Mystery: Start with the Reader

I didn't expect this incident to spread to the Tarot Society. Fortunately, they didn't know that Mr. "Tower" was the detective...

Abner was full of rejoicing, and prayed that this topic would pass quickly.

Maybe the gods really cared for him, "The Hanged Man" Argel quickly said another thing:

"For some reason, 'Admiral of Blood' is chasing after 'Vice Admiral Twilight' with all his strength, and wiped out two of the latter's squadrons. A frontal conflict between them is probably inevitable."

"Admiral of Blood" Senor did have an inexplicable conflict with "Vice Admiral Twilight" in the original book, and the final result was that both sides suffered...

Abner thought of this, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Enmat Port, Hugh had come back after attending Mr. Z's party and told him that Mr. Z seemed to be selling an important secret of "Vice Admiral Twilight"... "Blood Will the conflict between "Admiral" and "Twilight Lieutenant General" be related to this?

Why did the Aurora Society provoke the two pirate generals into a fight?

However, it didn't take long for Abner to give up thinking about this matter. The idea of ​​the aurora being an angel is beyond the comprehension of normal people.

"In addition, the Future of the 'Admiral of the Stars' appeared in the southern part of the Rorsted Islands, and its whereabouts are unknown." Alger continued.

The Future... South of the Rorsted Islands... Will Jane go there? I don't know that the task of "Queen of Mysteries" is easy.

Abner was thinking about it, and Audrey the Justice, who was listening with gusto, blinked and asked curiously:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', can you introduce the situation of 'Admiral of Blood', 'Vice Admiral of Dusk' and 'Admiral of Stars' in detail? I have only heard their names and nicknames, but I don't know them What extraordinary ability do you have?"

Alger looked around, saw that "The Fool" did not stop, and "Tower" did not intend to speak, so he nodded slightly and said:

"no problem."

"'Admiral of the Stars' Cattleya once followed the 'Queen of Mysteries', but the two sides almost broke up a long time ago. As for the reason for this incident, there are rumors in the sea that she joined a secret organization and angered' Queen of Mysteries', and according to the information I have received, this secret organization is the 'Mose Penance Order'."

"'Twilight Vice Admiral' Bulatov Ivan spends most of his time in the North Sea, and only occasionally comes to the Rorsted Islands. He is a Beyonder of the 'Warrior' pathway. Many people speculate that behind him is the Church of the God of War."

"'Blood Admiral' Senor has a mysterious background, and he himself is suspected of being an evil spirit, not like a living person, and his pirate fleet is extremely vicious. Once a merchant ship encounters it, there are very few people left alive, so there is not much information. "

"Thank you very much for your sharing. I heard it and started yearning for the sea." Audrey "Justice" said with anticipation, "I don't know when I will be able to really travel."

"No, Miss Justice, this is definitely not as beautiful as you imagined. In my opinion, it is a combination of blood, chaos, killing, desire, and fear." Argel poured cold water on it calmly.

Abner nodded slightly when he heard that, the fact that "Vice Admiral Twilight" has a background in the Church of God of War is basically consistent with his previous speculation.

At this moment, the three present heard the sound of the table being tapped lightly at the same time.

Klein in the dense gray fog concealed the exhaustion caused by lack of spirituality, and smiled softly:

"That's the end of this party."

"Your will is our will." Audrey "Justice" got up immediately, raised her skirt slightly, and bowed. Alger and Abner also responded in similar words one after another.

Klein waved his hand, cut off the connection, and quietly watched the vague figures of Miss Justice and the others disappear.

...

Inside Essinger Detective Agency, Abner opened his eyes. He turned on his spirit vision and looked at the tree outside the window, but he didn't see the little bird with silver-white illusory feathers.

However, this was also within Abner's expectation. After a few days of observation, he also figured out the law of the little bird's activities.

It should be a dead spirit, it can only move freely at night, and it can barely maintain it by hiding in the shade of trees in the morning, but it will return to the spirit world at noon, and it will not come out until the sun goes down.

After opening the "Pure White Eye" to check carefully and confirming that there is no other surveillance, Abner came to the desk, rummaged through the paper and pen, and leaned over to draw the complicated, Mystical symbol.

With the excellent memory of the "Reader" sequence, Abner quickly completed the first step of the sacrifice ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, he opened the drawer, took out the candles, and arranged them according to the "dualism method". One was placed on the symbol formed by the combination of "eye without pupil" and "twisted thread", and one was placed in the center , indicating the sacrificial person.

Then, he took out all kinds of spiritual materials that he had prepared and placed them around.

After finishing all this, Abner lit the two candles spiritually, stepped back a few steps in the dim light, and then recited in the ancient Hermes language:

"A fool who does not belong to this era;"

"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"

"You are the Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."

