"The Fool..."

Leonard was shocked for a moment when he held the card.

Even if he didn't pay attention to this aspect, he could guess that the Tarot card of "The Fool" with the image of Roselle Gustav must be the legendary "Blasphemy Card"! This was not the first time he had seen the "Blasphemy Card", but this was the first time Leonard had held an item of this level in his hands... Although it didn't have any special effects, it was made by the high-sequence Roselle Gustav, and it also contained the secret of becoming a god. This must be at least a Level 3 Sealed Item, right?
What's more, this is the "Fool" who is full of metaphors. His mind is in a knot and he can't even speak clearly:
“Old, old man, was it the Extraordinary Aggregation that led you here? Is this the thing you’re looking for? But aren’t you coming from the ‘wrong’ path? What should I, uh, do with it? Should I hand it over to Mr. Fool?”

After finishing speaking, Leonard suddenly exclaimed:
"So the figure covered in gray mist on the seat I just saw was Mr. Fool?!"

Pales was quiet for a moment: "Hmm."

What does "huh" mean? Leonard was puzzled. Fortunately, before the old man's image in his mind became more mysterious, Pales took the initiative to explain: "...My goal was not originally this card. After all, the aggregation ability of adjacent pathways is not that strong. But since I found this thing here that attracts me, and this "Fool" doesn't mind, then I will definitely take it away."

Pales was quiet for a moment.

He had several reasons for asking Leonard to come to the ruins of the "Country of Night". One was the "Card of Blasphemy" that attracted Him. The second was to confirm the identity of "The Fool" by seeing the other party's reaction when he approached the "Country of Night" and tried to take away the "Card of Blasphemy".

As for the third purpose, Pales wants to take this opportunity to get close to The Fool.

After all, Leonard had only been to Sefirah Castle a few times before, and he had never known what kind of existence The Fool was.

"Of course, don't think that it's ours just because you got it. This is an item related to The Fool. Leaving it here will only make other Fortune Tellers subconsciously approach you. You have to give this card to The Fool or your former colleague later."

Other fortune tellers? You mean the "Secret Society" of Intis? I'm about to enter Intis. If there are a lot of mid- and high-level fortune tellers around me, even with the old man by my side, there will be troublesome things... Leonard nodded, indicating that he had fully understood.

At the same time, he looked around and found that behind him was the main entrance of the church.

After the direction changed, in front of him and around him were normal city ruins - but it was not right to say that these were ruins. Pales still affected his vision. He saw that the misty ruined temple was still hidden in the sky here, and faint black lines extended outward from the temple, and no one knew where they went.

According to historical records, the displays and furnishings in the buildings of the Hornachis Mountains are well preserved, the murals are intact, and some tables still have many plates with dried and rotten traces in them... In some rooms, you can even find completely spoiled wine...

The discoverer mentioned that when he first saw this scene, he even thought that the residents here evaporated in an instant!
The more Leonard looked at this quiet town, the more frightened he became, because he seemed to have known where the residents of this town had gone - in the temple in the mist above his head. Perhaps because of the battle, or perhaps because of the sudden madness of the gods, all the people were hung in front of the gods at the same time!

Knowing that there was not even a single spirit here, when Leonard walked through the street, the wind blew the textiles that had not yet completely decayed. Countless windows seemed to have become empty eyes. The bodies or souls of the dead residents seemed to be standing quietly in the hidden places and houses, staring at Leonard, the visiting living person, without blinking.

I feel a little creepy after staying in this place for so long...

Leonard rubbed his arms. He didn't dare to continue his leisurely sightseeing. This place left an indelible psychological trauma on him.

His steps became faster and faster, and finally he ran straight down the mountain, as if something extremely terrifying was chasing him from behind.

……

"What is the current situation of Feysac?"

"There is no leader. The Pope of the Church of the God of War - Oh, the Patriarch, He is doing his best to maintain the stability of the country and the faith in the God of War, but it is useless because prayers to the God of War will no longer be answered, and he, an angel, can only guarantee the response of the capital."

