1320 Mind Mail (2/2)
Audrey didn't hide her surprise.
”Alfred's coming back?”
This was her other brother.
”You actually guessed it?” Earl Hall said in surprise, ”In the next half of the year, he will return to Backlund as a general.”
Half a year… Susie is already a Dreamwalker… Audrey thought for a moment and asked, ”Father, when are we returning to East Chester County?”
As the war had just ended and there were many things in the kingdom that needed to be done, the nobles didn't return to their respective fiefs during New Year's. They remained in Backlund all this time. It was already the end of February.
Earl Hall nodded and said, ”About April.”

In the ancient palace above the fog.
Mind Mail… Be careful of viruses, don't click on them without thought… As Klein sighed, he threw the curtain that represented the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic back into the junk pile, allowing it to cover all the items there.
He had just fulfilled Miss Justice's wish using the ”Grafting” ability he named. He connected the illusory concept of the persona mask to an ordinary metal mask, and he gave the Worms of Spirit, who were on duty at Sefirah Castle, an order to recharge the powers from time to time to prolong the ”Grafting” effect.
From the description of Mr. Gluttony from the Psychology Alchemists, Zaratul seems to have found Constant City. I have to be even more careful… Klein tapped the edge of the long mottled table with his finger, causing Worms of Spirit to appear from his body.
His figure vanished from Sefirah Castle.

Winter County, Amantha mountain range, Cathedral of Serenity.
Leonard obtained a document from the Pope.
This was the first thing he was responsible for after becoming a high-ranking deacon.
After returning to his room, Leonard leisurely leaned back and placed his feet on the desk. Then, he opened the document in his hand and began reading.
A wandering magician, Merlin Hermes, grants the wishes of others for pleasure… The newly rebuilt Constant City… Fully Automatic Wishing Machine… Sequence 4 of the Seer pathway is Bizarro Sorcerer, Sequence 3 is Scholar of Yore, and Sequence 2 is Miracle Invoker…
Leonard read until he suddenly fell silent.
After a few seconds, he suppressed his voice and asked, ”Old Man, how many angels of the Seer pathway are active across the land?”
Pallez Zoroast scoffed.
”This is acting. There should only be one Miracle Invoker who still needs to act.
”You should know who I'm talking about.”
Leonard looked at the information in his hand again and mumbled, ”He's having quite a good time…”
He had already decided that the main purpose of this mission was to act as a Nightwatcher and digest his potion. He could also travel in passing. As for handling the matter, what mattered was to find a reasonable explanation.
After flipping through the thick documents in boredom, Leonard retracted his feet and stood up.
He was going to retrieve a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact that a high-ranking deacon like him could own.
To other saints of the Church of Evernight, this was quite a headache. This was because the negative effects of Sealed Artifacts weren't easily endured. It was even more so when one needed to carry them for a long period of time. However, if one chose a Holy Artifact that was more compatible with him, there would be a problem of powers overlapping.
As for Leonard, he didn't need to worry about this problem. As long as the Sealed Artifact he was interested in had a living characteristic, he could get Old Man's help. By parasitizing it with a Worm of Time, it significantly reduced the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact, making it as obedient as the Word of the Sea.
Therefore, the main thing to choose is its powers… Leonard whistled and walked out of the room.
…
Monday afternoon, in the ancient palace above the gray fog.
Dark red beams shot out, materializing into different figures.
Derrick hadn't needed to count his heartbeat for a long time. All he needed to do was take a look at the wall clock and calculate the time difference with Backlund to know how much longer before the Tarot Gathering happened. At that moment, he stood up with Miss Justice and the other members of the Tarot Club. He bowed to the end of the long bronze table and said, ”Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.”
After taking their seats and paying their respects, Emlyn glanced left and right and said, ”I want to know if there's something special about the Planter and the Moon pathways compared to the other pathways?”
After raising the question, he didn't hide it and instead added frankly, ”I recently learned that the internal system of the Church of Earth is different from other normal systems. It's split into two categories—Favored and Blessed…”
After Emlyn finished his simple description, Alger, Cattleya, Leonard, and company looked at each other, unable to provide a reasonable explanation.
Of course, every member present, including Derrick, could tell that the internal system of the Church of Earth was abnormal.
At this moment, they heard a soft sigh.
This sigh seemed to come from an era more ancient than ancient. It came from Mr. Fool, who sat at the end of the long mottled table.
