After some bargaining, "Sun" Derrick bought "Calamity", "Petrification" and "Gathering of Crowds" Charm for 8,000 pounds for Processing Fee One each for E. The raw materials will be raised by him and sent to Forsaken Land of the Gods through "The Fool Express", while Gold Pound will be paid for by the money he saved from Tarot Club members in his previous trading materials.
With this money, and the Gold Pound that Klein got from selling Beyonder Characteristic, the two of them already had plans: to continue donating to organizations like Loen Charity Student Aid Fund to compensate those who lost their loved ones, were injured and disabled in the war.
Even though this war was planned by George III, started by the invasion of Feysac, and is about to reach its climax with the addition of Intis, they also believe that they have a certain responsibility and will work hard to end the war as soon as possible and make up for the related losses.
When the transaction came to an end, "World" Klein looked at "Magician" Fors. First, he asked about the digestion progress of "Scribe" after traveling around the world. Then, with the other party's expression of fear and confusion, he asked her to contact Abraham Family members, looking forward to a letter or face-to-face conversation.
This is him preparing for Switching Pathways... Angel After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw "Magician" hurriedly agreeing as if he was suffocating.
The last time she saw this writer who traveled around, recorded local customs and legends, and helped Klein write those strange stories, he almost shrank into his seat like a frightened quail.
After completing various transactions, the party entered the next stage. Alger, who had recovered from the shock of Angel being promoted to Angel, looked around and said:
"You should all have heard about Loen National Speech's 'assassination' on King George III last Saturday."
He knew that more than half of the people in Tarot Club often live in Backlund, so he used an affirmative tone.
"It has spread all over the sea. This is a major event that will change the world situation. As soon as the news came out, Intis Republic assembled a large number of troops at the Hornacis Mountain Range on the border. It seemed that they were ready to join forces with the Feysac Empire to carve up Loen's land and interests.
"Once Intis's army crosses the mountain border and enters Sivellas County, it will be able to set foot on the large plains in the middle of Loen, pointing directly at Loen's important hinterlands such as industrial areas and granaries. However, almost all of Loen's army is concentrated in the north to deal with Feysac's attack, and is completely unable to fight against the invaders on the other side."
"Hermit" Cattleya added.
She lost her parents when she was young and grew up next to "Queen Mystic". She considers herself to be half Intis, but as a Pirate Admiral, she always lacks a corresponding sense of belonging to the country. Whether Loen attacks Intis or Intis invades Loen, it makes no difference to her.
But the faces of "Magician", "Judgment", "Star" and other Loen people have changed. They have learned about it from newspapers, but they still lack some real sense. At this time, after listening to Cattleya's analysis on Tarot Club, they discovered that their country has fallen into a major crisis.
Only "Moon" Emlyn looked confused. He looked at the others and asked curiously:
"King was assassinated? Is it the George Augustus III printed on the coin?"
He has been imprisoned underground at Church of Evernight during this period. His knowledge of outside information is limited to the chats between Nighthawks who brought him food and blood. He has no idea about the major events that happened in the past few days.
"Yes, that's your Majesty," Audrey replied for the others, looking at the "world" at the end of the long table, "Mr. World, you reminded us before that George III would start certain actions after the death of the big Prince Gowenton... Is this related to what happened two days ago?"
Although it has long been expected that the death of King is closely related to the "world" and "Empress", Audrey is still eager to know the real answer.
Against her gaze, "The World" Klein looked at Angel, indicating that she would answer this important question.
Before participating in Tarot Club, the two decided to appropriately disclose part of the truth to other members. On the one hand, this was closely related to them being in various forces, and on the other hand, it was also to obtain their assistance in other subsequent actions.
After receiving the signal from Klein, Angel nodded. He first glanced at Mr. "Fool" and saw that he had no objection and was in a "tacit approval" state. Then he coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention and said after careful consideration:
"You should still remember the 'Black Emperor' Apotheosis Ritual that Mr. Fool told us before, right? Nine mausoleums, an empire, its own order and nationwide sacrificial activities."
Seeing everyone nodding to express their memory, she continued:
"George III planned these things. He, or he, violated the agreement between the royal family and Three Great Churches, jumped to Sequence 1 of 'Lawyer' Pathway, gathered the required Beyonder Characteristic, and formed his own through the laws promulgated in the past The new order, secretly excavated the ruins of the Tudor period as his tomb, put on the crown of the Balam Empire, became the living emperor, and took advantage of the death of the great Prince to hold nationwide speeches and condolences, completing all preparations for ascending to 'Black Emperor' God's Throne.
"Trafficking people to excavate ruins across the country, creating Backlund Great Smog to cover up the facts, and actively preparing for war to stimulate neighboring countries to initiate war are all part of the 'plan'.
"Behind this incident, 'Angel of Imagination' Adam was also preparing to advance to Sequence 0 by taking advantage of the trend of the times, so he gave George III a lot of help. The attitude of the gods was also very ambiguous, which resulted in the church failing to stop him in time.
"While giving a speech last Saturday, He secretly came to the mausoleum, took Potion, and prepared to become True God amidst the resonance of the nation's mourning. Unfortunately, what He did caused a lot of dissatisfaction. The forces opposing Him gathered together, destroyed part of the mausoleum, destroyed the ceremony, and He also died out of control and madness."
This short narrative left everyone in Tarot Club in shock. Thoughts were constantly bursting out in their minds, and they thought of various clues from the past and connected them together.
