Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Noon the next day.

Having already asked Arrods and Red Light in the spirit world for information about Calderon City in the spirit world, Klein made all the preparations he could.

However, he sadly discovered that no one seemed to be able to provide much help in this dangerous adventure:

Mr. Azik has fallen into a deep sleep, "Mercury Snake" Will is still preparing to be born, and the messenger lady Renette Tinichole cannot approach the city that once belonged to the ancestor of the phoenix, Gray Carrie. Ryan's familiarity with the "Queen of Mystery" is not enough for the other party to take such a risk.

As for the forces of Silver City and the Blood Tribe, they are not suitable to participate in this kind of thing, nor is it suitable to pray to the goddess of the night. Miss Sharon's reply letter said that she still has one or two months to prepare, and she does not have time for the time being...

Klein turned the half-high silk top hat in his hand and glanced at the skylark standing by the window, blowing the warm breeze.

It would be nice if my fellow countrymen were here.

Perhaps because he heard Klein's subtle sigh, Norns turned around, blinked his bright light eyes, happily chirped at Klein, and flapped his wings twice.

Sometimes Klein is quite envious of Norns's carefree appearance.

He smiled and looked away, continuing to think about this exploration of Calderon City, and finally finalized his decision to act alone.

Klein planned to briefly explore and initially find out whether the "City of the Dead" could be visited, because the information everyone gave him was very general, and without the current situation inside the city, he could only go there alone. The coordinates located deep in the spiritual world.

Oh, and he has to add his two marionettes.

Although strictly speaking, it was all him.

——

Klein slumped down on The Fool's seat.

He casually threw the "Sea Body Scepter" back into the debris pile, released the state of fusing the spirit body with the "Tyrant" card, and exhaled a long breath:

"I actually escaped..."

His trip to Calderon City had too many unexpected turns.

The fatigue caused by excessive consumption of spirituality left Klein with no energy left to drive the marionette to massage. This time he was "extremely lucky" to kill the sneak attack of the spiritual world predator and collected the required materials in one go. , Klein was also a little surprised.

But he also met someone he absolutely didn't want to meet, the descendant of the true Creator, the "Tail-Eater" Ouroleus!

This can only be because "Creeping Hunger" chanted the honorable name of the true Creator and attracted the other party...

No matter what, at least such key materials have been obtained. By the way, I still have to write a letter to Miss Sharon to tell her that I don’t need help for the time being. Klein thought with satisfaction when he received the true soul and dust of the spiritual world predator into the box.

It's just that "Angel of Destiny" looked a little confused at that time?

No, it must be my illusion. If I had escaped a step slower, I would have probably been brought to the "True Creator" by now. When the time comes, the "creeping hunger" will surely be extremely happy and praise its Lord. What will happen next, no one knows.

When Klein thought about this possibility, he broke into a cold sweat because of the result of his successful escape.

The light ball hanging above the long table rotates slightly, and the soft light is more concentrated on Klein. He clearly feels that his lack of spirituality is returning to stability as it grows steadily.

This effect is much better than meditating in the real world, but it cannot restore Klein's mental fatigue.

He leaned back and leaned on the back of the bronze chair, frowning slightly and staring at the ball of light.

Until Huakong's spirituality was completely stabilized, Klein's figure suddenly disappeared from the front seat and left here.

The light converged silently, and everything returned to the deathly silence filled with gray mist.

——

Meeting time is 3pm.

The red light condensed into illusory figures one after another, but the figure with different colors at the end of the table did not appear again.

The "lover" is absent.

"Justice" and "Devil" glanced at the end of the table quickly, but their gazes were very hidden, as if they were looking around the long table inadvertently.

But unlike "Justice" who was simply curious, "Devil" seemed worried.

The "Devil"'s hand was placed under the table, and he kept tapping on the edge of the high-backed bronze chair, occasionally pinching it in the air, which was in sharp contrast to his previous very casual attitude.

"The Hanged Man" and "The Hermit" have a lot of guesses in their minds, including the abnormal state of the "lover" when they attended the last meeting, but it doesn't seem strange to miss a tarot meeting occasionally.

"Justice" once again led everyone to say hello to Mr. "Fool". This time, "Magician" and "Devil" each presented two pages of Russell's diary, dedicated to Mr. "Fool".

But there was nothing important in these diaries, and Klein noticed that one of them was one he had seen before.

As he collected more and more diaries, it was normal for things like this to happen. Russell did not write down the date of the diary every day. "Huang Tao" would only leave his memories when he was full of desire to talk. of a sum.

