"I am 'Doctor Strange'!"
After hearing this declaration, apart from the "Hanged Man", "World" and "Judgment" which had been guessed long ago, even "Justice" was not surprised at all. Instead, it became complacent about its correct "reasoning".
Only Miss "Magician" was extremely surprised. After all, she had just imagined a series of romantic stories between "Doctor Strange" and the female pirate generals, but the protagonist of the story appeared on the opposite side, which inevitably made her feel a little embarrassed.
However, she still developed a strong interest in Mr. "Tower" and decided to ask Xio to help her check what other legendary deeds this gentleman had in the past.
It's a pity that the name "Doctor Strange" has long been tied to Roselle's "Heroes" series. If I write a story with him as the protagonist, I'm afraid people will think I'm continuing the story of "Heroes"…
Just as Fors was daydreaming, Justice Audrey came to her senses first. She looked at Ebner and asked curiously, "Mr. Tower, did Admiral Pale commission you to take action?"
At this point, she seemed to feel that this was suspected of prying into other people's secrets, and quickly added, "Of course, if you feel it is inconvenient, you don't have to answer."
"That's not the case..." Ebner responded with a smile, then after a moment's deliberation, he replied meaningfully, "There is a certain person who doesn't want to see the death of 'Pale Admiral' Maria, and hopes to see through her true colors."
He did not directly mention "Vice Admiral Iceberg" and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. After all, the strength of the Tarot Club members is generally not high, and there is a possibility of leaking secrets.
A certain existence... Hearing Ebner's words, Justice and the Hanged Man subconsciously turned their gazes to Mr. Fool at the top, and they felt a little confused.
Klein was speechless when he saw this, but as the Fool, it was inconvenient for him to speak out and refute it personally. After all, he didn't know who the existence that the Tower was referring to was, so he could only remain silent, neither denying nor admitting it, pretending that he was not interested in this topic.
And strictly speaking, the Tower's words were directed at me. After getting to know the character and deeds of the Pale Admiral, I really didn't want her to die. And because of the Pale Justice, I was also quite curious about her origins... Klein thought with a clear conscience.
Next, after "The Sun" regretfully informed Miss "Justice" that she still hadn't found the formula for "Psychoanalyst", the exchange came to an end.
Klein also ended the Tarot gathering in time before his spiritual energy was exhausted.
The gray fog returned to calm. After praising Mr. Fool, the dummy of The World transformed into the Eye of Black and appeared on the ancient table.
Klein threw it back into the pile of junk, then thought carefully, materialized a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down the divination statement:
"The current location of the 'Wishing Lamp'."
After reciting it silently seven times, he was just about to lean back in his chair and enter a dream, when the space above the gray fog suddenly vibrated violently, as if trying its best to interfere with this divination!
My spirituality is connected to this space, and its vibrations actually represent some of the changes in my spirituality...
So, this is... a spiritual warning? Is it dangerous to directly divine the "Wishing Lamp"? Can't the gray fog block it? But I had no problems divining the "True Creator" and "Eternal Blazing Sun" before...
Is a "0" level sealed object more terrifying than a true god? Another way of thinking, maybe it is not stronger than a true god, but it may have some special connection with the space above the gray fog, so it has such a change... Well, I remember that it is a combination of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Miracle Invoker" and other unknown characteristics, and the "Miracle Invoker" is a Sequence 2 that the Fortune Teller passed through...
Could it be because of this reason?
With many questions in mind, Klein made the divination statement disappear directly from his hand and did not try again. Although the formula of the demigod potion promised by the top leaders of MI9 was tempting, it was not so tempting that he would ignore his own safety.
What's more, I am still far from becoming a demigod, and that high-level person may not have the fortune teller's formula to become a demigod.
Just as Klein was mocking himself, the illusory stars symbolizing the "Magician" and the "Hanged Man" began to expand and contract. This was their request for a sacrificial ceremony.
After some operations, he confirmed that the 230 pounds paid by the "Magician" to buy the "pharmacist" formula was not counterfeit, and then transferred the 3,900 pounds sacrificed by the "Hanged man" to the "Tower". Then, he began to travel back and forth between this mysterious space and the real world, bringing the "master key" to the ancient palace.
