Chapter 583 The Life of the Goddess

"The Fool" Klein and the other members took a few seconds to react before expressing their surprise.
Especially Klein, a believer of the Goddess, and "Justice" Audrey, they felt this was completely blasphemous to the gods!
But considering that this news came from "The Creator," they became silent.
After their initial surprise, the other members felt that this seemed like an acceptable fact. After all, they already knew that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was once a giant dragon!
However, they were still surprised. Could the origins of the gods be traced back to the Second Epoch?
"When I heard this news, I was also very shocked," Hobert said. "But it also seems very logical. After all, it is said that the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' controls both the 'Sleepless' and 'Seer' pathways."
"Moreover, when we traded information about the ancient gods, we mentioned the attendant gods of the ancient gods."
"Among them, the attendant gods of the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' included Salinger, the 'God of the Dead,' and Amanises, the 'Goddess of Misfortune.'"
"I only just learned that this 'Goddess of Misfortune' is the later Evernight Goddess."
So, Amanises is the true name of the Evernight Goddess!
Klein realized at this moment that his experience as a Nighthawk gave him a very unique feeling towards this god.
He hadn't felt anything when he heard the true names of other gods before, but hearing the true name of the Evernight Goddess felt very blasphemous! He really wanted to forget this name immediately, but the name lingered in his mind.
Alger, on the other hand, began to recall the names of those attendant gods they had traded before: At the time, he hadn't paid attention to these attendant gods, but now it seemed that after the ancient gods fell, their attendant gods played a significant role in the Third and Fourth Epochs. Currently, just from what I know, four of those attendant gods later became gods, namely the current God of Combat, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Evernight Goddess, as well as the fallen Underworld Emperor.
Cattleya realized: When "The Creator" was encircling and suppressing Amon's avatars, he asked "Emperor" to pray to the Evernight Goddess, and received the help of this god. Moreover, "The Creator" knows so many secrets about the Evernight Goddess. These two gods should have been very familiar before, right? Does that mean the origin of "The Creator" can also be traced back to the Second Epoch?
Audrey also thought of this: Do the Evernight Goddess and "The Creator," as well as Mr. Fool, know each other? Have they formed a broad alliance?
This made Audrey feel a little better because, in her opinion, these three gods were full of justice and should be on the same front.
Klein also belatedly realized that "The Creator" and the Evernight Goddess might have known each other before.
Then, he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity for "The Fool" to speak. Otherwise, the members had been discussing "The Fool's" pathway so much, but "The Fool" had not expressed any opinions on this, which would be very strange.
So, Klein, sitting at the head of the table, smiled and said, "Your discussion has reminded me of something!"
Everyone looked towards the head of the bronze table. However, Mr. Fool didn't say specifically what he had recalled, but this was enough to create corresponding associations in everyone's minds.
Audrey sat up straight: I knew it, Mr. Fool must know the Evernight Goddess. It's just that Mr. Fool seems to have only recently awakened from his slumber last year and may not have fully recovered his memories.
Alger also nodded in a "I understand" manner: Maybe Mr. Fool simply doesn't know Antigonus. After all, Mr. Fool was sleeping at that time.
Fors strengthened her previous guess: Amon's help to Antigonus was obviously to prevent Mr. Fool from suddenly awakening. It's a pity that Antigonus still failed, or rather, the arrangements Mr. Fool made before his slumber meant that no Beyonder of the same pathway could replace his position as a true god.
"Moon" Emlyn also pondered in his heart: No wonder the Ancestor asked me to attend this gathering. Mr. Fool must have recalled something about the Evernight Goddess. Since he knows an attendant god from the Second Epoch, there's no reason why he wouldn't know the Sanguine Ancestor, one of the ancient gods at the time.
Hobert smiled slightly and thought to himself: "The Fool" seems to have said something, but also seems to have said nothing at all. But this sentence is just right. This crisis public relations is good!
At this time, "Sun" Derrick, who didn't have a strong sense of identity with the seven orthodox gods, suddenly said, "Mr. Emperor, if the Evernight Goddess and the 'Mother of the Sky' are of the same race, why did the Evernight Goddess destroy the 'Nation of the Evernight'?"
Everyone was stunned: That's right, since they are of the same race from the Second Epoch, shouldn't they help each other? How could the Evernight Goddess simply destroy the "Nation of the Evernight."
