The transaction did not last long before it ended.

After all, by now, most people have reached Sequence 5, with the lowest Fors and Hugh at Sequence 6, and they have no shortage of Potion recipes and materials for the next Sequence.

It seems that future Tarot Club gatherings will focus more on information exchange.

"Mr. Fool, I request to speak with [the Star] alone."

As soon as Klein announced the free exchange, [Moon] Emlyn looked toward the head of the long table and pleaded listlessly.

When can I get out?

Emlyn immediately asked after everyone else's senses were blocked.

He felt like he'd been locked up in the church's basement for over a decade. For the past few weeks, at least [The Star] was watching him, and he could at least have a few words with him. But recently, this guy had actually been transferred because of a promotion...

"It's hard to say."

Leonard shook his head and said, "Feynapotter is currently waging war against countries like Lenburg and Segar, which is holding our Southern Legion in check. As believers of the Church of the Earth Mother, you are already being treated well by being kept in protective custody."

"No! I don't believe in the Mother Goddess... the Earth Mother Goddess!"

Upon hearing [The Star] mention faith, [Moon] Emlyn Consciousness his voice in rebuttal, seemingly trying to mask his unease, "My only faith is in our ancestors!" "Hmm, hmm, hmm, believe whatever you want."

"And you, you've gotten a promotion and a raise, become Squad Leader. Do you even know how long it's been since I've drunk the blood of a pure young girl? The blood of you sweaty men makes me want to vomit..."

Emlyn was half complaining and half lamenting that he was now locked up underground all day, and could only get some fresh air during the Tarot Club each week.

"Think of a way, for Mr. Fool's sake!"

He pleaded as a last resort.

"How about this?"

Leonard was at a loss for words when asked, "Have your Sanguine high command think of a solution. The war is intense lately, and there's a huge need for medical aid. The Royal Family and the Church both need them; they should be able to put in a good word."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Emlyn's eyes Moon up, and he nodded quickly.

How come I didn't think of this after being locked up underground for so long!

"Then can you help me..."

He turned to Leonard. "I have other things to do, you Leonard the Star refused, " Magician and Judgement are both in Backlund, they're a better fit."

"Hmph, if you won't help, then don't."

Once the hope of freedom was discovered, [Moon] Emlyn once again reverted to his former arrogance, "You have lost a precious opportunity to gain the friendship of the Sanguine."

It's as if I really need it...

Leonard quipped, bowing to the Fool and asking him to unblock him.

There's something I think I should share with you all.

He addressed the group, whose senses had just returned, saying, "Recently, many unusual things Aurora Order..."

Luther raised his head.

Explain in detail.

He said.

I knew you'd be interested... All that time I spent gathering information wasn't for nothing...

Leonard's lips curled into a smile as he nodded. "Most of them succumb to fear and madness, and begin mass sacrifices, the target of which is themselves. Often, a regional headquarters is destroyed in this way... This happens throughout Loen." Mass sacrifices by Cultist... that sounds terrifying...

[Justice] Audrey, both frightened and curious, interrupted, asking, "Then why would they do such a thing?"

"Based on some evidence from the scene, it seems that their connection with the True Creator weakened, and they could no longer perceive the existence of the evil god they worshipped, thus committing suicide in despair and fear."

Leonard replied.

"This situation isn't unique to the Aurora Order."

Just then, [Hermit] Cattleya, who had been offline for several minutes, finally came to her senses and added, "Within Intis, the Iron and Blood Cross Army, Pathway also believes in the True Creator and primarily relies on 'Hunter,' also frequently engages in mass sacrifices."

In other words, the problem isn't with the Aurora Order, but with the True Creator at the source...

Audrey analyzed.

She glanced Consciousness at [Temperance]'s figure, only to find that his shoulders were trembling slightly.

"Isn't this great?"

Luther's voice carried a hint of laughter, "The Cultist died for their beliefs, without attacking anyone or causing any trouble for society."

He knew perfectly well that these guys' abnormalities stemmed from the [Blood God] usurping the faith of the True Creator, rendering them unable to perceive their own deity, thus leading to their suicides... It could only be said that faith in an evil god was like poison, impossible to quit; its absence would bring intense pain, even to the point of self-destruction. It seemed to be related to [Temperance].

[The Hanged Man] Alger observes Luther's reaction.

Could he have heard about this message too...?

"Speaking of the Aurora Order, I also have some information."

He raised his voice to draw everyone's attention before saying, "In recent days, a strange Fleet has appeared in the Sonia Sea. Their sailing ships are painted with the blood-red Sacred Emblem of the True Creator, and they are crossing the Ocean, heading straight for dangerous waters."

Aurora Order?

Fleet?

Upon hearing this news, Luther frowned.

Is the news reliable?

He asked [the Hanged Man].

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the information is highly likely to be true."

Alger said, "I heard the news from the Loen Navy... They were engaged in battle with Feysac's fleet when the Aurora Order's ships suddenly appeared in the battle zone. The leader of that Aurora Order Fleet seemed to be a Demigod, easily defeating both sides of the navy, and then continued sailing east." Please remember the only official website: www. deqixs. org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

It seems some believers have remained clear-headed... which is understandable; it would be abnormal if none did... and this direction is also intriguing... eastward—is it heading to the Forsaken Land of the Gods?

Luther lowered his head in thought, recalling the contents of those murals.

The True Creator's Sanctuary, or rather, the Divine Kingdom, lies in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Before the Aurora Order, there were always scattered Saint; the fact that such a large group has now gathered suggests that they are likely all the remaining conscious believers... Are they Mimic the events of the late Fourth Epoch, following the "Angel of Fate," Ouroboros, to the Divine Kingdom for protection...?

Thinking of this, he looked up at [the Sun] Derrick.

Have you seen this group of people at the "Giant King’s Court"?

Luther asked directly.

"Huh? No..."

Derrick answered blankly.

So where are you now?

"Following the Mr. Fool's instructions, we found the path behind the Royal Court and are now in the 'Decaying Forest'..."

Derrick replied.
