Chapter 198 The Curse of the Tarot (thanks to SkywalkerZ
[Merlin VI made a prophecy before his death, a prophecy called "The Curse of the Tarot."]
【The secret of the world lies within.】
【The method of liberation lies within.】
【Go find it!】
[Find the twenty-two "Major Arcana Cards"! 】
At the same moment, whether it was Sophie who was kneeling on one knee in front of the Skeleton King, Shireen who was observing the palace, or the other contestants who were hiding and escaping.
Their expressions changed slightly after hearing this announcement.
However, compared to the first announcement, the response this time was much smaller.
Because of the lessons learned from the last time, the contestants did not get excited immediately, but carefully thought about whether there were any loopholes in it.
I was really scared of being cheated, and everyone became more honest after being severely beaten.
Although there were no pits buried inside this time, the hints given were still too stingy, and they didn’t even make it clear what the “Curse of the Tarot” was.
This even made some contestants who originally wanted to use tarot divination a little uneasy, wondering whether they should continue divination.
And even if there are very few prompts, some information can still be analyzed from them.
There are many smart people.
Even in the midst of strategic shifts, the contestants did not forget that they were in a competition.
What did they come for?
Is it to experience super large-scale multiplayer role-playing?
Not then!!!
In order to win!
As for the "Star Chaser" competition, the most conventional way to win is to find the "star" in that competition.
After thinking about Tarot cards, I quickly discovered something delightful.
In the Major Arcana card of the Tarot, the seventeenth card is [Star]!
Now, things are very clear.
There is a great possibility that as long as you find that "star", you will win!
The atmosphere of the game changed.
The originally confused contestants suddenly found their way and finally no longer had to run around like headless chickens.
This is just like someone suddenly finding a plot prop, which directly triggers the world plot and directly promotes the version update.
Andrew, who contributed to this great advancement, frowned slightly after hearing the announcement, but quickly relaxed.
The current situation seemed unfriendly to him, the person who discovered the secret, and he seemed to have lost a lot of advantage.
But in fact the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
This map is too big, and there is very little that these contestants can do.
Ordinary people have too little impact on the world, and what the awakened ones can do in the future is also not big.
If Andrew were to rely on himself, even with hints, it would be very difficult to find the people corresponding to those cards.
Therefore, even if the official does not notify others, Andrew, who holds this news, will find ways to release it and pass it on to others.
Only when others muddy the water can he fish in troubled waters more easily and benefit from it.
Andrew knows very well that a person's power is very limited, and he is bound to find allies.
In fact, his advantages are other.
Until now, he is the only one among the contestants who knows the entire contents of the prophecy, which is a huge bargaining chip.
"However, the choice of allies...who should we choose?"
After analyzing the information he had seen before, he was a little unsure.
There are indeed a few outstanding players among the contestants who have a certain value in winning over them, but there is a possibility that the opponent will turn them around.
He was also a little resistant to the two people from Jia Silin's family and Eli's family. He always felt that the other party must have a lot of secrets and should not be approached easily.
And contestants who are weaker than him are limited in what they can do...
"Wait a minute, do you want to go find him?"
An idea struck him, and he remembered Ning Feng's appearance in his mind, and Andrew suddenly became enlightened.
The surface strength is only second level, easy to control, but it has certain secrets, and the real strength is definitely more than that.
and……
"However, what is the status of [Sword Holder]..."
Andrew remembered this thing again that puzzled him.
"If Ning Feng is the [Sword Holder], then who will be the [Sword Holder] of the honorary judge who appeared on the cruise ship before?"
Andrew doesn't think there is anyone who can stand in front of all the legends and archmage without revealing his flaws. That person must be a true legend.
But he also knew very well the connection between Ning Feng's identity and the sword wielder...
"In other words, [Sword Holder] is a shared identity. Is it the legend who actually appeared in the trial court and on the cruise ship?"
However, no matter what the truth is, it is not something that should be considered now.
"Let's decrypt it first and look for Ning Feng. I hope he hasn't been eliminated yet."
…
…
And the moment this announcement appeared, all the live broadcast angles popped up and not only saw the same prompt.
At the same time, they also saw the prophecy "The Curse of the Tarot" that Andrew discovered:
"[The Fool] is the beginning of everything.
…
[The world] is the end of everything.”
Compared with the contestants who know how to find the star card at a glance, the audience from God's perspective can better understand the meaning of this task.
"I understand! In other words, the mission this time is to gather these twenty-two people and finally summon the dragon, right?"
