Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

“Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!” Audrey, “Justice,” greeted crisply.

She had also noticed the new member, but she had something more important she wanted the other members to know. After greeting them, she said to Mr. Fool, “You have saved Backlund once again.”

‘Magician’ Forsi and the new member ‘Moon’ Emlyn were both stunned, thinking to themselves: When was I saved again?

The other members were also stunned, because the so-called ‘Great Smog’ event had not occurred, so on the surface, Backlund had been calm and tranquil last week. Ordinary Beyonders were unaware of the ‘Witch Cult’ and ‘Aurora Order’s’ schemes.

Only ‘Hanged Man’ Alger had heard that the official Beyonders in Backlund had once again thwarted the evil organization’s plot.

However, he wasn’t very clear on the specific details, because by the time the Storm Church’s Archbishop in Backlund arrived at the scene, ‘Mechanical Heart’ had already dealt with the traces almost completely.

In fact, even Klein, who was sitting at the head of the table as ‘The Fool,’ didn’t quite understand what was going on. He clearly heard that ‘Lady of Despair’ said she was going to the East Borough to provide enough life for the Aurora Order.

As a result, after he escaped danger and inquired about it, it seemed that nothing had happened in the East Borough except for a stronger wind.

Klein was thinking of taking advantage of today’s Tarot Gathering to ask the well-informed ‘Hermit’ what was going on.

However, he still had to put on an act when it was time, so he smiled and responded, “I only provided a little insignificant help.”

“No, your Blessed truly saved Backlund.” Audrey sincerely said, “His reminder allowed the Church of the Night Goddess to prepare and prevent the awakening of the ‘Original Witch’ in time.

“Moreover, he directly disrupted the Aurora Order’s ritual, once again preventing the ‘True Creator’ who was trying to descend from entering the real world.”

Because Audrey also played a role in conveying information in this matter, she learned a lot of internal news from the ‘Nighthawks’ from her parents.

She added, “There was also a gentleman and a demigod who stopped the ‘Lady of Despair’ in the East Borough and dispersed the thick fog produced by the ‘Despair Witch,’ saving many lives.”

Klein, at the head of the long bronze table, thought to himself, So that’s what happened.

He really wanted to ask who that gentleman and demigod were, but now was obviously not a good time to discuss this issue.

Emlyn, who was attending the meeting for the first time, almost jumped up: The ‘Original Witch’ is about to awaken? The ‘True Creator’ is trying to descend? Mother… No, Moon above, is this lady lying?

Alger secretly sighed: As expected of an event that received Mr. Fool’s attention, but what benefits can He gain from thwarting the evil gods’ plots?

After a moment of silence in the hall, Forsi, as if awakened, said, “Honorable Mr. Fool, I received three pages of the Roselle Diary last week.”

Klein nodded slightly and said, “Very good.”

The more members there are, the more channels there are, and many things will snowball quickly.

Emlyn felt that he had heard something incredible again: Roselle’s Diary? Could it be those notes?

Only at this time did Klein remember that he had overlooked a certain vampire, so he smiled and introduced, “This is the new member, Mr. ‘Moon.’”

Thus, while ‘The Fool’ began reading the notes, the new member and the original members began to size each other up.

Audrey politely nodded in greeting while pondering in her heart: Mr. ‘Moon’? I thought the one who chose the ‘Moon’ card would be a lady.

‘Hanged Man’ Alger carefully observed the other party’s attire and guessed that ‘Moon’ was a Loen person.

‘Magician’ Forsi also had a similar guess, and also guessed that the other party should live in Backlund, because the lapel pin on his shirt collar was a popular style in Backlund last year.

‘Sun’ Derrick didn’t care much about these things. He was only thinking about thanking Mr. ‘Hermit’ later.

‘Hermit’ Medici also pretended to observe, but he knew this new member, but because there was no “business” relationship before, Medici didn’t establish contact with him in advance.

Similarly, Emlyn was also guessing what pathways the other members were on? What Sequence were they at? Which organization did they belong to? Were they friendly to the Blood Clan? and other questions.

