Chapter 192 "Cult"
"Fools?" The Extraordinary people who attended Mr. A's party were either chewing on this word, or whispering to their companions, discussing whether they had met people with similar beliefs.
"When did such a cult appear?" Someone whispered in doubt.
At this time, Mr. A asked the waiter next to him to hold up a blackboard with a few lines of words written in Loen script:
"The fool who is not of this age;
"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;
"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."
While everyone was looking at the blackboard, Mr. A said in a hoarse and uncomfortable voice:
"Don't read the above content in Hermes, even more so in Giant, Elvish, Dragon, and Ancient Hermes, and you can't even use them to write the corresponding descriptions, otherwise there is a high probability that terrible things will happen.
"Help me find those who believe in 'The Fool', of course, they may also follow the 'mysterious master above the gray mist', the 'yellow and black king in charge of good luck', as long as you get a little clue, tell me immediately, I The rewards given will be richer than your imagination!"
"This description... sounds like an amazing existence. I have only seen similar names in the books of the Seven Gods!" A certain party member exclaimed.
His companion shook his head and said:
"Many cult objects will have similar descriptions."
"Really a cult organization?" The other party members blurted out in astonishment when they heard their discussion.
"It should be, generally speaking, the spirit world creatures we summon may also have such three paragraphs of description, but one of them must be 'who and so and so's favor' or similar to 'something that belongs to who and so and so', it will not be This form!" A party member who is proficient in occultism gave a theoretical basis.
While they were exchanging enthusiastically, Forsi was almost dumbfounded there.
Isn't this the honorable name of Mister Fool? Although it is described in Loenese, I can be sure of it without a doubt! Why would Mr. A want to find followers of Mister Fool? Is this the intention of the Aurora Society? Forsi's mind was in a mess.
She knew that Mr. A was a member of the Aurora Society because a "terrorist organization" declared responsibility in a high profile for the assassination of Intis Ambassador Bakerland.
After a short period of astonishment, Forsi subconsciously examined herself, worried that she would be found out that she was already a member of the Tarot Society, a favored "fool" in a certain sense.
I just read Mr. Fool's honorable name according to the ancient Hermes text on that piece of paper, and I was pulled into the gray fog. No one knew about this matter at all, and I was not afraid of investigating it... But the The paper with Mister Fool's honorable name has its source, it is hidden in the books we borrowed from Viscount Grelint... Fors's thoughts flashed.
"A fool who does not belong to this era... Isn't this the description I saw on that piece of paper? I even dreamed of an evil spirit!" At the same time, Xio also remembered the incident that made her feel lingering , but her long experience as a bounty hunter did not expose her to any abnormalities.
Immediately afterwards, she followed the trend and thought about the origin of the paper:
It is hidden in the mezzanine of "The History of the Nobility of the Kingdom of Loen"... "The History of the Nobility of the Kingdom of Loen" was borrowed from Viscount Grelint's study...
Suddenly, a person's name flashed in the minds of Forsi and Xio at the same time:
"Viscount Glaint!"
At this time, Viscount Greint was looking at the blackboard, and said to himself with great interest:
"It's a rare name.
"But it sounds pretty awesome!"
As soon as the words fell, he looked around suspiciously, and said to Forsi and Xio:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing, nothing." Xio and Fors shook their heads at high frequency at the same time.

After dinner, in an elegantly decorated house.
Audrey took Susie, the golden retriever dog, into the living room under the guidance of the psychology teacher Islant. This was the "academic" gathering that was agreed last week.
her maid,
All her bodyguards stayed here, while she and Susie walked towards the spacious living room.
In the living room, for the atmosphere or for some other reason, the gas wall lamps were not lit, and the light in the room was provided by candles supported by several gold-plated lamp holders on the coffee table and cabinet.
Before Audrey had time to observe the environment carefully, she saw a gentleman in his thirties in a gray tuxedo approaching.
"This is the owner of this place, Mr. Stephen Hampres, a furniture merchant." Escalante, who had long hair reaching his waist, introduced.
She was about to talk about Audrey's identity, but Hampres laughed and said:
"Islant, don't talk, give me a chance to guess."
With a neatly trimmed mustache and charming dark brown eyes, he looked very urbane, more like a university lecturer than a furniture dealer.
After taking a serious look at Audrey, he smiled and said:
"Escalante only said that you are her student, hehe, I think you are a well-bred noble lady, and you are not the kind of ostentatious type, you don't have to worry about the decline in the quality of life...
