Regarding the question of the "Justice" lady, Caine had actually thought about it long before—after all, it was his consistent practice to delegate troublesome issues to official organizations capable of resolving them. Yet the responses from Leonard and Parvesh Soloyasdi revealed something unusual. Leonard, known as one of the "Red Gloves" among the "Watchers," could easily fabricate a source to relay Amun’s arrival in Beckland directly to the Night Church, allowing the Archbishop and senior stewards to decide on a course of action, thus neither exposing his own vulnerabilities nor allowing the threat to grow. Instead, he opted for the plan of departing on a mission. If there were no underlying reasons for this choice, Caine would hardly believe it—even if he thought about it only with his toes. He initially suspected that informing the Church about Amun might lead to unforeseen negative consequences, and thus the Angel of the "Theft Path" within Leonard had rejected this course of action—being one of the most knowledgeable beings about Amun’s extraordinary abilities. When one doesn't know what to do, there's no doubt about it—one should emulate the experienced ones... Though the veil of gray mist may obscure things, when actual problems arise, they only reach the "Justice" lady. Still, it's unnecessary to take risks; the Tarot Circle isn't large, and every member deserves to be cherished. "The Fool" Kline thought for a moment, shook his head, and said calmly, with a slight smile, "Don't worry about Him." Don't worry about Him... How very much like a wild dog is "The Fool" acting—does He only regard the true gods of Sequence 0 as worthy of serious attention? Indeed, last time when "The Sun" was temporarily possessed by Amun's duplicate, "The Fool" effortlessly completed the purification; as long as Amun didn't personally appear, it didn't pose any significant issue for Him. Ah, then, by emphasizing this point at the beginning, "The Fool" likely intended to make us more cautious. "The Hangover" Alje thought with a mix of reverence and growing clarity. "Justice" Audrey likewise interpreted the meaning of "it's merely a small matter," and suddenly had a few associations: Was Mr. Germain Spalro's brief departure from Beckland a deliberate effort to avoid the "Time Angel," Amun? For the "Ace of Pentacles," though He is still gradually regaining His persona, depth, and strength, resolving Amun's duplicates is far from a difficult task—evidence from the earlier experience of the "Sun" bears this out. By sending His followers to avoid Amun, He wished to prevent the emergence of Amun's true form, which might otherwise disrupt His carefully concealed revival plan. Indeed, His emphasis just now seems to be a gentle reminder, assuring us that we might inadvertently encounter Amun and react inappropriately. How truly kind the "Ace of Pentacles" has been to us! Only now, after fully absorbing the news of the "Time Angel" Amun's appearance in Beckland, does "The Moon" Emlin begin to process it. Though he had always been proud, after several Tarot gatherings, he now understood what the King of Angels meant—someone standing just below Lilith, the first bloodline ancestor, and just below the true gods at the pinnacle of the divine hierarchy, the strongest being on earth, active in the real world! What would happen next in Beckland? There would surely be countless dead, injured, or ill, and I’d once again be kept busy by the priests... Emlyn recalled the days following the great smog, his expression subtly tinged with apprehension, a quiet fear that such events might unfold once more. Klein carefully chose his words, a smile playing on his lips, and glanced around. "To find you." "To find you?" This statement struck like successive lightning, jolting the others—Folth and the others—into sudden clarity, their spines tingling. Immediately, "Justice" Audrey connected this response with the earlier remark, "Don't worry about Him." She now perceived the " Fool" as an endless ocean, while the mere incarnation of the "Disbeliever" Amun was but a stone cast into its surface, creating ripples that quickly faded without further impact. Though Amun's incarnation had come specifically to seek out members of our Tarot Circle, the "Fool" had simply said, "Don't worry about Him"—a statement that rendered such concern entirely unnecessary. What praise for the "Fool"! Audrey's earlier tightness had now eased once more. Emlyn, the Moon; Firth, the Magician; and Deric, the Sun, also sensed a similar meaning. Some leaned back against the chair cushions, others exhaled openly, while others silently praised the Knight of Fools. Gardelia, the Hermit, had not personally witnessed the moment when Amun took form as Deric, the Sun, and only caught fragments during a few later exchanges, thus gaining only a limited understanding and a somewhat muted sense of feeling. Based solely on the dignity of the Archangel and Amun’s efforts to locate the members of the Tarot gathering, she felt a certain concern: Why has this Archangel, Amun, specifically targeted the Tarot Circle? Shouldn’t He have discovered us through Deric, the Sun? What is His purpose, and what confidence does He possess? Is He focusing specifically on the Knight of Fools? Can He perceive the anomalies linked to this gray mist? "Yet, the ' Fool ' said He didn't need to be concerned... meaning, under normal circumstances, couldn't Amun distinguish who among the Tarot members was truly one? 