Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 216 New Member "Moon"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" Audrey of Justice greeted in a crisp voice.

She also discovered the new member, but she had something more important she wanted the other members to know. After greeting them, she said to Mr. Fool, "You've saved Backlund once again."

Magician Fors and new member Moon Emlyn were both stunned, thinking to themselves: When was I saved again?

The other members were also stunned. Because the so-called "big smog incident" had not occurred, on the surface, Backlund had been calm last week, and ordinary Beyonders were unaware of the plans of the "Witch Church" and the "Aurora Society."

Only Alger, the "Hanged Man," heard that the official Beyonder in Backlund had once again thwarted the evil organization's conspiracy.

But he wasn't very clear about the specifics, because by the time the Archbishop of the Church of the Storm in Backlund arrived at the scene, the Mechanical Heart had already mostly cleaned up the traces at the scene.

In fact, even Klein, the Fool, who was sitting at the top, didn't quite understand what was going on. He had clearly heard the "Lady of Despair" say that they were going to the East District to provide enough lives for the Aurora Society.

After he escaped danger, he asked around and found out that nothing seemed to have happened in the east district except that the wind was a little strong.

Klein was thinking of taking advantage of today's Tarot meeting to ask the well-informed "Hermit" what was going on.

But he still had to pretend when it was time to do so, and he smiled and replied, "I only provided a little insignificant help."

"No, your follower truly saved Backlund," Audrey said sincerely, "His reminder allowed the Church of the Evernight Goddess to prepare and prevent the awakening of the 'Original Witch' in time.

"Furthermore, he directly disrupted the Aurora Society's ritual, once again blocking the 'True Creator' who was attempting to descend through it from the real world."

Because Audrey also played the role of transmitting information in this matter, she learned a lot of inside information from the Nighthawks from her parents.

She added, "There was also a gentleman and a demigod who stopped the 'Lady of Despair' in the East District and blew away the thick fog created by the 'Witch of Despair', saving many lives."

Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, thought to himself, "So this is actually the case."

He really wanted to ask who that gentleman and demigod was, but now was obviously not the right time to discuss that.

Emlyn, attending the meeting for the first time, nearly jumped up. "Is the Primordial Witch awakening? Is the True Creator attempting to descend? Mother Goddess... No, by the Moon, this lady is a liar, isn't she?"
Alger secretly sighed: This event is worthy of Mr. Fool's attention, but what benefit can he gain from destroying the evil gods' plans?
The hall was quiet for a moment before Fors, seemingly awakened, said, "Dear Mr. Fool, I received three pages of Russell's diary last week."

Klein nodded slightly and said, "Very good."

The more members and channels there are, the faster things will grow like a snowball.

Emlyn thought he had heard something incredible: Russell's diary? Could it be those notes?

It was only then that Klein remembered that he had forgotten a certain vampire. He smiled and introduced him, "This is the new member, Mr. Moon."

As the Fool began to read the notes, the new members and the original members looked at each other.

Audrey nodded politely, thinking to herself, "Mr. Moon? I thought a woman would choose the Moon card."

Alger, the "Hanged Man," carefully observed the other party's clothing and guessed that "Moon" was from Loen.

Magician Fors had a similar guess, and even speculated that the man must be living in Backlund, because the collar pin on his shirt was a popular style in Backlund last year.

"The Sun" Derrick didn't care much about these things. He was thinking about thanking Mr. "The Hermit" later.

"Hermit" Odysseus also pretended to observe, but he still knew this new member. However, because there had been no "business" dealings before, Odysseus did not establish contact with him in advance.

Similarly, Emlyn was also wondering what paths the other members had taken, what sequence they were in, which organization they belonged to, and whether they were friendly to the vampires.

His observation ability was average, and he could only tell that "Justice" and "Magician" were from Loen. He couldn't make out the detailed information about the other members.

A few minutes later, Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, leaned back in his chair and smiled at everyone, saying, "You may begin."

Audrey immediately looked at Little Sun: "Have you escaped the cycle?"

Derrick nodded earnestly, then said sincerely to the Hermit beside him, "Mr. Hermit, thank you for the information you provided. According to our chief's investigation, it is indeed the residual power of the Angel of Destiny that caused the cycle."

Emlyn the Moon seemed to be listening quietly to their conversation, but he was actually completely bewildered. What was "Angel of Destiny"? What was "breaking the cycle"? Why could he understand each word individually, but not the whole thing?

Odysseus smiled and said, "As members of the Tarot Club, we should help each other."

At this time, Alger turned slightly, looked at the "sun" on his side and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Derrick didn't hide it: "During my sixth exploration, I carefully observed the murals in the temple, and sure enough, I saw murals of people coming from afar, making a pilgrimage to a certain place.

"This also aligns with the information provided by Mr. Hermit. During the Fourth Epoch, a large number of believers in the True Creator came to us from your world.

"Then we entered the room at the back of the temple..."

Hearing the term "True Creator," Emlyn fell into deep thought again: Why were all the issues raised by the members of this gathering either angels or evil gods? Were they all demigods? Was I the only one of "Mid-Sequence"?
When the other members heard the little boy say that he was from Enmat Port, they all realized that the "God-forsaken Land" was still connected to the North and South Continents in some way.

At the end, Derrick continued, "The Chief told me that my reminder reminded him of some records in ancient books.

"It says that when the 'Lord of All Creation, the Almighty and All-Knowing God' gazes upon the earth, he is surrounded by many angels, and the leaders of these angels are the eight 'Angel Kings.'"

At this point, he added, "This also aligns with the information previously released by Mr. Hermit."

This time, Emlyn revealed his complete confusion, as he had never heard of the "Angel King".

