    Chapter 1040: Individual Impressions


    "Though outwardly quiet and reserved, he actually likes to joke and tease in his mind, and occasionally even rambles..."

    Madam Magician listened with inexplicable tension, thoughts instinctively flashing through her mind. Am I allowed to hear this? Should I be hearing this?

    If Gehrman Sparrow finds out I'm listening to what he's really like inside, that he's even somewhat lively, would he blow my head off with a gun?

    "Those are my impressions," Madam Justice concluded her recollections and summary.

    Madam Magician quietly let out a breath.

    After calming down, she thought carefully and felt that if Gehrman Sparrow was really as Miss Justice described, then probably, perhaps, he wouldn't use violent means to eliminate people who knew his true nature.

    Seeing that Madam Justice had said so much, Mr. Star. sitting next to Lumian, leaned back against his chair, as if trying to enter a relaxed state.

    In a rich timbre, he intoned, "He is a learned person, and this is reflected in more than just his being a university history graduate;

    "In supernatural events, he was very green at first, but quickly became skilled, becoming someone people could rely on;

    "He's not comfortable getting too close to others, always maintaining a certain distance, appearing as if he fears loss and doesn't want to gain anything, but in reality, he's someone who values relationships deeply, and inevitably relaxes over time, gradually integrating and carefully building friendships with others;

    "He's calm but not introverted, can take jokes and has a sense of humor, values life and is willing to enjoy it, but doesn't like waste;

    "He's cautious, perhaps due to the influence of the Seer pathway, completely deserving to be called very cautious. When encountering matters that aren't urgent and won't cause immediate harm, he chooses the most conservative response, leaving first or waiting for backup, but if a disaster is very pressing and will affect many people, even if he's not powerful enough himself, he's willing to step forward and try to resolve it despite the risks;

    "He deeply values his brother and sister, is more relaxed around them, and shows some of the personality traits Madam Justice just described;

    "He is the best brother, both younger and older, and also the best colleague..."

    After Mr. Star finished speaking, the majestic palace remained silent for quite a while, until all the Major Arcana card holders except Madam Magician turned their gaze toward her.

    Madam Magician cleared her throat and said, "My impressions of Gehrman Sparrow can be read in The Great Adventurer' novel series.

    "If I really have to summarize...

    This Angel of the Door pathway paused, her voice unconsciously becoming softer.

    "Cold, powerful, mysterious, and will kill people on the spot if they say one wrong word.

    "But, but very reliable-when you're with him, you only need to worry about whether he might eliminate you, there's no need to worry about anything else."

    You're closer to teasing than stating facts with that last part... I can clearly hear that you're somewhat afraid, yet you still insist on teasing both Gehrman Sparrow and yourself - is this the nature of writers? Well, from 'The Great Adventurer' series, it's clear that you respect, fear, and somewhat admire Gehrman Sparrow, yet you persistently write gossip about him. The Chariot Lumian, listening quietly, couldn't help but think to himself.

    After speaking quickly, Madam Magician turned her gaze to Mr. Hanged Man sitting diagonally across from her, meaning it was his turn.

    Mr. Hanged Man had already prepared his thoughts. "I haven't had much contact with any of Mr. Fool's identities, and some I haven't met at all, so I can only say briefly.
    "An experienced, very intelligent, and powerful adventurer.

    "His luck seems quite good too.

    "Not actually as cold and hard as his exterior suggests.

    "Willing to listen to others' opinions and respect their experience."

    After Mr. Hanged Man finished, Madam Justice, who appeared small compared to her chair, shared her understanding:

    "Most of my impressions of Gehrman Sparrow come from Madam Magician, so there's no need to repeat them.

    "I've had the most contact with the identity of Dwayne Dantes. He's a mature, cultured, wealthy gentleman, but very mysterious, with unusual things always happening around him.

    "He's said to be romantic, fond of beautiful women with different characteristics, but I haven't noticed him having any truly deep relationships with any women.

    "Well, he also has a kind heart, does charity work with genuine desire to help others, and treats his male and female servants not just with surface politeness, but actually without arrogance or hidden discrimination."

