South Colson, Green Meadow Manor.
Fors, in her sleep, suddenly woke up, watching the scarlet moon outside becoming increasingly red, the whispers in her ears feeling like they would manifest at any moment.
Fors took two seconds to fully wake up, immediately tidied her pajamas, and prepared to pray to "The Fool": "The one who does not belong…"
She also suddenly remembered that she had promised Hobert to do an experiment.
Fors cleared her throat: "Creator in the Shadow of Order;
"You are the Beginning and End of All Order;
"You are the Master of Laws who holds the Bell of Order!"
"…"
While praying, Fors could already faintly hear whispers like murmurs, and she knew that this blood moon was about to form.
…
In the "Nation of Disorder," Hobert sat upright on the "Iron Throne," seeing a strange star appear in the pool in front of him, extending his spirituality towards it, and it was indeed Fors.
After establishing a connection with Fors, according to the rehearsal, Hobert first "distorted" Fors' hearing, preventing her from hearing the whispers.
However, it seemed that simply blocking the receiver's hearing was not very effective, so Hobert immediately used "Disorder" to create chaos in the space around Fors, in order to isolate the blood moon from the real world.
This method seemed to work, but Fors still frowned slightly, indicating that it was only somewhat effective, and she could still hear some whispers.
Hobert took a deep breath, somewhat regretting doing this experiment with Fors.
If he were doing this experiment with someone else, he could take his time to think of another solution.
But then again, he only felt comfortable doing this experiment with Fors's cooperation, otherwise, if others knew that the "Creator" also had things he wasn't sure about, it would affect the "Creator's" image.
At the time, Hobert had hesitated for a long time before finally deciding that he still had to do this experiment with Fors.
After calming himself down, Hobert thought of a solution: he "tampered" with the intensity of the spirituality around Fors's bedroom.
He calmed down the spirituality that grew after the blood moon occurred, making it less active.
Then he changed "Disorder" to "Distortion," twisting the connection between Fors and the blood moon, which was equivalent to cutting off the channel through which the whispers were transmitted to Fors's ears.
Fors seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her brow relaxed, and she praised the "Creator."
Hobert also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this experiment was successful.
Then Hobert sighed: "The Fool" is still good, able to directly pull people to the top of the gray fog, completely isolating the whispers.
Only after the "Blood Moon" ended did Hobert say to Fors in the tone of the "Creator": "Very good."
…
Green Meadow Manor.
After praying to the "Creator" many times, Fors successively felt the power of "Distortion" and "Disorder."
Because Hobert had demonstrated similar abilities in front of her many times, Fors was very familiar with the feeling of "Distortion" and "Disorder."
Finally, she felt that the spirituality around her seemed to change, and the whispers in her ears completely disappeared.
Fors breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the "Creator's" attempt was successful!
So after praising the "Creator," she quietly waited for the blood moon to end.
As she waited, Fors actually sat on the bed and fell asleep again for a while.
"Very good."
The solemn voice of the "Creator" appeared in Fors's ears, startling her awake instantly, and the figure of the "Creator" flashed before her eyes.
Fors felt that the image of the "Creator" was more imposing than that of "The Fool," and the black light emanating from Him also made the "Creator" look more sacred.
Unfortunately, before she could see clearly, the figure of the "Creator" disappeared.
Fors stared blankly at the scarlet moon outside the window, the whispers that had been bothering her all along, she didn't expect that it would be so easy for the gods to solve.
"The Fool" can solve it easily, and the "Creator" can solve it so easily too!
Just as she was in a daze, a space in the room became illusory, and Hobert emerged from the illusion: "How is it?"
"I only heard one or two whispers at the beginning," Fors smiled, "After that, I couldn't hear anything, I even fell asleep, wouldn't this be disrespectful to the 'Creator'?"
"No!" Hobert immediately said, "The 'Creator' said the experiment was very successful and gave you a mystical item as a reward for it."
Fors was slightly stunned: "Actually, it's, it's nothing."
In fact, she preferred the "Creator's" way of handling things, every time she was alone with Mr. Fool "above the gray fog," Mr. Fool would give Fors a huge pressure.
She wanted to chat about something, but she didn't know what to chat about, and if she didn't chat, she felt a little embarrassed.
The "Creator's" method is better, still in her own room, no need to face this god-like existence.
Hobert smiled: "You should also guess why the 'Creator' did this experiment, it is very important to us, so there must be a reward."
Saying this, he took out the "Teleportation Statue."
"I don't want it, I'm helping you," Fors said, but her hands honestly reached out.
