Since my will is so firm, there is no need to delay Hal's promotion time. She can be promoted now.

In this way, once combat power is needed, Hal can also help.

After explaining these words, Kronos took back his Consciousness, and Consciousness returned to Backlund.

There is nothing to do these days, so I continue to study magic in the room while monitoring Jason's home through Eyes of Mystery Prying, paying attention to the traces of Devil Dog.

October 15th, Monday.

It's the day of the weekly Tarot Club again.

After Kronos came to Sefirah Castle, he found that there was one more person attending the meeting this time.

The last time a new member joined was the trumpet account of Mr. Fool, so judging by the time, the ones joining this time should be Miss Magician--Fors.

It was another person that Kronos had met in Real World, but considering that it would be pointless to contact him so early, Kronos did not take the initiative to contact him.

"This is Miss 'Magician', our new member." Mr. Fool's introduction confirmed Kronos's guess.

After some introductions, the trumpet account of Klein was the first to speak, "I want to know the information about the two Sequences, 'Devil' and 'Guardian'."

In fact, Klein really hoped to get answers from Mr. Fate, but unfortunately, Kronos continued his previous style, which was to remain motionless and not say a word.

Kronos doesn't mind helping them casually when they can't get the answer, but since he can get the answers from Hanged Man and Little Sun, he really doesn't have to cut them off.

Since Kronos didn't interrupt in terms of information, he also didn't say anything about the subsequent formula transaction and Miss Justice's explanation of Acting Method.

Until Little Sun Derrick stared at him and said, "I want to know which seven God are the seven gods you call, and their general situation."

In the simple view of Little Sun, apart from Mr. Fool, only Mr. Fate is the most suitable answerer, and he should be able to give an answer that satisfies him.

But it is a pity that Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. World all indicated that they could answer this question, but only Mr. Fate did not make any statement.

Derrick asked unwillingly, "Mr. Fate, are you willing to make a deal with me?"

Kronos smiled, and then said, "You only need the general situation, then this question can be answered perfectly for everyone else here."

"What if I want details?" Derrick asked.

"Knowledge comes at a price. Not only can you not afford to trade now, but you are also not qualified to know that much. What they know is enough."

Seeing that Mr. Fate refused so intuitively, Little Sun couldn't force it, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

But this state also made newcomer Fors understand one thing, that is, this Mr. Fate is obviously at a higher level than the other members.

After the exchange of information about the Seven Gods, the three of them asked Derrick a question.

Miss Justice asked Information about Abyss Pathway, purely because he was curious about the cause of the serial murder case.

Mr. Hanged Man asked City of Silver about the creation myth.

And Klein heard a familiar name, so he asked about Demon Wolf Flegrea.

Derrick could still answer the first two questions normally, but when it came to the last one, Derrick himself was not sure, so he could only hope that Mr. World would ask another question.

At this moment, Kronos spoke, "I know some information, do you want to trade?"

Mr. Fate took the initiative to request trading information, which was a rare thing, so Klein naturally agreed happily.

"No problem, if you need anything, we can deal directly."

Kronos still needs a lot of things, but they are not what the current Klein can satisfy, so Kronos said, "I owe it to you. We will talk to you if you need it in the future."

Kronos It's not that I can't make any demands at all, it's mainly because I want to save this favor so that I can make a big one when the time comes.

What Kronos is now eyeing is Blasphemy Card, which can be obtained after Mr. Fool.

These Playing Cards can indeed be a life-saving thing in the hands of Mr. Fool, but after he becomes Demigod, the effect is indeed not too great.

When the time comes, Kronos might be able to exchange all those cards.

Playing Cards Magic has begun to take shape. In Kronos's opinion, this can become the most powerful skill in his hand, let alone Sequence 4. If the stamina is enough, he can keep using it until Sequence One.

Seeing what Mr. Fate said, Klein did not refuse. He was even more eager to decipher what the nonsense he heard was.

So Kronos started to talk. "Flegrea is one of the Eight Ancient Godss active in Second Epoch. Several other Mr. Suns have just said that his clan is Demon Wolf."

"His nature is madness, tyranny, cruelty, and coldness. He is often driven by instinct and is very crazy, almost irrational, and aims to destroy everything and pollute everything."

"Eight Ancient Gods is divided into three camps. Annihilation Demonic Wolf Flegrea and Demon Monarch Farbauti are pure destructive factions. What they want in their hearts is how to destroy the world."

"He holds the authority of two Non-Adjacent Pathways, namely 'Sleepless' and 'Seer' Pathway."

When he said this, Cronus glanced subconsciously at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top.

There was no demonstration at this glance, everyone here saw it.

This also caused Klein to have some thoughts in his mind, feeling that Mr. Fate was hinting at something, but the specifics were not very clear.

"Flegrea had many children, but some of them were killed directly by him, and some died in the war. In the end, a pair of his children escaped from the country of the Demon Wolf family and survived."

"That sister is Mother of Heaven who founded Nation of the Evernight. In the end, she was defeated by Evernight Goddess and became Sealed Artifact, which is number 0-17 Angel of Concealment. She is a living, but without any intelligence, Angel."

Kronos's narration stopped abruptly here. You can't really tell the names of Antigonus and Half-Fool, which would be a bit scary for the current Klein.

Legends of this level are not something you can hear casually, so everyone else was very fascinated by it.

After Kronos stopped talking, everyone still had something to say.

