Chapter 29: Will Tarot Level Up Again?
It seems that there are many benefits to keeping the "witch" and "red priest" cards with him temporarily...... I am afraid that this knowledge is rarely circulated within the Orthodox Church, let alone among the wild extraordinary......
Angel breathed a sigh of relief, taking the contents of the parchment to heart, watching it disappear as if it had never existed.
"Go ahead."
The figure of the fool shrouded in gray mist slowly leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and commanded.
"Justice" Audrey was still immersed in the shock of "Miss Queen has obtained two blasphemy cards" and "knowledge that cannot be used for the time being", and was about to speak, but was preempted by the "upside-down hangman" sitting opposite:
"I ask to speak alone with Miss Queen."
Audrey's eyes suddenly went dark.
Oh, it turned out to be shielded from the senses...... She opened her mouth silently, feeling the pain of the ignorance of the other members when she had just checked the "blasphemy card".
Seeing the "fool" signal, the "hanged man" Alger suppressed the curiosity that was also churning in his heart, and said to Angel:
"I've found out about 'Mad Captain' Connors Victor."
This was a pact made a few weeks ago between Angel and Alger, who used the Storm Church to investigate the bloody sacrifice on Sona Island and the Mad Captain Population Deal case to offset a portion of the Ocean Singer's recipe and extraordinary traits owed.
"In late February, 'Mad Captain Connors' and his One-Eyed Skull transported a group of carefully selected girls to a private port near Byam, planning to sell them to the Red Theater, of course, a small number of them may be given to the governor's palace and the military port, but the upper echelons have no intention of investigating further, and I don't get this list."
Alger recounted the information he had gotten from drunken friends and small talk in the tavern, and Angel compared what he had observed from a "first-hand" perspective, and found that the Church of the Storm had received very limited information through the interrogation of living pirates and psychic dead, only two more than she knew:
First, the demigod who killed "Mad Captain" and "Finger" Madouni managed to escape the "Sea King", but the Church of Storm got the other party's physical characteristics: cloaked, face distorted by extraordinary abilities, between 1.85 meters and 1.9 meters tall, arms longer than normal, almost knee-high, legs slightly outward.
Second, through the questioning of the girls, the Storm Church found that the scale of the "mad captain" involved in the human trade was far more than the rumored scale, but that they had to deal with thousands of slaves every year, and they were all sold to the Red Theater or something like that.
These two pieces of information are very valuable, the former gives Angel the opportunity to recognize the mysterious demigod immediately when he sees him, after all, his face is disguised and anti-divination, and he basically does not manipulate his body anymore.
The latter corroborates the statement mentioned by the black cat Winsa that the "witch sect" only used the great smog to cover up a large number of missing people, and determined that the military or royal faction cooperating with it has taken away a large number of low-level people in the East District with the help of "crazy captains" and more human traffickers for some ulterior purpose, and its number may be as high as tens of thousands.
"What are the actions of the Storm Church about this?"
After listening to the information Alger inquired about, Angel asked rhetorically.
"The substitute punishers of Byam because of the 'Rose School' and ...... half a month ago Caught up in the battle with some adventurers in the suburbs, this case can only be put on hold...... But do you remember when I commissioned you to investigate Barron, the trafficker? The Church of the Storm will not ignore this. ”
Alger explained, and finally couldn't help but defend his church.
Although he also felt that the substitutes wanted "Angelica" and "Gelman", who did not cause much harm, they put the human trafficking case on the shelf, and some did not distinguish between the serious.
"I hope so......" Angel replied perfunctorily, and then the conversation changed, "Have you completed the ceremony and promoted to Sequence 5?" ”
She remembered that the recipe for the Sea Singer mentioned that it was necessary to take a potion in the belly of an "Obnis", a sea monster with three heads and a large number of tentacles, which had been largely tamed by the Church of the Storm and kept near the island of Passu in the Sunia Sea, where they were firmly in their hands.
It's no wonder that Obnis is a necessity to advance to Sequence 5 of the "Sailor" pathway, and in doing so, they are monopolizing the ascending passage, and even if the recipe is leaked, it is almost impossible for the Wild Extraordinary to be successfully promoted...... On the other hand, it is very strange that the Night Goddess Church keeps mermaids in captivity for the promotion of the "Secret Puppet Master", there are only a small number of "soothsayers" in the church, what is the point of them monopolizing this path?
Knowing that Angel had a lot of thoughts in his head, Alger was stunned for a moment and replied:
"Not yet, the sea monster needed for the ceremony, I'm going to ask the 'Hermit' lady...... You already know her identity, right? ”
He knew that the "Queen" and the "World" had gone to sea with the "Hermit".
"Yes."
Angel replied honestly, looking at the "hermit".
……
In the darkness and silence, Cordelia was using her precious time to ponder the words of Mr. Fool.
