Deep in the Honakis Mountains, in the valley where Tamara originally lived.
Rawls withdrew his gaze from the heptagonal black altar that was nearly ten meters high, and then looked at the black palace on the black rock not far behind the altar. Huge stone pillars supported the hall, and above it
It has a strange chopping pattern.
From the high dome of the main hall, metal rods hang down one after another - their bottom ends are connected to candlesticks carved into different creatures, left 40, right 39. The black and heavy door is tight
It's closed, so you can't see the inside of the palace.
This is the palace built by the Tamara family when they fled here in the early fifth era and chose to re-believe in the "Uncertain Mist". It was originally built to warn the people not to forget the family's glory, and later it became a church. Only people like Yalishi
Only people like this can enter.
After thinking for a while, Rawls turned to the three people in front of him and said:
"Let's start, just like before."
Elder Christo, who looked more than ten years older than the last time we met, touched the half of his beard that was not braided. Most of his white hair was covered by a pointed hood, and his cloudy gray eyes were deep-set.
, the withered lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by the eyes of another "chaos hunter" Laigat Tamara.
This elder didn't look like he had changed much. He was still wearing an old overcoat with a white shirt underneath, his eyebrows were long and drooped, and his face was sad.
He knew what Christo wanted to ask. He also wanted to ask Rawls and Alicia why they suddenly returned without warning and held a ceremony to select the scrollers. But he could ask the latter privately later, there was no need.
Point it out directly.
"OK".
Seeing Elder Laigat nodding, Rawls turned around and walked towards the black hall, with no intention of going up to the altar and waiting as required by the ritual.
Every time he took a step, he looked about ten meters tall. His figure sometimes resembled a lake, and sometimes became clear. After a few breaths, he stood on the open ground between the altar and the main hall.
"The ceremony can begin." A majestic and deep voice echoed.
Elder Laigat and Elder Christo looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Alicia. The scroller of "Uncertain Mist" had already walked to one of the seven stairs on the black altar.
Prepare to climb the stairs.
After the two elders looked at each other again, they flashed and retreated more than ten meters away from the altar. They raised their arms, moved their lips, and recited a mantra. This mantra did not belong to any occult language in the current world.
, but it seems to be the source of all languages. Even if you have not studied it, you can still understand the meaning.
"Eternal chaos
“You are the master of the kingdom of disorder;”
"The shadow of order incarnate;"
"We ask for your help."
"We pray for your care."
"Bless your followers!"
As the two elders chanted the incantation, the two of them lay on the ground. The sound of the chanting was not loud but it exerted some kind of power. The runes on the altar suddenly changed, like mist that gathered indefinitely, surrounding them.
The platform turned.
Alicia started to climb up the altar step by step. She walked very quickly at first, but when she reached the seventh step, she paused for a second or two on each step before taking the next step.
In less than a minute, she had already climbed onto the altar, with the three-story altar in front of her. But she did not climb up like before, but sat down cross-legged in front of the altar.
Although the two elders continued to pray, the door of the black hall was still closed, and there was no response.
Rawls looked up at the sky, raised the corners of his mouth, and prayed in a low voice:
“A fool who is not of this age;
“The mysterious master above the gray fog;
"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck..."
After he finished reciting the third paragraph of the honorary name, he arrived in front of the black hall in a flash. The heavy black stone door had opened and closed again after Rawls entered.
In the main hall, Rawls was already sitting on the iron-black chair that could accommodate almost a dozen of him lying side by side. His eyelids were drooped and he couldn't see his eyes.
The next second, a wisp of pale and illusory mist emerged from his body, and then, the endless mist poured out overwhelmingly, covering the black dome, turning the interior of the hall into a sea of fog, very much like that.
A white mist space.
Slowly opening his eyes, Rawls stretched out the palm of his right hand when he saw the scene in front of him. After about a minute or two, the black inverted pyramid mark appeared, but the light was extremely dim, and disappeared after a few seconds.
Sure enough, "Origin Castle" is not omnipotent, at least not for Klein who has not yet been promoted to demigod.
This black hall should be the only church belonging to the "Uncertain Mist" in this world, and even the entire universe. Its status is equal to or even greater than the Serenity Church of the Night Goddess and the Storm Abyss Church of the Lord of Storms. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to the True God.
Kingdom of God.
Although "Origin Castle" surpasses the gods in terms of status, its power is ultimately in the hands of Klein. When he stole the "Antigonus Family Notes" behind the Chanis Gate and was imprisoned in the foggy town
, can't contact "Origin Castle", how can they pull Rawls into the gray fog!
After this time, maybe I can try to refuse entry to "Origin Castle"?
Rawls had this vague feeling during his first Tarot session after he was promoted to Demigod. At that time, he felt that "Origin Castle" was rejecting him. If he wanted to, he should be able to refuse the summons, but
That could easily arouse Klein's suspicion.
Now, even if he is suspected, he can still put the blame entirely on the "mist of uncertainty".
Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to participate in the Tarot Club, but he needs a proof that he was selected by the "Fog of Uncertainty" and that he has begun cooperation with the Tamara family. In this way, when it comes to questions about Augustus
You will no longer be doubted, but will gain trust.
There are gains and losses. If he has gained trust in this aspect, Rawls will definitely be doubted by Klein regarding the "Uncertain Mist" and the Tamara family. The only thing he is not sure about now is that after knowing the Tarot Society
What is the attitude of Mr. "Fool" after a member becomes a scroller of another god?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the black inverted pyramid mark that lit up again on the palm of his hand, Rawls smiled and shook his head.
What a perseverance!
But the more this happens, the more it shows that Klein attaches more importance to him. Haha, it is very possible for an Augustus demigod who does not want to see George III become the "Black Emperor" and the core members of the Tarot Society suddenly disappear.
