章節 265: Chapter 183: A 'Warm' Welcome
'New member?' Audrey thought in shock that immediately turned to joy. She quickly turned to look at the aforementioned.
It was difficult to see the more specific details of The Sun thanks to the gray fog but Audrey could still see some.
The Sun has brownish-yellow hair and wore a unique black tight suit that was different from the clothing of countries in the Northern Continent.
'What curious clothes... Maybe Sun is from Feysac?' Audrey thought excitedly, trying to figure out the origin of the Sun.
She was very excited to see the growth of the Tarot Club. She felt like a protagonist.
Alger creased his brows, a bit annoyed that The Fool dragged in a new member so suddenly.
'He should have mentioned it to us at least... But a great figure like Mr. Fool shouldn't care about our feelings...' He thought in exasperation before giving a simple greeting to Justice, Chariot, and Sun.
Adryan for his part, just gave a simple greeting to the rest and returned his attention to the ceiling but actually looked at Sun out of the corner of his eye.
'Something's weird... Isn't it too early for Sun to join? If I remember correctly, he joined in the middle of August, that is, a week later...' The redhead thought seriously as he looked at the young Sun.
He held back a sigh as he then rested his cheek in his palm.
'It seems that things are happening faster than I expected...'
Audrey after analyzing Sun and coming to the conclusion that he was someone young and that he gave the air of a lone wolf, left her Spectator State and looked at The Fool.
"Mr. Fool, I have collected another 2 pages from Emperor Roselle's diary." She said with joy.
'It really was 3 pages but I only managed to memorize 2... The symbols were too complicated and too difficult to memorize.' Audrey added in her heart a little embarrassed.
'New pages?' Klein's heart gladdened. He smiled and asked.
"Miss Justice, what do you need?"
'Please something easy!' Klein added in his heart.
He wasn't worried in the least that someone like Justice would ask for money, she showed she had plenty of it. He was worried that she would ask for something that he could not give.
Audrey's eyes lit up with excitement but she responded in a reserved manner.
"I would like to know, if possible, the name of the following Telepathist sequence."
'Hey girl, aren't you in a hurry? Just a few weeks ago you got the formula for your Secuence 8 and now you want to know the name of the next sequence?' Klein began to consider what to answer.
He couldn't tell Justice the name of the next sequence because he didn't know it but if he did he wasn't sure he would tell her...
Thanks to someone, Klein didn't have to worry about responding.
"Telepathist? Like the Telepathist that is followed by the Psycho Analyst?" The Sun interrupted.
Audrey looked towards him puzzledly.
"You know of it?"
At the same time, she saw a problem through her Spectator instinct.
The Sun had used the old title Psycho Analyst instead of the modern title, Psychiatrist!
'This guy is a little weird…' Audrey examined Sun's every move.
'What did I tell you before?! Don't talk carelessly!' Klein wanted to slap his face with all his might.
He used the corner of his eye and saw how what Sun had said had caught not only Justice's attention but Chariot's attention.
The strongest member of the Tarot Club was looking directly at Sun.
Klein wanted to slap Sun on the head for drawing the attention of who he shouldn't have!
'Great as soon as Sun arrives he's going to be bullied...' Klein lamented for the young man but he couldn't do anything to help him, he could only pray that he wouldn't blurt out anything that would draw Chariot's attention even more.
'Now I just wonder how long it will take Chariot to discover the origin of the Sun... Maybe in the next Tarot Club or the one after that? It would be ridiculous for Chariot to conclude today that Sun is from the Forgotten Land of the Gods... right?'
Remembering what had happened at the first Tarot Club, Klein bit the inside of his cheek.
'...right?'
'You don't know how to shut your mouth, do you?' Adryan thought with an amused smile as he looked at Sun.
Not knowing that he was already dancing on the wolf's tongue with an apple in his mouth and bathed in sauce. Sun, or as he was better known, Derrick Berg, responded seriously.
"I can get you the formula!"
Then, he felt guilty because he couldn't provide it right away. He tried to explain himself.
"It is a sequence that comes from the Dragon race. And our City of Silver was once ruled by the Giant King imperial household. As you know Giants and Dragons are sworn enemies. Hence, Silver City of Silver has all sequences 9, 8, and 7. I have ways to get them."
'This kid…' Klein wailed deeper and was barely able to stop himself from slapping himself across the face.
The boy had walked in that by himself...
Now all that remained was to wait for the show.
He could have stopped Sun at any time if he wanted to, he just had to stop translating and the rest of the Tarot Club wouldn't have understood him at all.
But Klein took another path. He felt this would make his image as a great existence stronger and further remove any doubts Chariot might have. So he just sat and listened to everything with a smile without saying anything.
