Sequence 6

It was time of tarot club meeting and Audrey was excited because she help Mr. Fool's bless in his mission and wanted to know what was the mission but she can't ask him directly.

She also indirectly give book to two ladies with the Fool's honorific name.

And her friends invite her for a tea party and they invite Kance. He is a member of MI9. "Why are they wanted to meet."

She send her maid outside and said she wanted to take some sleep.

...

On a ship, Alger was waiting for tarot meeting and spent his time in captain's cabin.

...

In the City of Silver .

Derrick Berg was sweating on the practice grounds . His vision suddenly blurred as a heavy fog entered his view . He saw The Fool sitting high above, deep within the fog .

He froze, then stopped whatever he was doing and bowed his head .

When the illusion vanished, he counted his heartbeats silently and carried his silver sword to a rest area quickly .

A thousand heartbeats later, he locked himself in a bathroom .

After about ten breaths, he saw the red light swell over him and swallow him in an instant .

Above the gray fog, Klein leaned back into his chair and tapped his left molar twice to stealthily activate his Spirit Vision .

He saw that the mottled color deep within The Sun's Ether Body had turned pure, akin to the light of dawn . He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr . Bard . "

Derrick lowered his head and replied humbly, "This is all due to your assistance . This is but the beginning . "

He wasn't surprised that The Fool knew that he had consumed the potion .

Klein took out his silver pocket watch and looked at the time . He chuckled and said, "Then let us start the gathering . 

As he was speaking, he established a connection with the crimson stars representing Justice and The Hanged Man before pulling them into the majestic palace .

Audrey looked at the scene before her and immediately greeted him .

"Good afternoon, Mr . Fool .

As she spoke, she suddenly saw a card covered with a complicated pattern on the table to the right of The Fool .

It was lying there quietly, casually, like an ordinary object .

she subconsciously glanced at The Hanged Man, and she found that they had also noticed the new member a teenager.

Hanged man also noticed him.

However, their eyes and actions revealed their doubts and astonishment, as well as their inevitable conjectures . After all, a card that could be placed by the mysterious and lofty Mr . Fool was definitely not an ordinary item.

Fool also noticed justice gaze and said "What do you want in return of your contribution. And welcome to our new member Sun."

Hanged man noticed that justice fulfilled some missions and she get rewarded for it. " I have not contributed enough in church or club either. I needed to give my all." Hanged Man thought.

Audrey thought and she follows her curiosity and ask "Mr. Fool what is this card."

"I am glad you ask it's a Card of Blasphemy that hides one of the paths of the divine. They are created by Roselle. That is the Dark Emperor card .

"The corresponding Sequence 9 is Lawyer . "

That's a Card of Blasphemy created by Emperor Roselle, a treasure that countless Beyonders in the mysterious world dream of! Audrey thought if Spectator has a card also.

Fool then speak again "it was just a simple knowledge. You can exchange something else like potion formula or anything else."

Audrey thought and said "Then I want formula of sequence 8 corresponding to Spectator."

"The Telepathist potion formula? Telepathist that is followed by Psyche Analyst?"

Audrey looked towards him puzzledly . "You know of it?"

At the same time, Miss Justice saw a problem through her instinct as a Spectator .

The young man had used the ancient title "Psyche Analyst" instead of the modern term, "Psychiatrist!"

This guy is very strange… Audrey examined Sun's every movement .

Derrick didn't think that he behaved any differently but replied seriously, "I can get you the formula!"

Then, he felt guilty as he couldn't provide it immediately . He tried his best to explain himself, "It's a Sequence pathway that stemmed from the Dragon race . And our City of Silver was once ruled by the Giant King's imperial household . As you know, the Giants and the Dragons are sworn enemies . Hence, the City of Silver has all of Sequence 9, 8, and 7 . I have ways to get them . "

Klein smiled inwardly he speaks with justice in open manner because he wanted to sun hear it.

Giant King, Dragon race, the City of Silver… Audrey was confused . She first took a look at The Hanged Man opposite her, but she could tell that he was shocked and confused as well from his body language .

She looked sideways towards the seat of honor on the long bronze table . She saw The Fool sitting on the high chair, engulfed in thick grayish-white fog . His right arm was placed on the armrest while he leaned sideways leisurely . He showed no shock, no curiosity, no thoughts, and no doubt . He only looked at them with a smile .

He knows… He knew all of this… Audrey and Alger made the definite judgment almost at the same time .

"The City of Silver, I've never heard of this place… Where is it?" Audrey probed while Alger listened attentively .

At that very moment, Derrick Berg's head was filled with questions as well . He could tell that, besides the godlike Fool, Justice and The Hanged Man were some sort of Beyonder .

In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, besides the people in the City of Silver, Derrick had never seen another living human .

So, he asked in reply, "If you aren't residents of the City of Silver, which city-state are you from?"

Audrey trembled her lips, momentarily at a loss for words .

Yes, the hidden meaning behind his question is that if you don't want to answer a similar question, don't pry into the questions about where the other person lives… Miss Justice nodded faintly and elegantly kept quiet .

Obviously, Alger had misunderstood The Sun's intentions as well . He didn't know the other person was really just asking straightforwardly . So, he kept quiet too .

When Derrick didn't receive any reply, he seemed to realize what was happening . He didn't bring it up again and instead said,

"I will try to get the Telepathist potion formula as soon as possible . I would like to use it to exchange for the Sequence 8 of sun pathway."

"Sun Sequence pathway? Sequence 9 Bard?" Alger asked in reply .

Sun nodded.

