Volume 7 The Hanged Man Chapter 36 The Fool’s Commission
”Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.”
The rest of the members of the Tarot Club looked quite grave at this point, and followed Ms. Justice through the usual greetings.
When they had resumed their seats, “Fool” Klein looked around the room and said in a low, slow voice:
”I am going into a deep sleep.”
At these words, Alger “The Hanged Man,” Audrey “Justice,” Hugh “The Judge,” and Forsythe “The Magician” all burst into tears. “Forsyth” had the feeling that the second boot had finally landed on the ground, and “Star” Leonard, “Moon” Emlyn, “Sun” Derek and other members of the Tarot Club had a sinking feeling in their hearts. Leonard “Star”, Emlyn “Moon”, Derek “Sun” and the other members of the Tarot Club, their hearts sank, and they became more and more flustered and full of doubts.
Of course, they were not that surprised, the unusual impromptu gathering, the unusual absence of the “world”, seemed to indicate that something important would happen today.
Maintaining that last bit of lucidity, Klein said in the same tone as earlier:
”This involves a war that goes beyond the Sequence and has to do with the degree of doom.”
Sure enough,…… “Inverted man” Alger keenly captured the phrase “beyond the sequence”.
He had long suspected that there was a realm above Sequence 0: the realm of the ancient Sun God, who had eight angelic kings.
Now, Mr. Fool has finally confirmed his suspicion and solved many of his puzzles.
”The “Hidden One”, Gadelia and the others also noticed the hidden message in Mr. Fool’s words, some of them, like the “Hanged Man”, already had similar guesses, but at this moment, they had more of a feeling of “really? Some of them, like the “Hanged Man”, had already had similar guesses, but at this time it was more of a feeling of “it’s really like this”, while some of them hadn’t thought about it in this aspect, and were inevitably surprised and confused when they heard it at once, but soon combined with all the things they had known in the past, and were enlightened for a while.
”Fools,” continued Klein:
”When you become angels, you will be qualified to know the specifics, otherwise, the mere knowledge itself will bring contamination.”
This made the Tarot members think of “underground” and “starry sky”, and it was difficult to contain their thoughts for a while.
Klein glanced at the bottom of the mottled table and said:
”My dependents, the ‘world’, have gone into early slumber, and I don’t know when they will wake up.”
What then? Leonard “Star” almost blurted out, but he could clearly sense that Mr. “Fool” hadn’t finished his sentence, so he forcibly resisted the urge.
Mr. “Fool” Klein’s gaze swept over him:
”Next there is a standing commission issued to all members:”
”Preach my name more widely, but do not conflict with the Church of the Righteous God, and if necessary, choose to preach in a covert manner.”
”This will help me awaken.”
”Also, spread the various deeds of the ‘world’ as my favored one, and record them in the Church’s Canon, but of course, do not involve his privacy.”
”Remember the words: ‘The World’ awakens, and ‘The Fool’ returns.”
Klein was trying to boost the number of his anchors, which might be quite useful in the dream confrontation with the “Lord of Mysteries”.
At the same time, he wanted to mold the “world” into a saint of the Church of the Fool, an angel beside the throne of God, so that this image could share its followers on a wide scale and obtain its own anchor.
To put it simply, Klein intended to let one believer contribute two anchors. Anyway, to him, whether it was “The Fool” or “The World”, it was just an identity, and the images created by the anchors wouldn’t be uniform, but different, so that it wouldn’t affect him! The Fool.
–At the level of the “Fool”, the Church spreads the name of God, the emblem of the “Fool”, and various doctrines, and has no specific image, while at the level of the “World”, he has quite a few images. “On the “World” side, he has a number of identities, such as Germaine Sparrow, such as Dawn Dantes, such as Merlin Hermes, and there will not be a single image that is determined.
”The reward is the convenience you have enjoyed in the past, the response you have received, and the help you will pray for in the future to correspond.” “Fool,” Klein said in an unchanged tone, “I can likewise answer prayers to a certain extent after I am dormant, but not always. If there is something very important indeed that needs to be helped, then pray a few more times.”
He knew from the fact that Antigonus could make dreams outwardly visible after entering the state of eternal sleep that, given the right approach, a sleeping deity could answer prayers within a certain limit with the help of dreams.
The members of the Tarot Society here did not find this situation difficult at all.
On the one hand, most of them were spreading the beliefs of the “Fool” more or less explicitly or implicitly, on the other hand, it was too common for prayers to be unanswered, and it was extremely rare for Mr. Fool to answer every time before. It was rare that Mr. “Fool” had answered every time before, a situation they had hardly heard of elsewhere.
Being able to get an answer to an important prayer over and over again was better than most of the clergy of the Orthodox Church!
”Yes, Mr. ‘Fool’.” Without the slightest hesitation, the members of the Tarot Club all took on this long-term commission.
Among them, “Star” Leonard was the one who was the most heartfelt and impatient.
For him, spreading Mr. Fool’s beliefs and texts was awakening Kraven.
It gave him the motivation to do something outside of his daily work.
At that moment, Mr. “Fool” Klein nodded his head gently and turned his gaze to Mr. “Hermit” Gadelia:
”The previous commission – to gather information on all aspects of the ‘Hidden Sage’ suddenly coming to life – is still valid.”
”If you desire to take the risk, then go even further and investigate the current state of the ‘Hidden Sage’.”
”It will be very dangerous, and you may refuse, and the reward is a wish.”
”The Hidden One,” Gadelia said after a moment’s thought:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, is there some relationship between this and having you awakened? Does it involve the question of how to survive the end?”
”Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t, I can’t give you a definite answer right now, I just saw some images.” Klein didn’t purposely portray the high status of the “Fool” this time, as he was already a true “Fool”, “Also, watch over all the ‘Earth’ and ‘Moon’ under your command. ‘ and ‘Moon’ Pathway Extraordinary.”
Kadriya was silent for a while, and spoke slowly:
”I accept the commission.”
”Fool” Klein then turned his gaze to the other side and addressed “Sun” Derek:
”Your mission is to protect New Silver City and Crescent City, and protect the Rothschild Islands. The more and safer my followers are, the greater the possibility of my awakening.”
”On that basis, you will then consider how to expand the church and spread the faith.”
”Your reward is to become my favorites.”
”Sun,” Derek’s eyes suddenly burned a little, and he recalled the Chief’s encouraging gaze as he pushed open the last door of the Giant’s Court.
Taking a quiet breath, he said with force:
”Yes, Mr. ‘Fool’!”
Klein nodded and looked to “Magician” Fools:
”You need to protect the Abrahams from temptation from the stars.”
”Also, gather more information about the Fourth Age, figure out the state of Mr. ‘Gate’ at that time, and figure out some of the problems lurking in the Abraham family.”
”These are all things I wish to do myself.” “Magician” Fools hesitated for a moment, but still made it clear that even without a commission, he would do these things himself.
”Fool” Klein did not say yes or no, and turned:
”You may, if you wish, help write biographies and stories for the different identities of the ‘world’, to be published under different pen names.”
”The reward for the above commission is to receive my blessing when you have hopes of becoming a ‘Traveling Mage’ and must travel to the stars.”
Although Klein knew that he was able to rely on his dreams to give responses to a certain extent during his slumber, he wasn’t sure whether it was he or the “Secret Lord” who would have the upper hand at that time, so he hoped to use the method of completing the commission and giving the payment to fix the more important things in the form of a verbal contract. At that time, even if he was in a disadvantageous position, he could still use this kind of invisible agreement to skillfully complete the response.
”Traveling mage”? “Magician” Voorhees froze for a moment.
Frankly speaking, she hadn’t considered this question at all; what she was worried about now was the digestion of the “Secret Mage” and the ritual of the “Wanderer”.
Quickly, she retrieved her thoughts:
”Yes, Mr. ‘Fool’.”
Klein then turned his attention to “Moon” Emlyn:
”The siege of the Rose School involves preparations for Armageddon and is quite dangerous, so even with the participation of the angels, you must take care of your own safety.”
”Your commission is to gather as many blessings, breaths, and items given by the ‘Primordial Moon’ as possible from the ‘Primordial Moon’ followers within the Rose School, which are perhaps more dangerous than the ‘1 ‘ level seals are even more dangerous.”
At this point, although Klein still maintained the tone of a “Fool”, his words had already taken on a bit of admonishment for his friend.
This made Audrey, who had initially stabilized her mood, notice the difference.
Remembering what Mr. Fool had just said to the other members, she sighed:
”As he is about to enter a deep sleep, Mr. “Fool”‘s humanity seems to be stronger ……”
”When Moon” Emlyn was slightly surprised and puzzled, Klein continued:
”Outside of participating in the mission to besiege the Rose School, I would like you to form a drug company and research how to mass produce potions with magical effects.”
”As long as it is mass-produced, there is no way it can possess too magical an effect.” “Moon,” Emlyn returned instinctively.
”Fool,” Klein nodded:
”Seek a compromise.”
”Your main purpose is to spread my name through this potions company.”
”The reward is also a desire.”
It’s not a matter of whether it’s dangerous or not, but whether it’s possible ……The easiest way is to give me a thousand copies of the “Apothecary” magic potion, and I can set up an “Apothecary” factory to realize Mass production …… “Moon” Emlyn muttered twice in his heart and responded with a straight face:
”Yes, Mr. ‘Fool’.”
Klein looked the other way, addressing “Judgment” Hugh:
”With the end approaching, both the ‘Red Priestesses’ and the ‘Witch’ will be active, your task is to rely on the official forces to find out about the ‘Red Priestesses ‘ pathway three copies of Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics and the whereabouts of the corresponding uniqueness, and if you have the opportunity, look for clues to confirm the current state of the ‘Original Witch’, which is very dangerous.”
Klein didn’t mention the payment because it had already been paid in advance:
Hugh realized his wish, performed the ceremony, and became a Sequence 4 “Law Mage”.
As for the three copies of the “Red Priest” pathway sequence 1 “Conqueror” extraordinary characteristics, Klein previously knew that one copy was in the hands of the former royal family of Intis Solon family, one copy was in the hands of the royal family of Forsak Einhorn family, and one copy fell to the royal family of Ruen Augustus family, and later, as a reward, gave to the other party. family, which was later given to the Witch Cult as payment.
Of course, this is only a preliminary answer, and the corresponding situation may well have changed:
The Sauron family has been in decline since the time of Rossel, may not still have the “conqueror” extraordinary characteristics or the corresponding seal, Klein even doubt, this will not be the Iron Blooded Crusade to get;
The defeat of the previous war caused considerable damage to the Einhorn family, Klein does not rule out the fall of a high angel or the loss of the “0” seal;
Augustus family to the witch sect of the extraordinary characteristics of the “conqueror” is currently the most clear whereabouts, but Klein knows that the “red angel” evil spirit Soren Einhorn Medici has been playing it, may have succeeded, or may be in the process of implementation.
The corresponding “Red Priest” uniqueness, for which there are no clues, was last known to the mystical world during the Pale Plague at the end of the Fourth Age.
