Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 159: Let’s talk about Mr. Fool’s childhood story

Around 2:40 p.m. on Monday.

Klein sent a message to Ceres.

Want to make a lot of money: "The Tarot Club is coming up soon. Tell your friend to stop acting crazy when she gets there."

Want to make a lot of money: "Something like Spear of Discord, something like Nicardori."

Soon, Serris replied to the message.

Prince Sow: "Just be thankful, at least these names sound classy. She's already doing me a favor by not calling herself the King of the Trash Can."

Want to make a lot of money: "Then I have to thank you."

Prince Sow: "You're welcome."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, rays of light rose from the palace that looked like a giant's residence, and Zhengyi and others projected blurry figures with a faint red tinge.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. This afternoon..." Class representative Audrey was about to greet every member of the Tarot Club as usual when her eyes suddenly caught sight of two figures sitting next to Miss Wheel of Fortune and at the end of the long table.

Even through the gray fog, some of the two people's features can still be seen.

One was a tall woman with gray hair, the other a stranger in a hooded black robe, both of them equally unreal and hazy.

Audrey was a little confused and a little happy, feeling that the Tarot Club was becoming more and more powerful.

Before Xing could speak, Klein introduced them to each other.

"This is Miss Emperor, and this is Mr. World."

Xing was a little discouraged because she had been thinking about the super cool self-introduction all night but failed to post it.

Seeing Xing's deflated look, Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I caught up.

Serris smiled crookedly: You are too happy too early.

Through the enhanced spiritual vision of the gray fog, he discovered that the surface color of the Sun's astral body had become a little purer, reaching the level of Sequence Eight. He initially judged that the other party should have completely digested the "Singer" potion and completed the promotion to "Prayer of Light".

Audrey calmly began to observe the two newcomers.

The Emperor's daughter doesn't seem to be too reserved, perhaps because of her lively personality. Hmm, how should I put it? Very... innocent?
Looking at Xing, who was 1.7 meters tall, Audrey was a little unsure of her opinion.

It is also possible that his situation is similar to Mr. Sun's, and he is born with half-giant bloodline.

She wasn't surprised by Miss Wheel of Fortune's situation, as if she had known about it for a long time. She also seemed to have been staring at Mr. Devil for quite a while, so she probably knew him.

Oh, no, no need to speculate, he's already reached out to say hello. He really feels so innocent.

As for Mr. World, he was a reserved man with few physical movements and a stern face. She wondered where he was from: Loen, Intis? Or perhaps a place as mysterious as the City of Silver? Audrey pondered.

There was something a little odd about his body movements; the occasional small movements didn't flow smoothly or coordinate well with the previous one. I assumed those small movements were deliberate disguises. Audrey rested her chin on one hand.

With the ability of a foresight expert, she can see more things.

Everyone greeted the two new members, and the world's response was rather cold, while the Emperor's reaction was completely the opposite.

Clearly, she wasn't satisfied with Klein's introduction. She happily responded one by one, "Hello everyone, hello everyone. I'm the humanoid self-propelled super bomb. I just turned two this year. Everyone says I'm beginning to take on a human form and understand some human nature..."

Except for Serris and the Dummy World, everyone couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

Is this horse two years old?

It is said that women like to report their age in tabloid form, but this is too young!
Amazing! Is he a natural giant? This was Derrick's thought.

As long as you dare to say it, I, the Sun, will believe it.

"Ms. Emperor, why do you say you are a humanoid self-propelled super bomb?" The Hanged Man Alger was more concerned about this aspect of the problem.

Xing puffed out his chest proudly: "Because if I self-destruct, I can easily destroy this world."

Alger secretly glanced at Mr. Fool and Mr. Devil, and seeing that neither of them objected, he took a deep breath.

As expected of Mr. Fool, he has actually begun secretly preparing such a powerful weapon?

Then came the ecstasy. Great, I was on the right boat.

Now that Mr. Fool has placed his weapons before us, perhaps the next step will be a general attack on the seven major churches...

To break this slightly strange atmosphere, Mr. World looked around and said in a hoarse voice:
"Mr. Fool told me that I can issue tasks and collect materials here, is that correct?"

"Yes." Justice Audrey quickly adjusted her composure and gracefully led the way, "But you must be patient. It's time for Mr. Fool to read."

Still thinking about what Miss Emperor had just said, Audrey slipped up and said, "If you're in a hurry, you can wait a little longer."

The dummy world kept silent and began to wait quickly.

Hearing Miss Justice's words, Alger bowed humbly and said, "It's still six pages this time. I'll give you the last page next time."

"Okay." Klein said softly.

The Hanged Man gathers the spirit, recalls the content, and gives expression to the strong idea.

He quickly "wrote" six pages of the diary, only to see them suddenly disappear and appear in Klein's hands.

