Alger's Envy

Klein activated his Spirit Vision and observed her a few times. Through his familiar aura, he confirmed that this Miss Judgment was Xio Derecha, who he had previously pulled into the gray fog.

Furthermore, Mr. Tower didn't show any signs of surprise or shock. He likely knew that Miss Xio would dress up like that…

That's right. They were so close that even if Miss Xio disguised herself, she wouldn't hide it from Mr. Tower.

However, this disguise that didn't look anything like the original was ridiculous. Should I say that he was indeed a spy from MI9? He was indeed professional!

After lampooning inwardly, The Fool Klein casually pointed in Xio's direction and said with a smile, "This is the newly joined Miss Judgment."

When Judgment Xio saw Mr. Fool, who resembled a god, mention her, she immediately stood up elegantly, displaying her height of 1.6 meters. Then, she curtsied and simply greeted everyone as a way of getting to know each other.

The way she phrased her words was very unique to Backlund. her actions were elegant and standard, and she should've received a good education as a noble…

However, the regal dress she's wearing probably wasn't made by a famous artist. She doesn't have much jewelry, and the style isn't fashionable…

In conclusion, Miss Judgment should've come from a family of abject nobles or a family of merchants who had just been promoted…

But it's not absolute, because it might be a deliberate disguise by Miss Judgment. After all, if she really wore the style designed by a master, her identity might be easily identified…

Even I, apart from coming to this ancient palace without any preparations the first time, have been wearing ordinary home clothes for the subsequent Tarot Gatherings.

As Audrey observed Judgment's actions, she used her Spectator Beyonder powers to analyze and make a judgment.

Alger's attention was focused on something else. The tone in which "Tower" responded to Miss Judgment's greeting was very casual and even somewhat familiar. It didn't seem like it was their first meeting…

Could it be that Miss Judgment is one of the members that Mr. Fool recommended to The Tower? She passed the test?

Why did "He" so eagerly raise his faction within the Tarot Club?

Alger glanced at Tower beside him and slipped into deep thought.

As for The Sun, he looked curiously at Judgment, as though he was guessing if she came from the City of Silver region where he was, or from the normal world where Mr. Tower and Mr. Hanged Man were.

From her clothes, she should come from the normal world… After all, how was she supposed to fight in such clothes?

At this moment, seeing that Xio had already exchanged greetings with the crowd, Abna was the first to stand up and bow to Mr. Fool. "Honorable Mr. Fool, thank you for your help. I brought three pages of Roselle's diary this time, but I've also found the rest of the diary. I'll make up for it later."

Upon seeing this, Xio hurriedly got up and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Fool… I will help Mr. Tower gather the diary pages together."

This was something that Ebner had discussed with Xio in advance. After all, it was difficult for them to hide the fact that they knew each other well. Even if they could hide it from each other at one or two Tarot Gatherings, it was only a matter of time before they exposed themselves. Therefore, it was better to directly point it out. After all, other than Mr. Fool, even if others knew, there was no way to confirm their identities.

Mr. Fool saved Mr. Tower? No, it's more likely that he saved Miss Judgment! This lady might very well be the one who Mr. Tower recommended and had accepted the mission of investigating the first Baron Lamud!

Was it because of that investigation that put Miss Judgment in a life-and-death situation, so Mr. Fool displayed his might in reality for the first time? And Miss Judgment also joined the Tarot Club because of this?

I really want to see Mr. Fool take action with my own eyes! That would definitely be very, very exciting… I wonder if I can get Miss Judgment to repeat it?

No, Audrey, stop your dangerous thoughts… To discuss it in person is being disrespectful to Mr. Fool!

Many thoughts flashed through Audrey's mind. Finally, a look of envy and yearning appeared on her face, but she quickly recovered her Spectator state.

Alger said to himself, "as expected." Then, he was surprised that "Tower" could actually get Mr. Fool to save him!

Even though he had paid the price, the fact that Mr. Fool was willing to take action implied how much this god doted on Tower!

The series of actions that "Tower" had done to help The Fool escape was indeed for a purpose! This was likely his goal!

Mr. Fool is actually so generous to his believers and Blesseds!

With this in mind, Alger, who had discovered Mr. Fool's new usage method, couldn't help but feel a sense of envy… He was the one who joined the Tarot Club first…

Hence, Alger glanced at The Fool and suddenly said,

"Mr. Fool, I'm about to receive a batch of Emperor Roselle's diary pages. I believe that I'll be able to present them to you the next time, or at the next gathering."

