Sure enough! It is the rumored deck of cards that Emperor Russell made that hides the path to God. It is the so-called prototype of the Tarot card! "Black Emperor" refers to the sequence 0 of the "Lawyer" path? This one corresponds to "
The path to becoming a god through the path of "lawyer"? Mr. "Fool" has been collecting Russell's diary, it seems, just to find clues about the deck of cards, and in just a few months, she has already obtained one...
…
Alger was surprised and happy, excited and excited. He had already learned from his previous communication with "The World" that Sequence 0 was the sequence where the True God was located, and that it could also be promoted through the corresponding magic potions and rituals.
Suddenly, he felt inexplicably that the future of the "Tarot Society" was extremely bright.
Before, he was just in awe of Mr. Fool's mystery and power, and only had the purpose of exchanging information and items with the so-called "Tarot Society", but now, he began to imagine that Emperor Russell's cards were used by Mr. Fool.
After collecting them one by one, you and other members will get the benefits.
By then, the Tarot Society may have become the most powerful secret organization! Alger, the "Hanged Man," couldn't help but look forward to the future.
Even if he is not an "audience", Klein can still see the excitement of "The Hanged Man" from his reaction. But when he looked at Mr. "Emperor" in a vague way, he found that the "Emperor's" reaction did not seem to be very enthusiastic.
, and even made him feel that he had guessed the sequence of Mr. "Emperor" wrong.
The "Black Emperor" card is placed on the right hand side of Mr. "The Fool", and Rawls is sitting on the right side of the long bronze table, which means that he only needs to lower his head slightly to see the "blasphemous card".
He didn't seem too anxious. This kind of knowledge transaction is difficult to measure by price, especially high-level knowledge, which has a price but no market.
Alger, the "Hanged Man" who had already calmed down, quickly scanned the audience and found that he was the only one who had too many reactions to the "Black Emperor" card, while almost everyone else was calm.
"The Sun" is in the "Forsaken Land" and doesn't know what the "blasphemous cards" are; "The Emperor" has MI9 behind him, and he is a calm guy, even if he knew it, he would not reveal too many flaws; as for the remaining people
, even if you have heard of it, you probably don’t know what it means...
Alger, who thought he had figured out the other members clearly, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I recently took on an investigation mission. I wonder if you have any corresponding clues."
"In the past two or three years, in the southern continent, many indigenous tribes have been plundered and everyone was kidnapped. In various plantations and islands on the sea, some slaves have also strangely escaped."
"After the countries in the Northern Continent abolished the slave trade, this kind of thing has not happened for a long time. Have you heard the corresponding news?"
His eyes swept over the "Emperor", "Justice", "Magician" and "The World", but did not look at the "Sun".
How can a young man who is trapped in the land abandoned by God in Silver City know what is going on in the outside world!
"Justice" Audrey carefully recalled the few words she usually heard at noble gatherings, and after a while she said:
"No, I haven't even heard of anything like that."
“Magician” Forsi and “The World” shook their heads.
"Emperor" Rawls turned slightly sideways, frowned and said:
"Has the Church of Storms also noticed this?"
Forsi pricked up his ears. It turned out that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was from the Church of Storms! Then how could he believe in Mr. "Fool"? Isn't he afraid of the thunderous punishment of the Lord of Storms?
Derrick was also a little surprised. He already knew about the seven major churches and the seven righteous gods, but he did not expect that since there were members of the "Church of Storms" in the party held by Mr. Fool, this was a relationship between the gods.
Game?
Audrey was not particularly surprised. As a veteran of the "Tarot Society", she had some guesses about the identity of Mr. "The Hanged Man".
Klein was also a little surprised, and quickly manipulated "The World" to respond. The first three members of the Tarot Club all had speculations about their respective identities, but they never mentioned it directly. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding.
Alger's expression suddenly turned cold and he hummed:
"Is MI9 also investigating this matter?"
Since the "Emperor" has pointed out his identity, don't hide your own identity.
Rawls didn't have any special response. Not to mention that this identity was fake. Before this, "Justice" had revealed his identity in his words. The newly added "world" was just Crane's vest. This identity
There is no need to hide at all.
