So the next day, the map appeared in Leonard's office and fell into Leonard's hands smoothly. The mysterious black figure did indeed use it to find Leonard, which happened to fall into the hands of the yellow-clothed monk. Inside the trap that the soldiers had already laid.
This is what has happened so far.
Everything went smoothly, except that Leonard suffered a little bit, but who made him pretend to be a believer in the stars in the first place, this time he should take it as his apology.
As for the ancient outer god outside the starry sky, Hastur has roughly understood the power he holds.
His authority involves mystery, destiny, distortion, and corruption.
In addition, the mysterious black shadow appeared in the form of a giant spider with a human face, so Hastur gave it a codename: Spider Goddess Rose.
……
"Mr. Hastur, has everything been resolved?"
On Sunday afternoon, in the garden of a villa in Queens, Hastur was drinking tea and chatting with Audrey, while Susie lay leisurely at Audrey's feet, gently wagging her big golden tail.
"Yes, it's solved." Hasta nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Detective Audrey's wonderful deduction, things went so smoothly."
"really?"
"Of course, I am thinking about how to thank Detective Audrey for her key role in this case."
"And Susie." Audrey mentioned Susie's name, and Susie barked.
"Susie, what other books do you want to read recently?"
Hastur's eyes looked at Susie lying on the ground, but before Susie could stand up to answer, Audrey spoke first: "Mr. Hastur, Susie has been quite greedy recently, you'd better prepare some for her. Delicious food.”
"Is that so? Susie." Hasta gave Susie a look.
"Wow." Susie understood instantly and nodded to acknowledge what Audrey said, trying to fool Audrey first.
Audrey's face broke into a smile and she was in a very good mood. Susie also wagged her tail and was in an equally good mood.
……
Monday, 3pm.
When Leonard finished his daily work and left in the morning, he told the players that he had something to deal with in the afternoon.
Since one o'clock in the afternoon, he has been alone in the bedroom of the house he was assigned, waiting uneasily and glancing at the time on the clock on the wall from time to time.
When the time hand gradually moved towards three o'clock in the afternoon, he closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and lay on the bed waiting for the call of the Fool.
There was nothing unusual, and he suddenly arrived above the gray mist. It was still the long bronze table, and the figure sitting at the head was still the mysterious and ancient Fool.
The only thing that was different from last time was that there were seven more figures around who couldn't clearly see their specific appearance, but they were equally vague as his own.
These should be other Tarot Club members.
There were only seven people, which was less than I expected.
Leonard was a little flustered at first, but quickly calmed down and began to carefully observe other Tarot Society members.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
Audrey also saw that the Tarot Club had a new member this week, and she was very happy to say hello to Mr. Fool and all the Tarot Club companions.
"Mr. Xingxing, a thoughtful
"A delicate and sensitive poet." Klein briefly introduced him.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Star."
"Good afternoon, beautiful lady."
Leonard didn't know how to call the girl greeting him, so he could only use "Ms." instead.
“My tarot card is Justice.”
"Good afternoon, Miss Justice." Leonard immediately changed his title.
Seeing Mr. Xingxing standing straight and tense because he didn't know anyone else, you could vaguely see the embarrassment in his eyes.
Audrey was very enthusiastic about introducing other Tarot Club members to him.
This Miss Justice is such a nice person.
Leonard sighed inwardly, and with Audrey's introduction, he also remembered the code names of other Tarot Club members.
The Hanged Man, the sun, the moon, the world, the magician, the hermit.
"Mr. Fool, these are the three diaries of Emperor Russell that I owed last time."
Cattleya took the initiative to offer three copies of Russell's diaries, and Audrey and Alger each also presented one.
"very good."
Klein began to carefully read through the contents of these five Russell diaries.
Leonard, who had just arrived, saw that everyone suddenly became silent. He also sat upright, without squinting, and his back was straightened out of habit.
This scene fell into the eyes of Audrey, Alger, and Cattleya, and they roughly guessed that he should be an official.
Leonard, who was under the spotlight, tried his best to adjust his breathing and relax his body.
Forsi, Derrick, and Emlyn originally did not set their sights on the new Mr. Star.
Just seeing other people sizing up the newcomer, they started sizing him up too, occasionally showing thoughtful eyes.
It wasn't until Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top, spoke to break the silence that Leonard breathed a sigh of relief.
When entering the free transaction and chat session, Shi Shi, who had always been taciturn, suddenly spoke: "Poet, I once had a poet friend."
