Bayam, the City of Generosity.
Just as the sun rose, a young man walked out of the hotel and leisurely admired the morning scenery of Bayam.
He had just bought a "Teyana" drink in a fruit shell from a vendor when he suddenly felt a large shadow appear beside him.
The young man turned his head and looked up a little bit, and found a half-giant who was nearly two meters and a half tall walking towards him.
"Sir, could you spare a moment of your time? I'd like to tell you about our beacon and our savior, Mr. Fool." The half-giant bent his back and tried to make his smile appear kind.
The young man took a sip of "Teyana" and pointed to the side, smiling and nodding.
"Okay, but not here."
He then walked to a place where he would not block others, and the half-giant who looked extremely oppressive also followed him gently.
"You can tell me now." The young man did not hide his curiosity at all.
"Our Lord resides above the physical and spiritual worlds, His mercy fills heaven and earth, and there are six angels standing beside His throne.
"The 'Mercury Angel' is the embodiment of fate and the Lord's most favored angel; the 'Angel of Death' is the being that has followed the Lord the longest and is the Archon of the Underworld; the 'Angel of Salvation' is the Lord's trumpet and the messenger of His oracles; the 'Angel of Life' is the crystallization of wisdom and the indelible spirit within every human being."
Hearing this, the young man laughed:
"Your Lord is truly powerful, having so many titled angels serving him."]
What a shameful disclosure!!!
Klein bent down and covered his face while no one was paying attention. A thousand screaming chickens were screaming inside him, and he almost lost control and collapsed into a ball of cat and worms.
Wow.
Azik didn't know what to say, nor did he know when he became the angel under the fool's seat.
At this time, a baby carriage suddenly appeared in space. Everyone didn't know whether to complain about why a baby came here or to say that Mr. Fool was so terrifying that he had so many angels serving him.
Anderson noticed that most people seemed familiar with this fool, and even had a hint of respect for him. He felt a chill in his heart, "Could I have fallen into a cult?"
Will Auceptin, lying in the stroller, was first surprised that he suddenly appeared in this space, and then he saw the content on the screen.
Will:...
"When did I become an angel under the fool's seat???"
What?? He is an angel??
Derrick looked at Will in confusion. "Could it be... that he isn't the angel serving Mr. Fool?" Were we mistaken?
At this moment, Hermann suddenly appeared on the screen.
[... Gehrman opened the Fool's Bible and was stunned for a few seconds before covering his face. Everyone saw that his ears were red.
He hadn't expressed his opinion on the Silver City Canon during the Tarot Club's discussion because it was a bit embarrassing. However, if he objected to certain descriptions, it would damage Mr. Fool's image.
"It's so shameful..."
"Perhaps one day, Will Auceptin will see the Holy Scriptures of the Church of the Fool and blurt out in surprise: When did I become an angel under the seat of the Fool?
"Then, Leonard's grandfather, Mr. Azik who has woken up, and the messenger who is trying to recover will all say: "What, me too?"
For a moment, there was silence in the space.
Silence filled the room.
Azık looked at his student on the screen with amusement and shook his head. He didn't expect Klein to use this as an excuse to drag him into this.
"But who exactly is that Fool..."
Mr. Azik, please stop talking!!! Klein covered his face, not daring to move. It was too embarrassing!
No, I am Merlin Hermes now. What does Gehrman Sparrow have to do with me, Merlin Hermes!
Thinking of this, he straightened up again and looked at the screen with confidence.
[... "The opposite of the 'Angel of Punishment' is the 'Angel of Time. He was the 'King' of ancient times, and ultimately submitted to our Lord, ringing the bell of heaven for Him.
"Amazing, awesome." The young man exclaimed sincerely.
"If I have time, I'll go take a look." After watching the half-giant turn and walk away, the young man smiled and pulled out a crystal monocle from his pocket and put it on his right eye.
So this is why Amon went to ring the bell for me!!!!
Klein didn't know whether to be moved by the people of Silver Cit
y's active promotion of the religion or to light a candle for himself.
Derrick and Alger exchanged glances. They hadn't expected that the news of the Silver City's missionary work would reach Amon, and that Amon would even know about it and be included in the list.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to see me this way... Dear Mr. Fool~* A familiar voice seemed to be speaking next to his ear. Klein, who was wearing Merlin's face, turned his head and saw a face that had just appeared on the screen.
