Chapter 1026 The Tarot Society officially debuts "This '0' level sealed object is very dangerous. When it was sacrificed by Ms. 'Hermit', it even triggered a reaction from the power of 'Origin Castle', which tightly bound it... except This is the first time I have faced a counterattack when divining the true god or the essence...

"...By the way, Miss Magician was imprisoned in this sealed object by the Saint of Secrets as a bait. We need to do it as soon as possible." Let it out..."

He muttered to himself as if to relieve the pain in his heart. It wasn't until his eyes gradually looked at the high-backed chair belonging to Angel that Klein nodded and made up his mind.

Leaving the gray fog, he used the faceless man to The ability changed his figure and appearance, turning into a man in his forties or fifties with gray hair on his temples and well-dressed. Then he walked into St. Samuel's Church, stuffed a large ten-pound note in the offering box, and found the change. Sit down in a secluded corner.

Of course, he would not dare to use fake money as a sacrifice to the goddess.

After reciting the goddess's honorary name in full, Klein lowered his head and closed his eyes in an almost silent tone. Said:

"... It seems that my only choice for promotion to Sequence 2 is to enter the 'Land Abandoned by the Gods' and look for the long-lost Dark Demonic Wolf. I wonder if you can give me some enlightenment...

"In addition, Amon's body is there. There is a land waiting for my arrival, and I want to know whether going there is the right choice..."

He wanted to ask the Storm Lord again why he was not so willing to hand over the "Never-Ending Theater" to him, but then he thought again I felt that this seemed to be a suspicion of instigating the relationship between the gods, so I couldn't ask in the end.

If you can't get it, you can't get it. Klein has no choice but to smile in response to a god's willfulness.

As soon as the thoughts in his mind became chaotic, Klein felt a dark night sky appear in front of him, with a few stars lighting up, and a piece of complicated information entered his mind.

"Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar", "God of Wishes"... Looking through the information that was obviously stuffed into his mind by the goddess, Klein continued to wait for the answer to the latter question, but it was not until he came to the "Dark Demonic Wolf" that "After having a certain understanding, the goddess did not respond further until there were several devout believers sitting next to her.

Only then did Klein realize that telling him Cotal's information represented the goddess's attitude:

A trip to the "Land Abandoned by Gods" is your only way out.

——Entering

the mirror world, Angel followed the black and red passage and instantly arrived in the mirror image of the "City of Disaster" surrounded by doomsday scenes.

She temporarily put her doubts about Klein behind, and waited for her lover, who was confused for some reasons like her before, to strengthen her heart, take the initiative to tell the secrets in her heart, and tell the true relationship between "The World" and "The Fool" .

No matter how bizarre the answer is, it's just that he and Mr. Fool are both one of the "travelers" suspended in the cocoon of light, not some ancient god. Is there anything you can't tell me... She muttered, His eyes wandered and he quickly found the person in the mirror standing on the street.

She just keeps standing here, won't she feel tired? If there is a chance in the future, let her go out and see more... Angel made up his mind, then landed in front of the person in his mirror and took the initiative to say hello.

The witch with the same blond hair and purple eyes seemed to have fallen into a state of sluggishness similar to hers. She woke up after being called out. She focused on Angel, nodded and said,

"Have all the matters outside been dealt with?"

"Charla" The picture is just a historical projection, not even as good as the Secret Puppet. The Secret Puppet may still leave extraordinary characteristics... Fortunately, the 'Dark Saint' was not taken away by him, and a lot has been gained..."

Although Angel felt that The person in the mirror should have a general understanding of the situation in the outside world, but he still told the other party about the battle and subsequent handling in detail. The person in the mirror also enjoyed the process of communication between the two, with a slight smile on his face all the time. He smiled and looked at her with doting eyes.

It wasn't until she talked about her and Klein's speculation on how to use "a corpse" to sneak into the land abandoned by the gods that the smile on the face of the person in the mirror froze.

