As Klein's understanding of mysticism and the Beyonder domain deepened, and as he gradually experimented with some of the abilities of the space above the gray fog, he no longer felt as guilty as before when facing Justice, The Hanging Man, and The Sun. He no longer wanted to maintain an unfathomable image to prevent the members of the Tarot from keenly seeing through his disguise.
He now knew that although the deities of this World were powerful and bizarre, they were definitely not omniscient and omnipotent. This description could only be described by the legendary Creator who created everything, and only the City of Silver still recited it.
Deities had limitations, and deities could also fall into trouble. This was something that Klein could confirm at the moment. Be it the Book of Storms or The Revelation of Evernight, they more or less involved the corresponding content.
Therefore, Klein had consciously added a "persona" in the recent Tarot Gatherings. He wanted to slowly portray himself as a powerhouse who was close to a deity but was unable to move freely due to a certain reason.
This way, even if he occasionally showed that he didn't understand certain matters and occasionally asked for help, it wouldn't arouse the suspicion of the Tarot members.
Of course, the premise of all of this was that, through his previous attempts and the powerful strength displayed by his Adorer, Aztec, he had implanted the image of a deity into the hearts of Justice, The Hanging Man, and The Sun.
Phew, I hope that this portrayal will succeed. That way, I won't have to worry too much about not being able to answer their questions in the future … Of course, I still have to be tense when it comes to things that are considered "common sense." I can't show any fear … Klein tapped the edge of the long ancient table with his finger and chuckled.
"I want to issue a mission."
Mission? Audrey's ears moved slightly as her eyes widened. She was surprised, expectant, and perturbed.
She clearly remembered that this was the first time Mr. Fool had officially issued a mission!
Although "He" had previously made some commissions, they were all paid in advance. It looked like a random collection mission to comply with the principle of equivalent exchange … This time, "He" used the word "promulgation" … As a Telepathic Reader, Audrey was already very good at reading hidden meanings from a few words.
At the same time, she keenly discovered that although The Hanging Man didn't seem to have changed, he was actually extremely nervous. As for Sun, he was ignorant and took it as a very normal thing.
"You can choose to accept it or not." With the help of the Clown's powers, Klein made his tone sound rather relaxed. "My other Blessed has arrived in Baekeland. He wishes to complete something, but it's not convenient for him to appear himself."
As for the other Blessed … The Hanging Man nodded as though he was in thought. He wasn't surprised at all.
In his eyes, it was a tacit fact that a powerful existence at the level of a deity like Mr. Fool had multiple Blessed.
I wonder what the Sequence of Mr. Fool's Blessed is … Hmm, I actually still owe "His" previous Blessed a bounty … Although Mr. Fool's reward was paid by The Hanging Man, and "He" isn't interested in money, I did pray with the intention of seeking help. Furthermore, Rear Admiral Hurricane was killed by that Blessed … His Blessed still needs a certain amount of funds … Audrey thought guiltily.
Frankly speaking, in her eyes, 30,000 pounds and a large plantation was indeed a huge amount of wealth, but that was all. It wouldn't have an obvious impact on her life.
It's good if I have it, but it doesn't matter if I don't. Hmm, I still feel a little heartache, a little … Audrey nodded to herself sincerely in her heart.
As a girl who had yet to reach adulthood, ignoring the large plantation, she actually didn't have absolute control over the remaining 30,000 pounds. She could only follow the arrangements of her father, Earl Of Hall, and buy some shares of the Baekeland Arms Corporation. She then invested in a company that strived to introduce some ironclad warship technology into the field of commercial ships.
In the end, the bounty she received as pocket money was only 5,000 pounds. However, her fixed annuity income had increased by at least 2,000 pounds from the original 15,000 to 25,000 pounds.
Seeing that Justice and the others didn't say a word, Klein issued a mission.
"What he wants to accomplish is to assassinate the Republic of Intis's ambassador to the Kingdom of Rouen, Bakerland Jean Madan."
"Assassinate the Republic of Intis's ambassador?" Audrey couldn't control herself as she asked in surprise.
This was an act that would cause a dispute between the two countries, or even cause a war! As a qualified noble lady, the first thing that came to her mind was international relations.
As for the problem of Mr. Fool not doing it himself, she felt that it was only natural.
How could there be an important figure who would always help his subordinates?
After the kingdom lost the war on the east coast of Balam, His Majesty the King didn't personally take part in the war. At most, he would change a general and send new troops.
Well, it's said that His Majesty the King wanted to take part in the war himself, but he was stopped by the nobles and ministers …
The Hanging Man Alger was only slightly surprised by this mission. His attention was focused on something else.
Indeed, Mr. Fool is still unable to deeply interfere with the real World … My guess is correct … I wonder how much influence "He" can have on us after establishing a connection … Can he easily take our lives? Feeling a little smug, Alger gradually let his thoughts wander.
