Dark red beams of light soared up and condensed into different human figures on both sides of the long bronze table.
The eternal silence above the gray fog was broken as the magnificent and ancient palace was filled with an indescribable vitality.
Just as Audrey regained her perception of her surroundings, she prepared to stand up and greet the person at the end of the long bronze table.
At this moment, as a senior Spectator, she acutely sensed that there was something different about this gathering.
There were two more members than last week!
One of them was a man sitting to the right of Mr. Moon. The other was a lady sitting to the left of The Hermit.
Audrey first subconsciously felt happy for Tarot's development before following her "professional" instincts and quickly made an observation.
Due to her own position, it was easier for her to size up the gentleman diagonally opposite her than the lady who was two people away from her. Therefore, she focused most of her attention on him.
Black hair … Green eyes … No coat … Vest and shirt … His sitting posture is a little awkward. He doesn't seem to like sitting properly usually … His height is estimated to be about 180 centimeters … His bearing is a little lackadaisical … He's rather tense … With just a glance, Audrey "read" quite a bit of information from the rather blurry figure.
Then, she noticed something different.
The gentleman was quickly surveying his surroundings.
There was nothing wrong with such behavior. Anyone who came to such an unfamiliar and secretive place would definitely subconsciously size up the other members, attempting to grasp their characteristics and the general situation to calm themselves down. But the problem was that the gentleman's gaze was moving too quickly!
His gaze swept past The Moon, The Hanging Man, and the other members without stopping.
To Audrey, this was a very clear phenomenon. It meant that the gentleman wasn't observing the environment or scrutinizing the members, but was looking for someone!
He was looking for someone with a clear target!
Audrey instantly felt a little excited. She believed that the newcomer knew one of the members present!
Who could it be? She observed for another second and realized that the man diagonally opposite her had his gaze fixed on The World's German Sparrow.
Audrey was secretly delighted as if she had discovered some secret. She thought to herself in sudden realization,
The newcomer is friends with Mr. World. At the very least, the World knows him in real life and knows that he's a member of the Tarot …
Or rather, it was Mr. World who invited him to the gathering … No, that's unlikely. If that's the case, the newcomer would be more confident and wouldn't be in such a hurry to find someone he knows. His gaze would definitely linger on the other members …
Furthermore, this performance also proves that he isn't Mr. Fool's Blessed.
What's his relationship with Mr. World?
Audrey stood up with the thought of continuing to observe. She turned to the end of the long bronze table.
During this process, she took the opportunity to naturally glance at the new member beside Ma 'am Hermit.
She's looking at Miss Magicians … Her height … Xio has finally passed the inspection and joined the gathering? Audrey recognized the other party's identity as she happily lifted her skirt and bowed at the figure shrouded in gray fog.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool ~"
Just as she finished her brisk greeting, she discovered another problem.
Mr. Fool had undergone a subtle change compared to before.
This mighty existence seemed to be more harmonious with the entire palace, the entire space, and the entire gray fog. He was more unified, and his aura became more profound and lofty, like the sea or the sky.
This feeling can't be described with words … Mr. Fool has recovered further and has taken back more authority in the divine kingdom? Audrey's eyes darted around slightly, filled with curiosity and joy. There was also a hint of pride and arrogance.
At this moment, The Hanging Man Alger and Cattleya also saw the two new members. They also noticed that the lady was relatively short and had a covert interaction with Miss Magicians. She was both inexperienced and familiar with the Tarot Gathering. At the very least, she wasn't like the man in the white shirt and black vest. Only when everyone began bowing did he hurriedly stand up.
In addition, they also sensed that the new male member seemed to pay special attention to The World, German Sparrow. They had many guesses out of nowhere.
These thoughts only echoed in their minds without expressing themselves. The Hanging Man and The Hermit followed Miss Justice to complete the first part of the gathering without revealing any abnormalities.
As for Derrick, he was purely happy because the number of members of the Tarot Club had increased again! On the one hand, he was filled with a sense of superiority as a veteran to the new members. On the other hand, he felt that there were too many saviors of the apocalypse.
After searching for a while, Leonard determined that the person at the bottom of the long bronze table was Klein Moretti. This was because his figure was similar to the German Sparrow in the information.
He's hiding his true identity … He didn't even relax at such a secret gathering. He's put on two layers of disguise. I have to be careful too … Just as this thought flashed through Leonard's mind, he saw the girl sitting at the first seat on Mr. Fool's left stand up, leading everyone to bow.
He was taken aback for a moment and didn't immediately react. It was especially eye-catching in an environment where everyone had already stood up.
