Part 4 The Undead Chapter 160 – Their “Understandings”
Neither …… “The Hidden One “As she chewed on Mr. Fool’s answer, she was suddenly confused as to the true meaning of the question she had just asked.
She originally thought that Rossel’s mind and spirit of the destination must be involved in the philosophical or occult level factors, for example, “the island” refers to the belief in the divine kingdom of the gods, “the depths of the starry sky” implies the meaning of the “starry world”, symbolizing Rossel’s mind and spirit of the world. For example, “that island” refers to the divine kingdom of the deity believed in, “the depths of the starry sky” implies “the astral plane”, symbolizing that Rossel the Great only believed in his own superego, aiming at the throne of God, but Mr. Fool said that it was none of these, which negates almost all possibilities, and one can’t think of any other answer.
Perhaps the Queen is not asking what I understand, but Mr. Fool’s answer points to something else …… It doesn’t matter if I can figure it out or not, I’m just a prop for them to communicate with each other… …Gadelia sighed in her heart and bowed sincerely:
”Thank you for your answer.”
The rest of the members of the Tarot Club were even more confused by this question and answer, although they knew the cause, and could understand the specific meaning of the mind and spiritual home, they were completely unable to connect this with the “island” and the “depths of the starry sky”, and so they had their own interpretations, their own guesses, but they also felt that the correct answer should be similar to the correct answer. They have their own interpretations, their own guesses, but they feel that they are far from the correct answer.
In the subconscious mind of Forsyth the Magician, “the island” may be the place where Rossel buried his favorite woman, and “the depths of the stars” means that in his old age, the emperor had turned his attention to the place he called “the island of the stars”. The “depths of the stars” means that in his old age, the emperor had set his sights on what he called “the sea of stars”.
Audrey “Justice” believes that “that island” is the island of self-consciousness at the psychological level, with the sea part of the island being the manifest consciousness and the bottom part of the island being the subconsciousness, while the starry sky refers to the spiritual sky and the astral realm. “Is Rossel the Great believing in the Ego, or in the Divine, or in pure Nature”.
From this point of view, the answer given by Mr. “Fool” is rather strange, and seems to say that Rossel the Great did not believe in anything, including himself.
I seem to have misunderstood …… But if this is the case, Mr. “Fool” said Rossel the Great seems to be contradictory, but actually hides some deep secrets …… Or, in his later years Or, perhaps, in his later years, he saw through life, pondered the nature of the universe, the world, the gods, and mankind, and became a pessimist, a nihilist? Audrey thought with considerable interest as if she were exercising her powers.
The “Hanged Man” Alger’s thoughts were close to those of the “Hermit” Gadelia, and the “Moon” Emlyn, after considering the matter for a while, felt that there was no clue, and decided to give up the speculation. Derek “Sun” had no interest in Rossel the Great, but did not break the silence, repeatedly thinking about the things to be exchanged later.
Finally, the “Fool” under the gray fog laughed softly:
”You may begin.”
”Inverted Man” Alger instantly looked toward “World” Germaine Sparrow at the bottom of the long bronze table and weighed his words:
”I’m sorry, but your magical item may have to wait a while.”
Without waiting for the other to speak, he gave a quick explanation:
”That ‘craftsman’ has strangely contracted a disease, and suspicious snoopers have appeared around him, so there’s been a delay… I’ll make a trip over there myself to see if I can solve his troubles and get him back on his feet as soon as possible, and try to make the magical item you need within these two weeks. ”
He spoke very sincerely, and also expressed his own apologies and attention, but in the actual description, he quietly put all the blame on the “craftsman”, as if saying to the “world”, “If you are really dissatisfied, I will help you teach the other party a lesson, and if that’s not enough, I can even give you a specific address. If that’s not enough, I’ll even give you a specific address so you can come in person.
That “craftsman” is in trouble ah …… Mr. “hanging man” is still very important, well, unofficial, or willing to take orders from unknown sources! “Artisans” are very rare, can keep this one, or try to keep …… Klein pondered for a moment, let the dummy “world” hissed in response:
”I agree with this postponement, but there will be no next time.”
He spoke plainly, but Alger the Hanged Man was startled, seemingly sensing the murderous intent embedded in Germaine Sparrow, “The World”.
”Thank you for your understanding.” He said outwardly calmly.
Seeing this, “The Hidden One” Gadelia, who was listening to the exchange between the two, looked towards “The Inverted Man”, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, pushed up her glasses, and took the initiative to open her mouth:
”If you can’t solve that problem, I can help.”
In her opinion, if the problem wasn’t too big, she could even do it for free, after all, it meant that she had bypassed the “Inverted Man”, and had directly established a connection with the “Artisan”.
”Inverted man” how could Alger not understand the “hermit” the pirate general’s real intention, only to feel that the other party showed a strong aggression, let himself feel a certain degree of pressure, he paused, not moving, responded:
”Then I’ll take his place and thank you in advance for your kindness.”
On the one hand, he showed that he had a close relationship with the “artisan”, on the other hand, he did not reject it outright, leaving himself a way out – it was not unacceptable to sacrifice a little bit of profit than to be troubled by Germaine Sparrow.