Every stroke is a word from his hometown, speaking of loneliness against the pile of old papers. Klein can understand that feeling very well.

But he will definitely not leave such a thing behind. If a serious person writes a diary, if someone suddenly reads it out one day, he will never see anyone again.

"If you have any conditions you want to raise, you can tell me." "The Fool" said calmly.

The "Magician" hopes to accumulate a diary of this time, and the "Devil" suddenly raised his head: "I hope to exchange for your protection in the future."

"no problem."

"Devil" lowered his shoulders slightly: "Thank you for your kindness and generosity."

"Justice", who is most sensitive to these subtleties, has noticed this gentleman's restless state. The others don't feel much at all. At most, they feel that today's "Devil" has a more serious attitude.

"The Fool" waved away the diary in his hand and nodded slightly to everyone: "You can start."

"World", "Moon" and "Sun" reached a deal on the characteristics of artificial vampires. "Hermit" purchased some spells from "The Hanged Man" that were only circulated within the Church of Storms. "Magician" replaced his roommate , made a request to purchase some extraordinary materials, and "Moon" agreed and would inform her of the price needed to purchase the materials next time.

"The Fool" hid behind the gray mist, watching everyone with a smile. Only occasionally when his eyes crossed the "world", Klein would always glance at the empty space.

When the communication session came, the "Devil" couldn't wait to raise his hand: "Mr. Fool, I have something to tell the members of the Tarot Club, but it is related to you, and I don't want you to think that I am disrespectful."

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it." The Fool's attitude was very gentle.

But Klein felt a little helpless.

After several meetings, Mr. "Devil"'s previous attitude was clearly that he feared "gods" more than he respected them. What happened to him in the real world that made him have a clearer tendency towards "The Fool"?

Could it be related to the spiritual limitations left on the "devil" before?

"The Lover" mentioned a "Friend of the Esoteric Order" who had no idea other than that he knew Esther's "demon". The leader of the Secret Order, Klein, had also met him before. In that foggy town, Zaratul even gave him the formula for the "Obvious Mage".

What the "Devil" said next confirmed Klein's conjecture. Even though the "Devil's" tone was as exaggerated as ever, it did not prevent what he said from being intimidating enough:

"Dear members of the Tarot Club, at least the ones in Backlund, you'd better tighten your spirits these days and be prepared for your protection. I can only say that someone is looking for you, and it's definitely not for any good reason. They We are looking for people related to Mr. Fool everywhere, and we are also looking for Backlund's unusual movements while he is calm."

After a few seconds of silence, "Justice" raised his hand: "Mr. Devil, who are you talking about?"

The "Devil" nodded slightly to the "Fool" at the head of the bronze table: "He is an angel of the 'divineer' path. His whereabouts are hidden and he is good at divination and disguise. However, he does not need to disguise himself to directly control those among us. anyone."

"Justice" was a little unhappy being ignored, but "Devil" gave enough information, so "Justice" didn't plan to care about it for the time being.

The focus of "The Hanged Man" is on the last sentence: "Is something going to happen to Backlund again?"

"Devil" chuckled twice: "Hey, who knows?"

"The World" glanced at him sideways, and "The Devil" fearlessly turned to the end of the table: "'The World', are you still in Backlund now?"

A hoarse voice floated out from under the hood and fell clearly in everyone's ears: "I'm not here, but I can return at any time."

"In short, this matter cannot be some tabloid gossip. Intis is deliberately infiltrating spies into Backlund. The number will definitely not be large, but the matter under investigation is related to the Loen royal family."

This time the silence lasted longer, until "Justice", who had a stable identity in the aristocratic circle, spoke: "Mr. 'Devil', are you from Intis?"

"Devil" whistled and said with a smile: "I didn't deliberately suppress my accent, what else can't be heard? You want to ask me if I am one of the spies, right?"

Before "Justice" could reply, "If you are in trouble, you don't have to tell us," "Devil" had already continued talking to himself:

"Because I am. Otherwise, how could I give out such vague information about a secret mission?"

Both "Moon" and "Sun" were a little confused, but "Moon" was anxious because Backlund was mentioned, while "Sun" didn't even know what a "spy" was.

If something big happens in Backlund, it is likely to involve the national relationship between Roen and Intis. The "Hermit" silently records this information and plans to write to the "Queen of Mystery" as soon as the meeting is over.

"Magician" only felt dizzy. No novel would dare to write about spies, royal families, and foreseeable wars... This made "Magician" feel a little panicked in his daze. Perhaps this matter should be discussed with Hugh discuss it.

In the past two years, Backlund seemed to have never completely settled down.
