Sharon stiffened at first, then leaned on Reinette Tinichole's shoulder, as if reliving the past.
After some distance from Renette Tinichole's castle, Hastur began to summon Gray Carrie.
A huge flying phoenix roared through the spirit world, causing all nearby spirit creatures to tremble.
Right now, in the days when the Lord of Mysteries has not yet awakened, he is the master of the spiritual world.
When He was about to approach Hastur, he turned into a smaller version of the firebird and landed gently on Hastur's shoulder.
"Looking at you, you must have been doing well recently, right?"
"Chirp." Gray Carrie responded happily.
I don’t know if it’s because the end is approaching, but His recovery speed has been much faster recently than before.
"I want to go somewhere and need your company."
"Chirp!"
Gray Carrie patted her chest with her right wing, indicating that she could walk sideways in the spirit world.
"Really?"
With a smile on his lips, Hasta looked up in the direction of the seven pure lights in the spiritual world.
He had thought about chatting with the Fool before, and now that he was passing by the spirit world, it was a good time.
With Gray Carrie around, neither the Seven Pure Lights nor Fulgen's Dog could stop themselves from approaching the gray mist and arriving at the gate of Origin Castle.
In order not to cause Sefirah Castle to take self-defense measures, Hastur just planned to knock on the door of Mr. Fool’s kingdom.
It should be interesting to see how Mr. Fool will react to this.
Hasta thought of the interesting picture and felt much happier.
Gray Carrie looked into the space above the Seven Pure Lights and fell into brief contemplation.
He also tried to get close to that place at the beginning, but in the end he couldn't even enter the gate.
It is the fortress where a Pillar dwells, and only those who are invited by Him have the opportunity to enter.
Otherwise, no matter how many true gods come here, they will not be able to enter through the fortress gate.
He had also talked with the Seven Pure Lights of the Spirit World and understood that the pillar was called the Lord of Mysteries, also known as the King of Time and Space, the Beacon of Destiny, the Incarnation of the Source Castle, and the Ruler of the Spirit World.
It seems to be falling into a deep sleep at the moment, but these days, especially the past few days, the gray fog shrouding there seems to be starting to stir up trouble.
Could it be that the Lord of Mysteries has awakened?
"It seems you already know where I want to go."
"Chirp."
Gray Carrie responded, her body suddenly enlarged, turning into a phoenix with huge wings, and motioned for Hastur to sit on her back.
"Later, remember to be polite." Hastur warned, floating onto the Phoenix's broad and soft back and sitting down.
"Chirp."
Gray Carrie let out a long cry, flapped her heavenly wings, and carried Hastur straight to the direction of the seven pure lights of the spiritual world.
The seven pure lights that originally stood upright in the spiritual world are now in an unstable state, as if they are fearful and guarding against something.
Chapter 394 The First Meeting of the Stars and the Fool
On the sea.
Klein, who had a fierce look on his face and a full beard, was throwing a blade on the deck of the ship that he had just killed a pirate with a reward of 1200 gold pounds.
He wiped his blood-spattered fingers with the hem of the clothes of a pirate standing beside him who was afraid to move. After doing this, he looked at the frightened pirates around him.
"You have to live a good life and try to increase your worth so that I can exchange your heads for some drink money in the future." A smile appeared on Klein's face, and combined with his deep and hoarse voice, it made the listeners feel even more creepy. .
"Now, get out of here before I change my mind."
The surrounding pirates heard this and left the pirate ship in panic. Some pirates even jumped into the sea with empty oak barrels.
The Black Skull Pirate Group, which was slightly famous among pirates, fell apart in this way.
After all the pirates on the ship left, Klein whispered: "The bounty of 1200 gold pounds is not bad."
"But there is also an intelligence fee of 100 gold pounds to be paid to Mr. Hanged Man, and 7600 gold coins are still owed to Miss Messenger."
"According to the unequal exchange rate between gold coins and gold pounds, I still need to earn a bounty of nearly 8000 gold pounds, which will require about seven or eight bounty tasks."
"Sigh, it's a pity that those well-known pirates have found places to hide under the suppression of the Church of Storms. If I didn't have Mr. Hanged Man's inside information, it would be difficult for me to accurately hunt them."
He thought that if he could hunt down a big pirate with 5000 gold pounds, it would be easy to pay off the debt.
Fortunately, the messenger lady never took the initiative to ask for repayment.
