Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein's figure emerged.

At this moment, on the high-backed chair belonging to The Fool, sat a “person” shrouded in grayish-white mist.

As Klein returned to Sefirah Castle, this "person" instantly disintegrated and turned into transparent, twisted "spiritual insects" that flew to Klein and drilled into him.

Fortunately, the restrictions of "0-02" are only that they cannot leak secrets and cannot return. I have not lost contact with the "Spirit Bugs" guarding the "Source Castle", otherwise they would have gone out of control and turned into monsters... Klein sighed secretly, sat in the position belonging to the "Fool", and picked up the "Fool" card that he had sacrificed before.

Because the "Card of Blasphemy" has been opened, he does not need to look for additional spells. He only needs to infuse spirituality to see corresponding changes occur.

The "Fool" card quickly turned into a miniature, illusory book. Following Klein's guidance, it kept flipping through the pages until the last two pages:

"Sequence 1: Mysterious Waiter.

"This is an angel who serves the mysteries. He has initially mastered the authority of the corresponding field. He can evoke the 'spiritual thread' that originally existed in objects and can combine many physical objects or abstract concepts together...

"The potion formula is as follows:

“Main material: one copy of the extraordinary characteristic of ‘Secret Servant’;

“Supplementary materials: nine specialties from the spiritual world;

“Promotion Ceremony: Build a town made up purely of puppets, and design the destiny of each puppet. Let them interact with each other to create a realistic picture of life, and give birth to the corresponding area in the spirit world.

The larger the town, the more dolls there are, the more detailed the daily life is, the more vivid and real the different destinies are, and the longer they last, the better the effect of the ritual will be.

"Sequence 0: The Fool.

“This is a true god. In a sense, He is the embodiment of the corresponding authority… He is good at fooling everything in various ways and performing all kinds of incredible miracles…

"The potion formula is as follows:

"Main material: The 'uniqueness' of the 'Fool', and the remaining two copies of the 'Secret Servant' extraordinary characteristics;

“Supplementary materials: Master at least a quarter of the historical mist;

"Ceremony of Ascension: Fooling Time, History, or Fate."

As he watched, Klein's brows gradually furrowed, and he muttered silently in his heart:

"Compared to the Ascension Ceremony of the Servant of Mysteries, the Ascension Ceremony of the Fool is too abstract... How can one be considered to have fooled time, history, or fate? And how can one determine whether or not one has succeeded?

"It's relatively easy for me to master at least a quarter of the historical fog. On the one hand, I know enough ancient secrets and have illuminated many historical fragments. On the other hand, I can directly influence the historical fog through the 'Source Castle'...

"Let's not consider the issue of becoming the Fool for now. The current focus is on the Mysterious Attendant. I have to take one step at a time. Of course, some lucky ones can fly directly...

"The nine specialties of the spirit world are easy to find. Whether I ask the messenger lady for help or ask Qi Guang for advice, it won't be a problem... The promotion ceremony is close to the situation around the ancestors of the Zaratul and Antigonus families, and it matches what Qi Guang said about 'closely connected to the spirit world'. It can be preliminarily judged that it is indeed true."

Thinking of this, Klein took off the citrine pendant wrapped around his left wrist and used divination to confirm the authenticity of the recipe for the "Mysterious Servant" potion.

It was not that he did not believe in Emperor Roselle, but that before the fellow villager made the "Blasphemy Card", he should have been influenced by Mr. "Gate" and went to the moon, where he was polluted and eroded by the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and his corresponding memories were distorted.

Because of this, it is entirely possible that Roselle would plant some traps at key locations in the "Card of Blasphemy" in the final stage.

In this regard, Klein has always been cautious and careful.

"Speaking of the original moon, the most powerful old fallen mother goddess, judging from her title, the emperor may have been tainted without realizing it... On the moon, there may be many brothers and sisters that Bernadette has never seen. Of course, there may not be gender distinctions...

"The secret dolls needed for the 'Servant of Mysteries' ritual can be obtained from the God-Forsaken Land. The fact that there are many monsters there is also an advantage. I have also accumulated quite a few before." As Klein's thoughts wandered, he turned his head to look at the other side of the ancient palace, causing the gray-white mist in the area next to the pile of debris to dissipate.

As the fog receded, rows of brown seats were revealed, and on each seat there was a figure sitting.

Among those figures were giants covered in silver full body armor, humans wearing linen clothes with deformed facial features, and large pieces of flesh with eyes... They sat quietly in their seats, staring dull and indifferently in the direction of the mottled long table, row after row.

These were all the secret dolls that Klein had collected in the God-Forsaken Land. Whenever he needed to move and it was inconvenient to carry too many with him, he would sacrifice a batch of them above the gray fog.

