Chapter 543 An Attempt

"Everyone."

"I'm back."

In the majestic kingdom of God that surpasses human imagination, the gods who stand high above the gray mist look down on everything below.

He saw the familiar faces that he had not seen for a long time, and looked at the different expressions of shock and surprise that could not be hidden on their faces. Under the gaze of that tall and great being, everyone in the Tarot Club lowered their heads.

A long time has passed since the previous separation without any warning. The "Fool" remained silent and spent a long time looking at his party members one by one. He was satisfied and relieved to find that they were still himself. A familiar look.

However, when his gaze passed through the endless void and collided with the gaze of Xio, who was curled up on the seat wrapped in a blanket, he stayed a little longer, making the latter uneasily want to wrap himself with a blanket, but instead He didn't dare to act rashly under the gaze of the gods.

Upon seeing this, the corners of "The Fool's" blurred face slightly raised, revealing a smile that was most familiar to everyone.

"I have returned and will resume presiding over the meeting."

"Wait for my news."

…

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much, Miss Audrey..."

The woman holding her resurrected husband kept nodding and bowing to Audrey, her face stained by mud and water was covered with tears, while the young man who was still half-lying on the ground weakly had just regained consciousness. He also looked at Audrey with grateful eyes, speechless.

"You're welcome, he wasn't dead in the first place, I just reawakened him."

"Without your artificial respiration, his life could still disappear at any time. It was you who brought him back."

After rescuing the last drowning person, Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped the sweat on her forehead caused by the intersection and tension with the back of her hand, and smiled modestly and gently.

In addition to her skilled CPR skills, the biggest difference between Audrey and other doctors is her ability to enter the minds of others. While using medical technology to save people, she will also try to weave dreams for them, soothe their emotions, or help them reorganize their chaotic subconscious state, thereby reawakening their consciousness. This is why Leti Orr can treat many different mental illnesses as a psychiatrist, and can even educate children, awaken vegetative people, and cure madmen.

The young lady from the Southern Continent thanked her repeatedly, then helped her husband and left together. Audrey was thinking about Mr. Fool and the re-convening of the Tarot Club, and walked to the wooden boxes piled at the edge of the temporary medical camp. , want to sit down and rest for a while.

But when she saw the dirty water marks and sand on the wooden box, Audrey, who still loves to be clean at heart, sighed and chose to stand and rest.

"Mr. Fool is back..."

It was obvious that they had not been apart for long, and the Tarot Club was only suspended for two or three months, but Audrey felt as if she had been separated from another world.

At that time, she was still imagining the outside world expectantly at the long bronze table, but she was unwilling to leave her family. She could only imagine and realize her little dream by doing good deeds. But later, she met Mr. Richard on the day of "Backlund Disaster Day", and then she got the identity of "Letty Orr" and lived a dream-like life.

Audrey was not sure whether this dream was a sweet dream or a nightmare, but the dream helped her see herself and the world clearly.

The return of the Tarot Club seems to be an opportunity, giving her a chance to re-examine her past self.

Audrey felt that she had experienced many, many things. She had received far more and more sincere praise than when she was in Loen, she had received flowers from barefoot children, and she had received handkerchiefs woven by women. , received the specialties of the Southern Continent as a gift from the patient. She had many experiences worth sharing with her companions at the meeting before the gods. But at the same time, this land was not beautiful. She also saw too many horrible, bloody, despicable and even These are disgusting things. These things are against the desire to share, so you can only suppress them and adjust them silently.

"Overall, I have a lot of good things to tell you..."

Audrey hoped that her mood would not continue to be so depressing and dull, so she allowed herself to become excited:

"If I told them that I became a doctor in the Southern Continent and became a demigod, and that I had rescued many Beyonders and even provided psychological guidance to demigods during Sequence 5, everyone would definitely be amazed!"

She thought a lot, and then she noticed a strange man wearing a simple cloth robe - a man who covered his head and face tightly, hurried past, and the outline of his body looked a bit like the one she was familiar with. The "Bound God" Torzner.

"What is He doing?"

Audrey couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Just then, someone came up to her carrying a box, threw a bunch of things on the ground, and replied casually:

"He thought he was dead just now. He pulled Richard and said a lot of heartfelt words. Finally, he said that he wanted Richard to accommodate his extraordinary characteristics and then go and guard the high ground on his behalf. Richard asked him to stop talking. As a result, he almost entered a state of indulgence. He dragged Richard from Reinette to Sioa and finally started to cry that the highlands were in trouble. He was crying that the people from the Thunder Church had evacuated. He was not dead now, so he was very embarrassed. "

"..." That's it.

Some people are still alive, but socially dead... Audrey felt her scalp numb with embarrassment when she took on the role of herself for a moment. She looked at the back of the Bound God who had wrapped herself up so that not even a piece of skin was exposed. There was a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"I'm going back to Intis soon."

