"Fools who do not belong to this era...... The Mysterious Domination of the Grey Mist...... Audrey Holmer, the ......king of yellow and black who is in charge of good fortune, read these three descriptions, and her heart suddenly stirred up a storm and waves, and she could no longer maintain the state of "spectator".

As a lover of the occult, before she was pulled into this gray fog, although she was not formally exposed to extraordinary powers, when she met privately with her fellow nobles, she would still exchange information that she had mastered, whether it was true or false, learn the Hermetic script for sacrifice, and try some rituals that others mouthed.

None of those rituals had any effect, but they gave Audrey some insight into formatted spells.

So, she knew exactly what the syllogism of the fool meant in other rituals:

That represents, that pointed, seven gods who looked down on the whole world!

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

Mr. Fool is the unknown, secretive, powerful godlike being that Glerlint had mentioned?a source of danger that must be carefully avoided in rituals?Audrey quickly recalled the exclamation of her friends when they wanted to try but did not dare to try some strange ritual, and was speechless for a moment.

Alger Wilson, who knew more than she knew better, shuddered from the bottom of his heart:

"If the ritual magic devised by the Fool can really be directed at him and allow him to receive our request, then he must be honorific, the third-person honorific for deities and similar beings......"

"I'm so lucky, I'm so wise, I've always been cooperative, I haven't done anything stupid, even if I'm tempting, it's within the normal range......"

"He may be some ancient, secretive, terrifying being, but he has not appeared before us in his original form and true name...... A primordial witch, a hidden sage, or the true creator of several mystical sects?"

Alger understands that the fool he sees now is not necessarily his true image, and that the other person is not even gendered, not necessarily humanoid.

With one hand on his forehead and the other tapping on the edge of the bronze table, Klein was keenly aware of the changes in "The Hanged Man" and "Justice".

But he pretended that nothing had happened, gave the state that everything was expected, and continued to himself:

"I pray for your help. ”

"I pray for your favor. ”

"I pray that you will let me have a good dream. ”

"O Deep Sleep Flower, herbs belonging to the Red Moon, please pass on the power to my incantation. ”

"O goldenhand, herbs belonging to the sun, please pass on the power to my mantra. ”

......

After describing the incantation in another format, he smiled at the end:

"Ma'am, sir, do you remember?"

"Ah......h

Relying on the strong memory of the "audience", she quickly finished recording and repeating it for confirmation.

Alger behaved much more than she normally would, and no matter what he thought in his heart, the pen in his hand never stopped.

After confirming Audrey's record, Klein smiled slightly:

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

"By Wednesday at the latest, I hope you will find time to complete this ritual. ”

He planned to re-enter on Thursday night to see if the ritual magic had worked.

- The reason why the "Hanged Man" and "Justice" are not allowed to pray directly for "absence" is because Klein is worried that it will not be able to tell whether they really want to "take a leave of absence" or if they are the result of trying ritual magic, and whether they will pull or not pull when the time comes?

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

"According to the hangman's last proposal, after the business comes the small talk stage, who will start first?" Crane gestured to please.

Audrey groaned for a moment 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 councillors, perhaps, it is really possible to become a reality, of course, with the efficiency of the Royal Government, the plan will not appear in half a year at the earliest. ”

She was not worried that the "hanged man" would find out her identity based on this incident, for she had only casually led the way, and made the proud ladies think that their brilliant minds had played a role, and that they could not wait to show off to their husbands, their fathers, and their brothers.

At that moment, Audrey felt that she saw a golden peacock with the screen open.

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

And changing the situation in the kingdom in this ingenious way gives Audrey a strange sense of accomplishment, as if she has found a way for the "audience" to also influence the plot of the drama.

"I hope so. "Hanged man," Alger replied mockingly.

He paused for a few seconds, glanced at the fool at the head of the long bronze table, and said after considering his words:

"In recent decades, there has been an increase in the number of activities of various covert organizations, and there have even been several new, large-scale organizations with a certain amount of extraordinary power. ”

Are you trying to find out the reason from me? I haven't even started to get into the information of "illegal organizations...... Klein just smiled and did not comment on the news of the "hanging man", instead speaking ambiguously

"Some ancient power is awakening. ”

For example, the power represented by the notes of the Antigonus family......

