886

The first tarot meeting after Mr. Fool's return ended in an unexpected and very heavy atmosphere.

The consciousness of the people returns to reality.

In the captain's room of the Future, Gadelia pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and pondered the question of faith. It occurred to her that the Mystery God was also hostile to the Church of the Creator next door in the teachings of the Church of Mysteries and to the ascetic angels who had been met by the gods, but He did not restrict the exchange of information and knowledge between the churches, so that many people were unaware of it.

In the process, she strolls to the window and sees Frank Lee selling his non-alcoholic volcanic beer made from undersea microbes to the crew.

It's really actionable...... Gadelia just sighed, and suddenly frowned.

"At the Tarot meeting just now, Mr. 'Fool' said that 'Cultivator' and 'Moon' are two special paths, coming from the starry sky, which are easily polluted, and I don't know if it's true or false when I hear it."

"Frank is the extraordinary man of the "cultivator" pathway......"

"Moreover, he had complained that the Earth Church had failed to understand the true will of the Merciful Mother......" Gardelia's eyes narrowed slightly under the heavy lenses.

After staring at the deck below for a while, Gardelia left the captain's room and walked to the entrance of the cabin, where she waited for Frank Lee, who came in with a bucket of non-alcoholic beer.

"Captain, would you like a drink?" Frank lifted the keg of beer with one hand.

Gadelia shook her head firmly, and asked as if chattering:

"Is this the will of a benevolent mother again?"

"Nope." Frank said quite seriously, "I just think that drinking spirits with modified sedatives for a long time is still a bit bad for the body, and I hope they can accept this kind of drink that tastes alcoholic, but there is no actual alcohol, of course, this is only a preliminary result, and it does not involve spirits, after all, it cannot use distillation to enhance the taste." ”

"Well, some of the inspiration was given to me by Silver City, they live in dangerous and resource-poor areas all year round, they can't drink, they have to be rational all the time, and they don't have food to make wine, I thought, maybe they'll be willing to try the occasional indulgence?"

Gadelia didn't know what to do next, she always felt that Frank seemed to be smart, and maybe he had learned more after discovering that he had a high reputation in Silver City and Moon City—to use his voice that he didn't know where to learn it, "cheating on research funds and project approvals".

She pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and was silent for two seconds before she said, "Then have you ever heard the voice of a kind mother, and received divine enlightenment?" ”

"Nope." Frank shook his head unconcernedly.

Call...... Gardelia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, Frank casually added:

"In fact, the will of a benevolent mother can be felt in the ears of wheat, in the milk production of cows, in the growth of mushrooms, in every corner of nature, in every thing."

Gadelia's gaze instantly fell into Frank's eyes, and there was no madness in them, only purity.

She didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and walked forward, past Frank Lee, to the deck.

After intently gazing at the sea for several minutes, Gardelia returned to the captain's quarters.

She sat down and roughly estimated the itinerary, in a few hours, the "Future" will enter the exclusive port of the church in the sea, and after handing over the personnel of the port, her mission this time will be completed.

When Gadelia got the task of picking up the people in the Eastern Continent, she was preparing a paper related to ritual magic, but the materials and equipment were not ready, and she suddenly had to go to sea. But it just so happened that another project team related to the voyage ship in the church felt that this was an opportunity to test the new power system developed by the way, so as not to delay the time to apply to the church for testing.

Of course, Gadelia herself would not refuse the opportunity to change equipment, so in order to get the "catch-up" of the gods on Sunday, the craftsmen with an average sleep time of 4 hours were stunned to upgrade the "Future" as a whole in a short time before departure.

This is the result of various "high-tech" inventions that amaze Silver City, the "Hanging Man" and the "Sun".

The improved power system performed well in the first sea trial, not only was it stable and efficient, but it also cut the sailing time in half, and at the speed of the church, if it was successfully approved and put into production, it would be the country with the most advanced navigation technology again, as it was more than 200 years ago...... Although it is not as powerful as the God of Thunder, it is a technique that ordinary people can master through learning.

Gardelia is proud and proud, and she feels that knowledge is power.

"And Frank's thing......"

The information she had received from the tarot meeting had not yet been made public in the church, so Gardelia thought about it, but cautiously closed the door to the captain's room, held a prayer ceremony with the existing ritual materials, and decided to inform the "fool" about Frank's matter.

Considering that both the "World" and the "Hanged Man" had seen their crew, and that the "World" had cooperated with the supplies of the Forsaken Lands, Gadelia assumed that the "Fool" also knew Frank Lee's basic information, so she simply said:

"My crew, Frank Lee, recently became a 'druid' in Cultivator Pathway Sequence 5...... He claimed not to have received divine revelation, but believed that the will of a benevolent mother was hidden in every part of nature. ”

Since it was Mr. "Fool" who told him this information, Gadelia believed that it only took such a sentence to make the other party understand what he wanted to say.

