Almost instantly, "The Hanged Man" Aljer realized that "The Fool" had changed in ways not seen before. In the past, "The Fool" had been both lofty and profound, inscrutable, exuding a sense of serene superiority, as if observing everything from above. But now, even without doing anything at all, "The Fool" seemed to have merged seamlessly with the entire space, standing clearly and distinctly at the pinnacle—visibly the sovereign of this realm. A single glance revealed the third "Card of Desecration," reinforcing Aljer's conviction: Indeed, "The Fool" had collaborated with "The Archangel of Vision" Adam in orchestrating the events concerning Inz. Zangewell— one of them now holding the "0–08," a step closer to divinity, while the other had secured numerous benefits, including the "Card of Desecration," and regained much of their strength! The age had thus been transformed. At this moment, Aljer fully grasped the deeper meaning of what "The Fool" had just said. The other members of the Tarot Circle were certain to have noticed his turn of head, observing that his gaze had settled upon Mr. The Fool. After a brief moment of astonishment, they gradually came to a clear realization: Adam, the "Angel of Vision," had from the very beginning been aware of Inz. Zangewell's plans, and had dispatched his followers to collaborate—indeed, had even provided direct assistance! Otherwise, how could a newly ascended half-god have been drawn into the events concerning the King of Angels and the zero-level seal, so early in the process? And how could Mr. Germain Sparo, even if he had been drawn in by a series of coincidences, have gained such a clear understanding of them? The acquisition of the "Lovers" card, the promotion of the "World" gentleman, the death of Ines Zangewell, and the fulfillment of the "Ideal Angel" Adam's purpose—all occurred simultaneously within this week... This demonstrates an inseparable connection among them. My initial intuition was correct: the acquisition of a new "Lovers" card and the "World" gentleman's psychological distress are distinct outcomes of the same underlying event. "Justice" Audrey gave a slight nod, confirming her own hypothesis. "Stars" Leonard, however, grew increasingly convinced that the matter of Ines Zangewell was more complex than he had imagined, believing that, aside from the "Angel King" Adam, there must have been another major figure of comparable stature present at the time. Otherwise, it would have been unnecessary for Amun's brother, the child of the ancient sun god, to seek assistance from the "Fool" gentleman—since, despite the strength and terror of the "0–08," he could not compare to the "Disbeliever" as described by the elderly Palis Soloyasde, and the gap between Adam and Amun was likely not significant. "The evil spirit克莱恩 sent to the Underworld seems far from ordinary—nothing quite captures its essence with a simple description like 'the Hunter.'... Well,克莱恩's involvement in the matter of Inz. Zangweil wasn't merely about revenge; there was also the command from 'The Fool' himself..." Leonard sighed, yet no negative sentiment arose—on the contrary, he felt a quiet relief. In his view, this was entirely natural. 'The Fool' had agreed to convene such a gathering, establish a formal organization, and personally preside over it as a divine sovereign. It was clearly not simply seeking to make things lively here, nor driven purely by benevolence. He must have his own purposes and needs—objectives that could be fulfilled through the efforts of克莱恩, as a favored servant, and himself, as a member. Thus, seeking vengeance against Inz. Zangweil and accepting the command from 'The Fool' were not contradictory; the latter did not diminish the former's significance. As for why he felt relieved, it was because Leonard believed that the "Knight of Pentacles" had clearly demonstrated His purpose—more so than being entirely chaotic and unknown—so that there was no need to dwell in fear, speculating, or waiting. ——he had initially harbored strong caution toward Palis Soloyasde, precisely because he could not determine the other’s true intentions. At this moment, the "Knight of Pentacles" Caine remained silent, neither confirming nor denying his own judgments and speculations about the members' minds. He guided "World" Germain Spalro to continue: "Adam likely established a very secret organization, quietly steering the course of the age. "Many of the great figures you could never have imagined are members of this organization, orchestrating one event after another." "Also, after you leave here, do not mention or write down the name of Adam, nor his titles—try to avoid thinking about it too much, since He possesses the characteristic of 'whatever is spoken, it will be known.' The more you come to know Him, the more likely He will become aware of you—this is similar to the '0–08' phenomenon." Upon hearing the "World" gentleman's description, "Justice" Audrey immediately recalled a mysterious organization she had previously learned about from the "Fool" gentleman: The Twilight Hermit Order! This prompted her to quickly form a hypothesis: The King of Angels, Adam, is the leader of the Twilight Hermit Order! The "Idealized Angels" belong to the "Audience" path, and so does the '0–08'—thus, 'whatever is spoken, it will be known' is a remarkable ability of the higher levels of this path, and the principle that 'the more someone is known, the more likely they are to know the other' is also true! Truly impressive... yet, might this become too noisy? Audrey found herself both envious and yearning, yet also concerned and uncertain. "Whatever is spoken shall be known..."