Klein frowned as he lay on the bed and fell asleep. He opened his eyes reluctantly, rolled up a thin blanket covering his body, and tapped his forehead lightly with the heel of his palm to wake himself up quickly.
He got up. Waves of illusory and disturbing prayers echoed in his ears, and the four black dot marks on his right hand also reappeared.
Male prayers? "The Sun" or "The Hanged Man"? Why did they suddenly come to me?
Shaking his head violently, Klein got up from the bed. After confirming that the bedroom door was closed, he sealed the room with his spirituality and reversed four steps to reach above the gray fog.
He cast his gaze towards the crimson stars above the gray mist and found that the crimson star symbolizing the "Emperor" was shrinking and expanding. Klein did not immediately spread his spirituality. He folded his arms and leaned back on his chair.
Back. If it was "The Sun" or "The Hanged Man", he would immediately connect to the screen, but "Emperor" was different. He had almost never actively prayed, and unlike "The Sun" and "The Hanged Man", he was almost inaccessible.
High-sequence strong person.
The "Emperor" may have a high-sequence strongman protecting him, and he himself knows a lot of occult knowledge. There is almost nothing that can trouble the "Fool". If there is a problem that he cannot solve by himself, then Klein can solve it.
The possibility is very low.
Klein shook his head. No matter what, he still had to listen. If he couldn't do it, he could only drag it. He stretched out his hand and spread his spirituality to touch the crimson star that represented the "Emperor".
"You are a fool who does not belong to this age;"
"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"
"You are the yellow and black king of good luck."
“I pray for your attention;”
"I beseech you to hear me;"
…
"...I hope to obtain the blood of deep-sea marlin as soon as possible, preferably before Sunday. Please forward my request to Mr. 'The Hanged Man' and I will increase the corresponding reward..."
Klein, who was sitting at the top of the long bronze table, breathed a sigh of relief. It had nothing to do with him. He rested his elbows on the table in an ungrateful manner, pushed his waist upwards, stretched out, and took a squirt.
After yawning, he skillfully threw the "Emperor"'s prayer screen to the "Hanged Man".
Because he still had to wait for the reply from "The Hanged Man", Klein did not return to reality immediately. After being disturbed by the "Emperor", his sleepiness dissipated a little. He looked at the deep star corresponding to "The Hanged Man".
Hong didn't respond yet, he just leaned on the table and complained:
"That is to say, I have few believers now, so I can serve one-on-one, and even as the 'Fool' I have to wait for believers to respond... I don't know if the seven orthodox gods also treated believers in this way when the church was first founded. However,
As gods, they should have many means to deal with the prayers of believers, otherwise they will be annoyed to death sooner or later."
However, why is the "Emperor" suddenly so eager to get the blood of deep-sea marlin? He has not shown any desire for the blood of deep-sea marlin before? Isn't he afraid of the lion of "The Hanged Man" opening his mouth? Before Sunday...
Is Sunday a special day?
Although an extraordinary creature like the deep-sea marlin lives in the sea, it has a huge business. Even the "Emperor" who can mobilize high-sequence extraordinary beings can't get it? Or is it that he doesn't want people to know that he has obtained the blood of the deep-sea marlin?
I remember that "The Hanged Man" seemed to have given the blood of the deep-sea marlin at an estimated price of 10ml and 200 pounds. The "Emperor" asked for 20ml. If this is the main ingredient of the potion formula, then the potion should correspond to Sequence 8, but "
The "Emperor" can't be Sequence 8! For his subordinates? Then there is no need for him to find it himself, he can just find someone... Unless the person who needs this potion is very important to him!
But I don’t even know who the “Emperor” is or what he does.
The sleepiness gradually rising in his body made Klein completely paralyzed, and his upper body lay directly on the table, as if it was a warm bed.
The deep red star representing the "Hanged Man" finally responded and began to expand and contract regularly. Klein got up. Even though no one saw him, he arranged his clothes and reached out to touch the deep red star.
red.
In the hazy picture, the "Hanged Man" with his head lowered leaned forward, holding his hands against his forehead in a praying posture:
"...I will get the deep-sea marlin blood as soon as possible, but I can't guarantee it before Sunday."
After receiving the reply from "The Hanged Man", Klein no longer had the time to think about the purpose of the "Emperor". He threw the reply screen at the crimson color representing "Emperor" and returned to reality to continue catching up on his sleep.

