Chapter 163 Sacrifice to the Pope and Emperor

Klein took out a set of tarot cards from history and extracted ten tarot cards: Fool, Justice, Hanged Man, Judgment, Sun, Moon, Stars, Hermit, Magician, and World. Then, Klein Shuffle the remaining twelve tarot cards, and use the fortune teller's control over the body to perform tricks on the cards in front of the three of them.

"Speaking of which, Su Lin, there shouldn't be anything you want to criticize in my story, right?" Klein was imitating the scene in the movie God of Gamblers, rapidly opening and closing the tarot cards in his hand, and the movements of his hands were like It's playing the organ.

"Uh" Su Lin found a small sack of dried beef from the desk drawer next to Klein's bed, turned around and asked in confusion:

"Why are you asking this?"

Lu Mingfei watched the movements in Klein's hands intently. When he saw Klein relying on tricks to make the Tarot cards form a circle in mid-air, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. At the same time, he said: "He is afraid that you will cause trouble, stop knocking." , hurry up and find a girlfriend."

Klein divided the twelve tarot cards into four columns, with three cards in each column, and placed them neatly on a dark brown nanmu table.

"Normally speaking, I am a protagonist without a female protagonist. In the novel, I have no female friends who are close enough to go beyond friendship, so it should not attract your attention." Klein stretched out his right hand and made a 'Please' ' pose.

"But just in case, since I was single until now, I'd better ask in advance."

Su Lin chewed the hard beef jerky twice in his mouth. The jerky marinated with coarse salt and spices exuded a salty aroma in his mouth. It was different from the taste of modern jerky. Some of the spices were unique to this era here. Some plants.

"There seems to be no crunch." Su Lin walked into the dark brown nanmu table and recalled, "That's not right. You seem to have quite a few CPs online. Well, I think they are pretty good."

Klein was stunned when he heard this, put his right hand on the top hat and pressed it to block the view in front, and said, "For example?"

"Let me think about it." Su Lin pointed his troops at the top of the twelve cards with his fingers, choosing which card he was going to click on. "Sharon and Klein, well, the puppets last forever."

‘Miss Sharon is indeed pretty, but she and I are just friends and collaborators, and her teacher is my messenger. ’

‘When readers read, they like to put themselves into the role of the protagonist. They have admiration for the beautiful and aloof Sanwu girl, and hope that the protagonist will form a pair with such a girl. It is normal. ’ Klein analyzed in his mind.

"What else?" Klein asked, "Let me guess, Miss Audrey?"

"Well, yes, money is justice." Su Lin replied.

Klein nodded. Miss Audrey is indeed very rich. Wait, isn't it because she is good-looking and kind?

"Gehrman and Fors."

Why would I team up with a salted fish? Klein almost couldn't help but ask, okay, based on appearance alone, Forsi looks okay, but in front of her, I basically look like a crazy adventurer.

After thinking about the broad audience of the Internet, Klein felt that it was relatively normal because netizens were relatively idle, which might have been the same for him as a reader.

‘Not surprising, nothing to be fussed over. ’

"There is also Karen, Kemen" Su Lin clicked on the second tarot card in the third column.

"Wait a minute!" Klein couldn't help shouting, "What's Karen, Kelmon?!"

"Klein and Leonard, Klein and Amon." Su Lin reached out and opened a tarot card. In front of the curtain, there was a man wearing a white inner robe representing purity and a blue outer robe of the Virgin, silently A woman sitting in the center of two stone pillars, one black and one white - the priest card.

"That's enough! Don't say any more!" Klein took the tarot card from Su Lin's hand. He felt that his spiritual insects were trembling and surging. Can this be broken? !

He almost forgot that there were creatures like fujoshi on the Internet. Well, Klein finally understood that the book in which he was the protagonist was indeed very popular.

After all, Leonard is relatively handsome and normal. Just like some men like to watch Lily, it is normal for women to like to watch men having sex. But why Amon? ! I'm almost suffering from Amon's PTSD, this is just... outrageous.

Klein stopped thinking about it. If he continued to think about it, he might not be able to sleep tonight. He focused his attention and began to interpret the tarot card.

There is a cross hanging on the chest of this priestess, which symbolizes the balance of yin and yang and unity with God. There are black and white pillars on both sides. They exist in the temple built by King Solomon in Jerusalem in the biblical story. The black pillars are yin and yin. The white pillar is Yang, the two pillars symbolize duality, and the priestess sitting in the middle is impartial, unifying the power of both.

