Mr. "Fool" who hosted Tarot Club seemed to be busy with other things. He separated some members who were leaving and those who were staying and then disappeared. "Meeting Before God" was hosted by Mr. Fool's favorite, "The World".
What's more, this "commission" was originally issued by him, and the others were just collaborators.
Looking at "Empress", "Justice", "Magician", "Hermit", "Judgment" and "Star" that were also left by him, Klein Suddenly, I discovered that except for "Moon" Emlyn who did not participate because he had just been released by Nighthawks and was worried about being imprisoned again after causing trouble again, this hunt almost became a team-building activity for Tarot Club's Backlund members.
Unfortunately, due to the threats of Zarathus and Amon, I couldn't show up, otherwise it would really be a team-building activity... He muttered in his heart, first looked at "Justice" Audrey, and said in a low and indifferent tone:
"Congratulations on your promotion to 'Manipulator'."
Klein's words were deliberately unemotional, like business-like congratulations, in order to maintain the "world" persona.
But in his heart, he was actually very happy that the original member of Tarot Club was promoted again, and that Tarot Club added another Demigod.
Because "Justice" had already revealed this at the official party of Tarot Club, others were not surprised. They just congratulated her and quickly got down to business.
"Magician" Fors, who acted as hunting decoy, visited almost all Backlund's known Underground Gatherings during this period, and visited Underground Gathering on different occasions. Purchase the Potion material of "Scribe" and ask some questions related to "Apprentice" Pathway and Abraham Family.
Although she deliberately kept these things secret, and sometimes even hired other Beyonder to do it on her behalf, Fors believed that there was a high probability that she had attracted the attention of "Aurora Order".
At the same time, "Star" Leonard is using his position to continuously convey information about Underground Gathering controlled by Aurora Order to Church of Evernight and the cooperating Church of Storms "Mandated Punishers". In just half a month, several secret gatherings have been cracked down, and two Aurora Order members were even arrested, but no trace of Oracle has been found yet.
This extremely Earth Mother compressed the activity space of Aurora Order in Backlund, giving them a sense of urgency that "the situation is getting more and more difficult", which will force "Mystic Saint" to take action against the exposed bait as soon as possible.
According to the analysis of Demigod, the insightful Manipulator "Justice" Audrey, if the attack continues like this, Aurora Order may temporarily withdraw from Backlund before the New Year, and wait for the situation to improve a little Return to the city after easing off, but before that, "Magician" Fors, who obviously has a certain relationship with the Abraham Family, will become the last target of Aurora Order, especially "Mystic Saint" Butis.
"If, I mean if..." After listening to other people's analysis, Fors said hesitantly, "Mystic Saint really appears, will he kill me directly in order to make a quick decision and avoid being tracked by the official Beyonder?"
Although she is willing to take certain risks for the wish of her teacher Dorian Gray Abraham, it does not mean that she will recklessly go to death.
"The probability is very small. If it is in a battle, there is a real possibility that I will not be able to hold back and accidentally kill you. But if 'Mystic Saint' takes the initiative to ambush you and captures you, he should try to take you to a safe place for torture and interrogation, in order to maximize the value of you..."
"Judgment" Xio Derecha beside her made an analysis based on her recent work experience at MI9.
When he heard "torture", Fors shrank his neck. All kinds of severe punishments that he had referenced when writing novels flashed through his mind, and he felt phantom pain all over his body.
"... According to our previous analysis, there is a high probability that 'Mystic Saint' will use the '0' level Sealed Artifact he possesses to quickly control you. That is actually a relatively safe result. After all, it can seal you for up to 24 hours. Before that, we will definitely end the battle and release you."
Angel added on the side.
The words of Tarot Club and the only Angel made everyone present, especially "Magician" Fors feel at ease.
Although according to the plan, He will not directly participate in the hunting of "Mystic Saint" to avoid causing a violent reaction from Orthodox Church, but even if He is watching from behind, it can give everyone great comfort.
Only then did they realize the biggest difference in mentality between the wild Beyonder and the official Beyonder:
The latter is backed by Angel, level "0" Sealed Artifact, and even God.
And now, Tarot Club also has his own Angel, with his own backup, Angel who is full of personality and gets along well with everyone.
Regarding this matter, "Justice" Audrey felt the deepest, followed by "Magician" Fors. Especially the latter, I feel my heart trembling when I think of the look that "Empress" Miss cast inadvertently when I brought "The World" Gehrman to meet Dorian.