    This is also one side of Mr. Fool, especially certain details that really reflect his inner nature... Madam Justice carefully memorized what the other Major Arcana card holders were saying, to summarize and distill it later.

    Mr. Sun, tall and wearing a plain white robe, followed by saying, "Powerful but not arrogant, cold but not heartless.

    "He practices all that is righteous, he's willing to take great risks to help people who are actually of no use to him, he is light in the darkness, a guide walking ahead, an angel sheltering everyone."

    A more religious description, with more extreme and pure emotions... As expected of the Pope of the Church of The Fool and member of the New City of Silver's six-member council... Lumian could clearly hear some differences.

    Ma'am Hermit pushed up her glasses and said, "A very capable adventurer who can always respond most appropriately to unexpected situations.

    "He also yearns for something, he also gazes at the setting sun, and at such times, I can truly feel his loneliness-what he wants to grasp seems to be in a very distant, unreachable place.

    "Also, a mysterious, powerful, and reliable companion."

    The original Major Arcana card holders of the Tarot Club had finished speaking, leaving only the two new members.

    The Chariot Lumian, whose figure was blurred but still recognizably female, thought for a moment before calmly saying, "I've never had any real contact with any of Mr. Fool's identities in the real world, my impressions of them all come from the materials you provided. I can only speak from my interactions with Mr. Fool through certain dream images in the dream city."

    He was silent for a second before stating his first impression, "Guardian."

    Mr. Star, sitting beside him, suddenly spoke, as if sighing and supplementing, "A guardian fighting against threats and madness."

    Lumian nodded.

    He strongly agreed with this description, especially after learning that the Celestial Worthy`s spiritual imprint was indelible and eternal.

    This addition also resonated with the other Major Arcana card holders, and everyone fell into a new silence.

    After a brief moment, Lumian shared his other impressions, "Gentle, kind, elder brother, teacher, friend, a person with stories, a deity with humanity."

    After a pause, Lumian continued, "He values family and friends greatly, he probably very much wants to return to the era he truly belongs to, return to his homeland buried in history. He is lonely because of this, often sad and in pain, and only family and friends he acknowledges can help him find meaning in life.

    "On the one hand detachment, on the other a deeper appreciation for life experiences, willing to experience beauty…"

    As he spoke, Lumian stopped, because he felt that the more he said, the more he was thinking about how Aurore was the same way, and he worried he might mix up some of Aurore's characteristics with Mr. Fool's, affecting the Major Arcana card holders summary of Gehrman Sparrow's image.

    So it is indeed like this... Madam Justice felt that some of her private speculations and judgments made after understanding the truth about transmigration were confirmed.

    While memorizing, she felt that Gehrman Sparrow's image had become more grounded, more detailed, and more well-rounded.

    At this point, Madam Temperance, who couldn't easily speak due to her sequence limitations, displayed the paper she had been writing on.

    On the paper were words in ancient Feysac:

    "My impressions are:

    "Brave, decisive, extremely fast growth, increasingly reliable, increasingly capable.

    "Also, gentle, cultured, kind, rational, has a sense of justice, pursues fairness, has sufficient sympathy for those in suffering and poverty, and is willing to help. has a heart of mercy."

    After reading the contents of Madam Temperance's paper, Madam Justice thought quickly.

    After a while, she spoke slowly, "Currently, the public's mainstream impression of Gehrman Sparrow focuses on several labels:

    "Great adventurer, cold and powerful, Angel of Redemption, Mr. Fool's proxy, pirate killer.

    "We don't need to change these for now. What we need to do is make these labels richer, more detailed, and also show the complexity of human nature."

    The early impression that Gehrman Sparrow was a "lunatic" had basically faded after the Church of The Fool widely publicized the matter of redemption, and was no longer believed by most people.

    Madam Justice continued, "Let's now start summarizing and unifying our understanding.

    "The first word I want to propose is 'guardian`."

    All the Major Arcana card holders, including Lumian, had no objections to this.

    Thus, after multiple discussions, those present reached a unified understanding of Gehrman Sparrow's image: "Powerful, cautious, mysterious background, loves money but also generous, gentle at heart, shows mercy to people, redeems suffering. values family and relationships, always misses his homeland, is Mr. Fool's proxy.

