I Don't Plan to Save Him

"Dear Mr. Fool, I just ran into a friend of mine, and his condition has subtly changed."

After reciting the Honorific Name of [The Fool], Audrey continued to recount her recent experience:

"If it weren't for the Beyonder Item I carried, I might not have recovered until the incident was over. That extraordinary individual was likely High Sequence powerhouse with emotions and Mind Pathway abilities. His presence in the House of Lords was very likely to assassinate Duke Negan!"

Audrey first reported the situation, then lowered her head even further. "Revered Fool, I beg you, I beg you to send your chosen ones to save my friend. He is young and should not meet such an end."

A Spirituality intuition told her that the person who appeared before her was Cons, but for some reason, he was being controlled by a more powerful extraordinary being.

It's true that Cons's condition is strange, but there might still be hope for him!

Without a doubt, the extraordinary being sent by the Church will prioritize eliminating the threat. If they want to give their friend a chance to survive, they can only ask Mr. [Fool] for help!

"However, such a request would expose my relationship with Cons, Mr. Fool's followers might find out who I am because of it."

Audrey thought to herself. But because it involved lives, she couldn't care less about such details. After hastily finishing her prayer, the carriage arrived at the Hall Family's villa and was brought to a stop by the driver.

"Why are you driving in such a hurry? What if you fall and hurt the young lady?"

She heard her personal maid come out to greet her and expressed her displeasure with the coachman's "reckless driving".

"Annie, I told him to drive it like that."

Audrey helped the coachman out of the predicament, and then she helped him out of the carriage.

"Miss, where are the other two?"

Annie was naturally asking about Hugh and Fors.

"They had an emergency. Annie, are the esteemed Earl and Lady in?"

"Madam has gone to a tea party, while Master is at home entertaining guests."

Is it in the meeting room?

After Audrey found out the details, she sent Annie away and went to the reception room alone.

Although she had already arranged for Hugh and Fors to report to the Fool, she was still unsure and planned to go to her father again to tell him what had happened!

Meanwhile, in the East Borough, the area effectively controlled by the Lyman Gang.

One day, the Lord was passing by a house when He heard a wall complaining to Him.

Inside the auditorium, hundreds of Lamb gathered together, listening to Luther's sermon.

It's the factory's break time now. After finishing their morning work and having a full meal, they gradually gathered here. The Lamb came here not out of necessity, but purely voluntarily.

It was afternoon, and everyone had eaten a full meal. Logically, they should have been sleepy, but they all kept their eyes open, trying hard to listen to Luther's voice on stage.

Because, Your Excellency Your Excellency Missionary, what you said was truly interesting.

Unlike the obscure and incomprehensible sermons of Priest in Orthodox Churches, and unlike the intimidation and seduction of followers of various evil gods, Your Excellency the Missionary simply tells you many vivid and interesting stories. These stories are interesting at first listen, and upon closer reflection, they seem to contain some truths.

Just hearing these stories made them feel much smarter and less likely to be deceived like they were when they were homeless.

Luther on the platform was still preaching:

The wall said to the Lord, "Great Lord, look! These nails that are driven into me are causing me so much pain. They are burrowed into my body, causing me constant pain. Please punish these nails!"

"Then the Lord looked at the nail, and the nail spoke. The nail said, 'Lord, I am also a poor victim; my head was smashed by the hammer.' The hammer also argued that it was manipulated, and that people only hurt the wall because they wanted to hang pictures on it."

After telling the story, Luther looked at the audience and said:

"The wall's suffering stems from people, yet it only sees the nails that directly harm it."

Just like your difficulties, the root cause comes from the emperor at the very top, not just the police and thugs who are tormenting you.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence aloud, but only thought it to himself.

The Lamb reacted differently; some simply listened as a story, while others seemed to be deep in thought.

"Buzz--"

Just as he was about to continue speaking, a phantom voice suddenly rang in his ears, followed by an endless Gray Fog that spread out. At the center of the Gray Fog, an image of someone bowing their head in prayer appeared.

"Whoosh--"

The Tide within his body reacted automatically, but Luther pressed it down.

"Alright, that concludes today's sermon. Everyone, please go and rest."

He spoke calmly to the crowd, then focused intently on the prayers of the figures in the Gray Fog. Soon, the message conveyed in those words surprised him.

Is the Duke Negan about to be assassinated again?

Is the Assassin a High Sequence Extraordinary?

And this female voice, isn't that [Justice]? Why does she look so familiar?

As Luther listened, he frowned. He observed the figure's attire and felt a sense of familiarity from the distribution of colors, quickly connecting it to someone he had seen that morning.

Audrey Hall!

So, she is the embodiment of [Justice]!?

An unexpected fact suddenly appeared before him, and as he recalled more details from the party and their offline meetings, he became even more convinced of this fact. However, [Justice] had already been prepared to expose himself by revealing his relationship with a specific person in real life during his prayer.

Indeed, he heard Audrey's subsequent request and learned that she hoped Mr. Fool's chosen ones would intervene to save her friend.

The prayer ended quickly, and Luther heard the [Fool's ] lofty and profound voice again:

"You can think about it before making a decision; it's not something you have to accept."

Clearly, Mr. Fool also knew that Luther was only Sequence 5 and would have little chance against a High Sequence Extraordinary.

Luther's decision was --

I don't plan to go and rescue them.

What a joke! The forces that want Duke Negan dead are so mysterious and terrifying; there's no need for me to provoke them. Compared to that, preaching to the Lamb and digesting the Shepherd's Potion as quickly as possible is more important.

As for Miss Audrey's friend, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it.

Besides, Mr. Fool certainly has even more powerful allies. Even if he doesn't act, other, stronger allies will, and the effect will be better than if he did.

Having figured these things out, he felt even less burdened.

After finishing his sermon, Luther took a carriage, intending to travel to the Cherwood Borough to see Klein. The strange murals he had seen in the Amon's Tomb had puzzled him, and he planned to ask his colleague, who was knowledgeable about history, about them.

Cherwood Borough on the other side of Backlund, far from Empress Borough. A murder that happened in Empress Borough wouldn't possibly affect me.
