Chapter 22 "Frankly"



Klein stared at the parchment in front of him for a long time without moving.

After a long while, he tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his palm, causing all the materialized objects to disappear.

He summoned his gold-shell pocket watch, opened it and took a look. Then he "squeezed" a message to the little "Sun", asking him to prepare to attend the Tarot gathering.

About a thousand heartbeats later, crimson rays of light rose from both sides of the long bronze table and condensed into different human figures on different high-backed chairs.

Without any pause, all the Tarot Club members cast their eyes towards the figure sitting at the top, shrouded in gray-white mist.

Seeing that Mr. Fool was not wearing his monocle, Leonard the Star breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned around and looked at the bottom of the mottled long table to check on the situation of Klein Moretti, the World.

Similar to him, after seeing Mr. Fool, Cattleya, Audrey, and Magician Fors instinctively turned their attention to Gehrman Sparrow.

One of them knew that the World was in danger and could only seek the protection of Mr. Fool. Another had not received any feedback for two days and suspected that Gehrman Sparrow was really involved in the matter of George III and that something had gone wrong. Another knew that the matter of George III contained great risks and was a little worried that Mr. World would suffer serious trauma.

Seeing that Gehrman Sparrow was intact and there was nothing wrong with him, Audrey, the Justice, withdrew her gaze, lifted her skirt, and bowed to the head of the bronze table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

As the situation in the world became more chaotic, the Tarot Club was able to maintain its original state, which made her feel somewhat comforted and her mood improved a lot.

After the Tarot Club members followed Miss Justice in paying their respects, Klein the Fool nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Then, he looked around slowly, chuckled and said:

"You are very concerned about whether this Tarot Club can go on as usual."

Upon hearing these words, Alger's heartbeat quickened, and he seemed to hear a thumping sound directly in his ears.

He believed without a doubt that Mr. Fool was referring to himself and was hitting him more gently.

In other words, he was given a chance to repent.

Alger lowered his head and spoke with a slightly trembling voice:

"It's because we are not pious enough and think too much."

Uh… why did Mr. Hanged Man admit his mistake on my behalf… The Magician, Fors, who had instructed Judgment Hugh to ask Mr. Fool whether the Tarot Club would be convened as scheduled, was stunned for a moment, gave up thinking, and then turned to the top of the bronze table, lowered his head, and repeated:

"It's because we are not pious enough and think too much."

It turns out that I'm not the only one who prayed to Mr. Fool these days... Mr. Hanged Man said that he thought too much because the Tarot Club might be cancelled, which made him make some unnecessary guesses? But Fors shouldn't have thought of this... Audrey "Justice" looked across and then looked around, and something suddenly occurred to her.

Klein the Fool nodded, looked around again and said:

“Such concern is quite normal.”

He immediately smiled and sighed:

"I used the body of the World to play a game with Amon in the God-Forsaken Land. Fortunately, I didn't miss this Tarot Meeting."

Every word he said was true, but the information others interpreted from it would definitely be far from the actual situation.

In this case, even if Amon spread the news that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was equal to "The Fool", the members of the Tarot Club would only sneer at Amon in their hearts for trying to commit fraud again. The fact that "The World" was equal to "The Fool" during that period did not mean that "The World" had always been equal to "The Fool". Part of the truth was actually equivalent to a lie.

Played a game with Amon... The old man guessed it right. Mr. Fool deliberately used Klein to lure out Amon the Blasphemer... Judging from the current situation, he got a relatively satisfactory result, and Amon suffered a heavy loss... Leonard, who had guessed it a long time ago, felt that this was completely in line with his expectations and had no doubts about Mr. Fool's words.

Mr. Fool didn't reply for a quarter of an hour. Was it because he was at a critical moment in his fight with Amon? Has he recovered to this extent? Audrey of Justice was surprised and delighted to hear this, and inexplicably developed a strong sense of honor.

The Hanged Man Alger also sensed from Mr. Fool’s words that the other party had further recovered and could actually gain an advantage in a direct confrontation with an Angel King.

This made him even more annoyed as to why he had doubts and wanted to test the waters.

Mr. Fool hinted in advance that the Tarot Club might be cancelled because he had already foreseen the conflict with Amon? Or even, he took the initiative to provoke it and set a trap for Amon? Alger immediately thought of many things and felt that his little thoughts could not be hidden in front of such a high-ranking being.

