Chapter 13 Approaching



Above the gray fog, the deep red star representing the "star" also began to expand and contract. Its open aperture gradually overlapped with the ripples created by the other three stars, turning into a tide that rushed back into the entire mysterious space, causing a slight vibration here.

After telling the story about Klein, Leonard ended his prayer and waited for Mr. Fool to respond.

However, nearly a quarter of an hour passed and he still didn't get any feedback.

"Mr. Fool's responses are always timely..." Leonard couldn't help but whisper.

The Pales Zoroast in his mind was silent for a few seconds, and reminded him in a slightly old voice:

"Recall what The Fool has said during this period."

Leonard thought carefully and said slowly:

"In the middle of the week, He reminded us not to go to the forest in the northwest suburbs of Backlund recently... Well, He seemed to hint that next week's party might not be held as scheduled..."

"As expected." Pales Zoroast sighed and said, "The Fool had anticipated Amon's appearance. They may be fighting secretly in different fields. One wants to keep Sefirah Castle, and the other wants to become its new owner. Your former colleague was unfortunately involved in this matter."

“Did Mr. Fool anticipate this? Was this a trap He set for Amon?” Leonard’s eyes lit up as he asked.

Pales seemed to have spent some time thinking, and his speech speed slowed down a lot:

"It could be that, or it could be that Amon took advantage of the trap and took the initiative. Don't underestimate a 'blasphemer', a powerful angel king."

In Leonard's current understanding, Mr. Fool is either the slowly recovering master of Sefirah Castle, whose corresponding deity in history is unknown, or he is the incarnation of Sefirah, who is currently unable to control his own authority and power well and needs further geological changes.

Regardless of the possibility, Mr. Fool has not yet reached the level of a true god, and is most likely at the same level as the Angel Kings.

In this situation, it is quite normal that Mr. Fool and the terrible Blasphemer are fighting fiercely and neither can defeat the other for a long time. After all, that person is one of the strongest hidden beings under the gods, more powerful than the "Hidden Sage" who is often classified as an evil god. Even the gods would be wary of him.

"..." Leonard's spirit tensed up uncontrollably, and he asked in a low voice with concern, "Old man, is there any way you can provide a little help? Isn't Amon your biggest enemy?"

Such help might be limited, but it should be able to pull Klein out of this vortex.

Upon hearing this, Pales Zoroast laughed and said with obvious self-mockery:

"Are you expecting too much from me?

"Indeed, if Amon gets Sefirah Castle, I will surely die at His hands, and I may not even survive this winter. If Sefirah Castle remains with The Fool, I may still have a chance to survive in the future.

"But do I, an old fellow who has just recovered my Sequence 2 strength, have the ability to interfere in a fight of this level?

“Even if we use the ‘Yesterday Reappearance’ spell, what can we do in just two or three seconds? Yes, yes, at the critical moment this may help the ‘Fool’ to distort the situation, but now I don’t even know where they are fighting, how can I seize the opportunity?”

Leonard was silenced by the old man's series of words. He immediately lowered his head, raised his hands, pressed both sides of his head, and whispered to himself:

"Could it be that I can only watch helplessly like this..."

Pales sighed and said:

“Patience, all we can do right now is patience.

“That Fool, Dark Night, and some gods and angel kings should have a certain understanding or even a cooperative relationship. They will not let Amon take away Sefirah Castle.

"Just wait patiently, maybe you will see an opportunity soon."

Leonard half-straightened up, tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and exhaled:

"I see."

…………

In the waters near Sonia Island, the "Blue Avenger", which had been ordered by the Church of Storms to attack the port and Feysac merchant ships, was hiding a little outside the safe channel.

Alger Wilson stood behind the window of the captain's cabin, using his super long-sightedness to gaze at the coastline that was still a long way off.

In the eyes of this "new" "Ocean Singer", there are many "captains" who have accepted similar missions, all of whom are outstanding in the middle sequence. The action they jointly carry out will definitely effectively endanger Feysac's sea transportation lines.

This also means that the attack from Feysac will be fierce enough, and it is likely to be led by a Sequence 4 demigod, and the possibility of the appearance of a Sequence 3 "War Bishop" or "Silver Knight" cannot be ruled out.

This was a dangerous enough development for Alger, and he did not want to get himself into similar trouble.