After a moment, she shook her head and said:

"You can actually think of such a method... Although corpses with extraordinary properties are not much different from ordinary potion materials, this method is not very feasible... No , the problem is not the method itself, but that your Klein cannot use this method..."

"Then what do you mean by 'turning into a corpse'?"

Angel has an intelligence that has been ridiculed ? Feeling discouraged, he asked rather unconvincingly.

"Haven't you already been to the Land Abandoned by the Gods once? In the process of preparing to be promoted to 'Despair' and collecting potion materials?" The man in the mirror imitated Angel's movements and tilted his head, prompting, "That kind of It's impossible to bring a living person with you, but wouldn't it be easy to bring a corpse?"

"Wouldn't it be contaminated by the 'City of Disaster'... By the way, this only works for the living, the dead, magical items, and The Extraordinary characteristics will not be affected, and at most the speed of precipitation will be faster..."

Angel just asked a question, and then he thought of the previous situations when he used the characteristics of the City of Disaster many times, and answered by himself.

"That's right, just go to the power leakage point of the 'City of Disaster' on Sona Island, kill Klein, take his body along the passage connected to it to break through the blockade of the God's Abandoned Land, and take him to the other end, and then let him go to the other side. Just resurrect the corpse,"

the man in the mirror said with satisfaction.

"The only question is whether he is willing to truly trust you and put his life in your hands."

——After

going to her home in Queens to change into a dress again, Audrey walked along the already arranged The "dream" returned to Thordrak Palace and appeared in the lounge.

Due to the effect of psychological invisibility, Susie in the room did not notice that she had returned, but continued to watch the door vigilantly, ready to pretend to be her master at any time to deal with other guests.

After waking up the dutiful golden retriever, Audrey tidied up a little and returned to the ballroom. At this time, the big clock in the palace rang the ten o'clock bell at night, before she secretly left to join the hunt for the "Secret Saint" Only half an hour had passed since the battle.

On the dance floor in the center of the ballroom, the nobles continued to exchange dance partners, the dance music also sped up, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax. Audrey held a glass of misty champagne and watched the dance below indifferently from the corridor on the second floor. Her expression was indifferent, which discouraged many young male nobles who wanted to come forward to invite them.

But in her heart, she recalled over and over again the brief experience of cooperating with the "Hermit" lady and fighting the "Secret Saint" Botis. In her heart, because she successfully revealed the incomplete mythical creature form, she slapped Botis. His head flew away and he was so excited.

Of course, that process was actually quite bloody, but in the dragon-transformation state, Audrey's heart was filled with the spiritual imprint of extraordinary characteristics and crazy and chaotic thoughts, and she could barely control herself by relying only on the "audience"'s hints to herself and the grasp of her mental state. I didn't feel scared because of my behavior.

Audrey, you have to remember that it is not good to slap the flying man on the head. You cannot attribute this behavior to the negative effects of the "dragon transformation" state...and remember not to reveal the form of a mythical creature easily unless you are sure. End the battle as soon as possible and go home to find another set of clothes... She warned herself in her heart, summarizing the experience and lessons learned from this battle.

At this moment, a somewhat formal voice came from behind her:

"Miss Hall, on such a wonderful night, why don't you go down and dance to the melodious melody?"

Because I was worried that someone would find out that I was wearing a different dress than half an hour ago... She muttered silently, but when she turned around, she had a perfect smile on her face:

"No, thank you."

She felt a little strong Under the psychological suggestion, the nobleman who struck up a conversation entered the bathroom in three steps and two steps at a time, and stayed there until the dance was over.

————

In the underground area of ​​St. Samuel's Church, Leonard Mitchell visited all the members of the "Red Gloves" team who were on the mission tonight, confirming that they had not been fatally injured, nor had they been affected by some strange thing. After the power was contaminated, he was just about to go see Sherman, who was being held in "protective custody" behind Chanis' door, when he was informed that he should rush to the conference room upstairs immediately to participate in an important meeting.

He had to suppress his inner anxiety and walked along the spiral staircase with stained glass at the back of the church to the room they usually used when communicating with nighthawks from other places.

