Chapter 48 The Second Tarot Session

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Not long after Earl Hall's butler left, the banquet ended completely.

The nobles wore awkward smiles, and after forcing themselves through ten minutes of politeness, they left in a hurry, fearing that they would offend the Viscount of Manchester or the Earl of Hall by staying until the end.

It was well known that if the count's eldest son did not come, it was because he did not want to come.

Miss Audrey's physical discomfort had no trace in the aristocratic circle. If it were really serious, the gift-giving procession of earls and dukes would have passed through the threshold of Earl Hall's house.

This is 100% an excuse.

It can only mean that Earl Hall was dissatisfied with some of Viscount Manchester's plans and temporarily stopped his eldest son's visit.

Most of the nobles rushed back to find out which part of them had the disagreement.

For a time, the splendid hall was filled with all kinds of farewells. The building was deserted, and even the desserts on the table seemed extremely lonely.

The carriages of nobles were parked at the entrance of the manor.

Before leaving, Viscount Graylingt and his sister Shaman, each with one hand and one hand, emphasized to Yager that they must attend the salon next week, and that Miss Audrey and Miss Hugh would both come.

Tempt him.

"You must come!"

Yager agreed with a dark look on his face.

The black-haired young man tried his best to pull back his sleeves and hid behind the old lawyer from beside the strange brother and sister.

To be honest, he was not interested in the two girls at all.

He is only interested in Xio's extraordinary information.

When he first met Xio, he missed the opportunity to collect information from her because he was new to the area and didn't know about the problems in the East District.

However, based on their relationship, he believed that after meeting in the salon, Xio would be sincerely willing to tell him the intelligence she knew about the Eastern District.

:d

With such evil thoughts in mind, after the nobles' cars disappeared at the end of the lawn, Yager followed lawyer Emond back to the Minsk office.

--

Monday afternoon, three o'clock.

The rally above the gray fog arrived on time again.

Six figures appeared on the ancient bronze long table.

In addition to Yager's side, next to Audrey, Detective Sherlock Moriarty, represented by 'The World', also appeared in this Tarot session.

To the left and right of the long table, there is one less vacant seat carved with strange patterns.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Sun, Mr. Bishop!" Miss Justice said hello energetically.

Yager nodded in response along with the others.

The extraordinary gathering was full of mystery but seemed to be a joyful one.

When Audrey's eyes naturally turned to the stranger at the end, wearing a hooded black robe and a hazy and illusory figure, the Fool introduced him in a timely manner: "This is the new member, Mr. World."

"Hello everyone." Shijie said to everyone in a hoarse voice.

He is still Klein himself.

However, with this new body, Klein still hopes to distinguish it from the real-life character of Detective Moriarty as much as possible, and avoid the mistakes of under-covering it that he made before.

Therefore, he not only disguised his appearance, but also tried his best to change his demeanor.

The Hanged Man, the Sun, and Justice each received a rather lukewarm response to their respective greetings to the world.

The world wants to go the silent route.

However, when Yager followed the trend and said hello to him, his plan ran into a dilemma.

Responding enthusiastically is inconsistent with the persona he wants to create.

Don't respond enthusiastically...

The bishop doesn't seem to be a very broad-minded demigod.

At least, after he accidentally threw the real spell at the bishop, the bishop's action of cutting Rosago's neck looked quite violent and violent.

Well, although normal people are unlikely to get angry due to greetings, they still need to take precautions before it happens.

After all, he seems to have tricked the bishop twice in a row this week.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Bishop." After a brief hesitation, Klein gave Yager a special and complete reply.

Not particularly enthusiastic, but obviously different from the brief nods exchanged between others.

This change in attitude was naturally noticed by other members.

‘Do they know each other?’ Miss Audrey, as an audience member, was the first to guess.

According to the information she 'read', Mr. World is a man with reserved emotions, few body movements, and a straight face all the time, but his reply to Mr. Bishop had a familiar tone.

This means that they should intersect in reality.

Most other Tarot Club members feel the same way.

On the surface, this passage seems to reveal personal information about the world.

However, this interpretation is actually in line with Klein's expectations.

After getting the divination result that "visiting Yager is dangerous" last time, he confirmed it in various ways above the gray fog. It seemed that it was not that Mr. Bishop had any objections to him, but that the area around his residence was dangerous.

This danger isn't even just for him.

So he originally decided to communicate with the bishop at today's Tarot meeting, showing that they knew each other and it wouldn't have much impact.

After the question mark session ended, the world quickly asked: "Mr. Fool told me that I can issue tasks and collect materials here, right?"

Klein needs to save materials for his sequence potion.

"Yes," the first to answer was still the elegant Miss Audrey, "but you have to wait patiently. Next is Mr. Fool's reading time."

Even after she completed the Aurora Society assassination mission, she didn't ask to seize this time.

Audrey, who was standing next to the world, slightly raised her chin arrogantly and thought to herself.

Hearing her reply, Klein, who was wearing a double vest, nodded dumbfounded and did not continue to speak.

The Sheep in the Tarot Club are really self-conscious.

On the other side, as the topic turned to Russell's diary, Alger Wilson, the Hanged Man who remained silent, bowed humbly: "Only six pages were found this time, and the rest will be given to you next time."

Audrey, who was absent last time, also turned in four pages.

And the last Yager also...

...No, Yager could only look at the sky silently.

This week he was either in the East End or in the Capine Mansion, and Russell's diary had long been completely forgotten.

Next week, definitely next week!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fool," he said with a hint of guilt, "I still have no chance of getting the diary this week."

As someone who knew his movements, the Fool didn't make any comment. After a simple response, he started to read the diary.

To be honest, if Mr. Bishop could accomplish so many things in one week and cover every aspect, Backlund might have been completely dismantled.

Klein is very grateful for Yager's current efficiency.

The long table fell into silence, and the members quietly waited for the Fool to finish reading.

...

A few minutes later, the Fool finished reading the diary.

This time's diary mainly proves what Mr. Bishop said last time about Sequence Zero.

Even Roselle thought it was shocking knowledge. It is really amazing that the bishop can share it freely...

Klein sighed for a while.

After a while, his attention returned to the trading session of the Tarot Club.

Sitting at the front of the long table carved with ancient patterns, the Fool looked up from his diary and nodded to Audrey: "Miss Justice, you did a good job. You solved Beclang in less than a week, which helped my family.

There are many."

"As agreed, what do you expect to be paid?"

The trading session starts with Audrey's task.

Upon hearing the story of justice, Yager, the Sun, and the Hanged Man all showed surprised expressions.

Little Sun Derrick was envious of receiving the mission from Mr. Fool purely for the sake of justice.

The God-Forsaken Land he was in was too far away from the others, and he had no chance to interact with Mr. Fool, whom he worshiped and respected.

Alger, the Hanged Man, was shocked by Audrey's speed of movement.

Only Yager was surprised and a little disappointed.

Why isn't he involved?! He's also in Backlund.

He really wants to trade with Mr. Fool!

Yager asked loudly in his heart.

In the past week, he has accumulated three items to be investigated, including the Lady of the Night, George III, and MI9. He has a lot of rewards he is willing to receive from The Fool!

Gee, why don’t we have this chance?

Mr. Bishop crossed his legs dissatisfiedly and watched Audrey get paid.

However, if Klein knew what Yager was thinking, he would definitely purse his lips sadly and show an awkward yet polite smile.

Is it possible that he can't afford these?