The trumpet shape on the pillar represents the keen sensitivity of the priestess, and the lily pattern on it symbolizes purity and peace.

The curtain blocked the scenery behind. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the background composed of water, hills and blue sky. Water symbolizes emotions and subconsciousness. This piece of water is calm and calm, but its still surface contains deep secrets.

‘Logically speaking, the God of Light should be Pure Yang. ’

But recalling the six-winged image that was half dark and half pure white that Su Lin had shown on TV before, Klein felt that it was more suitable for Su Lin.

‘Purity and peace? There is no way to go into this. ’

‘The deep secret should be something Su Lin opened? ’

Klein put away the tarot card and said to Lu Mingfei and Zhongli, "It's your turn."

"You first." Lu Mingfei said to Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded, and instead of spending time selecting like Su Lin, he casually opened the third tarot card in the fourth column based on his intuition.

It was a pope, wearing a red robe that symbolized dignity, sitting on a gorgeous chair, with his right hand raised to the sky, wearing a triple crown.

He holds the triple cross staff in his left hand, which represents the fusion of the body, mind, and spirit. His right hand makes a gesture of bringing the index and middle fingers together and pointing upward, and clasping the ring finger and little finger with the thumb, which represents conveying God's will. In front of the seat were two golden keys with a cross pattern, as well as two believers who were receiving the Pope's sermons and listening to the teachings - Pope Cards.

In an instant, relevant expressions appeared in Klein's mind.

[Traditional concepts] [Religious beliefs] [Moral norms] [Teaching knowledge] [Spiritual authority and guidance] [Elders, nobles, teachers]

Believers represent the need of the Pope, and the staff is the authority of God, symbolizing the authority of religion or belief and serving as spiritual guidance.

This card also corresponds to Demeter, the harvest goddess in Greek mythology, and has the attribute of the earth element. The earth element in the Tarot represents responsibility and obligation, abiding by traditional norms, paying attention to rules, and paying attention to organization and discipline. in principle.

‘Yeah, that’s very appropriate. ’

‘The god of earth and contracts. ’

Klein then looked at Lu Mingfei and saw that Lu Mingfei was holding a piece of dried meat from the sack in Su Lin's hand. He rubbed his palms and said vaguely:

"Let's get some domineering energy!"

He turned over the first tarot card in the first column.

On the card, there is an emperor wearing a supreme crown, a red robe, and boots symbolizing strict discipline, sitting confidently on the throne. He holds a crystal ball in his left hand, symbolizing rigorous order; he holds a staff in his right hand, symbolizing life and power - the Emperor's Card.

In the right position, there are attributes such as [perseverance], [eyes on everyone], and [trustworthy friend].

Reversed, it means [overbearing], [flashy romance], and [painful ending].

‘The cube seat on which the Emperor sits is not a throne, but an occult symbol, symbolizing the world and the Tarot itself, the path of the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the Hebrew letters, symbolizing the universe. ’

‘Well, the emperor corresponds to the spiritual number 4. 4 can also be the 4 directions, 4 seasons, and 4 elements, which correspond to the 4 worlds of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, namely the circle world, the creation world, the formation world and the material world. ’

Klein glanced at Lu Mingfei, then at Su Lin and Zhong Li, and thought about it carefully. Maybe he could strengthen his training in divination in the future.

"Okay, from now on, the three are Mr. Priest, Mr. Pope and Mr. Empress of the Tarot Club." Klein waved his hand to disperse the historical projection of the Tarot cards and let them return to history. "I want to first Go above the gray fog and give everyone permission."

After Klein finished speaking, he subconsciously opened the wooden door of the bathroom. But as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head slightly stiffly. He saw other people looking at him with a look that was indeed true.

Su Lin lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and lowered his eyebrows slightly. Six shadows of light wings appeared behind him. He put his right hand in front of his left chest and said piously: "Great Master of the Bathroom, please return to your Kingdom of God." Come and guide us, may we walk in the washroom as if we were walking in your kingdom.”

"Praise the fool." Lu Mingfei imitated Su Lin and said.

————————————

The spiritual world overlaps with reality, in the ancient palace above the gray mist.

At the top of the mottled long table, where the Fool belongs, a crimson figure twisted into shape, shrouded in gray-white mist.