    The Major Arcana card holders didn't add all the details to make the description richer, as that would both make it difficult to spread and easy to misinterpret-it was enough that they themselves had the corresponding impressions.

    Madam Magician thought for a moment and said, "I think we can add that he has rich inner thoughts, likes to ramble, joke, and tease in his mind.

    "For the novel's text, this would be very interesting. and this is also the true Gehrman Sparrow."

    "That works." Madam Justice looked toward Madam Magician and smiled, saying. "Then I'll trouble you to complete 'The Great Adventurer 7 within two weeks."

    "Alright." Madam Magician's body stiffened for a second, then she forced a smile and said, "I've even thought of the promotional tagline, um, "Want to see a more vivid and humane Gehrman Sparrow?"

      Chapter 1041: Different Accounts


      "Whether or not the Demoness of Black provided the corresponding mystical knowledge, you should perform the ritual in the next two days. I will help you forcefully locate and lock onto the Mirror Person. After this is done, I'll need to focus on meeting my deadline," Madam Magician said to Lumian as she floated in the East Lognes Forest near Chaillot Town.

      Don't tell me you haven't even started writing yet-not a single word? When you said above the gray fog that you'd even thought of the promotional tagline, did you make that up on the spot? In that case, completing The Great Adventurer 7' in two weeks would be very difficult, unless you don't care about quality... Lumian pondered thoughtfully.

      At the end of yesterday's small meeting, Madam Magician had promised in front of all the Major Arcana card holders that she would deliver the manuscript for 'The Great Adventurer 7' within two weeks.

      The other Major Arcana card holders also expressed that they would quickly adjust Gehrman Sparrow's image within their own spheres of influence. The most important among these was the action to be taken by the Church of The Fool.

      Mr. Sun would gather bishops from each parish in batches to undergo intensive theological training, adding corresponding interpretations and descriptions to their sermons while making minimal changes to the scripture.

      Before Lumian could respond, Madam Magician added, "If you're really not ready to perform the ritual yet, then we can wait until two weeks later."

      "I'm ready." Lumian calmly replied, standing atop a large tree, concealing himself in the shadows of the canopy.

      At this time, Franca arrived at the estate that primarily grew grapes.

      She once again saw Browns Sauron, with her orange- red long hair, clean and pure face, and hint of o wildness.

      "Long time no see," Franca smiled in greeting.

      Browns looked at her and suddenly froze. "You seem to have become more beautiful."

      "You've become more beautiful too," Franca observed Browns, noticing that her orange-red hair had become slightly darker, her features more delicate, and the touch of wildness in her demeanor made one unconsciously think of young girls who could participate in hunting in primitive tribes.

      Browns withdrew her gaze and said with slight pride in a soft voice, "I'm now a Demoness of Affliction."

      "If this were at sea, you'd have a chance to be called an admiral." Franca politely complimented.

      What do you call that? That's called having class!

      Browns strongly agreed with this, but said, "I feel like in recent years, Sequence 5 has become increasingly less valuable."

      When the apocalypse comes, except for a few special saints, perhaps only Angels will be able to make a difference... Franca suddenly felt somewhat melancholic.

      The two Demonesses chatted casually as they went deeper into the estate, arriving at the round pavilion situated among numerous grape vines and creepers.

      The Demoness of Black, wearing a deep blue hat, her face partially obscured by a veil which only made her more alluring, was sitting inside.

      "Teacher, Franca is here," Browns stepped forward and said softly.

      The Demoness of Black turned to the side and cast her gas upon France.

      "Good morning, Madame," Franca first greeted with a smile, then said seriously and devoutly, "I have become a Demoness of Despair, under God's watch."

      Demoness of Despair? Sequence 4 demigod? She became a demigod? Browns's beautiful eyes suddenly grew round.

      When she and Franca first met, they were both just Demonesses of Pleasure, and in just over half a year, the other party had reached Sequence 4?

      This was a qualitative change point, the gateway to godhood, the initial line separating humans from gods -how could it be so easy to cross and push open?

      A Sequence 4 Demoness of Despair, even within the entire Demoness Sect, their numbers were quite limited, worthy of being called high-ranking, though not yet able to enter the core layer!

