Chapter 1162: Prophecy

Gehrman Sparrow has gone missing... Bernadette had a vague sense of

foreboding when the abnormally terrifying messenger returned. She had

roughly figured out what had happened. Therefore, after hearing the

other party's response, her expression sank slightly. There was no

obvious reaction.

Queen Mystic's blue eyes, which resembled a condensing sea, instantly

turned darker. They temporarily lost focus, as though she was looking at

a torrent of fate through Reinette Tinekerr.

Two to three seconds later, Bernadette suddenly closed her eyes, as if a

blinding light had appeared in front of her.

Blood-red liquid trickled from the corner of her eyes, accentuating her

pale face.

With her eyes tightly shut, Bernadette said in a slightly ethereal

voice, "Gehrman Sparrow is in grave danger. Darkness is devouring the

light, leaving behind only a sliver of hope."

This was a prophecy.

The Sequence 3 of the Mystery Pryer pathway was "Clairvoyant."

The four heads held by Reinette Tinekerr spoke one after another:

"What..." "Does..." "Darkness..." "Symbolize..."

Bernadette maintained her composure and said, "Desolation, aberration,

apocalypse, negativity, error."

Reinette Tinekerr, who was wearing a dark and complicated long dress,

didn't let the head in her hand speak any further. Throwing down the

letter and gold coin, she turned and walked into the void, disappearing

into the room.

Queen Mystic Bernadette stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds

without moving.

Finally, she opened her eyes again. Her blue eyes were hazy and

lifeless, as though she needed more time to restore her eyesight.

Bernadette thought for a moment and reached out her right hand.

The tablecloth was stowed away before being spread open once again. The

ritual items were replaced with a fountain pen, paper, and ink bottle.

The fountain pen suddenly leaped up, as if it was held by an invisible

sprite. It quickly wrote down the matter of Gehrman Sparrow's

disappearance onto the paper.

In the captain's cabin of the Future.

Despite looking at the fried mushrooms on her plate and taking in the

fragrance of the fat, Cattleya didn't pick up her cutlery for a long

time.

Suddenly, her spiritual perception was triggered. She turned her head to

look at the spot where the brass sextant was placed, and she realized

that a letter had appeared there at some point in time.

Cattleya immediately revealed a smile as she reached out to pick up the

letter and eagerly began reading it.

Gradually, she frowned.

"Gehrman Sparrow has gone missing..." Cattleya repeated the key point of

the letter in a low voice. She acutely felt that this matter was

somewhat serious.

She easily understood the meaning behind Queen Mystic's letter. Without

any hesitation, she bowed her head, clasped her hands, and recited an

honorific name in ancient Hermes:

"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era..."

Above the gray fog, the crimson star representing The Hermit came alive.

It began expanding and contracting, spreading out ripples of prayers.

They intertwined with the ripples created by the two crimson stars that

corresponded to The Magician and The Sun. They surged towards the

ancient and majestic palace, like tidal waves.

Someone is praying to Mr. Fool again... The echoes are getting even

stronger, and the sound is becoming more clear... Hmm, I can hear it

clearly, and the image is also clearer... This prayer seems to be from

Ma'am Hermit. Only she likes to wear ancient warlock robes...

Queen Mystic discovered that something has happened to Gehrman Sparrow?

Although I was worried that I would die this time and needed a certain

amount of time to revive, I had already hinted to the members of the

Tarot Club that I might cancel the gathering next week, but that was

just a hint. It wasn't a formal notice, nor was it clear enough. When

Monday comes, they'll definitely panic, pray, and try to make contact,

only to discover that Mr. Fool has also disappeared. No, "He" has run

off with The World. Klein used a deprecating comment to ease his

feelings.

He glanced at Amon, who was walking beside him. Without a word, he

lifted the lantern in his hand and said, "It should've been extinguished

long ago."

Wearing a pointed hat and black mage robe, Amon nodded slightly and

said, "I left it in a magical state. It can maintain its light for a

week without needing any fuel."

Klein thought for a moment and asked, "Is this the deceiving of natural

laws?"

Amon turned "His" head and used his monocled right eye to look at Klein

for a second before smiling.

"Smart.

"The 'Error' pathway's Sequence 3 is a more profound version of

'Swindler,' known as 'Mentor of Deceit.'"

It's about the same as my guess... However, it isn't only the Error

pathway that can do such a thing. The Black Emperor can use "Distortion"

and "Exploit" powers to achieve that... In his mind, Klein began

comparing the differences between the Marauder and the Lawyer pathway.

At this moment, Amon stroked "His" chin and asked with interest, "There

are less than three days left. If you don't think of a way to escape, it

will be too late.

"Do you plan on making a new attempt tomorrow?"

"...Make a guess." Klein forced a smile as he answered in the same

rhetoric manner that Amon was best at using.

To be honest, he didn't believe that the effects would be better given

more attempts.

