120 Retreats
The vicinity of the shrine of the Goddess of the Night was as silent as the masked Alfreds had said, and there were several bronze floor lamps next to the shrine.
The slender candles seem to have only been replaced once, and the length left is long enough for them to burn until the onset of the next night.
Under the light of the candles, Alfred revealed his origin in a calm tone to the people he had only met for the first time.
The Destiny Order, founded by a nun whom Alfrede called Elsa the Prophet, is no longer known for its original purpose, and even its members, Alfred, know only that this organization has been silently guarding the peace of the continent of Lordit.
The name of the continent has been heard more than once.
Even when he first appeared in the Boulder Fortress, he was considered by many locals to be an adventurer who had crossed over from the continent of Roalit.
And according to the description in Alfred's mouth, the people quickly realized that the continent called Roalit seemed to be far more prosperous than this continent of ashes.
Because although the masked astrologer in front of him spoke in a very calm tone, whenever he talked about the continent of Roalit, he would unconsciously show a proud look that I had come from the city to the countryside.
Especially when the two big characters [proud] were on top of each other's heads, everyone almost couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, the topic of Alfred quickly shifted to the point of interest of the unfounded, Mr. Fool of the Rainbow Circus.
At this time, even Coussy, who had always wanted to do something secretly, widened her eyes and began to listen carefully, and the gossip information about Mr. Fool seemed to be equally important to her.
And after seeing Coussy's expression, he quickly got some new intelligence clues-
It seems that most of the members of the Rainbow Circus don't know Mr. Fool.
"Most of the members of our Destiny Hermitage possess the extraordinary powers of the Prophet and the Craftsman......"
Alfred, who didn't notice the small movements of Qiren and Kusi, was still in his own memories, and his words quickly reminded Qiren of Mr. Fool's transcendent tarot cards, so he blurted out:
"So...... The power controlled by Mr. Fool is also [Artisan]! ”
"That's right."
Alfred nodded, then turned to his little apprentice Ananta with a look of regret and added:
"Actually, that guy should be the most suitable master for your Anata, and I am really the master of Anata...... It's too reluctant—"
"Master! How can that kind of bastard become my master, only you can! ”
Ananta interrupted Alfred's words almost without thinking.
It's just that the people who looked at the subtle expressions of these two people felt ...... The relationship between the two of them doesn't seem quite right.
"No, Ananta - that guy is a bastard, but the [Craftsman] is not bad at all, and he has almost copied the cards of the Great Matar, and I can't help you at all in the teaching of supernatural powers...... Even occasionally relying on you......"
Alfred's words were soon interrupted again by his little apprentice—
"That's enough, I'm going to be angry Master if I say it again!"
Ananta mumbled an angry expression, and the masked man quickly said no more, a little sloppily.
At this time, Qi Ren even felt that the identities of the two sides seemed to be a little reversed.
However, Cusie didn't care about these small problems at all, and she interrupted the relationship between the master and apprentice with some impatience-
"Hmph, the great power of the Fool Leader is naturally beyond the reach of a guy like you."
Coussy's voice quickly caused everyone to look at her in unison.
But Cousie seemed to have gotten used to this kind of gaze during her long years of doing evil, so she glared back triumphantly not in the slightest shame.
"I've only heard of people who worship bad guys, but I didn't expect anyone to actually do that...... Is this what is called brainless powder? ”
Ananta seems to be very dissatisfied with the Fool, so she is also dissatisfied with Cusie, who praises the Fool.
"Ignorant fellow, sooner or later you will pay for this mouth of your own!"
Coussi wasn't to be outdone when it came to such a thing as a war of words.
"I can make you pay now-"
"Come on, you're afraid you won't make it!"
……
The two saw that the war was about to escalate, but fortunately, at this time, the people of Qiren and Alfred finally played their part and did not let the farce develop.
The masked astrologer succeeded in calming the little apprentice's agitation by simply touching his apprentice's head.
And the Qiren is more simple and rude to knock Cousie directly unconscious.
This made Anata, who was originally just a little restless, completely stunned-
"Wait, aren't you companions?"
"Who told you that? She's just a wanted person who happened to be caught by me......"
He clapped his palms casually, then turned to Alfred, who was also stunned, and said:
"Alright, now let's move on to what we just said, where did we come from?"
……
After such an interruption, the masked Mr. Astrologer soon lost his desire to tell the story, so he began to tell the story in an impassioned gesture -
"In order to make his own tarot card, Mr. Fool stole many holy relics that should have been sealed in the hermitage as materials, and any one of those holy relics will cause disaster in the world, we must stop him, otherwise the world will ......"
"How long have you been chasing that guy?"
He interrupted Alfred's speech mercilessly.
"Five years, seven months and twenty-eight days!"
Ananta pulled a pocket watch out of his pocket and quickly raised his hand to answer the question, but the next words made the little guy want to jump up and kick the knees.
Because the people complained mercilessly:
"Looks like your hunt is a bit bad......"
Without waiting for the master and apprentice to refute, Qi Ren continued to speak:
"I fought that Mr. Fool not too long ago, and he's now a demigod realm, so with all due respect—to hunt down that guy with your current strength is to give him a head."
Unaware that his complaining style had been influenced by the chattering angel Palus, he continued:
"What's more, when the sky falls, there will be tall people to stand up, and that's exactly what I'm here for, waiting for me to get in touch with the Brave Association here...... That Mr. Fool may soon be captured—"
"It can't be."
Alfred interrupted him with a convincing reply, and then he quickly added:
"Because that Mr. Fool won't be coming, according to the stars - that guy isn't even in the Ash Continent now......"
