Praise the Mushroom Master!Chapter 214 Praise the Mushroom Master!

Do you think that "the world" will choose to contact you directly because its identity has been revealed?

Klein looked at Alger, who was maintaining a smile on his face but could never get a response from the "world," and thought leisurely and with a bit of evil amusement.

If "The World" is just an ordinary Tarot Club member, he might choose to communicate with you alone later to talk about something about the sea, for example, the cooperation between two pirate captains with official identities.

But he is not, he is my follower, and even more so myself... I can wait until the end of this Tarot Club and then contact you through the Fool's retelling...

This can prevent Gehrman Sparrow from exposing the "world" to other members, and it can also show you that The Fool has many agents in the "real world".

In the silent and awkward atmosphere, Alger almost couldn't keep the smile on his face. He looked at the "world" sitting in the last seat without any reaction and was no different from usual, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:

Could it be that I was really wrong? The "world" actually has nothing to do with the "mad captain" and Admiral Aurora whose surname is suspected to be "Sparrow"?

No, that's not right. Anyway, I'd better follow my own plan and find what I need now in the Tarot Club...

Alger briefly pondered how to respond, then naturally lowered his voice and laughed in a low voice:

"It seems that no one is interested in this news. That's fine, but I would like to purchase a potion formula."

"I hope to obtain the Sequence 5 formula of the 'Sailor' pathway. If you have any clues, I can exchange it for the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 6."

"…What method?"

Sharon turned to look at Alger and asked in a very restrained tone. After listening to Miss Temperance's question, Alger hesitated for a moment and said to everyone:

"The extraordinary characteristics of 'Devil', 'Mechanical Expert' or 'Notary'." Alger added: "The extraordinary characteristics of 'Mechanical Expert' currently exist in the form of a magical item."

Oh, there are no other members of the Orthodox Church here except me. At present, although at least four members of this gathering are from Loen, Mr. "Sun" is from Silver City.

The few new members were most likely extraordinary people from the Southern Continent. In short, they had nothing to do with the Church of the Eternal Sun.

…Even if they are related, those who are able to join Mr. Fool's Tarot Club are definitely not fanatics of the Eternal Sun.

What's more, the sea is the territory of the Lord of Storms, and the "sailors" are the darlings of the sea.

Who could have guessed that I had previously intercepted and killed a ship of Beyonders from the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun that was attacked by the Rose School? Even if they had guessed, would they have sent Saints to hunt us down? At most, they would have been issued a wanted warrant. Even some ordinary Sequence Fives would not be able to do anything to me...

Alger couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had already thought it over carefully before he asked for the formula.

What he said was completely valid whether it was in the Tarot Club or in the Church of Storms. Even in the Kingdom of Loen, the Church of the Eternal Sun was a cult that was on par with the Aurora Society.

Of course, in terms of the ability to attract hatred, the Aurora Society is still better. Not to mention that the Aurora Society was a complete terrorist organization before, the fact that the Real Creator was backstabbed by the Lord of Storms made the Aurora Society better than the "Eternal Sun" Church in front of the Church of Storms.

After all, compared to the "True Creator" and the "Eternal Blazing Sun", one is the "victim" and the other is the "accomplice". Compared to the "victim" who has the ability to beat him up after fully recovering, the "accomplice" who is as strong as himself is obviously less valued.

Sharon was silent for a moment, and ultimately did not continue to respond to Mr. The Hanged Man's question, which made Alger on the side feel a little disappointed.

It's not that Sharon is incapable of obtaining a Sequence 5 formula, but one reason is that she is now on Klein's "Lost Homeland" and it is unclear when she will have an opportunity to obtain the "Sailor" pathway Sequence 5 formula.

Secondly, since the "Sailor" path has been monopolized by the Storm Church for many years, if Sharon deliberately goes to look for the formula of the "Sailor" path, there is a high probability that she will be targeted by people from the Storm Church.

Therefore, Sharon, who is a wanted criminal of the Rose School, has no need to take this risk.

Sequence Five could be considered a mid-sequence even in the ancient times of this world. If one rashly searches for the formula, the Church of the Storm would most likely notice it and secretly track down the seeker.