"The Einhorn family took this opportunity to expand the influence of the royal family. After all, when they attacked Loen before, they had put the emperor's name and the name of God together. This is considered official endorsement. The Church of the God of War shot itself in the foot."

"But they have lost their gods after all. It won't be long before the country will have a tendency to split. Now is also a good time for foreign faiths to settle in... At present, it seems that Bethel Abraham is not interested, but no one knows his true thoughts. Antigonus seems to be dead, so Klein Moretti, who is about to become a new 'god', may take action on this land."

Medici scratched the beach with a branch a few times, looked at the scribbled world map and the words on it for a while, and asked:

"Did Bethel Abraham and Antigonus work together to kill Badhair?"

Edward carved an "A" on the shell he had just picked up from the beach and threw it on the area that symbolized the Feysac Empire. He smiled at Medici and said, "Why ignore that name? Klein undoubtedly contributed to Badhair's death, just like when you fought against the God of Thunder, he helped you after becoming a demigod."

"That kid..."

Medici frowned and hissed through gritted teeth, his face still full of disbelief - "I never doubt the Lord's judgment of people, but Klein's performance is still too unexpected, isn't it. I don't know how to view him now."

"You're still using him," Edward said. "Hasn't that already shown your attitude?"

In Medici's impression, the other party was still the demigod who turned into a self-destructing infantryman and chased Amon after learning that all his believers had died in the God-Forsaken Land. Facing Amon's clone with the same sequence as himself, he had no choice but to perish together. And now, just a few days have passed, and you told him that Klein made a lot of efforts in the process of killing the god of war Badhair, and also took back the Sefirah Castle from Amon who had gathered all the characteristics, inherited Antigonus's legacy, and entered the promotion state...

Medici looked at Ouroboros, trying to see the direction of his fate from the eyes of the angel of fate. Ouroboros also looked at Medici, and saw a lot of "Fuck" and "I can't accept it" on Medici's face.

"Klein helped them kill the God of War." Medici found the most likely and acceptable way to express it. "Such a development is not incomprehensible."

After all, theoretically speaking, Klein was unfamiliar with the God of War and Antigonus, and the battle situation at the time was "Antigonus wanted to kill the God of War" and "Bethel Abraham also had a grudge against the God of War and was willing to help." In this case, Klein could win by following their ideas and providing help, and he could also gain Antigonus' favor.

If he chose to target Antigonus, Bethel would probably be the first one who didn't want to be distracted when facing the God of War.

The strategic wisdom is not bad either... Medici thought.

Gaining power and becoming a god are certainly good things, but it would also be nice if this guy could come to my legion and serve as my staff. "I hope it's him, but reality and the future are not subject to my will. I also hope someone else can talk to me about becoming a god, but is it possible?" Medici shrugged, then lowered his head and turned his attention back to the simple sandbox in front of him. "Of course, I also believe that it was Klein, because if it was someone else, they would not have disappeared directly after accommodating the uniqueness and Sequence One. Oh, did I forget about little Zaratul? But when He was promoted to Sequence One, He was already in the secret place, unlike Klein now."

...From this perspective, Feysac is indeed a hotbed of war.

Medici soon got his answer.

Loen obtained Feynaport and successfully carried out a "divine punishment" on the independent colony, which effectively diverted conflicts and eased economic pressure by demonstrating the power of the gods. Now the atmosphere of religious fanaticism in Loen should become even stronger.

Feynaporte had lost its population, and this was bound to cause unrest.

But people don’t dare to resent the gods after all, and at this time, the benefits of a drastic reduction in population can be shown.

...The most critical situation now is the Feysac Empire, which will split if left alone. But if Klein has the inclination to establish a church, then as long as he accepts the Beyonders who are willing to surrender from the Church of the God of War and the Feysac military, and eliminates the few middle and high-level people who are very devout and willing to sacrifice their lives for their religion, he can quickly stabilize the situation, which is also an inevitable measure to deal with the future situation...

But! If I want to start a war quickly, I must borrow the identity of the Einhorn family, maximize the influence of the royal family in the shortest time, and use the existing army.

