Chapter 566: The Details of Clothes

Klein's lips curled up in a slight nod in response to Miss Justice's

pleasant greeting.

He was just about to introduce The Hermit to everyone, and everyone to

The Hermit when he noticed that Miss Justice didn't stop. Her gaze

shifted to the other side as she greeted, "Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged

Man."

This time, she didn't follow the order of the tarot cards but followed

the order in which the person joined the Tarot Club.

*After this round of greetings, The Hermit will essentially get to know

everyone, and there's no need for The Fool to introduce her... Miss

Justice is obviously doing it on purpose. She's really considerate. As

long as a Beyonder of the Spectator domain gets serious, they act

differently for matters like this...* Klein was surprised for a

moment before he praised her silently.

At the same time, Alger responded to Audrey's greeting while cautiously

sizing up the new member.

*Female. It's barely possible to tell that she's wearing a black gown

with many patterns on it... Her hair is black and her eyes are a little

purple...* Alger managed to find certain traits in her blurred,

distorted image.

Suddenly, his heart sank as he recalled the scene he saw a few months

ago at the pirate convention.

Back then, scattered starlight had magically formed a long bridge

between the huge sailboat and the palace in the depths of the island.

Admiral of Stars Cattleya, who was wearing a black classical robe, had

walked in midair, carrying a celestial globe and a short scepter by her

waist.

And the celestial globe resembled the strange weather bottle that Alger

had previously received. The latter had coincidentally shattered after

he had been pulled into the gathering by Mr. Fool.

*Could it be her? She looks somewhat similar based on her attire... But

the Admiral of Stars wears glasses, while she doesn't... It cannot be

confirmed. It'll require further observation and evidence.

Unfortunately, I only saw her from afar and know little...*

*Regardless, I should be careful. When exchanging information, I should

try my best to avoid divulging details about my actual situation... The

World is Mr. Fool's Blessed; letting him know of my identity is totally

different compared to the others---no, the other members...*

*After the matter regarding the "Sea God," Mr. Fool has recovered a

considerable amount of strength. He's even able to pull in a powerhouse

like a pirate admiral?*

Thoughts flashed through Alger's mind as he slightly fidgeted in his

seat.

*Mr. Hanged Man's body language tells me that he is alert and guarded...

Does he know the female newcomer, or has he guessed something? How

intriguing...* Audrey's gaze swept across without leaving a

trace and landed on Derrick.

At this moment, Cattleya was also carefully and seriously examining the

members of the Tarot Club in the order they were greeted in.

The mysterious purple color in her eyes slowly flowed in an

indiscernible fashion. Although she couldn't truly see through the

blurry concealment of the fog, she could still make out the details of

their clothing.

*The Hanged Man, a man in his prime, in his thirties, and has messy hair

like seaweed with a rare deep blue color. This is a common mutation seen

in the Sailor pathway... He's wearing a robe with the patterns of storms

and waves... Someone from the Church of Storms?* Cattleya's

pupils contracted. She didn't show any abnormalities as she continued to

observe the rest of the members.

*The Sun, a young male, perhaps still underage. His attire is rare and

has a simple ancient sense of beauty. It's very tight, making it

suitable for combat. Is he a Beyonder in this aspect?*

*The World, neither an old man nor a young man. He has a gloomy

temperament and wears a hooded robe. Eh, he has a feeling as though he's

not a living person. Is this something similar to Senor or Steel Maveti?

Or some other Sequence I'm unaware of...*

*The Magician, a young woman, wears a common Loen-styled dress. Apart

from having a trait of languidness, she doesn't have any other

characteristics. This kind of person is the easiest to ignore, so she

needs to have more attention paid to her.*

*The Moon, a young man. He sits very casually. Black hair, red eyes, and

wears an Earth Mother priest robe... There seems to be only one

possibility for such a combination---a vampire...*

*As expected, the members of Mr. Fool's Tarot Club aren't that simple.

Just a preliminary judgment involves two Churches...* Cattleya

withdrew her gaze and met Audrey's gaze.

Sensing the other party's intention to ask, she nodded lightly.

"The Hermit."

Cattleya had spoken in ancient Feysac, deliberately avoiding the more

familiar languages of Intis and Loen, as she had done so back when she

was communicating with Mr. Fool.

And she had noticed one thing. Mr. Fool had previously told her that the

time the gathering was being held was at 3 p.m. on Monday, Backlund

time.

*Does this mean that the members of this gathering are currently

predominantly made up of people from Loen?* Cattleya made her

own judgment.

"Justice." Audrey smiled faintly in return. "Good afternoon, Ma'am

Hermit."

She had noticed what The Hermit had been up to and had summarized the

person's traits in her heart.

*She's a very cautious woman who has rich experience in the Beyonder

world. She's quiet but not introverted, and she's very confident in her

observation skills or certain abilities related to her eyes.

