November 5th, Monday, three o'clock in the afternoon.
After a busy and fulfilling week, it was time for the Tarot Club meeting again.
Above the Gray Fog, within the great hall that was essentially unchanging except when Klein was courting death, as crimson Stars burst forth with light, figures condensed on both sides of the Bronze Table, instantly making the previously somewhat desolate Gray Fog lively.
Although my father promised to organize a charity gathering, the number of people it can help is actually limited. Is there a better way… Because of Lin Ruo's influence, Justice Audrey experienced the suffering of the lower-class people earlier and felt compassion for them. She had been troubled since yesterday and silently sighed, suppressing all the worries in her heart. After all, it was already Tarot Club time, and it was not good to think about these things.
But I can ask the other members of the Tarot Club later if they have any good ideas… Justice Audrey thought, regaining her spirits. She was about to rise from her seat as usual to bow and greet Mr. Fool at the head of the Bronze Long Table when she noticed something different about this gathering.
There was a new member next to Mr. Chariot!
Our Tarot Club has grown stronger?
Justice Audrey, who had always had a strong sense of ownership, immediately applauded the growth of the Tarot Club in her heart and used her Audience ability to observe the other party.
Black hair… greenish eyes, very similar to my eye color… Hmm, he's not wearing a coat, and the top button of his shirt isn't fastened, so he seems to be a rather casual person… He's sitting so awkwardly, is he not used to such a proper sitting posture? But his attitude is very relaxed, not as tense as Young Miss Fors was before…
Justice Audrey, with great interest, silently labeled the new member with various tags, then noticed that this new member was quickly scanning his surroundings, not with an observational scan, but more like he was looking for something or someone.
Who is he looking for?
Justice Audrey immediately became interested and noticed that the new member's gaze finally rested on Mr. World. Although he quickly withdrew his gaze, this brief pause was enough for Justice Audrey to confirm one thing.
The new member and Mr. World very likely knew each other.
No, not just that… Justice Audrey subtly glanced at Mr. Chariot diagonally opposite her, because after withdrawing his gaze from Mr. World, the new member began to quietly observe Mr. Chariot next to him. He seemed a little puzzled, a little surprised, and a little uncertain.
—More precisely, when he was just scanning his surroundings, the new member had a startled reaction when he saw Mr. Chariot next to him. Although this reaction was well-restrained, it was still obvious enough in the eyes of a Spectator.
The new member also knows Mr. Chariot?
Oh, Mr. Chariot and Mr. World know each other. Could it be that the three of them are friends in reality?
Justice Audrey was uncertain, but no matter how many questions she had in her heart, it did not prevent her from standing up, bowing, and greeting Mr. Fool in a cheerful voice:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
With her leading the way, the others naturally rose at this time and began the established procedure of the Tarot Club, which had been going on for who knows how long, collectively greeting Mr. Fool.
Leonard was naturally one of them. Although this was his first time attending the Tarot Club, he had fortunately already taken a make-up class with Klein before the meeting.
Although Klein did not tell him the details of the Tarot Club members, only briefly mentioning that one member came from the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and then introduced him to the various procedures of the Tarot Club, as well as the common knowledge popularized at the Tarot Club, it was still enough for Leonard to know these basic procedures.
Even though he was still almost a beat late, Leonard still managed to keep up resiliently.
And after bowing and sitting back down, Leonard couldn't help but secretly glance at the Tarot Club member sitting next to him.
There was no other reason, mainly because Leonard felt that the other party looked particularly like someone.
But, but there's already me and Klein in the Tarot Club, plus Your Excellency Blessed, there are too many people related to the Goddess at this gathering!
As Leonard thought this, he heard Mr. Fool at the head of the Bronze Long Table speak faintly:
"This is Mr. Star. You all introduce yourselves!"
So why is it Star… Leonard, who really disliked his codename, sighed in his heart, finally shifting his attention from the person next to him, who looked suspiciously like Your Excellency Lin Ruo Blessed, and began to pay attention to the others.
While Leonard was observing the others, Lin Ruo's smile next to him became even brighter.
Of course, Lin Ruo couldn't help but notice Leonard's previous furtive observation.
To be honest, Lin Ruo wasn't too surprised that his identity was exposed so quickly. He used his usual appearance when participating in the Tarot Club. Although he had made some disguise, Leonard and he were, after all, familiar. Even with a disguise and the Gray Fog blocking, being able to recognize him at a glance… well, it was quite keen.
One could only say he lived up to his reputation as the top identity-revealing expert in "Lord of Mysteries."
The only problem was probably that this silly rabbit's observation was too obvious. Not to mention Justice Audrey, who was a Spectator, even Magician Fors had more or less noticed something. The Hanged Man Alger was even circling them three with a look of surprise and uncertainty, clearly having grouped them into one circle.
Although Lin Ruo didn't mind being recognized by Leonard, the current situation made him highly suspect whether Leonard's identity would be exposed, thus dragging all three of them down.
By the way, didn't Klein give the silly rabbit a make-up lesson? Is this all?
Lin Ruo silently gave Klein's teaching level a thumbs down in his heart.
Little did he know that Mr. Fool was also wronged. He had reminded Leonard to hide his identity well above the Gray Fog, such as absolutely not wearing Red Gloves to the Tarot Club, trying to change his accent, and being careful not to use official terms like 'Tier 1' or 'Tier 2' when mentioning mystical items, etc. He had really worried himself sick.
But who would have thought that Leonard could recognize Lin Ruo at a glance?
You're usually not this keen. Did you use all your intelligence on exposing people's identities?
Klein didn't understand.
And after everyone had introduced themselves, Lin Ruo looked at The Hanged Man Alger and said with a smile:
"I've already obtained the Ocean Songster formula. The corresponding characteristic will have to wait a bit longer. Do you want to trade the Ocean Songster formula now, or wait and trade it together with the characteristic later?"
Lin Ruo, of course, knew that as soon as he said this, it meant his identity was completely exposed to Leonard. But now that things were like this, he didn't care if it was exposed even more thoroughly.
Getting the coordinates of the mysterious island from The Hanged Man was more important.