Of course, this had nothing to do with environmental awareness. Rather, the experience in the foggy town and the scene presented by Zaratul made Klein intuitively believe that a certain ritual in the future would most likely require the use of many puppets, so he had always been very frugal in this regard.

As for why he didn't hang all these puppets up, but instead let them sit in the materialized theater and act as the audience, it was because Klein felt that the behavior of the ancestors of the Antigonus family and Zaratul was a bit abnormal.

He had tried imitation before, but for the purpose of acting, and now there was no need for that.

"But how can such a secret puppet city generate corresponding spiritual information? The spiritual world is a collection of a lot of information from the past, present and future, but it does not directly contain such false things...

"Produced through other people's cognition? Every living being's behavior and words will be reflected in the spirit world in an abstract form and become the source of divination. When their certain behaviors, certain words, and certain strong thoughts clearly construct a secret puppet city, the spirit world projection of this city will appear and 'really exist'...

"The 'interaction' contained in this involves the deep mysteries of the spiritual world..." Klein closed the "Fool" card thoughtfully and played with it in his hand.

Because he has reached the level of an angel, he has a certain understanding of the production of the "blasphemous card":

At that time, Russell could not only draw power from knowledge, but also give power in a substantial sense to abstract knowledge!

As for what material this emperor was made of, and how he achieved anti-divination and anti-prophecy at the divine level, Klein currently had no way of figuring it out.

After thinking for a while, Klein tentatively took the "Fool" card into his body.

His state changed immediately. A layer of colorful clothes appeared on his body and an extremely gorgeous headdress appeared on his head. His temperament was obviously extremely deep and terrifying, but it also had a sense of funny, playful, and absurdity, presenting a weird and contradictory state.

The entire space attached to the "Source Castle" began to shake slightly, as if it was about to surrender to the feet of this god who was difficult to describe in detail.

“My status has been slightly improved, but there are no other substantial changes. After all, I am already the master of Sefirah Castle. Haha, it’s like having an extra piece of fashion that can show off my temperament…” Klein shook his head and laughed at himself.

At the same time, one transparent and twisted "spirit worm" after another crawled out of his body and reorganized into a figure exactly the same as him next to him.

After differentiating into a "self" that could respond to prayers at any time, Klein returned to the real world and wandered around Beldan City, healing people's trauma with wishes and learning one side of the war from them.

…………

“Shit!” Danitz couldn’t help but curse after hearing the crew’s report. “They actually ate the whale oil? Why didn’t you stop them?”

When passing by the Gargas Islands, Danitz and his crew bought a batch of unrefined whale oil, intending to take it back to Bayam and sell it at a high price. Who knew that part of it was "stolen" by the "half-giants" of the City of Silver.

The crew member glanced at the envoy and whispered:

"They couldn't understand what we were saying, and we couldn't understand what they were saying either. Only the shortest one could communicate, but we couldn't always find him. He would always meditate in a place where the sun could shine, and he would change his position every time."

Danitz sneered subconsciously:

“This is what happens to illiterate people.

"If you could master multiple languages ​​like me, such as Ancient Feysac, Giant, Elven, etc., then things like this wouldn't have happened.

"Of course, language talent is related to IQ, so you don't have to force it."

The crew member looked at Danitz carefully again:

"My Lord, they ate the whale oil you bought."

“…Shit!” Danitz rushed to the cabin faster than he could think.

After a period of confusion, Danitz received a Sequence 8 Beyonder characteristic as compensation. He didn’t know whether he had gained or lost. Anyway, the dirty monster fluids remaining on the characteristic made him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

By the time the ship had returned to normal, the City of Generosity, Bayam, was already in sight of the Silver City Pathfinder Squad.

Derrick led Liaval, Candice and others to the deck and looked towards the destination of this "trip".

Although they had passed through many ports, they had never been allowed to disembark and could only watch from afar. Now they were finally going to set foot on the land outside for the first time.

——Even so, the large crowds, numerous houses and the vibrant energy that could not be concealed by the hardship and suffering that they had seen from afar several times before still made them yearn for life in the bright world more and more.

Of course, it took them a long time to adapt to the sun outside as they were used to darkness and lightning. If they were not all extraordinary people, they might even have suffered permanent damage to their eyes.

Watching the large number of people coming and going at the dock, watching the airships flying high in the sky and the ships around, listening to the noisy sounds that he could barely understand but was still not familiar with, and thinking that this would be the settlement after Silver City, Derrick suddenly felt a little nervous.

As he glanced around, he suddenly saw a man standing on the lighthouse by the sea. He was wearing a robe embroidered with a storm symbol, his hair was dark blue and almost black, like a ball of seaweed, and his facial features were rough and deep.

As their eyes met, Derrick suddenly became calm and no longer nervous.