Audrey noticed the new member's embarrassment, so she smiled and reminded him, "Mr. Moon, the information about the Angel King is important intelligence from the Third Epoch, and it all comes from Mr. Hermit.

"If you want to know more, you can make a deal with Mr. Hermit."

Emlyn let out a breath and smiled, "Thank you for your reminder." He thought to himself: What a beautiful and kind lady.

Emlyn then said to the Hermit beside him, "Mr. Hermit, what is the price I should pay for the information regarding the Angel King?"

Odysseus pondered for a moment before saying, “For the information that has not been traded, you can follow everyone else’s transactions and trade together.

"As for the information that has been traded at the Tarot Club, the other members have already spent a total of 2400 pounds, but that was a joint investment by everyone.

"If you want to trade, I'll give you a discounted price of 600 pounds."

Emlyn was stunned for a moment before saying, "I...I'll think about it."

He didn't expect the price to be so high, and he thought that he didn't seem to need the information urgently, so he planned to wait until later.

"Little Sun"'s story ended and the transaction officially began.

Fors first said to The Hanged Man, "Mr. Hanged Man, I've got news on the eye of the Dragon's Eye Sea Eagle you need. 2200 pounds."

She repeated the same trick and added another 200 pounds herself.

But the Hanged Man was not Justice. He smiled and said, "Very good, but your price is too high. I have many channels that can get it cheaper. 1900 pounds is the highest price I can accept."

"No, 2000 pounds, that's the bottom line." Fors responded without hesitation.

Alger nodded immediately: "Deal!"

This... Fors was a little confused for a moment.

Emlyn, who was listening in, witnessed the conclusion of a deal. He thought for a moment and eagerly asked, "Everyone, does anyone know how vampires can improve their strength? Well, without relying on gifts from their elders."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a lot of eyes looking at him.

Odysseus thought to himself: "The three celestial idiots" are worthy of their reputation... Well, now they may be the "second idiot", because the "little sun" has matured a lot.

Fors's eyes lit up instantly when she looked at Moon: Vampire?
As a novelist, she undoubtedly has all kinds of beautiful or bizarre imaginations about vampires.

Audrey also re-examined the "Moon": Is this the legendary vampire?
Alger was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure. Every Tarot Club member was extraordinary. This Mr. "Moon" clearly represented the connections and channels of the vampire clan. Also, was he deliberately exposing himself right out of the gate?

Derrick couldn't help but glance sideways at the Moon: a vampire hiding in the depths of darkness, covered in pus and moving like the wind?
This is what vampires look like in the "God-forsaken Land".

The "world" hesitated for a second before giving a normal response. To be exact, it was Klein who hesitated for a second: this guy was just short of writing the word "vampire" on his forehead.

Emlyn, who was being stared at by so many people, was suddenly at a loss, but he also vaguely understood that he seemed to have asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.

But he was a bit unconvinced, thinking: What are you looking at me for? Can't I even have a vampire friend? Do I need to explain myself? ... No, what's wrong with being a vampire? I am a vampire, there's nothing wrong with admitting that! We vampires have a long history, a long life, and rich heritage. We are a noble race!

Thinking of this, Emlyn raised his chin and added proudly, "Yes, I am a pure vampire."

Odysseus, who was standing next to Emlyn, twitched his lips. "No one asked if you were a vampire! Also, why were you so guilty just now? Why are you so proud now?"
Fors asked curiously, "Mr. Moon, have you, the vampire race, imitated humans in establishing titles like Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron to correspond to powerful individuals of different levels and status?"

"No, you humans imitated us!" Emlyn sat up straight. "Even before the Cataclysm, as early as the Second Epoch, our vampire clan had already divided the ranks into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons.

"At that time, you humans were still under the rule of the Giant King's Court, so it was impossible for you to invent titles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Derrick, the "Sun" next to him, blurted out: "There is no such record in the history of our Silver City.

"The division of the blood clan was marked by the appearance of the 'blasphemous slate'. Before that, it was very vague and general, with only titles such as patriarchs of different families and leaders of different regions."

Emlyn responded with disdain, "The history of our blood race is written with long lives. It cannot be overturned by the random records of a small, ordinary Silver City."

Derrick said a little aggrievedly, "We in Silver City don't fabricate history!"

Audrey was doing her daily sample observations as a "mind reader" with great interest, and at the same time she thought to herself: If no one stops them, I think they will argue about this issue until the end of the party.

"In terms of titles, the vampires are indeed modeled after humans." Odysseus spoke at this time.

Emlyn immediately changed his target: "Sir, what evidence do you have?"

"There's a lot of evidence, but the most important piece of evidence is the 'blasphemous slate' that 'Sun' just mentioned." Odysseus looked at Emlyn, who looked like a rooster ready for battle, and asked:

"You should know what a 'blasphemous slate' is, right?"

"Of course I know." Emlyn said, "But what does that prove?"

"That proves that before the appearance of the 'Desecrated Slate', there was no concept of a potion system." Odysseus further explained: "At that time, people would directly devour their abilities to advance, and most of the time, they would devour abilities by leaps and bounds.

"That is to say, even if there were titles of nobility among the vampires at that time, it would have been very likely that a baron would be promoted directly to an earl, and there would have been no room for a stable hierarchy.

"Later, under the guidance of the 'Ancient Sun God,' humans began to use potions to advance, and vampires also began to use this safe method of advancement. This is when the concept of sequence emerged among vampires.

"It wasn't until the Fourth Epoch, when the Blood Moon Queen of the Blood Clan married Trunsoest and became the Empress of the Empire, that the leaders of the Blood Clan were granted titles such as dukes and earls, reappearing in people's view and returning to the center of the extraordinary stage.

"After that, the vampires continued the custom of distinguishing different levels by titles."

Emlyn opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.
