In the real world, I had initially planned to get a client that would depend upon me and then preach the word of the Fool to them, but it seemed fate had something else for me.
Now that I was already in my room, I decided to meet the seven lights and get the right information.
************************'
I entered the spirit world and looked at the light, which was once again hanging very low, but this time it actually manifested.
The lights greeted me with the usual flattery from your servants, so to speak.
The orange light seemed like the leader to me.
I spoke, "Salutations, my dear lights. Should I introduce myself?"
Harrion spoke, "That won't be necessary; we, the light, were quite eager to meet you and, as such, have been keeping an eye on you."
I nodded before speaking. "I will cut straight to the chase; I need information regarding the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent. Furthermore, Information about the Moses Ascetic Order"
The seven lights nodded, and the orange light, Hilarion, spoke.
"Your excellency, the Southern Continent has very few beyonders of low and mid sequences; as for high sequences, they are mostly elves from the Eastern Continent.
This is also the reason there are many beyonder creatures that are hunted, but their materials are either discarded or never collected. As you can tell, Giants and Elves have made attempts to invade these lands but only high-sequence saints have manage to pass through
And due to this, the knowledge of pathways is limited in the southern continent rather than the northern continent.
As for the northern continent, due to the above reason, it has a higher civilization status, especially kingdoms with beyonder gatherings
As for the Moses Ascetic Order, there doesn't seem to be any gathering with such a name."
I nodded; it seems certain information doesnt match with what I remembered
These points and plotholes might have been covered in the second book.
I then asked, "Tell me, how many saints does humanity have at hand?"
The orange light once again answered, "At hand, merely 8."
Huh, just 8 saints—that's too few even for humanity; we should have made some experiments with the beyonder creatures.
I asked, "Have humans named Leodero and Aucuses been born?"
The Orange Light continued, "Yes, your excellency. Leodero and Aucuses have indeed been born, but why do you ask of these individuals?"
Have the seven lights not heard the conversation between me, Amanises, and Grisha??? Well, I suppose I can ask that.
I nodded and answered, "Because they may be useful in the future.
Tell me, if you were aware of a history that would have happened if you hadn't existed and you were certain it would have, would this be considered fooling of sorts?
Furthermore, Did you not know of the conversation that happened between me and Amanises and Grisha after we reported from the Chaos Sea"
This time Venithan, the yellow light, answered. "I suppose that would be considered fooling history and maybe time as well, Your Excellency.
As for conversation, we didn't attempt to listen to any of them. So we have no information on them in that respect.
If I may, your excellency, are you aware of the future?"
Well, I am glad they don't pry into such info; that would be quite creepy if my 7 subordinates were listening to my convo.
Well, there was no hiding it anyway; they would have been able to infer that with my question.
But I do wonder, 3 people knowing that this world is a novel and 10 people knowing it increases the chances of things going south, so I think I will tell them when I have a stronger information system.
I nodded and said, "To some extent, I am aware of a history that might happen in the future or was supposed to happen, but since I interfered, it might not even happen anymore."
The seven lights nodded. I looked at the seven lights and asked, "I have two favors, you see."
The lights said in unison, "Tell us, Your Excellency."
I continued, "One, I want you to look for certain items that can form a connection with Sefirah Castle. There should be at least 4 of them; they can be in anything like a mirror or a glass vessel or an orb.
Second, I want you to go to Mr. Sun and tell him my honorific name and also keep an eye on a spectator named Hermis."
The lights nodded, and with that, I ended the session.
I had a profound pride and a sense of awe for the God of Steam and Machinery
He had to switch his pathway, create a civilization watch its progress and then cause its end to advance for Paragon
He had done all of this in the 4th epoch!!!
I suppose He wasn't that big of a bum.
************************
The next day, both Elliot and Arthur had reached their home perfectly unscathed.
The woman with her husband was waiting in front of my tent.
As I approached my tent, the woman and her husband glanced at me before bowing down.
For some reason I felt a little awkward as this was happening right in front of my eyes.
I chuckled a little so as to get rid of the awkwardness inside of me and made a bright face with a clown's muscle control.
I then spoke. "I take it Mr. Fool had indeed altered fate for you, Miss."
The woman broke down in tears and said, "Thank you, sir. You truly are a great seer. I don't know how I can repay you for your kindness."
Yep, this is the chance to direct all of this gratitude to Mr. Fool.
I raised the woman and Elliot and said, "I am merely a seer, Miss. It was Mr. Fool who had intervened. It is best that you show your gratitude to Mr. Fool."
Both Elliot and the women left after thanking a little more and inquired if there was a way to thank Mr. Fool as well. To which I had replied with the 10 commandments.
With that over, I went inside my tent. Due to the commotion it had caused, there were a lot of people who wanted to have their future divined
Of course, today the free divination had ended, so I had a lot of paid clients.
