Chapter 238 The Fool's Conjecture
At the Tarot meeting.
“Justice,” Audrey said, “Speaking of Raphael, I have something to share about him.”
"Last week, I and two other members explored a Quaternary site with him."
Audrey then briefly recounted their exploration process, focusing on the woman named Alex they encountered in the ruins.
When everyone heard that it was Mr. Fool and Lord of Evil who covered their escape from the ruins, Alger the Hanged Man began to wonder if this was a collaboration between the two gods.
The Hermit, Cattleya, also wondered: Could Raphael be the liaison between the two gods?
Finally, Audrey said, "I'm hesitating whether to report this to the church?"
This seems to involve some of the privacy of the "Goddess of the Night," and she doesn't know whether she should report it to the church.
In fact, Audrey had already undergone some subtle changes.
In the past, she would have reported the matter to the church without hesitation.
But things are different now. She will consider the church's reaction after they find out about this, and one of their reactions will definitely be to suppress this private matter concerning the "Goddess of the Night." The process of "suppressing" this matter will certainly not be as simple as signing a confidentiality agreement.
Audrey realized that as the provider of this information, she might be placed under house arrest.
Therefore, she never reported this matter to the church.
When everyone heard Miss Justice ask this question, they basically understood what she meant.
Among them, "The Sun" Derrick is particularly concerned about this matter, because it could be a passage to leave the "Forsaken Land".
A few seconds later, Klein manipulated "The World" and said, "As long as that guy doesn't harm ordinary people, we can leave him alone for now. Keep a close eye on things and wait for the situation to change."
Klein trusted the Church of the Goddess of Night to a certain extent, but he was also well aware that the Goddess of Night was a meticulous deity who would take action if someone learned some of her secrets, so it was best not to take the risk.
Audrey nodded in agreement to Mr. World's suggestion.
She then briefly mentioned Raphael's speculation about Alex.
"The Magician" Fors and "The Moon" Emlyn then realized that this was what "Justice" and Raphael wanted to talk about that day.
After hearing Raphael's guess, everyone realized the level of trouble that "Justice" and his team had encountered on their exploration. If Alex was waiting for "Pluto" to return, then she was very likely an angel!
No wonder Raphael and his men were powerless to fight back. Facing an enemy of this level, it was a miracle that they came back alive.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," remarked, "No matter how crazy you say Raphael is, his mind is indeed very sharp."
No one questioned Raphael's guess, and everyone felt that it must be very close to the truth.
About six months ago, they had guessed that the uniqueness of the "Death God" path seemed to be related to the "Forsaken Land," but they had not found any clues as to why there was such a connection.
"The Sun" Derrick, however, was more concerned: "I wonder if that teleportation array still works?"
"Even if it can be used, it will be very difficult to use in Silver City." The "Hermit" Cattleya, who had been silent until now, said, "We can consider the Forsaken Land as being under a special seal. According to the information obtained by Justice and others, even a true god would have to pay a certain price when using it."
"Moreover, after the war against Solomon in the Fourth Age, it seems that new restrictions have been added, and it is possible that only the true god can use this teleportation array."
Derrick nodded with some disappointment, but then he remembered that they would soon find a way out of the "Giant's Court," so his disappointment was only momentary, and he cheered up again.
At this moment, Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "If I have time, I will also conduct relevant investigations in the 'Forsaken Land'."
His spiritual senses indicated that he would encounter clues in this regard in the near future.
After that topic ended, everyone started exchanging other information, and the tarot session concluded about twenty minutes later.
Klein, seated at the head of the bronze table, watched as the members of the Tarot Society disappeared one by one. He then activated the power of the "Source Castle" to divine the "Emperor of the Underworld's" arrangements in the "Forsaken Land."
What we saw was a starry sky.
Klein quickly completed the interpretation, which represented "stars".
In other words, those arrangements have most likely been destroyed by the "Goddess of the Night," or the uniqueness of the "Death God's" path is already in the hands of the "Goddess of the Night," rendering the "Emperor of the Underworld's" arrangements ineffective.
It involves the true god, and it is also very likely to involve "secrets," so even if you occupy the "Source Castle," you will not be able to see the truth.
Klein then consulted the oracle about whether he would encounter the aftermath of this event in the "Forsaken Land," and saw the image of the "Lord of Evil Desire."
He was stunned for a moment. So, this matter was related to the "Lord of Evil Desires"? And the "Lord of Evil Desires" clearly had some arrangements in the "Forsaken Land"!
Klein even suspected that the Lord of Lust might have deliberately dragged the Fool into the matter through Raphael's actions.
After some speculation, Klein returned to a period of history known only to himself, then summoned his past self, sending the summoned phantom carrying a lantern into the "Forsaken Land" to continue its journey through endless darkness.
The Forsaken Land, Sen'er City.
Priest Zede was conducting a grand ceremony in the main hall, with the speaker, council members, and important figures from Sen'er City all in attendance.
They knelt quietly beneath the altar, their expressions shifting between excitement and confusion.
Right before "a great hourglass"—at the end of the Third Age, mechanical watches were not yet widespread, so after the "Great Cataclysm," the people of the "Forsaken Land" could only calculate time in the endless darkness by breathing, lightning, the speed of burning candles, and so on.
However, these methods of timekeeping were not very accurate, so Sen'er City began to use hourglasses for timekeeping.
Hourglasses are divided into "large hourglasses" and "small hourglasses". A "large hourglass" takes about an hour, and a "small hourglass" takes about 10 minutes.
—In other words, about an hour ago, the Lord of Evil Desires suddenly sent a divine message to Zedd, instructing him to prepare the appropriate rituals to welcome the arrival of the divine messenger.
That's why the councilors were so excited: the messenger of the "Lord of Evil Desires" had actually descended upon the "Forsaken Land"!
🇧🇷
The reason they were puzzled was because they didn't know what the messenger of the gods was coming to do.
At this moment, Zeder's prayer ended, and a black phantom descended upon the altar along with an evil force.
The phantom quickly solidified, transforming into a young man in his twenties with a wicked smile on his face.
The Amon clone "parasitizing" the archbishop was taken aback: Raphael is a divine messenger.
