Amon said, "As expected..."
His feud with Mr. Fool had indeed been brewing for a long time, just like the 'Fallen Creator, which explains why he was an enemy of Mr. Fool from the very beginning…
Alger grasped this detail.
Danitz hissed softly, his expression unusually tense. He recognized the eerie figure that had been clinging to "The Sun" Derrick earlier.
Although he was already a divine messenger of the Church of the Sea God, his understanding of high-level matters was not in-depth, so he naturally failed to recognize the figure's identity. However, judging from the fact that the other party had previously attempted to confront Mr. "Fool" and seemed to be unharmed afterward, this was definitely not an ordinary being.
For Danitz, "The Fool" was the highest-ranking being he had ever interacted with, and His supreme power was beyond question. Therefore, while he was alarmed by Amon's audacious actions, he couldn't help but wonder about Amon's identity and rank.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the captain again: "...Captain, do you know who this person is?"
Edwina corrected Danitz' words "It's not 'this person ', it's 'He.' choice, then pursed her lips and said, "The Amon family is one of the five great families that supported the establishment of the Tudor dynasty in the Fourth Epoch, and the portrait left by the founder of this family looks exactly like the one in the film."
According to legend, He was one of the sons of the 'ancient sun god'.
The Tudor Dynasty? The ancient sun god? Danitz was momentarily. bewildered.
He vaguely remembered these terms, but that was all. Realizing this was likely knowledge the captain had mentioned, he instinctively opened his mouth, then rationally closed it.
However, just from the words "He", "Fourth Era" and "Five Great Families", he immediately realized that this Amon was not someone to be trifled with.
"I'm not Gehrman Sparrow, and I wouldn't go out of my way to provoke the previous sea god. I don't want to have anything to do with that kind of being..." Danitz, who always cherished his life, muttered to himself.
But it seems this is not something I can decide... He suddenly recalled with sorrow the long list of organizations he needed to be wary of.
After answering Danitz's question, Edwina gazed at the lightning and thunder on the screen with her light blue eyes. After a slight silence, she cautiously spoke: "Not long ago, a group of people claiming to be from the 'Forsaken Land' landed on the coast of Bayam."
Just moments ago, Danitz was feeling sorry for himself when he felt the captain glance in his direction. His heart pounded, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
The captain already knows it was me? There were so many people watching, and I'm not exactly famous, so it's quite possible…
But I originally planned to tell her after those guys finished building Mr. Fool's church, so she wouldn't mistake Mr. Fool for an evil god...
While Danitz was feeling uneasy, the others all turned their questioning gazes toward Edwina, some of them even harboring wariness.
"I just wanted to ask if the scene in the film is the Forsaken Land?" Edwina asked casually.
After a moment of silence, Derrick nodded first and answered frankly, "Yes, we recently escaped the Forsaken Land with the help of Mr. 'Fool' and came to Bayam."
Having escaped the Forsaken Land, with the help of the "Fool"... Edwina's expression remained unchanged as she carefully considered her words before speaking again: "As far as I know, many gods have not found a way to enter the Forsaken Land, so why did Amon appear in the Forsaken Land in the film?"
"If this solution requires a price, I can pay a fee within my acceptable range."
Considering that "The Fool" was likely connected to most of the people here, Edwina did not directly ask "The Fool" a question, but instead chose to raise the question indirectly from Amon's perspective.
The woman's tone was as if she were speaking at a tarot reading! Could she also be connected to Mr. Fool...? However, I don't seem to know the answer to this question... Audrey's thoughts wandered for a moment before she focused her attention back on the question, only to find with some helplessness that she couldn't answer it.
The Tarot Club has learned quite a bit about Amon, but it seems that no one has really thought about this issue, as if it is only natural for Amon to appear in the land of the forsaken.
The atmosphere fell silent once more. The wandering magician's gaze swept almost imperceptibly over the two people beside him. Arzke's dark eyes were deep, as if he were recalling something, yet he remained silent. Leonard, too, showed no sign of speaking.