Although I inferred from Roselle's diary that there is a high probability that there is no Sequence 0 in the "Apprentice" path, I still can't be reckless. The divination of the "Wishing Magic Lamp" just now was a lesson... As long as there is a possible connection, perhaps Sequence 1 or Sequence 2 can threaten me from a distance... And, what if there is really a Sequence 0? I can't gamble with my life... Klein relaxed for a while and wrote down the divination statement: "Its source."
Then, he held the "master key" and leaned back in his chair, gradually falling asleep while meditating silently.
Soon, in the gray, illusory and fragmented world, he saw a young man from the Abraham family suddenly die on the spot after taking a Sequence 9 potion.
Klein recalled the scene he had just seen. He tapped the edge of the long table with his fingers and said to himself:
"...When you have time, go to the Harvest Church again and ask Bishop Utravsky where he got the master key... maybe you can find some clues."
After making the decision, he was busy helping classmate "Sun" to "awaken" the memory of the Seven Sacred Scriptures.
After doing all this, Klein returned to the real world exhaustedly.
…
Backlund, in a single-family house in the Cherwood Borough. After seeing the light screen appear and the banknotes that had been inserted disappear, Fors was stunned for several seconds before reacting. She sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
The "Pharmacist" formula can be sold to Viscount Glaint for 300 pounds. Don't be too greedy, or it will destroy the long-term cooperative relationship... In addition, I have to find a chance to contact Miss Audrey... Well, there will be a gathering in a few days where the audience formula and clues to the Psychological Alchemy Society may appear. I can use this as an excuse to meet Miss Audrey and buy or borrow Emperor Roselle's diary from her... Finally, I have to ask Xio indirectly for information about "Doctor Strange" and even "Iron Man", who may also be a member of the Tarot Club...
After thinking about it for a while, Fors looked at the blank paper on the table in front of her, stroked her long brown hair, and thought to herself: Xio has a mission tonight and may not be back until very late, so there is no need for me to start writing now... Well, if I write a paragraph before she comes back, I can make up for my previous excuse of "inspiration comes to me".
…
In the City of Silver, in a cramped room.
After praying to Mr. Fool, Derrick the Sun immediately recalled the seven holy books given by Mr. Tower and the information about the Seven Gods obtained from other members.
The names of gods he had never heard of and the seemingly plausible ancient myths were all showing him a new world that was completely different from the area where the City of Silver was located.
"Is that the land blessed by the new god?" Derrick sat in the darkness without making any extra movements. Lightning flashed outside the window from time to time, bringing strong light.
"No, my relevant knowledge is too limited. It is still at the level of general education courses. I can't see the connection between the Seven Gods and the Lord and the ancient gods before the Lord..."
"Phew, since I don't have any patrol missions during this time, I'll go to the spire library and look up some information... Oh, and I have to help Mr. Tower look up some books related to the 'God of Luck'..."
Derrick stood up suddenly and did what he thought.
His problem was also the problem of the vast majority of Silver City residents. When they received liberal arts education, their focus was on practical courses such as "Demonology", "Monster Taxonomy", "Talismanology", and "Basics of the Supernatural", all of which were knowledge that could be used to deal with monsters in the depths of darkness and increase the yield of edible plants. When they listened to auxiliary subjects such as "Mythology", they were often not focused enough.
If it weren't for the fact that the history of the City of Silver could unite the residents and enhance their sense of honor and mission, and the "Six-Man Council" was very strict in this regard, Derrick believed that he could only remember what happened in the last twenty or thirty years at most.
Holding the key to the unknown world in his hand, Derrick immediately went to the library with the attitude of a researcher.
Holding the "Hurricane Axe", Derrick walked out of the house, but before he reached the twin towers in the north of the city, he was stopped by a female warrior with medium-length burgundy hair and not very delicate facial features, but a very majestic look.
She was wearing a very tight leather armor that outlined her fairly good figure.
"Antina, I have something to do in the library." Derrick frowned and said after recognizing the person in the light of lightning.