The place was already crowded with people, including punishers who also wore black trench coats, MI9 agents who liked to hide in the shadows of corners and wore jackets, and even several people he had worked with before but had now been ordered to stop. A member of the "Machine Heart" for external operations.

What happened? It couldn't be because of the actions of the Tarot Society tonight... He had some guesses in his heart, but his expression showed unconcealable surprise. He found a table with more night watchers, and just about to sit down, he... After being called by Archbishop Anthony Stevenson who was standing next to the big blackboard, he had to come to the front in full view of everyone.

"He is one of the people involved tonight. He just came to attend this meeting after treating his injuries and taking a short break," Anthony introduced to Raydal Valentine and Horamik Haydn, who were also demigods beside him. said, then looked at Leonard, "Tell me about tonight's situation."

Leonard nodded, looked at the dozen official Beyonders and military personnel from the three major churches who were looking up to him, cleared his throat, There was a moment of silence as if to organize language, and then he spoke out the words he had prepared.

In "Story", he received a tip from his long-term cooperating informant, Wild Extraordinary Sherman, and led a team of "Red Gloves" to arrest an underground gathering where members of the Aurora Society might be present, and successfully captured that person. "Bishop Rose" is ready to be taken back to the station for strict interrogation.

But on the way back, a knight in black armor attacked the carriage of Leonard's team. The Red Glove captain, who was familiar with the church's internal information, recognized the man as one of the saints of the Aurora Society, the "Saint of Darkness" "Xima decisively assisted the team members to abandon the car and escape, but was still severely injured. Although he resisted for a moment with the help of the magical items he saved up to buy and the witch Sherman, they were still injured one after another and did not even have a chance to call for help.

At that time, a man wearing a top hat and a windbreaker suddenly appeared. He quickly eliminated the "Dark Saint" in a lightning battle, turning him into a puppet that bowed his head and obeyed orders, and then helped Sherman heal. After suffering fatal injuries, he bowed gracefully and left the scene.

In addition to blaming the battle that took place while other team members were unconscious on Klein, most of what he said was true. In addition, Klein used paper figures to perform anti-divination, and the old man also made a guarantee that it would be absolutely correct. Without being seen as having a problem, Leonard had the confidence to muddle through with half-truths and half-false narratives.

But under the gazes of several demigods, he still felt a little nervous.

"...You mean, he threw down a tarot card before he left?"

After listening to Leonard's narration, "Dark Blue Priest" Leidar, whose eyes flashed with lightning, asked in a deep voice, his voice like thunder.

"Yes, that is the 'World' card."

Leonard glanced at Archbishop Anthony first and replied respectfully at his signal.

"In another place, in the forest in the southeastern suburbs, they left the 'Hermit' and 'Justice' cards."

The MI9 agent leader, who was standing with several archbishops, was also joined by a man with black hair and golden eyes . During the discussion, Leonard noticed that he didn't have much respect for the other demigods, who were probably at the same level.

Without time to think about it, he made a surprised expression at the right time:

"Southeast suburbs? There are also Tarot cards?"

"Yes, tonight, while you were attacked, the 'Secret Saint' of the Aurora Society also died in Under the siege of two demigods, it was not the first battlefield. The three demigods fought from the Backlund Bridge area to the outskirts. The scene was also horribly polluted, and high-level sealed objects were probably used. "

Anthony. Introduced loudly.

"I noticed that you have conducted investigations on Tarot-related events before, made many guesses, and eliminated many wrong answers. Now, please introduce your results."

It turns out that it is for this reason that I also Thinking that there were some clues left behind by "Justice" and "The Hermit", Leonard was caught on the trail...Leonard secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to introduce the secret organization he belonged to to the three major churches and the military.

Of course, this is from an outsider's perspective.

(End of chapter)Chapter 1027 I Check Myself "...To sum up, they believe in the 'Fool', and each use Tarot cards as their code names to perform their own tasks in Backlund, Maritime Colonies, Southern Continent and other places, but occasionally There will be times for joint operations like today..."

