If it weren't for the presence of Tarot Society members on the gray mist, Klein might have jumped up!
But even if he deliberately controlled his body and suppressed the actions he subconsciously wanted to make due to fear, everyone in the Tarot Society still noticed something strange.
They saw Mr. Fool suddenly trembled when he was reading Emperor Roselle's diary, as if he saw something that made him very excited.
What did Mr. Fool see? Audrey was about to ask a question, but found that her mind suddenly went blank. She seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to do. After being stunned for a while, she discovered the "Sun" and "The Hanged Man".
"He also looked confused, as if he had just woken up.
Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He just thought that he had been noticed by the members of the Tarot Society, and he had even quickly made up a lie in his mind.
He immediately turned his attention to the contents of the diary.
"The former owner of this gray mist was still alive during the Roselle era? He was actually also a 'seer' path?"
"Perhaps only Extraordinaries of the 'Seer' path can control this gray fog?" Klein had countless thoughts in his mind. "So I thought the gray fog was alive before, maybe just because its owner has not yet
die?"
Klein thought of this and quickly rejected his guess. After all, the name here pointed to him. The most likely thing is that the being has died. This is the kingdom of God or the sealed object he left behind.
"No, Roselle mentioned in his diary just now that Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, once had a powerful enemy called 'Secret'?" Klein thought in hindsight, "What about me?
Isn’t this notebook just for recording ‘mysteries’?”
"The person who helped Mr. Gate and Zaratul's enemy are the same person?"
"But who is Mr. Door? Although the way of naming him looks like me, it certainly doesn't look like I am just a shell with the blessing of 'special effects'."
He suddenly realized a terrifying fact. The powerful being known as "Mystery", the "righteous god" who once co-existed with the Creator, a being who claimed to have the authority to control time and space was killed by Roselle and many powerful people.
It was confirmed together!
He really exists in this world and could even communicate with Roselle more than a hundred years ago. Can such a being really die easily?
And why haven’t I heard of him in the literature about Nighthawks?
"Even this powerful being is still a fellow countryman..." Klein fell into silence for a moment, "Maybe, maybe he just went home and found a way to go back, so the gray mist lost its owner and allowed me to board the
After all, it is an existence that controls time and space. It may not be difficult for him to cover up his own traces..."
He couldn't think about it anymore. He needed a result to convince himself and make him forget about it.
He suppressed his emotions, gathered his thoughts, looked at "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun", and said softly:
"You can communicate freely."
"The Hanged Man" saw that Mr. "Fool" was no longer silent, allowed the communication, and immediately said:
"Mr. Fool, Miss Justice, in the process of tracking down the relevant information about Qilinges, I got a new piece of news. He seems to be trying to obtain something that can make him one of the four kings of the sea. One piece at least corresponds to
If someone chooses to infiltrate Backlund with anything above the level of a demigod, he is very likely to cause a huge tragedy in order to achieve his goal, or he may anger innocent people because his actions are exposed. He can definitely do it. He has caused a lot of harm at sea.
massacre."
The Hanged Man exaggerated the facts in order to draw more attention to "justice."
"Isn't Qilingos only at Sequence Six? Wouldn't cross-level promotion cause loss of control?" Audrey was not directly disturbed by the facts deliberately exaggerated by "The Hanged Man". Instead, she was quite rational and said, "Audience"
"The gesture pointed out the doubts.
"So it highlights the specialness and importance of that item, doesn't it?" "The Hanged Man" explained calmly, "And it also shows that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal."
"Moreover, compared to the 'Star Admiral' and 'Iceberg Vice Admiral' who have better reputations, if Qilingos becomes the fifth king of the sea, it will be another disaster for the people at sea."
"The Hanged Man" seemed to have successfully persuaded "Justice". Audrey thought about it carefully and responded with a smile:
"I will increase my attention and search for Chillinges. No matter what the item is, I don't want it to fall into the hands of such a person."
Seeing that his goal had been half achieved, "The Hanged Man" couldn't help but turn his attention to "The Fool" who was high in the thick gray mist. After careful consideration, he emphasized to "Justice":
"You'd better be careful. Qilingos is very good at assassination. He will stay in Backlund for a long time, and it involves a high-level item. He will not let go of anything that may hinder him.
people."
After saying that, he glanced at the "Fool" who remained calm, looking forward to the other party's movements.
Haha, Mr. "The Hanged Man", I'm not deaf. You don't have to keep stressing that if I really have a loved one, I will definitely be interested in it, but I am just a polished commander...
