Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 584 Expensive Transaction

It was still the exchange of greetings hosted by Miss Justice, and then it was time to submit Emperor Russell's diary.

During Angel's short trip to Ma Xi, she bought two pages of Russell's diary from a local occult enthusiast store. These Chinese diaries had obviously been copied many times, so that the characters were a bit confusing, so she couldn't tell whether they were Chinese or not. It was the same as before, so I had to pretend to be stupid and submit it.

Apart from her, only Cattleya the Hermit presented a page of her diary. Angel noticed that Mr. Fool took significantly longer to read that page of diary, while he scanned his two pages, obviously having already read them. content above.

He wouldn't think that I was just perfunctory... Thinking of the "hermit's" screams and the horrible abnormalities all over her body when she was punished, Angel felt a little palpitated. She carefully moved her eyes away and looked at the table in front of Mr. Fool. The three cards of blasphemy were played, and the mood calmed down a little.

For the sake of the "Witch" and "Red Priest" cards, everything should be fine...

At the same time, Cattleya, who wore thick glasses with Mr. Fool's permission so that she would not be punished for "looking directly at the gods", was also secretly looking at the person at the top of the long table and noticed what the Fool said to her. The different attitudes of the diaries submitted by the two people.

"He took significantly longer to read the diary I submitted, not only because the diary she kept was the original and more dense, but also because He had already seen the other two pages...Others seemed less surprised by this kind of thing It’s not the first time it happened, so Mr. Fool won’t punish him? Also, if similar accidents lead to punishment, everyone’s enthusiasm for collecting diaries will inevitably decrease..."

While guessing, she lowered her gaze and also noticed the three playing cards covering the bronze table.

There was only one card before, but suddenly there were three. What are these cards that are worthy of a god to keep by his side... Her thoughts were running rapidly, and she inadvertently focused her eyes on Mr. Fool again. She quickly lowered her head, but If I dare to look again, my body feels like phantom pain, remembering the last unbearable experience.

Except for the diary apparently contributed by Bernadette's "hermit", the other two pages are lackluster and filled with daily experiences of Emperor Russell in his early years, including the experience of hunting for women before becoming the father of the "Mysterious Queen", and the reason for hearing the news. After hearing various rumors, I felt longing for what it's like to be a witch.

When Angel said the last word, he immediately thought of the high housing prices in the West End and Queens, and a heartbroken expression inevitably appeared on his face.

Obviously, Ms. "Hermit" knew, or at least knew the general content of this diary page, that she would ask this question.

Do I still know that witches taste good... Well, that's so rude to Angel... Klein straightened his expression and asked "The Hermit" and "Queen" what kind of reward they needed for their contribution to the diary.

It’s very tiring to do the whole show, but luckily I’m already a “Secret Puppet Master”, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to switch between the two identities so smoothly, and it would be easy for the “World” to raise his hand and knock on the table, and the “Fool” to ask for a private communication. That would be the most embarrassing scene since I traveled through time... He cursed and said with the body of "The World":

Seeing that she stopped asking questions, Klein smiled with satisfaction and whispered:

Then, he rushed in front of the eager "Justice", switched to the perspective of "The World", looked at Angel, and said:
"I request to communicate with Miss Queen alone."

"Have you arrived at Backlund?"

"I haven't had time to ask Mr. Azik to clean up the contamination of that Holy Emblem of Dark Night. If I let him enter Backlund rashly, I'm afraid it might be easily attacked by other forces. I temporarily handed it back to Mr. Fool and will use it when the time is right. ”

Feeling that different eyes briefly stayed on him and then quickly moved away, finally focusing on the "blasphemous card" in front of him, Klein chuckled secretly and put down the diary in his hand.

Then he tapped the table with the body of "The Fool", indicating that he had blocked other people's senses.

Klein also recalled the rental information he learned from Walter when he hired the new housekeeper in the morning. He nodded with emotion and continued:
"This is necessary to maintain the 'glossy'...sacrifice. I am going to live in the North District and prepare to explore the inside of St. Samuel's Church. Whether I finally obtain the notes through trading or stealing, I must learn more in advance. information.

The Fool's answer was also very concise: Mr. "Gate".

According to the agreement between the two, if Angel has not returned to Backlund before this Tarot meeting, they must use a messenger to notify the other party to avoid accidents.

This riddle-like question and answer confused everyone, even Cattleya herself, but she was only asking questions for the "Queen of Mysteries" who provided the diary. She didn't have too many doubts, so she expressed her gratitude and ended the conversation.

Since Mr. Fool had helped him and Klein a lot recently, Angel just asked to keep his contribution, but Cattleya the Hermit purposefully asked to know who else was the protagonist in that page of the diary besides the Emperor. This caused a lot of confusion. got everyone's attention.

"You can start communicating now."

"Yes, I just arrived in the morning. I met some old friends and learned about the situation in recent months and... prices."

I was only thinking about my own convenience, but I forgot that Mr. Azik was being tracked by the Orthodox Church, especially the Goddess Church, and almost let him enter the crisis-ridden Backlund... Angel thought with some shame.

