Chapter 143: Fool Card Simultaneous Translator (First Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)
Klein paced back and forth in the small range, thinking about the intentions of the Church of the Night Goddess in relation to the "soothsayer" sequence:
"They didn't want the Nightwatchers to choose this path, or they didn't want them to be strong on this path, so they just sent out Sequence 9 'Fortune Teller......' with obvious auxiliary effects?
"No, in the classified information I can see, they don't even provide the names of the potions corresponding to Sequence 8 and Sequence 7, only the corresponding combat characteristics...... In other words, they don't want the people below to know that the top management has the information......"
"Could it be that all the night watchmen who choose this path could become the 'vengeful spirits' of the House of Antigonus?
For a while, Klein was full of doubts about the upper echelons of the Goddess of the Night Church, and was strongly wary and wary, and reconsidered whether to make a special application and become a "clown" in the open:
"If there's a terrible secret hidden here, didn't I jump into the crater myself? I'm not the kind of person who can be rigorously investigated......
"However, the Tingen branch has submitted the 'Joker' formula, and the members of the 'Fortune Teller' know this and hope to get promoted, isn't it normal? And Sequence 8 is still a low sequence, so it shouldn't attract too much exaggerated attention......"
"The only problem is that it only took me a month to completely 'master' the potion, and I submitted a special application, and if the higher-ups knew and understood the 'trick', they would understand the key at a glance...... Of course, my reasons are good enough, after all, I know the 'psychic' Dali, and I am friends with the 'voyeur' old Neil, who strictly adheres to the motto, and it is not too difficult to understand that I am inspired by this to further complete the 'playing method'. ”
"Well, even Dai Li has been in the rank of 'psychic' in Sequence 7 for three years, and there are signs of digestion before she really enters the sight of the high-level and is cultivated as a future archbishop and senior deacon...... I'm sure I won't get much attention at this stage of the 'Joker', unless I'm going to digest the potion in a few months and convince them that I've really mastered the 'tricks'......"
"In other words, applying for a 'clown' potion is not too risky, and you can continue, but you have to pay attention to it later, hey, you can only take one step at a time, and then go home and make another divination decision. ”
Crane gathered his thoughts, took out the revolver in the pouch under his armpit, and carried out his daily shooting practice and corresponding maintenance.
The quality of this pistol from his classmate Welch was beyond his imagination, and it was able to last for a long time, of course, thanks to the fact that he learned how to maintain firearms from Dunn and Leonard.
"Actually, it's nothing if it's broken, these are all materials that can be applied for. Klein glanced at the target, put away the revolver, and left the "shooting club".
He rode back to No. 2 Daffodil Street in a trackless carriage, and before he could get closer, he saw a young girl wandering at the door.
The girl, dressed in a long blue dress inlaid with beautiful lace and a hat with a pintle hanging down, was none other than Melissa's classmate, Elizabeth, who had a lovely baby fat.
Sensing that Crane was approaching, she hurried up to meet him, taking off her hat with a happy face.
She paused for two seconds, then suddenly smiled and said:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Moretti. ”
"I think you must have just returned from the town of Ramder, right?"
I'm sorry, but I'll be back in the morning...... Klein smiled and said:
"No, I'm coming back from Zotland Street. ”
Well, that's a very true answer...... He thought to himself amusefully.
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little excitement and excitement: "Okay, I guessed wrong, I came to you today, waiting here, to tell you that I didn't have nightmares last night, I didn't dream of the knight in black armor again! This is exactly the same as your divination results!"
Of course, that resentful spirit was completely purified by the seal "3-0782", and even I couldn't do it if I wanted to be psychic on the spot, let alone your dreams...... Klein chuckled and replied gently:
"I'm glad you're out of trouble, and I'm happy with my divination yesterday. ”
"Thank you, thank you again!Alright, I have to take my leave, I have class in the afternoon, bye, Mr. Moretti, I'll find time to visit Melissa~" Elizabeth walked away briskly and got into a cab nearby.
Looking at the scene of the carriage slowly sweeping outside the window, the corners of her mouth hooked up a little, and she thought proudly: "Melissa must not know that she has such a powerful brother......"
............
It doesn't feel like what I just explained was completely useless...... The girl is always willing to trust her instincts and the facts that her brain has made up...... Crane watched Elizabeth get into the car, shook his head as he pulled out the key to open the door and head all the way back to his bedroom.
He took a break and began to sort out and summarize the events of the previous week, including the parts that had not been resolved in the past.
When he was done, he burned the paper, took out his silver pocket watch, and snapped it open to look at it.
"Wait another fifteen minutes...... "Seeing that there was still time, Crane simply put on his old dress jacket and went to the "Sling's Bakery" on Iron Cross Street, and bought a cup of sweet iced tea from Mrs. Wendy.
