Upon hearing the name Gehrman Sparrow, all the members on both sides of the bronze table turned their gazes toward "The World," who was seated at the bottom. No one spoke, and no one interrupted.
They all knew, more or less Gehrman Sparrow had done something big again—killing " Admiral of Hell Ludwell "—but " Justice " Audrey didn't think this was the main reason for his abnormal mental state.
Their performance made Leonard, " The Star," instantly realize a fact: everyone in the Tarot Club knows that "The World" equals Gehrman Sparrow!
Klein's disguise was excellent... But why did he let the other members know his identity Gehrman Sparrow? Isn't it common sense to hide one's origins at a gathering like this? Leonard wondered, when he heard the indistinct voice of "The World" hoarsely ask in return:
What leads has Military Intelligence Section 9 obtained?
" Judgement " Hugh showed no shame for betraying Military Intelligence Section 9, and answered frankly:
"They determined that the identity of Gehrman Sparrow was a forgery, originating in Backlund."
Indeed, he used to be called Sherlock Moriarty, but when he left Backlund he became Gehrman Sparrow. However, Sherlock Moriarty is not his true identity either... Leonard subconsciously looked around and found that although the other members were not so surprised, they did not seem to realize it either, so he believed that they only had a superficial understanding of Klein.
Under Klein's Manipulation, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow chuckled and responded to Miss " Judgement's" instruction:
Don't worry about it.
For him, to find out who gave the false identity of Gehrman Sparrow, he first had to capture the " Mystery Queen " Bernadette, or get information about Sharron from her. Obviously, this was an extremely difficult task, almost impossible!
In comparison, starting with cases involving Detective Sherlock Moriarty, like Leonard did, can uncover more information. Since Military Intelligence Section 9 has chosen the Error direction, Klein is happy to see them relentlessly pursuing this path.
Mr. World was very certain and confident... Hugh looked away and said nothing more.
At this moment, " Justice " Audrey hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Mr. 'World,' will you return to Backlund later? And will you still use the identity of Dawn Dantès?"
As a qualified " Psychiatrist," she certainly wouldn't inform the other members of the Tarot Club about the psychological problems that had occurred in the "world." She simply wanted to confirm whether the other person would still go to the " Loen Charity Bursary Foundation," so that she could have closer contact in the real world and provide better follow-up care.
She made no attempt to hide Dawn Dantès because the original party members all knew about it, and Mr. " The Star " was clearly familiar with Mr. "World," plus Hugh had been informed in advance by Fors.
Ah... Upon hearing Miss " Justice's" words, Leonard almost couldn't believe his ears and was momentarily dazed.
Is Klein Moretti the same as Dawn Dantès?
I once asked Dawn Dantès about Klein Moretti in person...
No, impossible Dawn Dantès is an undead Monster who survived the Fourth Epoch! His actions back then completely prove that!
That's what the Old Man said too!
At this moment, Leonard was completely unable to control his emotions and instinctively rejected the facts pointed out in Miss Justice's words.
If he weren't just Astral Body, he felt his expression would be quite obvious, alternating between red and white, then white and red again.
Across from Leonard, Hugh also raised his head, looking in astonishment at Mr. "World" at the bottom of the bronze table.
Is he Dawn Dantès? Is Dawn Dantès Gehrman Sparrow?
I even took on a job as his butler... I even protected him... I even felt sorry for him...
He could kill me with one hand...
Hugh immediately turned his head and glared at Fors.
"I dare not say much about Mr. World, I can only mention a little..." Fors, the Magician, guiltily looked away and muttered silently. Alger the Hanged Man and the Hermit the Cattleya, however, gleaned some information from the two men's reactions:
Miss " Judgement " and Miss " Magician " meet in the real world;
Miss " Judgement " had crossed paths with Dawn Dantès, but was unaware that he was Gehrman Sparrow.
As a seasoned " Spectator," Audrey undoubtedly noticed the anomaly in " The Star " and " Judgement," and immediately realized that she had been making assumptions.
Audrey, you need to reflect on your actions! She said to herself sheepishly, then tried to make amends before Mr. World could speak:
" Dawn Dantès is a public figure, sometimes Mr. 'World,' sometimes Mr. ' The Fool,' and other Blessed."
"Oh, that makes sense!" Leonard, the " The Star," perked up and instantly accepted Miss " Justice's " explanation, gaining clarity on many things as a result.
The person who entered the Chanis Gate of Saint Samuel Cathedral some time before was Dawn Dantès, who was probably Klein. Before that and after, it was another Blessed of " The Fool "... that " Death Consul "? Indeed, an undead Monster who survived the Fourth Epoch, the Old Man's old friend...
Hmm, it could also be Blessed I'm unaware of, but their rank wouldn't be too low... Um, what do you mean by "other Blessed "? Do you mean Klein is also considered Blessed of " The Fool "?
No wonder Mr. The Fool said that his experience of coming here and joining the gathering was different from mine... because we are all Blessed, blessed by Mr. The Fool, and share the same ancient aura, which is why the Old Man didn't discover that Dawn Dantès was Acting different people?
This also explains my earlier question: as Blessed, Gehrman Sparrow's identity doesn't need to be kept secret...
As for Hugh, who was " Judgement " the situation, whether Dawn Dantès was a public figure or whether he was Gehrman Sparrow. The reason she reacted so strongly just now was because, after understanding the truth, she felt both ashamed and angry about her various thoughts and psychological states at the time.
Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to normal, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and Manipulation "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, to answer Miss " Justice's" question:
"Meeting.
"At that time, there might be some things that will require your assistance."
When speaking the second half of the sentence, "the world's" gaze swept over " Justice," " Magician," " Judgement," " The Star," and " The Moon."
He... he's planning something in Backlund? Audrey immediately understood what Mr. "World" meant, and felt both inexplicably excited and a little worried.
What excited her was that she was about to join a Concealment operation in which all participants seemed to have no possibility of cooperation and might not even know each other—something she had never experienced before and had always longed for. What worried her was whether this would threaten the stability of Backlund and whether it would endanger innocent people.
As for the risks to herself, she wasn't too worried. She believed that the mission Mr. "World" had assigned her was most likely in the peripheral areas, either to provide crucial intelligence or to fatally mislead the target, without needing to directly participate in combat.
Emlyn, the " The Moon," was the second member to understand the hidden meaning of "the World," a realization stemming from his instinct to hate trouble.
"Wouldn't that be troublesome..." He frowned, thinking, but didn't speak.
As the other members gradually came to their senses, " The Hanged Man " Alger gave "The World" Gehrman Sparrow a deep look before saying:
"I recently received intelligence that Archbishop Ince Zangwill, who defected from the Church of Evernight, was killed in West Balam. Before that, he had already become Demigod, and the Sealed Artifact '0-08' that he stole has fallen into the hands of someone unknown. The only certainty is that the people who dealt with the battlefield were from the Church of Evernight."
" The Hanged Man's" information network is quite extensive... It's only been a few days... The Church should have maintained strict secrecy... However, perhaps people from other forces also arrived at that square at the time... " The Star " Leonard paused for a moment, then remained silent.
" Justice " Audrey and the others were hearing this news for the first time. They could only tell from words like "archbishop," "0-08," and " Demigod " that the matter was quite significant. However, it was irrelevant to them and lacked any exciting elements, so it didn't arouse much interest in them. Among them, " The Hermit " Cattleya, who had a deeper understanding of "0" level Sealed Artifact, planned to exchange information on this matter with " Mystery Queen " and the higher-ups of the Moss Ascetic Order after returning to the real world.
In the brief silence, " The Fool " Klein suddenly reached out and tapped the table lightly.
He felt it necessary to remind the members of one thing:
In the next few years, a powerful wave of change will sweep in!
At the sound of the thud, all the members straightened their backs, or straightened even more, and turned to the head of the bronze table. Even the newly joined " The Star " Leonard and " Judgement " Hugh did not hesitate and made the corresponding movements almost instinctively.
Then, they heard the distant, lofty figure in the Gray Fog chuckle:
"Times have changed because of this."
Has the era changed because of this? Is Ince Zangwill's matter really that important and crucial? Although it involves a "0" level Sealed Artifact... Alger, the " The Hanged Man " who shared the information, never expected that Mr. The Fool would give such a high evaluation, and for a moment he didn't know which direction to take in the connection.
Leonard, the " The Star " who was involved in the Ince Zangwill. He knew how important and terrifying a "0" level Sealed Artifact was, but he never imagined that what happened that day would change the times.
While Justice Audrey the others were surprised and bewildered, they all perked up. Even Derrick the Sun couldn't help but show an attitude of waiting for what would happen next.
" The Fool " Klein looked around and said with a half-smile and a half-sigh:
" Adam is now closer to Godhood."
