Mystery: A Spark

In his view, the goddess of the night in the original work is exactly the kind of independent woman who is obsessed with her career.

Feelings? Ha, they're nothing but a useless burden.

However, although Arthur didn't think he would be so ridiculous as to have anything happen with the goddess of the night, it was certain that there was some unknown relationship between Arthas and him.

He believed that Arthas should also be able to feel the same sense of intimacy that Arthur had felt.

This is part of the reason why he wouldn't suspect Arthas of harming him.

As for the other reason, it is naturally that he has already established a strong bond with his puppy.

However, this does not mean that Arthur turned a blind eye to Arthas's unusual behavior.

Especially after he discovered that this little thing had unknowingly taken control of Triss, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.

Arthur knew that Arthas was rather lazy, and the fact that the little guy was willing to give up his lazy attitude and take action meant that the problem was quite serious.

In addition, there was the little thing's intentional or unintentional advice to him not to leave Backlund during this period, the worried look in its eyes when it occasionally looked at him, and the 0-level sealed artifact that was vaguely visible in the assassination case.

All of this further convinced Arthur that he might have fallen into some kind of dangerous situation.

A dangerous situation that could be fatal.

Otherwise, Arthas wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hack 0-08, a move he had repeatedly emphasized was dangerous.

Although Arthur has never been particularly interested in divination or similar abilities, that doesn't mean he's a materialistic fool.

He didn't pay much attention to this ability because it was too easily interfered with and misinterpreted in the mysterious world.

But since Arthas, as an "astrologer," had already sensed certain signs, Arthur would still take those signs into consideration.

Therefore, after realizing his predicament, Arthur naturally had to make some preparations so that he would have enough cards to play if he were in dire straits.

He wouldn't stay cooped up in Backlund just because of the danger he was in.

Because running away won't solve the problem.

Only promotion can turn a crisis into something that is no longer a crisis.

After all, how long can one hide?

Many thoughts raced through Arthur's mind, but he showed no outward expression.

He looked at Fors and said:

“Miss Magician, I might need to borrow that travel journal next week.”

“No problem.” Fors smiled slightly.

She was pleased that she had successfully closed a deal, which meant it was a good start.

At the end of the transaction, Klein manipulated "the world" to once again purchase materials related to the ancient vengeful spirit and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle.

For him, the best thing would be to find out the whereabouts of an ancient vengeful spirit and then hunt it down himself.

In this way, he can not only obtain the auxiliary materials he needs, but also repay the debt he incurred when he asked Arthur to purify the Puppet Master's properties.

Unfortunately, this request went unanswered.

Klein wasn't in a hurry; he just needed to get the materials before finding the mermaid.

So, he looked around and chuckled softly, saying:

"Everyone, please feel free to chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alger, the "Hanged Man," looked at Audrey with a smile in his eyes and said with a hint of amusement:

“I recently heard about something that happened in Backlund. The head of the workers’ mutual aid association was assassinated, but luckily he survived.”

Upon hearing this, Klein's first reaction was not to doubt Miss "Justice," but rather to think that Arthur himself was probably behind it.

However, he did not show any abnormality, but simply looked at "justice" with the same leisurely posture as everyone else.

“I did not do this,” Audrey said calmly.

She didn't explain much, just gave a simple response, because the more she said, the more she would expose.

"I see. It seems others may have thought of this method as well." Alger nodded, it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Is it really not her...? Emlyn was somewhat suspicious.

He had met Arthur a few times and knew that the latter had recently survived an assassination attempt and was currently recovering from his injuries.

The Harvest Church even sent several priests to help the guy prepare medicine for his injuries.

He could easily understand the significance of this assassination.

After all, he was present at the last tarot gathering and heard the Hanged Man's plan.

So he naturally had some doubts in his heart: was this really not an act of "justice"?

Fors, however, thought differently; she knew that the "chariot" belonged to Arthur.

So she felt that Arthur might have orchestrated the whole thing, but she also felt that it might really have been done by "justice."

Derrick was completely bewildered; he had no idea what the Mutual Aid Society was.

Klein watched everyone's reactions with great interest, and in his mind's eye, he seemed to see a black pot being shoved onto Miss "Justice".

Audrey was speechless.

She clearly didn't do it, but because she asked a question at the last tarot gathering, it became her doing in other people's eyes.

The key issue is that she can't be sure who did it; although she has suspicions, she has no evidence.

So she simply remained silent, pretending not to see the suspicion in the eyes of others.

The room fell silent for a moment, then Alger chuckled and broke the silence:

"The sea has been relatively calm recently."