"The clues are actually very obvious. Since the purpose of those people is to plunder the population and they are in the Southern Continent, they will not keep the plundered population in the Southern Continent. They must be transported to the Northern Continent. Since the countries in the Northern Continent
The slave trade has been abolished, and even if this matter is related to them, official ships will not be used, and pirates must be involved."
Klein nodded slightly. This kind of thing cannot be done under the official banner. Even the merchant ships would not be involved in this kind of thing. Otherwise, they would be sure to find out. If those pirates are used, even if they are found, the pirates can be believed.
Of?
"It's hard to find traces of those pirates. Even if we have narrowed down the target range, it's still very difficult to find them." Alger's expression softened, but he was a little distressed.
The ocean that separates the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent is called the Violent Sea. It is famous for its numerous natural disasters and dangerous currents. However, more than a hundred years ago, Emperor Russell sent people to explore several relatively safe waterways. Countless people visited them every day.
Ships sail on these waterways.
This is only the route between the northern and southern continents. We also need to consider the dozens of ports in the southern continent. It is too difficult to find ships transporting people among them.
"Then find some pirates related to human trafficking. If they have nothing to do with human plunder in the southern continent, then find the buyers and sellers who often trade with them. If you search one by one, you can always find them. Even if you can't find them,
For the Church of Storms, nothing will be lost."
Rawls leaned back in his chair, lowered his head and looked at his hands, his tone was dull. Although this method cannot find the real murderer immediately, as long as there are not enough people to build the tomb, he will definitely be able to find it. However, the bad-tempered people of the Storm Church
Can the guy hold on, but...
"But if I remember correctly, every 'Punisher' team has a 'Reader'. Find a Sequence 8 'Deduction Student' or a Sequence 7 'Detective', and the investigation should be quick.
"
Alger nodded with a strange expression:
"I will report it to the superior."
Although Audrey and Fors were very interested in the configuration of the "Punisher", they thought it involved the internal arrangements of the Church of Storms and wisely did not ask further questions.
Klein glanced at "The Hanged Man". As a former "Nighthawk", he knew that the Church of Storms was configured for certain ritual magics, just like "Nighthawks" would have a "divineer" and a "secret voyeur".
Just like people, it should be considered that "sailors" are all violent and impulsive guys.
Rawls also once thought about how people like "The Hanged Man" were cultivated in a place like the Church of Storms, whether all the thoughts of the "Sailor" path were given to him, and whether he felt that his
Even if your boss is not smart enough to become a bishop, and a cardinal, you must be able to do better, so why would you have such a big ambition?
After slandering Alger, Rawls glanced at The Fool, cleared his throat and said:
"I can give you a clue. There is a man named Kaping in Backlund. He is a rich man in the Jowood District and has been controversial. It is said that he is related to the disappearance of many girls. He sells those girls to brothels, but there are not enough
The evidence is there, and there are many big names behind him.”
Forsi knew something about Capin, but Audrey asked in disbelief:
"So you just let Kapin continue? Who is behind him? Is it a noble or a parliamentarian? If you are under pressure from those people, I, I can help."
As the favored daughter of Earl Hall, although Audrey realized the cruelty of the world after joining the Tarot Society, she still did not change her original intention, just like she chose "Justice" as her code name! Even so, maybe
Her identity will be exposed, but what's so scary about that!
"The Fool" Klein looked at "Justice" approvingly. Among the Tarot Society, she may be the only one who would do it without hesitation. As a woman of noble origin, she may be a little squeamish, but she can't hide it.
A righteous heart.
But he remembered Cappin. When he was investigating serial murders, he had protected reporter Mike and went to the Golden Rose. There he heard Cappin's name. Detective Essinger Stanton also told him about Cappin's name.
Relevant circumstances.
If "The Hanged Man" Alger didn't think about "justice", he was now thinking about whether the "Emperor" asking him to check Kaping would be leaving trouble on him that he couldn't solve.