"There is no rule saying that these twenty-two are all human beings, right? Some descriptions don't look like humans at first glance."
"Anyway, I think it's right to find the [Star]."
"Do you really think dog management can be so kind? Wait for me, I'll see for a while and there must be something else."
Audiences who have watched previous "Star Chaser" competitions are quite aware of Jia Silin's family's peeing problem.
"One more thing, these cards are not necessarily NPCs, are they? Could they be contestants?"
"No way, this prophecy is all set. Where can I find people who fit the prophecy?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"…………"
The discussion in the live broadcast room was intense, and the changes in the game also brought the legends who were constantly chatting on the cruise ship back to their senses.
"Oh, prophecy? Let me see what it says?"
Legend has it that there are not a few spellcasters who are proficient in tarot card divination. They subconsciously began to interpret this prophecy when they saw it.
But soon, these legends showed strange expressions.
???
"Huh? Why can't I decipher anything?"
"You too? I thought there was something wrong with me."
"What kind of prophetic poem is this? Is it just written blindly? Or is it because of my lack of ability?"
After trying several times, they all got the same result and couldn't interpret it at all.
very strange.
Legends rarely have shortcomings, and caster legends even more so.
These legends are not said to be proficient, but at least they have a certain understanding of prophecy spells, and they found nothing after trying to decipher them!
Isn’t this right!?
"No need to try again, the predicted results have been covered up."
Augustus's voice silenced the legends, and they looked at the Archmage and Keynes beside him in shock.
A legend who had just tried divination asked in surprise:
"Then, was it set up by you yourself?"
It's impossible for them to not be able to even detect a spell counterattack of the same level. The strength of the person who took action...
Augustus did not take his eyes away from the light screen, and said calmly:
"It's not me, but...well, I am aware of it."
!!!
Sitting next to the Archmage, the old man from Jia Silin's family was still stroking the gold coins in his hands, facing the gazes of the legends, and said in a calm tone:
"Jasilin's house..."
"It's just a small effort."
"Not worth mentioning."
cut!
Some legends wanted to laugh, but in the face of the current situation, they still did not say anything.
The background displayed by Jia Silin's family this time is not on the same level as the extinct creatures before.
Those creatures can also be explained by their long history.
To ask someone to take action requires not only amazing financial resources, but also strength and connections.
The secrets revealed by Jia Silin's family this time really shocked many people.
Seeing that neither of them had any intention of explaining, the legends withdrew their gaze and looked back at the light curtain.
And this time, it’s much more serious than before!
They are really curious about what secrets this "Star Chaser" full of mystery will reveal in the end!
…
…
Just when Ning Feng was slightly in a trance because of the "curse of the Tarot", Charlie continued to speak:
"I tried to seek help from others, but... I couldn't get out of here."
Lifting his feet, Charlie showed Ning Feng the chains under his feet.
"When night falls, this chain will appear under my feet. No matter where I go, it will always be connected to my body."
"And during the day, I can't go far at all. At night, I will be forcibly pulled back here."
After coming back to his senses, Ning Feng looked at the chains that locked Charlie's ankles and asked hesitantly:
"Then, haven't you tried to get rid of the chains?"
He didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was unspoken.
Shaking his head, Charlie lifted up his priest's robe, revealing his shriveled ankle and the huge wound on it...
"I tried...even if I cut off both feet, there is no way, it will reappear elsewhere in my body."
Ning Feng was silent. His suggestion felt cruel, but he never thought that the other party had already tried it.
"I've tried everything, but they all failed."
"I can only continue to act like myself and spend similar and repetitive days."
Suddenly, the pastor, who had been emotional and sad before, suddenly started talking.
He looked straight at Ning Feng and spoke slowly:
"And you, my friend... you are the only variable I have discovered in this long time."
Click, click, click!
The frost condensed, and under Charlie's influence, the whole room became like an ice cellar.
The power that had been suppressed before could no longer conceal itself and declared itself, and the evil aura spread and lingered, approaching Ning Feng.
Perhaps he was once a kind and kind priest, but nearly a thousand years of reincarnation and torture have long since changed him.
What remains in the world is that he is no longer the same person he was before.
Rather, he is an undead priest who has touched the threshold of legend and been abandoned by the gods.
Evil, cold, cruel.
He has been suppressing his true nature and maintaining the appearance in his original memory.
But in the process of continuous recollection, Charlie also released the beast entangled in the shackles of his heart.
While Ning Feng was performing, Charlie was also performing!
But now, his performance is over, and it's time to show off.