      I thought my advancement speed was already fast enough... Browns momentarily felt dazed, unable to help questioning life.

      The Demoness of Black showed no obvious emotional fluctuation, and only nodded after Franca finished speaking, "Thank God for Her favor, thank the Primordial One's grace."

      She accepted it just like that? Has the Primordial Demoness given corresponding revelations? Franca, who was already prepared to flee the Demoness Sect at any time and wanted to get whatever benefits she could, quickly said, "After becoming a Demoness of Despair, I feel my connection with the Mirror Person has deepened, and it has undergone some sort of mutation. Could you teach me in detail about the mystical knowledge related to the Mirror Person?"

      The Demoness of Black glanced at Franca and said with a slight smile, "After gaining godhood, you indeed should pay attention to such matters."

      Her gaze swept over Browns as she continued, "The Mirror People of Demonesses always believe they are the original body, that they are the original who was separated after drinking the 'Witch' potion, imprisoned in the mirror world, serving as a mirror substitute and mirror magic medium. If you with your godhood believe this point, your soul, personality, and spirit will become incomplete because of it. Not only will you never have hope of reaching higher sequences, but you'll also have many problems in daily life, and the risk of losing control will also become very high.

      "A Demoness's Mirror Person is essentially a product of the combination of potion power and mirror world rules, closer to a spiritual imprint and soul projection."

      This is completely different from Moran Avigny's saying that a "Demoness's true self dwells within the mirror"... Although I prefer this explanation and am willing to accept it, the Demoness of Black probably hasn't revealed the whole truth. For example, why is the spiritual imprint and soul projection in a male state? After becoming a Witch, both body and soul have changed... Well, Moran Avigny, as a Mirror Person, his viewpoints and perspectives must also be biased... Combine the two? Franca listened quietly, thinking instinctively, without interrupting the Demoness of Black's explanation.

      The Demoness of Black's voice took on several layers of complexity, with various emotions difficult to distinguish.

      "This is also one of the reasons why males are more suited to the Demoness pathway.

      "To further utilize the mirror world, one must inevitably face their own Mirror Person, and male Demonesses Mirror Person is male-extreme, vengeful, hateful, males in pain who will be better attracted by a Demoness's charm, thereby becoming infatuated with us, both hating and obeying.

      "Female Demonesses' Mirror People have stronger replacement desires and are harder to control."

      Can it work like that? You were able to become a Demoness of Unaging because you charmed your mirror self and made him fall in love with you? What does tasting yourself yourself feel like? Franca pondered internally.

      Aren't Demonesses too twisted?

      She thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Eventually we have to face our own Mirror Person?

      "Will he be willing to meet with me? I feel he will deliberately avoid me using our mystical connection."

      The Demoness of Black answered, "They will indeed avoid you. Although our Mirror Person will continuously grow stronger as our strength increases, being equivalent to a copy of our abilities, but as a Demoness's Mirror Person, they are naturally restricted, constrained, and weakened by the mirror world, like prisoners wearing shackles unable to perform normally. They're unlikely to be our match, so they will inevitably choose to avoid us.

      "Only when you are weak enough, and there are no traps around, will you see him, face him.

      "Remember, what you know, he knows."

      Let the Mirror Person think there's an opportunity? And we share memories and abilities? Franca pondered for a few seconds and said, "In Underground Trier, I entered a special mirror world and encountered my own Mirror Person. That time, he faced me directly. without avoiding me in advance."

      "The Mirror Person in the special mirror worlds is different from a Demoness's Mirror Person in the broader mirror world. What's useful to us is the latter," the Demoness of Black explained briefly.

      Franca asked about some more details until the Demoness of Black no longer gave detailed answers.

      She had to report other matters.

      "Louis from the Emperor Party was very frustrated for a while earlier, seemingly unable to contact some important figure, but recently he's back to normal, showing no similar behavior."

      "Very good, keep watching them," the Demoness of Black nodded slightly.

      Franca received permission after taking her leave.

      The Demoness of Black quietly watched her silhouette until she and Browns disappeared into the grape grove.



      In the luxurious villa.

      Franca detailed the mystical knowledge taught by the Demoness of Black to Lumian and Jenna.