For a demigod, the rewards and risks of a Sequence 6 Beyonder and being targeted by the Church of Storms were clearly not equal to each other, so Sharon did not choose to accept Alger's commission.

It seems that I still have to go to the primitive island I discovered earlier and look for clues about the "Blasphemy Card" there... Alger was sighing in his heart when he heard a voice suddenly coming from his right.

"I can provide you with the formula for Sequence 5 'Ocean Songster'."

This is... Hearing someone call out the name of this sequence, Alger turned his head sharply and saw Mr. "White Tower" adjusting the monocle on his right eye and smiling at him.

He immediately collected his thoughts, lowered his voice and asked seriously,

"What kind of compensation do you need? I can only offer the three Beyonder characteristics I mentioned earlier. The price of a Sequence 6 Beyonder characteristic is basically the same as the price of a Sequence 5 formula."

"Just bring me the magical item from the Mechanical Expert." The High-Dimensional Overlooker said casually, and materialized a piece of paper from his hand: "If you need the Demigod of the Storm Path and the formula of Sequence Three later, I can provide it to you."

"However, higher sequence formulas will have a certain premium. If you want to exchange for the demigod potion formula, you need to provide me with two extraordinary characteristics of sequence five. The same goes for sequence three. At that time, it will be two demigod characteristics."

"These Beyonder properties can be obtained in any way you want. I will accept even the Sealed Objects."

"You should know that these formulas are hard to come by, and my prices are not high."

Don't you see that Ince Zangwill dared to use a Level 0 Sealing Artifact in order to become a demigod? Although Adam was involved in this, it was still enough to show how difficult it was to become a demigod.

Needless to say, the formula of the demigod has been analyzed by the High-Dimensional Overlooker himself after taking the ointment; and although the High-Dimensional Overlooker has not yet been promoted to the Sequence Three "Sea King".

However, even if Alger encountered some "adventure" and his promotion speed increased to an abnormally terrifying level, his promotion speed would not be faster than his. By that time, the formula of "Sea King" would naturally be at his fingertips.

Not to mention, there are many paths of omniscience and omnipotence that can be interchanged. If that doesn't work, after helping the real Creator to take back some of his authority, he can give Alger a new path. For example, he can make Alger a real "Hanged Man" and make his path match the title of Master Controller.

Of course, if the standard of "adventure" is too high, then the high-dimensional overwatchers will have no way to help. For example, the Lord of Storms personally helped Alger act, Alger was actually the Lord of Storms' divine vessel, Adam threw away Amon and prepared to help Alger become God.

However, these were completely impossible things and probably only appeared in Alger's imagination.

The reason why the high-dimensional overwatchers need so many extraordinary characteristics is, on the one hand, to create an "extraordinary industrial revolution" on Earth in the future to impact the structure of the extraordinary world and the current belief system of gods; on the other hand, it is also to use these extraordinary characteristics to feed the "primitive hunger" that is still in their hands.

The High-Dimensional Overlooker has not forgotten the pie he painted for "Primal Hunger" during the Cataclysm. Although the pie was painted, "Primal Hunger" has not gained anything now; if "He" does not gain anything, he may even stab himself in the back later.

——Thus thought the high-dimensional observer who had rich experience in backstabbing.

"Later, I will hand over the magical item composed of the extraordinary characteristics of the Mechanical Expert to you by offering it to Mr. Fool."

Alger nodded, and after Mr. Fool confirmed that the formula handed over by the High-Dimensional Observer was correct, he took the formula from the High-Dimensional Observer.

Alger's hand holding the formula trembled for a moment. He took a deep breath and quickly glanced over the formula.

The words that the High-Dimensional Overlooker said to him gave Alger new hope. Alger had set his goals higher long before he joined the Tarot Club and learned that everyone in the Tarot Club was promoted very quickly.

He hopes to become an angel with a long life and become a real big figure in the mysterious world.

If that's the case... Alger couldn't help but make a decision in his heart.

After the transaction between the High Dimension Overlooker and Alger was concluded, the Tarot Club fell into a long-unseen silence. Seeing that no one around spoke, Miss Justice Audrey wanted to ask about Rune's current situation, but before she opened her mouth, Mr. Fool, who was sitting in the first seat, broke the silence:

"Mr. Sun, this is what you want."