Meow!!! Why is Amon here?!!!
Klein was so frightened that his fur stood on end. "Merlin's stinky socks that haven't been washed in a thousand years! Why is Amon here?!"
Amon squeezed his monocle happily, looking in a good mood.
*Please don't worry, the voice suddenly sounded. Klein looked at Amon warily and took a few steps back calmly. "He and you are not in the same space. Now only you can see Him."
"Your identity has not been revealed"
Amon raised his eyebrows and looked at Klein with a smile, indicating that he was absolutely natural and harmless.
Zhou Mingrui: You just covet my gold ingots!!
But it was undeniable that Klein felt relieved. It wasn't that he was afraid of Amon's possession (although he was indeed afraid :) ), but he was worried that if the Fool's identity was exposed here, the subsequent developments might not be what he wanted to see.
I hope there are more smart people here... and it would be best if they could help me cover up the lie.
Klein subconsciously looked at the Hanged Man, Alger. In his heart, Alger was the hope of the entire village, no, the entire castle.
Mr. Hanged Man really lived up to everyone's expectations!
"Could it be... that World Gehrman connected them...?" Alger rubbed his chin, his expression slightly solemn. He remembered that every time an angel under Mr. Fool solved a problem, there seemed to be a follower.
"Could it be that Mr. World knows so many angels?" Audrey glanced at Azik calmly. "If I remember correctly, the Mr. Azik mentioned above seems to be him... He's actually an angel on earth! I wonder which one he is mentioned in the scriptures..."
Audrey raised her head and secretly met the Tarot Club's gaze. "I didn't expect these angels to be related to Gehrman Sparrow! Mr. Fool could actually make such a Mr. World become his follower. Mr. Fool is so terrifying!"
Anderson curled his lips and muttered softly: "It seems that this fool is not that powerful..." He didn't finish his words because he suddenly remembered that this place seemed to be a cult nest.
When he raised his head, countless daggers swept across him. He shuddered and swallowed the rest of his words wisely.
Klein was satisfied with this scene, and even Amon seemed to be pleased with it (?)
Forget it
[...
In the city of Bayam, Bonn and Balder adjusted their positions with tears in their eyes, heading towards Philips Street and the church belonging to Mr. Fool, listening devoutly and gratefully to the sacred bells from heaven.
Above the gray fog, The Fool paused tapping his fingers on the table, and immediately cast his gaze towards the Church of the Fool at 16 Phillips Street.
Almost at the same time, with the help of the prayer light, He saw the tall bell tower attached to the church, and saw a young man wearing a pointed hat and a classical black robe standing on the top of the bell tower.
The young man was holding a black hammer and striking the bell again and again.
As if aware of the gaze from an infinite height, the young man stopped, raised his head slightly, and adjusted the crystal monocle on his right eye.
At the same time, the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
The Fool moved his fingers and transmitted this scene to Gehrman Sparrow.
Having successfully received the video, Gehrman's gaze was unconcealed, glazed over. He didn't quite understand why the "Angel of Time" Amon had suddenly appeared and was so earnestly ringing the bell of Mr. Fool's Church.
What is this?
Fors and Xio looked at each other and curled their lips. "The bell tolls for you?"
Derrick quickly thought of the contents of the Holy Scripture and knocked his head in self-blame. "I shouldn't have included Him in it..."
"Change it after you get out. Alger was silent for a while, rubbing his forehead.
Germann instantly thought of what was written in the Holy Scripture. He was silent for a long time, feeling bitter in his heart. On the surface, he prayed devoutly to the Fool: "Respected Mr. Fool, the Angel of Time Amon may have learned the contents of your Holy Scripture from somewhere..."
There was silence above the gray fog for a moment, and then, "Solve it."
"Yes." Gehrman breathed a sigh of relief and decided to turn around and hint to the Sun to transform the Time Angel in the Holy Scripture into Grandpa Pales in Leonard's body.
Amon and the others should be fired immediately!
This even has an original plot... Klein withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, then turned around and saw Amon waving at him, his scalp tingling.
"Mr. Fool, what do you think of my bell-ringing?
"Guna!!" This squid must be fried!!!
[The blood moon hangs high.
The young man sat at a table, a notebook open before him, its pages rough and yellowed. Before the inkwell, to the right of the notebook, a dark, round-bellied fountain pen sat quietly, its tip gleaming faintly. The pen cap rested beside a brass-colored revolver.
