Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 647 Taking a week off

Eternal Sun, Lord of Storms, God of Knowledge and Wisdom...

After hearing the names of these three gods, who are the oldest among the Seven Gods and are said to be born directly from the spirit of the Creator, several members of the Tarot Club who had used the statue of Backlund's underground ruins displayed by Klein as "The World" were shocked. Immediately remembering their specific images, some couldn't believe the content of this painting. The more pious "Justice" Audrey even felt that this was the work of some cultists who slandered and distorted the image of the righteous gods.

"The Moon" and "The Hermit", who joined the Tarot Society later, judged from the performances of others that what "The Sun" said was true, and also turned their shocked eyes to the three who ate the body of the Sun God. of "gods".

No wonder, unlike the Goddess of Night, God of War, and Mother Earth, who only came onto the stage of history at the end of the Second Age, the churches of these three gods clearly recorded in the classics that they were "born from the spirit of the Creator"...

"Maybe this is just a distortion of the birth history of the three gods..."

"Magician" Forsi retorted without confirmation. Although she was not a devout believer in the Church of Steam, she instinctively respected and feared the Seven Gods and could not believe that this blasphemous picture was real.

"But it may be the opposite. These ancient legends lost in time are the truth, and the church classics are beautification."

Cattleya the Hermit pushed up the thick glasses on her nose and pointed out another possibility.

"Why do the three gods retain the history of their birth from the Creator?"

"Could it be that they, or every god, like the high-sequence Beyonders, need an 'anchor' to stabilize their own state?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and tacitly decided to end this topic and change it to something more relaxed.

After all, Mr. Fool has obtained part of the authority of Poseidon, and has even begun to erode the authority of the "Lord of Storms". He may have irreconcilable conflicts with the Seven Gods... Cattleya decided to consult the Queen after the meeting. Of course, she must In the form of secret words, in order to avoid revealing this information and suffering the punishment of the Seven Gods.

"The Hanged Man" Alger tried to analyze. After entering this gray fog space and getting rid of the fear of the gods, he could finally speak freely without worrying about a thunderbolt falling and killing himself, the blasphemer.

"Why do you think the gods want to spread their faith, and why do they fight openly and secretly for believers?"

The Fool chuckled and asked in a teasing tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

Others have similar worries, and are as timid as "Magician", and even want Mr. Fool to find a way to seal this part of her memory, so as not to accidentally say it in her sleep and be broken by the "Punishers" Enter, arrest and silence him.

Based on the discussion just now, they quickly analyzed that dragon worship may also be a "belief" spread by a dragon that has reached the angelic level in order to stabilize itself, which in turn verified everyone's guess.

Audrey was a little puzzled. She asked herself that if she had a similar experience, in order to hide everything, what she should do is destroy all evidence and fabricate a completely false and perfect history. Instead of being appropriately beautified and written into the classics, she would instead give it to someone. Some cultists can take advantage of this opportunity.

"Unless they have the necessity to preserve this history, this 'King of Angels' identity, they will not hesitate to beautify their experiences and write them into the classics... The premise for me to say this is the scene described in this painting For true…”

The “anchor” of the gods, the stable state?
Both "The Hanged Man" and "The Hermit", who are already Sequence 5, have experienced the ceremony of promotion. They immediately thought of the pain when they first took the potion, and the moment when their spirit and body were on the verge of collapse. They thought of the impact of the ceremony on their own state. stabilizing effect.

This is tantamount to acknowledging the correctness of the "Queen's" statement, and clearly points out that the purpose of the gods' preaching is not "gods love the world", but is entirely for the stability of their own status.

Other members of the Tarot Club who had not had this experience also looked at the "Fool" at the head of the long table, hoping that he could confirm or deny it.

At this time, Angel, who had been thinking, also remembered the translated descriptions of Russell's diary that Mr. Fool "rewarded" to him at the Tarot meeting half a month ago, and thought of divinity and "anchor". The importance of maintaining oneself comes to mind.

Fortunately, Audrey, who has not yet left her fiefdom, shared some interesting topics. An expedition team suspected of being members of the "Psychological Alchemy Society" went to a place with dragon worship customs in order to track down the traces of the spiritual dragon. The places were successively affected by contagious mental illnesses, killing each other like crazy, leaving no one alive.

This is tantamount to denying one's own origin and existence. Even those in the Tarot Society who are not high-sequence extraordinary people know that this is tantamount to losing control and committing suicide!

Well, this topic has become less easy... Audrey was a little sad. She felt that her attempt to adjust everyone's mentality had failed. She was about to mention her experience in treating the mental illnesses of other noble children after becoming a "hypnotist". Share, but heard the "Magician" Forsi next to him say:

Could it be that every god has always been in a similar state, so he needs an "anchor" similar to the ritual to stabilize himself and not go crazy?

Therefore, even if there is a "black history" of devouring the ancient sun god and being promoted from the "King of Angels" to Sequence 0, the three righteous gods can only beautify this history with vague narratives, and cannot fully describe themselves before and after becoming gods. Split.

Of course, this is just everyone's guess under the acquiescence of Mr. Fool. No one knows whether it is true... The "Hermit" secretly glanced at "The Fool" and the "Queen" sitting on his left, and there was still a trace in his heart. Confuse.

