The mutated, out-of-control, and contaminated storm church bishops also seem to be an indispensable part of the experience.
However, Xia'er was too lazy to target these ordinary people. In time, a group of undead creatures would naturally entangle these Storm Brothers who might compete with Klein for monsters.
"Without the Medici family's indiscriminate blood sacrifices, Bansie Island is much less polluted than we imagined."
Xia Er ordered a lemonade at the local Lemon Restaurant and then had a sashimi platter for breakfast. Ironically, he initially thought the Elf King was from Chaoshan, but after some introductions from the Elf Queen, he dismissed the idea. If Earth's civilization hadn't been so completely destroyed back then, the Elf King might have been from Sichuan or Chongqing.
The next day, in the evening.
When the White Agate arrived at Bansi Port, Klein stepped off the ship, his brow furrowing slightly as he felt somewhat unwell. However, he didn't dwell on it and decided to find a hotel on the island to rest for the night. Staying in the cabin all the time was still a bit uncomfortable.
"Flame" (crossed out) "Servant" Danitz followed behind, intending to use his knowledge as a guide to get back at this dangerous guy. Under this subtle psychological influence, he strongly recommended that Klein try the famous local pig's blood curd.
Klein was also having a bit of a craving; he hadn't eaten this kind of traditional food in a long time.
On the way, the weather in Bansi changed quite quickly. Danitz continued to show off, "Don't you understand? This is the special weather in Bansi. This island is located in a region with drastic climate change and often experiences earthquakes, storms, and dense fog."
Klein believed him, but to maintain his persona, he simply nodded indifferently and calmly.
The fog gradually thickened. Hopefully, when Danitz slays the blood corpses tonight, he will be able to combine this with the ancient primitive worship here and recognize that those flying-headed barbarians and blood corpses may have come from the poor, innocent people sacrificed by the early island inhabitants.
Monday, October 1.
Tarot Club.
The ancient palace above the gray fog—Shael has once again come to these familiar places.
Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Angel'~"
Miss Justice greeted everyone cheerfully, starting with "The Fool" and ending with "The World." Although an angel who had basically never played with tarot cards before transmigrating had snuck in, things remained harmonious.
Haha, this time I specifically consulted Baron Wimandy, who is well-versed in history among the vampires. Who among you is going to ask me a question? Emlyn "Moon" greeted Miss Justice in a friendly manner, then slightly raised his chin and unconsciously glanced at the little sun beside him.
"Mr. Fool, I have three pages of Russell's diary."
"Mr. Fool, I also have three pages of Russell's diary here."
Miss Justice and Miss Magician spoke in turn. Derrick copied down some myths of the ancient gods and prepared a list of monsters near Silver City.
Xia'er felt there was nothing to spoil for the time being, and that Gehrman was doing well making some money at sea, so she maintained her usual observer's attitude.
Klein soon obtained the diary and the legends of the ancient gods.
He quickly skimmed through it, discarding some worthless content. It was nothing more than that Rosell received covert help from some foreign forces during his rebellion, but the Emperor remained vigilant. The rest was about how the Emperor made money through his wisdom and inventions. He didn't hold back his words, clearly describing the huge gains brought by each attempt. Klein's Dao heart was somewhat unsettled as he read it. How many Flame Danitz would that take?
The legend of the ancient gods is simpler: a confrontation between the pan-human camp and the non-human camp, the Destroyer Wolf and the Demon King trying to destroy everything, and Lilith, who is hailed as the embodiment of beauty, also has an ugly side, which can transform into a mountain of flesh covered with various 'wheat ears', spewing out black mist and creating all sorts of strange creatures, and so on.
It also describes Lilith as ruling the Red Moon, enabling long-term interaction between the spirit world and reality, releasing all kinds of terrifying monsters, and depicting the image of the ancient gods as even more brutal than that of the evil gods.
What followed was a simple transaction, and Audrey finally obtained the main ingredient for the potion that would allow her to advance to Sequence 7. Judging from her excited expression, Xia Er wasn't sure if she was happy for herself or for Susie.
Audrey also purchased the "Lies," a magical item created using the characteristics of the "Faceless Man," which gave her the ability to change her appearance and adjust her body shape. This surprised the girl as well. However, Alger was somewhat hurt by Alger's refusal to haggle over the price, even though he had already considered various possibilities.
He, the middleman who worked so hard, was only able to earn money thanks to Miss Justice's help, and what he earned was less than her pocket money. It was truly disheartening. He even missed the "ordinary" noble girl who, although wealthy, knew very little about the mysterious world.
After everyone finished their transactions, the "angel" remained the one who silently watched the show.
This seemed to have become the norm; even when Klein needed a telegraph machine, he would ask Miss Magician for help instead of asking the "angel" to do it for him.
"The Fool" Klein surveyed the Tarot Club, leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air, and announced that the members of the Tarot Club were free to communicate.
As usual, Miss Justice was the most active, but when it came to speaking, she found that she had nothing to say. The balls, the relaxing psychology classes, and the trip back to East Chestershire were not really suitable to be shared in a Tarot meeting.
"The Magician" Fors was still in a relaxed state during the New Year, his mind filled with the ease of his daily life. He didn't even want to leave his bed to attend the tarot gathering, so there was nothing more to say at this moment.
Xia Er chatted with "The Sun" Derrick about the little boy Jack's situation and learned that Lovia had been taking care of him. For a moment, Xia Er felt that Lovia might even raise the little boy as her own son.
"The sea has been relatively calm recently."
"The Hanged Man," Alger said with a laugh.
"This shows that everyone can still make a profit."
Xia Er laughed along.
The two exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to change the subject, "The World" began reporting Banshee's strange behavior to "The Hanged Man." He seemed to really enjoy using this tactic. "I've heard that Banshee's ancient customs have been revived, and a group of inhuman monsters have appeared."
"There's a tradition of human sacrifice there, targeting an evil spirit called the 'Weather God.'"
"Overseas, on the southern continent, and on various islands, there are still many similar evil spirits. Although they seem to have been eliminated, they often survive in some strange state, and many people die suddenly because of them."
When Alger heard this, he also recalled Bansi's condition.
"You're describing one scenario. Another scenario is that the evil spirits associated with the local beliefs have been secretly replaced."
"You should know that the Church of Storms is the most powerful orthodox church in the Middle Sonia Sea. It also has many enemies. There are always evil spirits on these colonized islands that cannot be killed. There should still be descendants of the Medici family living in Bansi."
Shael found it somewhat amusing; ever since the Fourth Age began—no…or even earlier—when supernatural beings gradually faded from the mainstream, evil spirits had never ceased to exist.
