Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 547 The Fool's Church's Reputation Is Being Damaged?
Perhaps because the "Tarot Club market" has reached saturation, there have been very few transactions at these recent Tarot Clubs.

The transaction process quickly concluded, and the Tarot session transitioned into a free discussion phase.

"I've been promoted to Sequence Four." The honest Derrick reported his promotion progress as usual.

He was probably the only one who would report every promotion at the Tarot meeting. So no one asked questions like, "Which path did you advance through?" Everyone knew it was through the "Passionate Guardian" path, Sequence Four.

Now, Derrick has officially embarked on the path of "preservation," which allows for the preservation of emotions, mind, and soul, and provides subtle guidance on the level of destiny, increasing the probability of certain events occurring.

It can materialize conceptual things, using them as building materials or directly as weapons.

And it possessed its own mythical creature form.

It was a massive mountain that could change shape, grow larger or smaller, and was enveloped in a heavy aura.

Unlike the normal extraordinary path, those with extraordinary destiny do not need to worry about losing control, being devoured by the mental residue within the potion, or losing control.

As a purely idealistic power system, being devoured by the spirit of mythical creatures only makes them more insane and stronger. The stronger they become, the more resilient their spirit will naturally be, and the more rational they will be able to remain in the form of mythical creatures.

It's commonly known as stepping on your right foot with your left foot and going to heaven.

In other words, all those with extraordinary destinies are beings who can activate their mythical creature form within four seconds of Sequence Four and maintain their sanity.

However, it also has negative effects.

"You should have sensed it by now, right?" World Klein asked calmly. "After advancing to Sequence Four, you can no longer play the role of digestive potion."

“Yes,” Derrick nodded. “I now occasionally learn from the Chief about how to practice [preservation].

Seeing that Derrick had understood the future advancement method of the Destiny Potion, Klein nodded and said nothing more.

Derrick continued his report.

“Since we received the land from Mr. Rosell, we have established three cities. These three cities are quite large, as they are the result of merging the several cities that Mr. Rosell had previously given us.”

“‘The City of Glory’ Pandis, ‘The City of Progress’ Ackerman, ‘The City of Joy’ Livia…” Derrick frowned as he said this.

This guardian demigod, who was once a "dream architect" and is now a "passionate guardian," seemed to have sensed that something was amiss.

But his brow quickly relaxed again: "Sorry, I misspoke. It's not three, it's four."

Derrick corrected his previous slip of the tongue.

“There is also a ‘City of Hope’, Utopia.”

Audrey wrinkled her nose almost imperceptibly and said to Derrick, "Was this city called Utopia also founded by Silver City?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Derrick asked, puzzled.

Audrey said in a slightly off tone, "Well... how should I put it?"

“You’ve probably heard some bad rumors lately,” Audrey asked everyone at the tarot meeting.

Seeing that the other members either nodded or looked puzzled, Audrey continued speaking.

"Starting a few months ago, I've occasionally heard some unpleasant comments."

For example: 'The Church of Fools appeared out of nowhere,' 'The Church of Fools is too inexperienced to be associated with the Church of True God,' 'The Church of Fools is forming cliques,'...

"In short, it was a series of comments that made people uncomfortable."

The other members of the Tarot Club nodded in agreement. They had also heard about these rumors.

Especially Ammon, who often stirred up trouble among them.

Audrey continued, "There have been more and more of these kinds of comments lately, especially after the vision ended a few days ago."

A few days ago, a red moon, a tall tower, a huge golden sun, and a large-scale storm appeared in the sky one after another.

After that, the entire Church of Storms, Church of Eternal Sun, and Church of Knowledge and Wisdom experienced considerable turmoil.

"If we push the timeline back a little further..."

"The Church of the Night and the Church of the Earth participated in the war of gods. The Church of Steam and Machinery changed its name to the Church of Technology and underwent a major transformation. The Church of Eternal Sun, the Church of Storm, and the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom were in turmoil, and the Church of the God of War was directly destroyed."

"This has led to a recent popular claim that all of this is a conspiracy by the Church of Fools."

“So we’re this powerful…” Xing stroked his chin. “I’m going to declare war on the other churches right now…”

Audrey was already used to Xing's antics and simply ignored it, saying, "According to my investigation, some of these remarks originated from 'Utopia'."

"Especially the few that have appeared recently."

"What?" Derrick couldn't help but widen his eyes, then quickly explained.

“That’s impossible,” Derrick said firmly. “In our Silver City, even those who don’t believe in Mr. Fool hold him in awe and respect. It’s impossible for them to do such a thing.”

"Could there be bad people among the crowd?" Fowles asked.

“This…” Derrick was speechless for a moment.

“You’ve built such a large city, it’s not incomprehensible that some troublemakers have infiltrated it,” Hugh added. “Besides, civilians are the easiest to incite.”

“I see…” Derrick’s tone became somewhat dejected.

He never imagined that such a situation would occur in their Silver City branch city.

“Ha.” Leonard chuckled. “I didn’t expect that someone would try to smear the Fool’s Church and just happen to choose a city directly under the Fool’s Church’s control as their base.”

"In a sense, this can be considered as walking into a trap."

Everyone looked toward Gehrman Sparrow, who was at the very bottom of the long table.

This is the Tarot Club's recognized henchman.

World Fresh Produce.

But World Goremann simply smiled and adjusted his top hat.

"I would never kill someone because of some bad comments."

"This is their freedom of speech."