Furthermore, her clothing style and the short scepter hanging at her

waist indicates that her Sequence pathway leans towards mystery. This

requires confirmation. Perhaps it's just a hobby.*

At the same time, Cattleya also managed to clearly make out Miss

Justice's clothing.

*She wears two hanging earrings, and the earrings are small and

exquisite, inlaid with very high quality emeralds which accentuate her

emerald-green eyes. They're obviously worth a lot...*

*The necklace around her neck looks unique. It's lined with diamonds

that are quite difficult to count, but it's nothing

ostentatious...*

*Her milky-white dress is simple yet beautiful. It's tailored to be

elegant and befitting of her status, like the work of a stylish

designer...*

As she went through the details, Cattleya couldn't help but close her

eyes.

*A 17-18-year-old girl... Very rich... The way she moves and her

etiquette makes her highly suspect to be a noble with high status, a

Loen noble?* Cattleya didn't know why she sighed in her heart.

After a round of greetings from Audrey, there was no need for Klein to

introduce the original members of the Tarot Club to The Hermit or The

Hermit to the rest.

Just as she sat down, Audrey once again turned to the very end of the

long bronze table.

"Mr. Fool, I'm out of town and have only managed to find one page of

Roselle's diary."

At the last gathering, she had provided two pages, so she was two pages

short of paying off the debt. However, with her being in the manor, even

if she often went to the city, all she managed was to collect one diary

page.

In addition, due to the addition of the new member, Hermit, she was

careful not to mention the Psychology Alchemists. She didn't mention

Backlund or East Chester County at all.

Roselle's diary... Diary!? Cattleya almost lost control and

couldn't help quickly turning her head to look at Miss Justice, who sat

on the same side as her.

She clearly remembered that the tall and beautiful figure had once

sighed.

*"It's not a notebook. It's his diary. However, other than him, no one

else would be able to understand it."*

*The members of the Tarot Club know that Roselle's notebook is a diary?

Mr. Fool is collecting Roselle's diary? Is "He" trying to crack it to

find the secret hidden in that part of history? This is more like a

revived ancient god...* All sorts of confused and shocked

thoughts surfaced in Cattleya's mind.

She maintained her staidness, just turning her head in a normal fashion

to observe the first "transaction."

After experiencing many things and trudging her way towards becoming one

of the seven great pirate admirals, she understood that the most

important thing for her to do after joining the Tarot Club was to listen

more and speak less!

"Mr. Fool, I received three pages," Fors said with a smile.

They had been mailed by Dorian Gray.

At last week's gathering, as she hadn't received her teacher's response,

and due to the cold weather, she hadn't attended any Beyonder

gatherings, so she couldn't provide a single page.

Derrick followed immediately, "Mr. Fool, I've copied a new legend of the

ancient gods."

*Tsk, he's always using the legends of ancient gods as a perfunctory

payment...* Emlyn glanced contemptuously at The Sun.

Suddenly, he thought of something. Although The Sun claimed that the one

they worshiped was the Lord that created everything, he had never tried

to cover up the influence that Giant King, Aurmir, had on them. However,

he had never mentioned that Giant Queen Omebella was who the Kingdom of

Silver originally believed in.

*Could it be that the City of Silver isn't equal to the "Kingdom of

Silver"? I'll wait a minute and try it out...* Emlyn had never

been able to get over The Sun's earlier slandering of the Sanguine.

*Four pages of Roselle's diary, a legend of the ancient gods; that's

pretty good... I wonder if it contains information about the high elf,

Cohinem... Alas, after Mr. Hanged Man learned that The World is a

Blessed, I cannot make The World ask questions without any

qualms...* Klein thought quickly and said with a chuckle, "Very

good."

He helped Miss Justice, Miss Magician, and Little Sun conjure their

respective content, which flashed into the palm of his hand as he

casually browsed through them.

*Mr. Fool doesn't seem to be deciphering it... "He" can read Emperor

Roselle's diary? Wh-what's "His" background? What is "His" true

identity?* A sense of indescribable terror and dread suddenly

welled up in Cattleya's heart.

She quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the long bronze table, as

if she was memorizing the simple patterns on the table's surface.

*The reaction The Hermit showed when realizing that Mr. Fool is able to

read Roselle's diary exceeded my imagination. Is she concerned with this

matter, or is it somehow related to her?* Audrey pursed her lips

thoughtfully.

Although the other party hid it quickly and naturally, this was still

obvious enough for a Sequence 7 from the Spectator pathway.

Klein sensed the abnormality of the new member, The Hermit, because he

also wanted to see how this member of the Moses Ascetic Order, who had a

great deal of knowledge, would react to it. The result left him

surprised.

Isn't that a little too intense? Klein didn't have the luxury

of time to think about it as his gaze fell to the first page of

Roselle's diary.
