Mystery: Shadow of Order

Deep in the Hornaches Mountains, the valley where Tamara used to live.

Rawls looked away from the heptagonal black altar with a height of nearly ten meters, and then looked at the black palace on the black rock not far behind the altar. Huge stone pillars support the main hall, with strange chopping patterns on it.

From the high dome of the main hall, one metal round rod after another hangs down from the high dome—their bottom ends are respectively connected with candlesticks carved into different creatures, 40 on the left and 39 on the right. The black and heavy door was closed tightly, and the situation inside the palace could not be seen.

This is the palace that the Tamara family built when they fled here and chose to re-believe in the "Fog of Uncertainty" at the beginning of the Fifth Era. At first, it was to warn the clansmen not to forget the honor of the family, but later it became a church, and only scrolls like Alicia could enter.

After pondering for a while, Rawls turned around and said to the three people in front of him:

"Let's get started, same as before."

Elder Christo, who looked more than ten years older than the last time we met, stroked his half beard that was not braided. Most of his white hair was covered by a pointed hood, and his cloudy gray eyes were deep. , his shriveled lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by another "Chaos Hunter" Lagart Tamara with his eyes.

The elder didn't seem to have changed much, he was still wearing an old overcoat with a white shirt underneath, his eyebrows were long and drooping, and his face was sad.

He knew what Christo wanted to ask, and he also wanted to ask Rawls and Alysia why they suddenly returned without warning, and there was a ceremony to select the test papers. But this can be asked privately after the latter, there is no need to directly point out.

"OK".

Seeing Elder Laigate nodding, Rawls turned and walked towards the black hall, completely ignoring the intention of going up to the altar and waiting as required by the ceremony.

Every time he took a step, he was about ten meters long, and his figure was sometimes shaped like a lake, sometimes clear, and after a few breaths, he stood on the open ground between the altar and the main hall.

"The ceremony can begin." The majestic and deep voice echoed.

Elder Laigate and Elder Christo looked at each other the same way, and then turned their gazes to Alicia. The roller of the "Uncertain Fog" had already walked to one of the seven stairs on the black altar. Ready to climb the stairs.

After the two elders looked at each other again, their figures flashed and they retreated more than ten meters away from the altar. They raised their arms high, moved their lips, and chanted mantras. This incantation does not belong to any mystical language in the current world, but it seems to be the source of all languages. Even if you haven't studied it, you can understand the meaning.

"O eternal chaos

"You are the master of the disordered country;"

"A shadow incarnated by order;"

"We ask for your help."

"We pray for your kindness."

"Bless your believers!"

As the two elders chanted the mantra, the two of them prostrated themselves on the ground. The sound of chanting was not loud but some kind of power was exerted. The rune pattern on the altar suddenly changed, like a fog that could not gather together, surrounded The platform turned.

Alicia began to climb up the altar step by step. She walked very quickly at first, but when she reached the seventh step, she stopped for a second or two before taking the next step.

In less than a minute, she had already stepped onto the altar, and in front of her was a three-story altar. But she didn't climb up like before, but sat cross-legged in front of the altar.

】

Although the two elders kept praying, the door of the black hall was still closed and there was no response.

Rolls looked up at the sky, raised the corners of his mouth, and prayed in a low voice:

"The fool who is not of this age;

"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;

"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck..."

After he finished reading the third paragraph of his honorable name, he came to the door of the black hall in a flash. The heavy black stone door had already been opened, and it was closed again after Rawls entered.

In the main hall, Rawls was already sitting on the iron-black seat where a dozen of him could lie side by side, his eyelids drooped, and he couldn't see his eyes.

In the next second, a wisp of pale and illusory mist emerged from his body, and then, endless mist poured out overwhelmingly, covering the black dome and turning the interior of the hall into a sea of ​​mist, very similar to that A space of white mist.

Opening his eyes slowly, Rawls stretched out his right palm when he saw the scene in front of him. After about a minute or two, the black inverted pyramid imprint appeared, but the light was extremely dim, and disappeared after a few seconds.

Sure enough, "Origin Castle" is not omnipotent, at least for Klein who has not yet been promoted to a demigod.

This black hall should be the only church in this world, and even in the entire universe, that belongs to the "fog of uncertainty". Kingdom of God.

Although "Origin Castle" surpasses the gods in terms of personality, the power is ultimately in Klein's hands. He stole the "Antigonus Family Notes" behind the Chanis Gate, and when he was imprisoned in the misty town, he couldn't contact "Origin Castle", so how could he pull Rauls into the gray mist!

After this time, maybe I can try to refuse to enter "Origin Castle"?

Rawls faintly felt this way in the first Tarot meeting after he was promoted to demigod. At that time, he felt the rejection of "Origin Castle". If he wanted, he should be able to refuse the summon, but that would easily arouse Klein's suspicion.

Now, even if he is suspected, he can still blame the "fog 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 "Uncertain Fog" and that he has started cooperation with the Tamara family. In this way, on the issue of Augustus, he will no longer be suspected, but can be trusted.

If there is gain, there will be loss, and if he is trusted in this respect, then Rawls will inevitably be suspected by Klein in the "Fog of Uncertainty" and the Tamara family. The only thing he is not sure about now is what Mister Fool's attitude will be after knowing that a member of the Tarot Society has become the scroller of another god.

