The first Monday in July, afternoon.
New City of Silver, Fool big Church.
Derrick·Berg, who are more than two meters tall and wearing linen Robe, came to a secluded lecture room in Church as usual, silently prayed to "Fool", and waited for the convening of Tarot Club.
The reason why I came here to attend Tarot Club instead of at my own home was mainly because Derrick felt that the distance here was "
Fool"Sir, come closer.
Dang~dang~
Church The bronze bell on the top floor was suddenly struck, and Derrick opened his eyes suddenly.
There is no church service today, there is no meeting of the "Council" today, and there are no major events to inform the congregants.
Who's ringing the bell?
Derrick's eyelids twitched, and the name "Amon" suddenly popped into his mind.
He suddenly turned into a pure white light and shot towards the bell tower at the top of Church.
But the bell tower was empty, no one was there!
The bronze bell has stopped ringing----Derrick discovered that the bronze bell seemed to have never been struck at all!
The big bell in the bell tower is a large swinging bell. The metal bell hammer is inside the copper bell. You only need to pull the rope to swing it to ring.
But even if the hammer and the bronze bell are no longer in contact after the ringing, the bronze bell will still shake for a while before it stops. But the bronze bell in front of you is motionless, as if it has never moved at all.
Derrick frowned, did he hear it wrong just now?
It shouldn't be.
In terms of extraordinary things, he is no longer that immature rookie. He knows very well that the bells of Fool and Church have special meanings. Even if he heard it wrong, such an abnormality must contain something important Clue.
Derrick checked the bronze bell again before going downstairs in thought.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at Chapel, a bishop from Church of the Fool ran over in a panic holding "Fool's Bible"----
The half-giant bishop, who is more than two meters tall, runs with great momentum. If an ordinary person encounters such a situation, even if the other person looks kind, he will Consciousness get out of the way.
However, Derrick, who is also a half-giant, didn't think anything of it, but asked, "What's wrong?"
"Archbishop Your Excellency." The bishop saw Derrick and tried to calm down: ""Holy Bible" was deleted by a strange force!"
Derrick opened his eyes wide and took "Holy Bible" to look at it. Sure enough, some places became blank.
As one of the editors of "Fool's Bible", Derrick immediately discovered that the modifications were some descriptions of some Angels under "Fool", and the descriptions of different levels of "Fool" and "Lord of Evil Desires" were changed to the same level.
On the last page of "Holy Bible", there is a message that looks like a handwriting: I will return in one year and use Raphael's channels to convey my gratitude to "Lord of Evil Desires" and tell him that his plan can be implemented.
Mr. "Fool"!
Although there is no signature, Derrick can almost conclude that this is a message from Mr. "Fool"!
Because in the last Tarot Club, Miss "Justice" and Mr. "The Star" described how Mr. "Devil" tried to wake up Mr. "Fool".
Moreover, Miss "Justice" also mentioned that Mr. "Devil" once explained that the information they delivered in Mr. "Fool's" dream was an important result of "Lord of Evil Desires"'s fight against Divinity, and should have some effect on the problems faced by Mr. "Fool".
It is indeed useful!
Mr. "Fool" has initially woken up!
The bell just sounded was Mr. "Fool"'s announcement!
Derrick was about to jump twice in excitement, but when he thought that he was the elder of New City of Silver and the Privy Bishop of Church of the Fool, he forcibly resisted this impulse.
After taking a deep breath, he said to the bishop, "I understand. Don't tell others first. I'll think about what's going on first."
Derrick quickly calmed down, he was still not sure about his guess.
Fortunately, Tarot Club is about to be held. He can ask other members for their opinions, and after confirming his guess, he can announce the good news to a small group.
So Derrick left the bishop behind, quickly returned to the lecture room where he had been waiting, and prayed devoutly to Mr. "Fool".
Soon, his sight was covered by Gray Fog, he entered the Giant King’s Court-like hall, and sat on the side of Bronze Long Table.
