Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Today, Antigonus had muffins for breakfast.

For a demon wolf, breakfast is an unnecessary activity, but for a Pope, an anthropomorphic lifestyle and a healthy and regular schedule can give reassurance to the people around him, and even the entire church and believers.

In the fourteenth century of the Sixth Era, information and intelligence spread at a speed that the old men could not imagine, which placed high demands on Antigonus' ability to play various roles.

In a sense, delicious cakes are also part of maintaining one's personal image.

Muffins are not a specialty or tradition of the Rorsted Islands. To be honest, they are just a small gadget brought by the Loen colonists. Today, with the development of productivity and close national ties, muffins have become a common dessert in the Rorsted Islands.

There are still many people living in the slums in Bayam, who can only start their day with cheap energy bars. Muffins from ordinary bakeries are an improvement in their diet. As a pope of noble status, no matter how expensive the cake is, it can be an ordinary breakfast for Antigonus.

However, from a certain point on, Antigonus rarely asked the kitchen to prepare muffins for breakfast.

That's because there was once a Cube Three who loved to eat muffins. This old Cube Three liked to open the door and come in to give a report during the Pope's breakfast time, and then take the opportunity to steal Antigonus' muffin breakfast, under the pretext of sharing the boss's problems, because the magic wolves don't need muffins to fill their stomachs, but humans do.

Later, Antigonus made a divination and found out that the old Three of Diamonds had bribed the kitchens of the Apostolic Palace and the Cathedral of St. Peter and the Assumption, and chose the mornings to make muffins for him.

During these three centuries, Antigonus had a pretty good temper. As long as the playing cards did their job well and didn't cause any trouble, he would turn a blind eye to these little things.

Unexpectedly, old Three of Diamonds became even more outrageous. He started eating and taking things. Not long after, he even kidnapped a child from somewhere to eat Antigonus' rice together.

"Boss, look what I brought you? This is fresh blood for the organization!"

In this way, Old Diamond Three used the Pope's Office Muffin as bait to kidnap many aspiring young people from all over Roside - the kind with hemorrhoids in their brains - to contribute to this nameless organization of scoundrels codenamed after playing cards.

"Boss, you know me. I'm just a jerk. Of course, I mean, our organization is made up of bastards, lunatics, psychopaths and jerk-offs."

When Antigonus asked old Three of Diamonds why he did this, he gave this answer.

"The souls of us punks are so barren that any stimulation under the normal social system can no longer satisfy our spirits, so we need a constant stream of fun that is different from ordinary people. For this reason, we even have our own unique understanding of the world. These personal survival philosophies often run counter to the universal values ​​of the public.

“We often don’t have anything we really care about, but many people often cause indelible harm to the people they once cared about, making it even more difficult for them to turn back.

"But these children are different. They are my kind, but they are still young, their personalities and thoughts have not yet been finalized, and they have unlimited potential for transformation and training.

"People like us are destined to be evil and become the dregs of society, but I hope that we can still find more talents and rescue them before they make a big mistake that they will regret for a long time, at least to prevent them from hurting the few people or things that they care about.

"From another perspective, I can also dig these people out and use them as cannon fodder for you, Boss, to help you with your worries about the prophecy of God or the crisis of the church."

Antigonus was sure that there were some slang words that were not used in that way.

The old Diamond Three had passed away for some years, and the current Diamond Three was picked up by the old man. He is a sturdy young man with a blond crew cut and a mole on his lip. He has no interest in muffins, otherwise muffins would not be served on his breakfast table so blatantly.

The uneasiness of the moment and the memories of the past came to his mind. Antigonus could not help but flipping the cards over and over again. Finally, he pulled out a card nervously and turned it over.

Seven of Hearts.

He frowned. Something big was about to happen recently. Every time Antigonus divined for a solution, the result he got was this card, the Seven of Hearts.

Therefore, the Seven of Hearts will be an important figure in the next series of events.

Speaking of the Seven of Hearts, the current Seven of Hearts was also picked up by the old Cube when he was very young. Picked up together with him was the giant boy named Derrick.

At that time, the Seven of Hearts and his unrelated big brother depended on each other for survival, wandering around Bayam to make a living. One was flexible in making plans and had a lot of bad intentions, while the other was honest and simple-minded, serving as a smokescreen and a thug when necessary. To put it nicely, these two people were called wanderers, but to put it bluntly, they were swindlers, but this was originally part of wandering life.

The old Three of Diamonds had a very sharp vision, and the Seven of Hearts was definitely a natural born scoundrel, a good candidate for joining the Society of Virtue (of course he didn't think of this name at the time).

It's just a pity for the kid named Derrick, he is an ordinary kid with a kind and honest nature. It would be better if he could take a more normal path instead of going along with this group of freaks.

Antigonus still remembered that night when the little Seven of Hearts held her unconscious big brother in her arms and knelt in front of the old Three of Diamonds, crying and begging him to save her brother.

In fact, the old Three of Diamonds only wanted the Seven of Hearts at that time, saying that as long as he was willing to join the organization, he could let their boss rescue Derrick, but this little guy actually said that if Derrick was not accepted, he would quit.

Old Three of Diamonds could really feel the deep brotherhood between the two men, but he didn't expect that this little jerk would have to drag someone down with him when he jumped into the fire pit.

The misfortune they encountered that day was originally planned by Old Diamond Three. He thought that a proud genius like the Seven of Hearts would not be easily moved by him. So Old Diamond Three used a little trick to trick the Seven of Hearts into losing everything and even lost Derrick.

Due to the despicable means of the adults, the immature Seven of Hearts led Derrick into an unknown ancient site by mistake, and Derrick fell into a coma due to touching the mysterious and strange extraordinary objects. The young Seven of Hearts dragged her unconscious brother all the way to the old Three of Diamonds, and under the guidance of the old Three of Diamonds, she met Antigonus.
