Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 261 Moon City and Silver City Connect
The newly established Silver City grew stronger day by day, and they were now unstoppable in the land forsaken by the gods.

Neither natural disasters, darkness, nor the monsters now known as aliens can stop them.

In the name of "The Fools," their voices resounded throughout the entire city of Silver as they launched a great expedition to the east.

The warriors of Silver City knocked on every corner, smashed through every rubble, and asked again and again, "My dear wet soldiers, where are you all?"

In the darkness, a small group of intelligent monsters proclaimed their presence.

"Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't answer!"

Soon, a group from Silver City found a city-state where people were still alive in front of a barrier.

Moon City.

Most of the Moon City people have physical deformities, and their leader is a small red potato, at least that's what the warriors see. After all, that square, unknown life form, whether it's a mutant or not, is just too short.

She only reached a soldier's knee.

For some reason, the leader of the exploration team suddenly came up with a strange nickname for the leader of Tsukishiro named Gudako after seeing her.

Red Eugenie

But he didn't say it aloud because he thought it was impolite to give others nicknames.

"Huh? Isn't this all a mess? It's not like what's written in the book." Gudako exclaimed after listening to the explorers' account.

Is this not what they call the Masked Fool? He's turned Silver City into a human empire.

Does that mean we should drag Mr. Fool over and make him sit on the golden toilet?

"Is any of you named Derrick?" Gudako asked.

Several members of the exploration team whispered among themselves.

"Does she know Little Sun?"

"Also a member of that Tarot club?"

Gudako blinked.

The Tarot Club... does the whole of Silver City know about it now?
After a period of friendly conversation, Gudako decided to follow the group to Silver Castle.

A trading system will also be established between Silver City and Moon City.

The leader of the Silver City exploration team then suggested that Moon City merge with Silver City and move to Silver City, where a steel forest had already been built, to live a better life.

However, the High Priest of Moon City politely declined.

They, the Moon City, were to remain where they were, guarding the seal behind them. This was the mission left to them by the Lord.

They have persevered for over two thousand years, and they will continue to do so in the future.

…………

Two or three minutes later, Cordova Royer, the perpetually late captain of the Punishers, arrived hastily with some of the little pigeons and saw the corpse of "Iron" Maiviti.

He lay down on the ground, his eyes open, looking up at the sky.

If he were a character created by an author, then that author would be absolutely incompetent. Because Maiviti, as he stands, is not "fully developed" at all.

He was emaciated, his skin almost touching his bones.

Its body was covered with pale, withered flowers that the punishers couldn't name.

Three tarot cards were scattered around him.

The Fool, the World, and a Wheel of Fortune. The punishers looked at each other for a few seconds, and having lost track of their target, they had no choice but to silently leave with the corpse of "Steel" and the tarot cards on the scene.

After glancing at the team members inspecting the scene, Deacon Cordoba composed himself and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who did this?"

This is the most important issue for him and for the parish.

The "Punisher" team members, who are responsible for finding clues and using supernatural means to restore the truth, are not extraordinary individuals of the "Storm" pathway, but rather Sequence 7 "Keepers" corresponding to the "Readers," which are "Detectives."

He didn't rush to answer, but walked over and showed the back of the tarot cards he had put away to Cordoba: "Captain, look."

On the back of the Fool's card was a sentence written in Maivitti's own blood.

"Tarot will claim responsibility for this."

Cordoba took the tarot cards and looked at them silently for a few seconds.

"Tarot Club... Have you heard of this organization?"

"It seems to be an organization that appeared in the Kingdom of Rune some time ago. People there speculate that there is at least one demigod in this organization," the detective replied.

“A demigod…” Cordova gestured to one of the Punishers beside him, “Go tell Lord Neptune. This is no longer something we can completely control.”

The detective had already crouched down to examine Maiviti's body.

After a while, he looked up and said, "The disease... but it's most likely not caused by the witch."

“Reason?” Cordova asked, frowning.

The detective replied, "There's no evil emanating from the depths of flesh here, and besides, if it were done by a witch, then his corpse should..."

The detective held up one finger.

Cordoba thought for a few seconds, nodded to indicate that he understood, and agreed with the assessment.

It's best not to be too obvious, especially since there were women present. While women in the Storm Church generally have a lower social status, they have even less respect for dirty jokes.

The female substitute punishment officer next to her curled her lip in disdain and scoffed.

Cordova then asked, "So, what do you guess is the route?"

“A demon, a prisoner,” the detective said calmly, glancing again at the shriveled corpse and the withered plants growing on it, “or perhaps a vampire or a farmer.”

So which one do you prefer?

The detective stood up: "Anything is possible."

"Aren't there any suspects?" Cordova asked in a deep voice.

The detective shook his head: "No target for now. But Huntley has extensive burns and carbonization all over his body. Based on the scene, it's likely that Flame Danitz killed him. The other person is his accomplice, a rather formidable strongman, no less powerful than the pirate generals."

Cordova nodded solemnly, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Could it be Edwina? She can simulate some of the extraordinary abilities I've seen."

The detective pondered for a moment and said, "We can't rule out that possibility, but intelligence shows that she was near Sonia Island a few days ago, unless... unless she can simulate the corresponding ability and travel over through the spirit world, or obtain the seal artifact of the apprentice path."

After saying that, he shrugged: "You know, the seals from the apprentice path are indeed a relatively common type."

Cordoba paced back and forth a few steps, looked around, and said, "Clean up the scene, but don't disturb the nearby residents."

"Michael went to see Lord Neptune. I will submit the mission report along with it, hoping to obtain more effective intelligence."

This involved a powerful individual with combat strength at least equal to Sequence 5 and an organization that might be involved in Sequence 4, forcing him to suppress his rage and make the most rational decision.

This was actually quite humiliating for him.