His observation ability was average, and he only saw that ‘Justice’ and ‘Magician’ were Loen people. He couldn’t see too detailed information about the other members.

A few minutes later, Klein, at the head of the long bronze table, leaned back in his chair and smiled at everyone: “You can begin.”

Audrey immediately looked at ‘Little Sun’: “Have you escaped the loop?”

Derrick first nodded seriously, and then sincerely said to ‘Hermit’ on the side: “Mr. Hermit, thank you for providing the information. According to our Chief’s investigation, that was indeed the loop caused by the remaining power of the ‘Angel of Fate.’”

‘Moon’ Emlyn seemed to be listening quietly to their conversation, but in fact he was already in a dazed state: What ‘Angel of Fate’? What ‘escape the loop’? Why can I understand every word, but I don’t know what it means when they are put together?

Medici smiled and said: “As members of the Tarot Club, we should help each other.”

At this time, Alger turned slightly and looked at ‘Sun’ on his side and asked: “What was the specific process like?”

Derrick did not hide anything: “During the sixth exploration, I carefully observed the murals in the temple, and I saw in them a crowd of people coming from afar, making a pilgrimage to a certain place.

“This also matches the information provided by Mr. ‘Hermit’. During the Fourth Epoch, a large number of ‘True Creator’ believers came here from your world.

“After that, we entered the room behind the temple…”

Hearing ‘True Creator’, Emlyn fell into deep thought again: Why are the problems involved by the members of this gathering either angels or evil gods? Are they all demigods? Am I the only one at ‘Middle Sequence’?

When the other members heard the little boy say that he came from Enmat Harbor, they realized that the ‘Land Abandoned by God’ was still connected to the North and South Continents in some way.

Finally, Derrick continued: “The Chief told me that through my reminder, he thought of some records in ancient books.

“It says that when ‘The Lord Who Creates Everything, the Omniscient and Almighty God’ gazes at the earth, He is surrounded by many angels, and the leader of the angels is the eight ‘Kings of Angels.’”

Speaking of this, he said again: “This also matches the information previously released by Mr. ‘Hermit.’”

Emlyn completely revealed his bewilderment this time, because he had never heard of the ‘King of Angels.’

Audrey saw the new member’s embarrassment, so she smiled and reminded: “Mr. Moon, the information about the ‘King of Angels’ is important information from the Third Epoch. This information all comes from Mr. ‘Hermit.’

“If you want to know, you can trade with Mr. ‘Hermit.’”

Emlyn secretly took a slight breath before smiling and said: “Thank you for your reminder.”

He thought in his heart: What a beautiful and kind lady.

Then Emlyn said to ‘Hermit’ next to him: “Mr. ‘Hermit’, what price should I pay to trade for information about the ‘King of Angels’?”

Medici pondered for a moment before saying: “For those information that have not been traded, you can follow everyone’s future transactions and trade together.

“As for the information that has already been traded at the Tarot Club, the other members have spent a total of 2400 pounds, but that was jointly funded by everyone.

“If you want to trade, I’ll give you a discounted price of 600 pounds.”

Emlyn was stunned for a moment before saying: “I… I’ll consider it.”

He didn’t expect the price to be so expensive, and he also thought that he didn’t seem to urgently need this information, so he planned to wait and see.

‘Little Sun’s’ narration ended, and the trading session officially began.

Forsi first said to ‘Hanged Man’: “Mr. ‘Hanged Man’, there is news about the ‘Dragon Eye Sea Eagle’s’ eyeballs you need, 2200 pounds.”

She repeated the old trick and added 200 pounds herself again.

But ‘Hanged Man’ was not ‘Justice’. He smiled and said: “Very good, but your asking price is too expensive. I have many channels to get it cheaper. 1900 pounds is the highest price I can accept.”

“No, 2000 pounds is the bottom line.” Forsi responded without hesitation.

Alger nodded immediately: “Deal!”

This… Forsi was a little stunned for a moment.

Emlyn, who was listening in, witnessed the completion of a transaction. He thought for a while and tentatively asked: “Everyone, who knows how the Blood Clan should improve their strength? Um, without relying on gifts from elders.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gaze looking over.

