Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

"Do you crave power?"

The silver-haired young girl looked up at the man holding the heart, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and there was still a trace of fear and worry in her eyes.But as if inspired by his words, the young girl stretched out her hand tremblingly, tentatively reaching for Ember's palm, but dared not drop it.

Until Ember took the initiative to hold the girl's small white hand, and put the blood-red heart in her palm.

Olnia looked nervously at the heart that was bigger than a palm, about the size of an adult's fist, bright red, and slightly expanding and contracting. Nervously at a loss, she could only look at her aunt for help. .

But Aleka was obviously more helpless, she had never experienced such a thing, and she didn't know how to help Olnia.

Lilith puffed up her face, her tone was quite sour:

"Even if that's the case, there's no need to give her the blood essence, right? You can just hug her at the beginning of tomorrow, and she's just an ordinary person, so she can't absorb the blood essence of the vampire at all, so she will die right away?"

It is not that there were no human beings who tried to plunder the blood essence of the blood race before, but their ending has always been only one——

Because he couldn't bear the huge energy of the blood essence, he directly exploded and died. Occasionally, he mutated into a horrible monster like a pool of rotten meat.

"……will die?"

Aleka obviously became more flustered, and begged bitterly, "My lord, Olnia is still young, she doesn't understand anything, she doesn't want power, she just wants to live..."

"Auntie, I want strength."

The silver-haired young girl pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I don't want to be bullied again..."

Aleka's eyes dimmed. Although Olnia was the daughter of several 'Guardians', she failed to inherit the blood of the blood clan, so she could not enjoy the treatment as a child of the 'Guardians'.Only Master Carlos who inherits the bloodline is eligible to enjoy the treatment of heirs, and the children of other maids exist simply as reserve servants with red eyes.

Men will become blood servants of several adults in the future, and girls like Olnia will have the same fate as her aunt in the future, or even more tragic—Aleka once eavesdropped on the conversations of several guardians, They seem to think that combining with a red-eyed descendant like Olnia is more likely to give birth to an offspring with bloodlines...

Although because of her age, Olnia has not yet reached the most suitable age for childbearing and has not been murdered, but this day will always come.Although Olnia was still young and the guardians hadn't attacked her yet, children like them were only Master Carlos' servants in the castle, and they were often bullied by Master Carlos.

Even if the three guardians have been killed, the rulers will not just disappear, but will be changed.The two in front of me will become the new rulers if they want to, but they seem to be just passing by and won't stay for long.And when they leave, the new ruler will most likely be Mrs. Aisha's family.Olnia's future destiny may be to become the wife and concubine of Master Carlos.

Aleka could already foresee all this happening, but she couldn't do anything about it, because they didn't have the power to determine their own destiny.They don't even have the option to escape, because they don't know what human settlements are outside, and the most likely reason is that they died in the wild due to fatigue and hunger.

Even if they managed to escape to other human settlements, how much better would the situation be?The best result, I'm afraid it's just becoming a guardian's concubine and maid, right?

In contrast, if you can gain power, maybe everything will be different...

The confusion in Olnia's eyes dissipated a lot, and her eyes gradually became firm - it might be better if her body wasn't trembling so much.

Ember looked at the silver-haired young girl's deathly attitude, patted her on the head, and comforted her:

"Don't worry, I can't die, I have a measure."

Lilith's eyes also became a little complicated, and she hesitated:
"Do you really have a way for ordinary people to directly absorb the blood essence of the blood race?"

Ember pondered for two seconds, and said seriously:
"It's theoretically possible."

It is theoretically possible, but there is still a little practice missing.

So, isn't he here to practice?
Lilith had doubts in her eyes, she believed in Ember's strength, but she was not so confident in his 'theory'.
-
The weekly Tarot meeting is held on time.

The crimson light gushed out like water, drowning everything, and at the same time brought the members of the Tarot Club above the gray mist.

Audrey was about to get up to greet Mr. Fool, when she suddenly saw a strange figure, which was beside the magician 'Forsi'!

Another new member?or lady...

