Chương 106: Sharing "Story"
Klein looked at the members of the Tarot Club who had different emotions under his Spirit Vision and smiled.
"This attempt will make your transaction simple and safe, and it will be sufficiently confidential."
He turned his head slightly to look at the Tower and said unhurriedly,
"Mr. Tower, last week, when you used Roselle's diary in exchange for reducing the negative effects of Sealed Artifacts, you asked me for a sacrifice, right?"
Klein had deliberately mentioned this matter to show his magnanimity, making it difficult for the members of the Tarot Club to realize that the sacrificial ritual he was about to attempt came from the information provided by the Tower. It was difficult for them to imagine that he didn't know anything about sacrificial offerings.
"Yes, Mr. Fool. I wish to send the Sealed Artifact to your divine kingdom through 'sacrifice,'" Ebner suppressed his excitement and answered honestly.
Klein followed his predetermined explanation and nodded slightly.
"I made some new attempts according to the current sacrificial ritual you gave me. This way, just receiving your Sealed Artifact as a 'sacrifice' would be a waste. Therefore, my idea is that each of you can sacrifice Beyonder ingredients or other items to me through the ritual. I'll then bestow them to the members you wish to trade with… Such a method is beneficial to all of you."
It can even be done this way? Audrey was instantly dumbfounded. She felt that this was beyond her imagination.
However, she quickly came to a realization. She understood the advantages of such a method and the hidden essence of a deity under the seemingly simple operation!
Mr. Fool is awesome! Our Tarot Club is indeed different from other secret organizations! We use the methods of deities to exchange for resources and materials! Audrey nearly habitually praised the Goddess in her heart, but after the lesson she learned at the last gathering, she finally changed it to praise Mr. Fool.
Alger became increasingly wary as he entered a state of calm contemplation.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, what do I need to do?"
He attempted to analyze The Fool's true goal from the sacrificial ritual.
Klein pressed lightly with his right hand and said,
"Don't worry. The ritual is very simple. It doesn't involve anything bloody or cruel."
With that said, Klein secretly glanced at Ebner. Seeing that he was unmoved, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Good acting." Then, he continued,
"First, prepare an altar. It doesn't have to be too complicated and can be very simple. The only requirement is to engrave or draw this symbol."
As he spoke, a screen of light appeared in front of him. It was none other than the mysterious pattern formed by the Pupil-less Eye, which symbolized concealment, and the twisted thread that represented change. It was the pattern behind The Fool's high-back chair.
As The Hanged Man, Justice, and Tower attempted to memorize the symbol, Klein chuckled and said,
"If you forget, you can pray to me. Then, you can 'recall' it."
"Alright!" Audrey replied briskly.
With Mr. Fool, the rituals aren't tiring or troublesome anymore! She thought happily.
Seeing The Hanged Man nod, Klein continued describing,
"Secondly, do it according to the normal procedure, but there's no need to burn any additional herbs or smear it with holy oil. There's no need to choose a specific time. Just recite my name."
"Remember, recite it in ancient Hermes or Jotun, and use the following prayer phrases:
"Your loyal servant prays for your attention;
"I pray that you will accept his offerings."
"I beg you to open the door to the kingdom."
"After reciting, combine the vibration of the spiritual materials and the power of nature caused by the incantation and await my response."
At this point, Klein listed quite a number of materials for the ritual that Ebner had previously provided him. This wasn't the simplified material he had used during his experiments, but the original version in the information. After all, in his impression, whether it was Justice, The Hanged Man, or The Tower, they didn't lack the ten pounds.
Alger listened quietly and felt that his previous guess was very close to the truth.
The Fool is an ancient god, and "He" is in a certain predicament!
"He" gave an attempt that contained induction, an attempt that went deeper step by step. "He" wanted to use "Him," Justice, "and" Tower "to slowly break free. In the end," He "might descend into the real world!
This was also the true reason "He" had pulled people into this mysterious space and agreed to establish the Tarot Club!
Even without his previous guesses, Alger believed that he would come to the same conclusion after hearing that this simple sacrificial ritual could be compared to his previous attempts.
