Deep red streaks broke out in the gray and white mist. Miss Justice, who had always been lively, stood up first and bowed gently to the top.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
"Good afternoon, Miss Justice." In addition to regular contact with Ian, Klein, who rested at home all day yesterday, nodded to Miss Justice in a good mood.
Because no one had collected Russell's diary this time, the meeting went directly to the communication session.
"Mr. Fool, I have completed the task you gave me."
First, she glanced at the "Sun" who was entrusted with the same task as herself at the end of the last meeting. After finding that the other party had no expression, Audrey straightened her back slightly and looked at the top position.
Is it a task entrusted by "Secret" to Miss "Justice"?
Klein was stunned for a moment before realizing what Miss Justice was saying, and nodded slightly.
With approval, Audrey continued.
"I have followed your instructions and handed over the talisman to the royal advisor, Hvin Rambis, and through his recommendation, I will soon join the Psychological Alchemy Society."
"I really didn't expect that my first meeting with an angel would be on that occasion."
Although that meeting with Hvin Rambis was not as romantic as her fantasy of an angel coming, the dragon circling the sky still left an unforgettable impression on Audrey.
"Usually, the angels with wings on their backs in religious classics are just people's beautiful imaginations. 'Angel' is just a name for a person. As long as they reach the threshold of Sequence Two, anyone can be called an angel."
Klein's impersonation of "Mysterious" and Will Asceptin's uncanny speaking skills, combined with his own self-feeling, vaguely took over the topic of Miss Justice.
Miss "Justice" actually saw Mr. "Fool"'s angel?
Derrick, who also accepted the task, looked at "Justice" sitting opposite him with his eyes wide open, and his tall body moved forward with some excitement.
Now in the entire Tarot Club, I should be the only one who has never seen the powerful person of an angel...
He tried to observe the reactions of the other members as unobtrusively as possible, and found that whether it was Mr. "The Hanged Man" who had long claimed to be serving an angel, or the "Magician" and "Judge" who had been recommended by the angel to join
, although they were all very interested in Miss "Justice" meeting a brand new angel, they didn't show it as obviously as they did.
Moreover, Mr. "World" is a dependent of Mr. "Fool", and he can even often deal with angels...
To be honest, Derrick himself does not envy the luck of being in contact with important people. He just hopes that Silver City can also get help from all the angels.
That "Three-Headed Temple"...if he were not a believer of Mr. Fool, our entire team would have died outside the walls of the abandoned city-state...
"Mr. Fool, thank you for your previous help. We have asked Loholid to attack and successfully returned to Silver City." Derrick followed suit and reported his mission to Klein.
He turned around and looked at the "world" at the bottom.
"Mr. World, I have obtained the true rhizome of the Mist Tree Man. After the party, I will ask Mr. Fool to hand it over to you."
Alger, who was listening, also raised his hand slightly.
"I also got the quintessence crystal of the fairy spring water."
Coupled with all the crest fluid of the "Evil Patterned Black Panther" in my hand, I can advance to Sequence Seven tonight!
Klein manipulated "The World" to nod to the two of them, and then the "Fool" sitting at the top looked in the direction of the "Magician".
Mr. Fool is looking towards me?
Is it reminding me that I need to pay the price of His response to the ritual?
Although he had been protected by this unknown god from the pain of the full moon's murmurings, and had obtained the Sequence Eight potion formula from him, Forsi had always kept in mind the equal exchange emphasized by Mr. Fool. .
"Mr. Fool, thank you for responding to my ritual. I am willing to repay your help with three pages of Russell's diary."
Suddenly seeing Miss Magician bending deeply toward him, Klein, who was sitting upright, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Why did you suddenly send me a diary?
Doesn’t the goddess often respond to the requests of her followers?
"Okay." He lowered his chin pretending not to care, as if he didn't care at all.
Is there any reason not to accept a diary delivered to your door?
In addition to the three-page diary provided by Miss "Magician" and the diary that will appear in the exhibition of Emperor Russell, this is another considerable "treasure".
"You can communicate as you please."
The "Fool" at the top knocked on the mottled table, and there was a brief silence around the long gray fog table for a few seconds.
