drawn or engraved with this symbol."

Between the words, a curtain of light appeared in front of the fool, on which flashed a symbol composed of "pupilless eyes" and "twisted lines", the former representing secrecy and the latter symbolizing change, but both were missing a part.

Is this the power that represents Him, and His authority is in the midst of both, but incomplete?

Angel guessed as she tried to jot down the symbol.

"Then, as with the normal ritual, but with a dualistic arrangement, without burning herbs, dripping essential oils, or picking a specific time, just chanting my name."

Recite in the ancient Hermetic language, with the following prayer:

"Your faithful servant prays for your gaze;

"Pray that you will accept his contributions;

"Pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom."

"After the prayer is recited, choose the materials that contain spirituality, combine them with the natural force shocks caused by the mantra, and wait for my response."

"If the ritual is successful, you can perform the 'sacrifice'."

As the Fool's deep narration ended, the symbols that appeared before Him disappeared.

"Okay, I've got that in mind, so when should I try it?"

Justice asked with a hint of excitement.

Her curiosity about this new occult knowledge was palpable......

Angel scolded his companion beside him, but he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

If the "sacrifice" can be successful, will he soon be able to obtain the materials for the "witch" potion?

"You can start the meeting as soon as it's over, well, so you both don't need to spare any extra time."

"Miss Queen, the process of receiving the 'gift' is slightly different, and the preparation before reciting the prayer is the same as that of Miss Justice, but the prayer needs to be changed to the following three sentences."

The fool turned his gaze to Angel again and admonished.

"Thy faithful servant prays for thy gaze;

"Open the gates of the kingdom;

"Pray for your strength."

Angel noted the differences, then nodded in response, "I see." ”

Seeing that the fool's teaching was over, the upside-down hanged man lost no time in asking a question:

"Mr. Fool, may I ask the others, I mean the other people in the Tarot Society, can they also use this method to trade?"

"The premise is that this attempt will be successful."

The fool replied with a smile, which was an answer to the question of the hanged man.

"Praise be to the fools."

The hanged man who received the answer reverently said, and the others followed suit with a word of praise as an end to the topic.

And the new topic naturally became the "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane" that everyone had hotly discussed at the previous meeting.

"Mr. Hanged Man, the two detectives I commissioned have traced his whereabouts through a profile of 'Lieutenant General Hurricane' Ziringers, as well as information about the missing homeless man."

"But?"

Listening to Miss Justice's tone, there was no excitement about a major breakthrough, and the hanged man calmly picked up.

Sure enough, Justice's next answer took a turn.

"However, the cunning Ziringers discovered that someone was following him and brutally killed the detective's informant, lying in ambush and almost catching the detective who went to the informant's house."

"The two detectives escaped death, but they thought that this encounter had alarmed each other, and it was no longer possible to continue tracking in the previous way, and the informant's death was terrifying, which would inevitably alarm the police and the official Beckland Extraordinary, so they gave up the follow-up and called the police."

Alerted the police......

Angel listened to the exchange between the two, and when he heard this word, he couldn't help but praise the detectives' decisive behavior.

And listening to Miss Justice's words, these two detectives are both women?

"I can understand their choice, I said that this 'Lieutenant General of the Hurricane' is a cunning, ferocious pirate, and it is rare to escape from his hands."

The hanged man replied with a little regret.

He then turned to seriousness, and looked at the fool at the top of his head:

"Mr. Fool, I have obtained a new piece of information, the 'Hurricane Lieutenant General' infiltrated Beckland to complete a difficult mission, which involves a very important item that is said to help Ziringus become a high-order powerhouse as soon as possible."

"High sequence, do you mean sequence 4? But I remember you said that this 'Lieutenant General' is only a Sequence 6 extraordinaire at the moment? ”

Angel couldn't help but interject.

"That's right, he's really just the 'Wind Bearer' in Sequence 6."

The hanged man turned his gaze to Angel and nodded in confirmation.

"The information I received mentioned that Zilingers thought that once he completed the mission and obtained that item, he would be able to become as famous as the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast and others, and make the 'Four Kings' of the pirates become the 'Five Kings'."

