Chapter 89: Return to the Tarot Society
Angel, who unconsciously curled up in pain, suddenly found that the burning heat that filled her limbs, the involuntary twitching of her muscles, and the tearing sensation caused by cracked skin were all gone in an instant.
The uncontrollable surging spirituality is like the surface of the sea after the storm has left, gradually returning to quiet.
She opened her eyes blankly, and found that she had come to a majestic palace shrouded in gray mist, and sat down at a long bronze table, the familiar touch under her kept her memory.
This is the venue of the "Tarot Society", the palace of Mr. "Fool".
Looking to the right, the Fool's hazy figure shrouded in mist was sitting at the head of the long table, a gaze of invisible pressure at her, which made her bow her head.
I'm going back to that Grey Mist Palace, back to the Tarot Society?
Recalling what had just happened, Angel confirmed this.
Just now, when she took the potion to be promoted, she encountered a blood moon that suddenly appeared, and when she was on the verge of losing control, she seemed to fall into the water, and she unconsciously shouted out the honorific name of "Fool".
Now it seems that He heard my prayers and saved my life......
"Thank you, Mr. Fool, for saving my life for this attempt."
She remembered what the Fool had called "an attempt" when he first pulled himself, Justice, and the Hanged Man into the space, and thanked Him from the bottom of her heart.
"You're welcome," Mr. Fool replied in a low voice, still indifferent, "and welcome back to the Tarot Society, Miss 'Queen'." ”
He knows I'm alive, always knowing?
Could it be that in the two months that I have not been able to attend the Tarot Society, this god-like being has been watching me?
Angel thought secretly, and her body quickly responded, bowing her head and saluting.
"In addition, this person next to you is one of the new members of the Tarot Society, Miss 'Magician', and Miss 'Magician', this is the original member of the Tarot Society, Miss 'Queen', who has temporarily left the regular weekly meeting due to some things."
The fool's slightly undulating tone came again, Angel listened to the introduction, subconsciously looked to the other side of herself, and found that across the back chair of the original "righteous" Audrey, there was a lady who was half a head lower than her in the position to the left.
"Hello, Miss Magician, welcome to the 'Tarot Club'."
She took the initiative to say hello, with a hint of reserve as a "senior".
"Hello, Miss Queen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The magician replied with a stiff voice.
After a little greeting, Angel turned to Mr. Fool at the head of the long table, she was a little curious, this was not the time for the Tarot Society, except for herself who was pulled into this gray mist space because of her prayers for help, why were there other members here?
And when the fool said "one of the new members", does it mean that during the time he left, in addition to Miss Magician, there were other new people joining?
Thankfully, one of these questions was quickly answered, and Miss Magician, as she had done earlier, expressed her gratitude to the Fool for bringing her here during the Blood Moon.
Under her introduction, Angel learned that the "magician" would hear some kind of out-of-control murmur every time during the "Blood Moon", and when it was a real "Blood Moon", the murmur would be even stronger, making her have a splitting headache and be unable to think.
In the last "Blood Moon", she couldn't bear this kind of whispering, and pronounced the honorific name of the "Fool" she saw in a certain book, and was rescued by this mysterious being, and came to the gray mist space to avoid the "Blood Moon", to avoid losing control and dying in the increasingly strong whispers.
It seems that this new member is also a victim of the Blood Moon...... Was it because you happened to encounter a bad situation when you were promoted, or was there some other trait that made it dangerous during a Blood Moon?
She remembered the occult rumors about the Blood Moon, such as the fact that certain pathways are more likely to get out of control under the Blood Moon, and that certain Extraordinary Beings who have been suppressed for a long time will release everything on this night......
In the Grey Mist Palace, much quieter than usual, Angel spent a few difficult minutes in thought, and Miss Magician was not the first time she had been here because of a blood moon, and she was restrained but very calm.
She leaned lazily back in her chair, silently waiting for the time to pass.
"The blood moon is over, Miss Magician, do you need to leave now?"
The Fool's fingers tapped on the table, and the regular thump made Angel feel a palpitation, presumably the other member, as she eagerly replied, "Yes, thank you, Mr. Fool." ”
As at the end of the previous tarot meeting, the magician's hazy form was enveloped in crimson light that poured in from nowhere, turned illusory, and then disappeared into the long table.
Now, it's just her and Him.
Looking at the existence who saved his life, Angel said cautiously:
"Mr. Fool, I am sorry that for some reason I was not able to attend the Tarot Society, and I did not ask you for leave."
…… It's actually that you didn't bring me here to the meeting, not that I didn't want to......
She only dared to bury this complaint in the bottom of her heart.
"It's okay, just when you take a long vacation, and in the week of the beginning of September, the other members also took a leave of absence for various reasons, and then they come back, you don't, that's all."
Other members......
Angel thought of the "righteous" Audrey, who had recently "met offline", and the cautious and knowledgeable "Hanged Man".
and Klein Moretti, who he once recommended and seems to have joined the Tarot Club.
"Mr. Fool, may I ask Klein Moretti, the one I recommended earlier, if he has ever joined the Tarot Society and become your follower? In the city of Tingen, you relayed his prayers, and in the end the night watchers succeeded in preventing the arrival of the 'true Creator'. ”
She did not hide the efforts of the Night Watch in this incident, as the Fool would relay Crane's prayers to her, presumably because he knew the identities of the two.
"Yes, he passed the examination and was eligible to join, so I approached him. And not long after, he made some insignificant contributions in the battle you mentioned. ”
No, not insignificant, he, together with Captain Dunn, saved the city of Tingen, saved his family, and more citizens......
Angel recalled the tragic battlefield when the evil god came, and his heart was a little gloomy, and he did not continue to ask Klein about his experience of joining the Tarot Society.
"Hehe, go back to your own situation," as if sensing her emotions, the fool chuckled, his voice low but with a hint of reassurance, "this is just an urgent 'invitation', you still have the right to choose." Miss Queen, would you like to continue to participate in the Tarot Society, if you agree, the time and place will remain the same; If you refuse, you will not be disturbed after leaving this time. ”
Turns out I still have the right to choose? In any case, compared to the hidden existence and evil gods that I had seen from the internal sources of the church, the "fools" were simply the orderly, good kind.
Angel hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Fool, I do."
For some reason, she felt the Fool's eyes soften at her.
