Chapter 688 Tarot Club without Fools
Mr. Fool has fallen into deep sleep.
This is something that all members of the Tarot Club know.
But the Tarot Club is still there, and still maintains the habit of holding a Tarot Club every two weeks.
Before Mr. Fool fell into deep sleep, He had told all members of the Tarot Club that the Tarot Club would continue to exist and would always exist.
He also said that if he wanted to wake Him up from deep sleep faster and maintain the operation of the Tarot Club, it would be extremely useful.
For this reason, even if Mr. Fool is still in deep sleep, the Tarot Club members have the ability to enter the gray fog for meetings.
Today is Monday, and it is the time point for the first Tarot Club to be held since Mr. Fool fell into deep sleep.
In a quiet suburban manor in the southern continent, Audrey sat in front of the window sill with a restless heart, while Susie lay quietly at the door, occasionally looking into the room to prevent anything from happening.
"A Tarot Club without Mr. Fool... It's hard to imagine what it would be like."
Audrey sighed, looking at the clock on the wall, which was gradually approaching the time for the Tarot Club. She closed the window and went to bed.
She simply recited Mr. Fool's honorific name in her heart. She came to the gray space as usual. In front of her was still a bronze table that could accommodate 22 seats.
What was different from the past was that Mr. Fool's mysterious and ancient figure was no longer at the head of the bronze table.
Today was a Tarot Club without Mr. Fool.
Audrey did not greet as usual, but waited for all the members of the Tarot Club to come to the meeting.
Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Vampire, Little Sun, Miss Magician, Ms. Hermit, Mr. Moon.
The figures that did not appear, except Mr. Fool, Mr. World did not appear either.
When Mr. Fool explained these things, Mr. World had not appeared. As a devout believer of Mr. Fool, he should have a task secretly arranged by Mr. Fool.
All the members of the Tarot Club were silent, like the gray fog that was almost stagnant.
No one had any experience in how to hold a Tarot Club without Mr. Fool presiding over it. Even Alger, who was always knowledgeable, a senior member, and the Pope of the Church of Poseidon, did not speak at the first time.
After about three minutes of silence, Audrey spoke first: "Everyone, I think when we come to the Tarot Club again in the future, we will use these three minutes as the limit to pray for Mr. Fool. What do you think of this proposal?"
Three minutes to pray for Mr. Fool?
After a little thought, the members of the Tarot Club agreed to the suggestion made by Miss Justice.
In the days without Mr. Fool, such a session is both a remembrance of Mr. Fool and a kind of gratitude.
Perhaps this can also help Mr. Fool wake up from his slumber faster.
"Now let's move on to the next session." Audrey did not deliberately show herself, nor did she want to become the future leader of the Tarot Club. She just expressed some of her own opinions.
But some words and actions always make people think that she is the temporary leader of the Tarot Club after Mr. Fool.
At least, that's what Alger thought in his heart.
He had this idea at the beginning, but he didn't put it into action in the end. Mr. Fool has just fallen asleep. If there is a chaos of power struggle within the Tarot Club now, it will be the greatest disrespect to Mr. Fool.
Little Sun, Emlyn, and Leonard didn't notice the atmosphere that the Tarot Club has already emerged slightly, or they didn't care at all.
Fors saw some signs, but she stood firmly on the side of Miss Justice. There was no way. Miss Justice was Miss Audrey, and Mr. Hastur's fiancée.
These two relationships alone were enough for her to stand on the side of Miss Justice without thinking.
Cattleya saw this sign most accurately and thoroughly.
She just glanced at the Hanged Man and roughly guessed what he was thinking in his heart.
From her own perspective, the Tarot Club, which lost Mr. Fool, can adopt a democratic voting system in the short term, but in the future, there will still need to be a temporary person in charge. Only in this way can an organization go further.
She has joined the Tarot Club for a relatively short time and is a latecomer. She does not expect to become the temporary person in charge of the Tarot Club.
Among the current members of the Tarot Club, only Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man are more suitable candidates.
If she really has to choose, she will stand on the side of Miss Justice.
Miss Justice, as her name suggests, her style of doing things is completely trustworthy, and she will not deviate from the original intention of the Tarot Club. Except for not being very fond of managing things and being a little naive, she is the most suitable candidate.
As for Mr. Hanged Man, perhaps his long-term career at sea has caused many flaws in his character. He will pay more attention to material interests such as power, wealth and reputation.
This may not be a disadvantage, but in comparison, she naturally prefers Miss Justice's temporary leadership.
More importantly, she does not think that Mr. Hanged Man is capable and qualified to be above her.
"Our blood clan's ancestor, Lady Lilith, recently issued an oracle, which roughly means that all dangers have passed and the future will be a period of peace." When talking about the current situation, Emlyn expressed his opinion.
"Peace is indeed a good thing for this world." Alger said with emotion.
Leonard smiled and said, "The future will be an era that belongs to the stars."
Yes, the future belongs to the stars!
Fors suppressed his excitement and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Mr. Fool had always had a friendly relationship with the stars before he fell asleep. Now that Mr. Fool is asleep, I believe that in this era of stars, the light of the stars will also bless each of us."
"The stars are also one of the three gods we believe in in Silver City." Derrick also spoke.
"I believe that the future will be a peaceful era worth looking forward to." Cattleya also nodded.
After talking about the current situation on the continent, the Tarot Club discussed for a while, and the topic soon returned to the future direction of the Tarot Club.
When Mr. Fool was asleep, he did not arrange the future direction of the Tarot Club, but handed the future of the Tarot Club to each of them.
Let them decide the future fate of the Tarot Club themselves.
This is a good intention, but it also leaves a lot of problems.
Today, the Tarot Club is no longer an unknown weak organization because of Mr. Fool, but a powerful secret organization second only to the Orthodox Churches such as the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of the Stars.
It can be said that the influence of the Tarot Club on the real world is growing.
A growing organization naturally needs a route forward and a temporary person in charge, or a clearer set of rules and regulations.
"The original intention of the Tarot Club was just to help each other among members, and there was no other idea." Audrey frowned slightly.
She and Mr. Hanged Man were the first members of the Tarot Club to be summoned here, and witnessed how the Tarot Club came to its current position step by step.
"It's easy to say that you should keep yourself out of trouble, but the influence of the Tarot Club is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable that you need to contact other secret organizations or Orthodox Churches. We really need a clearer action program." Cattleya took a deep look at Miss Justice, who had no determination or ideas in this regard.
Audrey frowned, and she understood the meaning of Ms. Hermit's words.
In the past, when Mr. Fool was here, he would make decisions on any major issues. They only needed to follow Mr. Fool's will and do their own things.
But now that Mr. Fool is sleeping, it's like a country has lost a monarch who can stabilize the kingdom and issue orders.
Although this metaphor is not very appropriate, the meaning is the same.
"There are currently seven members of the Tarot Club. Perhaps we can adopt a voting system, one person, one vote, specifically to solve some issues that the Tarot Club encounters that require decision-making." Audrey pondered for a while and put forward her own ideas.
"What do you think?"
