Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 196 The Knockout
On either side of the mottled, ancient bronze table, a blur of silhouettes stretched and lengthened in the glow of crimson light, fixing themselves in place, while the surrounding area was as quiet and empty as ever, as if it hadn’t been entered by living beings in millions of years.
”Good afternoon, Mr. ‘Fool’~” the light and pleasant voice of Audrey “Justice” soon echoed through the grand palace held up by the stone pillars.
Klein nodded with a smile and watched as the members of the group, led by Ms. Justice, briefly completed their greetings to each other.
Among them, “The Hidden One” Gadelia was undoubtedly more silent, and it seemed to Audrey that the other party was harboring a great deal of concern.
When the voices had subsided and the members were seated, Klein the Fool gave Miss Justice a glance that made the “psychiatrist” instantly realize what he meant, and, without raising his hand a little, he began to speak. He then looked over at Gaudreaux, the Hidden One, and laughed as if he didn’t really care:
”You tell Bernadette that she can trade certain things for some answers.”
Bernadette …… heard this familiar name, not the “Queen of Mystery”, “Dawn” master or “Elemental Dawn” leader and other pronouns. After hearing this familiar name instead of “Queen of Mysteries”, “Master of the Dawn” or “Leader of the Elemental Dawn”, Gadelia understood that Mr. “Fool” had already realized everything and knew everything, and that she could not hide her own little thoughts from him at all!
This made her heart heavier and heavier, and she felt a strong sense of fear that she couldn’t contain, and briefly didn’t know what kind of attitude and words she should use to respond.
In her opinion, the real meaning of Mr. “Fool”‘s words just now was to convey this sentence, but only to convey such a sentence, not to say more, not even to have any hints!
What that meant, Gaudreaux thought she knew very well.
Bernadette? It was a common female name in Intis, who could it be? What was the answer she was hoping to get in return? And what was her relationship to the Hidden One? “The Hidden Lady made a private request and the Fool answered “yes”? No, that’s not it, that’s definitely not it, if it was a private request, a reasonable request, Mr. Fool wouldn’t have mentioned it in front of us, and responded to Ms. Cryptic’s request directly… …is this, an admonition? Audrey “Justice” forgot to observe the other members of the group, and a series of questions first flashed through her mind, and then, with the acumen of the “audience”, she grasped Mr. “Fool’s” true intentions. Then, with the keenness of the “audience”, she grasped Mr. “Fool’s” true intentions.
Then, with the keenness of the “audience” path, she grasped Mr. “Fool’s” true intentions, and immediately, she had a certain guess.
”Ms. ‘The Hidden One’ has privately revealed a little bit of our Tarot Society’s business to Ms. Bernadette by way of hints, because the other party is eager to obtain some answers. …… Mr. ‘The Fool’ is not too satisfied with that. ‘ Mr. ‘wasn’t too satisfied with this, so he directly pointed out this matter to give a warning to the first offender?
”Really, how could you reveal the party to anyone? I didn’t even tell Susie! It would have put everyone in danger, and it’s a good thing Mr. ‘Fool’ was there!”
Audrey nearly forgot her education in image and etiquette as she puffed out her cheeks, realizing for the first time that not all members of the Tarot Club felt as much of a sense of belonging as she did, and admired and trusted Mr. Fool.
”Alger the Hanged Man, Voorhees the Magician, and Emlyn the Moon had similar questions and speculations in their minds, but each had a different focus:
Alger is looking forward to what Mr. “Fool” will do, and at the same time struggling to think of Bernadette, a common female name in Intis, who actually represents, and why it is worth the risk of revealing a small amount of information about the Tarot Club to the deep-minded “hermit”; Forsyth is worried that Forsyth, worrying about whether the existence of the Tarot Society would be revealed, had instantly composed a tale of espionage and counter-espionage; and Emlyn gloated, thinking that the Hidden One was just plain stupid.
Hey, even the originator of our blood race treats Mr. Fool as an equal and sent me as a special envoy to be trained, but you, a guy who isn’t even a demigod, are trying to do something under the watchful eye of Mr. Fool, is your life too long? As expected, I can’t understand some of the thoughts of the short-lived species. Emperor Rossel said that a worm that can only survive in summer can’t really know what snow and ice look like……. “Moon” Emlin leaned back with a relaxed posture and shook his head in an undisguised manner.
”Sun” Derek didn’t think that much about it, but just vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, so he asked, half-curious, half-doubtful:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, who is Bernadette?”
Good question! I thought it would be Ms. ‘Justice’ to pad this out, well, she seems to be a bit angry that she doesn’t want to talk for the time being …… Klein gave a dark praise and answered gently:
”Rossel’s eldest daughter.
”Owner of the ‘Dawn’.
”Chief of the Elemental Dawn.”
He told Bernadette’s identity one by one, so that she would have no more secrets from the members of the Tarot Society.
The reason why he used the owner of the Dawn instead of the “Queen of Mysteries” was because Klein felt that it was impossible for the Fool to call Bernadette a queen.
The owner of the “Dawn” …… is the “Queen of Mystery”! She turned out to be the eldest daughter of Rossel the Great! I’m pretty sure you’re the “General of the Stars”, so the rumor that you broke up with the “Queen of Mysteries” is false… … “Inverted Man” Alger was excited, and felt that the feeling of being suppressed and being in a tight spot for the past three months had disappeared all of a sudden.
