"Does anyone know anything about this War Angel?"
As Klein spoke, he also paid attention to Lynn's expression, observing if there were any memories or realizations regarding this matter.
Soon, Klein noticed that the casual, relaxed look on Lynn's face disappeared. Lynn's brows furrowed deeply, displaying a mix of confusion and puzzlement.
Perhaps Lynn could indeed recall something. He had previously remembered that he had a brother. Why did Lynn call the War Angel 'Little Red'...? Klein couldn't help but ponder. Although it seemed like a purely whimsical nickname, Klein's intuition told him there might be more to it.
'Mr. World actually encountered something related to the King of Angels? The War Angel Medici... What kind of angel would that be? He sounds formidable. I wonder what the other Kings of Angels are called and what titles they bear...'
Miss Justice was naturally unaware of what the esteemed Fool was contemplating. She was simply letting her mind wander, always curious about mysterious knowledge. At this moment, she was brimming with curiosity about the so-called eight Kings of Angels, the closest to the divine throne.
The Hanged Man was somewhat startled. He, of course, wanted to know knowledge related to the Kings of Angels, but he was more concerned about the World.
Even though the World only mentioned encountering something related to the War Angel, it didn't necessarily mean he had direct contact with the War Angel. But it still indicated the World was extraordinary.
And as everyone knew, the Hanged Man was ambitious. He always aimed to solidify his position in the Tarot Club, showcasing his value. He didn't want to become a marginal member of the Tarot Club and then be discarded — though the fear of being discarded was entirely Alger's imagination. Thus, in such a situation, his previously slight sense of crisis intensified.
The recently joined members of the Tarot Club, whether the Pope or the World, were clearly not like Justice or Little Sun, who were novices in the Beyonder field. Instead, they were seasoned Beyonders, possibly even higher in sequence than him.
Indeed, the more experienced Beyonders in the Tarot Club, the more value the club could bring to Alger. Experienced Beyonders could provide more channels and resources.
However, Alger always remembered that the most important member of the Tarot Club was Mr. Fool. Therefore, he naturally didn't want too many experienced Beyonders to join, which might lower his significance.
But he wouldn't question Mr. Fool's decisions or harbor any ill will towards the Pope or the World. While ambitious and pragmatic, Alger wasn't a bad person.
Therefore, the only method he could think of in such a situation was to enhance his own value.
'Fortunately, neither the Pope nor the World seems to be on the sea. This is my unique advantage...' Alger exhaled inwardly and decided to share his upcoming participation in a grand pirate gathering to increase his stakes in the Tarot Club.
Individuals with unique characteristics are less likely to be abandoned.
Compared to Justice Audrey and the Hanged Man Alger, Little Sun Derrick's thoughts were much simpler. He affirmed his previous assumption that Mr. World already knew the information he had mentioned. He then said,
"I don't know anything about the War Angel. However, if you need, Mr. World, I can go back and check the books. Maybe I'll find something."
As a Beyonder on The Sun pathway, Derrick had received basic education in Silver City, understood various Beyonder knowledge, and had read some books. But he couldn't possibly know everything like a Mystery Pryer or a Savant. Thus, he wasn't sure if there were any records in Silver City regarding this matter.
"If you can find relevant information, I will give you a satisfactory reward," Klein controlled the World to respond. After a pause, he added, "Besides the War Angel, I also want you to look up information on another angel named the Angel of Secrets, closely related to the War Angel."
The World then glanced at the other Tarot Club members and continued, "If any of you have relevant information, you can also tell me. I will pay you as well."
Klein had reasons for issuing this commission. If Silver City indeed had records about the War Angel, there might also be information about the Angel of Secrets.
As for commissioning other members of the Tarot Club, it was to cast a wide net. Whether it was Miss Justice or the Hanged Man, they had their own circles and might find something.
However, to Klein's surprise, the first to speak after his request wasn't someone else but Lynn, who had just been deep in thought.
With a slightly dazed expression and a voice filled with doubt and probing, Lynn said, "If the War Angel Medici you mentioned refers to the War Angel of the First Solomon Empire... as far as I know, He has already fallen."
After speaking, Lynn seemed to wake up suddenly. He pursed his lips and, after two seconds, added, "But He might still be alive. I don't know. I only know He had fallen once."
Hearing this, almost everyone looked at Lynn in astonishment. Because of someone's earnest performance, even the Fool, who had been watching Lynn closely, and the Spectator Miss Justice, noticed something was wrong with Lynn. Even the usually slow and naive Sun Derrick sensed the Pope's odd behavior.
"Mr. Pope, are you alright?" Derrick asked, simply concerned seeing Lynn's seemingly unwell state.
Miss Justice Audrey, though silent, also looked at Lynn with a slightly worried and caring gaze.
As a Spectator, she clearly saw that Mr. Pope seemed a bit lost and somewhat sad, which made Miss Justice immediately certain of one thing — Mr. Pope might be related to the War Angel Medici.
Could Mr. Pope be a descendant of Medici? That didn't fully explain Mr. Pope's emotions... Miss Justice didn't understand. The Spectator pathway's abilities couldn't truly read minds, so she couldn't figure out what was going on.
But this didn't stop Miss Justice from genuinely caring about him. In her view, every member of the Tarot Club was her partner. She would be anxious for Little Sun Derrick in his crisis and would want to help other Tarot Club members when they encountered difficulties. Naturally, she also cared about the Pope.
