Mystery: Start with the Reader

Miss "Justice" finally successfully bought the pair of "Dragon Eyes" earrings for 400 gold pounds.

Although the men present here from "The World" and "The Hanged Man" are also very attracted by the "Dragon Power" ability, these earrings are women's accessories after all and are not suitable for them to wear.

As for "Magician" and "Temperance"?

The former is indeed very greedy, but after she bought the "blood of deep-sea marlin" from "The Hanged Man", she only had less than 50 pounds left in her savings, and the price of 400 pounds was enough to put her off.

The latter itself has spiritual attack methods such as "Wraith Scream" that are not inferior to "Dragon Power", so there is no need for this item.

After seeing that the deal was finalized, "Judgment" Xio canceled the previous "earring" screen and revealed a new transaction item.

It was a cone-like "jewel", and in the light that was constantly refracted, one could see layers of complex symbols extending into the void, as if it was communicating reality and illusion at all times.

Even just looking at the image, the Tarot Club members present seemed to feel an illusory sting in their spirits.

It feels real and fake, but it also reflects the extraordinary nature of this cone-shaped object!

"This is a quasi-advanced talisman. Mr. Tower calls it the 'spiritual breath' talisman. When activated, it can directly stimulate and damage the target's mental and spiritual bodies. If the target is struck by lightning, the spirit will be torn and the spiritual body will be torn apart. It seems to have been penetrated!

"The difference between it and the real 'Psychic Dragon's Breath' is that it has a smaller range, and its power cannot penetrate the demigod-level psychic protection. It is a weakened version of the 'Dragon's Breath', so it is said to be a quasi-advanced spell.

“But even so, it is still the top treasure among demigods.

"This 'spiritual breath' spell is also valid for 8 months. It can only be used once. It sells for 3,000 gold pounds and has an additional task."

After Xio recited the exact words Abner said when he asked her to sell it on behalf of her, he turned his attention to "Justice" and "The World". According to Abner, these two people should be the most interested in this spell and also buy it. People who can afford it, especially the latter.

Speaking of which, in order to make this quasi-advanced talisman, Abner almost used up all the blood of the demigod dragon in his hand before finally succeeding.

However, Abner does not feel sorry for this. After all, the divinity contained in the blood has been rapidly draining away since it was taken away from the dream courtyard shrouded in dusk. Even if it is not used, after he refines the bone dragon, the blood It is estimated that it can only be used as ordinary spiritual materials.

On the other side, after listening to Miss Judgment’s introduction, the eyes of “Justice” Audrey and others lit up little by little.

They were no longer newcomers to the mysticism and extraordinary fields. It was not difficult for them to recognize the value of the spell Miss Judgment presented. Even if it could only be used once, it was a powerful item that could be used as a "trump card" to turn the tide of the battle.

The price of 3,000 pounds for something like this is definitely not high... but rather very cheap.

Among them, the person with the highest purchasing desire is naturally Mr. Fool himself.

As early as when Mr. "Tower" handed the charm to Miss "Judgement" through himself, he had already thought about it.

After all, he has only been in this world for less than half a year and has already encountered many life-threatening dangers. With a high-level spell in his pocket, he will be more confident, right?

Moreover, since Miss Justice pays him a "Zillingos Bounty" of 3,000 pounds every month, even if he buys many more extraordinary items compared to the original work, Klein's financial situation is still better than that of the same period. It's much better. It's affordable to spend at least 3,000 pounds to buy a "life-saving" charm.

As for the so-called mission, Klein also knew about it in advance, so he was well prepared. He believed that no one else could compete with him.

I just don’t know why Mr. “Tower” wants information about those things?

"The Hanged Man" Alger looked at the embodied talisman in the center of the long table and sighed helplessly. He really can't afford that much money at the moment, and 8 months is still a bit short. Maybe it will expire without being used at all... Wouldn't that be a big loss?

"The Sun" is actually very attracted to high-level spells, but he doesn't have gold pounds, and he is still being monitored by high-level officials recently. He cannot "sacrifice" materials from Silver City at will, so he can only look back with regret.