"When you return home, should you go to church and look for information about the 'moon'? …… Anyway, what can be found in the church is safe and well known, and the real secrets can only be accessed after I become an angel, but that is too far away......"

Gardelia silently sat down in her place, waiting for the Future to enter the sea from the strait.

……

Emlyn woke up in a small room in the Harvest Chapel, and after a few seconds in bed, he keenly heard voices outside.

Not inside the church, but outside, it seems that someone is arguing, someone is fighting.

What's going on...... Although the noise did not come from the church, Emlyn frowned, sat up from his bed and walked to the door, listened carefully to the movement inside the church, and then pushed the door open and entered the hallway.

All of a sudden, Emlyn smelled human blood.

"Someone hurt? No, no one is stupid enough to make trouble around churches with demigods and extraordinary, and injured people come to my church? ”

The Bloods are not very territorial, but the Harvest Church has a different meaning to Emlyn, in a sense, he has divided the rebuilt place into his own territory.

Emlyn frowned, quickened her steps, and immediately entered the main hall from the back of the church.

His eyes widened at the sight of the situation in the hall of the church.

I saw that there were many wounded people lying in the open space and prayer benches of the Harvest Church, and there were obvious sharp blade marks and even gunshot wounds on the shoulders of some people, and the smell of blood he smelled came from this. At the same time, his assistant was already so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, constantly changing the dressing for this one, bandaging the other, and taking some time out of his busy schedule to boil the medicine for soothing recovery.

"What's going on around here?"

Emlyn suddenly realized something, walked quickly to his assistant's side, and took the spoon in his hand.

"Bishop, during your nap time, there was a big brawl in the East End."

It was a cold December, but it was warm because there were too many people in the Harvest Church, and the assistant wiped the sweat from his head and whispered, "I heard that someone has attacked the police...... I don't know exactly what happened, but anyway, the injured Fenerport people came to the Harvest Church for help, so I let them rest. ”

The assistant was also a native of Fenerport, and the family had always been a believer in Mother Earth.

Seeing that the situation in the church was still stable, and everyone was only talking or resting in small voices, Emlyn's heart calmed down a little, and after complimenting his assistant a few words, he looked at the prayer bench. In addition to the seated wounded, there were several Runnes who appeared to have come to pray—the inhabitants of both countries were easily recognizable by their clothing and appearance—who sat awkwardly next to each other at the other end of the bench, and would immediately look away at the slightest sight of the Fenerport, the latter, both with varying degrees of disgust and impatience on their faces.

"You're doing the right thing."

Emlyn's gaze lingered on Rune's followers for a moment, and then he whispered to his assistant:

"I'll leave it to you first, and I'll go out."

The assistant nodded: "Okay." ”

……

Above the gray fog, only the "fool" and the "world" are far away.

Crane sighed a little tiredly, swapping places with the "world" to make sure that when he turned back and took in the performance of "Utopia," the person who prayed to him would still see a more normal image of the deity.

- Long before he became a "miracle master", when the "Giant Court" was forced to face God, he had already let go of the spirit of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" more than once, trying to take the initiative to awaken the other party.

It is estimated that his own behavior, which is almost rushing to the same end, has also greatly accelerated the awakening of the Lord of Mystery, and Antigonus's desperate gamble has completely awakened the other party...... And this series of dangerous behaviors has also led to the transformation of their mythical creatures. His form of Sequence 3 should have been incomplete at the time, but it had been almost completely presented, and the imprint of the body surface information that would only appear in Sequence 2.

Now that I'm an angel, if I'm too immersed in a "massively multiplayer theater" and accidentally reveal a mythical creature, the person who prays to me may actually see a message that shouldn't be seen......

Klein is sad about the departure of "Justice" Audrey, but just like his own decision, he will not interfere with the other party's choice.

He calmed down, put the matter behind him for the time being, and was about to close his eyes and enter the state, when suddenly a prayer sounded in his ears.

As soon as the tarot meeting was over, the "hermit" lady prayed to me...... What can be the matter? The "Hermit" lady has already left the island where the people of Silver City temporarily lived, could it be...... Crane pressed his eyebrows, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Klein accepted the prayer, saw the other party's figure and the captain's room, and quickly listened to the other party's succinct report.

This...... Crane's brow furrowed slightly.

Perhaps because Frank is usually dangerous and "crazy" enough, he has ignored the possibility that this "druid" was affected by the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

"However, Frank's products are still mild and benign, and the starting point is good...... Otherwise, the Demon of Knowledge would have reacted before me, after all, the entire Future is now affiliated with the Church of Mysteries......"

