Chapter 35: Temporary Gathering



The "Goddess of Night" nodded, said nothing more, stretched out her hand forward, pinched a corner of the void and pulled it lightly.

A thin layer of "night" gently fell, covering Klein's body and penetrating into him silently.

Klein quietly felt this blessing from his dream for two seconds, then he placed his hand on his chest and bowed.

He immediately took two steps back and left the star realm.

The "Goddess of Night" stood at the edge of the kingdom of God and watched him go away.

The next second, Klein landed in the projection of the "Giant King's Court" in the God War Ruins.

Then, just like Amon did before, he walked to the edge of the gray-blue gate and raised his hand to create a dark blue illusory door.

Through this door, Klein entered the "God-Forsaken Land" and, following the guidance of fate, "wandered" directly to the top of a mountain.

There stood a huge cross, shrouded in a vague shadow.

Klein stared at the shadow for a few seconds, sighed slightly, and bent down to pick up an ancient silver mirror placed near the huge cross.

Then he turned around and disappeared into the God-forsaken Land.

At the same time, the "Spirit Bugs" who did not need to guard the "Source Castle" told him the current location of the "Mysterious Queen". Klein raised his hand and took out the "Wishing Magic Lamp" from the pile of debris. Relying on the ownership relationship between it and Bernadette, he "wandered" again and appeared on a very hidden island, in the Emerald City.

Bernadette was flipping through a book of paintings recently published by Intis. Just as she noticed something, she saw Gehrman Sparrow handing her the "Wishing Magic Lamp".

“Thank you.” Klein said in a normal voice, neither too high nor too low.

Bernadette opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but at this moment, her eyes flashed, as if she saw something again, predicted something, and then she silently reached out and caught the "Wishing Magic Lamp".

Klein immediately took out an iron cigarette box with corrosion marks on the surface:

“This is the reward.”

Even without the "Eye of Prying Eyes", Bernadette could still feel the "extraordinariness" of this iron cigarette box, and could probably guess what kind of corrosion it had suffered.

But she didn't choose to accept it for this reason, but because she suddenly felt there was no reason to refuse.

She hesitated for just a moment before calmly taking the iron cigarette box.

If he was still in his previous crazy state, Klein would definitely say with a exaggerated smile the moment Bernadette hesitated: "Uncle will give it to you, just take it!"

But now, he only had that last bit of clarity left, and he was trying very hard not to fall asleep. He had no urge to play the clown at all.

After leaving Bernadette's Emerald City, Klein seized the opportunity and "wandered" to Backlund and "wandered" to the home of Dr. Allen Kress.

Will Auceptin, who was sitting among the toys, raised his head and looked at Dwayne Dantès in front of him. He suddenly burst into tears and sobbed violently:

"I finally felt the opportunity."

An opportunity to accommodate the uniqueness of the path of "destiny".

Klein squatted down and said expressionlessly:

“I’m here to help you accommodate.

"I will steal your childhood and youth, make you grow up in an instant, and then rely on my status that has surpassed the sequence but not reached the old days to help you forcibly accommodate the 'Dice of Probability'.

"Of course, this alone won't work. It also requires a 'trick' and an exploit of a 'bug'."

Will Auceptin's tears suddenly stopped falling, and he whispered in astonishment:

"It turns out those two choices are the same."

Normally, the uniqueness of this path is either innate, or achieved with the help of an old being, or through a simplified ascension ceremony. There is no other possibility.

Will Auceptin, the "Snake of Fate", obviously does not have its own uniqueness, so he can only be considered in the latter two options.

His previous focus had been on holding simplified ceremonies, which was to wait for an opportunity of destiny. Who would have known that this opportunity would be for Klein to have a status close to that of the old days, which was essentially the second way.

Thinking of this, the chubby child Will Auceptin cried even harder, feeling as if he had been deceived by fate.

"You can ask the demigod of the School of Life to deliver the 'Dice of Probability' to you now. Normally, with your luck, the 'Dice of Probability' should be right next to you at this time." Klein ignored Will's crying and said, "Let's get started as soon as possible. I don't have much time."

Will stopped and looked at Klein for a while, then said with a slight sob:

"Forget it, let's wait for the next opportunity.

"In your current state, forcing me to contain you is a huge burden. You might lose control right away. I don't want to face the 'Lord of Mysteries'.

