Almost instinctively, Leonard looked around and found that none of the other members of the Tarot Club were surprised or stunned. They were all listening carefully.
They already knew about this? That's right, this is only my second time attending this party, and I haven't touched on many things yet... There are so many secrets involved here... Leonard retracted his gaze and resumed his previous sitting position.
Audrey, the Justice, paused for a moment, glanced at Hugh, the Judge, who was standing two people away, then turned her gaze towards Mr. The Hanged Man and continued:
"He tried to give me a psychological hint, asking me to get in touch with different nobles more often, understand their true attitudes on different things, and then convey them to him. Fortunately, Mr. Fool asked an angel to bless me, and I was not actually affected. Hmm, what should I do next?"
Could there be an angel "blessing"? Leonard looked around in shock again, but still didn't see any other party members showing any obvious emotional reactions.
Of course, he was not at all surprised by the existence of an angel under Mr. Fool’s throne. After all, he had heard the title and corresponding name of “Archon of Death” countless times.
He was simply surprised that the members of the Tarot Club seemed to be able to often pray for this level of help, and he had a higher opinion of this secretive organization.
At the same time, "Trial" Hugh keenly grasped several key words
"Nobles...Psychological Alchemy Society..."
Combined with the long blond hair and green eyes of Miss Justice, she seemed to be able to associate her with a friend.
Audrey Hall!
However, she could not be sure, because in the Loen aristocracy, blonde hair, black hair, green eyes, and blue eyes were all relatively common types, but they were matched differently. Moreover, no one knew how many members the Psychological Alchemy Society had developed in this circle. Therefore, based on the characteristics just summarized, Xio believed that it could not be directly pointed to Miss Audrey.
When she tried to observe further, Alger, the Hanged Man, took the initiative to speak.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to this matter. The major orthodox churches have corresponding protection measures for their relatively important believers to prevent them from being assassinated or hypnotized. This is the experience accumulated over thousands of years of history and it will not be so easy to be destroyed. From another perspective, if the Psychological Alchemy Society can really manipulate the nobles and hypnotize them so easily, it would not be the royal family and the three major churches that rule this country. Obviously, the facts contradict this.
"Well, just as you said, Hvin Rambis only hinted that you should observe the true attitudes of different nobles on different events. This shows that he was very restrained and did not dare to go too far to avoid leaving unnecessary traces. In addition, your actual status in the noble circle should be only on the edge, and you cannot directly participate in various political events. Therefore, relatively speaking, your protection and scrutiny of your situation will not be so strict. This is also the reason why Hvin Rambis targeted you."
Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s analysis was very detailed... Although he had often taught Little "Sun" and the others in this way before, it always implied certain demands, hoping to get useful information from the feedback. This time, there were no similar details. Well, the suggestions he just made for disciplinary actions were also... Come to think of it, it seems that he has been changing like this for a long time, but it was not so obvious before, and I overlooked it... "Justice" Audrey's professional instinct took over, and she quickly did a psychological analysis of "The Hanged Man".
She soon came to some conclusions and suspected that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was undergoing a transformation in his self-positioning!
Ever since Ms. Hermit joined the Tarot Club and demonstrated the channels and resources at sea, Mr. Hanged Man has been unconsciously seeking changes, trying to differentiate his role from that of the other party... Before the problem with the Craftsman occurred, this change was not obvious, and even Mr. Hanged Man himself did not have a clear understanding and awareness. Until recently, he seemed to have finally thought it through... Indeed, in order to maintain the position in the Tarot Club, improving strength is one aspect, and being able to help the whole is another aspect... Audrey "Justice" thought quickly and focused her attention back on the previous topic.
She hesitated for a moment, and her tone subconsciously became solemn
"Does this also indicate that the Orthodox Church has a certain degree of monitoring, control, and guidance over the nobles of important status?"
This was what she had thought of earlier in the office of the "Luen Charity Scholarship Fund".
The picture she drew unconsciously reflected this concern!
In psychology, the elements depicted in similar states often do not point to specific things, but are more of an abstract expression. The "cold eyes" often reflect the fear of external forces watching, monitoring, and controlling oneself and one's family.
Combining her concerns about Hvin Rambis's psychological suggestion before the unconscious painting, and her memories of her parents attending the High Mass of the Church of the Night, where Archbishop Backlund presided over the event, Audrey interpreted that she was not only afraid of the hypnosis and suggestion of the Psychological Alchemy Society, but also of the Orthodox Church. She was not sure that they would not directly use their extraordinary abilities to instill ideas into the noble believers of important status and guide them to do things that violated their true ideals.
This was a blasphemy and rebellion to Audrey, who had received an orthodox education since childhood, so she became nervous and quickly burned the paper containing the picture.
