Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 264: Major Arcana cards

Views:

Franka, who was sitting cross-legged in the easy chair, seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago. After a little consideration, she smiled and said, "Mr. Fool's church is more like a relatively independent subordinate organization of our Tarot Club."

Seeing that Lumian was still a little confused, she further elaborated: "Each of the Major Arcana cards in our Tarot Club is a big figure in the real world or the world of mysticism. I suspect that the Pope of the Church of Fool should be one of them, and other Major Arcana cards may lead other organizations. The people in those organizations may not necessarily believe in Mr. Fool, but they will provide assistance to certain actions of the Tarot Club. In short, the Tarot Club is the highest deliberative body directly led by Mr. Fool. Every holder of a Major Arcana card has a very high status and has his own power, one of which is the Church of Fool."

Lumian probably understood what Franka meant, and asked, "How many Major Arcana do we have in total?"

Franka shook her head, "I can't give you an exact number because the identities of the Major Arcana holders are kept secret. The ones we come into contact with the most are only the Major Arcanas that belong to us directly."

"Well, mine is Lady of Judgment, mine is Lady of Judgment," Lumian followed.

Franka laughed: "It seems that the two of them often appear together. Well, we in the Tarot Club have a habit. After doing certain things, we will scatter the entire deck of Tarot cards on the scene and place the card that represents ourselves in the most eye-catching position."

"Isn't this a waste?" Lumian interrupted Franka.

"It's just a deck of tarot cards. Don't you think this is cool?"

Franca muttered a few words: "You can also just keep the card that represents you, but what's the use of a tarot deck without a card? You'll have to buy a new deck next time. If you go to a factory and order a large number of tarot decks with only one card, you'll easily be targeted."

“I can draw it myself.”

Lumian had already thought of a solution, and although he couldn't draw it exactly like the print, it was enough to show the main features of the "Seven of Wands".

Franka was speechless for a moment, and after a few seconds she said, "My paintings may have some connection with mysticism, so it would be a waste of energy to do reverse divination."

"Well, it's not necessary to release it. You don't need to release it when you are acting with non-Tarot Club members. You don't need to release it when you are carrying out a covert mission like this. You don't need to release it when you are clearly a suspect."

"Fuck, why did you divert the topic? What I wanted to say is that because our Tarot Club has such a habit and atmosphere, I learned about the more active Major Arcana cards through various newspapers and different occult gatherings. On the coast of the Sea of Break, Ms. Justice appeared several times in Trier and Backlund, Mr. Hanged Man, Ms. Hermit, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Moon and Mr. Star in the southern continent. As for whether there are other holders of the Major Arcana cards, I don't know."

Ms. Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Sun, Ms. Hermit, Mr. Star, Mr. Moon, Lumian found that this row of titles, when put together, was really mysterious and classy, unlike the "Seven of Wands" and "Two of Cups", which sounded like trash.

After a little thought, he found that Franka mentioned a key point. The places where Lady Justice appeared included the coast of the Sea of Break, Trier and Backlund. This was the only Major Arcana card that might be in Trier, except for Lady Judgment and Lady Magician. Lumian remembered very clearly that Ms. Susie mentioned that people on the west coast of the Sea of Break could indeed be Beyonders of the Audience Path. This in turn also showed that she had enough knowledge about the west coast of the Sea of Break.

Considering the fact that she and the other psychiatrist were both in Trier, their range of activities overlapped by at least two-thirds with that of Ms. Justice. In addition, Ms. Magician spoke of the two psychiatrists in a relatively equal manner and her own psychological problems involved higher-level matters, Lumian suspected that one of them was Ms. Justice.

Judging from the fact that both Ms. Magician and Ms. Judgement like to refer to themselves by Tarot cards and hide their real names, the mysterious lady sitting opposite is more likely to be the holder of the Major Arcana card, Justice, while Susie is more like her Minor Arcana card.

Thinking of this, Lumian looked at Franca, who had changed her sitting position, and said, "You were planning to find a real psychologist for Janna's brother from within our Tarot Club."