'I can also get more information without having to ask and ruin my image. So the origins of the Spectator sequence come from the Dragon race... That explains the Dragon on the back of Justice's seat...'
'Giant King, Dragon race, City of Silver...' Audrey was confused. She first took a look at the Hanged Man opposite her, but she could tell he was just as shocked and confused by his body language.
She then turned and saw how Chariot simply had his cheek resting on his palm as he looked at Sun with a smile that was very familiar to her...
'Looks like Chariot knows something...' Audrey only allowed herself to look at the man for 3 seconds before looking away.
Not wanting to suffer the wrath of that smile, she simply glanced sideways at the seat of honor at the top of the bronze table. The Fool watched everything that happened with a smile. The figure covered by grayish-white fog showed no shock, no thought, no curiosity, and no doubt.
'He knows... He knew all this...' Audrey and Alger came to the same conclusion.
"He he..."
Already familiar with the laughter, Audrey and Alger turned to look at the smiling Chariot.
Derrick for his part, looked somewhat confused at the laughing man, not understanding why he suddenly laughed.
'Here it comes...' Klein thought heavily as he watched Chariot cover his mouth with his right hand.
'At least maybe I can get more information on the Forgotten Land of the Gods through Sun's suffering...' Klein tried to see the bright side of what was about to happen.
Lowering his hand, Adryan looked at the Tarot Club members with a small smile.
"Oh excuse my manners, it's just that what Sun said is quite amusing to me."
Derrick frowned and looked somewhat annoyed at the man.
"What do you think is funny Mr. Chariot? I didn't tell any jokes."
"Hahaha Oh sweet summer child~ I think you misunderstood me." Adryan said amused. Annoying and embarrassing Derrick a bit.
"Then explain please." Derrick said a little upset.
Adryan smiled some more.
"You see little Sun. It's not like you told a funny joke it's just that you revealed where you're from without letting me guess for myself."
"huh?" Derrick was confused and a little stunned.
"It's a little game of mine, in short, it keeps me busy." Adryan explained shortly but then continued with a sharp smile.
"But at least where you come from is very interesting you know?"
Before Derrick could question what he mean by that, Adryan continued.
"Correct me if I'm wrong but it's 2583 years in the dark right? Having only lightning to light up your day must be a horrible thing knowing that if you stay in the dark you'll disappear never to be seen again, and the monster that crawls out of the dark ready to devour..." He said with a heavy tone and then added with a small smile.
"It must be very hard living like that right? If you can even call that living."
Audrey and Alger couldn't help but be stunned.
Lightning to light up the day? Disappear in the dark? Monsters? What the hell was Chariot talking about?
What he described seemed like a nightmare. They both turned to see Sun.
What kind of place is where he lived?
Klein barely held back a sigh.
'Of course, he would know...'
Derrick felt offended but also a little confused.
The way Chariot had said it was not how someone from the City of Silver would have phrased it. It was as if the man had described a place he read about?
Derrick looked at the man and noted his red hair. While there were a few people with red hair in the City of Silver, none of them had such a bright color.
'I would remember seeing someone with that hair but I've never seen him?' Derrick thought seriously as an idea struck him.
'Could it be possible that he is from another surviving city? Is the City of Silver not alone?' Hope burned in his heart and he wanted to ask very badly but held back in the end.
'This is the hope of the City of Silver... I have to act carefully, I can't jump to conclusions.'
"Mr. Chariot you do not appear to be a part of the City of Silver. What city-state are you from?" Derrick asked.
Adryan smiled
"I'm not from any city-state Little Sun"
He pointed at Justice and the Hanged Man.
"Actually, none of us here are. Let me ask you a question. If we're not from where are you from, where do you think we are from?"
Derrick was a little stunned and very confused. If none of the members were from the City of Silver, where else could they be from?
Making a wild guess, he looked uncomfortably at the members and asked sheepishly.
"Are you from another planet?"
"Hahaha hahaha"
Seeing poor Derrick's confusion, Adryan laughed and shook his head.
"We are all from the same planet Little Sun but in some ways we are different."
Seeing that Derrick was still confused, Adryan smiled and explained.
"While your skies are full of black clouds and thunder, ours are blue and with the sun illuminating us. While your darkness will devour you if you stay in it too long, ours does nothing. You fight monsters to survive, we don't have to ever worry about that."
Adryan leaned back in his seat and inclined his head with a smile.
"With everything I've said by now you should know where we're from."
Derrick began to tremble and looked at the group in astonishment.
If what Chariot said was true, there was only one place they could be from!
"You are from the World of Light!"
Adryan smiled and winked mischievously.
"Bingo."
"The world of light..." Derrick lowered his head and continued to tremble but not with anger or annoyance but with joy!
