Recalling the recent major events, " The Moon " Emlyn quickly pinpointed the smog and the outbreak of plague, guessing that the lady opposite him was referring to this.
But I heard it was a " Witch of Despair " who was trying to advance her career... Moreover, the Church of Storms quickly responded by creating a hurricane that blew everything away. How can this be said that Mr. The Fool saved Backlund? Emlyn, backed by their clan, is quite well-informed. Comparing the two, it's hard not to feel surprised and confused.
Although he was always proud and unwilling to spend time on social interactions, he still felt an instinctive fear when faced with Hidden Existence that could be addressed as "He". He dared not ask questions rashly and planned to listen in for a while first.
Even while adrift at sea, Alger the Hanged Man received news of the Great Smog of Backlund Incident and became quite interested in the secrets and truths behind it, firmly believing that it definitely involved a battle between gods, especially since it had caught the attention of Mr. The Fool!
While waiting for the exchange of information, he would ask Miss " Justice," but she might not know too much either. Given her position, she couldn't possibly know so many real details. Hehe, she's very curious. With this start, she'll definitely try to get answers from Mr. " The Fool." He hoped to have the opportunity to eavesdrop... Thinking of this, Alger glanced at " The Sun " and saw that he was calm and composed, knowing that he and the City of Silver exploration team had escaped the cycle of Fate.
Similarly, " Justice " Audrey also sensed the success of their operation from the little " The Sun's" reaction, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to learn more about what had happened later.
After bowing respectfully to Mr. " The Fool," she thanked "the world," expressing gratitude to this seemingly unpleasant member of the Tarot Club for issuing an early warning.
"... Mr. 'World,' if it weren't for your prior warning, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people would have died in Backlund during this severe smog."
"In fact, this also saved me," Klein chuckled hoarsely, Manipulation "the world."
He spoke sincerely, without a trace of acting, because if he hadn't notified Miss " Justice " beforehand, who then alerted the Church of the Evernight Goddess, the powerful figure who wiped out Mr. A wouldn't have arrived so quickly, and he himself might not have been able to hold on for much longer.
If Mr. A were torn apart and eaten, he might not be able to be resurrected... Klein thought thankfully.
Mr. A's eating was truly authentic!
Then, the " The Fool," leaning back in his chair, responded with a smile:
"I only offered a tiny bit of help."
"No, your Blessed truly saved Backlund; his contribution was the greatest of all." " Justice," Audrey praised sincerely, "His reminder allowed the goddess, the Church of the Evernight Goddess, to prepare in time, to eliminate the Witch of Despair, to prevent the awakening of the ' Primordial Demoness,' to keep the pollution of the Great Smog within a controllable range, and he also directly disrupted the Aurora Order's ritual, once again keeping the ' True Creator ' who attempted to descend through it outside the real world."
Because she provided the most important information, Audrey received unanimous praise from the Earl Hall and Countess Hall, who did not conceal the results of the investigation and some details they had learned from her.
Of course, they also expressed their hopes as parents, urging their daughter to avoid getting too deeply involved with that Concealment organization, to stay on the outer circle, gather information, and keep her strength below Sequence 7.
The " Primordial Demoness " wants to awaken... The " True Creator " attempts to descend... What exactly happened in Backlund? At the same time, " The Hanged Man " Alger and " The Moon " Emlyn had the same reaction, but their expressions were different. The former only slightly raised his eyelids, his pupils contracted, and he unconsciously tilted his head to one side, while the latter gave the illusion that he was about to jump up.
Mother Goddess, no, the Moon above, when did Backlund become so dangerous? Two evil gods appeared in a smog all of a sudden! That lady must be lying, right? Although Mr. The Fool is a suspected deity, it's impossible for him to offend two "He"s of the same level at the same time... Could it be that He is actually an incarnation of some righteous god? Or is there an alliance of gods behind Him? Is this why the Progenitor made me pray to Him? The more Emlyn thought about it, the faster his heart beat, but he couldn't find any confirmation.
--The fact that Sanguine are called " Vampire " does not mean that they do not have a heartbeat, but that it is much slower. The heart itself is one of the Sanguine ' fatal weaknesses.
As expected! No wonder this event caught the attention of " The Fool "... But what benefit could He possibly gain from thwarting the evil gods' schemes?" The Hanged Man, Alger, secretly sighed.
" The Magician " Fors was both surprised and terrified, never imagining that the terrifying smog that had claimed tens of thousands of lives concealed an even more horrifying truth.
If it hadn't been stopped in time, the entire Backlund would have been destroyed, and Hugh and I would certainly not have survived... Fors swallowed hard.
