Chapter 29: Beacon of Destiny
"Since the people of Silver City could not see the light, they groaned and begged, and their cry reached God,
"God heard their cry, and remembered them,
"The fool speaks to the angel of punishment,
"You tell the people of Silver City that those who yearn for light should sing in my name, and I will give them a future." (Note 1)
……
"She wept bitterly at night, with tears streaming down her cheeks. There was no one to comfort her among all her beloved. Her friends treated her deceitfully and became her enemies.
"Her enemies are at the head. Her enemies prosper. Her children are taken captive by the enemies.
"Her leader is like a deer that can't find pastures. He is powerless to walk in front of those who are chasing." (Note 2)
……
"In his fury he cut off the horns of the wicked.
"His wrath overthrew all evil, so that this fortress fell to the ground." (Note 3)
……
Igna spent three days staying in the Church of the Fools from morning till night, and read all the scriptures of the Church of the Fools.
Consistent with "Apocalypse of the Night", the sentences in the Holy Code of Fools are also very obscure and difficult to understand, which is different from the word order of idiomatic expressions.
However, Igna still saw something.
If the previous assumptions are implemented.
——Take the canon deeds of the Church of Fools and the book "Judgment of the Tarot" as propaganda materials of the same church, different editions, and different emphases.
Then, using the various events that appeared in the "Judgment of the Tarot" as a search index, Igna still found several corresponding events in the Holy Code of Fools.
For example, the girl kidnapped in the Kapin case, the prisoner who was punished, etc. Parts that do not appear in other scriptures are outlined in abstract in the Codex of the Fools.
In addition, under the introduction of Pastor Adal, Igna also knew that the code name of the punishment angel walking on the ground is "World".
world!
The last tarot card, a world that echoes the first fool!
In "Judgment of the Tarot", the "world" that directly conveys the will of the fool!
-
However, the scriptures of the Church of Fools also gave Igna a doubt.
In the Fool's Tome, there are only two Tarot elements, "The Fool" and "World".
Other tarot code names, especially in "The Judgment of the Tarot", as the key characters of the magician, justice, judgment, stars, and moon, none of them appear here!
Even in the Fool's Tome, there is no trace of the Tarot Society.
This unscientific!
"Pastor Adal," Igna asked after thinking for a while, "I don't know the name of the Lord and the code name of the representative of the Lord. Why does it happen to be the beginning and end of the Tarot? Does this have any meaning?"
Due to his frequent visits to the church, Ignatius has become acquainted with the half-giant who preached to him.
Knowing that he came from a priest from "Moon City", a descendant of giants.
He also knew that although he was tall and mighty, he was very kind, and he was willing to answer all the Fool-related questions raised by Igna.
Apart from the fact that some believers are too logical, they can still give Igna a lot of help.
"This is his command," Arda replied. "He said he would be called 'the world,' and so we praise his name."
"..."
Igna smiled and said more bluntly: "Then, Mister Fool has nothing to do with Tarot, right?"
"He said he would be called 'The Fool', and so we praise his name;
"He said he would be called 'the world', and we praised his name thus." Arda smiled and repeated the previous words.
Then, the half-giant went on to say:
"Mr. Dalot, did you have this question after reading the recently popular novel?" the half-giant asked kindly.
"..."
Igna was a little embarrassed.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he still has to do it all the time.
Although it is humiliating to equate novels with Zhengshen, this is what he wants to confirm most when he comes here.
Since the other party has already asked, there is no reason not to answer.
There are many more people in the Church of the Fools than the first day, and he is not afraid of Adal's beating!
Yes, he is not afraid.
Thinking of this, Igna scratched his hair embarrassedly, and gave Adal a shy smile: "Yes."
"I read that novel, so I'm a little curious about this."
"Then you can ask me directly." Arda said.
"Ok???"
Igna raised his head and shifted his gaze from Arda's shoes to Arda's face.
Although it took some time, he did not miss the sincere smile on Arda's face.
"Mr. Evans, I'll tell you the truth. I also liked that "Tarot's Trial" very much. That novel is wonderful."
"However, Mr. Evans, novels are novels after all. In our Church of Fools, there is no Tarot Society."
The expected answer.
"Haha, I know." Ignatius laughed dryly, "Just curious, just curious."
With a dry smile, Igna returned the holy book to Arda.
"Mr. Evans, are you leaving now?" Alda asked.
After getting along for a few days, the pastor of the Church of Fools has also figured out the schedule of this gentleman who often comes to see the Holy Code of Fools in the morning.
He comes in the morning and goes in the afternoon.
Bo Wen Qiang Shi is very interested in the Holy Code of Fools and often has many questions.
However, after three days, he still doesn't seem to have any intention of believing in the Fool.
But even so, Arda dutifully answered the question for this gentleman.
Such was the oracle he received from the Pope.
Proclaim the name of the Lord to as many people as possible.
Even if they came from other channels, with not pure purposes.
"May you watch over this temple day and night, the dwelling you promised to make your name. Hear the prayer of your servant here. (Note 3)."
"Anyone who is devout will eventually return to the embrace of the Lord.
"Anyone who rebels will eventually suffer the wrath of the Lord.
"The Lord is fair, He will reward him according to what he has done, and punish him according to what he has done.
"You must spread my name widely.
"The 'World' wakes up, and the 'Fool' returns."
While leaving, Igna heard Arda kneeling before the altar again and praying.
In the setting sun, he reverently recited the holy words in the Holy Book of Fools.
