Chapter 6 The “non-existent” city (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)
The child of the "Original Witch" must be born female? Jenna thought of the serial name "Witch" and vaguely understood why.
Even when the children of God are just born, they cannot be ordinary people, or they can only be Sequence 9 or Sequence 8, right?
"Okay." Jenna agreed.
The first task of entering the Tarot Society was that she did not need to be separated from her companions and could take the risk on her own, which made her feel at ease a lot.
Ms. "Judgment" smiled back: "I will now briefly tell you about the situation of our Tarot Society..."
After Anthony Reed left Apartment 601, No. 3 White Coat Street, he felt sleepy from not sleeping all night.
As a "psychiatrist", his physical fitness has not improved too much, but not only did he survive until dawn last night, he was also seriously injured. He only survived with the blood-sucking obsidian broken arrow.
As a result, I lost a lot of blood and became weak. After that, I also experienced things that consumed my energy such as running wildly and fighting fiercely. Now I am naturally exhausted and want to find a bed to lie down immediately.
At this time, he was quite envious of the "Hunter". Lumian was only one rank higher than him. He had also not slept yet. He was the main force in the two battles, but he didn't show any signs of fatigue at all and was full of energy.
As if I could kill another Gardner Martin.
Anthony Reed forced himself to turn to the chaotic street, entered a brown-gray house, and came to the corner of the third floor.
This is his safe house, an apartment that has been vacant for a long time.
He felt that renting a room from a landlord or an agent as a safe house was not that safe. As long as he had contact with people, there was a risk of being betrayed and traced. Using his identity as an intelligence dealer, he learned about the reasons for different reasons in several places in the market area.
If something goes wrong in an unused or abandoned apartment, just randomly pick one to hide in and not have any contact with anyone.
Anthony did not dislike the dusty bed and moldy quilt, fell down, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the hazy and hazy dream, he suddenly regained his sense and regained a certain degree of clarity.
He saw Market Avenue ahead, a cafe with people coming and going, and business was quite good.
Following the strange intuition originating from his heart, Anthony Reed passed by the golden retriever squatting at the door of the cafe and came to booth D by the window.
There sat a lady wearing a light green and white dress. Anthony felt that he should have seen her appearance clearly, and even had a stunning impression, but he could not form a clear picture in his mind.
It's like he collected all the information, but his brain or "mental body" couldn't process it.
"Good morning, I am 'Justice'." The lady introduced herself with a soft voice, with a little briskness in her tone.
"Justice"... Anthony has heard from Lumian and Franka that the secret organization they belong to is called "Tarot Society". The members are codenamed by different tarot cards. Among them, the Major Arcana card represents the core members.
Each one is a demigod, and the Minor Arcana is a peripheral member, belonging to a different Major Arcana.
And "Justice" is undoubtedly a Major Arcana card.
"Will you be my Major Arcana card?" Anthony sat opposite and asked respectfully.
"Justice" smiled and said: "You can also choose to change. Fate is not unchangeable."
"Of course, some beings don't think so."
The Major Arcana card opposite was friendly enough and did not impose any pressure. He even took the initiative to make jokes, which made Anthony's tense heart relax a lot.
He quietly exhaled and said, "I can draw the cards now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stack of tarot cards suddenly appeared in front of him.
Anthony habitually picked one from the middle and opened it on the table.
The card of the Minor Arcana is: a man with a sword sitting under three hanging swords.
"Four of Swords"!
"The baggage in your heart has been put down. The rest and accumulation now are for a longer journey in the future. As a 'psychiatrist', this card is also telling you to always pay attention to your own soul. We may carry it on you at any time.
You need to know how to accept, accommodate and solve new burdens." Ms. "Justice" "interpreted" the meaning of this Minor Arcana card.
There was also a stack of tarot cards in front of her, but the number of cards was less than half of the previous stack.
She casually took out a card and placed it in the middle of the table.
The card depicts the goddess of justice sitting on a stone chair, holding a sword and scales.
Major Arcana card, "Justice"!
After pushing the "Justice" card to Anthony, the lady smiled and said: "You have two tasks now. One is to cooperate with the 'Two of Holy Cups', help her eliminate the 'Man in the Mirror', and investigate the problem of the Witch Sect.
Try to contact a secret organization called the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'..."
"Psychological Alchemy"...... Anthony chewed on this name.
After talking about the mission, "Justice" turned to ask: "Have they told you the details of which great being we are following and the 'Tarot Society'?"