"You should all know that the so-called 'Four Kings' either possess extraordinary ships and magical items that allow them to compete with the High Sequence, or they are themselves strong in the High Sequence. Since Ziringus claimed to be one of the 'Five Kings', he must be close to the level of the other Four Kings, so I made the above speculation. ”

No, I don't know...... I had just learned who Nast was from the books of the Church......

Angel listened quietly, pondering the words and asked:

"So, it's an item that allows him to quickly improve the sequence without losing control, or is it a magical item that can compete with a high-level powerhouse in itself?"

"That's right, but I think the latter is more likely, after all, there are no shortcuts to the improvement of the sequence."

After laying the groundwork, the hanged man turned his gaze to the fool again, and asked in a tone full of anticipation:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I will be back to Beckland in the next few days, and if I can find out the true purpose of Ziringus, and what the magical item he wants to obtain, please allow me to recite your name and tell you through the ritual."

No wonder Mr. Hanged Man went to great lengths to exaggerate the power of the magical object that Chillingus had targeted, in order to arouse Mr. Fool's interest and try to convince him...... No, let His Favorites do it?

If the Fool's high-level dependents can make a move, it should be easy to deal with the extraordinary person like "Lieutenant General Hurricane" who has not yet entered the high-level sequence, right?

Angel also looked at the Fool.

"Yes."

The fool replied briefly, unable to hear the emotion in his tone, as if he had no interest in such "trifles".

The hanged man seemed a little discouraged, but he still stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Allow me to thank you in advance for listening."

——————

The grey fog cleared, the crimson reappeared and disappeared, and Angel returned to Tingen, to Daffodilsstraße 6.

The first thing she did when she came back to her senses was to write down the bearer account that Miss Justice had given her before the meeting ended, so that she wouldn't forget it.

If the fool's "attempt" is really successful, she can deposit 350 pounds into this bank account and complete the transaction.

It's really like online shopping in the information age...... No, it's more convenient than that, and the goods don't even need to go through logistics to get to me through Mr. Fool's transit......

Looking at the sun setting in the west outside the window, she did not waste time, but went directly from the study to the basement, laid out the table that had been used for sacrifice, and drew the symbols of the combination of the "pupilless eye" and the "twisted thread" representing the fool on the table with the memory that had not yet disappeared, and used it as an altar.

Then she laid out the sandalwood candle and the ritual knife, ready to carry out the ritual of receiving the "gift".

Finally, there are spiritually rich items......

She rummaged around the basement, but most of the materials had already been used to make bullets, and she had been too busy finding the "Red Chimney" building to cope with the scrutiny lately, and had not been able to replenish the materials.

In the end, she was only able to pull out a small precious "Star Crystal", which was an extraordinary material that could be used directly to prepare potions, strictly speaking, higher than ordinary materials rich in spirits, and the price was far worse, but compared to delaying Mr. Fool's attempt, this difference was nothing.

Holding this extraordinary material the size of a fingernail and sparkling with starlight, Angel's mind refreshed memories of the first time he met old Neil.

As she watched the starlight emanating from the crystal, a thick gray mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and in the mist, a high-backed chair and a mysterious figure loomed on it.

"Miss Queen, Miss Justice's attempt has been successful, are you ready to receive the ritual of 'bestowing'?"

Low, familiar voices came from all directions, making it difficult to tell the way.

"Yes, I can perform the ritual at any time."

She reined in her sadness and replied.

Build a spiritual wall, light candles, and in the faint light, Angel whispers the prayer of the Fool's professor.

“…… Pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom;

"Pray for your strength."

The ancient power of the ancient Hermes reverberated within the spiritual walls, stirring up the vibrating forces of nature like a gale wind blowing through Angel's side.

She endured the discomfort of the wind blowing through her skin, raised the star crystal in her hand, and poured her spirit into it.

The crystals shattered into particles as if weathered, disappearing between the fingers, making the hurricane more and more violent, but no longer as unbearable as a knife.

The candle representing the Fool gradually expanded, creating an illusory door in front of Angel, and the door was inscribed with the symbol of the Fool's power drawn in advance on the altar.

"Boom—"

A thunderous sound was heard, the door in the air opened and closed, Angel's gaze shifted, and a bottle of liquid as black as ink appeared on the altar.

It was the "blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish".
