Mystery: Start with the Reader

Abner looked at Miss Justice who was sitting on the other side of the ancient mottled bronze long table, waiting for her to greet Mister Fool first.

But a few seconds passed, and the lady didn't speak. Abner was slightly surprised, and then recalled the original work, only to realize that she might be worrying about Susie's ability to speak at the moment, so her mood is not stable?

Klein, who was sitting upright, also obviously noticed this question. He was about to ask, when Miss Justice seemed to have figured something out. He sat up straight suddenly, and asked:

"Respected Mr. Fool, Mr. Tower who is very knowledgeable, Mr. Hanged Man who always helps me, I have a question to ask, what can a pet with extraordinary power do to help the owner? Simply put, it is What can it do?"

After the words fell, she found that Mister Fool and the Hanged Man fell silent at the same time, while Mr. Tower on one side smiled softly, and said firmly: "Miss Justice, it seems that your close pet drank the potion. , did not get out of control, but gave you a big surprise."

Klein and Alger also guessed the general situation from Miss Justice's tone and question, but one of them was playing the role of a god, so it was inconvenient to speak at this time, and the other did not directly To point it out, that's why Abner took the lead.

all hit! Mr. Ta's reasoning is amazing! Audrey sighed sincerely in her heart, and then looked expectantly at the two gentlemen of 'Tower' and 'The Hanged Man', hoping to get some enlightenment.

It's a pity that Abner didn't intend to answer at all. He set himself up in the Tarot Club as a person who likes to show off mid-to-high-end mystic knowledge. As for such common sense or experience-based questions, it's not actually his forte.

"Justice" Now he can rely on the original book to answer one or two questions, but he may not be able to answer similar questions in the future. So simply ignore such problems from the very beginning, so as not to show timidity in the future.

The Hanged Man, Alger Wilson, saw that the "tower" had no intention of speaking, so he replied in a slightly strange tone:

"An animal with the 'spectator' pathway is still very useful. It can observe and listen in on some occasions instead of you. You know, people will be wary of their own kind, but it is unlikely that they will suspect pets of eavesdropping, even if the pet is Squat at his feet."

Makes sense! Many times, when Dad discusses important matters with other nobles, councilors, and ministers, he will avoid me and lock the door of the study, but as long as Susie can escape the initial cleanup, she will not be driven away... and those Ladies and gentlemen, they also like to communicate in small circles in private...

Audrey's eyes lit up when she heard it, but she suddenly discovered a detail in the Hanged Man's words: Why did he directly affirm that it was an animal of the "spectator" path?

Looking around Mister Fool, Mister Tower and Mister Hanged Man again, Audrey's face changed, and she thought:

Could it be, did you all guess what was going on at that time?

She smiled awkwardly, but luckily there was no one to notice because of the mist. Then Audrey took a deep breath, sat up straight again, and said with a light smile:

"Mr. Fool, I found another page of Emperor Roselle's diary."

"Very well, all the debts you owed have been paid off." Klein replied in a good mood.

Abner also looked up at this time, and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Fool, I also have three pages of diaries to dedicate to you."

He only said 'diary' and didn't mention Roselle, and he knew the true meaning of Roselle's famous saying "Tell the truth, only the truth, and the whole truth".

As soon as he finished his words, he attracted Alger's attention. This gentleman was not surprised that Abner brought three pages of Roselle's diary only a week later, but it made him feel that "Tower" The speculation with a deep background is more convinced.

The new Roselle diary? Klein was refreshed when he heard the words, but he thought of the principle of "equal value exchange" he had established before,

He smiled a little nervously and asked:

"Mr. Tower, what do you need?" It's best if I can get it, otherwise I can only procrastinate.

Abner had thought about this a long time ago, organized his language, and said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Fool, I recently obtained a new 'sealed item', which has the characteristic of 'alive', but I am not very willing to communicate with me , I beg you to make it less resistant to being used, and not to make too many excessive use requirements..."

Sealed item? Can a sealed item with the characteristic of "alive" reduce negative effects in this way? through communication? Why didn't it kill you directly?

Alger and Klein were a little stunned after hearing this. One of them is a Nighthawk, and the other is from the Church of Storms. How often have they not been cautious about the use and handling of sealed items, walking on eggshells? Especially the sealed items with the characteristic of "alive", the degree of danger is several times higher than similar ones! But from the tone of Mr. "Tower", it seems that the sealed item is a disobedient child who needs a beating to be honest?

