Mystery: A Spark

Therefore, Klein's attempts to cover this up are not very meaningful and will only expose his guilty conscience.

So he simply and openly brought it up, presenting himself as a mysterious figure who was quite interested in time travelers.

It is quite reasonable that someone who could easily detect the mysterious existence of time travelers would have a very thorough understanding of the most famous time traveler, Roselle.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Klein knows about Rosselvin.

They actually pointed this out directly... Arthur originally thought that K would first have him join the Tarot Club, and then slowly test him in the days to come.

But to his surprise, Klein directly revealed the unusual nature of his background.

This puts the pressure on Arthur.

So Arthur had no choice but to lower his head slightly and pretend to be nervous as he said:

"Dear Mr. Fool, although I have had some special experiences in the past, I am now just an ordinary extraordinary person."

He knew that Klein had the ability to observe other people's emotions above the gray fog, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

For a time traveler, lacking a sense of awe is actually quite normal.

This is also reflected in Cthulhu in the original work. His act of pretending to be a fool shows that he does not have the same reverence for gods as the natives here.

This situation is even more pronounced in Russell, who can be described as a typical example of someone who fears nothing in the mysterious world.

Moreover, as a provocateur of Sequence 8, Arthur didn't really have a good way to hide his true feelings.

Therefore, he didn't try to hide his true feelings too much; he just went through the motions and made a token gesture.

Does he think I'm going to slice him up? Klein found it somewhat amusing, but he sensed that the "Anduin" opposite him wasn't as nervous as he appeared.

When he habitually used his spiritual vision to observe the other person's aura, he also found that the other person's emotions were more calm and excited, without much tension or fear.

Has he only recently transmigrated here? Unlike Mr. "Hanged Man" and Ms. "Justice," he doesn't seem to have much awe towards mysterious beings.

In that case, simple deception won't work; I'll probably have to use bribery... Klein was making his own calculations.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm just a fool who likes equivalent exchange. I have no ill intentions towards you. You can use the knowledge you have to exchange for what you want with me," Klein said with a light laugh, maintaining his composure.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can help me with what you're asking for. If that's not possible, then I can only pretend that I'm not interested in your knowledge.

Thinking of this, Klein chuckled easily:

"In addition, there are two other people similar to you who I brought here for various reasons."

"They wanted me to hold regular meetings to trade recipes, buy and sell materials, exchange information, and delegate tasks."

"I agreed to their request."

Arthur understood the implication in Kelvin's words, which was precisely why he had gone to such lengths to get here.

Therefore, he also asked in a cooperative manner, "Respected Mr. Fool, may I also join this gathering?"

"Yes, but I'll make sure I'm in an undisturbed environment every Monday at 3 p.m.."

Klein smiled and pointed to the playing cards that had suddenly materialized on the surface of the bronze table, saying:

"They decided to use the names of the tarot cards as their code names. You can choose one yourself, but 'Justice' and 'The Hanged Man' already have owners and cannot be chosen."

At this point, you can still choose your own cards; after that, you basically have to rely on blind draws.

“'Chariot,' I choose the 'Chariot' card,” Arthur said, having already considered this question.

In Tarot, the "Chariot" card represents a king's chariot that overcomes obstacles and achieves victory, which matches its sequence very well and sounds very powerful.

Therefore, Arthur quite liked this codename.

Of course, since he chose the cards himself, he could have chosen cards like "Death," "The Pope," or even "The Emperor," which sound more prestigious.

However, in the original work, each code name in the Tarot Club seems to have its own occult meaning.

To put it in a more mystical way, each code name carries a different kind of fortune, just like the names of the gods in the world of "A World Worthy of Honor".

For example, the "Hanged Man" implies sacrifice, so Alger was originally supposed to be stabbed.

However, the squid later arranged a side quest for him in the western continent, which saved him from death.

In addition, other codenames such as "Sun," "Justice," and "Hermit" each have their own mystical meanings, or they can be interpreted as the will of the squid.

Since we've come to this world, we should naturally follow its rules to some extent; at least, adapting to local customs is never harmful.

Therefore, Arthur didn't dare to play any tricks in choosing cards, but instead honestly chose the "Chariot" card that matched his sequence.

"Tsk tsk, I wonder if I'll actually be able to overturn the whole world after I take this code name..." Arthur thought with some emotion.

Hmm, he seems a bit excited. This guy isn't even afraid... Klein used his spiritual vision to observe the colors of the other person's aura and found that there were red and yellow colors representing excitement, but no colors representing fear at all.

After the other player chose the "Chariot" card, Klein noticed a peculiar symbol on the back of Anduin's chair.

It was a strange pattern formed by an orc skull and two crossed swords.

This seems to be Gul'dan's skull and a pair of Azzinoth's daggers, so why is his design like this? It's a bit strange... Klein examined the design on Arthur's chair back and felt somewhat surprised.

Chapter 48 The "Eye" of Power

That night, Arthur went out to a restaurant for dinner and then returned to his room.

By the afternoon, he had successfully joined the Tarot Club and become a member, even earning the codename "Chariot".

Now, he is about to enter the Trial Illusion to undergo training as a Demon Hunter Instructor.

Upon arriving at the Trial Realm, the Demon Hunter instructor began training Arthur.

The main focus of this phase of training is the use of the battle blade, a unique weapon.

Before this, Arthur had always treated the pair of recruit blades as decorations because he couldn't handle such strangely shaped weapons.

The saying goes, "A month for a stick, a year for a knife, a lifetime for a spear; a precious sword is always at hand."

The use of this unusual weapon, the battle blade, is even more difficult than the double-edged sword of China.

Using this weapon without proper practice is risky; you'll be lucky to avoid injuring yourself, let alone attacking an enemy.

Not to mention that the blades here are in pairs, making dual-wielding even more difficult.

After a period of training, the instructor disappeared, which meant that today's training had come to an end.

Although Arthur was somewhat tired, he still stayed there to begin learning a new skill in sorcery, "Demon Skin".

During this time, he kept his ghost vision active, since he was blind here and could only rely on ghost vision for his vision.

Because he couldn't control this ability well, he didn't dare use it in the outside world, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't have.

As mentioned before, the ability of ghost vision not only allows Arthur to see the weaknesses of living beings, but also the structure of objects.

So, while learning spells with the Skull of Gul'dan, Arthur tried to better master ghost vision.

Through his ghostly vision, Arthur looked at the structural lines on the objects around him, and a strange idea gradually formed in his mind.

In his previous life, Arthur was very interested in online novels and had read a lot of them.

One book in particular left a deep impression on him, so much so that he even considered sending the author a knife.

Of course, this is not the point.

The key point is that in that book there is a girl who wields the power of force, and she can "see" the "eyes" within the structure of all things.

This ability allows her to easily destroy a target object by striking its "eye" with minimal force.

Using this technique, she could even trigger an earthquake.

Of course, Arthur wouldn't dare to dream of creating an earthquake.

However, Arthur could try practicing this technique of causing considerable damage with minimal effort by striking the "eye" of an object.

For him, ghostly vision gave him the ability to see through the structure of objects, which Arthur could use to try to find the "eye" in the object.

Without hesitation, Arthur found a relatively large rock and started breaking bricks with his bare hands.

The most suitable weapon for this attack method is actually the hidden blade with "sharpness" ability, but since he can't bring anything from the outside world in, Arthur has to try it with his bare hands for now.

There were successes and failures, but that didn't matter, because Arthur had determined that this was a viable technique.

So what remains is to gradually become familiar with and master your own abilities so that you can use this skill with ease.

……

The next morning, just as Arthur woke up from his dream of the trials, there was a knock on his door.

He got up, put on his coat, opened the door, and saw Frank standing outside.

Frank looked at Arthur, gave him a hearty smile, and asked, "Hey, Arthur, how did you sleep last night?"

"I feel alright. Did you come so early because of yesterday?" Arthur rubbed his face to perk himself up.

When Frank got down to business, he became quite animated and said:

"Yes, I thought about it all night yesterday and suddenly realized that I have too few crop seeds that I can use for experiments."

"So I came today because the ship is almost at Bayam and I was planning to ask you to come with me to buy some grain seeds."

Arthur thought about it for a moment and then agreed. He went back to his room to get dressed, had a simple breakfast with Frank, and then went to tell Cattleya.

Then, the two took a small boat to Bayam.

They went to the market and bought some of the common grain seeds in Bayam, then prepared to return to the ship to begin their experiments.

On his way back, as he passed under a bridge, Arthur saw a thin figure lying under the bridge in the distance.

He asked in bewilderment, "Why is someone lying there in broad daylight?"

Frank followed his gaze, squinted at him for a moment, and replied, "She has contracted a disease."

"What disease?"

"It's a disease that's hard to describe," Frank said in a low voice.

"At sea, many girls were sold to the Red Theatre after their families went bankrupt. Although the Emperor had invented condoms long ago, many pirates were unwilling to use them, which ultimately led to such tragedies."

The two did not speak again and walked forward in silence.

Arthur kept staring at the thin, reclining figure until it was about to disappear from his sight, at which point he stopped.

Frank stopped as well, but he didn't say anything, just silently observed Arthur's reaction.

After a moment of silence, Arthur asked, "Can this person be cured?"
