Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

The time after lunch was very dull, and the three of them played "fighting evil" poker for a while.At about [-]:[-], Esther said that she would go back to her room and take a nap.

After the game was over, Danitz didn't really want to be alone with Gehrman, so he immediately pointed to the servant's room where he lived: "Then I... Shall I go to sleep too?"

"Ah."

Klein stood up, walked straight back to his room, and closed the door with a "bang".

With Gehrman's boring personality, how did that liar-like Hamel become "familiar" with him?unimaginable.Danitz scratched his head, simply gave up thinking about it, and went back to his room.

Esther took a nap suddenly, but because today is Monday, it is a weekly Tarot meeting.

At exactly three o'clock, the light surrounded her eyes and soon sent her to the gray mist palace.

Miss Justice's brisk and sweet greeting sounded as usual:
"Good afternoon, Mister Fool~"

Then, she asked the number of everyone present in the order of the Tarot cards, until the last one was "World".

With a smile on her face, Esther happily responded to "Justice"'s greeting.

The leisurely tone in her tone was easily caught by "Justice", who immediately guessed that "Lover" had basically gotten rid of the predicament last time, away from the threat that annoyed her.

After "Justice" finished greeting, "Moon" couldn't wait to knock on the table, wanting to make some deal, but was stopped by "Justice".

After all, what follows is the usual reading time for The Fool.

After "Justice" and "Magician" each presented three pages of Roselle's diary, "Sun" also transcribed some legends of the ancient gods, and told "The Hanged Man" that he had compiled a list of monsters around the City of Silver.

Esther recited the place name silently, but didn't have much impression. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the place where the "sun" is located is closed to the North and South Continents.

While "The Fool" was concentrating on checking the diary and documents, Esther subconsciously glanced at the top of her head, and saw that the ball of light, which had recovered its appearance, was hanging quietly above the long bronze table without any movement.

I always feel that the light is dimmer than before... Is it an illusion?
A few minutes later, the paper in The Fool's hand dissipated, and he leaned back on the high-backed chair with a leisurely posture:
"You can start now."

After "Moon" joined, the channels of the Tarot Club were broadened again, and "Justice" purchased the fruit of the tree of elders and the blood of the mirror dragon at a price of 750 pounds.

Afterwards, the miraculous item transaction between "Justice", "The World" and "The Hanged Man" was also successfully concluded. From it, he got three hundred gold pounds that belonged to him, so he also delivered the potion formula needed by "The Sun", and listed several additional rewards on the material list of the City of Silver.

"The Hanged Man" also purchased the eyeballs of the longan sea eagle from the "Magician", making further preparations for promotion. The "World" once again sought to buy the remaining spirituality of the ancient wraith and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle.

After him, Esther raised her hand: "I still want to acquire some news, if there is no news about the extraordinary characteristics of 'Parasite', or organizations related to 'Stealer' are also fine."

To Esther's surprise, "The Hanged Man" responded to her:

"I did hear a little rumor."

Esther immediately sat up straight: "What do I need to pay you?"

"The Hanged Man" shook his head, and replied with a smile: "No need, because this is a rumor with no evidence at all, and no one knows the situation. I can't even guarantee the authenticity of this information."

After Esther nodded to express her understanding, "The Hanged Man" continued:
"The behavior style of this group of people is very low-key, and they hide themselves very well. The assembly method and selection of members are also mysteries. The part I can confirm is that there is such a corresponding inheritance, because there used to be people with the extraordinary ability to steal Items flowed from this organization."

"The ability of the item I've seen should indeed be a derivative of the path of 'Stealer'. As for the corresponding sequence, I don't know."

"Because I don't have more detailed information, I have no reason to charge you."

Esther nodded, not too disappointed. This proves that there are indeed other "thieves" active in the Extraordinary World, and she still has a chance to find them:
"I see, thank you for the news, Mister 'The Hanged Man'. I don't mind giving you a little information, the Sequence Six of the 'Thief' has the extraordinary ability to steal others for a short time, allowing people to Use the abilities of others."

"You're welcome." "The Hanged Man" admired "Lover" for being so witty.

Then "World" suddenly turned to "Justice" and "Magician", asking them if they could buy a wireless telegraph for themselves, and "Magician" immediately agreed.

Seeing that no one spoke anymore, "The Fool" looked around: "Let's communicate freely."

After the "magician" mentioned Backlund's high-pressure state, Esther immediately connected with the changes in the previous great smog. The movement was so loud at that time, it was normal for the authorities to step up their investigation of wild Beyonders.

