Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 33 Klein, I can tell it's you at a glance!

"A price?"

Ember pondered for a moment.

He knew that the 'price' mentioned by the Hanged Man was not the price of exchange for this ring, but the price of using it.

There are sealed items in this world, but these sealed items have strong side effects without exception.

For example, Ember has seen '2-049'.

The reason why The Hanged Man asked such a question probably thought that the same is true for the 'Ring of Sacrifice'.

however……

"There is no price."

Ember said frankly, "If you insist on the price, you must wear this ring all the time, because it can only take effect when you are wearing it."

"It's not a price at all, is it?"

The corners of the Hanged Man's eyes twitched slightly.

He has never heard of a priceless sealed item!
but.

If the ring was really made by the Goddess of Sin, it might not be surprising that there was no price.

After all, even if the sinful goddess has long since fallen, she is a former god after all.

This kind of magical item that can save death, once spread, is enough to make most people flock to it.

The same goes for The Hanged Man.

After all, who could resist the temptation to be immune to death?

The only problem, though, is that the Hanged Man knows he can't pay enough for the ring.

Thinking of this, the Hanged Man's expression became extremely bitter.

He is neither a lofty god like Mr. Fool, nor a rich woman like Miss Justice who spends money like water.

Even if he is lucky enough to know the existence of the 'Sacrifice Ring' now, it is almost impossible for him to get this ring in his whole life.

unless……

"Dark Emperor!"

The Hanged Man took a deep breath.

Judging from Ember's attitude just now, he is very interested in the information of the Black Emperor.

If he could obtain enough information about the Black Emperor, he might be able to exchange this ring from the other party.

There's little hope, but it's better than no hope at all.

"Hmm~"

Audrey played with the ring on her hand, her eyes were extremely hesitant and entangled, as if she wanted to completely engrave the appearance of this ring in her mind.

Obviously, I have personally touched this kind of magical ring——

Although it is only a fake that can only be realized with the help of Mister Fool.

But Mr. Ember must have a real sacrificial ring on his hand, but it's a pity that she couldn't pay enough for it.

Although several people have different ideas.

But the appearance of the sacrificial ring undoubtedly fully mobilized everyone's emotions, and finally made everyone fall into loss and entanglement.

In this atmosphere, the party gradually came to an end.

"Mr. Fool."

Ember suddenly turned his gaze to the Fool, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I have something I would like to communicate with you alone."

'The Fool' Klein was slightly surprised.

But his face remained calm, just nodding his head slightly.

He leaned back slightly, cut off the letters with Justice and The Hanged Man, and sent the two of them out of the gray mist first.

Then, Klein turned his gaze to Ember, as if asking him what's the matter?

"Klein."

As soon as Ember opened her mouth, she frightened The Fool half to death, and her pupils constricted sharply.

How did he know?
How did he guess my identity?
Have I exposed something?
The body of 'The Fool' stiffened instantly, and the exposure of his identity made him feel an extremely urgent sense of crisis.

"Is he your favored one?"

Ember then slowly asked again.

"..."

'The Fool' was still stiff, but his expression twitched slightly.

Can you speak without panting?
Scary people will scare people to death!
"Why do you ask?"

'The Fool' sorted out his emotions, and asked a rather mysterious question with a smile on his face.

"I smell the same breath as you on him."

Ember calmly explained, then added after a pause, "To be precise, it should be the breath of this space."

With that said, Ember looked at the top of the 'The Fool'.

【The Fool】Zhou Mingrui
"Are you a dog?!"

'The Fool' complained wildly in his heart.

Although he knew that Ember's 'sniff' was just a metaphor, just like he 'smelled' Old Neil's 'human pus' breath.

However, is your 'sense of smell' a little too sensitive? !

You and 'Klein' only met once in total, and it lasted less than an hour. As a result, do you even firmly remember what he smells like?

"Yes."

Mr. Fool felt quite helpless, knowing that he could not deny it in front of Ember, so he could only find a way to make up for it.

So he nodded slowly and actively affirmed Ember's guess.

"Really?"

Ember nodded knowingly.

The reason why there is such a question is that the 'fool' has a 'breath' similar to Klein's.

On the other hand, it was because his remaining memory was reminding him.

'The Fool' and Klein alone will not attract any of his attention.

But when the two appeared in his memory at the same time, it made him associate the two together——

Unreasonable, arbitrary, one-sided groundless associations.

But Ember has always trusted her association.

And the affirmation of the Fool now also proves his association.

The only problem is that.

Klein, who is a member of the 'Fool', why isn't his title [Family of the Fool]?
"It's actually not bad."

Klein comforted himself, "At least this way, he won't think that 'Klein' is 'The Fool'."

Moreover, it might not be a bad thing to expose the identity of the 'Family One'.

Because this means that he may be able to exchange some things from Embers with the help of his status as a 'Blessed One'.

The identity of the 'fool' is not suitable for taking the initiative to trade with embers, but the favored ones can!

And when the identity is exposed, there is no need to cover up when communicating, but it will be more convenient.

The only problem is that.

Klein the Blessed in Tingen, how should he get in touch with the embers in Backlund.

"But it's not a big problem."

Klein thought silently, "The distance between Backlund and Tingen is not too far, it's only a four-hour drive."

Thinking about it this way, maybe Klein the Blessed One can find a way to get a sacrificial ring from Embers.

Ok.

The premise is that he has to pay enough.

I just don't know if I can get it on credit.

Klein's thoughts began to diverge again, but fortunately, he quickly came back to his senses and asked, "Any questions?"

"Not yet."

Ember shook her head, got up and saluted her chest, "See you next week, Mister Fool."

"See you next week."

'The Fool' nodded with a smile, cut off the connection with Ember and sent him out.

at the same time.

Backlund, in a luxurious villa in Queens.

Audrey Hall raised her head on the soft velvet pillow and sighed with emotion in a low voice.

"Sacrificing the ring, I don't know if it would be enough to borrow some money from my father..."

"Well?"

Audrey's words came to an abrupt end, because she felt that something was sticking out of her palm.

She subconsciously looked down at her palm, and there was a simple ring inlaid with dull and cracked emeralds lying quietly in her palm.

　PS:

　　Let me explain a little bit.

　　The protagonist can see through real names and titles.

　　For example, Audrey's title is [Justice].

　　So above her head is [Justice] Audrey Hall.

　　But if a person has multiple titles, only the most prominent one will be shown.

　　Klein and The Fool, on the other hand, displayed different titles.
