At the desk in his bedroom, he pulled out a chair and sat down, casually picking up a round-bellied steel pen and writing his reply in the blank space at the bottom of the letterhead:
"That Crimson Queen is likely a Beyonder of the Apothecary Pathway. The Sequence 4 of this Pathway is called a Shaman King, and they are also skilled in curses and Darkness spells."
"The Rose School of Thought already has some Followers of the Primordial Moon, so it's not too surprising for them to send a Shaman King to take over the Blood Pirate Group. A Shaman King's survivability, to some extent, is stronger than a Puppet of the same Sequence."
"The Nagas' actions of starting to learn should be a trial by Adamantine Veer. Perhaps in the future, you will gain the title of Naga Mentor."
After writing his reply, Leyton put down his pen and leaned back against the chair, pondering the matters of the Rose School of Thought.
If that Crimson Queen was indeed a Shaman King, he could bring the Sanguine in to muddy the waters, or perhaps the Church of the Earth Mother? They certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to strike at the Primordial Moon Believers.
After a moment of thought, Leyton directly closed his eyes and chanted The Fool's honorific name:
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era; the Mysterious Ruler above the Gray Fog; the King of Yellow and Black Who Wields Good Luck."
"Esteemed Mr. Fool, please help me relay to Mr. Moon that a pirate calling herself the Crimson Queen has appeared on the sea. She has re-established the Blood Pirate Group of the Admiral of Blood. She comes from the Rose School of Thought and is suspected to be a Shaman King."
"I would like to ask him to help me inquire with the Sanguine, or the Church of the Earth Mother, to confirm some information about this Crimson Queen. If possible, I will try to turn her into a Beyonder characteristic and bring her to the subsequent Tarot Club."
Above the Gray Fog, Klein, who had just responded to the prayers of the "Sea God" believers and was about to leave this Gray Fog, suddenly heard layers of illusory prayers.
As he looked up, the crimson star representing Leyton was constantly expanding and contracting, and ripples of crimson Red Light were spreading out.
He just finished the Tarot Club, so why is he praying? He didn't make any deals with anyone, did he? Did he get into a fight with someone again?
After a slight ponder, Klein extended his spirituality and touched the crimson star representing Leyton.
The crimson Red Light surged like a tide, quickly submerging the surroundings, and then rapidly receded after spreading, condensing the scene of Leyton sitting back in his chair and praying, his words of prayer echoing clearly in his ears.
Rose School of Thought Shaman King? Why inquire with the Church of the Earth Mother or the Sanguine? They probably don't even know about this newly appeared Crimson Queen on the sea... Does he want to pull the Sanguine and the Church of the Earth Mother in to confuse the Rose School of Thought's judgment?
Bringing a Beyonder characteristic to the Tarot Club really means everyone has a chance to attend the gathering, just some in the form of a Beyonder characteristic.
After a moment of thought, Klein casually materialized a Loen gold coin and silently chanted in his heart: "The Crimson Queen is a Shaman King."
With a clang, the gold coin was flicked into the air and quickly fell, caught by his outstretched hand.
Klein slowly opened his palm, the gold coin's portrait facing up, which indicated affirmation!
With the blessing of the Gray Fog, this divination result is highly likely to be reliable... With a slight sigh, Klein looked up at the crimson star representing Leyton, then extended his spirituality, sending the prayer scene and sound from just now into the crimson star symbolizing Moon Emlyn.
In the Harvest Church in South Backlund.
After the Tarot Club, Emlyn stayed in the room where the clergy rested for a moment before walking out.
Although more people came to pray at Harvest Church after the Backlund Great Smog incident, it was only relative to its previous desertedness.
Just like now, Emlyn walked into the prayer hall, where there was only the mountain-like giant Father Utravsky, who, as always, sat upright before the Holy Emblem of Life, praying with his eyes slightly closed.
Emlyn curled his lips in disdain, then slowly curved the corners of his mouth, his brows and eyes filled with a smile as he approached.
Just now at the Tarot Club, he had silenced the Sun with his questions, regaining his lost face from before, which put him in a very good mood.
He lightly coughed twice, and seeing that Father Utravsky, who had been praying, had already opened his eyes, he then said with a slight tilt of his chin:
"Father, what do you pray for every day before the Holy Emblem of Life? Do you really have so many things to pray to Mother... to the Earth Mother for?"
Father Utravsky looked at Emlyn calmly, and said in a gentle voice:
"Prayer is a part of life. It allows me to feel peaceful and to experience the joy of life and harvest."
"You're in a good mood today."
"But that's not a reason for you to disturb the prayer of a devout believer."
Emlyn's face stiffened, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply. After stammering for a while, he finally said:
"Just consider me seeking confession from you. As a Father, you can't refuse the confession of a potential believer, can you?"
Father Utravsky slowly shook his head, his voice becoming a bit more serious as he said:
"You haven't made a mistake, you don't need confession."
"I..." Emlyn opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The next moment, a thick Gray Fog suddenly surged into his vision, with crimson Red Light pouring out of the Gray Fog like a tide.
Having experienced this before, Emlyn immediately realized, "Mr. Fool," could it be that the Hanged Man has already obtained that Sanguine Baron's inheritance? Was what he said at the Tarot Club about a week just an excuse?
As Emlyn pondered, the crimson Red Light surging from the Gray Fog condensed into Leyton's blurred figure, leaning back in a chair, praying softly to The Fool:
"Esteemed Mr. Fool, please help me relay to Mr. Moon that a pirate calling herself the Crimson Queen has appeared on the sea. She has re-established the Blood Pirate Group of the Admiral of Blood. She comes from the Rose School of Thought and is suspected to be a Shaman King."
"I would like to ask him to help me inquire with the Sanguine, or the Church of the Earth Mother, to confirm some information about this Crimson Queen. If possible, I will try to turn her into a Beyonder characteristic and bring her to the subsequent Tarot Club."
Tower! It's indeed this guy, hmph! I was so foolish to go to him for advice... Although the image condensed by Klein was just a blurred figure, Emlyn, who was already familiar with the other party, easily recognized Leyton's identity.
But what is the Crimson Queen? The Blood Pirate Group... Hmm, the Hanged Man seemed to have mentioned it at the previous Tarot Club, that all the pirates on that ship mysteriously disappeared... So the Blood Pirate Group was backed by the Rose School of Thought.
He's drifting at sea, but he wants me to inquire with the Church of the Earth Mother or the Sanguine, what is he thinking? While muttering to himself, the thick Gray Fog in his vision had already dissipated. Emlyn turned his head to look at Father Utravsky, hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Father, I heard that a pirate calling herself the Crimson Queen has appeared on the sea. She has re-gathered the Blood Pirate Group of the Admiral of Blood, and seems to be a Shaman King. What do you think?"
Father Utravsky looked up at Emlyn, the confusion in his eyes self-evident:
"You've been staying in Backlund, how do you know so clearly about news from the sea?"
"Cough, cough~" Emlyn coughed twice uncomfortably under the gaze, frowning slightly then relaxing. He tilted his chin and said:
"This is news I heard at a Sanguine gathering. They don't seem very sure if that Crimson Queen is a Shaman King."
Father Utravsky scrutinized Emlyn, clearly not quite believing his excuse. Before Emlyn could find a new excuse, he opened his mouth and chuckled:
"As for a Shaman King, you Sanguine should know more about it. This is equivalent to a Sanguine Count."
After saying this, Father Utravsky closed his eyes and began to pray again.
Emlyn curled his lips to the side. Of course, he knew that Shaman King was just another name for a Sanguine Count, but he also didn't interrupt the other party's prayer.
