Uh … Fors was taken aback for a second, nearly suspecting that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Right on the heels of that, one thought after another uncontrollably surfaced in her mind:
Mr. World wants to take on this mission? That's right. He's in Baekeland.
But this is an investigation, not a murder. Dawn Dantès is already tragic enough. Let's spare him!
Eliminating the target of the investigation means that the investigation is a success? Because there's no need to investigate further …
What do I do? Should I still take on this mission? It's a total of 500 pounds. I just need to repeat what I previously discovered to receive at least 200 pounds. However, my competitor is Mr. World … Perhaps it's a collaboration, not a competition?
Eh, why would Mr. World be interested in this mission? He's actually paying attention to the framing of Baron Syndras or the assault on Member of Parliament Macht?
When Fors finally grasped the crux of the problem, The Hanging Man Alger and The Hermit Cattleya had already cast their gazes on The World, German Sparrow. To them, be it the framing of Baron Syndras, the assault on Member of Parliament Macht, or the wealthy merchant Dawn Dantès's donation of more than ten thousand pounds, they weren't matters that needed special attention. However, the fact that Mr. Fool's Blessed had taken the initiative to take on the investigation mission made the problem appear extremely complicated. It made them feel as though there was an important secret hidden within.
Emlyn didn't think too much about it, but he also realized that this seemingly ordinary investigation mission wasn't that easy. He originally planned on earning some pocket money to make up for the 5,000 pounds he was about to lose, but now, he suddenly didn't wish to speak.
Dawn Dantès really isn't simple. There's a huge problem with him, so much so that Mr. World took the initiative to take over the investigation? Or could it be that those two cases are more important and crucial than I imagined? Audrey's heart stirred as her eyes darted around slightly. Using the advantage of her position, she memorized the reactions of all the Tarot members.
Among them, Derrick was the only one who wasn't in the situation.
To him, wasn't it normal for everyone on Tarot to help each other? Wasn't it normal to accept a mission given by someone else and have the ability to complete it?
Audrey's gaze then turned back to the bottom of the long bronze table and asked with a hint of anticipation,
"Mr. World, do you wish to accept this mission?"
After returning to Baekeland, she searched for news of the past few months at sea and confirmed that Mr. World was the crazy adventurer, German Sparrow. She was deeply impressed by this gentleman who appeared polite but was actually dangerous. He had done many great things, and she felt that her adventurous feelings at sea had faded significantly.
Klein had already thought of a response. After controlling the fake World to raise his hand, he waited for Miss Justice to ask a question. At that moment, he made the German Sparrow wear a solemn expression as he said in a deep voice, "That's right.
"Dawn Dantès is an identity."
After a short but repeated consideration, Klein decided to reveal a portion of the information and set Dawn Dantès as the public alias of his Blessed!
He believed that if he chose to hide it this time, there would still be a risk of being exposed in the future. This was because Dawn Dantès was about to venture deep into Baekeland's high society. She could find clues to the Great Smog of Baekeland and other cases at any time. This way, it was very likely that he would need Miss Justice's help. When the time came, this Spectator would likely notice something and discover that World had been deliberately hiding it, and that Mr. Fool hadn't warned him.
This would lower her sense of belonging, and she might even suspect more things, triggering a crisis of trust in The Fool.
Two members didn't know each other and didn't know of each other's existence, but they worked together with tacit understanding. By completing the designated missions, they pieced together the overall goal. It looked beautiful, but in fact, it was very difficult to succeed, especially when the companion was a Mid-Sequence Beyonder of the Spectator pathway. It was impossible to hide from her!
Therefore, most of the time, being honest was a better, more effective, and less troublesome method than lying.
As for why he didn't directly say that Dawn Dantès was German Sparrow, it was because Klein didn't want to give the Tarot members the impression that he was the only Blessed who appeared.
Dawn Dantès is just an identity? Audrey acutely read the hidden meaning in this sentence and had a vague guess.
Then, she heard The World German Sparrow simply say, "I share an identity with my companion.
"I occasionally disguise myself as him."
"I occasionally disguise myself as him."
At this point, he swept his emotionless gaze at the Magicians.
Shared identity … Occasionally disguise myself as him … That tragic Dawn Dantès is The World German Sparrow? That wealthy businessman with kidney or prostate problems is The World German Sparrow? Magicians Fors felt as though she had been struck by lightning as her entire body stiffened.
As her brain went numb, she felt a baffling sense of lingering fear. She subconsciously felt that Xio's unintentional words made sense.