No wonder Mr. Fool has been paying attention to the truth behind Great Smog, and has long reminded us that this matter is not over yet. It turns out that this actually involves the birth of a True God. From this point of view, He is actually opposed to George III becoming "Black Emperor", and "Empress" and "the world" are for the will of Mr. Fool and to stop King from killing his own people. E, risking his life to investigate these things, finally achieved his goal... "Justice" Audrey's eyes were shining, and he looked at Angel beside him from time to time, and his hands under the table clenched in excitement.
Human trafficking... This matter is actually related to Apotheosis Ritual of "Black Emperor". The church actively investigated it in the early stage, but in the end it was ignored. It turned out that it was ready to recognize George III by pinching its nose, but it did not expect that this would-be "Black Emperor" would take the last step to the throne. Being pushed to the ground was the result of offending Mr. "Fool" and Mr. Tarot Club... From the words of "Empress", he clearly noticed that the other party was also involved in the matter. "Hanged Man" Alger was very excited and proud.
"Black Emperor" and the secret mausoleum are connected... According to the ceremony, if the new Black Emperor is born, the old one will be completely buried. No wonder the Queen is also actively involved in this matter, and even told me in advance that she might not be able to come back this time... "Empress" participated in the attack on the mausoleum? This is a ceremony for a True God. He will face at least one King of Angel, as well as a varying number of Angel, Saint within the royal family, plus "Angel of Imagination" Adam... She was secretly promoted to Angel before this? Or perhaps by destroying the "Black Emperor" ceremony, some promotion requirements were achieved?
As "Mysticologist", "Hermit" Cattleya thought more, she couldn't help but look at "Empress" closest to Mr. Fool on the female side, recalling Demoness Pathway Sequence 2's Potion name, "Catastrophe" Demoness, guessed that the original requirement of the ceremony was probably to set off some kind of major Catastrophe, but the other party could actually use the method of blocking the birth of True God to replace it, which made her surprised and admired.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask:
"Who are the two parties involved in this battle Beyonder and... God?"
When she said the last word, she stiffened for a moment and her tone changed.
"A lot... it was a free-for-all."
Angel replied with a smile, went through the list in his mind, and continued:
"George III itself is Archangel, and may even accommodate multiple Beyonder Characteristic. The royal family has at least one Archangel, one Angel and one Saint who is in charge of the '0' level Sealed Artifact. Foreign aid has created Ancient Hermes's Hermes, 'Rose School''s Abomination Suah, 'Angel of War' Medici who temporarily restored the strength of Sequence 1, and Zarathus, who has been missing for more than a hundred years and recently returned to reality, is hiding behind the scenes to help.
"Including off-field factors, there are also 'Angel of Imagination' Adam and 'Angel of Time' Amon.
"The attacking side consists of the royal family's Opposition Faction, several Angel who have not yet reached their peak strength, as well as 'Queen Mystic' and '' Golden Queen', Mad Adventurer, Evernight Goddess's beloved and Divine Descent Vessel of Primordial Demoness contributed part of their strength, the most important thing is...
"Even if the Seven Gods acquiesce, Mr. Fool is opposed to this matter."
With that said, she turned to the head of the long table, bowed, and expressed her gratitude to this being who had always been unequivocally opposed to George III and provided help to her and Klein.
Hermes, Zarathus, Medici, Adam, Amon... Listen Angel read out each of the thundering names like the names of dishes, even if they were slow like "Sun" and "Moon", they briefly fell into a sluggish state.
Counting Saint holding "0" level Sealed Artifact, Angel from these George III factions can fill up The remaining seats of Tarot Club are vacant. Even if all Three Great Churches in Loen join the battle, as long as God does not come, they may not be able to defeat them.
But it sounds like just relying on a few weak Angel, "Empress" and "The World" broke through their defenses and destroyed the ceremony of "Black Emperor"?
It is true that according to the ceremony, the defender needs to protect all the tombs, and the attacker can choose a few key points to attack to create a local combat advantage. However, the success of this disparity in strength can still illustrate the true strength of the two members of Tarot Club, and...
... The decisive force represented by Mr. "Fool"'s attitude!
The development policies of "Church of the Fool" and Minor Arcana Brand, which "Empress" jokingly proposed a few months ago, now seem to be not only not a joke, but a sign of strength.
After indulging in a moment of shock, everyone gradually recovered. While digesting such heavy news, they looked at each other, wondering who should continue the conversation.
After a long silence, "Hanged Man" Alger said with dry lips:
"I heard that Church of Storms urgently recalled part of the fleet and Beyonder, issued new tasks, and became more active in this war... I originally thought it was caused by Intis invading Loen, but now it seems that there is another reason?"
As he spoke, he carefully looked at Mr. Fool, then turned to "Empress", expecting them to give answers.
Unconsciously, he already regarded "Empress" as "him" in his heart.
I know how to answer this question... Angel moved the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Mr. Fool knock on the table. The thud attracted everyone's attention and said in a low, joking tone:
"'Eternal Blazing Sun' is about to join the war, and 'Lord of Storms' will naturally not let it go. Moreover, Adam's trend of the times can no longer be stopped, and he no longer has any scruples.
"The war sweeping the world, and the divine war that will involve most of God, is about to begin.
"Are you ready?"
As he spoke, he glanced at a member named Tarot Club. Everyone who was seen stiffened and their brains fell into a state of sluggishness.
They all thought of the conflict between "Adjacent Pathways" mentioned by Mr. Fool not long ago, and knew the cause of the divine war at the top of the secular war.
But for thousands of years ago, the seven gods were in peace with each other, and there were occasional small frictions between countries, which would not cause God conflicts.
Now, what is the urgent reason for God of Combat, Eternal Blazing Sun, God of Steam and Machinery, and Earth Mother to raise their swords towards Loen where Lord of Storms and Evernight Goddess are?
