Above the boundless gray fog, the majestic palace stood silently.
Having come here once again, "Moon"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
"Justice" Audrey greeted everyone in turn, starting from "The Fool" and ending with "The World".
This order was not based on their seating arrangement but followed the logic of the Tarot, where "The Fool" is the beginning containing all possibilities, and "The World" is the perfectly sublimated ending.
This was a small compulsion of Miss Audrey, an occult enthusiast, which had emerged as the
She's truly a girl from a good family, without a care in the world... Emlyn judged with feigned profundity, politely returning her greeting.
During this process, he caught sight of "Sun" out of the corner of his eye, which reminded him of his recent experiences studying the detailed history of the vampire race at the home of Baron Veyman.
There are indeed many details I don't know. There really is a difference between professional researchers and amateur enthusiasts, but starting this week, I, Emlyn White, will be a professional researcher... Baron Veyman never mentioned anything about the
Suddenly, he frowned, discovering a very important question:
"Why am I still going to the Harvest Church every day?"
Mm, as a noble vampire, one must see things through from beginning to end. There have been quite a few more patients recently. Ah, having one's reputation spread isn't necessarily a good thing... "Moon" Emlyn's brow gradually relaxed and softened.
Seeing that "Justice" Miss had finished her greetings, he reached out and tapped the table, looking at her and saying:
"Do you need..."
"Justice" Audrey pressed her right hand down, making a stopping gesture, then smiled lightly and said:
"Let's discuss it during the transaction phase.
"This is Mr. Fool's reading time."
Judging by the vampire gentleman's tone, it seems he has at least one of the Elder Tree's fruits or the Mirror Dragon's blood... Audrey, you're almost a "Psychiatrist"! You're almost a mid-sequence Beyonder! Audrey's mood became even more cheerful, her brows and eyes full of smiles.
She looked at the figure in the fog and said with a rising tone:
"Honored Mr. Fool, I've obtained another three pages of Roselle's diary~"
Only four pages left... she thought, pursing her lips.
Following "Justice" Miss's example, "Magician" Fors also spoke up:
"Mr. Fool, I also have three new pages of Roselle's diary over here."
She was equally full of anticipation for this Tarot gathering, because the digestion progress of her second "Apprentice" potion was faster than expected. She had completely eliminated this hidden problem the day before yesterday.
"Sun" Derrick followed closely:
"Great Mr. Fool, I have transcribed some legends of the
Then, he said to "Hanged Man":
"The monster list for the surrounding area is also organized."
What a truly honest kid, no need for anyone to remind him... Klein sighed with leisurely satisfaction.
Geez, no progress at all... Although this makes it easier for me to gain benefits, it also hides the risk of losing the resources of the City of Silver... Exposure is a problem that must be constantly guarded against... "Hanged Man" Alger shook his head almost imperceptibly.
Roselle's diary and the legends of the Ancient Gods were soon manifested, flashing into Klein's palm.
He quickly scanned through them and found that two of the six pages of the diary were duplicates of previous entries. For example, one page contributed by "Justice" Miss matched a submission by "Hanged Man" last year.
This is an unavoidable problem, unless I can make them truly learn Simplified Chinese... Klein sighed inwardly, using his will to transfer those two pages to the end.
The remaining four pages of the diary contained no particularly valuable information. Most of them belonged to the period when Roselle had lost his ideals and was obsessed with money. The entries were filled with sentences like "What did I invent today?", "What am I going to invent tomorrow?", "How many gold coins were sold?", "How much investment was secured?", making Klein almost unable to control his expression, wanting nothing more than to slap these pages right onto Roselle's face.
At this moment, "Justice" Audrey also keenly noticed that the "Black Emperor" card had returned, quietly resting beside Mr. Fool's hand.
So it was bestowed upon a Blessed to help them complete their mission? Hmm, there is another possibility: this is a new "Blasphemy Card," not the original one! Audrey speculated with great interest.
After finishing the diary, Klein held back the urge to take a deep breath to calm himself and shifted his gaze to the legends of the Ancient Gods provided by little "Sun".
This was a rather rough account, dividing the eight Ancient Gods of the Second Epoch into three factions. The
In the City of Silver's records, all eight Ancient Gods were described as tyrannical, evil, cruel, and terrifying. Even the Vampire Progenitor Lilith, who had the most normal appearance and was called the 'Embodiment of Beauty', had a nauseating and ferocious side.
Any living being who witnessed this scene, except for the other Ancient Gods, invariably lost their minds, either mutating on the spot or becoming insane. The City of Silver's records originated from the Giant King's court's texts, or so they claimed.
It can't be ruled out that it was slander against an ally... This behavior is very close to the loss of control after a vampire prays to the "Primordial Moon"... Is this one of the characteristics at the end of the "Moon" pathway? Thinking of this, Klein almost raised his head to glance at Emlyn White.
In the legends of the City of Silver, the Vampire Progenitor Lilith indeed rules the Crimson Moon. If She wished, She could make every day of the 365 days of the year a blood moon, allowing the powers of yin to ravage the earth, allowing the Spirit World to interact with reality for a long time, releasing countless indescribable monsters and evil spirits.
