Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 97 – Each Minds His Own
”Moon” Emlyn’s eyes twinkled for a moment as he leaned back in his chair, speaking neither too fast nor too slow, answering Ms. Justice’s question with a slight smile:
”What I need to do is simple: to make sure that both partners move things forward smoothly.”
So you don’t need to be directly involved in the battle? “Justice” Audrey was going to ask a few questions, but after sizing up “Moon” for a couple of moments and re-tasting her words, she smiled and said:
”Since this is the case, then you need to do only one thing, to ensure their own safety.”
It makes sense, can’t let this matter affect my own, anyway, there’s nothing I need to intervene in …… I’m not responsible for the part that must be adventurous, after renting “Lemano’s Travel Notes”, pay for the “world” to record a few pages of “World “Record a few pages of “teleportation”, security is basically no problem …… “Moon” Emlyn thought for a few seconds, gently nodded:
”Very good advice.”
Since the other parts of the blood hunting operation were not controlled at all without the participation of the Tarot Club members, this small-scale private exchange ended quickly, and the participants returned to the real world at the same time.
Kraven was not in a hurry to leave, but after his figure disappeared, he appeared on the seat of the “Fool”, and beckoned the “Dark Cross” and “Stealer”, who were tied together, to come to him. The magical item “Broken Finger”.
At this time, as if the two finger bones polished into the gray-white “tweezers” surface, has floated a grain of sand and gravel due to the absorption of all the surrounding light appears dark and deep, they slowly flow, polymerization, as if to reassemble a new form.
As for the “broken finger” itself, the grayish white became transparent, reflecting a little light, and cracking a small hole.
”The ‘Darknessless Cross’ can actually allow the extraordinary characteristics of magical items and sealed objects to slowly precipitate and reconsolidate, provided, of course, that there is a force similar to that of the mysterious space above the gray mist to suppress it and make it ‘willing’ to come into contact with Other things containing extraordinary characteristics …… “Klein nodded with satisfaction.
Just at this time, the gray “broken finger” suddenly buzzed and vibrated, emitting a passionate voice:
”Oh, my sun!
”Praise you!
”Praise the Sun!
”……”
As the tweezer-like object sang, its interior creaked and rattled, as if it would break into pieces at any moment.
But that didn’t stop it from singing the praises of the sun at all.
”……” Klein watched the scene with his mouth slightly open, and briefly didn’t know what expression to give.
After a few seconds, he sighed and separated the Darknessless Cross and the Broken Finger, throwing them together at the edge of the pile of debris, in different locations, and suppressing them with the power of the gray mist.
Immediately afterward, he was ready to leave this place and return to the real world.
At that moment, the point of light that represented the only believer of the “Fool” and had been marked swung a circle of radiance, and a prayer that overlapped with one was heard.
Klein collected his thoughts and spread his spirituality over, and the scene of Daniz praying in his room appeared in front of his eyes, while a corresponding voice echoed in his ears:
”Great Mr. ‘Fool,’ your humble devotee begs you to deliver to Germaine Sparrow the following words:
”According to my captain, there are many things rumored at sea to be in the possession of the ‘Lieutenant General of Disease,’ but all of them are false, without exception, and since that attack and wounding the pirate admiral has paid great attention to the secrecy of her own itinerary, and has committed few robberies; the last time that her fleet was seen was two months ago on the raging The last time her fleet appeared was two months ago, in the western part of the sea on the island of Selos, after that, it sailed into the vast ocean, no one knows where it went.
”The foreign substance within Anderson’s stomach has been tentatively brought under control, isolated from his body in some way, and will not penetrate his flesh and blood for a long time.
”There are two ways to completely solve this hidden problem, one is to ask the ‘Sun’ pathway’s Sequence 4 ‘No Dark One’ to help, but this exists the possibility of even its own extraordinary properties being purified in large quantities, and it’s not a small one, and the other is to look for the ‘Hunter’ pathway Sequence 4 ‘Iron Blooded Knight’ for a magic potion formula that would directly absorb the foreign substance through the aid of rituals and materials.
”Anderson is leaning towards the latter option, he’s happy to take the risk.”
