In mid-air, above the black "velvet curtain", a crimson full moon hangs high, shining peacefully.
This... Zhou Mingrui was inexplicably frightened, and stood up suddenly, but before his legs could fully straighten, his head throbbed again, which made him temporarily lose strength, his center of gravity fell involuntarily, and his buttocks hit the hardwood hard.
on the chair.
Backlund, No. 45 Gatton Street, West District.
Rawls stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the bloody full moon hanging in the sky, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his palms.
Looking down, the black inverted pyramid mark appeared in the palm of Rawls's hand, then quickly faded and disappeared into the flesh.
"Kline is born!"
Rawls left the window, walked to the desk, and opened the drawer on the lower left side of the desk.
There were two wooden boxes with inscriptions inside the drawer. Rawls took out the two wooden boxes and opened them.
The wooden box is covered with white fine velvet cloth, and there is a five-leaf clover on it. The veins and edges of the five-leaf clover are blood-like deep red, just like human blood vessels.
Another larger wooden box holds an animal horn about 10 centimeters long. The dark gray animal horn is covered with a layer of light yellow amber-like crystals.
This is the solid unicorn crystal of mad grass and earth rhinoceros, and is the main material of Sequence 8 "Barbarian".
It has been more than two years since Rawls became a "lawyer" and he has been traveling through time for three months. The "lawyer" potion was digested one and a half months ago.
Although Rawls has made a wide range of friends in these two months, they are only among ordinary people.
In the world of Beyonders, except for the unreliable gathering of Beyonders introduced by Bird Mustang, the "Viscount of Fear", and the owner of the Iron Anchor Bar, Ken List, he gained almost nothing.
It was not until a month ago that he joined Mr. A's party through the son of a viscount. The second time he attended the party, Rawls had gathered the main materials for "Barbarians".
But he did not choose to be promoted to "Barbarian" immediately, because he still had a mark connected to the Source Castle on his palm. Rawls suspected that with this mark, he might be directly pulled into the Source during the first Tarot session.
Fort.
If he was promoted to Sequence 8 "Barbarian", then there would be two Sequence 8 Beyonders in the first Tarot session. He was worried that Klein, who had just been shot and resurrected, was not spiritually strong enough for the Tarot session to be established.
That would be great fun.
Moreover, he was still busy building his own relationship circle at that time, dealing with those wealthy aristocrats, and since Klein was born in about ten days, he simply planned to take the magic potion after the first Tarot session and be promoted to "
barbarian".
By the time of the second Tarot session, Klein had become a "divineer" and by that time had enough spirituality to serve as the "operating energy" for the Tarot session.
I looked at the pocket watch in my hand and saw that it was already pointing to four-thirty. It was estimated that there were still a few hours before the tarot meeting started, so I could take a rest first.
…
At 6:45, the butler August, wearing a white shirt, black tie and vest, and a pair of pinstriped black trousers, came outside the bedroom of his employer, Rolls Adrian.
The housekeeper August knocked on the bedroom door covered with brown wool felt:
“Tuk tuk tuk”
After knocking three times in a row, but seeing no response from inside, the housekeeper August kept silent for dozens of times before knocking three times in a row:
“Tuk tuk tuk”
Only then did I hear the response from inside.
"Enter."
"Good morning, sir."
Tingen, West District, Iron Cross Street.
Zhou Mingrui was wearing an old yellow coat and a felt hat with a round brim of the same color on his head. He walked out of the apartment with two soles and a few pennies. He put his left hand firmly in his pocket and held tightly the knife that opened his temple.
A revolver with a hole in it.
…
After washing, Rawls put on a light blue dressing gown chosen for him by his valet Morris. Every valet must be at the forefront of fashion trends because they are the master's wardrobe.
Managers. Whether the owner can shine depends on their taste.
The butler August walked into the bedroom carrying a silver plate with breakfast. He took today's breakfast out of the silver plate and placed it on the small dining table near the bed.
Place Filmo coffee, jam jars, bread, grilled bacon and a small cake neatly on the small dining table, take out the ironed newspaper from under the tray, hand it to his employer Rolls, then go to the window and put the
The curtains are opened.
Ironing the newspaper is the first thing the housekeeper does for his master when he gets up. Ironing the newspaper can kill the germs on it and dry the ink in the paper to prevent the master from getting his fingers dirty after reading the newspaper.
"Okay, you go out first!"
Rawls took the newspaper and immediately asked the butler August and the valet Morris to leave the bedroom.
He sat at the dining table and put the newspaper aside. It was a copy of the "Tasok News".
Rawls picked up the knife, spread the jam on the bread, and looked sideways at the "Tasok News" placed aside:
"Retired soldiers lost control of their emotions and took malicious revenge with guns."
When Zhou Mingrui returned home, he took out four loaves of rye bread from the paper bag and placed one in the corner where the coal stove was originally placed, one on the inside of the bottom of the dressing mirror, one on the top of the cabinet where the two walls meet, and one on the desk.
The place on the right where debris is piled.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mingrui came to the center of the room. He calmed down for a few minutes before taking serious steps and walking in a square direction counterclockwise.
After returning to his place after walking, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and waited for the result. He was filled with expectations, uneasiness, hope, and fear.
…
Rawls, who had finished breakfast, locked the bedroom door and sat at his desk quietly reading the words in the "Tasok News":
"At 11 o'clock last night, an incident of wounding someone with a gun occurred on Xuefeng Street in Qorwood District. The person who injured someone with a gun was veteran soldier Vit Gaude. According to the police, the suspect and the injured had a conflict during the day and used a gun at night.
The revolver injured the victim's left arm..."
"It's really interesting."
…
"What's happening here?"
Zhou Mingrui looked around in shock, then lowered his head and found himself floating on the edge of an endless gray mist.
The gray mist flows like water, dotted with dark red "stars". Some of them are large, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.
Looking at this holographic image-like scene, Zhou Mingrui discovered that the light of a dark red star was twinkling. Half in confusion and half in exploration, he stretched out his right hand, trying to touch this dark red "star".
When his fingers just touched the surface of the star, water ripples suddenly poured out from his body, causing "deep red" to explode, like a dreamy firework.
Zhou Mingrui was startled. He retracted his right hand in a panic and stepped back, only to encounter two "crimson" stars on both sides of his body.
As a result, these two "stars" also shined brightly.
As a result, Zhou Mingrui felt his head was empty and his energy was scattered.
