"The Fool" Klein hoped to gather inspiration for hunting the Demonic Wolf by receiving diverse opinions from people with different personalities and perspectives.
As for the other angel besides Hobert, Klein planned to ask Miss Messenger, Reinette Tinekerr, for help, so he also provided information about the approximate abilities of "Ancient Bane."
This mode of communication now frequently occurs during the Tarot Gathering. Currently, everyone basically lacks an urgent need for advancement, but sometimes they encounter difficulties that require everyone's help in providing ideas and solutions.
"The Hanged Man" Alger was somewhat excited after receiving the information. He didn't expect that he, only at Sequence 5, could participate in actions against mythical creatures.
"The Hermit" Cattleya, based on the information provided by "The World," was guessing which angel Mr. Fool would dispatch to help.
After everyone carefully read the information in their hands, Alger took the lead and said, "According to Miss Justice's analysis, no bait will lure that suspicious mythical creature. It will only make Him hide further away."
"Under the circumstance of seemingly possessing Sequence 1 characteristic, improving Himself is the most important thing to Him. If we want to deal with Him, we can only consider it from this aspect."
"The Moon" Emlyn, upon hearing this, also shared his views: "But this mythical creature is very cautious, leaving no clues. And intelligence shows that the location He's preparing for the Sequence 1 ritual is in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods,' where He's actually unrestricted."
The ritual for advancing to Sequence 1, "Attendant of Mysteries," is to build a town purely composed of puppets.
"Yes, there are too many monsters available for Him to use," "The Sun" Derrick affirmed Emlyn's statement.
After a second or two of silence in the hall, "The Star" Leonard thought for a moment and said, "Can we rely on the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence?"
As he spoke, he looked at "The World": "That mythical creature seems to be on the same pathway as you."
Klein had also considered this method: "Relying solely on this level of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence, wanting to find that mythical creature through 'chance encounters' might take a year, two years, or even longer."
"Moreover, for a complete mythical creature, He has the ability to interfere with this to some extent."
At that time, Klein also thought that if he added the Convergence ability of the "Sefirah Castle" to himself, he might be able to randomly move to the Demonic Wolf's front with the "Staff of the Stars" in one go.
But the problem is that, in that case, the probability of "encountering" Amon's main body would be even greater... much greater, even a standard delivery to the door.
After listening to everyone's discussion, Cattleya, based on some of the Queen's taboos, pondered and said, "Can we use the mythical creature's honorific name to establish contact?"
"The World" slowly shook his head: "With His suspicious personality, He definitely won't respond."
If the Demonic Wolf hadn't been tracked by Amon, this might not be impossible, but now, Amon must have thought of what should be thought of. Under this circumstance, the Demonic Wolf hasn't fallen, which means He must be on guard in this regard.
Hobert, who had been pondering all along, suddenly asked, "Can you obtain something related to Kotar? Such as hair, blood, um, these things may be difficult to obtain, discarded puppets are also acceptable."
"If there's anything that can establish a connection with Him, I can find Him. Moreover, this is using the ability to establish 'connection,' not divination, so it can avoid His anti-divination ability."
"As long as we act fast enough, we can catch Him."
Klein manipulated "The World" and said, "The target is very cautious and won't leave any clues."
After pondering for a moment, Hobert added, "I can apply for a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. As long as I go to the places where Kotar once appeared, I can find some mystical clues."
The Sealed Artifact he was talking about was "0-76," the Death God's Sword. Even if the prey is more careful, some clues about the prey can be found in the eyes of a Sequence 1 "Hunter."
The other members didn't speak because the abilities of the angel and the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact were beyond their imagination.
Klein was slightly stunned before saying, "I do know the places where the Demonic Wolf once appeared."
Hobert nodded: "I will report this matter to the 'Creator.' You can directly pray to the 'Creator' to use that Sealed Artifact."
"What I want to remind you is that the usage time should not exceed 40 seconds, otherwise, it's easy to be assimilated by that Sealed Artifact."
Klein said, "Okay."
"As long as you can find relevant clues, I will immediately rush to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'…" Hobert said, "No, that's definitely too late."
Kotar's intuition is very sharp. Even if Hobert's search isn't through divination, this Demonic Wolf will definitely be able to sense danger in advance.
If Kotar can't be found within 5 seconds, this operation will definitely end in failure.
So Hobert added, "Let's still prepare according to 'immediate hunting,' and also try whether I can successfully enter the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' using the method I mentioned earlier."
That is to say, Hobert will personally operate the "Death God's Sword," and immediately "connect" after finding the clues!
Klein immediately used "The World" to say, "I will notify you immediately after I'm ready here."
Hobert gave an "Mm" sound.
Then, "The World" said to "The Magician" Fors, "Please help me contact the Abraham family. Just say that I hope to conduct a transaction with them."
Fors first nodded and then asked, "Is it convenient to reveal the content of the transaction?"
"The 'Traveler' potion formula," "The World" said in a flat tone.
This was a backup option for him.
The other members were stunned. This was the first time a potion transaction at the angel level had appeared at the Tarot Gathering.
Fors hesitated for a moment, but thought that she should also force her teacher to face the opportunity presented to them with a more proactive attitude.
So she said, "I will help you contact them."
At this point, the exchange ended.
Because no member initiated a transaction, it automatically entered the free exchange session.
Hobert asked Alger, "In the primeval forest of Sonia Island, have you found any relevant clues?"
Previously, the exploration of the Elven ruins did yield a copy of the "Sea King" Beyonder characteristic, but it was corrupted by the "Mother Goddess of Depravity."
Hobert then used a clue about a "Cataclysmic Interrer" Beyonder characteristic as a transaction to completely obtain that corrupted "Sea King" Beyonder characteristic.
Alger took a deep breath before saying, "After exploring the Elven ruins, I really saw 'Queen of Calamity' Cohinem in my dream."
"Justice" Audrey was slightly stunned. She already knew that the Sanguine's "Blood Moon Queen" and "Progenitor" had been resurrected one after another. Now, the Elven Queen was also about to be resurrected?
Upon hearing "Queen of Calamity," everyone straightened up and looked at "The Hanged Man."
Alger didn't hide anything: "She promised to give me a copy of the 'Cataclysmic Interrer' Beyonder characteristic, but I have to help Her take something out of the 'Book of Calamity' and, after it appears in the real world in the Western Continent, help Her send it to the Western Continent."
Even "The Fool" straightened up this time. He manipulated "The World" and asked, "The Western Continent?"
Alger confirmed, "Yes, the Western Continent."
Then, he continued, "Currently, according to the 'Queen of Calamity's' guidance, I have obtained what I need."
The other members were stunned. The Tarot Gathering was about to have another demigod!
At this time, Alger said to the head of the bronze long table, "Mr. Fool, I hope to obtain the 'Cataclysmic Interrer' potion formula from you. May I ask what reward I should pay?"
This was also the reason why he dared to publicly announce that he had obtained the Beyonder characteristic because he would soon trade with Mr. Fool, which was equivalent to having a layer of protection.
"You may," Klein had already thought about the reward for the "Cataclysmic Interrer" potion formula: "Secretly cultivate a group of Beyonders loyal to you."
"Of course, based on the principle of equivalent exchange, you can also obtain the 'Sea God Scepter' and the 'Sea King' potion formula from me in the future."
For an "Scholar of Yore," as long as he touches any Sealed Artifact of Grade 1 or below, he can use it whenever he wants in the future. He can completely use the "Sea God Scepter" to cultivate "The Hanged Man."
Alger immediately stood up and said, "I pledge allegiance to Mr. Fool!"
He had long coveted the "Sea God Scepter." Although Mr. Fool said "equivalent exchange," there was no such thing as a transaction for Beyonder characteristics at this level. Basically, they were all gifts from superiors.
Alger was very clear that from now on, he and the forces he cultivated would completely pledge allegiance to The Fool in order to obtain the subsequent Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas.
Hobert sighed from the side: The other members of the Tarot Gathering have also reached the point where they can establish their own organizations.
The other members also successively realized that from today onwards, "The Hanged Man" had completely become a subordinate of Mr. Fool. Then, the organization he would form in the future would also be Mr. Fool's organization.
Cattleya sighed: In the future, Mr. Fool will have more ways to influence the real world, and the Church of the Sea God is also Mr. Fool's organization. I wonder if Mr. Fool will formally establish a church?
After Alger sat down again, Audrey asked the still very excited "Hanged Man," "Mr. Hanged Man, you just said to send things to the 'Western Continent.' Does that mean the Western Continent is about to appear in the world?"
Alger was slightly stunned: "I don't know either."
"However, according to 'Queen of Calamity,' the seal on the Western Continent seems to be loosening."
Therefore, he planned to complete his advancement with the Beyonder characteristics provided by the "Queen of Calamity" first. Anyway, the "Queen of Calamity's" request was to return the things from the "Book of Catastrophes" after the Western Continent appeared.
"Sealed?" Cattleya keenly noticed "The Hanged Man's" wording: "Whose seal?"
Who could completely seal off a continent?
Everyone looked at Mr. Fool, but seeing that Mr. Fool did not intend to explain, they did not continue to discuss this issue.
Klein had obtained clues from the solidified mist outside Moon City and believed that the Western Continent should be sealed by the mysterious Celestial Worthy.
However, the other members believed that "The Fool" was related to the Celestial Worthy, so he felt that it would not be appropriate for him or "The World" to answer this question.
So, he simply did not give any answer.
At this time, Audrey asked again: "Mr. Hanged Man, is the Elven ruins on Sonia Island that you just mentioned the ruins you explored with Mr. Emperor before?"
Although Audrey and Hobert often met recently, they had no chance to talk about it alone.
"It's not." Alger glanced at Hobert, and seeing that he did not object to disclosing the information about that exploration, he continued: "The ruins explored before were on the west side of the Berserk Sea, already close to the Fog Sea…"
He briefly talked about the exploration experience at that time. When they heard about the deserted island and the cannibals, the feeling of maritime adventure filled everyone's minds, making the members who had no adventure experience at sea yearn for it.
But after the subsequent experience, everyone couldn't yearn for it anymore. Those cannibals turned out to be crew members of the Intis Republic! And their captain turned into a half-plant, half-human creature, which sounded strange and disgusting.
Alger was not very clear about what happened after rescuing the trapped people, so everyone looked at "The Emperor" again.
Hobert briefly talked about the subsequent experience, and finally, He concluded: "In the future, everyone should be careful when encountering such ruins. Either the Beyonder characteristics inside have already been taken away, and the person who took them away may even leave some curses or traps.
"Or they will be targeted by some hidden existences, and it is easy to be corrupted."
Leonard smiled and said: "Fortunately, there are not many such ruins."
Emlyn suddenly said: "I heard that there is an ancient ruin in the Balchis Mountains in the western part of Backlund. It is said that there is a mysterious power that can make people stronger, and there are many ancient vengeful spirits inside."
Hobert recalled that the ruins seemed to be related to the "Chaos Sea", so He said: "My suggestion is to pretend not to know and consider exploring after becoming a demigod."
Emlyn smiled: "Of course I won't go."
He said that just now to refute Mr. Star. Ever since the "protective custody" was played out by the two of them, the two would take the opportunity to ridicule each other whenever they had a chance.
Cattleya then asked "The Emperor": "Is the influence of Outer Gods on the real world already very serious?"
"With the orthodox churches present, it won't be too serious." Hobert said: "But their influence should indeed attract everyone's attention.
"As far as I know, the 'Rose School' is currently the force of the Outer God 'Mother Tree of Desire', so everyone should be careful with organizations related to the 'Mother Tree of Desire' except for the 'Temperance School'.
"Other organizations that we are familiar with seem to have nothing to do with the Outer Gods."
He paused and then said: "Another thing to pay attention to is the Boon recipients we mentioned before.
"If you encounter a suspected Boon recipient, investigate if you don't have urgent matters.
"If the investigation confirms that the other party is indeed a Boon recipient, just give me the location, and I will take care of them."
The other members realized that "The Creator" regarded the Outer Gods as huge enemies, or rather, any normal god would firmly resist the Outer Gods and their forces.
Leonard then asked "The Emperor": "What should be done with those sirens who have already believed in the Outer Gods?"
"I have already informed the Storm Church and the Eternal Blazing Sun Church about this matter, and I believe they will continue to follow up on this matter." Hobert smiled.
As a senior member of the Tarot Club, how could he not use the special skill of "reporting".
Leonard was slightly stunned, which was somewhat beyond his expectations, but considering that "The Creator" had almost no power at sea, such an operation was not difficult to understand.
Klein manipulated "The World" and asked: "The Beyonder characteristic in the 'Mother of Sea Monsters' must have been corrupted, right? How did you solve that corruption?"
"It was indeed corrupted." Hobert said: "Currently, there is no way to solve such corruption, it can only be sealed."
Klein was stunned: "'The Creator' also…"
Originally, he wanted to ask "'The Creator' also can't solve it?", but thinking that this seemed obvious, and this question sounded like he was questioning "The Creator", he stopped asking halfway.
However, Hobert took the initiative to say: "That's right, 'The Creator' also can't solve it. As far as I know, no god in the current real world can solve that corruption."
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill down their spines!
"Unsolvable corruption" sounded very terrifying.
Emlyn couldn't help but ask: "Why is this happening?"
"Because 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' is very special among the Outer Gods." Hobert explained vaguely: "Only existences at the level of Outer Deities can possibly remove Her corruption."
Although other Outer Deities corruption also have such requirements, for people like Klein and Hobert who can mobilize the power of Sefirah, the corruption outside the Pillars can be transferred to other things through some clever methods.
Although it is said that it cannot be solved, there is still a lot of room for manipulation.
The corruption of the Pillars does not even have such room for manipulation.
Cattleya suddenly said: "This suddenly reminds me of the corruption suffered by Emperor Roselle, that is to say, even if the Great Emperor is resurrected, he will still be corrupted by the 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', right?"
