This is the fifth time that the "Tarot Club" has been convened, and a default fixed process has generally been formed.
The party started with members submitting Russell's diary, which was read by "The Fool"; then came the trading session; and then came the chatting stage.
During the transaction, Valeera showed the mark brought back by Burton, proving that she had reached the agreement on the transaction.
After Alger confirmed that it was correct, he presented the formula of the "Sailor" potion and handed it to Valeela, completing the transaction and also letting Klein get a complete potion formula for free.
Of course, during the transaction, his mood was quite complicated.
Alger estimated that it would take more than a month for him to go to sea this time.
Although all the materials have been gathered, it still takes so long to actually complete the promotion. Of course, the mood is not much better.
Especially when he knew the "acting method" but didn't know that he could act in advance, one can imagine his anxiety.
The "Tarot Society" is still in its infancy, and there is almost no transaction link. After completing Alger's transaction, the party automatically entered the chatting stage.
At this time, Alger had already adjusted his emotions.
He thought about it, but still couldn't help but want to test Mr. Fool, so he looked sideways at the top of the long bronze table and asked:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to ask one thing. Is the 'Sanctuary' of the True Creator promoted by the Aurora Society the legendary 'Land Abandoned by God'?"
Alger didn't know that for the mysterious "Fool", this problem was greatly out of scope.
Klein thought for a few seconds and replied in a calm tone:
"That's not something you should know right now."
Alger's heart tightened, and he immediately bowed his head and apologized, "Please forgive me for my slight transgression."
After that, he didn't dare to speak at all.
Piero has always maintained an attitude of neither far nor near, participating in the "Tarot Club" but not deeply participating in it. He only does what is necessary and naturally has no desire to speak.
In the end, it was Valeera who found a piece of news to share and held on to the situation.
The news she said was that the "Aurora Society" seemed to be carrying out missionary activities in the dock area of Backlund.
In response, Alger replied:
"This is a normal phenomenon. In the East End and Dockside area of Backlund, there are many people who are willing to do anything for money. For them, who have had enough to eat, belief in the evil god is just a small thing."
Although his answer was a little off-topic, Alger's words still touched Klein's heart.
He recalled the experience of living in the "Middle Street" of Iron Cross Street in his previous memory, and found that the lives of those who lived in the real Lower Street were indeed similar to what Alger described.
He concealed his emotions and ended the party calmly.
Because he had mastered the formula of the "Joker" potion, Klein worked hard to overcome his lazy thoughts and went to the "Divination Club" on Halls Street to perform.
Therefore, he met Megoos, who was chosen as the mother body by the "Scammer" Lanervus and was already pregnant with the heir of the "True Creator".
Of course, because it didn't fit the "plot" arrangement, Klein didn't immediately notice the problem.
…
After leaving above the gray mist this time, Valeela temporarily left the Tarot Society.
Because of her previous efforts, her life has basically become stable.
During the day, she is a learned, etiquette, and slightly arrogant young lady with a fairly noble status;
She maintained a high-society life, selectively attending balls and afternoon teas, and gradually entering the social circle of the aristocracy.
At night, she is a witch who spreads joy and suffering. Among the victims, she already has the title of "Phantom Black Queen".
This comes from the playing card "Q of Spades" that she displays every time she performs a pretending action.
Of course, this title is only limited to a small range.
Moreover, people who know the "Phantom Black Queen" have different attitudes towards her.
People who have been truly affected by the "Phantom Black Queen" love and hate her, want and fear her at the same time.
They not only miss the top experience in that short period of time, but also hate the tedium of ordinary life.
People who have heard of the "Phantom Black Queen" only have high expectations for her.
They carry the "Q of Spades" card with them and go to the "Yanbin Building" every day, hoping to encounter the "Phantom Black Queen" and become a victim.
It's like a siege.
People inside want to get out, and people outside want to get in.
From the 17th to the 27th, the performance in just ten days actually involved no more than a hundred victims, which may be less than one-tenth of the regular customers of the "Yanbin Building", but the "famousness" is far more than this. degree.
Therefore, Valeera decided to find a new place to play.
During this period, Audrey found an opportunity to meet her, and took advantage of the opportunity to return the notes to make some insinuations.
Because after reciting the honorary name, she had a nightmare on the 22nd, that is, late at night on Sunday. She dreamed that she appeared above a gray fog and saw a magnificent hall and a person who was shrouded in gray fog. silhouette.
Of course, Audrey's memory of this nightmare only lasted a moment, because she woke up the next moment.
Regarding Audrey's insinuation, Valeera naturally did not show any flaws and gave the preset answer that she had not read the notes carefully.
In addition, Harold also discussed his latest understanding of "criminals" with Valeera.
Valeela also had the same feeling as him, and felt that this understanding might hide another way of playing "criminal", just like "temperance" and "indulgence".
Of course, the feeling is just a feeling, and it is still a thin layer away from the truth.
…
Friday, July 27th.
Half past eight in the evening.
Not long after Klein returned to the room, he heard waves of illusory calls.
Is anyone praying to me again? Could it be that she was still the beautiful girl with blond hair... With this thought in mind, Klein locked the door, raised the "spiritual wall", and walked four steps backward to reach the top of the gray mist.
In order to minimize Valeela's suspicion, after Audrey recited the honorary name, he waited until it did not affect the deadline for convening the "Tarot Meeting", that is, late at night on Sunday, before leaving the sleeping woman A blond girl was pulled above the gray mist and established a stable connection.
Of course, it only lasted a moment.
In this way, in the perception of the blond girl, she just had a nightmare and was awakened.
After boarding the gray fog, the first thing Klein looked at was the crimson star corresponding to the blond girl.
But... it's not her.
Klein continued his search and soon discovered the rhythmic crimson star, and the person it corresponded to was Mr. "Tower".
He spread spirituality in response to prayers and heard Mr. "Tower"'s specific request:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I have something to do and cannot attend next week's party. I hope to get your permission."
Another one asking for leave? This...should I cancel the next party, or drag the blond girl over to make up for it? Klein thought for a while and decided to respond to Mr. "Tower"'s prayer first, and then consider this issue later.
"I know," he replied.
