Indeed, it was the Bible of The Fool.
Since the faith in Mr. Fool had already spread throughout Silver City, even though Lynn did not force the residents of Silver City to change their beliefs, passing down the Bible of The Fool was naturally an essential part of the process.
However, it wasn't actually Lynn who proactively distributed the book. It was Colin Iliad, the chief of Silver City, who requested it from Lynn after handling matters from the outside world.
Lynn simply handed over his copy of the Bible of The Fool to him.
As for whether Little Sun, Derrick, had read that Bible of The Fool, Lynn thought that with Little Sun's level of devotion, he probably had.
"Recite the Fool's Bible?" Derrick was momentarily stunned. Although he found the request from the Angel of Secrets a bit sudden, he didn't see anything wrong with it. He immediately pulled out a scroll of parchment from his pocket and began reciting in a chanting tone:
"My Lord calls Himself The Fool, Across past, present, and future, The Fool reigns supreme over the Spirit World. He is also the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck. He is a beacon for all in the pursuit of eternity."
"He is compassionate, benevolent, and the savior of this world. He allows people to address him as "him" instead of "Him"."
"He resides above both reality and the Spirit World. His benevolence extends to Heaven and the land. Beside him stand eight angels..."
As a Beyonder of the Bard pathway, Little Sun Derrick recited the Fool's Bible with great passion, filled with both skill and emotion.
But as he recited, Little Sun Derrick suddenly saw the Angel of Secrets laughing heartily in front of him, causing him to pause in confusion. "Uh, Your Highness..."
"Continue, don't mind me," Lynn waved his hand, his indifferent state clearly improved from before, indicating that his humanity had been greatly stimulated.
And like him, someone else whose humanity had been greatly stimulated was a certain Mr. Fool, who was watching the live broadcast above the Gray Fog.
'Why do I even care about that guy?!' Klein internally screamed like a prairie dog. He was, of course, aware of the Bible of The Fool. In fact, after the angel acquaintance had finished writing the book, they had given him a sample copy first.
But that thing made Klein feel incredibly embarrassed from the very first sentence on the first page. So, our great Mr. Fool only glanced at it briefly, flipped through to confirm there were no major issues, and then tossed it into a pile of miscellaneous items, planning to read it thoroughly once his emotions calmed down after a few days.
—This was not surprising. In the original work, Mr. Fool did the same thing, which is why he didn't realize at first that Silver City had mistakenly thought Amon was an angel serving Him, leading to him being tricked later on.
It can only be said that Mr. Fool's skin was still not thick enough, and his mind had not been fully tempered.
But in another sense, isn't this also a sign of abundant humanity?
Of course, if possible, Mr. Fool would rather not have this humanity.
However, Klein was someone who had been tempered by Lynn, so he quickly regained his composure, even taking the Bible of The Fool that he had tossed aside and began to peruse its contents.
Through Derrick's recitation, Mr. Fool Klein also noticed something: among the shame-inducing content of the book, there seemed to be a lot of hidden information.
"The Fool reigns supreme over the Spirit World.... A beacon for all in the pursuit of eternity.…" Klein pondered over these phrases, then looked at the descriptions of the angels.
In the Fool's Bible composed by Lynn, eight angels were described in total: the Angel of Secrets, the Angel of War, the Angel of Mercury, the Angel of Death, the Angel of Redemption, the Angel of Life, the Angel of Retribution, and the Angel of Time.
The Angel of Secrets and the Angel of War needed no explanation, and the Angel of Death clearly referred to Mr. Azik. The Angel of Mercury might be the other Snake of Mercury, Will?
But Klein was unsure about the Angel of Redemption, the Angel of Life, and the Angel of Retribution. He could only guess that they might be people he would encounter in the future.
But is the Angel of Time for real?
Klein slowly typed a question mark in his mind. However, after carefully reading the passage about the Angel of Time, he noticed a problem: "The Angel of Time was an angel of ancient times, the most benevolent Trojan horse… This description doesn't seem to refer to Amon… Could it be some other angel of the Thief pathway?"
Klein thought he might ask about this later, although given his understanding of the Angel of secrets, the other party might not answer.
But… "Existing simultaneously in different eras…" Klein seemed to recall something and sighed, looking somewhat dazed.
"So, this place really is…"
…
'Mr. Fool has probably finally decided to read the Fool's Bible I compiled for him seriously…' Inside Silver City, with Little Sun reciting beside him, the increasingly human Lynn murmured inwardly.
When he compiled the Bible of The Fool, apart from some mischief, he did have the intention to reveal some future events. After all, he had already revealed quite a lot, so adding a bit more wouldn't hurt. And knowledge such as "The Fool reigns supreme over the Spirit World." wouldn't pose any danger to Klein.
The truly dangerous knowledge was that related to the Outer Gods. Knowledge purely related to Sequence 0 wasn't as hazardous. Otherwise, in the original work, Klein wouldn't have taught Cattleya about Godhood as a reward, even though she hadn't reached the angel level.
And after Little Sun Derrick finally recited the most interesting part of the Fool's Bible, and Lynn could no longer sense Mr. Fool's attention, he looked at Little Sun Derrick with a smile and said, "That's enough for reciting the Fool's Bible. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving temporarily. I'll return soon."
"Understood, Your Highness." Little Sun Derrick obediently nodded, showing no intention of asking where Lynn was going.
But just because he didn't ask didn't mean the nearby Medici wouldn't. The latter crossed his arms and, with his usual sarcastic tone, asked, "Are you going alone?"
"I have to go alone," Lynn glanced at him, then smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm just going to meet an old friend. There won't be any trouble."
Then he suddenly changed his tone, as if feeling a bit disgusted, "But if you come with me, I might have to take care of you, which would just slow me down!"
"Tch!" Medici sneered, unamused but surprisingly didn't retort or mock him further. He only said, "If you don't come back tomorrow, I won't help you take care of this bunch of kids."
"Don't worry, I wasn't counting on you for that… But I think you might want to give it a try, considering you might be somewhat skilled in this area?" Lynn said with a smile, and without paying attention to the enraged Medici, he looked towards the direction of the Giant King's Court.
That place was originally the last place he wanted to visit. Now, he still didn't want to go, but he was preparing to see an "old friend" there anyway.
After all… even the little trace of power there was a significant threat!