On the one hand, frequent attempts were indeed able to test the limits

of Amon's powers. By expending the "items" that "He" had previously

stolen, Klein could establish a good foundation for the final battle.

But on the other hand, he would also expose his trump cards. After all,

he was in a passive state and had no chance to prepare. To force Amon to

showcase more of the means available to "Him," it required him to use

the few trump cards he had.

If his countermeasures were all figured out by Amon after his repeated

attempts, he wouldn't have any chance of escaping.

An attempt to escape was a double-edged sword. If one wasn't careful,

one would cut oneself!

It was precisely because of this that Klein didn't blindly take action,

and carefully made plans in his heart.

As he spoke, he walked out of the city that originally worshiped the

Mutant King and later believed in the ancient sun god. There were only

white bones and several stone structures that had been weathered by the

elements here that showcased its former prosperity.

Outside the city, there was an endless wilderness that couldn't be seen

in the lightning.

At 7 Pinster Street, Leonard sat on a sofa. He placed his feet on the

coffee table and leisurely flipped through the day's newspaper.

Yesterday, George III's death had brought them copious amounts of work.

He had spent the entire night on duty, and he received five hours of

rest today.

After sleeping for two hours, Leonard woke up in high spirits,

attempting to understand the current situation from the normal media.

In fact, as the captain of a Red Gloves team, he knew more than the

reporters about certain aspects. For example, in the outskirts of

Backlund, where the Tudor ruin was located, it had collapsed into a

rather large lake. It had nearly affected Dwayne Dantès's Maygur Manor.

Another was the death of George III, who had self-destructed at the

square, but wasn't the actual person. The search for his corpse was to

no avail, as though he had vanished into thin air that night.

Of course, Leonard was extremely certain that George III was already

dead. The eldest prince was about to inherit the title of Balam Emperor

and Loen King.

Back then, something had happened at Sefirah Castle. This matter

definitely has something to do with Mr. Fool... Klein had long warned us

about George III... The reactions of the three Churches were very

strange. Even the Church of the Lord of Storms, which is most prone to

acting rash, wasn't too angry... As Leonard flipped through the

newspaper, his thoughts wandered casually.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the slightly-aged voice of

Pallez Zoroast:

"Gehrman Sparrow's messenger is here."

Leonard suddenly looked up and saw the angel-level messenger wearing a

dark and complicated long dress appear in front of him.

The four blonde, red-eyed heads held by Reinette Tinekerr spoke one

after another:

"Gehrman..." "Sparrow..." "Has encountered..." "Extreme..."

"Danger..." "He has..." "Gone..." "Missing..."

Klein has encountered danger and disappeared? Leonard immediately

retracted his legs and stood up.

Without waiting for the reminder provided by Pallez Zoroast, his

spiritual perception stirred as he blurted out, "Is it related to the

death of George III?"

"Yes..." "He..." "Destroyed..." "The Apotheosis..." "Ritual..." "Of..."

"George..." "III..." The eight red eyes on Reinette Tinekerr's four

heads looked at Leonard.

Apotheosis ritual? Although Leonard was anxious, he was still shocked by

the phrase.

For someone to hold an apotheosis ritual, one had to be a Sequence 1

angel at the very least. Yet, Klein was able to directly participate in

something at that level... Mr. Fool's plan? Leonard's green eyes

glimmered slightly. Relying on his relatively rich experience, he

pointedly asked, "What happened to Klein the last time you saw him?"

The four blonde, red-eyed heads of Reinette Tinekerr shook and said,

"Possibly..." Under..." "Zaratul's..." "Pursuit..."

As Gehrman Sparrow's messenger, this Ancient Bane was able to sense that

"Her" employer had also left the Tudor ruins after escaping.

And as for those who understood the means of a Scholar of Yore, they

were undoubtedly High-Sequence Beyonders of the same pathway. Therefore,

Zaratul would definitely be able to obstruct and pursue him.

Zaratul? The leader of the Secret Order, the Sequence 1 angel, Zaratul?

As Leonard was worried about Klein, he felt fear and concern for the

life of his former colleague.

At that moment, a deep voice sounded in his mind:

"Ask 'Her' what other clues 'She' has."

Leonard immediately did as he was asked.

Reinette Tinekerr seemed to know that Leonard wasn't simple. She

repeated Queen Mystic's prophecy word by word.

After listening to what was said, Pallez Zoroast fell silent for a while

before sighing.

"Error...

"I think I know about your former colleague's current situation."

Leonard subconsciously wanted to ask, but because there were outsiders

around, he held back his urge.

Pallez paused and continued, "The anomaly with Sefirah Castle attracted

Zaratul. How could Amon not notice it?

"This should be related to the struggle for Sefirah Castle."

Sefirah Castle... Leonard slowly took a deep breath and said to Reinette

Tinekerr, "He might've fallen into the hands of Amon."

After Miss Messenger's four heads nodded and turned to leave, Leonard

immediately sat down and clasped his hands. Closing his eyes, he prayed.

"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era..."