      "Are we performing the ritual today?" after they finished their discussion, Madam Magician asked.

      "We can try. We'll only know what problems there are after we try," Lumian stood up, his black hair falling loose.

      Madam Magician smiled and said, "No need to rush, wait for me."

      As soon as she finished speaking, this Major Arcana card holder opened an illusory door of starlight and walked through it.

      Soon after, she returned to this luxurious villa.

      She had changed her clothes, wearing a deep black warlock's robe embroidered with silver stars.

      "Look in the mirror, then use Mirror Substitution." Madam Magician's speech quickened slightly, as if she couldn't maintain her current state for too long.

      Under Franca and Jenna's watchful eyes, Lumian walked to the full-length mirror in the bedroom.

      Looking at the enchanting Demoness reflected in the mirror, he maintained a cold expression and actively used Mirror Substitution.

      When the e cracking sound rang out, the silver stars on Madam Magician's warlock robe began to glow, becoming increasingly numerous.

      The surrounding darkness spread accordingly, and an illusory starry sky descended upon this room.

      The brilliant stars moved rapidly, forming a directional, extremely complex key.

      This was forcefully locating by borrowing the mystical connection between Lumian and his Mirror Person, utilizing the characteristic that the Mirror Person was the corresponding medium for mirror magic!

      In just a second or two, Madam Magician's voice echoed ethereally, "Found him."

      Countless starlight then fell, disappearing into the full- length mirror.

      "I've briefly confined the target, you can go now," Madam Magician then said to Lumian.

      Her voice had returned to normal.

      Lumian nodded once, stepped into the full-length mirror, and following the starlight's guidance, traversed into the depths of the mirror world.

    "Madam Justice has been searching for an ancient dragon. She's had some results but kept missing it. After Mr. Fool Initially awoke, he gave her a revelation that should be very useful. We might see results soon."


    Fingers crossed, Madam Justice might become an Angel before Klein fully wakes up.

        A Sequence 2 Discerner or Sequence 2 Wisdom Angel....? Let's go with obvious choice.

        From what Lumian said I believe she's chasing a Dragon and it must be related to the Spectator Pathway. I hope the Dragon has more than one Seq 2 BC, those guys are almost extinct.

        I don't think he cares at this point, currently there are two Seq 2 Angels of the Spectator Pathway we know of;

        —Hermes (a member of the Twilight Hermit Order), he used to work with Adam but after he found out that Adam was the Ancient Sun god and that Adam was using him, he stopped working with Adam.
        He turned a blind eye when Gehrman Sparrow destroyed the Garden of Eden.

        —Ariehogg, he was the Mind Dragon Madam Justice met in book one, he told Audrey that "Adam isn't Adam" and I have reasons to believe "Ariehogg isn't Ariehogg" either.
        Just the way the Ancient Sun god had a resurrection plan with Adam, the Dragon of Imagination had a resurrection plan, that's Ariehogg.

        And these two Angels don't work for Adam, and they're both from the Spectator Pathway.

        And if the Fool wants a personal "Psychiatrist" at the level of an Angel, he will get one.
        I don't think he will let someone like Adam give him treatment.
        I won't let that guy near my head.

    Chapter 1039: Every Beginning is Difficult


    At the telegraph office in the arts district.

    Still wearing her sun hat and black veil, Jenna paid the telegram fee and gazed at the constant tinkling sounds next door, muttering to herself, "What are they renovating?"

    A male telegraph operator looked up and said with a mixture of disdain and worry,

    "The telephone office.

    "They say they want to develop wired telephones extensively. Can they really lay lines to so many places? In the end, they'll have to rely on wireless!"

    Yes, mobile phones should also be a type of wireless... Jenna suddenly felt nostalgic.

    She was also looking forward to the development of telephone networks in Intis. That way they could communicate in real-time instead of going through the trouble of sending and receiving telegrams.

    Walking out of the telegraph office, before Jenna could decide whether to take a carriage back to the luxurious villa or browse around the neighborhood, she heard a newspaper boy shouting at the intersection:

    "Extra! Extra!

    "Ms. Fors promises to finalize 'The Great Adventurer 7' within two weeks!

    "Extra! Extra!

