Chapter 13: The Oracle

Compared to Justice and Little Sun, who were simply shocked by Yager's explanation, Alger, the hanged man, thought a little more.

For example, the fact that Mr. Fool did not dismiss the bishop when he heard him speak is in itself a sign that the bishop's words are highly credible.

In this case, he urgently needed to obtain this knowledge, because the God of Steam and Machines and the Lord of the Storm he believed in were both among the Seven Righteous Gods, and their states definitely overlapped.

He felt that he had touched the essence of the church.

The Hanged Man was not wrong, and although Klein's silence was also tinged with his shock, he did agree with the bishop's statement.

In the diary he had read, Roselle had mentioned the extraordinary changes that existed in the high-ranking powerhouses, and the extraordinary traits that he could pass on to his children in his later years. All of these represent changes in the life form of the Extraordinary as the sequence rises.

Based on this, Klein himself had long guessed about the origin of the gods.

"Yes." Under the expectant gaze of the hanged man, Yager agreed to the deal without hesitation.

Like Alger, Ager is in dire need of understanding the distribution of power and the logic of behavior in his own world, and it is perfectly acceptable for him to exchange some of his knowledge for small details.

And the oracle is definitely the information that he has no access to.

"Which part do you want to know?" He went through all the information he had gotten from staring at the god of steam and machines in his mind.

Mainly the potion recipe of the sequence as well as the real name.

Alger's hand hidden under the table clenched into a fist with joy, and his originally slightly hostile attitude had been subdued a lot: "Anything close to my intelligence value is fine." ”

For example...... What about the sequence to which the god of steam belongs? ”

He cautiously probed.

"Okay." After comparing the value of the information for a moment, Yager nodded.

From his point of view, it is not a loss.

At this time, Miss Audrey, who was next to her, suddenly interrupted slightly apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Hangman, can I pay money to observe?" ”

She doesn't have enough knowledge to exchange, but as one of Beckland's richest wild extraordinaires, she has another avenue to buy.

"I am willing to pay a thousand pounds each for each of these two messages, and an additional thousand pounds to Mr. Bishop, for the knowledge you have generously shared with the Tarot Society."

Her hands clenched nervously at each other, hoping that her money offensive would not be rejected.

She was completely overwhelmed.

Two thousand pounds? Two thousand pounds!

Miss Countess gives a critical hit of money to a netless tentacle monster.

With this huge sum of money, Yager will be able to escape from his current life with no savings and have more room to find the mysteries of his past.

For example, hire a fleet to go to sea to explore his homeland as a foreigner.

He replied categorically: "I don't have a problem." ”

On the other side, Alger, who needed funds to buy potion recipes, did not refuse: "Yes. ”

"Thank you very much!" Audrey clasped her hands together in surprise and made a crunch.

Alger paused for a moment and looked at Yager: "So, let's just make it public, right?" ”

It's too pitiful to shield the innocent little sun alone.

"Yes." Yager sat up straight.

"I'll start with that." The hanged man, who is more familiar with the notarization of fools, did not shirk again this time and went directly to the topic.

"Last Wednesday, the Lord of the Storm, the Goddess of the Night, and the God of Steam and Machines simultaneously sent down a secret oracle in Beckland."

The first sentence of the Hangman's message made Tarot fall silent again.

"Although the specific content of the three churches is slightly different, the target is the same."

"Find the shadow that lurks in Beckland, the absolute opposite of reason, the agent of the evil god walking in the world."

"Divine punishment will come upon Him."

Alger's tone was low, shaping the atmosphere of impending danger to the extreme.

It's definitely a big deal in Beckland.

For a while, Crane and Audrey, who were also in Beckland, were in a state of thought, and only the little sun was left on the long table of the Tarot Society, still looking left and right in a daze.

Of course, there's also a tentacle monster with an unknown personality.

Last week...... Three?

It seems that he is thinking, but in fact he is doubting that life is not good.

This timing is very coincidental, very coincidental, and even a little coincidental.

For example, some of the true gods looked at Him on this day.

As a "human" whose head can turn into tentacles, he has a very self-awareness of the public enemy of the church, and can take the initiative to sit down.

There is a 90% chance that this "agent of the evil gods" is himself.

Hiss......

Yager gasped.

"Is there any action the church will have this week?" Across the long table, Audrey, who had finished thinking, couldn't help but ask.

Alger shook his head, "I don't know. I've been at sea lately, and this news was informed to me by someone inside the church. ”

"But one thing is for sure, Cardinal of the Storm Church in Beckland," he couldn't help but glance at Yager, who had the same code name, "His Excellency Ace Snake, the 'Singer of God', will lead this operation. ”

"I see, thank you very much, Mr. Hangman." Audrey gripped the silver pendant on her chest, as if to draw some security.

When she was going back, she would ask her father about the church.

It's good, now one of the opponents is clear.

Yager next to her thought expressionlessly.

The Storm Church dispatched the archbishop, so there would not be much difference between the other two churches that received the oracle, and they should both dispatch their respective bishop-level combat power.

The next few weeks will be the hunt for him by the high-ranking powerhouses.

I don't know why, but instead of being scared, Yager felt a little excited.

He took a deep breath, holding back the strange emotion.

The form is no longer completely human, and the psyche can no longer be perverted.

"Your information is very useful, thank you very much, Mr. Hangman." After making sure that no one at the table was ready to talk, Yager opened his mouth to state his part of the transaction.

"The authority of the god of steam and machines is related to civilization, and the sequence 9 of the sequence is 'Knowledgeable', and when promoted, there is a tendency to continuously learn the knowledge developed by civilization."

Considering that the oracle mentioned by the Hanged Man was closely related to him, he included some details in his narration.

"Sequence 0 is 'The Perfecter.'"

The title of Sequence 0 makes Tarot quiet again.

When true gods are also part of promotion, their ethereal aura of gods is no longer intimidating.

Alger nodded, silently digesting the conversation.

Compared to the name of Sequence 0, Mr. Bishop's interpretation of the god of steam seems to be more helpful.

Does the tendency to keep learning when promoting means that learning itself can help the advancement of those who are extraordinary in that sequence?

He recalled the thick bookish aura of the mechanical heart members and rubbed his chin a few times.

Except for the hanging man, the most troubled person in the Tarot Society is Mr. Fool on the high platform.

Klein pupil earthquake.

Knowledgeable, this is the sequence where Roselle the Great is!

No matter how many titles the Emperor had in his later years, the 'Perfect' was not one of them. Roselle is more famous for his laws and institutions than for his knowledge.

Could it be that Roussel the Great also changed the sequence, as he mentioned in his diary?

But why is that?

Connected to the unrepeatable authority of the true gods, Crane felt like he saw the truth of the horror.
