Chapter Eighty-Three: The Secret Eye (Third Thanks)
In the captain's room, Cordelia slowly rose from the floor and walked silently to the full-length mirror next to the bookcase.
In the mirror, her face was fair and smooth, there was not a single crack in sight, her ears were normal and small, showing no signs of expansion, and her dark purple black eyes were calm and waveless, as if nothing had happened.
However, Gardelia's mystical eyes can see more:
Eyeball-like flesh hidden under the skin, not yet completely dissolved, the spirit of pain and madness fading away, the indescribable illusory things roaming around, the sailors who cleaned the deck from room to room......
Everything within a few tens of meters was unobscured but unusually chaotic in her field of vision.
Since the day she became the "Astrologer" of Sequence 5, she has greatly improved the ability of the "Voyeur", and she can still vaguely see a thick curtain like a shadow around her, and behind the curtain, something seems to be watching her, watching all living beings.
There is no trace of being influenced by Mr. "Fool", which in reverse says a lot...... He, no, his ability to directly pull my spirit body into that mysterious space is strange, strong, and secretive, and it is not comparable to that demigod-level scepter...... Although He is dressed in fashionable clothes, this does not mean anything, for it is very simple for a being of this level to appear differently in the eyes of different people, and his true appearance may cause everyone who looks directly to die uncontrollably...... Cordelia stared at herself in the mirror, silently reflecting on what had just happened.
She inevitably had some speculation about the identity of Mr. "Fool", but this could only be speculation, speculation without evidence.
"His tuxedo does not mean that He is young, he has not been born for a long time, maybe His essence is ancient, older than the Seven Gods, and the knowledge that has been chased tells me that there were even older gods before the Cataclysm, and He may be one of them. Gadelia muttered to herself silently, turned away from the full-length mirror, walked back to the place where she had been struggling in agony, and picked up the glasses that had fallen aside.
She framed her heavy glasses to her nose, obscuring her dark purple eyes, and everything that was not part of her normal vision quickly disappeared from her "face".
There Gardelia stood, pondering once again the impact of Mister Fool and the so-called Tarot on herself.
Unconsciously, a tall figure appeared in her mind, and the words that she could never forget echoed in her ears again:
"Leave, your fate is not mine. ”
Is this my fate, Your Majesty?" Gardelia closed her eyes.

Above the gray mist, inside the ancient and majestic palace.
Klein's fingers tapped the edge of the mottled table, causing all the tarot cards on it to disappear.
He was thinking about the follow-up to the "Star General" joining the Tarot Society:
"If there is no other way, I may really have to leave the safe course and enter the ocean of the ruins of the divine war, in search of the mermaid's song, when the time comes, the 'hermit' who is afraid of the 'fool' and can be controlled by me to a certain extent is obviously more reliable than the iceberg lieutenant admiral Edwina and his collaborators, and it is safer to borrow her ship...... Well, Mr. 'Hanged Man' is the alternative.
"The 'Star General' is a member of the Morse Ascetic Society, and he has a lot of knowledge, which is very helpful to the Tarot Society, but for me, there is a certain hidden danger, and the image of Mr. 'Fool' is based on the unfathomable...... In the future, you have to be more cautious, resolutely don't answer without pretending to understand, and prefer to be ambiguous when you are not sure, and even use a magic stick treatment method, of course, if you want to completely solve similar problems, you must improve yourself as soon as possible, become a high-level powerhouse as soon as possible, and your strength must be worthy of the level, and the level must be worthy of the personality.
"With such a Sequence Level 5 and many strong men under his command joining, the overall strength of the Tarot Club is not low.
"After getting the 'Seagod Scepter', I don't have to worry that such a Tarot Club member is too strong and prone to problems.
"I hope that one day in the future, the 'Star General', a member of the Morse Ascetic, will become an important helper for me to take revenge on the 'Hidden Sage'. ”
Crane let out a sigh, and the figure disappeared into the gray mist.

