Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 562 Chapter 140 Political Class

"...Ah?" Fors was confused.

She never expected that the "biography" would be such a "biography". When she originally proposed this matter, she only planned to listen to a few stories. As for whether it would be written or not... don't ask, the answer is that it has not been finished yet.

——How can a book be finished without a set deadline? !
But the significance of the Holy Scripture was obviously different. Fors was sure that if she didn't finish it quickly and put it off until Miss Fate got anxious for some unknown reason, she would be doomed.

And she didn't know when Miss Fate would suddenly get anxious...

Alice's expectant eyes had not yet been withdrawn, and Fors could only organize her words with difficulty:
"Ms. Destiny, I, I actually don't have any experience in this area, and, and... Miss Destiny, you probably don't have... Uh, actually, I'm better at writing stories related to emotions..."

Oh, romance novels.

Alice nodded thoughtfully. She glanced at Klein and said:

"Forget it then. Although this is not what I am good at, I usually don't write for myself. I usually..."

She glanced at Klein again.

Now she didn't need to say anything, everyone understood. Magician Fors took a deep breath, and Justice Audrey even remembered what Alice said about gossiping with Mr. Fool.

Given Miss Destiny's personality, she would definitely not finish writing without showing it to others, but she probably wouldn't dare to show it to anyone other than Mr. Fool, so...

The gossip you mentioned actually refers to gossip about Himself? !

Well, no wonder Mr. Fool doesn't like to chat with you...

This was so scary that Audrey decided to change the subject:
"Mr. 'Hanged Man', I suspected before that the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' might be able to guide the nobles who really have real power..."

Alice raised her hand to interrupt her.

"No need," she told Audrey, "With the Seven Gods and Adam here, the Psychological Alchemy Society has no say on how the world situation changes."

Audrey was slightly stunned, and Alice continued in her confused eyes:
"If it was any other organization, it would be fine, but the Psychological Alchemy Society, an organization made up of 'audiences'... Ha, do you think that the Angel King of the 'audience' path is just there to eat for nothing?
“He is only one step away from becoming a god. Even if the Psychological Alchemy Society was not created under His instruction, it is no different from the organizations He created… No, it should be said that an organization without a true god and without the protection of the Angel King is just a toy in the eyes of beings of this level.

"Even if there are, grassroots organization members are nothing but toys, it's just that the decisions of the top leaders cannot be interfered with."

Audrey was obviously hearing about such a thing for the first time, and her eyes were filled with horror, but Alice did not continue talking - besides, she would have to explain Adam's ritual, and even if there was the "Source Castle" blocking her, she did not want to do such an offensive thing.

She was so arrogant because Adam was magnanimous. Adam didn't care. Things like destroying the deification ceremony were nothing compared to those petty fights!
As for whether just saying it out loud would ruin the problem...that was Adam's business, Alice didn't intend to experiment on her own.

But "Justice" Audrey was far more afraid than Alice thought. She grew up under the glory of the Seven Gods and had a natural filter for the Seven Gods, especially the Goddess of Night whom she believed in.

Even though she had repeatedly heard blasphemous facts and remarks at the Tarot Club, these things did not destroy this filter. Audrey still felt from the bottom of her heart that the church was the good person in her past impressions.

But Alice's words clearly pierced through this hypocritical mask. She realized that the Church of the Seven Gods was no different from other organizations in some ways. Like other organizations, they would use their extraordinary abilities to influence and manipulate the behavior of the truly powerful nobles.

This……

Audrey couldn't accept this fact. She had made such speculations in private, but she didn't dare to think about it at the time and destroyed all traces in time. But now, this fact has been revealed again!
The Hanged Man, Alger, probably couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he sneered and said:

"Isn't this a very normal thing? Living in human society, one must accept certain levels of monitoring, control and guidance.

"I understand what you are afraid of, but think about it, what is the essential difference between controlling and guiding with power, status, money and guns, and similar actions with extraordinary abilities?
"The difference is that one knows he doesn't want to do it but has to do it, while the other doesn't even have the thought of not wanting to do it."

Audrey nodded immediately and said, "Yes, this means losing the freedom of the soul and mind. This is the most terrifying thing."

Alice interrupted:

“I’ve heard similar views.

"A long time ago, I read a book in which a character held this view. He believed that faith suppressed human nature and desires, and that a person could only possess two of humanity, wisdom and faith at the same time."

Audrey knew there was a twist as soon as she heard it, so she asked, "What happened next?"

Alice blinked and answered her question: "He converted to a god who advocated the liberation of one's desires."

Audrey stopped talking. She suddenly didn't know what to say. This sounded both reasonable and ridiculous, full of Miss Destiny's unique style.

The Hanged Man Alger couldn't help but laugh. He continued Alice's words:

"Look, is there an absolutely free soul or mind? Once you choose a belief or an idea, you will naturally be bound by it.

"However, judging from the current situation in Loen, the three major churches and the royal family have reached a balance to a certain extent. If a church does something too much to its believers, the believers can achieve their goals by changing their beliefs, just like the one Miss Destiny mentioned.

"So, in most cases, the church prefers to guide important believers through religious status and close beliefs rather than extraordinary abilities."

Alice glanced at Alger and resisted the urge to ask him whether a certain church was in conflict with the Church of Storms. She asked Audrey curiously:

"Don't noble ladies learn about this in their political classes? What is checks and balances... I remember there was a theory I learned at the time called something? Separation of powers?"

Audrey opened her mouth and closed it again. She felt that her understanding of the world had suddenly become deeper. More importantly, she understood some things that she had come into contact with but could not understand before, such as "checks and balances."

