Chapter 111: "Fools" Why Suffer Being a Fool

Klein lowered his head, suppressed his embarrassment and shame, and pretended that he had been summoned above the gray fog. The clown's muscle control helped a lot.

Well, luckily I have tried the ritual of summoning myself and have seen what my body looks like after my soul leaves my body, so I just pretended and got by...

After all, I can't split myself into two and allow The Fool to gather with me at the same time.

——Klein had tried this before. The trumpet he manifested had a dull expression and awkward movements. Even though it was shrouded in gray fog, it was obvious that something was wrong with it.

A few minutes later, he suddenly raised his head, with panic, seriousness and excitement in his eyes, and said to the astonished old Blue:
"Mr. Blue, what just now... was that real? So magnificent..."

"...Of course, Klein, welcome to join our party. You may have guessed that my strength is far beyond my current sequence. This is all thanks to the blessing of that existence.

"You have the same special qualities, and you saw me use my trump card with the Hidden Sage before, so I introduced you to him, hoping that you can also receive the blessing and increase your strength.

“As for your colleagues and friends… I think there might be a chance to invite them to the party… But I don’t know much about them at the moment, so I hope you can help me tell them to keep a secret of what they saw today.

“I’m sorry, only now that you are allowed to enter Mr. Fool’s kingdom of God can I confess all this to you.” Old Blue said apologetically.

Klein tried to calm down and said:
“You don’t need to apologize, and don’t worry about Leonard and Mr. Azik. I have already asked them to keep it a secret.

“Mr. Fool is a kind god. He did not ask me to convert. He only gave me a test mission and asked me to complete it alone…

"It may take some time before I can join the party and have a seat and a code name like you, and become an official member, Mr. Priestess."

Old Blue nodded and said:

"Thank you, Klein.

“It seems that Mr. Fool has told you my code name. Since this is a test from Mr. Fool, I won’t ask any more questions. Haha, I look forward to your joining. I really want to know what your code name will be.

"By the way, I just went back to Tingen by chance this time. There are still some things going on in Backlund, and they don't know that I can travel through the spirit world, so I have to go back... If there is anything particularly urgent, remember to notify me, and be careful."

After saying that, Old Blue hurriedly fled. Acting with the "Best Actor" was really too much pressure!
Klein watched the old man step into the spirit world and leave. He couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Old Blue didn't suspect anything. He was now an inspection member of Mr. Fool's gathering before the gods!
Well, maybe the investigation will last for a long time. It all depends on what Mr. Fool means!

……

At No. 11 Daffodil Street, Admisol was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Opposite him, Ah Fu was lying on the carpet with Xiao Fu in his mouth. Xiao Fu seemed to have given up struggling and did not even move.

"...Afu! Didn't you tell me not to bite her to death?!" Old Blue shouted unhappily, nodded to Admisol who stood up in surprise, and motioned him to sit down.

The little rat seemed to have finally found its savior. It squeaked twice, and while Ah Fu was distracted, it immediately jumped onto the old man's right shoulder, crying softly.

Old Blue nodded her head, sat on the single sofa, touched the head of Alfu who jumped over excitedly, turned his head and said to the "monster" Admisol:

"Ade, all Tingen people owe you one. Your dream saved everyone, including me. Even if they don't know it... I want to thank you on behalf of all Tingen people." "No... it was you who saved me, it was you who saved Tingen! Please raise your head, I should thank you..." The monster Ade also hurriedly lowered his head and imitated the old man's bow.

"Well, let's thank each other. Well, let's say we saved Tingen together." Old Blue smiled and continued:
“Congratulations, Ade, you have become a true ‘monster’, an extraordinary person, and have finally escaped from the chaos.

"What are your plans for the future? Well, do you think of your past experiences? For example, your parents and relatives. Maybe you can go look for them?"

"No... Many of my memories are blurred. You and old Swain are my relatives. I don't want to leave Tingen. I want to help you and old Swain. I want to do things for you and repay your kindness..." Admisol's tone was firm and sincere. He knew very well who he relied on to survive until today.

"Haha, that's right, Ade, it's enough to have this intention, but at least go find your parents. Maybe they have their own difficulties in leaving you in Tingen.

"But for now, you should just follow the old guys and learn some common sense that Beyonders should know. When you can protect yourself, you can start a journey to find your relatives."

Old Blue estimated that Ade's parents should be members of the "Council of Fate" in the Life School. During the hunt by the Rose School, they had no choice but to let Ade go. Perhaps it was the guidance of fate? Who knows, such an illusory thing.

Click, old Bruce opened his pocket watch and saw that it was already 2pm. He said:
"It's getting late, Ade. I returned to Tingen secretly this time. Don't tell anyone, including old Swain. They think I'm still in Backlund.

"You should go back first and help old Swain take care of the market, and learn some extraordinary knowledge from little Jack. You are younger than him, so call him brother, and he will be happy to teach you."

"Yes... I won't say anything nonsense. You should be careful next time." Admisol looked determined and stood up and left.

Old Blue waved goodbye to him but did not see him off. Given their relationship, there was no need to be too formal.

"Woo woo... You are finally back. I was bullied by this dog so badly! I could not run away from it no matter how hard I tried. I stole things from its head, but in the end, it had nothing in it but thoughts of playing! Is this the dog you raised?" Little F Mouse wiped away his non-existent tears, and there was something else he didn't say: As expected, what kind of dog you are, you will have what kind of owner you are. They are all the nemesis of thieves!

——Even though Xiao Fu was only a Sequence 9 "Thief", she was once a genuine demigod, and the skills of using "Thief" were still engraved in her mind.

"Awooo~ New friend, so fun!" Ah Fu shook the air, uttered a word in Loenese, wagged his tail quickly, and nudged Old Blue's trouser leg.

"...I'm not your friend! I'm not fun!" Xiao Fu has already learned that this is a fortune-telling dog, not another "parasite" that has been reduced to its original form. She had tried to communicate with him before, which was simply an insult to the mouse's IQ!

Old Blue stroked his chin and watched Alfred and Little Fur bickering. A bad idea came to his mind immediately:
"Xiao Fu, how about you teach Ah Fu how to speak? Look, he can only say a few words now, he can't compare with you at all.

“Oh, I almost forgot, you weren’t originally a mouse.

"Well... let's put it this way. You two are both Sequence 9. You teach it, and when it advances, you advance as well. You will advance at whatever level it reaches..."

"I refuse! I accept."

Xiao Fu looked at Ah Fu, who was wagging his tail and looking dazed, with some despair, and felt that he would have to be a "thief" for the rest of his life.