As one of the two most famous universities in the Kingdom of Loen, Tingen University covers a very large area, so most of the colleges and dormitories are generally one or two-story buildings. But this does not mean how short these buildings are.
For example, the Tingen University Art Museum in front of Rawls has only two floors, but it is more than ten meters high.
More than a dozen huge gray-white stone pillars rise from the ground, and seven arches of different sizes are embossed with various figures. The roof rises abruptly and is sharpened. The windows on the second floor do not use colored glass, but are uniformly transparent glass.
Let light better enter the interior of the art museum.
The largest arch in the middle has been opened, and people coming to visit have already lined up. Students from Tingen University maintain order. Tingen is a "university city", and the number of students studying here has already
It accounts for more than one-fifth of the city and has a high level of acceptance of arts such as painting and sculpture.
What's more, the person holding the painting exhibition today is Stephen Mossus, who is recognized as the world's top painter. He is good at landscape paintings that are not appreciated by the nobles. He is good at observing the subtle relationships between light, water vapor, and air, and depicting them. In
In his works, even the plants, sea and sky without emotions seem to have human emotions.
Three years ago, Stephen Mossos left his hometown of Backlund, came to Ahova County, and stayed temporarily in the port of Enmatt, not far from Tingen. What is on display today is his achievements in the past three years.
, a series of landscape exhibitions about the port of Enmatt, and his exploration of the new school of painting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As an invitee, Rawls, who holds the invitation card, naturally does not have to line up outside the door, but is accompanied by Stephen Mossus and invited to come
guests visited his painting exhibition together.
Stephen, who was walking at the front, was still pale, but he was obviously a little more rosy. It seemed that even for a top painter like him, it was worth being excited to hold his own painting exhibition in one of the two most famous universities in the Kingdom of Loen.
One thing. As long as he conquers the students of this school, it means that people from the middle class society and above recognize his artistic level.
Gu Tong
His writer apprentice, the handsome-faced Daniel Eliot, followed him. His blue eyes were as dull as his, and he still wore the ruby ring on his little finger. He lowered his head and remained silent, obviously not as good as before.
It took several days for Stephen to recover from the blow.
Stephen raised his gold-rimmed glasses with the heel of his palm, his blue eyes a little excited, the corners of his mouth curved, and he stopped in front of a painting.
This painting depicts a fisherman fishing on the sea on a moonlit night. There are dense dark clouds in the sky. There is not a single star. There is only a red moon emitting blood-colored light. The waves on the sea are beating against a small boat. On the small boat, there are many old people.
The fisherman held up a lantern, which glowed faintly yellow under the bloody light.
Under the faint light of the lantern, under the bloody glow, the fisherman's wrinkled face was reflected in two colors, one warm and warm, the other gloomy and cold. His two turbid eyes were also dyed in two colors. Yellow and
Blood red. Under the small boat, blurry shadows appeared in the blue, almost black water, like fishermen's catch, or like monsters in the depths of the sea.
Rawls has received relevant education, but it is not much different from the public's aesthetics. In the previous paintings of Mossus exhibition, he nodded and praised them to make himself less obtrusive.
But in front of this painting, he frowned and glanced at the guests who had praised it before. Apparently, like Rawls, they felt that this painting was a bit strange, and it seemed that the style was somewhat different from the previous paintings.
A middle-aged man with an obvious artistic flair, gray hair and beard, and wearing a gray cotton peaked cap spoke:
"This painting has made great progress in the processing of light compared to the previous ones. The refraction of the moonlight in the dark clouds is very impressive, especially the crimson moonlight and the warm light of the lanterns both merge and separate..."
Junqu Pavilion
After he opened his mouth, several guests spoke up to express their appreciation one after another, but they were no different from the middle-aged man. They basically praised the light, dark clouds, and fisherman's wrinkles, but they were not impressed by the strange face and expression of the fisherman in the painting.
The shadow in the sea was not mentioned at all, unlike before where I couldn't wait to admire every detail.
Hearing the praise in his ears, Rawls' eyes did not stay on the painting, but looked at the painting's author Stephen Mossos. His thin and pale face still had a bit of blood, and his gold thread
The rimmed glasses shone under the refraction of the sunlight above his head, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly. The faintly raised arc at the corners of his mouth seemed to be gradually smoothing out.
