Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 272 Fowles's Novel
As she spoke, Xing casually waved her hand, and a scepter appeared in her hand.

The top of the scepter was inlaid with blue-green "gems," and it was surrounded by countless holy points of light.

More importantly, it exudes a divine aura, a near-tangible aura of the sea and storms.

The members of the Tarot Club were all amazed. Among them, Klein was the most shocked and even terrified.

Hey sis, aren't you a spirit right now?
How did you manage to pull this thing out?

Alger took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

So the new sea goddess is none other than the Empress. In some situations, I can openly and honestly pray as a 'sea goddess' devotee... I wonder just how powerful the Empress truly is. Even if she's only at the demigod level, she can provide immense protection at sea.

At that moment, he remembered Mr. Devil's teachings.

The strong have no need to hide their joy, and neither do the weak who have powerful backers.

He no longer forced himself to control his expression and smiled.

Laugh when you want to laugh; your previous nagging was what made people even more disliked.

Audrey, who felt the strongest sense of belonging in the entire Tarot community, was equally delighted.

That "sea god" was actually the Empress! That's wonderful! From now on, if I travel at sea, I can simply pray to the "sea god" and receive a response!
"Justice" Audrey was surprised, delighted, and proud.

As far as she knew, within the major churches, those who could receive divine responses through prayer alone, without performing any fixed rituals or magic, were either long-time priests who encountered them by chance, or a select few favored by God that could be counted on one hand.

Although the Empress's daughter certainly cannot compare to a real god, it is still inspiring enough.

At this moment, Klein finally confirmed his suspicions.

Indeed, besides Serres, it's all about stars. Klein really couldn't imagine anyone else being so abstract.

As expected. Cattleya nodded to herself, confirming her earlier guess.

Her guess was correct; although the imperial lady seemed very innocent, she was actually a demigod.

If she remembered correctly, the sea god Kavituwa seemed to be a Sequence 3 sea king.

A half-mad Sequence 3...

Hermit Gadriya instinctively turned her head and looked at the head of the bronze table, at the Fool shrouded in gray mist, and then at the Demon across the bronze table.

With a great being intervening, it's not unimaginable that a follower below could easily kill a Sequence 3.

Regardless of the original level of the Empress's strength, now that she has replaced the Sea God, she is at least not much weaker than a typical Sequence 3.

Cattleya closed her eyes slightly.

This was a true divine council, more terrifying than any extraordinary gathering she had ever attended, whether secret or public.

This made Cattleya think more and more, and she felt that the Tarot was so profound that it was unfathomable, just like the Fool's figure now shrouded in thick gray fog.

The clearer one sees things, the more confused, terrified, and fearful one becomes.

While not everyone possesses such strength, at least the top few, led by Mr. Fool, are no less capable than the Church of the True God.

Wait, the Church of the True God?
Cattleya suddenly opened her eyes.

The Fool... the Master of Fools...

She was about to ask something when her words were interrupted by a round of applause.

Applause broke out. It was Serres who led the applause.

Children need more encouragement; that way, they'll be more interested in tearing things apart.

Alger followed closely behind, then the others. Finally, there was Emlyn the Moon, clearly a step behind.

When Xing mentioned this during the tarot reading, he was clearly showing off, and since he was showing off, he naturally wanted to maximize the emotional value of the conversation.

As the applause subsided, Xing returned to her seat.

Cattleya carefully considered her words before asking the question.

"Respected Fool, do you know the Church of Pleasure and the Lord of Fools?"

Klein smiled and nodded: "This is me." Cattleya completely relaxed.

So it turns out this is an organization of the Church of the True God.

You are really scaring yourself.

Otto then spoke up: "Your Majesty, if necessary, may we recite your name and pray to you?"

“Of course, no problem.” Xing nodded first, then paused, surprised.

She then realized that she had not yet determined her given name.

But this didn't stump her.

She picked up the scepter and began editing the information about the honorific name.

It's very simple. Just open the chat window that appears out of nowhere, and follow the system instructions to enter your desired name in the "Name" field.

"Then my honorable name is:"

"A trash can that doesn't belong to this era."

"The mysterious ruler atop the garbage dump."

"The king of waste, who controls all the scrap."

Emlyn couldn't help but scratch his head.

Why does this name sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before?
Audrey's smile looked unnatural for a moment.

"Your Highness, if we directly recite the original name of the Sea God, can we contact you?"

Xing glanced down at the scepter.

"No, the original name has been changed. To change it back, you'll need to spend 60 Star Qiong to buy a name change card."

It's a huge loss.

After chatting for a while, Fowles sensed that Mr. World seemed to be in a pretty good mood today.

It was unusual for her to speak up at the meeting.

She mimicked the gesture of the righteous Audrey, carefully raising her hand: "Mr. World..."

Hmm? Miss Magician rarely initiates conversations. Has something happened? Klein wondered as he turned the dummy world's head.

"Speak," the world said in a low, hoarse voice.

“Um…that…” Fowles stammered.

"I... I recently found a book... I... I feel like the main character looks a bit like you..."

"Did Fowles write this himself?" Audrey thought for a moment. "Not necessarily. She's a writer; she must have her own circle of writers. It's not impossible for her to accidentally obtain a book."

Klein was also curious. He controlled the world to tilt its head slightly and asked simply, "What book?"

Fowles suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, but she still mustered the courage to ask Mr. Fool for permission. Then, she conjured a small booklet that didn't look too thick in her hand.

She originally planned to secretly show it to Mr. World through a "one-on-one" conversation.

But the system just gave her a hint.

[Tip 1: Make sure all members of the Tarot Club see this.]

[Tip 2: Since there's no penalty, you can just give up if you really don't want to.]

This second suggestion really made Fowles consider whether or not to give up.

But the thought that it was a life-saving item...

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and stood the book cover upright, displaying it to all the members of the Tarot Club.

The Untold Stories of the Five Seas Wild Roses and Three Pirate Generals.
