Chapter 150 The first blasphemous card, the Black Emperor card!
Late at night.
In front of the exhibition hall where Roselle's manuscripts were stored, several members of the Mechanical Heart looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
None of them had expected that a small bookmark would disappear without a single sign in their tight defense.
There was clearly no suspicious movement, let alone any strangers approaching here.
Rather than believing that it was an outsider who came to steal, it is better to believe that this Mechanical Heart member stole the money.
"Don't look at me like that. It really has nothing to do with me. If I wanted to steal the bookmark, I could have done it long ago."
"You misunderstood. We just think what happened tonight is too incredible."
Another Beyonder said, "If you are the one who stole the book, we will feel more relaxed."
"We all believe that you are innocent. Don't think too much."
Max Livermore, the captain of the Mechanical Heart team, sighed, comforted the team members, and then said, "Report this matter. This is not a problem we can handle alone."
According to the situation tonight, the other party was able to sneak in here silently and successfully took the bookmark without being discovered. This is enough to prove that the other party's strength is far stronger than theirs.
Maybe it was done by a high-sequence strongman.
Such a person is simply not something their team can deal with.
Since the other party has no intention of hurting them, they must learn to be more sensible.
"Captain, what do you think that person did to steal a bookmark tonight?"
"I don't know either. Let's seal off the scene and wait for the people above to investigate."
...
At about 3:40 in the morning, Hasta returned home reeking of alcohol.
He went to the bathroom to take a bath first, then returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed and entered the Hall of Stars.
In the Hall of Stars, where the stars were still shining, on the quaint bronze long table, a bookmark that looked like a child's graffiti was placed in front of the top seat.
Hasta sat on the top seat, reached out to pick up the bookmark, looked at it for a while, and then uttered a name in ancient Fusak: "Bernadette!"
As the name of Bernadette sounded, the bookmark in Hasta's hand sank, and it immediately formed an invisible vortex that began to devour Hasta's spirit.
This degree of devouring was not severe, so it would be a great burden for ordinary people. For him, a sequence 7 briber, it did not have much impact.
A little light rose on the bookmark, and the image of the emperor Roselle outside also took on a new look.
He sat on an ancient stone throne, wearing a black crown inlaid with various gems, black armor, a black cloak, holding a scepter in his hand, and looking forward indifferently.
In the upper left corner of the bookmark, the brilliant starlight condensed into a line of text: Sequence 0 Black Emperor!
Hastur said with emotion: "The most suitable blasphemous card for myself has finally been obtained."
With this Black Emperor card, this extraordinary path is no longer a secret for him.
Then the bookmark began to become three-dimensional, like a compressed book.
The book moved automatically without wind, and a Russell wearing a white hood appeared on the side, with the ancient Fussac language description on the side:
"Sequence 9 Lawyer."
Below this line of words, there are potion formulas for lawyers, as well as various introductions to the lawyer's extraordinary sequence.
The book turned a page: "Sequence 8 Barbarian."
The content recorded above also includes the barbarian potion formula and related introductions to this sequence.
The book continued to turn over, in order:
"Sequence 7: Briber."
"Sequence 6: Corrupted Baron."
"Sequence 5: Chaos Mentor."
"Sequence 4: Fallen Count."
"Sequence 3: Mad Mage."
"Sequence 2: Duke of Entropy."
"Sequence 1: Prince of Order Killing."
"Sequence 0: Black Emperor."
This is a complete path of God, and it is also the path that Hastur will take next.
Hasta carefully read the knowledge in it. With Roselle, the real Black Emperor, as a teacher, he has a deeper understanding of the entire Black Emperor path.
Especially in the role-playing method, Roselle described it in detail, which sequence requires what kind of role-playing, what are the core roles, and what matters need to be paid attention to, one by one.
This can help him avoid many detours and help him master the abilities and characteristics of his own sequence more quickly.
In addition to the various useful knowledge recorded in it, this Black Emperor card has another very useful feature.
As long as you hold this Black Emperor card, you can have a subtle induction with the extraordinary materials you need.
