Chapter 169: "I Have Returned"
Above the gray mist, Crane Moretti watched the crimson stars in front of him light up one by one, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
As soon as he waved his hand, the dummy "world" appeared at the very end of the Tarot Society under his control. Crane controlled the spirit thread, and felt a sense of ease in controlling the secret puppet.
Well, the ability to control the secret puppet has become much stronger, and I don't know how many times easier than before; And compared to the three poor puppets before, I can now control a total of fifty puppets, and I can increase them after further digestion.
No wonder, the demigods' doors are so hard to push open......
Klein clearly felt that he was fundamentally different from before, and this was the essential difference in the level of life between man and God.
And the promotion from demigod to angel and sequence is such a process of transformation from "human" to "god".
"Miss Hugh has also done a lot of things, and it's time to pull her into the Tarot Society. The Lamp God is currently in a sealed state, and I wonder if he has the ability to come up with Hugh's spirits? Crane smiled:
"No, it doesn't matter if the Lamp God comes up, I have a fairly high compatibility with the 'Source Fort' now, and in the case of knowing the 'basic character' of the Lamp God and Tianzun acting instinctively, as long as I can pretend to be half, no, a quarter of the Tianzun's posture, it is completely enough to make the Lamp God scare himself."
"He is in a sealed state, and there is no way to penetrate power to the outside - you can also use this opportunity to beat Him in the name of Heavenly Venerable."
"If you do this, presumably Tianzun won't mind, right?"
Crane restrained his previous desire to let the other members of the Tarot Society directly enter the Tarot Society, and instead reached out to light up the slightly faint crimson star in front of him.
He looked at the reflection of the star, where Hugh and the others were sitting in the same room, as if eagerly talking about something.
Sharon, Marić, they're all there...... I wonder what my crew is trying to say? The corners of Crane's mouth turned up, and he said in a relaxed and deep voice in Hugh's ear with some wicked taste:
"Your mission is accomplished."
"I'll allow you to join my party."
Hugh, who had been talking to the others, suddenly fell silent when she heard the sudden voice, and she was stunned for several seconds because the voice remained motionless.
The "Wishing Lamp" tied to her belt shook slightly, and there seemed to be a layer of golden light flickering on it, like a beautiful water wave.
Sharon quietly turned her head and looked at Hugh in front of her—she seemed to have guessed something, stood up slightly, and said to the others around her in a calm and monotonous voice:
"I'll go out for a while, unaccompanied."
……
Hugh walked into the bathroom with some trepidation, and thanks to Sharon's temporary departure, she also found an excuse to go to the bathroom. She sat on the toilet in the bathroom, anxiously awaiting the summons of the Great Being.
"You need to be careful of the being called 'The Fool'." A slightly sarcastic voice came from the wishing lamp that Hugh had placed beside him: "Guess why He summoned you weak humans? ”
Hugh glanced at the god of lights, completely ignoring the demon who was sealed in the lamp. She closed her eyes, but the voice of the lamp god was still persistently drilling into Hugh's ears:
"You don't really think what you're doing will help him recover, do you?"
"Look at me—phew, I'm an old rival of fate, and I don't want my current host to be controlled by him, so I'll never have a place to turn over."
"I know more about the being you believe in called the Fool than I do about my friends. He is not a fool, and He will not even tell you His true name—His true name is Blessed Life—"
A distorted crimson glow appeared in front of Hugh, and the air was suddenly silent, followed by a chuckle.
Hearing this chuckle, the lamp god froze in place for two seconds, and the golden lantern pot rippled like a wave of light.
The god of lights thoughtfully:
"So it seems—He did have a plan of his own."
"Whether or not this 'fool' has anything to do with Him now, He should not wake up. Hey, maybe this is my chance to get out of trouble......"