"Dear Mr. Fool, due to some personal matters, I am worried that the party at a fixed time may be discovered by outsiders, so I want to take leave next Monday."

This was the time she set aside to travel to Trier to negotiate and sign a contract for the publication of her novel. The round trip alone would take nearly a week. If there was a slight delay, she might appear on a steam train or even attend a Tarot meeting in Trier, a place she was unfamiliar with.

Klein, who was hidden behind the gray mist, felt something in his heart and replied in a relaxed tone:
"can."

Then he immediately manipulated "The World" to lean forward slightly, and then said:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I also want to ask you for leave and miss next week's Tarot meeting." Ah, why did two members suddenly ask for leave?

Audrey looked around in surprise, full of doubts.

Mr. "World" seems to be very busy. Not only does he have to complete the occasional commissions from Mr. "Fool", but he also often has extraordinary characteristics of high sequence on hand. This shows that he is either killing people or on the way to kill people. It is not difficult to understand why he asks for leave. thing, but Forsi...

She just looked at the "magician" beside her, wondering why this friend who wanted to stay at home 24 hours a day asked for leave, when another clear voice came from the right.

The "Queen" also took time off for next week's Tarot session!

"In this way, due to the large number of people asking for leave, next week's tarot session will be cancelled."

"The Fool" Klein looked around at the members on both sides and said slowly, but he was a little happy in his heart. He was still worrying about how to induce "The World" to ask for leave, and use this to cancel next week's Tarot Club and steal "Announcement" for himself. "Tigonus Family Notes" left enough time, but to his surprise, "Magician" and Angel had laid the groundwork for everything before he even opened his mouth.

She should be going to Trier for the "Man in the Mirror" matter. It just so happens that she can avoid sneaking into Chanis Gate to steal the notes so that she won't worry about me... He glanced at the "Queen" beside him, Klein Thinking silently.

Ever since he learned the hint of the "Goddess Sword" from Angel and her speculation about the "Trial", Klein has completely given up trying to obtain the notes and obtain the "Cunning Mage" potion formula through "peaceful" means. , although he doesn’t know why the Goddess Church reacted like this, but all he has to do is to use all means to sneak into Chanis Gate and get what he wants!
Following his surging thoughts, all the members of the Tarot Club stood up to pay tribute, and then disappeared into the gray mist as red lights flashed.

At both ends of the long bronze table, only "The Fool" and "The World" were left.

"Then, get ready to start," "The Fool" said in a low, dark tone, "Gehrman Sparrow, contact the 'Queen of Mystery', disguise as 'Ghost' Senior, and then enter the Chanis Gate. "

"The World" stood up silently, put his hand on his chest, bowed, and faded away.

"The Fool" Klein closed his eyes, leaned back on his chair, and let himself sink into the gray mist and return to reality.

It would be best if everything goes well, otherwise, this identity of Dwayne Dantès is likely to be given up, along with my month's social efforts, the mansion where I paid the rent, and the servants whose annual salary was advanced in advance. Housekeepers... He thought with some distress, opened his eyes, moved his stiff body, lifted the spiritual wall, and walked out of the bathroom.

The moment he opened the door, his eyes locked on a figure in the bedroom, and his pupils shrank slightly.

It was Angel wearing a silk nightgown, with her long hair tied back casually.

Fortunately, after I was broken through the spiritual wall last time and saw me walking four steps backward and freezing in place, I took multiple precautions and held a Tarot meeting in the bathroom... Klein felt extremely lucky in his heart.

"I asked Mr. Fool for some help... Why are you here?"

In view of his past "experience" with Angel, Klein took the initiative and preemptively admitted everything before the other party even asked.

Sure enough, the doubts in Angel's purple eyes flashed, and then he said:

"When I heard you asked for leave from Him, I guessed that you might want to sneak into Chanis Gate in the near future... Be careful. When I went to see the Archbishop yesterday, I slightly used the witch's extraordinary ability and was sensed by the seal core of Chanis Gate. Made a counterattack..."

She told Klein about her meeting with Archbishop Anthony yesterday.

"Consistent with my observation, without angel-level strength, breaking into the underground area of ​​St. Samuel's Church is equivalent to death. However, I did not intend to do so, but used some tricky methods."

Klein chuckled and replied, and that confident expression made Angel feel relieved.

Before coming here this time, she originally wanted to postpone her trip to Intis to provide some help for Klein to sneak into Chanis Gate, but according to "Sword of the Goddess" Sesima, getting the notebook was a threat to Klein. Lane's trial, if she stepped in to help, would likely backfire.

Fortunately, he is full of confidence, and with the help of Mr. Fool, he should be able to go smoothly... Angel secretly thought, seeing Klein hesitate to speak, he smiled sweetly and asked:

"Anything else you want to say?"

"I... wish you a safe journey?"

Hesitating, it took Klein a long time to hold back a few words.

What responded to him was Angel's tiger-like attack.

……

It was not until late at night that Mr. Dwayne Dantès walked out of the bedroom and asked the chef to make a hearty and nutritious supper again and send it to his room.
