"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
The other members of the Tarot looked rather solemn as they followed Miss Justice to complete the usual greeting.
After they sat down again, The Fool Klein looked around and said in a low voice,
"I shall enter a deep slumber."
Upon hearing this, The Hanging Man Alger, Justice Audrey, Judgment Xio, and Magicians Fors involuntarily felt as though their second shoe had finally landed on the ground. The hearts of The Star Leonard, The Moon Emlyn, Sun, and the other Tarot members sank as they became increasingly flustered and puzzled.
Of course, they weren't that surprised. The abnormal impromptu gathering and the abnormal absence of "World" seemed to indicate that something important would happen today.
Klein maintained his last bit of sobriety and said in the same tone as before:
"This is a war that surpasses the Sequences, and it's related to the extent of the Apocalypse"
As expected … The Hanging Man Alger keenly caught the phrase "transcending the Sequences."
He had long suspected that there was another level above Sequence 0: the level of the ancient god of Sun who had eight Kings of Angels.
Now, Mr. Fool had finally confirmed his guess and resolved many of his questions.
Cattleya and company also noticed the hidden message in Mr. Fool's words. Some of them were like The Hanging Man and already had similar guesses. At that moment, they felt that it was indeed the case. Some of them hadn't thought about it before, so they couldn't help but be surprised and confused when they heard that. However, they quickly came to a realization after combining all the things they knew in the past.
The Fool Klein continued:
"Only when you become angels will you have the qualifications to know the specific situation. Otherwise, just understanding itself will bring about contamination."
This made the members of the Tarot think of the underground world and the cosmos. For a moment, they couldn't hold back their thoughts.
Klein looked at the bottom of the long mottled table.
"My Blessed, World, has entered a deep slumber in advance. I don't know when he will wake up."
Then what should he do? Leonard nearly blurted out, but he could clearly sense that Mr. Fool hadn't finished speaking, so he held back the urge.
The Fool Klein swept his gaze across him.
"Next, I have a long-term commission for all members.
"Spread my name more widely, but don't clash with the orthodox churches. If necessary, you can choose to preach in a secret way.
"It will help me to wake up.
"Also, spread the various deeds of World as my Blessed and record them in the Church's Holy Bible. Of course, don't involve his privacy.
"Remember this: When The World wakes up, The Fool returns."
Klein wanted to increase the number of his anchors. This might be rather useful in the dream battle against the Lord of the Mysteries.
At the same time, he wanted to portray The World as a saint of the Church of The Fool, an angel beside the divine throne, so that this image could be shared with a large number of believers and obtain his own anchors.
To put it simply, Klein planned on getting a believer to contribute two anchors. After all, to him, be it The Fool or The World, they were just identities. Furthermore, the images created by the anchors wouldn't be uniform. They were all different, so it wouldn't affect him.
At the level of The Fool, the Church spread the names of deities, The Fool's Sacred Emblem, and various doctrines. They didn't have a specific image. For The World, he had many identities, such as German Sparrow, Dawn Dantès, and Merlin Hermes. There wouldn't be a fixed image.
"The reward is the convenience you have enjoyed in the past, the responses you have received, and the corresponding help you pray for in the future." The Fool Klein said without changing his tone, "After I fall asleep, I can also respond to prayers to a certain extent, but I won't respond every time. If there's really something very important that requires help, pray a few more times. "
He knew that after Antigonus entered an eternal slumber, he could make the dream manifest. As long as there was the right method, the sleeping deity could use the dream to respond to prayers to a certain extent.
Regarding this situation, the Tarot members present didn't find it difficult at all.
On the one hand, most of them were spreading the faith of The Fool, whether openly or secretly. On the other hand, it was very common for prayers to not receive a response to a deity. It was extremely rare for Mr. Fool to respond every time. They had almost never heard of such a situation elsewhere.
To be able to repeatedly pray and receive a response on important matters had already surpassed most clergymen of the orthodox Churches!
"Yes, Mr. Fool." Without any hesitation, the Tarot members all accepted the long-term commission.
Among them, The Star Leonard was the one who was the most eager and sincere.
To him, spreading Mr. Fool's faith and manuals was to awaken Klein.
This gave him the motivation to do things outside of his daily work.
At this moment, The Fool Klein nodded slightly and cast his gaze at Cattleya.
"The previous request — to gather all information regarding the Hidden Sage's sudden revival — is still valid.
"If you're willing to take on the risk, then take a step further and investigate the Hidden Sage's current state.
"It will be very dangerous. You can refuse, and the reward is a wish."
Cattleya thought for a moment and said, "That's right.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, does this have anything to do with your awakening? Does it involve the problem of how to survive the apocalypse? "
"Maybe, maybe not. I can't give you a definite answer right now. I just saw some images." This time, Klein didn't deliberately create a high-level persona of The Fool, because he was already the real Fool. "In addition, keep an eye on all the Beyonders of the Earth and Moon pathway."
