Regarding the matter of praying to Mr. Fool, Bader raised both his hands and feet in agreement. He didn't have any intention of urging Bonn.
Every morning when he woke up and before he went to sleep at night, he would pray for more than a minute. He thanked Mr. Fool for bringing him pure sunlight, delicious food, and a life that was no longer filled with depression and despair.
"Alright, I'll prepare today's ingredients first." Bader smiled and nodded at Bonn.
A few minutes later, he carried many bags of ingredients into the kitchen, as though he was carrying a few pieces of curtains.
At this moment, Bonn had already found a chair and sat down. He piously prayed to Mr. Fool.
"The Great Ruler who rules the spirit world, The Fool who doesn't belong to this era, I yearn for your blessings. I yearn for you to fulfill my wish to escape my deformity …"
Such words echoed almost simultaneously in the cathedral on Phillips Street, in several places in Bayam, in the New City of Silver, and in New Moon City, which was located in the forest.
Xin, Rus, and the others, who felt extremely inferior, vaguely guessed that Mr. Fool was planning on fulfilling a similar wish. As they prayed, their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
They yearned to be like normal people.
They also yearned for the bustling Bayam. They yearned for the secret roasted fish, candy factories, and delicacies from all over the world. They yearned for a life of drinking, chatting, singing, and dancing.
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, The Fool Klein, who was sitting at the end of the long bronze table, saw dots of pure light of different colors light up one after another, forming a slowly spinning galaxy in front of him.
The prayers overlapped as they echoed in Sefirah Castle, causing ripples to form.
Klein closed his eyes and sensed it for a few seconds before raising his right hand with a sigh. He bent his middle finger and tapped the edge of the long mottled table.
Amidst the tapping sound, an invisible force rapidly spread out like ripples on the surface of water. It surged into every prayer point of light and scattered onto the people of Moon City.
Xin suddenly sensed something and raised her hand to touch the center of her face.
In the next second, she touched her nose.
Almost instinctively, Xin rubbed that spot from top to bottom several times before she could believe that she had grown a nose and was no longer deformed.
She instantly closed her eyes, bent down, and pressed her forehead to the ground. She couldn't help but praise Mr. Fool.
Around her, similar praises grew louder, louder, and more orderly.
Rus's squeezed eyes separated. Bonn became symmetrical from top to bottom. Every deformed person and person with an ugly appearance due to heredity in Moon City broke through their original limits at this moment and transformed into a normal person.
At this moment, regardless of whether they were in New Moon City, the New City of Silver, or Bayam, they heard the cathedral's bell ringing at the same time.
Clang!
The ethereal and melodious sound of the bell echoed in the hearts of the people of Moon City, ringing in the ears of everyone who heard it. It was as if it could cleanse their hearts and bring them the most genuine feeling towards life.
The tears that Xin, Rus, and company had been holding back finally flowed out. They felt that their bodies and minds had become tranquil, without any dust.
They subconsciously raised their heads and cast their gazes in the direction of the bell. They discovered that it came from outside of New Moon City, and they did not know how far it was from where they were.
A miracle … A thought suddenly appeared in the minds of the people of Moon City.
In the new City of Silver that was connected to them, Waite Chirmont and the others cast their gazes into the distance, in the direction of Bayam.
The bell was ringing from that place.
"Praise be to Mr. Fool!" they muttered at the same time as they pressed their right palms on their left chests.
In Bayam, Bonn and Bader adjusted their positions with tears streaming down their faces. They faced Phillips Street, towards the cathedral that belonged to Mr. Fool, and listened devoutly and gratefully to the holy bell that came from Heaven.
Above the gray fog, The Fool Klein was a little alarmed and confused.
The sudden ringing of the bell wasn't part of his plan at all.
He then cast his gaze towards the cathedral of The Fool at 16 Phillips Street.
Almost at the same time, he used the prayer light to see the tall bell tower attached to the cathedral. He saw a young man wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe standing at the top of the bell tower.
The young man was holding a black bell hammer and striking the bell again and again.
As if sensing the gaze from an infinite height, the young man stopped, raised his head slightly, and adjusted the crystal monocle on his right eye.
At the same time, the corners of his mouth, which was already smiling, widened.
"…" Klein nearly cursed.
At that moment, his eyes glazed over in an unconcealable manner. He didn't understand why the Angel of Time, Amon, would suddenly appear. Furthermore, he had seriously struck the bell of his cathedral.
Regarding the possible arrival of Amon and Zaratul, Klein was actually mentally prepared. This was because there were just too many people in the City of Silver and Moon City. It was impossible for them to secretly integrate into the outside world.
