Hobert felt that the Storm Church must also know that the "Creator" and the "Abomination" had also taken action in this battle. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be stingy with generous rewards.
Although the other members didn't know what "Abomination" represented, since it was related to "God," the level couldn't be low.
Klein and Alger even speculated whether there had been a battle at the Angel level in this fight?
Audrey simply asked, "Mr. Emperor, what does 'Abomination' mean? And also, what kind of organization is the 'Rose School'?"
Klein felt that one day, he would send Miss Justice a pure gold thumbs-up! To express his feelings at such moments. Miss Justice can always ask the questions he wants to ask when it's inconvenient for him to ask.
Although he had a good relationship with "Miss Bodyguard," Sharon had only revealed some information about the "Rose School" to him and hadn't talked about the "Abomination," so he also wanted to know, what is "Abomination"?
In order to unify the front, Hobert didn't hesitate to announce the relevant information about the "Rose School" to everyone: "This is a mysterious organization formed by the 'Prisoner' pathway, mainly active in the Southern Continent.
"The Beyonders of this pathway are good at curses and possession, but they themselves are also cursed and must endure great pain.
"For example, Sequence 7 of this pathway is called 'Werewolf.' They are like being cursed in some way, turning into werewolves during the full moon, completely losing their minds, and killing everyone around them, including their closest relatives.
"Initially, the main purpose of the 'Rose School' was to keep its members sufficiently restrained, resisting the pain and curses brought by the potion with firm will.
"But later, a great change occurred in the 'Rose School.' Members no longer maintained restraint but indulged in the madness and desires of their hearts, harming innocent people without any scruples, creating various bloody tragedies. It is an evil organization that all orthodox churches are trying their best to crack down on."
Klein behind the gray fog: This is consistent with Miss Sharon's description.
Alger: I didn't expect the "Rose School" to have a relatively restrained past.
Audrey: Sure enough, Mr. Fool's allies are also constantly cracking down on these evil organizations.
After hearing Hobert say that the "Rose School" was an evil organization, she had already classified the "Creator" as an ally of Mr. Fool.
Hobert added, "'Abomination' is the leader of the 'Rose School,' a Sequence 1."
Klein guessed: The "Creator" may be a "King of Angels," at least at the Sequence 1 level. But not a god, if it were a god and in good condition, he would never have heard of Him before.
Alger asked in surprise, "In this battle, did a battle of the Angel level, no, the God level, occur?"
Audrey and Fors also became surprised. Since entering the Fifth Epoch, there have been no records of divine warfare. Even battles at the Angel level, they have never heard of.
Hobert said, "In this battle, the 'Creator' and the 'Rose School' each sent two Angels, each sent three Saints, and both sides sent a total of nearly 200 'Mid Sequence' participants."
As long as the Storm Church knows the information of the "Creator," they will know all this information on the surface. It doesn't matter to tell Alger.
At this time, everyone was shocked by the strength of the "Creator!"
Klein: Can't compare, can't compare.
Alger: The scale and height of this battle have completely exceeded my imagination. Such strength should be comparable to established mysterious organizations like the 'Demoness Sect'! With two Angels, they even have the confidence to challenge the orthodox churches. It's just that the Saints and 'Mid Sequence' Beyonders still have obvious gaps compared to the orthodox churches. And before this, I had never heard any news about the 'Creator'!
Audrey: Although I don't know what such strength represents, it sounds very powerful. I wonder if the Angel serving the "Creator" knows the Angel serving Mr. Fool?
Fors: It sounds very powerful. I have never seen a battle involving so many Beyonders.
Derrick: That's great, City of Silver doesn't have the protection of Angels.
Hobert continued to Alger: "Of course, you only need to make a rough report, and the details can be blurred as much as possible. Re-package the channels to obtain information. I will give you one-tenth of the reward obtained from your church."
Alger already had an idea. He planned to wait until Wednesday or Thursday, after this matter further fermented, and after the relevant information became more familiar, he would falsely claim that he learned this information from a Feysac person.