Hobert took a deep breath and considered for two or three seconds before saying, "I have a conspiratorial guess here. Since 'Sun' has asked about this, I will share this guess with everyone."
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree with my view, just treat it as listening to a story."
Everyone held their breath and looked at "Emperor." Klein guessed that what "Emperor" was about to say was very likely to be black material about the Evernight Goddess, or black material fabricated by others.
"It is said that after the Blood Emperor fell, the Church of the Evernight Goddess also hunted down Antigonus." Hobert saw that everyone didn't quite understand what this news represented, so he further explained:
"If the Church of the Evernight Goddess attacking the 'Mother of the Sky' can be understood, after all, the 'Mother of the Sky' is an angel of the 'Sleepless' pathway, and attacking Her is to obtain Beyonder characteristics and further strengthen the power of the Church."
"But the question is, why did the Church of the Evernight Goddess also hunt down Antigonus?"
"Is it just because Antigonus supported the Tudor Empire? Then why haven't we seen other churches pursue Antigonus as relentlessly as the Church of the Evernight Goddess? Even now, they still attach great importance to the descendants of Antigonus and related cases?"
"Is it just because Antigonus is one of the gods of the 'Nation of the Evernight,' and they are afraid of his revenge after destroying the 'Nation of the Evernight'?"
Everyone then understood why "Emperor" wanted to emphasize this point. It was indeed a bit illogical.
Moreover, everyone could hear that although "Emperor" kept talking about the "Church of the Evernight Goddess," he was referring to the Evernight Goddess.
Klein first recalled the series of cases triggered by the diary of the Antigonus family. The Church of the Evernight Goddess did attach great importance to such cases.
Then, based on his previous experience as a keyboard warrior, he guessed: Could it be that the Evernight Goddess has some huge secret that she is afraid will be spread by her compatriot Antigonus?
This time, Hobert didn't give everyone time to guess, but simply continued: "So I heard such a guess that in the battle of the gods that occurred in the Second Epoch, the ancient god Lilith fell, taking with her the 'Mutant King' and the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf.'"
"That is to say, in that battle, the opponent of the ancient god Lilith was two other ancient gods?"
"How did She make two ancient gods perish with Her?"
"Before this, regarding this battle of the gods, I also found a related piece of information. It is said that Antigonus once personally saw the blood of the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' splatter on the 'Goddess of Misfortune.'"
"This information seems to be a specific description of that battle of the gods, but everyone think carefully, why would the blood of the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' happen to splatter on the 'Goddess of Misfortune'?"
Everyone seemed to have thought of something, but they always felt afraid to think further.
"Could it be that the 'Goddess of Misfortune' helped the ancient god Lilith, allowing the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' to complete the process of 'perishing together'?" Hobert said:
"Otherwise, the 'Goddess of Misfortune' is more likely to be dealing with the attendant gods of the ancient god Lilith. Why would She suddenly appear on the battlefield of the three ancient gods?"
Audrey immediately said somewhat excitedly: "Impossible! Absolutely not like that! Perhaps, perhaps She was just going to help!"
Klein, however, already felt that this might be the case. The reason was very simple: With a true god in the same pathway, if you want to become a god, you either have to jump to an adjacent pathway, or backstab the god of that pathway.
And the Evernight Goddess encountered a very tragic thing at the time: Not only was there a true god in the "Sleepless" pathway, but there were also gods in the "Warrior" and "Corpse Collector" pathways.
Then, if you want to become a god, there is only one way!
Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't feel that there was anything shameful about this. If it were him, he would do the same.
One reason is because the ancient gods have limited rationality, and such a boss is terrifying.
Secondly, it was a matter of survival. In an era when ancient gods could start fighting at any moment, even angels didn't have a complete sense of security.
Alger broke out in a cold sweat: I seem to have a chance to become a god? Heh heh, what am I thinking? After leaving the Tarot Club, will I be struck by lightning and turned into charcoal?
Cattleya smiled: The backstabbing between gods! If I hadn't joined the Tarot Club, how would I have learned about this information?
Derrick could now understand Miss Justice's feelings. Based on this lady's previous behavior, she seemed to be a believer of the Evernight Goddess.
During the previous Tarot gathering where they discussed the death of the Ancient Sun God, Derrick had also lost his composure like Miss Justice.
