Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 7 Code Names

"You can call me, Fool."

The short answer quickly disappeared in the magnificent temple and the pervading fog, but in the hearts of Audrey and Alger, the voice reverberated for a long time, causing ripples in circles.

I didn't expect it, but I felt that it should be the name of this feeling, which perfectly reflects the image of mystery, power, and strangeness!

After a few seconds of silence, Audrey stood up, lifted her skirt, bent her knees, and bowed to Zhou Mingrui:

"Dear Mr. Fool, allow me to venture to ask, can you be a witness to our transaction?"

"It's a small matter." Zhou Mingrui's thoughts turned sharply, and he replied in a way that fit his identity.

"This is our honor, Mr. Fool." Alger also stood up, touching his chest with his right hand, and bowed in a salute.

Zhou Mingrui squeezed his right hand and said with a smile:

"You guys continue."

Alger nodded, sat down again, looked at Audrey and said:

"If you can get the ghost shark blood, find someone to send it to the 'Warrior and the Sea' bar on Pelican Street in the White Rose district of Pritzker Harbor and tell the owner Williams that this is what the 'Captain' wants."

"After I confirm, will you send the potion formula to my address, or let me tell you directly here?"

Audrey thought for a while, then smiled and said:

"I've opted for a more secretive approach, right here, although it's a test of my memory."

Since Mr. Fool has promised to witness the transaction, it means that there will be another similar "party" next time.

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head to the side, looked at Zhou Mingrui with shining eyes, and proposed with great interest:

"Mr. Fool, do you mind how many times this 'try' is made now?"

After Alger listened calmly, he was also heartbroken, and hurriedly echoed:

"Mr. Fool, don't you think this kind of 'gathering' is very interesting? Although your power exceeds our imagination, there are always areas in the world that you do not understand and are not good at. The opposite is obviously a noble lady, I With our own experience, knowledge, channels and resources, she and I may be able to help you accomplish trivial things that are inconvenient for you at some point in the future."

In his opinion, since he will be pulled in here without any defense and no resistance, it means that the initiative is in the hands of the mysterious Mr. Fool. It is not because he wants to refuse and no longer participate in the "party", then he will succeed. Therefore, it is better to dig deeper and better to dig the benefits of this encounter, and use the gains to make up for the passive and disadvantageous.

The three parties at the long table have different backgrounds, different resources, different news channels, and different mysterious fields of understanding. If they can communicate with each other and cooperate with each other in a limited way, it will produce wonderful effects that cannot be estimated and measured!

For example, in the resource exchange just decided, for example, if you want to kill someone, you can completely ask "party members" who have nothing to do with you in appearance and substance. This will make things be perfectly misled to another direction.

A lady of noble birth...my performance, is my accent so obvious? Audrey opened her mouth halfway and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly recovered and nodded without hesitation:

"Mr. Fool, I think this is a good proposal. As long as the 'gathering' becomes regular, if you are inconvenient to come forward, you can transfer it to us. Of course, it must be within our ability."

From just now, Zhou Mingrui has been weighing the pros and cons. More "gatherings" can indeed allow him to gain more knowledge of extraordinary mysteries and mysticism, which will help him to travel back in the future. For example, it should appear at the next "gathering". The "audience" of the potion formula, in the same way, can also get news for the current real life and get some help.

However, the more "gatherings" there are, the easier it is to expose one's own truth!

Sure enough, no matter which world, there is no such thing as only good things... Zhou Mingrui stretched out his right hand again,

Tap the edge of the long table with your fingers.

Considering that the convening and disbanding of the "party" is under his control, even if any problems are exposed, it is within the controllable range, and the benefits obviously outweigh the disadvantages, Zhou Mingrui made a quick decision.

His tapping action stopped, and he smiled in the face of the four anticipation and apprehension eyes:

"I'm a person who likes to exchange for equals."

"I won't let you help me unconditionally."

"Every Monday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, try to be alone. When I try a few more times and figure out some things, maybe you can ask for leave in advance, so you don't have to worry about being in an inappropriate situation."

Even if he agreed to the proposal of Alger and Audrey.

Audrey just turned seventeen years old and has always been cared for. The girl has a very strong heart. When she heard Mr. Fool's answer, she couldn't help clenching her fists and twitching it lightly on her chest.

"Then should we give ourselves a title? After all, we can't communicate by real names." Without waiting for Alger to speak, she said cheerfully with bright eyes.

Although my real situation may not be concealed from Mr. Fool, the guy on the other side is also a little dangerous, and I cannot let him know who I really am!

"Good idea." Zhou Mingrui answered briefly and easily.

Audrey immediately started thinking, and said while thinking:

"You are Mr. Fool, from the tarot card. As a regular, long-term, secret 'gathering', the title should be as consistent as possible. Well, I will also choose from the tarot card."

Her tone slowly turned pleasant:

"It's decided, my title is, 'Justice'!"

This is one of the twenty-two main cards of the Tarot.