With some doubts and expectations, she discovered a problem, that is, women are on the left and men are on the right.

This should be Mr. Fool's intentional division. I don't know if there is a symbolic meaning in it... Well, the left side is a lady, and the right side is a man. The one who is neither left nor right is a god who cannot be defined by gender, Mr. Fool. Ah yes, and Mr. World... Hehe, isn't he male, female, or even human?Audrey, you're thinking too much, it's because Mr. World is a follower of The Fool, right...

Audrey stood up and saluted briskly:
"Good afternoon, Mister Fool."

Facing Miss Justice's pleasant greeting, the usual Klein should slightly raise his mouth and nod his head slightly as a response.But at this moment, he frowned slightly, because he suddenly discovered a problem——

Ember's position was empty, because he failed to find Ember's 'flame', and the other party was absent from the Tarot Club again...

It has nothing to do with me this time!
The corners of Klein's eyes twitched slightly. He was worried that other people would ask, and he didn't know how to explain it. However, he soon realized that Miss Justice didn't stop, and turned her eyes to the other side:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man."

This time, instead of following the order of the tarot cards, she followed the order of joining the club.

After such a round of greetings, Ms. 'Hermit' will know everyone, and there is no need for me, Mister 'Fool', to make another introduction... Ms. 'Justice' obviously did it on purpose. She really has a heart. People in the 'Audience' field As long as Extraordinary people are serious, they will be different in this respect... Klein was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood, and at the same time realized a problem.

Miss 'Justice' and Ember have always been inseparable. Since she is not in a hurry, it means that she should know where Ember is going, and he, the 'fool', should not need to explain it.

Cattleya the 'Hermit' glanced at all the members of the Tarot Society following the introduction of 'Justice', and the others were also quietly sizing up the new member, exploring what she showed in her body. detail.

But soon, the eyes of the 'hermit' suddenly paused——

She also found a pattern of women on the right and men on the left.

And the positions are also in the order of joining, one next to the other.

Starting with Mister Fool, all women on the left:
A girl suspected of being an upper-class nobleman of Loen who greeted her and introduced others to her, who was suspected of being a founding member and whose name was not yet known;
Not tall, majestic 'judgment';
A "magician" who is lazy and easily overlooked by others;
Finally, there is her newly added 'hermit';
And on the right is the male:
'The Hanged Man' who is suspected to be a member of the Church of the Storm;
Suspected underage, rare clothes, 'Sun' suitable for fighting;
Sitting casually, with black hair and red eyes, the 'Moon' wearing the priest's gown of the Mother Earth;
There is also a 'world' sitting at the end with a gloomy temperament and a robe with a hood, which does not look like a living person.

Their positions are obviously related to the order of joining the Tarot Club, but the problem is that there is a position between the 'Hanged Man' and the 'Sun' for some reason, which seems to be intentionally vacant.

Was there no one there, or did something happen to the owner of that place?
Cattleya leaned towards the second guess, the owner of that position may no longer be alive...

The 'Hermit' Cattleya retracted her gaze, and made eye contact with 'Justice' Audrey who was just looking over.

Sensing the other party's questioning intention, she nodded slightly and said:
"Hermit."

"justice."

Audrey responded with a slight smile, "Good afternoon, Ms. Hermit."

Miss 'Justice' finished her introductions one by one, paused for two seconds, and then said in deliberation:
"Sorry, Mister Fool, Mr. Lover may not be able to come to the Tarot Club in the past few weeks."

"You don't even participate in the 'Tarot Club' organized by the gods? What a pretension!"

'Moon' Emlyn White was taken aback, and complained in his heart.

'The Hermit' Cattleya's expression moved slightly, which was completely different from her guess.

This kind of meeting should be able to ask for leave in advance, but that also needs to ask Mister Fool for instructions in advance.But judging from Miss 'Justice''s reaction, it seems that Mr. 'Lover' who has never met before has not greeted Mr. 'Fool' in advance, otherwise there is no need for 'Justice' to convey it on his behalf.

