The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 408's

Dorian pulled the curtain, shrouding the office in darkness before she sat down.

He held the crystal ball in his left hand while touching the top with his right palm. As he stroked the crystal ball back and forth, he continued to chant the spell gently.

Slowly, the radiant point of light within the crystal ball began to shine increasingly brighter, becoming increasingly clear, as if the stars in the night sky were emitting its reflection.

Often used to determine the direction of fate, the stars in the trajectory of one's life appear one after another, forming a three-dimensional astrolabe with many revelations from the spirit world that resemble symbols.

Dorian Gray finally stopped and studied it.

He did not lie ... It was really the trajectory of the situation ... He seemed able to bring change to the Abraham family — optimistic change ... As the light from the crystal ball dimmed, Dorian stood up, after making his decision. the mind.

At lunch, at the Four-Winged Bird restaurant.

In front of Fors lay a fillet of fried fish sprinkled with rosemary on it. His skin was crisp, his flesh was fresh, and his bones were nothing smooth. It was rather tasty, but the only problem was that the cook had a very distorted aesthetic taste. He deliberately made the fish eyes protrude out of his head, and by coating his food, he made the fish look up, as if expressing his anger over his death.

Fors pushes the head down, cuts the tail, and covers the upside-down eye.

At that moment, Dorian Gray started moving his fork and knife while casually saying, “Aulisa is very fond of mysticism and has done research in this field. When you pack his things, do you see any books, notes, or other stuff? ”

“There are several notebooks and books,” Fors replied frankly. “As a result, I became a fan of mysticism, but unfortunately, I was unable to understand some content at all.”

For example, the Scenes in the Spirit World. Not only was it absurd, illogical, and messy, unable to express an idea, even if I forced myself to read it and systematically appeased my impatience, it was still hard to remember its contents. I will forget it once I finish reading it, let alone understand it. Fors added inwardly.

Dorian nodded slightly and laughed.

“Then you can consult me. I am also a fan of mysticism, quite proficient if I may add. ”

"Thul? That's great!" Fors answered correctly.

Seeing that she was really interested, Dorian immediately turned the topic of conversation to mysticism. Sometimes he would talk about the spirit world, and sometimes he would talk about his Cogitation experience. After being groomed even before he stepped into the restaurant, he deliberately chose a secluded and quiet place. Therefore, he had nothing to fear that the customers around them would hear their conversation.

At the end of lunch, Dorian offered, “I don't know how to express my gratitude, but now I don't have to worry anymore. Heh heh, even though Lawrence has paid you, I don't think that's enough to match your kindness, kindness, and honor.

"MST. Wall, you can write me a letter and ask me any questions you have about mysticism. At least that's what I can do to express my gratitude.”

“That's what I want.” Fors did not refuse.

From that conversation, he could clearly tell that Dorian Gray had a rich and systematic knowledge of mysticism. He was worthy of being a member of the ancient Abrahamic family.

This is also considered as a lack of it. Although he had mastered quite a bit of knowledge about the Beyonder world, it all came from some books and notebooks that did not go deep, as well as random information he had. heard and experienced from the various meetings he attended. It was not comprehensive enough or systematic enough, and there were too many flaws.

Upon hearing his reply, Dorian lifted her cup and smiled.

“I hope someday, we will also have mysterious and extraordinary powers.”

…

North Borough of Backlund. Saint Samuel Cathedral.

A group of men wearing black jackets and red gloves entered the underground area. The leader was a man in his forties with soft facial features and long hair.

Wearing an overbearing hat, he carried a black scepter inlaid with gold. He quietly followed the Nighthawk in the lead and entered a rather spacious room.

There were many bookshelves in the room, with various files placed on it. A dazzlingly beautiful woman dressed in a black robe with blue eyeshadow and blush was sitting leisurely in a high back seat. He did not wake up to welcome her. It was the former Spirit Medium, Daly.

“Soest, all the information you need is there.” Daly pointed with his chin to the table by the door.

The middle-aged man named Soest smiled and said, “Daly, why were you sent to guard this place? you have to be tasked with more important things. ”

“No, this is what I want. I need to calm down and read more information.” Daly laughed a little. “This is to ease my future progress. Humans are fragile creatures, and they take a certain amount of time to calm down. No one is always in peak condition, enjoying sensation and pleasure without rest.”

“... Your style really never changes. Unfortunately, you never gave me a chance. ” Soest laughs out loud.