But everyone already understands Mr. Fate's character. If he doesn't continue talking, he means he won't be able to say a word.

There wasn't much in what Kronos said, but at least it gave Klein some guesses about the nonsense he heard.

After asking Little Sun about Miss Sharron's Sequence questions, this time Tarot Club was completely over.

The next day, Kronos took back Eyes of Mystery Prying, which was placed at Jason's house. Since it was useful today, it could no longer be kept there to observe the whereabouts of Devil Dog.

If there are no problems, today is the day when Bernadette goes to Roselle Memorial Exhibition.

In order not to miss her whereabouts, Kronos decided to go there early. Maybe Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics's theory would guide them to meet.

Kronos soon arrived at Royal Museum at No. King's Road 2.

After carefully observing with Eyes of Mystery Prying, he determined that there were no Demigod or stronger personnel in the security here, there was only a Machinery Hivemind team of Backlund West Borough, and Captain was just Sequence 7.

After determining the level of protection, an illusory hat appeared in Kronos's hand. Then he put the hat on his head, and his figure disappeared, hiding all traces.

To deal with these people, the magic Invisibility Hat is enough, there is no need to use Concealment Cloak.

Already concealed, there was no need to queue, Kronos strolled into Royal Museum.

Kronos was not in a hurry to go to the bookmark area immediately, but started to visit along with the crowd.

Kronos has seen the things that appear here before, but they were in Saint Hilleran Cathedral's storage room.

They look really different when piled on the ground and placed in a display cabinet.

Until Kronos came to Replication's Emperor Roselle's Study, he saw the special bookmark at a glance.

After all, I have kept it in my hands for a long time, and it is very familiar.

If I had known that Blasphemy Card was also Amanises's plan, Kronos would not have sent Black Emperor Card back.

Black Emperor Card and Justiciar Card are the two Blasphemy Card that Kronos knows best. If based on them, Kronos can at least activate the power of Sequence 4.

As a result, he exchanged Black Emperor Card for a Darkness Card, and all research had to be started from scratch. Even after so long research, he could barely activate the power of Sequence 5.

Once you have found the "strain", all that's left is to wait for the "rabbit".

Kronos found a more comfortable position and just sat there, waiting for the person he wanted to see to come.

Not long after, Kronos saw a familiar figure.

This is our Mr. Fool, Klein Moretti.

Although he put on heavy makeup to prevent others from seeing his true appearance, after all, he was not really promoted to Faceless and then changed his face. People who are familiar with him can still recognize him.

At first he looked around leisurely, but after he saw the Hardcover Book on the table, he became a little sneaky.

After all, Clown is a professional, and his performance was not very obvious. Kronos felt this way simply because he knew the direction of the story in advance.

Klein's eyes quickly scanned all the books on the surface, and finally stopped looking at the Roselle's Plagiarized Manuscript book.

Kronos is not sure whether there is a reason for Evernight Goddess's guidance.

Otherwise, why would Klein suddenly remember Blasphemy Card, and lock the target so easily without anyone noticing?

You know, this bookmark has been stored in Church of Steam and Machinery's hands for hundreds of years.

Kronos complained in his heart: cheating players, I can't compare with them.

As everyone knows, if his own situation were judged by others, he would definitely be a cheater.

For future actions, Klein walked around a few times, figured out the location relationship between several exhibition halls, and then left.

Until six o'clock in the evening, Royal Museum sent away the last batch of ordinary visitors in the museum, and then ushered in a group of visitors composed of the ladies of the Earl family, the children of the Duke family, the young Viscount and other noble people.

Near these aristocratic children, Kronos saw Machinery Hivemind West Borough little Captain, Max Livermore with the code name 3-1328 and nickname "Eye of Crystal".

For this reason, Kronos specially wore Concealment Cloak.

It is recorded in the original work that this Beyonder Item can directly see spirits, ghosts, and shadows. Although Kronos is not among these situations, there is no guarantee that traces will not be found.

But if it is Concealment Cloak, then you don't need to worry so much.

After the assassination of Duke Negan, Kronos met Miss Audrey again.

Among all the noble children present, she should have the highest status, so Max Captain's position is also closest to her.

Kronos watched this Miss Justice perform hard.

In order to fulfill Mr. Fool's instructions, she had no choice but to touch one item after another related to Emperor Roselle, including Flush Toilet.

Her idea was very simple. As long as she showed enough respect for Emperor Roselle, then there would no longer be anything suspicious about touching the bookmark.

After watching her performance for a while, Kronos felt that it was not interesting anymore, and instead focused on Susie.

Otherwise, the aristocrats are a privileged class, and they all bring their dogs with them when visiting museums.

Not long after looking at it, Dog of Imagination seemed to feel something and started to look around.

Such keen perception is not possessed by humans like Sequence.

So in Kronos's opinion, if you find the right Pathway, animals may be promoted faster than people.

It's just that humans are more tolerant. If genetic issues are not involved, humans can accommodate all kinds of Beyonder Ability.

For animals, adaptation is very important.

Considering the golden retriever's intelligence, Visionary Pathway is quite suitable for it.

At least in the opinion of Kronos, this adaptability is higher than that of my own Sea Eastern Green.

Qing was very happy at sea, being able to help Iron Anchor detect the enemy's situation, and catch the enemy off guard at critical moments.

It's just that it probably has no chance to reach the level of Demigod. It would be good if it can reach Sequence 5 in this life.

Seeing that Susie was a little wary, Kronos withdrew his gaze.