The lamp god was spiritually moved, but he saw a young man walk in through the closed door of the bathroom, and he was stunned for two seconds:
“…… A high-dimensional person looking down, it is not a gentleman's act to walk into a lady's bathroom. ”
The high-dimensional overlooking person glanced at Hugh, who was neatly dressed, and spoke to the god of lights:
"She's sitting on a toilet seat at best, Child of Chaos."
"Or do you actually want to have a dream of becoming a lady? I can satisfy you, do you want me to throw you directly to the Mother Goddess? ”
……
"Welcome, Miss Judgment."
The "Fool" with a blurred face drew a card from the tarot card in front of her, and Hugh watched as he flipped it over, revealing a tarot card "Judgment" with a sword in her hand drawn on it.
With a gentle push, the card glides down the rough stone table as if there was no resistance, and it doesn't stop until the card reaches Hugh.
His tone was mysterious, and his gesture was relaxed:
"Welcome to the Tarot Club."
One figure after another appeared in front of Hugh with the words of the "fool", and a crisp and beautiful voice sounded that made Hugh feel a little familiar:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'......"
Is this Miss Audrey's voice? Hugh was stunned, and involuntarily leaned forward, trying to see the voice of the person who spoke. On the side, Furth, who was originally touching the fish, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Hugh leaning out half of his body.
Stop? Firth looked at the familiar figure, and immediately made up his mind to wait for a separate communication with Hugh.
"This is Miss 'Judgment'."
Crane stretched out his hand, greeted the other people's gazes as if they were asking, and said calmly to the people around him.
After hearing what Klein said, Furth must have figured out the identity of this new Tarot member through this code name and the physical characteristics of this vague figure.
After all, there are not many women with 1.52 meters among the people Firth knows, and the only one who can become the "judge" of the Tarot Society is probably his friend Hugh.
Looks like Hugh has also passed Mr. Fool's review...... Foirth nodded slightly, straightening his posture a bit, waiting for the topic to begin at the tarot meeting.
"You didn't hold the tarot meeting at the usual time last week, and we were worried."
"Justice," said Audrey to Mr. "Fool", and she hesitated slightly, and then spoke first:
"I wonder what happened during this time?"
"Huh." Klein smiled deeply, and then said casually, "I played a game with the gods in the Southern Continent. ”
"Unexpectedly, the mother tree failed to suppress her desire and tried to descend from God."
Mother Tree ...... Mother Tree of Desire? The evil god?
Alger's pupils contracted violently, as a member of the Storm Church, he naturally knew about the unusual movement coming from the church before. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Evil God Desire Mother Tree would actually try to descend in this disaster.
Or was this catastrophe originally caused by the Mother Tree of Desire's attempt to descend from God?
And at the Tarot meeting two weeks ago, Mr. "White Tower" also seemed to say that "the eternal sun has betrayed humanity and thrown itself into the Mother Tree of Desire".
Now it seems that the Eternal Sun may have really been killed by the true Creator, otherwise according to the information from the Church's intelligence agents on the Intis side, it would be impossible for the Aurora Society to establish a church in Intis itself.
You must know that the Church of the Eternal Sun, like the Church of the Storm, is extremely hostile to the Aurora Society, which believes in the "true creator"!
And, listening to Mr. "Fool", it seems that Mr. "Fool" is also involved in this divine war?
To what extent has His strength been restored now?
Alger's heart moved, lowered his head slightly, and asked tentatively:
"Mr. Fool, you—you were also involved in that war between the gods?"
"Not really." He heard the "fool" sitting on the throne say to him in a relaxed tone:
"My strength has not fully recovered, at best, with the help of my dependents, I have only solved a few hidden dangers that threaten reality."
Really...... Mr. Fool was also involved in that war! Alger didn't believe Mr. Fool's almost self-effacing words, he only felt that Mr. Fool didn't want to directly reveal that he was involved in the war, or that the god didn't care about the "petty" war at all.
Perhaps, Mr. Fool is a god who has existed since ancient times, and in his eyes, only the great melee between the gods of the first and second ages can be regarded as a complete war......