The only thing he didn't understand was that "Tower" seemed to have long known about The Fool's condition, but "He" had deliberately cooperated with "Him" to help "Him" escape from "His" predicament. What kind of benefits were there for a knowledgeable Beyonder like "Tower" to scheme against?
Could it be that Tower wants to use this opportunity to become Mr. Fool's Blessed?
There must be a secret that I'm still unaware of and have no way of guessing… Alger momentarily let his imagination run wild.
Upon hearing The Fool's recount of the various matters regarding the sacrificial ritual, Ebner, who had long planned on sending the "delivery" online, was the first to express his stance.
"After the gathering ends, I'll sacrifice the Clown Mask to you. In addition, I'll sacrifice two additional charms for Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man to attempt the bestowment ritual."
Giving away two charms just like that, how rich! Although Klein lampooned inwardly, he was very satisfied with the Tower's cooperation. Hence, he looked at Justice and The Hanged Man and thought for a moment.
"When Mr. Tower's sacrifice attempt succeeds, I'll tell you the bestowment ritual."
Upon hearing Mr. Fool's words, Justice and The Hanged Man reacted and immediately replied, "Alright, we will follow your instructions."
Audrey's lips curled up as she recalled the scene when she received the bestowment. Then, she recalled Mr. Tower's words and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Tower, what kind of charm did you sacrifice?"
Ebner chuckled when he heard that. Instead of answering, he asked, "Miss Justice, what kind of charm do you want?" As he could use the Eye of White to create low-level charms at a low cost, he had quite a number of charms in his possession. However, the effective time was too short. Only Sequence 9 charms could be preserved for a longer period of time.
"Can I've still choose?" Audrey was immediately interested. She wanted to ask what kind of gifts they had, but before she could speak, she suddenly changed her mind. She smiled and said, "Ma'am always looks forward to a surprise gift. There's no fun in knowing it ahead of time."
Choosing one of the many varieties is too cruel for me. I'll definitely think of buying them all… But that would be too disrespectful to Mr. Fool, Audrey thought to herself.
At that moment, Alger, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "If it's convenient, can you give me a Courage charm?"
What the heck, he's still doing it? He's really taking advantage of every opportunity to probe me. Unfortunately, who said that people who aren't from the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun can't create Sun domain charms?
Ebner smiled to himself and nodded. "Sure."
Seeing that the topic of sacrifice and bestowment had come to an end, the Tarot Club also entered the segment of sharing information. Audrey thought for a moment and took the lead to say,
"A few days ago in Backlund, there was a large case of population kidnapping. A company secretly controlled by the East Balam Restoration Association abducted people in the dock area, East Borough, and the bridge area, killing them wantonly. Finally, this case was discovered and solved by a heroic and upright detective."
"According to my intelligence, the detective was involved in this case because the son of a family in East Borough had gone missing. He then sensed the company's problems, so he infiltrated the company alone and discovered a cell underground."
"Although the newspapers have been praising Mr. Detective for saving many beautiful girls from the dungeon, I know that it's just an exaggeration and interpretation of the newspapers. In fact, the detective was very calm. He wasn't discovered by the company's security. Instead, he carefully withdrew and found the Church of Steam. Only then did he remove the company and the gang behind it."
Klein had been experimenting with the sacrificial ritual for the past two days. He hadn't bought any newspapers from Backlund, so he didn't know about it. Now that he heard Miss Justice mention it, he agreed with the detective's bravery and rationality.
After Alger heard that, he asked thoughtfully, "They reported it to the Church of Steam, but they didn't report it to the police… That company has Beyonders backing it?"
Miss Justice was taken aback as she said, "I'm not too sure either…" Fors didn't mention if there were any Beyonders when she told me the inside story.
"That detective isn't an ordinary person either," Alger said with certainty. With that said, he looked at the Tower beside him, hoping to get some inside information on the matter from him.
However, at this moment, Mr. Tower was imitating Mr. Fool as he sat "mysteriously" in his seat. He didn't express any opinion on this matter and didn't seem interested.
