Is there a new member? Forsi jumped over Xio, who was sitting on a chair that was nearly a head lower than him, and glanced at the model figure in an inconspicuous manner.
She has blond hair and blue eyes, and looks good in her clothes. And...for some reason, this "Temperance" lady always gives me the feeling of not being alive, just like the first Mr. "World"
Same.
Forsi habitually analyzed Sharon and found that this new member was not simple.
At the same time, other members also looked to the right side of the long table.
Audrey, who was usually the most active person, was obviously a little absent-minded. It wasn't until she looked at Miss Temperance for two or three seconds that she remembered to introduce them in order of membership.
"This is...Mr. World?"
After introducing everyone present, Miss "Audience" slowly discovered that the "World" that usually sat opposite Mr. "Fool" was missing.
Is Miss Justice in the wrong state?
Alger, who was always keen, noticed that "Justice" was mentally weak. He slowly lifted his gaze from Sharon and looked at the nearby members.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but it seems that except for him, everyone is not very interested, only "Magician" is relatively better.
"The 'World' is performing my mission and will not attend this party."
The "Secret" at the top nodded slightly, interrupting everyone's speculation.
She looked around and found that no member wanted to hand in Roselle's diary this time. Just in line with her wishes, she took the initiative to skip this link and start free discussion.
To be honest, she didn't really want to talk about playing house with these little guys.
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man,' thank you for the information you provided," Forsi saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he took the initiative to break the awkwardness and said, "Thank you, 'Sun,' too."
Alger glanced at it and accepted Forsi's thanks in a tacit understanding, smiling and saying:
"It seems that you and Miss Judgment's promotions were successful."
As he spoke, Alger's expression did not change, as if he casually mentioned a topic he was interested in.
"By the way, has anything happened on the mainland recently?"
Mainland... Sharon cast her gaze silently, labeling "The Hanged Man" in her mind to be determined - a pirate or a punisher of the Church of Storms.
She looked at the patterns embroidered with waves and lightning patterns on the other person's body, and thought it was most likely the latter.
Hearing the question of "The Hanged Man", Forsi blinked, and then looked at his friend next to him with a guilty conscience.
Xio felt her friend's eyes pleading for help and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"An unprecedented heavy smog appeared in the East District of Backlund yesterday. At least 400,000 people died or went missing in the East District. Not only that, a large-scale 'demon' attack also broke out on the edge of the East District and the Backlund Bridge area, but it has been suppressed.
Already."
Alger's smile suddenly froze on his face, almost thinking that he was living in a dream.
Although he knew how bad the security situation in East District of Backlund was, he never thought that anyone could cause any real trouble there.
That is the capital of Loen, a real metropolis where demigods and angels sit!
"The heavy smog in the East District may also be related to the Carpinx and human smuggling that Mr. World previously investigated. Moreover, the royal family released the news this morning that it was Prince Edsac and the Witch Cult who had a secret relationship with the devil that led to the tragedy."
Audrey suddenly spoke, filling in the information that Xio didn't have.
She looked in the direction of the "Hanged Man", her green eyes lacked light.
"This is the message provided by the angel of the Alchemy Society in the Heart."
After the banquet that day, Audrey, who was kindly revealed by Angelweed to reveal part of the reality of the world, has been thinking about why such a thing happened.
As a result, she failed to get an answer in the end. Instead, she lost her appetite in front of a sumptuous table at noon today. The 400,000 people who died in the East District last night and the singing and dancing in Queens gave her a huge sense of separation from reality.
Among the nobles, the tragedy in the East End last night made everyone most interested in only Prince Edsac being bewitched by a witch, and finally had to commit suicide out of fear of crime. The gentlemen care about the impact of the prince's death on the political situation, and the ladies care about this mistake.
Even if none of the details behind the love story are true, no one cares about the 400,000 people who died. On the contrary, the aristocrats who are part-time factory owners are still cheering that the smog in the East District has passed.
The problem of landless farmers being unable to resettle due to the Corn Laws could finally be solved, and her own brother was also part of the cheers.