Extreme joy!
'Not everyone was struck by calamity! There is hope!'
Derrick felt his blood burn but he bit his lip to keep from reacting. He didn't want to offend the godlike Fool.
After more than two thousand years the City of Silver had finally gotten an answer and a new hope!
He couldn't afford to lose it because he reacted like a little child!
Audrey seeing how Sun was shaking misinterpreted his extreme joy with discomfort. Unable to help but empathize with the young man, she tried to help out a bit by attracting Chariot's attention.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chariot? You seem very familiar with the Sun's place of origin. Would it be possible for you to tell us a bit more about it?"
Klein looked at Justice with emotion and internally sighed happily, having someone like her helped a lot.
Adryan turned to look at Justice and tilting his head slightly to the side, he smiled.
"Of course Miss Justice. Also, don't worry~ This one is in the house."
Pointing his hand at the trembling Sun, Adryan's smile grew.
"Our newest member is from the Forsaken Land of the Gods."
章節 266: Chapter 184: Another Senior?
"Forsaken Land of the Gods!" Due to her young age in the Beyonder world, Audrey was unable to control herself and blurted out the name in shock.
She looked at Sun in complete shock.
Alger, much more mature than Justice, was able to control himself better but he couldn't help but look at Sun in a daze.
'The Forsaken Land of the Gods is real? It wasn't just a legend... And Sun comes from there!'
Alger looked sideways at the figure covered in gray fog sitting in the seat of honor and saw how he was sitting relaxed looking at everything as if nothing disturbed or surprised him, as if he already knew everything.
Alger immediately lowered his head and began to tremble slightly.
'The 7 churches have searched for the location of the Forgotten Land of the Gods for a long time without any results but Mr. Fool just introduced us to a member of that land like nothing!'
If The Fool could do that that meant he knew where the Forsaken Land of the Gods was!
'Couldn't you hold back a bit? Sun may look like a big man but he's still a teenager.' Klein mentally complained about Chariot's bullying but still made no move to interfere.
And that was because he got a lot of benefits from letting Chariot talk.
Feeling the looks he was receiving from Justice and the Hanged Man, Klein internally thanked the Bully.
'My image became bigger and more mysterious! Having someone like Chariot can be dangerous but it brings many benefits.' Klein thought cheerfully while maintaining his smile.
Adryan wasn't done yet. The redhead turned to look at The Fool and smiled at the same time that he placed a hand on his right chest and made a small bow.
"Your power is much greater than I could have ever thought possible Mr. Fool. The feat you did in bringing Little Sun here has to be praised and prayed for it can only be described as a Miracle among miracles." Adryan's tone was one of reverence and faith, as if he had seen a divine feat and he wanted to applaud and praise it.
Klein felt the tips of his ears turn red and a whirlpool of embarrassment rose in his stomach.
'Shut up! I didn't know that Chariot could be so flattering and that it felt so weird to receive that side of him! I don't know why but it feels bad!' Klein thought full of embarrassment, he wanted to sink into his seat.
Without moving, he looked at Justice and Hanged Man and saw how they were now looking at him in amazement and astonishment.
Klein now wanted more than anything to return to his body and lock himself in his room.
'So much admiration... If they knew that I'm nothing more than a small sequence 9, how would they react? Or rather how would Chariot react?' The mere thought of this man finding out the truth sent a chill up his spine.
'At least that won't happen... It seems that bringing Sun here is something much bigger than I thought if Chariot reacts like this... That's good, this means that his idea of who I am has been strengthened.'
Who would think that a small sequence 9 would take someone out of a land of legends just to attend a small Club?
Putting his thoughts and embarrassment aside, Klein smiled and said calmly.
"It was something simple."
'Something simple?' Alger trembled slightly at the Fool's calm tone.
He had achieved something that not even the 7 churches achieved and he said it was simple?
'Mr. Fool is much more powerful than I thought! Well... He has to be to pull off something Chariot described as a miracle...' Audrey thought with excitement and a bit of discomfort.
But she quickly shook off her discomfort which was transformed into joy.
'That means our Tarot Club is much stronger than I thought!'
'Something simple like getting someone off a land blocked by the death of a religious fanatic? Yes of course Klein. Your bullshitting ability is undoubtedly a divine power in itself. Not even the gods would be saved from your power!' Adryan thought flatly as he rolled his eyes.
While insulting another of Klein's special abilities, the redhead added.
"I have another two pages from the diary of the Emperor Roselle Mr. Fool."
Reacting and coming out of his shock, Alger looked at The Fool and said.
"I have managed to obtain a collection of 20 pages of the Diary of the Emperor Roselle Mr. Fool. Unfortunately, I am only able to memorize 2 at a time. I hope this is not a bother."
