Chapter 55 "Make a wish upon me, Mr. Sun".
Perhaps because she drew the card she wanted, Audrey's fear and panic dissipated considerably, replaced by curiosity and longing for the unknown and the mysterious.
Compared to the jubilant Audrey, Cattleya's emotions were much more restrained. She also drew a card, and the result shown on the card was The Hermit.
not bad!
Cattleya breathed a sigh of relief, not only because the Hermit card suited her perfectly, but also because drawing the card she wanted meant that Mr. Fool was probably not really angry with her.
Otherwise, a deity who controls destiny would have far too many ways to make her achieve results she doesn't want.
Across from the two ladies, Alger Wilson and Derrick Berg had also finished drawing their code names. Unsurprisingly, one was the Hanged Man, and the other was just the Sun.
It's hard to say that someone might have been manipulating things behind the scenes.
After everyone had drawn their code names, Gadriya looked up at Rosen and said in a very friendly tone, "Sir, how should we address you?"
From what had just happened, Cattleya could easily sense the unusual nature of the person before her; he was very likely a follower or even a follower of the Fool.
"You may call me the Moon," Rosen said with a smile. He then gestured to the lowest seat at the bottom of the bronze table and said, "That is the World."
Cattleya paused for a moment, then belatedly looked over and realized that the seat wasn't empty; there was a... doll on it.
Extraordinary beings on the path of vengeful spirits?
Cattleya couldn't help but wonder.
The others naturally noticed the cotton doll's presence at that moment, and most of them showed expressions of surprise.
World Klein greeted them warmly, saying, "Hello, I'm World."
"Hello, Mr. World, I am the Hermit," Cattleya said with a smile, her extensive knowledge revealing nothing unusual.
"Hello, Mr. World, I am Justice. Are you...are you human?" Audrey couldn't help but ask, then realizing something, she quickly added, "I'm sorry, Mr. World, I was just too curious. Please forgive me if I offended you..."
"It's alright." World Klein certainly wouldn't hold anything against Audrey. He replied with a smile, "I am human. I only exist in the form of a doll now because of some special reasons."
"Oh, I see," Audrey said somewhat dryly, but she still seemed to have learned something new.
Rather, for Audrey, who was still just an ordinary person, everything that happened today was too wonderful and completely beyond her imagination.
The others then greeted World Klein and exchanged codenames in the process.
After everyone had gotten to know each other, Derrick Berg, as if unable to contain himself any longer, looked in the direction of Mr. Fool and said, "Mr. Fool, I want to beg you to save my parents. I'm willing to pay any price for it..."
"Don't rush, Mr. Sun, and don't make any promises with any price so easily." Fool Zhou Mingrui interrupted him, his tone not harsh, but more like an elder instructing his junior.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fool, I was just too hasty." Little Sun Derrick lowered his head in shame.
Rosen then said, "Why don't you tell us about your parents' situation first? Perhaps you won't need Mr. Fool's help; someone among us here can help solve your problem."
Little Sun Derrick immediately began to recount his parents' current situation, ending sadly, "...I don't want them to die, I don't want to kill them with my own hands, and I don't want them to become monsters, but I don't know what to do."
"I'm afraid I'm not capable of helping your parents in this condition." After listening attentively, the hermit Cattleya shook her head; she was not skilled in healing.
If even Sequence 5 couldn't do anything about it, then Alger the Hanged Man and Audrey the Righteous would certainly be even less able to.
Rosen remained silent. Although he could actually resolve the issue of Little Sun's parents, today was Mr. Fool's day, and he naturally had to give the spotlight to him.
World Klein was initially quite eager to try, as his mysterious servant abilities allowed him to make Little Sun make a wish to heal the other party's parents.
But after thinking it over, World Klein still didn't speak, intending to leave this matter to his future self to handle.
So Little Sun Derrick could only turn his hopeful gaze to Mr. Fool once again.
The Fool Zhou Mingrui sighed, looking down at the unfortunate fate of Silver City, and said in a gentle and compassionate tone:
"Make a wish upon me, Mr. Sun."
Derrick Berg paused for a moment, then said without hesitation, "Mr. Fool, I make a wish to you, a wish that my parents may recover their health."
"I have heard your wish," said Zhou Mingrui the Fool, as if he were a deity who listens to the wishes of all beings.
As a mysterious servant, if Little Sun's parents were already dead, he would indeed have no way to resurrect them. However, now that they are only seriously injured and on the verge of death, he has more than one way to save them.
This isn't even a huge wish, since the Diviner path, even at Sequence 7, has a healing skill that can directly use a paper doll to transfer the location of a serious injury.
Therefore, Mr. Fool only needs to use the Miracle Worker's authority to fulfill Little Sun's wish.
Derrick, the little sun, felt a surge of tension. He didn't know what the outcome would be, but then he heard a soft chuckle.
"When you go back, you will see your parents, and they will be perfectly healthy."
So my wish has been fulfilled?
Little Sun Derrick blinked in confusion. He couldn't believe that something that had caused him so much pain for so long could be resolved so easily.
Is this the power of the gods?
Little Sun Derrick suddenly remembered the ancient books that recorded the various events before the gods disappeared, which made him realize something. Then, as if remembering something else, he looked at the Fool and said:
"Mr. Fool, what should I pay for this?"
Zhou Mingrui, the Fool, chuckled and said, "I'm very interested in the historical materials collected in Silver City; I'll use them to pay for it!"
Little Sun Derrick paused for a moment, somewhat surprised, but mostly incredulous.
He hadn't expected Mr. Fool to ask for such a light price; he had been prepared to offer up his own soul.
Mr. Fool, you are indeed a good god!
Without a doubt, at this moment, Derrick Berg, who originally believed in the sun god, had his inner faith shift.
After the little sun's interlude, the atmosphere at the Tarot meeting became noticeably more relaxed. After all, Mr. Fool had proven through his actions that he was not a cruel god, but rather very tolerant.
As for the unfortunate hermit lady at the beginning, she could only blame herself for looking at things carelessly.