With a silent sigh, Klein broke the silence with a casual smile: "This is related to the abilities of the 'Thief' pathway."
"This answer doesn't require any price to pay; let's just continue to focus on the film."
Uh, I need to be careful, my tone can't sound too much like "The Fool"... Klein reminded himself as soon as he finished speaking. "The Fool's" speaking style comes from his imagined demeanor of a wise man, but when he plays the role of a mysterious angel, his tone might overlap with "The Fool's".
"Thank you for your answer." Edwina nodded slightly and looked away.
It's related to the abilities of the "Thief" pathway... Most of the Tarot Club members secretly pondered this answer, but Leonard didn't react much. After all, an angel with the "Thief" pathway was parasitizing within him, and he had already received the answer from that angel.
""really'..."
Pales's aged voice sounded thoughtfully, seemingly containing a silent sigh: "It seems that Amon and 'The Fool' have indeed been enemies for a long time."
"The fact that Amon went to such lengths to compete with the 'Fool' for the Source Castle suggests that the Source Castle is indeed closely related to the position of the 'Lord of Mysteries'."
Lord of Mysteries? Leonard subconsciously repeated this unfamiliar title in his mind, only to see his own figure suddenly appear in the film.
He paused for two seconds, his expression gradually stiffening.
"Today's lesson will tell you some important points."
"A certain high-sequence potion is called 'Parasitite'..."
"In reality, the extraordinary beings that are parasitized only become their nourishment, thus prolonging their lives and state."
Leonard, sitting with a group of night watchmen wearing red gloves. listened, and his smile gradually faded.
Back in his single room, Leonard sat by the window with a somber expression, his back to the outside, basking in the moonlight.
After a silence of about ten seconds, he suddenly spoke very softly. almost through gritted teeth:
"So you're a 'parasite'!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone looked at Leonard in unison. Some people quickly and cautiously looked away, while others could not hide their surprise.
Gehrman Sparrow had once asked "the star" if "that person had seen the second "blasphemous tablet"... Could it be that "that person" referred to the "parasite" inside him? Alger quickly recalled the incident that had left a deep impression on him.
After learning that the Goddess of Night and Mr. Fool were allies, Alger had guessed that "that person" was a high-ranking member of the Church of Night who was aware of their cooperation and would provide assistance to "Star". But now it seems that "Parasite" is more likely.
Since "that one" might have seen the second "blasphemous tablet," then He is very likely an angelic being! The "parasite" inside "Star" is very likely an angel... another angel! Thinking of this, Alger's breathing became a little heavier.
If my guess is correct, what connection could this angel have with Mr. Fool? He shouldn't be an angel under Mr. Fool's command, otherwise Gehrman Sparrow wouldn't have needed to entrust "The Star" with the message. He and Mr. Fool are more likely in a cooperative relationship....
So, is that "parasite still parasitizing "Star" at this moment?
Alger wasn't the only one with this question. However, Alger instinctively avoided looking directly at the enigmatic angel who might still be inside the "Star." But a few others, such as Melissa and Benson, showed obvious surprise and confusion in their expressions.
Leonard could naturally guess what the others were thinking. His lips twitched slightly, a hundred thoughts flashed through his mind, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.
"You have a terrible enemy? Who is he?"
Leonard listened intently for a moment, then muttered to himself thoughtfully:
"Amon..."
Alger became even more certain of his guess. He believed that it was likely an angel of the "Thief" pathway who, after being severely injured by Amon, parasitized the "Star" and, because of a common enemy, reached a deal with Mr. "Fool".
Thinking this, he suddenly felt a little envious of "Star's" good fortune in being possessed by an angel. Of course, such things are often accompanied by high risks, but judging from "Star's" current state, he wasn't one of those unlucky ones.
The scene shifts to the living room of Klein's rented apartment. Dr. Allen takes out his leather wallet and pulls out a beautifully crafted origami crane:
"After I found out that Will Auceptin and his family had moved away. I remembered that he had given me this before I was discharged from the hospital, saying, 'Doctor, this will bring you good luck."