Klein, still embarrassed, just nodded but couldn't help but feel quite pleased.
'20 pages! I can't wait to read them!' Klein thought with a smile as he said.
"Don't worry Mr. Hanged Man, I understand that it is difficult to write the symbols left by the Emperor."
'I especially understand because his handwriting is horrible and worse than a doctor's.' Klein added mentally.
He still remembered the original pages that Old Neil had shown him...
Looking at both men, he asked.
"Tell me gentlemen, what do you need?"
"Nothing for now Mr. Fool. I'd like to convert them into contribution points." Adryan said calmly.
Alger thought for a few moments before shaking his head.
"Same with me Mr. Fool."
Klein nodded nonchalantly and held back a sigh of relief but at the same time, he wanted to laugh in defeat.
'At this rate, my debt will only grow and grow...' Klein thought heavily as he brought out the goatskin parchment and red fountain pen in front of the original trio.
After a few minutes, 6 pages appeared in his hands and Klein began to read.
Adryan, Alger, and Audrey fell silent, waiting patiently for The Fool to finish reading.
Derrick looked around still shaken but confused.
Why were they silent?
Derrick really wanted to say something but he stopped himself and decided to wait for this silence to be broken by someone else.
'Little Sun is still quite a respectful guy... He's a good kid.' Adryan thought calmly as he caught sight of the young man out of the corner of his eye before looking up at the ceiling and gazing up at the crimson stars.
'It seems that Sun has better self-control than I thought. He's finally doing what I told him...'
Klein, seeing that nothing had happened contrary to what he expected, returned his attention to the pages of the Diary.
He decided to start with the Justice and Hanged Man pages because they were the most full.
__ November 3___
Matilda is 3 months pregnant...
___ November 8th___
Archbishop Fan Espin sought my help. What could I do for an Archbishop?
_November 9___
It turns out that there is a secret hidden in the sequence pathways. Archbishop Espin told me that after becoming a Sequence 5 Beyonder, the rest of the sequence can be replaced with Sequences of the same level from one or two other pathways! In other words, start from Mid-Sequence to High-Sequence! Mystery Pryer and Savant can be interchanged starting with sequence 4!
Unfortunately, this is limited to one or two pathways. If you use the wrong pathway, semi-insanity is the mildest outcome...
____
'It turns out that you can replace the pathway after Secuence 5! But this is totally different to what the Nighthawks told me!'
'Wasn't it a fact that you couldn't change your pathway when you chose one? It turns out that there are exceptions to this rule...'
Klein thought as he read the pages of the diary, his pupils contracting.
He looked down and saw that the date was wrong. Although the two pages were connected, the chronological order was wrong because the dates belonged to two different periods. This could be a mistake by whoever copied the page.
__April 9th___
The relationship between the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is poor. Each sees the other as an enemy and neither will hesitate to kill the other...
___ April 13th___
I participated in an ancient gathering organization. I never thought they would also be a part of it. It sure is scary...
They have in their hands the Second Blasphemy Slate!
...Hehe... Maybe the day will come when I make my own Blasphemy Slate, one unique to me!
No... It will be a set of them, with each one hiding an ultimate secret!
___
'Holy Fuck Roselle! Why didn't you write down the name of this ancient organization?!' Klein cursed the Emperor with all his might for leaving him wanting to know.
But he quickly realized a problem.
'Why didn't he write the name of that ancient organization in Chinese? There is a reason for that? Maybe...maybe Roselle didn't even dare to write it in Chinese...' Klein looked at the diary page, a bit uneasy and puzzled.
For someone like Roselle to not even dare to write it, there must be a very good reason...
Inwardly shaking his head, Klein began to read the pages handed out by the Hanged Man.
__ December 19th__
To whoever is reading this, I want you to know that I finally did it!
I finally got past the first floor!
I can't fucking believe I'm saying this but I'm an idiot!
The most idiot of all!
How did I not notice it at first if it was right before my eyes?
It's worse since my friend from work when I was still in my world was a fan and always told me stories about it.
For fuck's sake, I even went to see the Christmas special with him when it came out in December 2014.
Oh! I really miss that ugly and fat bastard! He made the best carrot cake I ever ate!
I'm getting off-topic, sorry.
You don't know how much I would like to tell you about what I faced but I can't.
The Tower has a kind of contract that prevents me from telling my experiences in it or about the enemies there.
The only thing I can do is give you very small clues, but I doubt that they will be enough for you to discover what I mean.
I'm getting off-topic again.
Forgive me but I'm shaking and I want to cry, I've already stained this page several times and I had to rewrite it.
But who can blame me?
To make it short...
Turns out I'm not alone!
Whoever created this Tower is from my world!
Our world!
