Chapter 384 The Common Will of the Fool and the Stars
George III wanted to be promoted to Sequence 0 Black Emperor on the day of the speech.
This news shocked the Tarot Club members.
Although they all knew that the end of the extraordinary path was blasphemy.
But when they heard that someone wanted to become a god, they still couldn't hide their excitement and shock. More importantly, George III failed despite his thorough preparation.
"Why did George III fail to be promoted to Black Emperor?" Audrey asked the question she wanted to know most.
"Because Mr. Fool disagreed." The world looked eager, and bowed in the direction of Mr. Fool to show respect.
And the stars!
Fors shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to talk about the stars in front of Mr. Fool.
Klein saw her thoughts and added lightly: "In this matter, I have the same will as the stars."
Stars?
The Stars Organization that has been making a lot of noise in Backlund recently?
Mr. Fool actually knows this mysterious existence?
And he quietly completed a cooperation with the other party!
George III wanted to become a god, and the remaining six true gods had no objection, but chose to acquiesce, but Mr. Fool disagreed, and neither did the stars.
So George III's path to promotion failed, and he fell.
This was the most intuitive feeling in the hearts of Alger and others.
After being shocked, Audrey couldn't help but think of Mr. Hasta, who behaved a little abnormally that day.
Could it be that Mr. Hasta was a believer of the stars?
She always felt that Mr. Hasta was very mysterious. Maybe the Stars Organization that Backlund had recently risen was also the one that Mr. Hasta was behind.
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
If Mr. Hasta was a believer of the stars, then she was a believer of the Fool, which meant that she was cooperating with Mr. Hasta.
Audrey raised the corner of her mouth slightly, glanced at the Tarot Club, and her eyes quietly fell on Miss Magician.
She found that there was no shock in Miss Magician's eyes, but instead seemed to be hiding something that was afraid of being discovered by others.
Did Miss Magician already know about George III in advance?
Last time, she was the one who revealed the news about the death of the God of War.
But Miss Magician doesn't look like a big shot?
Suspicious, very suspicious, maybe I have seen her before.
Audrey just looked at her silently with her peripheral vision, and did not disturb Miss Magician.
After everyone's shock was hidden deep in her heart, she gave the world a reward for this news, 500 gold pounds.
Originally, she wanted to give more, but recently she needed to buy extraordinary materials for Sequence 6 hypnotists, so she needed to use them sparingly.
500 gold pounds!
Fors' pupils widened, and then he looked at the world with a complicated expression, and said nothing.
"Okay." Klein was very satisfied with this reward.
Especially since this reward of 500 gold pounds came from Miss Magician's pocket, he felt very rewarded.
Last time, gold pounds flew towards Miss Magician with wings, and now, they all flew back.
Next, Audrey proposed the extraordinary materials she needed. Finally, Alger and the world took on this task. Derrick also said that he would help find it, but he did not need gold pounds, so he allowed Audrey to owe it first.
After solving her most important matter, Audrey threw out a topic as if nothing had happened: "Which extraordinary person in the extraordinary path is better at predicting a person's future?"
"Sequence 9 fortune teller." Alger took over the topic naturally.
"Then what level of extraordinary person can easily predict the ups and downs of a person's life?" Audrey was very concerned about the prophecy coming from the Loen royal family.
"It should be above Sequence 4 Demigod." Alger answered uncertainly.
Derrick added: "Extraordinary people in the destiny path are also very good at seeing through the fate of others. I once heard the chief say that there is an extraordinary sequence called prophet in the destiny path. I don't know the specific sequence."
Audrey heard this and had a certain understanding in her heart. The person who secretly predicted her future must be in these two extraordinary paths.
After everyone finished the transaction, Derrick began to explain about their Silver City. Their last expedition had ended. After going back to rest, they were heading to Afternoon Town for another expedition.
…
In a world without darkness, only the disordered lightning in the sky could bring a little light to this world. Even if this little light was insignificant to people living on the ground, it was one of the few lights of hope that could persist in their lives.
Afternoon Town, located near the Giant King's Court, was dark and dangerous, and had swallowed up countless Silver City expedition members.