When she came into contact with reality for the first time, she was still very ignorant and lacked experience, so she could not sort out her chaotic thoughts, so she decided to disclose this information to others, hoping to find answers from different people... Unfortunately, before
Mr. World, who is really pursuing these, was not able to attend the party today.
The angel of the alchemy meeting in my heart... Sharon, who had been observing the party process as an outsider, was finally touched. After thinking for a while, she joined the work of restoring the truth of the East District smog incident.
“The smog in the East District is the product of the ‘Witch’s’ extraordinary ability.”
"He's a demigod."
Hearing this ethereal voice, Alger suddenly leaned against the back of his chair and quickly left. He glanced at the table in front of "The Fool" and sat upright.
He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Connected with various rumors about the "Vice Admiral's Disease" at sea, he figured out the nature of the haze without much thought, but he still could not accept this reality quickly.
Scanning his eyes across the party members, he found that even the "Magician" was inevitably affected to a certain extent this time. Only the "Sun" quickly lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
To get this information, the "temperance" sequence is at least higher than mine. Is she a sequence five?
"Perhaps this smog itself, like the previous slave trade, happened with the tacit consent of the royal family." The Hanged Man chewed on the various heavyweight information he had just received, trying to integrate its true face, "A prince has no capital.
When we talk about cooperation with the Witch Sect supported by the True God, Prince Edsac can only be pushed out as a scapegoat..."
He tried hard to fight against the fear in his heart, and cast his gaze at the top leader, expecting Mr. Fool to seal the deal, but unfortunately he received no response.
No one spoke anymore, and the gathering fell into an extremely quiet silence, as if in mourning.
After more than ten seconds, Derrick raised his head. Seeing that everyone was finally no longer discussing issues he didn't understand, he tried to express his troubles.
He didn't care if a prince died, he just felt sad for the 400,000 people who died whom he had never met, and was a little afraid of the terrifying number of 400,000.
"Everyone, I met a terrifying angel who can parasitize others, Amon."
This plain language was like a depth bomb, which immediately shocked all the members. Even the confused Audrey and the clueless Sharon cheered up.
Especially Alger, who was sitting next to Derrick, his heartbeat accelerated and he almost jumped out of his seat.
However, when he thought that Mr. Fool was here and that even the most evil angel could not cause any trouble, Alger calmed down a little.
"Have you not returned to Silver City and been isolated and locked in a dungeon?"
"I just met that angel in the dungeon." Derrick didn't hold anything back. After asking the "Fool" at the top for instructions, he slowly told about his own experience, as well as some information that the chief mentioned to him in a vague way afterwards (
In fact, it is stated clearly).
An angel who can parasitize in other people's bodies and replace their fate almost touches the gray fog following the "Sun" prayer ceremony!
Listening to this perfect horror story, Forsi couldn't help but feel inspired and inspired. However, he still instinctively looked around to make sure that nothing bad was left on the gray mist before continuing to spread.
Unlike his friends, Xio on the side was much more serious. He touched his frightened little heart and looked at "Justice" and "The Hanged Man".
Mr. "World" is not here, so these two are the most reliable members of the party.
"In other words, you didn't realize what you did during the process of being parasitized?"
Audrey recalled the mental body island mentioned in the knowledge theory of the Inner Alchemy Society, and thought about the "hypnosis" and personality transformation that consultant Rambis repeatedly mentioned, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Yes." Derrick nodded guiltily. He could feel that everyone was dissatisfied with his negligence in almost threatening Mr. Fool.
An angel who took the initiative to set up a clone and lurked in the Silver City for forty-two years... Thinking of the other party's ability to relate time, Alger was sure that the other party must be here for Mr. Fool!
But before he could reprimand "The Sun", he saw the new member who said very little looked at him.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw the oppression that made his soul tremble in the eyes of the "temperance", and saw a touch of scarlet, a touch of scarlet that condensed endless desire!
Could this "Temperance" be a demigod?
Sharon didn't care about "The Hanged Man"'s fear of her, but instead labeled "The Sun" as "immature but responsible".
"Amon is suspected to be the son of the Creator."
