In order to become a devil, I decided to be a butler first

Chapter 140



Su Lunben just wanted to make a joke.

Although the time contact was extremely short, Su Lun could deeply feel the wisdom of the girl in front of him.

He felt that Freya should be able to easily see through the joke and reply calmly.

But contrary to Su Lun's expectations, hearing his words, Freya's whole body trembled, but her wise eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic.

"This ...... You...... You can't do that. "

The unexpected cute reaction made Su Lun, who had planned to stop in moderation, raise her eyebrows, and inexplicably wanted to bully her again.

"Oh, so tell me what I can't do?"

"According to the ritual of the Fool's Journey, this should be the right thing to do, right?"

As he spoke, Su Lun slowly approached the girl.

"You...... You...... You ......"

Freya was a little speechless, so flustered that she didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Su Lun understood that he seemed to be really scaring her, so he stopped and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Miss Freya, but I was just kidding. "

“......"

Freya was stunned.

“...... You don't have to apologize, Your Excellency the Hermit. "

The girl lowered her head, not knowing if it was an illusion, obviously her face was covered by a light veil, but Su Lun still saw the blush that flashed on the girl's face.

She patted her bulging mouth and breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly spoke:

“... I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. "

“...... Makes you smile. "

Su Lun stepped back some distance to avoid putting too much pressure on the other party because of his proximity.

He didn't expect Freya, who looked so smart on the outside, to be so timid, so he made such an inappropriate joke.

Something quirky.

Among the conditions required to become a "priestess" card holder is "supernormal wisdom", and the basic power of the "priestess" itself is to continuously improve the wisdom of the card holder.

But this woman, who should be very smart in theory, didn't even see Su Lun's obvious joke in the first place......

It struck him as odd.

“......"

Freya seemed to understand the reason for Su Lun's silence at the moment, and she was a little embarrassed, but she had to pretend that nothing had happened.

She felt a little annoyed that she really relied too much on the power of the "priestess".

There was no way to observe the future of the person in front of her, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation since she was a child.

All the while, all the people who have come into contact with her, any next actions and reactions are completely within her expectations.

This very obvious joke, with her intelligence, should have been easily seen through......

But this is the first time she has seen someone perform "actions beyond her expectations" since she was a child.

Freya didn't expect that this would make her so uneasy and make her lose her most basic thinking ability.

Forcibly ignoring the somewhat awkward atmosphere that had become a bit due to Suren's joke, Freya stubbornly continued:

“...... Then I will continue, Your Excellency the Hermit. "

Su Lun hummed in a strange tone, which made Freya can't help but blush again, fortunately there is a light veil to cover her face, which is not obvious.

"The appearance of the original tarot cards is cyclical, not continuous. "

"Every time the ritual of the Fool's Journey ends, about a hundred years or so, the original tarot cards will reappear one after another. "

"Since the first generation 700 years ago, there have been five generations of card holders, and five "Fool's Journey" rituals have been performed. "

"And our generation is the sixth generation. "

As she spoke, Freya used her magic power to condense a three-dimensional projection-like image in the air.

It was a band of light like a galaxy of the universe, extremely mysterious and magnificent, and there were twenty-two vacant positions inside the band of light.

"Twelve years ago, when I was meditating for the first time, I received a response from the "priestess" and became the first "card bearer" of this generation of primordial tarot cards. "

With her words, inside the three-dimensional galaxy in the sky, among the twenty-two vacant positions, a tarot card in the shape of a "priestess" appeared.

Therefore, with the information explosion of the moment when the original tarot card was determined, as the earliest card holder, I knew all the time and location of the card holder. "

"Ten years ago, in Sequence 21, the holder of "The World" confirmed that the location was in London, England. "

A tarot card in the shape of a "world" appeared inside the galaxy.

"Later that year, in Sequence 13, the holder of the Reaper confirmed ......"

"Nine years ago, Sequence 4 "Emperor" ......"

One by one, she said the appearance time and place of each card holder, and the twenty-two vacant positions on the three-dimensional galaxy in the sky were also filled with cards one by one.

"And then there's you, Sequence 9 "Hermit". "

Suren's "Hermit" card also appeared in the galaxy.

This is followed by Sequence 14, "Temperance," which appeared just yesterday. "

It wasn't until the "Temperance" card also appeared in the galaxy that Freya stopped.

By this time, only four of the twenty-two vacancies remained.

"So far, there are four players left who have not yet appeared...... They are "Strength" in Sequence 8, "Demon" in Sequence 15, and "Sun" in Sequence 19. "

And finally...... The "Fool" who never appeared. "

With that, Freya dispersed the galaxy of projections created by magic in the air.

"Miss Freya, excuse me for taking the liberty of asking, what is your purpose?"

"Do you also want to complete the grand ritual of the "Fool's Journey" and transform yourself into a "Fool"?"

Su Lun asked suspiciously.

The girl in front of him invited him here and helped him answer almost all his doubts about the "original tarot cards", which was a little surprising.

Suren was a little confused about Freya's purpose.

If it is said that it is to complete the "Fool's Journey", then she should hide all the secrets, and with her special ability to observe the future, it is not difficult to calculate everything behind the scenes.

Holding a priestess, she has an overwhelming intelligence advantage, even if her strength is slightly weaker, she also occupies a considerable advantage in this "Fool's Journey".

Or maybe...... The meeting with Suren was part of her calculations.

It's not surprising that such a monster that can observe the future does anything that doesn't make sense.

Because what she sees in her eyes, and she gets more information than anyone else.

Hearing Suren's question, Freya nodded at first, then shook her head.

"I really want to complete the 'Fool's Journey' and put an end to the tragedy of the Tarot system that has lasted for 700 years......"

"But, not for myself, but for you. "

"Me?"

Suren's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of one of the conditions that Freya described to become the "priestess" bearer.

- "The Mind of Devotion".

"Yes. "

Freya nodded, looking at Suren with a hint of meaning in her eyes that Suren couldn't understand.

"As I said before, the moment you became the hand holder, you observed a moment of your future. "

Finally speaking to the point, Su Lun's spirit was shocked, and he said with interest:

"Tell me about it. "

Freya's eyes gradually lost focus, as if she was immersed in what she was seeing.

"In a world of infinite knowledge, and only infinite knowledge. "

"You can't see your face, sitting right in the very center of this terrifying world, surrounded by all twenty-one primordial tarot cards. "

"All the tarot cards are pouring out of mystical power in unison, calling out a brand new card above your head. "

"It was the only card that didn't have a serial number. "

At this, Freya's eyes suddenly showed a hint of fear.

"I thought that was my long-cherished wish for the Tarot Society for 700 years—"The· Fool)」。 "

I thought?

Su Lun's eyes flashed.

"But on the deck of that card, there was a person who was eerie, funny, scary, and weird. "

Then, the name of the card appeared at the top of the board - "The· Joker)」。 "

Clown!?

Su Lun was startled, and then fell into thought.
