Chapter 543 An attempt

"Everyone."

"I'm back."

In the magnificent kingdom of God that is beyond human imagination, the gods high above the gray fog look down at everything below.

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

A long time had passed since the previous separation without any warning. The Fool remained silent, taking a long time to look at his party members one by one, and was satisfied and relieved to find that they all looked familiar to him.

However, when His gaze passed through the endless void and collided with the gaze of Xio, who was curled up in a chair wrapped in a blanket, it stayed a little longer, making the latter feel uneasy and want to wrap himself with the blanket, but he did not dare to act rashly under the gaze of the gods.

Seeing this, the corners of The Fool’s blurry face slightly raised, revealing a smile that everyone is most familiar with.

"I have returned and will chair the meeting again."

"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 dirty with mud and water covered with tears. The young man, who was still lying powerlessly on the ground and had just regained consciousness, looked at Audrey with gratitude, unable to speak.

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

"Without your artificial respiration, his life would still be gone 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 from her forehead due to anxiety and nervousness 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 other people's minds. 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 also the reason why Letty Orr can treat many different mental illnesses as a psychiatrist, and even educate children, wake up vegetative people, and cure lunatics.

The young lady from the southern continent thanked him repeatedly, then helped her husband up and left. Audrey was thinking about Mr. Fool and the reconvening of the Tarot Club. She walked to the wooden boxes stacked at the edge of the temporary medical camp and wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

But when she saw the dirty water marks and silt on the wooden box, Audrey, who still loved cleanliness in her bones, sighed and chose to stand and rest.

"Mr. Fool is back..."

It hadn't been long since they had been apart. The Tarot Club had only been suspended for two or three months, but Audrey felt as if she were in a different world.

At that time, she was still looking forward to the outside world at the bronze table, but she didn't want to leave her family, so she could only imagine and realize her little dream by doing some good deeds. But later, she met Mr. Richard on the "Backlund Disaster Day", and then she got the identity of "Letty Orr" and had a dream life.

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

The return of the Tarot Club seemed to be an opportunity for her to re-examine her past self.

Audrey thought that she had experienced a lot. She received far more and more sincere praise than when she was in Loen. She received flowers from barefoot children, handkerchiefs woven by women, and special products from the southern continent from patients. She had many experiences worth sharing with her companions at the meeting before God. But at the same time, this land was not beautiful. She had seen too many horrible, bloody, despicable and even disgusting things. These things were anti-sharing, and she could only suppress them in her mind and adjust them silently.

"On the whole, I have a lot of good things to tell you..."

Audrey hoped that her mood would not continue to be so depressed and dull, so she allowed herself to become cheerful:
“If I tell them that I’m a doctor in the Southern Continent, that I became a demigod, and that I saved many Beyonders and even provided psychological guidance to demigods when I was at Sequence 5, everyone will surely exclaim in amazement!”

She was thinking a lot, and then she noticed a strange man in a simple cloth robe - a man who covered his head and face tightly and walked hurriedly. His body outline was a bit like the familiar "Bound God" Tolzna.

"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 answered casually:

"He thought he was dead just now, and he pulled Richard to say a lot of heartfelt words. In the end, he asked Richard to accept his extraordinary characteristics and then guard the highlands on his behalf. Richard asked him to stop talking, but he almost indulged in his emotions and pulled Richard to talk about everything from Renette to Sua, and finally started crying about the disasters that the highlands had suffered. As he cried, the people of the Thunder Church evacuated. Now he didn't die, which was very embarrassing."

“……”Is that so?

Some people are still alive, but they are socially dead... Audrey felt so embarrassed that her scalp tingled as soon as she substituted herself. Looking at the back of the Bound God wrapping herself 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."

Treanor pulled out his cat from somewhere and slowly smoothed its fur.

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

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

"I don't know what this place was like originally... but so many people died in the blink of an eye. It feels like all of Richard's efforts this year have been wasted. In the short term, Highland will need to use the Transfiguration Curse to govern the country."