After Leonard selectively informed all the members attending the meeting of the clues he had used when investigating Angel and Klein, he took a deep breath and continued:

"Tonight, kill ... The man who died and took away the 'Dark Saint' was not disguised. I recognized him as Gehrman Sparrow, who had turned the 'Admiral of Hell' into a marionette, based on the tarot cards he left behind. Look, he is probably a member of the codename 'World'."

"Information has confirmed that Gehrman Sparrow has become a demigod and has close relationships with many saints and angels. For example, he has risen rapidly in the past six months. She may have become the 'Golden Queen' of Sequence 3, or the original 'Death Archon' of Balam, who is an angel who is still active on earth,"

added Horamick, the head of the Backlund Diocese of the Steam Church.

"As far as I know, the 'Golden Queen' Angelica Sage is also an angel on earth. She has a powerful ghost ship left over from the Fourth Age under her command, and is related to the 'Ghost Empire' that has recently been rumored to reappear... We What we are facing is probably a mysterious organization with a long history and ties to many ancient empires."

Radar Valentine, the short and dark-haired Archbishop of the Church of the Storm, corrected Horami in a roaring tone. He then looked at the demigod in charge of military affairs and said,

"Selt, what do you think?"

The handsome man with black hair, golden eyes, and a straight dress shook his head:

"MI9 doesn't have much They first appeared in our sight last year when they prevented the True Creator from descending in the dock area. At that time, they left many 'Queen' cards on the scene."

After hearing this, Leonard pretended to think and pondered for a moment. , asked after careful consideration:

"This time their action against the Aurora Society is also to prevent some conspiracy of the True Creator? Is this their consistent course of action?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, he began to put the tarot The actions tonight will lead to the "True Creator". Anyway, this believer of the evil god commits many crimes every year. Not only does he anger all the official extraordinary people, but his relationship with other secret organizations is not so harmonious. It is normal for him to be retaliated against.

Several demigods thought about it and felt that this possibility was not small.

Archbishop Anthony, who was presiding over the meeting, looked around and saw that no one raised any more questions. He coughed lightly and said,

"This organization codenamed Tarot Cards has targeted the Aurora Society, serial murderers, and dens for trafficking girls in many operations. We have no intention to be enemies with the church or the military for the time being. The current war situation is tense and we are seriously short of manpower. It is not appropriate to take the initiative to conflict with them.

"But they have faith, are well-organized, and have close relationships with many angels on earth. It represents uncertainty and danger, and necessary investigations still need to be carried out...Leonard, your team will handle this matter. Only collect necessary intelligence and do not conflict with them head-on. "

Leonard, who thought he had successfully brought the focus to the "True Creator", had a momentary expression of astonishment. This was not because he did it deliberately, but because he really didn't expect the boomerang to fly back so quickly, and the Archbishop actually let himself. Members of the Tarot Club are investigating the Tarot Club, investigating Mr. Fool?

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop. "

He agreed solemnly.

The military demigod Selt, who felt that the matter had nothing to do with him, and the Archbishop of the Church of Steam Horamick, who no longer had much law enforcement authority in Backlund, nodded and approved Anthony's decision. Only "Deep Blue Priest" Leidar frowned, looked at Leonard and said:

"Since you are in charge, then give them a formal name, otherwise every report will say 'Tarot cards as code names'" The secret organization' is too troublesome. "

"Then it's called 'Tarot Society'? "

Leonard pointed to the "Justice", "Hermit" and "World" cards written on the blackboard, as well as the "Queen", "Emperor" and "Judgement" cards that had appeared in Backlund before. said.

"That's it. "Before Raydal could speak, Archbishop Anthony nodded slightly and said, "Just call them 'Tarot Society'. "

...

Leonard, who was appointed as the leader of the "Tarot Society Investigation Team", discussed with members of the Punisher, Mechanical Heart, and MI9 in the conference room late into the night, and initially formulated a plan for subsequent liaison and cooperation. , finally managed to escape and returned to the underground area of ​​the church.

