Chapter 616 A New Week of Tarot Reading, and the Diary Provided by the Queen

In the North District, inside the residence provided by Audrey.

He's hiding something from me.

Lu Ze, half-reclining on the soft sofa, suddenly spoke.

"Meow?"

Lu Na lay curled up next to him. Hearing his voice, she sat up and glanced at him. When she realized he wasn't talking to her, she lay back down, rested her chin on her front leg, and yawned.

"You mean your teammate, Leonard Mitchell, right?"

M's figure appeared on the sofa opposite him. She sat upright, her fingers touching, her golden eyes shining. "I guessed right. Judging from his subtle expression at the time, he was probably hiding something... something that might be very important, so important that he hesitated."

"When I first came to church, he was a high-sequence extraordinary being whose background I didn't know. It's understandable that he was wary of me and held back."

Luze said, his hand sliding down to stroke Luna's fur.

"I thought you would think he was a mole in that church."

M laughed.

Is Leonard the mole?

"Impossible."

Lu Ze retorted without hesitation, "This guy's situation is very special."

Back in Tingen, Leonard behaved somewhat differently. Not only him, but Luzer and Klein each had their own secrets. Luzer was obvious, Klein was able to rise from the dead, and the secrets he carried were enough to trigger a counterattack from the illusory tide. As for Leonard—he certainly had his own secrets he didn't want to reveal.

"I think he might have discovered something in Tingen."

Before interrupting, Luze, with his keen hearing, overheard their conversation and suspected that Leonard had figured out something after returning to Tingen, but what exactly it was...?

It's almost three o'clock.

M reminded him, and stood up from the sofa.

A crimson light rose and fell before her eyes, and when Audrey opened her eyes, she found herself once again in Mr. Fool's kingdom.

A pervasive gray fog shrouded the view, hazy, indistinct, and boundless.

The ancient castle where they were located stood above this gray mist, magnificent and ancient, seemingly eternal.

No matter how many times she had been here, seeing this magnificent scene still stirred a deep excitement within Miss Justice. Filled with joy, she stood up and greeted the figure at the head of the table, saying, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

After the gentleman nodded, she turned down to greet each member of the Tarot Club.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man; good afternoon, Mr. Sun..."

As she greeted them, she unconsciously used her "psychologist" instincts to observe the people in front of her.

Well, Mr. Hanged Man has regained his composure. At the last gathering, he seemed quite taken aback when he heard about Mr. Temperance's big achievement... Mr. Temperance, Mr. Sun, and Mr. World didn't seem to show any particular emotion.

Miss Magician was both expectant and nervous, perhaps because she had already grasped the location of "Mr. X" of the Aurora Society, but she was also a little afraid because she had to communicate with Mr. Temperance... Audrey's jewel-like green eyes lingered on everyone.

Strange, Mr. Moon seems a bit depressed. I remember he issued several wanted posters for "Primal Moon" followers before; is it related to that? Ms. Hermit seems quite happy, I wonder why...

However, Audrey, the Justice, soon understood why the Hermit was happy.

"Dear Mr. Fool."

After the usual greetings, [The Hermit] Cattleya said impatiently, "I've collected three pages of Roselle's diary."

collect?

Did the "Mysterious Queen" give it to you?

Alger sneered inwardly at the "Hanged Man," but outwardly showed no reaction. He simply watched as the "Admiral of the Stars" materialized the three pages of the diary and presented them to the head of the long table.

Everyone waited quietly for the Fool to finish reading the diary.

"I wonder what kind of secret knowledge the 'Mysterious Queen's' diary might contain..." Luze thought to himself as he waited. "If I and Bernadette wanted it, perhaps we could obtain it from her after paying a certain price."

However, this would reveal that I know Russell, and although the other party has already guessed that I am related to the Fool, it is still not good to expose myself further.

Just as he was lost in thought, the being behind the mist put down the paper and asked calmly, "What is your request?"

He was naturally asking the Hermit, Cattleya.

Cattleya, as if prepared, bowed and said, "I would like to know why Emperor Roselle went mad in his later years."

Her question immediately shocked the other members present.

Did Russell go mad in his later years?

The one who prompted the "Hermit" to raise the question was the "mysterious queen" behind her. Given her relationship with Emperor Roselle, she should be quite aware of his state at the time. So, does this mean that Roselle's later years were marked by betrayal and alienation because he went mad?

Thinking of this, [Moderation] Lu Ze frowned slightly.

This time traveler was an extraordinary being who had reached a high sequence; it was no simple matter to drive him mad.

Let's hear what Mr. Fool has to say first.

The others probably had the same thought, and they all held their breath, looking at the person at the head of the long table.

How would I know?

Klein thought to himself, feeling uneasy under everyone's gaze.

Russell's three pages of diary span three different eras. The first page records that he became a Sequence 2 angel in the "Craftsman's Path." With a true god at the top, that is the highest level of this path. The Steam Church seemed to be somewhat wary of him because of this, and even recruited his youngest son into the church. But this only fueled his rebellious spirit.

On the second page, Russell expresses his curiosity about the "Primordial Moon" and his determination to change course. He seems to intend to jump to the adjacent "Spyman" Sequence 1 and build an airship to land on the Red Moon... It's really asking for trouble.

On the third page, Roselle's emotions are completely out of control. He excitedly writes phrases like "How could this be?", "Impossible!", and "Everything will be destroyed," seemingly intending to continue his ascension and become a true god in order to resist the inevitable apocalypse.

So, how should we answer the question "The Hermit"?

Klein thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Due to some unknown stimuli or influences, Roselle turned his attention to Sequence 0 in his later years."

This can be considered a somewhat ambiguous response.
