Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

882
He didn't think he could sneak onto Sefirah Castle, but he was simply curious and wanted to use Audrey's eyes to see what the "Sefirah Castle" that stood side by side with the Chaos Sea looked like.

"Well, Audrey hasn't firmly stood on our side until now. What is she still hesitating about?"

After seeing Audrey's file and hearing her reasons for wanting to advance the "Manipulator" potion, Hermes was basically certain that she was the same person as himself. After inviting her to join the "Twilight Hermits", Hermes was more satisfied with Audrey. She was young and energetic. While possessing divinity, she was not confused by it and thought that she was high above and could play with others at will.

If she became a member of our side, she would definitely be a rational and benevolent being.

Hermes has always been very good at judging people.

"Did The Fool make any other promises to her? She doesn't look like she's accepted any suggestions or brainwashing... It's rare for gods to fight for believers. Let the two big guys fight for it. I'll wait here peacefully and visit Audrey when she comes back."

Talking to himself, Hermes gradually disappeared.

……

Inside Sefirah Castle, Klein sat on the high-backed chair of The Fool, allowing the gray-white mist to cover his body.

Antigonus walked to the end of the long table and sat in the seat of "the world".

Klein thought about it. In his memory, the puppet of his "world" seemed to be just a blurry one, without many body movements, and with unclear hair and eye color, as if it was a mysterious person wearing a black robe. So he let some mist condense into a dark cloak and fell on Antigonus, blurring his outline and figure, and making it slightly clearer than the original "world".

After looking around and confirming the status of the crimson stars, Klein leaned back in his chair tiredly and slightly raised his right hand.

This meeting was a bit special. In Klein's opinion, there was no need to rush to hold it because he was obviously not in a very good condition. But he also wanted to meet with everyone in the Tarot Club. Although a lot of things had happened to them, they were still like some "anchors" in this world to Klein.

Not the believer kind, but the cognitive kind.

After going through so many things, his perception of this world and the normal speed of promotion had become a little fuzzy. Seeing that they were still similar to his impressions, Klein could breathe a sigh of relief.

At three o'clock, on both sides of the mottled long table, deep red rays of light rose up at the same time, freezing into Tarot Club members such as "The Hanged Man", "The Sun", "The Hermit" and "The Magician".

Judging from everyone’s expressions, you can tell that this afternoon’s gathering was somewhat unexpected for them, but also within their expectations.

To be honest, it is a bit abrupt.

Because I just suddenly declared "I have returned" before, and didn't say that the Tarot Club would be held normally on Monday afternoon a few days later. Klein's mood was very stable. Looking at everyone's expressions, it was obvious that they had guessed that the meeting would be held today, but because you didn't notify them yourself, and didn't convene them a few minutes before three o'clock like before, everyone was still a little surprised to suddenly return to Sefirah Castle.

Before this, although they had come to Mr. Fool’s kingdom of God on days other than Monday afternoons, they all had their reasons, and they knew they would be pulled in in advance—either because they had applied for a small gathering in advance, or to avoid the “Full Moon Whispering”, or to treat Mr. World’s psychological problems.

After several months, everyone had grown differently and experienced many things. They sat in their seats, looked up at the towering stone pillars and the ceiling where gray mist was flowing, and then looked at each other, and they all felt as if they were in another world.

"Justice" Audrey was the first to react.

After giving herself some psychological counseling and chatting with Irena and Susie, her mood had returned to normal. At this moment, she stood up first, as she had done in many previous meetings, and saluted the “Fool” at the top:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Everyone stood up, and no one forgot to greet each other before the meeting. Klein the Fool nodded slightly. He saw that after Leonard stood up, he turned his head slightly and glanced at the World at the end of the long table. Then he obviously relaxed a little.

"Good afternoon, Miss Justice," said Fors.

Audrey immediately noticed Fors's gaze. She seemed to be paying special attention to her. Fors should still be living in Backlund. What made her notice her? Was it because the servants at home leaked the news that "Miss Hall married Intis" and Fors noticed it? Audrey's eyes moved slightly and looked at Xiou, but Xiou didn't seem to react at all.

No, if the news of my leaving Loen leaked out, other nobles and gossipers would definitely make a big fuss about it. Xio and Fors would have some thoughts after knowing it, but Fors was the only one who paid extra attention to me...

It seems like it should be something else... Xio is also looking at Fors, and seems to have something to say... What is she going to say to Mr. Fool? Their intelligence networks should overlap to a large extent, and they usually share information. It is unlikely that Fors is the only one paying attention to me... Could it be that they are temporarily separated because of something?
"Good afternoon, Ms. Magician, and Ms. Judge."

Everyone will probably share what they have seen and heard during this period of time, so I don't need to rack my brains to guess now... Audrey has already guessed it in her mind, and she is sure that her guess is basically correct. She greeted her two friends with a smile.

