Chapter 517: The Hanged Man's Guess

January 17, 2020 · 5 min read · 1,051 words

Startled, another doubt surfaced in the heart of "The Hanged Man" Alger:

Since "The Fool" had foreseen this, why did He still point out that the matter of was related to the "Redemption Rose" and the "Angel King" ?

Did He deliberately tell us?

Hoping to spread this matter through us?

His target is the "Angel King" Medici? No, the more likely target is the ""!

"The Fool" has repeatedly thwarted the schemes of the "True Creator" before, this time should be no exception... The term "Redemption Rose" appeared in an abandoned temple of the "True Creator", founded by the "Angel King" Medici and Urolucius, which obviously has a deep connection with the "True Creator"...

Bansy Harbor only has our Storm Church; is the person "The Fool" truly informing actually me?

"The Hanged Man" Alger vaguely understood something.

Then, he keenly detected a problem:

Last time, "The World" mentioned that a major event would occur in , and it was immediately confirmed by "The Fool", which later led to the awakening of the "Primordial Witch" and the descent of the "True Creator". This time, he spoke of the anomalies in Bansy Harbor, which also received a response from "The Fool", unveiling the secrets of ancient Bansy and revealing the "Redemption Rose" and the "Angel King" Medici to the members of the ... Isn't this too, too coincidental?

Hmm, the information "The World" spoke of before was all related to Backlund; this is the first time he has involved maritime matters. And "The Fool" mentioned last week that His believer had to leave Backlund due to the Great Smog Incident, and the two coincide.

So, "The World" is actually a believer of "The Fool"? No, he should be the representative of all His believers in the Tarot Club, doing things for "The Fool" that He is not convenient to do directly. Of course, the believer will also trade items and knowledge through this gathering, achieving self-improvement; this counts as "The Fool's" cultivation of him.

Think carefully, this guess is likely correct. At least, "The World" has never collected Roselle's diary to exchange for knowledge or information from "The Fool"... As His believer, this is his duty; he should have submitted it privately!

From this conclusion, some deliberate questions and contradictory behavior of "The World" are to conceal his identity as a believer, which is consistent with his experienced and cunning nature.

"The Fool" organized the Tarot gathering. Besides the hidden intention of gradually reviving and unsealing step by step, He also aims to use us to interfere in certain events. This can be seen from the composition of the members: upper nobles, church bishop-level Beyonders, survivors of the Forsaken Land, students of the Abraham family, adult vampires; each represents a faction or a circle, a channel.

Many thoughts flashed. "The Hanged Man" Alger was not oppressed by his own guess, but rather somewhat excited. For him, the unknown purpose of "The Fool" was the most terrifying thing. If he could initially understand what He wanted to do, he could effectively avoid risks and thus improve himself.

As long as "The Fool" wants to use us to do things, He will definitely give certain benefits; this is what I am looking forward to... Otherwise, I don't know when I can see the hope of becoming a half-god, half-person... Heh, "The World", you certainly can't guess that I have seen through your disguise... Alger's frightened emotions eased, and he began to think about how to use the information on Bansy Harbor.

He couldn't just report the news directly; that would arouse suspicion. He had to patiently wait for an opportunity that would both earn appreciation from the higher-ups and rewards, and avoid scrutiny.

"Justice" Audrey could tell that "Mr. Hanged Man" had undergone a psychological journey, but she couldn't imagine that he could come up with so many thoughts and guesses in such a short time.

From the words of "The Fool", she happily learned that "Redemption Rose" was a secret organization established by some of the "Angel Kings" and had some relationship with the "True Creator".

At the same time, she also vaguely noticed the strangeness of "The World", discovering that this member, whose expression was the hardest to read, was always involved in big events, could always find out very important information, and kept offering formulas, materials, and characteristics, seemingly hunting one Beyonder every one or two weeks!

He left Backlund and went to sea? Or are these rumors he heard in Backlund? Should I tell this information to the Church? Hmm, "Mr. Hanged Man" has a close relationship with the Storm Church, and if he does it, the effect will be better and there will be fewer problems... Audrey suppressed her urge to pry and asked curiously:

"Honored 'Mr. Fool', what is the title of the 'Angel King' Medici, or which pathway does He belong to?"

Klein leaned back in his chair and chuckled:

"Red Priest."

Red Priest? Which pathway is that? It sounds very close to "Black Emperor"; can it be another Sequence 0 title? "Justice" Audrey thought excitedly and happily.

Red Priest... "Sun" Derrick silently recited this term and found that there was no record in the history of Silver City.

Maybe I haven't read enough materials; I've only received general education... he thought with some regret.

"Magician" Fors and "Moon" Emlyn listened as if hearing a story, also quite interested in similar information.

The only problem is that I can't boast to others, can't write it into a novel! Fors felt regretful.

"Mr. Hanged Man" should report this upwards; hopefully he won't delay too long... With his shrewdness, he might have already seen some of "The World's" problems and grasped the relationship between "him" and "The Fool". Fortunately, from very early on, I deliberately overlapped "The World's" persona with Sherlock Moriarty, giving the identity of a believer. "Mr. Hanged Man" can at most sense this level; he can't imagine that "The World" is actually a fake persona... "The Fool" Klein raised his hand and touched his chin, smiling:

"Continue."

Seeing that "Mr. Fool" no longer spoke of the topic just now, "Moon" Emlyn, who had broken free from the mood of salvation, began to face the practical problem.

That is, the lack of money!