"There's no rush to go to the library..." As she spoke, the female warrior named Antina forcibly pulled Derrick to the side of the road. Before he could express his dissatisfaction, she whispered, "I heard that you are looking for the formula for 'psychoanalyst'?"
"How do you know?" Derrick immediately became alert when he heard this.
"Don't be so nervous... You know, I want the axe in your hand, so I went to ask about your needs." Antina said with a smile.
Antina was the one who exchanged the "Thousand Magic Phantom Crystal" for Mr. Tower's "Wolf Armor". She had also taken a fancy to Derrick's "Hurricane Axe" and wanted to exchange it with him, but was rejected.
She was not a bad person who would force people to buy or sell things, so she found out what Derrick wanted and stopped him from trying to make another deal.
"Do you have the formula for the Psychoanalyst potion?" Derrick asked with a thought in his mind. This is what Miss Justice needs, and Miss Justice has already obtained the formula for the Bard from Miss Judgment...
"You know, my husband Dolores has a seal of the ability of a 'psychoanalyst', which came from his mother." Although Antina did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear.
Dolores is currently a "weapon master". He and Antina have known each other since childhood and have a mutual affection for each other. Eventually, they began to fall in love when they were teammates in a patrol team, and gradually became husband and wife, and their feelings were very deep.
Being a "weapon master" but not having a weapon that suits him, is the main reason why Antina tried every means to find a powerful weapon for her husband.
After hearing what Antina said, Derrick was immediately in a dilemma: he really needed the formula in her hand to exchange for the " Bard" potion formula, but he also loved the "Hurricane Axe" and didn't want to give it up...
Antina saw Derrick's expression and could roughly guess what he was thinking, but she had no intention of urging him. There was always a smile on her bright face, as if she was sure that Derrick would definitely make the exchange.
After struggling and hesitating for a long time, Derrick gradually came up with an idea. He raised his head and looked at the female warrior who was taller than him. He organized his words and said, "I can't give you the 'Hurricane Axe'... but I can help you find a weapon with similar power... but I won't have any news until next week."
Antina looked at him in surprise but didn't think much about it. After a little thought, she nodded and said, "Okay... But what if I'm not satisfied with the weapon you took out?"
"Then I'll trade you the 'Hurricane Axe'!" Derrick answered without hesitation. Compared to the favorite weapon, the potion formula is more important.
"Very good!" A smile appeared on Antina's bright face again.
Just as they were deciding where to meet next week, they suddenly heard someone nearby greet them:
"Hello, Elder Lovia."
Derrick and Antina looked in the direction of the voice and found that a member of the "Six-Man Council", "Shepherd" Lovia, was walking slowly from the direction of the library.
The two men quickly lowered their heads, put their hands on their chests, and followed other passers-by in greeting.
Lovia was wearing a black robe embroidered with many mysterious purple patterns, and her silver-gray hair was draped in a thick but slightly curly pattern.
Her face was smooth and fair, her eyebrows and eyes were majestic and beautiful, and she looked to be in her early thirties. Her pair of light grey eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul.
"Yeah." Facing the greetings from Derrick and others, Lovia nodded slightly without saying anything more and walked along the road in silence.
Elder Lovia seemed to have become normal again. Unlike before, she would switch between different states irregularly, sometimes crying, sometimes sneering, sometimes snorting, and sometimes being indifferent... This thought flashed through Derrick's mind subconsciously.
Suddenly, he felt inexplicably scared.
Because Elder Lovia is back to normal...
It's normal...
…
In Damir's school, Ebner, who had taken 3,900 pounds of banknotes from the altar, had just finished the ceremony and lifted the spiritual blockade when he saw phantom bats coming in from outside the wall and quickly gathered into the shape of Cullen.
"Is the medicine prepared?" Ebner asked with a smile after greeting him.
"I've already let Lydia drink it. There shouldn't be any problem in the short term... She can prepare it herself after she becomes the 'Potion Professor'." Cullen nodded, then took out an exquisite box from his pocket, handed it to Ebner, and said:
"This is a thank you gift for you."