"Magician" Foersi stopped thinking about unnecessary things after Miss "Judgment" told the price, and concentrated on admiring the appearance of the spell, accumulating materials for his own.

As for Miss Temperance, she sat motionless on the high-backed chair, like an exquisite doll, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

At this time, "Justice" Audrey raised her hand slightly and asked:

"Miss Judgment, what is the accompanying task?"

"Collect relevant information on the extraordinary items such as swords and seals made by Russell." Xio recounted Abner's conditions.

The extraordinary items of swords and seals created by Russell? "Justice" Audrey was suddenly in trouble. She had never paid attention to this information, and she didn't know where to go to ask.

Maybe someone in the "Psychological Alchemy Society" knows... But I have to go through at least two or three weeks of investigation before I can officially join... Audrey pursed her lips. She felt that the other members might not give her this time.

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Mr. "World" said in a hoarse voice: "I know the two swords, and I am sure that they were both made by Russell... Well, Mr. Fool is the witness."

After speaking, he materialized a pen and paper and wrote down the information about the relevant items he learned from "Roselle's Diary".

Xio didn't expect that "The World" happened to have such information, so he was stunned for a moment, then took the parchment handed over by the other party, nodded and said: "Mr. Tower and I naturally trust Mr. Fool's fairness. "

Then, she lowered her head and glanced at the content written on the paper: "'Pale Justice'... Bruna... 'Golden Snake Sword'... Karen..."

After confirming that the origins of these two weapons were very clear and that they should meet Abner's needs, Xio was satisfied and finalized the deal on the "Psychic Breathing" spell with "The World".

Since they were all companions of the "Tarot Society" and Audrey's need for high-end talismans was not too urgent, she gave up the idea of ​​bidding and just watched with some pity as the image of the talisman disappeared above the long table.

After the transaction was completed, Miss "Judgement" returned to silence, because the members had no other needs for the time being, so after "The Hanged Man" Alger repeated the requirements for the "Ocean Singer" formula, Tarot will enter free communication session.

"Justice" Audrey looked around the long table and took the lead in sharing: "The bill on environmental protection, air pollution control, and basic protection for workers has been submitted to the parliament. The old and new parties are currently fighting fiercely over this matter. argue."

I know this. Because of this, Mrs. Mary, who hired me to catch an adulterer, also received a threatening letter... It seems that my judgment was correct. That letter was indeed a trap, a trap set up by myself. It is to incite the people and use their anger to allow the investigation of air pollution to proceed smoothly and to make subsequent bills beneficial to itself...

Recalling what Mrs. Mary said when she asked him for help, Klein, who was hidden behind the gray mist, nodded thoughtfully.

The New Party Ball in Tingen also had this reason, right? Judging from the information I checked afterwards, Miss Audrey's brother Hibbert Hall also participated in the dance... He himself is the chief secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission...

However, it seems that the Lord danced with a demigod witch suspected to be the "White Saint" at the ball... Do you want to mention this to Miss Audrey?

Although the Church of the Night has secretly checked and confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the Lord...

Thinking this in my heart, I saw that other people had very little reaction to the information told by Miss Justice, so I thought about it and followed Audrey's topic and briefly mentioned the matter of the "White Saint" sneaking into Baron Tingenhoy's ball. Mentioned.

Tingen? Hearing this familiar name, "The Fool" Klein was instantly attracted to his attention, but he quickly controlled his emotions and controlled "The World"'s body to lean forward slightly.

"Temperance" Sharon also happened to turn her head and glance at "The World" at this time.

Through the shared experience on the fifth floor of the "Dream Maze Tower", she knew the bond between Sherlock and Tingen.

"'White Saint'? Who is she?" Audrey was shocked when she heard that her brother danced with a figure that MI9 valued very much, but she still used her "audience" ability He regained his composure and asked curiously.

She had never asked Her Highness Vera this question, so she knew the answer. Moreover, she had no intention of making money from this knowledge, so she briefly introduced:

"The 'White Saint' Katarina is the Witch Path Sequence 3, the 'Eternal Witch' who has lived from the Fourth Age to the present!"