Frank was once brought to trial by the Earth Church for his forbidden experiments with crossbreeding wheat and cows, and was later wanted...... Speaking of which, the Mother Earth Church itself also studies androids, and the androids of that school of life have a good impression of Frank.

It is basically proof that Frank should treat most of life equally...... If the "Mother Earth Goddess" has not been eroded, and the Earth Church is still functioning relatively normally, then it means that they think Frank is in trouble...... However, if the evidence is conclusive, Frank who went to court should have no chance of surviving...... Crane's mind raced, trying to figure out clues based on what he knew about Frank.

"There is no problem with the relevant movements, the posture of prayer is different from the usual gesture of praise, just like when the extraordinary person of the Church of the Night prays, he does not draw stars clockwise on his chest, at most as a finishing touch......"

"Except for this little problem, Frank has problems everywhere, it's like a child raised by the 'fallen mother goddess'......"

"But this matter really has nothing to do with me, Frank's creations should be submitted to the Church of Mysteries for evaluation and testing, and then they will be allowed to be put into production and record patents, and the Demon of Knowledge has released Mr. Bethel back, if the 'Fallen Mother God' chooses an influence between me and him, it must be the Demon of Knowledge first...... But I can remind Him that there is cooperation, after all. ”

One thought flashed through him, and Klein had two contradictory guesses:

Either Frank's contamination is so hidden that the Inquisition of the Earth Church can't be sure, or he is not affected by the "Fallen Mother God" at all, and is purely in his own ...... It's purely his own imagination and creativity, so strong that he looks like a favored person of the evil gods.

Regardless of which speculation it is, Klein believes that the subsequent development is not too good.

But in reality, everyone in these two paths can be watched by the "fallen mother goddess", and the church is no exception, especially this extraordinary person with special talents and expulsion from the Orthodox Church, which is simply an excellent choice for the temptation of evil gods.

Regardless of whether Frank had problems before or not, it is likely that he has entered the sight of the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

That's not a good thing.

"Of course, it can't be ruled out that Frank is too crazy and causes the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' to take his own initiative away......" Crane muttered bitterly.

It's almost impossible, and the horror and power of the outer gods are by no means understandable to demigods.

"The mushrooms that Frank has invented so far shouldn't be a big deal, I've taken them all to the gray mist and processed them...... Moreover, the inhabitants of Silver City and Moon City did not show any anomalies, well, after leaving the God's Forsaken Lands, they had given up cultivating mushrooms due to the lack of monster corpses and the abundance of food...... Intensify monitoring! Klein was a little uneasy to think about.

Compared with the flamboyant and wanton "Mother Tree of Desire", the terrifying degree of the "Fallen Mother Goddess", which has always been extremely low-key, is simply more than one level higher!

Both Mister "The Gate" and Emperor Rousaille were silently corrupted by Him.

"It's worthy of losing two extraordinary paths and an essentia that can stand on top of the outer gods......" Crane sighed secretly, giving Gadelia a simple reply that she didn't have to worry about and reported to the Church of Mysteries if something was abnormal.

Later, after confirming that Ulorius was not continuing to report Utopia, Crane took a brief look at Utopia and found that the other party was staying peacefully in the small house hidden in the city, resting or praying under the sign of an inverted cross.

It feels like a hidden side quest NPC...... Klein came up with such an idea for no reason.

He stopped thinking nonsense, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a light sleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Dr. Allen looked at his little son, who was crying in his wife's arms, and looked at the maid who was in charge of the child's care with a somewhat complicated expression.

"I remember Will wasn't usually like that."

"The little master is usually very well-behaved." The maid's expression also looked helpless, "Maybe the little master doesn't want to leave the house?" Young children have a stress response to leaving their familiar surroundings. ”

"I'm going to leave for five days, and I don't feel comfortable taking Will with me."

Alan looked at the ticket in his hand and joined the army of coaxing children. While making a grimace on the child, he took out the child's favorite little toy, and tried his best to coax the little son who cried as soon as he went out.

Eventually, thanks to their efforts, Will cried and fell asleep on Verma's shoulder. Seeing this, Dr. Allen and his wife quickly boarded the carriage that was already waiting in the street, and got into the train to Diece Bay in the last five minutes.

——————

Something is coming late.

I didn't actually think about who won, because they are not very important side quests, and whoever wins has no effect on the outcome. But I've thought about it now, and considering that in the original work it was possible for Will to win, then I'll give Ulorius a chance in the fandom.

Okay, so let's collect ideas for everyone's destiny path to the god ceremony. (I haven't really thought about it yet (end of chapter)
