Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 354 Hall of Honesty
The one-eyed giant lowered his head and swooped down on Audrey, who had her back to him.

Klein had seen Grosser and knew that normal Titans didn't look like this. He guessed that this was probably not a "dream" left behind by a Titan, but more like the residual delusions of other humans after their mental breakdown upon seeing a demigod-level Titan.

He had just raised his hand, intending to finish off the giant, when Derrick stepped forward and blocked his way.

Since becoming the captain of an expedition team, Derrick, the "unsinkable giant ship," has gotten used to always standing at the front of the team.

He seemed to have forgotten that his main role was actually a support and mage.

But so what?
If a secondary profession is two levels higher than a primary profession, then which one is the primary profession?

Derrick raised his right hand, and an amber-colored axe appeared in his hand. At the same time, a patch of scorching sunlight appeared on the axe blade.

He had grown taller, and his muscles were bulging and his features were well-defined.

He swung his arm and hurled the axe with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

With a tremendous whooshing sound, the axe, gleaming with sunlight and amber light, flew straight out and struck the Cyclops' eye.

At the same time, above the ocean of the collective unconscious, in the sea that hangs upside down in the sky, a pure ray of sunlight shines down and illuminates the spot where the axe struck.

The one-eyed giant immediately stiffened, his body cracking and emitting black smoke as if charred.

boom.

The axe exploded, shattering the Cyclops's head into pieces.

Upon seeing this, Klein, Audrey, and the others who had originally intended to intervene withdrew their hands.

Alger remained silent.

He remembered that when Little Sun first joined the Tarot Club, he was just an ordinary person who didn't even have any magic potions.

Now it can instantly kill demigod-level "projections".

"Uh, this is... storage protection?" Fors asked the system in his mind, not quite sure. "I remember Mr. Sun's Singer plus storage protection."

Could she have made a mistake, and the person in front of her was not Mr. Sun, who followed the path of preservation, but Mr. Hanged Man, who followed the path of destruction?

[Of course, this is the legitimate and legitimate preservation of resources. Do you know the story of how the preservation of resources star god once smashed another star god into dust with three hammer blows?]

"Huh? Really?" Of course, Fowles didn't know.

[Of course it's true. If I had to explain, it's a very complicated story. I can't say much more, but I can tell you that the one who was killed was the "Star God of Procreation."]

“Reproduction? Oh, so…” Fors’s mind raced, his thoughts as a novelist quickly spreading out.

Hey, I didn't say anything, you guessed it yourself.

“Of course, of course, I understand, I understand.” Fowles felt he had grasped everything.

I have explained the truth of the world.

"So who is this Star God's partner? Is it Chunmei?" Fors hid at the back of the group, secretly communicating with the system in his mind.

Hmm... well, it's hard to say. But the first time the Guardian Star God was violated was by the Pioneer Star God, Archivist.

"Wow, this is so exciting!"

"Is this what a demigod is? The oppressive feeling it gives me is not as strong as that of a pregnant woman I once met." Leonard said, stroking his chin. "As for strong emotions, I believe even a Sequence 8 fraudster is probably stronger than it."

"Was she a pregnant demigod?" Audrey asked with some curiosity.

"Is she the wife you seduced and then abandoned?" Fowles asked curiously.

“Uh, no, neither.” Leonard shook his head, surprised by the magician’s vivid imagination. “But she is carrying the child of an evil god.”

"Oh, so it's just the offspring of an evil god." Fors was somewhat disappointed.

An evil god? This gentleman in the red gloves is no ordinary person either. Audrey nodded thoughtfully.

Leonard originally wanted to show off, but the members of the Tarot Club didn't seem to take the "offspring of an evil god" seriously.

A mere grain of sand is not even half as much as Mr. Fool.

"So, where should we go next?" Alicia quietly slipped from Audrey's side and moved behind Gadriya.

“I can’t tell you that,” Gadriya shook her head.

She thought Alicia just wanted to ask the "secret seeker" for divination advice and didn't think too much about it.

After all, Alicia's sexual orientation was still too advanced for these innocent young girls.

