Lord of the Silver Crow

This situation surprised Yago.

With an elevated perspective, Yago glanced around vigilantly.

Nothing special was found.

There were no changes, and no monsters rushed out. The ruined temple surrounded by darkness was still extremely quiet.

Only then did Yago turn his attention to the pile of fragments left by the collapsed statue with suspicion.

It was at this time that Yago noticed that there seemed to be something under the debris.

When he came up with the idea of ​​removing the fragments, the black lines extending from the mask converged to form feathers like wings and swept away the fragments.

As a result, Yago could see things on the ground clearly.

It's not an item, but a pattern painted on the ground.

That is a symbol.

most

From the silhouette, it looks like a humanoid silhouette wearing a hooded robe.

The human silhouette has no face or specific details, just a curved and uninterrupted line.

But not one, but two.

Two identical symbols seem to be misplaced, overlapping one above the other.

A symbol of two faceless men in robes superimposed on each other.

However, what makes Yago feel uncomfortable is that in this symbol that looks like two overlapping figures, there are several lines formed by cracks on the ground.

This makes the symbols look fragmented, as if dismembered.

Yago counted, and there were thirteen lines in total.

13?

The number 13 is not taboo in China, but the West is quite taboo about this number, and there are many opinions about this number.

In related mythology, 13 represents the thirteenth disciple Judas, the god of tricks and mischief Loki, etc.

In the occult, in the words of the Tarot. Death card?

The game manual of Wizard Sequence states that each sequence is based on Tarot cards.

I just took the potion of the gravekeeper.

No matter how you think about the name Gravekeeper, you will associate it with death, the god of death, right?

coincidence? Or do the masks and statues correspond to the path of the gravekeeper?

This kind of correspondence made Yago unable to avoid thinking of Tarot cards.

but.

Including the statue that just shattered, there are a total of 21 humanoid statues here.

There are 22 kinds of tarot cards from 0 to 21 at the beginning.

If there is a correspondence, is there a missing one?

Which one is missing?

Which sequence path do the other statues correspond to?

With doubts, Yago looked at the other statues.

These statues standing in the square are all dressed in various costumes and masks.

For example, the one at the very edge, a female statue wearing a long skirt and a cloak, wears a half-face mask on her face, exposing half of the nose and mouth, but there is no opening for the eyes on the mask, only the mask There is a protrusion in the center that seems to be embedded with a gemstone.

Next to this woman is a male statue in a tuxedo suit. The mask worn on the face has no openings, only a parallel circle like an infinity symbol near the forehead.

Immediately, Yago looked at another statue on the left rear of the statue.

This statue wears a coat a little differently from the others, no mask and only a monocle on the face.

No, no, wearing a mask, wearing a metal mask.

Yago, who was standing on the side of the statue, suddenly found that this male statue wearing a jacket and several tool bags, large and small, had a slit on the side of his face.

It's as if the whole face is covered.

Meanwhile, the world of Clockwork and the Dolls.

Ashurn fitted the monocle into his sunken eye socket.

In his vision, the whole world became blurred again, turning into a phantom-like weird world.

After standing on the spot for half a minute, he took off the monocle embedded in the eye socket, and the prosthetic eye and the other eye looked at the monocle in his hand.

At the end of the metal chain to which the monocle is connected, is a faint blue gemstone.

At this moment, he felt a throbbing.

Throbbing from the monocle.

He immediately hung the lens in his hand on the eye socket, letting his eyebrows and cheekbones catch the lens.

The scene seen by the right eye became blurred like a phantom again, in stark contrast to the normal world seen by the left eye.

Ashurn glanced around, looking for the source of his throbbing.

Suddenly, while turning to the southeast, he stopped moving.

In the fuzzy yet clear world where the images seen by the left and right eyes overlap, a bell tower without any phantom appears.

Ashen narrowed his glasses and took off the monocle on his right eye to confirm.

The clock tower disappeared.

Putting on the monocle again, Ashurn took a step towards the direction of the clock tower.

Soon, he came to the front of the bell tower.

In the field of vision, the decaying clock tower is filled with a sense of decay that is about to collapse.

But for some reason, the gate of the clock tower was wide open.

Looking at the door, Ashun narrowed his eyes:

Invite...?

Talking to himself, he stepped into the gate.

The long and narrow corridor slowed down his steps slightly.

All the way forward, at this moment, his eyes suddenly blurred, and the scene in front of him changed.

The long and narrow corridor in the field of vision disappeared, and what was replaced was a huge ruin like a ruined temple.

Yago, who was staring at the statue, suddenly heard a crackling sound from the statue in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, just like the shattered statue just now, the statue wearing the monocle suddenly collapsed and shattered, turning into debris and dust in an instant.

But at the same time, Yago suddenly had a feeling.

Someone came in.

Suddenly, Yago turned his head to look in the direction of the clock tower.

what to do? Could it be the owner of this place?

Yago felt a little flustered.

He also doesn't know what this place is at all, he only knows that it has something to do with the mask he got.

And the exit is only the gate of the bell tower.

This is his feeling, a natural feeling, he doesn't know why he knows it, anyway he knows it.

Under this inexplicable cognition, Yago slowly moved towards the gate of the clock tower.

He couldn't hide from his current position. Except for the statue, the surrounding area was empty. The ruins of buildings in the distance could be used as cover, but from the position of the clock tower, he could see it clearly.

I can only test it first and find out the information.

He was nervous, but wearing a mask, he didn't show it at all, nor could he show any emotions.

Slowly, he walked, no, drifted in the direction of the clock tower.

A man in a brown tuxedo, a top hat, and a monocle was standing in front of the gate.

However, Yago, who was about to answer with all kinds of explanations such as just broke in accidentally in his heart, was not confronted with accusations, but——

Are you the master here? I have come as invited.

Yago suddenly noticed that the other party's face was vigilant and cautious when facing the superior.
