Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 6 Joining the Tarot Club

After a moment's thought, Odysseus continued, "Mysterious and great being, although I do not wish to confront that powerful lady, may I ask for your protection when necessary?"

Before meeting Bernadette, Odysseus was reluctant to contact Klein or other members of the Tarot Club because it often meant trouble and danger.

But the situation is different now. Influenced by his career before crossing over, Odysseus likes to do some research, and necessary experiments still need to be carried out.

Although he tried his best to hide, his experimental subjects had now attracted the attention of some bigwigs or extraordinary organizations, which made his situation somewhat dangerous.

Now, the Church of Fools is nowhere to be found. In order to balance the crisis brought by the "Mysterious Queen", it has no choice but to temporarily rely on the "Fool".

Of course, Odysseus can actually choose to directly join the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, or join the "Dawn of the Elements".

But he knew very well that the God of Steam and Machinery had a questionable vision in choosing sides, and if he were to join the "Dawn of the Elements", it would be better for him to directly join the Tarot Club, which would guarantee him a future "guaranteed demigod".

The Fool behind the gray fog, upon hearing Odysseus's question, smiled peacefully: "Yes."

This was exactly what Klein was waiting for; it would allow him to take complete control.

Odysseus said in a normal way: "I will worship you and believe in you."

The Fool said, “I’m not short of believers. I prefer equal exchange.”

Following Klein's wishes, Odysseus continued, "What should I offer you as a sacrifice to receive your protection?"

In fact, he knew very well that sacrificing gold pounds would definitely please this "great mysterious being."

Klein considered it for a moment and performed a simple divination before saying, "There are a few people similar to you who I dragged into this place for other reasons.

"They hoped that I could hold regular gatherings to trade recipes, materials, information, and tasks, and I agreed.

"You can learn about my needs, or the needs of my followers, at the gathering."

This was actually a bit rash, since I hadn't had time to examine the stranger in front of me.

But Klein's spiritual sense told him that the stranger before him was different from Justice and the Hanged Man, and his situation was also somewhat different from that of the Sun or the Magician. It seemed more like he was "invited" by the space "above the gray fog."

He had a premonition that if he did not establish further contact, this stranger might appear outside the gate again tomorrow night, so it would be better to directly invite him to join the Tarot Club.

Klein was still confident in his control over "Above the Gray Mist." Although he didn't know why "Above the Gray Mist" would "invite" strangers, without his permission, the "invited" people would only appear outside those two mysterious doors.

So Klein did a simple divination and confirmed that inviting this stranger to join the Tarot Club was safe and would be beneficial, so he invited him to join.

Odysseus said: "It is my honor."

The Fool said, “Every Monday, at 3:00 PM, eliminate distractions.”

He added, "They decided to use the names of tarot cards as their code names. You can choose a code name for yourself too."

A set of tarot cards appeared in front of Odysseus, and he casually pulled out a card: "Hermit!"

Sure enough, Odysseus thought to himself: Now that Cattleya’s codename has been taken away, I wonder if she can still successfully join the Tarot Club?
The Fool announced, "Your code name is 'Hermit'. Please note the time of the gathering."

Then he added, "If you are in danger, you can pray to me."

Klein raised his hand and stuffed Odysseus back into the red star.

He did not leave immediately, but used the method of "dream divination" to find out why the "hermit" appeared outside "above the gray fog".

For Klein, this area "above the gray fog" is a relatively private space that belongs exclusively to him. No living creatures have ever appeared around this space before.

“The reason why the Hermit appears here.

"The reason why the Hermit appeared here...."

After silently reciting it seven times, Klein used meditation to fall asleep.

Soon, the illusory gray mist in front of his eyes immediately parted, and he reappeared on the second floor of the "Kingdom Museum", in the replica of Emperor Roselle's study.

Klein saw that after his spirit suddenly disappeared, the mysterious lady with a hood and whose appearance could not be seen disappeared as well.

Because of the isolation "above the gray fog," the mysterious lady couldn't possibly know the whereabouts of her spirit. Klein thought about their subsequent encounter and guessed that the lady was relying entirely on her spiritual sense to chase after him.

At this time, there was a hooded figure on the bookshelf. He stretched out his hand in the direction where the mysterious lady disappeared, as if to say: You left me behind!

At this moment, Klein saw a gray, illusory sphere suddenly appear where his spirit had disappeared. At the same time, the hooded figure on the bookshelf also changed. Behind him, a field composed of illusory light appeared. Deep in the field, there seemed to be a tall tower.

There seemed to be a powerful attraction between the tall tower and the gray sphere. In an instant, the sphere sank into the chest of the hooded figure, and the tall tower on the field of light became extremely bright...

puff~
Klein's head suddenly exploded like a rotten watermelon, and he forcibly exited the "Dream Divination" state.

Under the influence of the gray fog, it took more than half a minute before his head seemed to grow back. All the knowledge in his mind was boiling, and it took more than ten seconds to ease.

Then, some memories that were not there before appeared in Klein's mind: Sequence 9 "Secret Peeper":
"Main ingredients: a pair of Nasra Ancient Mountain Giant Ape eyeballs, 70 grams of star crystal.

"Supplementary materials: 80 ml of pure water, 8 drops of flaxseed flower juice, 7 grams of white orchid powder, and 9 grams of dragon's blood grass."

……

Sequence 9 "Generalist" Potion Recipe:
"Main ingredients: the head of a brown-backed firefly and a whole plant of five-color clover.

"Supplementary materials: ..."

……

Sequence 7 "Wizard" potion recipe:

"Main ingredients: the entire brain of a pale long-necked beast, and two fleabane fruits.

"Supplementary materials: ..."

……

Sequence 5 "Astrologer" promotion ceremony: Ride on the back of a colorful star-eyed beast and drink a potion under the midnight sky.

……

Klein quickly understood what he had learned from the "Field of Light": What was that illusory field? How could it cause such damage despite the spatial protection of "above the gray fog"?
This was something Klein had not expected. He had suffered similar injuries before, but that was when he took the initiative to commit suicide and divine the source of the drop of blood in the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem."

Thinking of the Hermit's reaction, he himself seemed unaware of his own peculiarities. Moreover, the Hermit was currently asking for help from him, and the power "Above the Gray Mist" could completely control the Hermit. Klein's concerns gradually subsided.

Then Klein sighed: The new member's identity is not simple, and it seems that he has many secrets.

Then he recalled the previous divination results: Maybe it is these secrets of the "hermit" that can bring me some benefits.

Thinking of this, Klein's lips curled up slightly: With the addition of the "Hermit", the Tarot Club has gained a bit more mystery.

……

Odysseus woke up from his secret base: "Klein put me in danger to pray to him, but he didn't tell me the Fool's honorific name! What's the point of praying without a honorific name?
