Perfume Alchemist

The next day, Ah Hao came to the Arcane Association early.In the association in the early morning, there were not many arcanists.What's more, the staff is cleaning up the expired task information on the task wall.

Ah Hao sat on the bench at the entrance for a while, and then saw Shirley and Ilya.

"Hey! This way." After the two came over, he looked at Ilya, "How's it going, did you get anything yesterday?"

Ilya nodded anxiously: "It can be regarded as some gains."

"How to say?"

Shirley took out a card from her bag: "We went to [Fate Watch] Arcana to do Tarot divination yesterday, and predicted the current state of Ilya's father. This is the result of the divination."

Ah Hao flipped over the card, and saw a fully armed knight drawn by the card.He is riding on a white horse and holding a black banner.

On the top of the card, there is a line of upside-down swashbuckling characters.After Ah Hao flipped the card over, he read it out slowly:
"grim Reaper?!"

Although he didn't know much about Tarot cards, the Grim Reaper would not be a symbol of auspiciousness no matter how he looked at it.

"It's the Reaper in reverse!" After Shirley emphasized, she turned her head and glanced at Ilya again.

Illya continued: "The fortune teller explained that the [Death] card represents my dad's current situation: an irresistible threat is lying in front of him.

"However, the reversed card also shows that he still has a glimmer of hope of returning from the dead. When some miracles can be expected, he will achieve greater achievements in the tribulation."

Ahao breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't sound too bad. It's a pity that we still don't know what happened to Mr. Howard. Can't the fortune teller help to find out what the so-called threat is?"

Shirley shook her head: "No way. Arcana can only make one divination for one person in a short period of time. He gave us this card, saying that if we are lucky, we can find some clues from the card."

"Is this card generated by his ability? Are all cards different?"

"Yes, behind his door is actually a small world with a tarot card style. Therefore, there is a very small chance that his tarot cards will generate mysterious cards with clues."

Illya walked up to Ah Hao, pointed to the Tarot cards and said, "It's a pity that we studied all night yesterday, but we didn't find any so-called clues."

Ah Hao pinched the card and tilted it slightly left and right, trying to find some clues from it.

The light source on the ceiling moves across the card from left to right.Ah Hao found something strange along the light.

Among the black banners held high by the knights, there are some extremely faint white lines.If it wasn't for the reflection, he wouldn't be able to see it.

"Have you noticed this clue?" Ahao pointed out the discovery to Ilya.

Yi Liya took it in surprise, and looked around: "It really is, it looks like a strange pattern? We didn't see it for a long time before, why did you see it all at once?"

"Where, where? I want to see it too!" Shirley jumped up and down, trying to see the Tarot cards through the gap between the two.

After Ilya handed her the Tarot card, she said with a bit of annoyance: "It's quite obvious from this point of view, why can't we see it? It must be too late yesterday and the lights are not bright enough."

"Don't worry about what happened yesterday." Illya took back the tarot cards, "The key question is, what kind of clue is this?"

"It's really too small, you need a magnifying glass to see it clearly." Ahao fumbled for the ring on his hand, trying to find some raw materials for making glass.

Unfortunately, he did not carry quartz sand with him.

Shirley immediately raised her hand: "I can make a magnifying glass!" She excitedly put her fingers together and made a virtual circle.

"Bao Yu White Crystal!"

A pure white seed crystal formed in her hands, and the crystal slowly grew into a flat spherical shape.Shirley rubbed her hands twice to control the direction of crystal growth.Soon, a smooth crystal plate with a thick middle and thin sides appeared in her palm.

Shirley held up the lens so that it could refract the light source above her head into colorful lights:
"Clang! Crystal magnifying glass!"

"It's amazing!" Illya praised sincerely, and patted Shirley on the head.After Shirley handed the magnifying glass to Ilya, she looked beside her happily.

Then Ilya handed the magnifying glass to Ahao: "Look at what that is."

Ah Hao pinched the corner of the magnifying glass, and explored the appropriate focusing distance for the Tarot cards.

The secret clues on the Tarot cards were finally clearly presented to everyone.

—it was a simple pattern of geometric figures and sleek lines.Next to the twisted triangle, there are three whip-like curved lines.Large and small dots are regularly dotted in the pattern.

Ahao shook his head: "I still don't understand what this is, I haven't seen anything like it."

Shirley and Ilya also studied it, and both said they had never seen such a pattern.

The three decided to follow the original plan and continue to look for another Prophecy-type Arcane Mage.In addition to predicting the whereabouts of Illya's father, I also hope that it can help solve this mysterious clue.

After a moment.

Shirley looked at Ilya: "Has he accepted the mission?"

Ilya pursed her lips: "The guide said [Huitian] Arcane Mage is currently in a requisition state and cannot accept ordinary tasks."

"Requisition? What does this mean?" Shirley was extremely confused. "I never heard that Arcane Masters would be requisitioned. Forget it, let's take a look at my mission announcement."

Shirley made a long list: "Maybe it's because of the relatively high reward points we offer. It's true that there are quite a few arcane mages of the divination department who have accepted the mission. But..."

She glanced at Ilya in embarrassment: "All of them are arcane mages of the first and second ranks, which are not very useful.

"[Peeping Life] is a Tier [-] Arcane Mage. If you want to decipher the clues left by his ability, you must at least have a Tier [-] or higher Arcane Mage."

"Yes." Illya replied dejectedly, "I can only hope that there will be a Tier [-] Prophecy Arcanist on Ahao's side to take over the task."

"Third-rank arcanist?"

At this moment, Ah Hao's beaming voice came from the front.

Ah Hao unfolded the list in his hand: "It's not just a third-tier arcane mage, I have a fourth-tier arcane mage here to accept the task! Although the news that he is a fourth-tier arcane mage still shocks me."

"Who is he? Do you know him?" The light in Ilya's eyes lit up again.

Ahao nodded: "Not only I know, but you actually know Ilya too. Do you remember the last time we went to the ancient city of Fez?"

"The owner of the Divination House in the Sand is the fourth-order prophecy arcanist—[Busha] Annand."
