Chapter VII Code Name
"You can call me, fool."
The short answer quickly disappeared in the magnificent temple and the fog, but in Audrey and Alger's hearts, the sound echoed for a long time, stirring up ripples after round.
I didn't expect it but felt that it should be the title of this feeling, perfectly reflecting the title of mysterious, powerful, weird and other images!
After a few seconds of quietness, Audrey stood up, lifted her skirt with a false face, bent her knees, and bowed her to Zhou Mingrui:
"Dear Mr. Fool, allow me to take the liberty of pleading, can you be a witness to our transaction?"
"A small thing." Zhou Mingrui's thoughts turned sharply and replied in a way that suits his identity.
"This is our honor, Mr. Fool." Alger also stood up, stroked his right hand and bowed to salute.
Zhou Mingrui's right hand pressed and spoke with a smile:
"You guys keep going."
Alger nodded, sat down again, looked at Audrey and said:
"If you can get ghost shark blood, then find someone to send it to the 'Warriors and Sea' bar on Pelican Street in White Rose District, Port Pritz, and tell the owner Williams that this is what the Captain wants."
"When I confirm, will you send the potion recipe to my address, or will you let me tell you directly here?"
Audrey thought for a while and smiled:
"I chose a more confidential way, right here, although it's a test of my memory."
Since Mr. Fool promised to witness the transaction, it means there is another similar "party".
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head, looked at Zhou Mingrui with a bright look, and suggested with great interest:
"Mr. Fool, do you mind a few more times of 'try' like this now?"
After listening calmly, Alger was also moved and hurriedly echoed:
"Mr. Fool, don't you think this kind of 'gathering' is interesting? Although your power exceeds our imagination, there are always areas in the world where you don't understand and are not good at. The lady opposite is obviously a noble family. I also have my own experience, insight, channels and resources. She and I may be able to help you complete insignificant things that are inconvenient to do in some time in the future."
In his opinion, since he would be pulled here without any defense or resistance, it means that the initiative is in the hands of the mysterious Mr. Fool. He will not be able to succeed if he refuses to participate in the "party" after he wants to refuse to participate in the "party". Therefore, it is better to dig deeper and better at exploring the benefits of this encounter and make up for the passiveness and disadvantages with the gains.
The three parties at the long table have different backgrounds, different resources, different news channels, and different mysterious fields. If they can communicate with each other and cooperate with limited cooperation, they will produce wonderful effects that cannot be estimated and measured!
For example, the resource exchange I just decided, such as if you want to kill someone, you can ask "party members" who have nothing to do with you on the surface and in essence for help, which will make things perfectly mislead in another direction.
A noble lady... Is my accent so obvious in my performance? Audrey opened her mouth halfway and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and nodded without hesitation:
"Mr. Fool, I think this is a good proposal. As long as the 'party' becomes regular, some things can be transferred to us if you are not convenient for you to come forward, and of course, they must be within our capacity."
Since the beginning, Zhou Mingrui has been weighing the pros and cons. More "gatherings" can indeed allow him to gain more extraordinary mysteries and mystic knowledge, which will help him travel back in the future. For example, the potion formula of "audience" that should appear in the next "gathering", can also obtain news for the current real life and get some help.
However, the more "gatherings" are, the easier it is to expose one's own reality and reality!
Sure enough, no matter which world, there is nothing that only benefits... Zhou Mingrui stretched out his right hand again and tapped the edge of the long table with his finger.
Considering that the convening and dissolution of the "gathering" is under his control, even if any problem is exposed, it is within the controllable range, and the benefits are obviously greater than the disadvantages, Zhou Mingrui quickly made a decision.
His tapping stopped and he smiled at four expectant and nervous gazes:
āIām a person who likes equivalent exchange.ā
"I won't let you help unconditionally."
"Every Monday, at 3pm, try to be alone. Wait for me to try a few more times and figure out some things. Maybe you can ask for leave in advance, so don't worry about being in an inappropriate situation."
This is even agreeing to the proposal of Alger and Audrey.
Audrey had just turned seventeen and had been well-cared for her. The girl was very kind. When she heard Mr. Fool's answer, she couldn't help but clench her fists and waved her chest twice.
"Then should we give ourselves a title? After all, we cannot communicate with our real names." Before Arger could speak, her eyes were bright and she said with great enthusiasm.
Although my true situation may not be hidden from Mr. Fool, the guy opposite him is also a bit dangerous and cannot let him know who I am!
"Good idea." Zhou Mingrui answered briefly and easily.
Audrey immediately started thinking and said while thinking:
"You are Mr. Fool, from Tarot. As a regular, long-term, secret 'gathering', you must try to be consistent. Well, I'll choose from Tarot too."
Her tone gradually became pleasant:
"I decided that my title is, 'just'!"