Mr. "Emperor" is a member of MI9, and he may be a middle-level or high-level person. He thinks that the people behind Kapin are big shots. So, as a guy who is not even a bishop, he is asking for trouble.
Faced with "Justice"'s inquiry, Rawls waved his hand helplessly and said:
"If evidence is produced, those people will not cover up Kapin, but if they want to arrest him without evidence, they will never be willing. Although I don't know which noble lady you are from, even if you are a princess, I want to
It is also very difficult to put pressure on those people.
You can only do this unless you inherit the family and inherit the title, but the primogeniture system is there. There are so few female nobles in the House of Lords. Even the most favored daughter cannot inherit the family, right?"
Luen implements the primogeniture inheritance system instead of the eldest son inheritance law. This was obtained through the struggle of the Church of the Night Goddess, so that daughters are also qualified to inherit the family property, but the conditions are harsh.
Take the current Kingdom of Loon as an example. The king is George III. He has three sons and two daughters. The age order is Prince Govington, the eldest son, Prince Charlie, the second son, Princess Delina, the eldest daughter, Princess Edsac, the third son, and Princess Edsac, the fourth son.
His son is Prince David. Except for his eldest son, Winton, who is married and has given birth to a daughter, the rest of the princes and princesses are not married.
According to the order of succession, after the four princes in order of age is the eldest daughter Delina, although Prince David is only seven years old this year. After that is the daughter of Govington, but if Govington has a son, then his son will inherit.
The order is before the second son Prince Charlie.
As a daughter, Princess Delina's order of succession will only be before the daughter of Govington and after the sons of all princes. (Inheritance is very important!!!)
Audrey had long been out of the "audience" state, and after listening to Mr. "Emperor"'s words, her mood gradually became depressed. She was not unaware of this. She had already experienced the cruelty of political struggle, but it was still difficult to accept it.
She is now somewhat glad that she does not have to inherit the title and family, otherwise it would be difficult for her to imagine what she would become. Will she still speak like she does today?
After Rawls' words, the audience fell silent. Alger was still thinking about whether there was a trap, Audrey was in a low mood, Klein couldn't speak, and Forsi thought of his father...
When Derrick "The Sun" saw everyone was silent, he hesitated for a while, then raised his hand uneasily and spoke:
"I have been assigned a mission to explore the semi-destroyed temple mentioned before in the short term. Well, it is the one of 'Fallen Creator'."
"The leader in charge of this operation is Elder Lovia the Shepherd."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Suggestion? My suggestion is to hide as far away as possible and focus on stability... Hearing the question of "The Sun", Klein immediately answered in his mind.
However, in order to maintain the image of the "Fool" and see what other people would suggest differently, he remained silent and did not manipulate the "world" to speak.
After a brief silence, Alger, the Hanged Man, put aside his inner thoughts, looked sideways at the Sun, and said in a low voice:
"The information you provided is too little, and it is difficult for us to give useful opinions."
“We don’t know what else exists in the half-ruined temple besides the strange statue of the ‘True Creator’, that is, the ‘Fallen Creator’, so naturally there is no way to analyze the corresponding situation.
Derrick nodded, looked at it for a few seconds and said:
"In addition to the statues of gods, there are also many incomplete murals there, and there are terrible evil spirits lingering there. However, these have been eliminated by the exploration team led by the two elders of the six-person council..."
"I have not seen those murals with my own eyes. They are said to record the prophecies of the end of the world and the salvation of believers by the 'Fallen Creator', as well as the corresponding bloody sacrificial rituals..."
"In the corner of a certain mural, there are strange words derived from Giant language. After rough deciphering, several elders believe that they mean:"
"Redemption Rose."
"This may be the code name of the original mural creator, or it may be the name of the organization that built the temple and the city-state where it is located."
"According to the chief judge, these murals are at least a thousand years old."
Audrey, who had recovered from the depression just now, re-entered the "audience" state and listened carefully to "The Sun"'s speech. However, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Mr. "Emperor" had obvious emotions after hearing "Redemption Rose".
reaction, does he understand what it is?
But isn’t that the record of “The Land Abandoned by God”? It’s something that’s more than a thousand years old!
