Chapter 135 Chariot (for Subscription~)
Due to Sandy's matter, this morning, Xifa seemed a little absent-minded, and even lacked interest in social activities. After staying for more than an hour, he left the equestrian club.
After a brief lunch, he returned to the hotel, returned to his bedroom, and thought about it seriously.
Currently, as far as I know, members of the equestrian club, Maynard and McGovern cough up strange smoke when they cough.
But now, the club's auditor, Sandy, suddenly committed suicide. Does this mean that there are some unknown dangers lurking in the club.
It's just that I was on Sandy, and I didn't observe the phenomenon of coughing out smoke. Perhaps his death was a separate incident, not directly related to the abnormal conditions of the other two members.
But I've only met Sandy a few times, and it's possible he's having the same phenomenon without me knowing it.
If that's the case, then I'm in danger of going to the club too often. But if I don't show up, it will attract suspicion, and even detonate the danger?
Well, gotta look into the club, but I can't show up.
To Detective Robin?
Xifa walked out of the room and called Gru: "Go to Detective Robin and tell him that I have a new commission."
"Okay, sir." The bodyguard turned away and said in a low voice, "That's great, I can stop by and get an ice cream."
Feeling uneasy, Xifa subconsciously thought of prayer, and then thought of the bronze mirror and Klein.
He returned to the bedroom, took out the notes he bought at the Extraordinary gathering last time, and prayed in front of the bronze mirror as usual. Only this time, after praying, he took the note and said deliberately: "I finally bought Emperor Roselle's note, but what do these symbols mean?"
After finishing speaking, Xifa didn't expect much and wanted to put the notes away. Suddenly, crimson bloomed in front of his eyes, and the light came from the bronze mirror, drowning him all at once.
When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in a majestic palace, the dome was supported by huge stone pillars. In the palace, there was endless gray-white mist everywhere, and they seemed to be nothingness and nothingness. Ethereal, there is a sense of unreality.
Just in these fogs, there are crimson light spots one by one, like stars.
In front of Xifa, there was a mottled bronze long table, which seemed to have passed through endless years, exuding an ancient atmosphere.
On the opposite side of the long table, Xifa suddenly saw a figure shrouded in thick gray mist. Seeing this shadow unexpectedly, even though he was prepared, Xifa was still startled, and said from the bottom of his heart: "You, are you ?”
"Are you a god?"
Seeing the figure behind the thick fog, he responded in a leisurely and relaxed tone: "I'm not a god, I'm just a fool who likes equal exchange. If you can get something of value, you can get it from me. Or get what you want from other people like you."
It really was Klein!
This is the palace above the gray mist, my God, it's like a dream that I can come here.
Xifa didn't restrain his joy and excitement, but also showed vigilance, so as not to let the fool on the opposite side notice that he seemed to know what he looked like above the gray fog.
"Then, what kind of things can be considered valuable in your eyes? By the way, I recently obtained a few pages of Emperor Roselle's notes. Are you interested in them?"
The figure behind the dense gray fog did not respond immediately, but said: "Don't worry about this, as I said just now, I like equivalent exchange. I gave you the opportunity to have unlimited possibilities, and you have to pay the corresponding price. "
Xifa asked with a guilty conscience: "I don't know what you want?"
"I want to know the reason for your prayer. Judging from the language you use, you should be from Loen. Judging from your clothes, you have a certain social status."
"A Loenian with a certain status, if he needs to pray and ask for the blessing of the gods, shouldn't it be more appropriate to pray to those few people?"
coming!
Sure enough, as the watcher said, Klein would ask me why.
"As you can see, I am a Loenian. To be precise, I am the adopted son of the baron. I am a Extraordinary, a Sequence 8 provocateur. I was raised as the 'shield' of that family."
"Not long ago, I experienced an incident where the evil god descended. Although the incident seemed to be resolved, I was worried that I would be watched by the evil god."
"I have prayed to those orthodox gods, but I have never received enlightenment. Recently, I feel that a crisis is approaching me, and I am eager to become stronger to deal with the possible danger."
"I bought a bronze mirror with a long history from a friend. It is said that it was an item from the Solomon Empire."
"At the same time, I was told that these items can sometimes establish a connection with the ancient gods. I tried to pray to the bronze mirror many times, but I didn't get a response."
"I didn't expect much today, but I didn't expect that I would be able to come to such a magical and incredible place."
Xifa basically described his experience and mood truthfully, and even did not hide the matter of the bronze mirror. He didn't lie, he just didn't go into detail enough.
The figure in the thick fog was silent, and seemed to be tapping the long table with his fingers, which made Xifa feel guilty for a while.
After a while, Xifa heard a flat voice from across the long table: "In the next two days, I will pull you here at any time, and you should try to avoid staying with other people."
Xifa finally let go of his heart and seemed to have passed the initial inspection. He calmed down and replied calmly: "Follow your wishes."
"Um."
The figure in the thick fog let out a chuckle: "Before that, you need to confirm your code name."
At this moment, a set of Tarot cards appeared on the surface of the long bronze table.
I know this!
Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man are some kind of code names.
Xifa walked over and heard the person on the opposite side of the long table say: "Choose one of the cards. However, the Fool, Justice, Hanged Man and the sun are excluded."
"OK."
Xifa flipped through these tarot cards, and suddenly saw a card depicting an ancient chariot. He thought that the hunter, or the way of the red priest, was related to war.
So he picked up the chariot card: "I choose it."
"Chariot!"
"Remember your choice, it will run through your life." In the dense gray fog, the figure raised his hand and stretched forward.
Xifa's eyes lit up crimson again, and when the light dissipated, he saw his bedroom and saw the bronze mirror on the wall, click, click, the mirror completely shattered, turning into pieces of illusory light and disappearing into the air.
Then, the back of his palm lit up crimson, and the light rotated inward, forming a circle with radiating lines. This strange symbol quickly sank into the back of his hand and disappeared completely.
Everything is like a dream.
After a while, Xifa breathed a sigh of relief, and silently said in his heart: I finally joined the Tarot Society!