Regardless of his fatigue, he immediately came to the back of Chanis Gate, where less important sealed objects and materials were kept on the first floor, as well as where Extraordinary prisoners were temporarily held. To protect certain important people who are in danger or facing danger, it is not as tightly guarded as on the second and third floors.

As the captain of the "Red Gloves", Leonard summoned the team leader who was guarding the Chanis Gate tonight. Leonard pretended to be an expression. He asked calmly:

"Where is the witch who was sent to Chanis Gate tonight? I need to see her.

"She has left. " "The night watcher in charge of today's guard duty turned over the records with confirmation, "Just an hour ago, His Excellency the Archbishop came in person, and a young lady followed. "

The archbishop came in person to take Sherman away? Who was the other young lady...

Leonard was confused. After asking again and again, he confirmed that the person who came with Anthony was actually his former colleague, who knew the Tarot Club. "Queen" Angel!

An hour ago, extraordinary people from the three major churches and the military were discussing how to find traces of the "Tarot Society" in the conference room upstairs, but the "Queen", an important member of the Tarot Society, walked in swaggeringly. Chanismen took away his Little Arcana card, which made Leonard feel astonished and out of touch with reality.

Of course, he had known for a long time that Angel was still closely connected to the Goddess Church, and there was a high probability that he belonged to the Goddess . Beloved, it is not difficult to come to St. Samuel's Church to retrieve Sherman, so I just left Chanis Gate with emotion, returned to the empty prayer hall through the quiet corridor, and was thinking about going home to rest for a while. Yes, it's better to go to the East District to see if Sherman got home safely. A hazy gray fog appeared in front of his eyes, and "World" Klein's pretendingly low words came:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I request that a temporary meeting be held in ten minutes." Meeting. "

At this time... it should be the summary of today's action and the distribution of spoils?

Leonard, who was originally more interested in this matter, smacked his lips. He felt that the meeting was at an inappropriate time, but he had no way to refuse, so he had to quickly return home. , prepared to be pulled into the gray fog.

——Crimson

light flashed, and several figures appeared in the ancient palace above the gray fog. As soon as Leonard regained his sight, he subconsciously looked towards the long bronze table. Looking up, it was not surprising to find that Mr. Fool was not present. The person presiding over the meeting was the "World" Klein opposite him.

The other members who were summoned were all members who participated in today's "hunting" operation . , all sitting on their own high-back chairs, thus showing an extremely imbalanced gender ratio: except for "Star" Leonard and Klein who issued the commission, there were no other men present, while all the women's side When they arrived, Leonard felt that he was a little redundant sitting across from them.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the table in front of Klein. There was only a silver-black one that made him instinctively afraid. Outside the small jewelry box, there are several items with different brilliance and shapes, as well as a small black bag, a few insect bodies made of starlight, and a small pile of shining gems.

And half of the head looked like it had been slapped off the neck by a wild beast.

Are these tonight's spoils? Do those items with different colors and shapes all have extraordinary properties? It seems a bit too much... Could it be that the "Dark Saint" was finally given up by Klein and exploded with extraordinary characteristics? Doesn't he need to keep this powerful marionette?

Questions popped up in Leonard's mind.

The other members also had their own problems, but they all remained silent and looked at the "world", waiting for the member who issued the hunting commission to speak.

Among them, Angel was the most indifferent. She just glanced at the high-backed chair where "The Fool" usually sat, and then looked at Klein. She didn't seem to care about the distribution of the spoils; and as the main force in hunting the "Saint of Secrets", "Justice" Audrey and "Hermit" Cattleya were looking forward to this, but they were confused as to why the loot was so much more than what they sacrificed to Mr. Fool.

"Judgment" Quinn only has Sequence 6 and is not very helpful in the battle. He is only responsible for using the ban to prevent the "Saint of Secrets" from escaping immediately, so he does not have much hope for his share of the spoils.

