No one blamed Melissa for crying and causing the picture to stop. Everyone remained silent tacitly, waiting for the girl to calm down.
Benson tried his best to maintain his outward composure, but his eyes were already red, and he couldn't hide it from the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Beyonder.
Mr. World really loves his family... Audrey's mood also sank. She reached out and gently patted Melissa's back, feeling the tremors of sobbing under her palm.
She thought of the past war, the ideological conflicts between her and her family and friends, her parents who loved her deeply, and many other things…
She couldn't help but think that if one day she got too deeply involved in the extraordinary field and had to stay away from her family... they would definitely be very sad and painful.
"Shouldn't it be a happy thing that he is still alive?" Anderson's words broke the sentimental silence.
Shit, can't this guy even read the atmosphere? Danitz, also reminded of his family, glared at him fiercely. He wanted to say something, but for some reason, the moment he saw the calmness on the pirate hunter's face, he swallowed it back.
"Believe me, in the extraordinary world, those who can be resurrected and retain their self-awareness like him are already lucky."
Anderson seemed oblivious to the piercing gazes around him. He shrugged and spoke calmly, "He's still alive, and you're all alive and well. Who knows, you might meet again one day."
"Also, although we don't know why the owner of this place invited us here and what their purpose is, it's obvious that your brother should be the protagonist of the film. You will learn more about him as you continue watching."
As Melissa listened, she closed her eyes tightly, bit her lips tightly, and wiped away her tears.
"...Thank you." Her voice was a little hoarse and she let out a long breath.
"Sir, has your family forgiven you?" The clown asked enthusiastically when Klein returned the costume.
Klein's eyes darkened for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He didn't answer directly. "Thank you for your concern."
As he walked out of the town square, Benson, holding the bouquet of selva daisies in his hand, left the circus with Melissa and took another route home.
When Leonard pushed open the door of Blackthorn Security Company. Luo Shan, who was behind the reception desk, suddenly asked, "Are you leaving too?"
The black-haired, green-eyed man was startled, his gaze unconsciously falling towards the captain's office. He said calmly. "Well, I've applied for a promotion and to join the Red Gloves."
"Siga said it's dangerous..." Luo Shan stared at him intently, her tone becoming increasingly intense, and she choked up faintly. "Isn't it good to stay in Tingen? Why do you have to get promoted? So many people... so many people have left. Old Neil. Cornley. Klein... and the captain. Isn't a stable life good enough?"
Leonard waited quietly for her to finish, then whispered, "I want to avenge them."
Luo Shan pursed her lips hard, which made her expression look a little cold.
"...Then go away." She said almost angrily.
"I want to join the Red Gloves." Daly's eyes were calm, like a calm lake with something settled underneath.
When Fors saw this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, finally remembering why she had always felt vaguely familiar with Ince Zangwill's name. In the "world" Gehrman Sparrow had fought in, which she had initially dismissed as a story, he was the first demigod to be killed.
Then, after Ince Zangwill's death, "Star" joined the Tarot Club... She used her excellent associative ability as a writer to connect all of this.
Well, Klein Moretti is Mr. Fool's favored one, and he wants revenge, so he seeks help from the World? And Leonard, the Star, met Klein Moretti while pursuing Ince Zangwill, and is he also involved?
At that time, "The World" said that it was him and his companions who killed Ince Zangwill. After "Star" entered the Tarot Club, he clearly showed that he knew "The World"...
They succeeded in their revenge... She inexplicably felt a sense of emotion and admiration.
The steam train roared as it traveled along the railway paved in the suburbs.
Klein Moretti sat in a crowded train, looking out at the scenery passing by quickly.
He seemed to notice something vaguely, his sight stopped for a moment, but he quickly lost sight of it due to the speed of the train.
The picture slowly moved in the direction he was looking, and he saw a carriage parked on a country road some distance away.
An ordinary-looking young man, wearing a black robe and an ancient ceremonial hat, sat in the carriage and withdrew his gaze from the distance.
There seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. He held a pen in his hand and drew a symbol on the paper.
It was a symbol of the "eye without pupils" that symbolized secrecy. and the "twisted line" that symbolized change, each missing a part, yet overlapping.