Traynor took out his cat from nowhere and smoothed it out slowly.

"I have to go back and thank my father. Thank you... thank him for being willing to let me out, even though I didn't help much."

He casually threw a dry, brand-new large wooden box at Audrey's feet, and then sat on top of another wooden box, staring blankly at the bonfire and the people coming and going in the temporary medical camp.

"I don't know what this place was like...but so many people died in the blink of an eye. It feels like all Richard's efforts this year have been in vain. In a short period of time, the Highlands will still need to use the transformation curse to govern the country."

"I plan to try to get the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after I return to Intis. The families who were originally responsible for diplomacy have given me several invitations to dances. Now I can choose a family to get in touch first depending on the situation... equal international exchanges and the first It is a bit rare to recognize His country, which should be more difficult for Highlands, but now that the National Parliament has ceased to exist in name only, I hope the Church of the Mysterious God doesn’t mind..."

After muttering to himself and stroking the cat until it fell asleep, Traynor looked at Audrey:

"Have you just joined? Do you want to come back with me later? It seems that the audience does not have the skills to travel through the spirit world, and Richard will definitely be busy again."

It’s really not easy to trouble Mr. Richard in this situation. Audrey nodded:

"Will hunters have skills related to the spirit world in the demigod stage?"

"No."

Traynor dragged the cat's front legs and pulled it up from his own legs, pulling it into a long strip:

"But it has."

Audrey and the awakened cat looked at each other, and after a moment, she showed an awkward yet polite smile.

…

"Old man, what's going on?"

Leonard was a little confused. He stopped his aimless walk in the forest, found a flat stone and sat down in the woods at the foot of the Honakis Mountains, and asked Pales in a low voice: "Didn't you say 'The Fool'?" 'already……?"

After "resurrecting from the dead" through the clone, Pales seemed to have been stimulated by something just now, and talked to Leonard a lot about the safety knowledge of their era. Therefore, Leonard gradually got to know the acquaintances of Palles, who was still a young junior at the time:

The one who behaved strangely and dressed luxuriously like the top nobleman of the Fourth Age was the legendary Mr. "Gate", the source of the "Full Moon Rumblings" and the ancestor of Abraham, Bethel Abraham.

Pales had always believed that "The Fool" was "Half Fool", that is, Antigonus, and Leonard's friend "Cline Moretti" learned about it through the book by Ince Zanger. Will became a "divineer" only after being influenced by the "Antigonus Family Notes" that escaped and established contact with him, and became his divine envoy and dependent as "Gehrman Sparrow". By.

"Old man, you said before that 'The Fool' might have lost to Amon, so you withdrew from Source Castle and terminated the meeting. You just said that 'The Fool' left the Honakis Mountains and went to the spiritual world to fight with other beings. Now 'The Fool' is back, do you know what happened?"

Leonard asked quietly.

Since Klein was the only survivor of the trio of students who came into contact with the Antigonus family notes, and successfully controlled the Sealed Artifact 2-049 Antigonus Puppet, combined with his subsequent rapid promotion, and " Soothsayer", so much so that Pales and Leonard once suspected that the Moretti family might also be descendants of the Antigonus family. After giving the revelation to Klein, the note killed Ray Bieber to cover up the true descendant. He could also communicate with the puppets, and the puppets didn't hurt him, and he didn't use the puppets to hurt them.

But this guess is just a guess, because His divination did not yield any results.

As for Dwayne Dantès, Pales knew too many demigods before, and he used a false identity to show others. The purpose was general revenge but he was also involved with the Church of the Night, so he did not mix him with the Antigonus family. Confronted by a certain demigod.

This great nobleman of the Fourth Age was sleeping on the top of the Honakis Mountains, so Bethel's careless abandonment caused them to accidentally appear here.

——However, judging from Antigonus's performance, it seems impossible for the other party to serve as the "Fool".

His consciousness has not awakened at all, and has even become even more crazy. How can it be possible to hold meetings, communicate and trade?

So who is the "Fool"?

Pales had to re-emphasis on the option he had selectively ignored before - is it really the "Secret Waiter" who has been missing, separated from all history, and has never been found?

If so, why did He never have any stories or rumors? Where are the miracles He left behind and the traces of the Secret Puppet Town?

Eastern Continent? But the "God of Desire" is there, and the "God of Desire" is still alive!

If it is true, then was he promoted, or was it because of the aliveness of the "Servant of Secrets" potion, or...

Pales did not think deeply about these things, because after losing Sequence One, he had completely withdrawn from the high-sequence competition of the Lord of Mysteries. It can even be said that he had no competitiveness in the first place, and the former Seven Gods would not treat him well. This loyalist to the Solomonic Empire.

