Chapter 958: Labeling

Dark red beams shot up, materializing into different figures on both

sides of the long bronze table.

The unchanging silence above the gray fog was broken as the eternal

palace seemed to have an additional, inexplicable sense of life to it.

Just as Justice Audrey regained her senses of her surroundings, she

prepared to stand up to greet the existence at the end of the long

bronze table.

At this moment, as a senior Spectator, she acutely noticed a difference:

There were two more members than last week!

One of them was a man sitting to the right of Mr. Moon. The other was a

lady sitting to the left of The Hermit.

Audrey first felt happy that the Tarot Club was developing and becoming

stronger, but then she kept to her professional instincts and quickly

began observing

Due to where she sat, the man opposite her was much easier to observe

compared to the lady two seats away from her. Therefore, she placed her

attention on the man.

Black hair... Green eyes... He doesn't wear a coat... A vest matched

with a shirt... He sits a little oddly. He's not accustomed to sitting

properly... He's probably about 180 cm tall... He has quite a desultory

temperament... He's rather tense... At one glance, Justice Audrey had

"read" plenty of information from the rather blurry figure.

She then noticed something different.

The man was quickly surveying his surroundings.

Such an action wasn't a problem in itself. Anyone who came to this

strange and secret location would definitely subconsciously size up the

other members and attempt to grasp their traits and general situation so

as to calm down. But the problem was that the man was moving his gaze

too quickly!

His gaze had swept past The Moon, The Hanged Man, and the other members

without pausing.

To Audrey, this was a very clear phenomenon. It didn't mean that the man

was observing his surroundings and studying the members, but that he was

finding someone!

He was looking for someone he had in mind!

Audrey instantly felt a little excited, as she believed that this

newcomer knew one of the members present!

Who could it be? She observed for another second and realized that the

man sitting diagonally opposite her had fixed his gaze on The World

Gehrman Sparrow.

Audrey was thrilled as though she had discovered a secret. She thought

in enlightenment, The newcomer is a friend of Mr. World, or it's at

least the case that they know each other in the real world. He also

knows that he's a Tarot Club member...

Or it could also be said that Mr. World had inducted him into the

gathering... No, that's not very possible. If that were the case, the

newcomer would be much more certain. He wouldn't be eagerly searching

for someone he knows. He definitely would've placed his gaze on the

other members for a longer period of time...

Furthermore, such an action also proves that he's not a Blessed of Mr.

Fool.

What is his relationship with Mr. World?

Audrey held onto her thoughts of continuing to observe as she stood up

and turned to face the seat

of honor.

During this process, she took the opportunity to sweep her gaze at the

new member sitting beside Ma'am Hermit.

She's exchanging looks with Miss Magician... Her height... Xio has

finally passed the test and joined the gathering? Upon identifying her,

Audrey did a curtsy towards the figure shrouded in gray fog.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool\~"

Just as she issued the brisk greeting, she realized something:

Mr. Fool is a little different from before.

This great existence seemed to be more one with the entire gray fog,

palace, and space. "His" aura was lofty and mighty, like the sea or sky.

This feeling isn't something that can be described with words... Mr.

Fool has taken one more step to "His" awakening, allowing him to

retrieve more of "His" authority over "His" divine kingdom? Audrey's

eyes darted around, feeling curious and delighted, as well as a little

sense of pride.

At this moment, The Hanged Man Alger and The Hermit Cattleya had noticed

the two new members. They noticed that the lady was a little short and

was secretly exchanging signals with Miss Magician. She was both

unfamiliar but also familiar with the Tarot Gathering. At the very

least, she was unlike the man in the white shirt and black vest. He had

frantically stood up only after everyone began bowing.

In addition, they sensed that the new male member took special notice of

The World Gehrman Sparrow, causing them to have many guesses.

These thoughts resonated in their minds, but they didn't express them.

The Hanged Man and The Hermit completed the usual first steps of the

gathering with Miss Justice.

As for The Sun Derrick, he was just happy because the Tarot Club had new

members again! The Moon Emlyn had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he

felt a sense of superiority being more senior compared to the newcomers,

but on the other hand, he had a feeling that there were just too many

messiahs for the apocalypse.

After some searching, The Star Leonard determined that the one sitting

at the bottom end of the long bronze table was Klein Moretti. This was

because his physical characteristics were similar to that of Gehrman

Sparrow's description.

He's hiding his true identity... He doesn't relax even in such a

secretive gathering, using two levels of disguises. I have to take

note... Just as this thought flashed across his mind, Leonard saw the

girl sitting to the left of Mr. Fool stand up. Then, she led everyone

into bowing.