—the organization that carried out the assassination of Duke Niggen, standing behind Zilinger, was founded by King Adam, the King of the Angels...Aljere felt a sudden clarity, then his expression grew slightly serious. He began to suspect a connection between the primitive island he had previously explored and this secret organization, since Zilinger had ventured deep into it, uncovering numerous discoveries, and the island's eventual disappearance bore a strong resemblance to the "Dragon of Imagination" ability described by the Sun. The convergence of these elements made Aljere's suspicion inevitable, and he further believed that the collaboration between the "Fool" and King Adam of the "Imaginary Angels" began precisely when he and Germain Sparo first entered that original island. As he reflected more deeply, he grew increasingly convinced that this was indeed the case, because after the entity within the island ruins had been awakened, it merely exhaled a single sigh and did not prevent him and Germain Sparo from escaping. So it was like that... The arrangements made by the great figures were truly subtle—something I completely failed to notice at the time. The games played by the deities were indeed intricate, perhaps only those in Sequence 1, or even the King of Angels, were truly qualified to participate. "The Empress" Alje sighed, feeling a quiet yearning arise. "The Magician" Forse had completely forgotten the mysterious organization mentioned by the former "The Fool" gentleman, only realizing its connection to the Duke of Nigan's assassination when the phrase "Whatever is spoken shall be known" reached her ears. Yet, what truly mattered to her wasn't this issue, but another point: when she had previously shared certain aspects of the Tarot Circle and much of the general knowledge with Tho, she had specifically mentioned the name Adam! Did Adam also possess the quality of "Whatever is spoken shall be known"? Then... had both I and Tho been made aware of this by Him? Forse was startled, and instinctively turned her head, her gaze fixed on Tho, who sat just beyond him in the "Judgment" position. At first, she knew that Adam was the Son of the Creator from the "Recluse" lady, who had never emphasized at all not to mention the name of this King of Angels outside! "I have mentioned Adam," the "Magician" Folshe actively interjected, slightly stammering. Hux's spirit became highly tense, as though a venomous snake had crept into his clothes and was crawling upward along his back. "Recluse" Gauthier nodded: "Don't worry. While people who know both Adam and Amon may not be many in the real world, there will surely be enough. I've mentioned His name in many occasions. As long as your words don't involve any secrets, I believe He will simply glance at you and then shift His gaze." She spoke with greater confidence, because within the knowledge-seeking Monastery of Moss, Adam's existence was no secret and was frequently referenced. At this moment, her mind was entirely occupied with another matter—could the secret, ancient organization that King Roscel was joining be the very one founded by the King of Angels, Adam? "Magician" Folshe hurriedly recalled, speaking with some nervousness: "Given the involvement of the God-forgotten lands, the Court of the Giants, Amun, and the King of Angels—does that seem out of place?" She was most grateful now that she hadn't mentioned the name "Tarot Circle" nor described the other members, only noting that the most somber one was Germain Spalro. "The Hermit" Gauthier mused: "Given your standing, it's indeed unusual to discuss knowledge of this caliber. However, once Adam delves deeper, he'll inevitably discover your connection to the Abraham family and find it entirely natural. You must be vigilant, though—whenever major events involving the Abraham family arise, watch closely for Adam's reactions." "How can I possibly defend myself?" Folshe smiled with a touch of resignation, glanced once at the bronze table's headmost seat, then looked back at the "Hermit." "Thank you for your analysis." Since the "Knight" had said nothing, she decided to trust the "Hermit's" words. At that moment, the "Knight" Kline silently sighed within himself. When the "Hermit" Gauthier had mentioned Adam at the Tarot gathering, he had not yet known that Adam's name could not be spoken aloud, nor that Adam was connected to the Twilight Hermits—only after entering *The Grolsch Journey* did he learn from the monk Snowman that Adam was the "Angel of Imagination," and thus began to form a hunch. Only when he saw "Mr. Door's" reminder in King Roscel's diary did he initially confirm it, but thereafter he never had the opportunity to remind the members. Moreover, the fact that the Archbishop of the Steam Church casually mentioned the name Adam made him believe that the real world was already well aware of Adam, making it unnecessary to be so cautious. He also thought Adam might not be his full name. Thus, he didn't rush to steer the conversation toward this topic during gatherings, but instead waited for the right moment. "Whatever is spoken shall be known"? Indeed, the organization founded by Adam is impressive—this is precisely the phased objective we've been aiming for in our Tarot Circle! Emlyn, representing the "Moon," expressed both admiration and a clearer understanding of the Tarot Circle. Previously, he had been seeking to define the Tarot Circle's identity, only to find that it neither resembled the Divine Church nor the other secret organizations, and beyond the shared connection with the Savior's Alliance, it possessed so many unique characteristics that its essence remained somewhat unclear. Today, however, he finally confirmed that the early development of the Tarot Circle could be directly aligned with Adam's organization. Leonard, a "star" who understands the characteristics of "0–08," wouldn't be surprised to find similar traits in Adam. What strikes him more is the well-established organization involving many prominent figures, as well as the Abrahamic family mentioned by the "Mystic" woman. He had once heard Palehs Soloyasdi explain that this family held an exceptionally high status during the Fourth Millennium.