Not understanding why Lumian suddenly changed the subject to this matter, Franca was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I plan to find a member of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society. I will try not to contact them unless it is a very critical or serious matter. Although my Major Arcana card Lady of Judgment has always been very peaceful and willing to help, you know what? She is a true demigod, a great figure with divinity. How can we frequently bother her with various trivial matters? She said she doesn't mind, but what she says is not necessarily the same as what she thinks. Every time you cause trouble that doesn't make much sense, it may lead to a decrease in favorability. When the favorability drops to a certain level, a demigod has all kinds of ways to make you live worse than death, and you don't know why. I usually solve the problems I can solve by myself. If I can't, I will seek help from another Dena Martin or members of the research society. If that doesn't work, I will consider contacting Lady of Judgment."

Lumian actually also had the mission situation and other excuses to suppress the influence of Thermipolos. He could write to the magician from time to time and ask for some information. He had already written a letter anyway, so he wouldn't lose anything by asking. Seeing that the psychiatrist that Franca would hire was not the same as his own, Lumian did not mention Susie and nodded slightly, "I feel the same way."

At this time, Franka glanced around and lowered her voice unconsciously: "But when it's time to ask for help, don't be shy. The resources and power that these major Arcana cards have are beyond your imagination. Things that you think are difficult to do may be solved by them with just an order or a thought. Isn't my magical item [Ring of Punishment] very powerful? It was given to me by Lady Judgment after I made the request, and she even allowed me to delay the equivalent exchange chips for a period of time."

"Well, I understand why you were able to get the formula and main ingredients for the [Arsonist] potion so quickly."

That was indeed the correct guess, Lumian smiled.

With this gesture, he told Franka the correct answer.

He felt that if he could obtain Beyonder characteristics that matched the [Shadow Branches], he could really ask the magician to help find a saint-level craftsman to make the corresponding magical item. Compared to him, who was only Sequence 7, the magician, who had already entered the demigod realm, was more likely to know a high-level craftsman.

Franka exhaled and continued the previous topic: "Every holder of the Major Arcana card is a demigod, most likely a saint. At least the more active ones don't seem to have the status of angels on earth, but Madam Judgment told me that the Tarot Club has more than one angel, at least 8 saints, more than one angel. This is stronger than the Aurora Club, and it is worthy of being the most special secret organization."

As Lumian sighed, he instinctively wondered if this was a core member of the Tarot Club who was elevating himself to make his subordinates feel more included.

Franka said with longing, "My current dream is to advance to Sequence 5 step by step, then jump to Sequence 4 of the Hunter Path, become a demigod, and be eligible to get a Major Arcana card. That not only means greater strength and a sense of security, but also means that I can participate in the meeting before the Gods. When Mr. Fool wakes up, I can ask her one thing. According to Ms. Magician, only Mr. Fool can decide who gets the Major Arcana card, not whether someone has advanced to Sequence 4 and become a demigod."

Lumian discouraged Franca from having too high expectations.

Franka didn't mind at all and said with a smile: "Anyway, my question will have to wait until Mr. Fool wakes up. By then, the demigod will definitely be more qualified than other members to get the Major Arcana card."

At this point, she looked at Lumian and said, "Besides us, there are four more active Minor Arcana cards in Trier. There are a total of twenty-three in the entire world, but there may be fewer, because many Beyonders think it is cool to throw Tarot cards at the scene of an incident, and they deliberately imitate it, or use it to divert the direction of the official Beyonder investigation. In Trier, the most famous card is the Knight of Swords. At the beginning of the year, he detonated a warehouse belonging to the southern continent terrorist organization [Rose School], which hid a large amount of explosives, and there were also some non-human body parts at the scene."

Lumian listened carefully to Franka's story and gained a certain understanding of the Tarot Club, the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

He thought for a moment and said, "Were there any occult gatherings before the Minor Arcana?"

"No."

Franka shook her head again. "Unless we meet in reality like we did, we can only communicate through our respective Major Arcana cards. Well, there are regular gatherings between the Major Arcana cards in Mr. Fool's kingdom of God. But Lady Judgment mentioned once that if there is an urgent need, with the help of our own Major Arcana cards, we can communicate in a way that transcends the distance in reality, but this is not a routine matter."

Lumian was fine, and after chatting for a few more words, he heard Jenna's footsteps coming up the stairs, and he immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Franca asked a little confused.

There was nothing to do in the Breeze Ballroom at this time, so why not stay and play the Fighting Evil Cards invented by Emperor Roselle.

Lumian smiled with a complicated tone: "Let's go to the catacombs."

The ashes of madman Flamand and the Ruhr couple were finally going to be buried in the catacombs.