After hearing Miss Justice's question, Alger sneered.
"Isn't this a very normal thing? Living in human society, one must accept certain levels of monitoring, control and guidance.
"I understand what you are afraid of, but think about it, what is the essential difference between controlling and guiding with power, status, money and guns, and similar actions with extraordinary abilities?
"The difference is that one knows he doesn't want to do it but has to do it, while the other doesn't even have the thought of not wanting to do it."
Audrey nodded immediately.
"Yes, this means losing the freedom of one's soul and thoughts. This is the most terrifying thing."
"The Hanged Man" Alger laughed again.
"Where can there be an absolutely free soul and mind? Once you choose a belief and an idea, you will naturally be bound by it. Well, just in the case of the Kingdom of Loen, the three major churches are in parallel, and with the existence of the royal family, they actually form a check and balance between them. If the Storm Church does too much to an important believer, that believer can completely switch to the Night Church. Therefore, in most cases, the Orthodox Church is more inclined to use its religious status and close beliefs to guide important believers, rather than extraordinary abilities."
Checks and balances... "Justice" Audrey pondered over this word and gained a new understanding of the kingdom's upper circles and the entire world. This was a word she had come across before but had not been able to fully understand.
At this moment, she felt that many of her concepts had suddenly matured.
"Thank you for your answer, Mr. 'The Hanged Man'." Audrey used the honorific sincerely. "Then how should I deal with Hvin Rambis?"
"The Hanged Man" Alger said calmly
"His problem is not urgent. You are fully capable of dealing with him. You can obtain less important intelligence, keep the core secrets, and look for opportunities to obtain potion formulas or even extraordinary materials.
"Wait for a while, and when there are corresponding changes, then consider changing the strategy. Of course, we can't be careless. Duke Negan is a wrong example."
As soon as he finished speaking, the World Gehrman Sparrow, who was sitting at the bottom of the mottled long table, looked at Miss Justice and laughed hoarsely.
"By that time, even if Hvin Rambis dies, no one will doubt you."
Even if Hvin Rambis is dead...dead...he is a demigod...Mr. World wants to take action against Hvin Rambis? Well, it's possible. He has been investigating the suicide of Caron. He even told me the true identity of Hvin Rambis...Audrey's eyes widened slightly when she heard this, and her heart was in turmoil.
Even when she hated and feared Hvin Rambis the most, she never thought of killing this member of the Psychological Alchemist Council. She only considered how to circumvent his guidance. On the one hand, it was because she didn't have that kind of thinking, and on the other hand, it was because he was a demigod, half human.
This is the power at the top of the kingdom and the church!
"I know what to do now. Thank you." Audrey took a deep breath and thanked them politely.
...Klein is speaking in a rather arrogant tone now. Uh, he even wants to eliminate Amon's clone in Backlund. One Hvin Rambis is really nothing... "Star" Leonard looked at "World" Gehrman Sparrow with complicated feelings.
The "Hermit" Cattleya and others remained silent.
After finishing the topic of the Psychological Alchemy Society, Klein manipulated the "world" Gehrman Sparrow to actively look at the top of the bronze table.
“Dear Mr. Fool, I have something I would like to discuss with Mr. Star alone.”
Klein did not plan to let the other members of the Tarot Club know about the elimination of Amon's clone for the time being. This was not conducive to keeping it secret and might even make them a target of Amon.
“Okay.” Klein the Fool would naturally not deny his request.
While Leonard was expressing his admiration for the idea of private communication, he told Klein the key points of the old man Pales Zoroast's reply, including the issue of the loss of the Beyonder characteristic of the Worm of Time.
This made Klein suddenly understand how to use his "Spirit Worm" to make spells or bullets.
First separate a few and kill them, and when the properties they contain return to the main body, the remaining materials can be used like the "Time Worm"!
The only problem is that killing the "Spirit Worm" will cause some damage to me. After all, each "Spirit Worm" contains a part of my spirit body. Well, I have to control the number each time, and then I have to fully recover before the next time... Klein thoughtfully let "World" Gehrman Sparrow respond.
“I will confirm whether Hidden Secret will bless you as soon as possible and give you an answer.
"If there is no problem, we will try to collect the seals of the demigod level of the 'thief' path. Of course, I will also try to identify the grafting of fate."
Klein is currently unsure whether the "watch" above the gray fog can see the truth of fate, just like it can discover that believers are "parasitized", so he plans to use the thousand paper cranes to contact "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin and listen to the opinions of professionals.
"Okay." Leonard replied while nodding slightly, muttering to himself that if it was so easy for the "thief" to obtain the demigod-level sealed objects, the old man would have recovered further.
