Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 22 Chapter 22 A world without oil

Alice soon learned from the captain that Antigonus was tentatively designated as a "1" level sealed artifact and transferred to St. Samuel's Cathedral - which meant that her initial request was rejected. Even if you don't read it or touch it, you just take a look at it from a distance and try to divine it.

Despite this, Alice didn't know why she felt a lot more at ease, as if a stone had fallen to the ground in her heart, although there were still more stones hanging in her heart.

In order not to let her membership fees go to waste, and to find a place to relax, Alice ran to the Divination Club.

Not many people wanted to come to the little-known Miss Kingsley for divination, so Alice was happy to relax, drinking drinks and reading magazines in the club.

……

On Monday, above the gray fog, the worried, uneasy and confused Miss Justice asked the question after organizing her words several times: "Dear Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man and kind-hearted Miss Destiny who always help me, I have a question to ask, what can a pet with extraordinary power do to help its owner? Simply put, what can it do?"

Obviously, this was a question that would cause the atmosphere to fall into awkward silence. No one present spoke, but looked at Audrey with rather strange eyes.

Amid Audrey's deep regret and embarrassment, Alice spoke up: "...I also want to keep a pet with extraordinary abilities. Maybe you have any experience you can share with me, Miss Justice?"

Unfortunately, Audrey's behavior tells Alice that Miss Justice does not want to share this experience with her.

So Alice stopped speaking regretfully, and the respected Mr. Fool... Looking at Mr. Fool pinching his forehead, Alice felt that Klein must be very speechless at this moment.

"It depends on what kind of extraordinary abilities the pet has. For example, if it is an 'audience', it can observe and listen on your behalf on certain occasions. You know, people will be wary of the same kind, but are unlikely to suspect pets. Eavesdropping, even if the pet is crouching at his feet.”

Obviously, this statement came from Mr. Hanged Man, the only one who wanted to answer the question seriously, although his expression and tone were also very strange.

In everyone's tacit silence, Audrey finally realized that her experience had probably been guessed by everyone in the Tarot Club.

After Klein read the diary and announced that the transaction could begin, Audrey took the lead in proposing the transaction: "I want to know if there is a sequence potion with the name 'Arbiter', and also, what kind of Beyonder can go directly through the wooden door?" , or make the anti-lock invalid?"

"I need you to help me investigate something in exchange for an answer." In this war to grab business, Alger successfully defeated Klein.

"What's going on?" Audrey asked with interest and confusion.

"I want to know if the king intends to take revenge on the Fusac Empire within this year or before June next year and start a new war on the east coast of Balam." Alger said thoughtfully.

Audrey agreed to the request and made her first bargain.

The arrogant Audrey didn't seem to realize that there was a third person in this tarot session, so Alice had to remind the two of them: "Hey, if you want to exchange this kind of paid information, at least you shouldn't let me Are you going to listen in?"

"Oh!" Audrey realized then that she had ignored Alice, who was quite quiet most of the time. "Mr. Fool, can I request to communicate with Mr. Hanged Man alone?"

Klein readily agreed to the request, and they quickly completed the intelligence transaction. Alger thought for a moment and looked sideways at the top of the long bronze table: "Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to ask one thing. Is the true Sanctuary of the Creator promoted by the Aurora Society the legendary 'Land Abandoned by God'? "

"This is not something you should know now." Klein's calm voice came from the top of the long bronze table.

Unlike Alice, who guessed that Klein was probably unaware, Alger immediately lowered his head and apologized: "Please forgive me for my slight transgression."

After the atmosphere fell into silence, Audrey spoke as if she thought she should say something: "Mr. Fool, if, I mean if, I have the opportunity to join other organizations, such as the Psychological Alchemy Society, is it okay?"

Klein kept his posture of leaning back and chuckled: "No problem, my only request is that the existence of the Tarot Society cannot be revealed."

"If you become a member of another organization, the materials and intelligence you can exchange will definitely be improved."

"I understand." Audrey became excited again, and immediately thought of a question, "Mr. Fool, if I find a gentleman or lady who is suitable for the Tarot Society, can I guide them to join? How to guide them?"

Mr. Fool, who had no extra spiritual energy, stopped talking.

Alger did not see Mr. Fool's embarrassment under the gray mist, and asked: "Mr. Fool, what are the criteria for joining subsequent members of our party? How to judge?"

Mr. Fool's silence made Audrey and Alger feel uneasy. Alice chuckled and tapped the table: "Mr. Fool has already said this about this."

Audrey and Alger looked at Alice in confusion.

"It's up to Mr. Fool himself to decide," Alice reminded with a smile, "Also, confidentiality is our purpose."

"That's it! Thank you, Miss Destiny," Audrey remembered this matter due to Alice's reminder, "Then, if I find a suitable participant, can I introduce it to you? Mr. Fool?"

Compared to Audrey, Alger noticed more content - Miss Destiny's relationship with Mr. Fool seemed to be unusual?
"My name must not be recited without my permission."

After making his concluding remarks, Mr. Fool ended the Tarot session, and then it was time for Alice to chat privately with Klein.

Alice took the diary handed over by Klein, and she immediately understood the reason why Klein kept her - not to mention the ancient, secretive organization that secretly affects the world situation, it is just that there is no oil in the world. It's shocking enough.

Alice would not fail to understand what oil represents. Even a high school student knows that oil is also known as the "blood of industry." Without oil, industry will stop here. Alice suddenly understood why. After Emperor Russell promoted the industrial revolution, the world's technology has never progressed again.

What's more, the absence of oil itself also illustrates a deeper problem - is the oil buried in a restricted area that humans cannot set foot on, or is the world simply not equipped with enough time to produce oil?

Alice suddenly became very interested in the history of this world.