Derrick, on the other hand, listened with a blank look in his eyes.
What is the Republic of Intis? What's an ambassador? This patchwork of Jotun is very strange!
Klein looked around and maintained his relaxed attitude.
"Which one of you is willing to accept this mission?"
"What kind of reward do you want?"
Uh … I can't convince myself to kill an innocent person for no reason … And this might very well lead to a disaster, a disaster that stems from war … Audrey, who wanted to raise her hand, hesitated.
At this moment, The Hanging Man chuckled and said, "I heard that this Ambassador Bakerland is also the head of intelligence for the Republic of Intis in the kingdom.
"I heard that this Ambassador Bakerland is also the head of the Intis Republic's intelligence agency in the kingdom. He secretly supported the bloody demonstrations and planned some incidents that damaged the relationship between the nobles and the wealthy. He also spread a lot of rumors to incite the people to oppose the government.
He seemed to see Justice's hesitation and described Bakerland's dark side in detail.
Then, he added,
"I'm not sure if this ambassador is a Beyonder, but many clues indicate that he might very well be."
"He has quite a number of Beyonders around him, Beyonders from the Intis intelligence agency. And this department has long been influenced by the original royal family, the Sauron family. They control the early Sequences of the Hunter pathway."
"Besides, whether or not a war will break out between the two countries depends on whether the upper echelons of both sides want to fight. It has nothing to do with the life and death of a diplomat."
After the assassination of Rosell The Great, the Intis underwent a few major upheavals before finally maintaining a stable republican system. The Sauron family suffered a cruel blow during the Rosell era, and their strength in all aspects had greatly declined. They could only helplessly accept this reality and change their goal to fighting for seats in the parliament. They also secretly influenced the country's intelligence agency and a small number of troops.
After listening to the information provided by The Hanging Man, the hesitation in Audrey's heart disappeared. She nodded elegantly.
"In recent years, the Feysac Empire has expanded rapidly. It has successively defeated the kingdom and the Republic of Intis on the east coast of Balam and in the Highlands of Stars. As long as the problem is pushed to them, the upper echelons and citizens of the Intis Republic can accept it and be willing to believe it."
Audrey didn't know much about politics, but with a father who was a Member of Parliament and a hereditary earl, she had still seen and heard a lot of things.
Regardless of whether it was to shirk responsibility or to divert internal conflicts, the northern barbarians, who had always been unpopular, were the favorite targets of the nobles and ministers. They were also the easiest targets to use.
As for whether it was done by them or not, that wasn't important.
Of course, more than a hundred years ago, this role was played by the Intis Republic and Rosell.
After pondering for a few seconds, Audrey looked at the end of the long bronze table with a little apprehension and guilt.
"Mr. Fool, I can attempt to complete this mission, but I can't guarantee success."
On the one hand, she planned to find her father to confirm if Ambassador Bakerland was really the head of the Intis intelligence agency. On the other hand, she had no intention of doing it herself. Be it a Spectator or a Telepathist, they weren't the type who were good at combat. She could only try her best to gather as much information on Ambassador Bakerland in high society before entrusting the mission to him.
Hmm, I can get Xio and Fors to get Mr. A to do it … Or find a few other hosts of the Beyonder circles … I can't expose myself … This matter has to be kept secret. Who knows if there might be an Intis intelligence agent lurking in those circles … I wonder how much money I'll have to pay. 5,000 pounds might not be enough … Audrey began to think of her future plans.
Klein didn't have extravagant hopes that the Sequence 8 Miss Justice would succeed.
He nodded slightly and said, "What do you wish to receive in return?"
"The formula for Psychiatrist." Audrey blurted out. Then, she added hesitantly, "As well as the corresponding Beyonder ingredients. Hmm … This can be discussed after the mission is completed. If I don't succeed, I'll bear the cost myself. I-I still owe your adorer a bounty."
Bounty? So the bounty has been given to Miss Justice … 10,000 pounds, that's 5,000 pounds … Shrouded in gray fog, Klein thought for a few seconds about how much Ambassador Bakerland was worth. In the end, he believed that he was definitely more expensive than Rear Admiral Hurricane Zillinges.
"Sure," Klein replied in a normal tone.
At this moment, The Hanging Man Alger said, "I'll also accept this mission.
"I will also accept this mission. The reward can be determined after the mission is completed."
"Didn't you return to the sea?" Audrey asked in surprise.
"Just because I'm not in Baekeland doesn't mean that I can't assassinate Ambassador Bakerland," Alger said with a smile without giving a direct explanation.
Sun, who was beside him, couldn't join in the conversation.
Klein nodded in agreement.
"Alright."
