Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 61 Weird Symbols

"The fool who does not belong to this era... the mysterious ruler above the gray fog... the king of yellow and black who controls good fortune..." Audrey Holmer read these three descriptions, and a gust of wind suddenly surged in her heart. , can no longer maintain the "spectator" status.

As a lover of mysticism, before she was pulled into this gray fog, although she did not formally come into contact with extraordinary powers, when she had private gatherings with fellow nobles, she would still exchange information that they had in their hands that they did not know whether it was true or false, and would learn The Hermes text used for sacrifices will try some of the rituals that others say.

Those rituals did not produce any effect without exception, but they also gave Audrey a certain understanding of the formatted incantations.

So, she knew very well what the three-paragraph description said by the Fool represented in other rituals:

That means, that points to, seven gods who look down on the whole world!

It is almost equivalent to "Lord of Crimson, Mother of Secrets, Empress of Adversity and Fear"!

Mister Fool is the unknown, hidden, and powerful existence like a god that Grelint and the others mentioned? Is it a source of danger that must be carefully avoided in the ceremony? Audrey quickly recalled the sighs of her friends when they wanted to try but were afraid to try some weird rituals, and she was speechless for a while.

Alger Wilson, who knew more and knew more than her, trembled from the bottom of his heart:

"If the ritual magic designed by The Fool can really point to him and let him receive our request, then he must be used as a honorific title, using this third-person honorific term to describe gods and similar existences..."

"It's really lucky, it's wise enough, I've always been cooperative, I didn't do some stupid things, even if I tried it, it was within the normal range..."

"He may be some ancient, secretive, and terrifying existence, but he didn't use his original appearance and real name to appear before us... The original witch, the hidden sage, or the common belief of several mysterious sects The true creator?"

Alger understands that the Fool he sees is not necessarily his real image, and the other person may not even have gender or be a humanoid.

Klein held his forehead with one hand and tapped the edge of the long bronze table with the other, keenly aware of the changes in "The Hanged Man" and "Justice".

But he pretended that nothing happened, gave the state that everything was expected, and continued on his own:

"I beg your help."

"I pray for your favor."

"I beg you to let me have a good dream."

"Deep Sleeping Flower, the herb belonging to the red moon, please pass the power to my spell."

"Golden mangosteen, the herb belonging to the sun, please pass on the power to my spell."

...

After describing the incantations of another format sentence by sentence, he finally smiled and said:

"Miss, sir, remember?"

"Ah..." Audrey snorted softly, quickly covering her mouth, and began to think seriously.

Relying on the "audience"'s strong memory, she quickly completed the recording and repeated it for confirmation.

Alger acted much more normal than her, no matter what he thought, the pen in his hand never stopped.

After Klein affirmed Audrey's record, he smiled slightly and said:

"If this attempt is successful, we can modify the incantation a little next time to achieve what we want."

"No later than Wednesday, I hope you can find time to complete this ceremony."

He intends to enter here again Thursday night to see if the ritual magic is working.

——The reason why "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" were not allowed to directly pray for "absence" was because Klein was worried that it would be impossible to tell whether they really wanted to "take a leave of absence" or the result of trying ritual magic. Do not pull it?

"Follow your will." Audrey and Alger restrained their emotions and replied respectfully.

"As the Hanged Man proposed last time,

After the business is the small talk phase, who starts first? " Klein gestured please.

Audrey pondered for a while and said:

"Mr. Fool, the proposal you gave last time for examination screening and separation of affairs and government affairs has been approved by many members. Perhaps, it may become a reality. Of course, with the efficiency of the Royal Government, the plan will take half a year at the earliest. only possible.”

She is not worried that "The Hanged Man" will find out her identity based on this matter, because she just casually led a few sentences, and let the proud ladies think that their outstanding minds played a role, Make them eager to show off to their husbands, their fathers, their brothers.

At that moment, Audrey felt that she had seen a golden peacock that only opened its screen.

She believed that the ladies would constantly suggest to themselves, take the honor of the matter to themselves, completely forget their role, and argue with each other over who brought it up first.

And using this ingenious way to change the situation in the kingdom gave Audrey a strange sense of accomplishment, as if she had found a way for the "audience" to also affect the plot of the drama.

"I hope so." The Hanged Man Alger replied sarcastically.

He paused for a few seconds, glanced at The Fool at the head of the long bronze table, and said with consideration for the language:

"In recent decades, the number of activities of various secret organizations has increased, and there have even been several new, large-scale organizations with certain extraordinary powers."