According to the arrangement of the Church of the Lord of Storms, Pritz Harbor was under the jurisdiction of the Backlund diocese. Therefore, Alger could enter the capital by reporting on his previous voyage and wait for Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos to reveal himself.

Backlund had been the headquarters of the Church of the Lord of Storms until the end of the last epoch, when the Loen Kingdom was established. Only then did they move their holy altar to Pasu Island. Therefore, regardless of the angle, the Backlund diocese of the Lord of Storms was second only to the headquarters of the seven major Churches. The richness of the information was imaginable.

Under such circumstances, Alger was very confident that he could gather Roselle's diary which was half-open for the Church's Beyonders to study.

Upon hearing that, Klein deliberately let his tone carry some joy as he nodded.

"Very good."

His true emotions were a mixture of joy and worry. He was delighted that he would soon be able to see many pages of Roselle's diary. There might be a lot of useful information on them, but he was also worried about what he should use to exchange for them with The Hanged Man. After all, no one knew if there was anything in those diary pages that would garner The Hanged Man's interest, or if there was anything valuable in those pages.

There's no need to worry about the tower for now. The Hanged Man is going to put me in a difficult position again… Even a Seer has its limits… Klein sighed silently.

At this moment, Ebner had already conjured the three pages of Roselle's diary, waiting for Klein to Teleport them to his hand.

In the three pages he handed in this time, two of them were given to him by Fani last time. In other words, it recorded that Roselle had set up the Black Suits organization, as well as a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Sauron family suddenly coming to life and becoming the mastermind behind the Intis internal strife.

As for the page of "Roselle used the former Balam Empire's princess, Bruna, to escape Behrens, and" Pale Justice," it was temporarily suppressed by Ebner. After all, the contents of this page overlapped with the content of the diary he had previously fabricated. Although it wasn't contradictory, it was better to avoid it as much as possible.

Therefore, the third page he handed in was actually a completely incomprehensible "messaging" that lacked a drawing.

Soon, three pages of the diary appeared in Klein's hands.

Ebner, Audrey, and company began to wait in silence, accustomed to such matters.

Only Xio was participating in it for the first time. Although she had already heard Ebner's description, she was still surprised that The Fool could really read Roselle's words.

At this moment, Klein, who was sitting at The Fool's seat, looked down and read the first page.

… I've decided. I'll just call it the Man in Black organization…

"…I have to thank the Savant potion. Without it, I definitely wouldn't have thought of the word 'rampant'…"

Man in Black? That sounds like Roselle. Does he treat spies and members of secret organizations as "alien"? Hmm… In a sense, the people here are indeed "alien" to transmigrators like Roselle and me!

In addition, alright… I admit that even if I were to read "rampant" once, I wouldn't be able to write it even if I turned around. I'll probably have to use dream divination to recall it…

As Klein lampooned, he made a self-deprecating comment. Soon, he turned the page and cast his gaze on the second page.

… There's actually the influence of that Grade 0 Sealed Artifact from the Sauron family that suddenly came alive! No, to be precise, it's the true mastermind behind the scenes!

This… I remember mentioning a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact in the previous diary page…

From what the Emperor said, it was the mastermind behind the Sauron Dynasty's upheavals. The Emperor was just trying to coincide?

What's its goal? To gain freedom? Why do I have a nagging feeling that there's a huge conspiracy behind this…

Could the last page contain the Emperor's detailed introduction of the Sealed Artifact?

With this in mind, Klein picked up the last page in anticipation. With just a glance, he wished he could burn the diary page.

Thankfully, his Clown powers allowed him to conceal his emotions very well. With the gray fog's obstruction, even Miss Justice and Miss Judgment, who were secretly observing him, didn't notice anything amiss.

Putting down the diary, Klein looked up and surveyed the area. Seeing that Justice Audrey was about to speak, he gestured for her to wait before conjuring a few goatskin parchments.

"This is the meaning of a portion of Roselle's secret symbols. It's considered free knowledge, so that you can better collect the diary pages."

It included numbers and dates.

Just the dates alone can eliminate most counterfeits… Klein secretly sighed. He could no longer tolerate such counterfeits.

Audrey and company were abnormally surprised. They never expected Mr. Fool to really teach them the corresponding meaning of Roselle's text. Although they had already discovered that the secret symbols on the goatskin were the simplest ones, they all believed that this was a good beginning. With a first time, there would be a second time, and a third time!

Only Ebner pretended to be delighted as he secretly sighed. It seemed like using random code to make up the numbers wouldn't work in the future…
