Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 4 The Tarot Club Without The Fool

"There is no news about the hidden sage yet."

Cattleya nervously squeezed the sapphire brooch in her hand,
"The members I sent to the Moss Penance have not been in regular contact. But what is certain is that since the hidden sage awakened, the actions of the Moss Penance have become less and less regular, and some of the high-level officials may not be ruled out. Directly obtained the possibility of hiding the oracle of the sage."

"The situation of the Abraham family has also gradually stabilized. Without the influence of the full moon curse, they can safely cultivate low-sequence members. Although it will take a lot of time, they are finally out of the predicament of almost extinction."

"Magician" Forsi's expression showed a sense of relief, and at the end she added with some embarrassment: "The first novel "Detective Moriarty" with the theme of Mr. World has been published. , if you want to see it, I can bring it to you later after the Tarot Club is over."

There was good-natured laughter on the long table.

This seems to be the fastest time Forsi has written a novel?Audrey smiled at the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but think of the other party's famous work "Storm Mountain Villa". It is a work that combines a series of elements such as love, reasoning, and supernatural powers. Due to too many elements, it is still in the works until now Audrey's desk, because she couldn't force herself to finish reading it for two years...

"The church has recently conducted several small-scale operations and seized a certain number of magical items related to the Mother Tree of Desire. However, because these items are too sensitive, I have not been able to take out samples under the supervision of the Church of Evernight, but I will Make a specific list of the functions and characteristics of some of the items."

"The Star" Leonard looked a little frustrated.Of course, it wasn't because I failed to take out the magical item.

"As for my personal mission, I found some down-and-out poets, then hired them to write some short poems, and let them sing them around." Leonard scratched his nose with his fingers, "Well, as for myself, I'm currently Studying the poetry collection of Emperor Roselle..."

The laughter this time was louder than Forsi's time, especially the voice of a certain blood race.

After laughing, the short "Judgment" Hugh Dilcha said: "I am still investigating the "Conqueror" extraordinary characteristic of the Sauron family, but even with the power of MI[-], it is nothing It is easy to understand. Perhaps it is not so easy because the person investigating is MI[-]. The only news we have so far is that the Jagged Cross is currently thinking about this Extraordinary characteristic, but we don’t know if they It has worked."

Having said that, there was a brief silence among the members of the Tarot Society.

Although the descriptions seem to be on the right track, however, their respective core tasks-of course, writing a book is not counted-has hardly made any progress.

If there is no progress in peacetime, that's all.However, the doomsday prophecy was pressing on everyone's head like a mountain at this time, and everyone couldn't help being impatient.

Audrey noticed the emotional changes of the members of the Tarot Society. After contemplating for a while, she cleared her throat and said to the members of the Tarot Society: "Recently, I am also trying to improve the sequence with the help of the Psychological Alchemy Society. However, Hermes' defense is very tight, and I haven't been able to catch his tell. However, compared to this, I have a new attempt to discuss with you."

Everyone cheered up and looked at Audrey.

"Regarding the mission of the true god, our progress is relatively slow. Because our sequence is too high, and each of our subordinates has a certain reputation, it is really not suitable for doing things like sneaking in."

Everyone in the Tarot Club nodded.Sometimes being famous is not a good thing, and the Tarot Society is currently in such a state.

The strength has not yet reached the level that can be compared with the decent church or other forces, but the reputation has already reached the point where other forces are on guard.It is obviously not that easy to buy an informant.

"My father, Earl Hall, once said something to my brother," Audrey stated slowly, "If you are entrusted to do something and you don't know how to do it, you should A good way is to hire someone who can do it for you for half the pay."

"Why only half the salary?" Forsi Wall, an exploited low-level writer, asked weakly.

"That's not the point, Ms. Magician." Audrey was interrupted, and looked at the other party dumbfounded. "And I happened to meet such a guy."

After speaking, she gave the parchment in front of her the idea of ​​painting, and Altaïr's portrait appeared on the parchment in front of other people's desks.

"This is an 'instigator' of the 'Assassin' pathway Sequence 8, who has just completed the assassination of the conservative traitor Baron Syndras."

"Very clever." Cattleya praised.

Assassinating a baron with real power and financial resources is not an easy task.Even though they don't have Extraordinary bodyguards with them at all times, their status itself is a kind of protection.

They have the priority protection of the church, and there are a large number of ordinary people guarding them. It is difficult for middle- and low-sequence Beyonders to ignore the damage of steam rifles, while high-sequence powerhouses will not attack people of this mere baron level.To complete this task in Sequence 8 is indeed a good Extraordinary.

"I gave him the formula for the follow-up potion. The Witch Sect is different from other organizations. They are a group with extremely single members. Conversely, for them who are expanding their power, a wild 'witch' It’s also something that needs to be fought for.”

Audrey continued to explain.

"You mean, let's develop some downlines first, and then let them contact the corresponding organization in order to improve the sequence, instead of buying members of other organizations?" Alger the Hanged Man immediately reacted.

"That's right, that's the general situation. I'll do some guidance behind the scenes, so that members of the Witch Sect have the opportunity to get in touch with this guy. The rest of the situation depends on his performance."

Audrey nodded.

Miss Audrey has really changed a lot...Compared to entrusting us to do things before, and handling all of it behind the scenes, she is now more inclined to manage it herself and control all the puppets on the stage...Forsi and Xio glanced at each other, feeling that Miss Audrey seemed to be fundamentally different from the previous innocent and ignorant young lady, but she couldn't explain it.