Some things are like that; you don't know how important they are to you until they are touched.
Audrey also realized her loss of composure: "Sorry, I mean, I mean..."
However, Hobert suddenly said: "If the facts are really as speculated, then I think the Evernight Goddess did the right thing!"
The other members were all stunned.
"During the Second Epoch, humans were a race that was slaughtered and enslaved at will by the ancient gods. Although they are called ancient gods, I feel that they should be the enemies of mankind!" Hobert said righteously:
"From the perspective of a human, there is nothing wrong with the Evernight Goddess obtaining the opportunity to become a god from such ancient gods. Moreover, as far as I know, the Evernight Goddess Church is one of the earliest secret organizations to protect humans."
"How early? Perhaps the secret organization of the same period was the Creator of City of Silver, that is, the church of the Ancient Sun God."
"So, it is undeniable that the Evernight Goddess sheltered many humans as early as the Second Epoch!"
"Miss Justice, do you think She did the right thing?"
Audrey fell into a long silence. She felt that her understanding of justice had changed again.
Before this, she was very disgusted with the view of "not caring about the process, only caring about the result", but today she realized that caring too much about the process would also give herself a lot of psychological burden.
So, after a few seconds, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I think you are right!"
Hobert smiled: "Congratulations, Miss Justice, you are not lost in the maze of universal values."
He put away his smile and said again: "Let's continue."
"Perhaps because the process of the Evernight Goddess becoming a god conflicted with the Demonic Wolf clan, She targeted other Demonic Wolves, such as Antigonus and the 'Mother of the Sky', to prevent their revenge."
"This can also explain why the 'Mother of the Sky' and the Evernight Goddess are on the same pathway, but the 'Mother of the Sky', as a member of the same race, is not an angel of the Evernight Goddess Church."
"It can also explain why, during the Fourth Epoch, Antigonus was loyal to both the Solomon Empire and the Tudor Empire, always standing on the opposite side of the Evernight Goddess!"
Cattleya leaned back in her chair and smiled slightly: Although "Emperor" repeatedly said that this was a 'conspiracy theory' guess, it was a very logical conjecture, and the truth was often so simple.
Alger also sighed in his heart: Among the current seven gods, four already have a black history. The godhood of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Lord of Storms all came from betrayal of the Ancient Sun God. Among them, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom had betrayed twice, once betraying the "Dragon of Imagination" in the Second Epoch, and betraying the Ancient Sun God in the Third Epoch.
He took a deep breath and continued to ponder these blasphemous thoughts: Today, I also learned that the godhood of the Evernight Goddess may also come from a betrayal. Then what about the God of Combat and the Earth Mother? And what about the God of Steam and Machinery? How did their godhood come about? Could there be similar stories?
Klein suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after "Emperor" finished speaking: The truth is often difficult to accept, but whether you accept it or not, it is the truth.
Then he controlled "The World" and asked: "Why did the 'Mother of the Sky' appear in the Evernight Goddess Church's cathedral?"
The other members all looked at "The World": What? The "Mother of the Sky" also appeared in the Evernight Goddess Church's cathedral?
Alger immediately thought: Back then, when the "Mother of the Sky" found it difficult to defeat the Evernight Goddess and couldn't escape, she simply joined the Evernight Goddess Church? This, this contradicts "Emperor's" speculation just now.
Hobert pondered for a moment and said: "Have you noticed that She doesn't seem to have any intelligence."
Klein understood Hobert's meaning: "That's a sealed artifact!"
What? The "Mother of the Sky" became a sealed artifact of the Evernight Goddess Church?
Even Cattleya and Derrick, who had a sense of separation from the orthodox churches, felt it was a bit unbelievable.
But thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. The "Mother of the Sky" might have formed a sealed artifact when she died.
[T/N: she aint dead lol]
Hobert neither nodded nor shook his head at Klein's words, because it was not just a sealed artifact.
Alger smiled and said to himself: This is the end of a loser.
In his opinion, didn't the "Sea God" Kalvetua also become a sealed artifact?
Audrey and Fors felt a little uncomfortable somewhere in their hearts, but they couldn't say exactly where.
Hobert finally concluded: "The 'Nation of the Evernight' eventually perished, the 'Mother of the Sky' became a sealed artifact, and Antigonus also disappeared."
Everyone fell silent again, savoring the information they had just exchanged.
A dozen seconds later, Klein controlled "The World" again and asked: "What is Zaratul's purpose?"
The other members were slightly stunned, Zaratul?
Then everyone thought of the Zaratul family of the Fourth Epoch. Cattleya and Alger also thought of the connection between the Zaratul family and the Secret Order.
This made Alger sigh: What kind of ruins did they encounter in their exploration last week? How can they be related to so many big figures in the extraordinary world?
"I have also done some investigation on this." Hobert said: "Do you want to listen yourself, or do you want everyone to listen together?"
This time, Klein ignored everyone's expectant eyes: "Listen myself."
Zaratul is different from Antigonus after all. Antigonus was a figure from the Fourth Epoch, but that Zaratul may have been a person from more than a hundred years ago. This may involve some secrets of the "Seer" pathway.
Hobert nodded: "Okay, I may ask you to do me a favor in the future, but the total value of this favor will not exceed 2,000 pounds."
"The World" nodded: "No problem."
So, in everyone's disappointed eyes, Klein, sitting at the head, established a separate communication space between "Emperor" and "The World".
"We have traded relevant information before." Hobert said: "The Zaratul family also has to start from the Fourth Epoch."
"It is said that the ancestor of the Zaratul family, um, let's call Him Big Zaratul, and the one we met in the cathedral is called Little Zaratul."
Klein thought of the white-bearded old man and felt that it didn't seem to have much to do with "Little", but in terms of seniority, that was indeed "Little Zaratul".
Hobert continued: "It is said that Zaratul hoped to obtain another Sequence 1 characteristic, so he was loyal to the Solomon Empire."
"However, that characteristic had not been found yet, and He died in the 'War of the Four Emperors'. The characteristic was seized by Antigonus."
Hearing this, Klein thought in his heart: In that case, Antigonus had gathered two Sequence 1 characteristics and a Uniqueness at that time. He was already an King of Angels only one step away from a true god!
He frowned: Two Sequence 1 characteristics have already surfaced, and both of them were once with Antigonus. I don't know if Antigonus has fallen or what his state is? In short, the whereabouts of these two Sequence 1 characteristics are currently unknown, and where is the last Sequence 1 characteristic?
Klein smiled bitterly in his heart: Hobert thought that the Sequence 1 characteristic was with "The Fool", so neither Antigonus nor Zaratul had any hope of becoming a god. Only "The Fool" himself knew that if there was a Sequence 4 characteristic, "Mr. Fool" would not have done such a dangerous thing as stealing notes from the bottom of Saint Samuel Cathedral.
At this time, he suddenly thought: The clue to the Sequence 1 characteristic that Solomon, or rather the True Creator, asked Zaratul to be loyal to, wouldn't it be the third Sequence 1?
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, during the Solomon Empire era, Antigonus had already joined the Solomon Empire as a "Concealment Servitor." Therefore, this Sequence 1 characteristic was obvious and didn't need to be searched for. Later, when Antigonus became the King of Angels of that pathway first, Zaratul wouldn't even think of targeting him. So, what Zaratul wanted to obtain must be the third Sequence 1 characteristic. By relying on two Sequence 1 characteristics, he could also become a King of Angels and be able to contend against Antigonus.
Seeing Klein in deep thought, Hobert waited for a while. Only when Klein seemed to have finished his contemplation did he continue, "Little Zaratul is interesting. I heard that he seemed to have had an accident while advancing to Sequence 3 and disappeared from the Fourth Epoch, directly appearing in the Fifth Epoch."
Klein was slightly stunned and manipulated "The World" to ask, "Was he sealed somewhere at the time? Sealed for hundreds or thousands of years?"
Hobert shook his head. "I'm not very clear about the specifics. It is said that he felt like he went from the Fourth Epoch to the Fifth Epoch overnight."
"The World" chuckled hoarsely, "What a strange encounter."
In his heart, he thought: Could this be considered time-travel?
Hobert continued, "The main reason we know some information about Little Zaratul is because he invested in Roselle after successfully advancing to an angel.
"In some of Emperor Roselle's notes, we can occasionally see some descriptions about Little Zaratul."
Klein behind the gray fog thought: So that's how it is.
With such a "source of information," Klein was even more convinced of what Hobert said.
Hobert continued, "According to some clues we found, Little Zaratul seemed to have obtained the Antigonus family's notes in order to advance to Sequence 1."
Regarding this point, Klein had seen it in Roselle's diary, and he also knew that the Antigonus family's notes were stolen from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery with Roselle's help.
Hobert said, "Do you remember our previous transaction about the Antigonus family members? Among the members of that family, there is a demigod. It is speculated that their ancestor may have been sealed in the Hornacis Mountains.
"I have verified this information with the great 'Creator.' The answer given by the 'Creator' is that if Antigonus is not dead, he should be there.
"It's just that we don't know what state he is in now."
When it came to high-level information about the "Seer" pathway, Hobert had to be as vague as possible, because just like the empty shell "Creator," if he spoke too detailedly, "The Fool" would easily be exposed!
Klein recalled some of his previous divinations. At this time, he was quite certain that Antigonus should be in the Hornacis Mountains, in an old palace.
Then he could also be sure at this time that the whispers in his ears every time he advanced were influenced by Antigonus!
At the same time, Klein realized that Hobert had concealed something in the previous transaction regarding the "Nation of the Evernight" and Antigonus.
He couldn't help but think: Maybe he wasn't too sure about the authenticity of this information, so he didn't announce it? Of course, it might also be because Hobert felt that this information involved Mr. Fool, and he didn't dare to announce it to everyone.
No matter what the reason, Klein felt that these 2,000 pounds were well spent. He wouldn't even mind paying this sum of money right now!
Hobert continued, "I speculate that Antigonus is indeed in the Hornacis Mountains, and that Antigonus family's notebook may have a subtle connection with Antigonus?
"Of course, it is also possible that this notebook records the hope that Little Zaratul needs to advance to Sequence 1.
"Well, I want to state again that most of what I am about to say is my speculation. I only know some fragmented information, and these fragments can only be filled in with speculation."
"The World" gave a muffled "Hmm." Hobert's speculations had always been very meticulous. Even knowing that it was speculation, Klein was willing to listen, because before knowing the truth, Hobert's speculation was very close to the truth!
Hobert continued, "In any case, Little Zaratul should have arrived at the Hornacis Mountains and obtained a Sequence 1 characteristic.
"And I think this Uniqueness is the Uniqueness that Antigonus seized from Zaratul back then, because Antigonus never had time to accommodate this Uniqueness due to the outbreak of the 'War of the Four Emperors.'
"Under the pursuit of the Evernight Goddess, he fled to the Hornacis Mountains with this Uniqueness and was severely injured by the Goddess there, or simply sealed there.
"Little Zaratul was detected by the Evernight Goddess during the process of advancing to Sequence 1 in the Hornacis Mountains…"
Klein was stunned and manipulated "The World" to ask, "Detected by the Evernight Goddess?"
"Yes, after all, that is the 'Nation of the Evernight.' The 'Foggy Town' we escaped from is also there. Advancing there, of course, the Evernight Goddess will detect it!" Hobert speculated:
"Perhaps Little Zaratul was detected by the Evernight Goddess as soon as he entered the Hornacis Mountains, so he had no choice but to advance in the Hornacis Mountains."
Klein suddenly thought of the palace they came out of from "Foggy Town": Could Antigonus and Little Zaratul be in those palaces?
Hobert continued, "So the Goddess intervened in Little Zaratul, and the specific process of intervention is unknown. My understanding is that a part of Little Zaratul's personality was sealed into 'Foggy Town.'
"I remember you said that Zaratul's advancement failed and he turned into a wriggling maggot. It may be because his personality was incomplete that he failed to advance.
"This seal by the Evernight Goddess may have been sealed for more than a hundred years, until we released part of Zaratul's personality a few days ago.
"Of course, much of the above is my speculation and is for reference only."
In addition to being surprised, Klein manipulated "The World" and asked, "Antigonus has the Uniqueness, and it may not be easy to kill. But for the Evernight Goddess, Little Zaratul should not be difficult to deal with. She can even split and seal his personality? Why not just kill him?
"Also, will our release of Zaratul's personality disrupt the Evernight Goddess's plan?"
Hobert scratched his head before saying, "Regarding your first question, I don't know the specific reason, but I have heard that the 'High Sequence' Beyonders of this pathway seem very difficult to kill."
