Mystery Comes to the Dragon Race

……

Yuan Zhisheng thought that he would suffer the wrath of Mister Fool, but he contradicted the god face to face.

But after hearing Mister Fool's words, even Yuan Zhisheng, who had experienced four baptisms of insanity, didn't know what was going on for a while.

What is the test that Mister Fool mentioned?What he just faced was the test of Mister Fool?To test whether he is an ignorant mortal who only prays to the gods blindly?
and also……

Draw cards?

What card to draw?

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned, completely confused about what happened now.

Sitting at the top, the "Fool" covered in black robe snapped his fingers, and then, a dozen Tarot cards engraved with mysterious patterns appeared in front of Yuan Zhisheng.

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment, seeing that the existence at the top did not stop him, he stretched out his hand to look at the seventy mysterious tarot cards.These include 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards.

He knows a little bit about tarot cards.This is also something that has been deliberately understood since the rise of the Mysterious Church.According to rumors, this church has a certain connection with Tarot.After all, the name of the god they believe in carries a "fool", which is also the first card of the tarot card, and a famous crazy bounty hunter "world"...plus various rumors, So Yuan Zhisheng deliberately supplemented his knowledge about Tarot cards.

Because it was for intelligence research, he was not interested in understanding the popular uses of Tarot cards for love divination, but went straight to the topic and explored its roots.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Zhisheng knew that there are many styles of tarot cards, among which the most classic one is the Wetter Tarot, and the most beautiful one is the Huaying Tarot.Although the faces of each of these tarot cards are different, the implication and the overall type are indeed similar.

Although Yuan Zhisheng is not sure that he can identify any version of the Tarot cards, he can be sure that he has never seen the version that appeared in front of him.

Although he could tell what kind of card it was from the picture on the card, he couldn't recognize the patterns and fonts on it.

But it seems that it is more inclined to the most classic Wetter Tarot?
Yuan Zhisheng found the "Fool" card.The ornately decorated Fool seemed to be smiling at him.

Although the style of painting is different, the basic elements are still the same...

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment, then looked up at "The Fool": "What do you mean by drawing cards?"

The mysterious "Fool" did not directly answer Yuan Zhisheng's doubts, but said with a chuckle: "You are not the only ones who will come here. I have established a secret association on top of this gray fog. They are all from the world. Elites from all over the world are existences recognized by me."

"They can exchange information here, Extraordinary items, equivalent exchange, under my witness.

Each of them is code-named by Tarot cards.Call it the Arcana Conference. "

When Klein mentioned the Arcana Conference, he deliberately removed the word "small" in front of it.Now the Arcana meeting is basically on the right track, even without his clone and Miss Justice, it can be regarded as beginning to take shape.And it's not just the Minor Arcana players anymore.Klein intends to hand over the code name "Emperor" to Lu Mingfei.

This is his recognition of Lu Mingfei.

The code name "emperor" has an unusual meaning for him.The first time he got the "Card of Blasphemy" made by Roselle was "Emperor".The pathway represented by this card is the "Dark Emperor".It is his "cocoon friend" after more than 100 years.Moreover, he also used the image of the "Dark Emperor" to fight for justice for a period of time, which meant a lot to him.

The reason why the code name "Emperor" was given to Lu Mingfei was not only because Lu Mingfei was a true friend after he came to this world, but also because Lu Mingfei's identity was also very suitable for this card. Lu Mingze?

In short, to a certain extent, Lu Mingfei is worthy of this code name.

In fact, Klein originally planned to leave the "Emperor" card to Roselle, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Anyway, that guy Roselle is no longer in this world now, and he cannot become a member of the Tarot Society.You must know that Lao Huang is now a true god.Although it was very hip in front of their old foursome, compared to the other old survivors who were thrown down by him, he was an incredible senior, the kind who robbed all the way out.At the beginning, he was deeply touched.Therefore, even a true god would not join the Tarot Club, so why not give Lu Mingfei the code name of "Emperor".

Although the current Lu Mingfei has not yet fully joined the Arcana meeting, Klein had promised this kid before that he would bring him to this party.

So Klein has acquiesced that Lu Mingfei is a member of the Minor Arcana.It is precisely because of this that after the "Emperor" joins the Minor Arcana in this world, it cannot just be called the Minor Arcana Conference. It is better to directly call it the Arcana Conference.

The reason why it is not called Tarot Club is to distinguish it from the Tarot Club in the original world.Of course, the Arcana here is still a branch of the Tarot Society.

"Arkana?" Yuan Zhisheng murmured, and looked around subconsciously, and suddenly he understood.

No wonder they couldn't find the high-level members of the mysterious church, and the only high-level people who knew a little bit was "The World"... It turned out that they held meetings and transactions in such a secret place, who could find it.

And to a certain extent, this Arcana meeting is indeed very tempting. There is a fog of events everywhere here, and no one can identify the true identities of other people. They can only see a rough outline. Well kept private and understated.

In addition, the intelligence transactions here have unfathomable existence as witnesses, even if they want to deceive, they are provoking the majesty of the great existence...

Members are elites from all over the world, they can exchange information regardless of other factors...

This Arcana meeting seems to be hanging out!
Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help expressing emotion after knowing the existence of the meeting.

He also quickly understood what Mister Fool meant.

"You mean... I passed your test, so I can join that Arcana meeting?" Yuan Zhisheng asked in confirmation.

"That's right, you can choose to draw a card as your code name. In the Arcana Conference, you can exchange your resources for other people's resources. Their abilities are not inferior to yours, and some are even comparable to the Dragon King." .Maybe you can find the answer you need from this meeting."

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a while, and put his hand on the back of the tarot card...

"Drawing cards..."

