The Fool Klein grunted softly. He didn't deny The Hanging Man's guess, nor did he confirm that it was Queen of Calamity Cohinem. After all, it was impossible for him to take out a gold coin in front of her and do a divination on the spot.
The Hanging Man Alger waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Mr. Fool didn't give a clear response, he hurriedly described the contents of the prayer in more detail. It began from the woman suspected to be Queen of Calamity Cohinem saying that he had some elven bloodline, all the way to the promise of becoming a demigod, the possibility of reappearing in the Western Continent, and the key to completing the agreement.
After recounting everything, Alger shut his mouth and lowered his head. He didn't dare to directly ask Mr. Fool for his opinion. He obediently waited for the great existence to speak.
Some elven bloodline … Sending something from the Book of Calamity to the Western Continent … The vanished Western Continent might reappear … Western Continent … The Fool Klein listened quietly and closed his eyes.
He said calmly, "It's very dangerous, but it's also an opportunity for you."
He had already gained initial control of Sefirah Castle, and the power he could mobilize had reached the level of a Sequence 2 angel. As for Queen of Calamity Cohinem, she was only at this level. Klein was rather confident that he could resist the various accidents brought about by the elf queen.
It was precisely because of this that he dared to say that this was an opportunity for The Hanging Man.
Of course, the premise of seizing the opportunity was that The Hanging Man wasn't rash or rash. He had to constantly remember to ask for protection. Therefore, Klein deliberately emphasized that it was very dangerous, making The Hanging Man remember to pray to Mr. Fool before he took action.
Such a short sentence contained two meanings, but Klein believed that Mr. The Hanging Man would definitely understand it.
Alger was delighted as he mimicked The Sun and replied rather sincerely, "That's right.
"I only believe in Mr. Fool!"
This made Klein feel uncomfortable as he recalled the pain of being drowned by the endless lightning. All he could do was smile without saying a word.
"The Hanging Man" Alger deliberated for a moment and took the initiative to ask,
"Honorable Mr. Fool, what's the incantation or password to enter the Western Continent?"
I want to know too … The Fool Klein sighed inwardly.
"It's not time for you to know yet."
"Yes, Mr. Fool." The Hanging Man Alger didn't ask further as he bowed respectfully.
When he returned to the World of Reality, he immediately walked out of the tent and took the sailors with him. Under the light of dawn, it took them some time to reach the Elven ruins.
The scene here was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dream. Withered vines covered the decaying wooden buildings, and inscriptions could be seen in some places. The air was a little stiff, as if no one had set foot here for a long time.
After looking around seriously, Alger suddenly thought of a problem.
That was, how should he face the Church after he became a demigod with the help of the Queen of Calamity?
I'll directly rebel and become the fifth, no, sixth king above the Five Seas? But that way, I won't have a chance to come into contact with the Book of Calamity unless I design something that forces the Church to use this Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. Not only will it be very difficult, but I'll also have to become a Sea King or even a Calamity to succeed … Yes, I can seek the help of The World … If I want to continue staying in the Church, I have to give them a good reason that they can't refuse … Alger frowned slightly and didn't hide his solemnity.
In the eyes of the sailors who followed him, this was a sign that he wasn't at ease with the ruins.
As his thoughts churned, Alger gradually came up with some ideas.
Many of the Church's documents have records of powerhouses who became demigods due to fortuitous encounters … Two-thirds of them were corrupted by evil gods and devils, and they eventually lost their lives in the purification process … However, one-third of them passed the test and became high-ranking deacons or cardinals …
Now that the war has erupted, the situation in Rouen is tense. As long as no problems are found, the Church likely won't mind having an additional Sequence 4 demigod as cannon fodder … After that, I'll slowly regain trust …
The premise of all of this is that the Queen of Calamity really doesn't attempt to corrupt me or leave a mark on me …
Considering that the Church has all kinds of Sealed Artifacts, I have to pray to Mr. Fool for blessings … According to Miss Justice, Angel's Embrace can effectively fool the mind and tests related to dreams …
With the Tarot members all advancing to demigod or about to advance to demigod, Alger really didn't want to become an existence at the bottom. Just like in the Church in the past, he had done so many things in order to be superior to others. At this moment, he was naturally willing to take a certain amount of risk for this.
Having made up his mind, Alger immediately led the sailors into the ruins and explored step by step according to the route in his dream.
This time, he didn't split his subordinates into small teams. On the one hand, he was worried that accidents would happen, and on the other hand, he hoped that all of them would be his "witnesses."
After fifteen minutes, Alger and his crew arrived beside the gigantic tree that had signs of being flipped over in the soil.
