"Calling Carol Soren to attend a tarot session would do more harm than good to me right now."
After taking off the citrine pendant made of gray mist, Klein silently recited the divination sentence he designed.
Clockwise!
Indicates that the divination statement is correct!
"Huh~"
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, his pressure suddenly reduced.
We often say that when tossing a coin, the focus is often not on the answer, but on your inner thoughts at the moment of throwing it. Klein is actually the same. Just looking at the divination sentences he designed, it is obvious that he already has a tendency.
Fortunately, the divination results were consistent with his subconscious expectations.
"Well, if what Mr. 'Emperor' said is true, the Secret Order actually doesn't have much spying value, so contacting Miss Sauron is not critical to me... And there is Mr. 'Emperor'
With this relationship, even if she does not join the Tarot Society, I can still get her help through Mr. Emperor.
"Compared to it, luring her into the Tarot Society and the possibility of 'The Fool' being exposed are secondary. As a demigod in the adjacent path, she may have a certain impact on the gray fog... This kind of potential risk is
It’s the most deadly!”
Klein was very clear-headed and was not dazzled by the help of Carol, a demigod.
Then, his face turned bitter:
"But how should I face Mr. Emperor in this case?"
After all, he was the one who boasted... If he puts all the blame on "The Fool" and lies that it is "The Fool" who disagrees with Carol's joining, it will appear that "The Fool" is too guilty, facing a neighbor
Sequence 4 has no confidence, and it is difficult to match the previous true god's personality.
Shaking his head, Klein temporarily put this trouble behind him.
Just when he was about to continue divination about Kaping, something suddenly happened in his heart:
"Calling Miss Sharon to participate in the Tarot Club has more advantages than disadvantages for me now."
Still clockwise!
"Um?"
Klein's eyes widened and he was greatly surprised.
Although the two parties have not had much contact yet, Klein has roughly guessed from some details that Sharon and Maric belong to the same organization, their backgrounds are unclear, and they are facing the pursuit of hostile demigods——
Otherwise, at Sharon's level, she probably wouldn't be tempted by her mere thousand-pound commission.
Such a complicated situation often means great trouble, so although he covets Sharon's strength and background, he is not at all optimistic about getting her into the Tarot Society.
Thinking about the reason, Klein hesitated.
In the spirit world, next to the huge castle, Reinette Tinichole, wearing a complicated long dress and carrying four heads, suddenly felt something in her heart. One of her heads made a light "Eh", and the four heads came together in a strange way.
Said to himself:
"Destiny... has had... twists and turns, but... the result... is still... the same!"
The spirit world has access to the past and future, so although the path she is on has nothing to do with "destiny", as a high-level "revenant soul", Reinette still gets some inspiration from it.
At the same time, Gray Linte was still having an affair with "Eudora" in a rented house in Hillston District.
The two took a first taste of the forbidden fruit, so they learned the taste after eating the marrow. Recently, they often have trysts in a rented house...
Carol is actually fine. Although she is parasitic in Eudora's spirit body and is inevitably affected to a certain extent, she is a high-sequence extraordinary person with a small amount of divinity after all. It is not a big deal to suppress those desires and emotions.
Too difficult.
What's even more difficult is Gray Lint. Although his spiritual body has reached the top of the world and has reached the top level of the past, his body is only Sequence 5 after all. He has surging desires and surging emotions...if he doesn't use it.
The fourth section of "Althuhod's Pen" or "Yuno's Oath" cannot be suppressed at all.
But then again, why should he restrain his desires and suppress his emotions?
He used to be aloof and aloof in the past, but he was willing to "fall" and go through the acting path of the sequence path. Isn't it just to wash away the madness and retain his humanity?
At the moment, on the one hand, he benefited from his spiritual body and the "ordered world", and his unique affinity with the "Black Emperor" path. On the other hand, he benefited from his outstanding performance, digesting the magic potion, and washing away his crazy behavior extremely smoothly.
Then another direction of his efforts is to retain his humanity!
"From this aspect, I really have to thank Adam... Haha!"
Smiling to himself, Gray Linte sighed secretly in his heart:
"pity……"
It's a pity that he is the old man after all, and his spiritual body has never been lost. Moreover, the spiritual body fragments of the "New Son of Chaos" are scattered everywhere in the "World of Order". Whenever he is promoted, they will return to the main body.
.This cannot be said to be without benefits. After all, they have been completely integrated with the "World of Order". The return of these spiritual body fragments means that Gray Lint will deepen his control over the "World of Order"...
But on the other hand, every time he gets a promotion, his originally weak human nature and emotions will be diluted and diluted again by the extraordinarily powerful spirit body - this is actually not the case in the middle and low sequences.
It's too obvious. After all, the extraordinary characteristics of these two levels do not contain divinity. No matter how diluted and diluted, he only has human nature and no divinity.
However, once he is promoted to high sequence...
The huge spirit body will once again greatly dilute his humanity. At the same time, although the proportion of the saint's divinity in the spirit body is not too high, it will bring an extremely strong impact to the already very weak humanity.