Fool smiled and said, "I believe Miss Justice doesn't have the Sequence 8 formula."

Seeing Audrey nod, Klein continued with a faint smile, "I will give The Sun the Sequence 8 potion formula. Miss justice get Sequence 8 Telepathist potion formula from sun. It's simple."

Audrey finally saw her hope of becoming a Sequence 8 Telepathist . What other thoughts could she have? She suppressed her excitement and flashed a faint smile as she said, "I have no objections . "

"Neither do I . " Derrick problem for Sequence 8 potion is concluded and he just need to get contribution for Sequence 8.

When everything was settled Fool said you can begin.

"It's our honor . " Alger had already reined in his dissatisfaction as he answered humbly .

Audrey thought for a moment before smiling .

"Mr . Fool, the open selection of government officials through examinations that you described previously has already garnered the support of the King and the Prime Minister . It will soon be passed by the House of Lords and the House of Commons and is predicted to be implemented early next year . "

"It looks like the King and the Prime Minister still use their brains," Alger mocked out of habit .

Well, with Benson's intellect and diligence, his grammatical and accounting skills should be passable by early next year… But once it's passed by the two Houses, it will definitely be announced widely by the various newspapers . I wonder how long Benson's advantage will last? The earlier the examination, the better…

Sigh, there's no way Benson can triumph over the elites who graduated from the various universities in such a short period of time . But he need not compete against them; the positions they're fighting for wouldn't be the same . Those people might only have their sights trained on positions such as the Cabinet secretary, or Finance secretary… The silent Klein worried for his brother as he nodded his head with a smile .

Audrey straightened her back when she saw The Fool's affirmative nod . She said with a smile, "Mr . Hanged Man, you got me to check on something for you previously . I've received an answer . The King has been convinced by the Prime Minister and won't seek revenge on the Feysac Empire at the East Balam Shore for the time being . I think you can now give me the extra payment that you promised me . "

Alger thought for a few seconds before saying, "Miss Justice, thank you for your answer . This eases my concerns over certain things . What kind of extra payment do you want? I'll consider it if it's within reason . "

Audrey smiled, obviously prepared 

"I will tell you about it in future."

"No problem," Alger said without hesitation .

Two seats away from The Hanged Man, Derrick Berg couldn't understand a single word . He was very confused, feeling that he only understood a few terms, but couldn't string them together to provide any logical sense .

A method of selecting officials through examination? A King and Prime Minister, House of Lords, House of Commons, East Balam Shore, Feysac Empire, Psychology Alchemists? He understood none of that .

Feysac, the root of the word came from Jotun . What connection did it have with the fallen Giant King's imperial household? Derrick looked at Justice and The Hanged Man, suddenly having the feeling that they might not come from the same world .

Could there be another city-state, or one that had formed a nation, somewhere far away from the City of Silver in the cursed lands? Derrick remained silent and listened on .

To be able to gather people this far away from each other, disregarding the terrifying monsters hiding in the darkness of the cursed lands, The Fool might really be a god, an ancient god… he thought .

After accomplishing everything that she set out to do, Audrey wanted to become a silent observer, but she suddenly remembered something . She spoke in a hurry, "I recently came into contact with a Beyonder circle and found out about a powerful person named Mr . A . Mr . Fool, Mr . Hanged Man, Mr . Sun, do you know of this person's background and identity?"

I don't even know what you're talking about… Derrick maintained his silence .

Alger looked at The Fool and found him calm and unchanging . It was hard to read his true thoughts . Thus, he said in a deliberative tone, "The Aurora Order is at odds with the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, so members of these Churches understand the Aurora Order more than any other organization . And I happen to know something about them . "

You need not explain, I know that you come under the Lord of Storms . Of course, you could be a whistleblower.

Alger knew that he couldn't hide his Sequence pathway from The Fool, but didn't pay too much attention to it and continued .

"The Aurora Order has five Saints and twenty-two Oracles . These Oracles use the alphabet as their code names, such as Mr . A or Mr . X . They are Beyonders, with the weakest being Sequence 7 and the strongest Sequence 5 . They are all adept at hiding themselves . Should a Oracle die, a new Oracle will take their place . "

"I cannot guarantee that the Mr . A you spoke of is the Mr . A from the Aurora Order, but there is a good possibility . As for the details of the Aurora Order, I have mentioned that to you before . "

Audrey nodded, becoming even more cautious of Mr . A .

She said, feeling a little pinch in her heart, "Thank you for your answer, Mr . Hanged Man . You need not make a payment anymore . "

"No, I wish to ask for your help with the answer just now, as well as provide extra compensation," Alger said with a deep voice .

"What help?" Audrey asked curiously .

Alger thought for a few seconds before saying, "I received intelligence that the pirate Qilangos, codenamed Rear Admiral Hurricane, has secretly gone onshore and infiltrated Backlund . I don't know what he's up to, but I hope that you can help me locate his whereabouts . As for whatever happens afterwards, you need not put yourself in danger . "

"Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos? One of the seven great admiral pirates?" Audrey widened her eyes, almost unable to maintain her Spectator state .

What was the thing she wanted to do the most after she became a Beyonder? It was, of course, to interact with the people that only existed in the fables of the nobles!

"Yes, he's a Sequence 6 Beyonder of the path of the Sailor, a Wind-blessed . He also has a miraculous item that could be classified as a Sealed Artifact . He's quite crafty and cruel . Don't attempt to deal with him," Alger introduced seriously .

"Come here bro I will tell you everything." Klein thought in mind. But he just tapped on table.