Klein turned his head and looked at Ceris.

And you too.

Serris blinked and materialized a diary. "This is today's diary, Mr. Fool."

Klein also took the diary, looked down, and scanned the contents of the first page.

"What are you looking at? It's really troublesome to edit your diary every week, okay?"

"I'll just give you a few websites. Go back and watch some videos on your phone."

Below is a series of website URLs, and below that are some meaningless gibberish.

Tsk, am I such a person? I am obviously a gentleman.

Klein calmly wrote down the URL, scattered Serris's "diary" for today, and began reading Russell's diary.

The Emperor spent a lot of space in his diary today complaining about the fortune tellers, saying that they were all riddlers, which made him very angry.

He also said that he would pry open the fortune tellers' mouths, then stuff thick and hard sticks into their mouths and stir them violently.

He then went on to talk at length about his eldest daughter Bernadette, eldest son Charles and second son Benoit.

Finally, Russell described how he had made 22 blasphemous cards, each containing the name of a path and a potion formula.

Klein put down the diary in his hand and knocked on the edge of the long bronze table. "You can begin to communicate freely."

At this time, Klein, leaning back in his chair, said no more and secretly manipulated the trumpet with a condescending attitude.

The world coughed lightly and said, "Can I speak now?"

Klein felt like a Stand user, controlling a Stand called "The World."

He can also stop time...

Audrey glanced at Mr. Fool, and seeing he didn't say anything, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

The dummy world extended its right hand forward and pressed it against the table, materializing a picture depicting Lanevus's appearance and attire.

So skilled? Alger raised an eyebrow.

"Find out about the person in the painting. He's in Backlund." The World held up the portrait.

He was a young man with black hair neatly combed back, revealing a full forehead, and wearing round-frame glasses.

This is a colorful oil painting. The pair of sarcastic brown eyes stand out unusually, and below them are inscribed information such as "Formerly known as Lanevus".

"The price depends on what you pay." The world said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

After the newcomer finished speaking, Audrey turned to look at Padmeow beside her.

"Ms. Wheel of Fortune, I have completed your commission to assassinate Intis Ambassador Baker."

After saying that, Audrey added, "He was a Sequence Six conspirator, and Mr. Devil and I teamed up to take him down. So you'll have to pay both Mr. Devil and me a reward. The combined reward must be at least equivalent to the value of a Sequence Six."

Padomeow nodded: "I've seen it in the newspaper. What do you want?"

Audrey thought for a few seconds and paid attention to the reactions of the two new members.

When I mentioned that Ambassador Bakerland's assassination was due to a commission I accepted, neither of them showed any surprise or astonishment.

Either he was unaware of the importance of the matter and didn't understand the weight of an ambassador, or he was very calm and good at hiding his emotions and body movements.

Of course, if the Emperor's daughter is really only two years old as she said, it is understandable that she cannot sort out the pros and cons.

"I want to know some secret knowledge of the extraordinary world, provided that I don't know it." Audrey collected her thoughts and tried to ask for a reward.

Padomeow's tail wagged. How could she know any secret knowledge?
Suddenly, her eyes rolled and an idea came to her mind.

Hey, look at me trying to get something for nothing.

"In that case, how about I tell you the story of the 13 saints under the Fool? I believe there are no similar stories in the outside world."

She had also sneaked into the Church of Mercy to take a look and learned about the Fool's Codex inside.

What the hell? Where did these 13 saints come from? How come I don't know about this? Klein the Fool, behind the gray fog, remained calm on the surface, but a thousand horses were galloping inside.

"That's great." Audrey immediately agreed excitedly, then became a little skeptical, "But do you really know?"

Mr. Fool is an ancient being that has just been revived. How could a cat know...

Audrey's mind moved.

Wait, what if Miss Wheel of Fortune is one of those 13 saints?
Saint Kongmeng is the saint most favored by my lord... Audrey remembered what Pastor Amon had said.

Maybe she really knows!
"Hmm... I'd like to know more about Mr. Fool's story. Do you know anything about it?" Audrey asked tentatively.

At this moment, Paduo Miao remembered what Klein had said to her this afternoon: "Paduo, the setting has been changed. You can be more relaxed in the Tarot Club from now on."

Klein had noticed before that Padmeow seemed a little reserved at the Tarot meeting.

Now that he already had a secondary account, Padomeow's role as an insider was no longer significant. Therefore, Klein slightly modified Padomeow's settings this afternoon.

Klein designed Padmeow as Mr. Fool's pet and his follower, so a little mischief wouldn't be a big deal.

Padmeow immediately raised a small paw: "Well, in that case, why don't we tell the story of Mr. Fool's childhood."

A knocking sound came from the top of the long bronze table. It was the sound of Klein the Fool tapping on the table.
