Backlund, Queens, the residence of Earl Hall.

Seeing that the time was getting closer to the secret party, Audrey made an excuse and went back to the bedroom to lock the door. She restrained her emotions and sat on the bed, quietly waiting for three o'clock to arrive.

Due to the impact of the previous death of "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos, her life has become more restrictive. The constant attention from the extraordinary guards forces her to constantly review her actions and carefully maintain her "concern for the extraordinary."

The image of the occult enthusiast that the world longs for.

Yes, just a lover of occult science, Miss Audrey Hall has not set foot in that dangerous and fascinating realm!

But Miss Justice of the Tarot Society is different.

If nothing unexpected happens, this week she will get the pituitary gland of an adult colorful lizard from the transaction from Mr. "The Hanged Man", get the main material for the Sequence 8 potion, and will soon be promoted to a "Mind Reader"!

This obviously meant far more to her than the 30,000-pound bounty offered by "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Chillingas and other material rewards.

There is only one thing...about a certain person that worries the girl.

Miss Alice, who had not responded to contact messages for many days, finally appeared last night. Audrey was overjoyed and forced her into her bedroom, and pulled her to the soft sofa covered with expensive blankets.

In this late night when everyone else had fallen asleep, the two sat looking at each other and chatting endlessly for a long time. The topic changed from Alice's current situation to a talk about all over the world, from the Balam Empire in the south to the far north of the northern continent.

The Northland of Fusac.

The girls' ideas collided with each other during the conversation, and their moods gradually relaxed through the soft laughter, all of which were enough to dispel the tiredness at night.

If Alice hadn't promptly reminded her that it was time to take a rest at around one o'clock in the morning, Audrey wouldn't have even realized that they had been chatting for so long.

Of course, similar to her previous night chat experiences, Alice brought a "dream drink" that was said to be special to her hometown - before drinking the clear and transparent liquid in the cup, you just need to close your eyes and imagine its taste, and raise your hand.

When you sip the cup and taste it, you will be able to taste the taste in your heart between your lips and teeth, no matter it is sweet, sour or spicy!

Audrey tried this unique way of drinking with the flavors of famous wines such as mist champagne and Ormere wine. She also tried to recall the mint-flavored apple juice made by her personal maid Anne. The "dream drink" never let her down.

Looking forward to it, every mellow, fresh, sour and sweet taste she imagined was perfectly realized.

"This may be the only 'dream memory' in the world."

Alice gently shook the goblet and murmured a short sentence like an aria in a low voice. Then she stood up and left shortly after, disappearing from Audrey's eyes as if she had never appeared before.

With pleasure but also some regret, Audrey looked at the hour hand that was gradually pointing to the hour, and sighed in her heart.

I really hope I can summon up the courage to invite Miss Alice to sleep with me next time... Well, but if we stay in the same room with her, we will definitely chat without sleep until almost dawn. I can definitely imagine that scene

...I don’t know when Mr. Fool’s favored one will end his investigation of Miss Alice and invite her to join the Tarot Club...

With all kinds of expectations and excitement, sometimes mixed with a bit of fantasy, the illusory crimson light surged out like a tide, engulfing Audrey.

…………

In the majestic palace above the gray fog, "Justice" Audrey was about to say hello as usual, while "The Hanged Man" Alger planned to reveal the manuscript he had prepared long ago, intending to please the mysterious person with the 19 pages of Russell's diary.

The unpredictable "fool".

But they all failed to seize the opportunity to speak first——

"Meet our new member, Miss Lover."

Calmly and calmly stating the opening remarks of today's Tarot Club, "The Fool"'s slightly smiling voice reached everyone's ears, and also cheered up the three Tarot Club members, who invariably looked at the long-haired Tarot Club member.

In the middle of the table, look at the extra slender figure.

"The people here are Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. Sun..."

Even if he is not an extraordinary person who is good at perceiving emotions, "The Hanged Man" Alger can vaguely discern certain information from "The Fool"'s brisk and joyful introduction.

His attitude towards the new member "Lover" is almost obvious and cordial... Will it be the so-called high-sequence strongman who was previously guided by the proposal of "Justice" and personally reviewed by the favored one of "The Fool"?

The favored one of "The Fool"...

Thinking of this mysterious figure hidden behind the scenes, "The Hanged Man" Alger's mind flashed to the strange scene of "Hurricane Vice Admiral" Qilingos before his death, from a living, complete person to rotting and withering into a skeleton.

The horrific scene suddenly made my heart tremble.

He did not dare to make any more guesses, and kept a gregarious silence, silently looking at the new members whose faces were blurry and could only vaguely make out their outlines.

As for "Justice" Audrey, who should have entered the "audience" state to analyze the current situation, she stopped thinking after looking at her "lover".

Until "The Fool" finished his introduction, the entire ancient and majestic palace fell into a brief silence. The girl finally came back to her senses, suppressed her excitement and excitement, lifted up her skirt, and spoke in a particularly energetic tone.

Say hello:

"Good afternoon, Miss Lover~"

…

A little cold.

Realizing that there seemed to be something wrong with the order of her greetings, "Justice" Audrey hurriedly turned around and gave a remedial salute to "The Fool":

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Fool, I was a little... yes, I was a little excited when I saw a new member joining. For a moment, I forgot that I should say hello to you first..."

