A powerful blessed one

The Blessed Pathway... including the "Fool" at the very head of the weathered long table, the same word slowly surfaced in everyone's mind.

There's no record of this in the City of Silver's records. "Miss Magician" is amazing... "The Sun" Derrick couldn't help but look up at "Magician".

It's a pity it wasn't through normal Pathway, otherwise it would have perfectly matched my imagination of Beyonder... Making one's fantasies a reality sounds amazing... "Justice," Audrey thought with a hint of regret.

There's absolutely no information about the "Blessed Pathway" in the Church of Storms's records. Is it because I lack the necessary permissions, or... do they not know it either?

It's unbelievable that all of this came from the mouth of a "Magician".

No, it came from her friend!

The Hanged Man gasped, glancing furtively at the Fool, who stood calmly at the head of the table. He knew the Magician's friend was one of His Blessed.

"The Fool" Klein appears calm on the surface, but inwardly he's filled with the urge to complain.

Besides the 22 Paths of the Divine, are there also Blessed Pathway?

What the hell is this thing?

However, the abilities of this Pathway sound quite bizarre and powerful; Sequence 6 already possesses the power of a "0" level Sealed Artifact.

Although, it's just an infinitely weakened version.

"Justice," Audrey coughed lightly, breaking the silence once more, a faint smile appearing on her lips as she spoke in a rather pleasant tone:

"Miss Magician, I have one more question."

Fors was quite friendly in the face of his generous benefactor.

"You say."

Audrey pondered for a moment and asked:

"I remember you just said that the Sealed Artifact '0-08' has the property of 'you know it, and it knows you,' so what about you and your friend...?"

"You probably can't avoid it when you're communicating, right?"

"Uh..." Fors hadn't expected the question to involve Lorry, and felt a little embarrassed. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Indeed."

"However, he said that after informing the other party in advance, mentioning '0-08' is fine, as the other party won't sense it."

"Moreover, he sealed my memories, which are only able to be recalled here."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," couldn't help but look at the figure at the very top, feeling that the other person's figure was even taller and more imposing.

One of His Blessed can actually fight against a Level 0 Sealed Artifact?!

Moreover, it's a top-ranked "0" level Sealed Artifact!

Fors's "friends" are really interested in her... Hmm, that's exactly how I fantasize about love... "Justice," Audrey thought to herself.

She also turned to look at Mr. "Fool," and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "The power of your Blessed is beyond my imagination."

"The Fool" Klein nodded slightly, muttering to himself expressionlessly.

Yes, I, this "Blessed," am indeed very powerful.

Unfortunately... I don't know him personally; my current understanding of him comes entirely from Ms. "Magician's" account and Newspaper reports.

Uh, no, that's not right.

I was still one of his readers, and I was so angry that I almost went to his house to check his Gas Meter, which is Pathway I found out he was a "Marauder".

It is highly likely to be at level Sequence 7.

But then a question arises: everyone is Sequence 7, so why does this guy perform so well and possess so much Concealment knowledge?

"You, as a ' Blessed,' are making me, God, lose face by doing this..." Mr. Fool muttered to himself, sighing helplessly.

Then, a thought struck him, and he casually reminded "Justice": "Outside of the public, don't mention that organization's name, and don't write it down."

"Justice," Audrey instinctively retorted:

"Why?"

Klein leaned back in his chair and replied calmly:

"Every word spoken will be known."

His calm voice echoed Above the Gray Fog, and people couldn't help but associate the words with "You know it, and it knows you."

It turns out that the reason the "Magician" friend was able to fight against the "0" level Sealed Artifact was because of the help of Mr. "Fool"!

Will I ever have such an opportunity someday? Almost everyone present, including Fors, had a similar thought at the same time.

Noticing the increasingly reverent gazes directed at him by the Tarot Club members, "The Fool" Klein sighed inwardly, a mixture of joy and worry in his heart.

The good thing is:

He seized the opportunity to elevate the image of the "Fool" once again.

But the thought of the impending Catastrophe, which could come at any time, quickly replaced this slight elation with deep anxiety.

Seeing that things were coming to a close, the "Hanged Man" spoke up at the opportune moment, telling the "world" about the Beyonder Characteristic and the latest developments regarding the Deep Sea Naga hair.

After the deal was struck, he turned to the "Justice" on the other side and asked:

"Could you tell me which organization it is? Also, I'd like to know the details of Duke Negan's assassination. What kind of payment do you want?"

"No, no payment is required. Isn't the principle of our Tarot Club to exchange common-sense information about our respective areas for free?"

"Justice," Audrey responded, carefully choosing her words.

After finishing her speech, she took the opportunity to express her request, hoping that everyone could help Advancement the Beyonder Characteristic needed for her promotion to "Psychiatrist".

After everyone made their promises, she nodded slightly, indicating that the others could speak.

Klein, controlling the "World" alt account, reiterated his need for the Human-Skin Shadow, then looked at the "Magician."

Fors paused slightly, suddenly remembering the other party's previous request.

"Uh, I forgot to mention that... I'm sorry," she thought to herself, "Mr. World, I didn't mean to..." and quickly began:

"He said that the nickname ' Gentleman Thief ' was no longer relevant to him."

"And also..."

Fors turned to look at the Gray Fog figure at the head of the Bronze Long Table, and couldn't help but shrink back, the conversation between the two of them from that day naturally flashing through his mind.

In the Bedroom filled with the Citrus Scent, she sat on the bed while Lorry sat on a stool not far away. Outside, she could hear Hugh and Albert cleaning.

He relayed Mr. Fool's and "the World's" words verbatim.

Then...

Lorry couldn't help but smile.

"They—oh no, he and He—have each asked you whether I wish to attend the Concealment gathering and retain the nickname ' Gentleman Thief '?"

After I nodded, I saw his smile become even more pronounced.

A few seconds of silence.

Lorry spoke with a half-smile:

"Please tell him for me that the nickname ' Gentleman Thief ' is no longer relevant to me."

"Also, please give my regards to that being."

Klein listened quietly to "The Magician's" speech and fell into deep thought.

The other party's straightforward admission that they were his Blessed stirred up a strange feeling in him that was hard to describe in words.

How should I put it?

He wanted the other person to refuse to attend the Tarot Club, but he couldn't understand why the other person was cooperating with his act.