"Justice" Audrey was about to say hello to everyone, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that Mr. "Devil" still did not participate in this Gathering, and noticed that "Sun"'s expression was abnormal, as if he was trying his best to endure his excitement, and at the same time he was a little worried, as if he was worried that his guess was wrong, and he was happy in vain.
So Audrey said very considerately, "Sun" Mr. seems to have something important to say."
"Sun" Derrick cast a grateful look at Miss "Justice". He suppressed his excitement and said, "Everyone, I just received a message from Mr. Fool" - I guess it was a message from Mr. "Fool", but I can't guarantee whether it was a prank by Amon."
Everyone was a little excited when they heard this. Last month, they had just heard "Justice" and "The Star" describe the process of trying to wake up Mr. "Fool". They did not expect to have good news so soon.
Without being reminded, "Little Sun" recounted his experience just now and asked for everyone's opinions.
"Judgment" Xio Derecha, who usually doesn't speak much, said first, "Before everyone makes speculations, let me tell you some information that I learned not long ago."
She paused and then said, "Although this information has little to do with Mr. Sun's description, it will be an important Clue or reference."
Qiu saw that everyone was looking at him. "The body of Amon entered Astral World two months ago. I don't know what it went to do, but what is certain is that it will not come back for a while."
Everyone was either a little surprised or immediately fell into deep thought.
Miss "Judgment" is right, this information is very important for their judgment.
"Hanged Man" Alger spoke first, "I think that is the message from Mr. "Fool".
"Because I have watched "Fool's Bible" and there are indeed many inappropriate things."
In fact, he reported this matter to Mr. "Fool" alone. At that time, Mr. "Fool" did not have Sleep, and had given instructions to Alger, who became Pope Sea God Church, to modify it as appropriate.
But this matter involves too much. After all, Sea God Church is considered a "subordinate organization" of Church of the Fool. Even if there are "foolish people"
According to Mr. 's instructions, if he wants to do this, he must also consult with Church of the Fool.
When this matter was in the preparation stage, Alger received a more important task from Mr. "Fool": to find Western Continent.
For more than a year, he has been wandering on the sea, with no time or enough manpower to do this.
Therefore, the modification of "Holy Bible" has been repeatedly shelved.
Alger continued, "My idea is very simple. If it is a prank by Amon, he will definitely tell us the message he wants to convey to us in a way that makes us all think he is Mr. Fool". There is no need to modify "Fool's Bible" by the way.
"So I think this somewhat vague way of leaving a message is exactly what Mr. Fool" would use."
Everyone nodded slowly, basically agreeing with Mr. "Hanged Man"'s idea.
"Moon" Emlyn suddenly said, "Can't you pray to Mr. "Fool" and ask about the authenticity of the message?"
"Justice" Audrey said: Mr. "Moon" and Mr. "Devil" once solemnly reminded us that we can ask Mr. "Fool" for help, but do not ask Mr. Fool" for help in making judgments.
"Because that judgment was probably not made by Mr. Fool, but his opponent was misleading us."
Of course, Raphael has another sentence that Audrey has not explained to everyone: Unless you can judge whether Mr. "Fool"'s judgment is accurate, but if you have such ability, why should you ask "Fool" to judge?
The reason why she didn't tell everyone this was mainly because none of the members of Tarot Club, except "Devil" and Raphael, had this judgment ability. It would be better not to say anything.
"Hermit" Cattleya said at this time, "Everyone, I think everyone has thought about this issue too complicatedly.
Everyone's attention was focused on "Hermit" again.
Cattleya continued, "Even if that message was not the instruction of Mr. Fool, what would we lose if we followed the message? Is it doubtful to print "Fool's Bible" with more appropriate content?"
Everyone suddenly realized: Yes! What's the loss? Mr. "Fool" was originally an ally of "Lord of Evil Desires", and "Lord of Evil Desires" was obviously bent on helping Mr. "Fool" out of trouble! Even if you follow the message, what's the point of saying thank you to "Lord of Evil Desires"? Shouldn't it?
