Upon hearing the question from "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, the remaining members of the Tarot Club exhibited three distinct reactions:
"Who is this? I seem to have heard of him... Is he one of the Four Kings?"
"Who is this? I've never heard of him before..."
"Oh, I forgot to ask about the Psychology Alchemists again. I was just about to ask for some advice in a more tactful way..."
The first reaction comes from Alger the Hanged Man, the Hermit the Cattleya, and Fors the Magician who lived at sea for a period of time; the second reaction comes from Leonard the Star, Emlyn the Moon, Emlyn the Judgement, and Derrick the Sun; and the third reaction belongs exclusively to Audrey the Justice.
Seeing that no one answered, "World" Gehrman Sparrow. His main purpose was actually to remind Miss " Justice " to bring up and discuss things that could bypass the promise.
Of course, if Miss Justice seeks help from Mr. The Fool, Klein will also use " Grafting " to briefly connect the constraint formed by the promise in her subconscious with the paper figure, giving her a period of time to speak freely.
This is also a high-level application of the " Paper Figurine Substitute ". With Klein's current status, he can only do it easily within the " Sefirah Castle ". If he were in the real world, he would have to rely on the " Worm of Spirit " on duty above the gray Gray Fog to Manipulation the " Curtain " and give a response.
At this moment, " Justice " Audrey thought for a moment and said:
"Do you remember when I followed the trail of the Mind Dragon and went to a place where there was a custom of Dragon worship?"
Alger the Hanged Man, the Hermit the Cattleya, and others nodded, while only Leonard the Star and Judgement the Judge said they had never heard of it.
--Because it wasn't a big deal, " The Magician " Fors didn't mention it when she the Original introduced "Common Sense" to " Judgement " Hugh. Later, she was frightened by " Angel of Imagination " Adam, and in the real world, she rarely discussed the various Concealment shared at Tarot Club.
Audrey considered for a moment, then continued:
"Almost two years have passed, and a Concealment organization that doesn't quite trust me has suddenly brought up the matter again, commissioning me to conduct further investigations, claiming it's an assessment of me. What are their motives?"
She didn't believe it was a coincidence.
The Moon Emlyn, who had recovered somewhat, chuckled and said:
"This should be a test."
For him, he was still a very, very long way from Sequence 1 " Goddess of Beauty " and had no intention of switching to the " Planter " path, so he didn't need to worry about the relevant issues for a long time and there was no need to be too anxious.
Emlyn has really grown a lot since he can even use the word "test"... Of course, this is also because the Sanguine have done similar things to him so many times, and every time it takes Mr. " The Hanged Man " to say "this is a test"... " The Fool " Klein was very satisfied with Emlyn's answer.
Of course, he didn't think the answer was correct, but he felt that Emlyn's ability to think at this level was quite impressive.
Audrey, not entirely agreeing with the " Justice " argument, said:
"I suspect they already know I have a problem, even what that problem is and which forces are involved, so there's no need to test them further."
After leaving " Garden of Eden ", she thought a lot and remembered that Mr. "World" once said that the " Hermits of Fate " wanted a war that would sweep the whole world.
Based on the current situation, this objective has been achieved in the past year.
In other words, Adam, the " Hermits of Fate " or the " Angel of Imagination," must have gained considerable benefits and grown accordingly.
Prior to this, Mr. The Fool suggested that Adam was closer to God.
Based on this information, Audrey initially judged that there was a significant probability that the " Angel of Imagination " Adam had ascended to the throne of God and become Sequence 0 " Visionary ".
Even if it's not there yet, it's almost there!
If such a deity who governs the realm of the mind were to cast his gaze upon her, Audrey didn't think she could hide many of her secrets.
She could only comfort herself on the one hand, assuring herself that the leader of the Hermits of Fate and the mastermind behind the Psychology Alchemists wouldn't value a Sequence 4 " Manipulator " too much, and on the other hand, prepare for any possible "unexpected events."
"Perhaps that organization wants to test how many members our Tarot Club has and what their identities are," Emlyn " The Moon " replied with a smile, following his own train of thought.
" Justice," Audrey thought for a moment, then nodded slightly:
"That possibility cannot be ruled out."
As she said this, she glanced subtly at the head of the long, weathered table and noticed that Mr. The Fool was merely listening leisurely, showing no intention of offering a correct answer.
This put her at ease, and she silently resolved to be more careful and cautious, so that she wouldn't be unable to solve problems on her own even after reaching Sequence 4.
--In any orthodox church or Concealment organization, Sequence 4 is a powerful figure who can dominate one side.
At this point, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," who had overheard their conversation, proposed a completely new possibility:
"If that Concealment organization truly doesn't trust you, then their investigation might just be a pretext. Their main purpose is to use you to forge some cooperation with our Tarot Club and with Mr. ' The Fool '."