Before he could take in his surroundings, his vision suddenly blurred as he saw a gorgeous palace formed from coral.
Above the palace were layers of rippling dark blue seawater. Huge pillars stood tall, propping up an exaggerated dome. It was tall and magnificent, but also gloomy and dark.
Alger looked around and realized that the sailors beside him had all disappeared. He immediately realized that he might have been pulled into an illusion.
He silently took a deep breath and slowly walked into the coral palace.
There were elves inside. They were either roasting fish, putting spices into the solidified animal blood, or using two tree branches to bring food to their mouths. None of them cared about strangers entering.
Alger then cast his gaze at the nine steps that were more than a hundred meters away.
On the steps was a coral seat inlaid with sapphires, emeralds, and lustrous pearls. The elf queen, Queen of Calamity, was sitting there, looking down at Alger.
"Very good." Cohinem nodded slightly and threw out the exquisite golden wine cup in her hand.
The gentle but strong wind cheered as it held up the wine cup. They were like tiny pixies that lined up and carried the corresponding items as they quickly approached Alger.
Alger reached out to receive it and looked down. He realized that there was a pool of blue liquid inside the golden wine cup. It was fake, dreamy, and not real enough.
"Drink it and head to the waters near Symeem Island in the Rorsted Archipelago. Find this coral palace. There's something you want inside."
"If I don't drink this cup of 'wine,' I won't be able to see the palace?" Alger asked thoughtfully.
Although he was facing an angel, he was still able to communicate rather calmly. This was because he saw a particular mighty existence every week, so he was already used to such situations.
Queen of Calamity Cohinem nodded and said, "That's right.
"Yes."
"Will this leave a mark on me?" Alger asked cautiously.
"Yes." "Therefore, before you enter the coral palace and obtain the corresponding item, you can't return to Pasu Island or meet the angels under Leodero."
How can I meet His Holiness just because I want to … Alger heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.
He then asked, "When I obtain that item, will the effects of this cup of 'wine' disappear?"
Elf Queen Cohinem replied without any change in expression, "No.
"No, you need to eat that characteristic directly.
"When the time comes, this cup of 'wine' will transform into a seal, preventing the characteristic from corroding your body for the time being. After that, how you prepare the ritual and explain it to the Church of the Storm will be up to you."
Let the characteristic belong to me first before holding the ritual? This way, there might be a better way to make the Church accept it … Alger thought for a moment before raising his hand to bring the cup to his mouth.
The ice-cold liquid slid down his throat before vanishing in an instant. The entire coral palace shattered as the light of dawn and the remnants of the gigantic tree with some green leaves appeared in front of Alger once again.
They didn't make me sign a contract or make me swear an oath? Yes, drinking that cup of 'wine' is equivalent to making an agreement … Alger retracted his gaze and said to the sailors around him, who didn't notice anything.
"There's nothing here. Let's take a deeper look."
…
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace.
Klein also retracted his gaze from the crimson star representing The Hanging Man and nodded thoughtfully.
That's the grave of Siatas and Mobet … That golden cup has such a use …
It's indeed Elf Queen Cohinem … What's "Her" current state? Half of it is in the Book of Calamity, and the other half is hiding somewhere. Is it using the golden cup or its own characteristic to influence reality?
Mr. The Hanging Man isn't corrupted for the time being. I'll take a look when he goes to the Rorsted Archipelago.
As his main body could only last a limited amount of time in the Historical Void, Klein didn't stay any longer. He returned to the pitch-black wilderness and continued walking in a certain direction with the lantern that emitted a faint yellow light.
As he walked, Klein turned his head to look at the east, which was the symbol of Chernobyl. He couldn't help but slow down.
Once I obtain enough information from the Dark Demonic Wolf's hiding spot, I'll head east. I'll keep walking until I reach the border and confirm the situation. Then, I'll consider the matter of the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic … Amon probably didn't expect me to suddenly leave … "He" definitely knows the Dark Demonic Wolf's past very well. It's unlikely that "He" will do the same investigation as me … Yes, but "He" will definitely track me … Klein slowly exhaled and sped up his pace.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the black and red desolate plains. The pattering rain began to fall.
Klein dragged a black umbrella out of the Historical Void. With an umbrella in one hand and a lamp in the other, he walked forward alone.
…
About a week later, the Future docked somewhere along the long coastline of Rouen.
Admiral of Stars Cattleya held a stack of tarot cards in her hand as she said to Boatswain Nina and company, "I'll be staying in Rouen for a period of time.
"I'll be staying in Loen for a period of time. You have to watch Frank and prevent him from doing any strange experiments."