It could be clearly seen that Daniz was paraphrasing the “Iceberg Lieutenant General’s” reply in an imitation manner, which was not quite like his normal style of speaking …… However, some of the words used were not accurate enough, could it be that Daniz had secretly made a modification and used his own more understandable He, he is worried about Gerber. He, is he worried that Germaine Sparrow won’t understand? Klein raised his eyebrows and returned his attention to the content itself:
The “Lieutenant General of Disease” had followed the orders of the Witch Cult and went into hiding during this critical period? If that’s the case, there’s little chance of catching her anytime soon, and in a month or two, it might be too late to look for her. ……
First, I’ll send Daniz to try to find her, so that I can keep some hope …… My own focus has shifted to finding the witch Tris. I have her contact information, so I can consider using the pretext of cooperating with the “White Virgin” Katrina to get her to meet with Germaine Sparrow, and see if I can control her and use her to get her back. See if you can control her and use her to catch Katerina. ……
Both of Anderson’s ways of eliminating hidden dangers, I can help. Since he is inclined to take the risk of absorbing the foreign matter by promotion, I don’t have to sell him the short-term use of the “Darknessless Cross” through Danitz. …… This is good, at least I don’t have to worry about the cross given by Adam touching the cross left by Adam. At least I don’t have to worry about the cross Adam gave me having a bad chemical reaction when it meets the foreign substance Adam left behind. ……
As for the “Iron Blood Knight” magic potion formula, with Anderson’s important role in seducing Ince Zangwill, it’s not impossible to give it to him, heh, the foreign substance in his stomach is the reward given by Adam …… Well, it can’t be directly bestowed, and he’s not a “fool”! He is not a believer in the “Fool”…… Gelman Sparrow also has no reason to give him this kind of high-level things ……
In a flash of thought, Klein quickly made a decision to materialize the “world” of Germaine Sparrow and put him in a prayer position.
……
Inside the Golden Dream, on the Sea of Mists.
Bang!
The wooden door of the room is violently pushed open and slams against the wall.
At the noise, Anderson stopped turning the pages of his book and looked at Danitz, who was standing in the doorway with his pockets in his hand, with a normal expression.
”There’s a nice assignment for you.” The cloaked and ungloved Danez lifted his chin and grinned.
Anderson looked the opposite pirate up and down a few times and tsked:
”You seem to be very proud ……
”What mission?”
Daniz glanced at Anderson and said:
”Accompany me to Seros Island and assist me in tracking down the whereabouts of the ‘Lieutenant General of Disease.
”Also, help me gather the extraordinary materials that the ‘conspirators’ need, heck, you’ll have to pay for that yourself.”
Anderson nodded thoughtfully:
”So, what’s the payoff?”
The corners of Daniz’s mouth grinned a little, and he said in a stooping gesture:
”A list of auxiliary materials for the ‘Iron Blood Knight’ and a promotion ceremony.”
Anderson didn’t respond, didn’t say a word, and his eyes focused on Daniz for nearly ten seconds.
Then, as if he had become impatient earlier, he brushed off the book in his hand and stood up at once, speaking with a wide smile:
”When will we leave?”
……
Bakerland, East End, inside a certain two-bedroom rental house with the curtains drawn.
Tris, dressed in a long black dress, packed her bags and prepared to transfer to her next hiding spot.
Her slightly rounded face was a little thinner than before, and she had an indescribable beauty beyond her sweetness, as if she wouldn’t be stained even in the dirty and chaotic East End.
Tris did not immediately put on the black suitcase, after looking around, walked to the desk, spread out the letter paper, picked up a pen and wrote:
”Mr. Germaine Sparrow, I have got the information I needed from that head of the palace guard: his real allegiance is to King George III.
”You should understand what that means.
”Next, my goal is to figure out what this king really wants, and for that, I intend to make an enemy of Katrina, the ‘Sage of the White’ of the Cult of the Witch, who surely understands the corresponding secrets.
”She ranks as Sequence 3, an ageless witch, very hard to kill and hard to catch.
”I must admit that I am not strong enough to deal with her on my own, so if you are interested and confident, then we can try to work together.
”You know how to contact me.
”Tris.”
Putting down her fountain pen, Tris folded her letterhead and began to set up the ritual of summoning the Gelman Sparrow messenger.
She didn’t write to this crazy adventurer until now because she was worried that the other party would use the messenger to target her hiding place, and then directly “teleport” over with her helpers to deal a blow, so she waited until she was about to be transferred to make this attempt.
–Although Tris could not be sure what kind of intention Germaine Sparrow had in mind, and could not tell if the other party would suddenly attack her, she was habitually cautious, and chose the process that could best guarantee her safety.
After handing the letter to the messenger, leave this place and wait for Germaine Sparrow to contact me, and try not to meet him until the final start of the action …… also do not know what kind of power he is hiding behind, must be mobilized and utilized as the main focus, and can not be too trusting of him …… This is indeed troublesome, but safe enough …… Tris thought as she ended the busyness of her hands, took two steps back, looked at the candle flame, and chanted in the ancient Hermetic language:
”I!
”I invoke in my name:
”Spirit that wanders in the void, friendly creature to be driven, messenger of Germaine Sparrow alone.”
As soon as she spoke, the candle flame swelled and became unusually pale.
Immediately afterward, a figure stepped out of the candle flame, dressed in a somber, elaborate black dress and carrying four blonde, red-eyed, brightly colored, atmospheric heads.
The eight scarlet eyes on those four heads turned at the same time, and in unison, they turned their gazes on Tris, who was directly across from them.
Tris’s pupils dilated, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying and extraordinary.