He had inadvertently learned before that General Anton was a puppet controlled by the Feysac people. The other crew members did not know this information, which could be used here.
Audrey asked again, "Mr. Emperor, what was the result of this battle?"
Hobert smiled and said, "The 'Creator' won. I believe the 'Rose School' will be honest for a long time."
Then he said seriously, "But the followers of the 'Creator' also suffered considerable losses!"
"Please allow me to express my respect to them!" Audrey said, "They sacrificed for justice, very glorious!"
Alger was pondering: This may also be a struggle between gods, or the "Creator" may be expanding his sphere of influence. It seems that the situation in the Southern Continent will undergo a major change.
"Thank you." Hobert added, "If you encounter people from the 'Rose School,' as long as you determine that they are not members of the temperance faction, you must be careful! They must be criminals with blood on their hands, and there is a high probability that they are lunatics!"
This is the last step in unifying the front. Hobert estimated that even if everyone had never seen members of the "Rose School," they would have hostility towards the "Rose School" under his constant emphasis.
Now that the Balk family has taken refuge in the "Creator," he certainly wants to find allies to deal with the "Rose School" in the future.
Hobert asked Alger: "Have the major orthodox churches already learned about this battle? What is their reaction?"
There is no airtight wall in the world. Hobert's pathway is destined to launch some well-known battles or events. It is impossible to develop in a low-key manner like the "Fool."
However, Hobert doesn't have enemies as difficult as Amon. So far, besides George III, Hobert can't think of any other direct enemies of the "Creator."
In order for George III to become a god, there is not even a Sequence 1 in the "Black Emperor" pathway.
There are only two Sequence 1s in the adjacent pathways, "Hundred Eyed Demon Monarch" and "Holy Infant King," which are enough to protect the followers of the "Creator."
Alger replied, "Yes, I believe that the orthodox churches have already learned about this battle through their respective secret channels, especially with the Angel-level battle, the major churches must be very concerned about this matter.
"However, now the Storm Church and the Evernight Goddess Church are just watching, after all, the 'Creator' is cracking down on heretical organizations, and His main ruling area is not in the main dioceses of the orthodox churches.
"I don't know what the reaction of the other churches is yet."
Hobert nodded: "I know."
The reaction was similar to what he had imagined.
After this topic came to an end, Audrey suddenly said, "Mr. Fool, I have a question to ask Mr. Emperor. I request a private conversation with him."
Klein was stunned: What secrets are you two going to share again?
Hobert was also a little strange. What did Audrey want to talk to him about?
After the two established a separate communication space, Audrey asked, "Have you encountered any troubles recently?"
Hobert was stunned: "What?"
"At the beginning of the gathering, I found that something seemed to be troubling you."
Hobert smiled. Even if he adjusted his emotions and was relatively restrained after the gathering started, Audrey still noticed.
"Indeed, I have encountered troubles." Hobert smiled and said, "Lack of money!"
Klein behind the gray fog: This is also my trouble.
Audrey was stunned: "How much do you lack?"
"200,000 pounds!"
Audrey almost couldn't maintain her "Spectator" state: "2-200,000 pounds? You, why do you need so much money?"
If there were such a fortune, it would be enough to be among the top social circles of Backlund. If there were a certain amount of influence, it would not be impossible to become a member of the Lower House.
Klein: Fortunately, I have the Clown's abilities, otherwise the "Fool" would have lost his composure! 200,000 pounds! Did your whole family get scammed to Myanmar?
If the construction project of the territory only costs 100,000 gold pounds, Hobert has the confidence to raise it, after all, he has accumulated so many Beyonder characteristics.
Just selling the Beyonder characteristics of the "Hunter" and "Lawyer" pathways in his hand can basically raise this money.
As for 300,000 gold pounds, even if he took out the Beyonder characteristics in his own body, it would be difficult to raise this money.