Klein suddenly understood: It's not that they are very difficult to kill, but that they will be resurrected! If the Evernight Goddess kills them, they will be resurrected! And it is very likely that they will use resurrection to get rid of the Evernight Goddess's control. So the Goddess only seals them, which should be the best way to deal with them.
Hobert breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Klein's expression, he knew that he had understood, so there was no need to explain it in too much detail.
He said, "As for the second question, I don't think we need to have such worries at all.
"That is 'Foggy Town' after all, the Evernight Goddess's prison. If she doesn't want to let people out, I don't think we can release people no matter how hard we try.
"As for what the purpose of releasing Zaratul is, that is not something we should consider."
"The World" was silent for a few seconds before saying, "After leaving 'Foggy Town,' I divined Zaratul's current situation again and found that he seemed to have returned to normal. He disappeared from his original position, and I can no longer divine his whereabouts."
Even using this gray fog, he could not divine it. Klein suspected that it was because his Sequence was too low and the power he could mobilize was limited.
However, even if the Sequence becomes higher, it should be difficult to divine Zaratul's whereabouts. That is Sequence 1 of the "Seer" pathway, and its anti-divination ability should have reached a terrifying level.
Hobert nodded, "He should have his own things to do and won't have time to take revenge on us for the time being."
Mainly to take revenge on you! Klein said in his heart: It was you who threatened to scatter his ashes, I didn't say anything.
Hobert added, "The 20,000 pounds I promised you will be given to you later through a sacrifice to Mr. Fool."
Klein was stunned and manipulated "The World" to ask, "Are you taking action so soon?"
"No, I will pay you this money in advance. It will take some time before it can be used."
Klein suddenly asked, "Are light bulbs quite profitable?"
Hobert nodded, "They have made a lot of money, but they have also spent a lot. I have used the money to invest in other cities."
Klein said as if he was notifying him, "I will be going to the Southern Continent recently."
"It's time to go out and relax." Hobert spread his hands and said, "Staying in Backlund for too long makes you feel bored."
Then he added, "Write to me if anything happens."
"Okay." Klein instructed "The World", "I need to borrow the 'Tyrant' card for a bit. What compensation should I pay?"
Hobert didn't ask why he wanted to borrow it, he just said, "Borrow it first, and we'll settle it together later."
Then he added, "Oh, right, 'The Creator' agreed to let me trade this 'Blasphemy Card' with you, but the reward is a Beyonder material at Sequence 3 level.
"Given that you currently don't have the strength to provide such a reward, I can lend it to you first, and we'll discuss the specific transaction after you advance to a demigod."
"Alright."
The two ended their private exchange, and the trading session continued.
"The World's" gaze turned to Fors: "I have a commission."
Fors was slightly taken aback: "A commission for me? I recently…"
"Don't rush to refuse." Klein manipulated "The World" to say, "Help me contact the Abraham family. I want to obtain information about the spirit world city of Calderón from them, most importantly, its location."
Cattleya had some understanding of Calderón City: "World", why are you suddenly looking for this mysterious spirit world city? Is it an instruction from Mr. Fool?
Hobert thought to himself: No wonder he wants to borrow the "Tyrant" card from me. It turns out he plans to use the method of summoning himself to collect the Beyonder materials needed to advance to Sequence 4.
The other Tarot Club members didn't know what city "The World" was looking for, so they could only remain silent.
Fors pondered for a moment before saying, "No problem, I will help you inquire."
"The World" asked in a flat tone: "How much compensation do you need?"
"500 pounds." Fors smiled and said, "If you get the information you need, add another 300 pounds."
Klein manipulated "The World" to say: "Deal."
No other members initiated new transactions, so this Tarot Gathering came to the free exchange session.
At the beginning of this session, Alger asked "The Sun": "Have you investigated the matter of the former chief's mausoleum clearly?"
"Little Sun" replied somewhat shamefully: "No, I have been constantly assigned patrol missions during this period, and I have never had time to investigate."
Alger was not surprised by this. He asked somewhat strangely: "Why don't you find friends you are acquainted with to help?
"You can not tell them the real purpose, break the whole thing into small, inconspicuous tasks, and let them collect information on different aspects separately.
"This will neither expose anything nor implicate them in a dangerous situation."
Derrick was silent for a few seconds and then said somewhat shamefully: "I have no friends."
In fact, he originally had some friends when he was taking general knowledge education classes and training in the combat training ground, but after Derrick took on the secret of the Tarot Club, he gradually drifted away from these friends without realizing it, and there was not much contact.