The young man raised his head. He had black hair and brown eyes, and had a distinctly scholarly air.
"Klein!" Melissa screamed
Klein? I seemed to have heard Mr. Star call him that last time in the Hall of Honesty...Is that Mr. World's original name?
Audrey speculated and turned her gaze to Leonard.
Leonard was also stunned. He didn't expect the camera to shift to Klein.
[The young man looked a little strange. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere around him had become so strange that he didn't look like a living person at the moment.
He held the pen for a long time without moving.
The bright light of the blood moon poured into the room, and the young man finally put pen to paper. It was a sentence written in Hermetic script!
"Everyone will die, including me."
Then he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Red and white things flowed out, and the young man gradually lost his life. He is dead.]
"No-!" Melissa wanted to rush over to stop him, but Benson held her back. Tears immediately flowed from her eyes. "This can't be true.... Klein..."
Benson's face was also full of pain, but he still looked at Melissa firmly, "Let's wait and see... maybe she will tell us the truth later..." His voice became bitter and hoarse.
Klein watched them quietly, a wave of sadness suddenly welling up in his heart. He wanted to comfort them, to tell Melissa and Benson that he wasn't dead. But the real Klein had indeed died that night, and the one who woke up was Zhou Mingrui from a distant era.
What's more, I am Merlin Hermes now...I have no right to contact them...He smiled bitterly, and a tear fell in a corner where no one could see.
Leonard finally remembered when this happened, "It's the Antigonus family's notebook!"
Azik had obviously thought of how Klein seemed very interested in the Fourth Epoch at the time, and had also mentioned that his friend had obtained a notebook that seemed to be from the Fourth Epoch.
Could it be that Mr. World had died and then come back to life? Audrey stared at the screen in confusion, suddenly wanting to know what was happening next.
[Outside the window, a blood moon bloomed. Above the gray fog, someone seemed to sigh. He knocked on the handrail.
The bloody hole in the young man's head slowly shrank, and the grayish-white brain matter could be faintly seen flowing. His fingers moved unconsciously, and the next second, the young man suddenly opened his eyes.
"What the hell," Danitz was shocked by the sight of the dead coming back to life. He leaned back tactically and looked back at the captain, wanting an explanation.
Not to mention Danitz, Edwina didn't know what was going on either. "Maybe... it's related to that being above the gray fog just now," she said cautiously.
Above the gray fog...isn't that Mr. Fool!
Alger's pupils trembled. He had never imagined that Mr. Fool could actually bring the dead back to life! So this Klein was also familiar?
Apparently, the other members of the Tarot Club had also thought of this. Their pupils trembled as they inwardly lamented how terrifying Mr. Fool was.
Russell narrowed his eyes. As a time traveler, he was certain that this fellow villager was released at this time!
The young man seemed a little confused. He subconsciously looked at the sentence in his notes, stood up in shock, and then sat back down due to inertia.
"I...Is this what I wrote?"
His eyes slowly moved to the pistol, then to the bloody handprint on the table.
The next second he staggered to the mirror, turned his head and saw the bloody hole. The grayish-white brain matter inside was slowly wriggling. When he touched it, his hand almost stabbed into his brain.
"With this wound...I'm still alive?" What happened?
The bloody hole was quickly repaired. Klein stood silently in front of the mirror. Soon, as if awakened from a dream, he muttered to himself, "Melissa will be back soon... I have to clean this up."
Melissa stared blankly at the screen, unconsciously clutching the corner of Benson's clothes. She had never imagined that something like this would happen that night!
"You...you're Klein's colleague, right?" She looked at Leonard, a hint of hope in her eyes. "Do you know why Klein committed suicide?"
Leonard saw her eyes and felt as if a huge stone was blocking his chest, almost suffocating him. "He was manipulated by the Antigonus family notebook. Welch and a woman who studied the notebook with him also committed suicide."
"Isn't it a burglary...?"
"No." Leonard shook his head heavily. "This is just a reason given to appease ordinary people."
Melissa's body was about to collapse, and Benson supported her in time.
"Melissa, at least... at least Klein didn't die that night..."
Seeing how depressed they both looked, Audrey hesitated for a moment, but still gave them a comforting gift.
