The closest one is a red priest card, but this blasphemy card is very dangerous. After all, the three-color hot pot is about to escape, but it is still the hunter path, which is best at setting traps.
Unless you are willing to make a deal with them, it will be difficult to get the red priest card.
In addition to this card of blasphemy, there is currently the Wheel of Fortune card in Bernadette's hand, and the Temperance card in the hand of the High Dimensional Overlooker.
Bernadette was his favorite, so he would not steal her Wheel of Fortune card.
The High-dimensional Overlooker...is he still chatting with Adam?
Hastur thought for a while and found that it would be difficult for him to get other blasphemous cards for the time being.
"It's not that there is no solution. I can use Russell's diary to help Klein tide over the difficulties and guide him to move forward more smoothly."
Changing his fate is equivalent to paying off the Black Emperor.
The price of the cards.
The situation in Tingen today should have undergone major changes, right?
Hastur thought for a while and then looked at the star where the High-dimensional Overlooker was. He was still chatting with Adam, but the place of chatting had changed.
From inside the church, come to the open space outside the church, facing the sky full of stars, chatting about the stars and the sea.
"He's so talkative. He doesn't take a break most of the night."
After observing for a while, Hastur logged off and left the Hall of Stars.
……
the next day.
The theft of the Russell Memorial Exhibition attracted the attention of the Archbishop of the Backlund District of the Church of Steam and Machinery, Horamik Haydn.
"Are you sure only one bookmark was stolen?"
"Yes, we have re-checked and it is true that only one bookmark was stolen."
While answering the questions, the members of the Machinery Heart took out a blank bookmark and drew the pattern of last night's bookmark on it.
Horamick Haydn stared at the bookmark for a moment and sighed.
He already understood what the bookmark was.
The Card of Blasphemy, one of the twenty-two tarot cards created by Russell.
If he guessed correctly, the blasphemy card that was stolen last night should be the Black Emperor card.
Team leader Max Livermore asked respectfully: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, what should we do?"
"Don't make any announcement, just investigate slowly and secretly."
Horamik Haydon's face did not show any reproach, but was kind and encouraging, so that the members of the Heart of Machine team who were on duty last night did not have to blame themselves too much.
In fact, in his heart, he already had a questionable candidate.
Bernadette.
Russell's eldest daughter, now the mysterious queen of the sea.
Some time ago, Bernadette had been staying in Backlund and also came here to visit.
She is also the one most likely to see through the disguise of the blasphemous card.
Last night, she quietly took away the blasphemy card without hurting anyone, which was also in line with her style.
But one thing is strange. There is information that Bernadette should be returning to the sea now. Why did she suddenly turn back to Backlund to take this blasphemous card?
If you want to find out the truth about last night, you can ask Arrods.
Horamik Haydn already had an idea in his mind, but when he thought of the evil taste of that mirror, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Finally, he looked at Max Livermore and said with a smile: "As the captain of this team, there is one thing you need to do."
"At your command, Your Majesty the Archbishop!"
Max Livermore lowered his head, looking extremely respectful and ashamed.
His team made a mistake last night, and he has been looking for opportunities to make amends.
"Very well, it's up to you to ask Arrods the question."
"what!"
Max Livermore suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of panic, but in the end he had to bite the bullet and agreed.
Chapter 151 Arosd’s Quiz Game
"Mirror, Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
This is a classic passage from Russell's fairy tale.
When this fairy tale became popular, it became the dream of many people to have a magical mirror that could ask various questions and answer all questions.
Arrodes is such a magic mirror.
Of course, it is still slightly different from the magic mirror in fairy tales.
It likes the principle of equivalence. If you ask it a question, it will ask you a question in return. Adhering to the principle of honesty, if you lie, you need to accept a certain punishment.
Sounds fair, well, that's just how it sounds.
When members of the Heart of Machinery brought over an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns and eyes decorated with black gemstones on both sides.
Max Livermore, who had always been anxious, had a wry smile on his face, but in the end he gritted his teeth and came to the magic mirror.
Arrodes, a living sealed artifact 2-111.
It possesses extremely high wisdom and can answer the holder's questions through revelation and information obtained from the spiritual world. Similarly, it will also ask the holder to answer a question.
"Dear Arolds, my question is, who sneaked into the Russell Memorial Exhibition last night and stole a bookmark?"
Max Livermore calmed down and finally asked his first question.
Circles of water light rippled on the surface of the silver mirror, and soon a picture appeared in the water light: a sky full of twinkling stars.
Other than that, there is no other useful information.
What kind of answer is this?
Max Livermore looked confused, and the team members beside him also didn’t understand what this scene symbolized. Even His Excellency the Archbishop, who was standing silently aside, looked surprised.
Before Max Livermore could figure this out, a few lines of ancient Fussac words appeared on the silver mirror:
"Based on the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions."
"If you answer incorrectly or lie, you will be punished."
The word "punishment" is as red as blood, even dripping with liquid.
Max Livermore's facial expression first twitched, and then became extremely solemn.
Immediately afterwards, the water on the mirror surface floated, and a new line of text appeared.
"Do you like women who are much older than you?"
Max Livermore's face froze, and the teammates around him also cast curious looks.
Finally, he forced his numb scalp and nodded: "Yes."
Just when he thought it was finally over, His Excellency the Archbishop called him away. After a few words of explanation, he came to the magic mirror with heavy steps.
He took a deep breath, showed a look of death, and reached out to touch the surface of the silver mirror three times.
After a two-second pause, he asked in a deep voice: "Dear Arrods, my question is, is the person who came last night still in Backlund?"
"Yes."
The short answer made Max Livermore feel nervous again.
Soon, a new line of text appeared on the surface of the silver mirror.
"What's your favorite part of your partner's body?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Max Livermore
Then she answered with red cheeks: "Toes."
This time his teammates turned sideways, probably not wanting him to see the uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
At this point, he simply broke the jar and asked the third question: "Who are the apostles of the stars?"
The surface of the silver mirror flashed with light, and a sea appeared. A ship only had time to reveal a small part of its hull, and the scene was quickly obscured by a starry sky.
No one noticed that the silver mirror's light was much dimmer than it was at the beginning.
"Where did you spend the night the night before yesterday?"
Max Livermore's expression was completely stunned, and all nearby members of the Machinery Heart cast their gazes over.
Because their captain is married.
……
In the gray sky of Backlund, no matter how dazzling the sun's rays are, it is difficult to penetrate through the layers of gray fog to reach the ground. Only some weak points can enjoy the treatment of sunshine.
Hastur sat on the balcony, bathing in the breeze, flipping through the information in his hands.
This is the relevant information about the investment project that Neil Butler searched for.
He plans to select projects and industries suitable for investment from them.
I read it from beginning to end and circled the projects I was more optimistic about.
In order to ensure that the investment would not be lost, he was going to verify each project.
Head to the Hall of Stars and use your ability to peer into destiny to try and see what the future holds for these projects.
Of course, no matter how good a project is, success may not be guaranteed.
Sometimes it may be a problem with the project leader.
After marking, Hastur put the information on the table, took a sip of the fruit drink on the side, and then began to think about how to bribe Earl Hall.
As for Duke Negan, after the last Qilingos incident, the situation is basically stable.