He had assumed that "The World" would make headlines soon after arriving at sea, so he went out of his way to find out more.

To his surprise, he didn't find out any special information, such as who had been killed.

So this statement is actually a test of the "world," to see if the other party has already taken action but is keeping the news well covered up, or if they have a bigger scheme and are still in the planning stage.

The next moment, he heard the hoarse voice of "the world":

“I just heard about something that happened at sea, and it’s related to the Church of Storms.”

Alger frowned as he listened to "The World's" account of the anomalies in Bansi Harbor and the corruption of the Storm Church bishop.

In his view, this should be considered an accident, after all, there is indeed an evil spirit in Bansi Port that is known as the "Weather God".

Not only there, but also in many places overseas and in the southern continent, similar things exist. On the surface, they seem to have been eliminated, but in fact they are dead but not dead.

But why would "The World" bring this up? Is there some information I don't know about it? Alger tried to guess what "The World" was thinking.

But just then, he heard laughter coming from the head of the bronze table.

Oh? Klein and the Hotpot Demon did meet after all? I wonder what those three comedians thought when they saw him and Sharon... After hearing the laughter, Arthur, like the others who were puzzled or curious, looked at Mr. Fool.

After tricking the Hotpot Evil with Bernadette, Arthur stopped paying attention to the three's movements.

After all, it's impossible to keep an eye on things if you want to, and it's also difficult to kill them, so you might as well just let nature take its course.

Moreover, according to the Law of Extraordinary Aggregation, it might even be possible to send those three guys out to attract some attention.

As Klein revealed the relationship between Banshee and the Red Angel Medici, the members of the Tarot Club immediately had different feelings.

Some were shocked, some were excited, and some felt bitter.

Alger, on the other hand, thought the most deeply. He not only speculated about Mr. Fool's purpose, but also deduced that "the world" might be Mr. Fool's benefactor.

He wasn't just making wild guesses, but rather drawing conclusions from several aspects.

One of them is the extraordinary path to which "the world" belongs.

As a mid-level member of the church, Alger knew that within the entire Tarot community, the "world" that shared the same extraordinary path as Mr. Fool was likely connected to this mysterious being in some special way.

Why would Alger know that "the World" is the extraordinary one of the Diviner's Path?

Because the church had previously arrested and killed members of secret societies, it obtained some recipes for the methods of divination.

Therefore, based on past needs, Alger speculated that "the world" belonged to the diviner's path.

In fact, Alger was able to deduce not only the extraordinary paths of the "world" members, but also the extraordinary paths of the vast majority of members in the Tarot Club.

Apart from the "chariot".

To be honest, even now Alger still doesn't understand which extraordinary path the "chariot" belongs to.

This person is too mysterious; it's impossible to glean much from his past needs.

The second reason is that Alger heard "The World" recount that he received help from Mr. Fool, thwarted the Aurora Society's plot during the smog event, and escaped from the pursuit.

"The World" said that he accidentally stumbled into the ruins and discovered the conspiracy between the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult.

But just listen to this; anyone who believes it is a fool.

After all, how could such an important conspiracy be discovered by someone who just wandered in by chance?

Clearly, the "world" at that time had received instructions from Mr. Fool to go to that ruin.

Considering this incident, the possibility that the world is favored by Mr. Fool becomes increasingly clear.

Therefore, Mr. Fool's formation of the Tarot Club was not only for a secret revival, but also to use us to interfere in certain matters, and "The World" was one of His pawns, while we were another... After realizing this, Alger suddenly became somewhat excited.

After all, there are differences between chess pieces. Being able to become a chess piece of a god is not shameful, but rather something to be proud of.

While this may involve risks, it can also bring substantial rewards.

Perhaps, in the future I will touch the boundary between demigod and demigod, or even reach a higher position... Alger appeared calm, but his heart was already churning with turbulent waves.

Klein noticed all of his emotional changes.

Mr. Hanged Man should report this to his superiors. Hopefully, he won't delay too long... With his shrewdness, he may have already seen some problems with "the world" and noticed the relationship between "him" and "the Fool," which is exactly what I want... Klein glanced at Arthur without showing any emotion, but found that the other's emotional color was a calm blue, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

From the moment Arthur revealed that he was the Black Emperor, and later when he explained the information about the Three Schools of Deception to him, he knew that this guy would definitely be able to perceive the relationship between "The World" and "The Fool".

Fortunately, Arthur could only guess at the level of "the Favored One" at most, and it was unlikely that he knew that he was "the Fool" himself.

With a smile, Klein answered Audrey's question about the Medici pathway and said:

"You guys continue."

Emlyn looked at everyone, cleared his throat, and asked:
