Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 146 Another Tarot Meeting
Monday, October 12.

At 2:45 p.m., Klein entered the bathroom with a newspaper and began to actively prepare for this week's Tarot gathering.

Three o'clock sharp.

A deep red and illusory light rose up, and the members of the Tarot Club appeared one by one on both sides of the long bronze table.

Audrey, the Justice, stood up and cast her eyes towards the head of the bronze table. She lifted her skirt slightly and bowed.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool! Good afternoon, Mr. Lover! Good afternoon..."

Her brisk and joyful voice broke the eternal silence above the gray fog. Miss Justice's greeting had become a routine in the Tarot Club, and no one would try to interrupt her at this time.

Audrey greeted the members of the Tarot Club and looked at the figure shrouded in gray fog and said:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I got three new pages of Russell's diary."

Audrey was very excited because these diaries were sent to her by Miss Eslante. She knew that she was interested in Emperor Roselle's diaries, so in order to further attract her to join the Psychological Alchemy Society, she would bring some diaries to each class.

Magician Fors also stood up and bowed slightly, saying:

"Mr. Fool, I wrote down three more pages of Roselle's diary."

"Not bad."

Klein sighed in his heart. The current Miss Magician has the support of the Abraham Family. With the connections and financial resources of the Abraham Family branches around the world, it is easier for her to collect Roselle's diary than Miss Audrey.

In almost every Tarot Club in the past few weeks, Miss Magician and Miss Judgement have consistently contributed a total of six pages of Roselle's diary. In fact, Klein suspected that she had more diaries. The reason she only contributed three pages was because her strength was only Sequence 8, and she could only remember three pages.

"What kind of reward do you want?" Klein asked with a smile.

Audrey answered sincerely:

"Just think of it as reward for answering my question before, okay?"

For thought for a moment and asked:

"Mr. Fool, I hope the rewards can be accumulated."

Klein chuckled and nodded nonchalantly:
"can."

The two of them quickly materialized a total of six pages of the diary and passed them to Mr. Fool.

Klein took it and looked at it. The first page read:

"April 4st, I was a little suspicious whether today was April Fools' Day, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that there is no such holiday as April Fools' Day in this world!"

What did the emperor discover?
Klein's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to read:

"As I said before, there are at least five painting worlds in this world! The Church of Knowledge, the Church of Storms, the Church of the Blazing Sun, the Church of Mother Earth, and the evil cult Aurora Society each have one. According to my latest information, these five painting worlds were all painted with the blood of a powerful god!"

"And I suspect that this 'powerful god' is the creator that the organization believes in!"

Creator?!

Klein's expression changed slightly, and he suppressed his emotion and continued reading:

"In ancient times, a great war broke out against the 'Creator'! The four existing Orthodox Churches and the Aurora Society were likely involved in it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they each obtained a painting world - this was probably their spoils of war."

"This means that at least five gods attacked the Creator at the same time, which eventually led to His fall. In addition, I seriously suspect that the Church of Evernight also has a painting world, and it is very likely that it is the 'original world'."

"The painting of the painting world is obviously related to the 'Dark Soul', and the 'painters' of the five painting worlds must also be from the 'Original World'. And if we follow this line of thought, the Church of Darkness is likely to be the 'culprit' who organized other gods to besiege the Creator!"

"But this cannot explain another question, which is why the Church of Knowledge, the Church of Storms, and the Church of the Blazing Sun are hostile to each other, and the three major churches are also hostile to the Aurora Society, and the Aurora Society is also hostile to the three major churches, but the Church of Night and the Church of Mother Earth can stay out of it. Is it because of gender?"

"Well, just kidding. It's definitely not because of something as superficial as gender. The hostility between them is most likely due to a conflict of interest. It's just that I haven't been able to find the key to their conflict of interest yet. After all, these people are all True Gods, Sequence 0s at the top of Beyonders. What other conflicts of interest are there that are worth making them hostile to each other? Hiss! I don't know, and I don't dare to ask."

This page of the diary ended here, but Klein's mood did not calm down because Roselle obviously knew something incredible. But he didn't dare to write it down, even in Chinese that others couldn't understand!

Klein could also guess what he had discovered. Russell had once speculated on the truth behind the law of conservation of extraordinary properties, suspecting that all extraordinary properties came from and only came from the original Creator, so they would not increase. If the assumption that the total amount was fixed was true, did this mean that the Lord who created everything was inclusive of everything, with the feminine, masculine, and neutral being one?
If this is true, it means that all extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness come from the Creator. The gods' rebellion is precisely to plunder the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness from the Creator. Only in this way can they become the true 'Sequence 0'!
As for the reason why those gods are hostile to each other, it is probably because if they want to become the next 'Creator', they must plunder each other's uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics!
As for why the Church of Evernight and the Church of Mother Earth were able to stay out of the matter, Klein also had no answer.

However, compared to Emperor Roselle, Klein also knew some information that Roselle did not know:

For example, the Creator believed in by the God-Forsaken Land and the Ancient Creator are probably not the same person. Another example is that the Amon family claims to be descendants of the ancient sun god, and the information he obtained from the divination of the Darkless Cross - the man wearing a cross and saying "Let there be light", the sense of déjà vu of the words "Let there be light" is so strong that it is hard for Klein not to be suspicious.

But he did not dare to think about it any further, and instead flipped through the rest of the diary as if to cover up his mistake.

These diaries are far less shocking than the previous contents, but they also reveal some secrets that ordinary people cannot know, such as:
"On June 5th, I got an ancient book, which actually mentioned the name of the original witch, but not the honorific name!"

"His name is Chick, which is a male name."

"Is this ancient book fake?"

Chick? Could it be that the "Original Witch" was also a man? Klein almost raised his hand to pinch his chin. This actually confirmed Russell's speculation about the "Extraordinary Characteristics". Maybe this Original Witch also participated in the siege against the Creator?
Klein collected his thoughts, looked at Justice, Lover and the others, and smiled:

"You can start now." Audrey 'Justice' raised her hand slightly and said without hiding anything:

"My request is the same as before. A complete pituitary gland of a young spiritual dragon, or 60 milliliters of spinal fluid from a black hunting monitor lizard, and a fruit from a psychedelic wind chime tree."

After saying this, Justice cast his gaze towards Fors. She knew that Fors had the support of the Abraham family. So at the Tarot Club, Fors was the most likely person to help her obtain these materials.

"I don't have any clues, but I'll keep keeping an eye out for you."

Fors shook her head. She had asked the Abraham family for help, and they said they would try their best to collect it. But the Abraham family had fallen into decline and was no longer glorious. They had many extraordinary items from the main channel, but they did not collect extraordinary items from other channels.

"I have a clue about the psychedelic wind chime tree."

The Hanged Man pretended to be silent for two seconds, then said, "But I can't help you get the materials in the near future. You may have to wait for a while."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Audrey smiled faintly. She had only been a psychiatrist for a short time, so there was still a long time before the potion would be consumed.

Klein wanted to remind Audrey not to rush. After all, Ember gave him the Darkless Cross as a reward, and Ember would sooner or later cause trouble for Hvin Rambis. Klein did not think that Hvin Rambis could escape his clutches, which meant that Ember could easily obtain a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic.

And Klein could use the Darkless Cross to help Miss Audrey separate the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 that she needed for free - as long as he gave her the remaining Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 7 to Sequence 9 as compensation.

But this statement was obviously not suitable for The Fool, so he couldn't ask for it. This made Klein start to think secretly about how to reasonably hand over the Darkless Cross to The World and let The World ask for it.

This is not difficult, after all, the identity of the World is already recognized as Mr. Fool's follower. And as the Fool, it is reasonable for him to give his followers one or two magical items, right?
"Mr. Lover."

Seeing that no one else spoke, the Hanged Man turned his gaze to Ember and said, "I hope to obtain the potion formula for Sailor Path Sequence 5 'Ocean Songster'."