Of course, if he were willing to sell those Sealed Artifacts and the Beyonder characteristics of the "Prisoner" pathway demigods and above, this money could be easily raised, but Hobert would rather have a stalled project than let those Beyonder characteristics flow back into the hands of the "Rose School." This is a strategic issue.
Hobert smiled and said, "I am doing something that requires a lot of money."
Audrey considered for a moment before saying, "I can lend you 10,000 pounds a week or two after the New Year."
Hobert shook his head: "I'll go find some investment first."
If not, he will borrow from Christian. His savings over the years should be considerable.
Even if he doesn't borrow from Christian, it is not difficult for him to come forward and help raise some funds. Among the arms dealers, there are many wealthy people.
Hobert wondered to himself: I wonder if they're still willing to marry their daughter to me?
Audrey said "Oh" and then asked, "Is General Christian's treason related to the 'Creator'?"
Hearing Audrey say this, Klein realized this issue: Could this be the 'Creator's' scheme in the Northern Continent?
However, Hobert immediately denied Audrey's guess: "I am the only one in my family who is a favored of the 'Creator,' and my family doesn't know this."
He smiled and said, "Or rather, there aren't many favored of the 'Creator' in the Northern Continent."
Before yesterday, there weren't many favored of the "Creator" in the whole world.
Audrey felt much better: Maybe his identity as a favored of the "Creator" needs to be kept secret, and he can't even tell his family, and of course, he can't tell us, his good friends.
She smiled and said, "Hobert, I'm already Sequence 8, and I should be able to reach Sequence 7 soon."
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Hobert smiled and said, "I've just advanced too, and I'm already Sequence 5!"
Audrey's smile disappeared: "Hobert, you're not a gentleman at all."
Klein smiled: Serves you right for being single!
But then he thought about it and felt that Hobert's answer was a high EQ response; only friends who weren't very close would blindly flatter.
Finally, Klein realized: He's Sequence 5, how come I can't tell at all?
He opened his Spirit Vision and saw that Hobert's spiritual body seemed more solid inside, as if it contained the power of order and rules, yet it was full of dissonance and chaos, looking very contradictory.
Klein thought: Is this Sequence 5? Although there hasn't been a qualitative change, he can already conceal the internal structure of his spiritual body.
After Audrey and Hobert finished communicating, they entered the final information exchange session.
At the end of the exchange session, "The World" said in a hoarse voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, some news I've received recently indicates that a major event is brewing in Backlund, which will bring extremely unstable factors, and perhaps a tragedy will occur."
Audrey asked with concern, "What major event is it?"
"I don't know the specifics." Then "The World" raised his head and sincerely looked at "The Fool" across the long bronze table: "Your favored in Backlund, Honorable Mr. Fool, should also have noticed something, right?"
Everyone's eyes focused on the head of the long bronze table, and Hobert also looked towards the head: Are they playing a duet again?
"The Fool" Klein leaned back slightly under everyone's gaze and said in a calm tone, "Edessak Augustus."
Audrey: Edessak? Will he be in danger? Or will he cause some danger?
Fors: Augustus? Is this a prince? The king has already lost one son, could his other son also be in danger?
Hobert smiled: I knew it, how could an ordinary person resist in front of a Witch?
Everyone discussed this topic briefly for a few more sentences, and this week's Tarot Gathering ended.
...
Backlund, Empress Borough, inside Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey stood in front of the full-length mirror, staring blankly at herself in the mirror: Hobert is already Sequence 5, so fast!
Then she thought again: Edessak... could it be that something will happen to the royal family?
She drew a scarlet moon on the figure in the mirror, trying to make herself optimistic, and prepared to inquire about news from her parents and brother at dinner in the best condition.
She restrained her emotions, sat in front of the piano, and casually played music, using beautiful melodies to cleanse her soul.
After playing for a while, she found that the golden retriever Susie had opened the door and came in at some point, sitting next to her.
"Audrey, what problem have you encountered? Your piano music tells me that you have something bothering you," Susie suddenly said.
Audrey was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
