Chapter 160: Mutual "Understanding" (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
None of ...... "Hermit" Gardelia chewed on Mr. "Fool's" answer, and suddenly didn't understand the real meaning of the question just now.
For example, "that island" refers to the kingdom of the gods in which he believes in the gods, and "the depths of the starry sky" implies the meaning of "astral plane", symbolizing that Russell the Great only believes in his own superego and aims directly at the throne of God, but Mr. "Fool" says that it is neither, which negates almost all possibilities and makes people unable to think of other answers.
Perhaps what the Queen wanted to ask was not what I understood, but Mr. Fool's answer pointed to something else...... It doesn't matter if I can figure it out or not, I'm just a prop for their communication...... Gardelia sighed in her heart and saluted sincerely:
"Thank you for your answer. β
The rest of the Tarot members were even more at a loss for this question and answer, although they knew the antecedents and could understand the specific meaning of the spiritual and spiritual destination, but they were completely unable to associate it with "island" and "deep in the starry sky", so they had their own interpretations and guesses, but they felt that it should be far from the correct answer.
In the subconscious thoughts of "magician" Furth, "that island" may be the place where Russell buried his most beloved woman, and "the depths of the starry sky" means that the emperor set his sights on what he called "the sea of stars" in his later years.
"Justice" Audrey believes that "that island" is the island of self-consciousness at the psychological level, the sea part is the conscious, the bottom part is the subconscious, and the starry sky refers to the spiritual sky and the astral world, so the corresponding question becomes "Is Russell the Great believing in himself, or gods, or pure nature".
From this point of view, the answer given by Mr. "Fool" is rather strange, as if to say that Russell the Great did not believe in anything, including himself.
I seem to have misunderstood...... But if this is the case, the Russell the Great in the mouth of Mr. "Fool" seems to be contradictory, but in fact there is a deep secret...... Or did he see through life in his later years, thinking about the nature of the universe, the world, the gods, and the human being, and became a pessimist and a nihilist?
"The Hanged Man" Alger's idea was close to that of "Hermit" Gardelia, "Moon" Emlyn thought about it for a while, felt that he had no clue, and decisively gave up speculation, "Sun" Derrick had no interest in Russell the Great, but did not break the silence, and repeatedly thought about what was to be exchanged next.
Finally, the "fool" shrouded in gray fog chuckled and said:
"Let's get started. β
"The Hanged Man" Alger immediately looked at the "World" Gelman Sparrow at the bottom of the bronze table, and considered the language:
"I'm sorry, but that amazing item of yours might have to wait a while. β
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he quickly gave an explanation:
"That 'craftsman' has strangely contracted a disease, and there are suspicious snoopers around him, so I will go over and see if I can solve his troubles and get him back to shape as soon as possible, so that he can make the magical items you need within these two weeks. β
He said it very sincerely, and also expressed his apologies and attention, but in the actual description, he quietly put all the responsibility on the "craftsman", as if to say to the "world", if you are really dissatisfied, I will help you teach the other party a lesson, if this is not enough, I can even give you a specific address, let you come to the door in person.
That "craftsman" is in trouble...... Mr. "Hanged Man" still attaches great importance to it, well, unofficial, or willing to take orders from unknown sources "craftsmen" are very rare, and if you can keep this one, you still have to keep it as much as possible...... Klein groaned for a moment, causing the dummy "World" to respond hoarsely:
"I agree with this postponement, but there will be no next time. β
What he said was very plain, but the "Hanged Man" Alger was shocked, and seemed to feel the murderous intent contained in the "world" Gelman Sparrow.
"Thank you for your understanding. He said calmly.
Seeing this, the "hermit" Gadelia, who was listening to the exchange between the two, looked at the "upside-down hanged man", hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, pushed her glasses, and took the initiative to speak:
"If you can't solve that problem, I can help. β
In her opinion, if it is not a big problem, it can even be free, after all, it means that she bypassed the "hanging man" and directly connected with the "craftsman".
How could Alger, the "Hanged Man", not understand the true intentions of the "Hermit", the pirate general, only to feel that the other party showed strong aggression and made him feel a certain degree of pressure, he paused, and responded quietly:
"Then I will take his place and thank you in advance for your kindness. β
On the one hand, he showed that he had a close relationship with the "craftsman", and on the other hand, he did not veto it directly, and reserved a way out for himself - it was not unacceptable to sacrifice some interests rather than being troubled by Gelman Sparrow.
