Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 384: Fool: Don’t believe in rumors or spread them
What exactly is the Red Angel's conspiracy? I'm afraid that apart from Him, even the major churches that cooperate with Him find it difficult to understand the full picture.

At present, it has been confirmed that the forces cooperating with the Red Angel Medici include the "Iron Cross", "Moss Ascetic Order" and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Einhorn family of Feysac also has the motivation to cooperate with the Red Angel.

"If we assume that the Red Angel Medici's goal is to become a true God, then he now has the following options:"

Adele counted on her fingers and began to count them one by one.

"The first possibility is that he obtained the Beyonder Characteristics from the Witch Cult, and traded two Beyonder Characteristics from the Einhorn Family and the Iron Cross as bargaining chips;"

"The second possibility is that He obtained the trait in the hands of the Einhorn family, and the trait of the Witch Cult is still in his hands, or vice versa, He obtained the trait in the hands of the Witch Cult, and the Einhorn family is still in his hands."

"In the second case, He can only get two complete characteristics, so I guess that those collected mid- and high-sequence Beyonder characteristics may be His trump card. I suggest that you can temporarily assume that the sum of those characteristics can be equal to the characteristics of Sequence One to some extent."

"What you said does make sense."

“Moon,” Emlyn raised his chin and asked in a somewhat lazy voice, “But this is all based on the assumption that ‘the Red Angel’s goal is to become a god.’ But if this presupposed goal is really true, then what does it have to do with us which characteristics He used to become a god?”

What he meant was that, anyway, what they would have to deal with was a "Red Priest", and what exactly this Red Priest was made of was not important to the Tarot Club.

Although according to common sense, the effect of the pieced-together Sequence 3 Beyonder Characteristics is definitely not as good as the original 1+ Angel King, but this difference is almost nothing for the Tarot Club, which currently does not have a Follower God who can compete with Medici.

"Of course it does."

Audrey spoke calmly, without much emotion in her voice, "From whom did the Red Angel obtain the Beyonder Characteristics and by what means? This is related to who we can cooperate with next."

Seeing that Emlyn still hadn't reacted, Audrey glanced at Adele and then explained:
"Ms. Queen's point is not 'from whom', but 'how to obtain it', and the latter can be reasonably inferred from previous information."

"From these, we can further analyze Feysac's attitude towards the Red Angel, as well as the Witch Cult's attitude towards the Red Angel's deification."

"But, since there is an obvious opposition between the Witch Cult and the Red Angel in their paths, how can we just sit back and watch the Red Angel become a god?"

"The Sun" Derrick raised his hand obediently and asked the question that many people in the room were thinking.

Growing up in Silver City, he didn't have as many calculations as others, he just knew to ask if he didn't understand. This also made Xio and Leonard, who also didn't understand but were too embarrassed to speak, feel relieved.

I just missed a Tarot meeting, but why do I feel like I can't keep up with the discussion initiated by Miss Queen...

Xio muttered to himself, and couldn't help but feel curious about what had happened to Miss Queen during this period of time.

"You guys mentioned before that the Red Priest's godhood ritual is related to war. This means that the Red Angel is very likely mixed in with the military system of the Southern Continent."

Adele sorted out her thoughts and took over Audrey's words.

"If that's the case, then our victory may very well mean that the other side's ritual preparations are complete."

"If the Red Priest's characteristics of the Witch Cult are obtained by Medici, they will definitely do their best to destroy the Red Angel's apotheosis ceremony, or even simply prevent the preparation of the ceremony from succeeding. In other words, they are likely to interfere in the war against the southern continent. In that case, we must fight against the Witch Cult and the Red Priest Medici at the same time."

"If the Witch Cult still retains the extraordinary characteristics of their own, then they should be able to let the Original Witch know that the extraordinary materials used by the Red Angel are not complete. And when dealing with an incomplete, or even crazy, Red Priest, the Original Witch does not need to risk the hostility of the Orthodox Church to interfere with the direction of the war."