What do I need? Derrick Berg, the Sun, originally thought that there was nothing he could do in this Tarot Club. At most, he would ask people around him whether they could provide the food that Silver City needed. But he didn't expect Mr. Fool to suddenly mention him!

What I need should be what I had before... Derrick felt his heart surge and took a deep breath.

——Then he saw three mushrooms appear in front of him.

Except for the mushroom in the middle which is red, the one on the left is white, and the other one is also white; the only difference between the two is that the former is more similar to an ordinary mushroom in shape, while the latter looks obviously much weirder.

The latter's root was larger than the radius of the mushroom's umbrella head, which looked extremely strange. Moreover, Derrick also noticed that there were dancing tentacles growing around the thick root of the mushroom, which looked very strange.

Is this the mushroom from the outside world? Are all the people in the outside world living in dire straits? Derrick looked at these tentacles and was shocked for a moment.

He suddenly understood why those outsiders who came to the City of Silver would give up the place of light and follow the Lord and Mr. Fool to the lost land abandoned by God.

Of course, it is hard to say which is scarier, these weird mushrooms or Backlund's black bread.

"Adapt, harvest, purify."

Klein casually uttered three words. As the god of Silver City, he couldn't explain too much, otherwise it would inevitably affect the image of Mr. Fool.

From these three words, Little "Sun" should be able to guess what the functions of these mushrooms are. Hey, it would be great if there was a character similar to a God's messenger in the Forsaken Land of God. Then I wouldn't have to worry about them not understanding the uses of these mushrooms and causing some unexpected situations...

No, isn't Mr. A in the God-Forsaken Land now? Maybe we can ask him to introduce the uses of these mushrooms to others. After all, Mr. A is a demigod and has a very strong vitality...

Klein thought in his mind and sat there quietly without saying anything.

Derrick looked at the three mushrooms in front of him that were described by Mr. Fool with three words, and thought for a moment with a sad face. He was ready to go back and tell Elder Colin exactly what he had said, in order to prevent himself from not fully understanding Mr. Fool's oracle and causing bad consequences.

There is no other reason, it's just that this mushroom with tentacles is too weird.

He quickly thanked Fool: "Thank you, Mr. Fool."

But in his heart he was silently thinking:

"Praise Mr. Fool, praise the mushrooms that Mr. Fool has gifted me!"

Klein nodded lightly, appearing somewhat unfathomable.

Phew, no one wants it now, right?

Miss Justice Audrey, whose speech was interrupted by Mr. Fool, blushed a little, but under the cover of the gray fog, her slightly red face was not noticed by others.

After using her 'audience' ability to once again observe her companions whose faces were obscured by the gray fog, Audrey gently asked:

"Excuse me, does anyone know about the current situation of the Kingdom of Loen?"

She looked around and said, "I can provide corresponding compensation for everyone."

Audrey recently felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Backlund, which was in the process of reconstruction.

Not only has the frequency of balls among the nobles decreased a lot, but the recent increase in the number of guards in the royal capital and the news of enlistment among the young nobles all show that the recent situation is unusual.

However, Audrey heard the "Hanged Man" across from her laugh.

(End of this chapterWar Smoke RisingChapter 215: War Smoke Rising

Hmm?

After hearing Mr. Hanged Man's answer, Audrey immediately made a puzzled sound and turned her head to look at Mr. Hanged Man opposite her.

The Hanged Man Alger sneered in a not-too-stiff tone and said to Miss Justice in front of him,

"The information on this is very cheap."

"After all, this is not really a secret to people in the outside world. You probably don't know this information because there are no Beyonders gatherings."

Alger made his words very clear. He guessed that the current Miss Justice actually did not have any Beyonder gatherings other than the Tarot Club.

Otherwise, in fact, you can easily get this news by joining some folk extraordinary gatherings, or even some salons among ordinary nobles, or asking adventurers for information.

"Mr. Hanged Man, what kind of payment do you want? Barter, exchange of information, or direct payment in gold pounds?"

Audrey's face showed a rich smile, which made Alger's mouth twitch. He looked at Miss Justice in front of him, whose clothes were worth the price of a Beyonder characteristic, and felt that the Beyonder materials he had worked so hard to save for so long were simply a joke.