"Well, maybe next time. I have a feeling..."

Having said this, Will looked into Klein's eyes and said:

"I have a feeling the next opportunity will be better."

Klein still maintained that sleepwalking look, and his voice became slightly deeper:

"Is this a prophecy?"

Will Auceptin's tears flowed again:

“No, it’s a blessing.”

Klein nodded slightly, stood up, and stepped back step by step.

During this process, his figure became fainter and fainter, and soon disappeared.

He returned to Sefirah Castle and sat on the high-backed chair, allowing the gray-white mist to cover his body.

After looking around and confirming the status of the crimson stars, Klein leaned back in his chair tiredly and slightly raised his right hand.

This time, he did not create the dummy "World".

On both sides of the mottled long table, deep red rays of light rose up at the same time, freezing into Tarot Club members such as "The Hanged Man", "The Sun", "The Hermit", and "The Magician".

This sudden call was obviously beyond the expectations of "Justice" Audrey and others, leaving them stunned and surprised for a moment.

Before this, although they had come to Mr. Fool’s kingdom of God on days other than Monday afternoons, they all had their reasons, and they knew they would be pulled in in advance—either because they had applied for a small gathering in advance, or to avoid the “Full Moon Whispering”, or to treat Mr. World’s psychological problems.

It can be said that, apart from the first time, this was the second time they were summoned by Mr. Fool without any warning.

This made even the most insensitive members among them smell the uneasy atmosphere and feel the air become stagnant.

Thinking back to the visit of Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and the words said by Mr. Fool's followers, Audrey, the Hanged Man, Alger, and Hugh, Judgment, all had similar thoughts at the same time:

“Is it finally here?”

Audrey subconsciously turned her head and looked at the bottom of the mottled long table, only to see that it was empty and no one was there.

Although she was mentally prepared, Audrey couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and she felt an uncontrollable sadness.

In her heart, the image of the "world" Gehrman Sparrow had long since changed from a crazy adventurer and an extremely dangerous Beyonder to a friend who looked cold and tough on the outside but was gentle on the inside, powerful, loving, mysterious, quite lonely, and burdened with many things.

She thought that in the Tarot Club, apart from Mr. "Star", she was the one who knew the "world" best.

And now, this friend seems to have met with misfortune, leaving only an empty seat.

The Tarot Club has lost its first official member.

Where did Klein go... "Star" Leonard suddenly became a little flustered.

In this world, this is the only friend he can confide in.

When Klein suddenly appeared in the southern continent and dropped the gold coin into the church's donation box, Leonard actually had some subtle premonitions. He felt that the other party was preparing to face the judgment of fate and saying goodbye to the past one by one.

It was just like when they decided to stand up and face Megose in Tingen.

The old man has been strangely silent lately... Could something have really happened to Klein? With Mr. Fool's level and status, he should be able to be saved as long as there is a chance... Leonard's heart tightened, and he suddenly turned sideways, casting his gaze towards Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top of the mottled long table.

This great being is still shrouded in gray mist, making it impossible to see His current condition.

At this time, Emlyn the Moon, Cattleya the Hermit, and Derrick the Sun also noticed the absence of Mr. World.

Coupled with the suddenness of the gathering, they were surprised and confused. They didn't know what was going on, but they intuitively felt that it couldn't be a good thing.

As a “Master of Prophecy” who had just been promoted not long ago, Cattleya even felt that Mr. Fool also had certain problems.

Mr. World didn’t come… As I mentioned before, Mr. Fool and his followers seemed to be facing major challenges and might suffer bad things… Magician Fors was also a little panicked, and inevitably developed a strong fear due to the unknown changes.

She once thought that she would be relieved because Mr. "World" disappeared, but now it seems that this is not the case. Instead, she feels heavy in her heart and a little panic.

Only then did she realize that, without knowing when, The World had become a major pillar of the Tarot Club besides Mr. Fool, making everyone feel at ease when they saw him.

Of course, fear is also inevitable.

As Justice Audrey and the others turned around and looked at the top of the mottled long table, Klein, who was already a true Fool, said in a low voice:

"This is an impromptu gathering."

Mr. Fool is very tired... Noticing this, Audrey of Justice becomes increasingly nervous.

She looked around and stood up, as she always did.

When the Tarot Club members stood up one after another, Audrey lifted her skirt with some heaviness and bowed to the head of the mottled long table:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
