Chapter 817: The Church and the Abyss

The first time he participated in the so-called "Tarot Meeting", Leonard was very vigilant, and began to look at the surrounding members as soon as he came to the gray mist.

The most intuitive feeling is that the number of people is very small, except for Mr. "Fool" who is sitting at the top, there are only nine people in the whole party, and even including himself, the newcomer, and the seats in the hall are not even filled.

But considering that this is the legendary "Pre-God Council", it is normal for the number to be smaller, and everyone must have their own special identity and reason for joining the "Tarot Society".

Himself because of the parasitism of Paris, but what about the others?

While thinking to himself, Leonard suddenly noticed that Mr. "Fool" was looking at him, and took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Mr. Star."

Mr. "Star". Why does that sound weird? Leonard immediately got up and greeted Mr. "Fool" as if he were the others.

After the short greeting session, everyone was still secretly observing, and the new "star" Leonard was naturally the most observed person, but there were exceptions, such as Klein, who focused most of his attention on Louise.

He remembered very well that the reason why Leonard dared to take the risk of reciting the honorific name of "Fool" was precisely because he was seduced by Miss "Power". Although it is not appropriate to describe it as demagoguery, Klein feels that there must be a deeper reason for this.

Sure enough, Klein keenly noticed that most of the members of the "Tarot Club" were surprised and curious about the newcomer Leonard, but only Miss "Power" was very calm, as if she had already guessed that there would be a new member joining today?

Looks like you did the right thing to take over Leonard?

Soon, the "Hermit" Gadelia broke the silence on the gray fog with a voice, and she first glanced at Miss "Power" beside her, and then stood up and said respectfully:

"Mr. 'Fool', I found two pages of Russell's diary."

Well, Leonard was surprised for the first time when he heard the term "Russell's diary", but it didn't matter, the point was that Klein was also surprised, because the diary in Bernadette's hand was usually entrusted to Miss "Power", but this time it was suddenly mentioned by Ms. "Hermit", why is this?

Thinking that Bernadette has left Beckland, no longer gets along with Miss "Power", and even now that Russell's diary has been replaced, is there really a conflict between the two of them?

A little curious, but after a while, he found that no one had submitted a new Russell diary, so Crane had to gather his thoughts and take the two pages of the diary that the "hermit" lady had manifested in the palm of his hand.

Whether it's Miss "Power" or Bernadette, she can't afford to mess with herself, so she still doesn't know what to do!

Eyes fell on the first page of the diary, which reads:

"On May 18th, during this time, I always had nightmares, dreaming that I was wearing silver-gray ancient armor, sitting on the edge of a cliff, and in front of me was a quiet surge, and I couldn't see the black mist at the bottom, which was full of depravity and evil, just seeing it, it would be affected, and in the end, my face, which was monitoring the abyss, grew dark and complex patterns, my skin became hard, and there was a faint viscous liquid flowing on the surface, and my eyes completely lost their minds."

"This is a map of the abyss, a map of the abyss I saw and tried to enter last month!"

As mentioned in the previous diary, Russell once broke into the abyss when the sequence was not high, and it was his active risk-taking behavior, and sure enough, something went wrong.

In this regard, Klein secretly despised it in his heart, who made Russell too arrogant, does he understand the importance of prudence!

The diary did not write about Russell's follow-up solution, but it was not difficult to think of the Emperor's ability, and the abyss would most likely not be the cause of Russell's gradual madness.

Of course, this is just Klein's speculation, but his confidence is relatively sufficient, after all, the abyss is terrifying enough, but at least there are many extraordinary people in the "abyss" path, even they are alive and well, and Russell will definitely be able to avoid this negative impact, not to mention that the emperor has not explored the abyss too deeply.

After thinking about it, Klein flipped to the second page of the diary and continued reading.

"On the twelfth of October, an odd chapel was discovered, which may be related to the cult of the faith before the Quaternary."

"The church is located in a small town on a hill called Bemang, and the houses all have protruding domes, like wearing a white straw hat, which is very distinctive, and when you actually enter the church, you will find the difference."

"There was only one priest in the church, a gentle, restrained middle-aged man, dressed in a simple white robe, with a pale golden beard that almost covered the lower half of his face, and a pair of pale eyes as clear as a child's."

"He called it the temple of the Creator, and any creature of any race, a believer in any god, could enter."

"In front of the church, there is a simple shrine with a man carrying a cross inside, which is supposed to be the statue of the so-called creator."

This page of the diary seems to be just an observation, but Klein feels that it is not so simple, after all, as far as he knows, in addition to the Silver City in the Godforsaken Land, there is only one organization in the northern and southern continents combined, and that organization is called the "Dusk Hermit Society", and its leader is the son of the creator, the "fantasy angel" Adam.

In particular, Russell was a member of the "Society of Twilight Hermits", so it was interesting for him to find this church.

It's just not clear whether Russell joined the "Dusk Hermit Society" first, or did he discover this church first?

Or could it be that Russell's visit to the church where he believed in the Creator and the unknown priest was some kind of test for the new members of the "Dusk Hermit's Order"?

Well, Miss "Power" is also a member of the "Twilight Hermit Society", she should have more say in this, but it's a pity that Klein doesn't dare to ask, curiosity is one thing, and he doesn't have to know the truth, and he is not the reckless man of Russell.

So, after finishing thinking, Klein dissipated the diary in his hand, looked in the direction of the "hermit" lady and asked:

"What do you want in exchange?"

Gadelia actually has a lot of doubts in her heart, this is the first time she has obtained Russell's diary from Her Royal Highness the Queen, and it has to make people wonder if there is a disagreement between the queen and "power"?

Or maybe some joy? She couldn't say it clearly, in short, her mood was a little complicated, but Gadelia couldn't ask the queen or "power", so she could only temporarily suppress her emotions and solemnly replied:

"Dear Mr. 'Fool', I have a question I would like to ask, is the tomb of Russell the Great in the abyss?"
