Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 17: The Fool and the Justice's Views on the New Members

Hearing the "guess" of "Hermit" Odysseus, "The Fool" Klein almost laughed out loud: "Isn't the "sun" in the sky?"
Audrey, the "Justice" figure, was a bit amused and said, "I'm sorry, my description wasn't accurate enough."

Derrick the Sun had no choice but to say, "Mr. Hermit, I'm in the place you call the God-forsaken Land!"

The previous communication made him feel that the new member was a very easy-going and kind person, so he told the other party his position without reservation.

And for him, in the Tarot Club, this was not something that needed to be hidden.

Odysseus was so surprised that he almost stood up: "The Land Forsaken by the Gods! The legendary Land Forsaken by the Gods!"

He felt that he was not here to attend a party, but purely to act.

After showing enough surprise, Odysseus continued, "I understand."

Let’s end this topic quickly. My facial expression control is about to break down.

After the new member made an expression that said "I need to take a break", the topic really came to an end.

Next, "The World" had a private conversation with Derrick, and everyone began to communicate freely.

Audrey enthusiastically explained to the new members, "After the transaction, we usually share interesting stories or rumors we've heard.

“Perhaps something that seems ordinary to you may be extremely important news to others.”

Odysseus nodded: "Thank you for your explanation."

Then everyone began to chat freely. Alger, the "Hanged Man," talked about his experiences at sea, Audrey discussed the nobility, and Derrick also shared some of the daily life in the City of Silver.

Magician Fors talked about some rumors he had heard about Backlund's extraordinary world, and even the World discussed the topic of the "serial murder case."

There are new members joining this gathering, and logically speaking, topics like these that can reveal their approximate locations should not be discussed in this Tarot meeting.

However, Odysseus's reaction at this gathering did not make everyone feel any danger, so they did not avoid it and continued to speak freely.

When it was Odysseus' turn, in order to show his willingness to integrate into the party, he also shared three ways to deal with the daisy.

This is normal, herbal-oriented occult knowledge, and you can hear similar things at any occult gathering.

However, Odysseus was experienced and good at expressing himself, and he described the processing process of a common herb in a very interesting way.

Klein sighed after the gray fog: It feels a bit like watching "A Bite of China".

Audrey, who was very curious, asked, "Mr. Hermit, do these common herbs also contain spiritual properties?"

"Of course," Odysseus replied, "In my opinion, everything has a spirit; it's just a matter of how much."

Audrey nodded slowly. This was consistent with her previous knowledge of occultism. She then asked, "I heard that ordinary people also have spirituality?"

Odysseus hummed, "This is also the reason why many cultists, when they can't find a better sacrifice, will sacrifice ordinary people."

Fors suddenly thought of the mission The Hanged Man had received. "Could the disappearances we just discussed be the result of some evil, secretive organization conducting mass sacrifices?"

Odysseus shook his head slightly: "If it was done by cultists, the Church of the True God would definitely be aware of it."

Alger said, "That's also strange. With so many people missing, it's enough for those dangerous and crazy secret organizations to create multiple bloody large-scale sacrifices. There's no way the Church wouldn't have noticed."

The World also joined in on the conversation: "This only means that those missing persons cases are not, or not entirely, the work of an evil secret organization." Fors frowned: "Then who could it be? Or what organization is responsible for all this?"

Her question received no answer. Fors considered writing about this incident in her novel, but then she thought that it might anger the mastermind behind the incident, and then a mysterious person would come to her house in the middle of the night to collect the copper pennies from the gas meter, so she finally gave up the idea.

After exchanging a few more words, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Club.

……

Chorwood District, Minsk Street 15.

Klein, lying in bed, opened his eyes and gently rubbed his brows: If the Hermit has a magical item in his hand, I will buy it!

Too bad, it still needs maintenance...

Klein got up from the bed and sat on the edge. He thought again: As the convener of the Tarot Club, I don't even know whether the "Hermit" is the "Craftsman"!
Regardless of whether the other party is a "craftsman" or not, the "hermit" seems to have achieved very advanced research results in mysticism!
No wonder he was targeted by some big names in the extraordinary world.

Klein saw the risks, but also the convenience.

The risk is naturally that a tall tree attracts the wind. To help the "Hermit" deal with the prying eyes of those bigwigs, the "Fool" is currently only Sequence 7, and I don't know if it will be difficult.

The convenience is naturally that the Tarot Club has relevant channels for extraordinary weapons in the future, and the new members seem to be well-informed.

Klein took a deep breath and began to think about why the space "above the gray fog" would invite the "Hermit"?
……

In Queens, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Audrey woke up on a bed engraved with delicate deep sleep flowers, a smile on her lips: I didn't expect that there would be a new member joining today.

"You're finally awake." Susie, with her shiny fur, walked over quickly. "Annie came once and saw you were taking a nap, so she didn't disturb you."

Anne is Audrey's personal maid.

"Thank you for your protection, Susie." Audrey smiled and said, "As a reward..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly froze.

Susie asked, "What's wrong, Audrey? Are you out of cookies? I remember there were still two packs."

Normally, Audrey would reward him with a pack of dog biscuits at this time.

"No, I just suddenly remembered something else." Audrey looked a little serious.

She suddenly thought that the new member's movements were very unnatural, especially when talking about the little sun coming from the "God-forsaken Land". Although the "Hermit" showed surprise, his body movements were faster than the vague expression that could be seen. Such a reaction was very abnormal.

Audrey didn't take it too seriously at the time, but now that the party was over, she took a quick look back and realized that the new member's actions had been somewhat abnormal on several occasions. This was enough to show that many of the new member's reactions were not his direct inner reactions.

but……

The more Audrey thought about it, the more astonished she became: That's the "God-Forsaken Land"! Every Beyonder with some knowledge of the occult would be genuinely surprised upon hearing the name "God-Forsaken Land," marveling at the sophistication of the Tarot Club and praising Mr. Fool's power!

The new member is not as surprised as he looks. Could it be that he has been exposed to the "God-Forsaken Land" before joining the Tarot Club?
The more Audrey thought about it, the more mysterious the new member seemed.