"You're a little excited, you're curious, you're relatively innocent, you're loving...
"Of course, the most obvious thing is that you are very beautiful, like an angel!"
He finally made a joke, then put his hands on his chest, bowed and said:
"Welcome, beautiful Miss Angel."
You are right, you are indeed a member of the "Psychological Alchemist Association", but what you observed was me a few months ago, and I deliberately showed myself... Audrey spoke in surprise and astonishment :
"Mr. Hampres, did you know me before?"
She didn't let the astonished expression stay on her face for too long, because similar emotions are instantaneous reactions and cannot last for too long.
Once someone is surprised for several seconds, it means that his performance is probably faked.
Audrey didn't notice this at first, but after observing other people's "acting" for a long time, she naturally summed up many rules.
"No, I don't know you until now. This is just the basic quality of a psychology lover." Humphreys chuckled lightly.
Before he finished speaking, Audrey had completed her own observations, and combined with the surrounding environment, she made a corresponding judgment:
"His clothing, his house furnishings, all show that he is a person who cares about his dignity...
"The sapphire on the ring on his left hand doesn't look small, but its actual quality is very average, and there are no symbols and magic symbols in it... His financial situation is not as good as it appears... He is very vain...
"Although he was very enthusiastic just now, his standing posture, the pointing of his feet, and the change of emotional color all show that he still has a lot of worries and is quite guarded...
"He sincerely praised my appearance, but he didn't look like a man looking at a woman. There are traces of skin care products on his face, and his eyebrows must have been painted. The craftsmanship is not as good as my make-up maid Solia, but better than mine. ...The perfume on his body is 'Confused', I've only seen women use it... Well, he should like men, and he plays the relatively weak side..."
At the same time, Audrey skillfully expressed her yearning:
"Mr. Hampres, I wish I had your powers of observation."
While speaking, with a faint smile on her face, she got to know the other seven or eight people in the living room one by one under the guidance of Hampres and Escalante.
Some of these double lovers of occultism and psychology are descendants of fallen nobles, some are university associate professors, and some are the children of rich people. For example, there is a young man whose father is the owner of Philips, the most famous department store in Backlund.
In the following exchanges, Audrey basically just listened and didn't talk, and asked questions when she spoke, fully expressing her curiosity and yearning.
In this "academic" discussion, Escalante, Hampres and others deliberately mentioned the etheric body and the mental body, mentioned the spiritual world and the collective subconscious, and gave some relatively unique viewpoints, which made Austrian Delly gradually figured out some of the problems she had accumulated in the past.
When it was over, when she walked out of the house, Audrey glanced at Escalante beside her, and asked innocently:
"Mr. Islant, when will I be as good as Mr. Hampres in the field of psychology?"
Escalante raised the corners of her mouth, turned her head slightly, looked at her and said:
"soon."
…………
At night, Klein, who was about to get into bed, came above the gray mist again.
He who was quite sleepy was immediately sobered up by the news that Miss "Magician" told him.
"Does the Aurora Society know about 'The Fool'? Know my honorable name? Has the 'True Creator' locked me?" Klein sat up straight suddenly, as if facing a formidable enemy.
He quickly denied the last guess. If the "True Creator" really locked him, Mr. A would have come to collect the copper pennies from the gas meter, and there might even be a saint.
In other words, I only know "The Fool" and the corresponding honorable name, and know that the clue is in Backlund... Who leaked the news? Klein frowned, thinking carefully.
Soon, he discovered a possibility:
Recently, I recited my honorable name to the little "sun", and it was when he had an intersection with the members of the exploration team who were polluted by the "true creator"... He held a sacrificial ceremony, and there should be a symbol corresponding to the "fool" on the scene The symbol, there is an ancient palace above the gray mist... Therefore, the "True Creator" sensed the existence of "The Fool", and determined that I was the guy who had blasphemed, no, harassed, and peeped at him...
Also, the little "Sun" used the "All-Black Eye" at that time, which contained the spiritual pollution of the "True Creator"... Through this, He made it clear that my favored ones or believers are haunting Backlund?
You can't take "All Black Eyes" out in the future!
After roughly understanding the problem, Klein ran into another problem:
Mr. A offered a bounty to find followers of "The Fool" in a not-too-private and relatively open Extraordinary gathering. Is it because he really doesn't have enough brains, or is he deliberately "fishing"?
Hey, the Aurora Society are all paranoid lunatics, their heads are almost broken, there is no way to guess their real intentions!
This is the so-called, as long as I'm crazy, you can't guess what I'm thinking?
