"The Church of the Evernight Goddess should have already started clearing out the residual effects at the East Docks, right? "
The repeated descent of the True Creator and Hidden Sage's aura would definitely have some impact on the people living nearby.
Lanevus's matter was over, but Leyton felt his favorability with the Evernight Goddess was already precarious.
Leyton, who had originally wanted to build a good relationship with the Evernight Goddess, sighed slightly, stood up from his chair, and prepared to find some breakfast.
At this moment, his own spirituality was touched again, and a pale yellow piece of paper drifted down from the Spirit World.
Leyton caught the letter, curious about who would write to him so early. He quickly unfolded the letter:
My dear friend:
The Captain wants you to do her a favor and help her investigate the reason for the Hidden Sage's brief descent in Backlund last night.
Regardless of whether you complete it, the Captain will help you find the Wind-Blessed Beyonder Potion formula within a week.
The Captain asked me to remind you that if you find the matter too dangerous, you should immediately abandon the investigation and prioritize your own safety.
My personal suggestion is that you just inquire about some information to satisfy the Captain. Events involving the descent of an evil god are too dangerous, and it is not suitable for ordinary Beyonders like us to participate.
Your friend at sea: Frank.
Leyton looked at the letter Frank had written to him with quite a bit of surprise, not expecting Cattleya to ask him to help investigate the Hidden Sage's brief descent last night.
"How should I perfunctorily deal with this? I wonder if this is Bernadette's task, or the Moses Ascetic Order's, or both? "
Leyton rubbed his chin with his right hand, pondering deeply for a moment.
As for the Hidden Sage's brief descent, Leyton was not at all surprised that Cattleya knew so quickly and even entrusted him with the investigation.
The Moses Ascetic Order and Bernadette are both of the Mystery Pryer pathway, and they must have additional perception when it comes to matters involving the Hidden Sage.
He then walked to the study, picked up a quill, and wrote a reply to Frank:
I understand. I will reply to you through the Book Messenger in a couple of days.
During this time, tell the Captain not to sail the Future too far, or to summon my Book Messenger when she reaches a fixed location so it can pinpoint you.
Your friend in Backlund: Al.
He then summoned the Book Messenger and handed over the written letter.
After putting the paper back on himself, the Book Messenger quickly disappeared into the Spirit World.
"Tsk~ an unexpected gain. " He sighed softly.
Leyton had originally given up on finding the Wind-Blessed formula for Hanged Man Alger, but he didn't expect things to take a turn with the Captain. He just didn't know if this formula came from the Moses Ascetic Order or Queen Mystic.
When today's newspaper arrived, Leyton found no news about the East Byerly Docks from last night, which seemed to have been suppressed by the Church of the Evernight Goddess.
Backlund had a rare sunny day today. Leyton moved the small coffee table and chairs to the balcony, enjoying the rare sunshine and reading a book he had borrowed from Mr. Hughes.
Time quickly came to the afternoon, exactly three o'clock Backlund time, and a crimson, tide-like light quickly submerged Leyton's vision.
Crimson lights rose within the magnificent and ancient palace, outlining several blurry figures.
Miss Justice, in a good mood, stood up, curtsied, and greeted Mr. The Fool at the head of the table:
"Good afternoon, Mr. The Fool. "
"The 'simple' task you entrusted has been completed. "
Leyton glanced at Miss Justice to his front-side. She had emphasized "simple," which seemed to indicate she had received some information about Lanevus's death and wanted to probe if it was the work of a certain Tarot Club member.
Klein, sitting at the head of the table, shrouded in gray fog, also noticed Miss Justice's slight probing in her words. He spoke indifferently:
"I already know. "
Then, he spoke with a sighing tone:
"Such an era, such a place, is truly a breeding ground for the descent of evil gods! "
"This is an inevitable process of civilization advancing. "
Leyton, who had been listening quietly from his seat, interjected with a sigh of emotion. This abrupt action made everyone turn their gaze towards him.
In the perception of Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man, such an abrupt interjection when facing a great existence seemed very offensive.
Klein, sitting at the head of the table, shrouded in gray fog, listened with interest to the insights of his fellow countryman:
"Like past history, this era will eventually be replaced by a new one, when the tide of the era arrives! "
"A new era? " Klein muttered to himself internally. For some reason, this sentence touched him.
"The tide of the era? "
Miss Justice Audrey asked curiously.
But Leyton did not answer. The latter sentence was only added because he saw that everyone's attention had been drawn by his sudden emotion.
In front of Miss Justice, who was of the Spectator Pathway, Leyton did not want to discuss too much about the topic of the tide of the era.
Little Sun, sitting to Leyton's right, was a bit bewildered; he didn't understand these terms very well.
Hanged Man Alger, on the other hand, began a brainstorming session in his mind.
The tide of the era? A new era...
Every change of era is accompanied by a war that sweeps across the world. Does Tower mean that a war will break out again in the not-too-distant Future?
Has the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom discovered some clues, or is this what they planned...?
After knowing that White Tower was a Beyonder of the Reader Pathway and had good strength, Hanged Man concluded that he was a member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Low-Sequence Beyonder Potion are easy to flow out, but at mid-to-high Sequences, Beyonder Potion formulas are basically firmly controlled by major churches and organizations.
Klein, shrouded in gray fog, pondered for a moment, then tapped the table with his finger. After everyone looked over, he spoke softly with an unclear meaning in his tone:
"This is the inevitability of the era; no one can avoid it. "
Klein originally just wanted to respond to Leyton's words to maintain his majestic image as the The Fool.
But then he saw the change in the spiritual light on Leyton's body through his Spirit Vision, which meant that his words had a great impact on the other party.
Leyton sat in his seat expressionlessly, arms crossed, pondering the flag Klein had set for everyone present.
He thought of the title "Beacon of Destiny" corresponding to Sefirah Castle, and he always felt that Klein's unintentional remark was influenced by this aspect.
Seeing Leyton lost in thought, Klein manipulated his alt account, World, to steer the conversation back to the direction he wanted:
"Heh! I've seen some investigation reports; some factory workers can barely live past five years, right here in Backlund, in the East Borough, Dock District, and factory areas. "
"People there basically won't have a third generation; poverty and hunger cause their lives to wither quickly. "
Mr. World's words made Miss Justice, who had grown up in Backlund since childhood, find it difficult to adapt. These were things she had never encountered, but she knew that they should all be true.
She somewhat understood why Mr. The Fool would say that this era, such a place, would be a breeding ground for the descent of evil gods.
Audrey instinctively felt that this could not continue, otherwise, one day, Backlund would be destroyed because of it, swept away by the tide of the era, as Mr. Tower had said.
Miss Justice suddenly felt that Mr. Tower, who had always appeared rational and kind, had long anticipated all of this, and that he was on the side of the new era.
Looking at Miss Justice, who was deep in thought, Klein, shrouded in gray fog, nodded slightly in satisfaction internally. He guided the topic in this direction precisely to promote the kingdom's reform indirectly through Miss Justice, who was a noble.
The initial exchange of the Tarot Club came to an end. Under the gaze of the The Fool, Hanged Man Alger materialized the last page of the Roselle diary.
Klein took the diary materialized by Hanged Man out of thin air and casually glanced at it.
The content of this diary page was related to the law of Convergence of illegal characteristics, which was information already obtained from Al, but it also served as a side confirmation.
"There are three Pathways related to Sefirah Castle, so I will continue to encounter Beyonders or related events of the Marauder and Apprentice Pathway in the Future, or perhaps I already have, but I just didn't notice. "
Klein pondered for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the second diary entry behind, where he saw a sentence that he didn't know how to lament or describe.
"January 16th, the taste of a Demoness is not bad! "
After reading all the diary entries, Klein made the materialized diary disappear, then leaned back slightly and spoke softly:
"You may now communicate freely. "
Leyton immediately leaned forward, slightly raising his right hand and saying:
"Mr. Hanged Man, the Wind-Blessed Beyonder Potion formula you need can be given to you within this week. You can consider preparing gold pounds, or items of corresponding value, Mystical Item, and materials for exchange. "
Before Hanged Man could speak in surprise, Leyton continued:
"My remuneration as an intermediary is simple: that page of Roselle's diary just now! "
Because in the perception of Hanged Man and the others, no one else could decipher Emperor Roselle's unique script except Mr. The Fool, they were quite casual when materializing it.
Leyton, not far away, "happened" to see the phrase, "The taste of a Demoness is not bad! "
Klein, sitting at the head of the table, shrouded in gray fog, subtly changed his expression. He guessed that Leyton had seen the content on that page of the Roselle diary.
"Given Al's personality, he's probably not interested in the Card of Blasphemy information, but rather that phrase 'the taste of a Demoness is not bad.' Emperor, your reputation might be ruined. "
