Wait, why is she looking at Mr. The Fool...? " Justice " Audrey keenly noticed the Hermit's subtle movements, which puzzled her greatly.
In her view, this was an unusual reaction. The " The Hanged Man " was talking about something that had nothing to do with everyone else—the so-called " Sea God " Kavithua, who seemed to have fallen but still occasionally answered the doubts of his followers. Why was the " The Hermit " looking at the " The Fool "?
Kavithua has fallen... Occasionally responding to his followers... The " The Hermit " is watching the " The Fool "... Could it be...? Audrey's eyes lit up, and a guess unconsciously formed in her mind:
"Is it now Mr. ' The Fool ' who is responding to the believers in place of Kavithua?"
"The ' The Hermit ' lady knows something, so?"
In the blink of an eye, " Justice " Audrey also turned her body halfway, looking expectantly at Mr. " The Fool " who was sitting leisurely in the high-backed chair at the head of the bronze table.
Meanwhile, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," was also surprised and shocked by the unexpected actions of the " The Hermit ":
"I was just testing her relationship with Latiz, a member of the ' Moss Ascetic Order,' why did she suddenly look at Mr. ' The Fool '?"
"Could it be that she knows the current ' Sea God ' is the incarnation of Mr. ' The Fool '?"
Her reaction largely proves this point!
"Before she was drawn into the Tarot Club, she had several Concealment contacts with Mr. ' The Fool, ' and may have even been working for Him in secret long before?"
Alger's thoughts grew increasingly focused on the " The Hermit," and then, subconsciously, he followed the other's gaze, looking at Mr. " The Fool " in the gray mist.
He, " The Hermit," and " Justice " acted in sequence, but their almost identical actions made " The Magician " Fors and the others clearly realize that something was wrong.
Why are they looking at Mr. The Fool? Is the death of " Sea God " Kavithua related to Mr. The Fool? Fors and Emlyn White, thinking themselves clever, began to speculate on the reason, and turned their gaze to the head of the bronze table.
" The Sun " Derrick didn't know who " Sea God " Kavithua was, nor did he understand what it meant that the other man would occasionally respond to his followers after his death, but since everyone was looking at Mr. " The Fool," he naturally followed suit.
The world hesitated for a second, as if it were considering something.
He first glanced at the " The Hanged Man," which made Alger slightly uneasy, before he followed the crowd and changed the direction of his gaze.
At this point, Klein realized from which detail the " The Hermit " had guessed that he might be responding to the believers on behalf of the " Sea God " Kavithua, and was struggling with how to express his stance.
Should I pretend, "This is just a small matter, I didn't take it to heart at all, and since you brought it up, I'll just admit it," or should I think, "As a god, I don't need to explain everything to you, I don't need to clarify anything, I don't need to admit or deny anything"... Klein recalled the " The Fool's" character setting and quickly made a decision:
That is to neither admit nor deny, so as not to lose the status of the deity, but to add a comment at a crucial point, making those who did not guess even more confused, and making those who doubted feel that even after they suddenly realized the truth, they still felt that the fog was thick and that the intentions of Mr. " The Fool " were unfathomable.
Thinking of this, Klein, leaning back, chuckled softly and said casually, seemingly unconcerned:
" Kavithua became Demigod by relying on the relics of the Cohinem 'Calamity."
It turned out they were consulting Mr. The Fool, asking about matters related to the " Sea God "... But this still couldn't convince me; I always felt there was a deeper truth hidden within... Could it be...?" The Magician Fors frowned slightly, making all sorts of connections.
As expected! The Hermit Cattleya, believed this was a positive response from Mr. The Fool, and also revealed some Concealment.
"Is that Demigod- level scepter a trait of Kavithua, or a relic of ' The Calamity ' Cohinem, or both? Who is ' The Calamity ' Cohinem? His name sounds very Elf. Um, ' The Hanged Man ' mentioned that Latiz discovered an ancient Elf ruin... the dwelling place of a high Elf?"
"How did Mr. The Fool obtain that scepter? Through the Hanged Man, or someone else? No, it doesn't seem like the Hanged Man, otherwise he wouldn't have brought it up himself... What is Mr. The Fool, acting on behalf of the Sea God, trying to achieve by responding to the believers? Is this part of His resurrection, a part that truly affects reality?"
The more " The Hermit " Cattleya thought about it, the more she felt that the " The Fool's " profoundness was beyond comprehension. Just like His figure now shrouded in thick Gray Fog, the clearer she could see, the more confused, terrified, and fearful she became.
This is perhaps a battle between gods... Cattleya sighed inwardly, speaking from her heart.
"My guess was right!" The Hanged Man Alger finally confirmed that the current " Sea God " was indeed the incarnation of the " The Fool," and his worries and anxieties seemed to have been rewarded at this moment.
