“A new member? Last time, the ‘Hermit’ lady joined the Tarot Club, and now there’s another one… well, a gentleman.”
Above the gray fog, inside the Source Castle, men and women sat in different positions.
The woman is on the left, and the man is on the right.
The new member appears on the right and is definitely male.
Of course, Klein's larger version, "The Fool," and his smaller version, "The World," both sat in the middle, one at the head of the table and the other at the foot.
There are only two special cases in the Tarot Club.
"I wonder what sequence this gentleman is?" Klein asked with interest, turning his head to look at the new member through the fog.
Then he froze.
“Teacher Cao Ya?!” Klein almost exclaimed. The new member was an acquaintance of his, Cao Ya, who had once mentored him.
Cao Ya not only served as his teacher for a period of time, but also resolved the incident of the evil god's descent in Tingen City; otherwise, countless people would have died at that time.
Yes, Klein was the only one who died.
However, although he died, he was later resurrected.
So actually no one died.
As for Klein's resurrection, apart from Mr. Azik, only Teacher Cao Ya fully knows about it.
He dared not appear in public, nor did he dare to see his relatives and friends.
Things like coming back from the dead should be kept hidden as much as possible.
Otherwise, if the information leaks, countless people will try to get involved.
"Teacher Cao Ya is a new member of the Tarot Club?! That's wonderful!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Klein felt delighted.
Although he hadn't told Cao Ya his level directly, Klein guessed that he was at least a Sequence 4 demigod.
After all, he was a powerful figure who had fought against the offspring of an evil god.
Even though Teacher Cao Ya's situation was quite bad afterward.
Not only Klein, but other members of the Tarot Club also discovered Cao Ya's existence.
After all, someone that big can't be blind.
Although shrouded in fog, its true appearance was obscured.
"Moon" Emlyn White curiously examined the newcomer beside him, raising his head slightly. In this place, he could be considered an old-timer; both "The Hermit" and this new member had joined after him.
Moreover, he has already become a "Vampire Baron" of Sequence Six, a noble baron, and should take care of newcomers.
Emlyn White couldn't hide his smile, but didn't ask the new member's name.
To be honest, he has serious otaku tendencies.
Alger Wilson, the "Hanged Man," and Derrick Berg, the "Sun," both went over Mr. "The Moon" to observe the new members.
The Sun is too shrewd and didn't notice anything. He was just happy that the Tarot Club had gained another member and was slowly growing stronger. He was also proud to be a part of it.
The Hanged Man, on the other hand, had some ideas; after all, he was a seasoned veteran.
The new member was a man. He seemed to be thinking, but he wasn't panicked... The new member's rank should be quite high, and he should be quite experienced. He knew that in the event of an emergency, panicking wouldn't solve anything...
The Hanged Man suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He didn't feel anything when the Moon came in, but starting with the Hermit, two powerful newcomers appeared one after another, and he became less confident about his position in the Tarot Club.
Phew~~~ Thank goodness I advanced to Sequence Six...
On the other side, Fors was about to look at Mr. Fool when he suddenly noticed a figure on the other side.
That spot had been empty before!
A new member? A man?
"Magician" Fors' eyes flickered slightly as he casually glanced around.
Another new member? Do new members appear frequently in the Tarot Club?
"The Hermit" Cattleya frowned. The last time she came in, a man joined her this time, which made her think a lot.
The new member is a man? I wonder where he's from?
Just as "Justice" Audrey was about to get up and greet "Fool," she suddenly saw a strange figure.
The new member is so calm, not flustered at all. I was so nervous the first time I joined, and the other members were about the same... Indeed, our Tarot Club is getting to a higher level; the new members are all very talented... The "Hermit" lady is quite impressive... I wonder what codename this gentleman will choose? That's someone else's business, Audrey, you're overthinking it...
Miss Audrey, the "Justice," stood up and bowed in a light and cheerful tone:
Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.
Amidst Miss Justice's cheerful greeting, the others also paid their respects to Mr. Fool, who was still shrouded in gray mist.
Seeing that the newlyweds didn't move, "Miss Justice" kindly reminded them:
“This gentleman, Mr. Fool, is a great being.”
The implication is that Mr. Fool is a deity, and one cannot be disrespectful to deities.
Cao Ya raised an eyebrow. Didn't he know who "The Fool" was? Klein was his student, and had taught him for a while.
Inside the fog, Mr. Fool was quite embarrassed to have the teacher greet him; frankly, he found it a little hard to accept.
However, if it is stopped, it will leave a trace and easily reveal the identity, exposing the fact that the "Fool" is not a god.
Forget it, just destroy it already, I don't care anymore.
Klein leaned back in his chair in frustration, but the other members misunderstood him, thinking that the newcomer's disrespect had offended Mr. Fool.
They all held their breath immediately.
Divine grace is as vast as the sea, divine power as deep as a prison, then... what about divine wrath?
Cao Ya muttered to himself twice, and in order not to reveal that he knew Klein's identity, he still greeted the Fool.
Klein was incredibly embarrassed and quickly skipped that part, afraid that if he continued, he really wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer.
He was also a little worried that since he hadn't been notified beforehand or informed of the relevant precautions, Teacher Cao Ya might reveal his real name directly...
Before he could finish thinking about it, Cao Ya spoke up and said his name.
Klein's expression froze, and he almost covered his face with his hands.
Oh no, Professor Cao Ya, didn't you tell me that I should conceal my identity and use a code name in an unknown environment? Why did you reveal your real name?
Hmm, could it be that the teacher thinks I, the "fool," am a deity, and under the watchful eye of the true god, I dare not hide it, which is why I revealed my real name?
Oh no, it's still my fault!
Klein is now hesitant to let his teacher know his true identity.
It seems like they're about to clean house.
The other members were also stunned for a moment. This newcomer seemed quite experienced, so why was he so unexpected in handling things?
Cao Ya, however, had his own plans. There weren't any code names he wanted to choose from the tarot cards, and besides, he knew these members, so he wasn't afraid to use their real names.
Moreover, he himself is powerful enough that he is the most powerful in the Tarot Club, even surpassing Klein, the "Fool".
Even the Star Admiral "The Hermit" Cattleya, one of the seven great pirate generals, was far inferior to him.
Even in the later Tarot gatherings, apart from Klein, the "Fool"—well, including Klein's alternate account "The World"—the others were at most no different from him at this moment.
He doesn't need to find a code name to hide his identity.
Cao Ya is someone who is preparing to slay a god; being timid and hesitant is not his style.
Of course, caution is still very necessary.
Going to slay a god now would be suicide.
Furthermore, Cao Ya plans to become the Pirate King and dominate the ocean. If he adopts a code name, the crew won't recognize him, and he won't be able to show off properly.