"Your faithful servant prays for your watch;"

"Pray that you accept his offering;"

"I pray that you will open the gate of the kingdom."

...

The ancient mantra echoed in the spiritual wall, stirring up the swirling gale, bringing the shock of natural forces.

It is the oldest sacrificial language created by extraordinary human beings. It contains many mysteries, but it lacks sufficient protection for users.

The violent vibration quickly involved the surrounding spiritual materials, becoming part of the "whirlwind".

Woo!

The violent wind became more and more violent, but it was no longer fierce, and it was dyed in five colors: silver white, deep black, crimson red, orange yellow, and indigo blue.

During the continuous collision and fusion, these winds of different colors were thrown into the candle that symbolized "The Fool", and the expansion tore out a normal-sized illusory door. The symbol engraved on its surface was exactly what Abner had just said. the one depicted.

At this moment, above the gray fog, Klein was witnessing the hazy door he had seen before appearing behind the high-backed chair, and felt the spiritual power swaying in waves, stimulating this mysterious space.

It really succeeded... Klein suddenly had a premonition, and immediately spread his own spirituality, adding shock and stimulation.

bang!

In the unreal voice, the hazy door slowly opened!

Abner, who was in his own room, suddenly saw the illusory door made of wind and light open, and behind him was deep darkness, countless indescribable almost invisible shadows, and bright and pure brilliance containing huge knowledge. The thick gray fog above them is an ancient palace overlooking the real world.

The courier business finally succeeded in the experiment!

Abner held back his excitement and handed the "clown mask" and two brass charms that he had prepared long ago to the illusory door with both hands.

At this moment, the deep voice of "The Fool" sounded in his ears:

"well-done."

"It's my honor." Abner replied with a slight curl of his mouth.

He looked forward again, only to see that the illusory gate disappeared, the strong wind stopped, and the candle flame returned to its original state.

...

In the magnificent palace above the gray fog, Klein was playing with the "clown mask" sacrificed by Abner.

Although he hasn't communicated with the sealed artifact yet, Klein has already vaguely felt that the mask is expressing a "pleasing" emotion to him, which made him unconsciously show a smile.

Putting down his mask, Klein divination the efficacy of the two spells again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Tower didn't even give an instruction on how to use it, so I have to make it up for him." Said After finishing, he extended his spirituality and passed his thoughts to the two crimson stars that symbolize Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man.

...

Backlund, after returning from the gray fog, Audrey could no longer sit quietly by the bed. She sometimes flipped through the books next to the pillow, and sometimes looked at herself in the glasses with insufficient concentration.

She was looking forward to the completion of the "tower" sacrifice ceremony, but also worried that the result of the attempt would not be satisfactory.

After an unknown amount of time, a dense gray mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and in the depths of the gray mist was a tall chair.

"The Fool" sat there, smiled and said:

"Miss Justice, the attempt has been successful, have you prepared the relevant spiritual materials?"

awesome! As expected of Mister Fool! Audrey restrained her excitement and said:

"Yes, I have similar materials around me all the time."

Even before joining the Tarot Society, Audrey was like this, but at that time she didn't know which materials were considered spiritual varieties, and she just kept carrying them from the family treasure house according to the various aromatherapy essential oil formulas she had collected.

Klein nodded lightly and said:

"When do you want the ceremony to take place?"

"The premise is to confirm that there are no Extraordinary people around."

Does the Extraordinary Dog count... Audrey looked at the closed door with a guilty conscience:

"I can do it now."

Klein let out a "hmm":

"The flow of the ceremony is the same as what I described before, but the prayer statement needs to be changed to:"

"Your faithful servant prays for your watch;"

"I pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom;"

"Pray for your strength."

"In addition, use the dual ritual method."

Audrey thought about it, restrained the urge to nod frequently, and began to prepare for the ceremony.

When the illusory door opened and the scene more dreamy than the starry sky appeared, Audrey felt drunk both physically and mentally.

This is the mysterious world I've been looking for, and this is the feeling I've always wanted! She sincerely praised Mister Fool.

Belief in the Goddess is worship for Mister Fool... Audrey silently defended herself in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, she was stunned to see something more on the "altar". It was a brass card with exquisite shape and intricate and mysterious patterns carved on it.

"The spell!" Audrey was overjoyed, her eyes lit up, and she was about to go forward to get it.

But her etiquette habits immediately controlled her, and Audrey once again sincerely praised Mister Fool.

After the ceremony was over, she couldn't wait to step forward and carefully observed the brass charm several times.

"Our Tarot Society is a level higher than all the hidden organizations..." Audrey secretly smug, but then a new question arose: "How to use this spell? What is the effect?"

However, when she actually got the brass charm in her hand, Mr. Fool's voice came from her ear again:

"Activate the spell 'The Fool' and recite it in ancient Hermes. Effect: You can freely walk through places with 'doors'."