As night deepened and the moonlight dimmed. Klein pulled out the origami crane he had prepared from his pocket. He carefully compared the origami crane that Will Onsett had taken from Dr. Allen's wallet with the one he had folded himself, to see if there were any obvious differences.
Upon seeing this. Klein immediately fell silent.
The craftsmanship of "Serpent of Fate" seems even better... Audrey quietly pursed her lips, inexplicably finding the scene somewhat comical.
When Mr. World asked me to ask the question to the angel of the Serpent of Fate, he gave me this origami crane as a medium of communication... It seems that the Serpent of Fate established direct contact with Mr. World at this time, which is probably related to Mr. Fool's instructions?
But why did the "Serpent of Fate" take such a roundabout approach? Right, when the "Hermit" offered the exchange for the angel's blood, one of her conditions was to "provide a method to temporarily restore some of her strength during periods of weakness"...
This angel might not be in good health, which is why they can't appear openly. And there might be a deeper meaning behind this action…
Leonard also recalled that during his battle with Amon, Klein had thrown a paper crane. Shortly after the paper crane was burned, the "Serpent of Fate" began its "reboot."
Does that origami crane contain the power of "destiny"? That seems unlikely... It's more likely a medium for communicating with the "Serpent of Destiny".Does that origami crane contain the power of "destiny"? That seems unlikely... It's more likely a medium for communicating with the "Serpent of Destiny".
Speaking of which, Klein's crafting skills aren't very good; he can fold them worse than a little kid...
"Sherlock, I recently took on a very lucrative missing person search mission. Use your resources to keep an eye out for me. If you find them, you'll get your share."
Stuart handed over the piece of paper and said:
"Oh, right, his name is... Stuart thought for a moment and said.
"Emlyn White."
Klein suddenly turned his head and looked at Stuart:
"ah?"
Klein circled around to the side of a building and silently climbed into a room.
He walked and looked around, and soon entered a bedroom, where dark figures came into view.
The figures, some large and some small, were lifeless; they were all exquisitely crafted dolls!
Klein looked around and couldn't help but click his tongue:
"These dolls aren't cheap!"
He picked up the dark red, round-bellied fountain pen with great interest and wrote down a passage on the yellowish-brown parchment:
"Its origin."
The scene then changes. Emlyn White, inside the dollhouse, is staring intently at a red-eyed "girl," his eyes glued to her as he pulls out his wallet.
Finally, the scene freezes in the bedroom where Klein is currently located. Emlyn, with his hair combed back to the side, sits on the edge of the bed, gazing affectionately at this doll, as well as all the other dolls of different sizes…
The image shattered, and Klein opened his eyes, covering his face with his hand.
Klein's reaction perfectly encapsulated the feelings of everyone present-he's a grown man, uh, a vampire, why is he so obsessed with dolls?
What are these things? They look like they're made to resemble real people, and they're very well made... But what's the use of them? Derrick was a little puzzled.
Does Mr. Moon have this kind of hobby? I suddenly found him kind of cute... Audrey thought, suppressing a laugh.
It must be incredibly embarrassing for him to have this exposed, maybe even more so than when I saw Susie secretly drinking the potion.... Suddenly I feel sorry for Mr. Moon, since this movie is supposed to be about Mr. World…
Klein, dressed normally, walked into the church of Mother Earth. Before he had taken more than a few steps, his gaze suddenly froze for a moment.
The scene shifts to a door leading to a room at the back of the church. where a man dressed in the robes of a priest from the Church of the Earth Mother enters. He has black hair, red eyes, a high nose, and thin lips; he is handsome but not particularly masculine. This is Emlyn White.
Klein's mouth opened little by little, almost unable to close.
"...What are you doing here? Did something happen? Do you need help?"
Emlyn White, his characteristic arrogance gone, revealed a smile that was barely better than a grimace:
"No need, I'll be home soon."