He warned himself once again: Never do something like this again!

It turns out that Mr. World did not respond because Mr. Fool was using his body to fight against Amon… The Angel King Amon was so powerful that Mr. Fool had to take action himself… Magician Fors and Judgement Xio looked at each other and no longer had any doubts about the previous question.

Cattleya roughly understood the reason why the World Gehrman Sparrow disappeared, and guessed that the messenger with the contract connection might not be able to enter the God-Forsaken Land.

At the same time, she was secretly surprised that a king of angels had ascended the stage of the current era, and felt that this was one of the signs of the end of the world in the prophecy.

Emlyn the Moon had no idea what had happened during this period. He looked at everyone in a daze. He had an inexplicable feeling that he had been locked up behind the Chanis Gate for more than a week or two, perhaps for a month or two, and that he had become disconnected from the current situation.

Mr. World came to the God-Forsaken Land...Mr. Fool used his body to fight the terrible Amon? Derrick was startled at first, but then he felt a strong joy.

This means that Silver City’s next exploration will receive strong support!

He immediately looked at the top of the bronze table and blurted out:

"Dear Mr. Fool, the Chief would like to obtain your blessing during the ceremony. Do you agree?"

Klein had already known about this from his prayers. He nodded slightly and said:

"Can."

Having received the promise, Derrick, the "Sun", couldn't help but smile, and for a moment he didn't know how to express his gratitude.

After two seconds, he lowered his head and said loudly:

"I only believe in Mr. Fool!"

Klein the Fool nodded, turned to look at Ms. Hermit, and spoke warmly:

"What's the problem this time?"

Uh, the Queen’s letter didn’t say… “Hermit” Cattleya was stunned for a moment, and decided to ask something she wanted to know first, since there were still many remaining questions.

She thought for two seconds and said:

"Great Mr. Fool, what is the truth behind the death of George III?"

As soon as the Hermit finished speaking, Justice Audrey and the others perked up and focused their attention.

This is exactly what they want to know.

Among these, "Star" Leonard has a certain understanding and is more concerned about the deeper reasons for this incident.

Among the members of the Tarot Club, the only one who was relatively confused was "Moon" Emlyn, his mind was full of thoughts such as "what" and "what happened".

He hadn't even had time to read a newspaper recently, and didn't know that King George III had been assassinated.

As for "The Sun" Derrick, although he also didn't know why George III died, he didn't care at all.

Klein the Fool smiled and said calmly:

"George III wanted to become the 'Black Emperor'. To do this, he excavated the Tudor ruins, trafficked in human beings, created the Backlund Great Smog Incident, and took the initiative to start a war so that the Feysac airship could bomb Backlund. Unfortunately, he failed in the final ritual, and the secret mausoleum he needed was destroyed."

He simply described the whole story in the most plain tone, without mentioning what he had done.

It would be cheap for Mr. Fool to take the initiative to explain the situation.

The Backlund smog incident... the airship attack... all of this was done by George III to become a god? "Justice" Audrey's eyes widened slightly, and she instantly recalled the two things she had personally experienced.

Suddenly, she began to understand why the "world" Gehrman Sparrow wanted to stop George III from becoming a god.

She knew that he was a gentle and loving gentleman, and he would definitely not let the real culprit behind the two tragedies go.

If it were me, I would also want to do this, but I would hesitate and be stopped by possible bad developments... But Mr. World is firm and resolute... This is a matter involving the gods. Well, Mr. Fool’s will should also be involved... Audrey glanced at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, who was sitting silently at the bottom of the mottled long table, and nodded slightly to show her agreement.

The Black Emperor... George III wants to become a god? This... well, Mr. Fool has a blasphemous card called the Black Emperor. Gehrman Sparrow was also investigating the smog and human trafficking... Sure enough, these can be linked together, and there is such a secret hidden behind them... Now it seems that Mr. Fool has achieved his goal and his plan has succeeded... Therefore, if he is further revived, he can confront the Angel King head-on... The more Alger the Hanged Man thought about it, the more afraid he became. He felt that even if he knew some clues in advance, he could not see through Mr. Fool's layout at all.

Leonard the Star, Fors the Magician and other members of the Tarot Club were shocked. Cattleya, who had a premonition of this, suppressed her inner excitement and decided to ask another question:

"Dear Mr. Fool, what is the attitude of the Seven Gods towards this?"
