Mystery: A Spark

Similarly, after becoming the head of the Holy Rune Empire, Arthur also announced his resignation as president of the Workers' Aid Association and passed legislation stipulating that from then on, the president and vice president of the Workers' Aid Association could only be held by members of the working class.

The three new institutions mentioned above are on the same level as the original parliament, defense ministry, and foreign ministry of Ruen. Their leaders, together with the current prime minister Agushid, form the new cabinet, and together they constitute the new political structure of the Holy Ruen Empire.

From then on, Rune entered a new era.

……

"The Holy Rune Empire? Arthur, you really have a naming genius. Aren't you afraid that Rune will split in two?"

At 160 Berklund Street, inside Dawn Dantes' mansion, Klein, holding today's newspaper brought by a servant, sipped tea and grumbled:

"'Rune' is fine, after all, it inherited the previous dynasty, but is this 'sacred' thing for real? Where exactly is it sacred? And this so-called 'empire', where is your emperor? Where did the emperor go? How can it be called an empire if there isn't even an emperor?"

"Oh, the emperor has been killed. That's alright then."

Klein shook his head, put down the newspaper full of complaints, got up and went to the window to look across the street.

On the balcony of the house across the street, a young girl was reading a book.

Seemingly sensing Klein's gaze, the girl looked up and gave him a calm smile.

Klein nodded in response, without making any further comment.

The girl reading the book is Melissa.

When Klein bought a house to support his status as a millionaire, he immediately chose this house across from the Benson's house from the three options provided by the butler, just so he could see his brother and sister every day.

Of course, even though they could see each other every day, Klein couldn't show much affection to his brother and sister.

Especially Melissa.

Since Klein is now a middle-aged millionaire, if he frequently greets the young woman across the street and acts too intimately, who knows what kind of scandals will spread if others see it.

This will inevitably cause Melissa a lot of trouble.

Melissa understood this, so she would only check on Klein whenever she had the chance, just to make sure he was doing well.

Klein pretended to look at the scenery from the window, then closed it and went back into the room.

"Tomorrow is another Tarot meeting, and Arthur has already advanced to Sequence Three, which is already making my spirituality a little unable to hold up."

"What if he becomes an angel someday?" Klein sighed softly.

Chapter 302 The long-lost Tarot Club

“These talismans… are called ‘Yesterday Once More’.”

Above the gray fog, Klein toyed with a few talismans in his hand and muttered to himself.

Wilon Setin traded his umbilical cord blood to the "Star Admiral" in exchange for an item that could temporarily restore his strength.

The object, shaped like the head of a cane, allows one to briefly draw power from their past self when activated.

However, it has one drawback: it can only be used once.

But this shortcoming wasn't a problem, because Klein discovered that he seemed to be able to replicate the symbols and magical markings on the item, using the power of the gray mist to create talismans with the same effect.

After trying for a while, I finally succeeded today.

"It can be considered a trump card. Although it's not very useful to me, I can give it to those big shots, such as Will, Mr. Azik, and Miss Messenger."

Klein put the talisman away, then reached out and touched the red star below to begin this week's tarot session.

As the crimson light faded, the members of the Tarot Club took their seats in the palace above the gray mist.

No one submitted Roselle's diary at this Tarot meeting, so the meeting proceeded directly to the transaction process.

Arthur was the first to raise his request, which was the auxiliary materials needed to advance to the rank of "Weather Wizard": the core of the Fire Giant and Medusa's blood.

Upon hearing this request, there was a long silence above the gray fog.

Alger pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "If I remember correctly, these two extraordinary creatures seem to be of a very high level, and are quite powerful even among mythical creatures."

“Yes, you’re not mistaken,” Arthur confirmed.

"Are you... about to take that step?" Alger asked, his voice somewhat hoarse.

“It’s not far.” Arthur nodded.

Alger took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, unsure of how to react for a moment.

Everyone else understood what Alger meant. Apart from Klein and Audrey, even those who knew Arthur's identity were utterly surprised and shocked.

Last year he was only a mid-sequence, right? This year he's already about to become an angel? Angels in ancient times would be called gods, so does that mean a god is about to appear among my friends? Fors stared blankly at Arthur across from him.

She suddenly felt that she should go to Arthur and ask for some of his personal belongings after she returned to reality.

In this way, once Arthur becomes an angel, these items can be called "divine objects".

Fors even wanted to write a book based on this incident, called "The Untold Story Between Me and the Gods".

Of course, she had to ask Arthur's opinion before writing it, lest he find out about it one day and get angry and give her a good scolding.

It could also be a celestial fire.

"If I may ask, would you... be willing to reveal your extraordinary method?" After hesitating for a long time, Alger finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

He had previously guessed that Arthur was a "warrior," but he wasn't entirely sure.