He was undoubtedly offering to the Queen behind me that he could exchange the "blasphemy cards" for the secret of the diary, and she did have two, nay, three "blasphemy cards" now, and had said that he could use these as conditions if necessary, in exchange for several crucial answers to the secrets of Russell the Great......
She almost wanted to accede to Mr. Fool's request as soon as the "private exchange" was over, and have the Queen send the blasphemous cards in exchange for a few pages of translated diaries to read for herself.
But Gadelia knew that a large part of this was because of the sequence she was in, and the "astrologer" was thirsty for occult knowledge, so she quickly suppressed her inner impulse and decided to discuss it with the queen after the tarot meeting was over, and then make a decision.
Moreover, according to Mr. Fool, the contents of the diary pages this time are only meaningful to Miss "Queen", which means that it will not be used until at least Sequence 4, and she is in a hurry.
In this way, Gardelia felt her thirst for knowledge and inexplicable fear ease, and the next moment, her eyesight returned to normal, and the other members of the Tarot Society appeared at the long table one by one.
Seeing that the separate exchange was over and entering the link of trading with each other, she immediately looked at the "magician" beside her and said:
"I need a clue from the direct descendants of the Abrahams, and I am paid £1,000."
She looked directly at the commission I had posted, stating that she knew that my teacher was a member of the Abrahamic family...... Well, I have told other members of the Tarot Society about this, and even if the "Hermit" lady joins later, it is not difficult to understand that ......although the "magician" Furth is extremely attracted to 1,000 pounds, she will not betray the information of those close to her, so she just considers it and says:
"Why are you looking for the House of Abraham?"
"In relation to the 'Men' we have discussed, you just have to tell them this, whether you want to contact or cooperate further, it is up to them to decide, of course, whether it is successful or not, I will pay you 350 pounds, and if you make contact, you will pay the rest."
Gadelia replied.
It didn't sound malicious, and I could choose to earn only that £350 to keep the teacher safe...... Recently, he published two books as an agent, earning a lot of commissions, but spending more on it, and replied after a moment's thought:
"Yes."
With this successful transaction, other Tarot members began to post, accept commissions, and exchange their resources with each other.
The "Hermit" got the spinal fluid of the black hunting monitor lizard needed for "Justice", the meteorite crystal needed by the "Magician", showing his powerful ability as a pirate general, and the "Sun" Deric bought the auxiliary materials needed to be promoted to "Notary" from "Moon" Emrin, and maybe next week, the Tarot Society will have an extra Sequence 6.
"After getting the spinal fluid, I will collect all the potion materials required by the 'hypnotist', and the digestion of the 'psychiatrist' has also been completed," the transaction session ended, and after entering the exchange session, Audrey took the lead and said, "But I still have hesitation, do I want to be promoted to Sequence 6 immediately?" ”
"Are you worried that the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' will find out that you have been promoted too quickly and become suspicious of you?"
The "Hanged Man", who has a lot of experience in fighting, immediately saw through the reason for Audrey's hesitation.
"Yes, now I'm in my family's castle and don't worry about their censorship, but by June, I'll be back in Beckland, and I will inevitably have frequent contact with other members of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society', and maybe they will see something abnormal."
Family castle, isn't it the kind of castle that costs tens of thousands of pounds to repair and maintain every year...... The words that Alger was about to answer were sucked back into his stomach in one gulp, and it took a long time for him to recover, and he continued:
"I think that you have a very limited role in avoiding scrutiny by delaying promotion, and the higher your sequence, the more likely you are to resist psychological scrutiny and scrutiny, and when you are ready, you can ask Mr. Fool for the protection of the angels, just as you did before."
"Only by improving your own sequence can you take the initiative in your own hands." Angel also added on the side.
As the only high-level extraordinary person in the Tarot Society at the moment, her words are undoubtedly more effective than the "Hanged Man", Audrey thought for a moment and nodded as if she had made up her mind:
"As soon as I received the potion materials, I was ready to be promoted."
In this way, "Justice", "Sun", and "Magician", it is likely that there will be another moment when three members of the Tarot Club will be promoted at the same time...... No, if the "Hanged Man" succeeds in finding traces of the sea monster, there will be four!
It's been a few months since the last time three members were promoted at the same time in a week......
Angel looked at several members one by one, and there was a sense of relief that the "elders" watched the younger generations continue to grow.
At this moment, the "magician" whispered:
"Everyone, do you remember my last 'murder commission'?" She weighed her words and said slowly, so as not to scare the others like she had done last time, "Louis Vane, the Aurora Divine Envoy, I have found his traces. ”
I remember you saying "I want to kill...... Angel pursed her lips and looked at the other members, seeing that everyone still remembered that embarrassing moment, and turned their polite eyes to this member.