After a second, Leonard snapped to his senses and hurriedly stood up to greet her.
Opposite him, Xio glanced at him, equating him and Fors to a certain extent.
Fors had the same thoughts as well. However, she had equated the gentleman opposite her to Xio to a certain extent. This was because he didn't appear too reliable when they first met.
"This is The Star, and this is Judgment. Have a seat and introduce yourselves." The Fool Klein raised his right hand and casually pointed.
The Star always makes me feel like a lady's code name … As Leonard thought helplessly, he focused and followed the order of introduction to label each member.
Miss Justice seems to be a girl, but perhaps like Klein, she's put on two layers of disguise … She's the more optimistic and cheerful type. Although I can't see the details of her attire, she looks very tasteful …
Mr. The Hanging Man. Boorish and reserved. He should be a rather straightforward but rash person …
Miss Magicians. The way she looks at me is a little odd. From time to time, she would glance at Klein. It's a mystery what she's thinking. Overall, she's rather ordinary without any special characteristics …
Mr. Sun. Very tall. The way he speaks sounds like his voice is still changing. Although he's silent, he seems very friendly …
Miss Hermit. Uh, Ma 'am. She has a mature and steady bearing. She's likely an experienced Beyonder …
Mr. Moon. Relatively young and a little reserved. For some baffling reason, he makes me feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't recall. I'll observe him later …
Miss Judgment. Very short. Her characteristics are obvious, but I'm not sure if she's also put on a second layer of disguise …
World. Very, very gloomy. This should be his disguise … Yes, it might also be a manifestation of the truth in his heart … He wasn't a demigod in the past, which means that there's no lack of Mid-Sequence Beyonders in this gathering. I wonder if I'm the weakest …
As Leonard scrutinized the other members, Xio Derecha also used her Sheriff powers to extract the characteristics of the different members and memorized them.
Noble lady … Sailor or crew member … Relatively young, a little antisocial, but nothing serious … Powerful, at least the leader of a medium-sized team … Arrogant, from a good background … Undisciplined, not steady enough … Gloomy, terrifying …
Amidst their thoughts, the other members finished their self-introductions. Cattleya turned to the end of the long bronze table and bowed.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, I didn't receive Rosell's diary this time."
I didn't receive it … Does that mean that Queen Mystic didn't reply? I wonder what Bernadette is busy with … The Fool Klein nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Let's begin the transaction.
Let's begin the transaction. "
As he spoke, Audrey paid attention to The Hermit and The Hanging Man's reactions. She realized that they hadn't noticed that Mr. Fool had become even more towering and lofty.
Am I the only one who noticed it? Audrey's eyes darted around in thought. She sighed a little, but she was also a little happy.
Of course, she also knew that Ma 'am Hermit and Mr. The Hanging Man didn't dare to look at Mr. Fool too much, especially the former. Most of the time, she only dared to stare at the edge of the table in front of Mr. Fool.
Table edge … Eh, there's an additional Card of Blasphemy! Audrey's gaze froze as she retracted it in pleasant surprise.
With her intuition as a Spectator, she inexplicably believed that the obtaining of a new Card of Blasphemy and The World's German Sparrow's psychological problems were likely the same thing.
She deliberated for a moment and looked around.
"I don't have anything I want."
Cattleya, Sun Derrick, Moon Emlyn, and Magicians Fors were already prepared and were about to advance. At that moment, there was no need for them. It was the same for The Hanging Man, Alger, who was still digesting the news.
On the other hand, Leonard had the intention to purchase a mystical item, but due to the lack of a demonstration, he didn't know if he should speak up. All he could do was divert his attention to the matter of Mr. Fool needing Rosell's diary.
After selling Tinder, he wasn't lacking in money, and the experience of using Creeping Hunger made him feel that a powerful mystical item was rather useful.
At this moment, Magicians Fors glanced at the silent Xio and took the initiative to look opposite her.
"Mr. The Hanging Man, I have a material that I wish to entrust to the Artisan to make into a mystical item."
She was referring to Xio's ancient wraith dust.
The Hanging Man Alger shook his head.
"That Artisan has been controlled by members of Rose School who believe in the Primordial Moon. This is what I know. The subsequent matters have been handed over to Ma 'am Hermit to handle."
Rose School … Primordial Moon believers … Handed over to Ma 'am Hermit to handle … Leonard and Xio looked around and suddenly felt that the gathering they were participating in wasn't as loose as they had imagined.
They were secretly moving in the shadows of The World!
