"You are indeed different from what I imagined Mr. "The World" to be, Mr. Dantès. ”

Audrey said to Klein in front of her, her tone paused for a moment:

"Ah, I don't mean to belittle you, I just feel that you are much gentler than I thought."

"Perhaps, my current appearance is just a disguise." Klein said to Audrey in a calm tone, his eyelids drooping, as if he was a real middle-aged person.

"Every 'soothsayer' and 'thief' is a qualified fraudster, and Miss 'Justice' would rather trust the audience than a 'thief' or 'soothsayer.'"

"So, can I trust you, Mr. 'World'?"

Audrey smiled, although Klein did not reveal his identity, but he did not hide too much in front of Audrey.

Hugh sat next to him, silently sighing in his heart that the world was so small, and Miss Audrey, who had communicated with him many times, was also a member of the Tarot Club.

You must know that Hugh, Forth, and Audrey know each other themselves, and their circle is already small, so it is naturally a miracle that all three of them have entered the "meeting before the gods" under the seat of Mr. "Tarot Society", Mr. "Fool".

Moreover, in terms of seniority alone, Audrey's own qualifications are much older than Hugh's, after all, the members invited by Mr. "Fool" for the first time are Miss "Justice" and Mr. "Hanged Man", and to some extent, they can even be regarded as the elders of the Tarot Society.

"Perhaps."

Crane shrugged his shoulders at Audrey easily: "After all, I am now tasked with Mr. 'Fool', and I need your help and trust. ”

Seeing that Crane's expression was a little serious, Audrey also knew that Crane seemed to be about to say the most important thing about today's meeting.

"What exactly does Mr. 'World' and Mr. 'Fool' want to do?"

"Investigate the Emperor of the Rune Empire, George Augustus."

Crane's tone was solemn, and he deliberately made his tone slightly different from that of Mr. "Fool" on the gray fog before. Otherwise, he was worried that he would be seen by Audrey, who was a former "spectator".

"Mr. 'Fool' suspects that in the previous conflict in the Southern Continent, there was the back of the royal family of the Rune Empire."

Crane said to Audrey according to what he had thought of before: "Whether it is about what Amun's brother did in Beckland or the war waged by the Rune Empire against the Republic of Intis, there may be this emperor behind it. ”

"Moreover, what the Rune Empire has gained from the war cannot keep up with the losses in the war. In Mr. Fool's view, this may have been part of a key ritual for George III to become a god. ”

"Key rituals?" Audrey said with some doubts: "According to the complete 'path of God' mastered by Mr. Fool, could it be that George III wants to use war to complete his 'Black Emperor's godhood ceremony?" ”

Klein shook his head:

"Intis has now changed back to the imperial system, and Russell Gustav has been resurrected, and the resurrection of the 'Black Emperor' will be unstoppable by other gods as long as it begins."

"According to Mr. Fool's news, the people of the Intis Empire have heard Russell's voice a few days ago, and now it seems that the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' has returned to Russell itself. Then, if George III wants to become a god, there is absolutely no way to follow the path of the 'Black Emperor'. ”

"...... of Russell the Great"

Audrey lowered her head slightly: "Then in that case, Your Majesty the Emperor...... No, then it is very likely that George III used the previous war to promote to the gods of other ways through other means. ”

"The only thing that is adjacent to the 'lawyer' route is the 'arbitrator', but from what I know so far, there is not much demand for war."

Rune's military, including Hugh and Audrey's brother Alfred, are all "arbiters", and Audrey is naturally well aware of this.

Klein knocked on the table in front of him: "But, who said that George III had to choose a promotion from the adjacent pathway?" ”

"The army of the Rune Empire besieged Lenburg in the past, perhaps in search of an object of uniqueness. Judging from the zero-level seals currently in the possession of the Orthodox Church, it is very likely that the '0-01' mastered by the Church of Knowledge is the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' path."

"Red Priest - Mr. 'World', do you mean the 'Hunter' path?"

Audrey hesitated for a moment, remembering the blasphemy card of Mr. "The Fool: "I remember that Mr. 'Fool' should have mastered the blasphemy card of the 'Red Priest' path, right?" ”

"You're right." Klein sat back in his seat and resumed his previous sitting position: "The 'Red Priest' path, hehe, I'd rather call it the 'War' path than the 'Hunter'. ”

"Mr. Fool told me before his mission that the rite of initiation of the Red Priest path was to 'start a war that would sweep the continent and achieve a certain victory.'"

Audrey frowned, leaning forward slightly:

"But the current war waged by the Empire against Intis does not seem to be worthy of engulfing the entire continent; And I don't think that the end of the war now is a victory for the Rune Empire. ”

Audrey said immediately, thinking of the army that seemed to be stained with blood all over her body when she returned from the west, and her brother who was still lying at home, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.

"Yes, it's really not a victory."

Klein agreed with Audrey's statement:

"And according to the records, if George III had become a true god by now, there would have been extremely terrifying anomalies in most of the area with George III as the center. Unless He constricts His power to the Astral Plane, he will be able to use it without affecting the real world. ”

"In other words, Mr. 'World', do you mean that George III has not yet become a god, but has somehow taken away the uniqueness belonging to the 'Red Priests' from the Church of Knowledge by waging war?"

