I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 718 Restrained Contact!

On the other side, after finishing his prayers, Chu Yang couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

"Mr. Klein should discover something soon enough."

"But he'll probably be startled again at that time."

"But it's nothing, he was often scared half to death when he was weak in the early stages."

"After all, Klein is still developing at this time. When he changes his name to Sherlock later, we can't do it like this."

"Later on, this Mr. Klein will have a third name, at which point I'll have to be even more careful."

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but chuckle.

Most people would feel very apprehensive when they first encounter Tarot, but he was different.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​all the reasons behind Mr. Klein's and the members of the Tarot Club's confidence.

Therefore, he can remain calm and composed no matter what unexpected event he faces.

In the following period, Chu Yang began to slowly develop the combination of his training abilities and the Pure White Eyes.

Moreover, the design of this prayer made him realize how terrifyingly high the status of the Pure White Eyes was.

That unknown land was even more daunting.

However, this also became his greatest asset in making a living in this world.

Soon it was noon again, and Chu Yang met with Miss Xiu once more. After lunch, they both returned to their cabins.

It's unclear what Miss Hugh was busy with all morning.

He also did not say what information he had received from the captain.

Chu Yang picked up an ancient book and began to slowly absorb the knowledge within, allowing his magic potion to gradually digest.

On the other side, Klein, increasingly suspicious, re-entered the Gray Mist Lands and quickly discovered something amiss.

He discovered a dazzling red star in the gray fog.

And that star became increasingly dazzling, increasingly impossible to ignore.

He could even hear fragmented words in them, words that were entirely composed of Fergus's secret language.

This made Klein much more relaxed.

He started picking out one or two words from them and taking them to the library to find out their meanings.

As a result, he did not find any classical texts that could resolve these words.

"Who on earth is playing tricks on me? Are they really trying to scare me half to death before they're done?"

Klein took a deep breath and went to the restroom again.

After sealing off the surrounding space with a spiritual wall, he once again skillfully stepped into the world of gray fog.

He saw that star once again, even more dazzling than before.

"Does that mean I had to make the first contact? I think I was the one who made the first contact when I first saw the Hanged Man."

So Klein took a deep breath and, forcing himself to muster his courage, began to make contact with the dazzling red star not far away.

"If it's a newcomer, I just hope they don't have too much of a background, otherwise I'm not sure I can handle them."

Klein's spiritual connection with the red process was quick, and a slightly blurry image appeared in his mind.

In the scene, a handsome young man is holding an ancient book on a table and reading it. He is also holding a very expensive-looking fountain pen in his hand.

It's clear that this young man is of high status, as he is dressed very appropriately.

However, the decorations around the room looked rather simple.

After careful observation, Klein realized that it might be a guest room.

In addition, the image was somewhat blurry, and Chu Yang was still wearing a hat, so it was difficult to pinpoint Chu Yang's appearance. It could only vaguely sense that the young man was quite handsome.

Clay strained to see what was happening, but all he could hear were fragmented words as the young man kept muttering something.

"Judging from these words, he probably wasn't praying to me. So what exactly touched my spirit?"

"According to the principle I set beforehand, I cannot pull the other person into this space unless they pray. What should I do now?"

Klein was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

However, in order to quickly strengthen his Tarot Association and expand his power, he decided to take the first step.

Let's pull this young man into the gray fog space first, and then see what he wants.

"I awakened him with the air of a supreme deity and pulled him into this space. Even if he is unwilling, he should not dare to lay a hand on me or disobey me."

"Moreover, given his status, he should be able to bring more intelligence, so this risk is worth taking."

Klein quickly made up his mind, but before he did, he used the crystal pendant around his neck to perform one last divination for himself.

"Would contact with this young man pose a fatal danger to me?"

The divination went smoothly, and there was no danger involved, so Klein immediately used his greatest spirituality to contact the red star.

After Chu Yang finished reading the thin ancient book, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a red light appear in front of his fountain pen.

Although he had anticipated this scene, his heart still began to beat faster.

To avoid being influenced by the unknown, he quickly equipped himself with the absolutely calm mind that the sequence possessed.

Under these circumstances, even though Klein possessed supreme authority within the gray fog space, he was unable to observe his own thoughts through spirituality.

After all, if Klein found out that everything he had done was premeditated, then things would be really serious.

Of course, all of this may be revealed in the future, but certainly not now.

What he needs to do most now is to pretend to be an ordinary extraordinary person who hasn't discovered anything.

Besides the fact that he was under the watchful gaze of the god of knowledge and wisdom, the more crucial reason was that Klein was under the watchful gaze of even more deities.

Revealing some knowledge during Tarot card transactions is acceptable, but exposing one's own background is absolutely unacceptable.

Because he and Klein actually share the same origin, he would pose a harmless threat to himself.

If there truly is a god who wants to replace Klein's body and live in this world, then replacing him is not impossible.

While Chu Yang was lost in thought, the red light had completely engulfed his body.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself in the long-awaited land of gray fog.

The first thing that catches the eye is an ancient hall with a long bronze table inside.

At the very top of the table, opposite the author's figure, shrouded in black mist.