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

Klein swept the "Hanging Man" with his gaze, swept over the "Justice", and said with a smile:

"If there is nothing else to share, then this is the end of today's meeting. ”

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

Crane's fingers slid and severed his connection with the crimson stars, and he watched as the two figures disappeared into the majestic hall.

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

The bright stars hooked up a strange symbol, one that was outside of Klein's current occult knowledge.

He carefully identified it for a while, and saw the "pupilless eye" symbolizing secrecy and the "twisted thread" symbolizing change, each missing a part of each, overlapping each other to form a new symbol.

"Incomplete secrecy, incomplete change...... What does it mean to add up?" Klein frowned and whispered, unable to think of an answer for a moment.

He withdrew his gaze and walked around the magnificent, ancient temple, not missing a corner.

"I just thought about it casually and gave me a rough idea, without a specific description of the shape of the palace, the long tables and the chairs...... And what do they look like?optimization?initial template?or reality mapping?" Klein looked at it, and suddenly thought of a question that he had previously overlooked.

Hey, I have to say, as a keyboard powerhouse, I really lack experience and not be sharp enough in many things, so that I realize it later...... With this self-examination, Crane carefully examined the area above the gray mist and around the temple, but found no other creatures or anything else weird.

As for the farther away, seemingly boundless ill places, he did not dare to go deeper for the time being, for fear of being completely lost there.

"Phew, this place is full of mystery...... When I'm stronger, I don't know if there will be new changes......" Crane sighed, unfolding his spirituality, wrapping himself, simulating the feeling of a rapid fall.

Everything flew by, the illusions shattered, and he saw through the gray mist to see the real world, the desk, the curtains, and the coat rack in his bedroom.

............

Beckland, Queens.

Audrey saw the paintings hanging on the walls and felt the softness of the velvet pillows.

She didn't get up immediately, but seriously reminisced about today's meeting, as if she were watching a play re-enacted.

"Mr. Fool said that when he tried that ritual, he gave descriptive spells such as the Mystic Juggernaut and the King of Yellow and Black, and his tone was somewhat confident...... Confident ......" Audrey, who was silently analyzing, took a breath suddenly, and her body trembled faintly.

Forget it, since you can't fight it, don't think about it...... Mr. Fool has always behaved very kindly, and should be an orderly existence...... Audrey's mood quickly improved, thinking of her own play, thinking of the weakness of the potion backlash.

She hummed a brisk melody, left the bed, walked out the door, and took the initiative to adjust her state and become a "spectator".

Opening the door, she saw the maid passing by on the other side, and saw the calluses on the other person's hands, the sunburn on his face, and many other similar details, which allowed her to speculate a lot.

At this moment, Audrey suddenly sensed and hurriedly turned her head to look at the dark corner away from the balcony.

She saw Susie, the golden retriever, crouching there, quietly observing herself, like she watched a maid.

Goddess...... The corners of Audrey's mouth twitched, and she wanted to hide her face and let out a long sigh.

............

On the sea of Sunia, the captain's room is heavily protected.

Alger came to his senses and realized that nothing had changed around him, as if nothing had happened.

He sighed and said to himself in his heart:

"An ancient being?"

............

Leaving the ceremony, Crane pulled back the curtains, took out his notebook, and began to write again.

He recalls the contents of several diaries of Russell the Great, and through such records, he strengthens his impression so that he does not forget it in the future.

After he finished writing, he read it again and again, but in the end he tore up the notes that he had written out and burned them clean.

If you do this once a week, you won't forget the key points...... It's just that as time goes on, the task becomes more and more onerous...... Unfortunately, there's no other way to do it, I haven't studied cryptography...... Crane gathered his thoughts, moved his lower cervical spine, and planned to go out to the divination club.

- "Fortune tellers" have different standards in different people's hearts, and no one can say that others must be wrong, so Klein does not know what kind of "soothsayer" is the most suitable for the needs of "potions", and can only be corrected through practice again and again!
