Chapter 3144 The 1st Tarot Club
It's true, I actually found an animal trainer to do tarot readings.
Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but muttered a little bit after he got the Fool card from a free divination.
But this time, he originally went out to buy materials for the transshipment ceremony. He hoped that he could go back through this strange ceremony that led to his time travel. The ceremony required staple ingredients.
In total, he bought 1 pound of not-so-good lamb at the 'Lettuce and Meat' market for 7p. He also bought young peas, cabbage, onions, potatoes and other items, plus the previous bread, for a total of 25 copperpence. , that is, 2 soles and 1 penny.
"You can't help but spend money, poor Benson."
Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but sigh, after all, the money was earned by his brother who picked it up for nothing.
This is also his luck. With some disposable savings, he can buy materials directly without having to think about making money immediately, which is actually quite good.
Then he stopped thinking about it and hurried back home.
With the staple food, the transfer ceremony can be performed.
He took out four loaves of rye bread from the paper bag and placed one in the corner where the coal stove was originally placed, one on the inside of the bottom of the dressing mirror, one on the top of the cupboard where the two walls meet, and one on the right side of the desk among the piles of miscellaneous items. at.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mingrui came to the center of the room. He calmed down for a few minutes before taking serious steps and walking in a square direction counterclockwise.
Taking the first step, he chanted in a low voice:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord."
In the second step, he sincerely recited:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun."
In the third step, Zhou Mingrui held his breath and whispered:
"The God of Blessing and Prosperity Xuanhuang."
In the fourth step, he exhaled his turbid breath and said silently:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."
After returning to his position after walking, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and waited for the result. He was filled with expectations, uneasiness, hope, and fear.
Can you go back?
Will it be effective?
Will there be any unexpected situations?
The result was of course no surprise,
Zhou Mingrui's spiritual body, which was dropped by Source Castle, returned to the gray fog again!
The gray mist flows like water, dotted with crimson 'stars'. Some of them are large, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.
Each star seems to communicate a scene, which is hazy and cannot be seen clearly.
Looking at these holographic projection-like pictures in front of him, Zhou Mingrui also seemed a little confused, and seemed to subconsciously want to raise his hand to touch them.
The next moment, the star expanded rapidly, which startled Zhou Mingrui. In his panic, he accidentally touched another star.
As a result, his mind was empty and his spirit was distracted.
But it is the consumption and pressure that ordinary people put on themselves after using Source Castle. Now Zhou Mingrui's limit is that he can only bring two.
However, just as the two figures were about to appear, the figure in the third star scene also appeared in front of them, seemingly influenced by both parties.
Of course, Zhou Mingrui, who was in a panic at this time, was in a spiritual overdraft and was unable to notice these details. He lacked relevant extraordinary knowledge and had no relevant associations and no time to make them.
It is reasonable and natural to accidentally bump into one in a daze.
Xu Yue, Audrey Hall, and Alger Wilson also appeared in the Source Castle together. They were also hazy, and they could only roughly distinguish their body shape and hair color.
In front of the three of them, there is a 'mysterious man' whose painting style is completely different from theirs. His whole body is shrouded in gray mist. Our Mr. Fool who was just born today...
…
Seeing that he successfully entered this first Tarot Club, Xu Yue was not surprised.
As a Daoguo that doesn't care about logic and paradox, all Xu Yue needs is to let the high-ranking power ignore him first, so Zhou Mingruila people will not have any accidents because of the existence of one more star.
After Xu Yue sensed that he was affected, it was only natural that he misled him again and came directly.
If the top of the "error" sequence is to find loopholes and exploit them, then for Xu Yue, it is to artificially create loopholes and exploit them. He himself is the biggest BUG in the world.
And because of this, Xu Yue was able to prevent Zhou Mingrui from falling into coma because of the expense of one more person.
As for whether there will be problems in the future, there is a high probability that it will not happen. It is the first time that Source Castle is opened. Isn’t it normal to bring more people up?
Compared to this, Mr. Fool will probably be more scared after he sees Amon.
Even when the two sides have a chance to meet each other and hear Xu Yue's name, they will most likely know that they are comrades. In comparison, such a small problem is nothing at all.
"Sir, where is this?"
"what you up to?"
"Magical abilities."
Because Zhou Mingrui's painting style was different from others, naturally the three of them looked at him at the same time, each expressing their own doubts.
They all spoke Runeese, and there was no difficulty in communication.
Of course, among the Klein legacy abilities that Zhou Mingrui inherited, he already had the multilingual proficiency of a history university graduate. Even if there are other languages, he can still translate them through the Fool translator.
Where is this? What do I want to do? I also want to know. Zhou Mingrui calmed down and silently repeated the three people's questions.
What impressed him most was not the sentences composed of words or the meaning contained in the sentences, but the panic, vigilance, fear and awe they showed.
Inexplicably pulling others into this world of gray fog, even I, as the 'perpetrator', am extremely stunned and shocked, let alone them who are on the passive side.
In their opinion, this kind of thing and this kind of encounter may be beyond imagination.
Well, that’s not entirely true. One of them was relatively calm. He commented that it’s better to be amazed than to be afraid of the ‘magical ability’, so this person should have some understanding of this mysterious power.
Or have some understanding of the extraordinary world hidden secretly in this world.
But even so, after thinking briefly for a moment, Zhou Mingrui quickly made a decision.
Decided to tell a big lie.
Without any time to think or deliberate, Zhou Mingrui caught the thoughts that flashed through his mind and made a quick decision.
Take advantage of the other party's current psychological state and seize your own greatest advantage.
