Chapter 370 - [371] : The Black Cat's Divination Result

A major event?

Was the major event Mr. Fool mentioned a good thing or a bad thing?

No, if it were a good thing, he wouldn't need to remind us so seriously... So it could only be a bad thing, and a serious incident that could attract a deity's attention!

After thinking for a moment, Silas quickly had his answer.

The others present probably had similar thoughts, each adopting a solemn attitude.

"Actually, I've also had a premonition recently."

He suddenly heard the World, who'd always been quite reserved, speak up.

"It feels like some major disaster is about to occur in Backlund..."

These words seemed to confirm his own conclusion.

"Honorable Mr. Fool."

The World not only spoke to the other members but even ventured to bow his head in respect to that existence at the head of the table.

"Since many of your blessed are in Backlund, do you know the core of this crisis?"

World, you're being too bold. Aren't you afraid of displeasing Mr. Fool? But honestly, I'd like to know too...

Silas thought to himself.

He had no idea that this entire conversation was actually a performance by Klein playing both parts.

Klein manipulated the World puppet on one side while maintaining an air of profound mystery with his main body, calmly speaking a name:

"Edessak Augustus."

During his investigation into Talim's death, he'd gradually discovered some unusual circumstances.

For instance, he seemed to be encountering certain coincidences that hindered his investigation, and one of the prince's female companions seemed extremely off.

The ring on her hand matched the jewelry worn by the person who cursed Talim.

The former made Klein suspect he was once again being manipulated by 0-08, while the latter made his hair stand on end, giving him the same kind of fear he'd felt when encountering an evil god.

Either way, both gave him a strong sense of crisis.

But because he worried about 0-08 discovering him, he didn't dare report to the three major churches in reality, nor did he dare contact Silas, fearing he'd be "eliminated" before he could even report.

He could only give veiled warnings to everyone above the gray fog, isolated from prying eyes.

His Highness the Third Prince?

He's connected to the major event about to happen?

Audrey couldn't afford to wallow in grief now. Instead, she immediately felt great concern.

She instantly recalled Third Prince Edessak's recent abnormal behavior, like how he no longer pursued her and had become quite cold instead.

She'd originally thought this was a good thing, but now it seemed there might be more to the story.

A disaster that draws Mr. Fool's attention must be extremely serious, similar to an evil god's descent or a major incident like Duke Negan's assassination.

I must find a chance to investigate.

I can indirectly inquire about his recent situation through Father, but I must maintain restraint and not let Father think I want to become a princess...

At this thought, a sense of responsibility welled up in her heart.

Kons has already passed away. I can't let more people experience such tragedy!

Audrey's gaze gradually became firm, sweeping away her previous melancholy mood.

At the same time, Magician Fors and the Hanged Man Alger similarly realized the severity of the situation and each had their own responses.

Fors prepared to investigate the situation through her two noble friends, while Alger used his rhetorical skills to push the members in Backlund to actively investigate.

Only Sun, stuck in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, looked bewildered and couldn't contribute to the conversation.

Temperance Silas lowered his head in silence, not expressing an opinion.

Silas, be extra careful yourself...

Behind the long table, Klein watched his fellow transmigrator with complex emotions.

Klein could only warn him this way.

As the [Blood Reverend] being watched by multiple factions, Silas had probably already been noticed.

Rashly contacting him in reality would only expose their relationship, leaving both of them without a good outcome.

Of course, Klein could actually explain things more clearly through the gray fog.

But that would reveal the fact that he was also in the Tarot Club. Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to keep dropping his disguise.

"All right, let's end here for today."

With such worried thoughts, Klein concluded this Tarot Club gathering.

"Whoosh!"

The crimson light flashed before Silas's eyes.

The virtual persona shattered as it returned, injecting pure memories into his mind.

He endured the headache caused by the influx of information and slowly digested today's Tarot Club events.

The trading session, and the free exchange...

Hmm, Mr. Fool believes a terrible crisis is about to occur in Backlund!

I have that premonition too!

Recently, various major incidents have occurred continuously.

That mysterious organization behind them is brewing something in the shadows...

He shook his head, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Fortunately, the Queen had returned.

Once he contacted her, he'd feel more secure. The appointment time Miss Sharron gave was tomorrow evening. He increasingly felt it necessary to meet with that powerful figure.

But even so, he had to leave Backlund immediately after completing his digestion!

The "Shepherd" potion was almost completely digested. The Aurora Order here had long been cleaned out.

There wasn't much point in continuing to stay in Backlund. He could take this opportunity to leave, find a new place, and seek advancement opportunities.

Hmm, Mr. A, whom he'd shepherded, had "Travel," so he could leave at any time.

But his flock couldn't, and he'd also developed feelings for them during this period of acting.

After digesting the potion, just abandoning these helpless, pitiful people, he definitely couldn't do that.

He had to consider how to arrange for them...

Silas thought. He could leave, but the flock must be maintained. He could first stop expanding, then slowly disperse the members and find them a stable way out.

Besides this, he also had to find a way to warn Klein, telling him not to run around recklessly recently and to avoid getting caught up in incidents.

"Meow~"

As if sensing his heavy thoughts, Luna, nestled on his lap, raised her upper body and meowed at him.

"We're probably going to move."

Silas said to the black cat with a smile.

"Meow?"

Luna's tail swished back and forth as she tilted her head to look at him, not knowing if she understood his meaning.

"Hmm, I haven't decided where to go yet... Oh, right!"

Silas put down the cat, turned to take down a map of all Loen from the wall, and spread it out on the table.

"Come here, Luna."

He reached out to drag the cat onto the table.

"You can divine, right? Quick, help me divine where my future advancement opportunity lies!"

The black cat, like a pool of liquid, was stretched out by him and then placed on the table.

She looked at Silas with her deep blue eyes.

"Hurry up and divine!"

Silas said with a smile.

He was being somewhat serious about this. Of course, if Luna gave a very unreliable answer, he wouldn't accept it.

"Meow."

Luna seemed to understand his words. Her eyes quickly turned black, and her tail swished back and forth as she circled the map. With a "thump," she jumped onto the map, landing on a particular area.

Silas looked over and discovered that beneath her paws was a patch of blue.

The Sonia Sea.