In other words, the City of Silver and Moon City would definitely be known by the various Churches and secret organizations. Under such circumstances, be it public or private proselytizing, it wouldn't affect the development of the matter. Therefore, Klein tacitly agreed to the City of Silver's attempt to widely spread the faith of The Fool, so as to prepare more anchors for his advancement to Sequence 1.
Based on this premise, he was prepared for Zaratul, Amon, and the other hidden enemies to come to Bayam. He even hoped that they would do so.
Here, in Sefirah Castle, Klein, who had the status and level of a King of Angels, could fully utilize his home field advantage. As for the City of Silver, it also had a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. It could completely resist Amon and take down Zaratul.
Compared to his main body suddenly encountering a prepared enemy elsewhere or being discovered after creating a marionette city, this was undoubtedly a better choice.
However, Amon's current actions left Klein rather puzzled. He didn't understand what the God of Deceit wanted to achieve.
…
16 Phillips Street, inside the cathedral of The Fool.
The archbishop on duty here, the Chief of the City of Silver's six-member council, Derrick Berg, also looked up at the stained glass high above in surprise.
Rays of sunlight shone in from there, allowing Derrick to decipher scenes from within.
The black bell hammer fell, and the shaking of the bell gradually stopped.
I didn't arrange for anyone to strike the bell … Derrick frowned.
As a member of the City of Silver, as a demigod in the Sun domain, he had a keen intuition for abnormalities. He knew that something had definitely gone wrong.
However, this strange ringing of the bell didn't bring about any surprises. Apart from itself, everything appeared normal.
As Derrick used his Beyonder powers as an Unshadowed to observe his surroundings, he quickly considered if the ringing of the bell had any mysticism meaning.
After eliminating the possibilities, he suddenly recalled the Holy Bible of The Fool compiled by the City of Silver.
There was content related to the ringing of the bell!
It was used to describe the relationship between the Angel of Time, Amon, and Mr. Fool, and to determine "His" true status.
Derrick was opposed to that statement because he knew that Blasphemer Amon wasn't Mr. Fool's Blessed. The relationship between the two wasn't even harmonious, and they were in a state of hostility.
However, the lies he had previously told the other members of the City of Silver's six-member council believed that the Angel of Time, Amon, had been appointed by Mr. Fool to cast the first light on the people of the Forsaken Land of the Gods. It was because "He" had "Parasitized" Derrick that there were all sorts of changes that led to the descent of hope.
Derrick wanted to explain, but he was too embarrassed to do so. That would result in too many lies, causing him to lose his image in front of the other Elders of the six-member council and the citizens of the City of Silver. Just as Miss Justice had once said, it was a social death.
Finally, he chose to delay the matter. He believed that he had to show the Holy Bible to Mr. Fool first. If there was anything wrong with the description, "He" would definitely send down a revelation and give some suggestions.
To his surprise, Mr. Fool didn't say anything and tacitly approved of the contents of the Holy Bible.
Could it be that Amon is here to ring the bell? For a moment, Derrick was in a daze, feeling that it was too unbelievable.
He hurriedly lowered his head and began praying to report this matter to Mr. Fool.
…
Above the gray fog, inside Sefirah Castle.
Before Klein could eliminate Amon, the latter suddenly turned transparent and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from the bell tower.
What does this fellow want to do? If "His" father is the Emperor and not the ancient Sun God, then I can reasonably suspect that "He" is "sending" me the bell … As Klein checked if there was Amon lurking in the bodies of the City of Silver and Moon City members, he analyzed Amon's motives without any clues.
Just as he was about to use divination to seek clues, Sun Derrick finished his prayer.
… Holy Bible, Holy Bible? The corners of Klein's mouth twitched as he summoned the Holy Bible that the City of Silver had sacrificed to him from the junk pile.
He had only flipped through a few pages before he couldn't stand the awkwardness and didn't continue reading. He put on a posture as if he didn't know that it didn't exist if he didn't pay attention to it.
Of course, he wasn't careless in this aspect. He was still sufficiently cautious. In Sefirah Castle, he had used divination to confirm that the Holy Bible wouldn't bring him any harm.
With this premise, he tacitly allowed the City of Silver to use this version of the Holy Bible.
Slowly taking a deep breath, Klein stretched out his right hand and flipped through the scriptures in front of him.
The muscles on his face gradually twitched, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.
Klein flipped faster and faster. Finally, he saw the last page.
Pa!
Klein suddenly closed The Fool's Holy Bible and threw it back into the junk pile.
After the miracle in Moon City, yes, the potion has been mostly digested. The marionette city will have to step onto the stage of history … Klein expressionlessly examined his condition and nodded indiscernibly.
Ever since he had gained initial control of Sefirah Castle, he could also obtain feedback from the real world.
