As for what his mission would be, "Judge" Xio had always been both excited and nervous.
She was looking forward to it because she had chosen to accept Mr. Fool’s gift and would inevitably pay a corresponding price. Knowing what the mission was earlier would help her avoid guessing about the unknown, which would lead to even stronger fear.
She was nervous because she knew that the reward she had received was too generous, and she believed that the final mission would not be easy and would definitely be full of dangers.
At this moment, after listening to Mr. Fool’s words, she felt her heart finally fall back to where it was, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Investigating the whereabouts of the three Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics and the corresponding uniqueness obtained by the "Red Priest", and even confirming the current status of the "Original Witch", are indeed very dangerous. They are tasks that can easily be contaminated by something and lead to terrible mutations. But at least it is much better than snatching the uniqueness and Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics and facing the "Original Witch" directly.
If it was the latter, even with the support of official forces, Xio didn't think he could accomplish it. He could only write a suicide note and be ready to sacrifice at any time. If it was just the former, some clues could be obtained in a more circuitous and indirect way, without having to encounter powerful beings of higher status. As a Sequence 4 demigod, Xio thought he had some confidence.
She responded without hesitation:
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
Klein the Fool was about to look to the other side, but after thinking for a moment, he added:
"Be careful Bansi."
Without waiting for the Tarot Club members to start their associations, Klein said to Leonard the Star:
"Your mission is similar to that of the Moon. When you are suppressing the Rose School, you need to collect the blessings, auras, and items from the members of the Mother Tree of Desire. This is also very dangerous."
He only gave one word of instruction, not much else like he did when he gave the "Moon" Emlyn the task before.
This is because Leonard is "parasitized" by a senior angel from the "Thief" path. He knows many secrets and how dangerous the Outer Gods are, and will not let Leonard do whatever he wants.
Seeing that Leonard was about to nod, Klein the Fool maintained his previous tone and continued:
“You don’t need to do much, or even nothing, to spread my name.”
As one of the twenty-two most powerful senior members of the Church of Night, and one of the few senior deacons of the Night Watchers, it would be easy for Leonard to run into problems if he spread the faith of The Fool privately, leading to misunderstandings by his colleagues and unnecessary conflicts.
But the amazing thing was that in Klein's eyes, Emlyn the Moon would not be misunderstood for doing this. To the people around him and the vampires, nothing he did seemed too strange.
That’s right… “Star” Leonard has recovered from his previous impatience and realized the cruelty of reality.
However, he still wanted to do something.
At this time, Klein the Fool added:
"You can prefer to spread the deeds of the 'world' in the form of poetry writing."
Poetry creation… Leonard “Star” frowned instinctively and did not respond to Mr. Fool immediately.
Klein then said:
“In addition to these, work hard to improve your own rank and prepare for the end of the world.
"The reward for all missions is a wish."
Although many extraordinary characteristics fell into the real world when the "God of War" fell, bringing with it a group of extraordinary creatures, mutant monsters, and abnormal places, Klein was not sure how many Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics of the "Warrior" path the "Goddess of Night" had obtained in addition to the "Dusk" uniqueness, but at least in this way, some Sequence 2 angels of the Church of Night have the possibility of switching paths to become Sequence 1.
At the same time, if they obtain extra extraordinary characteristics, they can also switch to the corresponding sequence of the "Death" path.
This will open up more than one path for the saints to ascend.
Of course, not every Sequence 3 Saint wants to become an angel, but Leonard is currently only a Sequence 4 Night Watchman. Moreover, if the positions corresponding to Sequence 3 Fear Bishops are limited, he can also consider Silver Knights and Ferrymen. Klein already has a copy of the former's Beyonder characteristic.
"Star" Leonard was silent for two seconds, then he exhaled slowly and said:
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
Klein the Fool then turned his gaze to Miss Justice who had been waiting:
"In addition to spreading my name, you have two tasks. One is to assist the 'Judgment', investigate the whereabouts of the 'Red Priest's' uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, and confirm the current status of the 'Original Witch'. The second is to work hard to improve your own rank."
One of the tasks is to let me improve my sequence... "Justice" Audrey was a little confused about this task.
To her, this seemed to be saying to an ordinary person: Your mission is to make more money.
Moreover, this is of no value to Mr. Fool. Could it be that he wants me to treat Mr. World? As soon as this thought flashed through Audrey's mind, Klein the Fool added:
"The higher your rank, the more chances you have of awakening the 'world'.
“In this regard, you can seek help from external forces. The psychological alchemy re-established by Hermes is one of the options, but you need to be careful and cautious.
“For this, you have to pay a price.
"You can also give up the compensation you received before. It just depends on your will and idea."
Audrey, the Justice, no longer had any doubts. She was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly:
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
Klein, the Fool, looked at Alger, the Hanged Man:
"Wait for a while, and you'll know what your mission is."