He murmured under his breath.After that, he intuitively drew a card out of the messed up Tarot cards.

Turn over this card.

The card depicts a demon with a beast's body and horns and bird thorns. There are two bound men and women under its feet. Horns grow from their heads, representing them as disciples of the demon.

Tarot - [Devil]

This...Looking at the ferocious and terrifying demon on the card, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help frowning.

Yuan Zhisheng stared at this kind of tarot card.He has a certain impression of explaining the Tarot...

If he remembers correctly, the [Devil] card is not a good card, it represents desire and bondage.

"Interesting, you actually drew this card." At the top, the voice of the mysterious "Fool" also seemed to be a little surprised.

The composition of the devil card is very similar to that of the lover card, except that the angel of the lover card is replaced by a demon here, Adam and Eve have already fallen, and the blessing of heaven has become a curse.

The devil in the card has bat wings, horns, lamb legs and bird feet, symbolizing the instinct and nature of animals.Its donkey ears represent stubbornness.The inverted five-pointed star on the devil's head points to the ground, representing the material world.The demon's right hand is raised in a gesture of black magic, in contrast to the Pope's gesture of blessing.

The palm symbol represents Saturn, the planet of limitation and inertia, and the ruler of Capricornus.The demon holds a torch in his left hand, which also leads down to the material world, seeming to incite the desire of men.Note that the place where the devil sits is not a cube in three-dimensional space, but a rectangle in two-dimensional space, which symbolizes that people only see the reality seen by the senses, but not the whole reality, just like a blind man touching an elephant.

The devil sat squatting, his claws gripping a long black cubic stone, which was the altar of the devil.A large metal ring was fastened in front of the cubestone, and two iron chains were attached to the ring, leading to two vassal slaves.

The two iron chains were placed around the necks of the man and the woman respectively.Because the man and woman themselves have fallen, horns have grown on their heads, and evil tails have also grown. They are already in the form of little devils and their souls have leaned towards the devil.Both had their tails upturned.

The tip of the man's tail is a flame, and the woman's is a grape, both of which are the fruits of the lover's card tree, indicating that they have misused their talents.The two were chained, and at first glance there was nowhere to escape, but upon closer inspection, the chains tied around their necks were actually very loose, and they could break free at any time if they wanted, but they did not, indicating that the chains belonged to themselves Put it on yourself.

The background of the devil card is all black, and there is no light, representing spiritual darkness.The background is dark and dark, and it also has the feeling of fire of desire.Judging from the overall picture, the vitality and vigor are still exuberant, and the enthusiasm is even more intense.It's just that the spirit tends to the dark side, and the energy is focused on narrow areas, or performing plots that the world does not agree with.

Klein performed a simple divination.

"I see, your birthday is December 12th." The fool at the top was still so calm, "Capricorn. And the devil corresponds to Capricorn in astrology."

"And... the opposition of matter and mind."

"This means that you are like those who are bound in the Tarot cards. There are chains on your body."

"It's really pitiful. From the very beginning, it was destined to bear the fate of the Eight Snake Family, and it was called Amaterasu's fate."

"But in fact, you also hope to realize your ideals and desires."

"My...desire?" Yuan Zhisheng asked back as if talking to himself.

Is it possible to sell sunscreen?
All he wanted was to find a friend, sell suntan lotion on the beach, and lazily be a tortoise.

Can this be called the [devil's] desire?
Yuan Zhisheng was very confused.

"Among the devil cards, people are tied to the shackles of desire. But for you, it's different. The shackles are borne by your family." Klein said with a smile.

As a professional magician, he is much more proficient in these researches than Yuan Zhisheng.He can call himself the best fortune teller in the world without any guilt!

Moreover, he also knew Yuan Zhisheng's fate.

As the last tortoise on Pinta Island, he has burdened too much, and the "demon" named family bound him tightly.

Klein noticed that at the beginning, when Yuan Zhisheng took out the cards, the position of the [Demon] card was reversed.

Reversed demon.

To some extent, this card is indeed not an ideal card, even if it is reversed, it is possible to achieve a deeper level of depravity.He will be bound by layers of chains and finally fall into the bottomless abyss.

The chain is hard and fixed, and it is difficult to break it with external force, but it also shows from the picture that an individual can remove it from the head, and the difficulty of breaking free lies in one's determination.This card shows a decision, a past decision, that limits the present, binds oneself and others, and makes life seem like a vassal.

He can obviously live freely, but now he is dancing with shackles on his back.

This kind of shackles is unreasonable, but it is a naive choice.Since the moment his sharp blade pierced his younger brother's heart, he has been burdened with heavy shackles.

His choice is to continue on this road, and he will never stop, because his shoulders carry the family, the blood relationship, and the past.

He obviously doesn't want to inherit the status of the patriarch of the Sheqi Ba Family, but because he wants to fulfill his father's wish, end the history borne by the Sheqi Ba Family, destroy the burial place, and move forward with a heavy fate.Obviously he is just an ordinary person longing for a peaceful life and family affection.

However, this is a raw choice.

"Are you willing to end like this?" Klein sighed.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent, lowering his eyes, covering up the turmoil in his heart.

"I just want to go to the beach to sell sunscreen." Yuan Zhisheng said lightly.

"Really? Is it really that simple?" Klein smiled, "Isn't what you want the freedom of ordinary people?"

Yuan Zhisheng didn't speak.

He was already too tired, and that little desire could be called extravagant.

"So, what do you think?" Klein said with a light smile.

"You can continue to be the young patriarch of the Bajia of Snake Qi, but at the same time, you can also be the 'Mr. Demon' of the Mysterious Church. Under this identity, you can release your desires to your heart's content."
