After a moment of silence, Klein touched the light spot and began this week's Tarot session.
When Miss Justice Audrey appeared, she naturally said hello to everyone, and then looked at Mr. Hanged Man, who had been absent from a Tarot session.
Derrick and Forsi also looked at Alger, wanting to hear from him the reason for his absence last week.
Alger, who had expected such a scene, did not speak immediately. Now it was time for Mr. Fool to read Russell's diary.
"Mr. Fool, I only collected one Roselle diary here."
"Dear Mr. Fool, these are Russell's diaries that I collected during this period. There are four in total." Audrey followed Alger and spoke.
"very good."
Klein expressed his approval of Miss Justice who was generous and easy to collect Russell's diaries.
But when he started to look through the five pages of Russell's diary, he felt a hundred horses galloping past in his heart.
The contents of Miss Justice's four Russell's diaries are not as important as the contents of one of Mr. Russell's diaries from Mr. Hanged Man!
The whole story is about Russell's romantic adventures, and the so-called danger comes from the husbands of noble ladies.
After reading them all, Klein fell into deep thought.
He really didn't understand why Russell liked to record such things in his diary so much?
Didn't he feel embarrassed or ashamed at all when he wrote these contents?
Or is he proud of these experiences, so he wrote this part more to commemorate his youth?
That’s not right, Russell’s diary is also divided into periods such as the early, middle and late periods.
Judging from the content and tone of voice recorded here, it should have been written when Russell had some power in the middle period.
In the end, Klein came to the conclusion: Russell was just greedy for other people's bodies.
Bah, vile!
Klein cursed a few times in his mind, and his depressed mood improved a lot.
"You can talk freely."
After receiving the approval, Alger scanned the crowd and spoke slowly: "Last week, I met a terrifying and dangerous person, which made me unable to participate in last week's Tarot meeting as I wished. I have also told The Fool about this. Sir mentioned it."
He knew that everyone would definitely doubt the identity of that person, so he took the initiative and said: "I don't know where he comes from, and I don't know what terrible identity he has. I only know that he has a young face, white and thin. , has a slender figure, not too outstanding facial features, and his smile is very contagious, giving him a very innocent and harmless feeling."
"He is incredibly mysterious and incredibly powerful."
"A strong man from the Church of Storms fell in his hands without any resistance. He also subdued the Undead King, one of the Four Kings.
And incorporated the fleet of the Undead King, becoming the most terrifying pirate king on the sea at this stage, the uncrowned king. "
Alger told the truth about some of the things he knew, and he also hoped to get information about that person from everyone present, especially Mr. Fool.
That man was so terrifying that he had decided to leave the sea temporarily and return to Backlund to take a rest.
Audrey thought for a while, frowned slightly and said, "It's really scary. Even the Immortal King has been subdued. In the future, won't there be only one true Pirate King on the sea?"
She still doesn't know which level of Beyonder the Immortal King is, but it should be above Sequence 4 Demigod.
The person who can conquer the Immortal King must be even more terrifying. In the past, there were four kings standing in front of each other, but now this uncrowned king is the only king.
This will definitely bring new impacts to the situation at sea, and Loen is a country located on the coast, and even a large part of its economy relies on this blood transfusion belt at sea.
Once an accident occurs, it must be terrible.
A few days ago, she heard Earl Hall mention the issue of the coastal defense line in South Wales. Now it seemed that the person who proposed the corresponding countermeasures was really prescient.
Compared to Audrey's worries, Forsi remained silent. She didn't have much yearning for the sea, and she didn't have a good impression of pirates.
As for who becomes the pirate king, she doesn't care at all.
Derrick didn't quite understand. He only knew that Mr. Hanged Man had encountered a very terrifying enemy and almost couldn't come back.
He could not help Mr. Hanged Man, so he could only silently pray for Mr. Hanged Man in his heart.
Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top, saw that everyone was silent and Mr. Hanged Man kept glancing uneasily at the area near him. He knew what he should say.
"More and more incredible characters will appear in the future. When the end is about to strike, the entities hidden in the darkness will stretch out their claws."
He said something that didn't sound like nonsense.
No way, he really doesn't know the mysterious figure who subdued the undead king, and he doesn't know the origin at all, so how can he explain the confusion for the Hanged Man and others?
"There will be many people like him in the future?"
Alger was shocked and looked at Mr. Fool. He could only see a smile on his face and had no intention of continuing to answer his questions.
Alas, I really can't stay on the sea anymore, so I'd better seize the opportunity and run away.
Alger no longer took any chances. What if that person thought the Immortal King was not fun and came to look for him again?
If you are still on the sea, you will be dead.
After thinking for a while, he added: "The situation in the Southern Continent is also very complicated recently. A large number of wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from the Southern Continent have fled to South Wales County in Loen."
"There are also many warships from the Kingdom of Loen on the sea, and there are even iron-clad ships that have just been put into use in the navy."