This person should be Clay's manifestation in the gray fog.

The surrounding area is dotted with red, gray, and black spots.

All of this makes this place seem extremely mysterious.

Upon arriving here, Chu Yang displayed the appropriate vigilance and caution, carefully observing everything around him, and his gaze quickly locked onto Klein directly in front of him.

If he hadn't been prepared, he would have been extremely excited, after all, he had met his idol.

It also revealed one of the possibilities of escaping this world.

But under the influence of absolute calm, all these chaotic emotions were suppressed deep inside.

Soon, he discovered that the Pure White Eyes were already taking effect, silently suppressing the leakage of all his aura.

It was as if they were trying to prevent the air here from polluting their bodies.

"Could it be that what lies above the gray fog holds many unknown destructive and side effects, and that's why the Pure White Eyes are helping me avoid danger?"

This discovery gave Chu Yang even more confidence.

Gradually, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he could suddenly think about the parts of the knowledge about gods that had been blocked before, but it was probably limited to this gray fog space.

As for whether those outside can recall this knowledge, we'll have to wait until they go outside to find out.

"This is really interesting. It turns out that Miss Tris's employer, Mr. Durant, is someone mentioned several times in the original story."

"He did eventually uncover some of the secrets of that valley and made contact with one of the gods."

"It seems his trip is more dangerous and complicated than I imagined."

Chu Yang quickly put that idea out of his mind and began to consider how to make a more appropriate contact with Klein in front of him.

Klein remained silent, also observing Chu Yang before him.

Because he discovered that after being brought to this unknown place, the young man in front of him was not as extremely flustered as other newcomers.

When he used his spiritual abilities to observe Chu Yang's thoughts, he found that Chu Yang's thoughts were a deep, calm blue.

"Could it be that this young man, despite his extraordinary status, has experienced a great deal and may even possess exceptional insight? Otherwise, how could he maintain such composure?"

Klein's expectations for Chu Yang grew unconsciously.

The addition of such newcomers to the Tarot Club means that its members can obtain more unknown information.

"The only tricky thing is that this guy's true strength might be much greater than mine."

He originally wanted to remind the newcomers, as is customary, not to casually reveal mysterious knowledge, otherwise they might encounter some unknown actions.

But the strong should know such rules, so Klein decided to remain silent and never remind them of this.

After all, if he were exposed, who knows if such a powerful person could follow the clues to find his true body and kill him directly.

As for some information he's been eager to learn lately, he'll wait until the other person voluntarily joins the Tarot Club before subtly probing, or asking other newcomers.

Perhaps because his thoughts had changed, not long afterward, Chu Yang heard a very low chuckle from the direction of the top.

"You may call me Mr. Fool; I heard you reciting my name, so I brought you here."

Klein's voice was very deep, sounding like a polite greeting, but it was clearly the work of a true strategist.

"This kid is really good at pretending. If I called him Zhou Ruimin, would he break down on the spot?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but have some wicked fantasies, but he quickly suppressed them.

"Respected Fool, you must be a deity. I have just arrived here and am a little flustered. Please forgive my rudeness earlier."

Chu Yang deliberately feigned an even more helpless expression.

Although he knew that Klein could see through his true thoughts, he still had to pretend.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of choice the extremely cautious Klein would make?

Moreover, there are very few people in this world who do not know how to respect deities.

"To assume I'm a god simply because you've heard my name? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

"Or does the word 'fool' have a special meaning in this world?"

"But if that's the case, why didn't the first two react?"

Despite his deep confusion, Klein still smiled and said:

"It's clear you have a particular understanding of the word 'fool'?"

Chu Yang immediately took two steps back in a panic.

"Respected Mr. Fool, I was unaware that the sequence of diviners had already been established, and that a supreme deity like yourself would have inadvertently uttered the words 'Fool'."

Klein was immediately overwhelmed with shock.

"So, the Fool is the highest-ranking extraordinary being in the diviner hierarchy?"

"Or is there some other connection between the two?"

"Does 'supreme' refer to Sequence One, Sequence Two, or perhaps an even higher level?"

Klein wished he could take off his mask and ask Chu Yang all the questions.

However, this would expose his true identity, so he ultimately forced himself to endure it through sheer willpower.

"Ignorance is no excuse. I am not the kind of person who would take my anger out on others at will."

Klein waved his hand dismissively, feigning magnanimity.

"Thank you for your forgiveness."

Chu Yang bowed again, feigning gratitude.

So far, the initial stages of contact between the two parties have been very appropriate; the remaining issue is how to smoothly integrate them into the Tarot Club.

So he looked around at the seats and immediately asked with some curiosity:

"Mr. Fool, you have so many chairs here, do other people come here often?"

Klein was also a little excited. He was worried about how to trick Chu Yang into joining the Tarot Club.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity was right in front of us.

"Indeed, there are several people whose strength is similar to yours who have been invited here by me because they have recited my name."

"As per their request, I have decided to hold regular meetings here, where we can exchange information or goods."

"I could even ask them for help, and I'd be happy to do that."

Klein tried his best to be very approachable. (End of Chapter)