"Go back first and hunt another pirate hiding nearby tomorrow."
When Klein was about to leave the pirate ship, Spirit madly signaled him to go above the gray mist in his mind.
There was no other way, so Klein could only find a nearby dirty bathroom, endure the unpleasant smell, and walk four steps backwards, entering above the gray mist.
When he arrived, the gray fog outside Source Castle was making a mad noise. This movement was even more intense than the last time the mysterious man visited.
He sat at the head of the long bronze table and looked down. Through the cracks in the billowing gray fog, I could vaguely see seven light beams of different colors rising into the sky and reaching the space beneath the gray fog.
Several hound-like creatures ran out of the cracks in time, their tails raised, and they were on full alert for something.
Klein had seen this kind of creature in the books given to him by Mr. Azik.
This is Fulgrim's Hound!
He is a loyal guardian of the spiritual world!
Something is wrong!
Klein noticed something different from last time.
Last time, I was discovered by the mysterious figure when I was observing Silver City, and then I came to the outskirts of the gray fog through the traces I left.
At that time, He and I were not only separated by gray mist, but also separated by a distance as far as the land abandoned by God.
But this time, it seems to be coming straight towards the main body of Source Castle!
Even he himself doesn't know where the Source Castle is exactly now, so how did the other party come to find it?
The Fulgrim dogs guarding Sefirah Castle must have chosen to attack because they were afraid that the enemy would harm Sefirah Castle.
Choose an incarnation.
Klein couldn't help but feel panic in his heart. This was the first time that an inexplicable being found his real residential address along the network cable.
Who is it?
Is he the mysterious person from last time?
Klein looked at the scene outside the gray fog seriously and worriedly.
After a while, a bird call loud enough to break through the sky resounded throughout the gray fog.
Then a fiery red light spread upward from below, and even the gray fog was dyed into a large red cloud.
The vigilance of Fulgrim's Dogs also reached its peak at this time. Amid their vigilance and Klein's gaze, a huge phoenix appeared in front of the gray mist, flapping its wings that covered the sky.
And on the huge phoenix, there seemed to be a palace gathering hazy starlight.
Inside the palace, there sat a mysterious being who also sat at the head of the long table.
Klein looked at the other person through the gray mist, and his scalp suddenly felt numb. He tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart, maintained his calm on the surface, and looked at the mysterious being through the air.
The gray fog outside Source Castle began to spread, trying to swallow up the illusory palace that radiated starlight.
But wisps of starlight fell down and turned into a barrier, completely blocking the spread and erosion of the gray fog.
"The Fool."
In the Starlight Palace, the mysterious existence faintly said the title Fool.
Klein's expression suddenly shook, and he immediately understood the true identity of the place.
Stars!
To be able to sit in a palace made of the light of stars, who else could it be besides the stars?
Moreover, the last time he and the other party worked together in Backlund to prevent George III from ascending to the throne of God.
Is it because of that cooperation that the stars locked their true positions?
Then why did He come today?
Klein didn't think too much. He leaned back slightly on his chair, pretending to be calm and composed, and then chuckled and said, "Stars."
Now that the other party has arrived outside the gate, and the gray mist cannot stop the other party, he can only pretend to be the real Fool, the real Lord of Mysteries through bluffing.
Only in this way can we protect ourselves and scare off the other party.
"You just woke up not long ago, and you still seem to be very weak?"
Faced with the undisguised temptation of the stars, Klein just tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile on his lips: "It doesn't take long for the stars to wake up, doesn't it?"
It is not difficult to make this guess. The Stars Organization and his own Tarot Society appeared at almost the same time, and their followers were active in Backlund at the same time.
It is enough to show that this star has just awakened and is constantly expanding his beliefs through his followers and actively affecting the real world.
This formal style is very much like the process of a sleeping powerful being waking up and beginning to re-understand the world and intervene in it.
Eh...how does this look like I am pretending to be Mr. Fool?
In the eyes of Tarot Club members, Mr. Fool is such a mysterious existence.
The only difference between myself and the stars is that I, the fool, am pretending, bluffing and showing nothing.
And the other party, the stars, are really existences that have awakened from ancient times.
Is this a fake Li Kui encountering a real whirlwind?
Klein felt a little unsure, but he still tried to maintain his composure on the surface and wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
Did he come with malicious intent, or did he want to negotiate and cooperate with him?
"Do you still remember the agreement we made?"
