Chapter 21 Justice Audrey: Mr. Priestess is more like the elder of the Ninth Tarot Club!
Justice Audrey was more confused than anything else. She found that what the new member, Sun, said was a little hard to understand...

Just now she subconsciously asked "Where is Silver City?", and after being asked back by Sun, she politely stopped asking.

Until just now, the questions and answers between Mr. Priestess and Mr. Sun had completely confused her.

"The Lord who created everything? The omniscient and almighty God? Is this the name of the god they believe in? What kind of god is this who dares to claim to be omniscient and almighty? Is it recorded in Mr. Sun's textbook? What kind of textbook would actually record such secrets?"

Justice Audrey subconsciously looked at the Fool, only to see that the Fool, who was wrapped in thick gray fog, seemed to have finally shown some interest, and chuckled:
"Does Silver City still believe in gods?"

Audrey pricked up her ears quietly, entering the “audience” state, waiting for the “Sun” to answer. She was excited, “As expected of Mr. Fool! Only he, who is almost godlike, is qualified to ask such a question!”

Sun Derrick replied in a respectful tone:

"We still believe in the Lord who created everything, the all-knowing and all-powerful God."

As expected! Audrey's curiosity was satisfied. "The 'myth' described by the sun just now has certain omens. As expected! They don't believe in the seven mainstream orthodox gods, nor the death god of the southern continent, nor the secret existence and evil gods and demons that Mr. 'Hanged Man' told him about, such as the original witch, the hidden sage, the dark side of the universe, the bound god, and the true creator."

"They actually believe in the 'Creator' himself! Is this the primitive worship described by Mr. 'Hanged Man'? Hmm, the description of omniscience and omnipotence is a bit strange..."

Audrey observed that the Hanged Man's body movements and facial expressions were very stiff, as if he was hiding something... As expected, these secrets were a huge shock to the Hanged Man! Even though he was an experienced Beyonder!
——High-end Tarot will put us on the same starting line! Of course, it is an extraordinary world.

Audrey waved her fist, then felt that it was not reserved enough, so she put it down and continued to observe.

"As both new members, Mr. Priestess seems more mature than Mr. Sun... That's right, he is so old, he must be an experienced Beyonder... He is very adaptable to the Tarot Club... It even makes me feel that he is a veteran who has experienced eight Tarot Clubs? Obviously, Mr. Hanged Man and I are..."

“Even if He has forsaken you?”

“What? What do you mean?” Audrey asked back after hearing Mr. Fool’s chuckle, but she didn’t react much to it. However, she suddenly discovered that the Hanged Man and the Priestess, whom she defined as “experienced Extraordinaries”, failed to control their body movements and expressions at the same time…

Audrey used her expertise as a spectator to observe every move of the three men opposite her.

"When they heard the word 'abandoned', their bodies began to tremble and they looked at each other... Then they sat up straight, ready to listen to Mr. Sun's answer..."

"Am I the only one who doesn't realize what Mr. Fool is hinting at?"

She felt a little annoyed, but at the same time she was certain that she was still an extraordinary novice...

"Yes, we all believe that we will eventually be favored by the Lord again, perhaps on the day when the sun rises again." Derrick Berg answered undeterminedly, "We were once ruled by the Giant King's Court and believed in the Giant King, Almir. Later, we were redeemed by the Lord, and we will never betray the Lord again."

"Olmir? Intis produces wine? It turns out it is named after the Giant King!" Audrey's eyes lit up. It turns out that mystery and reality have never been separated!
Justice, the Hanged Man, and the Priestess all fell silent in tacit agreement. It was Mr. Fool who was asking the question! No one dared to interrupt!

The Fool's slow voice came:

"Are you still offering sacrifices to the omniscient and omnipotent God?"

“Yes, we are still here, but we have not received any response since the day we were abandoned.” The tone of “Sun” Derrick contained pain that was difficult to conceal.

The Fool leaned back more leisurely, half-closed his eyes and said:
"Describe in detail the process of your sacrifice."

Audrey was still thinking about the meaning of "sacrifice". In the legends popular among the nobles, this word was often associated with evil gods and demons... Because the three orthodox gods of Loen, the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Steam and Machinery, all had their own orthodox churches. They would hold mass ceremonies regularly, and believers could participate voluntarily.

Even if they were offering sacrifices to the gods, it would not be the turn of the believers who were not even Beyonders... And chanting their honorable names and offering sacrifices privately would not only not get a response, but also fail to please the gods, and the greatest danger would be divine punishment... Therefore, the believers of the true gods basically had no chance to "sacrifice". Even for Beyonders, only Beyonders of Sequence 7 and above in the Night Watch team could be exposed to the sacrificial ceremony...

"Mr. Fool asked about the sacrificial ceremony, yes..." Audrey felt that today was too wonderful. The power of the Tarot Club and the power of the Fool were beyond imagination!

Audrey observed that the Hanged Man's mood suddenly changed. His expression and body movements showed that he was enjoying it very much... very excited...

"Hey, Mr. 'The Hanged Man' is not in a normal mental state." She glanced at the other side with pity.

“The communication between Mr. Fool and the Sun may contain some shocking secrets, which caused both the Hanged Man and the Priestess to lose their composure.”

"Maybe I can consider paying them in exchange for these things later... I don't know if they are willing..." Audrey thought with some anticipation and some worry.

"The Sun" Derrick replied:
"We built a magnificent altar, which was engraved with the Lord's symbols, and every time there was a good harvest of 'black-faced grass', we held a sacrificial ceremony."

"We will capture monsters from the depths of darkness as sacrifices. After reciting the Lord's name and the corresponding prayer phrases, and dancing to please Him, we will kill those monsters and let their spirits or blood stain the entire altar. If we fail to capture the monsters, we will use the 'sinners' at the bottom of the Silver City prison as their substitutes."

"Then we made food out of the first clump of black grass we harvested and presented it to the Lord."

"Finally, the ceremony ended with our singing in unison."

Audrey was a little excited. Although she would not try this bloody-looking sacrificial ritual, it did not prevent her from satisfying her curiosity!
She also saw that the priestess across from her was obviously more focused when she heard the word "dance"... Is he a dancer? Audrey guessed.

Mr. Fool paused for a moment, then continued:
"What is the corresponding prayer phrase to the gods? What language do you recite it in?"

The sun's voice came out, as if he was reminiscing and saying:
"We speak Giant, which is also our common language."

"The corresponding prayer mantra is:"

"Your faithful followers pray for your gaze;"

"Please accept their offerings;"

“Please open the gates of your kingdom.”

……

The gray mist slowly swirled around the Fool. He nodded thoughtfully but said nothing.

“I really want to know what Mr. Fool is thinking... No, Audrey, how can you have such blasphemous thoughts!” Miss Justice almost couldn’t help shaking her head, but fortunately she restrained her instinct in time.

The gray fog fell silent. It seemed that Mr. Fool had no intention of sharing his thoughts...

Audrey felt sorry for a moment, but she thought her own "Mind Reader" formula was more important, so she said:

"Mr. Sun, you said before that you could get the mind reader formula? I wonder what you want in return?"