Cattleya was silent for a while before she slowly said,
"I accept this commission."
The Fool Klein then turned his gaze to the other side and said to Sun Derrick, "That's right.
"Your mission is to protect the New City of Silver and New Moon City, as well as the Rorsted Archipelago. The more believers I have and the safer I am, the more likely I am to wake up.
"On this basis, consider how to expand the church and spread your faith.
"Your reward is to become my Blessed."
Sun's eyes suddenly heated up as he recalled the Chief's encouraging gaze when he pushed open the last door of the Giant King's Court.
He took a deep breath and said forcefully,
"Yes, Mr. Fool!"
Klein nodded and looked at Magicians Fors.
"You need to protect the House of Abraham and prevent them from being tempted by the stars.
"In addition, gather more information about the Fourth Epoch and figure out Mr. Door's state at that time. Figure out some of the hidden problems in the House of Abraham."
"These are all things I wish to do." Magicians Fors hesitated for a moment before indicating that she would do these things even without the commission.
The Fool Klein didn't say yes or no.
Instead, he said, "If you are willing, you can write biographies and stories for The World's different identities and publish them under different pseudonyms.
"The reward for the above commission is that when you have a chance of becoming a Planeswalker, you have to head to the cosmos and obtain my protection."
Although Klein knew that he could rely on his dreams to give a response to a certain extent in his slumber, he wasn't sure if he or the Lord of the Mysteries would have the advantage when the time came. Therefore, he hoped to use the method of completing the commission and paying "Him" to fix the more important matters in the form of a verbal contract. When the time came, even if he was at a disadvantage, he could use this invisible agreement to cleverly complete a response.
Planeswalker? Magicians Fors was taken aback.
Frankly speaking, she hadn't considered this problem at all. What she was worried about was the digestion of the Secrets Sorcerer and the Wanderer ritual.
Soon, she collected her thoughts.
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
Klein then cast his gaze at Emlyn.
"The siege of Rose School involves preparations for the end of the world, so it's quite dangerous. Even with angels involved, we still have to pay attention to our own safety.
"Your request is to collect the blessings, auras, and items given by the Primordial Moon from the Primordial Moon believers in Rose School as much as possible. These may be even more dangerous than a Level-1 seal."
At that moment, although Klein still maintained the tone of The Fool, his words already carried a hint of exhortation to a friend.
This made Audrey, who had initially calmed down, notice that something was different.
Recalling what Mr. Fool had just said to the other members, she sighed inwardly.
Just as he's about to enter his slumber, Mr. Fool's humanity seems to thicken …
Amidst Emlyn's surprise and puzzlement, Klein continued, "That's right.
"Apart from participating in the mission to annihilate Rose School, I hope that you can establish a pharmaceutical company and research on how to mass-produce drugs with magical effects."
"As long as it's mass-produced, it's impossible for it to have any magical effects," Emlyn instinctively replied.
The Fool Klein nodded.
"Looking for a compromise.
"Your main goal is to spread my name through this pharmaceutical company.
"The reward is also a wish."
This isn't a problem of danger, but whether it can be done or not … The simplest method is to give me a thousand Apothecary potions. I can set up an Apothecary factory and achieve mass production … Emlyn mumbled inwardly before replying seriously, "That's right.
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
Klein looked to the other side and said to Xio, "That's right.
"With the apocalypse approaching, be it the Red Priest or Demoness, they will become active. Your mission is to rely on the official factions to find out the whereabouts of the Red Priest pathway's three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and the corresponding Uniqueness. If there's a chance, find clues to confirm the Primordial Demoness's current condition. It's very dangerous."
Klein didn't mention the reward because he had already paid her in advance.
Xio had fulfilled her wish and held a ritual to become a Sequence 4 Imperative Mage.
As for the three Sequence 1 Conqueror Beyonder characteristics of the Red Priest pathway, Klein previously knew that one was in the hands of the Sauron family, the former royal family of Intis. One was in the hands of the Feysac royal family, the Einhorn family, and one was in the hands of the Rouen royal family, the Augustus family. Later, it was given to the Demoness Sect as a reward.
Of course, this was only a preliminary answer. The corresponding situation might've already changed.
The Sauron family had already declined during Rosell's era, so they might not have the Conqueror Beyonder characteristic or the corresponding Sealed Artifact. Klein even suspected that it had already been obtained by the Iron and Blood Cross Order.
The defeat in the previous war had caused considerable damage to the Einhorn family. Klein didn't rule out the possibility of a high-level angel dying or the loss of a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.
The whereabouts of the Conqueror Beyonder characteristic that the Augustus family had given to the Demoness Sect was currently the clearest, but Klein knew that the Red Angel evil spirit, Sauron Einhorn Medici, had always been eyeing it. Perhaps it had already succeeded, or perhaps it was being carried out.
There were currently no clues as to the corresponding Red Priest Uniqueness. The last time the mysterious World knew of it was during the Pale Disaster at the end of the Fourth Epoch.
