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

The word "Joker" originally meant "funny person", "joker", "humorous person", etc., but when translated into Chinese, it means "clown".

This is a term with a broader meaning, and not a narrow term for an actor with a white face and a red nose who performs a burlesque circus, as most people think.

In the occult, the word "Joker" has a deeper meaning.

This brings us to a deck of cards that originated from tarot cards and are different from tarot cards.

- "Playing Cards".

This is one of the most famous and popular card games all over the world.

It itself evolved from the tarot cards, removing the main card of the big Arcana from the tarot cards, leaving only 56 small Arcana decks.

Transform "Wand" into "Club", "Sword" into "Spade", "Star Coins" into "Diamonds", and "Holy Grail" into "Hearts".

Erase the four "squires" from the four decks, and then change the "1" in each deck to "A", which refers to "ACE", that is, the trump card.

"Emperor of Wands" became "Emperor of Plum Blossoms (K)", "Queen of Wands" became "Queen of Plum Blossoms (Q)", and "Knight of Wands" became "Knight of Plum Blossoms (J)......

The same is true for the rest of the deck, and 12 famous "emperors", "empresses" and "knights" from European history and mythology have been added to enrich their meaning, and a total of 52 playing cards have been preliminarily completed.

The reason why the playing cards canceled the main card of the Great Arcana is said to be because of the order of a certain great man, who believed that no ordinary person could be above the king, and that the main cards of the Great Arcana were all above the emperor, which was unreasonable.

Therefore, the king in the playing cards, which is also known as the "emperor", is the largest.

However, only one card from the Great Arcana remained—"The Fool."

"No ordinary person can be above the king, but the fool is not an ordinary person."

- said the big man.

At this point, the fool, as the only remaining main card, was transformed into the "clown" in the playing cards, becoming the big and small king, and the playing cards were officially set at fifty-four cards.

In the occult, playing cards are a variant of tarot cards, and the "clown" has always been seen as an alternative representation of the fool.

There are quite a few Tarot Demon Dao scholars who believe that the clown is the "reverse reversal" of the fool!

The "Fool's Journey" symbolizes that the pure "Fool" has gone through everything, comprehended the true meaning of the world, and finally returned to his original intention and became a pure and happy "Fool" again.

And "Joker" is the end of the "Fool's Journey", who did not complete the transformation, and finally sank completely, lost hope in everything, and gave up the person who returned to the Fool!

The dark meaning it represents is enough to make any magician who understands the tarot system shudder.

As Freya, who has been cultivating the tarot system since she was a child, she naturally understands the meaning of "clown".

Originally, like other orthodox tarot mages, she didn't take the "clown" in the "copycat tarot card" indiscriminately adapted.

However, when she was observed in Suren's future, Freya had to be terrified.

The statement of "clown" turned out to be true......

At the end of the "Fool's Journey", the Fool failed to complete his final transformation...... In other words, another terrifying metamorphosis has been achieved, incarnated as a "clown".

Although she didn't understand what this meant, instinctively, Freya had a rather bad premonition in her heart.

Therefore, she immediately set out and came to the Shendu in person to meet this "hermit" who would incarnate as a clown in the future, hoping that with the power of the "priestess", she could accurately observe the details of the "clown".

But...... It backfired, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, the wisdom of the "hermit" had surpassed her, so that the "priestess's" technique had lost its effect, and it would no longer be possible to observe it in the future.

But because of this, Freya made up her mind.

The "Priestess", one of the first people the Fool encounters on his journey, is the most intelligent symbol of the twenty-two main cards, and has the responsibility of guiding the Fool to the right path.

The future can be observed, but it is not ...... Can't change it!

"Your Excellency, the Hermit. "

Just as Suren pondered the meaning of "clown", Freya's beautiful girlish voice sounded in his ears again.

Unlike before, at this time, there was a different kind of emotion in her voice.

Suren had heard such a voice before.

It was when he was still in Youhai City, during the Star Festival incident, the Holy Star Bishop named Alilyn had such feelings from beginning to end.

Suren looked into Freya's eyes.

Those shining eyes full of wisdom seemed to have a flame burning quietly in them at this time.

It is the fire of a firm mind, the eyes of a "martyr" who will do whatever it takes to believe in his own beliefs.

Su Lun couldn't help but be a little frightened by it, and couldn't help but say:

"Please, Miss Freya. "

The girl's hands were holding on to the armrests of the wheelchair, as if she was trying to stand up.

Her legs moved slightly, but only to that extent, and she didn't move further.

With a soft sigh, Freya gave up the idea of acting on her own body, and instead poured out invisible magic and froze on her legs, like a puppet, forcibly controlling her legs and standing up.

She was a little uncomfortable, and stumbled in front of Suren.

"Ahh

Suddenly, Freya let out a small exclamation, as if the control of her magic power had been miscontrolled, and she fell to the ground, and threw herself squarely into Suren's arms.

"Are you alright, Miss Freya?"

Reaching out to support the girl who fell on top of him, Su Lun was in a delicate mood.

Why do you think this plot is similar...... He seems to have seen it in many works.

Freya was a little embarrassed about her mistake, and her face was slightly red, but she forced herself to calm down and whispered:

"It's okay....... "

There was a faint fragrance on the girl's body, which wafted into Su Lun's mouth and nose.

It was quite a fragrance that could arouse his impulse as a male surname, obviously not a perfume, but the smell of the girl herself.

Although she was a little moved, Su Lun didn't make any rude moves, but just gently helped her up quite gentlemanly.

After Freya stood firmly, she breathed a sigh of relief, with apologies in her eyes, and said shyly:

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I had some accidents with my legs, I didn't mean to......"

Su Lun smiled and said gently:

"No need to apologize, Miss Freya, no man would refuse such an "accident". "

Although his words contained a slight hint of ridicule, they were quite clever in resolving the embarrassment in Freya's heart, and she couldn't help but feel grateful.

Your Excellency the Hermit is a true gentleman.

Thinking of this, Freya took a deep breath and gently broke away from Suren's support.

Then, quite reluctantly, she made a respectful gesture of half-kneeling, clasped her hands together, held them in her heart, and bowed her head respectfully.

"Your Excellency, from what I have observed, there is no doubt that you are the only noble person in seven hundred years who has the ability to awaken the person of the fool. "

"My heartfelt wish you will be able to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Tarot Society for 700 years. "

However, the picture of fate made me suspicious, and the prophecy of the "Joker" made me fearful. "

"Hereby I boldly petition that I perform the duties of a priestess and guide you through the proper journey of the fool. "

She bowed her head deeply and spoke in a reverent tone as if she were chanting a god.

"Please use me (the priestess) to your heart's content!"

"At the same time, I also hope that you can listen to the voice of the "priestess" on the way to this great journey and go to the right end!"