The only pity is that it is recorded that this kind of induction is only effective for high-sequence strongmen in the Black Emperor Path.
He is now a Sequence 7 Briber, so this ability cannot be used for the time being.
After reading all the content, Hastur turned the Black Emperor card upside down on the table and began to think about how to deal with it.
This should have been Klein's adventure, but now it has fallen into his hands.
The extraordinary path he took was the Black Emperor Path, and it was impossible to give this card to Klein for the time being.
In this way, he would owe something.
Fate is sometimes fair. If you take something that does not belong to you, you need to pay the corresponding price.
"It would be great if there was another Blasphemy Card."
Hasta sighed slightly. Except for the Black Emperor card, the other blasphemous cards were very far away from him.
The closest one was a Red Priest card, but this blasphemous card was very dangerous. After all, the three-color hot pot was about to escape, but it was still a hunter path, and was best at setting traps.
Unless he was willing to trade with them, it would be difficult to get the Red Priest card.
In addition to this blasphemous card, there is currently the Wheel of Fortune card in Bernadette's hand and the Temperance card in the hand of the incarnation of the High-Dimensional Overlooker.
Bernadette is his favorite, so he won't steal her Wheel of Fortune card.
High-Dimensional Overlooker... Is He still chatting with Adam now?
Hasta thought about it and found that it would be difficult for him to get other blasphemous cards for the time being.
"It's not that there is no solution. I can help Klein overcome the difficulties in Roselle's diary and guide him to move forward more steadily."
Changing his major destiny is equivalent to paying off the price of taking this Black Emperor card.
The current situation in Tingen should have changed significantly, right?
Hastur thought for a while, then looked at the star where the High Dimension Overlooker was. He was still chatting with Adam, but the location of the chat had changed.
From the church, he came to the open space outside the church, facing the sky full of stars, chatting about the sea of stars.
"Really talkative, not resting in the middle of the night."
After observing for a while, Hastur logged off and left the Hall of Stars.
...
The next day.
The theft of the Roselle Memorial Exhibition attracted the Archbishop of the Backlund District of the Steam and Mechanical Church, Horamick Hayden.
"Are you sure that only one bookmark was stolen?"
"Yes, we have rechecked it, and it is true that only one bookmark was stolen."
While answering the question, the member of the Mechanical Heart took out a blank bookmark and drew the pattern of the bookmark last night on it.
Horamick Hayden stared at the bookmark for a while and sighed.
He already understood what the bookmark was.
The Blasphemy Card, one of the twenty-two tarot cards created by Roselle.
If he guessed correctly, the blasphemy card that was stolen last night should be the Black Emperor card.
Max Livermore, the team leader, asked respectfully: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, what should we do?"
"Don't make it public, investigate slowly in secret."
Horamick Hayden did not show any reproachful expression on his face, but was kind and full of encouragement, so that the members of the Mechanical Heart team on duty last night did not blame themselves too much.
In fact, in his heart, there is already a candidate worthy of suspicion.
Bernadette.
Roselle's eldest daughter, now the mysterious queen of the sea.
Some time ago, Bernadette stayed in Backlund and also came here to visit.
She is also the most likely person to see through the disguise of the blasphemy card.
Taking the blasphemy card silently without hurting anyone last night is also in line with her style of doing things.
It's just that there is one thing that is very strange. There is intelligence that Bernadette should be back to the sea now. Why did she suddenly return to Backlund to take this blasphemy card?
If you want to find out the truth of last night, you can ask Arrodes.
Horamik Hayden already had an idea in his mind, but when he thought of the evil taste of the mirror, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Finally, he looked at Max Livermore and said with a smile: "As the captain of this team, there is one thing you need to do."
"As the Archbishop orders!"
Max Livermore lowered his head, his expression extremely respectful and remorseful.
His team made a mistake last night, and he has been looking for an opportunity to make up for it.
"Very good, you ask Arrodes."
"Ah!"
Max Livermore raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of fear, but in the end he still bit the bullet and agreed.