Are you trying to find out why from me? I haven't even started to contact the information about the "illegal organization"... Klein just smiled, without commenting on the news of "The Hanged Man", and instead said ambiguously

"Some ancient powers are awakening."

Such as the power represented by the Antigonus family notes...

"Really..." Alger whispered to himself, as if thinking of something.

Klein glanced at The Hanged Man and Justice, and said with a smile:

"If there's nothing else to share, let's go here for today's party."

"Follow your will." Audrey and Alger got up at the same time.

Klein slid his fingers and broke the connection with the crimson stars, watching the two figures disappear into the towering hall.

He stood up, turned to his high-back chair, behind the top seat of the long bronze table, and looked at the constellation symbols there.

The dazzling stars hooked up a strange symbol, a symbol that was not within the scope of Klein's current esoteric knowledge.

He carefully identified it for a while, and saw the "eye without pupil" symbolizing the secret and the "twisted line" symbolizing change. Both of them were missing a part and overlapped each other, forming a new symbol. .

"Incomplete secrets, incomplete changes... What does it mean when they add up?" Klein frowned and whispered, temporarily unable to think of an answer.

He withdrew his gaze and walked around the magnificent and ancient temple without missing any corner.

"I just thought about it so casually, I only gave a rough idea, and I didn't describe the shape of the palace, the long table, and the chairs in detail... So what did they look like? The optimal choice? The initial template? Or Reality mapping?" Klein looked at it, and suddenly thought of a question he had overlooked before.

Hey, I have to say that as a keyboard expert, I am indeed inexperienced and not sharp enough in many things, so that I know it later... With such a self-examination, Klein was above the gray fog and around the temple. The area was carefully inspected, but no other creatures were found, and no other strange things were found.

As for the farther, seemingly endless illusory place, he did not dare to go deep for the time being, for fear of being completely lost there.

"Hey, this place is really full of mystery... When I get stronger, I don't know if there will be new changes..." Klein sighed, unfolded his spirituality, wrapped himself, and simulated the feeling of falling rapidly.

Everything passed quickly, all kinds of phantoms shattered, he penetrated the gray and white fog, saw the real world, and saw the desk, curtains and coat rack in his bedroom.

…………

Backlund, Queens.

Audrey saw the oil painting hanging on the wall and felt the softness of the velvet pillow.

She didn't get up immediately, but seriously reminisced about today's party, as if watching a re-enactment of the drama.

"Mr. Fool said that when he tried that ritual, when he gave descriptive incantations such as the Lord of Mysteries and the King of Yellow and Black, his tone was confident...confidence..." Audrey, who was silently analyzing, suddenly took a breath , the body trembled.

Forget it, since you can't fight, then don't think about it... Mister Fool has always been very kind, it should be a lawful existence... Audrey's mood quickly improved, thinking about her role, thinking about potions The backlash is weak.

She hummed a brisk melody, left the big bed, walked towards the door, and took the initiative to adjust her state to become an "audience".

Opening the door, she saw the maid who was passing by, the calluses on her hand, the sunburn on her face, and many similar details, which allowed her to speculate a lot of things.

At this moment, Audrey suddenly felt a sense, and hurriedly turned to look at the dark corner away from the balcony.

She saw Susie, the golden retriever, squatting there, quietly observing herself, just like observing the maid by herself.

Goddess... Audrey twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to cover her face, and sighed.

…………

The heavily protected captain's room on the Sonia Sea.

Alger woke up and found that nothing had changed around him, as if nothing had happened.

He sighed and said to himself in his heart:

"An ancient being?"

…………

Klein, who had left the ceremony, opened the curtains, took out his notebook, and started writing again.

He recalled the contents of Emperor Roselle's several diaries, and through such records, he strengthened his impression, so as not to be forgotten in the future.

After writing, he read it over and over again, but in the end he tore up the silently written notes and burned them clean.

If I come here once a week, I should not forget the key points... However, as time goes by, the task will become more and more heavy... Unfortunately, there is no other good way for the time being, I have never learned cryptography... ... Klein restrained his thoughts, moved his lower cervical spine, and planned to go out to the divination club.

——“Diviners” have different standards in different people’s hearts, and no one can say that others must be wrong. Therefore, Klein doesn’t know what kind of “divine experts” best meet the needs of “magic medicine”. Correct through practice time and time again, to be sure!