When a person's butler, valet, neighbors, and surroundings all had problems, the chances of him being normal wasn't high!
No, it's not that the street where Dawn Dantès lives or the butler he hired happened to have a secret, but because they had a secret, they were chosen by Dawn Dantès and German Sparrow! The one who was pitiful and miserable wasn't Dawn Dantès, but the things around him that were related to the Beyonders! I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked Xio to pray for the Goddess to bless him. This is more like a curse to The World German Sparrow … Fors suddenly shuddered, glad that she hadn't suggested to Dawn Dantès to seek treatment for kidney or prostate problems.
Otherwise, she suspected that she wouldn't be able to participate in this Tarot Gathering, or that she would be attending in the form of a Beyonder characteristic and be sold to the other members by The World.
Typically speaking, Mr. World shouldn't know that I'm a Magicians, but I had Leymano's Travels with me back then … He had used this spellbook and added demigod-level Beyonder powers to it! He must've secretly observed me, memorized my looks, and evaluated my value … The lingering fear in Fors's heart surged like a raging sea as her expression was filled with bitterness.
At this moment, she saw Mr. World sweep his cold gaze at her. Her regret instantly intensified into extreme regret.
Thankfully, thankfully, I didn't rush to answer. I didn't mention my impression of Dawn Dantès … When Fors gradually calmed down from her horror, she couldn't help but think of another question.
Were we protecting Dawn Dantès during the bodyguard mission, or was Dawn Dantès protecting us … Should I return the money to Mr. German Sparrow?
This … At times, Dawn Dantès is equivalent to Mr. World … Audrey was first alarmed before she felt that all her questions had been answered.
Fors did know Dawn Dantès, but she didn't know that he was Mr. World. Her clearly shocked reaction proved this point.
The reason why Dawn Dantès was more surprised to see me was because he recognized Lie. Although this mystical item had changed its appearance, it originated from the Beyonder characteristic provided by Mr. World. Perhaps it has some sort of connection with this crazy adventurer. After all, German Sparrow can also disguise himself as anyone and has the ability to change his appearance!
Although I've only asked Mr. The Hanging Man about what happens when an animal consumes the potion, the ingredients I've gathered are usually double. Mr. World might've guessed that there's another Spectator beside me, so he's wary of Susie who's observing the hall from the shadows … Others might not suspect animals, but Mr. World is experienced. He must've come into contact with Beyonder creatures, so it's very normal for him to be wary of such matters.
That is to say, Dawn Dantès, no, Mr. World German Sparrow already knew that I was Justice, but he didn't choose to make contact or communicate with me. Yes, there's nothing wrong with his handling of the situation. Under such circumstances, unless he directly said it, it would be very difficult for me to guess or believe him. And to say something related to Tarot in Saint Samuel Cathedral … Th-that's just too crazy!
After a brief moment of shock and astonishment, most of Audrey's emotions quickly calmed down, leaving only excitement.
Apart from Magicians Fors, whom she had introduced to the club, this was the first time she was meeting the other members of Tarot in real life!
It feels like history is being written at this moment! Hmm, Mr. World, as well as Mr. Fool's other Blessed … Hmm, they should also be considered World. Why did they create the identity of Dawn Dantès? What are they trying to do?
The matter of Baron Syndras being framed, Member of Parliament Macht being attacked, and the matter of them donating to establish a bursary foundation are really more complicated and important than I imagined … Why do I suddenly feel like the upper echelons of the kingdom aren't calm? I had this feeling when the Great Smog of Prince Edessak's death happened. It's even more intense today …
Now that I know of Dawn Dantès's identity, I might be able to participate and cooperate from the side to reduce the risk of Mom and Dad being implicated, as well as the risk of the innocent dying … Amidst her thoughts, Audrey quickly made a decision. It was to agree to her father's request to join the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation. Then, she mumbled inwardly.
Isn't it reasonable for Mr. Tarot World's Charity Bursary Foundation to have Tarot's Justice join?
The Hanging Man Alger and The Hermit Cattleya weren't too surprised that Dawn Dantès was The World, an amalgamation of Mr. Fool's Blessed. The most common thought that flashed through their minds was:
Something major is about to happen in Baekeland!
PS: There's a Gold League Alliance update today.
PS2: Recommending a book, The Great Foppish Sons of the Ming Dynasty. He looks ferocious like he's a gangster, but he's actually a classmate with excellent morals. He said that he would treat me to an extremely large mantis shrimp!