He pursed his lips, shook his head, and forced a smile:
"I am already a believer of the Mother Goddess, no, a priest."
What happened to your previous resolve? Does it all mean nothing now?
Mr. Moon doesn't seem very devout; he changed his faith so easily... Derrick frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the other's behavior.
"No matter what, I'm finally going to be free."
"Haha, this old guy who's all muscle and has gone crazy from religious fanaticism is so easy to fool!"
Klein glanced at the smug vampire, his expression slightly strange.
As he listened to Klein's explanation, Emlyn gradually froze, his gaze slowly losing focus.
After a dozen seconds, he whispered, his face pale:
"When I said I was willing to convert, the old man brought in a lantern with a candle inside. I didn't get a good look at what the candle looked like..."
Klein turned his head and gave Emlyn White a pitying look:
"Perhaps Father Utravsky used it to plant a seed in you, so that you would gradually, thoroughly, and truly believe in Mother Earth."
"They moved out in such a hurry that they didn't take many things with them, like those things in your room."
Emlyn White's expression suddenly became extremely interesting. He opened his mouth, stood up abruptly, squeezed past Klein, and rushed towards Bishop Utravsky in front of the Holy Symbol of Life.
"Father, Bishop. I want to go home, I want to go home. I want to go home!" Emlyn shouted.
"I think I'm starting to miss the Harvest Church, the feeling of reciting the scriptures, the symbol of life, and I want to do cleaning and tidying, just for an hour, just one hour..."
"Is there anything else I need to remind you of?"
"No!" Emlyn said angrily, his face contorted. "I will fight this feeling! I'm moving to the Sea of the North, to Feyssac. I don't believe I'll ever want to come back after leaving Backlund!"
Someone couldn't help but let out the first laugh, and soon Emlyn sat stiffly amidst the rising and falling low laughter and faces trying to suppress their laughter, his expression blank.
All of this will pass soon... He kept hypnotizing himself in his mind, and in his daze, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of grief and indignation towards Sherlock Moriarty.
Is this how friends should act...? I'm breaking off our friendship!
The camera panned to the side, revealing Klein staring at Emlyn, who was gritting his teeth. His profile showed a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
The scene shifts between light and dark, the background transforming into a greasy little café. Through the window, one can see faces visibly hungry, while Klein's expression grows more somber.
Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man with graying temples. The man was rambling on and on about the events in the East District to Klein:
"Detective, as you instructed, I have been keeping an eye on the textile worker..."
"...The entire eastern district was in chaos."
Many people didn't immediately realize where they were. However, Xio immediately recognized that this was the East District of Backlund-she had spent a long time there as a bounty hunter.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the others who had been here before quickly realized what was going on.
"As you instructed"? In other words, Gehrman Sparrow commissioned that person to investigate the situation in the East District? Alger immediately noticed this detail hidden in the words.
After the Lanius incident, Mr. Fool had already mentioned the close connection between the East and the descent of the evil god. It seems that this was most likely Mr. Fool's instruction, and he had foreseen everything that followed... He sighed silently, once again feeling sincere awe for the god's profound foresight.
Actions
↑ Top ← Previous Chapter After recounting some of his daily observations, Old Kohler continued:
"By the way. Liv's youngest daughter has gone missing."
"It's so pitiful. She's been a widow for years, always counting on her two daughters, but... sigh, the police in the East District probably won't put in much effort to look for her."
Klein remained silent for a few seconds, like a stone statue, and then. said:
"Take me to see them. I'm a detective; perhaps I can help them find someone."
"...They have no money," old Kohler reminded him.
Klein picked up his hat and cane and said:
"I also do volunteer work occasionally."
He reached out and adjusted his top hat, his raised arm momentarily obscuring his profile, making his expression impossible to see.
Volunteer... Melissa silently repeated these two words, feeling a slight sense of relief deep inside, yet also inexplicably feeling a little sad.
Alger couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression. He recalled his previous experience exploring the primitive island with Gehrman Sparrow.