The price of this news is actually not worth many gold pounds, but it seems a bit of a loss to tell Miss Justice the news for free.

But Alger looked at the two new members of the Tarot Club, "Priestess" and "Moon", and thought that he could disguise himself and make them think that he was a generous, kind, and enthusiastic member of the Tarot Club.

Especially the "moon" that was looking around there before, it looked very deceptive at first glance... Bah, its eyes were so innocent and it looked like it had no scheming intentions.

As for the matter of disguise, it was just like Mr. Sun. To this day, Alger still didn't understand whether Mr. Sun was really innocent or if he was hiding his intentions too deeply.

As far as he knew, Mr. "The Sun" had now become the bishop of the Church of Fools over there.

Alger felt a little short of breath when he thought of this. Compared to the discrimination and difficulty in promotion that existed in the Church of Storms, the Church of Fools was obviously much more humane.

This made Alger want to give up his current position in the Church of Storms and go to the God-Forsaken Land to follow Mr. Sun and become the bishop of the Church of Fools.

But after thinking about it, Alger decided to put this idea aside.

Even at this stage, although Alger did not hold an important position in the Church of the Storm, he was also well-known. Now it was not a problem for him to be promoted to Sequence 5 stably. If the Church of the Storm really made it impossible for him to be promoted to a demigod for a long time, he would choose to completely give up his identity in the Church of the Storm.

After all, the identity of a true church is quite important.

But that's a story for later. Now, if I can continue to stably obtain extraordinary characteristics of the same sequence as mine, I can trade the remaining two potion formulas from Mr. White Tower.

Alger sensed the unique aura of a superior from the Storm Path from Mr. White Tower, who was wearing half a pair of glasses. Alger was sure that this proved that White Tower had transformed from the Hanged Man Path to a demigod from the Storm Path!

Alger suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, lowered his tone, and said to Audrey in front of him:

"This news is free."

Looking at Miss Justice who was looking at him with a slightly surprised look, Alger suddenly felt that his personality was insulted. Even through a layer of gray fog, Alger could see the surprised look clearly, which made him feel a little depressed.

But soon, seeing Miss Justice quickly retracting her surprised look, in order to avoid embarrassment, Alger chuckled and pretended that nothing had happened. He said to Miss Justice in front of him, "This news

is not worth a high price. Whether it is among the pirates or the church, or even in front of the residents of the coastal cities and the southern continent, this matter has been completely revealed to them."

"For residents in some areas, this has even become common sense."

Audrey quickly adjusted her posture and sat opposite Alger, listening to his words with the attitude of an impeccable listener.

After all, she and the Hanged Man were among the first group of members to join the Tarot Club, and they knew each other's personalities to some extent.

Moreover, when they had carried out a commission from the Tarot Club related to the Church of the Storm and the nobles of Backlund, the two of them were almost aware of each other's identities, but they maintained the tacit understanding that Tarot Club members should have and did not reveal their real identities.

As for the members who joined later, they naturally did not know each other's identities. However, in Audrey's opinion, the "Hanged Man" opposite her was indeed a person who would calculate every aspect in order to weigh the benefits he could get in the end.

Such charitable speeches, which could be described as the Little "Sun", are generally not in line with the personality of the "Hanged Man" in front of us.

This is why Audrey was surprised just now, but after a moment, she discovered some clues with the audience's strong and keen observation ability.

Well, Mr. "The Hanged Man" is now focusing part of his attention on the new members. It seems that he is making this information public for free in order to gain their trust, so as to leave a good impression and lay the foundation for future cooperation...

This is consistent with his character, no wonder he would do this... But does this also mean that this news is actually known by many people, while the nobles of Backlund have no way of knowing it?

Audrey's face changed.

She thought of a possibility.

——What if she is the one with the problem?

Susie is also a Beyonder of the Audience Path, and has recently digested the Sequence 8 potion under Audrey's guidance, and is preparing to be promoted to Sequence 7.

Therefore, sometimes Audrey would ask Susie to go to Earl Hall's room to eavesdrop on conversations between some great nobles.

Of course, it was for this reason that Audrey lost the clues to other extraordinary gatherings after Xio and Fors left Backlund. This was also the reason why Audrey did not look for other extraordinary gatherings after losing the source of extraordinary information other than the Tarot Club.