'The Kings of Angels' began to appear—was the fifth age drawing to a close?" After the tension in 'The Hanged Man' Aljer eased, he recalled another matter: when he first informed the Storm Church of the issues at Banxi Port, he had cited the reason as 'having heard it mentioned in the tavern.' And that person, he had described exactly as Amun—the 'Disbeliever'! Fortunately, even if the Church encountered Amun, given their usual manner of operation, they would never verify or question the matter. And no matter how Amun presented himself, due to his status, he would always appear highly suspicious and worthy of scrutiny in their eyes. Aljer didn't worry that this small matter would expose him. What he felt was that, moving forward, especially when dealing with higher figures—particularly the Angels and above—he would need to be more cautious, never taking them for granted or using them as shields at will. Thus, he silently reminded himself: Although not every high-ranking figure achieves the level of "every word spoken is heard" or possesses such a capacity, if one speaks often enough, fate might eventually carry them toward the person they seek—after all, the deeper one ascends, the stronger their connection to fate becomes! She clearly remembered that, right after the Tarot gathering on Monday last week, she had immediately written to the Queen explaining the meanings of the two "Rosalian" texts. Yet it wasn't until the weekend that she received a reply—three new journal pages and a question of moderate length: "Where does he find his spiritual and inner home—on that island, or deep within the stars?" As Gardelica, the "Hermit," read this passage repeatedly, she sensed a certain emotional fluctuation in the Queen's writing, less contained than her usual composed tone. Drawing upon her understanding of the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette, she silently sighed: In the Queen's heart, King Rosalind truly remains an unyielding knot—was that why she had never dared to advance to Rank 2? Cain had no idea what thoughts were swirling within the "Hermit"’s mind, so he nodded and gestured for her to manifest the new Rosalian journal entries. Soon, those three yellow-brown vellum sheets were in his hands: "March 10th, once again attending a gathering of that oldest and most secret organization. After so many observations, I am growing more and more puzzled about one question: What does it mean to be in tune with the times? Who defines the times? If, indeed, as they claim, at the end of everything, the original Creator will rise from death, awaken from slumber, reunite all things within Himself, and establish a new world and a new history—then why haven't they necessarily ensured that the course of the times follows a predictable course, aligning with expectations? Wouldn't it have been more efficient to swiftly orchestrate conspiracies, spark world wars, angelic wars, even divine wars, to accelerate their goals? Or perhaps, is 'time' itself an integral part of the original Creator? Only when time unfolds as expected can He draw strength from it, and thus awaken and revive?" This isn't scientific... Of course, the people I'm seeing and involved with now aren't quite that scientific. "Actually, in my view, why revive a creator figure who stands above everyone else? Wouldn't it be better if we just made a show of it, gave a nod to the occasion, and each of us enjoyed our own lives, free and unbound?" From my observations, heh, quite a few members share my perspective, though there are also some rigid and inflexible ones who strictly adhere to their own ideals—whether they're idealists or fervent cultists, I'm not sure. What I find most puzzling is that mysterious leader. Hermes, as I understand him, founded this organization originally—was, in fact, the very one who initiated it—with a group of others who shared the same beliefs and goals. Yet, he rarely expresses his own thoughts, and he never hinders members from using the organization as a platform for their own endeavors. Sometimes, I even forget he exists. He seems to simply sit there, quietly observing the conversations among us. "But in one matter, I witnessed His authority: a high-ranking strength that had defied the prevailing trends spoken of by them, was swiftly designated for elimination within just thirty seconds under His influence. I believe that poor fellow won't make it through this summer. 'Who is He? One of the ancient deities lingering from the Second Age?' Roser ended the sentence with two consecutive question marks, expressing his deep sense of puzzlement—a rare occurrence for him. Klein suspected this very manner of questioning had become the criterion by which Queen Bernadette, the Enigmatic, selected the diaries."
