Chapter 54 One Cannot Look Directly at God

In the boundless gray mist, in the giant palace, Audrey found that the deep red light that had obscured her vision had finally faded. This initially relieved Audrey, but then she became tense again, because she realized that she seemed to have come to a strange place, and around her, on both sides of a bronze table, were other people besides her.

Audrey was surprised to find that she could not see anyone's face clearly. A strange gray mist enveloped everyone's face, yet strangely, it allowed people to distinguish the color of their facial features and corresponding expressions.

So Audrey could tell that among everyone present, some seemed as surprised as he was, while others seemed to know what was going on and were sitting calmly in their seats.

What drew Audrey's attention even more was the figure sitting at the head of the bronze table, the absolute master, and with just one glance, Audrey sensed an unfathomable depth.

What kind of being is this?

Audrey felt a sense of fear, an instinct that arises when a creature faces a more powerful being. Just then, she noticed the woman beside her look up at the figure at the head of the bronze table, and then the woman, as if she had discovered something, abruptly lowered her head.

Audrey faintly heard a short, but suppressed scream.

What happened?

Audrey was somewhat confused.

Opposite her, the young man sitting calmly in the first seat on the left spoke up at this moment: "Don't look around, madam. Mr. Fool is kind and won't mind your prying, but you should know that not looking directly at God is a protection for mortals."

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to spy on you. It's just that my eyes have a strange property, an instinct I can't control. I usually seal it with magical items, but..."

Cattleya immediately began to explain. Just now, she had instinctively tried to observe the bronze-headed being. Although she couldn't see anything specific because of the gray mist, that one glance still severely injured her, making her feel like she was going to go blind for a moment.

The other party is definitely a great being, even if not a god, at least someone like the Hidden Sage.

"How reckless! This girl..." Zhou Mingrui, the Fool at the head of the bronze table, was also somewhat astonished. He hadn't expected anyone to be so brazen as to use their special abilities to spy on him.

Although Zhou Mingrui himself didn't care about such things, he was now a proper mysterious servant. To be honest, Zhou Mingrui didn't need to do anything special at the moment. Just revealing his mythical creature form was enough to give ordinary extraordinary people a hard time.

In other words, the gray fog itself has a shielding effect; otherwise, Cattleya's glance just now would have resulted in more than just a minor eye pain.

Hopefully, this girl will learn her lesson and not be so stubborn again.

Zhou Mingrui, the Fool, shook his head inwardly, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's alright, you can materialize a pair of glasses."

The first sentence expresses forgiveness for what just happened, while the second sentence serves as a reminder to Cattleya.

"We will remember your kindness."

Gadriya immediately spoke respectfully. Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to ask the other party how to materialize glasses. In fact, Gadriya, who could be considered the most knowledgeable person present, successfully materialized a pair of glasses and put them on after thinking for a few seconds.

This relieved Gadria, but also made her feel that the other party was even more unfathomable.

This little incident was obviously noticed by everyone else present. If anyone had any doubts about the person at the very top of the bronze table just now, everyone was now certain that the other party must be a powerful and mysterious being.

"Mr. Fool, is there anything we can do for you?" Alger Wilson asked after a few seconds of deliberation. As he spoke, although he was facing Mr. Fool, he lowered his eyes to avoid looking directly at him, focusing instead on the patterns on the bronze table.

As for how Alger Wilson knew the other person's name, it was naturally thanks to the recent events.

"Don't be nervous." Zhou Mingrui, the Fool, could naturally see that all the newcomers were a little nervous because of the incident just now, which made him smile helplessly and say, "I have no ill intentions towards you. This is just an experiment."

An attempt? What attempt?

Alger couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Sitting next to him, Rosen, who was in the first seat on the left, spoke up with a smile:

"Mr. Fool holds the power of destiny, and you are the destined ones connected to him in destiny. Therefore, at my suggestion, Mr. Fool has decided to gather you to form an organization to add some excitement to this boring fate."

"You can refuse; I'm not forcing you," said Zhou Mingrui, the Fool.

After these words, everyone present fell silent for a few seconds before Alger spoke first:

"It is my honor! Praise be to you, Mr. Fool, I am very willing to join your organization and serve you."

"No service is needed." The Fool shook his head and smiled, saying, "I am a fair person who follows the principle of equivalent exchange. You can treat this as a gathering for you to exchange information and resources. I will not force you to do anything."

Upon hearing this, whether people believed it or not, everyone breathed a sigh of relief to some extent.

This time, Cattleya spoke before Alger could, saying, "Your will is our will. Praise be to you, Mr. Fool."

With her taking the lead, others followed suit.

How embarrassing, how strange... Fool Zhou Mingrui felt somewhat awkward in the face of this scene. After all, he wasn't a social bull like Rosen, and he had never experienced such a situation before.

It was even more awkward, especially since there was a friend watching the commotion nearby.

But the Fool is indeed a Fool. Even though he was so embarrassed he wished he could carve out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house from the Source Castle, he remained calm. After everyone had pledged their loyalty, he smiled and said:

"Tarot cards are designated as cards. These are the Major Arcana cards after removing the existing designations. You can draw one card from them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stack of tarot cards appeared in front of all the newlyweds. This was the result after removing "The Fool," "The World," and "The Moon."

Among them, the Fool belongs to Zhou Mingrui, the Moon belongs to Rosen, and the World belongs to Cotton Doll Klein.

It's really amazing... Audrey looked at the floating tarot cards in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then chose one of them.

When it was turned over, it was a "Justice" card.

"Justice, I love this codename!" Audrey's eyes lit up; the tarot card perfectly matched her expectations for her own codename.