That was the symbol for Mr. Fool! Everyone in the Tarot Club could barely contain their expressions as they cast their gazes at the seemingly ordinary wandering magician outside the image, feeling a wave of surprise, astonishment, and suspicion.
This angel of unknown origin turned out to be Mr. Fool's favored one? They both had the same thought.
Besides the Archon of Death, the Serpent of Fate, the Ancient Evil, and Gehrman Sparrow, Mr. Fool actually has an angel! Cattleya was shocked.
She sat up straight and carefully turned her gaze away from the angel.
Alger's thoughts were similar. This was already the fifth angel... He secretly swallowed his saliva. He thought he knew that Mr. Fool's influence on earth was comparable to that of the Orthodox Church, but now he discovered that he had more hidden tricks!
After Leonard was stunned, he noticed something else: This angel was observing Klein? Why? Was it Mr. Fool who sent him here?
The wandering magician used all his clown powers to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth. He instinctively cursed inwardly: The owner of this space is really good at editing. He could actually edit such an unrelated scene into something so misleading…
Then, a thought struck him, and he thought, "If He wanted to expose my identity, there would be no need to do this... Because if it was later revealed that the wandering magician was Klein, the credibility of all the previous segments would be greatly reduced. So, since He didn't intend to expose this matter, He deliberately arranged this segment?"
"Well, at least he probably doesn't want people to know that the wandering magician Merlin Hermes and Klein Moretti are the same person....
"Of course, His purpose remains unclear, but He and I seem to be on the same page on this matter."
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Merlin Hermes' mind, and then he smiled calmly, appearing unfathomable.
As the "divine messenger of the "Fool", Danitz naturally recognized the symbol.
An angel... and quite a few demigods... His eyelids twitched, unsure how to react.
The Moretti siblings almost simultaneously turned their gazes towards the mysterious 'wandering magician', their expressions filled with suspicion, caution, and a touch of fear. The difference was that Benson was more reserved, looking away the moment he was touched, while Melissa didn't have time to disguise herself.
But when the man noticed her gaze and looked over at her, she averted her gaze as if startled, pursed her lips tightly, and seemed to be about to speak but stopped.
Audrey intervened just in time. After a moment's reflection, she realized she had already revealed her connection to The Fool in the film. She decisively abandoned any unnecessary attempts at cover-up and politely greeted the man in the black robe, "Mr. Magician, you appear to be Mr. Fool 's angel?"
She suspected that the other party was also well aware of the members of the Tarot Club, and this should not be hidden from Mr. Fool's followers. She also believed that if it was an angel under His seat, they would not care too much about the members of the Tarot Club, because this was the attitude of the gods.
So, she used these words to tell Benson and Melissa that the magician's identity revealed in the film was more complicated than they had imagined, and that there was a god-like being standing behind him.
At the same time, she secretly wondered what this angel's personality was like. Although she knew that Mr. Fool had many angels under his command, the only ones she had the opportunity to interact with were Mr. World, who had just been promoted to an angel, and the Serpent of Fate....
Mr. World possesses a gentle heart, and the Serpent of Fate is also quite approachable... Of course, Mr. Fool himself is quite friendly to the Tarot Club members, and perhaps the will of the gods has also influenced them... This gentleman's attitude is not arrogant or cold....
Speaking of which, since the owner of this space intended to bring all the Tarot Club members here, why did he deliberately avoid Mr. World and choose this magician instead? Even though the World itself might represent all of Mr. Fool's followers....
Audrey's mind raced, but she soon realized that this was a reflection of her nervousness.
Although the magician is suspected to be connected to Mr. Fool, his attitude and position are ambiguous. If this temptation angers an angel, even if he cannot retaliate now due to the influence of the rule book, it does not mean that he cannot take action after returning to reality.
For a being of his level, it might be as easy as crushing an ant.
Fortunately, the black-robed magician simply glanced in her direction thoughtfully, then replied with a smile, "I do serve Mr. Fool."
Klein's mind was full of thoughts, but he ultimately decided not to say too much. After all, the space's decision not to reveal his identity was just his guess. If he said too much now and the truth was revealed later, it would be more than just embarrassing.