The last time someone visited his house, they were polluted by the "True Creator".
Alger was choked by "The Sun's" answer, took a breath, and then reorganized his words: "This is not good for you.
"You can't save City of Silver by yourself. You must unite a group of people, have some friends who can provide you with help at critical moments."
Derrick said with some concern: "But, this will make them suspected."
Alger suddenly said seriously: "Being suspected is better than being killed!
"City of Silver is at a dangerous crossroads, you must consider carefully what to do.
"It is impossible for there to be no sacrifices in this kind of thing, and there may even be a lot of sacrifices. Do you want their sacrifices to be useless, or very valuable?"
Everyone listened quietly to "The Hanged Man's" advice. Hobert and Fors and other members sighed. "The Sun" should have been a carefree teenager at this age, but in City of Silver, he has to bear such a heavy burden.
Only Emlyn said in his heart: Is there still a choice? Does this guy think he has the ability to solve the problem of the Forsaken Land of the Gods? Even True Gods can't do this.
At this moment, Derrick's heart was full of struggle and pain. He realized that his previous actions seemed to have problems.
Alger didn't persuade him anymore, the rest needed him to figure out for himself.
No one else comforted him, because at this time, no language would have a comforting effect.
The hall was silent for a few seconds, and "The World" suddenly looked at "Justice": "Can you treat more serious mental illnesses now?"
Audrey's spirit perked up, and she eagerly replied: "Yes.
"Mr. World, do you have a friend who needs treatment?"
Klein sighed silently and made "The World" smile and say: "No, I need treatment."
Last week, after the operation with Hobert ended, when Klein went back to review, he realized that although Hobert seemed a bit reckless, his mental state was very good.
So Klein examined his own mental state. It was okay not to examine it, but after examining it, he found that his mental state was not very healthy.
The entire magnificent palace suddenly became quiet.
Alger and Cattleya both knew that Mr. World was the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow, but they never thought that he had already developed a more serious mental illness?
Hobert also sighed silently in his heart: I discovered long ago that Klein put too much psychological pressure on himself and became a little withdrawn. However, I also know that there is only one way to solve this problem: avenge the captain!
Audrey carefully observed "The World" with some surprise, and then recalled "The World's" previous words and deeds: "Mr. World, according to my observation, you should not have a more serious mental illness.
"If it's just simple anxiety, you can relieve and recover through self-regulation and self-relaxation, and you don't need to receive treatment."
"The World" smiled and said: "I am just making an appointment now. If similar symptoms appear in the future, I hope to receive timely treatment."
Audrey thought for a while before saying: "No problem, but I may need a friend to send me for treatment. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
She planned to have Hobert use "Travel" to send her for treatment if needed: It's so extravagant, seeing a doctor requires a demigod to pick you up and drop you off. If you weren't a member of the Tarot Club, the consultation fee alone would be a big expense.
"The World" said in a low voice: "Okay."
Everyone talked about some interesting things they encountered last week. When no one spoke, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Gathering.
… …
Empress Borough, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
After Audrey returned to the real world, she looked at the ceiling in a daze for a long time: Goddess… the Goddess is actually from the Demonic Wolf clan!
In the minds of other believers, God is God. This is a symbol, a sign!
But through several transactions of the Tarot Club, Audrey knew that God was once a Beyonder.
But in her subconscious, all the righteous gods should be human beings. Before, when she knew that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was a giant dragon, Audrey was just a little surprised and didn't feel anything.
At today's gathering, involving the Evernight Goddess she believes in, she truly realized the seriousness of this problem.
Audrey slowly got up and stretched.
The race issue can be put aside for now. The means by which the Evernight Goddess obtained the godhood made Audrey feel blasphemous just thinking about it.
She couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, and said in her heart: "This reminds me of a sentence Hobert said before, some things are better not known than known.
"At that time, I just thought he was complaining. Under my observation, I can see a lot of his thoughts. Today I realized that he was actually reminding me to use the 'Mind Reading' ability sparingly. Knowing too many things is not a good thing."
Thinking of this, Audrey put away her smile: Thinking about it this way, Hobert has repeatedly described to me in conversations that this world is not a black and white world. He has been trying to get me to notice this, to get me to mature as soon as possible, but I have focused on other things.