Medici thought: ‘Celestial Three Silly’ lives up to its name… Well, maybe it’s ‘Two Silly’ now, because ‘Little Sun’ has matured a lot.

Forsi’s eyes lit up instantly when she looked at ‘Moon’: Blood Clan?

As a novelist, she undoubtedly had all kinds of imaginations about the Blood Clan, whether beautiful or bizarre.

Audrey also re-examined ‘Moon’: Is this the legendary vampire?

Alger was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal: Every Tarot Club member is not simple. This Mr. ‘Moon’ obviously represents the Blood Clan’s relationship and channels. Also, did he deliberately expose himself as soon as he came up?

Derrick couldn’t help but turn to look at ‘Moon’: A vampire hidden in the depths of darkness, covered in pus, and moving like the wind?

In the ‘Land Abandoned by God,’ vampires look like this.

"The World" hesitated for a second before giving a normal reaction, or rather, Klein hesitated: This guy practically had the word "Vampire" written on his forehead.

Being stared at by so many eyes, Emlyn was momentarily at a loss, but he vaguely understood that he seemed to have asked something he shouldn't have.

He was somewhat unconvinced, thinking: What are you looking at me for? Can't I have a Vampire friend? Should I explain myself? … No, what's wrong with Vampires? I am a Vampire, there's nothing wrong with admitting it! We Vampires have a long history, a long lifespan, and a wealth of accumulation. We are a noble race!

Thinking of this, Emlyn raised his chin and proudly added, "Yes, I am a pure-blooded Vampire."

Audis, next to Emlyn, twitched his lips: No one asked if you were a Vampire! And what was with your guilty conscience just now? What's there to be so smug about now?

Fors asked curiously, "Mr. "Moon", do you Vampires, like humans, have titles such as Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron to correspond to different levels and statuses of powerful individuals?"

"No, you humans imitated us Vampires!" Emlyn sat up straight. "Before the Cataclysm, as early as the Second Epoch, we Vampires had the division of Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron titles.

"At that time, you humans were still under the rule of the Giant Court and had no possibility of inventing titles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Derrick from "The Sun" blurted out, "There is no such record in the history of our Silver City."

"The Vampire division is demarcated by the appearance of the 'Blasphemy Slate'. Before that, it was very general and vague, with only titles such as patriarchs of different families and leaders of different regions."

Emlyn responded dismissively, "The history of us Vampires is written with long lives, not something that can be overturned by the random records of a small, ordinary Silver City."

Derrick said somewhat aggrieved, "Our Silver City does not fabricate history!"

Audrey was doing her daily "Mind Reader" sample observation with great interest, while she thought to herself: If no one stops them, I think they could argue about this issue until the end of the gathering.

"In terms of titles, the Vampires did imitate humans," Audis said at this moment.

Emlyn immediately shifted his target: "Sir, what evidence do you have?"

"There is a lot of evidence, but of course, the most important evidence is the 'Blasphemy Slate' that 'The Sun' just mentioned," Audis looked at Emlyn, who seemed like a rooster preparing to fight, and then asked,

"You should know what the 'Blasphemy Slate' is, right?"

"Of course, I know," Emlyn said, "But what can that prove?"

"That proves that before the appearance of the 'Blasphemy Slate', there was no concept of a potion system," Audis further explained, "At that time, they directly devoured characteristics to advance, and most of the time, they even devoured characteristics beyond their level.

"In other words, even if there were titles among the Vampires at that time, it was very likely that a Baron would directly advance to an Earl, and there was no stable space for levels to exist.

"Later, under the guidance of the 'Ancient Sun God', humans began to advance using potions, and Vampires also began to use this safe method of advancement, and only then did the concept of sequences appear among the Vampires.

"Until the Fourth Epoch, when the Vampire 'Blood Moon Queen' married into the Trunsoest family and became the Empress of the Empire, the Vampire leaders were granted titles such as Duke and Earl, and they reappeared in people's sight, re-entering the center of the extraordinary stage.

"After that, the Vampires continued the habit of distinguishing different levels by titles."

Emlyn opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