At the same time, she noticed that everyone's movements seemed to be slightly different from before.

The "audience" can quickly build a simple character image through observation and analysis, and will not forget it for a long time. Audrey compared it with her past memories and found that Mr. "Moon"'s body language no longer had the exaggeration and arrogance that could not be hidden before. Although it still existed, it was obviously restrained, and he seemed to have his own thoughts;

The Hanged Man and the Sun made eye contact at the beginning. They must have a certain understanding on certain things. They looked relaxed while sitting, and seemed to be in a good mood and have something to say.

Other than that, Ms. Hermit seems to have not changed much.

Mr. "Xingxing" was almost the same as before, and his movements were even more casual, as if he had broken free from some constraints.

As for Mr. World, who was already a bit taciturn at the end of the long table... Audrey glanced back inadvertently when she sat down, and found that she couldn't get any information from his body movements.

Mr. World's sequence should be far beyond mine... He seems to have a sequence of main materials that restrains my "observation".

After they sat down and greeted each other, Emlyn the Moon glanced around and said:

"I want to know if the 'cultivator' and 'moon' paths are special compared to other paths?"

After asking the question, he added quite frankly without disguising himself:

"Everyone, maybe you don't know yet, I have now joined the Church of Mother Earth and am responsible for managing the Harvest Church and the surrounding areas. Therefore, I recently learned that the internal system of the Church of Earth is different from the normal one. It is divided into two parts: the God-favored and the God-loved..."

After Emlyn the Moon finished his brief description, Alger the Hanged Man, Cattleya the Hermit, Leonard the Star, and the others looked at each other. They were surprised, but none of them could give a reasonable explanation.

Leonard was a little surprised. He didn't expect Emlyn to find an opportunity to join the Church of Mother Earth, nor did he expect the Harvest Church to be rebuilt. This made him feel that the situation in Loen was even more confusing.

Of course, every member present, including "Sun" Derrick, could hear that the internal system of the Church of the Earth was abnormal.

"I'm curious about something, Mr. Moon." Hugh, who had worked with Emlyn before and knew each other's true identities, took the initiative to express his concern. "Are you worried that this situation may prove that there are some problems with the path itself, and even affect your future promotion and choices?"

Emlyn glanced around and saw that no one was asking him any more questions, so he nodded slightly: "Yes."

At the same time, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled, allowing Audrey to see the familiar proud vampire again: "There is another thing. I have received revelations from the ancestor and the mother goddess, and more than once."

Everyone showed surprised expressions.

According to the high-ranking clergyman, the archbishop, who came to take over the matter and taught him many things about the Church of Mother Earth, Father Utravsky, who originally guarded the Harvest Church, was a "God-favored one" who could distinguish the truth from false oracles and would not receive false oracles. He was often an extraordinary person outside of "Earth" and "Moon".

Emlyn is a vampire, a person trusted by the "God's Blessed Ones", and a person who has helped the church, so he is also trustworthy. According to this, he is a "God's Blessed One" who is easily tempted by evil beings in these two paths... Of course, the main reason why Emlyn pays special attention to this strange system is that the archbishop seems to have something to say, as if he is hinting that "the Mother Goddess sensed by the God's Blessed Ones and other extraordinary people may not be the real Mother Goddess"...

...Is there any other existence on these two paths that can impersonate the Mother Goddess and convey messages?

But this has never happened in other churches and channels. If we have to choose a possible existence that could impersonate the Mother Goddess...it would be the legendary "Original Moon"? But the Mother Goddess is a symbol of the earth and life, and the Original Moon is more like the "Moon".

Just then, they heard a soft sigh.

This sigh seemed to come from an age even older than the ancient times, originating from Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top of the mottled long table.

The Fool slowly looked around, and instead of explaining as everyone expected, he sighed and asked a question with a smile:
"Where do you think the source of the twenty-two extraordinary paths comes from?"

Everyone looked at each other, Cattleya pushed up her glasses, and began to express her own views first.

"The essence of the world is knowledge, the essence of knowledge is number, humans are number, the extraordinary characteristics of the twenty-two paths are also number, everything is number, it has been like this since birth."

This is the theory of the Moss Ascetic Order, and the present-day Church of the God of Mysteries has not modified or further elaborated on this theory.

Leonard also joined the discussion and gave a brief description based on his knowledge:

"The seven major churches all believe that Beyonder characteristics come from the original Creator, who incarnated into all things, including gods, humans, the sea, land, and Beyonder characteristics. Speaking of this, the True Creator proved this when he contained the 'Sun', and the content of His holy book has caused quite a bit of discussion."

The former members of the Orthodox Church were able to get different information from other angles. Leonard paused for a moment, and seeing that no one had anything to add or ask, he continued, "But later, the church quickly disclosed more details of the 'adjacent pathways' in a small range to prove that the real Creator had no connection with the original Creator, but only used this name, and would not covet the extraordinary characteristics of all pathways."

