Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 182 Gluttony
"Do you know the origin of this card?" Vinata asked curiously.

"I can only guess." Adele carefully put away the Blasphemy Card that had been restored to its original state. "There are actually quite a few similar rumors. The legend of the treasure left by Emperor Roselle is still circulating throughout the continent today. One of the rumors is that the emperor left the secret of his final treasure in the tarot deck he made. As long as you collect all his twenty-two main cards, you can obtain Emperor Roselle's final secret treasure."

"Okay, I know this sounds ridiculous, but if you think about it the other way around, the treasure left by Roselle might not be completely fictitious. It's just that in the minds of treasure hunters, this deck of cards is used to cover up clues to the secret treasure, but in fact, perhaps the formula recorded in this deck of cards is the real secret treasure!"

Adele suddenly felt as if she had found the key, and said excitedly.

"Although I think collecting formulas is much easier than finding a blasphemous card like this, I have to admit that finding this card does save a lot of money." Venata commented objectively, "And then, what other abilities does this card have?"

"A high-sequence Beyonder holding this card can sense the approximate location of the main ingredients of the potion for promotion..."

When Adele said this, she seemed to remember something and her expression suddenly changed.

Although this mysterious tarot card seemed to have the function of anti-divination, she had just triggered the card in the real world, and it was very likely that it had been sensed by some high-ranking demigod-level beings. The real high-ranking officials of the witch sect would obviously not be satisfied with her behavior of finding something but not handing it over to the sect!

Even if they didn't find out their exact location, they could still detect that the corresponding items appeared in Jianhai County. If they kept holding this card, something would go wrong sooner or later...

After Adele figured out the connection, she immediately found the corresponding ritual items in her luggage. Without even having time to avoid Vinata, she set up a sacrificial ceremony on the floor of the room and sacrificed the card above the gray fog.

After she joined the Tarot Club, Miss Audrey sent the big golden retriever to explain to her many magical aspects of the gray fog, including that the gray fog also had the function of anti-divination and anti-prophecy, and could store items through sacrificial rituals.

After the host of the party, the ancient god Mr. Fool, fell asleep, the members of the Tarot Club discovered that He seemed to have grafted some rules onto the gray fog, allowing them to use certain permissions when Mr. Fool had not yet woken up - of course, this required the explicit consent of more than half of the members of the Tarot Club.

Nowadays, Tarot Club members can sacrifice items to the gray fog, but when retrieving them, they need to vote and reach a formal half-majority agreement. Only then will the gray fog operate under the rules grafted by Mr. Fool and give a response to the retriever.

And in that mysterious space there are many gadgets that Mr. Fool was interested in before. It is said that Mr. Moon once tried to ask for a gift at the instigation of Mr. Hanged Man, and found that the process was roughly the same as the process of taking one's own items, except that the higher the level of the original items in the gray fog, the more people's consent is needed.

Through voting, they can also grant some extraordinary people the authority to enter the mysterious space of the Tarot Conference, allowing them to have the same treatment as the official members of the Tarot Club to some extent, but without the right to vote. This has also been tried on Adele.

"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the yellow and black king who controls good luck..."

Adele quickly recited Mr. Fool's name silently, causing the card to disappear in the flickering candlelight.

……

At the same time, sensing the aura of the "Witch" card, the White Witch Caterina Pellet, who was trying to search the area around the Sea of ​​​​Sand through the spirit world, suddenly froze, and a puzzled look appeared on her face, which possessed the beauty of women of all ages.

She found that she suddenly couldn't feel the card!
"Did someone seal it, or is there some other reason..."

She frowned and pondered for a while, then stretched out her right hand and gently hooked it. An invisible illusory thread stretched out from her fingertips, penetrated the barriers between the spiritual world and reality, hooked a flying petrel in reality, and then used it as a beacon to pull the whole person out of the spiritual world.

Catalina flew out of the boundary between the spirit world and reality lightly, and landed lightly on the sea surface, causing the sea water near the city of Constance to freeze rapidly. Although in the spirit world, she only moved a short distance, in reality, she had already moved hundreds of kilometers.

The spirit world and reality completely overlap in some unknown way, but this overlap is irregular. As long as you use the thread between the spirit and the real body to hook an object in any world, you can use it as an anchor to travel through the spirit world. Witches who choose to strengthen the thread at Sequence 5 and witches above demigod can use this method to travel through the spirit world, but it is far less convenient and quick than the abilities of "Traveler" or "Wanderer".

Due to the intricate overlap between the spiritual world and reality, Catalina had to prepare every time she teleported long distances. Unexpectedly, she missed a great opportunity.

Thinking of this, Catalina had the urge to raze the entire city of Constance to find the Card of Blasphemy.

However, just as she was about to raise her hand to release the plague, she heard her stomach growling, a feeling she had not felt for a long time since she became a saint.

Then, she began to bite her own arm uncontrollably, tearing the snow-white skin apart and swallowing the bright red flesh into her stomach to relieve her endless hunger. During this time, she did not even notice where the enemy was, and was severely affected.

She gnawed faster and faster until the flesh and blood on the arm disappeared, leaving only a round, brown and black wooden stick with teeth marks.

After that, Catalina's figure disappeared. A few seconds later, she and a slightly fat gentleman in a dark suit jumped out from the left and right eyes of the flying seabirds, and confronted each other hundreds of meters apart. The wound on her arm had not yet healed completely, and there were evil and strange patterns in the wound that twisted like a small insect.

The seabird's body began to fester the moment Catalina's figure left its eyes, and its flesh and bones were torn apart before it landed on the sea. The gentleman wearing ten jewel rings also showed similar symptoms on his arm.

Damn it, how did I encounter this wild demigod...

Catalina cursed inwardly in anger, but on the surface she suppressed her anger and negotiated with the other party: "I don't mean to conflict with you. I just want to go to Constance City to find something. This should have nothing to do with you, right?"

The gentleman adjusted the silver mask on his face and smiled slightly, giving people an indescribable feeling of hunger, as if he could eat ten roasted whole cows in one breath.

"Excuse me, I think there is still some connection, Your Excellency the White Witch."

He bowed slightly and saluted to Catalina in a somewhat funny way:
"Let me introduce myself. I am a member of the jury of the Psychological Alchemy Society. Constance is my jurisdiction. You can call me Glutton."
