Chapter 266 This card game is probably a beautiful thing

549

The dice turned like crazy.

The smooth stone table reflected the newcomer's dull eyes with a hint of speechlessness, as if he had seen through the flashy nature of this world, once again seen through the unreasonableness and madness hidden in the 22 paths to God, and looked down from a transcendent perspective.

With everything he has experienced.

Surrounded by "stealing a sheep while passing by", "dodge", "Trier land deed selling for 2000 to 500 tolls", "fighting evil", "blue-eyed white dragon" and flying chess pieces, Klein gave up.

He learned to think and gradually understood everything except higher mathematics.

When people are forced to do anything, they can do anything except mathematics.

So, when Zaratul said "Choose one?", Klein immediately pointed to the one that seemed to be the easiest.

The dice stopped at 5 o'clock. Klein looked at the hand-painted chessboard in silence for a few seconds and let the plane in his hand take off.

Then, he thought hard: "...Please forgive me for being rude just now. How should I address you?"

The old man on the opposite side sorted out the equally outrageous cards in his hand. He seemed to take Klein's speechlessness as a shock, and was showing off his "Roselle the Great Emperor Card Deck" with great interest.

Klein felt the phantom of his childhood friend squatting on the ground taking cards together appeared in front of him.

When the old man heard this, he stopped displaying his cards and said with a vague smile:

"You can call me, um..."

"Zarath."

Zarath?

grass!

Upon hearing this answer, all the complaints in Klein's mind suddenly disappeared, leaving only a curse word in bold and black.

Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, a descendant of the great nobles of the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Age, the previous owner of the Antigonus Family Notes, the extraordinary path leader of Emperor Russell, a truly high-sequence "divineer" path

, a hidden existence that was already a "Miracle Master" a hundred or two hundred years ago, an angel who was considered by "Magic Mirror" Arrods to have lost control and turned into a monster during the process of being promoted to Sequence 1 "Secret Waiter"!

Regardless of which description this takes, it is currently an unbearable burden for Klein.

"Looking at your reaction, do you know me?" Zaratul chuckled.

Klein changed his mind and said tentatively:

"I've heard of that last name."

This gave him a sense of shock as if the characters in the history textbook jumped out of the textbook and came alive in front of him. He also felt that the air around him seemed to have turned into substance, piling up layer by layer on his body, squeezing his body and blocking his breathing.

.

Klein once imagined that maybe everything he encountered because of Antigonus's notes was due to Zaratul's layout, and he suspected that he was the boss he would eventually face. But now, he met him, and met him in advance.

Up.

Although the Zaratul in front of you may not be the legendary Zaratul himself, after all, this is his surname, and he may be the other party's successor, heir, brother, clansman... But in any case, it is too early!

I'm just a Sequence 5! Klein couldn't help shouting in his heart, and at the same time he doubted whether the other party was really Zaratul.

The old man who called himself Zaratul didn't give him that much time to think, and started talking to himself:

"See that dent in the wall over there?"

Zaratul pursed his lips to the side. Klein was unwilling to be induced by this person who seemed to be a hidden person, but since arriving here, he himself has been constantly looking for ways to get out.

So after waiting for a few seconds, he still looked in the direction indicated by Zaratul.

He looked at the stone statue next to him. The stone statue had a gentle and beautiful face. It was the angel with a dull expression that he had last seen under the church. It was just that the angel's body was similar to that of a human, and there were no more four-striped likeness.

Animal-like arms.

The stone wall behind the stone statue, that is, the back on the other side, does have a hollow that was dug out.

There are short and clumsy symbols painted there one after another, but there is an empty space in the middle, unable to connect and form.

"That piece of obsidian is in my hand. When you need to leave, I will give it to you, and then I will tell you a symbol to open the door. It is the key to open the real door of escape on the wall."

Zaratul said in detail.

A complex special symbol...the key to open the door...As Klein listened to the murmur of "Honakis...Fregera..." echoing in the wind behind him, a symbol suddenly appeared in his mind:

That is a vertical eye composed of many secret symbols!

That was the message that the Antigonus Family Notes conveyed to him by infecting the "Muppets of Doom"!

Klein secretly recalled the sign and looked surprised and incredulous: "If the way to leave is so simple, then why did the previous 'divinationists' fail?"

Zaratul began to laugh again, which made people feel very scheming and annoying if they heard it too much:

"My abilities are limited and I cannot move within the church. It was the last person who left who sent the obsidian to me."