"But until now, the church still cannot fully prove that the two 'creators' have no connection or inheritance relationship."

After Leonard finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and was silent for a few seconds.

Because those who often attend the Tarot Club know that there is a chronological relationship between the "True Creator" and the "Ancient Sun God", and that after the authority was split and taken away, they still cling to the name of the "Creator". If the Orthodox Church wants to disprove it, it can either write down these histories in a relatively simple way and tell everyone the true origin of the True Creator, or explain the "Original Creator". Obviously, the latter is impossible to do, otherwise it will create a class relationship between the gods. What if a Church of the Original Creator rises up and thinks it is higher than the Seven Gods?
The former cannot avoid the God-forsaken Land and the Banquet of Betrayal, as well as the origins of the three gods' thrones, which further shakes the justice of the Orthodox Church.

The Hanged Man Alger nodded slightly and said:
"Although there are many explanations for the origin of Beyonder characteristics, most of them point to the original creator. This is true for the Church of the True God, the Aurora Society, and the City of Silver."

"In other words, it is a relatively consistent understanding that Beyonder characteristics originate from the original Creator?" Audrey Justice asked thoughtfully.

She thought of the title "Original God". Is there a difference between "original" and "first"? If so, what is the difference? If not, does God think that he is an incarnation of the Creator?
The Psychological Alchemy Society mainly studies the spiritual world and the ocean of collective subconsciousness, and lacks a complete theoretical explanation for the origin of extraordinary characteristics.

"That's about right." Alger, the "Hanged Man," did not hide his opinion.

Everyone began to express their opinions, but except for the "number" point of view, everyone else could not avoid the "original creator."

Klein was in no hurry to answer. He thought for a moment whether the people in front of him needed to know about "beginning", "original", "starry sky", "moon", and "mother" - it seemed that no one did. The only one who needed to have a brief understanding was Emlyn.

In the past, Klein wouldn't mind sharing his secret knowledge with everyone, trying to get more feedback and completion, but now - he knows everything, so he is no longer willing to share this super-level knowledge.

Since the matter had nothing to do with him, the "magician" Fors had been listening leisurely. At this time, he asked curiously:
"Dear Mr. Fool, it seems that what you mean is that most of the Beyonder characteristics come from the original Creator, with the exception of the two paths of Cultivator and Moon. Where do they come from?"

Klein the Fool said casually and concisely:

"Starry sky."

"Starry sky"... "Moon" Emlyn was a little confused, but he felt that this word must have some deep meaning and wanted more explanation.

Klein looked at their expressions and suddenly made a joke out of interest.

"Just like you thought, these two paths fell from the starry sky, that is, from the sky. However, there are more than just these two paths that fell. Among the current twenty-two paths, there are others that are also like this."

Everyone in the Tarot Club was shocked, not only because of the information, but also because Mr. Fool's tone was very different from before.

In the past, Mr. Fool was very steady and always gave advice with very few words, but now Mr. Fool has a more leisurely and contented aura. Alger, the Hanged Man, immediately guessed that this must be because something happened during this period of time! Mr. Fool temporarily left the Kingdom of God and warned everyone not to pray. Although it seemed that he had encountered danger or a powerful enemy and had to hide, in the end he took back more power and authority!
He is now... maybe he is already a true God?

Klein tapped the back of his hand slowly. He looked at Xio and Fors, and finally did not mention that "lawyer" and "arbitrator" were equally dangerous paths.

"Mr. Fool..."

Emlyn was also shocked by the tone, but his curiosity prevailed, and he quickly asked, "Why do the characteristics come from the starry sky?"

"Even according to common belief, shouldn't the characteristics come from gods, or the original creator?"

Klein looked at him and nodded slightly.

"you are right."

Seeing that Emlyn didn't seem to understand, Klein couldn't help but sigh slightly. After sighing, Klein felt that his performance seemed a bit exaggerated. Looking at the others and Emlyn, they looked even more frightened. Klein was in a good mood. He smiled and said concisely:

"Yes, there is a 'mother' in heaven."

“Both pathways are His children.”

Emlyn was slightly stunned, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

There was originally a "Mother" in the sky - this is what Mr. Fool called the "Mother Goddess" in the sky! She looks exactly like the Mother Goddess of the Earth! These two paths from the "Mother" in the starry sky were lost on Earth... In other words, whether it is the ancestor symbolizing the "moon" or the Mother Goddess who controls the "Earth", they actually come from the "Mother" in the sky?
This, this doesn't mean...

The First Ancestor and the Mother Goddess are both children of that mother?

Mr. Fool's next words, with a smile on his face, gave Emlyn's nonexistent goosebumps a burst:
“He is calling you from heaven even to this day.”
