Chapter 112 The Second Fool of the Night Kingdom
Rosen carefully put away the fruit that had grown from Tudor's blood, then turned his gaze to the others and said, "Next, I'm going back to the True Creator. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go with me?"
Although he used the word "you," Rosen's question was clearly primarily directed at Antigonus and Amon.
"Uh, not really unwilling—" Antigonus scratched his head. Although He and the True Creator were enemies in terms of their positions, they did not have any personal grudges, so He really did not have any unwillingness to go. At most, He was just a little awkward.
Antigonus suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Rosen cautiously, asking, "So, does this mean I've betrayed Thudor?"
'
"That's right!" Rosen nodded, looking at Antigonus, and said with a smile, "But I don't mind if you continue to be an undercover agent in the Tudor Empire. Anyway, the loyalty of your three families is just so-so. Even if there are some strange things, as long as you don't rebel openly, Tudor probably won't directly take action against you."
"Ahem—" Antigonus coughed awkwardly, but did not deny it. After all, of the three dukes of the Gou family, apart from Mr. Men who was somewhat concerned about Tudor due to his personality, the other two were basically switching between being trusted confidants and major threats.
But Antigonus felt that he couldn't be blamed. Tudor wasn't a good person to begin with, and he treated Him just so-so. How could one expect Him to be loyal?
"I don't mind being an undercover agent, but if Tudor finds out, I'm confident I can escape, but what if He gets angry and attacks the Night Kingdom?" Antigonus finally asked the question that concerned him most.
As the unique possessor of the Fool, He can run away without any problem, but He can't escape the Kingdom of Night!
"That is indeed a problem—" Rosen stroked his chin, seemingly pondering for a few seconds, then said with a smile, "Little An, would you mind if your followers worshipped another Fool?"
Anchor points of faith are not entirely unshareable. Often, as long as a primary and secondary one is distinguished, such as the sun god and the king of angels who follow him, or the ancient gods and their followers, such actions can allow for the sharing of anchor points of faith to a certain extent.
"Huh?" Antigonus was taken aback. He looked at Rosen, then at Klein beside him, who was slightly embarrassed but clearly not surprised by Rosen's words. He understood.
Sure enough, Rosen's reason for coming to catch him wasn't just to simply capture him as a pet, but also to give this Mr. Fool, who was either just awakened or something else, but clearly lacked an anchor point, some kind of anchor point.
As the creator of the Night Kingdom, Antigonus's first reaction was naturally displeasure, but firstly, he was well aware of his situation.
Secondly, after the recent contact, Antigonus had a basic understanding of Klein's strength. If Klein could really stay in the Night Kingdom permanently, then even if there were Sequence 0s, such as Tudor going mad and attacking the Night Kingdom, with Klein there, plus himself, even if they couldn't be directly repelled, they should be able to withstand the attack without much problem.
In this way, regardless of whether they call on others for help or not, the safety of the Night Kingdom will be greatly increased.
Thinking of this, Antigonus's slightly stiff expression softened. He looked at Klein, considered for a moment, and said cautiously, "The Kingdom of Night is, after all, the kingdom I created. My sister and I have always been the only ones who worship it. Even I can't directly convert them to another god. So, at most, we can only add another god or something similar. Can you accept that?"
This is the truth. Changing one's faith is not as simple as changing restaurants. If Antigonus had actually led his followers to convert to another god, it would likely have caused a major upheaval among them.
"I'm fine with anything." Klein smiled sheepishly, naturally having no objection to it.
For Mr. Fool, it was already quite embarrassing to borrow someone else's faith, so he certainly wouldn't be so shameless as to try to take over.
Antigonus breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Rosen then revealed a satisfied smile.
The idea of having Mr. Fool reside permanently in the Kingdom of Night and seize Antigonus's anchor point was something that had been planned long ago.
After all, things are not like they were in the Third Age, when the Sun God had absolute power. With the Sun God's support, Mr. Fool could easily establish the Church of Fools, preach openly, and gain a foothold in the faith.
Unlike the Fifth Age, when the end times were approaching and the gods chose to concede to the Church of the Fools in order to fight against it—they truly needed a mysterious Lord.
The Fourth Age was an awkward period, as the reign of the sun god had ended, but the end times were still far off.
The True Creator himself was in an awkward position during this period, because the combination of the True Creator and the Black Emperor Solomon, who had once ruled the Sun God and conquered almost half of the Northern Continent during the First Empire of Solomon, was the most feared faction among the other three factions.
Therefore, if a Mr. Fool, who possesses a Source Castle and is, in some ways, equivalent to a Sequence 0, were to actually announce his entry into the Solomon Empire, not to mention the potential infighting, the other three emperors and their supporters would not stand idly by and watch such a significant ally be added. They might very well turn around and start a war over it.
Don't expect the gods of this era to back down because of the Lord of Mysteries. The end times are too far away now, and the gods don't have the same sense of the bigger picture as those of later generations. If their own interests are genuinely threatened, they would probably rather gamble that a new Lord of Mysteries will emerge in the next thousand years.
However, settling in the Night Kingdom is different. On one hand, Antigonus, as half a Fool, is the best cover for Mr. Fool. The combination of the two Fools, with the support of the Source Castle, can achieve a 1+1>2 effect, which can effectively fight against the enemy.
At the same time, Klein is able to suppress the wolf in terms of both ability and intelligence, which can effectively prevent backstabbing.
On the other hand, although Antigonus was loyal to Tudor, the Night Kingdom was indeed somewhat independent of the struggle of the gods, and the Night Kingdom was not as sensitive as the camp of the true creators. Even if someone discovered the truth, it was unlikely that they would come to attack.
The combination of Solomon, the True Creator, and the Fool could potentially regain world dominance, thus inspiring fear and making them a public enemy. However, no Sequence 0 would willingly invite trouble from a Fool who is content with his corner of the world.
This is why Rosen was determined to capture Antigonus after discovering that Klein had awakened in this era.
He needed to find a reliable place for his friends to stay.
