"He was very excited, excited, worried, ecstatic and a little vigilant..." Klein quietly turned on his spiritual vision and judged the other person's mental state through the young man's aura, while Snow, who was standing opposite the long bronze table,
He quickly reacted and said in the humble tone he learned from the Aurora Society:
"Praise be to you, great and benevolent being, Snow von Penridax salutes you."
"Snow? It's the suspect during the day!" Klein finally asked where he had heard the surname Panridax, but he restrained his surprise very well and said in a leisurely and relaxed tone:
"Don't be too cautious, you can call me, Fool."
But as soon as the words came out, Klein suddenly noticed that the young man's expression became more humble. He bowed his waist deeply and lowered his head.
"Why did he react like this? Although his tone was humble before, it was just the polite respect of a weak person facing a strong person, but now he has completely regarded himself as a subordinate... Could it be that the title of Fool has any meaning?
What's the special meaning?" Klein even forgot his true intention of pulling the other party up for a moment, but soon he suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Compared with the issue of the title, what is more important now is the safety of Tingen!
He carefully considered his tone, and then said in a playful tone:
"Relax a little. I'm a little interested in your previous prayer. Let's talk about it."
"Please forgive me for being rude and talking nonsense while praying..." Snow put one hand on his chest, bowed, and then raised his head and said:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I come from a secret and ancient family. Although the family has declined, it has left behind many precious books and secrets. In the process of pursuing the glory of my ancestors, I accidentally encountered the Aurora Society. In order to save my life,
, I had to join this organization.
They forced me to drink the Secret Prayer potion - those crazy people didn't care about the loyalty of their members, because as long as they wanted to digest the Secret Prayer potion, they had to pray to the mysterious existence, but you must also know that the true Creator has already
Falling into madness, once you pray to Him, your spirit will inevitably be distorted.
Although I relied on an extraordinary item passed down by my family to fake the appearance of devout prayers, according to the Aurora Society's practice, if the secret prayer potion is not digested for two months, it will be regarded as disloyal to the true Creator.
I was executed, so I hope I can pray to you secretly to digest the secret prayer potion."
"Aurora Society? Is that an organization that only appeared in the past one or two hundred years and believes in the true Creator?
That's right! The spell of Heina Senfansent does point to the true Creator, but...the true Creator has fallen into madness? This Snow...or the Penridax family from which he came, seems to know a lot of secrets!
He took the risk to pray to the hidden existence using the ritual passed down by his family. Was it because he wanted to act as a secret prayer man to digest the magic potion?
Also, is the extraordinary item he mentioned the same white horse I saw before?"
Klein thought silently in his mind, and then asked in a casual tone like talking about market rumors:
"You seem to have mentioned before that the evil god is coming?"
"Yes, respected Mr. Fool." Snow nodded and said in a respectful tone with a hint of worry:
"The members of the Aurora Society are a group of lunatics. They are always planning for the coming of the true Creator. I was sent to Tingen City half a month ago. Soon after, I learned from a secret prayer that they were trying to make the evil god come.
Advent plan.
I killed the two secret practitioners who were the leaders of the plan through a sneak attack, and reported it on the pretext that 'they attracted the attention of the official Beyonders', but according to what those two people said, they had already planted the seeds in Tingen.
Even if I kill them, it will only delay for a while. If I cannot find the seed, when it breaks out, the entire city... and even the entire Kingdom of Loen will be completely destroyed."
"This!" After hearing Snow's words, Klein felt his hair standing on end, but at the same time, he began to think about strategies to deal with it.
Report Snow to the church?
This idea was dismissed by Klein as soon as it came up. Not to mention that he had no reason to report a person who had been judged by the captain as not a suspect. Even if he was arrested, he would only know that Tingen was facing a crisis.
On the contrary, if he were allowed to continue lurking in the Aurora Society, he might be able to find out more information.
Moreover, the other party seems to know a lot of secret knowledge. If he joins the Tarot Society, he should be able to learn a lot of things.
The most important thing is that this person has a very good bottom line.
But, what should I say?
Directly ask him to investigate relevant information?
Wouldn’t this be inconsistent with the image of a fool?
Or should he directly say that his prayer is allowed?
But what kind of excuse should be used?
Or just let him join the Tarot Society?
Seeing Mr. Fool at the head of the long table caressing the edge of the long bronze table in a leisurely manner, Snow knew that this gentleman must be worrying about how to organize his words. Just as he was thinking about whether to give Mr. Fool a step down.
At that moment, Mr. Fool suddenly chuckled and said:
"I am a fool who likes equal exchange. If I want to get something, I have to pay a corresponding price. What can you pay?"
"My everything! My soul! My flesh and blood! As long as you want it, I can give it to you!" Snow's answer was almost without hesitation, but Mr. Fool chuckled and shook his head:
"I have no interest in mortal flesh and soul."
Having said this, Klein glanced at the emotion that was slipping towards despair and said leisurely:
"But I can give you a chance!"
"You can use everything you can get, from me, from other people like you, to get what you want. Note that it must be of equal value..."
"By the way, I am also very interested in your information about the coming of the evil god. As a reward, I allow you to pray to me to digest the potion. In addition, the meeting time is every Monday at three o'clock in the afternoon. Remember to keep yourself alone.
Of course, before that, you need to choose your code name."
While Mr. Fool hinted that Snow could continue to use the information about the coming of the evil god in exchange for benefits, he took out a deck of tarot cards and spread them out on the long bronze table:
"The members of the party decided to use the names of Tarot cards as their respective code names, but Justice and the Hanged Man already have owners and cannot choose..."
"Devil." Snow looked at Mr. Fool calmly, and with almost no hesitation, he reported the code name that was decided by throwing a twenty-sided dice before coming:
"I am just a prisoner bound by chains now, but I hope that one day I will be able to reverse my position and break free from the shackles."
"Remember your choice and don't give in to temptation."