Looking at the black inverted pyramid imprint on the palm of his hand again, Rawls shook his head with a smile.

What perseverance!

But the more this is the case, the more it shows that Klein takes himself more seriously. Hehe, an Augustus demigod who doesn't want to see George III become the "Dark Emperor", the core members of the Tarot Club suddenly disappeared, and there is a high possibility of encountering accidents. He must be having a headache now, right?

I don't know the traps I arranged for him, how many can he step into?

…

Above the gray fog, Klein, who has tried countless times to contact Mr. "Emperor", failed again. Fortunately, the results of divination about the other party's life and death have always failed, which means that the worst result may not have happened yet. .

During the gap between so many attempts, Klein, who had calmed down, also discovered some doubts.

With the character of Mr. "Emperor" and his performance in this week's Tarot meeting, he is obviously mentally prepared for his own adventure and knows what he is going to do. However, Miss "Magician"'s report indicated that it was just an accident. The member of MI9 captured by Alicia Tamara just happened to discover that the friend of "Magician" had changed his appearance.

In this way, there are three results.

First, the arrested member of MI9 and Mr. "Emperor" are not the same person, the two happened at exactly the same time, and the three-stage honor Klein heard was not the reliance behind the Tamara family. But another, say the Djinn...

Second, Mr. "Emperor", who is a high-ranking member of MI9, has already discovered the problem of "Magician" friends, followed the clues all the way to find out that it is related to the Tamara family, and then through the risky move of voluntarily exposing himself and Tamara got in touch.

The possibility of these two results is very small, and there are problems. The former is too coincidental, and the latter does not match the report of Miss "Magician". Hiding her true thoughts in front of her, even though it was possible that Alicia said that on purpose, it didn't make much sense.

In addition, Mr. "Emperor"'s adventure is obviously related to "Undead King".

And 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 an adventure that may endanger his life, so of course he, as a senior MI9 officer, 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 the deputy chief Qonas Kilgor who killed the "crazy captain" Connors Victor.

But in the process, I happened to discover the problem of Ms. "Magician"'s friend, and ran to follow up on a whim, but accidentally ran into Alicia, a demigod of the Tamara family. One is unintentional, and the other is a bit prepared. With the current result, it is also 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 no choice but to simulate the heaviness of a rapid fall and return to the real world.

He first tried to meditate on the layered spheres of light to calm down the exhaustion caused by spiritual consumption. After the state eased, he did not restore spirituality through sleep as before. Instead, he turned on the gas lamp and sat at the table.

Mr. "Emperor"'s current problem made him have to start thinking about how to explain to other members of the Tarot Society after the other party really encountered an accident.

In fact, as a "fool", there is no problem for Klein even if he doesn't explain, but this will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the members of the Tarot Club. Have doubts about Mister Fool.

Alas, this is the biggest disadvantage of going off in person, unlike other gods, there is a church as a platform in the middle.

Klein let out a long sigh and fell back into thinking.

First of all, the next Tarot Fair is less than a week away, so I definitely can't give up on saving Mr. "Emperor". But be careful, in this process, you must be careful about the existence of those three esteemed names.

Despite the path factors, Amon, who is the king of angels, can use the little "sun" to plan this gray fog space, not to mention that this is very likely to be a god, or even an existence beyond the 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 the other members, and this explanation cannot be too specific, otherwise there is no way to make up for other accidents later.

call

Klein looked around. Driven by his spiritual intuition, he opened the drawer, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw on the paper. He had to consider the thoughts of each member.

As he was writing, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and then he realized that the potion of his "Master of Puppets" had been further digested. Every member of the Tarot Club has his own ideas and differences, and the Secret Puppet is the same. Since they are on stage, they naturally have to abide by their respective roles.

With this feeling, Klein wrote faster, and didn't put down the pen until midnight, and went back to bed to get ready to rest. Before that, he also came above the gray mist and tried again, but it still ended in failure.

…

In the valley deep in the Honakis Mountains, Yalicia had come down from the altar, and together with the two elders, she was staring at the black palace with its gate tightly closed.

The ceremony just now was naturally useless, and they even suspected that even without the ceremony, Rawls could enter that temple.

"Alycia..."

Elder Christo, who was still old and was about to collapse at any moment, spoke first, but just as he spoke, he saw Yalicia shook her head.

"I don't know what he wants to do or why he wants to do it."

"But..." Christo wanted to ask again, but this time another elder came to Ghat to stop him.

With a smile on Laijat's sad face, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com patted the other person's shoulder:

"Well, anyway, isn't the current situation very good for us?"

Rawls' ascension to the throne at the wedding was an excellent thing for the two angel families of Tamara and Abraham. They saw hope and saw a future where the family could be like other people without worrying about fear.

Under Laigate's persuasion, Elder Christo kept his mouth shut. Seeing that the black palace hadn't changed for a long time, the two left together, only Alicia still stood in front of the altar.

She didn't look at the backs of the two elders leaving, just like her answer just now. She really didn't know what Rawls was thinking, but she knew what happened before, but she didn't say it.

As the roller of "Uncertain Fog", although her surname is Tamara, she will not be valued by the Tamara people. In fact, every scroller is like this, most of them are orphans of the Tamara family.

Before meeting Rawls, she could only rely on the Tamara family, but now she will only choose to stand by Rawls.