He could not help but laugh at the “Hidden Man” in his heart:
”Rossel the Great said that those who play with flames will surely burn themselves, and ‘General Above the Stars’ you dare to challenge the insight of a deity!”
At this moment, Alger was glad that although he had made some small moves to try to figure out Mr. “Fool”‘s identity, purpose, and current state, it did not involve outsiders, and there was no leakage, so he had not been directly hit.
Because he had introduced the “four kings” and seven pirate generals, Audrey “Justice” and the others recalled a little, but also quickly determined that Bernadette was the “mysterious queen”, a demigod who had traveled across the five seas. The demigods of the five seas, and unanimously surprised that the eldest daughter of Rossel the Great is still alive, living to the present, and has become a world-famous big shot.
”The answer the ‘Queen of Mysteries’ wants is in Rossel’s diary?” Combining the matters and words before and after, Audrey vaguely guessed Bernadette’s purpose, believing that the eldest daughter of the great emperor wanted to find out the truth about her father’s assassination.
By this time, “The Hidden One,” Gadelia, had recovered her power of thought, and looking sideways to the uppermost head of the long bronze table, said, without taking any chances:
”Yes, I made some mistakes, and I won’t defend myself, they were mistakes.
”Mr. ‘Fool’, I am willing to accept whatever you do to me, even if it means killing me.”
Hypocrisy …… If Mr. “Fool” wanted to punish you, would you still have the means to resist? “The Inverted Man” scoffed from across the room. This simple rhetoric was obvious to him as soon as he heard it.
Ms. “Hidden Man” is still a little afraid ah …… “Justice” Audrey from the side of the incidental subtle movements and phrases of Gadelia tasted the other side of the implied fear.
In her opinion, people who deliberately emphasize that they are willing to be executed are often very afraid of dying.
”Forsyth, the magician, found peace in the calmness of the Fool, and thought that the situation in the Tarot Club had not been disclosed, or rather, the part that had been disclosed was irrelevant, and so, like Emlyn, she and the Moon were not afraid. “She waited with some curiosity and anticipation, as did Emlyn, to see what punishment Mr. Fool would mete out.
”Sun Derek still didn’t know what was going on, and didn’t understand why Ms. Hermit was suddenly asking for punishment.
At this time, when Mr. Fool was silent for a short while, “The Hidden One” Kadriya restrained her uneasiness and raised her head slightly, observing the existence behind the thick gray fog without any trace, trying to grasp the real intention of the other party, so as to make a more accurate response, so as not to make another mistake or another mistake, or to make another mistake. , lest another mistake be made and another anger be incurred, so that things could never be undone again.
Her black eyes were dark purple and mysterious, looking through the fog and seeing the Fool.
Suddenly, Guardia’s eyes burned, and blood flowed out of them.
Her ears then rang with an evil, terrible, depraved, indescribable hiss, which instantly overwhelmed her senses with extreme pain, and her body convulsed and trembled uncontrollably.
Her face, the backs of her hands, and the uncovered areas of her clothing soon cracked open with a slit where flesh and blood could be seen, and inside, black worms and white moths squirmed and were about to form a single unnameable eye.
The screams and grunts of pain echoed in the gray mist, and the “Hanged Man” Alger, “Moon” Emlyn, “Magician” Forsyth and others looked at each other in dismay, seemingly intuitively sensing the pain the other was enduring. They seemed to intuitively feel the pain that the other party was suffering.
At the same time, the blurred image became clearer, allowing them to see clearly the physical changes of the “hermit”.
The disgusting and hideous image scared “Justice” Audrey brushed back her gaze, back straight, staring straight ahead, not daring to move.
Although the reaction of the others was not so exaggerated, but also had the same meaning.
The ravings of the “Real Creator” are really good …… The “Fool” Klein, who was shrouded in gray fog, saw this scene and sincerely sighed with emotion.
The reason why he did not immediately respond to the words of the “Hidden One” Gadelia seeking to punish herself was because he wanted to make sure that the other party’s eyes were special, whether or not they were able to spy on him!
For this reason, he will pry in advance some of the mysterious spatial power hidden in the gray fog covering himself, the function is to rely on extraordinary ability to see through the obstacles once anyone, this kind of survey “transfer” to the “kindling” gloves!
This is equivalent to the owner of the extraordinary ability to directly use the spirit to measure the object that has been contaminated by the “real Creator”, so, under the premise that Klein did not use the gray mist to suppress the influence of the “hidden” Gadelia naturally heard the words The “real Creator” ravings, first, the use of extraordinary ability “organs” seriously damaged, and then filled with pain, mutation!
If the “General above the stars” hadn’t measured up, Klein’s plan would have been to have the other party apologize to the members of the Tarot Club, and then have the people discuss a punishment as a demonstration of “democracy”.
And no matter how “democratic”, small punishment is not mentioned, the big punishment is certainly the last use of prying the mysterious space a little power will be “hermit” Gadelia and “kindling” gloves linked together! Wait for two seconds!
Waiting for two seconds, Klein saw the good thing, and his palms gently stroked, so that the gray fog silently suppressed the ravings of the “real Creator”, and calmed down the mutation of “Hidden” Gadelia.
The trembling of the “Star General” began to subside at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cracks in his flesh and blood gradually closed up, and his thoughts returned a little, and he felt everything around him again.
At this time, the “upside down man” Alger said in a low voice, like a warning or self-talk:
”Do not peek at God …….”