Pales did not tell Leonard these things, as the latter always thought that Klein was working for "Half Fool". Because judging from the fact that this boy is worried about his friend, he originally thought that it would be very dangerous for him to work under the hands of a person from the Fourth Age with no history and unknown existence. If the "Fool" is not Antigonus now, he will completely change his identity. Leonard will probably have to worry about the unknown evil god for a while.

Pales was silent for a long time, and finally whispered:

"I don't know anymore."

Seeing that the old man who had always been able to strategize because of his seniority and knowledge was now unable to do anything, Leonard felt strange at first, and then became worried as expected.

"Well, old man, do you think the current 'Fool' might be Amon pretending to be?"

Upon hearing this question, Pales uncharacteristically did not sneer directly. Instead, he threw the question back: "What do you think?"

"I don't think it could be Amon."

Leonard was not surprised when he was asked the rhetorical question. He frowned and expressed his guess:

"Although Amon has every reason to do this, if Amon wanted to play with us by forging a meeting and pretending to be the 'Fool', then he could have done this when he first got Source Castle. After delaying it for so long, it is impossible now. There is no point in doing so. And the other members will not change enough to arouse his interest in such a short period of time, unless something special happens."

"According to what you said before, Amon should be preparing to steal someone's godhood ceremony now, instead of playing tricks on us ants."

"But if something does happen, you should tell me, and we obviously won't have anything to do with any godhood ceremony."

Pales nodded slightly with his non-existent body:

"It's not bad, it's all on point."

"So what do you suggest?"

"I suggest you...if the 'Fool' issues a meeting notice again, you can participate and participate naturally." Pales said, "Maybe he is the real 'Fool', although I don't know what he is using. How to drive away Amon who holds the Source Castle..."

Could it be... is he really the "Lord of Mysteries"?

If he is really the "Lord of Mysteries", then what is his purpose in reopening the Tarot Society...

Due to insufficient intelligence, Leonard was not as worried as Pales. He also felt that he should participate in the restarted Tarot Club. After all, he now wanted to know the safety of other people and Klein Moretti.

The River and Sea Church that protected him was destroyed, and the Church of the Night didn't seem to have a strong desire for him to go back, as if he just wanted to watch everyone still living from a distance. Leonard frowned. He always felt that his connection with the world was broken one by one. Not to mention the stable interpersonal relationships that were always by his side, it seemed that the only ones left were Pales Zoroastrian and Klein.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Fool, but you must be fine, Klein..."

TBC

——————

After issuing the notice to restart the meeting, Klein looked around at the interior decoration of Sefirah Castle, which had become exactly the same as before, and sighed softly.

"There is something wrong with Xio's state... There is a strong 'distortion' in her body. Her destiny, mind and consciousness seem to have been distorted. And I can only see it accurately using Source Castle to achieve this level of distortion." Yes, it should indeed be George III..."

"He is plotting his own resurrection, but he doesn't know exactly what he plans to do... The God of Thunder split him into pieces during the ceremony of becoming a god and pressed him into the tomb. His sudden confrontation at the coronation ceremony before It’s really strange that the God of Thunder turned against him. Now that I think about it, something must have happened to George III that I don’t know about, otherwise he wouldn’t have made such an irrational move.”

"I don't know if such a dangerous person can take advantage of him, but it's best not to. Maybe he has gone crazy after being locked in the tomb for so long."

While Klein quickly ran through things related to George III in his mind, he stretched out his hand. Countless crimson illusory stars in the sky began to expand and contract, showing one picture after another.

Immediately afterwards, Klein selected one of them.

He stretched out his hand and clicked in the air, and the corresponding red star suddenly opened. A phantom fell from it and appeared on an empty high-backed chair next to Klein.

Above the high-backed chair, gray fog filled the air, slowly forming a symbol of the "divineer" path.

The person who came was a human-like creature, with a face like a young man, but exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. There was some thick black hair on his face, and he was wearing the clothing of a Fourth Age noble. He closed his eyes tightly at the moment and lowered his head slightly, as if he was still sleeping.

After a few seconds, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

Antigonus's face showed an expression of pain and struggle. He stared blankly at the pattern of the long bronze table in front of him for a while, then looked around, and finally his eyes suddenly locked on the gray figure sitting at the top. A mysterious humanoid being shrouded in fog.

Antigonus's face changed, and fear and awe instantly appeared in the depths of his dark eyes.

He subconsciously tensed his body and wanted to stand up, and also wanted to escape from here immediately - although he didn't know where to escape - and then he discovered that he was actually an astral body, without extraordinary characteristics, and without Then there is the form of the eight-legged demon wolf.

The most important thing is that He is not crazy now!

The tense back of Antigonus's hand calmed down bit by bit. He sat up straight and stared at the mysterious man sitting quietly above him.

"Are you the Lord of Mysteries?"

"What is your purpose? Why did you bring me here? Why didn't you just gather me together?"

Klein smiled and said in a familiar manner:

"This is an attempt." (End of chapter)
