Chapter 514 Divination
The Tarot Club members were immersed in "Miss Justice's Wanderings in Dreamland" and suddenly heard Angel's question and turned their eyes to him.
"This name is not very common, but it has many references."
After a moment, the Hanged Man spoke.
His meaning was obvious: if you want to know, you have to be more specific.
Angel opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.
She didn't know much about the man with blond hair and a golden beard, dressed in a white robe. She only knew that he was likely a Sequence 2 "Angel" and that his ability involved the "audience" path.
If Audrey hadn't mentioned the "Dragon of Imagination" just now, which reminded her of the "Imagination" Adam mentioned, she wouldn't even have thought of asking a question.
"Perhaps a High-Sequence Beyonder from the 'Audience' pathway?"
She asked tentatively.
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Miss Justice, the only "audience" present, making the latter even more confused.
"One of the descendants of the Creator was named Adam.
"Do not mention this name outside of the Tarot Club, in any language."
Suddenly, Mr. Fool to her right knocked on the table and whispered.
This hint seemed to awaken Cattleya, the "hermit," and she immediately took over the conversation:
"Adam, the son of the Creator, along with Amon the Blasphemer?"
Son of the Creator, Amon... Angel immediately recalled the "Angel Kings" that had been discussed at the Tarot Club, one of whom was the "Angel of Time" Amon.
Then, is Adam, who is also the "Son of the Creator" like Him, also the "King of Angels"?
This title represents Sequence 1, or even higher than Sequence 1!
Moreover, compared to the "blasphemer" Amon, this "Adam" cannot even be mentioned by the outside world... Could it be that His power has become like that of a god?
She secretly glanced at Mr. Fool who had given the answer, then quickly looked away.
Klein's head was buzzing at this moment. Hearing Angel's words, he finally remembered the last time Angel fell into a similar state and emotion.
That was when the two were still in Tingen City and he hadn't yet confirmed that the "Queen" was Angel!
Angel had just returned to Tingen from Enmat Harbor, but she experienced a brief moment of confusion and panic during the Tarot Club. Afterward, she directly questioned what path the Beyonder ability of "being able to tamper with and conceal memories" belonged to.
The explanation given by the Hanged Man is the high sequence of the "audience" path.
This time she had a similar situation again and asked who "Adam" was...
Klein quickly found the memory of this name in his mind and confirmed that the "Adam" Angel mentioned was most likely a descendant of the "Creator" worshipped by Silver City, just like Amon.
At the same time, a lot of information obtained from Russell's diary also emerged in his memory one by one.
"Sequence 0 of the audience path, the Visionary", "The Twilight Hermit will connect the entire world to the real dream", "Everything spoken will be known"...
Therefore, he would remind her and hope that the knowledgeable "Hermit" lady would take up the topic and supplement the part that he was not clear about.
Of course, the most important thing was not to let other members mention this name in real life. Otherwise, this "Angel King" would likely find out and target them, and him, the "Fool"...
"'Angel King' Amon?"
"I haven't heard of this great man named 'Adam'..."
"He's not mentioned in the records of Silver City either."
Others followed suit, exchanging information and discussing the name.
But in the absence of more information, the discussion did not reach a useful conclusion, and they all turned their attention to Angel, expecting her to give further explanation after mentioning this name.
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure if this 'Adam' is the offspring of the Creator, the 'Angel King'. I just heard this name by chance."
Angel forced himself to cheer up and said apologetically.
Liing... Audrey beside her immediately came to the conclusion from her expression and actions, but did not ask further.
Today's "Queen" lady is obviously not in good condition. She can wait until the other party recovers and then ask in detail. This is out of concern as a friend and also the professional quality of a "psychologist"!
With this in mind, Audrey quietly steered the conversation in another direction.
In Angel's mind, only the name "Angel King" kept echoing.
That Adam, the mysterious man who changed her memory many times and even changed her from "Cole Granger" to "Angel Granger", is actually the "King of Angels"?
…
After announcing the end of today's Tarot Club, Klein quietly watched the crimson rays of light appear and disappear. Only he and "The World" sitting at the end of the long table in the gray fog remained.
Then, after he gave up control, the figure of the "world" also disappeared, and he was the only one left in the palace filled with gray fog.
He silently untied the gold chain on his left wrist, materializing parchment and a pen. Klein took a deep breath, picked up the pen, and wrote down the divination statement without hesitation:
"Angel's abnormality today is related to Adam."
If he wasn't above the gray fog, this divination would definitely not receive any response. Klein didn't know Adam at all and had never met him. After being separated from Angel for more than a week, their connection would weaken, greatly increasing the uncertainty of the divination.
Not to mention, according to Emperor Roselle, writing down this name could lead to the other party discovering it, or even locating it directly.
But here, Mr. Fool's "Divination" will be strengthened to the greatest extent.
By placing the main target of divination on Angel rather than Adam, the interference of the "King of Angels" can be avoided as much as possible.
After silently reciting it seven times, Klein held the pendulum and entered a meditative state.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, looked at his left hand, and his heart gradually sank.
The gold chain is rotating clockwise with a large amplitude and at a fast speed.
The amethyst, the same eye color as Angel's, was a little hazy in the gray mist, just like her confused and flustered eyes today.
This means the answer is yes, Angel's abnormal behavior today is indeed related to "Adam".
After putting away the gold chain, Klein pursed his lips and wrote another sentence:
"What caused Angel's mood changes."
He also did not choose Adam as the target of divination, but instead pointed to Angel, who was close to him and more likely to receive spiritual feedback.
Putting down his pen, Klein leaned back, his back against the high-backed chair, and entered a dreamland through meditation.
In the gray and illusory world, he soon saw a beach in the night. It seemed to be a small pier. A huge sailboat was burning beside the plank road, and dozens of figures were lying on the beach.
The picture gradually approached, passed by the ragged slaves, and stopped above an open space that had been deliberately left clear.
Angel was standing there with a puzzled look on her face. In front of her, a man with a golden beard covering the lower half of his face, clear and innocent eyes, and a silver cross pendant hanging on his chest was looking up at the sky with a warm expression.
His eyes met Klein's in his dream, and he chuckled softly, tugging at the beard on his lips and making it twitch.
Finally, he nodded and greeted Klein.
Suddenly, Klein woke up from his dream. He lifted his back off the chair and leaned forward, supporting himself with his elbows on the table. He was in a panic.
“Did he see me?
"Impossible, this is just divination, not peeping. It's like watching a video, it's not even real time!
"He probably just happened to look up at the sky, his eyes happened to meet mine, and he happened to smile...
"No, in mysticism, this isn't a coincidence; it's a necessity! He anticipated that I would see him through divination, looking at Angel at that moment, so he looked up at the sky and saluted me?"
Muttering to himself, Klein felt a chill on his back. Even though he was above the gray fog, in this almost absolutely safe place, he couldn't help but feel a hint of fear in his heart.
The parchment and pen were still there, but Klein no longer dared to perform divination.
With a light sigh, he left the gray fog and returned to reality. He stood up from the sofa and looked out the window at the port of Tiana.
"Conclude the performance as soon as possible and return to Bayam!"
At this moment, Klein, whose face looked as old as an old man, made a quick decision. He picked up the manuscript on the table, put on his coat, put on his thick-framed glasses, pushed the door open and walked out of the hotel.
For this performance that has not been resolved for a long time, and for the editor who is stubborn and unwilling to publish the novelist's posthumous works, he decided to incorporate some of "German's" style to help him make a decision as soon as possible.
Regardless of success or failure, tomorrow morning, I'll buy a boat ticket back to Bayam and start my journey home!
