In the ancient palace above the
Collaborating with the royal faction, the ones investigating me and Xio are the
Although she had experienced many things in the past, she had never before realized so clearly that the Beyonder path was fraught with thorns, and any single mistake could lead to extremely terrible consequences.
From now on, I must be careful, careful, and even more careful... Of course, the prerequisite is being able to survive this incident under the watch of an Angel King, Adam. May, may "Mr. Fool" protect me! Fors reflected seriously and silently prayed.
"Judgement" Xio also hadn't expected her own situation to be so difficult. She hadn't thought that an Angel King would be involved behind the scenes. She couldn't help but feel frightened and awed for a moment. However, she had already embraced the idea of sacrificing herself for the truth, so she quickly calmed down. She couldn't help but turn her head to glance at "The Magician," feeling guilty for dragging her friend into such a predicament.
Now, crying and repenting couldn't solve the problem. They could only do their best to deal with it and try their hardest to let Fors survive at the critical moment... At least there was still Mr. Fool's protection... "Judgement" Xio muttered to herself and looked towards "Justice" Audrey. "What do we do next?"
Regarding the recommendation from Miss "Justice" back then, her feelings were quite complicated. On one hand, she knew that the other party had recommended her to the
Hmm, it must have been that I voluntarily chanted Mr. Fool's honorific name and was pulled in. There was no coercion involved. In the end, sitting here was mainly my own choice, and it had nothing to do with Miss "Justice". Besides, if it weren't for her recommendation, I might never have had this chance, never been able to grow and seek the truth... Xio bit her lip and took a subtle, deep breath.
Recognizing the situation, Audrey had the most complete picture of the Twilight Hermit Order, Hermes, and Adam, so she was the calmest at the moment. She just hadn't expected that Fors and Xio, simply by casually mentioning the "Angel of Imagination," would actually draw his attention.
This made her truly realize, like never before, the horror contained in the saying, "All words are heard."
After pondering for a moment, Audrey looked at "The World" Gehrman Sparrow and tentatively interpreted his words: "Is Mr. Fool saying that He doesn't want to be directly hostile to the Twilight Hermit Order for now, meaning we can do it indirectly?"
Klein nodded slightly. "That should be the case."
"Does 'indirectly' include interfering with divination, observation, and prophecy?" "Justice" Audrey asked thoughtfully.
In this small gathering, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow represented Mr. Fool's will.
Klein chuckled and said hoarsely, "Maybe it needs to be even more indirect."
He was quite vague in his reply because "The Fool" hadn't figured out how to do it either.
Their conversation seemed to inspire "The Hanged Man" Alger. He looked at "Justice," "The Magician," and "Judgement" in turn and said, "Which of you is a follower of the 'Goddess of the Night'?"
He was almost certain that at least one of the three ladies was a believer of the Goddess of the Night. After all, the combination of being from Loen, a resident of
"I am." "Judgement" Xio didn't hide it. "Justice" Audrey raised her hand slightly as well.
Seeing this, "The Hanged Man" Alger nodded slightly. "We can try to create some misdirection, making the matter of Hewin Lambis look like the work of the
When he said this, Alger cleverly changed his pronoun. He was only invited as a "consultant" and wouldn't actually participate in the matter. He should have said "you guys," but he used "we."
Shifting the blame to the Church of the Goddess of the Night... Why does this idea feel so familiar...? Klein, disguised as "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, felt a strange sense of absurdity.
"How should we misdirect them?" "Justice" Audrey's eyes darted as she quickly asked.
"The Hanged Man" Alger looked around and said, "Hewin Lambis only hypnotized you into not seeking protection, not being in key positions during the Church of the Goddess of the Night's High Mass, and not getting baptized, but he didn't stop you from meeting the Church's archbishop. You can easily create an opportunity to see the archbishop. Of course, don't say anything. That way, when Hewin Lambis dies or disappears, the Psychology Alchemists will most likely suspect that the Church of the Goddess of the Night detected some problem with you and set a trap using this."
Before Miss "Justice" could respond, he turned to "Judgement" Xio. "After being hypnotized, before leaving Backlund, find a nearby Church of the 'Goddess of the Night' and sincerely offer a prayer. Act like a spy that the Church of the Goddess of the Night planted in the Tarot Club. This will make the Psychology Alchemists mistakenly believe that the Hewin Lambis matter, although seemingly done by our Tarot Club, is just a smokescreen, and the real manipulator is the Church of the Goddess of the Night..."
Acting like a spy planted in the Tarot Club by the Church of the Goddess of the Night... Hmm... Klein inexplicably felt a pang of guilt while listening. He wasn't a fake blessed of the Night! And Leonard wasn't a fake "Red Glove"! In fact, the convener and presider of the Tarot Club, Mr. Fool himself, also traces the Crimson Moon over his chest... Klein muttered in his mind with both amusement and resignation, and this gave him quite a bit of inspiration.
"This can only fool ordinary Beyonders. Without the blessing of Mr. Fool's Angels, the high-ranking members of the Psychology Alchemists can easily figure out the truth," "The Hermit"
"The Hanged Man" replied, "So, the key point is still to have Mr. Fool's indirect protection. Otherwise, how can we, at our level, possibly deceive the Spectator pathway's Angel King, Adam? Also, Miss 'Judgement,' Miss 'Magician,' when you go to pray at the Church of the Goddess of the Night, it's best to make a supplication to Mr. Fool, asking Him to help you break free from the hypnosis so that you don't end up leaving Backlund just like that."
"Under these circumstances, Backlund is safer than anywhere else."
