The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Chapter 817 The Church and the Abyss

The first time he participated in the so-called "Tarot Club", Leonard was very vigilant and began to look at the surrounding members as soon as he came above the gray fog.

The most intuitive feeling is that the number of people is very small. Except for Mr. "Fool" sitting at the top, there are only nine people in the whole party, and even including himself, a newcomer, not even the seats in the hall are full.

But considering that this is the legendary "Parliament before God", it is normal for the number of people to be smaller, and everyone must have their own special identity and reasons for joining the "Tarot Club".

I am because of Pales' parasitism, but what about others?

While thinking to himself, Leonard suddenly noticed that Mr. Fool was looking at him, and took the initiative to introduce him:

"This is Mr. Star."

Mr. "Star". Why does this title sound a little weird? Leonard immediately stood up and imitated the others in giving a sincere greeting to Mr. "Fool".

After the short greeting session, everyone was still observing secretly. The newly added "Star" Leonard was naturally the one who was observed the most. However, there were exceptions. For example, Klein focused most of his attention on Louise.

.

He remembered very clearly that the reason why Leonard dared to recite the honorable name of "The Fool" was precisely because he was bewitched by Miss "Strength". Although it is not appropriate to describe it as bewitched, Klein felt that there must be something in it.

A deeper reason.

Sure enough, Klein keenly discovered that most of the members of the "Tarot Society" were surprised and curious about the newcomer Leonard, but Miss Power was the only one who acted very calmly, as if she had already guessed that there would be a new member today.

Like a member joining?

It seems that you did the right thing by accepting Leonard?

Soon, "Hermit" Cattleya spoke up to break the silence on the gray fog. She first glanced at Miss "Strength" beside her, then stood up and said respectfully:

"Mr. Fool, I found two pages of Russell's diary."

Well, Leonard was surprised for the first time when he heard the term "Russell's Diary", but that's not important. The point is that Klein was also surprised, because the diaries in Bernadette's hands are usually entrusted to

Miss "Strength" handed it over, but this time it was suddenly brought up by Ms. "Hermit". Why is this?

Thinking that Bernadette has left Backlund and no longer gets along with Miss "Power" day and night, and even Russell's diary has been replaced, is there really a conflict between the two of them?

He was a little curious, but after a while he found that no one submitted a new Roselle diary, so Klein had no choice but to collect his thoughts and took the two pages of the diary that Ms. "The Hermit" had manifested into his hand.

Whether it is Miss Power or Bernadette, I can't afford to offend him, so I'd better pretend that I don't know what to do!

My eyes fell on the first page of the diary, which read:

"On May 18th, I always had nightmares during this period. I dreamed that I was wearing silver-gray ancient armor and sitting on the edge of a cliff. In front of me was a silent black mist that could not be seen at the bottom. It was full of depravity.

Different from Xie, just seeing it will affect me. In the end, dark and complex patterns grew on my face as I was monitoring the abyss, my skin became hard, there was a vague viscous liquid flowing on the surface, and my eyes were completely lost.

reason."

"This is a reflection of the abyss. This is a reflection of the abyss I saw and tried to enter last month!"

It was mentioned in the previous diary that Russell once broke into the abyss when his rank was not high, and it was his initiative to take risks, and something went wrong.

Klein secretly despised this in his heart. Who made Russell so arrogant? Do you understand the importance of being cautious?

The diary did not write down Russell's subsequent solution, but considering the emperor's ability, this is not difficult, and the abyss will most likely not be the cause of Russell's subsequent madness.

Of course, this is just Klein's guess, but he is relatively confident. After all, the abyss is scary enough, but at least there are many Beyonders on the "abyss" path. Even they are alive and well, and Russell must be the same.

This negative impact can be avoided, not to mention that the emperor did not explore the abyss too deeply.

After thinking for a while, Klein turned to the second page of his diary and continued reading.

"On October 12th, a strange little church was discovered that may be related to the worship of faith before the Fourth Age."

"The church is located in a small mountain town called Beimang. All the houses have protruding domes, just like wearing a white straw hat. It is very distinctive. Only when you actually enter the church will you find the difference."

"There is only one priest in the church. He is a gentle and reserved middle-aged man, wearing a simple white robe, with a light golden beard that almost covers the lower half of his face, and a pair of light-colored eyes as clear as a child."

"He called this place the temple of the Creator. Creatures of any race and believers of any god can enter."

"In front of the church, there is a simple shrine with a man carrying a cross inside. This should be the so-called statue of the Creator."

This page of the diary seemed to be just an anecdote, but Klein felt that it was not that simple. After all, as far as he knew, apart from the Silver City in the Land Abandoned by God, there was only one organization in the northern and southern continents that believed in the so-called "Creator", and

That organization is called the "Twilight Hermits", and its leader is the son of the Creator, the "Angel of Visions" Adam.

In particular, Russell is also a member of the "Twilight Hermits", so it is very interesting that he found this church.

There is one thing that is not clear. Did Russell join the "Twilight Hermits" first or discover this church first?

In other words, Russell came to the church that believed in the Creator and met the unknown priest. Could it be some kind of test for new members of the "Twilight Hermits"?

Well, Miss Power is also a member of the Twilight Hermits. She should have more say in this matter. However, it is a pity that Klein does not dare to ask. Curiosity is on the one hand, but he does not have to know the truth. He is not Luo

That reckless man Serge.

So, after finishing his thinking, Klein put away the diary in his hand, looked in the direction of Ms. "Hermit" and asked:

"What do you want in exchange?"

Cattleya actually has a lot of doubts in her heart. This is the first time she has obtained Russell's diary from Her Royal Highness the Queen. It makes people wonder if there is a disagreement between the Queen and "Power"?

Maybe there is still some joy? She couldn't tell clearly. In short, her mood was a bit complicated, but Cattleya couldn't ask the Queen or "power", so she could only temporarily suppress her emotions and replied solemnly:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I have a question. Is the tomb of Emperor Russell in the abyss?"
