Chapter 174: Want to Hear Some Gossip About True Gods?
Upon hearing this conversation, Fors stopped her reflections and quickly looked towards the head of the bronze long table:
"Respected Mr. Fool, I have received three pages of Roselle's diary."
"Very good," Klein nodded slightly. "Indeed, with more members, we have more channels, and many things can grow rapidly like a snowball."
Roselle's diary? Emlyn, learning for the first time that this was a diary, felt like he had just heard something extraordinary.
Under his puzzled gaze, Fors materialized the three diary pages and passed them to Mr. Fool.
After picking up the diary, Klein remembered what he had forgotten and introduced with a light chuckle:
"This is our new member, Mr. 'Moon'.
"This gathering is called the Tarot Club, and they are..."
Moon? Alice looked at him with interest but didn't speak first.
"Mr. 'Moon', I thought the 'Moon' card would be chosen by a lady..." Audrey pondered while politely greeting.
Similarly, Emlyn was speculating about the identities, pathways, sequence levels, and organizations of other members, especially the very strange Miss "Fate".
After a brief observation, Alger quickly determined that the new member, Mr. "Moon", was also quite simple-minded and posed no threat to his position.
While the new and old members of the Tarot Club were observing and speculating about each other, Klein finished reading the diary. As he made the diary disappear, he said:
"You may begin."
This detail once again confirmed to Audrey that Mr. Fool's previous actions were merely to express His anger. She looked at Alice with complex emotions.
Alice didn't catch Audrey's glance. She looked concernedly at her courier "Sun" Derrick and asked:
"Mr. 'Sun', have you escaped that cycle?"
Derrick nodded honestly: "Thanks to your and Mr. Fool's reminders, I found the portrait of the Angel of Destiny on the mural with the words 'Salvation Rose'."
After some hesitation, Derrick ultimately didn't directly call out Ulysses' name like Alice did.
"Ulysses..." Alice murmured, remembering the information contained in those stories she didn't know how to evaluate, feeling a sense of emotion rising in her heart.
The fragments Pallez Zoroast showed her didn't contain much practical information; the two pieces she showed Klein were relatively complete.
Moreover, considering Pallez Zoroast's assessment of Amon and Klein's relationship, Alice felt that the credibility of the information contained in those articles was difficult to determine.
...Perhaps it wasn't even as credible as what came from Amon's mouth.
Alice sighed, missing Amon again.
Thinking carefully, although Amon's speech was full of linguistic artistry, he seemed to have never actually lied to her...
Realizing this, Alice sat up straight and asked Derrick: "Mr. 'Sun', has my gift for Amon been delivered?"
Derrick shook his head apologetically: "There was an accident on the way back to Silver City. I haven't successfully returned yet, but I can feel that the surveillance on me is gone."
Alice sighed in disappointment but quickly cheered up: "Then tell us about the process of escaping the cycle!"
Alger looked at Alice, wanting to say something but holding back.
Although he also intended to induce Derrick to reveal more information about what happened, Alice obviously just wanted to hear a story!
Unfortunately, Derrick didn't perceive Alice's intention and lacked superior narrative skills. He described his experience in the same uninteresting and unexciting language as before.
After detailing each attempt and the corresponding results, Derrick emphasized that the little boy Jack was from Emmat Harbor and described the details of the mural.
When Derrick paused briefly to give everyone time to think, Alice pondered: "It seems we still don't know how to get there..."
Klein, in the gray fog, remained silent about this. He felt that if he and Amon ever truly developed that kind of relationship, it would undoubtedly be related to Alice.
...Oh no, she wouldn't suggest Amon come and try, would she?
Klein seriously considered how to prevent such an awkward situation from happening.
He didn't consider the possibility of Amon refusing this proposal at all, because judging by Alice's personality as a reference, Amon, who could get along with her, might really do such a thing.
...Could Amon really give birth to 108 children in one pregnancy?
This thought startled Klein greatly. He quickly withdrew his attention, not daring to think further—he was afraid he would start considering whether the children would be boys or girls, who they would look like, and what names they should have.
In fact, the books Alice brought out were as mentally contaminating as her words. Klein still couldn't forget that sentence "The taste of the Primordial Witch is really good."
He absolutely wouldn't admit that he even had a nightmare where he agreed to Trissy's request, but halfway through, Trissy turned into Qilangos...
Too scary.
By this time, Derrick had already started talking about another matter:
"The Chief told me that through the previous events and the hints I gave, he thought of some content recorded in ancient classics, though its authenticity is unknown.
"It is rumored that when 'the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God' was watching over this land, He was surrounded by many angels. Among them, the leaders of the angels, the kings closest to the throne of God, were eight in total, including God's offspring.
"He suspects that Amon is the 'Time Angel' among the 'Angel Kings', while the one in the mural is the 'Destiny Angel', Ulysses the 'Tail-Eater'."
Derrick said this while looking at Alice, since both Amon and Ulysses could be considered Alice's acquaintances in a sense.
Of course, Derrick's main purpose was also very clear. After finishing, he asked: "Miss 'Fate', do you know the titles and names of the other 'Angel Kings'?"
"What did your Chief say?" Alice tilted her head slightly, not answering directly.
"The Chief didn't say, and I didn't dare to ask..." Derrick lowered his head in shame.
Alice pondered for a moment, then said, combining the content of uncertain authenticity with known intelligence:
"It might be a good thing that your Chief didn't specify...
"If he knew and said it, I might not be able to see you today... or we might see a body charred by lightning?"
As a not-so-devout believer of the "Lord of Storms", Alger instantly caught the key information and looked at Alice.
Alice propped her chin, slowly scanning the expressions of others, and raised a somewhat mischievous smile:
"Hey, everyone, want to hear some gossip about true gods?"
