Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 21 Ash Black

The addition of embers to Tarot will give Klein a sense of urgency.

On the one hand, he hoped to obtain useful information from Ember, and he did not regret this decision.

On the other hand, it is inconvenient for him to communicate too much with Ember.

After all, he is a 'fool' in the Tarot Society, and asking directly is too cheap.

For this reason, he tried to pinch a vest for himself, but ended in failure.

At the same time he heard the prayer of a crimson star.

Due to the language barrier, he gave up answering the other party's prayer——

And even if it's useless to respond, he's not really a god, and he can't solve the other party's problem at all.

After doing all this, Klein got into trouble again.

He now suspects that the 'girl' he met is probably the former 'instigator' Tris.

Because the appearance and temperament of the two parties gave him almost the same feeling——

The face is round, the eyes are narrow and long, and the temperament is gentle.

Almost identical except one is male and one is female.

But he has no evidence to confirm his 'guess', and it is difficult to explain the reason to the captain——

Could it be that he got the information from the Tarot Society?
After hesitating for a long time, Klein finally made a decision—

Just say it's your intuition.

Anyway, it is a guess, revealing it can also increase clues, and it is not easy to be doubted if it is intuition.

After all, it is the intuition of a fortuneteller.

Moreover, maybe you can use a fortune teller as a cover?

It is said that it is the result of their own divination.

"Well, just do it!"

Klein nodded solemnly, then took out the crystal pendant after hesitating for a moment, and said divination first.

……

So when he went to work the next day, Klein took the opportunity to reveal his guess about the identity of 'Tris'.

"You mean."

Dunn frowned slightly, "Tris probably managed to escape our pursuit because he turned into a woman? And I met you, but you didn't recognize him at the time?"

"Yes."

Klein nodded, put out the explanation he had already prepared, and explained, "Actually, when I met that 'girl' that day, my spirituality had reminded me, but at the time my mind was focused on arresting Triss, There is no connection between the two."

"But when I checked the information of the Witch Sect yesterday, I accidentally discovered that almost all of the Witch Sect are women."

"So I'm guessing, is it possible that the assassin path will become a female due to the influence of the potion at a certain stage, such as Sequence 7."

"Sequence 7?"

Dunn pondered for a moment.

According to their guess, Tris was indeed on the verge of promotion at that time.

Otherwise, his abnormal behavior cannot be explained.

That is to say, after the other party came to Tingen, he was indeed already working on advancing to Sequence Seven.

The only problem was that they couldn't grasp the name of the magic potion of the Assassin Pathway Sequence 7.

"It's really a direction of investigation."

Dunn thought for a moment, then slowly said, "The information you gave is very valuable, and I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Although this is only based on Klein's intuition.

But for Extraordinary people, the so-called intuition often comes from spiritual warnings.

And spiritual warnings are often more accurate than their own judgments.

So Dunn chose to accept the letter without hesitation, not to mention that they really have no other investigation ideas now.

And given that Klein's Extraordinary Path is a fortuneteller, his 'intuition' will also be more valuable than ordinary people.

After reporting the situation, Klein was finally satisfied.

In the evening, he participated in the welcome party held by the team for him.

Klein is very satisfied because his weekly salary has increased to 4.5 pounds.

Perhaps the only regret was that Old Neil was unable to attend his welcome party.

"Miss Justice's mind reader formula has been found, and it's time for me to find the clown's potion formula."

Klein sighed softly in his heart. If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will become the bottom of the Tarot Club.

The leader of the dignified mysterious organization is actually the bottom of the members, can you believe it?

At the same time, Backlund St. Samuel Church.

Embers also made 'negotiations' to Archbishop Anthony.

"If I want to buy potion formulas of other sequences, what price do I need to pay?"

"cost?"

Facing Ember's question, Anthony froze for a moment, and then quickly drew a crimson moon on his chest, "Then according to the market price, how about two hundred pounds for Sequence 9, four hundred pounds for Sequence 8, and eight hundred pounds for Sequence 7?" ?”

After a pause, Anthony continued, "Of course, I can only provide mid- and low-sequence potion formulas, and I can only ensure the integrity of low-sequence potion formulas."

If it is an ordinary Nighthawk.

They don't need to pay the price of gold pounds, they only need to make enough 'contributions' to the Church of Evernight.

When their contributions are sufficient and they meet the promotion conditions, the Church of Evernight will naturally provide them with formulas of the corresponding sequence.

But if Ember wanted it, and he was unwilling to spend time making a 'contribution'.

Considering his status as a dependent, he can also be given certain special treatment, and it is also possible to allow him to use gold pounds in exchange.

"enough."

Ember nodded lightly, all Miss Justice wanted was a Sequence 8 mind reader.

