Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 77 Another Attempt

October 8, another Monday.

Klein, who crawled out of the grave, had just come to Backlund to rent a house, and finally settled down, and Monday ushered in.

He had to put aside the thoughts in his mind for a while, and went to the gray mist without stopping.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. Good afternoon, Mr. Lover. Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man. Good afternoon, Mr. Sun."

In the greeting of the girl's sweet voice, this time the Tarot will come as scheduled.

As always, Audrey and Alger successively provided The Fool with the Roselle diary he needed.

Afterwards, everyone quietly waited for Mister Fool to finish reading.

"You can communicate freely."

After a while, Klein let the diary disappear from his hands, and looked at the rest of humanity.

"Miss Justice."

'The Hanged Man' Argel was the first to speak, "I have already obtained the extraordinary material you want, but how should I give it to you?"

"The pituitary gland of the colorful lizard?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Audrey was overjoyed, but was soon poured cold water by the next sentence.

Yes.

How should he give himself?

And even if Alger gave it to herself, she still had to find a way to send a reward for him.

"Dong Dong~"

With a thought in his mind, Klein stretched out his fingers and tapped the edge of the long bronze table lightly, attracting the attention of others, and said with a smile, "Will you cooperate with me in making an attempt on this matter?"

"I'm happy to cooperate."

Audrey was a little excited, and nodded reservedly and gracefully.

The Hanged Man suddenly tensed up, hesitating and hesitant, but in the end he lowered his head respectfully.

"Your wishes are my wishes."

The corners of Klein's mouth rose slightly.

In fact, the 'try' he has to do is very simple, and it can be described in two words:
Sacrifice, bestow.

Both are inspired partly by reality, partly by embers and 'the sun'.

The city of silver, where the sun is located, will regularly hold sacrificial ceremonies to the 'all-knowing and omnipotent Lord' they believe in.

This is sacrifice.

And the 'items' of embers all have the ability to bind souls, which can be brought directly above the gray mist and handed over to others to bring them back to reality.

This is bestowed.

The combination of the two made Klein think of an attempt——

Could he do it by having one of the members of the Tarot Society sacrifice something to him, and then he would give the sacrificed item to the other members?

He actually had this idea a long time ago, but he never had a good chance to bring it up.

In addition, maybe Tingen's life is so comfortable that he almost forgets that he is in a world full of dangers, and if he is not careful, he will lose his life.

Coupled with the fact that he still owes Ember Yibi a huge debt, all this put him under enormous pressure.

And this also made Klein feel more and more pressed for time.

It also made him eager to turn those ideas in his mind into reality.

And the current deal between Miss 'Justice' and Mr. 'The Hanged Man' happened to give him such an opportunity.

After receiving voluntary replies from the two, Klein ordered some sacrifice rituals and prayers.

After all this is done, it will be the turn of other people's transactions.

"I have two questions."

Ember held up two fingers, and said slowly, "First, I hope to learn as much information as possible about the Aurora Society and the Dawn of Elements. Second, I want to know if you have any information related to the 'Painting World', no matter It doesn’t matter whether it’s accurate information or hearsay legends.”

After a pause, Ember explained, "You can regard the world of paintings as a strange and magical item. Its appearance is a painting, which may be of any type. It doesn't look much different from ordinary paintings on the surface, but In fact, there is a world inside."

"The contained world?"

Audrey's beautiful eyes glowed with curiosity, and Ember's description made her interested all of a sudden.

"Painting the world?"

Klein was startled.

Of course he knows the world of painting, but only in games.

Is there a painting world in this world?

Do not!
Since Ember proposed it on his own initiative, it proves that he must have confirmed the existence of the painting world before asking.

But Ember obviously only recently learned of the existence of the painting world, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly asked until now.

But who told him that?

Klein vaguely had an answer in his heart.

Ember just came to this world not long ago, and the channels to obtain information are extremely limited.

And who else could tell him such important and secret information, but the Church of Evernight?
But the question is, why does the Church of Evernight know so much information?
What kind of connection do they have with Ember?
and……

Klein suddenly felt a chill behind his back.

He and Ember are both traversers.

Embers are deeply bound to the Church of Evernight, what about themselves?

Is he also being secretly monitored by the Church of Evernight?

Inexplicably, Klein suddenly thought of what happened a few days after he first came to this world.

At that time, he found an animal trainer who pretended to be a fortune teller to do a fortune teller for him.

And the card that the opponent divination is the Fool!
Even pretending to be 'The Fool' himself might not have been affected by that card.

Could that 'beast trainer' also be a member of the Church of Evernight?
Klein suddenly felt a sense of dread.

"terribly sorry."

Alger didn't know what Mister Fool was thinking, and said slowly, "I don't know anything about the 'painting world' you mentioned, I've never even heard of it. As for the Aurora Society and the Dawn of Elements, I know Information is also limited."

After a pause, Alger saw that Ember didn't show any impatient expression, and then said, "I have already talked about some information about the Aurora Society in the previous Tarot Society, and I think you shouldn't want me to Repeat on the other side."

"However, I can add some information that I haven't mentioned, and you may be interested."

"Aurora will have five saints and 22 envoys. These envoys are code-named by letters. They call themselves Mr. A and Mr. X. They are at least Sequence 7 Extraordinary, and the strongest are Sequence 5. They are all quite good at concealing themselves."

"Moreover, the Aurora Society seems to have a large number of alternate divine envoys. Every time an envoy dies, a new envoy will be replaced."

"Mr. A?"

Audrey was suddenly a little suspicious, but the performance of the 'audience' made her restrain herself very well.

"As for Elemental Dawn."

Alger paused and continued to add, "This is a mysterious organization emerging from the Fifth Epoch. It has only been born for one or two hundred years, and it is considered quite young even among many secret organizations. But because of its youth, the information it spreads The information is also relatively minimal."

"I only know that this organization once seemed to have a certain relationship with the Moses Penance Society."

Alger stopped, noticed that Ember was still looking at him, and said a little helplessly, "I only know so much."

He thought he knew enough.

But he was completely unable to answer the questions that Ember threw out one after another.

For example, 'Painting World', he has never heard of such a thing.

and many more!

Alger's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly continued to speak, "Mr. Lover, I already have some clues about the maritime slave trade you asked me to investigate."

"I heard from information that the most active person in the sea and the slave trade recently is the crazy captain Connors Victor. It is rumored that he has contacts with many human traffickers and slave traders."

"However, according to various indications, he does not seem to have personally handled the slave trade."

"Why do you say that?"

Miss 'Justice' asked a little strangely.

Since it is confirmed that he is related to the 'slave trade', why is it said that he did not handle the slave trade?
Alger patiently explained, "If you want to operate the slave trade, you must have a huge fleet, but the crazy captain only has one ship. That is to say, if he only relies on this ship for the slave trade, he may lose money instead. .Because a ship can’t hold many slaves even if it’s fully loaded, and even if it’s all sold, it may not be able to earn back the cost.”

"but."

Alger paused for a moment, looked serious, and said solemnly, "There are also rumors that the reason why the crazy captain can unscrupulously traffic a large number of slaves at sea with only one ship is because he has a magic weapon that can accommodate a large number of people. Items. So he doesn’t need to maintain a huge fleet, as long as he has one ship is enough.”

"But because no one knows what this mystical item looks like or what it is called. So before this, most people only regarded it as a rumor with very low credibility."

After a pause, Alger continued, "But judging from the current situation, I feel that this magical item may be related to the painting world you mentioned."
