Preparations for Entering Chanis Gate
And as Kronos predicted, everyone in the Tarot Club was quite surprised.
To them, Blasphemy Card posed no real threat, but they weren't exactly ordinary things either.
Furthermore, given that it was crafted by Emperor Roselle and is rare, it is an extremely valuable item.
As a result, Mr. Fool actually gave away the Blasphemy Card just because someone helped the Beloved.
The Mr. Fool, seated at the head of the table, continued, "This man is the Mr. Fate. Thank you for helping my chosen ones in Bayam stop the Angel of the Rose School."
"This Tyrant Card is my thank-you gift!" After saying that, the Tyrant Card in his hand floated towards Kronos.
There's another crucial point about this scheme: Mr. Fate must not reveal the truth behind it.
Klein was no novice in the extraordinary world, so he knew very well that his identity as Mr. Fool was still quite intimidating to outsiders.
So he wanted to use this identity to fool this Mr. Fate.
For Kronos, revealing the truth would not bring him any benefit, so there was no need to do so.
Having built up so much goodwill over this long period, why would I want to do something that would ruin it?
So Kronos remained silent, watching the card float towards him.
Klein's acting was not bad, and Kronos chose his roles well, while the rest of the people were in a state of shock.
Mr. Fool's followers have surprisingly partnered with Mr. Fate to deal with the Rose School, and Angel have even intervened.
This Message is huge news for everyone else; they've never even heard of it before.
After the Blasphemy Card floated to Kronos, Kronos reached out and took it, then nodded his thanks to Mr. Fool.
"Thank you for the 'gift,' Mr. Fool."
The word "gift" was emphasized, and no further explanation was given.
Kronos is a powerful figure, so he shouldn't show his dissatisfaction too obviously, but he also shouldn't be too obsequious.
The others, still in shock, didn't notice what was happening; only Klein himself realized it.
Although he understood, Mr. Fool could not react, because he had to maintain his composure.
Mr. Fool cannot react doesn't mean Mr. World cannot either.
So Klein, controlling Mr. World, said, "I must thank Mr. Fate for saving my life. Besides Mr. Fool's gift, I owe you a favor. I will never refuse if you need me."
Making such an empty promise was a last resort; Klein couldn't think of anything that could appease Mr. Fate, but Klein genuinely intended to fulfill this promise.
In Bayam, Mr. Fate suddenly appeared, stopped the danger, and let him leave first.
This allowed Klein to truly experience the joy of clinging to a powerful figure, so he didn't want to lose this powerful patron so soon.
Kronos didn't say much in response to Klein's words, he simply nodded.
Even this small response pleased Klein greatly; at least Mr. Fate didn't intend to part ways with him.
Mr. World's voice brought everyone back from their shock.
Audrey was the first to speak, "Mr. Fate, have you done something great?"
Kronos replied, "It's the Rose School. They're probably looking for something, and Mr. World happened to have some Information, so they swarmed here. I just helped to hold them off."
Alger continued, "I think I saw in the church's internal intelligence that the power of Suah Descent upon Bayam, and the Lord of Storms personally intervened."
Kronos did not deny it, nodding and saying, "That was indeed the power of the Abomination. Later, just then, Aarn arrived, which attracted the attack of the Lord of Storms, shattering His power."
Some members of the Tarot Club were still unfamiliar with these names, so Alger explained to them what Suah, Abomination, and Aarn represented.
Upon learning that Mr. Fate was facing Archangel of Sequence One, the reverence for Mr. Fate reached its peak.
Mr. Fool's plan certainly succeeded, but Kronos himself suffered no loss, so the performance could be considered a win-win situation.
Now that the show is over, it's time to move on to the next phase of free trade.
Mr. World looked at Alger and said, "After this gathering, I will give you the Beyonder Characteristic of the Ocean Songster and have Artisan craft it into a portable Mystical Item."
Prior to this, Alger had always been the middleman connecting Artisan at the Tarot Club, so it was only natural that they would seek him out.
But this time, Alger said, "The Artisan has disappeared. I can't find him, and he didn't leave me any Information."
Alger had been in contact with Sharf, but Sharf had been taken away by Bernadette, so he could no longer reach him.
Alger really wanted to make a profit from the price difference, but he didn't dare to accept the commission rashly because Artisan were hard to find.
That one sentence completely disrupted Klein's plans.
He not only possesses the Ocean Songster, but also the Mentor of Disorder title.
There are no members of the Black Emperor Sequence in the Tarot Club, so naturally no one needs it for advancement; it's best used to craft Beyonder Item.
However, if the Artisan disappears, then this Beyonder Characteristic won't fetch a good price.
Just then, Cattleya spoke up, "Why don't you leave it to me? I know where the Artisan are."
Cattleya knows quite a few Artisan; there are several of Artisan just above Dawn of Elements.
Besides the Dawn of Elements, she also knew that there was a Artisan on the Iron Anchor.
In chaotic regions, Artisan are highly sought-after and rare resources, so many people know of Roel's existence.
However, everyone knew that Hal and Gner were on the Iron Anchor, and Todd was on the Flame; these were influential figures at sea whom they could not afford to offend.
So Roel was living a pretty good life. When he was in a good mood, he would take on a couple of missions, and when he was in a bad mood, no one forced him.
Cattleya wanted to commission was Roel from the Iron Anchor.
Although she has a closer relationship with Dawn of Elements, it's better if this connection isn't too obvious.
After Cattleya said those words, Kronos abandoned his intention to speak.
