At three in the afternoon, when Spirituality soared and entered the gray fog space, Tao Yu who came back to the antiquated hall, noticed that there were a few more people this time.
The sparse number of people made him pause for a moment.
Fewer than expected.
Including Mr. Fool and himself, there were only five people in total.
However, quality is prized over quantity.
As long as there’s a strong support, it would suffice.
Tao Yu silently observed the others.
They must have also noticed the newcomer in their midst.
"Good afternoon~, everyone, have we welcomed a new member again?"
Miss Justice spoke with a light voice, also gazing at Tao Yu and seeming very happy.
Audrey possessed a sense of ownership regarding the growth of the Tarot Club.
"This is the new member, ’Destiny’."@@@@
Mr. Fool introduced him casually, and Miss Justice, acting like a secretary, added the following.
"Hello, Mr. Destiny, I am ’Justice’, and this is The Hanged Man, and this is Mr. Sun."
The cheerful voice of Miss Justice also made Tao Yu feel somewhat at ease.
Being a newbie, he simply nodded and said,
"Hello, everyone."
Meanwhile, Audrey was using her ’Audience’ ability to observe Tao Yu, pondering in her mind,
"A very calm member who isn’t the least bit flustered, adapting well to this extraordinary environment, giving off a reliable vibe."
The Hanged Man, Alger, was also scrutinizing Tao Yu with an evaluative gaze.
He hadn’t been very keen on the Tarot Club’s members increasing so quickly in the past.
However, due to the matter of commissioning Zilinges, he realized that having more members could mean more power and sometimes be quite convenient, at least offering an additional channel.
He just didn’t know what level of power in the Extraordinary World the newcomer was at, and whether his abilities would overlap with his own.
As for Mr. Sun, he was just a newbie who had joined last time, still somewhat clueless but aware of many secrets, coming from a completely different place than the current world.
After introducing everyone, Miss Justice, Audrey, addressed Mr. Fool at the head of the table,
"Dear Mr. Fool, has your familier received that compensation of 300 Gold Pounds?"
Initially intent on observing more than speaking, Tao Yu was somewhat taken aback to hear such news.
Even a matter involving 300 Gold Pounds had troubled Mr. Fool?
What was this about?
For Tao Yu, who typically dealt with millions of Gold Pounds, the sum felt surreal; Mr. Fool had a follower? Indeed, he was an important person, but 300 Gold Pounds...
Fortunately, Mr. Fool’s response soon dispelled Tao Yu’s initial thoughts.
"I have not paid attention to such trivial matters, but since there’s been no further request for help, it must have been received."
It must be that some follower had prayed or made a wish; that seemed normal enough.
A wish for 300 Gold Pounds could be fulfilled, so Mr. Fool is quite down-to-earth, or perhaps Mr. Fool’s circle isn’t that strong right now. Your journey continues on novelhall.Co?m
Yet, information-wise, they should be able to offer some help, right?
Surely more than what wild, low-Sequence extraordinaries like Fors and Hugh could provide.
"I know some information; it might not be too in-depth but can offer some reference,"
The Hanged Man Alger promptly spoke up.
"The more common pathways for the Knowing Ones’ Union are ’apprentice’ and ’assassin,’ born in this epoch. Based on their pathways, it can be deduced that they might be related to the Abraham family of the Fourth Epoch Tudor dynasty, or perhaps to the Witch Sect."
Tao Yu’s knowledge was clearer, and upon hearing the mention of Abraham, he was startled—wasn’t that Mr. Door’s surname!
Indeed!
And he was definitely from the apprentice sequence!
Judging from his abilities, his spirituality must be quite exalted, only it had been contaminated.
"The Witch Sect worships the ’Primeval Witch,’ and because they seek to gain the blessings of the ’Primeval Witch,’ the higher-ups are all female. It is said that in the Fourth Epoch, they were called the Witch families. They would kill the fathers of their children and abandon male infants."
At this, Tao Yu was also stunned—all high-ranking members were female?
It then occurred to him about his beautiful online connection; could it be that it is very difficult for males to follow this path? Thus, her attitude towards him earlier.
She was actually concerned about him.
However, it shouldn’t be as extreme as the other party had described; otherwise, they wouldn’t have initiated him.
This brought relief to Tao Yu, who had Mental Immunity and didn’t mind it.
"Moreover, it is the mission of the Witch Sect to spread disasters, making them disliked by the major churches."
Tao Yu nodded in agreement as he listened. In fact, spreading disasters was quite consistent with his Innate Demonic Body, as well as his Dao Heart Demon Seed technique. He would undoubtedly see significant improvements once he had integrated them thoroughly.
As to whether that ’Primeval Witch’ was of Sequence One or Sequence Two in this pathway, it was likely they wouldn’t be much less powerful than a True God.
While Tao Yu was pondering, Mr. Fool chuckled,
"Perhaps, it’s not that they abandon male infants, but that the male members become witches."
It seemed like a joke, but nobody took it as just a joke.
All of a sudden, Tao Yu felt his scalp explode.
Transformation?
What’s all this about!?
Could there be such a hidden catch?
And then to be initiated with the Magic Potion named assassin?
This was total nonsense!
"Don’t panic, I have Divinity; it shouldn’t be an issue. If push comes to shove, I’ll just forcefully rid myself of it, no big deal, it should be fine..."
Tao Yu was very confident in the spirituality of his Divinity and kept reassuring himself.
But he then gave a moment’s thought to his intimate relationship with Eve.
This damn...
"Well, she is beautiful, and the taste is not bad either..."
It was not as though they were getting married, so no need to be hung up about the other’s past, right?
Tao Yu could only console himself, as most of them would surely remain originals. It had to be the case...