As for news from the secular world, is there any extraordinary gathering that is better informed than the Hall family, who stand at the political center of the Kingdom of Loen?

And if it concerns the major events of the extraordinary world, what extraordinary gathering can be more informed than the Tarot Club?

However, Audrey found herself caught in a contradiction.

From the perspective of other members of the Tarot Club, this news was the most basic information that many extraordinary people and even some ordinary people could understand, so it was not announced at such a high-level gathering as the Tarot Club hosted by Mr. Fool.

On the contrary, Audrey had never heard Susie report to her about the things discussed in Earl Hall's room, things related to Backlund's situation!

Even if this matter was related to the extraordinary world, after all, Backlund had just experienced a catastrophe, so there would be no news that would not leak out!

Whether it was thinking of the fewer and fewer young nobles at the party and the serious expressions of some old nobles on certain topics at the party, or the increase in the number of night watchmen of the Church of the Night around her and the more frequent guards around the Queen's District, it seemed to indicate that a big event was about to come.

But why didn't Backlund's royal nobles mention this? Why, as a Sequence 7 Beyonder of the Spectator Path, did I not discover the strangeness hidden in these things?

——Just now Mr. Hanged Man mentioned that the Beyonders knew about this matter. Is it possible that something went wrong with the nobles?

Audrey felt as if a few drops of sweat were about to seep out of her forehead. She quickly gathered her spirits and prepared to listen carefully to see if Alger's words met her expectations.

While Audrey was getting nervous, Alger spoke directly.

He also had some doubts in his heart. He was wondering why these apparently common news could not reach the ears of the well-informed Miss Justice.

Even if Miss Justice hadn't participated in other extraordinary gatherings, it wouldn't have been like this...

"While Backlund was rebuilding, the Loen Kingdom's colonial army in East Balam had many conflicts with local cult groups and rebels, including the Rose School and organizations that believed in the God of Death, such as the East Balam Restoration Association.

There are also suspected frictions between spies from countries like Intis and Feysac and the warlords they secretly support, as well as attacks and harassment on the Loen Kingdom's army."

"At the same time in West Balam, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun announced that it had officially declared war on the newly established Church of the Aurora and its subordinate Church of the Creator and Savior. The progress of the war has already affected a considerable portion of the waterways belonging to the Kingdom of Loen."

Alger paused for a moment, and then said to the people in front of him,

"For the same reason, the international relations between the Kingdom of Loen and the Republic of Intis have become increasingly bad recently.

In addition, Feysac also has a vague intention to launch an attack on East Balam in the southern continent, which is a colony belonging to the Kingdom of Loen. Therefore, the Kingdom of Loen is now in the possibility of being attacked by the Republic of Intis and the Feysac Empire. "

"Not to mention, pirates have become more rampant recently. There are also many powerful Extraordinary people on the sea who are ready to compete for the position of Pirate General. The existence of these pirates has gradually stretched the navy of the Kingdom of Loen. Although it has also affected the shipping routes of the other two countries, it is definitely not as great as the impact on the Kingdom of Loen."

"This is the current situation of the Kingdom of Loen, but you should have heard this kind of news. So I think this news is of no value, and you don't need to pay gold pounds for it..."

Alger spoke in a rare humorous tone, but he saw a hint of shock on Audrey's face, and his expression immediately turned serious.

"Could it be that the Kingdom of Loen is not... No, that's not right. I went to the port of the Kingdom of Loen before. Although the local residents did not know what happened specifically, they knew that the army under the leadership of the Church of Storms was now fighting the resistance forces in the southern continent. And Backlund's Beyonder also knew..."

Alger immediately came back to his senses: "Miss Justice, don't you know about this?"

"There has been no news about her in Backlund so far." Audrey felt a fear rising in her heart. She didn't know where this fear came from, but it was like a huge haze covering her.

She took a deep breath and used her audience instinct to suppress her outflowing emotions back into her heart.

This was undoubtedly a very strange thing. Even ordinary people along the coast knew that the Loen Kingdom and the Southern Continent were at war, but Backlund, the capital of the Loen Kingdom, did not know the news.

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't know about this news. If he didn't know about this news at all, then the number of Beyonders and the army in the capital wouldn't increase, and he wouldn't have discovered Backlund's abnormality.