He had been wary of the mad adventurer from the start, wondering if the man might turn against him. If it weren't for Mr. Fool's existence, he probably wouldn't have risked cooperating with Gehrman Sparrow at all.
Although he is now almost certain that the person in the film is Gehrman Sparrow, he still can't help but feel a strong sense of unreality.
Has Gehrman Sparrow's personality undergone a drastic change, or is my understanding of his personality flawed? Alger frowned imperceptibly, unable to pinpoint which possibility was more difficult for him to accept.
Klein used the "divination stick" method to find a luxurious courtyard through Daisy's vocabulary book.
He did not stop there, and the coachman responded with slight surprise to his instruction to "continue onward":
"Sir, aren't you here to visit Mr. Capin?"
Klein smiled and countered, "Why do you think that?"
"People often come from the East District and ride my carriage here. Hehe, this is the home of the wealthy Mr. Capin," the coachman replied casually.
Kapin? The human trafficker killed by Klein? Leonard's mind quickly flooded with the corresponding memories.
Klein just can't settle down, just like back in Tingen, always getting involved in all sorts of extraordinary events... he thought to himself jokingly, yet still felt a heaviness in his heart.
The scene in the frame kept shrinking and faintly flashing red light, eventually transforming into a red star above a gray mist.
The Fool, who had been leaning back in the high-backed chair at the head of the bronze table, leaned forward slightly, gazing at the twinkling red star. A faint smile seemed to appear on his lips, but it turned into a silent sigh..
The sight... Leonard felt a chill run down his spine, as if his previous vague fears had been further confirmed.
Mr. Fool was watching Klein, and Klein's decision to investigate Capin was probably of his own volition…
Mr. Fool not only possesses the authority over the "Fate" pathway, but also seems to be in a cooperative relationship with Amon's brother!
In other words, he could completely orchestrate the trajectory of Klein's fate, ensuring he encountered a series of necessary coincidences...
Leonard's gaze grew increasingly serious. After accepting the possibility of divine intervention, many things he wouldn't have thought about deeply before gained a deeper explanation. The panic and helplessness of knowing that every step he took was driven by the will of others reminded him of his nightmarish memories of Tingen.
Although Mr. Fool is usually quite friendly to the members of the Tarot Club, this does not mean that he would sacrifice his own important interests for humanity.
He suddenly remembered what the old man had once told him:
Believe in the power of God, but do not believe in His mercy.
Do not trust His mercy…
Just as the Fool withdrew his gaze, another deep red star expanded outward, creating ripples.
A blurry figure with slightly curly brown hair then flashes into view:
"A fool who doesn't belong to this era..."
"I want to pray to you and tell you what happened to me today."
"I met the older brother of the husband of the old lady who made me her 'apprentice,' and he seemed to be a member of some family..."
"I concealed the fact that it relates to the mystical realm, but I fear he possesses extremely strong divination abilities and might be able to uncover the complete truth..."
The Fool remained silent for a moment, then tapped the bronze tabletop, his body enveloped in swirling gray mist.
In the dark room, surrounded by the sound of running water, the little boy pouted, a hint of grievance in his eyes.
The scene then changed, and a majestic and solemn angelic phantom appeared before Fors, who was half-asleep, wrapping her in layers of black wings.
Seeing this, Anderson couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a rare hint of surprise showing in his usually smiling, emerald eyes.
This cult is offering such good treatment! Compared to the knowledge-based churches that force members to study and take exams, it's like heaven and hell!
I think I might convert to the "Fool" faith... Maybe I should talk to Danitz or Gehrman? He thought with a hint of irony.
A slight ripple couldn't help but appear in Edwina's calm, light blue eyes.
If there were sufficient reasons to send angels to purify "the sun" Derrick before, then this time it really seems too extravagant-there is absolutely no need to send an angel-level being just to interfere with the divination of a mid-sequence extraordinary being.
Or, this is a very ordinary thing for the "fool".
Edwina closed her eyes, her mind filled with the news from the Bayam coast.