Klein had already foreseen the corresponding scene.
Without waiting for Alger to speak, he continued:
"You can take the 'Scepter of Poseidon', but during this period, all the prayers of Poseidon's followers will be transferred to the 'Sun' and pointed directly at me."
Although Alger, the Hanged Man, could not accurately guess what his mission was, he had a vague premonition. He hesitated for a moment and responded in a serious manner:
"Yes, Mr. Fool."
Klein retracted his gaze, looked around again, and said slowly:
“After that, you can still gather here on the first Monday afternoon of every month, but there will no longer be a convener.
"If you need to have a small private, confidential discussion, pray ahead of time and wait for a response."
At this point, Klein the Fool closed his eyes and said:
"This party ends here."
The Tarot Club members could hardly contain their inexplicable sadness, as if a grand dance party had come to an end.
They stood up at the same time and bowed solemnly to the head of the mottled long table:
“Your will is our will.”
Klein waited until they finished talking before lifting the maintenance and watching the deep red starlight disperse and fade away quickly.
After staring at the scene for a few seconds, he materialized a piece of yellowish parchment and a dark red round-bellied fountain pen.
After thinking for a while, Klein simply wrote:
“Dear Mr. Azik:
"Due to some complicated reasons, I may be in deep sleep for a long time. I'm sorry, I may not be able to write to you for a long time..."
After writing just this one sentence, Klein stopped and made the pen disappear.
——Although the piece of paper was materialized by him, with his current status, level and strength, he was able to maintain it for more than a hundred years, even if it was taken to the outside world.
He closed his eyes again, summoned Azik's copper whistle, and blew it.
At the same time, he relaxed some of the restrictions imposed by Sefirah Castle itself.
The skeleton messenger appeared, and every bone from top to bottom was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
If Klein hadn't handed it the letter, it might have just fallen to the ground.
After the skeleton messenger took the letter and hurriedly left Sefirah Castle, Klein raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
This is not because the will of "Tianzun" has escaped from the state of eternal sleep, nor is it that his wakefulness is painful to maintain, but it is a habit.
Slowly leaning back in his chair, Klein sighed softly.
On both sides of the mottled long table, "Justice" Audrey, "Hanged Man" Alger, "Sun" Derrick, "Magician" Fors, "Moon" Emlyn, "Hermit" Cattleya, "Star" Leonard, and "Judgement" Xio reappeared in the order in which they joined the Tarot Club.
But this time, they were not real people, but projections. They no longer appeared blurry and all appeared as Klein remembered.
Soon after, more figures appeared. They were:
A mature man with a receding hairline and deep eyes, a gorgeous witch with blue eyeshadow and blush, a middle-aged man with black hair mixed with silver and an unusually loud voice, a woman in her 50s with short hair, a young man playing with his phone while enjoying food, a very happy little girl, a government employee who looks older than her peers and has a high hairline, a girl in an old-fashioned dress focusing on machinery, a lady with a pale face like a doll, a teacher with soft features and a bronze complexion, a child licking an ice cream, a woman carrying four heads, an old man seriously studying the bill...
They sat or stood, gathered around people they knew, and in the flickering candlelight on the long table, discussed different things or danced to the music.
Klein watched this lively scene quietly, his expression gradually softening.
After an unknown amount of time, he stood up, walked through them, and headed into the depths of the space.
Behind him, those figures, those candlelights, and that music gradually faded away and disappeared.
When the strange light gate above the gray and white clouds came into sight, Klein waved and summoned the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes.
At this time, the light balls formed by the transparent or opaque insects in the middle of the strange light gate have completely connected into one and turned blue-black.
It was like a thick layer of fog, making it impossible to see what was behind the door.
After Klein arrived here, he did not enter immediately. He felt as if there was an extremely terrifying monster hiding behind the door, waiting to devour him.
He raised his head and looked at the transparent "cocoons" hanging on the light gate, and at the equally "modern" humans of different skin colors inside the "cocoons".
After closing his eyes and sensing it, Klein raised his right hand and clasped his five fingers together.
The "cocoons" burst, and the people inside turned into points of light, flew out of the "Source Castle", and fell onto some recently dead people in the real world.
After finishing this task, Klein lowered his head and looked at the "magic mirror" in his hand.
"Are you scared?"
On the surface of the ancient silver mirror, the water light flickered, and the pale words were outlined:
"No."
The next second, Arrodes asked his own question according to the rules:
"Great Master, are you afraid?"
Klein's mouth twitched slightly and said:
"Afraid."
After saying that, he took a step forward, holding the "magic mirror", walked towards the blue-black fog in the middle of the strange light gate, and passed through it.
His figure disappeared behind a door that contained something unknown.
The broken "cocoons" were still shaking gently.