That makes sense, as a big shot, he shouldn't have gotten involved in such trivial matters; having Cattleya's help was just fine.
Because Cattleya was able to contact the Artisan, Klein was able to market the Beyonder Characteristic of the Mentor of Disorder.
Fortunately, Audrey, this wealthy young woman, bought this Beyonder Characteristic.
Klein had already produced two Sequence 5 Beyonder Characteristic, and everyone thought that was the end of it, but then he produced a Druid Beyonder Characteristic.
Moreover, the intention was very clear: to sell it to Cattleya, because her ship had a "Mad Scientists" Frank Lee.
Cattleya struggled with this decision for a while.
The main problem was that Frank Lee was really a bit crazy, Cattleya was afraid that one day his research would cause big trouble.
After hesitating for a while, Cattleya finally decided to pay for the Druid's Beyonder Characteristic.
After completing the transaction for the Beyonder Characteristic, Mr. World asked Kronos, "I'd like to speak with you privately; there are some things I'd like to ask you."
Klein was already preparing to infiltrate the Chanis Gate of Saint Samuel Cathedral, so some preparations needed to be made in advance.
The most important point is to prevent Chanis Gate from detecting any unusual power.
Therefore, he needed to make his Marionette appear to be under the long-term influence of the core power sealed behind the Chanis Gate of the Church of Evernight, so that it would not be easily detected.
Klein was truly unable to handle this situation on his own, so he could only ask for help.
In the original novel, Klein asked Bernadette for help.
The main reason was that at that time, Klein made a deal with Cattleya, and he would help Cattleya get a drop of Will Onsett's blood.
In exchange for his employment, Cattleya helped him establish contact with Bernadette.
This time, however, Kronos intercepted the deal between the two, so there was no basis for their cooperation.
When Klein needed help, the first person he naturally thought of was the only big shot he knew.
Kronos was initially unaware of Klein's purpose, but after they entered a private conversation, Klein revealed his intentions.
"Could you help me make a Marionette appear to be in a state of long-term erosion by the core power sealed behind the Chanis Gate of the Church of Evernight?"
Upon hearing this, Kronos naturally understood his purpose.
Regarding Klein's motives, Kronos could only offer one comment. "You're far too naive."
Klein's reason for this plan was mainly because he had once been a member of the Church of Evernight and had also guarded the Chanis Gate.
However, Klein's position at the time was too low, and his understanding of Chanis Gate was far from comprehensive.
His tactic might fool some ordinary city center Church for a short time, at best.
This method is no longer effective for the Diocese Church.
As for Saint Samuel Cathedral, any unauthorized touching of the Chanis Gate is immediately reported to the nearby Executives authorities.
Therefore, Klein's infiltration plan had absolutely no chance of succeeding.
But Kronos didn't need to say these things. Anyway, Klein had someone protecting him, so even if he swaggered in, he could still get his way.
So Kronos asked, "The sealed cores of different Church within the Church of Evernight are different, and their states after being corrupted are also different. Is it through the Darkness Pathway or the Death Pathway? Is it the main Church of Diocese, or a typical city center Church?"
Klein recalled for a moment and said, "The Diocese Church, the Darkness Pathway."
Kronos nodded and said, "No problem, I can do it. However, this will essentially destroy your Marionette. As the corruption deepens, it will gradually fall into a deep sleep and never wake up again."
Klein was still heartbroken about the loss of the Marionette, but he believed there was nothing that could be done about it.
Kronos, too lazy to enlighten him, simply said, "I'll make a Charm and give it to you tonight through Mr. Fool. You can then stick it on your Marionette."
As High-ranking Deacon of the Church of Evernight, Kronos knew how to create Darkness Pathway Charm.
As for meeting, Kronos decided against it, as he was focused on digesting his Potion and didn't plan to go out to do anything else in the near future.
After hearing Kronos's words, Klein had some concerns, mainly because he was afraid that relying on Charm was not reliable enough.
But Kronos said, "Don't worry, I can definitely meet your requirements. If not, I'll personally help you."
Only after receiving this response did Klein feel relieved.
After their private conversation, the two returned to the group.
The following transactions had nothing to do with Kronos. Apart from Audrey's Potion ingredients and the Beyonder Item that Klein had purchased through the Error Pathway, none of them were of great importance.
Today's open discussion session did indeed involve exchanging some very interesting ideas.
The first place is the Audrey mentioned, a place with Dragon worship.
A Mind Dragon lives in the collective Sea of Collective Subconscious of the local residents, subtly guiding them to believe in Him.
That was Ariehogg, one of the three Dragon who survived from the Second Epoch. After meeting Audrey and learning about the specific situation of the City of Miracles, Liveseyd, he was replaced by the personality of the Imagination Dragon, Ankewelt.
Therefore, this was Ankewelt's contingency plan after his Resurrection, and it's possible that the three surviving ancient Ancient Dragon were also part of his Resurrection.
Therefore, even if Kronos were interested, he would absolutely not rashly go and investigate anything now.
However, when I become stronger in the future, perhaps I can give it a try.
Even if he wanted to go there now, it would be too late, because the Dragon had definitely already left.
The anchors He left in that area are already firmly in place; even if He leaves, these anchors will not come loose, so there is no need to waste any more time.
Furthermore, an archaeological team entered the area, and one member suddenly went insane at night. This mental illness seemed to be contagious, and the other members followed suit, ultimately resulting in no survivors.
For those who knew, this was practically an admission of His existence, so naturally He wouldn't stay any longer.
