Chapter 7 Mr. Priestess - Old Blue

Old Blue was in low spirits and continued in a low voice:
"In fact, I did become a Loen person... My family fell into ruin, and I joined the army to make ends meet. I came back alive, and after retiring, I encountered a mysterious incident by chance. I joined the Mandated Punishers and became a Beyonder of the Sailor Path... The world is like a circle, and in the end, I still returned to this path..."

Klein thought of his own experience—what caused him to "cross over" was the "Antigonus Family Notes". The Antigonus Family mastered the path of the fortune teller. What made him finally choose the fortune teller potion was the diary of Emperor Roselle. Roselle was inclined to choose the fortune teller sequence because of the mysterious Zaratul, the leader of the secret society who also mastered the fortune teller path!

It was like fate had woven a web that made one breathless! Could it be that there were mysterious factors at work here? This was too "mysterious"!
"Even if I knew the "Acting Method" and could eliminate some of the potential risks of losing control, I would not expect to continue to advance, nor would I seek the glory of the elves. That would not even be as good as a dinner for my wife..."

"But my son, who already understood the essence of roleplaying, is a Sequence 9 Beyonder. He has been a Mandated Punisher for to years and there is almost no danger of him losing control... but he just lost control..."

Hearing this, Klein also somewhat understood the "suspicious points" that Old Blue mentioned. You know, he took the Diviner's potion and strictly followed the role-playing method. It only took him a month to completely digest the potion! After that, all the things he shouldn't have heard and seen disappeared. So, how did a senior Punisher who had digested the potion turn into a fish-man monster?

Tingen is really full of dangers. Klein sighed secretly, and the urgency of wanting to improve his strength came over him again.

Old Blue paused for a moment, then said respectfully:
"This is all I know about the history of the elves. It is not enough to repay you for showing your power and saving my life... Please allow me to pay the price for giving me the opportunity to become stronger and to take revenge..."

"The formula recorded in the family records includes Sequence 9 Sailor, Sequence 8 Raging Citizen, Sequence 7 Navigator, and Sequence 6 Wind-loving One of the Sailor Path. I am only Sequence 8. On the one hand, I have no motivation to advance. On the other hand, advancement will bring stricter scrutiny, which may expose our identities... I have similar reasons for suppressing my son's advancement..."

Klein nodded. Old Blue’s experience also proved that if he was only at Sequence 8, which was a low Sequence, he would not attract too much attention from the church. After he laid the groundwork for the role-playing method, his special application for promotion should not attract too much attention either!
"I have personally collected Sequence 9 fortune tellers, Sequence 8 clowns, and Sequence 7 magicians from the Fortune Teller path. These are mainly from the secret order spies of the Intis Empire, who were captured and interrogated..."

Magician? A Sequence 7 on the Fortune Teller Path is a magician? Wow, they really have the Big Three of the Circus together! A Sequence 6 wouldn't be a tamer, right? A one-man team? Klein complained in his mind.

"'Audience' Path Sequence 9 audience, this comes from a captured Psychological Alchemist."

"Reader Path Sequence 9 Reader, Sequence 8 Reasoning Trainee, this is a prisoner from Lunburg."

"A Sequence 9 lawyer from the Lawyer path, a Sequence 8 barbarian..."

After the lawyers, there are barbarians? What kind of logic is this? If I can't convince you with words, then I'll convince you with physics? Klein couldn't help but think.

"The Universal Path Sequence 9 Universal Path..."

Old Blue scratched his head and said:

“Dear Mr. Fool, the ‘Sailor’ path you know does not enhance memory. I barely remember some of the formulas, and there may be some more. I need to find the classics to remember them again before I can give them to you…”

At this moment, Klein the Fool finally felt the importance of accumulation and the weight of decades of career as a Punisher. Although most of the many potion formulas were low-sequence, it was the initial sequence that was more important. This was the beginning of the path to transcendence. Without them, even if he had Sequence 4, the Demigod potion formula would be useless.

相比之下，隐秘组织塔罗会只掌握了占卜家的序列9、8，水手途径的9、8、7，观众途径的9……隐秘组织首领愚者先生只是消化完毕的序列9占卜家……不过马上就能晋升序列8小丑了！还能得到序列7魔术师的魔药配方！克莱恩打起精神，感觉塔罗会前途满满！
Klein the Fool maintained his leisurely demeanor and said casually:
"I am a fool who is interested in history. The ancient names of potion formulas may be different from the modern names. I allow you to dedicate them to me to satisfy my interest in history."

"Besides that, I allow you to use the formula you have mastered to exchange with other people here. Ha, some people like you asked me to hold regular gatherings, and I agreed." I believe I am the curly-haired baboon! Old Blue complained in his heart, but he didn't show any abnormality on the surface. He said piously:

“Mr. Fool! Am I also qualified to join the party?”

The Fool Klein tapped the edge of the table, and a deck of tarot cards appeared on the long bronze table. "Before that, you need to determine your code name, except for The Fool, Justice, The Hanged Man, and The Sun."

Old Blue took two steps forward and flipped through the tarot cards. He felt awkward. This deck only had the 18 main cards of the "Major Arcana". In addition to the four code names above, there were more cards. It seemed like a lot of choices, but if you remove the Magician, Moon, Hermit, Star, Judgement, and World that will be added later, as well as Death, Temperance, Wheel of Fortune, and Tower, which should have codes even if they are not added, there are only eight choices left: Priestess, Queen, Emperor, Pope, Lovers, Chariot, Strength, and Devil...

As for the Minor Arcana cards of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles, Mr. Fool did not bring up any of them, and it was difficult for him to choose either...

"Mr. Fool, let fate decide my code name..."

After saying this, Old Blue shuffled the order of the cards and removed the four cards with codes, thinking:

"Even if I draw a code name for a future member, I can only say sorry..."

Old Blue stretched out his right hand and drew a card from the deck of tarot cards.

After opening it, he saw a holy priestess sitting upright with a book in her hands.

The High Priestess card!

Old Blue was stunned for a moment. Can I draw again? No! Let's choose again? Why bother with the members behind? I'll choose a "world" and let Mr. Gehrman be the "priestess"...

Klein the Fool almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Old Blue's actions. Although the important thing about the tarot cards is the symbolism and it all depends on the interpretation, this situation is still a bit awkward...

He tapped the edge of the table and the tarot cards disappeared...

"Remember your choice, it will accompany you throughout your life. At 3 pm on Monday, eliminate distractions and hold the meeting on time." Klein said in a familiar tone.

“…” The colors of Old Bruxing’s spirit body flashed rapidly, red, orange, purple, dark, green, blue, white… In short, there was no fucking.
