Mystery: Start with the Reader

In Tingen City, in the row house at No. 2 Narcissus Street, Klein opened a thick envelope, which contained a letter from Mr. Ards.

"The thing you asked about last time, I have recalled some of it in the past few days, and it seems to be because of the deep impression. Maybe, in a certain life of mine, or in the earliest life, I often did Something like that."

"Although I said it last time, I must remind you again and warn you that you must be cautious enough when using this ceremony, and you cannot pin your safety on their conscience. They don't have such a thing."

Mr. Ards wrote very cryptically, and didn't mention the words "sacrifice" at all... That's right, although this letter suddenly appeared in my room for some reason, but in case Melissa Or someone else disassembled it privately, and it is not good to see some words that should not be seen. Even if most people don't understand Hermes at all.

Klein thought of this, skipped the precautions emphasized by Mr. Azik, and directly read the content of the following ceremony:

"First of all, arrange the environment for the sacrifice, draw and engrave the corresponding symbols, and use herbs and ores belonging to His domain. Of course, holy oil, balm, incense and other items can also be pre-made."

This part is almost the same as the information given by "Tower", and it is all part of pleasing the gods, um, it can be omitted.

As for the symbols, Klein already has an idea.

The "vertical eye" pattern sent out by the puppet when he was guarding the Chanis Gate last time should be the symbol of the upper class of the Antigonus family, and it may even be the representative symbol of the half-fool in the mouth of the "tower".

And the symbol of me, a "fool who does not belong to this era", is probably the complex symbol behind the high-backed chair at the top of the long bronze table, the "eye without pupils" that partly symbolizes mystery and the "distorted eye" that partly symbolizes change. A complex symbol composed of lines.

"Or, my symbol above the gray mist... The domain is very simple, secret, change, good luck... But I can't be sure, I can only try to figure it out... Well, even if the symbol is wrong, in the On the premise that the "honorable name" is correct, the target of the sacrifice will not point to another existence, and at most it will cause the failure of the ceremony. I can be sure of this..." Klein rubbed the surface of the paper thoughtfully, I have a plan in mind.

His eyes regained focus and looked at the next part:

"Secondly, follow the normal ritual flow until you finish reciting the honorable name and prayers."

"You must remember that you must use the language of giants, dragons, elves, or ancient Hermes, and use their direct connection with natural forces to complete the communication with the corresponding existence. You can design the specific sentences yourself, but Must have those few key words, 'pray', 'watch', 'dedication', 'kingdom', 'gate', 'open'."

The information given by this part of the "tower" is more detailed, and even some of the principles are explained thoroughly, so that I can modify it more conveniently... He thinks that I am a revived ancient god, and may not understand modern sacrificial rituals. Are you afraid that I will ask for blood food like in ancient times, so you made it so clear on purpose?

While guessing what the "tower" was thinking, Klein continued to look at the content below, which was also the content he was most concerned about.

"Finally, you use spiritual materials, combined with the shock of natural power caused by the mantra, to build a preliminary passage, and connect to the passage corresponding to the 'gateway of the kingdom'. If that person is interested, your ceremony can be completed .”

Sure enough, I still need spiritual materials... I don't know if just reciting the mantra will allow me to open a sacrificial channel similar to the "Gate of Summoning", and can I mobilize some power in the mysterious space above the gray mist... Well, I'll try it first, if it doesn't work, I'll just spend it extravagantly... After all, it's the tarot meeting in the afternoon, and "Tower" and "The Hanged Man" must be waiting for my results.

Klein put down the letter and quickly took action,

He locked the wooden door behind him, drew out the ritual silver dagger, sealed the entire room with a spiritual wall, then walked four steps backwards, and boarded the gray mist.

Although "Tower" and Mr. Ards have no reason to harm him, they must first confirm that this ceremony is really not dangerous.

The gray and white hazy mist permeated like everlasting, and the crimson illusory stars hung from far or near. Klein sat in the magnificent palace that looked like a giant's residence, quietly looking at everything he was familiar with before him.

After a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze, allowing a piece of yellow-brown parchment to appear in front of him, and then picked up a pen and wrote down the spell modified according to the information given by the "Tower":

"Light a candle to symbolize yourself;"

"Use a spiritual wall to create a holy environment;"

"Recite the following mantra:"

"I!"

"I call in my name:"

"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

...

After carefully examining it three times, Klein wrote the divination statement at the bottom:

"It is dangerous to perform the above ritual outside."

Phew, he exhaled, put away the pen, untied the silver chain in his cuff, and held it with his left hand.

When the citrine pendant floated quietly above the parchment, just barely touching the divination statement, he restrained his thoughts and entered a state of meditation.

"It is dangerous to perform the above ritual outside."

"It is dangerous to perform the above ritual outside."

...

After reciting seven times, Klein opened his almost black eyes and saw the citrine pendant turning counterclockwise.

It means no, means no danger!

"You can try it." Klein hurriedly let the object that appeared in front of him disappear, and stretched his spirituality to wrap himself, simulating the feeling of falling sharply.

After returning to the bedroom, because the entire room had been sealed with a spiritual wall, Klein immediately cleaned up the desk and set up an altar to pray to himself.