"I have here the potion formulas for the 'Apprentice' Sequence 7 and 8." "The World" glanced at the direction of the "Magician" thoughtfully.
The reason why Klein turned his attention to Forsi just now was because he thought of Miss Magician who had been suffering from a lack of formulas due to his promotion.
"Sorry, I don't need it right now."
unnecessary?
Klein, whose face was obscured by gray fog, raised his eyebrows.
"I have already obtained the magic potion formula of the Master of Magic from Mr. Fool, and I don't need the Sequence Seven formula yet."
Of course, the more direct reason is that my current savings are just enough to collect the materials for the "Master of Magic"... Forsi raised a polite smile, while Xio, who was informed on the side, quietly curled his lips.
Obtained the "Master of Magic" potion formula from Mr. "Fool"?
Mr. "Fool"——The muscles on Klein's face twitched.
He himself didn’t even know when he gave the Sequence 8 formula to Miss Magician!
"Last blood moon, I heard the 'magician's' prayer and helped her escape from mumbling..."
"Secret"'s peaceful and distant voice appeared at the right time. Although he only spoke half of what he said, Klein had automatically completed the rest of it.
And I directly gave her the formula of "Sequence Eight"... Well, it was broken, it was indeed Mr. Fool who did it.
With a stiff smile, Klein nodded towards the "world" opposite him, as if confirming this fact. Then the spirituality of his right hand spread, and the dummy controlled by the "substitute" hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the position of the "magician".
"I will leave you the recipe of the 'Astrologer'."
It turns out that the seventh sequence of "Apprentice" is called "Astrologer"?
"Apprentice", "Master of Magic", "Astrologer", none of them sounded like they could beat him... Forsi put the names of the three sequences together and found pessimistically that even if he entered the mid-sequence Even though you have reached the threshold, you may still be unable to master powerful combat skills.
"Everyone, Judgment and I discovered some strange feathers during an operation."
Under the corner of the table, Forsi, who was pulled by Xio by the corner of his clothes, raised his voice, while Xio on the side applied to Mr. Fool to show the appearance of those feathers.
In the gray-white mist, a few oil-stained pale yellow feathers floated and lined up neatly in a row.
"We suspect that these feathers are high-sequence products of the 'Death' pathway."
Xio, who always rarely talks in tarot meetings, took the initiative to add something.
Last night, Copusti took the initiative to tell Xio and Forsi the story of how he came into contact with the occult, and took them to the open space where the old gentleman was buried.
It was only after he was surrounded by two extraordinary people and Ferry opened the coffin that he buried in with his own hands.
He was surprised to find that the old gentleman who was lying in the coffin, already dead, had disappeared!
Under the crimson moonlight, the empty coffin seemed to be mocking his ignorance. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few feathers that looked like they were plucked from huge birds on the bottom of the coffin, both Xio and Forsi would be ready to interrogate this half-hearted occult hobby again.
By.
The product of mid-sequence Beyonders of the "God of Death" path?
After leaving the battleship of the Loen military, Alger was directly restrained in Bayam by the Church's punishment agent in the name of protection. Alger, who had not left his post again until yesterday, suddenly became energetic.
He happens to know a being who fits the description - "Hell Admiral" Ludwig.
But he had never heard of any connection between the "Hell Admiral" and giant feathers.
Alger rolled his eyes and looked decisively to his left.
Little "Sun" Derrick and "The World", one lives among the monsters himself, and the other is a dependent of Mr. "Fool". They are well-informed and may recognize these feathers.
This looks a lot like the feathers on Mr. Azik's back at that time... Through the gray fog, Klein found that the feathers in front of him were almost the same as the feathers on the wings of Mr. Azik's back in his memory, but Miss "Judgement"
The ones where the hair is exposed are a little greasy.
It is indeed the product of the "Death" pathway, and it should correspond to the high sequence... The "substitute" moved slightly, and the "World" at the bottom said hoarsely:
"This is indeed the product of the 'Death' pathway, a companion product of high sequence."
High-sequence companion products?
The remaining members immediately looked in the direction of "The World", Xio tried to straighten his body and said:
"Is there a more detailed description? I'm willing to pay."