Drinking his drink and returning leisurely, he spiritually sealed the bedroom at 2:45 and walked four backwards into the gray mist.
In the silence of the ancient palace, Crane wrote a new divination phrase on the embodied parchment:
"The 'Joker' potion should be obtained through the Night Watch Organization. ”
Placing the pen, he untied the pendulum wrapped around his wrist and held it firmly with his left hand, allowing the citrine pendant to hang from the parchment.
After reciting it seven times, his eyes deepened, and the pendulum in his hand began to rotate slightly, clockwise.
The answer is yes and yes...... But the sequence after "Joker" is difficult to say, and I still have to seriously develop my tarot will ...... Klein carefully went through the matter all over again.
Then, he pressed his hand to the crimson star, which represented the "sun".
He was going to gather the boy in Silver City in advance to confirm if he had leaked the matter above the gray mist to the "Council of Six", and if not, then give the other party a better way to control the time of the meeting.
............
Silver City, inside the rooms of the Berg family.
Derick sat quietly and silently on the edge of the bed, waiting for the call of the "Fool".
In order to fulfill the duty of not staying with other people as much as possible, he did not go out at all after "returning", and the food in the room was already eaten by him.
Suffering from hunger and listening to the rumbling of his stomach, Darik felt like a living corpse wandering the dark wasteland, but he still didn't speak, he didn't get up.
At that moment, he saw a crimson fill in the void, and it engulfed itself in one fell swoop.
The gray, boundless, deserted, and silent world appeared to his eyes again, and the fool who sat on the top of the head shrouded in a thick mist appeared to his eyes again.
Klein was satisfied that the "convocation" had not been disturbed, and that he had not received a warning of danger.
"'Sun', we meet again. He said with a smile in the language of giants.
Shocked again by what had happened, Derrick lowered his head and said:
"You are a trustworthy fool. ”
"The other members will have to wait for a while, and I'll confirm one thing with you first. Crane spoke in Rune this time, but gave the mysterious space the idea of translating it into Giant's language.
So, in Derick's ear, the other party was still speaking in the language of giants, and he asked suspiciously:
"What's the matter?"
Well, after I have mastered the Giant's language, the mysterious space above the gray fog can realize the simultaneous translation of this language, so that I don't have to worry about "justice" and "hanging man" not being able to understand the speech of "Sun...... Hey, why am I, the big boss, so tired...... Klein reached out and pinched the corner of his forehead, shook his head and smiled:
"I allow you to recite my name and remember the following titles. ”
"A fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious lord above the gray mist, and a king of yellow and black who rules good fortune. ”
Deric's pupils constricted when he heard it, but he didn't dare to be distracted, and kept repeating it in his mind before he looked to the fool for confirmation.
"Every time you return to the Silver City from here, you will need to chant my name with a short ceremony...... After the meeting, I will inform you in advance, you don't need to care, you don't need to avoid other people, and when you receive my information, you can be alone within a thousand heartbeats. Klein said what he had been thinking about for a long time.
This is essentially a response to a prayer.
- Concerned about the state of Silver City, and to save time, Crane simply omitted the other steps of the ritual, which was a prayer to him anyway.
"A thousand heartbeats?" said Derrick to himself, as if he were asking rhetorically.
Klein introduced the general situation of the tarot meeting to the other party, then took out the silver pocket watch and snapped it open.
Daerik froze for a moment, and instinctively stared at the strange object.
Seeing that three o'clock was coming, Crane pressed his hand to the crimson star, which symbolized "justice" and "sun".
Daerik watched the scene without a single roll of his eyes, seeing a burst of light on the opposite side and from the side, stretching out two blurred figures.
Audrey Hall looked around for a moment, and was stunned, and then heard the eternally steady voice of Mr. Fool:
"This is a new member with the title 'Sun'. ”
"This is Miss 'Justice', this is Mr. 'Hanged Man'. ”
The new member, Audrey, was startled at first, and then filled with joy.
She is very happy to see Tarot grow and develop, and she has a sense of ownership.
"The Hanged Man" Alger frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with the Fool's sudden arrival of a new member.
At the very least, we should have told us in advance...... However, it is true that a big man like Mr. Fool does not consider our feelings...... He thought helplessly, and said a brief hello to "Justice" and "Sun".
And in this short process, Audrey entered the state of "audience" and carefully examined the new member "Sun".
"He's not too old...... Those body movements showed that he was a little nervous and cramped...... But the whole person remained silent enough to give the feeling of, well, lone wolf, yes, lone wolf......" Audrey thought as she cast her gaze to the fool at the top of the bronze table.
She spoke happily:
"Mr. Fool, I have collected two more pages of the diary of Russell the Great. ”
