Chapter 198 The Tarot Club's Head in Backlund

When Fors saw Raphael resting on Hugh's bed, he felt a sense of unreality.

She and Hugh had never brought anyone else to the rental apartment before, so Fors' first reaction was, why has Hugh suddenly grown so tall?

Fors was momentarily dazed before quickly leaving the room: Why was Raphael here?

Of course, the reason she had such time to react was because Raphael meant no harm; otherwise, she would have immediately "traveled" away upon his return.

At this moment, Hugh came out of Fors's room: "Raphael and I encountered danger during the operation, and I thought I might need your help, so I brought Raphael back."

Fors said "Oh," and she also felt that it didn't seem like a big deal. Raphael had fought alongside Hugh before, so they were quite familiar with each other. Moreover, Fors had always felt that Raphael was an unofficial member of the Tarot Society. Although he had not joined the Tarot Society, he was mentioned almost every time the Tarot Society was held.

Because of the endorsement from Hugh and members of "Justice" and "The World," Fors also felt that Raphael was generally credible.

At this moment, Raphael groped his way out from inside and smiled at Fors, saying, "Excuse me."

"It's alright," Fors smiled. She didn't think Raphael was crazy at all; on the contrary, she found him quite polite.

Just by looking at his friend's expression, Xiu could roughly tell what she was thinking: You'll know once you get to know her better.

Fors first put the ham in the kitchen, and Hugh and Raphael sat down at the table. She told Fors about her experiences that day and Raphael's plans. However, the part about kissing Raphael and their sexual encounter was omitted.

During this time, Fors noticed the glove Raphael was wearing on his right hand. Although it looked ordinary, it seemed somewhat familiar.

Fors had met with Klein frequently while digesting the "Recorder" potion and had also been familiar with "Crawling Hunger".

However, "Crawling Hunger" has the ability to disguise itself. When not in use, it looks just like a normal leather glove, so Fors didn't recognize it at first.

After hearing Hugh's description, Fors suddenly understood why Hugh supported Raphael's plan. With the help and support of "The Fool," this somewhat risky plan was actually not dangerous.

Moreover, Raphael seems to possess some special abilities, making the most unpredictable aspect of this plan, ironically, "..."

Will those who advocate "moderation" cooperate?

However, Fors asked Raphael again, "Are you sure?"

"I'm confident," Raphael said. "I severely injured that guy in the previous illusion. If a demigod is willing to help, taking him down won't be difficult."

"And my eyes are the key to finding it, and also our greatest asset in our collaboration with the Temperance faction."

"We'll find it, and the demigod of the Temperance faction will take care of it. The spoils we get will be at least five extraordinary traits."

The key is to kill this guy who can use illusions; that should also get you a level 1 sealed artifact.

"Alright, count me in," Fors smiled, then asked Raphael, "How do we contact the 'Temperance Faction'?"

Raphael was taken aback: "You can't contact them at all?"

He initially thought it was just that he couldn't contact the "Temperance Faction".

Silence fell over the table. The plan itself was fine, but who could have imagined that no one could contact Miss Sharon!

Fors was about to suggest that she could discuss it with another friend to see if she could get in touch with the "Temperance" group—her so-called friend being, of course, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow.

Raphael spoke first: "Then we'll have to contact your organization's head in Backlund and ask him to find a solution."

However, this would mean having to add another person to share the spoils.

Hugh and Fors exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same message: Does the Tarot Association have someone in charge in Backlund?

They had never thought about this question, but when Mr. World was in Backlund, he was undoubtedly the "person in charge".

But now the "world" is in the "forsaken land," and the members of the Tarot Society in Backlund are all Sequence 5 and Sequence 6. The three female members know each other, but they don't know "the Moon" and "the Star" at all in the real world, and there is no "person in charge".

Seeing that Hugh and Fors remained silent, Raphael asked somewhat uncertainly, "You—you also can't contact your leader in Backlund?"

A Sequence 6 and a Sequence 5, are they marginal figures in their organization?

Hugh took a deep breath before saying, "We can't tell you any specific information, but you should know that things aren't quite what you think."

Raphael thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I see."

He realized that the organization's structure was somewhat unusual.

Most clandestine organizations follow a linear development model.

For example, in the Aurora Society, Wagner was a key member at the grassroots level. He was responsible for protecting several missionaries, each of whom was responsible for maintaining a group of believers who believed in the "true Creator." This is the downward line.

If this line goes upwards, there are more than twenty "core members" in Backlund similar to Wagner, all of whom obey the messenger Raphael.

Raphael's direct superiors are the "Saint of Mystery" and the "Saint of Darkness," who are in charge of affairs related to the Kingdom of Rune and the Raging Sea.

0

These two saints were under the command of Vice President Freddy.

Generally speaking, a single line can clarify the relationships from top to bottom.

However, there are a few exceptional organizations that use a "surface-based" development model.

It consists of a leader surrounded by a core group of members, most of whom are strangers to each other, and each core member has their own subordinates and connections. The organizational structure is clear and simple.

Then Hugh offered, "Please wait a moment, I'll try to contact the Temperance Faction."

She had noticed long ago that her friend Fors seemed reluctant to take the initiative to contact Mr. "World".

After saying that, she got up and went to her room.

Raphael immediately understood that this was a way to connect with the other members through prayer, so he smiled and said, "Your method of communication is quite convenient."

Fors simply smiled and said nothing.

Hugh, in the room, prayed to Mr. Fool, then reported his general experience of the day and Raphael's plan to Mr. Fool, and asked Mr. Fool to contact "The World" and ask if he would be willing to provide a way to contact the "Temperance Faction".

After waiting for a while, a mysterious and imposing figure sitting in a high-backed chair suddenly appeared in my mind—it was Mr. Fool.

Then the Fool showed Hugh a picture of the world in which people were praying devoutly, and he told Hugh how to contact the Temperance faction.

Hugh prayed to Mr. Fool again, first thanking Mr. Fool, and then thanking the World.

Then, a thought struck her, and at the end of her prayer, she asked, "Revered Fool," "When dealing with the 'Temperance' faction, our Tarot society needs someone to take charge. Who should play this role?"

In her view, when dealing with other organizations, some issues need to be resolved quickly and decisions need to be made without time for discussion. Therefore, it is necessary to have someone who represents the interests of the Tarot Society.

A few minutes later, the towering figure of "The Fool" reappeared in Hugh's mind: "Raphael!"