However, even Sequence 8 still needs 400 pounds——

This is not a small sum.

Even with his weekly salary of 100 pounds plus the 100 pounds given by Anthony, it will take at least three weeks to save enough.

However, maybe you can wait until the next time Tarot will ask Miss Justice to advance part of it.

After all, she doesn't seem to be short of money.

……

October 7, Wednesday.

Backlund, Crown Racecourse.

Ember stood in the VIP box, looking at the racing horses and riders sprinting below.

It has been two days since I participated in the Tarot Club.

These days, following Archbishop Anthony's suggestion, he frequently participated in gatherings among the upper-class nobles of Backlund.

But unfortunately.

The highest of these participants is only the viscount or even the heir.

And according to Ember's vision, the person who can know the 'Dark Emperor' should at least be an earl or above.

But after all, he has only just started to participate in gatherings among nobles, and he is not an overly distinguished person.

It is normal for him to have no contact with the upper echelons of this country.

But as long as there are more parties going, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Ember suddenly turned around and looked at the girl beside her.

The girl has dazzling soft blond hair. She wears a long white dress with leg of lamb sleeves, ruffles, and lace on the chest. She also wears a gauze hat inlaid with blue ribbons and silk flowers on her head. colored tulle gloves.

At this time, the other party was staring at Ember intently.

"Is there a problem?"

Ember asked politely.

For some reason, this girl has been staring at him since just now.

"No, nothing."

The girl was taken aback by Ember's cold gaze, she could no longer maintain her previous posture of staying out of the way as if she was a spectator, and instead lowered her head in a panic.

In the end, he felt that his appearance was a bit too suspicious, and he couldn't help but get red ears, and ran away as if fleeing.

"Ok?"

Ember showed doubts on her face, she only felt that the other party's actions were somewhat inexplicable.

But it didn't pay much attention.

Because although he can feel that the soul of the other party is stronger than ordinary people, it is also limited.

Not even qualified to be used as firewood.

No, let alone being used as firewood, the other party is not even qualified to be burned to ashes, and will only be burned into air.

"Audrey, what's wrong?"

Some thin young people noticed Audrey's sudden panic, and approached her and asked with concern.

"It's nothing."

Audrey had regained her composure at this time, she shook her head and asked, "Greyint, what's the matter with you?"

Glaint was her friend, and it was not clear whether to call him lucky or unlucky.

His father died young, but he also inherited the title early because of this.

And relying on the talent of the audience, Audrey can see that the other party must ask for something when they come to find her.

"Audrey."

Hearing Audrey's question, Viscount Greint lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I have met a real Extraordinary, one who does not belong to the royal family."

You say that every time.

"really?"

Audrey smiled gracefully and politely, but was actually not interested in what he said.

"I swear on my father's honor, this time it's absolutely true!"

Viscount Greint nodded solemnly, and said with a serious face.

"So."

Audrey wanted to make a surprised expression, but then she hesitated, pointing to the embers not far away, "Viscount Grelint, do you know him?"

"I've seen both sides."

Viscount Glaint glanced at him, nodded and said, "Ash Black, a fallen nobleman. I heard that he has only recently come to the capital, so he has been frequently attending gatherings among nobles in the capital these days. "

"He only attended my party two days ago, but you happened to be absent that day, so you haven't seen him."

After a pause, Greint added, "Tomorrow afternoon, there is a salon at my home. If I invite him, he should also come to attend. Of course, there is also the Extraordinary I mentioned."

"Ash Black?"

Audrey's jewel-like eyes burst into a gleam of brilliance.

From the first time she saw Ember, she felt that this gentleman looked very familiar——

It is very similar to Mr. 'Lover' she met at the Tarot Club the day before yesterday.

The reason why the two can be connected is that although there is also the talent of the audience to observe and compare the two sides' physique and temperament.

But it was mainly because the dazzling array of rings on the other's ten fingers was so impressive.

After all, even the nouveau riche in the royal capital rarely wear rings on their ten fingers.

So far, Audrey has only met two people who can do this kind of 'dress up'.

One is 'Lover' and the other is this Mr. Ash Black.

……

Tingen city.

In the morning, Klein went back to the university to visit Mr. Azik.

And in the afternoon, he divined that the clown potion formula was related to Sirius Apyris.

Feeling that fortune tellers are really weak in battle, Klein decided to buy some materials needed for ritual magic for himself, so as not to be unable to produce the materials when needed, and had to wait for death.

So, he then went to the underground trading market to make purchases.

As he was leaving, he saw a young lady in a light green light gown preparing to leave as well.

Klein felt that the lady's back was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After all, he had more important things to do, so he didn't care about this little thing, but hurried to the library.

His intuition told him that he should be able to obtain information about Sirius Apyris there.

This is reasonable.