Now that he knows the "Chariot" is about to take that step, Alger can no longer contain his curiosity. He wants to know what kind of angel is about to appear in this world.

What he really wanted to know was who this person was.

Of course, Alger remembered the rules of the Tarot Society, so he didn't dare ask about his identity, but only about the extraordinary path he had taken.

“I am a 'hunter',” Arthur replied.

"Hunter"? Not "Warrior"? Wait, I remember he seems to be a Rune. High-ranking members of the "Hunter" path mainly operate in Intis and Fusak. Speaking of Rune's "War Bishop"... No way, could "Chariot" be that one? Alger was startled by his own guess.

He felt that his guess was really absurd, but he couldn't help but compare this "Chariot" man with that one, and the more he compared them, the more similar they seemed.

Could I really be right? Rune's new leader is a member of the Tarot Society? This is unbelievable! Alger felt his mouth getting dry.

Because of his background, Alger had always admired that person and agreed with many of the things that person did.

After the Ruin Wars, this appreciation had, to some extent, transformed into admiration.

There are quite a few people in the Storm Church who share similar thoughts. Sometimes when they have nothing to do, they get together to talk about the recent changes in Rune and to actively imagine the future.

This was something that had rarely happened during the reign of George III.

Alger had thought that this leader of the Rune would be very far away from him, and that he might not have any contact with him for many years.

But he never expected that the beloved Lord, who was famous throughout the world, was actually the "Chariot" sitting not far from him at the Tarot meeting.

This strange sense of difference caused Alger to fall into a daze during the tarot reading, something that was extremely rare for him.

Did Mr. Hanged Man's reaction mean he guessed Arthur's identity? Audrey raised an eyebrow, silently observing the reactions of everyone present.

After careful observation, she discovered that most people did not show any obvious change in expression, as if they already knew about Arthur's identity.

Only Little "Sun", "The Hanged Man", and Mr. "Moon" should not have known Arthur's identity before this.

This prompted Audrey to sigh inwardly:

"Arthur really has a wide circle of friends."

When Arthur saw that Alger was a little dazed, he knew that Alger had guessed his identity, which was exactly what he wanted.

Because what he's about to do basically means he can no longer expect to keep his identity hidden.

"Little Sun, how are your Silver City's preparations for the exploration of the Giants' Court?" Arthur asked.

“It’s basically ready.” Derrick stood up and bowed to the head of the bronze table. “We are able to obtain the Silver Knight’s potion recipe thanks to Mr. Fool’s help.”

"So, your Silver City already has a Sequence 3 powerhouse?" Arthur asked.

“Yes, and there are two of them,” Derrick said without any hesitation.

“Well, I guess your chief probably won’t send two Silver Knights to explore the Giant’s Court; he’ll definitely arrange for one to guard Silver City,” Arthur said.

“That’s possible,” Derrick said after a moment’s thought.

"So, do you think your strength is enough to solve the problem of the Giants' Court?" Arthur continued to ask.

“Uh… I don’t know. We have absolutely no idea what’s inside the Giants’ Court,” Derrick answered honestly.

He wasn't really sure about exploring the Giants' Court, but it was something he had to do, and Silver City was currently at its strongest in recent centuries.

If they fail to get out this time, they will never have another chance.

Therefore, even though Derrick wasn't entirely sure, he still said:

"However, we already have a Sequence 3 powerhouse, as well as several other demigods, all of whom are powerful demon hunters. In addition, there is Elder Lovia, a demigod from the Solar Path. If we fight hard, we should still have a chance."

Arthur nodded, offering no comment on Derrick's words, and instead asked another question:

"If your Silver City truly succeeds in breaking through the Giants' Court and entering the outside world, where do you plan to settle down?"

"Huh?" Derrick looked completely bewildered.

This was a question he had never considered.

"Haven't you thought about it?" Arthur smiled, like a creepy uncle trying to lure a child. "After talking with us for so long, you should have a pretty clear understanding of the current situation in the outside world."

"There are now nine countries on the North and South continents. They have occupied most of the outside world, leaving very little area for you to live and thrive."

"Therefore, you should make plans as soon as possible."

Chapter 303 Huang Jiajia is angry

What Arthur said was somewhat beyond Derrick's expectations.

Before this, he had been thinking about how to give Silver City a way out and how to leave the land forsaken by the gods.

How can we prevent Silver City from perishing like other city-states?

He never thought about where Silver City would go after leaving the Forsaken Land.

Is he trying to... subdue Silver City? Well, who wouldn't be envious of such a powerful force as Silver City? Alger glanced at Arthur, quietly observing the development of the situation.

He had no intention of saying anything more, because as a member of the Ruen people, he should obviously stand on the same side as the leader in this matter.

In other words, they wanted to find a way to lure the people from Silver City to Rune.
