Klein stood on a deserted street corner and quietly flipped through the newspapers.

He folded these pieces of paper filled with Fusac language and wanted to burn them, but after hesitating for a moment, he stuffed them into his package with an inexplicable mood.

According to the Dark Saint, the Loen border has already had friction with Feysac. Feysac’s excuse for starting the war this time is upright. The only drawback is that all countries can come to share the pie. Compared with war, there is a better way to use international The pressure of public opinion forced Roen to abdicate or even cede territory. It was well known that the Fusac people wanted to further invade the Rhosid Islands from the Sunia Sea to the west.

"I can't control these things anyway..."

"But it is necessary to remind people I know that the war has begun, and they need to buy more food, buy as much as they can, and I am the same."

Klein closed his eyes, shook his head gently, and returned to the road with the package in his hand.

On the street, bakeries and food raw material shops obviously had more customers than usual today. Many sacks with the Feitus Food Factory trademark were moved back and forth. Some were impatiently moved before they were even placed on the counter. The customer bought it.

He thought of Melissa and Benson, and suddenly wanted to take a look at their residence.

"Take a look, it should be fine, right?"

Klein was still weighing things in his mind, but his feet had already honestly started to walk in the other direction, and he was listing the things that needed to be done in his mind:

Frank's mushrooms have arrived, and he only needs to go to the warehouse at the dock later to start spreading "the gospel of Mr. Fool". Leonard will let him go to Origin Castle tonight to draw cards. He will take the time to pay attention to the two ladies Forsi and Xio who are exploring the castle. He can go to the "Veteran Officers Club" to talk to the nobles who entrusted him with delivering goods. Tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, he has time now - he has time!

He can freely control his time, do what he wants to do, and see the people he wants to see. He no longer has to tightly arrange every minute and every second, and live cautiously under the shadow of revenge!

Gradually, a smile appeared on Klein's face involuntarily, and his steps became brisk.

I don’t know which department of government employees Benson was admitted to and where he works now. Compared to Hillston and Queens, which have huge and complex traffic flow, Klein hesitated and went straight to the reorganized Backlund Technical University.

It's July now, school should have started, and it's lunch break, so maybe you can see Melissa on campus.

A figure flashed across the street. It was a postman who was busy delivering letters. Klein looked at the figure leaving quickly and suddenly thought:

"If I were still with them and Melissa went to college, I would definitely buy a bicycle as a gift for her to enter college!"

"Benson will definitely support me, but Miss Melissa who received the gift probably won't be so happy..."

Imagining the eyes of his old-fashioned sister who were eager for and wanted to reject such fashionable mechanical products, Klein's expression slowly became gentle: "If Benson had also been admitted as a government employee, their life should be very good now, right? .”

He was a little regretful, but he was no longer sad about it.

For the deceased who have left, rather than seeing their surviving relatives grieving, sad, and crying all day long, they hope that their family members can forget themselves, get out of the haze, and live well.

Soon, Klein arrived at the gate of Backlund Technical University before twelve o'clock. He originally wanted to change his face and sneak in, but inexplicably felt that such behavior seemed like someone who wanted to do something illegal on campus. terrorist.

After a fierce struggle with his desire to see Melissa, Klein put on his hat, lowered the brim, put on an ordinary face, bought a fast food, and sat in front of the teaching building. on the flower bed.

While having lunch, he looked forward normally, observing the people coming out of the teaching building as if in a daze.

After a long time, his sight casually scanning the surrounding scene suddenly stopped, and then he looked in another direction as if nothing had happened.

From the corner of his eye, the thin, petite girl who always wore an old-fashioned old black dress walked out of the teaching building with a few friends. She has grown taller and is wearing a beautiful new dress. The ribbon that binds her hair is a fresh and not very bright sky blue. The thin face became rounded and slightly red, and the hair and eyes were shiny.

If it weren't for the shy expression, Klein would hardly believe that this was the inconspicuous sister from a year ago.

Klein kept looking in other directions, almost motionless. It wasn't until Melissa and her friends walked away talking and laughing, and disappeared into what was probably the canteen, that he thought of taking a bite of bread.

His mood had never been so sour, and he had never been so happy.

Southern Continent, Behrens City.

"What's going on here?!"

Traynor fell down from the rubble of the ruins and was immediately stunned by what he saw: "A civil war broke out among the Loen people? Why doesn't a Sequence 3 prince come to fight you if he is so capable?"

Tang En, who was sitting on the pile of rubble next to him, had a very ugly expression on his face: "How many of them have been rescued?"

"I saved everyone who was alive when I came here."

Richard put his hand on Tang En's shoulder, and strange black lines climbed up the back of his hand like snakes, twisting the flesh and bones. The pain Tang En endured seemed to be gradually fading away, and there was color on his face again.

"Sure enough, it's this kind of strange restriction again." The Temperance Angel pulled his hand hard, and with a few clicks, the completely twisted and dislocated bones and fingers were forcefully twisted back to their original positions, and the twisted black shadow was forced When it reached the knuckle of his little finger, Richard pried it off directly.

"What on earth did you go through?"

"I don't even fucking know!"

Tang En glanced at the casualty statistics, and was so heartbroken that he almost fainted on the spot. Traynor quickly reached out and pinched him: "Seeing Prince Grove's passive response, I felt that there must be a scam, so I asked Traynor to do his best. Get ready, everything goes well at night, but at dawn, a voice suddenly speaks in the head of the entire War Red."

"What did you say?"

"The voice claimed to be 'Emperor Loen, George III', and then gave us orders in our minds."

Cold sweat began to appear on Tang En's forehead. He was still frightened by what happened that morning:

"His personality surpassed mine and directly invaded my War Red, giving orders to everyone. The orders include... no calling for help, no sending messages, no helping each other, and, killing each other."

Richard frowned: "This is not a curse..."

"The most important thing is that you must obey the emperor. If you disobey orders, you will die on the spot."

Twain burst into tears. He didn't know whether it was because he was pinched by Traynor's nails or because he was feeling uncomfortable: "There was no 'cannibalism' at the beginning, only the first few prohibitions, and some things like walking left, turning right, standing up, etc. A simple request, as long as you obey, you can survive, but the more you obey, the more terrifying the next orders will be. We kept trying, trying to use sealed objects and high-level spiritual links to resist, but it had no effect at all."

He pointed at Traynor: "If the order is for me to kill you, then I must do it to you. If I don't do it, the order will be that you must not only kill me, but also kill another person." ."

"But at the same time, I discovered that these orders are not only required of us, but also of the Loen people."

"The Loen people must completely obey King George III and act immediately, otherwise they will be punished even more severely."

Traynor and Richard frowned.

"Judges?" Richard said curiously, "It's a bit like their laws."

"But such a request is too strange. Isn't this the level 0 sealed artifact that Prince Grove used to deal with you? Why are the requirements for our own side more stringent than those for the enemy?" Traynor couldn't help but ask, "Did the Loen people just end up killing each other? When did these orders end, and how did you survive?"

"Prince Grove kept giving orders to the sealed object like crazy. People on both sides were killing people crazily. I saw that there was a Loen officer who refused to kill his subordinates, so he had his neck broken by the order. What did the emperor say? There is no need for disobedient subjects. Damn it, this sealed object doesn’t know how to respect the honor of a warrior! Finally I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I threw the charm you gave me and smashed it at the prince’s feet.”

Tang En gestured:

"Then I don't know what happened. The moment the emperor's order stopped, I took everyone to retreat. The people of Loen seemed to be driven crazy. I remember that George III's last order was 'take him away immediately. I'm out of here'."

"Sounds like an active sealed object?"

"Is this also a law? It's not surprising that Roen has a sealed artifact of the Prince Judge path."

"He is not in a normal state. He seems to be controlled by a sealed object." Tang En shook his head firmly, "There must be something wrong with that thing."

Richard was curious. He listened to the story with great interest. He even tossed the black knuckle of his little finger that he had broken off in his hand up and down: "But now you don't seem to have to worry about this sealed object appearing again. Behind Behrens is At the port, they may have escaped by boat overnight, but I don’t know if they will make it back alive.”

July Fourth, Monday, 2 p.m.

After taking care of everything, Klein entered Origin Castle in a hotel room, planning to have Dwayne Dantès "return to Backlund" after the Tarot session to talk to the retired officers.

I still have the badge that Alfred Hall gave me. It’s not my problem that I didn’t get what your descendants gave you, and I did indeed deliver all your things.

Klein exhaled and sat in the seat of "The Fool".

This time, there will be two new members in the Tarot Club.

When it was almost three o'clock, rays of deep red light rose up and solidified into different human shapes on both sides of the long bronze table.

The eternal silence above the gray mist was then broken, and the grand ancient palace became filled with indescribable vitality.

Leonard, who had obtained the "Star" card, once again came to this mysterious palace above the gray fog. He sat upright nervously while constantly scanning the other figures.

There will definitely be no one who dares to appear with a false appearance in the meeting before God. Although everyone's appearance is covered by the mist, the general features of the face can still be seen.

...blond hair and golden eyes? Like the characteristics of Intis Extraordinary in the data... blue hair, storm? A member of the church or a pirate...a noble lady...a lady with purple eyes, powerful, at least the leader of a medium-sized team...black hair and red eyes? Bloodlines? Arrogant, from a good background...sloppy, not stable enough...gloomy, scary...

Leonard quickly glanced at the people around him and roughly glanced at the women on the opposite side, getting a rough impression of the other participants. Finally, he turned his attention to the figure at the end of the long table, opposite "The Fool".

Found it... Leonard's shoulders relaxed slightly, but then he returned to the nervous and cautious state he had been in when he came here, observing the people around him and preparing for the next move at any time.

Judging from the brief exchange with "The Fool", He cannot be another identity of the true Creator.

Judging from the reaction of the old man Palles to "Grey Mist" and "The Fool", this should indeed be a great existence, so Leonard temporarily placed the other party in the camp of the true creator, guessing that the two secret evil gods might There are some cooperative relationships.

In any case, I am still an extraordinary member of the Orthodox Church. In this kind of gathering, before I can determine the general direction of the gathering and the character and behavior of other people, I must ensure my own safety.