”Hermit” Gadelia did not dwell on this aspect of the matter, turned to look at the “world” Germaine Sparrow said:
”Are you satisfied with the information on Sibiran?”
She had already collected and organized the Sibiran information that Germaine Sparrow needed last Thursday, and handed it over to the other party with the help of that strange messenger.
–She was too much in awe of Mr. Fool to disturb this being in any other way.
It cost me 300 pounds, and if it is not up to scratch, I’ll return it on the spot! Klein muttered, to which Germaine “The World” Sparrow replied with a “hmm”.
Then the dummy’s eyes went to Ms. Magician.
Forsyth became uncomfortable, as if he were a mouse being watched by a cat, and could not help wondering in his mind whether he had done something wrong again.
Had Hugh and I overheard my description, no, denigration, of Dawn Dantes? Or was he unhappy that I hadn’t returned the money? Forsyth didn’t bother to think about the fact that many days had passed since that previous bodyguard assignment, and opened his mouth slightly warily to ask:
”Mr. ‘World’, is there, is there something?”
”World” Germaine Sparrow nodded and said:
”A commission.
”Get information on the Spirit World’s Calderon City from the Abrahams family, and most importantly, locate it.”
Calderon City …… How did the “world” suddenly start looking for this mysterious city in the spirit world? At the behest of Mr. “Fool”? Is this a new part of the K Recovery Program? The “Hidden One”, Gadelia, who had some knowledge of Calderon City, was a bit stunned.
The rest of the members of the Tarot Club, including “Magician” Forsyth, are not sure what kind of city “World” Germaine Sparrow is looking for, and can only remain silent, of which “Moon” Emlyn is vaguely aware of. “Emlyn had a vague feeling that he had heard of it somewhere, but couldn’t remember the details.
Three or four seconds later, “Magician” Voorhees squeezed out a smile:
”No problem, I will inquire for you.”
”How much payment is required?” “World” Germaine Sparrow asked in a flat tone.
One thousand pounds! No, 500 pounds, no, minus the bodyguard’s fee …… “Magician” Forsyth’s thoughts raced and he finally quoted:
”350 pounds.”
Very cheap ah, Calderon City’s detailed information in addition to the spiritual world of the seven lights, most only Abraham family only have …… Well, for the “magician” Miss, is to ask about the teacher’s things, really simple and convenient, no wonder the asking price is not high! …… Klein was first surprised, then relieved, let the dummy “world” gently nodded and said:
”Deal.”
Witnessed the deal “justice” Audrey noticed an interesting point:
Ms. “Magician” seemed to be very afraid of Mr. “World”, so much so that it was a bit of a reflex!
She’s met Dawn Dantes before without realizing it was Germaine Sparrow and found out something terrible? Well, ask her and Hugh to meet at Grayling’s this week, and see if we can’t get something out of …… Audrey nodded her head thoughtfully and imperceptibly.
At this point, seeing that the “world” has nothing else to do, “moon” Emlyn slightly eagerly looked sideways at the “sun”:
”Do you have the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 5 Artificial Vampire yet?”
”I haven’t saved up enough merits yet.” “Sun” Derek was not ashamed this time, but felt that Mr. “Moon” was in too much of a hurry, how could he easily save up the merits required for the Sequence 5 extraordinary trait?
”Moon” Emlin turned his head back, suddenly remembered something, busy “magician” lady said:
”There are clues to the cursed objects and residual spirituality of the ancient grudge, and I am waiting for specifics.
”It may not be to give you the items directly, but to provide an intelligence as to which part of the vicinity of Berkland is infested with the Ancient Grievance.”
Speaking of which, Emlyn thought for a moment:
”Three hundred pounds.”
In other words, I need to hunt that ancient grudge spirit myself? In the various occult rumors, this is quite a powerful monster …… After listening to Mr. Moon’s words, Forsyth’s first reaction was to be embarrassed, and his second reaction was to entrust the hunting task to Mr. “World”. The second thought was to entrust the hunting mission to Mr. “World”, and the other party would surely be able to complete it quickly and smoothly!
But when she thought that the cost of hiring Mr. World would far exceed the value of the ancient spirit, she thought it would be better to try it herself.
When Hugh becomes an Inquisitor, the two of them together will have a much better chance of success. …… And I also have “Lemanor’s Traveling Notebook”, which has a transcription of a demigod-level “Tornado”, which is the first of its kind. “Tornado” and “Angel’s Embrace”, there are many strange and extraordinary abilities in the transcripts, below the high sequence, it’s almost a godly weapon. …… Uh, I don’t have too much experience in battle, I mostly just run away. I just run away most of the time, so this is a chance …… “Magician” Voorhees quickly made up his mind and said to “Moon” Emlyn:
”Deal.”
Confirmed a few other things, the transaction session ended, Klein let the “world” Germaine Sparrow in front of Mr. “inverted hanging man”, looking around the circle said:
”I’ve cleared up the preliminary investigation into the Caron suicide in Berkland.”
