Chapter 527: An Attempt
821
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"I'm back."
In the midst of a majestic kingdom of gods beyond human imagination, the gods above the gray mist look down on everything below.
He saw the familiar faces he hadn't seen in a long time, and looked at the different expressions of shock and surprise on their faces. And under the gaze of the tall and great being, everyone in the Tarot Society lowered their heads one after another.
It had been a long time since the previous unforeseen separation, and the "Fool" remained silent, spending some time for him to look at the members of his party one by one, and to his satisfaction and relief to find that they were all familiar to him.
Except that when his gaze crossed the endless void and collided with Hugh's gaze, which was wrapped in a blanket and curled up in a seat, he stayed a little longer, making the latter uneasy to wrap himself in the blanket, but not daring to act rashly under the gaze of the gods.
Seeing this, the corners of the mouth on the blurred face of the "fool" were slightly raised, revealing a smile that everyone was most familiar with.
"I've returned and will resume presiding."
"Wait for my news."
……
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much, Miss Audrey......"
The woman holding her husband who had come back from the dead kept nodding and bowing to Audrey, her face stained by muddy water was covered with tears, and she was still half-lying on the ground weakly, and the young man who had just regained consciousness also looked at Audrey with grateful eyes, speechless.
"You're welcome, he didn't die in the first place, I just woke him up again."
"Without your assisted breathing, his life could still be lost at any time, and you brought him back."
After rescuing the last drowning man, Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped the sweat oozing from the intersection and tension on her forehead with the back of her hand, and smiled humbly and gently.
In addition to her proficient CPR skills, the biggest difference between Audrey and other doctors is her ability to reach into the hearts and minds of others. While using medical technology to save people, she will also try to weave dreams for the other person, calm the emotions, or help the other person reorganize the chaotic subconscious state, so as to reawaken the person's consciousness. This is also the reason why Letty Orr is able to treat many different mental illnesses as a psychiatrist, and can even educate children, wake up vegetative people, and cure madmen.
The young lady of the Southern Continent thanked her and then helped her husband to leave, and Audrey, thinking about the reunion of Mr. Fool and Tarot, walked over to the wooden boxes stacked on the edge of the makeshift medical camp, wanting to sit down and rest for a while.
But when she saw the dirty water marks and mud and sand on the wooden box, Audrey, who still loves cleanliness in her bones, still sighed and chose to stand and rest.
"Mr. 'Fool' is back......"
Obviously, there was no difference for long, and the tarot meeting was only suspended for two or three months, but Audrey felt like a world away.
At that time, she was still at the bronze table, fantasizing about the outside world expectantly, and she was unwilling to leave her family, so she could only imagine and realize her little dream by doing some good deeds. But then, she met Mr. Richard on the day of the "Beckland Disaster Day", and immediately after that, she was given the identity of "Letty Orr" and had a dreamlike life.
Audrey didn't say whether the dream was a sweet dream or a nightmare, but the dream helped her see herself and the world clearly.
The return of the Tarot Society seemed to be an opportunity for her to re-examine her past self.
Audrey thinks that she has experienced many, many things, she has received far more and more sincere praise than she did when she was in Rune, she has received flowers from barefoot children, she has received hand-woven handkerchiefs from women, she has received Southern Continent specialties from patients, she has seen many things that are worth sharing with her companions at the pre-divine meeting, but at the same time, this land is not beautiful, she has also seen too many horrible, bloody, vile and even disgusting things, these things are anti-sharing, can only be pressed on their own psychology and silently adjusted.
"Overall, I have a lot of good things to tell everyone......"
Audrey wished that her mood would not continue to be so depressed and dreary, so she allowed herself to become excited:
"If I tell them that I became a doctor in the Southern Continent, became a demigod, and treated many extraordinary people and even provided psychological guidance to demigods in Sequence 5, everyone would definitely let out a cry of amazement!"
Her thoughts raced for a moment, and then she noticed a strange man in a simple cloth robe—a man who had his head and face tightly obscured, hurrying by, with a body somewhat like the "bound god" Tolzner she was familiar with.
"What is he doing here?"
Audrey couldn't help but muttered to herself.
Just now, a man walked up to her with a suitcase, threw a bunch of things directly on the ground, and replied casually:
"He thought he was dead just now, and pulled Richard to say a lot of heart-wrenching words, and finally said that he wanted Richard to accommodate his extraordinary characteristics and then go to protect the high ground instead of him, Richard told him not to say it, and as a result, he almost entered a state of indulgence, and pulled Richard from Renette to Siea and finally began to cry about the high ground and many disasters, crying and crying, the people of the Thunder Church evacuated, he is not dead now, very embarrassing."
"...... that's right."