——If Backlund himself didn't know that there was something wrong with him, how could he have been discovered to be abnormal?

Audrey swallowed, not knowing what to say.

Many guesses emerged in her mind, but she couldn't be sure which one was true.

The only thing Audrey could be sure of now was that the nobles of Backlund might know that the Kingdom of Loen and the Southern Continent were at war, and that there was a dangerous situation around them where the other two countries might attack at any time, but they did not mention it to anyone else, as if they had completely forgotten about it.

It's like they remember everything and do everything, but they forget why they did it.

Audrey was a little impatient. She tapped the table in front of her anxiously. Her pupils gradually became thinner and longer, as if they were about to become a pair of vertical pupils!

For extraordinary people who have not obtained divinity, such changes usually mean loss of control!

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly echoed in the hall, and the power of the gray fog reverberated, breaking the terrible changes in Audrey's body.

Audrey came back to her senses and turned to look at Mr. Fool, who was holding a crystal ball that was as bright as a star in his left hand. She heard Mr. Fool say in his usual relaxed tone:

"Adam."

-

Klein knew that there was a high probability that Adam had done something like this.

And now he has learned to put the blame on the two brothers Amon and Adam, just as Aurora will be forced to admit that he is responsible for various events.

Anyway, the members of the Tarot Club had no way to verify it with the two brothers, not to mention that this matter was most likely the work of Adam and his Twilight Hermits.

Otherwise, other extraordinary people simply would not be able to achieve such a level.

There is no way... that the entire Backlund nobility will "forget".

　Normal updates will resume on TuesdayChilled by the Tide of the TimesChapter 216: Chilled by the Tide of the Times

Although Adam never had any concrete evidence, he knew that the tide of the times that had been under his control and advancing in an orderly manner might have escaped control and poured down on his head.

——

Mr. Fool has spoken!

The Hanged Man Alger perked up. Looking at Mr. Fool in front of him, some new ideas emerged in his mind.

Mr. Fool would not remind himself and other members of the Tarot Club for no reason. So does this mean that Mr. Fool had anticipated the current situation and responded to it?

But Klein was not going to continue talking about this topic. The more he talked, the more mistakes he made. Before he was sure whether Adam was the one who created the large-scale "neglect" and "forgetfulness" in Backlund, Klein would not allow himself to characterize the matter as the Fool.

However, Klein speculated that this large-scale influence was most likely caused by Adam. Klein knew that Beyonders in the "audience" path could use a variety of means to influence the psychology of others and thus guide things in the direction they wanted.

For example, the ability of "0-08" is actually the external manifestation of the ability of the Beyonder of the high-level "audience" path. A truly brilliant "writer" basically will not rely solely on this ability to influence reality and guide the surroundings to become like the scene imagined in his mind.

Klein guessed that if this matter was really related to Adam, then Adam would most likely not take action himself, but instead asked some "audience" saints in his "Twilight Hermit Society" to influence the nobles through various means.

Then, he took advantage of the nobles' subconscious forgetfulness of the dangers of war to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Loen Kingdom's army.

Klein could probably guess why Adam did this. Just imagine what would happen if the war broke out and the army of the Kingdom of Loen was quickly defeated?

The faith of the Lord of Storms and the Goddess of Night who supported the royal family in the Kingdom of Loen would quickly weaken. For Adam, this was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.

Needless to say, the Goddess of Night has some faith in the "God of Death" in the southern continent, and has given the task of spreading the anchor to Klein. She is not too afraid of the collapse of the faith of the Kingdom of Loen.

What the Goddess of Night would like to see is that her anchor in the Northern Continent is rapidly reduced in a short period of time, so that she can complete her previous plan more quickly and attract the God of War to actively provoke a war between gods.

Although Klein didn't know what back-up plan the Goddess of Night had for dealing with the God of War, he believed that the Goddess of Night must have made a plan, otherwise she wouldn't have arranged for him to preach the teachings of the God of Death at sea.

——The god of death that he promotes is a feminine image of the god of death, and he can basically use symbolic symbols to guide people's faith to the "artificial god of death".

