Chapter 205: Amon of the Fifth Epoch

'Mr. World really seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Pope. He looks very worried about Mr. Pope, which is nice. I wish I had a friend like that too. Uh, Susie doesn't count; she should be considered my assistant…' Audrey observed "The World" with the corner of her eye and sincerely sighed. She then thought about how her golden retriever Susie was almost catching up to her in terms of potion digestion progress, making her feel a bit pressured.

At first, when Susie unexpectedly became a Spectator, Audrey had envisioned their relationship as Detective Audrey and her assistant Susie. However, as time passed, she increasingly felt that their roles might reverse.

For instance, becoming Detective Susie and her assistant Audrey.

'No, no, no, that's too strange. I must work hard to play my role; I absolutely cannot let Susie surpass me…' Miss Justice clenched her fist under the bronze long table, encouraging herself silently.

Alger naturally didn't have as much emotional depth as miss Justice and Little Sun. He wasn't familiar with the Pope, nor did he see the Tarot Club members as trustworthy partners like Miss Justice did. However, Alger also began to ponder the relationship between the Pope and the War Angel.

The Fool Klein felt a jolt in his heart. Others might not know the relationship between Lynn and the War Angel, but he did. Although Lynn had no memory of this aspect before, it was evident he had remembered part of it now.

However, Klein didn't expect the War Angel Medici to have fallen already, which meant his well-intentioned commission had inadvertently reopened Lynn's emotional wounds.

Faced with the other members of the Tarot Club, Klein couldn't apologize to Lynn or show concern directly, as that would expose Lynn's identity and information. He could only cast a concerned glance at Lynn, similar to what Miss Justice and Little Sun Derrick had done.

The only consolation for Klein was that Lynn's additional words might suggest that Medici hadn't completely fallen.

'Perhaps the War Angel hadn't completely fallen or had resurrected later?' The Fool Klein couldn't help but speculate. Although he hadn't fully witnessed the undead nature of high-sequence beings in this world, as someone who had read many novels, Klein had the imagination for it.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Originally trying to highlight his pitiful persona, Lynn was taken aback by the concern from the Tarot Club members. He then pursed his lips, smiled at everyone, and said, "I just remembered some family matters, so I couldn't control my emotions."

As for what family matters they were, Lynn didn't elaborate, and the other members of the Tarot Club didn't press for details.

Even the most curious Miss Justice wouldn't ask questions when Mr. Pope was clearly in a bad mood; it would be like rubbing salt in his wounds.

Naturally, The Fool wouldn't continue the topic either. Although he would definitely bring it up with Lynn after the Tarot Club meeting, for instance, passing on a diary, it was better to change the subject now.

So, Klein manipulated The World to look at Little Sun Derrick and asked, "Did the Beyonder weapon that I provided last time came useful?"

Although there were some deviations from the original, Little Sun Derrick still sought a Beyonder weapon at the Tarot Club, and the one he traded with was the World. However, this time the World sought different spiritual materials instead of those needed for the Magician. Eventually, Little Sun Derrick received an axe as his weapon.

It seemed he had a special fate with axes.

The topic naturally shifted from there. After Little Sun and World discussed the Beyonder weapon, The Hanged Man mentioned his upcoming participation in a grand pirate gathering on the Sonia Sea.

This naturally piqued the interest of the other members, who discussed it for a while. Afterward, The Hanged Man sought a Wind-blessed item, eventually reaching a deal with the revitalized Pope.

The transaction segment ended there, and it quickly moved to the free communication phase for sharing information.

Perhaps hoping to increase his own value, The Hanged Man was particularly active this time. He not only introduced the new pirate admiral, Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy, but also detailed other pirate admirals and the four pirate kings, along with other sea rumors, such as various treasure legends and the unique customs of some islands. The Tarot Club members listened with great interest.

Encouraged by The Hanged Man's enthusiasm, the other members were more active in sharing information. Among them, what caught Lynn's attention was something Little Sun mentioned.

It was an event that existed in the original work—a Silver City exploration of a temple that once worshipped the True Creator.

After this, as Mr. Fool's spirituality couldn't hold out any longer, he naturally announced the end of the Tarot Club.

'From the original novel, Silver City's exploration of the True Creator's temple should be safe this time, without causing corruption. The real problem is the next time, during Elder Lovia's exploration. Of course, there were also issues with the Chief's exploration, but they were mostly resolved.'

After leaving the gray fog, Lynn opened his eyes, still pondering the matter Little Sun Derrick had mentioned.

To be honest, Lynn didn't have a good solution for this matter. At most, he could only provide some help to Little Sun Derrick when he goes exploring. As for those who might be corrupted by the True Creator, there was nothing Lynn could do.

He couldn't go to the Forsaken Land, and Little Sun Derrick himself was in no position of influence. Plus, given Silver City's special circumstances, he really couldn't stop this problematic exploration.

As for calling the True Creator and asking Him not to corrupt the people of Silver City?

If the True Creator had that kind of rationality, He wouldn't have driven His followers mad.

And considering that Elder Lovia, who believed in the True Creator, maintained a certain degree of sanity, it's evident that the people being Corrupted were affected by the residual contamination in the True Creator's temple rather than the True Creator Himself.

Even if the True Creator had that rationality, it might not work in this situation.

'I can only provide some high-quality purification scrolls of Little Sun pathway to possibly eliminate the contamination and wish them good luck…' Lynn sighed. As for how Little Sun would reasonably explain the scrolls, that wasn't his problem; it was up to the other high-IQ members of the Tarot Club to figure it out.

Compared to the True Creator's temple, Lynn was actually more concerned about another matter.

Amon!
