Chapter.55 First Hearing of Angels
Even though they were just communicating through the mist, Alice could imagine Mr. Fool's face being serious and serious about calculating gold pounds, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Do you think I sold it cheap? But Mr. 'The Hanged Man' just wanted to buy some trial items. What he chose was not an expensive and rare prop. What's more, in order to match the generally deteriorated potion effect here, I also put some in it.
Mixed with a lot of water, one bottle was broken into three bottles and sold... Well, after careful calculation, it seems that I am the black-hearted profiteer? "
Adulterated and fake medicine... Klein's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that he who honestly estimated the cost based on spiritual materials and decided the price was too high and looked at the conscience of this witch.
"Okay, let's not take up the Tarot meeting time with these gossips. If you have nothing to add, our trading conditions are settled." Alice waved her hand to show her business-oriented stance.
"Wait a minute, I want to confirm something. Do you know the price of the main ingredients of Sequence 7 potions?"
Since he hasn't come across any clues about a suspected gathering of Extraordinaries in the "Brave Bar", Klein can only make inferences through the main ingredients of Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 potions that he has come across in the past - the price of the former is around 300 pounds.
Floating, the latter is about 150 pounds to 200 pounds, and a complete potion requires two main ingredients, so the overall cost must be multiplied by two on the price of the main ingredients, plus the "auxiliary ingredients"
A fraction”.
Based on this calculation, the main material for the Sequence 7 potion will cost at least 400 pounds, or even more...
The previous request he made was for an activity fund that was "sufficient for expenses", and the specific value was not determined. If Alice gave him less, he would have to bear the embarrassing consequences by himself.
"Lover" Alice seemed to sigh:
"Don't worry, I will transfer 1,200 pounds to your previous bearer account today. From tomorrow on, you should be able to withdraw cash from any branch of Backlund Bank. If it is not enough, the remaining amount will be directly deposited in gold bars.
Come and do the math, I’ll give it to you in person at home, is that okay?”
1,200 pounds, including the extraordinary characteristics of the "Hunter"... should be enough!
After silently calculating, Klein couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face, nodded frequently and said:
"Okay, it's settled. When will you come back tonight? I expect to go out between seven and nine o'clock. I can do it before or after that."
She held her hands and thought for a moment:
"I will be back before dinner. When you collect the payment from Mr. Hanged Man, you can take away the 5 pounds and treat it as the meal expenses for the recent period. When Eve comes back in two weeks, you can take the 5 pounds."
Just leave the money for daily expenses to her."
Klein nodded and was about to end the discussion with his "lover" when he suddenly remembered the previous discussion about Ourolius at the Tarot meeting and raised his hand to indicate that he still had something to say:
"About Urolius... I mean, you talk about him as if you already know his details, and you also use the pronoun 'him'. You are not going to tell me that it is actually the path of destiny.
The spirit of the spirit, and you can drive away the spirit clone of the spirit?"
"It's not a god," Alice shook her head and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard her quickly speak in plain words, "But what is certain is that He already possesses certain qualities of a god, at least listening to and responding to requests.
Two things... you should be stronger than you are now."
"Furthermore, the amount of information I got from the 'Understanding Legends' spell... How should I put it, the amount of information is quite large. Maybe Mr. Sun will find out soon if he looks through their books on myths and legends.
Or read the documents that mention Ourolius... and his two titles that can explain many problems."
"'Angel of Destiny' and 'Tail-Eater', both refer to Ourolius, a devout believer who follows the 'True Creator'."
The True Creator... Klein suddenly raised his head and asked in shock:
"Is Ourolius a believer in the 'True Creator'? Or an angel?"
As far as he knows, those who can be called angels should only be the strong ones in Sequence 1 and Sequence 2! At least they are called "angels on earth" within the Church of Night, while those in Sequence 3 and Sequence 4 are saints.
!
And, and... although it is a bit hard to say, the beginning of the enmity between Ouroleus and her was because he wanted Alice to have a child!
A child of the Lord in whom He believed—a descendant of the “True Creator”!
And at that time, the time when Alice met Ourolius... it should have happened to be the days around the time when Megaos was pregnant!
Klein suddenly felt that something was connected by invisible lines, bringing a kind of heart-stopping absurdity and trembling.
Alice's concluding remarks continued. She did not know the inside story of the incident that created the tragedy in Tingen, so naturally she could not sympathize with his shudder.
"In the near future, He may come to Backlund to do something. I don't know the details of what it is. But I suggest that you don't think about Him no matter what you have to do. Just pretend that He doesn't exist. Otherwise, you might encounter something when you open the door one day.
Silver-haired man, I am so unlucky..."
"I promise, I promise it won't happen!" Klein quickly confirmed it to himself.
Just kidding, a subordinate who is probably a Sequence 6 Ambassador Intis can make me feel uneasy, let alone a Sequence 1 or Sequence 2 angel! I can’t even get around in time!
I originally thought that it was outrageous enough for me to offend the diplomatic envoys for a five-pound commission. Alice's troublesome physique seemed to be just as high as mine, and she could make enemies of angels without doing anything...
Looking at it this way, I'm pretty normal.
Klein took pleasure in trying to stabilize himself, hastily collected his emotions, and ended his private communication with his "lover".
Seeing Mr. "Fool" let the layer of fog covering his field of vision disappear, and the figure of Miss "Lover" also reappeared in the middle seat of the long bronze table, the free communication of the Tarot Club continued for a while, until "
"The Fool" tapped the edge of the long table, announcing the end of this week's gathering time.
"I already know the contents of the transaction between Mr. 'The Hanged Man' and Miss 'The Lover'. I would also like to ask the two of you to hold the corresponding ceremony as soon as possible after returning to complete the transaction."
"Your wishes will be followed."
"Justice" Audrey was the first to stand up and express her stance, followed by "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun" who followed suit and saluted farewell, and finally "Lovers" responded unhurriedly.
Soon, several figures including "Sun" gradually appeared on both sides of the long table in the Gray Mist Palace. Only Mr. Fool, who was waiting for the transaction and sacrifice ceremony, patted his face, took out a pen and paper, and wrote the following silently.
The words:
"For the refining of life, the required materials include: 100 ml of spring water from the Fairy Spring (Golden Spring of Sunia Island), 50 grams of star crystal..."
When writing the last piece of information, he paused his writing slightly to prevent the clearly visible tremor from mixing with his emotions and leaving marks on the surface of the parchment.
About ten seconds passed before he slowly began to write the final phrase: "A lot of living blood."
A pair of dark and turbid red eyes that had lost their light came back from the memory, and the "Joker" raised his smile skillfully, as if he had become accustomed to wearing a smiling mask that concealed his true intentions.
However, Old Neil originally wanted to resurrect his lost lover and wanted to use rituals to cooperate with the "Hidden Sage"'s response to create a body that would not age. What was Alice's purpose in hoping to obtain the knowledge of life refinement?
After receiving three medicaments from the Sacrifice Gate, Klein picked up the reagent bottle and played with it twice. He stopped thinking for a moment and reached out to touch the crimson star that symbolized the "Hanged Man", giving him the opportunity to "give"
Ritual contact.
Not long after, an illusory door appeared in the mysterious and ancient Gray Mist Palace. Five 10-pound cards and one 5-pound currency appeared from the door, conquering this noble and solemn land with the worldly smell of copper.
Reluctantly sniffing the special ink smell of brand-new banknotes, Klein sighed. He was about to ask Alice to hold another ceremony and transfer the money to her, but suddenly thought that there was no need to go to such trouble - he just had to wait.
Wouldn’t it be nice to use the ritual of summoning spirits to summon yourself to bring the money back to reality?
It just so happened that the Azik bronze whistle placed on the gray mist, Meursault's extraordinary characteristics, various self-made talismans and materials could also be carried back... After making the decision, he nodded lightly and untied the pendulum's silver chain.
, put the citrine vertically on the parchment with the materials for the life refining ritual, and start divination to confirm the correctness of this knowledge.
After completing all this, Klein found the bright white light next to a certain deep red star, found the blazing white star cluster that was different from other stars and represented Alice, and sent the response he had sketched in his mind:
"The 'life refining' ceremony you want, and the normal refining process must involve the participation of a spirit body to confirm the body's ownership, otherwise there may be a mismatch between the body and the spirit... By the way, I don't mind.
Can I ask one more question? Are you planning to make a body for that... mysterious gentleman of unknown origin that you met in the depths of the mirror world?"
He emphasized the pronunciation of "unknown origin".
"Well, at least I don't think he is an enemy, and if I successfully help him out of trouble and let him owe a favor, it will have more room for development than just leaving it alone, right?" Alice answered matter-of-factly, "Well, it's really not possible.
, if you really take a wrong look, then just deal with him when the time comes, what do you think?"
Personally speaking, Klein was not very happy to see her compromising for a stranger, which made him feel a little sour.
But he actually knew that aside from emotional factors, there was nothing wrong with Alice's approach.
She takes the initiative to show kindness and expects to receive the same kindness in return. If it doesn't work, she will beat the person severely to get back the principal and interest... quite reasonable and simple logic.
Klein thought for a while, but tried hard to get rid of his jealousy, and replied with a frown on his face without much sincerity:
"Then I wish you all the best in advance."
"Thank you." As if she couldn't hear his reluctance, Alice ended the topic smoothly, "By the way, do you have any plans at five o'clock in the afternoon? Come out to a nearby restaurant for dinner, I'll treat you, and you can too.
How about receiving a commission to make extra money?"
Have extra money?
This time, Klein answered quickly, and there was no trace of negativity in his tone:
Chapter completed!