The first time she saw the ability of the "Teleportation Statue" was during the battle against the Tamara family that Hobert had planned.
At that time, Hobert used the "Teleportation Statue" to cooperate with Xio, easily killing two Sequence 8s, which impressed Fors deeply.
The abilities shown by the "Teleportation Statue" afterwards made Fors always feel that with this mystical item in hand, enemies below Sequence 5 were not so difficult to deal with.
Now that the "Creator" rewarded her with this sealed artifact, it made her very happy. In the future, she would have "Leymano's Travels" for attack and the "Teleportation Statue" for defense. She instantly felt that she also had the confidence to challenge Sequence 6 beyond her level.
Hobert handed the box sealing the "Teleportation Statue" to Fors: "Next Tuesday, I will establish the 'Traveler's Gate' from the Lord's Mansion to Longtail Island.
"Prepare yourself, accompany me to take over Longtail Island, and meet with those manor owners. In the future, when I am not on Longtail Island, you will be stationed there."
Fors smiled: "I will be too busy."
Although she said so, she was still very happy that Hobert invited her to take over Longtail Island together.
"Just like here in South Colson, let Condra take care of the specific affairs, you just need to show your face occasionally," Hobert said, "I will let you personally manage some important industries."
Fors put away the "Teleportation Statue": "Okay."
Hobert lay on the bed: "I'm really looking forward to it. After rectifying Longtail Island, we can have a barbecue on the beach!"
Fors put down the "Teleportation Statue" and also lay down beside Hobert: "I never thought that one day I would become the mistress of an island.
"Hobert, thank you, you made my life more magical than my novels."
Hobert stroked Fors's fair thigh exposed outside her pajamas: "Actually, I should thank you more, you made me realize that I really live in this world, and all the experiences are not dreams, nor a game."
…
Above the gray fog.
Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze long table, yawned: Why hasn't Fors prayed to "The Fool" yet? Could it be that I was wrong, and tonight's changes in the scarlet moon are not a prelude to becoming a blood moon?
…
A new week began, and Hobert went to the MI9 as usual.
Just after changing into his uniform, Sharlene knocked on the door and came in: "Chief, the chief's secretary just came to inform you that the chief is looking for you."
"Looking for me again?" Hobert was now very reluctant to hear the phrase "the chief."
This time, Hobert found Georgina's office himself. Countess Georgina was reading the newspapers sent in the morning: "Come and sit down."
Hobert sat opposite her.
"You have a mission at the beginning of next month," Georgina said, looking at Hobert without a smile.
"It won't be to protect some important person again, will it?" Hobert was also very reluctant to hear the phrase Sodela Palace now.
"The specific mission will only be announced to you when you depart," Georgina tapped the newspaper with her finger: "It's still a protection mission, but this time you will be on a business trip for a while, so be prepared."
Hobert nodded: "Okay, but please tell me the level of danger of the mission before it starts."
"This time I will be more detailed than last time," Georgina promised.
Coming back from Georgina, Hobert said to Sharlene, "Get me a copy of today's Backlund Morning Post."
He noticed that the newspaper next to Georgina was the Backlund Morning Post.
Hobert turned to the second page and found the place where Georgina had tapped with her finger. There was a small report: Members of the Loen royal family will hold an informal meeting with members of the Masin and Feynapotter royal families in early May.
Hobert nodded slightly: Early May, the time is right, eighty or ninety percent I will have to go with them to protect the royal family members.
Then he shook his head and smiled. He had only worked in the MI9 for a short time, but he already had the awareness of an intelligence officer.
As for Georgina's reminder, it was what Hobert had fought for at the ball before.
Although according to the regulations, Georgina could not tell her subordinates the details of the mission, the regulations did not say that she could not hint at the general content of the mission so that her subordinates would have sufficient preparation time.
So for the second mission, Georgina gave a hint, as for whether Hobert received it, she didn't care.
It wasn't that Georgina was so indulgent towards Hobert, but as a demigod, she was qualified to be capricious, and sometimes Georgina had to make certain compromises.
At a little after two in the afternoon, Hobert simply used "Travel" to come to Green Meadow Manor.
At this time, Fors was already preparing to participate in the Tarot Gathering. Seeing Hobert coming, she smiled slightly.
Since they already knew each other's identities at the Tarot Gathering, they could completely participate in the Tarot Gathering together.
The two of them lay face up on the bed together, staring blankly at the warm sunlight shining in through the cracks in the curtains.
After a long while, Fors said, "Why do I feel like I've been lying down for a long time?"
