chapter.52 New Week Tarot Club

Exiting the hazy vision unique to dreams, Klein held his head and exhaled a long breath.

To be honest, he was mentally prepared to hit a wall before performing the divination, but actually he successfully saw the appearance of Arthur Watson during the dream divination and saw her every move clearly.

This means that the vest clone "Watson" is different from the witch's body, and has not made any targeted anti-divination or anti-prophecy methods.

Could this be Alice's oversight? No, Klein would rather believe that she did this on purpose.

And if he hadn't known the connection between "Watson" and Alice, he would never have thought that they were actually the same person just based on the pictures he saw in the divination.

But obviously, the evaluation about Alice is not the focus that he should pay attention to at this time.

This premeditated attack occurred after the surveillance personnel were removed.

At that time, he only confirmed the retreat of the men who had been secretly staying near his home. He did not consider that the mission of these men might have changed from "surveillance" to "exercise of force." It is conceivable that if the positions were reversed, the men who went home alone would be the first to retreat.

If it were him, would he also be the one receiving the bullets?

Judging from the situation seen through divination, those thugs did not come for the purpose of killing people, but more like they came with some intention of making people incapacitated. Perhaps it is for this reason, although Arthur Walter

It seemed that the strike was very serious, but the three gangsters only lost consciousness and there was no real danger to their lives.

In short, whether the gangsters planned to kidnap or received other orders, the encounter in the living room was undoubtedly a nightmare that took them a long time to heal in just a few seconds.

Klein gradually put away his mood when joking and complaining. After disposing of the white paper with the divination sentence written on it, he put the scrapped gun back into the trash can. He turned around and walked to the kitchen without knowing it, preparing to cook some noodles.

, stir-fry some condiments with vegetables and meat to solve the lunch problem.

The previous wavering caused by the removal of surveillance personnel by the Zmange Party had disappeared, and he knew there was no need to hesitate.

Ambassador Backlund must disappear and shut his mouth of giving orders forever.

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, the Tarot Club's regular gathering time arrived as usual. Several more figures shrouded in the fog appeared beside the long table in the Gray Mist Palace, breaking the silence that seemed to have been inherited from eternity in this mysterious space.

"Justice" Audrey raised her skirt happily and greeted the members in turn in a brisk tone:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~ Good afternoon, Miss Lover!"

She had received the transaction materials from Mr. "The Hanged Man" last week, prepared the "Mind Reader" potion, and successfully joined the ranks of Sequence 8 Beyonders.

Although she regretted not being able to share this joy with Miss Alice in reality, Audrey would spare time every day to avoid the sight of her maid and golden retriever Susie, and secretly take out the magical telegraph conch to listen to the other side.

In reply, I didn't forget to put it close to my lips, sending her today's mood as if whispering.

Miss Audrey is the youngest daughter of Earl Hall. She is a good girl in the eyes of her father, brother and elders. She is an elegant, courteous and generous daughter of a wealthy family in the eyes of her friends in the social circle. Therefore, there are words and thoughts that are destined to be impossible to say under those identities.

, and it became a little secret hidden in her heart.

Another Audrey, who likes mystery, is keen on fantasy and adventure, finally has a friend with whom she can share her joys and sorrows and listen to her concerns.

Of course, our private relationship will never affect the communication and affairs of the members of the Tarot Club...Miss "Justice" is a little guilty because she secretly placed the order of greetings of Miss "Lover" second only to "The Fool"

Mr. "The Hanged Man", the veteran of the Tarot Club who was supposed to be in this position, unfortunately had to settle for third place.

Through the ability of "Mind Reader", she could vaguely sense Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s desire to show himself in front of Mr. "Mr. Fool", so after politely accepting Mr. "Fool"'s promotion congratulations, she took the initiative to mention those things

Russell's diary that has not yet been submitted:

"Mr. Hanged Man, it's time for you to submit the six pages of your diary for this week."

"The Hanged Man" Alger did not show any dissatisfaction with this. He nodded and began to write down the contents of the diary composed of mysterious words, and reported it calmly before submitting it:

"Mr. Fool, I have obtained a piece of information related to the Secret Order."

Even at sea, he had enough information channels to give feedback on the conditions proposed by Mr. Fool last week - "The Hanged Man" Alger straightened his back and tried to show his strength in a silent and reserved manner.

Value.Valley

"Very good." The Fool, who was sitting at the top, nodded lightly and motioned calmly for him to disclose the information. His reaction showed neither impatience nor joy, and his attitude was also in line with Alger's guess about his position as a god.

