Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Monday, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Klein looked at the figures one after another. They appeared from the light of the crimson stars and gathered on their respective seats, making the long bronze table no longer calm and silent.

The Fool's gaze inadvertently glanced at the high-backed chair with the "Stealer" symbol, then took it back, smiling in response to Justice's greeting.

"Justice" was not in a very good mood. Just yesterday, when she reported to Mr. "The Fool" that Hvin Rambis, a senior executive of the Psychological Alchemy Society, had disappeared and was wanted by the three major churches, she got An intelligence feedback from Mr. "World".

Then "Justice" learned part of the truth that shocked her:
King George III actually colluded with the Witch Sect and the Psychological Alchemy Society to conduct human trafficking and disappearances, including allowing the tragedy of Backlund's Great Smog, all in order to plan a huge secret operation.

For a long time, the young lady who had been loyal to the royal family, trusted in the country, and lived under flowers suddenly felt the collapse of her concept.

As an "audience", she could restrain her emotions in front of her family, but when she came to the regular Tarot meeting, she saw the "world" and remembered that he would tell the members about the previous things at the Tarot meeting. After issuing a warning, "Justice" couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, she still keenly noticed that in addition to the blasphemy card, Mr. Fool also had a rusty green cross in his hand.

Soon, both "The Hanged Man" and "The Hermit" also noticed such a thing. If it can be placed together with the blasphemous card with the path to becoming a god, then its background must be considerable. Several people silently guessed in their hearts. , only the feeling of "sun" is different.

The cross exuded a warm attraction, making "Sun" feel the invisible call. He quickly thought of the "Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation", which is often mentioned in the general courses of Silver City and is the basic basis of extraordinary characteristics. rule!

"The Sun" subconsciously leaned forward, becoming even more curious. He didn't know that the cross was the sealed object of the "Sun" path sequence.

The two people who sacrificed the cross to "The Fool", "Magician" and "Judgement", thought they were concealed and glanced in the direction of each other. The "Hermit" Quan, who was sandwiched between them, did not look at it. arrive.

However, before "Justice" had time to ask, "The Hermit" had already taken the lead in handing over a page of Russell's diary to the host of the meeting.

Mr. Fool’s reading time could not be interrupted, so Justice had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.

Klein looked at the paper in his hand. Even though it was obscured by gray fog, it seemed from his fingers slowly tapping on the table that he was immersed in some kind of thinking.

Huang Tao was able to make a complete set of blasphemy cards because he had seen the second blasphemy tablet, but the content he had seen was incomplete. "The trend of the times", taking magic potions to be promoted at key moments of the times, is this the ritual for "audience" sequence zero to become a god?
If this is the opportunity that the "Utopian Angel" wants, then what is he planning for George III?
No one handed in new diaries. After "The Fool" signaled everyone to start today's meeting, "Justice" quickly seized this opportunity, raised his hand curiously and asked:

"Dear Mr. Fool, does that cross in your hand have any special meaning? If the answer requires equivalent exchange, you can directly request it."

"The Fool" smiled calmly: "This question is nothing. It is a relic of the ancient sun god."

Then he said something unintentionally: "Its level is not very high, it only corresponds to the 'Undark One'. It can remove the mental pollution in the extraordinary characteristics, and help people who take excess potions to extract the characteristics, so that those who do not want to Those who remain in the extraordinary world return to the ordinary.”

Such a strange effect made the long table quiet for a few seconds. Then the "Sun" and the "Hanged Man" both asked if they could exchange or rent such items. The generous "Fool" readily agreed, but the "Magician" There was a hint of regret - she hadn't had time to use "Lemano's Travel Notes" to record the corresponding abilities of the cross.

However, if you can rent it, you will have another chance in the future, so you won’t miss out on a unique item in vain.Thinking of this, "Magician" returned to his previous optimism.

The transaction process was unremarkable. As the levels of the participating members gradually increased, every time someone raised a new demand, the rest of the people had to spend more time to confirm whether the corresponding material was circulating through the corresponding channels.

Until the end of the transaction, "The World" made a request to "Stars", asking the other party to help ask "Pales Zoroastrian" if he had seen the second "blasphemous tablet".

After that, as if telling justice, "The World" directly informed everyone at the long table of the conspiracy of King George III of Loen, including him who secretly sent people to dig out the "Blood Emperor" and colluded with the Witch Sect and the Psychological Alchemy Society. , various actions of sending materials and people underground.