He didn't know why Miss " Justice " didn't directly mention the Psychology Alchemists, so he could only cautiously cooperate by using a euphemism.
"Hmm... does that mean I've become the Tarot Club's ambassador to the Psychology Alchemists?" " Justice " Audrey nodded slightly.
That's also possible.
"So what should I do next?"
Alger " The Hanged Man," thought for a moment and said:
"Delay it for now."
"Good idea..." " Magician " Fors and " The Moon " Emlyn both agreed in their hearts.
After Alger gave the overall strategy, he added details:
"Delay going to that place, and make excuses not to go until the last minute."
"Once we arrived at that place, we started by investigating the outer areas, using caution as an excuse to slow down the investigation."
"When you can no longer delay, you can deliberately make oversights in certain matters, create some disturbance, and let that Mind Dragon notice in advance to eliminate the traces."
"If that Concealment organization truly has some ulterior motive, the longer you delay, the more restless they will become, and once they become impatient, they will expose their problems."
The Hermit, Cattleya, nodded in agreement.
This is the most appropriate response at present.
"I understand, thank you everyone." " Justice " Audrey also felt that Mr. " The Hanged Man's" suggestion aligned with her own thoughts.
However, on one matter, she did not delay. She immediately turned her head, looked at the head of the mottled long table, and bowed, saying:
"Dear ' The Fool,' has ' Angel of Imagination ' Adam been promoted to Sequence 0?"
"Good, to be able to recognize this..." Klein, the " The Fool," leaned back in his chair and chuckled softly.
"As the Apocalypse drew near, He finally took this step."
The layers depicted in the Garden of Eden almost convinced him that Adam had become a " Visionary."
The news that " Angel of Imagination " Adam had become a god immediately echoed in the minds of " The Sun " Derrick and others, and lingered for a long time.
As expected... " Justice " Audrey pursed her lips, thanked her, and then asked:
What reward should I pay for this answer?
" The Fool " Klein looked around and said:
"Need not.
This is a reminder.
After this topic ended, most members of the Tarot Club were still reeling from the shock of Adam becoming a true god, and no one spoke for a moment.
After a few seconds, " The Sun " Derrick glanced left and right, then tentatively asked:
" City of Silver has already cultivated the surrounding fields and planted crops such as wheat, but the Harvest won't come immediately. I'd like to know what we can do to earn gold pounds to buy supplies?"
After the initial aid, the Church of Sea God and the government of the Rorsted Archipelago stopped providing free assistance, as their economic strength was quite limited. Faced with this situation, City of Silver and Moon City each sold off a batch of Beyonder Characteristic and Monster leather, obtaining a large amount of funds that could be used to purchase various supplies.
However, with the entrance to the Forsaken Land of the Gods closed, Beyonder Characteristic and Monster hides can no longer be effectively replenished. City of Silver and Moon City cannot abandon their military might, sell off large quantities of strategic resources, and neglect the upbringing of their offspring. Therefore, once their existing gold pounds, gold, jewelry, and other items are exhausted, they will undoubtedly be in dire straits.
Therefore, the Council of Six has recently been struggling with how to earn gold pounds from outside sources and how to establish a stable economic system, which is somewhat beyond their capabilities.
--The Beyonder Characteristic previously given by City of Silver and Moon City were mainly bought up by the " Sea God " Church and the government of the Rorsted Archipelago to establish their own official Beyonder power. After all, the number of Beyonder needed for destruction and the number of Beyonder needed to firmly rule a region are not on the same level.
Furthermore, the only Demigod currently existing in the entire Rorsted Archipelago are " Sea God " Kavithua and Cardinal Alger Wilson of the Church of Storms, which is somewhat insufficient for a new regime, especially since the Church of Storms and the Church of " Sea God " are not allies.
After listening to Little " The Sun's" plea for help, the other members of the Tarot Club began to seriously consider what jobs the residents of City of Silver and Moon City could do.
" Justice," Audrey thought for a moment and said:
What are you best at?
"Fight." " The Sun," Derrick answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," nodded slightly and said:
"Although the world war has ended, the colonial order in the Southern Continent has not been effectively restored. It remains chaotic, with small-scale wars breaking out from time to time. You could try forming two or three mercenary teams and accepting employment from any faction."
Military contractor... Klein came up with a more modern name in his mind.
"That's a good idea." Derrick's eyes lit up.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," then asked:
"Fighting is the instinct for survival. Besides that, is there anything else you want to do?"
" The Sun," Derrick replied, slightly embarrassed:
"Many people aspire to be chefs, winemakers, or work in candy factories..."