At the same time, the crew members, colleagues, and collaborators would monitor each other and not let anyone escape from the action. If Alger was passive and slack and walked on the edge of danger, it would not take long for him to consider whether to kill most of the crew members and become a real pirate on the spot, or lose the "Blue Avenger" and return to Pasu Island for internal trial.

"By the time this operation is over, the number of 'Captains' who will still be alive will be no more than one-third of the original number..." Alger made a calm analysis and quickly came up with an idea to avoid danger.

That is to be part of the action but not at the heart of it.

When the rest of his colleagues were frantically attacking Feysac merchant ships and supply ships, Alger planned to take the people on the ship to Sonia Island in the name of a "surprise attack" on the port, and lurk in the primeval forest, occasionally making some controllable and ineffective disturbances to the port. In this way, the eyes of the Feysac demigods would definitely be on the sea, not on him.

At the same time, in the eyes of the crew, he would be a role model and example of someone who was willing to take great risks and go deep into enemy territory.

After thinking through all the details, Alger immediately called the crew together and explained his plan. At the end, he emphasized:

“This will be very dangerous, believe me, very dangerous. We can’t move freely like we can on the sea, and we may be surrounded by the enemy at any time. However, such an attack will definitely catch the Feysac people by surprise and bring about the result we want.

"Will you stay on the boat and be cowards, or will you follow me and be heroes and show your devotion to the Lord?"

The crew members were so excited that they spoke impulsively one after another:

"Kill the Feysac people!"

"Very good." Alger clenched his right fist into his left chest and said with a look of relief, "The storm is with us!"

"The storm is with us!" the sailors followed suit and shouted loudly.

After arranging this matter, Alger felt that he needed to borrow the "No Dark Cross" as soon as possible to eliminate the redundant "Ocean Singer" extraordinary characteristics. Although he exaggerated the danger of landing on Sonia Island, there was indeed a certain risk, so he wanted to recover to the best condition as soon as possible.

He had already understood the hints that Mr. Fool had given him, and felt that tonight or tomorrow morning, Mr. Fool would officially notify him that the Tarot gathering was cancelled.

Of course, Alger also had some guesses in his heart. He suspected that every time Mr. Fool canceled the Tarot Club, it was because something had gone wrong with his own condition. He wanted to use this nominal prayer to test whether this great being was still normal.

No, no, I can't test God... This is not a test. Mr. Fool didn't imply that I couldn't pray to Him recently. Besides, borrowing the Darkless Cross is something I really need to do in the next few days... Alger paced back and forth, unable to make a decision.

At this moment, he heard the sound of waves, and through the extra perspective provided by the ghost ship, he saw the sea water on the side parted and a huge fish creature appeared.

The giant, strange-looking fish opened its mouth and spat out a small metal ball, which fell to the deck.

Alger nodded and expressed his gratitude through singing.

This is a marine creature domesticated by the Church of the Storm. In this operation, it and its companions acted as messengers between various ships and the islands under actual control.

Receiving the thanks, the giant fish trembled, flicked its tail, dived deep into the sea, and swam away.

Alger watched silently for two seconds, then summoned a gust of wind to carry the small metal ball into the captain's cabin.

He unscrewed the metal ball and took out the paper inside. Alger only took a glance at it and his eyes froze.

"King George III was assassinated..." Alger repeated the above content with a slightly solemn expression, and then he remembered the reminder from Gehrman Sparrow of The World and the hint from Mr. Fool.

This time, he did not hesitate, sealed the room, and whispered the honorific name:

"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

…………

The prayers were almost turning into a chorus... Did Mr. Hanged Man want to borrow the Darkless Cross from Little Sun? Leonard, uh... These voices overlapped and fluctuated, causing the surroundings to seem to tremble... Klein raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He felt as if there were electric drills everywhere.

At this time, he followed Amon deep into the desolate wilderness and saw that it was filled with gray-yellow fog, there were several gullies, and in the depths of the darkness, there were vaguely many things wandering around.

Compared to the monsters that had been lurking quietly before, the ones here seemed quite special.

Amon, who was wearing a pointed hat, raised his hand to stroke his crystal monocle, pointed forward and said with a smile:

"In another half a day, we should be able to reach our final destination."

“Half a day…it’s only been less than a day…didn’t you say it would be three days?” Klein’s pupils seemed to have dilated.

Amon smiled and said:

“I’m talking about no more than three days.

"One day is no more than three days."

At this point, the Angel King paused and asked with interest:

"Did it disrupt your schedule?

"Does it make you more desperate?"

Klein did not respond. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the void next to him.
