Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 48 Gift
In the garden carefully manicured by the gardener, a small white round table was placed. Two beautiful ladies sat at the table. In front of them was a beautiful white porcelain tea set shaped like a flower, and a three-tiered dessert stand was filled with various exquisite small cakes.

A large golden retriever lay on the grass, looking at the black cat hiding under the table, its tail wagging happily.

"Really?" Audrey's eyes widened slightly, and she leaned forward in surprise, saying, "A singing mirror?"

"Maybe it's true?" Eve took a sip of tea and said, "I just heard it."

Although Eve intended to develop Audrey into a member of the Rose Society, she had to proceed step by step. She did not reveal extraordinary knowledge to Audrey but told her many strange stories.

It can't be considered a story, after all, these things actually happened. The singing mirror is actually a special item of the Rose Society, shaped like a makeup mirror.

"The embodiment of disaster, the ruler of the mirror world, the symbol of joy and pain, I have moved to 2 Daffodil Street. By the way, I don't even know your address yet."

Klein's voice echoed in his ears.

They’re moving. As their elder sister, should I give them something?
While thinking about what gift to give, Eve told Audrey all kinds of magical things.

Audrey looked at him with her beautiful deep green eyes shining brightly, her face showing unconcealable curiosity and yearning. Before leaving, she reluctantly asked Eve if she could come again.

"Of course," Eve said with a smile, "Anytime is fine. You can also write to me at any time."

"That's great! Tomorrow, we... no," Audrey tugged at the hem of her skirt with one hand and said awkwardly, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do tomorrow. Is the day after tomorrow okay?"

"Of course," Eve said, smiling at the relieved Audrey.

After Eve left Queens with Ruirui in her arms, she took a public carriage to pick out a housewarming gift for Zhou Mingrui.

Public carriages were running fast and hurriedly on the street. When a newspaper boy saw a carriage stop by the roadside, he immediately rushed up to sell newspapers to the people in the carriage. Well-dressed gentlemen and ladies slowly got off the carriage.

The girl got off the carriage holding the black cat and walked past the shops.

Green plants?

Give me something practical.

Furniture? Four-piece suit? New clothes?

Eve looked at the shop, considering each one.

Furniture stores, clothing stores, department stores...

In the glass window of a department store, a box of beautifully packaged tarot cards lay quietly on a red silk pillow.

After Russell invented the Tarot cards, Tarot divination was popular in the Northern Continent for quite some time. Although it is not as popular as it was a hundred years ago, there are still many people who like to collect exquisite Tarot cards.

Eve touched her chin. Tarot cards can be used for divination, and after Klein is promoted to Sequence Eight, he can also use them as weapons.

It’s decided, it’s you, Tarot!

Eve found a deserted place and jumped into the mirror world. He had specially opened a storage room in the mirror world, which contained various items from the Second Age to the present.

Because there are so many things in the storage room, Eve made the storage room very large.

Every wall except the one with the door was lined with a large bookshelf. There were three bookshelves in total, holding books from the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Epochs respectively. The shelf holding books from the Third Epoch was the emptiest, its entire top shelf empty. The Fifth Epoch was the fullest, mostly containing Russell's works. Eve sorted the books by author, and Russell's books occupied the entire top three shelves of her bookshelf.

There were several boxes piled on the floor of the storage room. Each box had a note with the time written on it. Some even had names and items written on them, such as Ouroboros and Medici from the Second Age. Inside were their clothes, toys, bowls and other items from the Second Age, many of which were damaged.

The room was not tidy, or even messy, with many miscellaneous items scattered everywhere. There was also a broken mirror on the floor, which Eve had thrown in a few days ago. Perhaps decades or centuries later, it would be put away in a box by Eve and a note would be attached.

In fact, Eve had no original intention of building this storage room. However, as the people around her left one after another, and after spending years untouchable by ordinary people, she began to feel nostalgic and built this storage room at the end of the Second Age.

Eve has always had the habit of throwing things into the mirror world, and she always throws them in the same place, so she turned this place into a storage room, using her extraordinary abilities to block the erosion of time on these items, and sorting out the things thrown in and placing them in the storage room.

Many of the items from the Second Age in his collection were damaged, some because they were broken when they were thrown in, and some because of the erosion of time.

He doesn't deliberately think about what is commemorative and then put the items into the storage room to store them away. Instead, he throws all kinds of items in there at random, such as books, accessories, clothes, broken knives and forks... good and bad, precious and ordinary.

When He feels it is time to tidy up, He will sort out the things thrown in and put them into the box.

Among the many boxes, Eve found a box with a note saying "Fifth Epoch Russell" on it.

As the youngest, Russell's box was placed on the ground with no other boxes on top of it.

Eve opened Russell's box and pulled out a smooth wooden box from the bottom. The girl opened the box, revealing a set of exquisite silver-plated tarot cards.

This was the first tarot deck Russell created, containing only twenty-two Major Arcana cards.

This set of tarot cards was made by Russell based on his own image. The male characters on the cards are all him, and the female characters are the little Bernadette.

It's actually a special item, crafted from the Sequence Four properties of the Sun Path. Infusing a Roselle card with spirituality grants a random, one-time Light Divine Spell, and each card can only be infused with spirituality once per day. Infusing a Bernadette card with spirituality grants a random amplification, lasting ten minutes. There's a chance of receiving the same amplification, but the effects and duration don't stack.

The negative effect at the beginning was so severe that the holder would feel the pain of being burned every moment. After becoming an angel, Russell transformed it and reduced the negative effect to only feeling hot when using it, which can be said to be very small.

It also has a strong anti-divination ability, which was added to it by Eve.

"Snapped!"

Eve closed the wooden box, somewhat hesitant. This could be considered an extremely powerful extraordinary item for Klein, but it was too powerful for Klein at the moment. Would it affect his growth?

He rubbed the wooden box with his fingertips, then opened it again, pulled out the Fool and the Queen from the Tarot deck, then closed the box and threw it back into the chest.

The 22 cards can be played around with but the 2 cards can only be used as hole cards.

Eve looked at the two silver-plated tarot cards in her hand and curled the corners of her lips.