The one who was most at a loss was "Magician" Forsi. After she entered the underground party venue with the "Hermit's" voyeuristic eye as planned, she felt a trance, and then came to Backlund from the sealed room. 's suburbs.

Miss Audrey, who released her from the "Box of the Past", announced without joy or sadness that the hunt was over. The "Secret Saint" had been patted into a pulp, leaving only a few "Star Worms" and half a dozen Head, Forsi successfully completed the bait mission.

I don't even know what happened... Her eyes swept over the "Box of the Past" and the trophies spread out on the table, stopping at the messy brown hair stained with blood, and the fear and despair frozen in the dark eyes. On half of the head of the "Saint of Secrets" Botis.

It's not much different from the "remains" of Mr.

She finally helped her teacher deal with the traitor who betrayed the Abraham family and caused the death of many of its members.

As for other trophies, since "The World" has reached an agreement with teacher Dorian, and the "Box of the Old Ones" is part of the transaction, she is not that concerned.

Looking at the eyes that were either indifferent, expectant, or confused, Klein chuckled and announced in a hoarse voice:

"Congratulations to everyone, the mission of hunting the 'Secret Saint' has been successfully completed, and there have been additional gains. "The 'Dark Saint' Kosma appeared at the same time as your actions, trying to attack Mr. Star who destroyed

other underground gatherings and attracted the attention of the 'Aurora Society', and he also paid his own price.

"The extraordinary characteristics he left behind will also be added to the trophies for everyone to choose from."

No wonder there are no other guards around the "Saint of Secrets". No wonder the "Aurora Society" has no support until the end of the battle. No wonder the trophies on the table are So many, it turns out that the "Dark Saint" also died tonight, and as the "Black Knight", he has many extraordinary characteristics in his body...

Some doubts in the minds of "Justice", "Hermit" and others After getting the answer, he looked at the trophies even more intensely.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had been aroused, Klein smiled again. He first looked at the "hermit" and said,

"First of all, this is what I promised you. It can be used to digest the secret knowledge of the potion."

As he said that, he The secret knowledge in the memory was condensed into a ball of light that could only be touched by the spirit body, and was passed to Cattleya through the air. As soon as the latter's fingertips touched the ball of light, there was a bang in her head, and countless occult knowledge such as Flooding in.

Among them are many ancient legends and fairy tales that Klein summarized after confirming that this is the earth and that he has just traveled through time. As a "mysticologist", Cattleya can create a fairy tale based on these true but unknown legends. His own unique magic is as useful as the hidden history to ancient scholars.

After Cattleya recorded this information and calmed down, Klein pointed to the trophies on the table and continued:

"You can pick your part first."

The value of various items is not equal, but Klein did not He did not limit the selection range of "The Hermit". He believed that this pirate general and new demigod had his own rules and was rich in experience, so he would not take too much or take anything recklessly.

Moreover, her choice can "set a pattern" for the following inexperienced members, which is why I asked her to choose first... Klein muttered in his heart, watching Cattleya's eyes lingering on "Old He stayed on the "Box of the Sun" for a long time, obviously coveting this "0" level sealed object and knowing its danger.

In the end, she looked at the group of "Mystic Mage" extraordinary characteristics that originally belonged to Botis, stretched out her hand and clicked it in the air, and said:

"I will choose it."

It's very wise, knowing that even if you choose "Old "Box of the Sun", to her is just a source of danger and a coveted target for others, and "Mystic Mage" can be made into a sealed object. If she is lucky, it can become as good as "Creeping Hunger" and "Rose Necklace" Powerful items...

Klein nodded and reminded kindly:

"You can choose some more extraordinary materials."

In the end, "The Hermit" picked two more "Star Worms" and extraordinary materials worth about 2,000 pounds—— These scattered items all come from Butis's cloth bag with space storage capacity.

After planning the hunting operation and choosing the "hermit" as the biggest contributor, it was the turn of "Justice" Audrey.

The latter also skipped the "Box of the Past" and stretched out his hand without hesitation, imitating the "hermit" and pointing to another attribute:

"I choose this one."
