“Wheel of Fortune…”
Audrey and Alger both silently repeated the Major Arcana card Roger had chosen.
Given Roger’s low-key and cautious personality, he had originally intended to choose a card with a higher sequence number and no owner in the original work.
But the more he thought this way, the more he realized that these guys under Mr.
The Fool seemed to have some inexplicable problems…
The cards they chose were one after another, all with higher sequence numbers!
What with the three Celestial The Fools of Sun, Moon, and Star, Temperance, Judgment…
even “The World,” the card with the highest sequence number, became Klein’s alt account.
Although this was just a coincidence, considering that in his previous life, many people had called Klein, the leader of the Tarot Club, a “Coward God,” it was hard for Roger not to grumble inwardly.
In contrast, the most laid-back Ms.
Magician became the one with the lowest sequence number, which perhaps also explained why she became Mr.
The Fool’s “personally appointed” Angel…
Aside from “The Tower,” which he disliked, and “Death” and “The Devil,” which sounded somewhat evil, “Wheel of Fortune,” the 10th card in the sequence, became Roger’s best choice.
After all, this card in the world of Beyonders was synonymous with “good luck.”
Hearing Roger’s choice, “The Fool” at the head of the bronze long table nodded slightly, seemingly acknowledging this codename.
The meeting officially began.
As agreed upon in the previous gathering, Audrey and Alger provided Mr.
The Fool with a total of three of Emperor Roselle’s diaries as a reward for the knowledge of the Acting Method.
“Mr.
Fool, can you understand those strange symbols of Emperor Roselle?”
Watching Audrey and Alger write notes in the Above the Gray Fog, Roger “curiously” asked.
Upon hearing this, Klein almost couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
“Is he pretending not to understand?
Or is he really not a Transmigrator?”
At this moment, he desperately wanted to become a “Spectator” to carefully ponder Roger’s true thoughts.
Klein subtly tapped his glabella twice and looked at Roger with his Spirit Vision.
…Filled with eager and restless emotions, he must be very eager to know the contents of the diary.
But with only this bit of information, he couldn’t discern anything, and Klein immediately felt a little disappointed.
After all, whether a Transmigrator or a local native, there were reasons to want to read Roselle’s diary.
This was a new ability gained after completely digesting the “Attention-Seeker” potion.
According to Roger’s guess, this ability should symbolize that he was spiritually prepared to accept the transformation of the Sequence 8 “Clamorist” potion.
“Yes.”
Mr.
Fool above the Above the Gray Fog nodded slightly and began to read Roselle’s diary.
After a while, Klein put down the three papers, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
While there was a lot of valuable information in the diary, what interested him more were the romantic escapades of Roselle, his senior Transmigrator.
There’s an old saying on Earth: It’s hard to learn to be good, but easy to go astray.
Klein secretly warned himself to learn from history and never cause a “The Fool’s Reputation Collapse” incident.
Seeing that Mr.
The Fool had finished reading the diaries, Audrey inquired about more details regarding the Acting Method.
Although Roger knew all the relevant knowledge, he still listened patiently to the explanation.
During this process, he consciously relaxed himself, making gestures such as leaning forward and resting his chin on one hand.
This time, Audrey successfully caught Roger’s subtle movements.
Having already been impacted by the details of the Acting Method, she couldn’t help but fall into new doubts.
“From Mr.
Wheel of Fortune’s actions, he seems to know the Acting Method?
Who exactly is he?”
One must know that even Mr.
Hanged Man, a Beyonder senior who was at least Sequence 8, or even Sequence 7, didn’t know these secrets.
How could “Wheel of Fortune,” a newly joined member, know them?
As Audrey thought of this, she couldn’t help but develop a strong interest in Roger.
Soon, as the meeting’s topic progressed to the information-sharing stage, Roger, who had been listening in, suddenly spoke:
“I have two things I’d like to share.”
Hearing the newly joined “Wheel of Fortune” proactively bring up a topic, Audrey and Alger both looked at him curiously.
“First, the Aurora Order recently gathered over 100 ordinary citizens near a dock by the Tussock River, but they didn’t kill them.
Every single word, every single phrase, every single detail, was carefully checked!
Roger deliberately blurred the location to prevent Alger and the others from inferring his whereabouts.
Klein was also quite interested in this matter.
Since his security clearance was insufficient and he couldn’t know the inside story, he was now praising Roger greatly in his heart while also listening attentively.
Alger nodded upon hearing this and took the initiative to speak:
“To my knowledge, the Aurora Order has done two such things before.
“One of them was unsuccessful, stopped by official forces.
In the other, all the victims perished and suffered severe mutations, and the culprits are still at large.
I don’t know anything else.”
“Mutation…
It seems to be related to either the True Creator or the Secrets Supplicant pathway.
Could it be for some sort of advancement ritual?”
Roger mused, then nodded and spoke of the second matter:
“The second matter concerns the Demoness Sect.”
Demoness Sect?
What’s that?
Klein’s interest was also piqued.
At this moment, he was very interested in information about such secret organizations.
He really hadn’t expected his neighbor to know such intelligence.
Alger and Audrey also leaned forward slightly, adopting curious postures.
“An Instigator has arrived in Loen.
He was recruited by the secret organization, the Demoness Sect, advanced to a ‘Witch,’ and became involved in a major operation in Backlund.”
Roger said calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.
However, this sentence caused collective shock among the other three, as they all noticed the shift in the third-person pronoun in Roger’s narration.
Although the gender of nouns in Loenese is not as widespread as in Intis, the gender of the discussed object can still be identified through the third-person pronouns “he” and “she.”
The word “Witch” in almost any culture on the Northern Continent refers to a female.
The conversion from “he” to “she,” if not a slip of the tongue, revealed an immense amount of information.
As an official Beyonder of the Church of Storms, Alger almost instantly understood many things that had previously puzzled him.