Some are alive, but socially dead...... Audrey felt embarrassed to the point that her scalp tingled when she substituted herself a little, and looked at the back of the bound god who wrapped herself in a skin that didn't even show a piece of skin, and there was a trace of sympathy in her eyes.
"I'm going back to Intis soon."
Trainor didn't know where to get his cat out of nowhere, and slowly smoothed the hair.
"I have to go back and thank my father, thank you...... Thank you for his willingness to let me out, even though I didn't help much. ”
He tossed a large, new, dry wooden box at Audrey's feet, and then sat down on top of another wooden box himself, staring at the campfire and the figures passing by in the makeshift medical camp.
"I don't know what this place was supposed to look like...... But so many people died in the blink of an eye, and it felt like all Richard's efforts this year had been in vain, and the highlands still needed to use the Transfiguration Curse to govern the country in a short period of time. ”
"I'm going to go back to Intis and try to get over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the families in charge of diplomacy have given me several invitations to the ball, so I can choose one to contact first, depending on the situation...... Equal international interaction and the first country to recognize Him should be more difficult for the Highlands, but now that the national parliament is in name only, I hope the Church of the Mysterious God doesn't mind......"
After talking to himself and touching the cat to a drowsy touch, Trainor looked at Audrey:
"Did you just join? Would you like to come back with me later? The audience doesn't seem to have the skills to travel through the spiritual realm, and Richard must have to be busy. ”
Now in this situation, it is really not good to trouble Mr. Richard, Audrey nodded:
"Will hunters have spirit-related skills in the demigod stage?"
"Nope."
Trainor dragged the cat's two front legs to pull it up from her own and pull it into a long strip:
"But it has."
Audrey and the awakened cat looked at each other, and after a moment, she smiled awkwardly but politely.
……
"Old man, what's going on?"
Leonard was a little confused, so he stopped his aimless walk in the woods, sat down on a gentle stone in the woods at the foot of the Honaches Mountains, and whispered to Pales, "Didn't you say that the 'Fool' was ......?" ”
After "coming back from the dead" through the doppelganger, Pallis seemed to be stimulated just now, and babbled a lot about the safety of their time to Leonard. Therefore, Leonard gradually recognized the acquaintances of Pales, who was still a young man at the time:
The one who behaved strangely and dressed like the top nobleman of the Fourth Age was the legendary Mr. "Gate", the root of the "Full Moon Whisper", the ancestor of Abraham, Bethel Abraham.
And Pales had always believed that the "Fool" was a "half-Fool", that is, Antigonus, and Leonard's friend "Klein Moretti" was influenced by the "Antigonus Family Notes" that was exiled by Ince Zangwill, and established a connection, so that he would become a "soothsayer", and became his messenger and confidant as "Gelman Sparrow".
"Old man, you said before that the 'Fool' might have lost to Amon, so you withdrew from the Source Fort to terminate the meeting, and just now you said that the 'Fool' left the Hornachis Mountains and went to the Spirit Realm to fight with other beings, and now the 'Fool' has returned, do you know what happened?"
Leonard asked in a whisper.
Since Klein was the only survivor of the student trio who came into contact with the Antigonus family notes, and successfully controlled the seal 2-049 Antigonus puppet, combined with his subsequent rapid promotion, and his fit with the "soothsayer", so much so that Pales and Leonard once suspected that the Moretti family might also be descendants of the Antigonus family. After giving Klein a revelation, the Note kills Rare Bieber as a cover for the true descendant. He can also communicate with puppets, and the puppets don't hurt him, and he doesn't use the puppets to hurt them.
But this speculation was merely speculation, because His divination did not yield any results.
As for Daun Dantès, Pales had known too many demigods before, and the other party had used a false identity to seek revenge but was also involved with the Night Church, so he did not confront him with a demigod of the Antigonus family.
This fourth-age nobleman sleeps on the top of the Hornachis Mountains, so the previous Bethel casual loss will make them unexpectedly appear here.
- However, judging by Antigonus's performance, it seems impossible for the other party to act as a "fool".
His consciousness has not awakened at all, and he has even become even more crazy, how can he hold meetings, communicate and trade?
So who exactly is the "fool"?
Parles had to revisit the option he had previously chosen to ignore—was it really the "mysterious waiter" who had been missing, out of all history, and never been found?
If so, then why has He never had any stories and rumors? Where are the miracles and traces of the secret puppet town that he left behind?
Eastern Continent? But the "God of Wishes" is there, and the "God of Wishes" is still alive!
If so, is it a promotion, or is it a living trait of the "Mystic Acolyte" potion, or is it ......
Pales didn't think about these things, because he had completely withdrawn from the high-order competition of the Lord of Mysteries, and it could even be said that he was not competitive in the first place, and the former Seven Gods would not treat him, a loyal allegiance of the Solomon Empire.