That low and hoarse voice made Leonard tremble subconsciously.
"Being Mr. World's friend must not be easy, right?" Audrey answered naturally.
"He was a very trustworthy friend."
After Klein Controlled the World said this, he looked at Leonard specifically, and then stopped talking.
Seeing that the world didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, Audrey said instead: "Some time ago, a mysterious murderer appeared in Backlund. He wrapped three people into cocoons with spider silk and hung them on the Belland Bridge, which caused an uproar. Pay less attention.”
"I've also heard about this case. It seems that the police haven't found the real murderer yet." Forsi continued.
"Oh, instead of believing that those stupid policemen will solve the case, I would rather believe that the homeless man begging on the roadside will fend for himself." Alger sneered.
Leonard frowned subconsciously, and then said in a deep voice: "The mysterious criminal who committed the murder has been brought to justice. The police did not announce it because they did not want to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Is that right?"
Alger let out a soft oh, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked up and down at the new Mr. Star, and had roughly guessed his identity in his mind.
At this time, he subconsciously spoke for the police. It can be seen that he usually represents an official who maintains order and often cooperates with the police. He also chose the star card, which should be a believer of the goddess of the night.
Taken together, if this Mr. Star is not a Nighthawk, he is a further member of the Red Gloves.
Audrey and Cattleya also looked at the new Mr. Star thoughtfully.
The world was expressionless, but Klein almost put his hand on his forehead.
Leonard, Leonard, you just participated in the Tarot Club for the first time, and you have basically revealed all your details.
Chapter 477 Klein: Are you showing off your wealth to me?
Leonard was stunned for a moment when he felt the strange looks from other Tarot Club members, but soon he didn't care much anymore.
He is a believer of the goddess, a member of the Red Gloves, and a party that maintains official order. This is not an unspeakable secret.
"How was the mysterious prisoner solved?"
Audrey asked curiously. Mr. Hastur did not tell her the specific details, but only gave her and Susie a gift each.
"He died on a starry night." Leonard did not reveal anything about the yellow monk.
The topic was soon dropped, and Alger talked about the latest situation in the sea.
At present, there is only one thing in the sea that deserves the most attention, and that is the mysterious Queen Bernadette's preparation to establish a pirate kingdom.
Although many pirates suspected that the mysterious queen was connected to official organizations such as the Church of Storms, there were even more pirates joining in the fun and making noise.
In just over two months, the Mysterious Queen has gathered a lot of pirate forces around her, and they are entrenched near the Rhoside Islands and are building a lot of construction projects, seeming to use them as a base.
The pirates were lively and lively as if they were celebrating the New Year, but the Church of Storms seemed very quiet. They did not do anything about the mysterious Queen's founding of the country, and their laissez-faire attitude was obvious.
"Build a kingdom belonging to pirates." Forsi sighed with emotion. Lord Sage is a believer of the stars. Such a move should also come from the instructions of the stars. I don't know what Mr. Fool thinks about this.
"Very interesting." Mr. Fool chuckled and gave his evaluation in a nonchalant tone.
Cattleya did not express any opinion on this matter and just sat silently in her seat.
After finishing the Tarot session and leaving the gray fog, Leonard opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling above his head. He couldn't help feeling that the Fool's method of attracting people to participate in the Tarot session was too mysterious and difficult to spy on.
"Old man, I have joined the Tarot Club. Today is my first time to attend the Tarot Club."
"very nice."
"Old man, it's rare for you to give me a good evaluation."
"I just think it's an interesting trend."
"What do you mean?"
"You are a believer in the dark night, and you have attracted the attention of the stars. Now you have joined the Tarot Club of Fools."
"..." Leonard felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, "Old man, don't scare me like this."
"I'm just laying out the facts."
"Stop." Leonard couldn't help but trembled, and his face turned pale as he said, "Let's not discuss this issue."
……
In the house at No. 160 Berklund Street, Klein walked out of the bathroom and came to the study.
I took out a pen and paper and drew the topographic map of St. Samuel's Church again, trying to make sure every corner was correct.
A lot of things have happened in Backlund recently, and coupled with the war between the Loen Kingdom and the Feysac Empire, there are not too many people guarding St. Samuel's Church.
As long as you wait patiently for a while, you might have a good opportunity to sneak in.
dong dong dong.
While Klein was concentrating on thinking about how to sneak into St. Samuel Church, the butler’s voice rang out from outside the door.