Klein did not shy away from the existence of the "Devil". Of all the people present, it was the "Devil" who listened the most seriously. However, he kept groping with his fingers, making small movements like turning cigarette butts, which exposed the "Devil's" inner anxiety. Turning thoughts.

This is more detailed than what Mr. "World" told me before... "Justice" silently clenched his fists, subconsciously worrying about his father.

Finally, "The World" hoarsely pointed out the current doubts:

“It is worth noting that the three major churches failed to find enough evidence. With the disappearance of Hvin Rambis, things seemed to have calmed down temporarily.

"But everything has been cleaned up too cleanly. There are certain reasons to suspect that there may be betrayers among the top leaders of the three major churches. At least we must be mentally prepared for this situation."

He originally wanted to say that he was at war with Viscount Stratford, and that his father's death was probably related to the "trial" of the royal family's secrets. He was stunned to digest the information thrown out by "the world". The clues that once felt far away suddenly became within reach. and. "Judgment" recalled her father, her loyalty to the royal family, and her piety to the church, and for a while she had no intention of speaking again.

"Devil" snapped his fingers: "This thing has been going on for a long time. It has been arranged since last year, even long before the 'Corn Act' was implemented in Loon, right? Human trafficking in the maritime colonies suddenly became prevalent. "

"The World" nodded: "You weren't here yet at that time. Behind the great smog incident was the cooperation between the royal family, the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society. Now it seems that there is also a psychological alchemy society working on their behalf. cover."

"So the number of missing people in the Great Smog is actually more than the number of deaths in question. They falsely reported that number." The "Devil" looked away from "The World" and simply revealed what he had found.

But this is enough. Now everyone is holding a clear enough thread in their hands, as if they are holding on to the cable of a drastic change. Once they let go, they will fall into a huge whirlpool at any time amid the bumps.

After just a moment of confusion, the people around the table gradually regained their motivation.

The "Hanged Man" who is eager to make contributions and get promoted in the changing situation, and the "Hermit" who understands why the mysterious queen stays in Backlund, hope that this time the "Moon" will not usher in a disaster like the great smog... …

"Justice" offered to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Hvin Rambis, and "Judgment" briefly talked about how she had traced the king's secret.

"The World" immediately reminded: "Pay attention to whether there are too many coincidences around you. If so, please notify me immediately."

After a two-second pause, he added: "Also, if you see 'Lover' or a light similar to that around her, please pray to Mr. Fool immediately."

There was silence at the long table for a while.

The subsequent communication time passed quickly, and as the light surged, the members of the Tarot Club disappeared from their seats.

"Devil" and "The World" were left alone on their respective high-backed bronze chairs. "The Fool" smiled and nodded to the two of them, disappearing in a burst of gray mist.

It seems to be a very considerate move, leaving space for the two of them to communicate alone. In fact, all the movements here should not be hidden from him...

"Devil" sighed in his heart. It didn't matter that "The Fool" knew about this matter. After all, "The World" was a favored one, and "The Fool" would understand his situation sooner or later.

"World"'s voice was hoarse: "What do you want to say?"

"Someone is tracking down Gehrman Sparrow. If he appears again, he is likely to attract that person's attention."

"The World"'s hood raised slightly: "Who is it?"

"It's an angel...an ancient angel of the 'divineer' path, the leader of the organization I belong to. He has already come to Backlund."

"Devil" can feel the attitude of scrutiny. "The World"'s scrutiny is not out of distrust, but another kind of silent inquiry: "Isn't this very confidential information? How do you know?"

"Devil" shook his head: "If you are walking on the street and someone else's marionette shoves a newspaper into your mouth as a warning, you will also feel that this world is too damn small."

"Then if you tell me now, won't you put yourself in danger?"

The "Devil" was quiet for a few seconds, and he looked around the empty seats indifferently: "If I tell you, at least you will be mentally prepared for this. I guess you should have a sealed artifact from the 'Abraham' family, because You end up in weird places all the time, including in between those news stories."

"The World" did not deny that the "Devil" defaulted to him as "Gehrman Sparrow", and considered the words to respond: "In any case, thank you for telling me this matter. If you have any needs, 'The Fool' 'Sir wouldn't mind lending a hand."

The "Devil" clenched his hands subconsciously: "I know. If I couldn't afford the price, I would definitely ask Mr. Fool to take action..."

He quickly restrained his hatred and chuckled: "But those are not important anymore, do you hear it? The footsteps of war are getting closer and closer to us."

"Have you obtained enough information for divination?"

"How is it possible? This is just a premonition of a homeless person." "Devil" replied in a tone without any fluctuations.