Beckland, Bottom of St. Samuel's Church.
A red-gloved night watchman with a telegram entered the makeshift office assigned to them.
"Captain, something is wrong with the port of Enmat. He said to Sost, the "Requiem Master", with a little excitement.
Sost touched the hair on his right sideburn and said:
"What's the situation?"
"The new situation of the 'fool', the 'fool' that the aurora will seek. The team member with the telegram handed over the paper in his hand.
His answer immediately attracted the attention of several red-gloved people present, including the black-haired and green-eyed man in the corner, with the chair cocked up, his feet resting on the table, and his top hat covering his face.
Sost took the telegram, glanced at it, and immediately smiled:
"Someone falsely claimed to be his dependent, tried to deceive, but was killed by a bolt of lightning after reciting his honorable name.
"There really is a hidden being called the 'Fool'......"
The files related to the two Tarot rituals and the "Fool" have been handed over to Sost's Red Glove team to investigate, but there are no clues about the matter, and they don't pay attention to it, because they have other tasks on their hands.
"Does the Fool have the ability to lightning?" said Leonard Mitchell as he removed the black top hat covering his face.
"Who knows, if he is the embodiment of an old friend, and he can prepare the corresponding magical items in advance, he can do similar things, which is not without precedent in the past, especially those false gods on the Southern Continent and the colonial islands, hehe, that liar lied that the 'Fool' is the embodiment of the 'Storm Lord', which may be the reason why he was killed by lightning and not otherwise. Sost leisurely tossed the telegram aside.
Leonard glanced at it, put his feet away, half of his body, and chuckled softly:
"Not going to look it up?"
"How's that you, disguised as an ignorant, and chanting his name?" thrust scoffed.
This is very likely to catch the tail of the "fool", but I basically say goodbye to this world, my "nightmare" digestion progress is good, I just got a good thing, there are still many sequences waiting for me in front of me, where am I willing to sleep peacefully? Leonard stroked his drooping hair and said:
"How many death row inmates can you try?"
But he could have been left unanswered. Sost shook his head.
"Starting with those two cases involving tarot rituals, I feel more and more that this has something to do with the 'Fool', firstly, the 'Fool' itself is the main card of the tarot cards, and secondly, the organization that seeks or wants his dependents is the Aurora Society, and the first case involving the Tarot Ritual is the case of Langerwus, and the Aurora Society's attempt to bring the 'True Creator' to the United Nations is thus destroyed. Leonar pulled on his black waistcoat and stood up.
Thorst thought for a moment and said:
"The clues of the other cases have just been broken, we don't have anything to do for the time being, you can try to focus on the two tarot ritual cases. ”
"Okay. Leonard responded with a smile.
This is exactly what he wants to achieve, to gain freedom of action for a certain period of time with the help of a case that no one cares about whether it is found or not.

At 2:50 p.m., Fluth shivered back from the cold street.
It's not that she wants to go out in this wet and cold weather, but the food stock at home has been depleted, and Hugh chased to Port Pletz in order to capture a fugitive in order to collect a bounty, and he didn't know when he would be able to return home.
"She always instinctively pursues and captures fugitives, and to some extent, she plays a ......" Furth held a large brown paper bag, habitually took out the key to open the mailbox, and grabbed the letters and bills inside.
Entering the room, putting away the food, and taking off the thick coat that had been tightly wrapped, Forthth flipped through the letters.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up because there was a letter from her teacher, Dorian Gray.
After she was promoted to "master trickster", she wrote this matter in a letter and mailed it to Dorian Gray, hoping to get congratulations from her teacher and follow-up guidance, but after several days, she could not wait for a reply, and she was a little worried for a while, thinking about whether to go to Pletzer Harbor to have a look.
Foirth quickly opened the envelope and browsed:
“...... I'm sorry to write back now, I was away from Port Pletzer for a while, for the funeral of a relative.
“...... I'm glad you have a lot of talent, maybe the stories you have hidden in your heart have helped you play better, and when you're done digesting the 'Master of Tricks' potion, I'll give you a gift in addition to the recipe for Sequence 7 'Astrologer' and certain materials......
"...... the focus of the 'master of tricks' is on the words 'acting' and 'fooling', and 'fooling' can also be replaced by 'deception', which is something that has been proven by generations of extraordinary people...... You can refer to the other ways of 'trickster' and 'magician', their names have similar meanings in some ways......"
Fluth breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the wall clock, and walked briskly back to the bedroom, locking the door.
A weekly tarot meeting is coming.
It wasn't long before the crimson light in front of her eyes poured out like water, drowning everything.
In the ancient and mysterious palace, Furth was about to look at Mr. "Fool" when he suddenly saw a figure beside him.
That position had been empty before!
The new member, a lady, "magician" Furth's eyes twitched slightly, and he half-turned his body in feigned disbelief.
There is a new member? or Madame...... Miss "Justice" was about to get up to greet Mr. "Fool", when she suddenly saw an unfamiliar figure.
Confused and expectant, she discovered that the women were on the same side and the men were on the other side.
This should be deliberately divided by Mr. "Fool", I don't know if there is a symbolic meaning in it...... Well, on the left is the lady, on the right is the male, not on the left and not on the right is the god Mr. "Fool" who cannot be defined by gender, ah yes, and Mr. "World...... Hehe, isn't he a man, not a woman, not even a man? Audrey, you think too much...... "Justice" stood up and saluted briskly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~"
