Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 195 Praise the Fool

"Binsey."

Amidst the whistle of the White Agate starting, the passenger ship slowly sailed away from Bancy Island, where it had been a nightmarish night yesterday.

Klein sat on the sofa chair by the window, staring at Bancy Island, which was getting smaller and smaller in his vision, and whispered to himself.

He had disclosed the relevant information to Ember last night, and believed that the other party should have explored the underground ruins.It's just that I didn't respond to the "prayer" I conveyed through Mr. Fool last night. I probably didn't want to trouble Mr. Fool too much, but waited until today's Tarot meeting to discuss it.

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, at least Klein thinks so.

It's just that there are embers to solve the matter of the underground ruins, but Bancy Island can't just ignore it——

Such a small island has gathered many elements such as the God of Skin Messenger, the God of Weather, the Rose of Redemption, and the King of Angels at the same time. , at least there is still a strange balance between the messenger of the godskin and the believers of the god of weather!
Did you say it was cleaned up hundreds of years ago?How come there is still danger?

Do all the people in the Church of the Storm eat dry food?
The punishers who came during the day were obviously not very 'professional', they didn't even ask about the whereabouts of the human skin robe worn by Bishop Miller, they just thought it had been destroyed in the battle.

It is obviously impossible to expect these substitutes to solve the crisis, and they may not know as much as Danis.

"Praise the goddess."

Audrey lay on the bed, closed his eyes and looked at Ember, he was already lying on the sofa, waiting for Mister Fool's 'call'.
-
Above the boundless gray fog, a magnificent palace stands quietly.

Annie froze for a moment, but quickly nodded slightly, and blinked at Audrey:

Even if Mr. Azik seals the wriggling hunger to a certain extent, it only needs to be fed with the soul and flesh of a living person within 24 hours after use—if it doesn’t work, Klein can also throw it into the gray mist On top of that, it can naturally appease its 'appetite'.

He wasn't stupid enough to tell Ellan directly or write an anonymous letter to the Church of Storms, which would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.The safest way is to let 'World' mention the anomaly in Bansy Harbor when the Tarot Society is held, and let 'The Fool' lightly lead out the Rose of Redemption and the King of Angels.

'Wriggling Hunger' is always trying to eat his master, but if it really covers the whole body, isn't this purely fulfilling it?
What is worth mentioning is that this ability to 'cover the whole body' is not one of the 'grazing'. None of the five souls 'grazed' by Creeping Hunger have been replaced. This ability seems to be this magical item an extension of itself...

If you don't report it, will you keep them for the New Year in 1351?
At sea, the Church of Evernight and Embers definitely couldn't count on it.

"The danger should be that it can eat me faster, right?"

After Audrey finished speaking, she suddenly felt guilty again, because she should not have said these words——

Of course, although the maid should not interfere with the master's affairs, some things should be controlled as much as possible.

"Praise the goddess."

And Earl Hall was no exception. Their original plan was to return to the fief of East Chester County.

Theoretically, as long as the 'squirming hunger''s thirst for soul and flesh is satisfied, it will not bite the user.But if it breaks through the seal set by Mr. Azik and becomes the state of needing to eat and be alone again, Klein will have to seal it above the gray fog and stop using it...
-
In the afternoon, in Ahowa County, a special train bound for the Republic of Intis was galloping on the track.

Annie also tapped her chest clockwise four times, and she is also a devout follower of the Church of Evernight.

Of course, it's not like he hasn't done divination above the gray mist.

But even so, 'Squirming Hunger''s hunger for flesh and soul is still there in the essence, and it tries to show it.

However, there is one small problem...

He could only write to Mr. Azik for help, trying to get part of the answer from Mr. Azik.

Creeping Hunger is originally a glove made of human skin, but it can change into different colors according to its ability when used.But no matter how it changes, it can only be the size of a glove after all, and can only cover one palm.But after devouring that piece of human skin, Klein could feel that it could 'extend' more parts, enough to cover the whole body!

One for Ember, one for Audrey, Annie, and Susie.

"Don't you return to East Chester County every year? How can it be called the first time?"

Secondly, the strength of the Church of Evernight on the sea is indeed not as strong as that of the Church of Storms, and the mainland is the focus of the Church of Evernight's mission.What's more, if you want to completely resolve the crisis on Bancy Island, at least an angel must come in person.

This is not only to enrich the members of the Tarot Society with some common sense, but also to secretly disclose information to the 'Hanged Man'——

Ember sat on the other side, heard this and asked with a smile:

But she did not leave, but squatted on the aisle, as if to guard the door for the two people in the house.

Just like last night, Klein was indeed planning to feed the flesh and blood of Bishop Miller to 'Squirming Hunger' as a 'reward' for using it.But the squirming hunger that should have been satisfied by eating a person did not fall into silence as he wished, but unexpectedly ate the human skin robe!
The speed was so fast that even Klein couldn't react. Even if Klein tried to stop it, he still couldn't interrupt the process, because the squirming hunger at that time even faintly showed signs of losing control, which made Klein dare not act rashly.It wasn't until the other party ate the human skin robe that they returned to silence.

"Justice" Audrey greeted each other in turn, starting from 'The Fool' and 'Lover' to the end of 'World'.

In fact, the Church of Steam arranged two rooms for Embers.

"pretty good idea."

So, she just needs to rest for an hour.

"Yes, miss, I'm very tired now and I need to go back and have a rest. Well, it won't be too long, just an hour."

This also caused Klein to change his rhetoric, declaring to Ireland and Danitz that Bishop Miller had been wiped out under the holy light.But fortunately, no one else doubted it, even the punisher who came to investigate did not ask for the details of the human skin robe.

"Annie."

She looked at the figure in the thick fog, and said with a rising voice:
"Dear Mister Fool, I got another three pages of Roselle's diary~"

Therefore, she could only stay in Ember's private room.

This is a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder of Ms. Audrey, a occultist lover. It appeared after the number of members of the Tarot Club became more and more tidy.

According to the customs of the Loen Kingdom, nobles with fiefdoms will leave Backlund one week after the New Year's Ball, return to their own territories, and enjoy a happy life in the countryside or castles. social.

Audrey looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and said softly, "This is the first time I have such an experience. In fact, I have always longed for a similar experience since I was a child, and even fantasized about traveling the world..."

But the overseas islands can be said to be the headquarters of the Church of Storms. An angel from the Church of Evernight has descended. What will the Church of Storms think?Do you feel that the Church of Storms is incapable of solving the trouble, or are you ignoring that this is the territory of the Church of Storms, trying to intervene forcibly?
So in the final analysis, the only one who can really deal with this matter is the Church of Storms.

In the same way, Alfred possesses the status of a demigod, so of course he cannot leave Backlund.And Hibbert is also in a critical period of ascension. He must take advantage of the opportunity that Earl Hall is deeply trusted by King George IV to do his best to express himself and make a career.

The reason why Anne and Susie are being sent away now is because today is Monday.

As for Audrey, she also needs to act as an intermediary, purchasing a large number of potion formulas, Extraordinary properties, and Extraordinary materials for the Hall family.

Therefore, this year's Hall family has no plans to leave Backlund.Although this made them quite busy, it also meant that the Hall family's status would take a huge leap forward!
And in this case, Audrey is the only one who can enjoy 'vacation' and 'tourism'.

"If you really want to do charitable work, I suggest starting with the church's charitable organizations. Most of the other charitable organizations have tax avoidance purposes and don't really put money into charity. I don't think you will like it. Only those charitable organizations with the background of the Evernight Church will truly practice charity, which is just right for you."

Klein rubbed his temples, it was inevitable that he would feel a little headache.

Audrey's mood became more and more cheerful, and there were smiles on the corners of her brows and eyes.

"so good."

"Different."