Daly shook his head seriously and said, “Obviously, you don't understand me. My current hobby has become more recent. If you can turn yourself into a rotten corpse or expose your white bones, then I will definitely be interested in you.”

He turned to look at the "Red Gloves" behind Soest. “Leonard, why did you choose to join his team? This person was arrogant, arrogant, and had no guts. He continued to fantasize that the woman would take the initiative to crawl into bed, waiting for him. To be honest, maybe this is the unique nature of Nightmare?”

When he mentions "Nightmare," Daly seems to stop.

Leonard helplessly said, "Mrs Daly, this is the arrangement of Her Highness Cesimir."

“Byukah... I can see that you agree with my view of Soest,” Daly concluded in a slightly hoarse voice.

Fortunately, the Soul Assurer Soest did not pay much attention to Daly's words. Walking to a table full of information, he retrieved the file and flipped through it. Leonard and the others immediately surrounded him, imitating their leader.

After the paper voice flipped through for some time, Soest casually asked, “What's new in Backlund recently? Something you think is worth paying attention to. ”

Daly's eyes moved slightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "Some of the Beyonder who work with us have delivered the news that many people are looking for organizations that believe in The Fool, and they have given the appropriate honorific names …"

After describing the honorary name of The Fool in Loen, he chuckled.

“It looks like I witnessed the birth of an entirely new cult. Of course, that might be the incarnation of an old friend.

“What do you think, Soest?”

Soest considered the matter seriously before saying, “No, I have never heard of such an organization.”

At that moment, Leonard looked up from the file he was reading and mused, “Is it possible that this has something to do with the two tarot rituals we are investigating?

“The Fool is the first card in a deck of tarot cards, the most important Major Arcana card!”

Daly froze for a moment, then he nodded while thinking.

“That's an interesting idea.

“But there is no proof. It was purely speculation, and could not even be considered a deduction,” Soest said in a disapproving tone.

Leonard revealed a faint smile and said, "Emperor Roselle once said to make a bold hypothesis and then carefully support it."

…

Hillston Borough, Quelaag Club.

As soon as Klein entered the hall after leaving the Harvest Church, he saw the equestrian teacher, Talim Dumont, sitting in a remote corner, seemingly thinking of something.

Realizing that lunch was still a long time away, Klein approached her and greeted her with a smile.

“Good day, Talim. You seem to be having another problem? ”

Talim regained his senses in shock and hurriedly shook his head.

“No, no.”

you seem to have done something that makes you feel guilty? Klein muttered, sat down, and laughed.

"Honey Aaron and Mike aren't here, otherwise we'll have another nice afternoon."

Talim smiled in response.

“They are all busy and have little free time.”

Without waiting for Klein to speak, he looked around and said, “Sherlock, there is an important figure who is very interested in you after hearing about your actions. He wants to meet you. Are you ready?

“To be frank, this makes me envious. It's a very rare opportunity.”

Wait, what did I do? Help Miss Mary catch her adulterous husband? Accompanying Reporter Mike to the brothel? Even in my last few trips to the East Borough, I didn't do anything impressive. At best, they would know that I contributed to the serial killings and that I was helping Dr. Aaron resolves his nightmare by giving him advice .. Klein is confused.

After two seconds, he suddenly understood the reason.

The important figure must have asked Talim if he knew about a great detective, and he could only think of me, so he offered to embellish a description of me that sounded quite impressive, she said, like the real person who solved the case behind the serial murder. , the one who noticed that Madam Mary's ex-husband and her lover had been trying to siphon funds from the Coim Company. I might be described as an effective and sharp person, a great detective who strikes quickly and precisely.

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Sorry, Talim. But as a detective, I have my own principle, which is not to get involved in things that involve important characters. On the stage of the higher-ups, what might have been a sneeze-like friction between them might have been an unbearable disaster for me.

"i'm not going to paint a target on my back, so I'm not going to see this important figure."

This was actually something Klein had decided on before he became a detective.

She was vulnerable to investigation once she got involved with high society; therefore, before she became a Faceless, she was unwilling to bear such risks.

“... You are very rational.” Talim sighed and said, "An important figure had anticipated this reaction and believed that such a detective was even more trustworthy, he said, so he's hoping you take a commission that won't involve high society."

“What kind of commission?” Klein asked.

Talim chuckled and said, “Capim Case that you and Mike talked about last time. The important figure is very interested in organizations that use tarot cards. He said that there is more than one such case and hope you find relevant clues.”
