Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 712 The Fool's Help
This is... the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
In the image of Mr. Fool responding to the prayer and transmitted to Angel, the latter immediately discovered the source of the crimson aura.

That was the light emitted by the scarlet planet that she had seen on Oravi Island when she and Klein were fighting against the mutated admiral's mistress Cynthia after blocking some "external" force.

Compared to the blood moon of similar color, it was more enchanting, and seemed to contain countless desires. Just one glance at it would cause all sorts of bizarre and charming thoughts to emerge in one's mind. Even though Angel had passed a certain stage of being a witch, he was still a little uneasy at this moment.

Fortunately, this strange scene was separated by a layer of gray fog, which allowed her to quickly get rid of the power of desire.

Praise Mr. Fool... Angel thanked that being devoutly, but immediately felt confused and bewildered in his mind: How should he deal with the power attached to his body...specifically, the power of the spirit?
There is no doubt that in the battle just now, the "Mother Tree of Desire" behind the "Evil God" Sua took advantage of the brief contact between Angel and the evil god's black giant hand to secretly attach this power to Angel's spirit.

The reason why he didn't choose the body might be because he was worried that Anne, who was nearby, would notice something unusual. As a "balancer", she was extremely sensitive to the "imbalance" of any object in the surrounding environment. She should be able to detect the abnormality in Angel and "purify" him with her own power, or at least give a warning.

The contamination of the spirit body may not be discovered for quite a long time, until...

This is like the conspiracy of the "Cult of the Celestial Body" on Oravi Island against Admiral Amyrius. Afterwards, Klein deduced that the real target of the "Mother Tree of Desire" was not the admiral, but us... Thinking of this, Angel felt a chill.

As the gray fog image showing Angel's true state dissipated, her sight just returned to herself when she found a flash of crimson light in front of her eyes, which made her immediately nervous, but then, the world in the book in front of her turned into a mysterious palace shrouded in gray fog, with a long bronze table and twenty-two high-backed chairs.

Her spirit came to the gathering place of the "Tarot Club".

Unlike the countless times he came here before, the gray fog surrounding the palace at this time was like the steam on the surface of a boiling soup pot, boiling on its own, wrapping Angel like an invisible giant hand, melting the red light coming out of her body, and cutting off some kind of connection with the infinite distance.

This made Angel feel an intense pain as if his soul was being torn apart. He couldn't help but hug his shoulders with his hands, curl up his body, and moan softly.

But on the contrary, her heart was filled with joy.

Fortunately, Mr. Fool can solve the pollution caused by the Mother Tree of Desire...

……

Looking at the Queen Angel, who was bending over the bronze table with her head down and trying her best not to groan, Klein the Fool, who was hiding in the gray fog, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After realizing that Angel was in danger and using the characteristics of Groselle's Travels and the blood left by the other party in advance to rescue him, he was originally planning to send the travels back to the real world and welcome the other party back as Klein, but he heard the devout prayer of the Fool's believer again.

After looking through the crimson stars, even the knowledgeable "fool" was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

It's the "Mother Tree of Desire" again...

"He" seemed to be obsessed with polluting Klein and Angel through his own aura and power, and had a ruthless determination not to give up until his goal was achieved. The first time was on Oravi Island, when Klein accepted the commission to play Admiral Amyrius. The "Mother Tree of Desire" used the "Cult of the Celestial Body" to openly pollute Cynthia and try to make her have a child with the "Admiral". In fact, the target was accurately pointed at Klein, who was playing the role, and Angel behind him.

Fortunately, in order to conceal his true purpose, the power invested by this evil god was not very strong, so he was eliminated by the two of them working together.

The second time, He instructed the "Rose School" to set an ambush in Bayam, sending out two demigods and "Blood Admiral" Senior, preparing to capture both alive at the same time and achieve the goal in a more direct way.

