Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 513 Worry
Silent crimson rays of light lit up. Except for Derrick "The Sun" who came to the gray fog in advance, the other members of the Tarot Club appeared one by one and sat down in their own high-backed chairs.

At the end of the long table is the "world" controlled by Klein using the All-Black Eyes.

"Mr. Fool, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon~"

Miss Justice, with extraordinary perseverance, insisted on greeting all members every week. Influenced by her, even the newest member, Ms. "Hermit", nodded and smiled kindly in return.

Klein, who also responded to the greetings, first looked at the "Queen" Angel on the left. The two had not seen each other for a week, and the novelist he played was still blocked in his desire to publish his posthumous work and could not complete it as originally planned. It made him a little anxious.

"Hey, Angel's aura is a bit chaotic, and the inner astral body is dark and complicated, which represents melancholy and sadness..."

With the help of the "home field advantage" of the gray fog, Klein can clearly see the hidden astral body of the Extraordinary, thereby confirming the opponent's emotions. Usually, Angel is a mixture of blue and white, and occasionally has a yellow appearance, which means She is generally in a calm or happy state.

But now...

For no reason, Klein felt a trace of doubt and anxiety in his heart.

What happened to her this week?

After other people's audio and video was blocked, Angel continued to speak:
"Ms. Hermit, I have a commission, and I want to get your help." Her voice was a little low, but she did not show the negative emotions in her heart. "But first I want to confirm that you are the 'Star Admiral' Garter." Lia, right?"

He wanted to do a divination to see if it was Angel who came above the gray fog this week, or an outsider who used the ability of the faceless man to make up her appearance.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fool at the top of the long table had a lot of thoughts in his mind. "Justice" and "Moon" each showed a diary of Emperor Russell and handed it to the Fool. Recently at sea, she was unable to obtain a new diary, and the "hermit" also apologized, but she seemed to understand that finding the diary was not a mandatory "mission" and did not feel too anxious about it.

"Based on the attitude of a certain member of the Tarot Club towards you, as well as the information and material channels you have shown, your possible sequence height is located at sea rather than on the north and south continents... I infer that you are an extraordinary person with the same strength as the pirate general. , or even one of them," Angel said slowly, making Klein feel that she was summarizing as she spoke, "And I have seen all the women among the pirate generals, except the 'Star Admiral'."

"Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with Ms. 'Hermit' alone."

After admitting that she was the "Admiral of the Stars", Cattleya continued to ask:
"So, why did you confirm my identity? Is it the commission you mentioned?"

After a brief moment of astonishment, the "hermit" responded in a tone with no discernible emotion:
"How did you come to this conclusion?"

After absentmindedly reading the diary with some repetitive content, Klein announced the start of "free communication time."

After listening to Angel's request, Klein, who was playing the role of "The Fool" at the top of the long table, pursed his lips and felt a warmth in his heart.

"I know that there are mermaid settlements near the eastern channel of the Gargas Islands, but they belong to the Church of the Night, and what I need to find is the kind that live freely in the sea."

As soon as the free time came, Angel, who showed his inner anxiety and sadness on the surface of the astral body, made a request and looked at the hermit at the end of the "lady's side". The latter was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, you pay special attention to me. Is it because of my bounty, my fighting methods, or the battle with Tracy?"

"Yes, I don't mean any harm. We are all followers of Mr. Fool and members of the Tarot Society. It is not a bad thing to know each other." Angel replied, "I want to hire your ship to take a person to the east of the Suniya Sea. Facing the dangerous waters, looking for traces of wild mermaids.”

"I thought you were more, um, casual... I didn't expect that your special attention to you would actually make you discover my identity."

"wild?"

Unexpectedly, Angel could actually guess the other party's identity, which was a bit... Klein was half expecting, half worriedly waiting for Angel's answer.

Cattleya grasped the key point and asked rhetorically.

She didn't deny it.

Klein was a little stunned. He asked himself that if he were in Angel's position and knew this information, he would be able to guess 70% or 80% of it, but she was, but Angel...

Although "The World", as an ordinary Tarot Club member, also acted like he was blocked when communicating alone, Klein, as the "Fool", could sit in the best viewing seat and watch the two people communicate. In his sight, "Hermit" Cattleya's eyes were widened, and she was in an overly shocked state.

Also surprised was Cattleya the Hermit. She was silent for a moment and said:

He didn't expect that the purpose of Angel's request to communicate alone was to find the mermaid and prepare for his promotion.

"You should be aware of the dangers of that sea area," Cattleya did not immediately refuse or agree, but asked slowly, "Except for 'Hell Admiral' Ludwell, almost no ship would dare to enter there. "

"But your 'Future' is an exception." Angel was confident and seemed to have already conducted relevant investigations.

"Yes, so, how do you plan to hire me?"