"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Hanged Man, and thank you for your enlightenment, Miss Fate..." Audrey said with mixed feelings, "But what is the separation of powers?"

"...You really haven't learned it?" Alice blinked. Audrey didn't say anything, but her expression had already revealed the answer. After a moment of silence, Alice turned to the "world" and asked:
"Can you recite it?"

“I can’t memorize it,” Klein said frankly as he manipulated the “world”. “But I still remember the general idea.”

He paused, and then began to introduce the theory of separation of powers to this group of people who had never taken junior high school politics:
"This is a system that was created to check the power of the monarchy. In this view, power is divided into legislative power, executive power, and judicial power. The three kinds of state power are held by different organs, each exercising independently and checking and balancing each other. This is the separation of powers."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Audrey asked in confusion: "...Restricting the royal power?"

Klein didn't say anything else. He looked at Alice, who held her forehead and said:

"I almost forgot. If you really count it this way, you still have 'divine right of kings'. We should have a Renaissance first and promote the idea that humans are more important than gods... But unfortunately, we really do have gods, and gods are indeed much more important than humans."

Alice's words made the Tarot Club members look at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't tell what they were thinking at the moment, but most of them understood Miss Fate's attitude when she mentioned the gods.

——She probably received an education that was completely contrary to religion.

This is bizarre to everyone. After all, they cannot understand why this kind of education exists. Such ideas are obviously not conducive to the transmission of religion and the spread of faith. The gods should not allow such education to exist.

But Miss Destiny... Isn't this some kind of universal education? After all, although Miss Destiny loves to define herself as a person, everyone knows that she is not...

While everyone was thinking, Audrey asked the Hanged Man Alger:
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', how should I deal with Hvin Rambis?"

The Hanged Man Alger said calmly:

"His problem is not urgent. You are fully capable of dealing with him, providing less important intelligence, keeping the core secrets, and looking for opportunities to obtain potion formulas or even extraordinary materials.

"Wait for a while, and when there are corresponding changes, then consider changing the strategy. Of course, we can't be careless. Duke Negan is a wrong example."

As soon as he finished speaking, World Gehrman Sparrow looked at Miss Justice and laughed hoarsely:

"By that time, even if Hvin Rambis is dead, no one will suspect you."

Even if Hvin Rambis is dead...dead...he is a demigod...Mr. World wants to attack Hvin Rambis? Audrey's eyes widened slightly when she heard this, and her heart was in turmoil.

At a certain moment, Audrey's uneasy heart was filled with confidence. She realized that even without considering the existence of Mr. Fool, she knew two demigods, one of whom was an angel.

The most important thing is, these two are the type who are willing to accept commissions... Well, for one, Mr. World seems to be very short of money, and he won't refuse anything as long as he is free and the price is right, as for Miss Destiny... she is more dependent on her mood.

"I know what to do now. Thank you." Audrey took a deep breath and thanked them politely.

Klein is speaking in a rather arrogant tone now... Leonard the Star glanced at Gehrman Sparrow the World with complicated eyes. Alice saw his expression and suddenly asked:

"Do you still feel that you are the protagonist of the times?"

Emlyn White, the savior of the blood clan, cast a look at his colleague.

Leonard smiled awkwardly. He tried his best to ignore the inquiring looks from others and pleaded with Alice in a somewhat powerless manner:

"Should we not bring up this kind of thing again?"

Alice shrugged, but didn't hold on to it. The other members of the Tarot Club tried to guess what Alice was talking about while looking away without leaving a trace. Only Emlyn, the "Moon", had an inexplicable realization:
I see. He must have thought he was the hero of the times! Later, after meeting Miss Destiny, something must have happened to him, and this view was shattered... Did he join the Tarot Club?

This is normal. After all, all members of our Tarot Club are here to save the world, especially me. I am the savior of the vampires!
Thinking of this, Emlyn straightened his chest unconsciously.

Klein glanced at the two men with a strange look, feeling quite silent.

As one of the only two people who knew about this Tarot meeting, he knew what Alice meant by "the protagonist of the era" and also knew what Emlyn was so proud of.

It was precisely because of this that he felt indescribably speechless, and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart:
Aren't you two ashamed of yourself? Alice and little "Sun" are more mature than you!
In order to divert attention, Klein manipulated the "world" Gehrman Sparrow to say to the "hermit" Cattleya:
"Please tell the 'Mysterious Queen' that I hope to meet her soon to discuss some things. The specific time and place will be determined by her."

This is something he has wanted to do for a long time.

Although Alice suppressed most of the discussion about the red moon on the grounds that "only angels would know", they still made some guesses about Roselle's current situation. For example, now they all suspected that Roselle was not actually dead, and that the assassination was a self-directed assassination, and Roselle himself... According to Alice, he might be having a baby.

This was probably nonsense to some extent. Klein understood that Roselle might be trapped for some reason. After all, they were from the same hometown, and Klein decided to pay attention to Roselle's current situation while he had the energy to spare.

As for saving... we'll talk about it when the time comes. If we can save him, then save him. If we can't, then forget it.

Cattleya, the Hermit, didn’t understand what Klein wanted to do. In fact, Alice didn’t understand either. She asked Klein:
"If you have something for her, why don't you write to her?"

“It’s not urgent,” Klein shook his head. “And I might call you when the time comes… Is that okay?”

"Okay," Alice nodded, "then ask."

The second half of the sentence was said while looking at the "Hermit" Cattleya. Even though she was confused, Cattleya knew that she had no room to refuse. She nodded and said:

"I'll help you convey it, but I can't guarantee whether she will agree."

"Yeah." The World simply nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