Fortunately, the two of them have not yet settled in Backlund. There are still too many things to be busy with, and they will not be in contact with the church in a short time, so they put this matter behind their minds for the time being and mentioned another item. belonging.

"About the silver-white scales that bring you luck, I used the paper crane to ask Will Asceptin. The other person was a little nervous and said that it undoubtedly belonged to another 'Snake of Mercury' Ourolyus. It is handmade, and it is not a scale in the form of a mythical creature, because its body surface is scaleless... This is a direct incarnation of his power, a power that can bring luck or misfortune to a specific target, even much stronger than what Anderson suffered. ." A hint of smile appeared on Klein's face as he relayed the words of the "Snake of Destiny" who was still in his mother's belly due to the activation of reincarnation.

"Will was once forced to end his life many times and enter a 'restart' because of Ourolius' pursuit, so he was very afraid of this 'Angel of Destiny'. He suggested that we either throw away the scales or seal them away. In order to prevent the fate from being affected, the good luck obtained in the short term must be returned with other things, maybe bad luck, maybe something else...

"He commented that Ourolius intervened in advance when you were bound to kill the 'Rose School' demigod. It was... well, he said some bad things about the other party."

Hearing this, Angel also had an embarrassed smile on his face.

Being sandwiched between two Sequence 1s who are hostile to each other, there will always be some discomfort.

Fortunately, the scales have been sacrificed to Mr. Fool, but I did receive "lucky" help in the battle for promotion. This may become the reason for the other party to seek rewards... She sighed secretly, and after Mr. Fool's prompts The individual communication ended.

Although she noticed that Miss Queen's mood was a little low, "Justice" Audrey still took advantage of the moment when her senses were restored to speak with some excitement and expectation:

"Mr. Fool, may I ask, what are the two new cards in front of you?"

She already guessed the answer, but still wanted final confirmation.

"There are two new 'Cards of Blasphemy'. The price to view them is the same as before, three pages of diary, or equivalent historical knowledge."

The last half of the sentence was obviously directed at Derrick the Sun, who was unable to collect diaries.

It is indeed the "blasphemous card"!
Audrey's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to open the diary and directly look at the name of "Sequence 0" recorded on the two cards, but she restrained this impulse as she was no longer a newbie entering the mysterious world.

Fortunately, when I completed the commission for the "Psychological Alchemy Society" before, I established a cultural relics protection foundation. I can use this as an excuse to publicly collect the emperor's diary. Maybe in another month, no, two to three weeks, I will Being able to know their secrets... She planned excitedly, looking at the other Tarot Club members.

"Well, Mr. Hanged Man was equally surprised, but he is not an impulsive person and may have similar ideas to me; Mr. Sun is not very interested. All his efforts seem to be to improve his strength in order to help 'Silver City' get rid of the current situation. Everything else can come second, he is such a kind person...'Moon' was a little confused about this. When we collectively watched the 'Black Emperor' card, he was not one of us; Miss 'Queen' was not one of us. She was surprised, and did not request to watch the new 'Card of Blasphemy' based on the credit she had just dedicated to the diary. Instead, she was still immersed in a depressed mood... She already knew that this was the 'Card of Blasphemy', or...she was The person who handles Mr. Fool’s collection of cards?”

Through the "psychiatrist" ability that had completed acting and digesting, Audrey analyzed the reactions of other members and came up with possibilities that surprised her.

At the same time, Cattleya, the "Hermit" sitting at the end of the female side, also fell into long thought because of the Fool's short answer.

A Sequence 5 "Astrologer" who had followed "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette for a long time, and was a member of the Secret Seeing Path, as well as a member of the "Moss Ascetic Order", Cattleya had no idea about the "Mystery Queen" created by Emperor Russell. He has a certain understanding of "blasphemous cards" and knows that they record the knowledge of potions in corresponding ways.

But she was curious about the reactions of other Tarot Society members.

Most of them didn't seem to be much surprised by the "blasphemous card" itself, but were just curious about the contents of the two new cards... Before this, they had already seen at least one "blasphemous card" and understood these Roses. What does the legacy of the Great Emperor represent?
First, they discussed the identities of middle and low-sequences, the emerging forces of various organizations, and then discussed information such as the "King of Angels". Finally, it was the turn of knowledge lost in the long river of history... She was surprised to find that she had no idea about the Tarot Society. The "person" is no longer so surprising.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one was willing to pay 6 pages of the diary to read the secrets of the Blasphemous Card in advance, the "trading time" of the Tarot Club officially began.

"Everyone, I have obtained a Sequence 4 extraordinary characteristic. Is anyone interested in this?"

Angel, who had just seen the power of money from Laura, couldn't wait to speak.

She was prepared to ask for 3 pounds, and was mentally prepared to be negotiated to 25000 pounds. This was an inference based on the selling price of Sequence 5 extraordinary characteristics. After all, she had never seen items of this level for sale before.

Contrary to her expectations, even the generous "Justice" Audrey did not rush to speak. The few people looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence. Only the "Hanged Man" sitting opposite her " His eyes were burning, as if he knew something in advance.

After a while, Cattleya the Hermit asked:

"Can I ask, which path is Sequence 4?"

There was a subtle hint of vigilance in her tone...

and respect.