Her feelings were also Audrey's thoughts. Through this incident, the noblewoman truly realized that what she considered a peaceful, normal, and stable life was like a soap bubble in the clash between gods, and would burst immediately at the slightest provocation.
Or perhaps, the entire kingdom, the entire human society, exists only because of the balance between the gods, and this balance is extremely fragile... Every time such thoughts arise, Audrey feels a pang of sadness.
Seeing that someone knew and remembered his contributions, Klein felt a sense of relief and smiled, saying:
Unfortunately, this forced him to leave Backlund.
"Have Mr. The Fool's Blessed temporarily left Backlund?" " Justice " Audrey rose again and bowed sincerely.
Please convey my gratitude to him.
Klein maintained his composure, remaining silent and simply nodding.
At this point, Audrey added:
"I'm sorry, because the three major churches and the military are purging Backlund, I haven't been able to obtain the next volume of Roselle's Diary. Please wait another week."
"Okay," Klein said calmly.
Hearing their conversation, " The Magician " Fors startled awake and quickly looked towards the head of the long bronze table, saying:
"Dear ' The Fool ' sir, I have received three pages of Roselle's Diary."
"That's right, the more members we have, the more channels we have, and things will grow rapidly like a snowball..." Klein nodded slightly.
"Very good."
Roselle's Diary? " The Moon " Emlyn felt as if he had heard something extraordinary again.
Under his questioning gaze, Fors materialized three pages of a diary and passed them on to Mr. The Fool.
Only then did Klein realize he had overlooked a certain Vampire, and chuckled as he introduced him:
"This is the newest member, Mr. ' The Moon '."
"This gathering is called the Tarot Club, and they are..."
"Mr. The Moon," I thought the person who chose the " The Moon " card would be a lady... " Justice " Audrey greeted him politely while her mind wandered with a sense of relief.
Similarly, Emlyn was also wondering whether members like " The Hanged Man " and " Justice " were human or supernatural beings, what pathways they were on, what their Sequence was, which organization they belonged to, and whether they were friendly to Sanguine.
Klein ignored their mutual sizing and turned his gaze to the diary in his hand:
"February 11th, today I learned a secret about the Sauron Family, hahaha, it's hilarious! Hahaha!"
"So, the ' Hunter ' pathway they possess will cause gender change at Sequence 4, men remain unchanged, and women become men! No wonder none of the High-Sequence powerhouses in the Sauron Family that I know are women, the ' Iron-Blooded Knight ' are indeed true iron-blooded men!"
"Hahaha, if this secret hadn't been so well hidden, I would have used it to mock Florent next time. The ancestor of the Sauron Family that he resembles might have originally been a woman!"
"This Potion is such a rip-off! I hope there won't be any strange changes after I High-Sequence of ' Reader.' I don't want to suddenly find out one day that I either can't advance or I have to turn into a woman."
Upon seeing this diary entry, Klein's first thought was:
Your Majesty, you won't turn into a woman, but you've slept with a Witch, and perhaps more than one...
"As expected, there is a path for women to become men, and among the ones I predicted... ' Hunter ' represents war, and it will cause women to change sex at Sequence 4... This is a bit off, the Witch Pathway is at the Sequence 7 ' Witch ' stage, so there is no strict correspondence..." The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt a sense of Distortion and madness, which was brought about by extreme asymmetry.
Is the underlying logic of this world simply chaos, Distortion, madness, and asymmetry? He tried his best to keep from frowning.
February 12th, no, I can't help but laugh whenever I see Florent.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"On February 15th, the improved artillery that I designed and supervised was completed. The effect was a little worse than I had expected, but it's not a big problem. With it and mass production, I will let the world and this era witness truly advanced tactics!"
"To celebrate, I've decided to throw a banquet and invite those guys who look down on me. You'll all get a good slap in the face!"
The Emperor really doesn't hold grudges overnight... Klein sighed as he turned to the second page of his diary:
On May 5th, that unspeakable organization once again convened a gathering of its members.
"I am always amazed by the way they recruit members; it's nothing short of a miracle, no, a divine intervention."
"Based on my previous observations, I raised some questions at this gathering. For example, all the names of Sequence 0 on the ' Blasphemy Slate ' were of sufficient rank, except for ' Red Priest,' which seemed unique and not prestigious enough. The old gentleman sitting next to me told me that 'red' refers to the Red of War, and a priest can be understood as a worshipper of the essence of power."
Some people oppose him, believing that the priests of the ' Red Priest ' refer to the priests of the Original Creator.
I leaned toward the former, so I quietly asked the old man for his name. I didn't know the identities of every member here; to put it bluntly, I only knew a part of them.
The old gentleman answered me with a smile, saying his name was Hermes.
" Hermes? The Hermes who created the Ancient Hermes? The Hermes who founded human mysticism?"