Adele struggled to explain the connection. "If it's the latter case, the original witch might choose to sabotage the ceremony like George III did, and try to devour the red priest directly."

To put it simply, if the original witch wants to intervene in this matter, she has two choices. One is to destroy the prerequisites of the ritual and make Loen lose the war. This method is safer but will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the Goddess of Night and the Mother Goddess of the Earth.

Another option is to launch a sneak attack when the Red Angel is promoted. The success rate is not low, but the timing must be controlled very precisely, otherwise there is a high possibility of facing Medici directly after the promotion.

The mutual attraction between the high-sequence paths of witches and hunters is much higher than that of other paths. If Chick's God's Descent directly descends in front of the successfully promoted Red Angel, it is equivalent to exposing his own Kingdom of God directly to the other party.

If the Red Angel used the combined extraordinary characteristics, that is, "2.999...+1", then even if He came to attack, Chick probably would not be afraid of Him; but if it was a complete Red Angel, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. Even if Chick could win, he might not be able to suppress the influence of the City of Disaster in the end.

"In fact, the prerequisites for these inferences have been cleverly hidden by the Red Angel and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in the information gap between different forces. That is, only neutral forces like the Tarot Club that have contacts with all parties have a chance to get the answers."

Finally, Adele said something polite, and then asked Audrey:
"Ms. Justice, is there something wrong with my analysis?"

Above the gray fog, Audrey, who was shrouded in a thin gray fog, was silent for a while. Then Adele heard a long-lost chuckle.

"I have to say that inviting you to join the Tarot Club is one of the most correct decisions I have made recently. It is an excellent judgment. It makes me believe that you and Miss Sevens will be able to successfully overcome the difficulties that follow."

“Once Mr. Fool wakes up, he will surely forgive Miss Justice for her actions. You are indeed an experienced and trustworthy Beyonder.”

The words of the Hermit Cattleya were somewhat polite, but judging from the emotions revealed in her eyes that were obscured by the gray fog, these words were not entirely out of politeness.

"No matter what, being able to see the situation clearly is a very valuable quality. You are worthy of being a Beyonder favored by Justice."

Alger also nodded slightly, and at the same time glanced vaguely at "The Sun" Derrick, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Afterwards, other members of the Tarot Club also expressed their approval of Adele, using different wordings.

The poet-like Mr. "Xingxing" suggested that Adele might be more suitable to be a "detective".

The honest Mr. "Sun" thought that Adele's reasoning method was worth learning, and sincerely thanked Adele for answering his questions.

"The Moon" Emlyn was slow to react, and considering that he was Adele's superior in real life, his tone of praise was somewhat reluctant, which made Adele feel a little amused.

As for Miss Judgment, she was originally very talkative, but the injuries on her body caused her to start coughing after just a few words, so she had to give up.

Adele was flattered for a moment by being praised by the seven demigods of the Tarot Club at the same time, but soon her attention was attracted by Audrey's last sentence. After finally waiting for everyone else to finish speaking, she quickly asked:
"It's just a little cleverness... Miss Justice, what difficulties did you mention that Venata and I will face?"

"Oh, you said this."

Audrey nodded. "Gegran told me before she became an angel that if she became an angel, she would participate in the war in the southern continent and liberate the kingdom's combat power first. Before that, she would give you a way to leave the southern continent and let you go back and face what happens next with Venata."

"Miss Judgment is not in good condition. I won't talk to you more at the meeting. When you return to the Northern Continent, Miss Sevens will talk to you in detail."

Audrey added: "She has done a lot during this time."

No, what's next?

Adele wanted to ask more questions, but considering the physical condition of "Judgment", she stopped talking in disappointment, and began to think about the progress of the processing of that magical item.

At this time, Leonard began to talk about his discovery. Adele was absent-minded. By the time she reacted, Leonard was already halfway through.