There was a brief silence above the gray fog for a few seconds. Zhou Mingrui chuckled softly, his tone was calm and his voice was low but not deep, as if he was responding to a polite greeting from a visitor:
"An attempt."
It has to be said that with the bonus of the Source Castle and Zhou Mingrui's stability, this level is still quite high.
Xu Yue asked himself, if he hadn't known the plot and excluded his ability to change positions with the other two, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the 'mysterious man' was actually trembling inside at this time.
An attempt...
Audrey Hall looked at the mysterious man shrouded in gray-white mist, and felt that things were absurd, funny, scary, and strange.
I was still in the bedroom, in front of the dressing table, when I turned around and came to this place full of gray fog.
How incredible this is.
Audrey took a breath, showed an impeccable polite smile, and asked rather uneasily:
"Sir, is the attempt over? Can we go back?"
Alger Wilson also wanted to do a similar test, but with rich experience, he was more calm, suppressed his impulse, and just watched silently.
Hearing this anxious and cautious tone, Zhou Mingrui suddenly had a realization. When he becomes stronger, or has a deeper understanding of this gray fog world, he may be able to truly see through the haze and see the appearance of the three people clearly.
In this incident, they are the guests and I am the host!
The girl with a sweet voice, the young man with a monocle, and the calm and restrained man are all quite unreal, stained slightly red, just like the projection of their three red stars on the gray fog.
(Because it is a projection, the monocle that was supposed to break after use was also projected. Like their clothes, Audrey likes to change into different clothes for meetings.)
And this projection is based on the connection between himself and Crimson, a connection that is invisible but can be truly grasped by himself.
Cut off this connection and the projection will dissipate and they can return!
Zhou Mingrui nodded invisibly, looked at the blond girl, and chuckled:
"Of course, if you formally propose, I can let you go back now."
Audrey, who couldn't hear any malice, breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that since the gentleman who could do such magical things had made a promise, he would strictly abide by it.
After she calmed down a little, she didn't rush to leave. Her blue eyes turned left and right, flashing a strange light.
She said anxiously, expectantly, and eagerly:
"It was such an amazing experience. Well, I've been looking forward to something like that. I mean, I love mystery, I love wonder beyond nature. No, my focus, I mean, Your Excellency, what do I do to become Extraordinary"
The more she talked, the more excited she became, and she was even a little incoherent with excitement. However, within a few words, she had forgotten her previous fear and panic.
Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, her nature is undoubtedly innocent and optimistic, and she seems to be able to bring joy to people anytime and anywhere.
Without any scheming, she was now fully responsible for the testing work for the other two 'guests'.
Good question, I want to know the answer too, Zhou Mingrui complained to himself.
He began to think about what kind of answer he should use to maintain his mysterious image.
At the same time, he felt that standing and talking like this seemed a bit low.
Just as Zhou Mingrui's thoughts flashed across his mind, the gray mist began to tumble and evolve.
Directly below the dome, surrounded by gray mist, there is a long bronze table with ten high-backed chairs on the left and right. The same seats are also placed in the front and back. The back of the chair is shining brightly, dark red and dark, outlining a scene that is inconsistent with reality. Corresponding strange constellations.
The basic deck of Tarot Club is thus formed.
This kind of power gave Alger, who calmly touched the table, a clear understanding. If this kind of existence really wanted to harm him, it would only take a thought.
Because he was born in the Church of Storms and was an official Beyonder, Alger also began to make an initial definition for Zhou Mingrui, similar to the existence of an evil god?
However, being targeted by this kind of existence, he has no choice but to accept his fate.
Since this was the case, he also began to try to actively integrate into it.
There was one host and three guests in front of him. It was obvious that the sweet-sounding blond girl was a rich lady who pursued excitement and adventure. It was not surprising that a young lady likes occultism.
But the other one has only said one sentence so far, that the figure wearing a monocle should be an extraordinary person. What impressed Alger the most about him was the first sentence he spoke, "magical ability".
Let alone ability, in terms of knowledge alone, I am afraid that the other party is above me.
Under this stimulation, Alger immediately took the initiative to answer Audrey's previous questions to show his value.
After all, this issue is considered a basic issue in the extraordinary world. Everyone except this girl knows it. There is nothing to hide, and it can also show one's goodwill.
"You are from Loen, right?
“If you want to become an extraordinary person, join the Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the Lord of Storms, or the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.
"Although the vast majority of people have never seen anything extraordinary in their lives, so much so that they suspect that the church is in the same situation. Even within several major churches, many clergy have similar thoughts, but I can tell you clearly that in the arbitration tribunal, in In the tribunal, in the execution mechanism, extraordinary people still exist, and they are still fighting against the dangers growing in the darkness, but the number is much smaller than in the early Black Iron Age or before..."
When Alger began to explain incessantly, Zhou Mingrui, who he considered to be the most competent person on the scene, was also pricking up his ears to listen.
He just traveled through time today. He just went out to buy groceries and knew about the extraordinary world of Hammer!
Audrey herself also knows something about the extraordinary world. The reason why she has not become an extraordinary yet is that she does not want to join the official extraordinary organization and be constrained. In addition, her parents love her and do not want her to become an extraordinary accompanied by madness.
The questions and answers she had with Alger could be regarded as a preliminary lesson for Zhou Mingrui.
Then Alger took out the two audience formulas in Sequence 9 that he had in his hand. Under the witness of the 'great being', he prepared to complete the transaction with Audrey and ask her to provide the formula materials he needed.
"one little thing."
Although Zhou Mingrui didn't know how to witness it, he didn't show any panic at all. Anyway, as long as both of them were afraid of him and sincere, the transaction would go smoothly.
At the same time, he has also figured out his title.
"You can call me...
"The Fool."
