Chapter 83 Mr. Fool's Mission
As "The Fool" announced the official start of their gathering, everyone on both sides of the mottled long table instinctively turned their heads to look at Cyril.
The latter looked around and then chuckled, saying, "Then let me share the information I promised last week."
"Regarding the third law of extraordinary characteristics, it is an extension of the two laws of extraordinary characteristics mentioned by Mr. 'The Fool' at the last gathering, and a supplement to them, known as the law of convergence of extraordinary characteristics."
"Within the same extraordinary pathway, high-sequence items and extraordinary beings will intermittently and unconsciously attract low- to mid-sequence extraordinary beings to their vicinity, and there is a tendency for them to gather together."
"High-sequence individuals can detect and, to some extent, shield themselves from this attraction; certain pathways can completely block its influence."
"Furthermore, similar pathways also exhibit the law of convergence."
"This is why extraordinary individuals are more likely to encounter extraordinary events than ordinary people; their extraordinary characteristics attract each other and converge."
"This is also the essence of the extraordinary world: whatever is separated must come together, and whatever is come together must separate!"
Everything that is separated will come together, and everything that is together will separate.
Klein murmured to himself, and suddenly thought of some things that had happened in the past, from the Antigonus family notes to the secret order. He seemed to have a special affinity for things related to the "occupation of a home" path.
They are more like passively attracted to me. If there is a high-sequence object nearby that can cause a aggregation effect, then...
His gaze was fixed on the boundless gray fog beneath his feet, which seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.
In his diary, Emperor Roselle mentioned that he regretted not choosing the three paths of "diviner," "thief," and "apprentice." Could this be related to the space above this gray fog?
If that's the case, then the essence of this space is actually a high-sequence item belonging to one of the following paths: "Occupyr," "Thief," or "Apprentice"?
Perhaps my initial choice of becoming a "fortune teller" was itself a manifestation of convergence.
As his thoughts drifted, he heard Alger, the "Hanged Man," ask a question:
"Whether it's the Church of the True God or other clandestine organizations, the core structure of these organizations must consist of a large number of extraordinary individuals who share the same path. Is this also a manifestation of aggregation?"
"The churches are converging towards the true God, while secret organizations are converging towards...: the secret entity they believe in?"
He instinctively wanted to say "evil god," but when he thought of the existence of "The Fool," the words remained hidden from his lips.
Cyril glanced at Alger, the "Hanged Man," and nodded slightly.
"That's part of the factor, but more importantly, once you reach the level of a true god, you'll have absolute control over the path you're on."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," nodded thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at the "Fool" at the head of the mottled long table.
He spoke respectfully:
"Mr. 'Fool,' I've obtained some information related to a secret society."
"Very good." "The Fool" Klein nodded slightly, indicating that "The Hanged Man" should proceed with the explanation.
Upon receiving a response from "The Fool," Alger, the "Hanged Man," calmly replied:
"The Secret Order has certain connections with the Republic of Intis."
That's it?
Cyril glanced at Alger the Hanged Man from afar. He subconsciously felt that this news wasn't even news, but he quickly realized that in this world, the Secret Order was a truly secretive organization, and the Extraordinary Path preferred to stay behind the scenes. Even if some people were active, it was mostly because they had joined Intis's intelligence agency. This job itself required secrecy, and information was rarely leaked.
It's estimated that not many people in the extraordinary community know about the Secret Order, let alone its network of connections.
Sitting at the head of the table, "The Fool" Klein thought of Ambassador Intis, whom he had recently offended due to some unforeseen circumstances.
...Is this the Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics? I've only just arrived in Backlund, and I've already offended Ambassador Intis by accident. And Ambassador Intis is most likely protected by members of the Secret Order.
Only high-order sequences can detect and block this effect, but I don't even have a clue about sequence 7...
Thinking of the human-like horsehair worm that had sneaked into his house last night, Klein suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, especially after learning about the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Convergence. He vaguely understood that he could not escape this matter.
In a flash of inspiration, he thought of a possible solution to his current predicament, so he tapped the edge of the bronze table lightly with his finger and chuckled softly:
"I'm going to issue a task."
After a slight pause, noticing that everyone was looking at him, he continued:
"One of my followers has arrived in Backlund. He wants to do something that will attract everyone's attention, but without having to do it himself."
