Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

After sending Esther out of the gray fog, Klein waved, and the "Lovers" card flew over from the table and landed in his palm. It was just an ordinary tarot card, with nothing unusual about it. .

Why did Esther look so weird at that time? Doesn't she like this title?

As soon as Klein's fingers loosened, the tarot card disappeared in his palm. He looked at the ball of light in front of him. No other scene was displayed in it. It seemed to have returned to its original immersive appearance, and it could not be viewed by Klein. The situation on Esther's side.

But Klein knew that as long as he poured spiritual power into it, he could immediately pull Estella into the gray mist.

If Tarot Club members are VIPs, does this count as SVIP?

Miss "Justice" once asked what this ball of light was, but Klein casually used "something left behind in the past" to explain it away, leaving the power of imagination to the people below. In order not to arouse the curiosity of other Tarot Society members, Klein re-hanged the light ball above the hall, but the position was slightly in the middle of the table instead of above his head.

Mainly because he thought that Esther was connected to the gray fog through this light ball, Klein felt a sense of danger that he might be hit on the head. Of course, he also knew that he was overthinking. Normally, without his thoughts, others would It is impossible to step into this palace.

But Klein will never forget the divination that needs to be done.

Putting "Esther's light is related to this place" on paper, Klein held the citrine pendulum in his hand for divination, and the pendulum that rotated clockwise like a fan confirmed his guess: fellow It also has a deep connection with this place!

Klein recalled the previous dream divination for Esther. The light at that time was pointing to the light ball on the gray fog?

No wonder I always get no results. The gray mist itself contains the power of anti-divination. No matter how I test it, it will only show the light ball calmly and cannot tell me the connection.

What is hidden in Esther? She seemed to have a little understanding of it herself, but at least it was not something she could contend with. Even though she is a Sequence Five, I am only a Sequence Seven. If it were not for the control of Gray Mist, I would be just as desperate as her.

Klein gave a wry smile and wiped away the cold sweat for his fellow villager's courage to ask the "Evil God" for help. Fortunately, "The Fool" was considered "one of his own". If she really found an unknown evil spirit...

It’s hard to imagine what the consequences will be. Could the entire Backlund fall into disaster or even be destroyed?

Klein tried another dream divination, but couldn't see anything but light, so he had to give up looking for answers from this aspect again.

——

In less than two days, it will be a new Monday.

At around 2:50 in the afternoon, after Esther "confirmed" that Xiao Wu was sleeping peacefully, she placed it in the bathroom while she closed her eyes and lay in the hotel armchair.

Of course she would not fall asleep. The closer to three o'clock, the faster her heart beat, and the faint buzzing in her mind gradually became quieter.

Esther knew that it or he was afraid of the gray fog, which was actually a good thing for Esther. Even if the god "The Fool" didn't take action, she would be able to last longer in this tug-of-war of consciousness. .

This change allowed Esther's positive attitude to take over again.

Soon, light enveloped her sight. Amidst the weightless and distorted sensation of her body, Esther opened her eyes and saw the mottled bronze long table again.

At the long table near the high-backed chair of "The Fool", there are sitting several figures who were absent last time. There are men and women. Their figures are vague and unclear, and they are moving towards the end of the table. Turn around.

The ball of light that "The Fool" held in his hand last time was hanging high above the hall, and its gentle light made Esther feel at ease. "The Fool" held a card in his hand, but the distance was a bit far away, and Esther could not observe it carefully.

Esther glanced at the high-backed chairs behind several other people. The moment the symbol came into view, the corresponding names also appeared in her mind: "Imaginary", "Tyrant", "Sun" and "Door", just like "The Fool" "Does the symbol behind it correspond to his title?

Remembering and understanding are two different things. Esther has no idea what these names mean, but it makes her curious about the pattern on her back.

Immediately afterwards, the woman next to the Fool stood up and raised her skirt to the "Fool" on the front seat. Esther could tell that she was very young, with luxurious blond hair hanging behind her head, and her clothes were quite suitable. Complex designs in aristocratic fashion.

The woman's beautiful and brisk voice sounded on the long table: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

"The Fool" nodded slightly, and after the young lady sat down, he introduced everyone: "Sitting next to 'The World' is the new member 'Lover'."

Esther was a little nervous and imitated the lady to stand up, but she just bowed slightly and immediately sat back down. Under everyone's curious eyes, she noticed that there was someone sitting next to her.

Just now, Esther's attention was all on the other end of the long table, and she didn't notice that there was a man next to her. She turned around and met the stiff and cold eyes under the hooded robe.

This person didn't look like a living person, this was Esther's first feeling.

But considering the many abilities of extraordinary people, perhaps this was caused by the other party's extraordinary path, Esther thought it was better to pretend not to know.

What Esther didn't know was that she was also quite strange to others.

In the eyes of others, the "lover" lady's facial features have always had a layer of gray shadows, making her look like an exquisite doll without a face, which means that her appearance has not been completely revealed.

