Chapter 168 Guess
With a swipe, a tree branch-shaped silver-white lightning lit up in the early winter night.
It didn't fall, but just pierced through the air, illuminating the area around where Klein was standing just now like daylight, with every detail clearly visible.
"Singer of God" Ace Snake withdrew his gaze, and whispered with a gloomy expression:
"The Rose School?
"It's not a 'resentful soul', nor is it a real undead creature..."
The mature middle-aged man with a pair of golden eyes glanced sideways at Kapin's corpse and said:
"Covered the target's body with Tarot cards...
"This is the second such case in the last two months."
"When was the first time?" Cardinal Snake asked in a deep voice.
The mature middle-aged man in a straight dress coughed lightly and said:
"The time the 'True Creator' tried to use a fraudster to descend."
"Then it's not the Rose School." Cardinal Snake made an affirmative judgment.
Although those organizations that believe in evil gods don't want to see anyone, they will not deliberately sabotage similar things.
"I think so too. Maybe it's a new hidden organization. Their characteristic is to sprinkle tarot cards all over their targets." The mature and handsome middle-aged man smiled and said, "And the tarot cards are presented in different ways." It seems to express different meanings... There are only two cards on the face of this corpse, one is 'judgment' and the other is 'emperor'. 'Judgment' is the motive and purpose, and 'emperor' is the organization code name? Of course, this may also be a ritual."
Cardinal Snake did not answer, looked around and said:
"Let's see what's going on here."
It wasn't until this time that the first batch of punishers arrived at Capin's villa.
…………
Above the gray mist, Klein only used the "paper doll substitute" three times, and Klein, who has not yet reached the limit, is using divination to confirm Daisy's follow-up safety.
"Daisy made it home safe and sound.
He held the pendulum in his left hand, closed his eyes and recited the sentence silently.
After seven times, Klein opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant turning counterclockwise, but the range was extremely small and the speed was very slow.
This means that there are still some twists and turns in Daisy's journey home, but they are almost negligible... After reading the revelation, Klein let go of his last worries.
He then looked at the two objects placed in front of him, both of which exuded relatively strong spiritual brilliance.
One of them is a light blue translucent hexagonal prism, with a hint of light flashing through it from time to time, as if lightning from the depths of consciousness, this is the extraordinary characteristic left by Ms. Katie.
The other one belonged to Parker, who hadn't played a role in the previous battle. His Beyonder characteristics were condensed into a ball, like a child's fist.
This "fist" is composed of three colors, iron black and dark red wrapped around a large silvery white.
Without hesitation, Klein immediately manifested a pen and paper, ready to use these two groups of Extraordinary characteristics to divination the corresponding potion formula.
Before he was promoted to Sequence 7, because the remaining Extraordinary characteristics had too many additional effects, it was almost impossible to use this divination formula, even if there was this mysterious space to eliminate interference and improve his divination ability to a certain extent.
Therefore, in the past, Klein only had the method of "psychic communication".
After he became a "magician", he was above the gray mist, and initially possessed the ability to divination with the remaining Extraordinary characteristics, but there was a high probability that he would not succeed.
This time, without exception, Klein failed shamefully.
However, he also gained a certain amount, that is, he figured out the sequence names corresponding to the two groups of Extraordinary characteristics.
"Parker is a Sequence 8 'Magistrate', and Katie is a Sequence 7 'Interrogator'... Isn't this the 'Arbitrator' path? This path is in the hands of the royal family, the military, and a small number of ancient noble families in Loen." However, they strictly control the leakage of formulas and extraordinary materials... Could it be that some of the girls kidnapped by Capin will be sent to some nobleman's manor?
"But they don't need to send four Extraordinary people to help Kapin for the sake of enjoyment. This is obviously not equal... Heras is much stronger than Katie. Maybe it's Sequence 6 of this path. After wearing that glove, It may even reach Sequence 5... Could it be that some bloody and evil sacrifices were involved, and the target of the request cannot be exposed?
"In addition to the kingdom, the Castilla family of Feneporte also has this extraordinary channel, and it has been passed on to their army and intelligence system... Is it another espionage case involving something?"
Klein tried to divine a few guesses of his own, and got a failed result again.
He temporarily put this matter behind him, and instead tapped on the edge of the long bronze table, he said to himself silently:
"As long as there is a formula and corresponding auxiliary materials, these two Extraordinary characteristics can make a person become a 'sheriff' in Sequence 8 and an 'interrogator' in Sequence 7... Miss 'Magician', that friend named Hugh, It seems that the extraordinary material of 'sheriff' is missing...
"Next time, I can sell Parker's share to Ms. Magician through 'World', and accumulate the material costs for my follow-up 'Faceless Man' sequence as soon as possible...Always through 'World', it seems not too Appropriate, I kept the tarot cards on purpose this time, if Miss 'Justice' hears about this matter, she will definitely think that it was done by my kin... Mister Fool will sell it for him..."
Klein quickly finalized the plan, and let the Extraordinary characteristics of "sheriff" and "interrogator" fly to the corner by themselves and hide them in the debris pile.
"I don't know what the names of Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 of the 'Arbitrator' path are...there is a sense of using order and law...'Judge'?" Klein withdrew his thoughts, half-closed his eyes, and carefully examined his own state .
He once again had the feeling that his spirit became lively, the potion was being pried, and his digestion was speeding up.
This time, he believed intuitively that he had summed up most of the "magician's rules", and some of the remaining details were better.
Embodying a round-bellied pen and parchment, Klein wrote as if strengthening his memory
"The Magician's Code:
"1. Don't do unprepared performances;
"2. The challenge is impossible, even if the final result is only false;"
Klein believes that the above are the two core cores of the "Magician's Rules". If you grasp them, you will grasp the key points, and the remaining ones are the complements and perfections of them.
"3. Do more active performances;
"4. Try to get the applause of the audience;
"5. Hold the target's attention."
...
Putting down the dark red round belly pen, Klein scanned it from beginning to end, and judged himself:
"The daily performance combined with three to four active 'performances' is enough for me to digest the 'magician' potion before the new year. If I challenge the impossible 'performance' again in the middle, the progress will be faster... That’s about as fast as I want to be.”
At this time, there are still two months before January 1, 1350.
After doing all this, Klein rubbed his forehead, ready to return to the real world.
After putting away the "Black Emperor" card, the biotoxin bottle and other items, he suddenly laughed and said with a self-deprecating:
"The challenge is impossible... Isn't this tantamount to death?"
As the voice echoed, Klein's figure disappeared above the gray fog.
In the cheap hotel in the Backlund Bridge area, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the candlelight that he summoned for his ceremony.
After finishing his work quickly, Klein put on the thick worker's jacket he had just bought for 4 soli, and walked to the window.
He picked up the sweet iced tea he bought before, looked at his blurred figure reflected on the window, smiled sincerely, and whispered to himself:
"cheers."
As soon as he finished speaking, he touched the glass with the cup in his hand, then lifted his chin and drank it in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, he left the hotel leisurely. The nearby gas street lamps were already fully lit, and the pedestrians and carriages were busy.
Klein wandered around the "Brave Man" bar, lingered for a while, and at 7:58, he knocked on the door of the Extraordinary party of old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom".
He put on the iron mask, put on the hooded robe, and acted ordinary, ordinary.
…………
At the same time, Xio, who regularly went to different places to check some contact signs every night, saw a sign that had never appeared before.
It belonged to the man in the golden mask who sold her the "sheriff" formula in the party called by Mr. A under the guise of others.
It's a sign of an urgent meeting!
"I haven't looked for me before, and I pretended nothing happened, why suddenly..." After thinking about it, I decided to take a look.
——The man in the golden mask promised to give her some missions, let her save enough money, and go to him to exchange the corresponding Extraordinary materials
So, Xio changed places and marked the time and place to meet.
Half an hour later, in a remote but well-connected alley, Xio, who had been watching secretly for a long time, walked out of his hiding place and walked towards the man wearing the golden mask.
The man was still wearing a black tuxedo, his light brown eyes swept over Xio's head and said:
"There is a mission for you."
"Difficulty and reward?" Xio asked familiarly.
The man pushed the golden mask:
"It's not dangerous, but it can be very dangerous, it all depends on how you do it.
"The initial reward is 30 pounds. If you can get useful information, I can even directly give you a piece of Extraordinary material corresponding to a 'sheriff'."
"What task?" Xio frowned slightly.
The man wearing the golden mask darkened his eyes and said:
"Go through your channels and find out who's been asking about Capin lately."
"Carpin? That human trafficker?" Xio asked in surprise.
The man wearing the golden mask nodded:
"Yes."
"I refuse this mission, I hate him very much!" Xio immediately declined.
The man on the opposite side snorted:
"Not for Capin.
"Because he's dead."
"Dead?" Hugh was a little confused.
"He died in his own home. His body was covered with tarot cards. There were two cards on his face. One was 'judgment' and the other was 'emperor'. The Tarot card was not reported to the police department," added the man in the gold mask.