There is also "Fool's Bible". Members who have read it all feel that there are indeed some problems with the description in it. The reason why this problem has not been exposed now is mainly because of the power of Mr. "Fool". People other than Church of the Fool can only choose to remain silent after reading it.
This matter is very sensitive. After all, people from New City of Silver once said that "Holy Bible" has already been approved by Mr. "Fool". Without instructions from other members, it would be difficult to question this.
But it's okay if others remain silent. Shouldn't Church of the Fool's people make some changes? This is ultimately a matter of improving Church of the Fool.
So even if this is a scam, it's the right thing to do, so why not do it?
"Justice" Audrey broke the silence. She smiled gracefully and said, "When thanking Lord of Evil Desires, I think "Lord of Evil Desires" should be able to tell whether this is a message from Mr. "Fool"."
In fact, Raphael can tell it, but Audrey is hard to explain clearly.
"Sun"Derrick asked again, "Who is Raphael?" Devil"Do you know Mr. Raphael?"
He only knows that Mr. "Devil" is the favored one of "Lord of Evil Desires", but he doesn't know the favored one's True Identity.
The others looked at each other in confusion. Without Mr. "Fool" to help deliver the message, those who knew that "Devil" was a member of Raphael could not contact him, and those who did not know about this matter could not contact him.
"Judgment" Xio said at this time, "His Messenger cannot be summoned recently."
She didn't know why this happened. Every time she summoned Messenger, she would only summon a ball of gentle light. This ball of light could warm the house for several days and drive away the moisture, but it had no intelligence at all.
"Justice"Audrey looked at Xio. Without looking carefully, she found that Xio had seen Raphael recently.
That's right, after Raphael chatted with Audrey last time and realized that this was a good way to strengthen human nature, he occasionally found time to have dinner with Sophia and have "in-depth communication" at night.
The reason why Xio knew about Amon's movements was that when Raphael came to see her not long ago, they talked about it while chatting.
things.
But Xio just tried a few days ago, and she couldn't contact Raphael at all. She was planning to leave her contact information when Raphael came to see her again.
Audrey did not continue to speculate on the purpose of Raphael's meeting with Xio, but turned to look at everyone and said, "Do you remember what we talked about last time on Gathering, the "Black Mage's Movement Castle"?"
Everyone nodded one by one. Recently, a series of extraordinary events related to "Mobile Castle" have occurred. Some of the scenic mountains suddenly turned into a huge stone statue of men and women having sex and making endless sounds.
Some are the tiles in a city that suddenly start talking; some are a group of bizarre-looking tree people who have long since disappeared suddenly appear in the city, demanding the right to live from the government, etc. These events do not cause much loss or harm, but they are embarrassing, or make people feel a little at a loss to deal with them.
Even members of Tarot Club wondered whether this was the work of Amon.
However, according to eyewitnesses, before these extraordinary events occurred, there had been a huge Castle that could keep moving.
And from the mouths of those tiles and tree people, Official Beyonder learned that there was a dark mage Evil living in that mobile Castle. It was almost certain that these things were done by that dark mage.
However, Official Beyonder dispatched Saint more than once, but failed to find the moving Castle.
Audrey said, "Raphael most likely lives in that Castle."
The reason why she had such a guess was that Raphael gave her the Gold Coin that could enter Mr. "Fool"'s dream for safekeeping.
Audrey, who is very curious about that world, often enters the dreamland of "Fool" to "explore" it.
Of course, her exploration was very restrained so as not to affect Mr. "Fool".
Audrey learned the elements of "Mobile Castle" from Mr. "Fool's" Dream World, so it is guessed that Raphael, who also comes from that world, should be the owner of "Mobile Castle".
"Hanged Man" Alger frowned and asked, "How to find that Castle?"
He actually wanted to ask "Justice", what if you make a mistake? Then there is a high probability that a Angel is digesting Potion. If you make a mistake, you can't leave just by saying "Sorry for bothering you".
Audrey "interpreted" the meaning of Alger, but she did not give any further explanation. Instead, she said, "I am sure that I can find the Castle. Leave it to me to contact Raphael."