He was taken aback, failing to react in time. He stood out when amongst

all the standing members.

After a second, Leonard snapped back to his senses and hurriedly stood

up to deliver the greeting.

Opposite him, Xio glanced at him, equating him to Fors to a certain

extent.

Fors shared the same thought; however, she had equated the man with Xio

to a certain extent. This was because Xio had appeared rather unreliable

when they first met.

"This is The Star, and this is Judgment. Take your seats and introduce

yourself." The Fool Klein raised his right hand and casually pointed.

The name "The Star" keeps making me think that it's the code name for a

lady... As Leonard thought in exasperation, he focused and began

labeling the members in the order of their introduction.

Miss Justice. Seems like a young lady, but she might've donned two

levels of disguise like Klein... She's rather optimistic and cheerful.

Although I can't tell the details of her attire, it appears to be very

classy...

Mr. Hanged Man. Burly, restrained. He's likely to be a straightforward

but rash person...

Miss Magician. The way she looks at me is weird. From time to time, she

will glance at Klein. I've no idea what's on her mind. She seems rather

ordinary overall with nothing standing out...

Mr. Sun. He's very tall, but the way he speaks sounds like he's going

through puberty. Although he's silent, he does seem rather friendly...

Miss Hermit-uh, Ma'am Hermit. She exudes a mature and staid demeanor.

She's likely a very experienced Beyonder...

Mr. Moon. Rather young and looks a little reserved. Makes me feel like

I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't recall it. I'll continue

observing...

Miss Judgment. Very short with very obvious traits. However, I can't be

sure if she has donned two levels of disguises...

The World. Very, very gloomy. This is likely his disguise... Well, it

might also be his true nature... He wasn't a demigod before, meaning

that this gathering has no lack of Mid-Sequence Beyonders. I wonder if

I'm the weakest one...

As Leonard was observing the other members, Judgment Xio Derecha was

also using her powers as a Sheriff to extract the traits of the

different members and keeping them in mind.

A noble lady... Sailor or a crewmember... Rather young and introverted,

but it's not serious... Rather strong. The leader of at least a

mid-sized team... Arrogant, of pretty good family background...

Desultory, not staid... Gloomy, terrifying...

Amidst their thoughts, the other members finished their

self-introduction. The Hermit Cattleya looked towards the end of the

long bronze table and said with a bow, "Honorable Mr. Fool, I didn't

receive any new Roselle diary pages this time."

Didn't receive... Does this mean that Queen Mystic didn't reply? I

wonder what Bernadette is busy with... The Fool Klein nodded and calmly

replied, "Begin the transactions then."

As he said that, Audrey noticed the reactions of The Hermit and The

Hanged Man. She realized that they had yet to notice Mr. Fool turning

loftier and sublime.

Was I the only one who noticed it? Audrey darted her eyes slightly in

thought, feeling somewhat poignant and a little happy.

Of course, she also knew that Ma'am Hermit and Mr. Hanged Man didn't

dare to look at Mr. Fool too much, especially the former. Most of the

time, she only dared to look at the table edge in front of Mr. Fool.

Table edge... Eh, there's an additional Card of Blasphemy! Audrey's gaze

froze before she retracted it in pleasant surprise.

With her intuition as a Spectator, she was quite certain that the

obtaining of the new Card of Blasphemy was likely to be the same matter

as The World Gehrman Sparrow's mental problems but with different

outcomes.

She hesitated for a moment and observed the area.

"I have nothing I need."

Cattleya, Derrick, Emlyn, and Fors had already made preparations and

were about to advance; therefore, they didn't have any requests.

Likewise for Alger who was still digesting his potion.

Instead, it was Leonard who had the desire to purchase a mystical item.

However, with no one showing him an example, he was momentarily unsure

how to begin. All he could do was divert some attention to considering

Mr. Fool's need for Roselle diaries.

After selling Tinder, he wasn't lacking in money. Furthermore, having

had the experience using Creeping Hunger, he realized that having a

powerful mystical item was rather useful.

At this point, Fors looked at the silent Xio before looking opposite

her.

"Mr. Hanged Man, I have a material that I wish to be made into a

mystical item by that Artisan."

She was referring to the ancient wraith powder that Xio had.

Alger shook his head.

"That Artisan has been controlled by some members of the Rose School of

Thought who believe in the Primordial Moon. That's all I know. The

subsequent matters have been left to Ma'am Hermit to handle."

Rose School of Thought... Primordial Moon believers... Left to Ma'am

Hermit to handle... Leonard and Xio looked around and suddenly realized

that the gathering they were participating in wasn't as loose as they

imagined.

They were secretly traversing through the shadows of the world!