The suspected son of the Creator... Everyone in the Tarot Club fell into silence again. Derrick "The Sun" had the biggest reaction. He looked at the top leader regardless of etiquette, his eyes trembling.
"Secret" glanced at Sharon and raised a smile on his lips.
"Amon is indeed the second son of the Creator and one of the eight angel kings under her during the Third Age."
Being picked up by these little guys, "Secret" suddenly remembered what he said to Amon last time, and became interested.
She changed into a more comfortable position and shared some innocuous things in a calm tone.
"Amon is one of the few angels who still insists on operating in the land abandoned by God. As long as Silver City still maintains its faith in her father, she will not interfere in anything."
As she said that, she looked at Audrey again, looking at this little girl with a beautiful heart, and took the initiative to relieve her confusion.
"As for what happened in Backlund, it was indeed the result of the tacit approval of the Loen royal family, but the details and motives are more complicated and beyond the scope of what you can accept."
"Did Hervin Rambis mention to you some methods of playing the core role of the 'audience'?"
"She should have recognized your contribution and is ready to support your promotion to Sequence Seven."
Audrey nodded slightly, sat obediently like a little girl, turned her body sideways and faced the top.
"Of course what she said makes sense, but I don't completely agree with it." "Secret" still smiled, "After all, she herself is not a very successful 'audience'."
"Although the 'audience' is the person behind the scenes, they are also the ones who observe and witness the development of time, or guide or intervene in the control according to their own wishes. This also makes them unable to hide behind the scenes forever."
"And when the 'audience' really walks into the stage, they who were originally standing in the dark will also have traces to follow, and the same is true for the masterminds behind those events. At least at this time, you can always seize some opportunities to
Change what you want to change.”
"Nothing is absolute. It's just that your level is too low now and you are not qualified to participate in the game and let events change according to your own wishes."
"Secret" looked at Audrey who gradually raised her head, and said in a soft voice:
"Just imagine, if you had become a demigod, you might be able to detect some signs of the smog in advance, and you might be able to prepare in advance to reduce the weight of this tragedy."
"Secret" strictly does not use words like "eliminate" or "avoid", and she does not think the smog is a tragedy.
Everything I just said was just to comfort the children.
Having said this, she stopped clicking and left the thinking to Audrey. She turned to look at the other thoughtful members and tapped her fingers on the table.
She did not intend to reveal any more information to "The Sun". These were not her duties, and the troublesome matters should be left to Klein to worry about.
"control."
"Mr. Fool." Sharon quickly stood up and bowed deeply towards the top.
This move made "Secret" even more satisfied with the girl he chose.
"Stabilize the state as soon as possible. Some changes will occur at sea. The 'world' will soon return to Backlund. I need you to help him walk for me. The changes at sea are also an opportunity for you to completely complete the ceremony."
"Your will is my will."
Nodding, "Secret" turned his gaze to look at "The Hanged Man". As soon as the old man felt God's gaze, he imitated "Temperance" and bowed deeply.
"Mr. Fool."
"Secret" nodded with satisfaction, "Continue to pay attention to Bayam's situation. Edmund should have mentioned the specific details to you."
"Yes." Alger nodded slightly, but a trace of doubt could not help but arise in his heart.
He has stayed in Bayam for a long time, and recently he had to follow the church's order to go back to sea. However, for such a long time, he still didn't understand what Mr. Fool valued, so he could only collect all the information, big and small.
Record it and report it to His Highness Edmund.
Seeing the other members being handed over by Mr. Fool himself one by one, Derrick was a little impatient. After a while of inner tangles, he gritted his teeth, stood up and said to the leader:
"Mr. Fool, Silver City will organize an exploration of a city-state that once believed in you in the near future."
The city-state that believes in me... It took "Secret" a while to find out roughly who the Silver City might visit from its long memory, and turned its attention to Derrick.
"Pay attention to the possible remaining ruins and monsters in the city-state."
"Remember, what you see may not be true."
At this point, her interest was almost gone, and she knocked on the table again, taking the initiative to end the party.
"That's it."
...
In the foggy town, Klein finally regained his composure, looked at the steeple church not far away, and asked Antigonus:
