Magician Fors's eyes widened, full of disbelief. This was absolutely the most shocking thing she had heard since becoming a Beyonder—a miracle of resurrection!
No wonder Gehrman Sparrow was so crazy; it turned out he wasn't afraid of death at all. How enviable!
Justice Audrey also looked at The World Gehrman Sparrow with unconcealed surprise, then turned her head slightly towards the top of the mottled long table:
The Fool's posture hadn't changed at all, which indicated that this miracle of resurrection wasn't difficult for Him? Resurrection—that was something even the Seven Deities couldn't do!
But why did The World say it was an advance? Was this a special ability that only came with a certain Sequence in his Pathway? How enviable!
The Hermit lowered her head slightly, thinking of something. When she was with Queen Mystic, she had heard her describe a Sequence called "Miracle Invoker." At the time, it was described with this phrase: Resurrection is a miracle!
Is this the Pathway The Fool controls? I can write to the Queen later and ask her; she has a deep understanding of these secret matters.
Is this why you could reappear after being killed by Ince Zangwill? "Star" Leonard looked at The World with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, and said:
"I will ask Him. It might not be easy. He's still a bit angry about the last incident, and He might take the opportunity to extort a sum. I'll try my best to persuade Him."
Klein, controlling the small "The World," nodded in response: "No problem, this is not the only option."
Then he looked at Magician Fors and said:
"Help me ask the Abraham Family if they still have any Star Worms whose spirituality hasn't completely dissipated. If so, what do they need in exchange?"
Leyton raised a hand, interrupting Klein: "No need to bother writing a letter to ask. I can tell you directly: no."
"The Worm of Star is somewhat different from the Worm of Spirit and the Worm of Time. It cannot be used for parasitism or controlling others, so naturally, few Secrets Sorcerers would separate their own Star Worms. After all, under normal circumstances, no one would cut off their own flesh with a knife."
Klein nodded, sighing inwardly, then had The World turn his gaze to "Chariot" Anderson:
"When do you plan to undertake the commission to hunt down Saint of Secrets Botis?"
"Huh?" Anderson was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected the topic to shift to him at all, but seeing Gehrman Sparrow staring at him with a serious gaze, he still cleared his throat and said:
"I'm still gathering information. The war in the Southern Continent has intensified recently, and an experienced and capable Iron-Blooded Knight like me will inevitably attract attention from many parties. It's not easy to find a suitable opportunity to act."
"I'll be going to the Southern Continent soon," Azik, who had been sitting quietly listening, suddenly spoke up.
What exactly did this Saint of Secrets do? Why does everyone want to kill him?
Anderson was slightly stunned, then chuckled: "After today's gathering, I'll organize the information and then formulate a detailed plan to ensure that those Lunatics who like to play human bombs don't discover any issues."
Azik nodded gently, withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his chair, and continued to be a quiet Listener.
This Anderson fellow is so realistic… Klein muttered inwardly, letting The World lower his head and become silent, as if he had finished his instructions and they could continue.
With no one else initiating commissions, the Tarot Club smoothly entered the free exchange segment.
Sun Derrick was the first to speak:
"Everyone, we, the City of Silver, have begun our exploration of the Giant King's Court. We have already departed from Afternoon Town and reached the edge of the Giant King's Court, preparing to rest before beginning the exploration."
"What does the Giant King's Court look like?" Magician Fors asked with some curiosity.
Sun Derrick wanted to describe it directly but found that he didn't have many words to think of, making it difficult to describe the magnificence of the Giant King's Court he had seen. So, he prayed to The Fool, materializing the scene of the Giant King's Court he had witnessed.
Everyone briefly immersed themselves in the splendor and grandeur of the ancient god's divine kingdom. After The Fool withdrew the image, they continued to discuss the exploration of the Giant King's Court for a while, until the Tarot Club concluded.
As crimson lights soared, within the grand and ancient palace hall, only Klein's figure remained, leaning back in the high-backed chair at the top of the mottled long table.
Backlund, beneath Saint Samuel Cathedral.
After today's Tarot Club, Leonard found Pallez, who was parasitic on him, and informed him of his observations and Klein's questions.
Finally, he added: "Old man, what do you plan to exchange for the Worm of Time with Klein?"