Audrey on the side was also a little surprised, but because she didn't have a clear idea of ​​the danger of the sealed item, she was the first to recover and asked curiously:

"Mr. Tower, can the 'Sealed Artifact' reduce negative effects through communication?"

Good question, Miss Justice! Abner smiled, glanced at Audrey appreciatively, and said:

"If it is handed over to someone else or other high-ranking beings, it may not be easy to communicate, but Mister Fool is the apex of the path where the sealed item I got recently, and it has no possibility of resistance at all."

The reason why he said this was to reveal to Klein the meaning of "The Fool" and this space, so that he can use Origin Castle to develop more show operations as soon as possible. After all, it is already late July, and time waits for no one.

'The Fool' is the culmination of a certain path? Alger took a deep look at Abner after hearing this, and said firmly in his heart: Mr. 'Tower' also has a great understanding of Mr. Fool, no wonder he didn't know anything about it when he first joined the Tarot Society Nervous... peak, could it be that Mr. Fool is really a revived ancient god?

After listening to Abner's explanation, Audrey was simply proud of Mister Fool's strength.

Such a powerful Mister Fool, the one who can make sealed items obedient and obedient is the host of our Tarot Club!

As long as she thought about it, Audrey wanted to hold a grand ball to announce the news. Of course, just thinking about it.

And Mr. "Fool" sitting on the top was so embarrassed that he almost jumped forward and covered "Tower"'s mouth!

He was a little happy to know the meaning of "The Fool" again, but this "joy" can't solve the substantive problem that he doesn't know how to communicate with the sealed item now.

What should I do? By the way, in the morning, Mr. Ards has admitted that he is a Extraordinary, and he may be very powerful. Maybe he will know a similar method... But what excuse should I use to delay the "Tower" request? ?

Or, let's say that they can't bring items to the fog at the moment? Well, I really don't have the ability to ask them to bring things up now.

Thinking of this, Klein deliberated on the appropriate wording for the Fool's reply to "Tower". Just as he was about to knock on the table with his finger, Abner respectfully asked him again: "Because the sealed item needs to be covered with gray mist, So... Mister Fool, please allow me to hold a sacrificial ceremony to you!"

Only here did Abner reveal the true purpose of his series of actions, which is to make the Tarot Society's exclusive "express" service go online in advance.

In the original book, Klein initially obtained the model of the sacrificial ceremony from "The Sun", and later consulted many people before finally making an attempt.

But Abner didn't want to wait that long, because there was no "express" service, and he couldn't sell items and knowledge in the Tarot Club without a safe collection channel, and the main materials of Sequence 6 were expensive, and there was still a shortfall in money. very big.

Klein snapped his fingers when he heard the words, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted to know what the "Sacrifice Ceremony" was for and how to use it, but he couldn't think of a suitable way to ask for specific details. He felt a little embarrassed for a while.

How could Abner not know what level the current Mister Fool is? He once again begged the Fool to help him realize the writing on paper and pen, and then wrote down a complete set of "sacrifice" and "gift" ritual procedures and related knowledge in detail. After handing it to Mister Fool, he respectfully said: "This is the ritual process I modified based on your honorable name and symbolic items. I don't know if there are any omissions or mistakes. Please take a look."

He was purely making excuses. As a Beyonder of the "reader" path, he was born to be an expert in ritual magic, so there would be no mistakes in such a simple application.

After Mister Fool took over the stack of parchments, although his heart was full of excitement, he just glanced at it calmly, and then replied calmly: "It will take a while to try."

Klein is still unable to judge whether the knowledge handed over by the "Tower" is true and effective. He thought about going back and researching it privately or asking Mr. Azik...

However, this incident also gave him a better excuse to delay, because he had to "try" first, and after "trying" the sacrifice ceremony, he could help the "tower" suppress the sealed item.

"I hope by then, I can find a way!" Klein temporarily heaved a sigh of relief.

And Abner also knew that with Klein's cautiousness, he might not be able to finalize the "sacrifice ceremony" until one or two Tarot meetings, but this was much earlier than in the original book.

So Abner bowed his head happily and said, "Your will is my will."

"The Fool" and "Tower" both got what they needed, and they were both in a good mood, but Alger, who was listening to the whole process of "The Hanged Man", felt hairy at this moment.

Since the orthodox gods have rarely responded to similar rituals, since the Fifth Epoch, the word "sacrifice" has often been equated with evil gods and demons!

Thinking that there might be some terrible consequences, "The Hanged Man" felt that he was walking on the edge of the abyss, and if he was not careful, he would fall, be corroded, and be swallowed.