"This matter is relatively difficult for you, and you are free to choose to accept or refuse it."
Sirien raised an eyebrow, controlling his expression as he glanced at Klein.
At the head of the long, weathered table, Klein, shrouded in gray mist, was also looking at Sirion. He was simply adding the label of "The Fool's Favorite" to his identity as Sherlock Moriarty, based on the other's previous guess.
Only by having the identity of the "Fool's" follower can he legitimately seek the other party's help.
From his perspective, the person most likely to help him in this matter was this fellow villager who had connections with several evil gods and hidden beings.
He looked around and, seeing that no one asked any questions, continued:
"What he wanted to accomplish was to assassinate the Republic of Intis's ambassador to the Kingdom of Ruen, Beckeran Jean Madan."
"Assassination of the ambassador of the Republic of Intis?"
Audrey, a noblewoman known for her "justice," reacted most strongly, a rare occurrence for a "spectator" to be unable to control her emotions.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," was pondering the meaning behind this matter, while Cyril and Derrick, the "Sun," sat calmly. The former already knew about this, while the latter simply couldn't understand it at all.
"Who among you is willing to accept this mission? What kind of reward do you want?" Klein, the "patient" at the head of the table, calmly looked around at everyone.
Cyril glanced around, noticing the hesitant Miss "Justice," the bewildered Mr. "Sun," and the deep-thinking Mr. "Hanged Man." After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and spoke:
"I can provide some valuable intelligence, but as for assassinating a heavily guarded ambassador, that's beyond my capabilities."
...This sequence won't work, meaning in the next sequence you'll be able to assassinate a heavily guarded kingdom ambassador?
Klein looked at Cyril in surprise, his mind racing with speculation... Could he become a Sequence 5 or even a Sequence 4 in his next sequence?
Is it that the next sequence itself is very strong?
As he pondered, he overheard the information shared by Sirion:
"Beckran Jean Madin is the Intis ambassador to the Kingdom of Rune, and also the head of Intis's intelligence network in the Kingdom of Rune. All of Intis's intelligence personnel in the Kingdom of Rune are under his command."
"He is treacherous, cautious, cruel, and also a womanizer."
"Besides the heavy security personnel around him, he himself is a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and he also has a Sequence 5 from the Intis Intelligence Agency by his side."
"However, some things have happened in Backlund recently, and intelligence agents from all sides are operating covertly. That Sequence 5 Beyonder should not have time to deal with him. If we can seize the opportunity, it is indeed possible to carry out the assassination. Well, the premise is that we are well prepared."
For a moment, Audrey, the "Justice," showed the same bewilderment as Derrick, the "Sun."
What happened in Backlund? Isn't it as peaceful as usual here?
Alger, the "Hanged Man," gave Cyril a deep look... Could he know such detailed information? Was he an intelligence agent for the Kingdom of Rune, or a spy planted in Rune by another country or force?
Audrey, who was also an "audience member," noticed this and became suspicious of Cyril's identity.
However, considering that this was a task assigned by Mr. Fool, she became less resistant.
After a moment's hesitation, she looked up at the head of the long, weathered table:
"Mr. Fool, I can try to complete this task, but I can't guarantee success."
After a brief pause, she turned to look at Sirion and asked, "Mr. 'Destiny,' how long will it take you to advance to the next sequence?"
"A long time," Sirion responded calmly, then paused and added:
"I just reached Sequence 7 a few days ago. Even if the role-playing and material collection go smoothly afterward, it will still take at least a few months."
"The Hanged Man" Alger suddenly interjected, "You, a Sequence 6, are confident you can assassinate an ambassador who is heavily protected and is also a Sequence 6 Beyonder?"
Cyril glanced at the other person and explained briefly:
"My next sequence is called 'Recorder.' As the name suggests, he can record and reproduce all extraordinary abilities he has ever witnessed, including those at the demigod level."
"That's amazing!" Audrey, the "Justice" of the group, looked visibly surprised. She felt that this sequence seemed a bit too powerful.
Sensing the other's thoughts, Cyril shook his head slightly: "The prerequisite for recording is that you have seen it before, and there is also a limit to the success rate." Audrey quickly understood the key point, but still sighed: "That is still amazing, especially for an extraordinary person with a huge organization behind them."