At that time, it might not just be the collapse of the "world" character, but it might also affect other people's perception and trust of "The Fool".
Azik Eggers, who had been silent for a long time, heard this and looked deeply at the wandering magician.
He didn't say anything in the end, and seemed to be lost in deep thought.
After watching for a long time, Pales finally spoke again. He seemed to be stuck in a difficult puzzle, and his tone was uncertain: "Is he a miracle invoker?"
Well, considering Mr. Fool is a Sequence 0 of the Diviner Path, it's not surprising that he has a Miracle Worker besides Klein. Leonard had already made this assumption, and for a moment, he didn't understand why the angel in him was troubled.Hey, have you forgotten? With the number of Attendants of Mysteries filled, there can only be six Miracle Workers. Antigonus' half-Fool' and Little Zaratul each have an extra copy. Two are Sealed Artifacts, held in the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of the Storm Lord, respectively. One, you've probably seen its information; it's a 0-05 Wishing Lamp, even the True Gods can't do anything with it. The last copy is the 'Dark Demon Wolf' hunted by your former colleague, and it should be in his possession by now."
Leonard reacted quickly, a possibility subconsciously coming to his mind. Was this angel more than just a miracle worker? Was he actually a Sequence 1 Mystic Attendant?
"Of course, this could be because He is already in Sequence 1. This space affects perception. I'm not sure exactly what Sequence He is at, but I'm certain His path is adjacent to mine." Palleston paused before offering the following words: "However, there are other possibilities. He could be a planeswalker, or perhaps there's more than one True God of Night allied with The Fool. But beyond that, there's another possibility."
"There's a rumor that back in the Second Epoch, when the ancient god Flegra still existed, a Mystic Servant's trait and its corresponding Miracle Worker trait disappeared, and no one knew where they were." Pallez said this with a complicated tone. "Perhaps it had already fallen into the hands of the 'Fool,' who separated the Miracle Worker trait and cultivated this angel, the seventh Miracle Worker."
"That means The Fool has long surpassed Sequence 1. Perhaps through mastering Sefirah Castle, or perhaps something else happened during the Second Epoch, allowing him to become a being on par with, or even above, a True God. Otherwise, a Sequence 1 wouldn't be possible among the later Diviners."
Leonard was shocked when he heard this and couldn't control his stunned expression.
...Mr. Fool was a resurrected ancient god, a characteristic that had disappeared in the Second Epoch... He had to admit that the old man's final guess was quite possible!
This way, Mr. Fool's resurrection could be interpreted in another way. Perhaps it was because He had forcefully taken control of Sefirah Castle and become a being above the True God, leaving Him with troubles that forced Him to be "sealed" or "put to sleep".
The goddess might have joined forces with him in that era, as well as the ancient goddess Lilith at that time and the current Mother Earth Goddess... The more Leonard thought about it, the more his heart beat wildly, and he felt that he was getting deeper and deeper into some deadly secrets.
Edwina and Anderson exchanged a glance, each seeing the solemnity in the other's eyes. The angel's faith in the Fool, along with the strange reactions of the people around them, confirmed their worst suspicions.
The person who finally pulled these people back to their sense of divergence was the wandering magician himself, who had caused so much speculation. He tapped the table with his fingers, looked around with a smile and said: "Maybe we have ignored the film for too long."
Klein Moretti, dressed in a formal tuxedo and carrying an exaggeratedly large suitcase, stepped off the train and followed the surging crowd into Backlund, which was shrouded in a pale yellow mist.
The visibility in this city of hope was very poor, and it was already dusk, so visibility was so low that one could only identify the direction by lighting gas lamps.
He mixed in the crowd and walked to the lawn at the intersection, put down his suitcase, and unfolded the newspaper and map in his hands.
In the house rental section of the newspaper, an advertisement was circled: "No. 15 Minsk Street, Cherwood District... Townhouse..."
Emlyn White had been watching the film with an indifferent attitude, but when he saw this, he suddenly frowned.
He felt that this place looked familiar.
After thinking for two or three seconds, Beyonder's excellent memory helped him recall everything. Wasn't this the place where detective Sherlock Moriarty rented?