Immediately afterwards, rays of deep red light rose on both sides of the long bronze table, condensing into different figures on different high-backed chairs.

Without any interruption, all the members of the Tarot Society cast their gazes on the figure sitting at the top, shrouded in gray-white mist.

"Justice" Audrey stood up without pausing, saluted towards the top of the long mottled table and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Audrey Hall looked around the long bronze table and was suddenly stunned because there were three more figures in the meeting this time.

If it were just the addition of new members, Audrey would only be happy, but what is surprising is that two of these three figures were not obscured by the gray-white mist! They use their true appearance!

The two men were located on the left and right sides of Mr. Fool, sitting on ancient stone seats.

He has a handsome appearance, with well-defined facial features and a beautiful three-dimensional appearance. His expression is gentle and a little indifferent, and he is tall. His black hair is pushed back to reach his shoulders, and a few strands of hair fall on his forehead. He sat on the left hand side of Mr. Fool with his eyes closed, wearing a simple and plain classical white robe.

To be sure, that robe was not the style of the Kingdom of Loen, nor the style of the Feysac Empire, the Kingdom of Fenebaud, or the Republic of Intis.

The other person has gold-plated pupils. He is a tall and handsome man with long black hair that gradually turns to brown and spreads on his shoulders. He is wearing a black evening gown. Gold thread outlines a few simple lines on the slim gown; on his neck Wearing a black tie with a strange snake-like creature embroidered in gold thread.

Wearing a black cloak with a hood, he looked calm and stared at the man with his eyes closed. He noticed the gazes of Audrey and others, turned his head slightly, glanced at everyone present, and raised his eyebrows. He showed a smile and then nodded as a greeting.

To his left, there was another person shrouded in gray mist. It could be vaguely seen that he was a man. He was looking around curiously.

‘Relatively active personality. ’ Audrey gave this man a superficial psychological label.

Everyone in the Tarot Club cast their eyes on Mr. Fool at the head, and then heard Mr. Fool’s ever-steady voice:

"These three are new members."

"The one on the left is Mr. Priest, and the two on the right are Mr. Pope and Mr. Emperor."

"Welcome, Mr. Priest, Mr. Pope and Mr. Emperor." Audrey greeted the three of them with a cheerful tone. As one of the earliest members of the Tarot Club, she always maintained a sense of ownership and was very happy to do so. Seeing Tarot will grow and develop.

After she said hello, the handsome man on the left whose eyes had been closed opened his eyes, his white-gold eyes looked at everyone, glanced around and then stopped on her body, nodding slightly: "Hello. "

For some reason, the other members of the Tarot Society felt the sanctity and inviolability at this moment. They actually felt the untainted holiness in this man.

‘This should be a high-level extraordinary person. ’

'So did another man who showed his face. ’

"Mr. Fool introduced you to us." Priest Su Lin smiled, showing a gentle smile: "Miss Justice."

The Hanged Man shuddered, and a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind like a bolt from the blue.

‘Mr. Fool introduced us to them? ! ’

'What does it mean? ! ’

His thoughts were surging, and various thoughts began to appear.

‘That is to say, Mr. Fool specially introduced our situation to them, including the characteristics of other people who are doing it! ’

‘What kind of extraordinary person deserves Mr. Fool to go out of his way to do this? ! ’

‘And, from the looks of it, they appeared in this palace long before we arrived! Since they arrived early and knew the relevant situation, did they deliberately not cover their appearance? ! ’

‘They are not afraid of revealing their identities at all! Have enough confidence to ignore the hidden factors that may be brought about by exposure! ’

‘And the man shrouded in gray mist, did he also come with these two people? Or a separate new member? ’

The Hanged Man Alger clearly realized at this moment that these two or three new members were different. Not only him, but also the sharp-thinking Hermit Cattleya and Justice Audrey also discovered this. At one point, Judge Xio and Magician Forsi also vaguely noticed what was different about these two men.

Boom——

A long sound sounded, it was Mr. Fool tapping the stone table lightly.

At this time, no matter what everyone was thinking about or what they wanted to ask, they all stood up straight, sat upright on the stone chairs solemnly, turned their eyes to the Fool, and waited quietly for Mr. Fool's speech.

"Then, next, it's time to talk to you."

"The future of this world."

Update first and then revise. I will update as much as possible on weekends and save some manuscripts for storage.
