Humanity has won.
This is undoubtedly the most correct answer.
Furthermore, the claims about the three gods, Feng Zhi and Bai, cannot be dismissed as false advertising; they did indeed lead humanity in challenges against dragons and giants.
They merely took away some of the "glory" of the omniscient and omnipotent one.
The proud sun and the arrogant tyrant have never made any such propaganda; this is merely the individual behavior of their followers.
It's a misinterpretation, we all know that, we're just too lazy to explain it to the world.
This tarot session has come to an end.
The real world.
West End, 49 West Vellas Street.
Chael's suspicions about the assassination of the ambassador may help the hermits process their thoughts.
"If it's at night, in the shadows, it might be somewhat helpful."
Having been temporarily dismissed from his post by the Church of the Night, Xia'er had some free time and began to enjoy the leisurely life of a noble youth.
He went to Maynard Villa in Queens, found Mrs. Maynard, and asked for money, directly asking for a small sum.
"1000 gold pounds?"
Mrs. Maynard's expression remained relatively calm; receiving an advance on pocket money was perfectly acceptable to her.
"Ten thousand gold pounds."
Chael shook his head firmly, then reached out again; it felt pretty good.
He hadn't experienced such a righteous and assertive demand for money in a long time.
"A list of ten thousand?"
Mrs. Maynard was surprised, because even for Audrey, ten thousand pounds was a considerable amount of pocket money under normal circumstances.
The Maynard family is still somewhat inferior to the Hall family.
"What do you need so much money for?"
If Chael hadn't worked for the Church of the Night, Mrs. Maynard would have suspected that she had gotten involved with something unclean.
"I want to invest, I want to start a business, I want to build a factory!"
Xia'er's eyes were full of confidence. He felt that he was capable and would definitely not lose money. If he really did lose money, don't blame him for giving him a piece of his mind.
"What kind of factory do you want to open?"
Looking at her son's confident demeanor, Mrs. Maynard couldn't help but feel that the money was going to be wasted.
"The atmospheric environment in Backlund is terrible."
"I want to open a mask manufacturing plant."
Chaer revealed his long-prepared idea.
"Your idea is very good."
"But have you thought about who you're going to sell the masks you produce?"
Mrs. Maynard, not wanting to dampen her child's enthusiasm, could only speak tactfully.
"Of course I've thought about it. There are many heavily polluting factories in Backlund, and the safety of these workers is not guaranteed."
"I think the owners of these factories have an obligation to purchase a batch of basic masks for these workers."
After reviewing the situation, Xia Er felt there were no problems. He would build the factory first, while Edsack would launch a major offensive.
Then, he was able to take advantage of the policy benefits.
Why would you think that?
Mrs. Maynard smiled at first, then realized her mistake and changed her words, saying, "I understand your idea. I will inquire within Backlund's circles, and if it is suitable, I will agree to it."
She wasn't really optimistic about this, because she herself came from the New Party and knew the temperament of these New Party nobles very well. Instead of hoping they would increase labor costs, she hoped that the god of steam and machinery would make these steam-powered creations move on their own and directly liberate all mankind.
"That works too."
Xia Er didn't dwell on it. The money would come sooner or later. It was unacceptable to have money to host various banquets but not to support his investment and entrepreneurship.
"Shouldn't you be working at church at this time?"
Mrs. Maynard asked curiously.
She was quite clear about the working hours of clergy.
"I'm on vacation."
"Although the work in the church is very good, if you are focused on helping the believers of the goddess, you may easily accumulate some pressure for promotion."
Xia Er said directly that he had indeed accumulated some mental stress, such as the guilt of lying.
"Since you're taking a break, then take a good rest."
"You can also attend some aristocratic banquets and communicate more with your peers."
Mrs. Maynard couldn't tell that Chael was under pressure, but she still encouraged Chael to participate in more high-society gatherings.
Staying informed about real-time events will benefit his development.
"Have you received any invitations to banquets recently?"
"I asked with a smile," said Xia Er.
Mrs. Maynard smiled and began to introduce everyone to Chael.
What Xia'er cared about were, of course, the banquet invitations related to the "assassination" target, among which the invitation to Countess Galya's ball was particularly noteworthy. This lady's ball would invite ambassadors from various countries to Ruen.
This naturally includes the Kingdom of Intis's ambassador to Ruen, Beckeran Jean Madan.
Xia'er plans to take a vacation while carrying out the Fool's assassination plan.
Klein was also somewhat afraid, mainly because he feared that before the Tarot Society members could assassinate Beckron, Beckron would send someone else to assassinate him.
Although Klein had great faith in "Angel's" professional abilities, after spending so much time together, he also knew that "Angel's" efficiency was not something to be expected.
Last Friday, Klein tried to hire an extraordinary bodyguard at the Brave Ones Bar, but was refused.
When the other party heard that this matter might involve someone with state backing, they immediately refused to participate.
Even so, Klein still felt uneasy without a bodyguard, which directly affected his mindset when carrying out the task of catching adulterers.
Although he ultimately succeeded in gathering evidence of the gentleman's infidelity through his extraordinary abilities,
When Klein returned to the "Backlund General Affairs Company" on Minsk Street to submit his mission, something suddenly occurred to him. He asked the familiar receptionist:
"Does the integrated services company also handle some security-related work?"
"Of course, Mr. Moriarty, our reputation in this area is equally solid."
The receptionist patiently explained.
Klein knew, of course, that the integrated services company had security services, which was one of their core businesses.
However, his matter involves extraordinary individuals.
Klein still suspected that the security company might have originated from a criminal organization.
A small gang is nothing to worry about.
If Meursault, the executioner of the Zmánger Party, could implicate an ambassador of Intis, then could a gang that was more successful than the Zmánger Party be the same?
If so, it might be able to restrain Intis's ambassador to some extent, causing the other party to postpone their attack on them.
Even if he was wrong, the "Hui Li Party" should still have its own extraordinary members. At the very least, they should ask about the employment rates and try to find out.
"Madam, I'd like to inquire about more private and professional security services."
Klein lowered his voice and tilted his head slightly as he spoke.