Alicia leaned closer naturally: "You can give it a try." "Let's ask Mr. Devil and Mr. World," Cattleya replied seriously.

Since she didn't sense any malice, Cattleya's spirit didn't react much.

"Your glasses are crooked." Alicia straightened Gadriya's glasses, seemingly very seriously. "This is a world imagined by the Imaginary Dragon. It wouldn't be good if your voyeuristic eyes saw something you shouldn't. Be careful."

Caldelia was slightly taken aback, feeling a long-lost sense of being cared for, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "Thank you."

Not far away, the knowledgeable and experienced Otto gently stroked his chin, transforming himself into "the all-knowing man".

That's right, that's it, that's perfect.

"Just follow me." Klein took out a gold coin and pretended to perform a divination.

The gold coin tumbled in the air, and he grabbed it. Without looking at the result, he determined the direction and started walking.

He already knew the exact location.

The boundary anchoring is indicated on the minimap.

As Leonard watched Klein's divination, a memory surfaced. It was the first case he and Klein had worked on together.

Searching for the kidnapped child.

Back then, it was Klein who led the way using "divination," and he followed beside him. Compared to his initial awkwardness, he was now as skilled as ever.

It has been more than ten years since they entered the mysterious world.

Sigh, it's only been a little over a year... Leonard, with his hands clasped behind him and a touch of emotion in his eyes, followed closely behind Klein, reminiscing about the past with tears still wet on his face.

Audrey glanced at Leonard, who was reminiscing about the past, and noticed the change in his emotions.

Why did it suddenly start flashing like a carousel?

"Hmm? Where did the Empress go?" Emlyn suddenly asked.

Suddenly, everyone realized that Xing was missing.

"She's probably off opening some treasure chest somewhere. Don't worry about her, she'll come back when the main plot gets going," Serres replied, waving his hand.

Isn't it common sense that the storyline suddenly shifts to a map exploration halfway through?
Guided by the map, Klein led the way smoothly, bypassing all the monster spawn points and avoiding the "Giant Phantom" mark he had encountered before.

Sometimes they walked straight, sometimes they turned corners; at first, the path was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass. After an unknown amount of time, they walked several dozen steps further, and suddenly the space before them opened up.

What appeared before them was a "giant deep-sea crater," with a city the size of an island in the center of the crater.

"Look, it's Bikini Bottom." Star inexplicably appeared.

The city's foundation is grayish-white, upon which stand magnificent stone pillars, some tens or even hundreds of meters high. They stand alone or together support towering, ancient palaces. The whole structure is both strange and grand, unlike anything that ordinary creatures could build.

Although Audrey didn't recognize the city, an idea instantly popped into her mind:
"Livihide, the City of Miracles".

This is a name engraved in the subconscious of all living beings.

Serres nodded and pointed to a massive palace over two hundred meters high deep inside:
“That’s right, that’s the residence of ‘Dragon of Imagination’ Angelweid.”

"It's a bit far." Leonard put his hand in front of his eyes.

"Actually, we can skip the map exploration."

Serres snapped his fingers.

The next second, space distorted, and everyone appeared at the entrance of a huge palace.

“Hmm, Mr. Devil, you seem a little too eager,” Audrey said somewhat uncertainly.

“After traveling for so long, it would be nice to relax and rest in the palace,” Serres replied.

In front of the magnificent palace, which is gray and white in color and more than two hundred meters high, stand several thick stone pillars that are shorter than itself.

It resembled a rank and file of beige guards. In the language of the dragons of the Second Age, these were called "Beige Guards."

Serres led everyone into the palace hall with great interest, and Paddo the cat also crawled out of Klein's pocket and climbed onto Klein's head.

As you can see, on both sides of this hall, there are brightly colored murals that extend forward and converge behind a massive half-column that would take countless people to encircle.

The colossal pillar stood at the deepest part of the hall, directly in front of it. Without relying on any external objects, it alone could evoke a strong sense of awe and allow one to feel the vicissitudes of time, like a petrified deity.

"Yay, it's my favorite Honesty Hall instance!" Padmon's voice suddenly rang out in the hall, echoing throughout the entire hall.