"It doesn't matter."

The "Fool", who seemed to be in a good mood, sat in his dominant position and smiled lightly to indicate that it was okay.

Until then, the new member "Lover" who had been silent until now seemed to react. He looked around at the people sitting at the long table and spoke in a calm tone:

"Good afternoon everyone, of course, Miss Justice, you too."

She speaks Rune with a strange accent, has long bright light blond hair, and does not wear too many accessories. Her dress is an everyday lightweight style with classical style elements added, and it is obviously hand-designed and cut...

Yes, you can’t be wrong! Miss Alice finally passed the test of Mr. Fool’s favored one, passed the observation and assessment, and became a member of the Tarot Society!

Ah, no, she should be called Miss "Lover" now.

"Justice" Audrey suppressed her urge to secretly express something to her, encouraged herself in her heart, and after greeting "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun" as usual, she heard "The Hanged Man"

Taking over the topic, I would like to thank the "Fool" and his favored ones with a collection of 19 pages of Roselle's diary.

I haven't had time to talk to Miss "Lover" yet...

The girl sat back in her own seat with grievance, quietly watching the Tarot Club enter its usual routine, and waiting for Mr. "The Fool" to finish reading the diaries that were presented.

Of course, "Justice" Audrey does not intend to waste Mr. Fool's reading time in vain.

She used the cover of gray fog to observe the "lover" in the middle of the long table without leaving any trace. And unlike the other two members who were also examining the newcomers, she claimed to know more about Alice and could also use her status as an "audience" to

"The ability characteristics of grasping some details that others cannot know.

Well, Miss "Lover" is not surprised that Mr. "Fool" calls Emperor Russell's notes a diary, nor is she surprised that Mr. "Fool" can read them... She has known for a long time that maybe they are Mr. "Fool"'s.

The Blessed One has had relevant exchanges with her...

And she didn't seem to care about other people's looks, nor was she curious about the identities of the other party participants... No, for a high-sequence extraordinary person like Miss Lover, just a glance at them was enough to remember the characteristics of each of them.

, enough analysis to summarize the possible identities of the Tarot Society members in reality...

Can she, can she see my true identity? Can she guess that I proposed to Mr. Fool to invite her to join?

"Justice" Audrey speculated nervously and excitedly, while on the other side, "The Hanged Man" Alger silently looked at the suspected new member of the high-sequence "Witch", alarm bells ringing in his heart.

Although the specific facial features and appearance of the other party cannot be clearly seen, even judging from the body outline alone, the "lover" is definitely a very charming young woman. While her demeanor is dignified and pure, you can also feel the contradictory maturity and

Temptation... The clothes she wears fit the curves of her body and can perfectly show the charm of a woman...

Instinctively, "The Hanged Man" Alger glanced in the direction of the "sun" and observed the mysterious member who was obviously just a teenager.

...Not surprisingly, "The Sun" seems to be a little stunned.

I really don’t know what “The Fool” thinks. Most of the high-sequence “witches” believe in a certain secret existence called the “Original Witch”. They belong to the witch sect that has been active on the historical stage since the Fourth Age.

It may be inextricably linked to that bloody and cruel witch family...

“The Fool” recognized his “lover” who is a high-sequence “witch”, does it mean that his choice tendency has changed compared to before, and he intends to make friends with the secret organization that spreads disasters...

What's more, the main tarot card of "Lovers" symbolizes the perfection of love to a considerable extent. In addition, the addition of "Lover" has the "Fool" Beloved observing and evaluating behind the scenes... The "Fool" Beloved is suspected of being a "lover".

A demigod of the "Death God" path...

hiss--

A guess suddenly flashed in the mind of "The Hanged Man" Alger, a weird guess that made people think and be surprised: Is there really an emotional relationship between the "lover" and the beloved of "The Fool"?

If "The Hanged Man" is lucky enough to know that the diary he submitted today happens to mention the disaster at the end of the Fourth Age, the "Pale Disaster" that was caused by the "God of Death" and the "Original Witch" teaming up to sweep across the Northern Continent.

I don’t know what guesses will be made.

In short, when the "Fool" sitting at the head of the table put down the six-page duplicate diary in his hand, tapped the edge of the long table and looked at the members of the Tarot Society, what he saw was that "Justice" and others unanimously turned their eyes from "Lovers"

"A tacit understanding of moving away from the body.

...Could it be that unpredictable charm ability that is causing trouble again?

Suppressing the thought of complaining, Klein chuckled, and publicly announced the two laws mentioned in Russell's diary in a calm tone, calling them common sense that he had forgotten to explain to everyone, and gave them to the Tarot Society for free.

members.

Of course, according to his guess, "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun" must know the "law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics" and know that extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but will only be transferred from one thing to another.

But for the second law, the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences, they may not necessarily know the principle behind it.

For the secret knowledge behind this "simple common sense", "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun" voluntarily paid the price in order to obtain the explanation from "The Fool".

So, coincidentally, they once again focused their attention on the "lover" who had been silent until now, and observed how this unsociable, suspected demigod would react.
To be continued...