"Secret" seems to have four angels, and I don't know if those angels are still alive. If they are still alive and know that I have inherited the "legacy" of "Secret", it should be the "legacy". He is already dead...
....Oh, will they regard me as a "blasphemer" and kill me?
The only strong man I know, Mr. Azik, seems to be connected with the "Secret". Maybe I can ask him something about the "Secret", or I can tell him about Qilingos...
...
Klein thought for a while, leaned back on the chair, and said calmly:
"I see."
"The Hanged Man" saw that the "Fool" sitting on the bronze head still didn't show enough attention. He couldn't help feeling disappointed, but then he adjusted his disappointment and began to ask Miss Justice about the results of this week's investigation.
After once again providing more detailed information about Qilingos, Alger found that even if he could catch Qilingos' whereabouts, he could not completely keep the secret.
"He must die before he is caught. If the church really catches him, he will definitely betray me without hesitation in order to get a reduced sentence. If so, I will be finished..."
"I must watch him die before he is captured. The church lacks the means of timely channeling. Only the dead can keep secrets!"
Alger was thinking when he suddenly heard the steady voice of "The Fool":
"That's it for today."
Alger immediately stood up and saluted with Justice and the slower-reacting Sun:
"I will obey your will."
Then Gray Mist's connection with the three Tarot Society members was quickly cut off, leaving only Klein who was still sitting at the head of the long bronze table.
He looked around indifferently, recalling what he had just thought about during the discussion between "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" about "sacrifice". He decided to first ask a few people who might know something about it, such as
Let’s talk about Mr. Azik, let’s say little “Sun”. After he obtains the complete method, he will divine the pros and cons of this for himself, and whether the “sacrifice” will cause some bad changes to the gray fog.
When he thought of this, his spirituality immediately extended and enveloped him, and he once again passed through the thick fog under the gray fog, filled with all kinds of roars and murmurs.
Back in the bedroom, Klein looked out the window at the bright sunshine, thinking expectantly about two major events this week:
"First of all, I have to adjust my condition and be ready for promotion. Secondly, the opportunity to make the 'Sun Flame Spell' as agreed with Mr. Azik has also come. It will become my biggest reliance in the recent period."
He was looking forward to everything this week, and it seemed that he had really "ignored" everything about the "mystery" just now, and regained his good mood.
............
In a secret port in Pulitzer, in the captain's room of the "Blue Avenger", "The Hanged Man" Alger stared blankly at the lights in front of him, listened to the noise coming from the window, and fell into a rare state of fugue.
middle.
After a long time, he regained his energy, changed out of his robe embroidered with waves and lightning, and put on the clothes commonly worn by mixed-race people on the dock.
At this moment, most of his crew members have left the ship and are taking advantage of the church's opportunity to recall the "captain" to relax. No one cares what the captain does. After all, the captain is also a human being and needs to vent, right?
Alger walked aimlessly on the lively but alienated streets. He knew that this place did not belong to him, and that his destination would only be the sea, a place further away from "civilization".
His eyes were suddenly attracted by a tent of a wandering circus, and he couldn't help but stop. After thinking twice, he walked in.
In the tent, sailors in turbans, adventurers in jackets, and workers with dust remaining on their bodies. They were tired of struggling for life in the past. They were laughing, sitting on low horses, laughing at the clumsy hands in front of them, and their faces were bruised and bruised.
clown.
Alger also found a place and sat down. He sat in the center, with a dim but bright chandelier above his head.
He was not used to such an atmosphere, but he had nowhere to go. He could only frown and drink, watching the clown's "poor" performance like the audience around him.
Soon, the clown limped down and was replaced by a beautiful mixed-race girl and a handsome little boy.
The owner of the circus also drank wine, and with a sloppy nose, he excitedly introduced the handsome little boy, a rare castrato, to the audience.
It has to be said that the singing voices of the girl and the little boy were outstanding, and even the little boy was better. Alger slowly put down his wine glass and listened carefully.
Finally, the last show ended, and the boss returned to the backstage with the girl and the boy on his arm. The audience began to leave one after another. After they walked out of the tent, they were about to get back into the busy work of machinery.
Alger felt the wind carried away by the people around him when they left, and drank the wine quietly. It was not until a circus member came to remind him that he slowly swayed out of the tent.
As a born "half sailor", he has always had good eyesight, he can see a lot at night...
On the second day in Pulitzer Harbour, the circus performed as usual and nothing happened.