In front of the previous paintings, even though those people were trying their best to praise Stephen's painting skills, he still remained calm and only responded with a polite smile. But before coming to this painting, there was something wrong at the corner of Stephen's mouth.
Curvature, it is obvious that this painting is his proud work.
A few seconds after Rawls' eyes fell on the painter Stephen, Stephen turned to look at him. The blue eyes under his glasses looked at him with interest, as if with some expectation, hoping that Rawls would comment.
Rawls, who was standing at the back of the crowd, relaxed his frowned eyebrows. After a painter finished praising him, he took a few steps forward and spoke in a low voice that could be heard by everyone present:
"I think this painting, in addition to the light, the shadows under the sea are also very clever. For fishermen, in addition to the wind and waves on the sea, the number of fish caught on the seabed and the monsters lurking on the seabed are also what the fisherman is most concerned about.
In addition to describing the fisherman's physical reaction when faced with wind and waves, the painting also depicts his psychological reaction. He is afraid that the wind and waves will overturn his boat, is also afraid of catching too few fish, and is afraid of whether there will be underwater monsters in the middle of the night.
Attack... Therefore, the sea is not only the sea in reality, but also the sea in the heart of the fisherman."
An abnormal blush appeared on Stephen's thin and pale face, and his blue eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses were also filled with a bit of crazy excitement. He used the heel of his palm to push his eyes that had fallen slightly again, as if he wanted to get to know Luo again.
Same as Els:
"Mr. Adrian, you also study psychology! Ah, I forgot, you are a barrister, so you naturally have to consider the other party's psychological changes when defending..."
His tone was very excited, even a little crazy. His expression naturally let the guests know about Stephen's wonderful strokes in this painting. They also knew about Stephen and knew that he had studied psychology and further studied at Backlund Medical College.
Afterwards, they all praised the painting from a psychological perspective.
Their praise obviously made Stephen break away from his crazy excitement. He glanced at Rawls in the crowd and continued to maintain his calm expression, as if those people were not praising him.
Rawls said nothing and continued to blend into the crowd. He didn't know much about painting, but he had a certain understanding of psychology. In Russell's diary that he got from Mr. A's party, there were relevant experiences exchanged between Russell and Hermes.
records, but the emperor hoped to obtain the method to unlock his second son Bonova Gustave from Hermes.
But Bonova is not a psychological problem, but the influence of the God of Steam and Machinery. The divinity suppresses the human form. Unless the Emperor and the God of Steam reach an agreement, even the human sage and the angel of Sequence 2 will have "insight"
Even Hermes couldn't solve it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Feeling that there are eyes on him, Rawls turned his attention to Daniel Elliot who was following Stephen. His handsome face was expressionless,
The lifeless blue eyes looked at Rawls with some sympathy, and then lowered his head.
This guy was hit hard. Is this training from the "audience"?
Glancing at Daniel who lowered his head and followed Stephen like a pet dog, Rawls rubbed his chin. He suspected that Stephen was an Extraordinary of the "Audience" pathway, but he didn't know if he came from the Psychological Alchemy Society. He concluded that Stephen was not a Sequence
The "mind reader" of Sequence 7 is the "psychiatrist" of Sequence 7, and the latter is more likely.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Stephen is of a higher order. After all, the "audience" is the son of the version, and it is a profession that cannot be played without cutting it. Otherwise, how could Squid Girl be willing to become a "writer"?
Rawls and others who were invited came quickly finished browsing. Even though Stephen is a top painter and this exhibition is a series of his three-year works, there are still only more than 20 paintings.
…
Looking at Daniel Elliot who was more timid than the previous few days, even though Stephen was no longer with him, he still looked a little frightened, even a little confused, and at a loss. He lowered his head and muttered:
"Mr. Mossos also has to receive guests who will attend the exhibition later, so he can't accompany you... In two days, he will hold a small banquet at his home. I hope you can come..."
"I'm going back."
Looking at Daniel who quickly ran back to Mossus, Rawls shook his head. He had nothing to deal with recently. Uncle Edmund Robert had sent five solicitors to deal with Lincoln College.
When discussing the relevant details of the cooperation agreement, he only needs to make a decision.
But today is already Sunday, the full moon is coming, and I don’t know if Alger can get the blood of the deep-sea marlin.
