Chapter 389 The Purpose of the Fool
"I have planned this long ago..." Klein recalled what happened recently and said in a daze:
"The area of Tingen City is only equivalent to that of a district in Backlund, and the population density is not high, so there is no need for so many Beyonders. Many people suffer from not being able to obtain magic potions and cannot join the official Beyonder team, so Old Blue gathers these people to prepare for emergencies?
"When there is a shortage of manpower here, the people of Tingen will be qualified to enter Backlund... If they can become official Punishers of Backlund, it will be a much better way out than being a Punisher in remote Tingen, but of course it will also be much more dangerous.
"This is exactly what old Blue would do. He always creates opportunities for the younger generation and shows them the way..."
Fors nodded the young man's head and said:
"The 'planning' we're talking about doesn't seem to be a thing...
“You know, the day after Duke Negan was assassinated, Old Blue said in front of us that the assassin was sent by Deacon Roy.
“Xiu took it seriously at the time and was troubled for a while because he couldn’t report it.
"I'm different. I think that was a joke from old Bruce... He always said irrelevant things before, didn't he?
"But looking back now, I feel that... maybe it wasn't a joke, but a 'premeditated plan' that had already existed.
"After all... that's too much of a coincidence!"
“Coincidence?” Klein repeated in a low voice, hesitating a little.
"Regarding the assassin... I have some guesses. It's most likely not done by Old Blue or Deacon Roy.
"I don't remember if I've told you before, this involves a very... heh, 'scandal' of the Goddess Church? That incident happened in Tingen, and as a member of Tingen's Night Watchers, I experienced the entire incident. The 'coincidences' and 'arrangements' involved still terrify me.
"I won't reveal the specific name of the Sealed Artifact, because just knowing about Sealed Artifacts of that level means danger."
Afterwards, Klein hid some specific names and briefly described the former Archbishop Ince Zangwill's conspiracy in Tingen, focusing on the "coincidence" in it.
Fors was surprised and said:
“You’ve mentioned this before, but not in this much detail…
“It’s really scary that someone could secretly arrange so many things without the person involved knowing anything!
"But I didn't expect you to be so perceptive that you could actually figure out that someone was spying behind the scenes?! Are all of you Nighthawks like you? This makes us, the Mandated Punishers, seem useless in comparison!"
Klein smiled calmly and said:
“Thank you for your compliment, but you are wrong to say that the Mandated Punishers are useless. The crisis in Tingen was resolved quietly, and the biggest contributor was Old Blue and the Mandated Punishers under his leadership!
“That old man has an unusually keen sense of extraordinary events… He can even extinguish the source of a crisis when there is only a hint of it! He is indeed a super senior extraordinary person who has been busy all his life…” What a pity, what a pity that Old Blue failed to detect the changes in his son Little Blue in advance… Klein sighed in his heart and added.
Fors suddenly recalled a certain "blood moon" night, a night when he was tortured by crazy whispers and almost lost control... the illusory sea water, the gray fog, and the "door" opened in the fog... the edge of the door was bright red, as if it was painted with human blood!
What is behind the door?! I can’t remember… Fors rubbed her temples to relieve the sudden dizziness caused by her brain overload. She let her imagination run wild when she was writing novels and thought:
Looking back now, the fog was undoubtedly related to Mr. Fool!
I used to wonder how Old Blue discovered and eliminated the influence of the "Full Moon Whisper" on me. Now it seems that it should be the order of Mr. Fool! After all, He once said that the members of the Tarot Club are all chosen by Him, so it is normal for Him to observe in advance!
Fortunately, fortunately I am lucky enough, fortunately the kind "fool" chose me...
No, that's not right. Fors covered his head with his hands and frowned:
I was not chosen because of luck! It was because I had the "Full Moon Whispering" in me... that I was noticed by the "Fool"! This kind of cause and effect is logical! Is the "Fool" interested in the "Full Moon Whispering"?
I started hearing crazy voices after I used the bracelet. According to Mrs. Anlisa, there has been a curse in her husband's family...
Combining my own knowledge to analyze, the members of the ancient "Abraham Family" have always been cursed by the "Full Moon Whispering"? !
Damn, how did they survive?!
Fors had a look of disbelief on his face. He became an "apprentice" three years ago, and used the bracelet for the first time to avoid danger two years ago. The "whispering" had also officially appeared. In just such a short period of time, he was already being tortured to death!
And the old gentleman who visited Mrs. Anlisa a few days ago... Could it be that his family has a way to reduce the impact of the full moon delirium?
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your head? Let me take you home. It seems you need more rest..."
Fors felt a warm hand on her forehead and heard caring words. She immediately came to her senses and said with a blush on her cheeks:
"Don't do anything! I'm fine! I just thought of some random things...
"By the way, your 'Master Key'... should correspond to the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Apprentice', right? Have you divined its origin? I mean, the previous owner of the Giant Bishop. Well, with your divination skills, you should be able to see the dead 'Apprentice' directly, right? What is his identity? Where does he live?"
Klein was stunned for a moment. He took out an antique brass key from his pocket and said:
"I have never divined it, because with you as my genuine 'apprentice', the key has been gathering dust in my 'bag'.
"What's wrong? Have you thought of anything? Is there anything special about it?"
Fors did not take the key. She nodded and said:
"I've read a lot of internal information from the church recently, and I found that Beyonders on the 'Apprentice' path are even rarer than I thought! Plus, my characteristics were also obtained from a member of the 'Abraham Family', so I guess the 'Master Key' might also correspond to an 'Abraham'! I must find him!"
Klein said in surprise:
"But aren't you not interested in the Abraham family? Didn't you meet the brother of Mrs. Anlisa's husband a few days ago? You said you didn't want to bring them trouble..."
Fors sighed and said:
"I have always wondered why someone like me, who is not special, was chosen to join such a high-level 'Tarot Club'...
"Now I understand that Mr. Fool should be interested in the Abraham Family that I am involved with...
"I must show my 'value', otherwise I will be kicked out sooner or later!"