Pallez snorted, saying in a not-so-good tone: "Why should I give that impolite little fellow a Worm of Time? He can perfectly seek the help of The Fool. That can also Fool the rules and modify his resurrection location."
Pallez's answer made Leonard feel somewhat helpless, and he could only continue to persuade: "Then you wouldn't gain anything, would you? Don't you want another one or two 'Yesterday Once More' talismans?"
"Gain? Do you really think your former colleague only wants to borrow the Worm of Time to make a fraudulent talisman to help himself escape?"
"Then why does he want two, not one?"
Pallez's tone carried a hint of disappointment, as if scolding him for not being up to par.
Leonard was stunned, saying with some confusion: "Isn't it just to be safer? What if the talisman fails?"
Pallez snorted, saying impatiently: "According to your description, he is also seeking a Worm of Star. Together, they are supplementary ingredients for a Sequence 2 potion. Plus, the City of Silver you described—they perfectly meet the requirements for the Miracle Invoker's advancement ritual."
"Moreover, as far as I know, there should be a Dark Demonic Wolf wandering in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. For someone who wants to advance to Miracle Invoker, that is a natural material. The Fool is not just ordinarily taking care of your former colleague."
Leonard was stunned, momentarily unable to react. The predicament Klein originally faced had, in the old man's words, become The Fool's favor towards him!
After a two-second pause, he said hesitantly: "But Klein's situation is still dangerous, and he was previously used as a vessel for The Fool and Amon's struggle."
Pallez chuckled, saying in a tone that implied it was nothing: "But that also allowed him to successfully reach the Forsaken Land of the Gods, didn't it?"
"Moreover, with the 'miracle' advanced by The Fool, dying once or twice is not a problem at all. You know, among the 22 Pathways, the hardest to kill are those timid Seers."
Leonard tried to digest the information in Pallez's words, remaining silent for a long while before he spoke again:
"Old man, since The Fool had a conflict with Amon, it's normal for Him to have some Worms of Time. Klein doesn't necessarily have to trade with you."
"You've finally gotten a bit smarter," Pallez exclaimed, and then continued: "Two angel-level 'Yesterday Once More' talismans. If your former colleague agrees, I'll give him two Worms of Time."
In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, on the outskirts of the Giant King's Court, the City of Silver's exploration team was resting in a temporary camp, preparing for the subsequent exploration.
In Sun Derrick's vision, as he sat by the campfire, a dense gray fog suddenly emerged, and the prayers of The World Gehrman Sparrow echoed in his ears…
The gray fog in his vision quickly dispersed. Derrick remained sitting on the stone slab as if nothing had happened, pondering how to leave the team and perform the ritual of seeking a boon.
The World found a way to solve the predicament so quickly; he's truly amazing. However, I'm currently in the exploration team and can't act alone. I can only discuss it with the chief.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the chief, who was sitting cross-legged beneath a half-collapsed stone wall, then quickly got up and approached him.
Above Asak city in the Northern State, in a place invisible to the naked eye, a verdant forest woven from countless vines slowly wriggled. Dark, sticky liquid continuously seeped out, staining the originally green vines with mottled red rust, and sulfur-smelling flames ignited.
Leyton's figure silently appeared beneath the forest. He held a slowly rotating ball of stardust in his right hand, and Stars emerged all around, densely packed and dazzling.
Pure and clear light intertwined, completely Purifying the verdant forest, which had been corrupted by the aura and power of the Abyss, dissolving it into nothingness.
Having done all this, Leyton's figure flickered, and he appeared directly in the city on the ground.
"The 'Dark Side of the Universe's' attempt to break free from control and corruption instead allowed the Mother Goddess of Depravity to gain a deeper control over the Abyss."
"With all this 'filth' and 'curses,' if this continues, the Southern Continent won't be able to withstand the torment."
After muttering to himself for a few moments, his spiritual intuition was suddenly touched. A light yellow letter drifted down from the Spirit World, which he reached out and caught, unfolding it before him.
The handwriting on the letter wasn't neat; each word was written very large, revealing a sense of casualness and nonchalance.
Leyton quickly scanned the contents of the letter, and his mouth twitched, finding it hard to comment: "Wanting me to help him find and contract some powerful spirits to digest the Spirit Warlock potion—this shortcut method definitely isn't something Leonard could have thought of himself."