"Just as the Queen's inference suggests, the Red Angel Medici is indeed in the southern continental war zone, playing the role of a lieutenant general named Avila, who is a combat hero recently praised by the Loen Army."

Leonard tried hard to recall what Pallez Zoroast had said to him. "Mr. Fool's Angel of Time believes that Ouroboros was involved in this, and it involved the replacement and rewriting of the fate at the level of the Angel King, allowing Medici to occupy the original position of Lieutenant General."

Not long before Mr. Fool fell asleep, He had sent down an oracle to Derrick the Sun, asking Him to revise the Holy Scriptures and change the description that originally pointed to Amon to Pallez Zoroast. All members of the Tarot Club knew this, so when Leonard mentioned the "Angel of Time", everyone immediately knew what he meant.

"Since it is Mr. Fool's angel who said it, then you can believe it."

Sun Derrick said as a matter of course, and everyone nodded, reaching a consensus on this point.

Thinking about the changes to the scriptures, Audrey remembered what Venata had reported to her about the doctrine.

This matter was difficult for her to do, because Venata modified the doctrine of the "Spiritual Knowledge Society", which strictly speaking did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Tarot Society. Moreover, she did not leave any actual records. It was completely spread by word of mouth among the illiterate people at the bottom of Feysac, and it was difficult for her to control it.

The original teachings of the Gnostic Society hold that spirit is the essence of man, and the body is merely a cage that binds the spirit. Man commits evil because he is influenced by the body, and must gain knowledge through spirituality to gradually free the spirit from the body, and then go through layers of tests of the astral body before finally leaving the material world and returning to the purest and truest self to gain eternal salvation. Therefore, they worship the original witch who possesses spiritual power.

However, as the great master who is above the spiritual world and reality in the past, present and future, The Fool can also be the object of worship for the members of the Gnosis Society.

Moreover, the image of the "Original Witch" in the doctrine is so ambiguous that it is easy to associate it with other great beings.

The literacy rate of the lower class is generally low, so it is difficult for the doctrine to spread widely without changing. The followers of the Original Witch believe that She is the first and last being born from the chaos and from the Creator, and is also the true successor, which is related to the original Creator; and She and the "Fool" both hold the authority of the spiritual world, which is proof of the relationship between the two in the eyes of believers.

When modern historians study information such as murals left behind by the worshippers of ancient gods, they often construct an intricate network of relationships between the ancient gods based on the description of authority. The relationship network of the Original Witch is one of the most complex among the gods.

In this way, it was easy for the relatively weak Gnosis Society in Feysac to shift the focus of faith from the “Original Witch” to “The Fool” under the secret guidance of Vinata and others. In Feysac, where the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority was dominant, establishing the rumor that the “Original Witch” was actually the wife of “The Fool” in the minds of believers was the first step to add a new anchor for “The Fool”.

Moreover, Vinata hardly needs to do anything for these things. She just needs to find some missionaries who believe that there is a corresponding relationship between authority and gods to preach to the believers. She doesn't even have to find these connections herself. If the Witch Cult asks about responsibility, Vinata or Adele can simply deny it.

——I'm sorry, these missionaries are temporary workers. All their opinions only represent their personal views and have nothing to do with Queen Island Company... Besides, what's the problem with word of mouth leading to deviations in doctrine? If you want to blame someone, blame your Witch Cult for looking for a vest and not swearing sovereignty in the doctrine of the Spiritual Knowledge Society.

Moreover, even in the teachings passed down by word of mouth, there was no clear statement about the status relationship between "The Fool" and "The Original Witch". However, this was after all in Feysac, where men were superior to women. After this propaganda, the number of members of the Gnosis Society increased dramatically in name, but in reality, most of them became the anchors of the "Fool".

Simply manipulating the direction of the rumor would weaken an evil god while increasing the chances of Mr. Fool waking up... Audrey found that she had no reason to stop it.