    "The large generator manufactured by the Church of Steam's Deep Valley Cloister has entered the factory production stage!"

    Large generator... Jenna paused for a moment, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the horse-drawn trams on the road, women wearing different styles of sun hats. men carrying canes and wearing top hats, classical- style gas street lamps, luxurious theaters and nearby cafes, and various shops.

    This hardly looked like a scene approaching the apocalypse.

    Jenna gazed greedily at everything, worried it would suddenly dissipate like the dream city.

    In the luxurious villa.

    Lumian stood before the full-length mirror, staring motionlessly at his beautiful face that was both familiar and strange.

    He was waiting, waiting for the reflection to smile on its own or show some other expression.

    One of the major difficulties in the Demoness of Unaging advancement ritual was finding one's Mirror Person-this wasn't something one could encounter just by wanting to.

    The mystical connection between a Demoness and their Mirror Person served both as a locating aid and as an alarm that allowed the other party to detect danger early and constantly relocate.

    Moreover, according to the actual experiences and daily observations of the three Demonesses-Lumian, Franca, and Jenna-the stable Mirror People born from becoming Demonesses were different from those Mirror People in special mirror worlds.

    Under normal circumstances, the Demonesses' Mirror People could not leave the mirror world. Once these Mirror People entered reality, it meant there was a major problem with the Demoness's own state.

    "We'll still need to ask Madam Magician for help with positioning and containment..." Lumian, who had been watching the mirror image for an hour, withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.

    At that moment, Madam Magician appeared in the bedroom, surrounded by twinkling starlight.

    She looked around and asked, "Where's Two of Cups?"

    "She went to meet with her subordinate, preparing for tomorrow's meeting with the Demoness of Black," Lumian answered simply.

    Madam Magician frowned and said, "Is she still going to continue with the Demoness Sect's missions?

    "At the Sequence 4 demigod stage, the Demoness of Despair only provides potions and helps prepare rituals. How will Two of Cups explain how she was able to advance to Demoness of Despair, where the potion formula and corresponding ingredients came from, and how the ritual was completed?"

    "No explanation is needed. Her advancement to Sequence 4 was completed under the Primordial Demoness's watch, and these past few days, she often takes out that white bone figurine and places it beside her, with no abnormalities or dangers arising." Lumian explained on Franca's behalf, "This situation makes her feel she still has value to the Demoness Sect, or rather, to the Primordial Demoness. When the time comes, she can make up a convincing reason that the Demoness of Black should believe, such as divine bestowal or divine favor.

    "She can also take this opportunity to learn more mystical knowledge about Mirror People from the Demoness of Black, which might prove useful in the upcoming Demoness of Unaging ritual."

    Madam Magician looked at Lumian for several seconds. "This is dangerous."

    "We know," Lumian replied in a low voice.

    Madam Magician sighed and said, "When she goes to meet the Demoness of Black tomorrow, remember to notify me in advance. I'll provide necessary protection nearby."

    "Thank you," Lumian then asked, "Why did you suddenly come over? Is something wrong?"

    Weren't we supposed to wait until we gathered all the information before setting a time for the ritual?

    Madam Magician made no attempt to hide it, her expression becoming quite complex,

    "To have a small meeting."

    "Small meeting?" Lumian raised an eyebrow.

    "A small meeting means a private gathering without Mr. Fool present, but still held in the palace above the gray fog." Madam Magician explained briefly. "Previously it was fixed at once a month, but now that formal meetings have resumed and are fixed for 3 pm on the first Monday of each month, we obviously can't continue with the small meetings in the same way. They might become more impromptu in nature, specifically convened for special matters."

    "This discussion..." Lumian asked thoughtfully, "Is it to unify the Major Arcana's understanding of Gehrman Sparrow?"

    "Yes," Madam Magician nodded slightly. "In half an hour, recite Mr. Fool's honorific name."

    After speaking, her figure transformed into countless starlight and flew into the illusory door.

    Half an hour later, Lumian recited Mr. Fool's honorific name and once again arrived above the gray fog. sitting at one side of the bronze long table.

    In his eyes, streaks of light were rising up, condensing into slightly blurred figures in different seats.

    In less than a minute, all the Major Arcana card holders were present.