If the Storm Lord's anchor was shaken, it would be a good thing for Adam. The weaker the three gods Feng, Bai, and Zhi were, the less obstacles he would encounter when he was promoted to "Dreamer" later.

Moreover, after seeing that his half-body true creator was now being hunted down by the "Eternal Sun", Adam felt that he could not pin his hopes on these traitors.

"So, do I need to ask the church for help on this matter?"

Audrey calmed herself down and asked the people in front of her. She was undecided now, not sure whether to ask the church for help and let the church intervene in the strange changes happening to the Backlund nobles.

The most crucial thing is that what Audrey is most worried about now is whether other problems will arise after she reveals that she has discovered the abnormality. She doesn't know whether this will expose herself to the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes, thereby detonating a greater hidden danger in advance.

After all, Audrey is only a girl who has just come of age for a few months. When faced with such a serious matter, even as a "spectator", she cannot make up her mind for a while.

The atmosphere at the Tarot Club was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one spoke, Alger, the "Hanged Man" who had known Audrey the longest, considered for a moment and said to Miss Justice in front of him,

"I suggest that you don't expose your current situation easily."

He paused for a moment, and further explained to Miss Justice in front of him:

"I don't think the two major churches will have no reaction to such a large-scale 'forgetting' incident in Backlund. In other words, there are two possibilities in this matter:

First, the two major churches in Backlund have already noticed this incident, but due to insufficient sequence of investigators, or the instigator of this incident used some means, the Beyonders of the church are unable to detect what the forgotten incident is;"

Alger changed his tone and said seriously,

"The second possibility is that the mastermind behind this incident is hiding in the church, secretly assisting Adam mentioned by Mr. Fool, or the organization belonging to Adam.

Regardless of the possibility, I do not recommend you to seek help from the church. Even if Backlund's condition is better now and belongs to the first situation I mentioned, you cannot explain why you were able to escape the influence. "

"In other words, I can't let others know that I have discovered Backlund's abnormality?" Audrey's tone was a little nervous:

"If the Loen Kingdom's army is defeated, the biggest beneficiaries should be the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic. Mr. 'Hanged Man', maybe I can start investigating the spies of Feysac or Intis?

Maybe the Beyonders of the Church failed to notice this, and it was the 'Imaginary Angel' Adam who used ordinary people to cause this incident."

"I think this is what you can do at the moment." Alger nodded, affirming Audrey's idea.

"I see..." Audrey lowered her voice and murmured to herself.

...

After the Tarot meeting.

Backlund, Hall family.

Several blood-red feathers fell from the sky and transformed into an angel covered in scarlet armor that landed on Audrey. The angel seemed to embrace Audrey and merge into her body.

Sure enough, this is the angel serving Mr. Fool...

Audrey Hall sat up from her soft big bed and stepped barefoot on the soft cushion. Susie, who was guarding the door while Audrey was attending the Tarot Club, jumped up and threw herself into Audrey's arms.

Susie immediately noticed the tired look on Audrey's face, and her tail stopped wagging. She looked at Audrey in front of her and couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong, Audrey? Is there something on your mind?"

"I'm fine, Susie." Audrey shook her head and said worriedly.

She looked at Susie in her arms, raised her hand and touched the smooth fur on Susie's body: "Just now, I just knew a few more things. Things that cannot be known by others."

"What's the matter, Audrey?" Susie looked at the girl in front of her and asked with concern, "Can I help you?"

Audrey shook her head silently, feeling a little worried. She held Susie in her arms and fell into a long period of thinking.

Susie also lay quietly in Audrey's arms, waiting for what Audrey was going to say next, without any anxiety. After a long time, Audrey made a decision, looked at Susie in front of her and said,

"Susie, I want you to help me with something."

"You say." Susie looked at Audrey in front of her, without any impatience in her eyes.

"I hope you can pretend to be me." Audrey paused, looking at Susie who was stunned and confused in front of her, and did not explain anything else. Instead, she said in one breath:

"I have a very important matter that I need to investigate myself, but I cannot reveal my identity. So, I will start pretending to be sick in the next two days and try to avoid contact with my parents.

I'll need someone to help me with, uh, 'alibi'! Susie, you can pretend to be my voice and stay in the room to make it look like I'm still there."