Sequence 3? The immortal witch? An antique from the Fourth Age? Audrey, Alger, Klein and others were all a little stunned when they heard this, and felt deeply that the characters discussed in the Tarot Club were becoming more and more high-end.

It was obviously just a party organized by the New Party, so how could such a terrifying witch be involved?

Confused, Audrey asked: "Why did an 'ageless witch' sneak into the new party's dance?"

It can't be to seduce my brother, right?

"I guess she came here for Baron Larry...that baron also appeared in Tingen at that time, and there was something about him that attracted the witch."

Xio said this, and after asking Mr. "Fool" for instructions, the scene of the "Evil Dragon Bar" underground market was revealed. She deliberately hid the figures of herself and Her Highness Vera, and only showed Baron Larry and three The battle of the Gnosis members.

Afterwards, Xio reminded him solemnly:

"Baron Larry may be involved in the secret of the 'Daniel Treasure'. Behind him are many secret organizations and spies from other countries tracking him, which is very dangerous!

"In addition, he may have infiltrated Backlund... If anyone encounters him, please report it to the authorities or tell me."

Baron Larry...the one wanted by the kingdom? Why did he run back to Backlund? Do you want to take advantage of Russell's theory of "darkness under the light"? "Justice" Audrey was slightly relieved after hearing that the "White Saint" was not targeting her brother, but she had new doubts.

Baron Larry? The one who might know the location of the Ghost Empire? Then it's not surprising that there are so many secret organization personnel behind him... He was able to go without being caught for so long, so maybe he really got some benefits...

Of course, judging from the slightly negative reactions of both the kingdom and the church, there may be some deeper calculation.

"The Hanged Man" Alger thought of Prince Mountbatten who had accepted the protection of the church, and felt that the water inside might be very deep.

At this moment, Mr. Fool was staring at the girl who was blocked by Baron Larry in the scene of "Judgment", and the anger in his heart rose uncontrollably.

But the scene stopped here. He had no idea what happened next, and he didn't even dare to think about how Larry escaped!

He used the gray fog to cover him up, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down a little. Then he controlled "The World" and asked: "Two assassins attacked, how did Larry escape?"

"Judgement" Xio looked at "The World" strangely, not understanding why he cared about this, but still explained: "I couldn't just watch people from these secret organizations hurt innocent people, so I took action to repel the two assassins. And Baron Larry also took this opportunity to escape from the underground using extraordinary items.”

Phew...Mr. "Fool" took a deep breath and blocked everyone's senses for a moment, preventing them from hearing the words that blurted out: "Thank you...Miss Xio!"

Then, Klein controlled "The World" and nodded gently, saying sincerely: "I see, thank you for your answer, Miss Judgment."

Xio looked at him strangely again, feeling that Mr. World today seemed a little unusual.

Others also felt that something was wrong, but they didn't care. Only Miss Temperance probably guessed the reason, but she was also not prepared to delve into it.

After Ms. "Judgment" finished sharing her knowledge, "The Hanged Man" Alger wanted to talk about the Church of War's wanted "Iron Man" and "Doctor Strange", but considering that Mr. "Tower" is not here now, there are It was not good to talk about his previous identity like this behind his back, so he suppressed it for the time being.

Later, after "The Sun" talked about the changes in Silver City's surveillance of him, the Tarot Club ended.

…

Backlund, in the townhouse at No. 15 Minsk Street.

After playing with the "Eye of the Dragon" for a while, Klein brought it back above the gray fog, then lifted the "spiritual wall" and went out to the Cragg Club, where he planned to have dinner.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the equestrian teacher Talim Dumont sitting in a secluded place, thinking about something.

After waiting for a while to see dinner, Klein approached and said hello with a smile:

"Talim, I have collected some more information about the Rogue Black Emperor. I will give it to you after dinner."

He had previously received a commission from Talim to investigate the rogue "Black Emperor", and the client was suspected to be Prince Edsac.

"Ah... don't be in a hurry..." Talim suddenly woke up. After seeing who it was, he turned around and said, "Sherlock, I'm actually waiting for you... I... I have a commission. I want to ask you a favor!"