Pales didn't tell Leonard about these things, who always thought that Crane was working for "half a fool." Because judging from the situation of this kid worrying about his friend, he originally thought that it was already very dangerous for the other party to work under the hands of a quaternary with no unknown history, and if the "fool" was not Antigonus now, and completely became an unidentified evil god, then Leonard would probably have to worry for a while.
Parles was silent for a long time, and finally whispered:
"I don't know either."
Seeing that the old man, who had always been able to strategize because of his qualifications and knowledge, was now at a loss, Leonard first felt novel, and then unsurprisingly worried.
"Then, old man, do you think it is possible that the current 'fool' is pretending to be Amon?"
Hearing this question, Parles uncharacteristically did not start sneering directly, but threw the question back: "What do you think? ”
"I don't think it could be Amon."
Leonard, who was asked rhetorically, was not surprised, and said his guess with a frown:
"While Amon has every reason to do this, if Amon wants to trick us by forging a meeting and pretending to be a 'fool', then he can do so when he first gets the Source Fort. It's been so long that there's no point in doing that now. And the rest of the members won't have enough changes in such a short period of time to get Him interested, unless something special happens. ”
"According to what you said earlier, Amon should be preparing to steal someone's rite of enlightenment now, instead of playing with us ants."
"But if something really happens, you'll tell me, and we're obviously not going to have anything to do with any of the godhood rituals."
Parles nodded slightly with a non-existent body:
"It's not bad, it's all to the point."
"So what do you suggest?"
"I suggest you ...... If the 'fool' gives another notice of the meeting, you participate, naturally. "Maybe he is the real 'Fool,' though I don't know how he drove out Amun...... who held the Source Fort."
Don't...... Is it really the "Master of Mystery"?
If it is really the "Lord of Mysteries", then what kind of purpose does he have in reopening the Tarot Society......
Due to the lack of intelligence, Leonard did not have Pales's worries, and he also felt that he should participate in the restarted Tarot Society, after all, he was now curious to know the safety of the others, as well as Klein Moretti.
The River and Sea Church that sheltered him was destroyed, and the Night Church didn't seem to have a strong desire to go back, as if he just had to watch everyone live from afar. Leonard frowned, he always felt that his connection to the world was broken one by one. Not to mention the stable interpersonal relationships that have always been by his side, it seems that only Pales Soroyaster and Klein are left.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Fool, but you must be okay, Klein......"

——————
After announcing the resumption of meetings, Crane sighed as he looked around at the interior of Fort Source, which had become exactly the same as before.
"Something is wrong with Hugh...... There is a strong 'distortion' in her body, her fate, consciousness and consciousness seem to be distorted, and I can see accurately with the source fort, and the one who can do this degree of distortion should indeed be George III......"
He was plotting His resurrection, but he didn't know exactly what He was going to do...... The god of thunder had broken him apart during the godhood ceremony and crushed him in the grave, it was really strange that he had suddenly turned his face on the god of thunder at the coronation ceremony before, and now that I think about it, there must have been something that happened to George III that I don't know, otherwise he would not have made such an irrational move. ”
"I don't know if this dangerous person can be used, but it's better not to, maybe he's gone crazy after being locked up in the grave for so long."
Crane stretched out his hand as he quickly rolled over the things related to George III in his mind, and countless crimson illusory stars in the sky began to expand and contract, revealing one picture after another.
Immediately afterward, Klein chose one of them.
He reached out and tapped it in the air, and the corresponding red star suddenly opened, and a phanteur fell from it, appearing in an empty high-backed chair beside Crane.
Above the high-backed chairs, a gray mist fills the air, slowly forming a sign of a "soothsayer" pathway.
The man was a human-like creature, with a young face and an ancient and mysterious aura. His face was covered with thick black hair, and he was dressed in the garb of a fourth-age nobleman, and his eyes were closed at the moment, and his head was slightly bowed, as if he was still sleeping.
After a few seconds, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then slowly opened.
Antigonus's face was a mixture of pain and struggle, and he stared blankly at the pattern of the long bronze table in front of him for a moment, then looked around, and finally his eyes suddenly locked on the mysterious humanoid being sitting at the top, shrouded in gray mist.
Antigonus's face changed, and fear and awe instantly appeared in the depths of his dark eyes.
He subconsciously tensed up to get up, and he wanted to flee from here immediately—though he didn't know where to flee—and then he realized that he was a star spirit, no longer in the form of an eight-legged wolf.
The most important thing is that He is not in a state of madness right now!
The back of Antigonus' tense hand calmed down for a moment, and he sat up straight, staring at the mysterious man who was sitting in silence.
"You're the Master of Mysteries?"
"What is your purpose, why did you bring me here, why didn't you just gather me?"
Klein smiled and said with ease:
"It's an attempt." (End of chapter)