This is one of the twenty-two main cards of the Tarot card.
"What about you, sir?" Audrey looked at the "companion" opposite with a smile.
Alger frowned slightly and then stretched out:
"Hangered man."
This is another master card.
"Okay, then we are the founding members of the Tarot Society!" Audrey blurted happily first, then looked at Zhou Mingrui who was shrouded in gray mist with a little timid, "No problem, Mr. Fool?"
Zhou Mingrui shook his head in a funny way:
"You can make your own decisions about such small things."
"Thank you!" Audrey was obviously excited.
Then, she looked at Alger again:
"Mr. Hanging Man, can you repeat the address just now? I'm afraid that my memory is not deep enough."
"No problem." Alger was quite satisfied with Audrey's seriousness and repeated the address again.
After chanting it three times, Audrey said excitedly:
"I heard that the Tarot card is just a game invented by Emperor Rossell, and it actually does not have the function of divination?"
"No, many times, divination comes from itself. Everyone has spirituality and can communicate with the spiritual world and communicate with the information about themselves at a higher level. It's just that ordinary people cannot detect this, let alone interpret the 'hinting' they get. When they use divination tools, these information will be presented with the help of tools. The simplest example is dreaming and dream interpretation." Alger looked at Zhou Mingrui and saw that he did not express it, so he denied Audrey's statement. "Tarot cards actually belong to this kind of tool. They use more symbols and more reasonable elements to help us interpret the 'hinting' more convenient and accurate."
Zhou Mingrui seemed careless, but in fact he listened very seriously, but his mental emptyness began to become serious, and his head hurts.
"I understand." Audrey nodded in recognition, and then emphasized, "I don't mean this. I'm not questioning the tarot cards. I heard that Emperor Rossell actually made another deck of cards, secret cards that symbolize some unknown powers. There were twenty-two cards in total. After he finished it, he used this to invent the twenty-two main cards of the tarot cards. As a game tool, is this statement accurate?"
She looked at Zhou Mingrui, as if she wanted to get the answer from the mysterious Mr. Fool.
Zhou Mingrui just smiled, didn't speak, and turned his attention to the "hanged man", looking like he was taking the test and then taking the test.
Alger subconsciously straightened his back and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, it is said that Emperor Rossell the Great has seen the blasphemy slab, and that deck of cards hides the mystery of the twenty-two paths to gods."
"Twenty-Two Ways to God..." Audrey repeated in a tone full of yearning.
At this time, Zhou Mingrui's headache worsened and felt that the invisible connection between his deep red stars and gray mist began to shake.
"Okay, let's get to this party today." He immediately made a decision and spoke quietly.
"Follow your will." Alger bowed his head and saluted.
"Follow your will." Audrey imitated the "hanging man".
She still has many questions and thoughts, and she is completely reluctant to end it.
Zhou Mingrui smiled while breaking the contact:
"Let's look forward to the next party."
The "Stars" brightened again, and the crimson light shrank back like water. As soon as Audrey and Alger heard the words of Mr. Fool, their figures became more blurred and became more illusory.
In less than a second, the "projection" shattered and silence returned to the gray fog.
Zhou Mingrui felt that he was getting heavier quickly, and he was wandering around. First, there was a darkness in front of him, followed by the bright sunshine.
He is still in the apartment room and is still standing in the center.
"Like a dream...what is the gray fog world...who or what kind of power creates the changes just now..." Zhou Mingrui sighed in a low voice, full of confusion, and his legs were as if filled with lead.
He picked up the pocket watch he had put outside before and confirmed how long it had passed.
"The time flow rate is one to one." Zhou Mingrui roughly judged.
He put down his pocket watch, and his head was so painful that he could no longer hold on. He sat on the chair, lowered his head, and massaged the temples on both sides with his left thumb and middle finger respectively.
After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said in Chinese:
"It seems that I can't go back in a short period of time..."
Only ignorant people are fearless. After seeing such magical things and learning about extraordinary realms and mysterious worlds, Zhou Mingrui dared not recklessly try the "transfer ceremony" of ancient Foxac and Ruen languages!
What people know if another situation will happen, maybe it will be even more strange, more terrifying, and even make life worse than death!
"At least you have to have a deep understanding of mysticism before you can try it." Zhou Mingrui thought helplessly.
Fortunately, the so-called "party" can help you.
There was another silence, and he said to himself with depression, loss, pain and melancholy:
"From now on, I'm Klein."
...
Klein tried hard to turn his thoughts back to methods and plans to relieve the negative emotions in his heart.
Next week, you may be able to hear the recipe of the "Audience" potion...
The "party" just now was really magical. People in different parts of the world turned thousands of miles into a short distance, communicated in person, and communicated with each other. Well, this sounds a bit familiar...
Klein was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly laughed, pressing his temples while whispering:
Chapter completed!