After encountering an unexpected incident, he must have a headache now, right?
I wonder how many traps I have arranged for him, how many of them can he step into?
…
Above the gray fog, Klein, who had tried countless times to contact Mr. "Emperor", failed again. Fortunately, the results of divination regarding the life and death of the other party have always failed, which means that the worst result has probably not happened yet.
.
In the midst of so many attempts, Klein, who calmed down, also discovered some doubts.
Based on Mr. "Emperor"'s character and his performance in this week's Tarot meeting, he is obviously mentally prepared for his adventure and knows what he is going to do. But Miss "Magician"'s report shows that this
It was just an accident. The MI9 member captured by Alicia Tamara just happened to discover that the "Magician"'s friend had changed his appearance.
In this way, there are three results.
First, the captured MI9 member and Mr. "Emperor" are not the same person. They just happened to happen at the same time. The three-digit honorific name that Klein heard is not the support behind the Tamara family.
But another person, such as the djinn...
Second, Mr. "Emperor", who is a high-ranking member of MI9, has already discovered the problem of "Magician"'s friend. He followed the clues and found out that it was related to the Tamara family. Then, by taking the initiative to expose himself, this risky move and
Get in touch with Tamara.
The possibility of these two results is very small, and both have problems. The former is too coincidental, and the latter is inconsistent with Miss Magician’s report. Klein does not believe that Mr. “Emperor” can be a god.
Hiding her true thoughts in front of her, even though Alicia might have said it deliberately, it doesn't mean much.
In addition, Mr. "Emperor"'s adventure is obviously related to the "Immortal King".
The third result is also somewhat coincidental, but Klein feels that this does make sense.
It is known that Mr. "Emperor" is going to take a potentially life-threatening adventure. As a senior executive of MI9, of course he should make preparations, such as returning to the MI9 headquarters and applying for a sealed artifact?
Mr. "Emperor" said before that MI9 has a sealed artifact team, and the person in charge of this team is Qonas Kilger, the deputy director who killed "Crazy Captain" Connors Victor.
But in the process, I happened to discover the problem of Miss "Magician"'s friend, and ran over to follow her on a whim, but accidentally met Alicia, the demigod of the Tamara family. One was unintentional, and the other was somewhat prepared.
, with the current results, it is very possible.
Klein rubbed his face and tried to contact Mr. "Emperor" and divination again, but the result was still a failure. This long-term consumption has consumed most of his spirituality, so he had to simulate the weight of falling at a rapid speed.
Feeling like returning to the real world.
He first tried to meditate on the stacked light balls to calm down the fatigue caused by spiritual consumption. After the state was relieved, he did not want to restore his spirituality through sleep as before, but turned on the gas lamp and sat at the table.
Mr. "Emperor"'s current problem forced him to start thinking about how to explain to the other members of the Tarot Society if the other party really encountered something unexpected.
In fact, as the "Fool", there is no problem even if Klein does not explain, but this will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the Tarot Club members. This is extremely detrimental to the Tarot Club in its infancy and will make the members
Be suspicious of Mr. Fool.
Alas, this is the biggest disadvantage of ending up personally. Unlike other gods, there is a church as a platform in the middle.
Klein sighed and fell into thinking again.
First of all, the next Tarot session is less than a week away, so we definitely can’t give up on saving Mr. “Emperor”. But be careful, be careful about the existence of the three paragraphs of honorable names pointing to during this process.
Although there is a channel factor, Amon, as the King of Angels, can plan this gray fog space through the small "sun", not to mention that this is very likely to be a god, or even an existence that transcends gods.
If something goes wrong, other members of the Tarot Society may also be in danger.
If Mr. "Emperor" is still unable to be contacted during this period, then an explanation must be given to other members, and this explanation cannot be too specific, otherwise there will be no way to make up for other accidents later.
Klein looked around, and driven by his spiritual intuition, he opened the drawer, took out a pen and paper, and started sketching on the paper. He had to consider the thoughts of each member.
As he wrote, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and then he realized that the potion of his "Secret Puppet Master" was further digested. Every member of the Tarot Club has his own ideas and differences.
The same goes for marionettes. Since they are on stage, they must abide by their respective roles.
After having this feeling, Klein started writing faster. He didn't put down his writing until midnight and went back to bed to rest. Before that, he also came above the gray fog and tried again, but he still ended in failure.
.
…
In the valley deep in the Honakis Mountains, Alicia had come down from the altar and stared at the closed black palace with the two elders.
The ritual just now was naturally of no use. They even doubted that Rawls could enter the temple even without the ritual.
"Alysia..."
Elder Christo, who was still old and almost ready to collapse at any moment, was the first to speak, but as soon as he spoke, he saw Alicia shaking her head.
"I don't know what he wanted to do or why he did it."
"But..." Christo asked again, but this time he was stopped by another elder, Laigat.
Laigat squeezed out a smile on his sad face and patted the other party on the shoulder:
"Well, anyway, isn't the current situation very good for us?"
Rawls's ascension to the throne at the wedding was an excellent thing for the two angel families, Tamara and Abraham. They saw hope and a future where the family could be like other people without fear.
Under Laigat's persuasion, Elder Christo shut his mouth. Seeing that the black palace had not changed for a long time, the two left together, with only Alicia still standing in front of the altar.
She did not look at the backs of the two elders as they left, just like her answer just now. She did not know what Rawls was thinking, but she knew what happened before, but she did not say it.
As a scroller of the "Uncertain Mist", although her surname is Tamara, she is not taken seriously by the Tamara tribe. In fact, this is true for every scroller, and most of them are Tamara.
An orphan from the Mara family.
Before meeting Rawls, she could only rely on the Tamara family, but now she will only choose to side with Rawls.