"Let me take a look," Hobert took out his pocket watch: "Why hasn't it reached three o'clock yet? Is it because we're just lying down and not doing anything?"
Fors smiled: "This reminds me of the first time I participated in the Tarot Gathering, I was a little nervous and a little expectant."
Suddenly, the two people's vision was simultaneously submerged by the gray fog, and when they came back to their senses, they were already in the Giant Hall, sitting on either side of the bronze long table.
The two smiled at each other, suddenly feeling that this feeling was quite magical.
"Good afternoon~ Mr. Fool! Good afternoon…" Audrey, "Justice," greeted as usual.
But when she greeted Alger, "The Hanged Man," she suddenly noticed Hobert smiling at Fors.
Audrey immediately realized that this smile was not right, it was too sweet. "The Emperor" should not give such a smile to "The Magician."
She seemed to realize something and looked at Fors again, and Fors's smile was even sweeter.
Audrey immediately concluded: Fors knew that Hobert was "The Emperor!"
This made her good mood disappear all at once. All along, she had felt that she knew that Hobert was "The Emperor," and this was a secret that belonged only to herself and Hobert.
Now, this secret had been learned by others.
Everyone noticed that "Justice" was not right, and Derrick, "The Sun," simply reminded her: "Miss Justice?"
Audrey came back to her senses and concealed her mood very well. She smiled and said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Then she continued to greet: "Good afternoon~ Mr. Hanged Man…"
This was just a small episode. Seeing Audrey return to normal, everyone did not continue to pay attention to this matter.
Only Hobert clearly noticed it and seemed to understand Audrey's thoughts.
But he didn't think much about it. In fact, he had already noticed some changes in Audrey's attitude towards him before.
But after marrying Fors, he simply stopped thinking about these things.
The Tarot Gathering continued as usual. First, Cattleya, "The Hermit," offered a diary to The Fool, and then it was "The Fool" Klein's reading time.
This time the reading time was a little longer. About ten minutes later, Klein asked "The Hermit": "What is your request?"
Cattleya directly asked: "Honorable Mr. Fool, I want to know if Emperor Roselle has seen the Blasphemy Slate?"
Everyone was stunned: The Emperor has seen the Blasphemy Slate?
They always felt that the "Blasphemy Slate" was very mysterious, as if it was very far away from them. It appeared a long time ago and had been missing ever since.
Unexpectedly, the well-known Emperor Roselle had seen it. That was only a little over a hundred years ago!
It was as if there was a well-known big shot, and everyone had heard about his legends, but unexpectedly, the neighbor had met that big shot.
All the members looked at the head of the bronze table.
Klein brewed for a while before saying: "Yes!"
He sighed in his heart: Fortunately, Roselle mentioned this in the previous diary.
Really seen it!
Cattleya realized: Perhaps it was because the Emperor had seen the "Blasphemy Slate" and learned the apotheosis ritual of the "Black Emperor" pathway that he had the idea of jumping to a non-adjacent pathway.
Alger sighed inwardly: I really want to see what the "Blasphemy Slate" looks like.
Everyone else had similar thoughts to Alger, except for Audrey, who was a beat behind and only now showed surprise.
After Klein finished speaking, he didn't add anything, but instead smiled and said, "It's your turn."
He didn't directly say that he saw the 'Blasphemy Slate' from the 'Twilight Hermit Order,' thinking that he might be able to answer this question again next time.
Cattleya then bowed to 'The Fool' to express her gratitude, and then looked at 'The Magician' and said, "I want to know the clues to the direct descendants of the Abraham family, 1000 pounds!"
Why are you talking to me directly? 'The Magician' Fors was first startled, but then felt it wasn't unexpected, because in last week's transaction, although it wasn't explicitly stated, her performance was very much like a member of the Abraham family.
But Fors didn't want to sell out her teacher's information, she deliberated for a moment before asking, "What are you looking for them for?"
Cattleya sighed inwardly: As expected, she is a seemingly ordinary lady who actually hides many secrets and is very cautious and meticulous in her work.
She said: "I am looking for the direct descendants of the Abraham family, hoping to get the contact information of Mr. 'Door'. Perhaps we have opportunities for cooperation in this regard.
"Well, just for conveying the message, I will pay you 350 pounds in cash. If they are willing to contact, I will pay the remaining 650 pounds."
"As far as I know, they cannot effectively contact Mr. 'Door'," Fors said. "But I can help you convey the message."
As for the 350 pounds or something, she really doesn't care about it now, so she simply didn't mention the pounds.