    After glancing at Madam Justice, The Magician began speaking.

    "I just returned from Two of Cups. She compared the current Mr. Fool, or rather Gehrman Sparrow's image, to an Al.."

    After roughly repeating Franca's original words, this lady said, "I think it makes sense. We must quickly unify our understanding of Gehrman Sparrow to minimize the corruption of the faith anchors."

    Madam Justice picked up the thread.

    "The most fundamental and widespread public perceptions of Gehrman Sparrow don't need to be changed, and can't be changed in the short term- these themselves don't contain contradictions.

    "What we need to do is make the Gehrman Sparrow beneath this shell closer to Mr. Fool's true self, and ensure there are no contradictions.

    "Since we want to unify this understanding, we must start with ourselves. If our own understandings still differ and contain major contradictions, it will certainly affect later corrections and dissemination."

    Seeing all the Major Arcana card holders nodding slightly in agreement, Madam Justice said, "Then let's first share our impressions of Mr. Fool and Gehrman Sparrow, record them, and then discuss which ones are correct and which can be unified.

    "Who wants to start?"

    Madam Justice first looked toward Madam Magician and Mr. Star.

    She found that the former showed hints of fear, seemingly afraid to speak or listen, while the latter kept his mouth shut, appearing quite hesitant, as if unsure which things should be said, which shouldn't, and whether to say everything.

    The Chariot Lumian clicked his tongue imperceptibly and shook his head.

    "What are you thinking about?" Mr. Moon, who was sitting not far from him, tilted his head curiously to ask.

    Lumian chuckled and said, "I'm imagining how I would feel if a group of people were discussing what kind of person I am behind my back, each with different impressions."

    "Embarrassed?" Mr. Moon couldn't help but consider it too.

    The Chariot Mr. Lumian smiled and said, "I don't know if others would be embarrassed, but for myself, I'd probably be excited, find it fun, and wish I could sneak in to listen."

    Mr. Moon raised his right hand and touched his face.

    He instinctively looked at the huge chair at the head of the table, then glanced at the position at the bottom, confirming that neither Mr. Fool nor The World was present-truly not present. "If it were the Sherlock Moriarty in my impression, he would genuinely be embarrassed, but if it were Gehrman Sparrow, he would maintain a cold expression, making it impossible to tell what he's thinking." Mr. Moon responded to Lumian's words.

    After speaking, he found that the other Major Arcana card holders were all looking at him.

    Seeing this, Lumian inwardly chuckled and muttered to himself, See, someone to kick things off has volunteered themselves.

    Mr. Moon froze for a moment, and seeing everyone waiting for him to continue, he had no choice but to maintain outward composure and continue.

    "I haven't had much interaction with Gehrman Sparrow; it was mainly above the gray fog. Many of my impressions come from rumors, centered around words like cold, powerful, and quick-to-action.

    "Comparatively, I know Sherlock Moriarty better. He's quite perceptive, fairly vigilant, very concerned with money, but judging from his behavior at the Harvest Church and other places, he's actually quite caring and possesses a true gentleman's sense of humor..."

    After speaking in one breath, Mr. Moon slightly raised his chin, looked around, and said, "You guys' turn."

    Madam Justice didn't wait for other Major Arcana cards, deciding to follow Mr. Moon's example and set a model for everyone.

    "I'll go.

    "I was once Mr. World's psychiatrist, provided him with corresponding treatment, and even entered the Hall of Truth with him, hearing many of his inner thoughts."

    Upon catching the term Hall of Truth, Mr. Star unconsciously adjusted his sitting position, with his right side more forward and his left side slightly withdrawn.

    After all the Major Arcana card holders, including The Chariot Lumian, turned to look at her, Madam Justice spoke in a steady voice,

    "My deepest impression of Mr. World is that he was very lonely. He had many things piled up in his heart and weighing on his shoulders....

    "But he could still control himself, not indulging, not despairing, not acting willfully, not becoming distorted....

    "What Mr. Moon just said is correct-he was indeed a very caring person, his heart was actually very gentle, and his cold and tough exterior was just a facade he had put on..."

    Miss Justice's gentle voice slowly echoed above the bronze long table.