Leonard turned his head. He wanted to tell Melissa and Benson that Klein was still alive, but he remembered Klein's dejected words "There's no going back after his revenge, and fell silent again..
Maybe... this space could tell them that Klein is still alive?
"Circus show tomorrow night?" Klein glanced at the flyer in someone else's hand and whispered the general content.
"Would you like a divination?" A woman wearing a pointed hat and a long black dress stopped Klein.
"Is it free?" He didn't have the spare money to do divination.
The woman smiled and said, "You are the first customer today, so of course it's free."
Free? Free things are the most expensive! Klein muttered silently, intending. to firmly refuse any additional services later.
"Pfft." Audrey laughed out loud, then waved her hands awkwardly when everyone looked at her. "I just find it funny that Mr. Klein keeps emphasizing that everything is free. She hadn't expected Mr. World to be so strapped for cash before... Could it be that the person Mr. Fool had previously needed the Gold List's favored favor was Mr. World?
Melissa and Benson were obviously thinking about theirlife in Tingen, and couldn't help but smile faintly.
*Klein is still so obsessed with money..." Leonard stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"You shuffle and cut the cards," the circus fortune teller said in a low voice.
"Let me shuffle it?" Klein asked subconsciously.
The fortune teller's face was flushed red and yellow, and he smiled faintly.
"Of course, only one can predict one's own destiny. I am just an interpreter."
Klein immediately asked cautiously, "There's no extra charge for interpretation, right?"
The fortune teller was visibly stunned for a moment before he said sullenly, "It's free."
"It's certainly something Klein could do." Benson smiled a slightly relaxed smile. Melissa also temporarily forgot her sadness. Seeing the screen constantly emphasizing Klein's free services, she felt like laughing for some reason :-D
The fortune teller stretched out his finger, picked up a card from the top, and placed it next to Klein's left hand. His voice became increasingly hoarse, "This one symbolizes the past."
"This symbolizes the present." The fortune teller placed the second card right in front of Klein.
She picked up the third card and placed it on Klein's right hand side:
"This one symbolizes the future.
"Okay, which card do you want to see first? After doing all this, the fortune teller raised his head and looked deeply at Klein with his gray-blue eyes.
"Let's look at the present first. Klein thought for a moment.
The fortune teller nodded slowly and turned over the card in front of him.
This card depicts a young man wearing gorgeous clothes and a gorgeous headdress, carrying a cane on his shoulder with luggage hanging on the top of the cane, and being pulled by a puppy behind him. The serial number is 0.
"The Fool." The fortune teller softly read out the card, his gray-blue eyes fixed on Klein.
Above the gray fog, He sat on the throne, casting a gentle glance in this direction, intentionally or unintentionally meeting the gaze of the figure in the dark skirt behind the fortune teller.
Holy crap... there's even an original plot here... The wandering magician was watching the screen with such gusto that he almost took out a bucket of popcorn to eat while watching.
Leonard's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Old man... It turns out that Klein has already been noticed by them at this time..." The one above the gray fog is Mr. Fool, and the one behind the fortune teller... could it be the goddess?
*The gods' plan is far beyond our ability to see clearly..." Pales sighed.
Alger was half excited and half confused. "I didn't expect Mr. Fool to care so much about someone. Who is that prince next to him? Or... the Goddess of Night? What was so special about Klein?
Azik frowned slightly. Being watched by multiple gods was not a good thing... After all, gods would not care about a human for no reason.
"All gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price." The figure above the gray fog chuckled and retracted his gaze.
The wandering magician shrugged. He remembered that Adam had said this to him first, and he hadn't expected it to be edited in here. Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and saw Amon looking at him with a smile. He was in a good mood and pushed his monocle up. Judging by his mouth shape, he was probably saying something like "Dear Mr. Fool."
The wandering magician decided to turn around and pretend he hadn't seen anything. At the same time, he tutted inwardly, cursing what a horrible thing it was.
Little did he know that others were shocked when they saw that statement. Especially Abba Azik, who couldn't think of anything Klein could possibly exchange with the gods.
"Could it be..." God's container?
"Your former colleague is probably the vessel of the Fool's divine descent." Pales sighed.
A divine vessel...? Leonard's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief.
The wandering magician looked at the people around him, some with a solemn expression, some with a look of understanding, and a big question mark appeared on his little head.
What are you guys thinking about???