She was somewhat puzzled as to why Danitz would be chosen by that seemingly high-ranking being, but upon reflection, the initial members of the Tarot Club were equally unremarkable, having been drawn to the Gray Fog simply because of a few items of unknown purpose. In this light, it wasn't impossible that Danitz had joined for a similar reason.
Fors noticed Will Auceptin's aggrieved look, and her first instinctive thought was: This angel has absolutely no airs of superiority; he just looks like an ordinary child…
But just a moment later, as she came to her senses, a slight chill ran down her spine: Was the angel dissatisfied with this? Surely he wouldn't harbor any thoughts of revenge?
Thankfully, this was Mr. Fool's intention and won't affect me... She comforted herself, feeling a little relieved.
Above the gray fog. "The Fool" continued to watch Klein within the crimson star. He divined the extent of Daisy's predicament and the danger of her actions, then looked at the pendulum in his left hand spinning rapidly clockwise, closed his eyes, and chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"Aren't you looking for opportunities to perform proactively?"
"This is it!"
The Fool gently tapped the table, then slowly leaned back in his high-backed chair, sat quietly for a few seconds, and then a thin stream of light flew into the deep red star.
What was that streak of light? Alger keenly noticed the barely perceptible glimmer.
Based on his understanding of the "Black Emperor" matter, the next step should be for Mr. Fool to point out to Gehrman Sparrow that the secret behind Capin is not simple, and to make corresponding demands.
The words of command... Thinking of this, Alger suddenly recalled his "manifestation ability when he was above the gray fog.
Does Mr. Fool's response to us in the real world also originate from "manifestation"? Indeed, in the previous video content, the responses we received were all heard from the perspective of the praying person; we didn't see how Mr. Fool responded…
In other words, the answers Mr. Fool gave us did not come from actual spoken words, but rather from words formed in his mind? Was that stream of light a symbol? Alger realized something.
Klein, who was prepared, was pulled into the gray mist by "The Fool". He walked to the "Gate of Summoning", picked up the "Black Emperor" card, and had his spirit envelop it.
A dark, ethereal mist then enveloped Klein, clinging to his surface and forming a majestic suit of armor.
A jet-black crown now adorned his head, and a long, matching cloak covered his back, making him look like an emperor about to embark on a campaign.
"The Blasphemy Card can be used like this..." Alger sighed, a hint of envy rising in his heart.
Is this the preferential treatment given to those who are favored? Even the "blasphemy card" that contains the path to godhood can be borrowed.
Although this was to take advantage of the "Blasphemy Card's" high status and anti-divination abilities, Alger didn't believe that the person who received the "Blasphemy Card" wouldn't remember its contents. In this way, even if Gehrman Sparrow hadn't witnessed Mr. Fool opening the "Black Emperor" card before, he would now surely have mastered all the recipes and rituals of the "Black Emperor" method.
Even if the extraordinary path is different, it undoubtedly has great value.
In his spirit form, Klein silently slipped into the Capin family's dining room, reached into his body, and unscrewed the cap of the small, semi-transparent brown bottle.
Kapin raised his hand and scratched his cheek, then scratched it again.
"It's a little itchy." Kapin said with an apologetic smile.
Horace narrowed his eyes, suddenly stood up, and warily surveyed his surroundings.
"Haha, hahaha."
An exaggerated laugh suddenly broke out, and no ordinary person in the entire restaurant was spared.
Bang! Katie overturned the table, and a revolver and a black soft whip appeared in her hand.
The black figure struck by the bullet spontaneously combusted without wind; it turned out to be a crudely cut paper doll, which quickly turned to ashes in the pale golden flames.
Snap!
A strange, crisp sound erupted, and the light from the sixteen elegant gas wall lamps and the quietly burning flames in the fireplace suddenly brightened, illuminating Horace, Katie, and Parker's vision for a brief moment only as a fiery red glow.
Immediately, all the flames went out, leaving only the streetlights, as tall as a person, and the crimson moonlight piercing through the clouds, quietly illuminating the restaurant and making it appear unusually dim.