Although Audrey's plan was a little childish, Susie didn't think it was childish. Susie thought about it for a moment, and felt that her brain was a little overloaded, and she almost barked.

After a while, Susie gently pressed Audrey's hand with her front paws, making a caressing gesture, and said to Audrey helplessly:

"But, Audrey, I'm just a dog. At least, well, at least you have to tell me what to do if someone wants to enter your room?"

What if someone wants to enter my room? This is indeed a problem...

Audrey couldn't help but frown. This was indeed a difficult problem for her to solve. After all, Susie could only imitate Audrey's appearance but not her body.

At the moment, Audrey feels that her sequence does not have the ability to disguise herself, so she has no way to help Susie disguise herself.

If Count Hall went directly into Audrey's room after calling his daughter for a long time to see how his daughter was doing, and then found that the one who responded to him was his daughter's dog...

Hiss—Audrey felt her hair stand on end when she thought of this scene.

Does Dad feel like he's been cursed by some evil Beyonder and turned into Susie… wow, this scene…

Audrey stroked Susie's dog head while thinking about it, and said with some uncertainty in her tone:

"Maybe I can find some magical items to allow me to return here quickly, or disguise myself as you - Susie, we still can't be impatient, it may lead to the opposite effect..."

"If only Professor Moriarty and Mr. Abraham were here, they might be able to come up with a solution..."

Audrey sighed. "It's a pity that Professor Moriarty went to the Southern Continent after he obtained the fiefdom there. Otherwise, I should be able to ask him for help now..."

"Although I can't ask anyone else to investigate this matter, I should be able to ask Mr. Fool's followers to investigate…"

"I'm afraid this matter will have to be put on hold until we find the corresponding extraordinary item..."

Listening to Audrey's words, Susie nodded in confusion. It thought for a while, not knowing what to say, and finally could only woof.

...

In Backlund's palace, George Augustus, sitting on the pitch-black throne, looked at Adam in front of him, holding his chin, wearing a pitch-black royal robe.

He wore an iron-black crown on his head, as if he was eager to imitate "Caesar".

"I heard that the Twilight Hermits have now controlled the nobles of Backlund and weakened their control over the army?" George III knocked on his throne, his tone full of unquestionable momentum:

"Imaginary Angel, do you know that this will put Loen at a disadvantage in a possible war and make me lose the support of the people?"

"——Don't worry, Your Majesty." Adam's expression remained calm. He looked at George III in front of him and said to him, "Your Majesty's mausoleum has been repeatedly investigated by the church. Now the situation in Rune has made the church's Beyonders have no time to investigate."

"What's more, Your Majesty and I have already made sufficient preparations. Even if Intis and Feysac attack Loen together, it will not affect Your Majesty's plan.

I have also made other insurance arrangements in Intis and Feysac, so they will not attack Loen in the short term."

"I hope so." George III looked at the sincere and innocent priest in front of him, with an imperceptible look in his eyes:

"There is only one mausoleum left to be built. Please do not start a war before I am fully prepared. If that happens, I will not be able to advance and our plan will fall apart."

"I understand." Adam nodded slightly and watched George III leave.

He felt a long-lost tiredness.

The tide of the times had long been within His expectations, but the current chaos made it impossible for Adam to maintain confidence in His previous guidance.

The condition of "making the development of the times conform to one's own expectations" seems simple, but in fact it is quite difficult. Adam must do it himself to promote the emergence of that key node, that is, to use the death of "God of War" Badhair as his own promotion ceremony so that he can become a true god.

The tide of the times rolled in, but some things were beyond Adam's expectations.

Is it really an Outer God... Adam expressionlessly made his clone disappear from the spot, ready to personally correct the mistakes that happened beyond the plan one by one.

In any case, he must become a "visionary"; only in this way can he merge himself with the true Creator and not let the half-body influenced by the outer gods dominate his will.

——Even if he lost a "Black Emperor" as an ally.

——George

III turned around and said hurriedly to the figure in front of him:

"Are you telling the truth?"

"His promotion ceremony does not require a certain victory, nor does it require my success?"

"I have been living in a deception?"

"Tell... me, Abraham..."

"—Duke."

　I have a very outrageous idea. If the tonnage is similar, can the ability of the "Faceless Man" help Susie disguise herself as Audrey
