Chapter 63: The Tarot Club Number Given to Leonard
"Yes!" Rosen nodded, smiling broadly. "So, why don't you join us? Pales, the Church of the Fools is short-handed right now. If you join, you can directly become one of the angels serving the Fools, seizing the opportunity to become an elder angel. Otherwise, you might have to wait until later..."
At this point, Rosen shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a way to join."
That's the truth. The Church of Fools is only accepting anyone who comes because they're short-staffed right now. Otherwise, if Pales really wanted to join later, they might not agree. After all, although this old angel is a Sequence 1, he's far too slick. In terms of what he can do, he might not be as useful as a hardworking Sequence 2.
It's because the original story's group of the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant was incomplete and lacked soul; otherwise, Rosen wouldn't have bothered inviting them.
As for why Rosen was so interested in the Fool's Church, the reason was simple: firstly, he found it very interesting, and secondly, given his relationship with Mr. Fool, what difference was there between the Fool's Church and his own church?
"...May I have the honor of knowing who that Fool is?" Pales did not directly agree or refuse, but asked in a tactful tone.
If you want Him to be your subordinate, you have to let Him know who the other party is!
"Mr. Fool is a being resurrected from ancient times; you don't know Him," Rosen explained with a smile. Sensing Pales's speechlessness, he paused before slowly adding:
"However, in a sense, you can regard Him as a deity."
Pales: !!!
If Pales was first startled when he saw Rosen put on the monocle, and then secondly startled when Rosen used the uniqueness of the thief and the combination of Source Castle's techniques to suppress him, then at this moment Pales was clearly startled a third time.
As an angel of the Gou family, Pales naturally knew some secrets that others did not, so he knew that the former Lord of Mysteries seemed to have a title of Celestial Venerable.
"...Your joke is really too frightening." Pales hesitated for a moment before speaking tactfully, but his eyes remained fixed on Rosen's expression, trying to glean an answer from it.
"Well, just take it as a joke!" Rosen didn't explain anything. He smiled, then looked at Leonard, who was sitting quietly beside him, his eyes glazed over, clearly suffering from a mental breakdown due to absorbing too much information in a short period of time, and said:
"Leonard, what's your opinion on the Church of the Fools?"
"Huh? Uh, I..." Leonard was caught off guard by the question and stammered for a while before finally saying, "The Church of the Fools is our ally."
"Now, I'm giving you a task to strengthen the relationship between the Church of the Fool and the Church of the Night. Are you willing to do it?" Rosen continued with a smile.
"What mission?" Leonard, unusually astute, didn't directly agree or refuse, but instead asked.
"The Fool's Church has a highest-level organization called the Tarot Society, which is a true gathering before God, and now we hope you can join it," Rosen explained simply.
"Why me? I'm just an ordinary night watchman," Leonard asked, expressing his confusion.
"You're no ordinary person. A truly ordinary person wouldn't have an angel as their grandfather," Rosen said meaningfully, then continued, "Of course, most importantly, your fate is already connected to that Fool, so you're the most suitable one."
Leonard's expression immediately conveyed the thought, "Really? Are you kidding me?" He hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "Your Highness Rosen, is this your intention, or the Church's?"
"This is the will of the Goddess of Night." Rosen gave an answer that exceeded Leonard's expectations. He looked at Leonard's wide-eyed expression and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the Goddess of Night for the answer right now."
Leonard was stunned, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen. But after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "It's not convenient now. I'll ask the goddess for an answer once we leave the underground." As he said this, Leonard couldn't help but glance at Rosen.
Leonard's desire to seek confirmation from the Goddess of the Night was not simply about joining the Tarot Club; it was mainly because he was uncertain about Rosen's existence and what his situation was.
If the other party is truly an angel who stayed in the Church of the Night with the goddess's tacit approval, that's one thing. But if all of this is a lie... that would be terrifying.
But will the goddess really give me an answer?
Leonard was somewhat confused. Although most ritual magic prayers to the Goddess of Night were successful, it did not mean that prayers to the Goddess of Night would be answered. In fact, apart from the chosen ones, most believers would never receive any response to their prayers to the Goddess of Night throughout their lives.
Leonard has prayed to the goddess of night for countless years without ever receiving a response.
But if what Prince Rosen said is true, then perhaps I really can get a response from the goddess... Leonard hesitated in his heart, but couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Rosen glanced at Leonard, and seeing what the other was thinking, he couldn't help but smile.
Although his words were meant to fool Leonard, Rosen believed that if Leonard were to actually ask the Goddess of Night for confirmation, he would definitely not receive a negative answer.
The Goddess of the Night is a notorious voyeur, and she would never mind sending someone into the Tarot Club to get closer to them.
……
While Rosen was using a fake account to amuse the old man and incidentally giving Leonard a Tarot Club number, on the other side, Klein and Rosen, accompanied by Dunn, had already awakened Ince Zangwell and begun interrogating him.
Ince Zangwill initially didn't intend to say anything, but even the toughest person has moments of vulnerability, and as a mentally unbalanced hater of the Goddess of the Night, Ince Zangwill's weakness couldn't be more obvious.
Klein didn't even need to use his extraordinary abilities. He simply used a series of smooth little moves, such as "Do you think the Goddess of Night will pay attention to you because of what you've done? No, God doesn't care," to successfully break Ince Zangwill's defenses. In the end, Ince began to give a long speech about his series of plans, including the messes he had already made and what he planned to do in the future.
When Dunn heard Ince Zangwell say that he planned to use the offspring of the evil god to wipe out the Tingen Night Watchers, and then reap the benefits by taking Saint Selena's ashes after everyone was dead, Dunn really wanted to punch the traitor in front of him.
When Dunn heard that Ince planned to use 008 to hunt down the Eye of Goddess, he was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Ince as if he were a madman.