"On some occasions, I, disguised as a believer in the ' Sea God,' can pray openly and honestly... I wonder to what extent Mr. ' The Fool ' has recovered, and how much power can leak out from within the seal? Even if he has only reached the Demigod level, he can provide tremendous protection at sea..."
"The fact that ' The Hermit ' didn't seem too surprised indicates that she had indeed been in contact with Mr. ' The Fool ' beforehand and had learned some things in advance. This also suggests that her Sequence is not low; she might really be a pirate general-level powerhouse... This is both good and bad news for me."
"On the positive side, with the addition of a major power and a strong figure at sea, we can cooperate seamlessly to accomplish things that were previously unimaginable. On the negative side, she will cover most of my intelligence and resource channels, and my role in the Tarot Club will decline sharply. Of course, all of this is based on the premise that she is truly a ' Admiral of Stars '."
"Hmm, I need to adjust my focus on intelligence gathering and resource acquisition, shifting more towards the church; that's where she can't replace me. The Hanged Man," Alger thought, both delighted and wary.
That " Sea God " really is Mr. The Fool! No, no, no, I should say that the current " Sea God " is the incarnation of Mr. The Fool! He has begun to genuinely intervene in the real world? That's wonderful! In the future, if I Travel at sea, I can directly pray to the " Sea God " and receive a response?" Audrey, the " Justice," was surprised, delighted, and proud.
As far as she knew, within the major churches, those who could receive divine responses through prayer alone, without performing any fixed Ritualistic Magic, were either long-time priests who encountered them by chance, or a select few God's Blessed that could be counted on one hand.
As for the situation where every prayer is answered, this is an extreme exception among the " God's Blessed ".
"And I can!" Mr. The Fool is gradually returning to his throne, and replacing " Sea God " is one of those steps... Audrey did not hide her emotional changes; she sat upright and gracefully with a smile on her face.
Cohinem? That's an Elf name. I think I've heard someone mention it before... " The Moon " Emlyn wandered as he tried to recall, but he couldn't come up with anything for the time being.
As for the death of Kavithua, " Sea God " was still responding to the question of what connection the believers had with the " The Hermit," " Justice," and " The Hanged Man " looking at Mr. " The Fool." He vaguely guessed something, but didn't think about it in detail.
What does this have to do with me? It won't affect my efforts to save the Sanguine, and it's not anything interesting! Anyway, if there's a problem, just pray to Mr. " The Fool "! Emlyn muttered a couple of things, showing disdain for the others' emotional changes.
" Calamity "? " Queen of Calamity "? But there's no record of her being named Cohinem... " The Sun " Derrick tilted his head slightly to the left, a habitual gesture he made when recalling things.
It seems that even the little " The Sun " doesn't know whether Cohinem is the " Queen of Calamity," otherwise she wouldn't have reacted this way... Klein withdrew his gaze out of the corner of his eye with slight disappointment.
He Manipulation the "world" with a light cough, pulling everyone back to their senses.
Then, with the help of the Fool, the "world" materialized an image, which was displayed to the left and right:
Does anyone know her?
This is a photo of Elaine the Red. Klein mainly wanted to see if " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya and " The Hanged Man " Alger knew each other, since they were both well-informed people at sea.
Alger glanced at her, about to speak and indicate that he didn't know who she was, when he heard the " The Hermit " woman say in a calm tone:
"The red-haired Elaine, of the Intissolen family lineage, is a fallen noblewoman."
Cattleya paused, then added:
"She worked as a maritime merchant, and later it is said that she was captivated by the ' Disease Maiden ' Tracy."
"The prisoner of 'Vice Admiral Ailment ' Tracy? I thought it was some melodramatic story of a domineering pirate and a noblewoman... But Tracy is a domineering pirate, huh... "Klein's mind wandered.
" The Magician " Fors, who was still immersed in the relationship between " Sea God " and " The Fool ", suddenly came to his senses and keenly felt that the story between the red-haired Elaine and " The Vice Admiral Ailment " had great potential and many things worth imagining.
To her regret, the " The Hermit " lady only said those two sentences, and then nothing more.
The Hermit knows about the " Vice Admiral Ailment "... but that doesn't prove anything. Higher- Sequence Beyonder and knowledgeable ordinary people all know who the Seven Pirate Generals are; their bounty posters are plastered everywhere... Hmm, the Hermit is quite knowledgeable about things in Intis; this is a preliminary assessment... The Hanged Man isn't interested in the red-haired Elaine; he's only concerned with the Hermit's true identity.
After the matter of Elaine the Red-Haired came to a close, " Justice " Audrey began to consider whether or not to consult the Mind Dragon.
Unlike before, this time there was an additional " The Hermit " woman whose personality she didn't know and whose trustworthiness was uncertain, which made her somewhat hesitant.
After a brief moment of deliberation, she finally spoke:
"I've recently been searching for the Mind Dragon and went to a place where there's a custom of Dragon worship."
She omitted the specific location and details that might reveal her identity.
