The "Sun" in the visual focus, Deric, spoke with ease and eagerness: "Over the past period, I've accompanied the exploration team led by the 'Chief' to the Afternoon Town. This is the route to the 'Kingdom of the Giants'—the threshold between myth and reality." His opening effectively captured the interest of the Tarot Circle members, who now waited in varied postures for the next part. Deric omitted less significant experiences along the way and began directly with his arrival in Afternoon Town, describing the town's somber, still atmosphere, then recounting how his small team discovered the underground altar, and how he himself identified the names Ulorius, Medici, and Salsir—gradually stepping into the town's other side, where he encountered titles such as 'Dark Angel' and the phrase 'Rose of Redemption.' At this point, he once again expressed his gratitude to the 'Wise Man,' thanking Him for helping him break free. Then, Driek simply introduced the monster formed from his own shadow, placing particular emphasis on the cleric constantly confessing within the partially collapsed church. He recounted the sentences in his own words, mentioning that when the cleric reached the moment to name the fourth King of the Angels, he suddenly self-destructed, consumed by a transparent flame and reduced to ashes. Another King of the Angels! And the atmosphere in the town this afternoon has been so gloomy and unsettling—the cleric’s confessions were truly profound, yes, quite reminiscent of a disaster prophet… Audrey listened intently, curious about the two names that remained blank and unspoken. At that very moment, "Sun" Driek turned slightly, gazing toward the head of the bronze long table, and with sincere reverence asked: "Mr. 'The Fool,' who tempted 'The Dark Angel' Salsir? Who does the fourth name represent, and why cannot it be spoken?" There it came—Clairin’s smile, just after the gray mist, nearly stiffened. He had hurriedly sent the little "Sun" back to the real world earlier, precisely fearing that he might be asked similar questions! At the time, his concern was that the little "Sun" would inquire about Sathelir, the "Dark Angel"; now, however, he faced questions for which he had no answers at all. Fortunately, magicians never perform without preparation. After that day, there was no doubt that Caine had seriously considered how to respond to such inquiries. Now, he felt confident. With his right hand gently resting on the armrest, and a thoughtful, significant smile in his eyes, he said: "Because it is secret." Through his gaze and body language, he subtly conveyed to the Tarot assembly that this "secret" was not merely the ordinary meaning of the word—it carried a deeper, more specific connotation. Yet what exactly that was, they were to discover for themselves—divine intent was deliberately veiled. After completing this series of actions, Caine couldn't help but silently regret, feeling that he was truly becoming more and more of a spiritual charlatan. He also reflected that sometimes the "Recluse's" observation stemmed from his own prompting, since the " Fool" would use subtle eye contact and body language to offer additional cues, and all members would instinctively pay attention to His demeanor. It was simply impossible not to rely on these—how could he maintain the illusion otherwise? I'm not actually a true deity of the supernatural! Caine sighed internally. Secret? Does the very name imply secrecy? Is that precisely what the "Fool" intended to convey? Hmm, which names inherently carry the sense of secrecy? The true gods at the Sequence 0 level? The "Hanged Man" Alje instantly recalled several examples, and, drawing on the details shared by the younger "Sun," formed some initial hypotheses. When even the names themselves have become secret, it signifies that the matter involves the true gods—and likely the "Goddess of Night," for she is the "Mother of Secrets!" The extreme darkness of the "God-Abandoned Lands" bears witness to this. Based on her knowledge and the hints from the "Knight of Foolishness," the "Recluse" Gauthier makes a somewhat uncertain inference. At the same time, she is almost certain that the great disaster indicated by the cleric marks the end of the Third Age—the "Great Cataclysm." The celestial King, lured and then fallen; the townsfolk of the Afternoon Town, gradually corrupted; the city itself, slowly eroded—these elements coalesce into a single black "Cataclysm," burying an entire age and giving rise to the "God-Abandoned Lands." How heavy a sense of history this is! Gauthier finds herself quietly reflecting on it. While the members of the Tarot circle ponder, the "Knight of Foolishness," Klein, is also analyzing why the names remain blank and why they cannot be spoken aloud: "Could it be the true names of the gods?" What truly captivated the "Shadow Angel" Sasselir was the True God—wasn't it? The Angel King embodied by the fourth name later himself became a True God? "But I haven't failed to mention the true names of the deities. 