If they had a way to communicate with Mr. 'Door', the Abrahams would have known long ago that the curse they were talking about was actually Mr. 'Door's' warning to family members.
Cattleya could see that Miss 'Magician' was almost certain that the Abraham family did not have a way to contact Mr. 'Door', which made her a little disappointed.
Then, as if holding on to the last hope, she asked 'The Emperor': "Mr. Emperor, do you know how to contact Mr. 'Door'?"
"Wasn't I clear enough before?" Hobert smiled helplessly: "Mr. 'Door' is very dangerous. Any creature that has communicated with Him may be corrupted.
"Even if I know, I can't tell you the contact information."
He only remembered to prepare various gems, and the specific ritual steps were already unclear.
Cattleya said: "Perhaps..."
"No perhaps!" Hobert said sternly for once: "Don't have any illusions about this world. Do I still have to teach you this?"
Cattleya smiled bitterly. The Queen Mystic certainly knew this, but when she encountered such an important clue, the Queen certainly wanted to ask Mr. 'Door' about the Great Emperor's situation.
She could roughly understand the Queen Mystic's mood. As far as she knew, the Queen's investigation and search had lasted for hundreds of years. Finally, she found important clues at the Tarot Club, so she would definitely take some action.
Hobert turned to Fors and said: "Even if the Abraham family has relevant information, don't trade with 'The Hermit', so as to avoid the tragedy that none of us want to see."
Miss 'Magician' nodded obediently: "Okay."
Klein behind the gray fog also felt that 'The Emperor's' handling was the most appropriate. Speaking of which, Roselle's diary provided him with so much help, and he was very grateful to Roselle in his heart.
At the same time, he and Roselle also had a 'hometown' friendship, and he couldn't watch his daughter make irrational decisions, but he didn't stop her.
If 'The Emperor' didn't stop her, he would have let 'The World' jump out to stop her.
Then Klein realized that if Bernadette was really so eager to know the answer, she might have directly prayed to 'The Fool', but she didn't do so.
It can be seen that she has not completely lost her mind, but just can't help but want to know more information.
Alger was somewhat gloating: 'The Hermit' also has irrational times. Women are indeed emotional animals.
'The Moon' Emlyn raised his chin: The Hermit usually looks quite smart, but I didn't expect her to be so foolish.
Audrey sighed in her heart: Mr. Hanged Man's expressions have already betrayed their thoughts. I suddenly have a deep feeling that they are not involved, and they can't understand the Hermit, or rather the Queen Mystic's feelings. I think the Queen Mystic may just want to know the contact information, and may not really contact him. As long as she knows that way, she may feel better in her heart.
The hall was quiet for a few seconds before Cattleya nodded slightly towards 'The Emperor': "Thank you."
She had also reminded the Queen Mystic, but soon she found that her reminder was useless. The Queen rarely had such irrational times.
At this time, cutting off all avenues for obtaining information may not be a bad thing for the Queen. After a while, when the Queen regains her sanity, she will no longer pursue this matter.
Audrey had completely returned to her previous state and asked other members: "Does anyone have any clues about the psychedelic wind chime tree fruit?"
"I have clues," Alger said after thinking for a moment. "But it will be at least two weeks before it is possible to obtain it."
"No problem!" Audrey was overjoyed, and didn't even ask the price.
It's been more than a month, and there are finally clues! Of course, there is no problem waiting another two or three weeks.
Hobert suddenly recalled that he had seized a 'Dreamwalker' Beyonder characteristic from 'Black Knight' and had been throwing it in the 'Nation of Disorder' without having time to crush it.
After re-aggregation, it also contains a 'Hypnotist' Beyonder characteristic, but considering that Audrey had previously bought a main material for 'Hypnotist', and he remembered that the psychedelic wind chime tree was not difficult to get, he would not grab Alger's business.
Then Hobert said: "Does anyone know the clues of the 'Life School of Thought'? Or does anyone have a way to make people have good luck for a certain period of time?"
Everyone looked at 'The Emperor': This guy is already lucky, what more good luck does he want?
Klein behind the gray fog found that he seemed to know the clues of the 'Life School of Thought' and also knew how to make people have good luck in a short time.
So he manipulated 'The World' and said: "I know where there is a way to temporarily gain good luck, but with the other party's level and ability, they are not interested in pounds. Before contacting Him, you must first think about how to pay the reward."
Hobert pondered for a moment: "How about three 'Worms of Time'?"
Everyone was stunned: Three... Worms of Time?
Derrick was stunned for a moment, then immediately coughed, as if something was about to cough out of his throat.