With a chuckle, Cattleya leaned against the back of the seat and replied.

"2500 pounds, or you can use magical items to offset the price if you make up the difference."

"I want 3500 pounds, or a sequence 6 magical item. If you have something better, I can pay the difference."

After some bargaining, Angel hired Cattleya's "Future" for 3000 pounds to go to the dangerous area in the eastern part of the Sunia Sea to investigate the location of the mermaid.

She originally tried to use the "hypocritical" ring to trade in the price, but the price exceeded Cattleya's expectations, so the deal was not completed.

Moreover, the pirate general also requested that he would not have time to complete Angel's commission until April.

"The specific time and the location to get on the boat will be confirmed through the Tarot meeting. These will be designated by me, okay?"

"The Hermit" finally confirmed.

"Okay, but it won't be me who gets on the boat then," Angel nodded. "You can rest assured, he is also a follower of the Fool."

Klein, who was behind the gray mist, frowned upon hearing this, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with this "commission".

After the private exchange, Angel seemed no longer interested in other things and huddled back in the high-backed chair. Alger, the "Hanged Man" who had been waiting for a long time, glanced at the two ladies who had just communicated, and finally kept his gaze. On the "hermit", he said:

"Recently, news of the 'Ghost Empire' has been circulating in the Gargas Islands. Many sailors in Nas claimed to have seen a huge, phosphorescent, dark warship at night. Perhaps this ship was fully loaded with the Trunsoest Empire. The ghost ship of treasure has reappeared in the world.”

Everyone here, except "Sun", has more or less heard the rumors about this huge ship that is equivalent to a city, and the secret treasure of the last empire of the Fourth Age that it carries. They all sat upright with interest, but Cattleya, who was being stared at by Alger, had no other expression, which made the former a little disappointed.

Mr. Hanged Man seemed to be expecting an answer from the "Star Admiral". Did he leave Bayam for the Gargas Islands this time to search for the "Ghost Empire"? Is the Church of Storms also interested in such rumors?

Angel slowly looked at Alger across from him, his head working subconsciously, analyzing the information.

She originally planned to entrust the "Blue Avenger" to go to the east of the Sunia Sea, but the ghost ship hurriedly performed the mission, disrupting her plan, and the scheduled date was coming soon, so she could only ask for help if she didn't know the details. The "hermit" test, fortunately, the other party is indeed the "Star Admiral", and he accepted her commission...

After thinking about it, this rumor, which everyone was interested in but had no clue about, ended after sporadic discussions.

This was followed by the speech of "Justice" Audrey, who shared a "lucid dream" experience she had while on vacation in her hometown.

Under the guidance of a folk song, Zhengyi came to an area with the custom of worshiping dragons. After suggesting to himself "to stay awake in dreams", Zhengyi successfully entered the depths of his own consciousness and arrived at a "collective place". "subconscious" in the illusory ocean.

There, she saw a giant dragon with gray rock-like scales, and thought of the ancient legend of the dragon and the existence of the "Miracle City" Levished.

It was a floating city "imagined" by the "Dragon of Imagination" Angelweed. According to the legend spread in the Silver City where Mr. "Sun" lives, the objects imagined by the Dragon of Imagination will surely materialize. When it comes out, its imaginary country will inevitably appear in the world, and the predictions it makes will definitely become reality.

"If I continue to explore the 'collective subconscious', is it possible to find the 'City of Miracles' there?"

Finally, Audrey asked with hope.

"It's best not to do this," it was the taciturn hermit who answered her. "It's very dangerous. The so-called dragons are also flesh and blood creatures. Those who can swim in the collective subconscious may have reached the level of demigods. With your With its strength, even if you get close to it or see it, you may be harmed. Moreover, the 'collective subconscious' itself is also very dangerous. It is like a real sea. It will corrode and submerge you who fall into it, causing mental trauma, and even make you feel sad. You cannot wake up, or experience changes in memory or personality."

Audrey, who has a strong interest in the mysterious sea of ​​consciousness and various legends, sighed in disappointment, but she also knew that the hermit's suggestion was correct. She only had Sequence 7, and she was not able to face demigods and step into " The level of the "subconscious sea".

Fortunately, I have already purchased the main material for a "Hypnotist". As long as I continue to accumulate contributions and digest the "Psychologist" potion, I will be promoted to Sequence 6 before long!
She thought excitedly, and looked at the "Queen" who sold her the materials, only to find that the latter was leaning forward, lying on the long bronze table, with an expression of confusion and panic.

Is this still the strong and confident "Queen"?

Audrey had such questions in her heart.

Angel, who was being watched by her, had her mind filled with "fantasies", "subconsciousness", "memory and personality changes" and other content that everyone had just exchanged. Seeing that the surroundings fell into a brief silence, she suddenly asked:
"Everyone, have you ever heard of the name 'Adam'?"