However, due to the reminder from "Orange Light" Hilarion, the two were fully prepared and successfully fought back during their escape. Although the "divine evil" Sua of the "Rose School" eventually descended on the outskirts of Bayam with part of his power, Angel also summoned "Balancer" Annie. The battle ended with Angel intercepting and killing the "Rose School" demigod Zatwin who was trying to escape, completing the ceremony to be promoted to demigod.

Then this time, fortunately, the magical and mysterious gray fog was still effective against all "invading" forces. Even the power of the true God seemed unable to penetrate it... Watching the gray fog gradually dissipate, Angel's trembling slowly stopped. Klein the Fool closed his eyes with some distress, tapped the table lightly, and whispered:

"It looks like you've run into some trouble?"

…As the gray fog around him faded away, Angel opened his eyes and examined his own situation.

Although only spirits came to the Fool's Seat, she was now able to confirm that the aura originating from the Mother Tree of Desire had completely disappeared.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Fool."

She stood up and bowed, then told the god everything that had happened at the pirate conference.

Of course, some of it was her speculation, such as the reason why almost all the pirates participating in the event were contaminated and became sacrifices. She believed that the food or beer prepared on the dock was tampered with in advance by the "Rose School", because almost all the pirates who stayed on the ship had not "mutated"; for example, the "evil god" Sua did not intend at the beginning, or did not think that he could successfully transmit all his power, or even his body, to the sky above the deserted island in the sea, so he "kept a hand" in advance, made a last-ditch effort when he was about to be expelled, and successfully left a trace of power in Angel's spirit.

"...I think that the 'Divine Evil' Sua was not seriously injured in this battle. After all, 'petrification' is at best a Sequence 2 power, and He is a Sequence 1. He only transferred part of his body and part of his power to a distant place..."

Angel ended his narration with this speculation, and then sat quietly in the high-back chair, waiting for Mr. Fool's comments.

She was actually a little nervous because before the battle, she recited the Name of the Fool beside Annie, which was considered a "leak of secrets" under the rules of the Tarot Club.

Of course, Anne would at most tell the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette, who already knew that I was a believer of "The Fool". It was easy for me to get this honorific title from various rumors. After all, the "Aurora Society" once advertised and searched for "The Fool Who Does Not Belong to This Era"... She comforted herself in her heart.

After a moment, The Fool chuckled and said:

"I think the 'Mother Tree of Desire' has not really projected its power into reality. According to your description, the 'Evil God' Sua first descended through a pre-arranged ceremony and temporary sacrifices. After the 'King of the Five Seas' killed some of the sacrifices, causing the complete descent to fail, he prayed to the 'Bound God' and accepted the power of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'... This kind of power that has been transmitted multiple times may not have much effect. Perhaps it can only locate you after you leave 'Groselle's Travels' for the next action.

"Even if you remove this power, you must pay attention to the possible actions of the 'Rose School', or report it to the seven major orthodox religious sects and get their help."

After the Fool's explanation, Angel thought about it and agreed with this inference. Otherwise, how could the power of a true God be purified so easily? Those Beyonders who were polluted by evil gods such as the "True Creator" and the "Original Witch" could quickly solve their own problems as long as they converted to the Orthodox Church. In fact, they often died in various bizarre occult events...

But no matter what, The Fool responded to her prayer and helped her purify the breath.

However, a hidden god suggested that I report it to the Orthodox God Sect?

Angel's expression was a little stiff behind the gray fog, and he didn't know whether he should take over the conversation.

Mr. Fool must have felt that such a small matter should not be bothered by Him... She found an excuse and stood up and bowed again:
“Thanks for your advice and help.”

As the red light flashed, The Fool was the only one left in the palace in the gray fog again.

Then, Klein quickly leaned back, escaped from the gray fog, and returned to the bedroom of his house in the North District in reality.

He immediately placed the "Groselle's Travels" that he had given himself on the table, sorted out his clothes, and put a smile on his face again.

Then, he opened his arms and greeted Angel, who suddenly appeared in the bedroom with a look of fear on his face.

"Welcome back!"