"The Southern Continent is also making urgent preparations for war. Warships have been dispatched to patrol the nearby waters to prevent sneak attacks from outside the Southern Continent."
"There is also less certain news. Most of the forces on the Southern Continent seem to have formed an alliance and are preparing to ambush the Seven Gods Church members who are still on the Southern Continent."
Alger then went on to tell a lot of information he heard from other pirates.
During this time, due to the sudden changes in the situation on the sea, many pirates were in danger, which prompted them to unite and obtain information easier than before.
Forsi and Derrick didn't feel anything about these situations. Only Audrey felt heavy in her heart and felt unspeakable discomfort.
Chapter 220 Audrey’s hesitation
She has always disliked war, living in peace and contentment, and everyone can live a peaceful and good life.
But now, even if she doesn't know much about politics and the situation between countries, she knows that the clouds of war have begun to gather, and the next war is not far away.
The Kingdom of Loen, located on the coast, will surely bear the brunt and become a war-torn place.
It would be fine if the threat only came from the Southern Continent, but the Kingdom of Loen still has its feud with the Feysac Empire.
Once the situation in Loen changes, the Fusac Empire may follow with a large-scale invasion. In this way, Loen, who is surrounded by enemies from both sides, will have a high risk of defeat.
Alas, I'll see if I can remind Earl Hall to pay attention to the coastal defense issues in South Wales after I get back.
Once the Southern Continent really dares to ambush all the members of the Church of the Seven Gods, then a war with far-reaching consequences will occur throughout the Northern and Southern Continents.
Alger glanced at the thoughtful Miss Justice and asked, "I want to know if the senior officials of the Loen Kingdom also have plans to start a war."
"I can't guarantee that I will find out clearly. I can only say that I will try my best."
Audrey took on this goal that highly overlapped with hers.
Next, each of them shared some things, and Mr. Fool also took the opportunity to talk about some knowledge about Russell's diary that had just been handed over from the Hanged Man.
……
Backlund, the home of Earl Hall.
As soon as Audrey finished the Tarot session, she opened the door, called Susie, and asked Earl Hall what he was busy with today and what his mood was now.
Susie answered one by one what she had inquired about, although with her current wisdom, she still could not fully understand what those words meant.
Every time it wanted to ask Audrey, Audrey would always change the subject, saying that it shouldn't read too many books or think too many things now.
"Susie, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"Woof!" Susie shook her tail excitedly.
After leaving the room, Audrey first calmed down, organized what she would say later, then went to the kitchen to serve Earl Hall's favorite dessert, and then knocked on the door of Earl Hall's study.
Earl Hall rubbed his brows to relieve the irritability in his heart. He felt much better after learning that it was his precious daughter who was coming to see him.
The door opened, and Audrey came to Earl Hall's desk with dessert.
"Dear Count Hall, if you continue to worry, Countess Hall will be angry."
"Hahaha, with you here, there are no worries anymore."
Earl Hall smiled and tasted the dessert brought by Audrey, and said with emotion: "It would be better if everything could go so smoothly."
Audrey's heart moved slightly, she walked behind Earl Hall, massaged his shoulders, and peeked at his face while saying: "Did something big happen recently? Even our resourceful Earl Hall is so troubled and troubled. "
"It's okay not to mention some things about the Southern Continent and South Wales."
Earl Hall did not want to mention these troublesome things at this time, but instead asked: "How is your recent relationship with Baron Campbell?"
"Of course I am very friendly. Mr. Hasta is a very good friend of mine. Sometimes he seems to give me advice.
A teacher who leads the way. "
"Just friends and teachers?"
Audrey stopped massaging Earl Hall's shoulders, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Is there any other special relationship?"
"It's okay if you don't. Maybe this is the best choice."
Earl Hall seemed to be telling Audrey, but also seemed to be murmuring to himself.
Audrey pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Dear Earl Hall, do you even have to solve puzzles to get along with your own daughter?"
Earl Hall said with a smile: "I just thought of something. Maybe I should promote more young people and let them go out and have more adventures."
"Earl Hall~"
Audrey lengthened the title to express her dissatisfaction at the moment.
I promised not to solve puzzles, but why did I say something so incomprehensible?
"Okay, okay, I'll make things clear right now."
Earl Hall laughed, and after gesturing for Audrey to continue massaging her shoulders, he said after a while: "The war is about to begin, and Southwell County, which will bear the brunt, needs suitable candidates to help the Grand Duke of Southwell guard it."
"Baron Hastur Campbell, who has a good personal relationship with you, is a good choice."
"Because he wrote a letter to the king long before the signs of war came, and I have also read that letter."
"He has a forward-looking vision, not only predicting the upcoming counterattack in the southern continent, but also predicting that South Wales will be the first place to face the test."
"For this reason, he wrote a lot of countermeasures on how to consolidate coastal defense. Firstly, it can prepare for the upcoming war. Secondly, it can also strangle the pirates who try to take advantage of the situation."
