On both sides of the long, mottled bronze table, blurry figures stretched out and stabilized under the protection of the crimson light. The surroundings were as quiet and empty as ever, as though no living being had trespassed in tens of millions of years.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool ~" Audrey's light and cheerful voice quickly echoed in the magnificent palace that was propped up by stone pillars.
Klein nodded with a smile as he watched the members complete a simple greeting under Miss Justice's lead.
Among them, Cattleya was undoubtedly the more taciturn one. From Audrey's point of view, she had a lot on her mind.
After the voices subsided and the members took their seats, The Fool Klein first swept a glance at Miss Justice, making the Psychiatrist instantly understand what he meant. She didn't raise her hand slightly and spoke first. Following that, she looked at Cattleya and chuckled nonchalantly.
"Tell Bernadette that she can use certain things to exchange for some answers."
Bernadette … Upon hearing this familiar name, and not Queen Mystic, the owner of the Dawn, or the leader of the Element Dawn, Cattleya understood that Mr. Fool already knew everything. She couldn't hide her thoughts from "Him" at all!
This made her heart turn heavier as she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fear. She was momentarily at a loss as to what attitude or words she should use to respond.
From her point of view, Mr. Fool's true meaning was to convey this message, but he could only convey this message. He couldn't say anything else, nor could he give any hints!
Cattleya believed that she knew very well what he was implying.
Bernadette? This is the name of a common female with Intis. Who could it be? What answer does she wish to exchange for? What relationship does she have with Ma 'am Hermit? Ma 'am Hermit made a private request, and The Fool's answer is "yes"? No, that's not the case. That's definitely not the case. If it's a private request, a reasonable request, Mr. Fool wouldn't have mentioned it in front of us. "He" directly responded to Ma 'am Hermit's prayer … Is "He" warning? Audrey forgot to observe the other members as a series of questions flashed through her mind. Following that, with the acuity of the Spectator pathway, she grasped Mr. Fool's true intentions.
After that, she had a certain guess.
"Ma 'am Hermit has secretly hinted to Ma' am Bernadette about our Tarot. As she wishes to obtain some answers … Mr. Fool isn't too satisfied with this, so he directly pointed it out and gave a first-time offender a warning?
"Really, how can you tell others about the gathering? I didn't even tell Susie! This will bring danger to everyone. Thankfully, Mr. Fool is here! "
Audrey nearly forgot about her image and etiquette as she puffed her cheeks. This was the first time she realized that not all the Tarot members had a sense of belonging like she did. They didn't worship and believe in Mr. Fool so much.
The Hanging Man Alger, Magicians Fors, and Emlyn had similar questions and guesses, but they were all concerned about different things.
As Alger looked forward to what else Mr. Fool would do, he thought hard about who the common female name of Bernadette, Bernadette, represented. Why was it worth it for the thoughtful Hermit to risk revealing some information about the Tarot? While Fors was worried that the existence of the Tarot would be leaked, she had instantly conceived a story of a spy and a counter-spy. Emlyn watched with schadenfreude, believing The Hermit to be foolish.
Heh, even our Sanguine Ancestor treats Mr. Fool as an equal, and even sent me, a special envoy, to be groomed. You, a fellow who isn't even a demigod, actually want to do something under Mr. Fool's watch? Do you have a death wish? Indeed, I'm unable to understand the thoughts of mortals. Rosell The Great once said that worms that can only survive in summer have no way of knowing what the snow looks like … Emlyn leaned back in a relaxed manner as he shook his head without hiding anything.
Derrick didn't think too much about it, but he vaguely felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. He asked, half curious and half puzzled,
He asked in a half-curious and half-puzzled manner, "Mr. Fool, who is Bernadette?"
Good question! I thought that Miss Justice would be the one to take the fall. Yes, she seems a little angry, so much so that she doesn't wish to speak for the time being … Klein marveled inwardly as he casually replied,
"Rosell's eldest daughter.
"The owner of the Dawn.
"The leader of the Element Dawn."
He revealed Bernadette's identity one by one, making sure that she no longer had any secrets in front of the Tarot members.
And the reason why he used the owner of the Dawn to replace Queen Mystic was because Klein felt that it was impossible for The Fool to address Bernadette as queen.
The owner of the Dawn … Queen Mystic! She's actually the eldest daughter of Rosell The Great! Ha, The Hermit, I can confirm that you're Admiral of Stars Cattleya. So the rumors of you falling out with Queen Mystic were fake … The Hanging Man Alger felt a sense of excitement. He felt that the repressed and constrained feeling that he had been feeling for the past three months had instantly vanished.
This made the composed him unable to help but mock The Hermit inwardly.
Rosell The Great once said that those who play with fire will definitely burn themselves. And Admiral of Stars, you actually dared to challenge the perception of a deity!
