Chapter 18: Fishing for Foolishness

The tiny words hidden in Audrey's fair skin twisted and faded away until there was no trace of them. But she seemed to be oblivious, and looked at the fool with innocent and inquisitive eyes.

Klein stared at the painting and remained silent for a long time. He opened his mouth, but he didn't say what he wanted to say. His eyes were complicated, and he had been here for a while, and he was almost getting used to the red moon here. The "bright moon" that appeared in front of him at this time awakened his homesickness and made him fall silent for a while.

Klein stared at the painting in Audrey's hand, but Audrey and Alger thought that the great master of the gray mist was watching the two of them, and they didn't dare to breathe. It took a long time for Klein to come back to his senses, he looked at the two who were nervous, and was stunned for a moment, realizing that the two had misunderstood what he meant. He leaned back gently, made a relaxed gesture, and said indifferently:

"That's not something you should know."

"I'm sorry, but I trespassed." Audrey bowed her head and whispered, apologizing to the mysterious "fool". But at this moment, she heard the fool who lived behind the gray mist say in an indifferent voice: "However, this painter is indeed a good talent, and with his own intuition he can draw the 'most harmonious' color of the moon. ”

Please, Miss "Justice"! You must be able to hear the subtext of my words! At least tell me if the person who painted this picture is my fellow countryman...... Crane prayed in his heart, waiting for Audrey's answer. It is not a loss that Audrey was born in an aristocratic family, she looked at the fool staring at her in a daze, and quickly reacted, realized the hidden meaning of Klein's words, and bowed slightly:

"The painter's name was Gaudi Abraham, a nobleman of Beckland. Forehead...... The formula for the 'actor' potion I mentioned earlier also flowed out of his hands. ”

Really...... Crane's pupils constricted slightly. Being able to join the Aurora Society, it seems that Gao Wei has at least two low-order potions in his hands, no, even more...... After all, he was a nobleman when he crossed over, and the conditions on my side cannot be compared......

Damn it! Why is Russell the emperor, and Gao Wei is also a nobleman, even if he is the real creator, he also runs the Aurora Society...... Why am I the poorest? Klein thought indignantly.

After a few more small talks, Audrey gave "no recite my name without my permission" to Audrey, who asked "if you can increase the number of members of the party." This sentence was used as an answer, and Klein, who had successfully pretended to be a wave, ended the party with satisfaction - this gathering gained a lot, knowing part of Gao Wei's information, and also prostituting Alger's knowledge in vain.

After this tarot meeting ended, looking at the empty hall, Crane sat silently on his throne. The seemingly eternal gray fog surrounded him, but it did not bring psychological comfort to Klein, on the contrary, the gray fog made the place even more lonely. Crane took out the note that Gao Wei had left him earlier, skimmed over the true Creator, and was about to recite the second honorific name on it, clearing his throat, but his voice stopped abruptly.

He wondered, could Gao Wei, who could draw the view of the earth, be his enemy? Does the kindness of the real creator come at a price, is Gao Wei disguised with the "golden finger" like himself, or is there really an unknown god behind it? Is he as friendly as he appears, or has it been a subtle disguise so far?

Klein knew that his best choice at the moment was to ignore Gao Wei and refrain from reciting unknown honorific names. This way you can prioritize your own safety. But not to mention that Gao Wei has already established contact with his own family, and if he angers Gao Wei, Klein is not sure if he will attack Benson and Melissa; The sincerity he had shown before, and the loneliness of the prodigal son of the earth that he had revealed in this painting, was enough to shake his intellect and make him inclined to believe in Gao Wei.

After much hesitation, Crane took a pendulum from his bosom and recited a few words in silence, trying to predict the consequences of his recitation of the honorific name. When he opened his eyes and saw that the pendulum was "a little dangerous, but very little dangerous", he was a little relieved, closed his eyes, and began to recite the honorific name:

"Extraterritorial eyes, silent throats; the creator of the hollow shell; You are the final curtain on the outliers. ”

Klein thought so: if the existence corresponding to this honorable name is really hostile, then this gray fog may be able to help him block it!

In the Forsaken Lands, the high-dimensional lookdown opened his eyes and smiled. The True Creator and the Goddess of the Night watched Him, as if watching His every move.

"Don't forget your promise, High Dimensional Seeker." The True Creator said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured...... Don't you feel at ease about who I am? The incarnation of the High-Dimensional Lookdown said, "I'll help you solve your problem of lack of anchors, the separation of divinity and humanity, and your madness." ”

"Don't play dumb." The darkness around the True Creator fluctuated for a moment, and seemed to turn into an invisible barrier: "If you want to destroy the chance for the Lord of Mystery to appear, the pollution you have left on Earth will never be able to leave the Godforsaken Land." I know that even in the old days, it was not easy to pollute essentia. If you really break the contract, at that time, Amanisis will do whatever it takes to awaken Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun through Antigoneus. ”

"Even if it comes at the cost of never being able to get out of madness again?" The high-dimensional overlooking person raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." The True Creator solemnly said, "I will not believe in the outer gods, even if you may have been human inside; I will not betray the earth, even if I have been eaten by the gods. ”

The goddess of the night stood beside the true Creator without saying a word, but her movements proved that she was just as determined: stars emerged from the darkness around her, seemingly blocking all spirituality around her.

The high-dimensional lookdown laughed, and he was pleased, as if he had seen something interesting. He carefully looked at the real Creator in front of him, and a sneer rippled across his face:

"Yes, I promise your conditions. But don't let me down, true creator, Amanis, both of you. Since you have such a great determination, then, in exchange, you should not interfere with my actions against the Lord of Storms in the realm of Rune. ”

The Goddess of the Night nodded slightly, indicating that she had agreed to Gao Wei's request. After reaching an initial cooperation, the avatar of the High-Dimensional Seeker burst violently, revealing his spirituality to the outside world. And there was a new spiritual surge in the shell he had left behind, as if it was giving birth to a life ready to break out of its shell.

"I'll go first, Creator." Amanisis bowed slightly, "I've been away for too long, and the Lord of the Storm will be upset; If He knew that I had come to you, there was a good chance that the combination of wisdom and the sun would destroy our plans. ”

With that, the figure of Amanisis disappeared into the darkness. Watching the goddess of the night fade away, the True Creator sighed and continued to stare at the body left behind by the high-dimensional overlookerβ€”or rather surveillance. He knew that when this operation was over, some non-serious, "humane" god would continue to appear by His side and continue to be a human being.

The premise, of course, is that the Higher Seekers are sincere in cooperating with them.

Viscount Glerint finished concocting the potion in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the beautiful bottle of potion, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated: the bottle of potion had a sweet aroma, and countless points of light floated in the pale blue liquid. These points of light refract the sunlight under the illumination of the sunlight and emerge into a variety of colors. When he brought the potion into the dark chamber, these points of light emitted strange light, as if they formed a transformed starry sky in the potion.

Glerint brought the bottle to his lips and drank the potion in one gulp. He felt a sense of fullness that he had never felt before. As the potion power was absorbed, Gleilynt gradually fell asleep. In his long dream, he felt the comfort he had not felt for a long time, as if he had entered the kingdom of the goddess of the night, calm and peaceful.

He opened his eyes and saw shadowy phantoms. Wrapped around his body was a huge, incomparable shell that gave him an unparalleled sense of security. It's just that in the next moment, he returned to reality, as if all he had seen before was a dream. Glerint stood up a little disappointed, patted the dust on his body, and hurriedly went to test the ability he had acquired.

It's just that I don't know why, after such an extreme sense of security, all that stays in my heart is an empty and barren.

Above the gray mist, Crane opened his mouth wide as he watched a huge eye emerge into the air. The gray mist was torn apart, forming a huge hollow. A curtain appeared in front of the huge eye, as if to obscure the true face of the eye. The eye made a puzzled look, scanning left and right, finally fixing its gaze on Klein, who was sitting in his chair. Gao Wei fell into the gray mist, as if he recognized the identity of the fool, and he smiled "embarrassedly" at Klein:

"Good fellow, you have this too, huh? I thought I was the only one who dared to pretend to be a god. ”

Gao Wei is acting, after all, he is really a god; Crane, on the other hand, was really embarrassed to the point that his feet were on the ground, and now, he was a little glad that he had gray mist to cover his face, otherwise according to his expression now, he would only feel even more embarrassed...... He laughed dryly twice and said to Gao Wei:

"Haha, that's right...... What a coincidence......"

Excuse me, what should we do if the traversers in our family are so full of martial virtues? I thought I was the only one in this era, so I dared to become a god - speaking of which, why are all time-travelers so good at pretending to be ghosts? Russell calls himself Caesar, I call myself a fool, Gao Wei doesn't know, but he looks like a big-eyed man...... Alas, online, etc., quite urgent.

These thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, and he looked at Gao Wei with each other. After a short silence, Gao Wei, who was already performing, was the first to break the silence: "You can trust me this time, Klein, right?" I really am a time-traveler, and I am not influenced by the real Creator. ”

Crane nodded, covering his head in shame. He dropped his vest more thoroughly...... Or that both sides have dropped their vests, and now it is who is thin-skinned and who is embarrassed. But Klein didn't think he had the cheekiness to fool him in reality for more than an hour, so he felt an unspeakable sense of shame.

"So, you're using this as a meeting space? Well...... It seems that we want to go together, and we all have to use our golden fingers...... Well? Klein, what's wrong with you? Gao Wei said as he walked around. Speaking of this, Gao Wei saw that Klein did not respond, and watched the gray fog around him gradually thicken, and was stunned for a moment.

"No...... Aren't you embarrassed that we pretended to be gods and fought with the air yesterday......" Klein said with some confusion, looking like the feeling of social death had not yet dissipated. But immediately after, he heard Gao Wei's laughter: "Klein, actually, this is a very normal thing, after all, in this world, gods are also changed from humans. ”

What a normal ghost! Klein vomited frantically in the bottom of his heart.

"Or do you pre-book the spot? You see, this secret is now known only to the two of us, and not even the other gods can peer through your grey mist and my 'courtyard'. Or, you see, you let me join this party as an ally of the Fools. In that way, you can believe that I won't talk nonsense, right? ”

What nonsense...... The True Creator and the Goddess of Night, far away in the Godforsaken Land and the Deep Heavenly Kingdom, looked at the scene shared to them by the high-dimensional Lookdowns, and silently complained.

"Deal." Klein broke the jar and fell, his brain was a little overloaded, and he decided to drag Gao Wei into the water with him - anyway, it seems that the fellow in front of him has no malice, and if he wants to die, he will die together!

"It's a deal." Gao Wei said with a smile on his face.

This fool took the bait.

Looking at the gray mist that gradually dissipated in front of him, a mysterious smile appeared on Gao Wei's face. He dropped the brush in his hand and added the last touch of the oil painting in front of him.

It was a series of seats hidden behind the gray mist, and a majestic figure sat on the seat at the head. Next to this seat, a large pupil symbol is carved on it. Gao Wei shook his head and summoned the Hidden Sage, who had been completely tainted by himself, to deliver the letter to Crane.

In the midst of this letter, a tarot card lies quietly.

On this beautifully crafted tarot card, a towering tower is depicted that is about to fall.