Audrey thought for a moment:

"In that case, can we speculate that in the case of the simplification of the rite of enlightenment, we can accommodate the uniqueness of this pathway, and take it into our own body as a support for our own person."

After finishing speaking, Audrey gently rubbed her temples, raised her head, and looked at Klein in front of her with big beautiful eyes:

"Perhaps that's what you're trying to say, Mr. World. I don't know much about this now, most of it comes from Mr. 'White Tower', I wonder if it is possible for me to analyze all this? ”

It's Gao Wei who taught you this knowledge, so in fact, we know about the same content...... The teacher is out of the same door, and he can't break the trick...... Klein nodded, not denying: "It's not that this possibility is impossible. ”

"At present, because the resurrection of the 'Black Emperor' has time and steps. The first step to return to the Astral Plane will be the uniqueness of the Black Emperor, and after that, it will be a few months before the Black Emperor's three-part sequence one characteristic will be stripped from the current holder and turned into an abstract symbol, returning to the Astral Plane and the 'Black Emperor'. ”

"In other words, I suspect that the current George Augustus wants to imitate the practice of the 'Blood Emperor' Tuduo of the Quaternary Period, expelling his low-sequence extraordinary characteristics when he is sober, and only retaining the three 'Black Emperor' pathway sequence one characteristics that contain the low sequence."

"And on this basis, through the god-becoming ceremony of the 'Black Emperor' path, which has already completed a part, the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' is accommodated, so as to retain his status as the king of angels."

"And after the 'Black Emperor' is completely resurrected, he can expel the mixed characteristics in his body, and return himself to his sanity from a half-crazy state."

"In a sense, the former 'Blood Emperor' seems to have done part of it." Klein looked at Audrey, who showed a solemn expression, and analyzed at her:

"From the history of the Quaternary period, there is a great difference in the behavior of the Blood Emperor Arista Tudor before and after Solomon's resurrection. I suspect that this is most likely due to the fact that a large part of his extraordinary traits that are not adjacent to each other were taken away by the resurrected 'Black Emperor', thus regaining a great deal of sanity. ”

"But madness still remains in him, so that he can't fully return to the way he was at the beginning, so he has become the craziest true god."

Klein's speculation is very different from the real situation, but in the absence of corresponding clues, there is no way to speculate that the appearance of George III is equal to the news of "Arista Tudot".

Audrey exhaled deeply, and looked at Klein in front of her with gloomy eyes:

"It's a crazy idea. To tell the truth, Mr. 'World', this is equivalent to breaking the pattern of 'the emperor cannot become a god' in this entire era. ”

"However, the wars and powers of this 'world' are ultimately in the hands of the gods."

Klein sighed slightly, "You are a nobleman of the Rune Empire. As Mr. Fool said before, when he gave me another assignment, he stressed to me that if you are not willing to overthrow George III's rule and help us investigate George III, He will not hold you accountable. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fool, for your leniency." Audrey sighed, "But Mr. 'World', I will do my best to help you." ”

"After all, as you say, George Augustus, who has combined the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of other ways, is bound to fall into madness, and I dare not imagine what our country will become if such a tyrant becomes the emperor of our country."

Crane listened quietly to Audrey's words. Audrey took a deep breath and continued to say to Klein:

"When my brother followed Him into battle, he was seriously mentally ill and still had traces of contamination on his body. Even now, it has not improved, and with the development of time, it has a tendency to get out of control. ”

A gentle smile appeared on her face:

"However, after I was promoted to 'Bishop of the Rose', I still retained some of the extraordinary abilities of the 'audience' path. I'm now able to regulate Alfred's mental state, and at least my brother is out of control. ”

After Audrey became Bishop of the Rose, armed with many extraordinary items exchanged from tarot meetings and other extraordinary gatherings, the unarmed Alfred could no longer beat her.

Not to mention that there is also a fantasy dog by her side, ready to soothe Alfred's out-of-control spirit.

"But again, I don't want this tragedy to continue to happen to my family, or to anyone else. If the Emperor gets out of control and goes on a killing spree in the palace and in Beckland, what will my father do? ”

"Can the extraordinary beings in the palace really stop such an angel king?"

"If the 'Black Emperor' is fully recovered, the current George III will still need more extraordinary characteristics, more wars, and more victories to obtain the rites of godhood for himself."

"Then war will follow. At that time, not only my family, but also more soldiers of the Rune Empire will be plunged into such a terrible disaster. ”

"Perhaps for George III, the number of soldier injuries is just a number, but the death of every soldier represents the breakdown of a family in Beckland."

Audrey shook her head: "Such an emperor, such a war, is by no means a just war. ”

"So even if I betray the Emperor and my actions are not understood by my family, I will still assist the Tarot Society in continuing to investigate George Augustus."

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but I don't want to see tragedy after tragedy happen in Beckland."

"Such a war for one's own selfish desires is not right."

——

Klein was silent for a moment.

"'Justice'—no, Miss Audrey."

"Justice is always justice relative to the individual and the state."

"No war is just, but in the midst of war ......"

"In my opinion, only a war against the aggression of others can be a war of 'justice.'"