The "Hanged Man" reminded "Sun" of the timing of the sacrificial ceremony, so that "Sun" could avoid the chief executive of the City of Silver.

Afterwards, "The Hanged Man" said: "Recently, the sea has been relatively calm."

Esther blinked: "Something happened on Bancy Island. The bishop of the Church of Storms defected there, and he seems to believe in some evil spirit. I don't know exactly how many victims there are, but it's best to stay away from there in the near future."

"The World" glanced at her: "The legacy of history, cannibalism and living sacrifices."

Esther's expression froze, is there such a thing behind it! ?She has no idea!
With the reminder from "The World", "The Hanged Man" immediately recalled: "Bansy Island does have a tradition of living sacrifices, and the target is an evil spirit of a 'weather god'. The behavior of the spirit is not uncommon, even if it is purged by the major orthodox churches on the surface, there are still some believers who are secretly active."

"If you have related travel plans, you'd better be careful and don't be careless."

As soon as the words of "The Hanged Man" fell, Mister Fool tapped on the table twice, attracting everyone's attention.

"Bincy is home to a descendant of the 'King of Angels' bloodline."

Esther leaned back on the high-backed chair subconsciously, and raised her hand uneasily: "'Red Angel' Medici? That member of the 'Rose Redemption' organization?"

"The Fool" smiled slightly, acquiescing to Esther's words.

"Justice" was a little dazed: "Bincy?"

"That's the ancient name of Banshee." "The Hanged Man" turned his gaze to "Lover", trying to digest the name she just mentioned.

If this matter has something to do with the real Creator, then it is necessary to report the doubts about Bancy Island to the Church of Storms.

Mr. "Fool" specifically pointed out Bincy's abnormality, and revealed it to us through the news of "lover", hoping to let the Church of the Storm find out the details?That's right, Mr. "Fool" seems to be a deadly enemy with the "Fallen Creator", and his favored ones also took action to deliberately destroy the plan of the Aurora Society, but now there are too many aspects involved in Bancy Island, and it is inconvenient for "Fool" to let the favored ones come forward , but chose to end up with the Church of Storms stationed there...

"The Hanged Man"'s thoughts changed sharply, and his expression became more serious as he looked at the end of the table.

No wonder "Lover" never deliberately concealed her way, maybe she was originally the eyeliner that "The Fool" wanted to send to the "Stealer" organization.Now that "Lover" got away from the mission that injured her, the goal became to find that organization?
Esther looked back at "The Hanged Man" strangely, not knowing why he kept looking at this side, which made "The Hanged Man" quickly look away.

"Justice" brought up the matter she was curious about after thinking for a moment: "Dear Mister Fool, what is the path of this 'Red Angel'?"

"The Fool" changed to a similarly relaxed sitting posture, and replied leisurely: "The red priest."

Esther suddenly had the urge to leave the gray fog as soon as possible, and grabbed Danis by the collar to force him to ask him what the path was called.

This must be the name at the top of Danitz's path!She had an inexplicable premonition last night!

After that, "Moon" seeks some significance of "The Hanged Man"'s social experience, and "Moon" also agrees to provide him with the anesthetic gas that the "Hanged Man" needs to put a boatload of people to sleep.

At this point, no one has anything extra to share.

"The Fool" tapped the surface of the long table again, and looked at everyone with a smile:

"I have foreseen that next week's people will have a new look. This party is here."

Still under the leadership of "Justice", everyone bid farewell to "The Fool".

After sending everyone into the gray mist, Klein waved at the pile of debris behind him covered by the thick gray mist, and a badge the size of an eyeball flew out of it and fell into his palm.

The front of the badge was engraved with the mystical symbols corresponding to "fate" and "concealment". Klein turned it over and stared at the ancient Hermes inscription: "If you hold this item, you can join."

Klein remembered that Leonard went to participate in the organization's party on the banks of the Tussock River, and he also remembered that it happened to be a "parasite" hiding in Leonard's body!
As for the source of this badge, "Fraudster" Lanerus is also a member of the "Stealer" pathway, and there is a high probability that he is a member of this special organization.

Klein hung down the citrine pendulum, and silently recited seven times "This badge originated from the organization of the Thieves group."

He opened his eyes, and the pendulum rotated steadily clockwise, giving the answer of "sure".

Do you want to give this badge to Esther?

Klein was in a bit of trouble.

If Esther goes, she will definitely wear a corresponding disguise, so as not to be recognized by Leonard, who should have forgotten her.

But Klein was not sure about the safety of this party.

Undecided and full of doubts?
Klein decided to write to the long-lived Mr. Ards, asking if he knew about this organization that might be hiding many "thieves".