Derrick finished the Tarot Club this week, woke up from the campfire, and subconsciously clenched the Hurricane Axe in his hand.
The heavy and cold touch relaxed Derrick's nervous mood.
Every time he attended the Tarot Club outside, he was always afraid that as soon as he woke up, the world in front of him would suddenly collapse like a dream, or be filled with endless darkness, and he could no longer see a little light.
Derrick held the handle of the Hurricane Axe with his right hand, and gently stroked the axe with his left hand, watching the clusters of flames burning in the campfire in front of him with his eyes absent-minded.
The focus of his eyes was gradually gathering in the flames, and he finally came out of the shock he had received in the Tarot Club today.
An existence that was capable of ascending to the status of a god fell under the will of Mr. Fool and the stars.
The world outside was too scary.
The strongest chief in Silver City, if placed outside, would probably not be considered a powerful extraordinary person.
In addition to being shocked, he was curious about and admired the stars.
How great it would be if the light of the stars also descended on Silver City.
He really wanted to see what the brilliant starry sky looked like with his own eyes.
Instead of just imagining it by looking at the illustrations in the books.
Puff!
A slight sound came, followed by the sound of something being dragged.
Derrick woke up from his meditation, stood up, grasped the Hurricane Axe, and took a fighting stance with a vigilant face, looking at the direction of the sound just now.
"Something's going on!"
"Be careful of the monsters hiding in the dark!"
"Light! We need enough light!"
The anxious voices of the team members rang around, and just now another person was dragged away by the monster lurking in the dark.
After a while, there was another rustling sound in the darkness.
Derrick listened to the direction and swung the Hurricane Axe in his hand towards that direction. Several lightning bolts flew out and illuminated that corner of the area.
The dazzling lightning made the monsters hiding in the dark scream in fear, and then quickly retreated to a darker area.
With this time, the chief demon hunter Colin also brought people here, and this place was temporarily safe.
Demon hunter Colin swept the bloodstains still left by the campfire, and looked at the direction of the Giant King's Court with a serious expression. This was the afternoon town outside the Giant King's Court.
The monsters in the dark here have begun to not fear the campfire. The deeper they go, the more dangerous it will be.
But if they don't try, they will never find a way to leave this world, and they will not see the sea or the starry sky.
He glanced at Derrick, who was on guard, and then called everyone together, asking them to form teams to help each other as they had done before, in case the monsters in the dark come to attack again.
Demon Hunter Colin walked at the front of the team, emitting a bright and holy morning light, like the first ray of light falling on the earth when the sun rises, and the area here immediately became as bright as dawn.
The monsters who were afraid of the morning light fled away one after another, and the dense number of them formed a black tide.
"Let's go, keep moving forward."
Demon Hunter Colin led Derrick and others to go deeper with the morning light like a domain.
Soon, they arrived near a half-collapsed church.
This church originally had a high tower, and the whole used classical stone columns and masonry arches, which were heavy and dim.
Passing through the dilapidated gate that could accommodate the giants, they came to the prayer hall. The statues originally enshrined here have been destroyed, and it is unclear which legendary god it is, but the candles on the altar are lit by someone unknown, and are shining alone.
In front of the altar, there is a figure in a simple white robe. He is crawling on the ground and praying in a low voice.
"Not one of us."
"Look at the clothes he wears, he doesn't look like a resident near Silver City. Is it just an illusion like before? Or a monster in disguise? Want to take the opportunity to attack us?"
"Let's be careful so as not to alarm him."
The demon hunter Colin also looked particularly solemn. The more unusual things are here, the more likely they are to contain danger.
Derrick followed the team and looked at the figure in front of the altar. He always felt that the clothes on that person were very similar to what Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice described.
In an environment like Silver City, there are no decent clothes. Unless it is a major sacrificial festival, you will never wear a conspicuous white robe.
In the dark world, such clothes can easily attract the attention of monsters.
This is equivalent to telling the monsters in the dark, I am here, come and eat me.
People who can survive in this world will never make such a low-level mistake.
Could this person also come from the outside world?