"To be precise, unless there is help from other Outer Deities, the corruption on Roselle's body cannot be removed at all." Hobert said:
"We even speculate that Roselle may have realized that the corruption was appearing in his body again, so he did not complete the resurrection process."
Hearing this news, Cattleya was a little nervous, a little excited, and finally a little helpless.
The other members were a little surprised. They didn't expect this question to involve Emperor Roselle!
Klein manipulated "The World" and asked: "Are you suspecting that Roselle avoided being completely corrupted, so he trapped himself in the last mausoleum?"
"It is very possible." Hobert said seriously: "This is also the most reasonable explanation."
Cattleya quickly asked: "How can we help Emperor Roselle completely remove the corruption?"
"Pray!" Hobert said.
"Pray to whom?"
"Not praying to anyone." Hobert took a deep breath: "Pray that 'The Creator' or Mr. Fool will recover to their full strength as soon as possible."
Alger felt a sudden throb in his heart: That is to say, "The Creator" and "The Fool" were both previously at the level of Great Old Ones!
Although he had already guessed this, he was still a little excited to suddenly confirm his guess.
The other members had similar thoughts to Alger. At the beginning, everyone thought that Mr. Fool was a god. Ever since "The Emperor" said that Mr. Fool was the Celestial Worthy, everyone knew that Mr. Fool was originally Great Old Ones.
And the alliance between "The Creator" and Mr. Fool turned out to be a cooperation between two Great Old Ones!
Cattleya was surprised for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and saying: "I understand."
She noticed that many of the information exchanged just now could be brought to the real world.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, Cattleya asked: "Can I tell others the information just now? Um, just tell one person outside the Tarot Club."
Hobert spread his hands: "I have no objection."
The Fool at the head of the bronze table did not express his position, which meant he acquiesced.
Cattleya smiled and said: "Thank you."
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Leonard asked Hobert: "I just heard that the Duchy of Southern Balam once helped the Kingdom of Loen defend Pritz Harbor? And successively resisted three attacks by the main fleet of the Feysac Empire?"
Emlyn was slightly stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
Hobert replied: "That's right, otherwise, why do you think the Loen royal family would be willing to move those universities to the Duchy of Southern Balam?"
Because this transaction has ended, it can be announced at the Tarot Club.
The other members except Audrey and Fors understood. So this was the transaction between the Kingdom of Loen and the Duchy of Southern Balam!
Before, they were still wondering why the Loen royal family would be willing to move those first-class universities to the affiliated country when the war was still far away from Backlund?
"I understand." Leonard nodded. He had some guesses when he got this information, and today he asked to confirm it.
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Cattleya started a new topic: "I got a message that someone encountered the 'Sanguine Ancestor' on Oravi Island!"
Emlyn immediately leaned forward: "We have also received similar news. If you have a channel, please help us inquire. We will definitely reward you handsomely."
He heard that after getting this news, Duke Olmer of the Sanguine had already taken people to Oravi Island, but he has not found any clues about the "Ancestor" so far.
Cattleya nodded: "I will pay attention to it for you."
Alger said: "Could it be that someone is impersonating the 'Sanguine Ancestor'?"
He spread his hands: "Otherwise, after Her revival, why didn't She seek out the members of the Sanguine? Instead, She appeared on an island in the Berserk Sea."
Emlyn frowned. Many within the Sanguine harbored similar doubts.
"The 'Sanguine Ancestor' has indeed been resurrected," Hobert said at this moment with a very certain tone.
"Really? Mr. Emperor?" Emlyn felt a sudden jolt at this point: "The Ancestor, could it be that you've captured the Ancestor as well?"
Hobert had a 'previous record' on this issue.
"That's the 'Sanguine Ancestor.'" Hobert smiled: "How could I possibly capture Her?"
He said: "When your Ancestor was resurrected, I was by Her side, so I can tell you with certainty that She has indeed been resurrected!"
The other members were all stunned. The resurrections of both the "Blood Moon Queen" and the "Sanguine Ancestor" were encountered by the "Emperor." Could this be a coincidence?
Emlyn was also stunned for a moment before asking: "Then the Ancestor, why hasn't the Ancestor contacted our Sanguine?"
"You'll know this later." Hobert said: "In the upcoming Beyonder war, you should be able to encounter your Ancestor, because She has agreed to help me deal with the 'Rose School of Thought.'"
Emlyn stood up excitedly, then sat down, then stood up again: "I understand, I understand."
Then he asked several questions about Lilith, all of which Hobert brushed off, saying he didn't know.
After this topic ended, no new topic was started for more than ten seconds, so Klein announced the end of the gathering.
Hobert returned to the real world, sat in the chair by his desk, and just as he stretched, he heard the butler, Corliss, outside: "Duke, a Mr. Medici is looking for you and has been waiting in the living room for more than ten minutes."
Hobert thought he had misheard: "Med-what?"