Thinking of this, she stopped raising questions and just nodded silently, acknowledging her position as bait in the hunting plan.
"You don't have to worry too much. Every time you attend a party, Mr. 'Star' will cooperate to attack other parties, which will attract other Aurora Order Saint who may be hiding in Backlund Note that there is only Butis who is interested in Abraham, and if the visitor is someone else, you can rely on 'Travel' to go directly to Church of Steam's church for refuge, and there will be almost no danger."
Seeing that her expression was a little gloomy, "Hermit" Cattleya still tried to persuade her a few words, then looked at Angel and said:
"If during the battle, a member of Aurora Order attracts a Angel that we cannot deal with, 'Empress' Miss will take action to stop him. Otherwise, she will not take action to avoid causing too much noise and attracting the attention of the official Beyonder."
Angel nodded slightly, took over the topic and said:
"I will prepare a side of Magic Mirror for 'Magician' Miss to carry with me. This will allow me to track her location around the world and project some power when necessary. In case Mystic Saint succeeds in taking her away, this will be the last resort to save her."
This is the promise of Angel... Fors muttered with emotion, and decided to keep this feeling in his mind as the content of the next "The Great Pirate Angelica" series.
At the end of the meeting, Leonard, who did not directly participate in the "hunting" but attacked Aurora Order as the official Beyonder, reminded:
"Although the plan is perfect, you still have to pay attention. By then, Backlund will not only have 'Mystic Saint', but also 'Saint Tenebrous'. He has appeared at the scene where the previous Oracle was killed, and is likely to continue to be in charge of this area. If you cannot fight quickly, you will face the counterattack of the two Demigod."
In the scene where everyone nodded to express their understanding, a deep red light flashed in front of Leonard's eyes, and he returned to his home in 7 Pinster Street.
After closing his eyes and recalling the content of the meeting and keeping the key points in his mind, he stood up and paced back and forth in the living room while whispering:
"Old Man, the hunt for Demigod has begun. If nothing else happens, there will be results this week."
The voice belonging to Pallez in his head chuckled and commented:
"Is this why you sat stiff on the sofa for an extra fifteen minutes?"
He immediately continued in a teasing tone:
"Even if that Saint really brought the '0' level Sealed Artifact you mentioned, it's not your turn to share the harvest. Let me tell you, they dedicated it to that 'Fool' ' is the best choice, hehe, 'Box of the Great Old Ones', the contaminated Sealed Artifact from Abraham's house is also among the top five dangerous items of the same class that I know of."
"It's so scary..." Leonard's eyelids twitched, "Should I remind them?"
"Whatever you want, but if no one mentions this Sealed Artifact allocation in your meeting, it means that they all understand what should be taken and what should not be taken, and you don't need to worry about it... You might as well think about how to ease the relationship with that little girl. After Winter Solstice, she seems to have never asked you out again, right?"
Pallez's old, lazy voice made Leonard's expression become strange. After a moment, he nodded and replied:
"I plan to take Shermane with me during the operation to eliminate Underground Gathering of 'Aurora Order' this week, and introduce her to other members of the team as my informant. This will be beneficial to her future cooperation with 'Nighthawks'... But why do you care about this matter?"
"I just think your progress is too slow. If I can see you solve your lifelong problem as soon as possible, it will be one of my wishes."
"Have you not lived for thousands of years? What else can you wish for..." Leonard sat back on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and suddenly his tone became a few degrees louder, "Wait a minute, Old Man, you mean you are leaving soon?"
"Perhaps, isn't this what you have been looking forward to?" Pallez's tone was a bit sad, "But this will have to wait until the value of the Jacob Family's treasure Internal Relic is confirmed, and the situation is not clear now, at least it will wait until the end of the war."
Old Man was ready to leave... Leonard sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
On the last night of 1350, Audrey Hall dressed up and came to the Sodela Palace to attend the New Year's Party held by the royal family.
This was the first large-scale banquet held by the new King Edessak Augustus after he succeeded to the throne. Almost all the nobles were invited, which cheered up the Backlund upper class society that had been cast a haze due to the war.
Audrey, however, didn't have much intention of having fun together. She danced a few random dances with a few acquaintances, and then came to the lounge on the pretext of being tired. She stayed with her Golden Retriever Susie and quietly looked at Crimson Moon outside the window.
Suddenly, a burst of gray mist appeared in front of her eyes, and a deep voice came into her ears:
"The action has begun."