At this moment, the blond lady in front of him took the initiative to stand up. Leonard was immediately ready, stood up with the others, and nervously followed the lady with a beautiful voice to say hello to Mr. Fool. .

After a few brief exchanges, Klein met Xio and realized that he had not told Leonard some of the small details of participating in the Tarot Club. What surprised him even more was that Leonard, who knew nothing about the party, He actually kept up with everyone's pace without making any mistakes.

At the same time, he also felt that everyone seemed to be worried, especially Miss Justice.

Is it because Roen was attacked by public opinion? She is a noble lady with a sense of justice... He sighed in his heart.

Looking around, "The Fool" Klein gently nodded and responded calmly:

"Let's start trading."

When he was speaking, Audrey paid attention to the reactions of "The Hermit" and "The Hanged Man" and found that they did not notice that Mr. "Fool" had become more majestic and lofty.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Cattleya the Hermit pushed up her glasses and whispered:

"Everyone, I would like to know the details of the events that occurred on June 30, as well as the details of the change of the sun. One hundred pounds."

Two personal participants, "The World" and "Stars" looked at her at the same time. Just when Leonard was thinking about organizational language, "The World" spoke first: "I can answer this question. Private transaction?"

"I can add some details." Leonard decided to actively participate in the transaction.

Cattleya thought for a while, then looked at "The World":

"Let's just say it here, I'm making a deal with you two, and I hope you can complement each other."

So "The World" Gehrman Sparrow spoke in a low voice:

"The defected Archbishop Ince Zangwill of the Church of the Night, who fled with 0-08, appeared at the Port of Enmatt. He was noticed by the Church of the Night and killed on the spot. Then something happened that I don't know whether it has anything to do with this incident. In the war, the True Creator fought against the Eternal Sun, and the former won and seized the power of the 'sun', and now takes over the Church of the Eternal Sun in Intis."

Klein's news has the shadow of the Aurora Society... "Star" Leonard paused for a moment, and then answered:

"But the whereabouts of Level 0 Sealed Artifact 0-08 are unknown, and I don't know who took it away. An accident occurred during this process. Ince Zangwill was contaminated by the devil's pathway, causing Edward Vaughn, the angel of the devil's pathway, to Attracted by the extraordinary characteristics, they arrived at the Port of Enmat, where some high-level struggles occurred, resulting in the destruction of Port of Enmat and several surrounding coastal cities, and the number of casualties cannot be counted."

Mr. "Star" spoke in a very official manner, and also talked about the number of casualties... Others had this idea at the same time.

In the Tarot Society, "Justice" Audrey and others heard the news for the first time. They could only determine from the words "Archbishop", "0-08", "demigod" and other words that the matter was quite important, but it had nothing to do with them. , so it failed to generate greater interest in them. The "angel of the devil's path" only made everyone a little shocked. After all, the people who were talked about were often several angel kings and true gods. Even Ms. "Hermit" had just traded a drop of angel blood.

But as soon as the words "The True Creator has seized the power of the sun" came out in the second half of the sentence, the Tarot meeting was so quiet that only the sound of breathing was left - the breathing sound came from Derrick "The Sun".

Everyone who knew about the existence of "adjacent pathways" immediately thought of this direction. Adjacent gods can rob each other's authority! The reason why the three gods of Storm, Knowledge and Sun are hostile to each other is obvious, and the reason for suppressing the true Creator is also instantly clear to people.

In the brief silence, Klein the Fool suddenly reached out and tapped the table.

At the sound of Du's voice, all the members straightened their backs or straightened up, and turned to the top of the long bronze table at the same time. Even the newly joined "Star" Leonard and "Judgement" Xio did not hesitate, almost Instinctively made corresponding actions.

Then, they heard the distant and tall figure in the gray mist chuckle and say:

"Times have changed because of that."

"Star" Leonard, who was involved in the Ince Zangwill incident, does not think that the changes in the times have anything to do with Ince Zangwill, even though the 0-08 that was picked up has now become a worry for him. , even if he took a short nap, it seemed like the words of the devil were lingering in his ears.

But now he is thinking about another thing - the "Sleepless One" and the "Corpse Collector" are adjacent to each other. Is this why the Church of the Night has been committed to cleaning up the Church of Death?

Why did Fusac's God of War choose to suddenly declare war now? Is it just because of... the king's atrocities?

He focused his attention on Mr. Fool's next words, and "Justice" Audrey and others all became energetic. Even Derrick "The Sun" couldn't help but show his attitude of waiting for the follow-up.

"The Fool" Klein looked around and said with a half-smile and a half-sigh:

"Adam missed the throne."

"And the Creator took the first step to reclaim his light."

Adam? Missed the throne? ..."Star" Leonard didn't know who Adam was, but he could still understand this simple and easy-to-understand sentence.

He immediately thought of the ordinary priest who picked up "0-08" in front of Klein after the previous battle.

Different from the reaction of the people around him, he lowered his head slightly and stared at the long bronze table with expressionless eyes.

Under the table, his hands stretched out and then clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh.