"It is indeed a feasible method. But how do you plan to ensure that he will not betray the Tarot Society? Use your ability?"

Alger pondered for a while, then asked Audrey.

"Before he was promoted to a witch, he didn't know us at all. After the promotion, I will carefully reveal Mr. Fool's honorable name to him. It's the same as the magician and the judge."

Fors and Xio were shocked.

Although Miss Audrey had introduced the two of them to Mister Fool before, this was the first time she made a similar suggestion after Mr. Fool fell asleep.

As Mr. Fool fell asleep for nearly half a year, the members of the Tarot Society discovered that some things that originally required the consent of Mr. Fool to operate could be realized after the approval of the Tarot Society.Even so, it is indeed an unprecedented move to lure people into the Tarot Society without authorization.

"You plan to let him join the Tarot Society?" Emlyn couldn't help interjecting, "Will this be a little risky?"

Wouldn't it lower my status as the savior of the blood race to recruit newcomers so casually?Mr. Vampire thought to himself.

Audrey's expression gradually became serious:

"I know. Even though I have been reviewing and making arrangements for a year, I still don't think that all risks have been ruled out. However, when facing that prophecy, we must go all out. The Witch Sect and the Red Priests are already It is about to move, and the hidden sage also wants to make some big moves. For this, we also need to absorb some fresh blood."

"This might be taken as an offense to him." Cattleya worriedly dissuaded, "It's better to let him join the outlying organizations of the Tarot Society, such as the Sea God Church..."

"Then let him infiltrate the Witch Sect? Then why don't I just let Danitz infiltrate?"

Audrey sneered, "Don't peep at God, let alone belittle it? This candidate is very likely to talk directly to the 'primordial witch' at the end, to get rid of the fog that the person is above the true God, what means can we do?" Hidden from the true God? Don’t forget, even though he is not recognized by the church, He is also a true God!”

"This is also accompanied by great risks." Leonard interjected, his expression at this time was no longer the previous sloppy look, but he was sternly looking directly at "Justice" across the long table.

"So, I want to ask for your opinions. Mister 'World' is already asleep, and our Tarot Society needs new possibilities."

Audrey looked directly at Leonard, and there was something shining in her eyes, like a bright fire.

"For this possibility, I am willing to take this risk."

She raised her head high and looked around the Tarot Society, "Yes, this is something Mister Fool has never explicitly allowed. However, the doomsday we face, the tasks we have, the expectations we carry, the expectations we have The future I look forward to, everything, is something that has never existed before."

"In order to strive for results that have never been achieved before, we need people to take risks. I believe that Mister Fool assigned his authority to us just for us to use it."

"If you guessed wrong..." Argel said in a low voice.However, before he could finish speaking, Audrey interrupted him.

"Then, all the consequences will be borne by me alone. This is my judgment, and I am willing to take this risk."

There was a suffocating silence.The gazes of Audrey and Alger collided on the gray fog, almost sparking.After a while, Alger looked away, and Audrey continued to speak:

"My words are finished, so let's vote now. I agree to observe Altaïr."

After finishing speaking, she raised her white and tender right hand, which seemed to be a thin but straight banner.

"Do you want to gamble on the future of the world?"

Emlyn seemed to be sarcasm but actually said admonishingly, "But it's not enough just to have Miss 'Justice' at the gaming table."

"Then add me."

The magician Forsi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stated, "There are now two."

"Three," Hugh Dilcha nodded, "In this way, my task of investigating the Witch Sect can also progress."

"I object to that," Cattleya, the "Queen of Stars" who was sitting next to Xio frowned, "I think his origin remains to be investigated."

"I also object." Alger Wilson pondered for a while, and finally gave Miss Justice a sorry look. "The witch's personality may undergo a huge change when she is promoted to Sequence 7. I'm not sure if the hint you gave will still work."

"I abstain." Derrick "The Sun" said, who has been silent all this time, "I think it's a good idea, but I don't know as much about this place as you, so I can't judge whether this person is reliable."

Next, the crucial vote was Leonard's turn.

The young Mr. Poet frowned in thought, as if he had turned into a statue.

Because the "world" is gone, new possibilities are needed... Leonard suddenly discovered that he thought that after He fell asleep, the most anxious person was himself, the only one who knew Klein's full identity, but now he realized that, In terms of determination, he was once again left behind.

Leonard suddenly felt a little hot on his face.

After a long time, he looked at Audrey: "Originally, I was a cautious person. But you are right, the world is gone, whether it is to find someone to take over his job or help him wake up, we really need fresh blood more. "

"Whether it's a gambling table or a battlefield, a true Loen gentleman should not let the ladies charge forward and just sit idly by."

Leonard pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "If you include me, the weight should be enough, right?"

As a result, four votes were in favor, three against, and one abstention.Above the gray fog, without Altaïr's knowledge, everyone in the Tarot Society passed the assessment proposal for Altaïr.

"Then, if he passes the final round of assessment," Audrey reached out and nodded at the empty seat on the long bronze table. "We may have one more companion."

I always feel that today's "justice" seems to be different from the past... Argel thought about it, and then he was shocked to find that "justice" and the "judgment" and "magician" who were drawn into the Tarot Club by her seemed to form a unity. small circle.

And now that Mr. Fool is sleeping, it seems that more people means the right to speak?Alger's mind suddenly drifted to other places, and he didn't recover until the end of the Tarot Society.