Alger thought, the fear in his heart even greater.
At this moment, Mr. "Fool" didn't know what Alger was thinking, he just calmly swept the crowd in front of him. He paused slightly as his eyes swept over Miss Justice.
Miss Justice gave me a different feeling than before...... Klein couldn't help but think in his heart.
He made a deep gesture and said to Audrey in a subtle tone:
"You seem to have made your own choice."
Almost at the same time, all eyes at the tarot meeting were focused on Miss "Justice", and the corners of the mouth of the "magician" Furth, who was sitting on the side, twitched slightly: she knew what Mr. Fool was referring to.
That day, when she went to Miss Justice's home, Forthth stepped on a trap that Audrey had set up with her own flesh and blood—Forth never imagined why Miss Justice would switch from the "spectator" approach to the relatively terrifying "Hanged Man" approach.
At the time, Forthth even thought that Audrey had been contaminated by some evil god.
After receiving Audrey's reply, Forthth agreed with Audrey's choice - for her, her greatest wish for extraordinary strength should have been to have the strength to protect her family in this crisis situation.
And the "hanging man" approach is obviously a better choice to achieve this goal.
It's just that an aristocratic lady like Miss "Justice" turned to the "Hanged Man" path, well, it inexplicably gives me a feeling of a dark fairy tale......
Furth thought subconsciously, and his body trembled slightly. Even now, she still has a strong psychological shadow of the scene where Miss "Justice" came out of that sticky mass of flesh at that time.
And hearing Mr. "Fool" words, Audrey was obviously stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly:
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
"Now war can happen at any time, and the extraordinary people of Beckland are becoming more and more numerous. My previous sequence didn't give me enough strength to protect my family before the demigods. So, it's a choice I made, and I don't regret it. ”
"Even though I gave up on my favorite path, I also had the strength to protect my family, and that feeling made me feel more fulfilling."
"Ladies and gentlemen, my previous commission remains the same, I still need the Potion for the 'Spator' route Sequence 6, but I can also hope that you can help me gather information about the 'Shepherd' potion recipe."
She nodded, "I'm now a Sequence Six 'Bishop of the Rose'. ”
Bishop Rose? You're really brave, Miss 'Justice', this is a direct change of course? It will increase the probability of losing control......
Crane suddenly felt a little stunned - in his opinion, the difference between the potion of Miss "Justice" and "Bishop Rose" was too great, and he felt like he didn't know what to do for a while.
But now the "true creator" at the top of the "hanged man" path has a lot of friendship with me, and maybe I can use other methods......
Crane's mind moved, and he controlled the end of the dummy "world" and spoke in a hoarse voice. Because Klein's identity of the "world" had been deliberately exposed before, he didn't hide it much:
"If Miss Justice needs it, I can introduce you to a bishop at the Church of the Night."
"Of course, this position won't be in Beckland, but I can find an opportunity to help you digest this potion."
Hearing the words of "the world", Audrey was silent for a while, and then opened her mouth to ask him:
"Mr. World, what kind of payment do I need to pay you?"
"I don't need to be paid right now." Crane took control of the dummy "world" and said, "For me, this matter is just a gesture, and I am using the relationship of Mr. 'Fool', of which I am only a small part. ”
Audrey hesitated for a moment, then responded with impeccable etiquette:
"Mr. 'World.'"
"I know that you are a relative of Mr. Fool, and that you may not need the extraordinary materials and extraordinary items I have on you."
"But neither I can thank you or Mr. Fool for this opportunity, but I can't accept this gift without paying it."
"I don't have anything else important on me, so I can only donate 20,000 gold pounds to Mr. Fool as a fund for the activities of Mr. Fool's family, so that I can settle down a little."
Audrey counted her small coffers, said pertinently, and then stood up and bowed slightly to the "Fool".
"After all, I respect Mr. Fool, and I also believe in the goddess."
"Praise to Mr. 'Fool'."