"Hermit" Gadelia did not dwell on this matter, but turned to the "world" Gelman Sparrow and said:
"Is that Sibailang information still satisfied?"
Last Thursday, she had gathered and compiled the information that German Sparrow needed about Sibairang, and handed it to him with the help of that strange messenger.
- She is full of fear of Mr. "Fool", but she is not willing to disturb this being if there is any other way.
It cost me a full 300 pounds, and if it wasn't up to par, I'd return it on the spot!" Klein muttered, making Gelman Sparrow "The World" "um" in reply.
Then the dummy's eyes turned to Miss "The Magician".
Furth suddenly felt uncomfortable, like a mouse being targeted by a cat, and couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong again.
Could it be that when I communicated with Hugh, the description of Dawn Dantès, no, slander, was heard by him? Or was he not satisfied that I had not returned the money?
"Mr. 'World', yes, what's the matter?"
"World" Gelman Sparrow nodded and said:
"A commission.
"The most important thing to get information about Calderon City in the spirit world from the Abrahamic family is positioning. β
How did the "world" ...... Calderon suddenly start looking for this mysterious spiritual city? Mr. Fool's command? This is a new link in his recovery plan? "Hermit" Gadelia knew a certain amount about Calderon City, and was a little stunned at this time.
The rest of the Tarot Society, including "Magician" Furth, did not know exactly what city "World" Gelman Sparrow was looking for, and could only remain silent, among them, "Moon" Emlyn vaguely felt that he had heard it somewhere, but could not remember the specific details.
Three or four seconds later, "Magician" Furth squeezed out a smile:
"No problem, I'll help you ask. β
"How much do you need to be paid?" asked Gelman Sparrow in a flat tone.
1,000 pounds!No, 500 pounds, no, you have to deduct the bodyguard fee...... "Magician" Fore thought about it, and finally quoted:
"350 pounds. β
It's very cheap, the detailed information of Calderon City is only available to the Abrahamic family except for the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm...... Well, for Miss "Magician", it is really simple and convenient to ask the teacher, no wonder the asking price is not high...... Klein was surprised at first, then relieved, and let the dummy "world" bow lightly:
"Deal. β
Audrey, the "justice" who witnessed the deal, noticed an interesting point:
Miss "Magician" seems to be very afraid of Mr. "World", so afraid that she is a little reflexive!
She had met with Dawn Dantès before, but she didn't know it was Gelman Sparrow, and had discovered something terrible?well, she and Hugh had been asked to meet at Gleilynt this week to see if they could ask something...... Audrey nodded thoughtfully and imperceptibly.
At this time, seeing that there was nothing else to do in the "world", "Moon" Emlyn looked sideways at the "sun" with a little eagerness:
"Sequence 5: Are there any extraordinary properties of artificial vampires?"
"I haven't saved up enough merit. "Sun" Deric was not ashamed this time, but felt that Mr. "Moon" was too anxious, how could the merits required by the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 5 be so easy to accumulate?
"Moon" Emlyn turned his head back in a daze, suddenly remembered something, and said to Miss "Magician":
"The cursed and remnant spirits of the ancient wraiths have clues, and I'm waiting for the specifics.
"This may not be a direct item for you, but a piece of intel that tells you where an ancient wraith haunts are near Beckland. β
Speaking of which, Emlyn thought for a moment and said:
"300 pounds. β
In other words, I need to hunt down that ancient wraith myself? In various occult rumors, this is quite a monster...... After listening to Mr. "Moon" words, Furth's first reaction was to be embarrassed, and the second reaction was that if he didn't entrust the hunting task to Mr. "World", the other party would definitely be able to complete it quickly and smoothly!
Considering that the cost of hiring Mr. "World" must be far more than the value of the ancient wraith, she thought it would be better to try it herself.
When Hugh becomes an "interrogator", the two of them together should have a much greater grasp...... And I also have "Lemanor's Travel Notes", which transcribes the demigod-level "Tornado" and "Angel's Embrace", which transcribe many strange extraordinary abilities, and below the high sequence, they are almost artifacts...... Well, I don't have much actual combat experience, most of the time I just run away, this is an opportunity...... "Magician" Falth quickly made a decision, and said to "Moon" Emlyn:
"Deal. β
Something else was confirmed, and the deal was over, and Klein asked Gelman Sparrow of "The World" to get in front of Mr. "The Hanged Man", looked around and said:
"My preliminary investigation has made a clear picture of the Caron suicide in Beckland. β