But the reason why they appeared in this mysterious palace was not because they came here on their own initiative, but because they were "summoned" by Mister Fool.Does that Mister 'Lover' have some way to resist the 'call' of Mister 'Fool'?
That's a real god... No, maybe that's why!An existence who has the ability to resist the call of the gods is qualified to refuse to participate in the Tarot Club without even saying hello!Who is this Mr. Lover?

"I knew it……"

Klein sighed from the bottom of his heart, and disappeared without even saying hello. You made me feel very uncomfortable like this!
He was extremely curious about where Ember was now, but he was too embarrassed to ask.After all, he is the 'Fool', so the question of where the embers went should not be a trivial matter to him?
And Klein was even more curious, why didn't 'Justice' explain this to him in advance, but waited until the Tarot Society?

Klein's eyes flickered, he tapped the table with his fingers, and said with a chuckle:

"Miss Justice, are you in any trouble?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

Audrey nodded slightly and explained:
"In fact, I am currently walking with a demigod of the 'spectator' path. In order to avoid being discovered by her abnormally, I may not be able to take the initiative to pray to you in the recent period."

"Demi god?"

Everyone in the Tarot Society changed their colors slightly.

Although their 'organization' has a genuine god, the demigod is still out of reach for them!And now Miss Justice is walking with a demigod?What's happening here?
"Do you need help?" Fors the 'magician' asked hesitantly.

"No, not for now."

Audrey shook her head lightly and explained:
"She and the 'lover' are old acquaintances. They once entered the painting world of the Church of Steam together. She should have no malice towards me, and I will not be in danger."

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly. After all, he is a 'half-god'. Since Miss 'Justice' used the word 'should', it means that it is uncertain whether the other party has malicious intentions. She is still only a Sequence 7 Miss 'Justice'. How can you guarantee that you will not be in danger?

"Unless Miss Justice has a countermeasure..."

Klein thought of a possibility. The few 'dogs' that Ember rented to him had the strength of a mid-sequence Extraordinary, so how could it be possible not to leave some backup for Miss 'Justice'?A bodyguard who is at least at the level of a demigod is really extravagant! ... Klein was a little envious.

The 'Hanged Man' looked surprised, because he also guessed this possibility, after all, he had seen Ember summon the Silver Knights, and each of those Silver Knights was equivalent to a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, and Ember himself had With the record of hunting many demigods, it is not too strange to have a "summon" at the demigod level.

'The Sun' Derrick couldn't help asking:
"Miss 'Justice', has Mr. 'Lover' come to the Land Abandoned by God again?"

Audrey was a little hesitant, but looking at Derrick's eagerly expecting eyes, she still replied softly:
"Sorry, I don't know where he is either. The demigod who was with me entered the painting world with Ember a few days ago, and disappeared after that. But he seemed to have expected this to happen, Be back soon."

After a pause, Audrey continued:

"You may ask Mr. Fool about this question."

After all, when Ember disappeared last time, Mr. Fool was the only one who knew his whereabouts, and he was even able to observe Ember's location.Maybe it's the same this time?After all, Mister Fool is omnipotent, surely he knows everything, right?

"Don't look for me, how do I know where he is?"

The corners of Klein's eyes twitched, and Embers would disappear at every turn, he was also very upset!
Last time, he was able to divine his traces only by relying on the ring that Ember gave 'Justice', but who knows if it will work this time?If you think about it with your ass, you know that Ember's "disappearance" is definitely not just in space, otherwise his "flame" will not disappear—Klein can already vaguely guess that the thousands of crimson stars above the gray mist are actually Each person's 'projection' in the spirit world.

As long as he is still in this world, he will definitely leave a 'projection' in the spirit world, unless that person is not in this world at all...or in other words, not in the current world!
This is the case for Ember, his 'disappearance' not only involves 'space', but also 'time'.

He may be in the Second Epoch now, or in the Third Epoch, the Fourth Epoch, or even in the future... It's all possible, Klein can't make an accurate judgment at all, and there's a high probability that divination won't work Function, because of the lack of a medium, I don’t know if divination with the sacrificial ring is still possible...

and many more!

Klein was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something.
