Chapter 286 The Ghost Story of "The Sun"
Alger, the Hanged Man, whose sight and hearing were blocked, tapped his knees under the table with his fingers in annoyance, but his expression remained calm. He knew that although he couldn't see others, Mr. Fool could easily see his expression, so he couldn't make any strange moves at this moment.
After learning about the "blasphemous cards" and Mr. Fool's purpose in collecting them, Alger's outlook on the future status of the Tarot Club has reached a new height. No matter what, he has to continue participating in the Tarot Club!
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that the Queen's private conversation with Justice had ended.
"You can communicate freely now."
The Fool said.
"Mr. Sun, is there any new information about the 'expedition leader' imprisoned next to you that you mentioned last week?"
He quickly asked the sun beside him, fearing that he would be locked in a small dark room where he could not hear or see anything for "private communication" with someone.
I hate communicating alone!
He complained in his heart.
"I was just about to discuss this with you," said the tall Taiyang, whose tone contradicted his size. "After the last Tarot meeting, I had just returned to the 'Silver City' when he appeared behind me in my solitary confinement cell and asked if I was looking for him!"
Mr. Sun's tone was as if he were telling a horror story, causing everyone to frown. They even felt that the temperature in the palace shrouded in gray fog had dropped by several degrees. However, they also felt a sense of anticipation in their hearts, just like readers waiting for the next chapter of a serialized story.
"He was already out of control, his head split open, and mouths sprouting all over his body. I was terrified and tried to use my Beyonder ability to attack the monster, but it wasn't very effective. Then the Chief of Silver City, the highest-ranking elder, arrived and killed him and his Amon clone. He then released me from prison and allowed me to return home on my own."
"Amon?"
Alger frowned and asked subconsciously, but he wasn't too surprised. At last week's Tarot meeting, they had already analyzed that there was probably something wrong with the former expedition leader who had come into contact with Amon. Mr. Sun was imprisoned next to him because the elders of Silver City wanted to test him.
As it turned out, this temptation was very "successful".
"Yes, the Chief said that was just his clone. He looks like this..."
With the help of Mr. Fool, the sun materialized a curtain of light. A male figure appeared on it. He wore a black pointed hat and a robe of the same color. He had black hair and black eyes. He wore a monocle in his right eye, like a young scholar.
As everyone looked at the image of "Amon" and searched for this face in their memories, Mr. Sun continued to tell about his terrifying experience.
"After returning home, I prayed to Mr. Fool and told him about these experiences. However, while I was praying, he discovered that 'Amon' was not dead, but possessed my body..."
Wait, the blasphemer Amon, possessed by the "sun", came here?
It took the Hanged Man Alger only a second to understand the meaning of this sentence. He subconsciously stood up and dodged to the side, but then realized: Since Mr. Fool held the Tarot Club normally, he must have already resolved this matter.
Reacting too quickly might be my weakness...
Looking at the other members who were still confused and motionless, Alger sighed, sat back in his high-backed chair, and asked:
"Then what?"
"Mr. Fool taught me a ritual through which he sent his angels to purify Amon's clone."
Sun answered honestly, displaying on the screen his image as seen by Mr. Fool that day: the young "Amon" wearing a soft hat and a monocle in his eye sockets, wrapped around Sun's spirit like a venomous snake. Then the phantom was cleared, and Mr. Sun returned to normal.
"Angel...angel?"
Alger was a little stunned and couldn't help but look at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long table.
In mysticism, this word represents Sequence 2, which represents absolute strength, and the angels are most likely serving a true god!
Although Alger had long viewed Mr. Fool in this way, having an "angel" as his subordinate undoubtedly further illuminated his identity.
Do not look directly at God!
He immediately looked away, feeling a burning sensation in his chest.
A gathering organized by a spirit, of which I am a member, one of the original founding members...
With this excitement, Alger listened carefully to Mr. Sun's subsequent narration. He knew that he suspected something was wrong with the expedition team that had returned to Silver City from the Temple of the True Creator, especially with their elder, "Shepherd" Lovia. However, he didn't know how to report this to the other elders or the Chief.
Drawing on his own experience in reporting colleagues in the Church of Storms and using that experience to rise to power, Alger quickly helped Sun formulate a plan. Without exposing himself, the Tarot Club, or Mr. Fool, he could lure these expedition members contaminated by the "True Creator" out of control and expose themselves, thereby legitimately reporting on them.
Even in the process, it can clear the suspicion on Mr. Sun and allow him to escape safely, even though he may have been suspected by other elders, killing two birds with one stone.
Several people brainstormed and spoke up to help Mr. Sun, who lacked experience in combat, to perfect his plan, but they were troubled by the last step, which was how to lure the expedition members out of control.
Fortunately, Mr. World provided a "Pure Black Eye" for a fee. It was said that the characteristics of this Sequence 5 Beyonder were contaminated by the True Creator. Once the True Creator's believers sensed this contamination, they would likely lose control of themselves and lose control on the spot.
"Just like when I stuffed Ms. D into the 'Scarlet Eye'..."
Angel thought secretly as he listened to the Hanged Man's idea.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Eye that could detect surrounding creatures has been lost. It may have fallen into the hands of the Night Watcher and become a numbered sealed artifact...
However, this Sequence 6 Beyonder's characteristic, a contaminated one at that, in exchange for two Sequence 6 and one Sequence 5 characteristic, was actually a huge profit. This slightly soothed Angel's fragile heart. Not one to be ungrateful, she quickly adjusted her mindset. Looking at the audience, which had fallen silent after Mr. Sun thanked everyone, she asked:
"Mr. Hanged Man, and everyone else, can anyone contact a craftsman who can make magical items? I have some Beyonder traits that I'd like to create corresponding magical items."
Although she brought other people along, she mainly asked about the Hanged Man. The other party had provided information about the craftsman Kavi, so there might be other people to choose from now.
"some?"
The Hanged Man repeated it first, then looked around and found no one responded, then he slowly said:
"I was able to contact someone who I have worked with for many years. Although his fees are relatively high, the finished product is very good."
"I'll pay the referral fee."
Seeing someone respond, Angel quickly added that after receiving Miss Justice's promise of 5,000 pounds, she felt rich again.
"Very good, I will contact him and should be able to give you an answer next week."
The Hanged Man nodded with satisfaction.
Angel thus guessed that the craftsman was most likely outside the Northern Continent, such as the Rorsted Islands. Since the Hanged Man was currently at sea, the craftsman he could contact as soon as possible should also be there.
This also met her requirements. In order to avoid being traced to the source of the extraordinary characteristics, she deliberately did not choose the craftsman Kavi she knew. It would be perfect if the new craftsman was not even in the Kingdom of Loen.
After reaching a deal, Angel felt it was time to "share" yesterday's battle. She first glanced at Miss Justice beside her, then smiled and said:
"Last night, a divine messenger from the Aurora Society appeared in the Hillston district in Backlund."
The "Aurora Society" and the true creator they believe in have become one of the hot topics in the Tarot Club. Just now, they were discussing how to use the extraordinary characteristics contaminated by the true creator to lure out the evil god believers beside Mr. Sun. At this time, everyone heard Angel bring up the topic again and pricked up their ears.
Even the "Sun," who came from the mysterious "City of Silver" and had no idea where Backlund was or what the Hillston District was, stopped thinking about the next steps and listened carefully.