'Primordial Witch' Chik is widely regarded as equal in stature to the Seven Gods, yet nothing significant has transpired. "Perhaps it has to do with the language used? The Rûn, Indis, Fsaq, and even the ancient Fsaq tongues are incapable of stirring natural forces. In contrast, the Giant tongue spoken in Silver City can. The cleric must have been using one of these languages. "Try reciting Chik's name in the Giant tongue next time—then have her pass away on the spot, a dramatic failure. Well, fine. But also, a name remains blank if it can't be spoken, and the performance would differ. I still don't know why. At this point, seeing the young "Sun" bewildered and unable to grasp the profound hint from the "Knight of Cups" Sir Aljere, Aljere stepped forward to explain: "Those two names might each represent two divine beings, which is why they remain unspeakable. Perhaps it was the 'True Creator' who tempted the 'Dark Angel' Sarsil, leading several Angel Kings and the residents of the town to fall, bringing about a great catastrophe—thus, only He possesses temples and images in your 'Land of the Forgotten Gods.' The fourth name, corresponding to an Angel King, may have gained immense benefit during the disaster and has thus been elevated to the status of a true god." This aligns closely with my own speculation, though I still cannot be certain... "The Hermit" Giselle did not add any further details; she did not consider her and the "Hanged Man's" interpretation to be the definitive truth. "Justice" Audrey, "The Magician" Fother, and "The Moon" Emlin listened intently, quietly marveling at how the Tarot always seemed so sophisticated when discussing such matters—terms like "King of Angels," "True and False Gods," or "Ancient Secrets" felt merely nominal. "Ah, now I understand," said "The Sun" Derek, once again sincerely thanking the "The Fool." As he turned to resume his position, he suddenly remembered something and asked with a touch of concern: "Mr. The Fool, is it truly the 'Kingdom of the Giants' that holds the key to leaving the 'Abandoned Holy Lands'?" After all, he had long accepted the "Penitent" gentleman's assertion that the region of the Silver City was indeed the 'Abandoned Holy Lands.' That's how I see it, but the issue is—I can't be certain... The idea of turning away from the seashore and instead exploring the "Hall of the Giants" seems to have originated with Loviara, the "Shepherd." This supports my judgment from the side, yet it's not entirely ruled out that it might be a deliberate scheme. The smile of the "Fool," Caine, once again grows stiff. Rushing through his thoughts, he quickly devises a solution that requires no direct response and preserves the dignity of the "Fool." He chuckles lightly, with ease, and turns his gaze toward "The Hermit," Gauthier. "Regarding this matter, well, Bernadette already knows how to enter the 'Land Forgotten by the Gods.'" Gauthier immediately recalls a hazy dream image, instinctively glancing toward the head of the bronze long table. "Is it the projection?" "She had hardly finished speaking when she suddenly became aware of herself again observing the 'Card of the Fool,' and promptly closed her eyes, saying, 'My 'Eye of Insight' is instinctive—it can only grow stronger, never diminish, and must be sealed by magical artifacts...' Yet there were none here. Ah, so it is,' said Caine, gently nodding. 'You could manifest a pair of glasses.' 'Yes, Sir, the 'Card of the Fool.' 'Gardelis,' following the instruction, manifested the glasses. During this process, Caine subtly infused the forces of the gray mist into the glasses. When Gardelis put them on, as expected, she found her 'Eye of Insight' sealed. It was only then that the others, including the magician Fols, realized that the 'Trickster' lady's eyes were exceptionally unique, intimately tied to the 'Revelation'—they could be used simply by being present, without any need to open them." It's no wonder we didn't notice—Gardel, the Lady of the Hidden One, had suffered serious trauma from observing the Fool, Mr. Kline...Audrey of Justice gave a subtle, thoughtful movement of her lips, resolving one of her earlier questions. As she recalled the Hidden One having previously observed her, and as she remembered the storm-worn clerical attire the Inverted One, Aljere, had worn here, her face grew pale. The Fool, Kline, didn't wait for the others to regain composure; he offered a low, amused reply to Gardel's earlier query: "It was the projection. The projection of the 'Hall of the King of Giants.'" "Ah, so it was the Hall of the King of Giants' projection..." Gardel, the Hidden One, breathed in surprise. Immediately, she felt a bit dazed, thinking: She should have known this answer by now... "Sun" Driek took a few seconds to absorb the conversation between the "Knight" and the "Hermit," gradually grasping a fact: the key to entering the "Deserted Realm" was connected to the projection of the "Kingdom of the Giants"! So, was the key to leaving the "Deserted Realm" truly in the "Kingdom of the Giants"? "Sun" Driek felt a surge of excitement, his heart trembling as he looked down and said, "Thank you for your explanation, Sir Knight." Huff... Caine quietly exhaled, feeling utterly drained—such a scene simply consumed too much mental energy. "The Hanged Man" Aljir composed himself, glanced around, and then turned to the "Hermit," asking, "Where is the projection of the 'Kingdom of the Giants'?" He didn't dare to ask the "Knight" directly, as he had been turned down previously when he had inquired about the "Deserted Realm." Cadry answered calmly: "In the waters east of Sunya Sea, in the dreams of night. "I've been eager to share with you some of my experiences from there." Both "Justice" Odile and "The Magician" Folsen slowed their breaths, eagerly anticipating the surely marvelous tales to be told by the Lady of the Hidden Ones. ps: Recommended novel by a friend, "The Card Across Time," a story about drawing all kinds of objects.