Audrey blinked and asked curiously:

And Ember, who was favored by the goddess, was still sitting on the sofa eating snacks, motionless, obviously not intending to salute.

Annie exited the room, Susie also left the room sensiblely, and closed the door with her back.

Based on this, there is only one idea left in Klein's mind:
Report now!

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool!"

But correspondingly, Audrey couldn't fill the patent with servants of the Hall family like she did when she returned to the East Chester County fief in previous years.On this trip, she only brought her personal maid Anne... Well, Susie.

Audrey shook her head slightly, and said seriously, "Although I return to East Chester County every year, even if I return to East Chester County, it is only in the family territory. The two are completely different experiences. .”

Although she wasn't tired, she didn't need to rest.

However, due to the king's death and Alfred's 'semi-god' status, Earl Hall had to stay in Backlund, worrying about state affairs.While Earl Hall is concerned about state affairs, the Countess also needs to be responsible for the normal operation of family affairs.

"Well, how about charity?"

The 'Moon' Emlyn White, who came here again, had just recovered his sight when he saw Miss Justice on the opposite side looking at the top of the mottled long table, and said hello in a brisk tone:

This order is not based on the seat arrangement, nor is it based on the order of joining the Tarot Society, but follows the rules of the Tarot cards. 'The Fool' is the beginning of all possibilities, and 'The World' is the end of perfect sublimation.

And the results showed that there was a risk, but not much.

After squirming hunger ate the human skin robe, it also showed some 'abnormalities', it seems to be undergoing some changes...

Regarding Audrey's casual suggestion, Annie thought about it seriously, nodded in agreement and gave a suggestion:

It was not out of her own will, but it was a symbol of a nobleman's decency, and she could not go against it.

Anne, the personal maid, seriously urged:
"Miss, this is not just a trip. The countess hopes that you can learn more from this trip, and you need to give a complete plan during this time. And when you return to Backlund, you Just get to work on your plan."

There is no doubt that his faith in the goddess was neither strong nor devout.

However, Audrey wasn't dissatisfied with the fact that she couldn't bring too many servants, but rather relaxed.You must know that usually she needs five or six maid services even to change clothes. Audrey actually doesn't like this kind of life.

Audrey tapped clockwise four times on her chest, and said softly:

This special train was kindly sponsored by Backlund's Church of Steam, and Ember and Audrey didn't spend any money.

Firstly, the distance is too far, Ember may not be willing to make this trip.

There is no doubt that the 'Hanged Man' who is a member of the Church of the Storm is ambitious, and he will not give up this opportunity to make meritorious deeds!
Well, perfect.

And now, it is already 55:[-] in the afternoon.

Audrey said suddenly, "I think you must be very tired too? Do you want to go back and have a rest?"

Audrey couldn't go back to her room to go above the gray mist, because then Annie would be in the room too, unless she drove Annie out.

But Klein didn't act rashly, nor tried to 'experiment' this ability——

But she would not refuse Audrey's orders.

Whether this change is good or bad, Klein cannot predict at all.

Klein looked down at the black glove on his left palm. It was a wriggling hunger.

There is no doubt that the ability of this magical item is very easy to use, even better than the 'half-god' level magical item that Ember gave him.But the only problem is that a side effect of the squirming hunger is its hunger for flesh and soul!
The creeping hunger must be satisfied every day with the soul and flesh of a living person, or it will take its master instead!

As for how to report it, Klein also has a good idea.

The special train has left the range of Backlund and entered the adjacent Ahowa County.But even the countryside of Ahowa County, which is close at hand, is so novel to Audrey.

With Miss 'Justice' as a demonstration, 'Magician' Ersi also said:

"Mr. Fool, I also have three new pages of Roselle's diary here."

Mister Fool nodded slightly to express his approval, but at the same time he was a little helpless.

Miss 'Justice' and Miss 'Magician' have become his most reliable sources of diaries, which must be included in every Tarot meeting.But this also caused the enthusiasm of other members to become not very high, which is still a good thing in general.