Oh! That guy Einhorn should thank me.

Without me, they would have wasted their lives in boring political struggles and finally been wiped out by foreign enemies.

At the same time, I also have to recruit as many traitors from the Church of the God of War as possible. If I just kill these extraordinary people, even if I gain the corresponding characteristics, I can't use them in the "Red of War" immediately, and I can't train experienced extraordinary people of the same level in a few years. Whether it's digesting magic potions or accumulating experience, it takes enough time...

For ordinary nobles and people in Feysac, there is no need to over-publicize the fact that "the God of War is dead". They should still retain their faith in the 'God of War', and my goal is directly against the Einhorn family and their Sequence Ones. This will help me take over the cathedrals and stabilize the situation in Feysac as quickly as possible.

Medici's thoughts raced as he looked towards Ouroboros.

"Orochi, where do you think the conflict would be best started?"

Ouroboros stared at the sand table on the ground. As a tacit partner who had fought together for more than a thousand years, Ouroboros understood what Medici meant: Although Feysac was on the verge of breaking out, it was impossible to start a war that would "swept the world", and it would also be very difficult to "achieve a certain victory" with such a country. And if Klein wanted to take over this land of faith, it would inevitably conflict with Medici's purpose. The "War Angel" hoped to find a better way.

The silver-haired angel gazed at the river of fate, guessing the subsequent development and trying to give his companions the best luck.

The current Feysac has a relationship with many gods. Even if Ouroboros tries his best, it is difficult to get relatively accurate information. Moreover, he is not sure whether the answer he gets is interfered by the outer gods. But one thing is certain, disaster will definitely happen there.

Now is indeed Medici's chance to re-enter the game, at least it seems to be the best chance for now.

It all depends on whether you take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted or miss it, whether you get stuck in Sequence 1 and wait for the enemies to eat you and others like a cookie or two, or wait for God to come and take them away, or whether you create your own wave in the present era.

Ouroboros did not speak. He could not get a definite answer and did not dare to jump to conclusion.

But He had seen the firm belief in war on Medici's face. Even though Feysac might not be a good choice or a good military position now, the Red Angel would grit his teeth and rush forward to fight this battle, even if he had no advantage in time, place, or people.

——This may not be just Medici's idea, because the other two conquerors also died due to conspiracy during their lifetime.

Edward spoke up:

"Actually, you can also use the Southern Continent."

"Didn't the God of Death just die? Without God, Balam will probably be coveted by the God of Thunder soon. By then, this fertile land will be taken away, and you won't even have to think about 'winning a certain victory'."

Medici shook his head slightly:
"It would be impossible for me to achieve a certain victory on my own. Isn't that why you came to me?"

"Now I'm really curious about one thing. You are willing to help me, but I can't be your ally in the future. What do you want to gain through me, or through what I'm about to do?"

“I did not participate in the previous battles, but now I want to seize other people’s spoils and use Feysac’s church and army. This is indeed very shameless. But if this is your strategy to sow discord, it is not necessarily a bit low-level.”

Would Klein care about Feysac? —— Medici himself was not sure.

Since the other party was forced to hide and was in a bad state, he should need an anchor, but it was impossible for Feysac to convert on a large scale without education.

If it really doesn't work, why don't you go discuss it with Klein first?
Just say that I'm working for him temporarily to stabilize Feysac, and that I came here temporarily to help for free because he was short of manpower? Hiss - Medici couldn't accept that Klein had suddenly gone from a junior to an existence that was almost on the same level as the Creator, and he felt a little jealous.

"Of course I have my own interests." Edward thought for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice. "But if you successfully become a red priest, and if the City of Disaster does not collapse again, you can try to help Ouroboros accommodate the uniqueness as a half-old."

"The other snake of fate, the speaker of the Council of Life, is in Loen with his uniqueness. Your uniqueness is also in Loen. Regardless of whether I am here to tempt you or not, you must seize the opportunity to fight. Otherwise, you can only wait for the God of Thunder to trample your remains under his feet."