Because he found the real culprit who "brought evil" to Yatru, Mr. Luo Ge generously gave the two of them another gold pound.
"Sorry, I just saw similar items in one experience."
The low-voiced "World" shrugged, and his black robe rose and fell.
"Can you tell me how you obtained this item?"
Seeing that even "The World" had no clue, "Sun" on the side was still staring at the projection in the sky, and before he could think of anything more, Alger cleared his throat slightly and attracted the attention of the remaining members.
It comes to yourself.
Xio and Forsi looked at each other, and Forsi, who was better at making up stories, took the initiative to take over the topic.
"You should be aware of the recent operations led by the Nighthawks in Backlund's East District, as well as the Crazy Ripper?"
Why are Lanrevus and Crazy Ripper involved again?
Klein frowned and decided that he would need to tell other members about the danger behind the Crazy Ripper later.
There are only a few members in the Tarot Society, and most of them are concentrated in Backlund. If it is really unlucky and the number of members is reduced because of curiosity and the person behind the Crazy Ripper, it will be a big loss.
Nighthawks spearheading an operation in the East End?
"Sorry, I encountered some things recently, and I don't know much about the news on land." Hearing that these two things were probably not simple, Alger shook his head and decided to return to reality soon, and he must find a way to find someone.
Port, let’s catch up on the recent news.
By the way, I heard that the Royal Navy broke through the island where the pirate conference was held... Audrey, who had occasionally seen this news from the news before, glanced at the "Hanged Man" calmly.
direction, and the sitting posture is more upright.
"Well, it's just a few of the more famous vicious incidents in Backlund recently," Fors paused deliberately, "'Judgment' and I received commissions from suspected victims of these two vicious incidents, and in the process of investigating the cemetery
During the journey, I witnessed the ritual scene of a group of 'Death God' believers, and these were the ritual materials taken back from their hands."
Forsi ran his fingers from the first to the last feather and clapped his hands.
This does sound more reasonable than the original process... Xio chimed in and added:
"At that time, the person who presided over the ceremony still had a bronze whistle in his hand that could summon a messenger, but the bronze whistle was taken away by a dead body."
Bronze whistle, dead body?
After capturing the keyword, Klein, who also had a copper whistle, subconsciously tapped the table.
It seems that it is really a remnant of the high-sequence path of the "God of Death". The copper whistle should be the magical item that contacted that high-sequence one.
A copper whistle that can summon messengers, high-sequence companion items... Alger chewed on these two descriptions, associated what he already knew about the "Death" path, and tried to make an illusion.
In the southern continent, the local indigenous people do have the custom of using various feathers to make exaggerated ornaments, and this custom is a legacy of the worship of the "God of Death" during the Balam Empire.
Until now, many indigenous people still use the feathers of various extraordinary creatures when performing rituals to the "God of Death" in an attempt to please the true god who is rumored to have fallen.
And on that island, there was a "feathered snake" that could control corpses... Alger's eyes narrowed as he stared at the feathers in the sky.
Although I have only followed Qilingos to the primitive islands a few times, and I have never seen the terrifying feathered serpent with my own eyes, whether it is the description of the myth of the Balam Empire or the description of Qilingos, the feathered snake is
It's this feather that covers the wings.
Is it possible that the essence of this ritual is awakening?
They wanted to awaken the demigod who had left behind the feather, and the copper whistle was another relic of the demigod during his lifetime. However, the host of the ceremony looked in the wrong direction and tried to complete this through the weak connection between the owner and the messenger.
An impossible thing?
The more Alger deduced, the more he felt that he had touched the truth.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly and then smoothed down quickly.
"Do you have any other opinions?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Xio asked again with hope, and at the same time looked towards the direction of the "sun" with a hint of hope.
It's a pity that this big boy seems to have never seen similar items. He just said that he would go back and check the classics.
"Everyone, I want to know, besides the 'God of Death' path, which path of extraordinary can control the corpse?"
Being reminded by Miss "Magician" just now, and thinking of the weird information dealer he met at another gathering of extraordinary people - D'Artagnan, Klein controlled "the world" and asked without high hope.
