Wait—why is she looking at the Sir of the Fool...? The Sir of Justice, Audrey, keenly noticed the subtle movements of the Sir of the Hermit, which left her quite puzzled. To her, this was an unusual response. The Sir of the Hangings had clearly spoken of something unrelated to the others—about the sea god Cavitua, who, though seemingly fallen, still occasionally responded to the doubts of his devotees. Yet why was the Lady of the Hermit gazing at the Sir of the Fool? Cavitua fallen... occasionally responding to devotees... the Lady of the Hermit looking at the Sir of the Fool... Could it be... Audrey's eyes brightened, and a thought formed spontaneously: "Could it be that the Sir of the Fool is now the one responding to the devotees in Cavitua's place?" "Does the Lady of the Hermit know something?" In an instant, Audrey turned slightly, leaning toward the Sir of the Fool, who sat calmly in the high-backed chair at the head of the bronze long table, where he had been leisurely seated. At the same time, Algier, the "Hanged Man," was astonished and stunned by the "Wanderer's" unexpected actions: "I had only been testing her relationship with Laticia, a member of the 'Moses Monastery.' How could she suddenly turn her gaze toward the 'Emperor'? Could it be—could it be—that she already knew the current 'Sea God' was, in fact, the embodiment of the 'Emperor'? Her reaction speaks volumes on this point! Before she was drawn into the Tarot circle, she had had numerous secret meetings with the 'Emperor,' and had even been quietly serving him all along." Algier found himself thinking more and more, growing increasingly devoted to the "Wanderer," and instinctively followed her gaze toward the 'Emperor' in the gray-white mist. Though Algier, the "Wanderer," and "Justice" appeared in sequence, their nearly synchronized movements made it clear to the others—especially the "Magician" Folth—that something was amiss. Why were they all looking at the 'Emperor'? Wasn't the death of the 'Sea God,' Cavitua, directly connected to him? Folth and Emlyn White, confident in their astute deductions, turned their attention to the head of the bronze table. "Deryck," the "Sun," was unaware of who "Cavitua, the Sea God," was, nor did he understand the significance of the occasional replies he received from the faithful after the Sea God's passing. Yet, as everyone else turned toward the "Knight," he naturally followed their gaze. "The World" hesitated by a single second, as if weighing his thoughts. He first glanced at "The Temperance," a look that made Aljero slightly startled, before finally shifting his gaze in line with the group. At this moment, Caine had realized that the "Hermit" lady had deduced his possible role as the representative of "Cavitua, the Sea God" from a specific detail, and was now pondering how to respond. Should I act as though, "This is merely a minor matter—I never truly cared until you mentioned it, so I'll just acknowledge it casually," or should I maintain the divine stance—never needing to explain, never needing to confirm or deny anything—since, as a god, such obligations are unnecessary? Reflecting on the established nature of "The Fool," Kline quickly made his decision: neither confirming nor denying outright, to preserve his divine dignity, yet subtly hinting at key points so that those who hadn't anticipated it grow even more puzzled, while those who had doubted find themselves enlightened yet still deeply uncertain about the depth of The Fool's intentions. With this thought in mind, Kline, leaning back, smiled gently and spoke with quiet ease: "Cavituvah became a half-god through the legacy of the great calamity, Hishinam." "Actually, they've been consulting the ' Fool' about matters related to the ' Sea God'... Yet this still fails to convince me. I keep sensing something deeper, something more profound hidden beneath the surface... Could it be? Perhaps?" The magician, Fols, furrowed her brows, forming various associations. Indeed! The ' Hermit' Gautheria interpreted this as the ' Fool' giving a direct, positive response, and also shared some hidden insights. "That semi-divine staff—was it a characteristic of Cavitova, or a relic from the ' Cataclysm' Gisnam, or both? Gisnam, the name sounds very elven. Oh, the ' Hanged Man' mentioned that Laticia discovered an ancient elven ruin—an upper elven dwelling? How exactly did the ' Fool' acquire that staff? Through the ' Hanged Man,' or perhaps someone else?" No, not at all like the 'Turner'—otherwise he would have brought it up himself... What is the 'Wanderer' doing in place of the 'Sea God,' responding to the faithful? Is this part of His revival, a tangible influence