"I plan to try to get a hand with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after returning to Intis. The families in charge of foreign affairs have invited me to several balls. Now I can choose one to contact first... It's a bit difficult for Highland to have equal international exchanges and be the first country to recognize Him, but now the National Parliament is in name only. I hope the Church of the God of Mysteries doesn't mind..."

After talking to himself and petting the cat until it fell asleep, Trainor looked at Audrey:
"Did you just join us? Do you want to follow me back later? The audience doesn't seem to have the skills to travel through the spirit world, so Richard will definitely be busy again."

It is really not a good idea to trouble Mr. Richard in this situation. Audrey nodded:
"Will hunters have skills related to the spirit world when they reach the demigod stage?"

"No."

Traynor pulled the cat up from his legs by its front legs, pulling it into a long strip:
“But it has.”

Audrey looked into the eyes of the startled cat, and after a moment she gave 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 in the woods at the foot of the Hornachis Mountains and sat down. He whispered to Pales, "Didn't you say that The Fool has already...?"

After "coming back to life" through his clone, Pales seemed to have been stimulated by something just now, and he talked to Leonard about a lot of safety knowledge from their time. Therefore, Leonard gradually recognized the acquaintances of Pales, who was still a young junior at the time:

The man who had behaved strangely and dressed elegantly like a top noble of the Fourth Epoch was the legendary Mr. "Door", the source of the "Full Moon Whisperings", the ancestor of Abraham, Bethel Abraham.

Pales had always believed that the Fool was "half a fool", that is, Antigonus, and Leonard's friend "Klein Moretti" was influenced by the "Antigonus Family Notes" that were lost by Ince Zangwill, and established a connection with him, which led to him becoming a "fortune teller" and becoming His messenger and follower as "German Sparrow".

"Old man, you said before that The Fool might have lost to Amon, so he withdrew from Sefirah Castle and terminated the meeting. Just now you said that The Fool left the Honachis Mountains and went to the spirit world to fight other beings. Now The Fool has returned. Do you know what happened?" Leonard asked in a low voice.

Since Klein was the only survivor of the trio of students who had access to the Antigonus family notes, and successfully controlled the Sealed Object 2-049 Antigonus Puppet, combined with his subsequent rapid promotion and his fit with the "Fortune Teller", Pales and Leonard once suspected that the Moretti family might also be descendants of the Antigonus family. After the notes gave Klein revelation, they killed Riel Bibb to cover up for the real descendant. He could also communicate with the puppet, and the puppet did not hurt him, and he did not use the puppet to hurt them.

But this guess was just a guess, because His divination did not produce any results.

As for Dwayne Dantès, Pallez had known too many demigods before, and the other party used a false identity. His purpose was general revenge, but he was involved with the Church of Evernight. Therefore, He did not match him with a demigod from the Antigonus family.

This great nobleman of the Fourth Epoch was sleeping on the top of the Honachis Mountains, so Bethel's casual throw before caused them to appear here unexpectedly.

——However, judging from Antigonus’s performance, it seems unlikely that he could be the “Fool”.

His consciousness has not awakened at all, and he has even become crazier. How could he hold a meeting, communicate, and conduct transactions?

So who is the Fool?
Pales had to re-evaluate the options that he had previously chosen to ignore - could it really be the "mysterious waiter" who had been missing, isolated from all history, and never found?

If so, why has He never had any stories or rumors?Where are the miracles left behind by Him and the traces of Secret Puppet Town?
East Continent? But the "God of Wishes" is there, and the "God of Wishes" is still alive!

If that is true, then was He promoted, or is it the living property of the "Mysterious Servant" potion, or is it...

Pales did not dwell on these matters, because having lost his Sequence One, he had completely withdrawn from the high-sequence competition of the Lord of Mysteries. It could even be said that he had no competitiveness to begin with, and the former Seven Gods would not look favorably upon him as a loyalist of the Solomon Empire.