Alger had actually been promoted to Wind Blessed over a month ago, and had originally planned to immediately seek out Yu Jin to purchase the formula for a Sequence 5 potion, but Yu Jin had already gone to the God-Forsaken Land by then, forcing him to put his plan on hold. Now that Yu Jin had returned, he naturally immediately made a request for a trade.

"can."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said, "At the next Tarot meeting, I will find a way to obtain the potion formula and give it to you."

"Thank you."

The Hanged Man heaved a sigh of relief. He had no doubt about Mr. Lover's ability to obtain the potion formula.

During this month, he actually did not completely pin his hopes on his lover, but had been trying to obtain the formula of "Ocean Singer" through his own channels and transactions within the Tarot Club, but he returned empty-handed every time.

After all, this belongs to Sequence 5, which is the level closest to demigod. The corresponding formula is already in short supply. Even if you have a lot of money and are willing to pay a large premium, it is difficult to buy it.

Normally, joining a corresponding church or organization is the most effective way to obtain similar formulas. However, as a member of the Church of Storms, Alger cannot rely on this method. Because of certain secrets, he must conceal his own strength in exchange for freedom of action and weaker surveillance.

After a brief silence, the Hanged Man looked at Miss Justice thoughtfully:
"I want to know the details of the assassination of Duke Negan and the political changes in Backlund afterwards. What reward do you need?"

Why ask me? Audrey was a little confused, but she quickly figured out Mr. Hanged Man's intention.

As someone who has close ties with the Church of Storms, he should have fully understood the details of this case. But what he wanted to know was the organization or force behind the Apostle of Desire. However, he couldn't ask Mr. Fool directly, thinking that it would be too abrupt and sound like an interrogation. So, he went around in circles and opened the topic by asking me.

After figuring this out, Audrey curled her lips slightly and said:

"No, there is no need for compensation. Isn't it the purpose of our Tarot Club to exchange common sense information about our respective areas for free?"

Only in this way can our Tarot Club grow rapidly! She thought with a sense of ownership.

"Your words shame me."

The Hanged Man was stunned for two seconds, then he put his hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly.

Audrey pursed her lips and considered her words.
"The Apostle of Desire used a special scenario and his ability to ignite intense emotions and desires to complete the assassination of Duke Negan. He successfully broke through at the cost of serious injuries and sneaked into the sewer, but was eventually killed by Mr. Fool's followers."

"And Mr. Fool's goal is to track down the organization that commands the Apostle of Desire."

"At the same time, the death of Duke Negan caused a split in the House of Lords. Although his eldest son is about to inherit the title and become a member of the House of Lords, his prestige is not enough to quell the dispute. Nearly ten members of the House of Lords jointly proposed that newly-titled nobles should also have the opportunity to obtain fixed seats. In simple terms, those who have been granted the title of nobility through political donations, charitable donations, and the purchase of corresponding land can become members of the House of Lords..."

Although she was willing to share some intelligence, she also concealed some key information, such as the name of the Twilight Hermits, and the fact that the Psychological Alchemy Society was likely a subsidiary organization of the Twilight Hermits.

This not only answers the Hanged Man's question, but also piques his interest to the greatest extent, making him willing to pay for the answer. As for what kind of reward he should use? Isn't it obvious? Of course, it's the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree!

Klein's expression became a little strange. It was obvious that he had guessed some of Miss Justice's thoughts, but that was why he felt a little uncomfortable: Miss Justice has learned bad things. She is simply well aware of the truth that "free is the most expensive"! Who did she learn this from?

Klein resisted the urge to touch his forehead. He knew without thinking that it must have been done by his lover!

Just as they had guessed, although Alger nodded calmly, his heart was filled with turmoil, shock and excitement. He wanted to impulsively pay the price to get the answer from Mr. Justice or Mr. Fool, but he held back.

"Mr. Lover!"

Sun Derrick raised his hand impatiently and asked excitedly, "I want to know if the place you arrived at when you went to the God-Forsaken Land was the Giant King's Court?"
