"Very experienced, indeed worthy of the Admiral of Stars whose reputation has spread across the seas for many years." Klein sighed in his heart.
Immediately, he leaned back slightly against the chair, maintaining his relaxed posture, and casually said, "Your rescue reward will be paid by the Tower."
Leyton, who was sitting in a nearby seat, was stunned for a moment. He instinctively looked at Klein at the head of the mottled long table, opened his mouth, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help, esteemed Mr. Fool, I will pay an equivalent reward for this!"
I'm just watching the show, and I still have to perform with you guys. It's like a civet cat planting melons in a melon field!
"The Fool?"
"I've heard your esteemed name from Mr. Z of the Aurora Order."
Cattleya grasped the key point from Leyton and Klein's conversation just now and carefully chose her words to say.
Then, she looked at the blurry figure in front of her and said with a very sincere tone, "Thank you very much for your help. I wonder what kind of reward you need for this? If possible, I am willing to pay on your behalf."
Leyton straightened his body and chuckled, "A reward? Just consider it my fare on the Future."
Future… He once stayed on the Future, no wonder I felt familiar. Cattleya quickly sifted through various figures in her mind, and soon, she locked onto her target.
She carefully opened her mouth, "Are you Al?"
Leyton nodded slightly and smiled, "Long time no see, Captain!"
Cattleya's previously tense mood eased slightly. Then, she asked with curiosity, "How did you know I encountered a Mystery Pryer and timely requested Mr. Fool's help?"
Klein sat leisurely in the high-backed chair, his gaze fixed on Leyton. He was ready to take over the question directly if the other party couldn't answer it.
At most, it would be that Mr. Fool holds authority in the ocean domain, and it's normal for him to know the situation of a Pirate Admiral drifting on the sea. Anyway, I have the sea god scepter, and performing corresponding miracles is not impossible.
Leyton rested his hands on the bronze long table in front of him and said with a slight sigh, "This is just a coincidence. I just happened to have some matters to report to Mr. Fool."
"Your astrolabe, it was crafted by Roselle the Great, and it can establish a certain connection with this place. This is the main reason you were able to receive Mr. Fool's help."
Astrolabe? An item crafted by the Great Emperor? So, Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man must have had similar items with them back then, and that's why I was able to pull them onto this Gray Fog?
Does the Great Emperor also have some connection with this Gray Fog, related to transmigration? Could it be that Roselle and I were both brought to this world by Sefirah Castle? And Al was brought over by Knowledge Moor?
Klein's emotions surged uncontrollably, and thoughts kept floating in his mind, but under the concealment of the Gray Fog, none of this was obvious.
Items made by Roselle the Great can establish a certain connection with this place! As thoughts floated, her gaze towards The Fool at the head of the mottled long table subtly changed.
Her first reaction was to tell Queen Mystic this news, as it was something she had been pursuing.
A moment later, she reined in her thoughts, subtly observed her surroundings, focusing on the other empty seats, and finally, respectfully and cautiously asked the figure at the head, "Esteemed Mr. Fool, are there other people here?"
Klein reined in his emotions and said in a calm voice, "Some people similar to you. They have established a fixed gathering, and I am the witness."
Cattleya said with almost no hesitation, "May I participate?"
Since I have already established a connection with this Fool, why not take the opportunity to learn more… The fact that items made by Roselle the Great can establish a certain connection with this place certainly isn't simple. Perhaps, the Great Emperor himself once sat in one of these positions.
Klein leaned back slightly against the chair, his voice leisurely, "You may."
"Without permission, you must not disclose anything."
"Okay!" Cattleya nodded lightly, responding without hesitation.
Leyton leaned lazily in the high-backed chair, his right hand propped on his chin, slightly distracted. With the captain's personality, once she leaves the Gray Fog, certain information from just now will appear in Bernadette's hands within an hour. That one hour is her struggling and carefully choosing her words.
Klein tapped the table gently with his right hand, making a thudding sound.
A set of Tarot cards, with existing codenames removed, was materialized and floated above the bronze long table.
"They use Tarot cards as codenames. These are the remaining ones."
"You can choose one."
So Mr. Fool just called Al "Tower." Cattleya's gaze swept over Leyton, paused briefly on the Tarot cards floating on the table, and then she directly said, "Hermit!"
Leyton immediately withdrew his right hand from the table. The materialized Tarot cards then disappeared. Covered by the Gray Fog, he said leisurely and calmly, "Backlund time, every Monday at 3 PM."
"Okay." Cattleya nodded lightly, responding with a very serious tone.
Seeing that Klein intended to let Cattleya leave, Leyton immediately sat up straight and leaned slightly forward, saying, "I look forward to our next meeting, Ms. Hermit~"
As soon as his voice fell, with a crimson glow, Cattleya's figure instantly disappeared from this Gray Fog.
Leyton leaned back against the chair, returning to his previous lazy posture, and turned his head to the figure of Klein, shrouded in Gray Fog at the head of the table, saying, "The captain of the Future has appeared. When do you plan to go to sea?"
"Or, is it simpler to pray to the Evernight Goddess?"
"My identity in the Church is already that of a dead man."
Klein responded calmly.
Leyton nodded lightly, not exposing Klein's thoughts, and instead said, "There's a passage to the Forsaken Land of the Gods in the Ruins of Gods."
"If the time is right, I can go to that sea area with you."
The Ruins of Gods has a passage to the Forsaken Land of the Gods… This means that there's no normal way to enter or leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods. No wonder the City of Silver's explorations for over a thousand years yielded nothing.
Klein's figure, shrouded in Gray Fog, showed a hint of solemnity. He frowned slightly and looked at Leyton, "You plan to go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods?"
"What's there?"
He felt that, given Leyton's personality, he wouldn't suddenly want to go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods. It was more likely that something appealing to him existed there.
Klein's question made Leyton instinctively think of Amon wandering in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and he blurted out, "There's Amon—many Amons."
"..." Klein was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to respond.
After a brief silence, Leyton continued from before, "I plan to go to the Forsaken Land of the Gods to look for Beyonder characteristics of high Sequences from the Mystery Pryer and Savant Pathways, and by the way, collect some faith to prepare for possible Future needs."
"The City of Silver?" Klein's first thought was the City of Silver, which was the only human city-state he knew of that was still struggling to survive in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Leyton shook his head slightly, then pondered and said, "I discussed this issue with Sasrir. In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, besides the City of Silver, there are several other human settlements. Some are under the protection of the True Creator, and some wander in the deep Darkness."
"True Creator? Protecting the survivors of the Forsaken Land of the Gods?"
Klein felt it was somewhat unbelievable. This was completely different from the image of an evil god he had in mind.
Even though he already knew that the True Creator was the remnant of the Ancient Sun God who once led the rise of humanity in this world, He was already mad, closer to the evil spirit of that Ancient Sun God.
Leyton leaned diagonally against the chair, his right hand rubbing the edge of the mottled long table, and said with a sigh, "Although He is mad, as long as one is not a Beyonder of the Secrets Supplicant Pathway, and as long as one does not actively approach Him and listen to His voice, there will not be too much danger."
"Even the Aurora Order, their mad actions are more for the purpose of allowing the True Creator to break through the seals left by the Seven Deities in the Forsaken Land of the Gods and descend into reality. Other than that, they are no different from those other Churches."