The experienced Star Admiral Cattleya narrowed her eyes slightly, a vague guess forming in her mind.
Seeing Katie raise her revolver, about to fire, and seeing Horace about to pronounce his "death" again, Klein smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
Horace's pupils suddenly contracted, but at that moment, a flame lit up in the fireplace to the side, igniting the surrounding air.
¡Boom!
With a loud bang, dazzling flames instantly filled the entire room, like a grand fireworks display.
The onlookers instinctively gasped in amazement, then a hint of doubt arose in their minds.
"It was just a fire, why did it cause an explosion?" Danitz asked, bewildered.
Anderson, after all, was once the strongest hunter and "scheming mastermind, and the kind who often caused trouble. His experience in combat and strategy was naturally much richer than that of Danitz, who had been protected by the Golden Dream or the Church of Sea God for a long time. After a moment's thought, he gave Danitz a bright smile without any politeness:
"You've seen the whole thing, can't you figure it out? Either it's the function of the poison bottle itself, or he found an opportunity to destroy the gas pipeline during the battle."
Edwina nodded, agreeing with Anderson's idea: "He most likely sabotaged the gas pipeline the moment the flames in the fireplace blazed brightly, taking advantage of the other Extraordinary's attention being diverted. And the presence of the 'biotoxin bottle' would also cause the opponent to mistake the smell of gas for the characteristics of poison gas, thus lowering their guard."
Anderson grinned to show his approval, then glanced at Danitz and clicked his tongue, saying, "I actually had a little hope for you a while ago, but now I take it back. You'll probably never finish digesting the Conspierer potion! in your lifetime."
Danitz was so angry he wanted to retaliate, but Anderson changed the subject and muttered, "In comparison, I think the guy in the movie is more suited to the 'hunter' route."
You're not the first person to say that... Klein thought expressionlessly as he overheard their conversation.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Inside the basement, one iron door after another opened rapidly, as if invisible ghosts were running around unlocking them.
Taking advantage of the opportunity. Daisy and the other girls escaped from the basement and ran faster and faster toward freedom, until they reached the street before they remembered to look back.
Looking back, they vaguely saw a majestic figure standing upright on the top of the sinful house, clad in all-black armor and wearing a jet-black crown.
¡Whoosh!
The cloak behind that figure began to flutter silently.
Klein returned to the dilapidated, charred restaurant, took out all the major cards from the tarot deck, and walked to the side of Capin's corpse.
Then, he deliberately took out two cards and poured the rest onto Kapin.
After completing this step, he placed the two specially drawn tarot cards face up over Kapin's eyes.
Those are the "Judgment" cards, depicting an angel blowing a trumpet. and the "Emperor" card, depicting an emperor wearing armor and a crown.
Compared to last time, Mr. World is clearly more purposeful this time... Is this act of scattering Tarot cards Mr. Fool's instruction? Does Mr. Fool intend for the Tarot to gradually appear in the real world? Audrey guessed.
At the time, I thought that Mr. Fool's followers wouldn't be targeting Capin purely to punish evil; there must be a deeper meaning behind it. Now it seems that Mr. World's initial motive was simply to save people and punish evil... uh, and also to further digest the potion? In any case, his plan happened to overlap with Mr. Fool's plan, so Mr. Fool provided further assistance.
Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Audrey couldn't help but feel doubtful…
The series of coincidences that occurred in Tingen could be explained by the arrangement of the sealed artifacts "0-08", but the series of coincidences after arriving in Backlund could not be explained by any reasonable reason.
Almost simultaneously, the two powerful members of the church noticed something and abruptly turned to leave.
They discovered a majestic figure covered in black armor and wearing a black crown on the roof of the house next to the villa.
The figure nodded slightly, and the cloak billowed in response.
Then, he vanished without warning, right under the noses of the two high-ranking powerhouses.
"He's so handsome! It must feel amazing!"
Danitz couldn't help but feel envious.
