Earl Hall's Mansion, private study room.
Audrey pinched her cheeks, still a little unbelievable about the magical encounter just now.
She actually saw a hidden great existence with her own eyes.
Not only that, she was unscathed and even received teachings from that being!
Looking down, Audrey saw "deep red" flowing on the back of her hand, like a "tattoo" of stars.
The "dark red" gradually fades and eventually disappears under the skin.
It was only then that Audrey was sure that she was not dreaming.
On the table, the exquisite and compact eight-tone bell clock pointed to nearly half past three.
"The Fool"... She looked at the notebook spread out on the table, and three lines of his name written in Rune language came into view.
Comparing the two versions of the honorary name, Audrey had a guess——
So, Mr. "Fool" lost the authority of "wishes" and only had "good luck" left, so he changed his honorary name?
Fear is a really weird emotion.
Just half an hour ago, every time Audrey saw the three lines of the name "The Fool" in her notes, she would feel helpless and hesitant, and her heart would be filled with haze.
If she hadn't become an "audience", she must have been acting abnormally in the past few days and was discovered by her family.
But now, seeing the honorary name on the note again, she no longer felt the heaviness and depression she had felt before, and her negative emotions had almost completely dissipated.
At best, there is only a little bit of doubt left.
The reason for all these changes was simply a wonderful gathering, a communication that was somewhat like a private training class.
Sure enough, Emperor Russell's famous saying is correct——
“The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear; and the oldest and strongest fear is fear of the unknown.”
I have verified this through personal experience... Well, Mr. "The Fool" does not look like the terrifying evil god in the rumors. Mr. "The Hanged Man" is also a gentleman who is willing to share.
Thinking of this, the corners of Audrey's mouth curved slightly, and she had more expectations for the drama "The Return of the Earl" the day after tomorrow.
…
Above the gray fog.
Klein sat in the high-backed chair of The Fool, recalling what he had learned from the party just now.
With the intelligence he pieced together from everywhere, he finally had a more in-depth and systematic understanding of his experiences during this period.
Judging from various clues, the extraordinary path mastered by the Antigonus family should be the "Soothsayer" sequence;
The "Secret Order" has been chasing traces of the Antigonus family for many years, and must have mastered many follow-up formulas corresponding to the "divineers".
Klein felt that he would inevitably have to deal with these two hidden forces more in the future.
Of course, not now.
He already knows the formula of the Sequence 8 "Joker" potion. Once he digests the "Soothsayer" potion in his body, he will be promoted whether he secretly collects the materials himself or submits a special application to the church's "Temple".
Klein has not yet thought clearly about which method to choose for promotion.
If he was to be promoted secretly, then he would obviously need a large sum of gold pounds... Well, maybe this could be found with Miss Justice, who looked like she was not short of money.
I wonder if Miss Justice is holding the "blasphemy card"? If so, which one is it? I wonder what the so-called secret hidden in the "Card of Blasphemy" is?
Well, there is no need to rush this matter... Even if I get that card now, I can't solve the puzzle and discover the secret... The most important thing is to collect more diaries first.
After thinking everything through, Klein wrapped himself in spirituality, simulating the feeling of falling, and left above the gray mist.
…
Williams Street, Qili’s ancestral home.
Valila was sitting in the semi-open viewing sunroom on the third floor of the house, enjoying afternoon tea while thinking about things related to the "Tarot Club".
Judging from Audrey's insinuations, she should have recited or copied the honorary name, so... she should have been dragged into the gray mist by Klein and participated in a "Tarot session", right?
Alas, I hope she can have more of a sense of belonging to the "Tarot Society" like in the original work.
Valeela couldn't participate in the "Tarot Club" for a period of time, so she couldn't control the direction of the "Tarot Club", so she only considered a rough idea, and the specific countermeasures would have to wait until she returned to the "Tarot Club." Yes." We can only decide after learning more about the situation.
No matter how capable she is, she still hopes that things will generally develop in the direction of the original narrative.
Only in this way can she have the advantage of "prescience" and formulate reasonable plans.
During the period when she was unable to participate in the "Tarot Club", all she could do was continue her previous plan. In addition to acting as a digester, she also intervened in Klein's choice at the right time.
…
On the coast of the Sea of Sea, the city of Tillis.
In the afternoon, Piero took a carriage to a fishing village in the suburbs to deal with the extraordinary events there.
This is his regularization assessment, so it can only be completed by one person.
Of course, he was not the only one on the carriage, there was also one of his companions, the "Light Prayer" of Sequence 8, who was also the leader who had been teaching him all kinds of extraordinary knowledge.
This was to ensure Piero's safety.
Captain Tullius made it very clear that unless his life was in danger, his companion would not take action, and once this companion and mentor took action, it would mean that he failed the assessment.
If this happens, he will have no choice but to accept another contract and become a peripheral member of the "Dawnbreaker" team.
Peripheral members have no chance of promotion at all, and are mostly responsible for ordinary events. I heard that there are also slight restrictions on freedom of movement... In short, they are far inferior to the regular members in all aspects.
Fortunately, this mission is not difficult, it should just be a water ghost causing trouble.
Piero believed that for ordinary ghosts like this, as long as he found the right location and performed a purification ceremony, the problem would be completely solved.
If there's definitely a bad thing, it's probably the timing of this mission.
Although he was not very positive about the party convened by Mr. Fool, Piero was still unwilling to miss the party if possible.
After all, every time he misses a party, it means that his understanding of the party is reduced by one point——
This has certain obstacles to his idea of avoiding danger and protecting himself.
Under the control of the driver, the carriage carried two passengers, starting from the flat cement road, passing through the gravel road and mud road, and finally stopped at the roadside outside the fishing village.
Piero got off the carriage and walked into the village along the way. He planned to go to the village chief first to understand the situation, and was followed by his companion "Light Prayer".