This change is very similar to the gray fog surrounding "The Fool", and it is difficult not to make people guess whether it is the work of "The Fool".

In fact, this was indeed Klein's doing. It would be very dangerous for the two of them if Esther showed her face in the Tarot Club. Of course Klein trusts the members of the Tarot Society, but he must prevent certain accidents.

Although "Justice" Audrey was confused by the too clear image of this "lover" lady, as an extraordinary person in the "audience" sequence, she easily covered up her surprise. She was curious about where this "lover" lady was sitting. Finally, does it have anything to do with Mr. World?

Miss "Lover" seems to be older than herself. The clothes she wears can prove that her financial situation is very ordinary. She is nervous but not afraid. Her forward sitting posture shows that she has vague expectations for the party. It feels like she is She has such confidence because she is quite adaptable to her abilities. I wonder what sequence she is in? What is the sequence?

"The Hanged Man" Alger thought more deeply. Is Miss Lover's abnormal form due to her close relationship with "The Fool"? Or is it because she is the favored one of "The Fool" and received a special gift from "The Fool"?

Derrick "The Sun" didn't think so much. He saw his "lover" dressed and knew that this person came from outside the land abandoned by the gods, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

"Magician" Forsi is trying to restrain her imagination, but she has no choice. It is really difficult for her to avoid having the Tarot name "Lover" in her imagination. Love has always been her preferred factor when writing.

In the end, it was the most silent and gloomy "World" who raised his hand and said to Esther: "The World."

Then he lowered his hand and looked away with his lifeless eyes.

"Uh, hello, Mr. World."

With Klein's secret manipulation, everyone else, led by "Justice" Audrey, also introduced themselves to the "lover" lady.

Most people didn't think much about it. Only "Magician" looked at "The World" curiously. Then after "World" turned its head, "Magician" quickly lowered his head and pretended that nothing happened. Waiting for the meeting to officially start.

After all the introductions were over, Esther saw "Justice" raise his hand and said briskly to the "Fool" in front of him: "I collected another page of Russell's diary this week, Mr. Fool, I think Let’s accumulate our contributions first, okay?”

"The Hanged Man" also raised his hand: "I also collected a page, and I want to accumulate and contribute to it later."

This is a man with dark blue hair. His seaweed-like hair is messy. His figure is not strong but his temperament is quite stable, giving him a capable and mature look.

"The Fool" nodded: "Okay."

Then He opened his palms, and white paper immediately condensed on the table in front of the two people. They just picked it up and stared at it for a few seconds, and when they put it down again, words appeared on it.

Until Mr. Fool entered the reading time, Esther looked calm on the surface, but doubts arose in her heart:

They all know that the notes left behind by Emperor Russell are diaries, and it seems that the collection operation took more than a day or two. This "fool" is indeed reading those papers. Does he understand Chinese?

Or is it that someone left Chinese-related knowledge in this world? Anyway, it was definitely not left by Russell himself. He could not hope that his romantic diaries would be sold wholesale and the society would die for a hundred years.

Esther also had another guess, but she didn't like that guess very much, so she simply ruled it out - she didn't want The Fool to have anything to do with Klein.

Even so far, this god has shown mostly tolerance and gentleness. As a "non-believer", Esther does not dare to be too presumptuous.

She herself was desperate, but Klein would not be reduced to praying to "The Fool".

well……

Seeing how everyone was taking it for granted, Esther guessed that this was the usual procedure of the Tarot Society. After "The Fool" put down his diary, He smiled and announced to everyone on the long table: "You can start."

"The Hanged Man" knocked on the table and turned to the "Magician" opposite: "There is news about the 'blood of deep-sea marlin' you want. It will be available for trading in two days. Do you have a psychological price now?"

"As long as three hundred and five pounds - no, if it doesn't work, it will be less than three hundred and seventy gold pounds. I have no problem with the price below this, just trade it directly."

There was some hesitation in Miss "Magician"'s words. It sounded like it was very painful for her to spend such a large amount of money. Esther could sympathize with her sadness of needing to spend money but having no money.

"The Hanged Man" nodded: "I can try to help you lower the price, and then I will ask Mr. Fool to witness our transaction."

"Magician" replied with confusion and satisfaction: "Thank you very much."

The next person to speak was the sunny Miss Justice again. She looked towards the end of the table: "Mr. World, regarding the fossil of the Thousand-Faced Hunter, it may take me next week to get an answer."

"The World" nodded, and the hoarse voice made the sense of death on his body more obvious: "I know. In addition to the Thousand-faced Hunter, if anyone can get the properties of the human skin shadow or the hair of the Deep Sea Naga, please let us know as soon as possible. I."

Esther wrote down all the materials mentioned by everyone. Although she didn't understand these things, there was Xiao Wu who always "overslept", and Esther could ask it about these things.

If you want to integrate into a place like the Tarot Club as soon as possible, the best way is to show the value you can provide. Esther knows this very well.
