Roman looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist, stabilized his mood slightly, saluted slowly, and asked: "Excuse me, sir, where is this place? What do you want to do?"
Roman decided to play the role of an ordinary transcendent being pulled into a mysterious space by a great being, showing some tension and awe at the right time.
Klein watched as the color of the man's emotions in front of him changed from fear and excitement to blue that now represents calm thinking. He felt that this man's emotional changes were quite normal.
He leaned back, crossed his hands, and replied in Hermes in a leisurely and relaxed manner: "You can call me the Fool, as for what I want to do," Roman heard the man shrouded in gray mist.
The figure seemed to chuckle, "I summoned you here after hearing your prayer."
"Fool..." Roman opened his mouth and recited the word silently. As if he suddenly thought of something, he made a slightly frightened gesture and lowered his head: "Please forgive me for being rude."
Is there anything special about the word "fool"? Why does it sound like you know something when you hear this word?
Klein was confused, but he didn't ask. Instead, he said with a slight chuckle: "I just heard you call you 'Antigonus'?"
Roman's plan for himself was to be an image of a person with a low rank but possessing some scattered occult knowledge, so Roman pretended to be slightly hesitant and said: "Yes, I got a notebook.
It seems to mention Abraham, Tamara, and Antigonus."
Roman thought that anyway, the divination result said that it was related to Antigonus, so he would directly say that Antigonus was mentioned in it without fear of being exposed.
"Although this notebook is written in ancient Hermetic script, reading it for a long time will make me feel irritable and even cause hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. It was during an auditory hallucination that I heard 'Antigonus'
', so I want to divine the origin of this notebook. You know, the ancestor Antigonus was once known as half a 'fool'."
Having said this, Roman pretended to raise his head slightly, as if to observe the figure in the gray mist, and then suddenly lowered his head.
This is a "test" that Roman has thought up that fits his character. For an extraordinary person with a lot of mystical knowledge, when he comes to a strange environment and faces a mysterious and powerful person, it is reasonable for him to do a little testing.
The content of "testing" is "half-fool". Roman wants to pretend that he is testing whether the person in front of him is the ancestor of the Antigonus family.
I believe Klein can also see this.
Klein did understand the temptation of the black-haired man in front of him.
Does he suspect that I am the ancestor of the Antigonus family? The ancestor of the Antigonus family with whom I have a deep entanglement is actually called "Half Fool", and I also call myself "Half Fool" above this gray fog.
"The Fool", is there any internal connection between this? Then where is this gray fog? The legacy of the ancestor of the Antigonus family? It is because of inheriting this "legacy" that I became friends with Antigonus.
Did the notes of the Gonus family create a mysterious connection? Or did you obtain this "legacy" because of this note?
Klein's heart was full of doubts because of Roman's words, but it was obviously not consistent with his status to ask in detail directly, so he said in a rather relaxed tone: "Half a fool?"
When Roman saw that Klein was as expected, he breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and said, "That is a title I accidentally got in some ancient documents of the Fourth Age. Please forgive me."
ignorance."
The Fourth Age...Half Fool...
Klein, who had just received some information from Mr. "The Hanged Man" at the Tarot meeting, knew that Antigonus was an ancient family that could even be traced back to before the Fourth Age, and was related to the second "Desecrated Slate"
"related.
The period when the Antigonus family was more active was the Fourth Age. They supported the establishment of the Tudor Empire. Among the ancient surnames just mentioned by "The Hanged Man" was the "Abraham" that the man in front of him just mentioned.
, as for the other "Tamara", I have never heard of it.
Klein was very curious about the notebook that contained many ancient surnames, but he did not show it. Instead, he said calmly: "I will not punish you for this kind of thing."
"Praise for your tolerance." After hearing this, Roman raised his head slightly and looked at the figure wrapped in gray mist. Roman thought about how to join the Tarot Club.
Suddenly, Roman had an idea.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I want to avoid encountering those hallucinations and auditory hallucinations when I read that notebook in the future. I don't know what I have to pay to gain your protection?" Roman said with his head lowered.
Klein sounded a little embarrassed. What, asylum? I died once when I was reading the Antigonus Family Notes. How can I protect you?
Hearing this, he wanted to refuse. But Klein changed his mind and said with a chuckle: "It sounds like a very dangerous notebook. You need to accumulate enough contributions."
Roman asked: "Excuse me, what do I have to pay?"
Is this also a kind of temptation? Testing my purpose? Or even judging me, the "Fool", by whether the things I need are ancient and bloody? Or does this man dare to trade with the "evil god" for power and knowledge?
Klein thought in his mind and said calmly: "I am a fool who likes equal exchange. I can give you a chance. You can use your knowledge and ability to get you from me and other people similar to you.
What you want, mind you, must be of equal value.”
"I will try my best to collect valuable things to exchange for your protection," Roman said, bowing his head and saluting, "I praise your generosity. You just mentioned other people similar to me?"
As Roman said, he seemed to have just noticed that there were many seats around the long bronze table.
Klein smiled relaxedly and said:
"Several people similar to you were dragged in here by me for various reasons."
"They hope that I can hold regular gatherings to trade formulas, buy and sell materials, exchange news, and delegate tasks."
"I promised them."
This is what Roman was waiting for, and he asked in a slightly excited tone: "Mr. Fool, can I attend this party?"
"Okay, every Monday at three o'clock in the afternoon, eliminate distractions."
Klein showed several playing cards on the long bronze table and said: "They decided to use the names of Tarot cards as their respective codes. You can choose one, but you have to exclude 'Justice' and 'The Hanged Man' who already have owners.
'."
Roman looked at the cards that suddenly appeared on the long mottled bronze table, thought for a moment, and picked up one.
