Chapter 435 The Fool's Asylum
Two thirty-two p.m.
Snapped.
Xifa closed his pocket watch, it was still early, he planned to find a place to test the two trap abilities, and test whether other abilities had improved. But before that, he had another plan.
I plan to pray to the gods to interfere with divination for me.
Slade is a member of the secret order, and now that he is dead, if there are his companions on the island, they must also be members of the secret order, and they must know divination.
Although Xifa was wearing the 'Embrace of the Night', he was worried that this item was not high enough to interfere with the divination of mid-sequence or even high-sequence Beyonders.
As for praying to the gods, Xifa only thought of two.
One is the Lord of Storms, and the other is the 'Fool'.
In the house, he first tried to pray to the former, but there was no accident and he did not get the slightest response.
Then he adjusted his state and chanted the honorable name of 'The Fool' in a low voice.
"A fool who does not belong to this era"
"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog"
"You are the Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."
"I want to pray to you and describe what happened to me today."
"On my way to visit a friend, I ran into members of the Order who were thinking about a treasure map of the Antigonus ruins. I got into a fight with one of them and terminated his life."
"I'm worried that other members will divination related information, and hope to get your help."
A moment later, a gray mist surged in front of Xifa's eyes, and the mist was boundless, flooding the room at once.
In this gray-white mist, an illusory yellow-brown parchment descended from the sky and fell in front of Xifa.
There is some knowledge recorded on it, knowledge about a certain ritual.
"Amazing, Klein looks like a god now." Xifa memorized the contents of the parchment, and then left the hotel.
He bought some materials needed for the ceremony in the small town, including candles, essential oils, hydrosols and herbal powders, which can be purchased in ordinary stores.
After returning to the hotel, he began to arrange the altar, lit the two candles that symbolized 'The Fool', and threw the materials into the fire one by one.
A moment later, the room was filled with a quiet and ethereal fragrance, and a faint illusory mist shrouded the altar. According to the content recorded in the 'parchment', Xifa adjusted his body and mind, entered meditation, and silently recited 'The Fool' over and over again. the corresponding name.
After a while, Xifa only felt himself floating in the mysterious ancient palace above the gray mist, and saw the 'fool' sitting high on the long table.
Then, he was in a daze, between dreaming and waking up, and saw the 'fool' stretching out his hand to him, and a light and shadow suddenly grew stronger, it turned out to be an angel with twelve pairs of wings behind him!
This lifelike, dark-winged angel is majestic and solemn, wrapping itself layer by layer with those pairs of black wings.
I don't know how long it took, Xifa 'woke up' from the half-dream and half-awake state, and saw that the candles on the altar were still burning silently, the surrounding mist had not yet dissipated, and the clear and ethereal fragrance was still lingering in his nose.
"Angel. What a wonderful experience." Sifa exhaled, and ended the ceremony.
Above the gray mist.
Klein still hadn't left, and he frowned slightly, watching the crimson star representing the 'chariot' gradually dim.
"'Chariot' actually met the Secret Order. I haven't encountered this organization since Tingen City. They are still pursuing things related to Antigonus."
"I hope 'Chariot' can share his experience at the next Tarot meeting, and I also want to know what the secret cult is planning."
With a wave of his hand, Klein wrapped himself in spirituality, simulating the feeling of falling, and disappeared above the gray mist.
evening.
Sifa walked back to town.
He tested the newly acquired abilities in the uninhabited mountains and forests in order to familiarize himself with them so that he could use them freely in battle.
In addition, after his tests, he found that the power of the skills in the 'arsonist' stage has increased by about 30%. The 'provoking' ability cannot be tested because there is no subject, but the physical fitness and fighting ability have been greatly improved.
It's a pity that he doesn't have an actual combat target, so he can't test the 'conspiracy' in mysticism, but he believes that he will not lack opportunities.
Back in the small town, he took a shower, then put on the winter coat he bought at the town store, wrapped himself up tightly, and then left the hotel.
Through the introduction of the hotel owner, Xifa came to a popular restaurant in the town.
There is a pattern of a hatchet on the signboard of the "Tomahawk Restaurant". From this, Xifa thought of the "Tomahawk Steak" that he had heard of in his previous life but had no chance to try, so he couldn't help looking forward to this restaurant.
Unfortunately, when the waiter delivered the menu, he found that the restaurant did not have a steak dish, let alone 'Tomahawk Steak'.
Finally, under the recommendation of the waiter, Xifa ordered a boiled cod, a crispy roast pork, a beef stew with potatoes and three skewered pork balls.
The staple food is the town's special bread 'Gran Crisp', and the drink is 'Earl Gray Beer'.
While waiting for the food to be served, Xifa looked around, but found no suspicious person, except that the Fusac man was drinking and talking loudly, and the two Fusac beauties cast hinting glances at him from time to time.
"It's so big and so tall." Xifa gave them a polite smile and made a conclusion.
"Mr. Raleigh." A familiar voice sounded.
Seefa raised his head and saw the shy watchmaker Harry walking in, and said with surprise, "What a coincidence, you're dining here too?"
Xifa nodded and thought to himself, don't you know how to cook at home? Look at Klein, how hardworking he is at home
"Mr. Raleigh, I have good news for you."
"I have already contacted Mr. Craftsman. He was not interested in it at first, but when he heard about the 'demonic' characteristics, he shouted that it was very challenging, and asked me to make an appointment with you to meet him in his workshop tomorrow afternoon. "
Harry grabbed his brown hair: "I was wondering where to find you, it's great to meet you here."
Xifa smiled and said, "Tomorrow? Okay, I'll remember. Besides, I'm staying at the 'Amber House' hotel. If you need anything, you can find me there."
"I will live there recently. If I'm not here, you can leave a message to the boss."
"OK."
Xifa originally wanted to invite the watchmaker to have a meal together, but the shy young man declined. He sat at a table in the corner by himself, and said to the waiter, "Same as usual". It seems that he is still a regular customer here.
After enjoying the delicacies of Gran Township, Xifa followed the address and found the small 'Red Moon' shop located in the depths of 'Flint Lane' on the east side of the town.
Before Xifa stepped forward, he saw two suspicious figures near the small shop. They were standing by the wall of the alley chatting, but their eyes were always looking into the small shop, as if they were observing or monitoring something.
PS: Thanks to 'Polkin' for the reward~
