Chapter 166: Does the Lord of Storms Really Have an Octopus Head?
After a few seconds of silence, "The World" spoke again in his usual hoarse and gloomy voice: "A lot happened during that time."
Without waiting for Alice's response, he turned to Mr. Fool in the gray fog, pretending to ask for help.
Alice ground her teeth but eventually closed her mouth.
Alger and Audrey glanced at Alice's expression and felt they had learned a new trick.
Klein pretended to nod in the gray fog, then manifested the statues of the six gods along with their corresponding holy emblems.
With the holy emblems, Alice easily identified which gods the statues belonged to and successfully matched the "evil god" image on the mural to its owner.
After pondering for a moment, Alice looked at Alger and curiously asked, "Does the Lord of Storms really have an octopus on his head?"
Klein used all of his Clown's extraordinary abilities and pressed his hand on the table to stabilize himself, avoiding the embarrassing situation of Mr. Fool falling off his chair.
However, no one was in the mood to care about Mr. Fool's mental health at that moment, as everyone had heard Alice's question.
When Alice looked over, Alger had a bad premonition. He steadied himself by holding the table before Alice spoke, so his body didn't sway too much this time.
Audrey fell out of her spectator state, and even her noble upbringing couldn't keep her from losing her composure. At that moment, she finally understood why her tutor taught her how to feign fainting.
She really wanted to faint right now, truly.
Fors remained silent for a moment and did what Alger had always intended to do—she covered her ears.
As for "The World"... Klein had no mood to manipulate "The World" to react.
Only Derrick didn't understand why they had such expressions and asked in confusion, "Who are these six statues?"
Alice tilted her head and said to Derrick, "These are the statues of the six gods. The mural likely depicts distorted images of the six gods."
Derrick was slightly stunned and then asked, "Miss Destiny, are these the gods you mentioned before, like the Goddess of the Night and the Lord of Storms?"
"Yes," Alice nodded, "I always thought the six gods... Hmm? Wait, why are there only six?"
This reminded the others, except for Derrick, that the God of Steam and Machinery was not among them.
This was Alger's moment to shine. After calming his emotions, which had become accustomed to being stimulated, he said rather calmly:
"Rumor has it that the God of Steam and Machinery, originally the God of Craftsmen, was born in the Fourth Epoch. It seems to be true, and the timing of His birth appears to be in the mid to late Fourth Epoch, rather than the early or middle periods..."
Alice nodded thoughtfully.
As a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery, Fors lowered her head in shame.
Derrick asked thoughtfully, "Miss Destiny, do you think this mural is a key point?"
"I don't know," Alice blinked, "I can't get over there."
Derrick instinctively glanced at Mr. Fool, but Klein remained silent.
... What does asking Mr. Fool have to do with me, Klein!
Alger hesitated and glanced at Alice. He genuinely felt that it wouldn't be a good thing if Alice went over, but he didn't dare to say it.
After thinking for a moment, Alger turned to Derrick and said, "You can try to break it, but don't, haha, don't let the Chief suspect."
After a pause, Alger added, "Don't try to pronounce the true name of the Lord of Storms."
"Why not?" Alice blinked in confusion, "I remember you said it's in Giant language... If you shout Leodero, the Lord of Storms will definitely strike lightning to break the cycle."
Alger's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything—he deeply regretted bringing up the matter.
"The World" said tactfully, "I think Mr. Fool would still prefer Mr. Sun to appear at next week's Tarot meeting."
Alice reluctantly gave up the idea of instigating Derrick.
Derrick sincerely thanked:
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hanged Man, you are always so kind and enthusiastic, and also,
"Miss Justice, Miss Magician, Mr. World, you are equally kind.
"And Miss Destiny, your information has been immensely helpful. I don't know how to thank you enough."
Alice waved her hand and said, "Remember to ask Mr. Fool for a gift for Amon when you get out."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Although I suggest you run quickly after the ceremony, if you don't have time to run... Hmm, maybe you could try telling Him it's a return gift from me?"
Derrick suddenly felt deep concern for his future.
Kind? Enthusiastic? Alger didn't know how to react.
It was the first time he had been described with such words.
"Knock, knock."
At this moment, Mr. Fool leisurely adjusted his posture and tapped the table twice, drawing everyone's attention.
"Rose of Redemption." Klein chuckled lightly in the gray fog and answered under everyone's expectant gaze.
... There really is no harm without comparison.
Alger and Audrey glanced at Alice, who was slowly frowning, and couldn't help but sigh.
Why is it that despite having similar statuses, Miss Destiny and Mr. Fool have such different personalities... Ugh.
Audrey sighed silently in her heart, raised her hand, and asked, "Honorable Mr. Fool, what does 'Rose of Redemption' represent?"
If it were Miss Destiny, I wouldn't be able to say "Honorable Miss Destiny"... No, I can't even bring myself to call her "you."
Audrey sighed deeply in her heart for Alice's personality and for Mr. Fool, who smiled without answering.
Facing Mr. Fool's silent laughter, Alger clearly didn't have the courage to deceive Mr. Fool as he did with Alice, so he withdrew his gaze.
At the same time, Alger recalled his previous speculation—Miss Destiny really seemed to be living as a human.
However, it was evident that Miss Destiny often didn't quite understand humans... Thinking of Alice's strange and irreverent thoughts towards true gods, Alger sighed inwardly.
Then, he looked at Alice, who was still deep in thought, and tentatively asked, "Miss Destiny, have you heard of this name?"
Alice opened her mouth but didn't speak, her eyes showing confusion and daze.