"I only know that you follow a righteous god called 'The Fool' and use Tarot cards as code names after his name."
Tony said truthfully.
Before he officially joined the "Tarot Club", Lumian and Franka couldn't say much.
"Justice" laughed: "Then please allow me to introduce you to our guide and savior, the great Mr. Fool..."
There was a hint of joy in her tone.
After leaving the safe house in Lugano Toscano, Lumian took a carriage to the Botanical Garden, turned onto the street with the same name as the Stone Street in the market area, and entered the safe house he had rented before.
He glanced at the little boy Ludwig who was sitting on the sofa, eating dessert, and sneered: "Although I have escaped from the Church of Knowledge, I can't be so depraved. I just know!"
"There is a bad-tempered guy who sent you a letter, right in the bedroom." Ludwig changed the subject directly.
"A bad-tempered guy?" Lumian frowned slightly.
"Wearing a golden skirt...like a doll." Ludwig replied without raising his head, pausing midway to take a bite of the carrot cake that is said to be a specialty of the Loen Kingdom.
Ms. "Magician"'s messenger... Lumian asked in confusion: "Why is she angry with you?"
"I saw her, and then we had a fight." Ludwig said without paying too much attention.
Was it just a quarrel? She didn't hang you up and beat you? Lumian muttered silently and walked into the bedroom, picking up the letter paper folded into squares on the desk.
This letter is different from the one that gave the reward before. It mainly answers the questions Lumian raised after getting the "0-01" information:
"This should be a hint from the Church of Knowledge: "If you can reach a high position, they are willing to provide certain help, and even tacitly allow you to take the sealed artifact.
"Of course, there are two prerequisites for this. One is that you must be at least a Sequence 4 saint, have divinity, and have the qualifications to enter the chessboard. The other is that you have a way to carry the sealed object without causing harm to the surrounding humans and the environment.
“If we cannot do these two things, it is impossible for the Church of Knowledge to provide clear support.
"There is a contradiction between becoming a demigod and being unable to get close to '0-01' above Sequence 5. There may be a message hidden in this, which is to tell you that after you prove that you have the ability to advance to Sequence 4, you will not be able to hold the ceremony until you actually hold it.
Before taking the magic potion, enter the 'City of Exile' Morola, approach '0-01', leave a mark or complete something, and lay the foundation for mastering it when entering a higher sequence.
“I can’t see exactly what is going to be done yet.
"The above content is simply this: If you show and prove your potential, the Church of Knowledge is willing to support you and the 'Red Angel' Medici to compete for the position of the 'Red Priest'. Are you surprised? Are you excited?"
Surprise? Shock is the right thing! Lumian never really thought that he could become a true god before.
Although his belief is not that devout, he grew up in such a social environment after all, and he has not been in the world of mysticism for a long time, so he is unlikely to have the idea of "I can become a god, and I want to become a god".
Lumian had seen the terror and power of the "Red Angel" Medici in Trier in the Fourth Age.
When he thought about being an enemy of such a being and competing for the position of the "Red Priest", he instinctively felt absurd and thought it had no practical significance: "This is the same as what Aurore said jokingly during the fighting class, 'Okay, you have mastered the basics.
With your fighting skills, you can now kill gods. What is the essential difference?"
As his thoughts flashed, Lumian suddenly whispered to himself: "If I become a true god, can I resurrect Aurore..."
After a moment of silence, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Gods will also fall, and I may not be able to resurrect myself."
"Ms. Magician mentioned that the betrayal curse of 'Arrogance Armor' came from the hatred and hatred of the gods before their fall... But according to the information she provided, 'Arrogance Armor' first appeared in the previous game in the Northern Continent.
At the end of total war, did a true god fall?
"The ability of the Arrogant Armor obviously belongs to the 'Warrior' path... The one who fell was the 'God of War'? But in the Fusac Empire, the Church of the God of War is still doing well, uh, that's what newspapers, magazines and businessmen say. ..."
Lumian thought for a while and came to no conclusion, and then turned his attention to the letter again: "Actually, I never thought about letting you pursue the 'Red Priest' before. I just thought that the angel was sealed, and fate happened. As you change, you hope to become a high-sequence person. Now, if you follow your inner thoughts, our Tarot Club can also provide support.
"In addition, there is one thing to note: "I went around Lundborg and asked several local scholars who are known for their profound knowledge. No one has heard of the 'City of Exile' Morola.
"In the eyes of ordinary people, and even the middle and lower-level clergy of the Church of Knowledge, this is a city that does not exist and has no records."