As a person born in a high position, as the true "Lord of Order", acting and digesting magic potions has never been the core job of Gray Lint. Suppressing divinity is.
"Sequence 4, the initial awakening of divinity, should be my most critical promotion... If I only focus on digesting magic potions and give up on retaining humanity, I will probably follow the path of Adam, right? However, he still has the fusion of the 'True Creator'
This card can restore part of humanity, but I have no choice."
Looking at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms, Gray Linte's eyes were dark.
Are emotions and humanity important to the "old days" and to the "rulers"? No, not at all!
"But it is the most important thing to me! Once I have it, I am never willing to give it up... If I lose my emotional memory, 'Gray Linte' or 'Zhong Jianshu'
Personality ceases to exist...then, am I still me?"
This question probably involves the philosophical definition of "person", which Gray Lint couldn't think through clearly, but as a "Zhong Jianshu" personality, he never thought of giving up those things.
A "person" has a body, a soul, consciousness... multiple levels.
The current Gray Lint's body is Gray Lint, his soul is the "New Son of Chaos", his conscious personality is "Zhong Jianshu", and his memory, emotions and way of thinking... these are what he uses to calibrate himself.
Things, they all point to "Zhong Jian Shu" without a doubt.
"Oh, although there is 'consciousness' as the leader and as the basis for anchoring myself...but I am actually an unprecedented kind of 'chaos'!"
"Click..."
Thinking of some things that were not there, Gray Lint's consciousness suddenly jumped to a high level, and then fell back to the main body, and the sound of shattering illusory things sounded in his ears.
The first "Chaos Tutor" was completely digested.
The corner of Gray Linte's mouth curled up.
Although he clearly did not associate his consciousness with the characteristics of the "Duke of Entropy", his eyes suddenly became dark and deep...
Creating chaos and profiting from it is the first and shallowest role of the "Chaos Mentor"; leading chaos and taking advantage of the situation is the second and middle-level role of the "Chaos Mentor"; becoming chaos, but yet
Taking the lead and not getting lost because of it is the core role of the "Chaos Mentor".
…………
The next day is Monday again.
Gray Lint made an appearance at MI9 as usual, and then ushered in the afternoon "Tarot Session".
"I have to attend Isla's dinner party tonight...well, I'm actually not particularly free."
After confirming the party with Earl Hall, he no longer had any excuse to refuse many regular dinners, dances, salons, etc. These are necessary social interactions for a nobleman.
"By the way, I should also plan the dinner party."
It is best to do it before setting the reward, so as not to appear too proud or arrogant, nor to make some guests with lower status feel "clinging".
Before, Klein mentioned that he wanted to recruit Carol into the Tarot Club, but there was no follow-up... Gray Lint roughly guessed that he must have thought deeply, or after divination, he felt that it was not appropriate... As for
It was impossible for him to directly pull Carol without going through Gray Lint - after all, Carol did not have any special items used to connect to the Origin Castle, nor was she a rookie Beyonder like Xio and Foles.
He can chant the names of gods of unknown origin using language that leverages the power of nature.
Some regrets.
When it comes to building a relationship with the "mystery" in the future, Gray Lint feels that Carol is more necessary than himself.
But it doesn't matter, after all, as long as he is here, Klein can't run away.
…
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
As usual, Audrey's brisk greeting with a rising tone kicked off the Tarot session.
At the same time, she looked at the "Emperor" directly opposite with a little curiosity. Now she knew that it was Gray Lint.
There are no new faces.
Although he was not expecting Carol, Gray Linte still looked around quickly. He expected that "Magician" Miss Foles would be the one who participated in the recent tarot meetings.
Strangely, Miss "Justice" immediately looked at Mr. "Emperor"... They obviously didn't have any business recently? And they are not mutual, no, it's Miss "Justice" who doesn't like Mr. "Emperor" a little bit, isn't it? Haha
"Emperor" Mr. Gray Lint looked around. Is he looking for someone? Uh... he's not looking for Miss Sauron, right? "The Fool"... or the "mystery" above the sequence, it seems that it should be
If you can get past him and recruit people directly...
Going up to the top, Klein looked at the little actions of the two people at the front, and felt a little guilty for some reason.
Finding nothing, Gray Linte greeted the members, looked back at Audrey, and quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
After greeting each other, the little "Sun" was the first to speak to the dummy "The World".
Klein operated "The World" and smiled in his usual hoarse and deep voice:
"This is a very fair deal."
Derrick nodded, feeling deeply that the Tarot Club was held so wonderfully. He used a "psychoanalyst" formula that could be easily obtained in Silver City, as well as some myths, from "The Fool",
Mr. "World" exchanged the formulas for the "Songer" and "Light Prayer" magic potions, as well as an extraordinary weapon that suited him... He simply helped Mr. "Emperor" transfer a magical item, and then directly
Obtained the extraordinary characteristics that directly reach Sequence 5!
At present, the only debt he owes on the surface is some mythological knowledge to "The Fool".