"I got news that there is a certain connection between the Secret Order and the Republic of Intis."

After "The Hanged Man" Alger narrated the information, he respectfully presented Russell's diary, which he had completed dictating, and prepared to lower his head and wait for Mr. "The Fool" to finish it.

But this week was different from the past. The Fool who got the diary did not look at the parchment in his hand, but casually placed it on the long bronze table and said in a low voice with a smile:

"I want to issue a task. The nature of the task is not mandatory. You are free to choose whether to accept it."

As if deliberately leaving room for thinking and deliberation for the members, "The Fool" said in a leisurely manner that his other favorite needed to complete something in Backlund, but it was not convenient for him to show up in person.

"The mission content is to assassinate the ambassador of Intis to the Kingdom of Loen, Beclan Jean Martin."

After finishing his words, "The Fool" Klein calmly glanced at "Justice" who asked in surprise and "The Hanged Man" who was slightly surprised but overall calm. He did not let his eyes wander between the confused "Sun" and the one holding his chin with one hand.

After lingering on the distracted "lover" for too long, he maintained his previous relaxed tone and asked:

"Which of you is willing to take on this task? What kind of reward do you hope to receive for it?"

It's okay, even if no one really comes forward, at least there is a "lover" who can protect him... Klein maintained a relaxed and natural sitting posture, pretending to listen nonchalantly to "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" talking about the ambassador's information.

Try to control yourself not to pay too much attention to the actions of your "lover".

Derrick "The Sun" was confused from beginning to end and didn't understand what these pieces of giant language meant.

What is the Republic of Intis, what is the intelligence chief, what is the bloody march, what is inciting the opposition between the people and the government, I clearly understand every word, but I don’t understand it at all...

The simple young man from Silver City was completely unable to integrate into the discussion atmosphere brought about by this assassination mission, so he could only continue to listen in silence.

What gave him some comfort was that the "lover" lady on the other side of the long table also looked uninterested in the current topic. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't understand it or she simply didn't want to participate.

"Sun" Derrick still hasn't given up his plan to invite this craftsman who masters extraordinary weapon manufacturing methods to the city-state. The reason she gave for rejection before seems to him to be a tactful refusal, because she is unwilling or unable to come to Baiyin.

City's excuse, and based on Derrick's personal judgment, he prefers the latter.

Having participated in several Tarot sessions, he can be sure that he and others live in completely different city-states. Some common sense that he takes for granted may be intangible wealth with trading value, and only Mr. Fool has it.

Only the existence of unpredictable power can establish magical and incredible regular gatherings and adhere to the principle of trustworthy equivalent exchange... So, is there a way to make the craftsman "lover" leave her city-state as long as she pays a sufficient price to Him?

Departing for Silver City?

While Derrick was trying to understand and remember the words "The Hanged Man" and "Justice", he was thinking about how to use his own advantages to get what he needed from Mr. Fool.

Of course, he did not forget what he promised "Justice" about four times before the gathering, so he quietly waited for the discussion about the assassination mission to end, and waited until both "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" expressed their intention to accept the assigned mission.

, Mr. "Fool" nodded in agreement and began to read the parchments called diaries.

The reading time belonging to Mr. "Fool" soon came to an end. The being shrouded in mysterious gray fog made the parchment in his hand disappear, indicating plainly and gently that they could communicate freely.

Derrick the Sun, who had been silent until now, raised his hand first and looked at Justice, who seemed to be looking back with some feeling:

"I recently took some time to go to the library to search for information, but I couldn't find any classics that recorded the name 'Urolius'. Maybe I was looking for the wrong kind of books, and I shouldn't focus on historical books... Anyway,

Anyway! I have consolidated information related to the dragon clan, are you interested in knowing it?"

Audrey's eyes lit up, and she was convinced that this was exactly the knowledge she needed, because she had heard Mr. "Sun" call the "Audience" pathway the "Dragon" pathway, and clearly explained that it was an extraordinary path that originated from the dragon.

strength.

But before she could speak, she suddenly remembered a key point and couldn't help but turn to the seat under the long table with her cheeks feeling slightly warm.

She was the one who originally said she wanted to know about Ourolius, but the only person present who was related to this name had already obtained a seat in the Tarot Club as a "lover", which meant that she wanted to know behind the scenes.

The matter of Miss Alice’s enemy... was completely exposed like this!

Sure enough, Miss "Lover" was finally willing to raise her neck slightly, turning her head as if looking back and forth between "The Sun" and "Justice" who unconsciously straightened her waist:
Chapter completed!