At that moment, Alger was rather thankful. He was thankful that although he had done some petty tricks in an attempt to figure out Mr. Fool's identity, goals, and present state, it didn't involve any outsiders, so there was no leakage. Therefore, he didn't suffer a direct beating.
As he had introduced the Four Kings and the Seven Pirate Admirals back then, Audrey and company quickly confirmed that Bernadette was Queen Mystic, a demigod who reigned supreme over the Five Seas. They were all astonished that the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle was still alive and had lived to this day. Furthermore, she had become a famous figure.
The answer Queen Mystic wishes to obtain is in Rosell's diary? Combining the events and words, Audrey vaguely guessed Bernadette's goal. She believed that the emperor's eldest daughter wanted to figure out the truth behind her father's assassination.
At that moment, Cattleya had already regained her ability to think. She turned to look at the end of the long bronze table and said without any hopes of getting lucky, "Yes, I made some mistakes.
"Yes, I have made some mistakes. I will not defend myself. They were indeed mistakes.
"Mr. Fool, no matter how you deal with me, or even kill me, I'm willing to accept it."
Hypocrite … If Mr. Fool wishes to punish you, do you have a way to resist? The Hanged Man scoffed from the other side. He could tell that there was something wrong with such simple words.
Ma 'am Hermit is still a little afraid … Audrey could sense the hidden fear in Cattleya's words and the minute movements she made as she turned to the side.
From her point of view, people who deliberately emphasized that they were willing to be executed were often afraid of death.
Magicians Fors found her composure from The Fool's calm attitude. She believed that Tarot's situation hadn't been leaked, or rather, that the leaked information wasn't important. Therefore, just like Emlyn, she waited curiously and expectantly to see what kind of punishment Mr. Fool would mete out.
Sun still hadn't figured out what had happened. He didn't understand why Ma 'am Hermit would suddenly request for punishment.
At that moment, seeing Mr. Fool's brief silence, Cattleya restrained her unease. She raised her head slightly and observed the existence behind the thick gray fog without leaving a trace. She attempted to grasp the other party's true intentions so that she could make a more accurate response. She didn't want to make another mistake and anger him, making the situation irreversible.
Her black eyes were dark purple as they suffused a mysterious aura. She saw through the gray fog and saw The Fool.
Suddenly, Cattleya's eyes burned as illusory blood flowed out.
Following that, an evil, terrifying, depraved, and indescribable roar sounded in her ears. It instantly filled her senses with extreme pain as her body convulsed and trembled uncontrollably.
Her face, the back of her hands, and the areas that weren't covered by her clothes quickly cracked open, revealing her flesh. Black worms and white moths squirmed inside, about to form indescribable eyes.
Cattleya's tragic cries and painful grunts echoed above the gray fog. The Hanging Man Alger, Emlyn, Magicians Fors, and company looked at each other, as though they could directly sense the pain she was suffering.
At the same time, the blurry image became clearer, allowing them to clearly see the mutation of The Hermit's body.
The disgusting and grotesque scene frightened Audrey so much that she retracted her gaze. She straightened her back and looked straight ahead, not daring to move.
Although the others' reactions weren't as exaggerated, they had the same meaning.
The True Creator's ravings are indeed useful … The Fool Klein, who was shrouded in the gray fog, sighed from the bottom of his heart when he saw this scene.
The reason why he didn't immediately respond to Cattleya's request for punishment was that he wanted to confirm if her eyes were special and if they could spy on him!
For this, he had hidden some of the mysterious spatial powers that he had stirred ahead of time in the gray fog that enveloped him. Its purpose was to "transfer" the observation to Tinder once anyone used their Beyonder powers to see through the obstacles!
This was equivalent to the owner of the Beyonder powers directly using their psyche to measure the item that had been corrupted by the True Creator. Therefore, without Klein using the gray fog to suppress the effects, Cattleya naturally heard the True Creator's ravings. First, the "organ" that used Beyonder powers was severely damaged, and then, it was filled with pain, resulting in a mutation!
If Admiral of Stars hadn't observed her, Klein's plan would have been for her to apologize to the Tarot members. Everyone would then discuss a punishment to reflect "democracy."
And no matter how "democracy" it was, ignoring the small punishment, the big punishment would definitely involve stirring some of the mysterious space's powers to link Cattleya to Tinder!
After waiting for two seconds, Klein knew when to stop. He gently caressed the area with his palms, allowing the gray fog to silently suppress the True Creator's ravings and calm Cattleya's mutation.
Admiral of Stars's trembling began to calm down at a discernible pace. The cracks in her flesh gradually closed as her thoughts returned to her, allowing her to sense everything around her once again.
At this moment, The Hanging Man, Alger, said in a deep voice, as though he was warning himself:
"Do not pry into God …"