Taking two steps back, Klein looked at the candle that symbolized him, and whispered in Giant's language:

"I!"

Immediately afterwards, he switched to Hermes language:

"I call in my name:"

"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his spirituality being crazily pulled away. However, he still endured the pain and finished reciting the following mantra.

But when he finished reciting all the incantations, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and nothing happened.

"I haven't summoned anything... Ah yes, maybe I need to go above the gray mist to respond... It's really troublesome to summon myself..." Klein squeezed Kongla's stinging forehead and said silently to himself.

He slowed down for more than ten seconds, took four steps backwards, and once again came to the gray mist, he saw circles of light patterns on the top of the ancient long table.

This comes from the weird symbol behind the corresponding high-back chair——a weird symbol composed of the "eye without pupil" that symbolizes mystery and the "twisted thread" that symbolizes change.

Klein just made a gesture of reaching out and touching, and the sound of incantations such as "I! I summon in my name", "The Fool who does not belong to this era", "The mysterious master above the gray fog" and so on immediately sounded in his ears, and he saw The influx of spirituality mixed with the swaying light patterns, turning into an illusory, unformed door.

The door wobbled and wanted to open it. Klein immediately had an inspiration and gave a strong idea to push it open.

Almost instantly, the boundless gray fog and the magnificent palace were suddenly pulled, creating invisible ripples.

Circle after circle, the ripples rushed towards the illusory, unformed door.

However, no matter how hard Klein pushed, the door couldn't be opened, and all the movement finally fell silent again.

"Because the 'Gate of Summoning' is not fully formed?" Klein withdrew his thoughts and analyzed the reason for the failure with a slight frown.

"Well, it's because I'm not spiritual enough to build a complete 'Gate of Summoning'... Wait until I advance to Sequence 8, become a 'Joker', and pass through the initial dangerous stage, I can try again, maybe then there will be no problem... …" Klein nodded slightly, and probably understood what was going on.

But then he showed a bitter smile again, and said to himself: "This also means that at present, we really need to use spiritual materials to assist the vibration, so as to open the 'sacrifice' channel..."

...

At noon, Abner, who sent off Hugh, was also entangled in the news, so he didn’t have the heart to make up some lace for Klein to read, so he picked a page from the original Roselle’s diary and enlarged it in his mind. , Try to think like a picture.

In fact, if he didn't want to help Xio get a chance to be "favored" by Mister Fool, he didn't even think of giving Klein "Rosell's Diary" this week.

After all, he has reminded most of what should be reminded before. If you give too much, Mr. Fool can't give an equal return, and it will be very difficult for him to do so.

"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to today's Tarot Club, because in the original book, there is no specific description of the Tarot Club for this week and the next two weeks. I only used the sentence 'I didn't get the diary' to reveal the past. What happened during the period What, I am also a little curious and want to explore."

"It's just that I don't know the content of the party, so I can't prepare in advance. I hope that my knowledgeable persona, Mr. Tower, can be maintained."

"In the end, I don't know if Klein has studied the 'sacrifice' ceremony well?"

When Abner was sketching the text and picture while thinking about how to deal with the possible problems in the Tarot meeting, the time passed little by little, and it soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

...

Above the gray mist, the majestic temple seemed to be the residence of the giant king.

Crimson blossoms bloomed on both sides of the long bronze table, rising and falling like a fountain, "sculpting" three vague figures, their positions remained unchanged from last time.

The blond hair was supple, and the tall Audrey looked up instinctively, only to see the figure shrouded in thick gray mist sitting back, with one hand flat, touching the edge of the table, and the other hand clasped, gently twisting her chin.

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool~!" Audrey shouted briskly.

Then, she turned her head, looked at the opposite side, and spoke in the same tone:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man~!"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Tower~!"

Hearing the cheerful voice of the other party, Klein was also infected with the joy and happiness, and the corners of his mouth turned up. Even the heartache of using spiritual materials to experiment with the "sacrifice" ceremony before was relieved a lot.

That was the spiritual material that he had ingeniously set up several reimbursement items and used the excuse of needing funds to develop the informants of the "Psychological Alchemy Association"...

But fortunately, it was successful. In this way, the "Tower" and even the "Hanged Man" can be more peaceful, and don't always try to test the "fool" like me.

After returning the salute with Miss "Justice", Abner noticed that the eyes of "The Fool" seemed to be looking at him, and he might be mistaken, so he hurriedly said: "Dear Mr. A diary page."

I brought the diary again. Mr. "Tower" should have a strong background, so he has such a powerful information channel... No, I can't think so, it is because Mr. "Tower" has the ability. As a lady, I can't just because of jealousy just belittle. Audrey, come on, you also have your own channels and abilities, and you will definitely get more Roselle diaries in the future.

Miss "Justice" showed a look of envy at first, but she quickly adjusted it with the ability of "audience", and her heart was full of fighting spirit.

The "Hanged Man" on the other side was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fool. I'm still at sea."

Klein nodded casually, and took the diary that appeared in the "tower" in a leisurely manner. As a result, I almost laughed out loud after just looking at it.

"March 6th, damn, the food here makes me almost constipated!"

"On March 17th, were Intis's wives so open? Did I fuck her, or did she fuck me? It always feels a little weird."
