Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 34 The Price of Growth

For Alger, compared to the mysterious "Singer of God" Ace Snake, the Cardinal of the Church of the Lord of Storms in the Backlund Diocese, Yann Cotman, who has been managing the waters of the Rossde Archipelago for many years and has left many legends on the sea, is obviously more fascinating to him.

According to rumors, this Archbishop can cause earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis, which is exactly the same as what was just said in the "Wheel of Fortune".

"It seems that Mr. Courtman is also a demigod..."

Alger thought to himself, but soon he couldn't help but sigh silently:

"When will I, Alger Wilson, become a demigod?"

Audrey, Justice, struggled to shake off her surprise and continued:

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune', I have another question."

"Please go ahead." Roger responded with a smile in the gray fog.

"If one progresses down these specific... divine pathways, is a gender transition guaranteed to occur?"

"Generally speaking, yes, but there are some exceptions," Roger replied.

"What exception?"

"This knowledge is too profound, we will discuss it later."

Roger found an excuse to evade the issue. He didn't want to mention the high-sequence jump pathway at this stage.

On the one hand, he was afraid of saying too much at once and playing all the cards in his hand too early, and this might not be a good thing for Audrey and Alger.

On the other hand, he also had to leave some room for Klein to play.

Good employees should be good at performance and provide necessary value, but they should not steal all the boss's limelight.

Although Audrey was a little unsatisfied, she still responded politely:

"Thank you, Mr. Wheel of Fortune, but I have one last thing for you.

"Regarding the missing persons incident you mentioned earlier, I have secretly contacted some important people in Backlund through my channels and would like to hear their opinions.

"To my surprise, many of them had already received the news. There were even some people in parliament who wanted to use this incident as a leverage point to attack the cabinet and put pressure on them... but in the end they encountered inexplicable obstacles and failed."

Audrey's tone was a little low when she said this, and she seemed very disappointed:
"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, you were right last time... Perhaps to them, the lives of civilians are truly just cold numbers and tools of struggle."

The price of growth...

Roger sighed silently. He nodded at first, but then quickly shook his head and said comfortingly:

“It’s good to recognize reality, but we must believe that there are always good people in this world, and that not all officials and nobles are cold-blooded and heartless… For example, there are kind-hearted ladies like you.

“There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life.”

Audrey was stunned when she heard Roger's words.

She savored it over and over again, and her mood improved.

Yeah…Audrey, people like you exist!

Miss Justice bowed slightly to Roger: "Thank you, you are truly a wise man like Emperor Russell."

Is this another Russell quote...?

Roger's mouth twitched, and he continued:
“This matter can be left at this stage, and there is no need to go any further.

"But as I said last time, this matter involves the 'Witch Cult'.

"I pay close attention to them... so you can still observe any suspicious behavior from them based on your 'audience' and report it to me weekly. But remember not to 'guide' them; it's too dangerous for you."

After saying this, Roger looked up at Klein the Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, as if giving a hint. He then turned to Audrey and said, "This can be used as a reward for the knowledge I just imparted."

"Okay." Audrey replied briskly.

Seeing that the information transaction with "Wheel of Fortune" had ended, she turned to "The Hanged Man" Alger and began to inquire about the whereabouts of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

"Miss Justice, I don't know their whereabouts... Rather than pursuing the Psychological Alchemist Society, I think you should focus on digesting the Audience potion at this stage."

Alger replied.

"Of course, I asked this question simply because I hope to make some preparations as soon as possible... By the way, regarding the complete digestion of the potion, are there any criteria for judging?"

Audrey nodded and continued to ask.

Alger shook his head.

"To be honest, I've only just started using the 'acting method', so my previous experience might not be very helpful... According to those methods, it would take at least three years.

"But using the 'acting method', maybe it won't take that long..."

After saying this, he looked at the "Fool" on the bronze table and the "Wheel of Fortune" beside him.

“I know how to do this…”

Seeing that the Wheel of Fortune had no intention of speaking and was looking at him instead, Klein the Fool felt relieved.

He tapped lightly on the edge of the bronze table, an obvious response that caused both Justice and the Hanged Man to sit up straight and look at him.

"In the low sequence, as long as you play strictly, at least one month, at most half a year, you can completely digest it."

Upon hearing such an answer, Justice and The Hanged Man were visibly relieved, especially the former, who seemed to reveal his joy unconsciously.

Seeing that The Fool had fallen silent again, The Hanged Man took the initiative to speak:

"I heard that for some unknown reason, many of the Aurora Society's 'Listeners' have recently fallen into a collective panic.

"They are trying to find the location of the 'True Creator', which is what the Aurora Society calls the 'Sanctuary'."

"The true creator? What is that?" Audrey asked doubtfully.

Miss Justice, you're asking the wrong person... The core member of the Aurora Society next to Mr. Hanged Man is the expert on this matter...

Klein looked at Roger, who remained motionless, and silently complained.

Mr. Hanged Man tried to use his own experiences to describe the various images and legends of the "True Creator" circulating in the Beyonder circle, but he heard Mr. Fool chuckle.

Alger and Audrey immediately looked towards the bronze table in awe, even the previously calm Wheel of Fortune did the same.

"I prefer to call Him the Fallen Creator..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was set, Klein suddenly had an idea and answered.

This mysterious and almost egalitarian tone immediately caused The Hanged Man to savor it again and again, and his heart was in turmoil.

In the Tarot Club, there is not only Mr. Fool who is as powerful as a god, but also Mr. Wheel of Fortune who knows many secrets.

The knowledge gained here is a wealth that is unimaginable to the extraordinary people in the outside world.

He felt terrified but also relieved.

"Being chosen by Mr. Fool is perhaps truly a blessing beyond the imagination of ordinary people..."