Pales didn't tell Leonard about these things, and the latter had always thought that Klein was working for "Half Fool". Because judging from the boy's concern for his friend, it was already dangerous for him to work for a person from the Fourth Epoch with no history and unknown existence. If the "Fool" was not Antigonus and had completely become an evil god with an unknown identity, Leonard would probably be worried for a long time.

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 make plans because of his seniority and experience, was now at a loss, Leonard felt curious at first, and then, as the old man had expected, he became worried.

"Well, old man, do you think that the current 'Fool' could be Amon in disguise?"

When he heard this question, Pales did not sneer directly, but threw the question back: "What do you think?"

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

Leonard was not surprised when asked the question. He frowned and said his guess:

“Although Amon has every reason to do so, if Amon wanted to play tricks on us by faking a meeting and pretending to be The Fool, he could have done it when he first got Sefirah Castle. It has been delayed for so long, there is no point in doing it now. 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 instead of playing with ants like us."

"But if something really happened, you should tell me, and we obviously won't have anything to do with any apotheosis ceremony."

Pales nodded slightly with his nonexistent body:
"Not bad, it hits the point."

"So what do you suggest?"

“I suggest you… if the Fool issues another meeting notice, you should attend it, just naturally.” Pales said, “Maybe He is the real Fool. Although I don’t know how He drove away Amon who held Sefirah Castle…”

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

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

Due to insufficient intelligence, Leonard did not share Pales's concerns. He also felt that he should participate in the restarted Tarot Club. After all, he really wanted to know the safety of others, including Klein Moretti.

The River and Sea Church that sheltered him was destroyed, and he didn't seem to have a strong desire to return to the Church of Night, as if he just wanted to watch everyone living from afar. Leonard frowned, and he always felt that his connection with this world was broken one by one. Not to mention the stable interpersonal relationships that were within reach and had always been by his side, it seemed that only Pales Zoroast and Klein were left.

“I don’t know what happened to Mr. Fool, but you must be okay, Klein…”

TBC
------

After announcing the resumption of the meeting, Klein looked around at the interior of Sefirah Castle, which had become exactly the same as before, and sighed softly.

"Xiu's condition is not right... There is a strong 'distortion' in her. Her fate, mind, and consciousness seem to have been distorted. And I can only see it accurately with Sefirah Castle. The one who can achieve this level of distortion should be George III..."

"He is plotting his own resurrection, but I don't know how he plans to do it... The God of Thunder chopped him into pieces during the deification ceremony and pressed him into a tomb. It was really strange that he suddenly turned against the God of Thunder during the coronation ceremony. 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 I can use this dangerous person, but it's better not to. Maybe he has gone crazy after being locked in the tomb for so long."

Klein quickly scrolled through the events related to George III in his mind as he stretched out his hand. Countless crimson illusory stars in the sky began to expand and contract, revealing one picture after another.

Then, Klein selected one of them.

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

Above the high-backed chair, gray fog filled the air, slowly forming a sign for the "Fortune Teller" path.

The person who came was a creature that looked like a human, with a face like a young man, but exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. There was some coarse black hair on his face, and he was wearing the clothes of a noble from the Fourth Epoch. At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head slightly, as if he was still asleep.

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

Antigonus' 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 sight suddenly locked on the mysterious human figure sitting at the top, whose body was shrouded in gray mist.

Antigonus's expression 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 wanted to escape from here immediately - although he didn't know where to escape to - and then he found that he was actually a star spirit body, without extraordinary characteristics, and no longer in the form of an eight-legged demon wolf.

The most important thing is that He is not in a crazy state now!
The tense back of Antigonus's hands gradually relaxed. He sat up straight and looked at the mysterious man sitting quietly at the top.

"Are you the Lord of Mysteries?"

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

Klein smiled and said with ease:

“This is an attempt.”
