It's here, it's here! The Tarot Club's express delivery service is finally about to launch!
Unlike the bewildered and doubtful Justice Audrey, and the Hanged Man Alger, Lin Ruo naturally understood what the Fool, Klein, meant by 'experiment'.
—By the way, although the first sacrificial ritual attempt failed because of Klein's reckless behavior, which led to both of them standing each other up, they did arrange a new time for a sacrificial ritual attempt afterward.
The result was, of course, a complete success.
However, as a drama queen, Lin Ruo still acted professionally on the surface. After hearing Mr. Fool's words, he paused for a moment, then, as if thinking of something, he showed an expression of anticipation and reverence. He quickly looked up at Mr. Fool, then respectfully lowered his head and said:
"I am very willing to cooperate with your experiment, Mr. Fool."
Since he had the persona of a knowledgeable person, after basically confirming the essence of Mr. Fool's divinity, and hearing Mr. Fool say he wanted to conduct a so-called experiment under such circumstances, then 'Chariot' would naturally associate it with a sacrificial ritual.
Eh, did Mr. Chariot guess what Mr. Fool wants to experiment with… … Justice Audrey, who was watching the show from the sidelines, but was also full of anticipation for the experiment Mr. Fool mentioned, looked at Mr. Chariot thoughtfully.
She couldn't help but think of Mr. Fool's previous two experiments. The first time, he pulled her and Mr. Hanged Man into this mysterious space, establishing the Tarot Club. The second time, he gave a respected name, allowing the Tarot Club members to try to pray, and they really received a response.
Based on these two experiments, combined with Mr. Chariot's reaction… … Justice Audrey's mood became more and more expectant. She had no doubt that Mr. Fool's next experiment would reveal a part of his divine essence.
Compared to Chariot, Lin Ruo, who was happily acting, and Justice Audrey, who was full of anticipation and not worried at all, the Hanged Man Alger's reaction was obviously completely different.
At this moment, his spirit suddenly tensed, and he was instantly filled with vigilance towards Mr. Fool's proposal, constantly thinking, "What does He want to do?" "What is His true purpose?" "Will this experiment cause harm to me?" and other thoughts.
He almost subconsciously wanted to look at the Fool, but he forcibly stopped himself and instead turned his gaze to Chariot.
Chariot seems to have guessed what Mr. Fool wants to do… … Because Lin Ruo's performance was quite professional, even if he didn't have the powerful observation skills of an audience member, and was exceptionally sensitive to emotions, the Hanged Man, who was already good at observing words and expressions, could still easily infer something from Lin Ruo's expression.
He became more respectful, seeming very expectant, but not fearful. Perhaps it's not a bad thing… … No, maybe he guessed wrong… … No, Alger, you can't think about it anymore, this is Mr. Fool's place!
After a series of wild thoughts, Hanged Man Alger, finally lowered his head respectfully like Chariot.
"Your will is my will."
The Fool, Klein's gaze swept over them in turn, and finally he chuckled:
"This experiment will make your transactions simpler, safer, and sufficiently confidential."
His gaze first fell on Lin Ruo. Although he was a little worried about Lin Ruo's mischievousness, he finally decided to let Lin Ruo be a straight man, as they had discussed before.
He asked unhurriedly: "You should know about sacrificial rituals, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Fool, I usually have contact with this aspect of things." Lin Ruo replied respectfully, but his expression did not show any surprise, only understanding. After all, in his script, he had just guessed what Mr. Fool might be experimenting with.
The Hanged Man, Alger, next to him felt his heart turn cold. As a Beyonder of the Storm Church, a Seafarer of Sequence 7, how could Hanged Man Alger, not understand sacrificial rituals?
Perhaps I am sliding towards the abyss… … Thinking of the fate of those who held sacrificial rituals to evil | gods and demons, Hanged Man Alger, felt a burst of bitterness.
The Fool, Klein's voice then rang out:
"My idea is that you offer things to me through a ritual, and then I bestow them upon Mr. Hanged Man. This form of transaction is beneficial to both of you."
He said it lightly, but Justice Audrey, who was listening, was dumbfounded, completely not expecting that there could be such an operation.
However, soon, Justice Audrey, reacted to the divine essence behind this matter, and became more and more excited, marveling at the greatness of Mr. Fool in her heart, and feeling that the Tarot Club was indeed different.
Praise the Fool!
Justice Audrey, praised sincerely in her heart. After praising, she felt a little guilty, after all, she was, after all, a superficial believer of the Evernight Goddess.
No, Mr. Fool is different from the Goddess, they can't be confused… … Moreover, the Goddess shouldn't be able to detect this matter.
Justice Audrey, comforted herself in her heart.
Completely different from her optimism, Hanged Man Alger, became more and more vigilant.
However, no matter what these two were thinking, it obviously couldn't affect Lin Ruo and Klein singing a duet there.
Soon, Klein explained the process of the sacrificial ritual, and the content was naturally no different from the previous two people's attempts.
—But what is slightly different from the sacrificial ritual that Klein popularized to the Tarot Club in the original book is that this time, because of Lin Ruo's reminder, Klein did not cancel the part of the ritual that pleased the gods, but chose an essential oil as the pleasing item.
It's not expensive, after all, it's just something used to increase the sense of ritual, and Klein was embarrassed to let the Tarot Club members spend too much on this.
After introducing the sacrificial ritual, the Fool, Klein, chuckled and said: "The sacrificial ritual must have an accurate time. Mr. Chariot, when do you plan to try?"
"If it is convenient for you, Mr. Fool, I can try after the gathering ends." Lin Ruo lowered his head, his tone becoming more and more humble and respectful.
The Fool, Klein, then looked at Hanged Man Alger. He could naturally see the other party's increasingly tense and even apprehensive spirit.
I always feel that Mr. Hanged Man has made up a lot of messy things… … The Fool, Klein, thought this way, and asked in a low and soothing tone:
"Mr. Hanged Man, do you know the ritual of praying for bestowal?"
"Mr. Fool, I know." The Hanged Man, Alger, who had already made up a lot of possibilities such as "Is Mr. Fool trying to escape with our help?" "Does He have any hidden plans for doing such an experiment?" "Will He descend into the real world in the future," did not dare to reveal what he was thinking at all, and only answered obediently.
"Very good." The Fool, Klein, continued, "If the experiment goes well, I will bestow the item upon you after the gathering. Be prepared."
"Okay, Mr. Fool." The Hanged Man buried his head even lower.
"Then the transaction is concluded."