on reality? Even merely reaching the level of half-divine, she would offer substantial protection at sea... "The Hermit showed no great surprise, which indicates she must have already interacted with the Sir of the Fool, gaining prior insights—this in turn suggests her rank is not low, perhaps truly a strong commander of the pirate fleet. This is both a blessing and a challenge." "On the positive side, with a powerful new force now at sea, we can collaborate seamlessly at times, achieving things previously unimaginable. The downside is that my information networks and resource channels will largely be absorbed by hers, and my influence within the Tarot Circle will decline sharply—though this depends entirely on her indeed being the Star Above Commander." "Ah, I'll need to shift my focus in gathering intelligence and securing resources, leaning more heavily toward the Church—this is something she cannot replicate." The Tower of Aljere thought with both enthusiasm and caution. Indeed, that "God of the Sea" is truly the Sir Fool! No, no, rather—now the "God of the Sea" is the embodiment of Sir Fool himself! Has He begun to genuinely intervene in the real world? This is absolutely wonderful! From now on, if I travel by sea, I can simply pray to the "God of the Sea" and receive a response? "Justice" Audrey is both astonished, delighted, and proud. As far as she knows, within the various churches, it is rare—indeed, exceptional—that a mere prayer, without the performance of fixed ritual magic, yields a response from the divine. Such cases are typically found among long-serving priests, or among a handful of the divinely favored. Among the "divinely favored," it is itself an exceptional occurrence for a prayer to be answered every time. And I am one of those! Sir Fool is gradually returning to his divine seat, and assuming the role of "God of the Sea" is one of the steps in that journey... Audrey could not conceal her emotional transformation, smiling gently and sitting upright with graceful poise. Highsingham? This is a elven name—I think I've heard it mentioned somewhere… "Moon," Emlyn's thoughts drifted as he tried to recall, but he came up empty. As for the death of Cavituwa, the "Sea God," he still hadn't quite grasped how the responses from the faithful, or the interactions between the "Hermit," "Justice," and "The Hanged Man" regarding the "Knight of the Fool" were connected. He had a vague sense of it, but hadn't pursued it further. What did it have to do with me? It wouldn't affect my mission to save the bloodline, nor was it particularly interesting! In any case, if there was an issue, I'd simply pray to the "Knight of the Fool." Emlyn muttered this to himself, showing little regard for the others' emotional shifts. "A great calamity?" "The Queen of the Great Calamity?" There was no record indicating her name was Goshinam. "Sun," Deric slightly tilted his head to the left—this was his habitual gesture when recalling details. It seems the little "Sun" isn't quite sure whether Gohsinar is indeed the "Queen of Calamities," otherwise she wouldn't react this way... Caine sighed slightly and withdrew his gaze. He then had the "World" clear his throat, bringing everyone's attention back. With the assistance of the "Fool," the "World" projected an image to either side: "Does anyone know her?" This was a photograph of Ilean, the redhead. Caine was primarily looking to see if either the "Star General" Gardeleia or the "Hanged Man" Aljere recognized her, as both were well-informed about maritime affairs. Aljere glanced at the image, about to speak and indicate he didn't recognize her, when the "Hermit" lady spoke calmly: "Ilean, the redhead, is of the Indistis-Solren noble lineage—a once-wealthy but now fallen noblewoman." Gardeleia paused and added: "She was a sea trader, and it's said later that she was captured by the 'Disease Maiden' Tricia." "The 'Disease Captain'? I thought this was going to be a melodramatic tale of a powerful pirate and a noble lady... Though, to be fair, Tracie does have a strong, commanding streak, quite the pirate. Kline found himself daydreaming. After the matter of Ileana's red hair came to a close, Audrey of Justice began to consider whether to seek the advice of the Mind Dragon. Unlike before, this time she was joined by a "Wise One" lady whose nature was still unclear and whose trustworthiness remained uncertain, which made her hesitate. After a brief pause, she finally spoke: "I've recently been searching for the Mind Dragon and have visited a place where there's a tradition of venerating dragons." She omitted specific details about the location and any aspects that might reveal her own identity.