However, Derrick is the truly honest kid among the five people here. He feels that he has not helped Mr. "Emperor" at all, so he deserves those five characteristics that he has carefully revealed, and he owes Mr. "Emperor" a lot...
…
"I have successfully been promoted to Sequence 8 'Light Prayer'."
He spoke to the members of the Tarot Club quite calmly.
Neither showing off nor being proud, just stating a simple fact.
Klein, Graylingt:
"..."
This kid...
Audrey raised the corners of her mouth and said proudly:
"Congratulations, Mr. Sun. Of course, you can also congratulate me."
Derrick was pleasantly surprised:
"Have you been promoted to Sequence 7? Miss Justice."
With the most elegant smile, Audrey nodded slightly:
"Thanks to your help."
She was referring to the magic potion formula, which kind of corroborated what little "Sun" said.
Graylingt, Klein:
"..."
Alger's pupils shrank, truly surprised by the promotion of the two Tarot Club members.
"Sun" joined the Tarot Club just over a month ago, and he has already leapt from an ordinary person to Sequence 8!
Miss Justice is even more exaggerated. When we first met, she was clearly a Sequence 9 who had not even digested the potion. In less than three months, she was promoted to Sequence 8 and completed the role.
, catching up with herself! Taking a step back, even if she had completed the digestion of Sequence 9 at that time, she had just been promoted to Sequence 7 now, and it would be less than three months since she completed Sequence 8!!
Alger has truly worked his way up from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8 step by step. No one here understands the hard work and hardship involved better than him.
This is the beauty of the "acting method"!
He sighed leisurely to himself, feeling a little regretful but also extremely happy, and at the same time congratulated in a deep voice:
"Congratulations, Miss Justice and Mr. Sun."
Without waiting for the two protagonists to express their thanks, or for Gray Lint and Klein to express their congratulations, Alger felt inexplicably a little more anxious when he saw that the members of the Tarot Society who were originally inferior to him were making great progress.
Lint said:
"Mr. Emperor, can you fulfill the second half of our previous deal?"
Mr. "The Hanged Man" is also going to be promoted?
Klein, Audrey, and Derrick were all stunned, and then quickly recovered and looked at Alger with a little surprise... The qualitative change points of low-sequences in different paths are different, but no matter what
In this way, Sequence 6 is a standard mid-sequence. Now that it has mysteriously retired, it can be called a quasi-powerful existence.
Except for Gray Lint, who is mysterious and seems to be a Sequence 5 guy right from the start, this is the first person in the Tarot Club to be promoted to the Sequence in a serious way!
Alger was promoted so quickly?
Gray Linte frowned, and just when he was about to ask, "The Hanged Man" Alger met the looks of several people, secretly feeling very helpless.
His acting talent is not particularly outstanding, and because he is backed by the church, the potion digestion speed is actually not as fast as the members of the Tarot Society think... Then why is he in such a hurry to let Gray Lint crush the "Storm of the Wind"?
What about "Dance"? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for a while and then crush it before promotion?
In fact, Alger had no choice. He happened to come across the "Wind Blessed One" formula at a recent pirate gathering - of course he had no reason to miss this kind of thing. Medium-sequence potion formulas often require
It depends on luck.
If you want it, buy it if you want it!
It's a pity that it doesn't work, Alger has no money...
One of his main materials for Sequence 7 was obtained from Audrey in a three-way transaction using the information of "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos. It can be said that it cost no money. Not only that, Gray Lint also gave him an extra
He paid him a thousand pounds... During that time, Alger was actually very wealthy. After all, unlike other sailors, he had such bad habits as gambling and whoring, and he had been promoted very slowly before, so he saved up a lot of money.
made a fortune.
And all this wealth was robbed by Glerint's "Dance of the Wind".
5,000 pounds was not that much to Gray Lint, but it was actually an extremely considerable amount of wealth. Not only did Alger spend all his savings, he even used his original magical items and part of his real estate...
…This resulted in his wealth directly bottoming out. In addition to not owing any foreign debt, he had already reached the point where he had to consider the price of spiritual materials when performing a sacrificial ceremony to the “Fool”!
However, Gray Lint did not trick him. The market price of a sequence 6 magical item would be over 5,000 pounds if its characteristics were removed and sold.
Alger also considered that he would have an extra set of "Sailor", "Rageful People" and "Navigator" characteristics. If he sold it, he would not only make no loss but also make a profit, so he readily agreed to the transaction. But.
If he kept "Dance of the Wind" in his hand, he really wouldn't be able to afford the formula.
The formula must not be missed, so Alger thought for a long time and borrowed an interest-bearing loan from a trustworthy Beyonder. He first bought the "Wind Blessed One" formula and planned to ask Gray Lint to crush the "Dance of the Wind" in time.
", and then sold the three features that I couldn't use to repay the money.
As for sales, Alger has no worries. He has been active at sea all year round. Due to the low-sequence characteristics of the "Sailor" route, he can even compare prices among three companies and choose the most expensive one to sell.
That's why the above scene happened.
It's a pity that he fell behind Audrey and Derrick, two guys who had just completed their promotion, which caused misunderstanding among all the members.