"Before you, some of them were as verbose as you. They didn't have time to leave this church before the red moon became clear, and they were hung up. The guy who gave himself a handsome face was the guy with flawless facial features.

So is the little girl.”

Klein suddenly felt speechless. He glanced upwards. On the ceiling of the tall, dark church, countless marionettes with white eyes faced them and swayed quietly.

Taking a closer look, Klein unexpectedly found that some of the marionettes on it were damaged. This did not mean that the clothes were damaged or the marionette itself was disabled, but that some of the arms seemed to have been torn off with brute force. Since they were marionettes, they were not rotten.

But the dried blood and bones were swaying in the fracture. Some had half of their heads missing, some had bloodstains on their bodies, and some had the same "demon" mutation as Senior - combined with the bloodstains on the outside,

There seems to have been some fighting here.

Also, you should leave immediately when the red moon becomes clear...you must pay careful attention to the situation outside...

Klein frowned and asked calmly:

"The last person to leave?"

Zaratul smiled and deliberately did not answer, but rolled the dice.

Gululu, the dice stopped at 3, and the chess piece in Zaratul's hand still didn't take off this time.

"It's your turn."

He sighed with a hint of well-informed pride: "These chess pieces are called 'airplanes', which are flying instruments. They are obviously not as bulky as hot air balloons like airships, but they can fly higher and faster. Haha,

I really want to know what it looks like when it flies."

Emperor Russell... plagiarized the manuscript... Emperor Russell... plagiarized the manuscript... Emperor Russell...

Klein took the dice and rolled out: "Maybe it's steam power. Is this the idea of ​​Emperor Russell?"

"Haha, maybe so."

Zaratul seemed to have a deeper meaning, and said it as if there was no hint at all.

Klein rolled 5 again - he frowned and chose to take off another plane.

Zaratul rolled again, 4, still 0 progress.

"Young man, it seems you have played this game before?"

After a few rounds, Zaratul's plane finally took off, and he suddenly said: "Is this game very popular in the outside world now?"

Klein responded well prepared: "You just talked about the rules."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot." Charla smiled and teased his memory like an old man, and suddenly spoke again, "You don't seem to be surprised by the 'airplane', and your movements are also very skillful. Young man

It’s so fast to accept new things.”

Klein frowned again: "It's just a chess piece. What it is is not important to me."

Just when Klein began to think about how to respond to his next sentence, Zaratul nodded and said with a subtle smile:

"That's it."

"..."

...What exactly did he want to imply? This tone seemed to accept my answer, but also seemed to just laugh at my cover-up, hesitant to speak clearly...Why do the high-sequence fortune tellers have this kind of virtue! Gram

Ryan felt his fist harden.

Klein suppressed this trace of anger and rolled a dice, which happened to be a 3, knocking back the plane that Zaratul had just left home.

Zaratul raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly:

"After you open the door, the history and destiny of this place will change, and the image I cut will disappear. When the time comes, you will see a jar of ashes."

"I just hope they can be sprinkled into the Serenzo River near Trier, the capital of Intis, which is my hometown and the place where I was born."

Is this a proactive answer to the question "Why do you want to help me?"? I haven't found a chance to ask yet... Klein felt a little less angry, but then he discovered a loophole:

"Since someone left before, why are you still here?"

Zaratul shook his head: "I don't trust him."

He, it was indeed Him, Edward Vaughn... Klein showed a shocked face and acted as if he was shocked by this information. He didn't believe in the devil, but chose to believe in me? Because you can see that I am asking for something from you?

As thoughts swirled, Klein decided to show some greed to make Zaratul lower his evaluation of himself and make the other party think that he wanted something from him, so he could be easily induced.

He said: "I need the formula for 'Cunning Mage' Sequence 4."

Klein has learned through Will Asceptin that the Sequence 4 potion of the "Soothsayer" is called "Cunning Mage". The focus may be on weirdness, cunning, mischief, etc., which is consistent with the way of playing. Therefore, he directly

Saying this name in front of Zaratul implies that the other party knows part of the formula, and it may be incomplete, so don't lie.

Zaratul's posture did not change, and he said as expected:

"The Sequence 4 potion is indeed called 'Cunning Mage'."

"I can give you the formula, as long as you are willing to believe that what I gave is the real formula. After this round, I will give you the obsidian, the opening symbol and the formula of the 'Cunning Mage' together."

"Hey, this is nothing that I need to care about, as long as you can scatter my ashes back to the river in my hometown."

Why are you so obsessed with playing it?

After Klein listened quietly, he couldn't help but say:
To be continued...