"What about you, sir?" Audrey smiled and looked at the "companion" opposite.

Alger frowned slightly, then stretched out:

"The Hanged Man."

This is another main card.

"Okay, then we are the founding members of the Tarot Club!" Audrey blurted out happily, and then looked timidly at Zhou Mingrui, who was shrouded in gray mist, "Is it okay, Mr. Fool?"

Zhou Mingrui laughed and shook his head:

"You can make up your own mind about such trivial matters."

"Thank you!" Audrey was obviously excited.

Then, she looked at Alger again:

"Mr. Hanged Man, can you repeat the address just now? I'm afraid my memory is not deep enough."

"No problem." Alger was quite satisfied with Audrey's seriousness, and repeated the address again.

After meditating for three times, Audrey said again in high spirits:

"I heard that Tarot cards are just a game invented by Emperor Roselle, but they don't actually have the function of divination?"

"No, a lot of times, divination comes from oneself. Everyone has spirituality, and can relate to the spiritual world and to higher-level information related to themselves. It's just that ordinary people can't detect this, let alone interpret it. 'Tips' now, when they use the divination tools, the information will be presented with the help of the tools, the simplest example, dreams and dream interpretation." Alger glanced at Zhou Mingrui, and seeing that he did not say anything, he denied it. Audrey said, "Tarot cards actually belong to this kind of tool. It uses more symbols and more reasonable elements to help us interpret 'hints' more conveniently and accurately."

Zhou Mingrui seemed to be casual, but in fact he listened very seriously, but his mental emptiness began to become serious, and his head twitched and hurt.

"Understood." Audrey nodded in approval, and then emphasized, "That's not what I mean, I'm not questioning the tarot cards, I just heard that Emperor Roselle actually made another deck of cards, a hidden one. , there are twenty-two cards in total, which symbolize some unknown power. After completing it, he referred to this and invented the twenty-two main cards of the Tarot as a game tool. Is this statement accurate?"

She looked at Zhou Mingrui, as if she wanted to get an answer from the mysterious Mr. Fool.

Zhou Mingrui just smiled, but didn't open his mouth. He turned his attention to "The Hanged Man", as if he was taking a test on you.

Alger straightened his back subconsciously, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, it is said that Emperor Roselle has seen the Blasphemy Slate, and that deck of cards hides the mystery of the twenty-two paths of God."

"Twenty-two ways of God..." Audrey repeated in a yearning tone.

At this time, Zhou Mingrui's headache intensified, and he felt that the invisible connection between himself, the crimson stars and the gray-white mist began to shake.

"Okay, let's end today's party here." He immediately decided and said in a low voice.

"Follow your will." Alger bowed his head and saluted.

"Follow your will." Audrey imitated "The Hanged Man".

She still has a lot of questions and ideas, and she is completely reluctant to end it.

Zhou Mingrui cut off contact, smiled and said:

"Let's look forward to the next meeting."

The "stars" brightened again, and the crimson light shrank back like water. As soon as Audrey and Alger heard Mr. Fool's words, their figures became more blurred and illusory.

In less than a second, the "projection" shattered, and silence returned to the gray fog.

Zhou Mingrui felt that he was rapidly becoming heavier, and the surroundings were erratic. First, there was darkness in front of him, followed by bright sunshine.

He was still in the apartment room, still standing in the center.

"It's like a dream... What the hell is the world of gray fog... Who or what kind of power created the changes just now..." Zhou Mingrui sighed in a low voice, UU reading www.uukanshu. Confused, com walked to the desk as if his legs were filled with lead.

He picked up the pocket watch he had left outside and checked how much time had passed.

"One to one time flow rate." Zhou Mingrui roughly judged.

Putting down his pocket watch, he couldn't hold it any longer with his head throbbing, sitting on a chair, bowing his head, and using his left thumb and middle finger to massage his temples on both sides.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said in Chinese:

"It seems that I won't be able to go back in a short time..."

Only the ignorant can be fearless. After seeing such miraculous things and knowing the extraordinary realm and the mysterious world, Zhou Mingrui would not dare to recklessly try the "transportation ceremony" in ancient Feysac and Ruen!

The ghost knows if there will be another situation, maybe it will be more bizarre, more terrifying, and even make life worse than death!

"At least you have to have a deep grasp of mysticism before you can try it." Zhou Mingrui thought helplessly.

Fortunately, the so-called "party" can help itself.

There was another silence, and he said to himself with emotions such as depression, loss, pain, and melancholy:

"From now on, I'm Klein."

...

Klein tried his best to turn his thoughts back to the method and plan to relieve the negative emotions in his heart.

I might be able to hear the recipe for the "spectator" potion next week...

The "gathering" just now was really amazing. People in different parts of the world turned thousands of miles into close proximity, communicated face-to-face, and exchanged information. Uh, this sounds a bit familiar...

Klein was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into laughter, and while pressing his hand on his temple, he laughed at himself in a low voice:

"Look at the online dating platform?"
