- Lord of the Mysteries v7
- Chapter 39 The Shadow
- At the sight of the shadow, Bernardi had no time to fear, and instinctively held his right hand and condensed an old-fashioned long gun.
- From the tip to the handle, the long gun was stained with clumps or a little dark red, exuded a strong smell of destruction, and seemed to be able to hurt the real gods.
- The gun of Longinus!
- This gun once appeared in an untraceable ancient age, stained with the blood of some great being, and then descended into the mausoleum of the Black Emperor through a "mysterious reappearance".
- However, Bernardi's piercing forward had no effect, for the tip of the gun pointed behind her.
- It was clear that she was going to attack the shadow in front of her, but the gun of Longinus was strangely handed back.
- There seems to be confusion or distortion on the front, back, left and right sides of the area.
- Above the fog, Klein in the interior of the palace noticed that when the shadow stood out in front of Bernadette, he did not hesitate to raise the staff of the Stars in his hand.
- At this moment, he did not wait, not as before to see what the "mystery queen" would do before considering whether or not to provide protection, because the danger of the shadow gave him a clear premonition of the angel of the "fortune teller" path.
- In addition, more importantly, after Bernardi entered the mausoleum of the Black Emperor, he could feel the shadow from time to time, and Klein could not find any clues with the real vision provided by the Source Castle.
- There is no doubt that this means terrible and dangerous.
- When the various gems inlaid at the top of the black walking stick lit up respectively, melodious bells rang in the area where Bernardi and the shadow were located.
- When!
- The indescribable emptiness of the bell from infinity led to visible stagnation and solidification within the Black Emperor, leaving Bernardi's figure frozen and stiff, unable to do anything.
- However, the shadow did not fall into the whirlpool of time, as if it were in a world with completely different rules at the bottom, and the shadow swam forward between the two contradictory rivers of fate between the surging current and the near-stillness.
- This makes it look like it just slows down and is not affected by the illusory bells.
- This is the first time Klein has encountered a similar situation since he was able to simulate this ability.
- Although the extraordinary effect of his simulation through the Star staff is certainly not small different from that of the original, in any case, it can still show a certain degree of authority, which is not so easy to ignore.
- However, the slowdown of the Shadow movement also gave him a chance to continue his second attempt.
- This time, he inspired the ability of the Star staff itself, intending to transfer the Mystery Queen out of the Black Emperor's mausoleum and let her sum up her experience before considering whether to enter.
- In the twinkling of the jewels at the top of the staff, Bernardi's body almost disappeared with the shadow.
- The next second, she appeared dozens of meters away, near the high platform in the mausoleum.
- The transfer of the Star staff has been disturbed, the intended target location has been distorted, and everything appears to be extremely chaotic.
- Bernardi was experienced and did not feel frightened or panicked because she was stranded inside the Black Emperor. She immediately raised her left hand and pressed the "sage's forehead" to the center of her forehead. She crossed the mask of "pale death" with her finger.
- The shiny metallic mask suddenly softened and wriggled quickly, as if to form a face that did not belong to Bernadette.
- The face has soft features and distinct southern continental features, but it gives an extremely strange and terrible feeling that every eyewitness believes that once the outline of the face becomes clear enough, it will come back to life, from ancient times, from the eternal dark land where the dead sleep.
- At that time, Bernardi's body, spirit and consciousness will all belong to this face.
- With the prominence of this face, the stone walls and floor tiles inside the mausoleum of the Black Emperor began to weathering, as if they had been washed away for thousands of years in just a second or two.
- They quickly become mottled, falling debris or dust raised by the wind, and tiny pale hairs grow between the cracks.
- The fluff grew into white feathers in the blink of an eye, and the surface seemed to be covered with yellowish oil.
- The smell of the black figure is also declining a little bit, as if striding towards the end of death.
- Its color is obviously faded, and its action is getting slower and slower.
- Within the scope of the pale mask, even the concept of "death" itself weathered away.
- However, the sign of "death" is not the end. When the stone walls and floor tiles inside the mausoleum are weathered to a certain extent, when the black figure decays to a certain stage, new stones begin to be formed, and the ethereal breath grows rapidly.
- In the process, the black figure leaned out of his right hand.
- The pure shadow of the palm of the hand was tens of meters away, and it pinched Bernardi's neck at once!
- This is not achieved by the length of the arm, but at that moment, the concept of distance was confused, 45 meters equals 45 centimeters.
- The dark palm did not exert much force, but made Bernardi feel cold for a while.
- In such coldness, she found that she could no longer make use of the "0" seals of "sage forehead" and "pale death".
- Normally, as long as she infuses spirituality and gives corresponding thoughts, the seal on her body will react correctly and create a different effect, but now the default process and rules are disturbed and distorted, no matter how Bernardi turns her mind. I can't make the seals move at all.
- It's like she's talking to the air.
- Klein above the gray fog did not really succeed in his attempt to transfer the Mystery Queen, but without delay, he immediately sketched out a series of complex symbols and magic symbols in his mind.
- What he wants to simulate is the "space concealment" of the Secret Master, ready to separate Bernardi's place from the mausoleum of the Black Emperor and make a concealment, so as to help the "mysterious queen" out of her current predicament.
- In fact, it may be more appropriate to simulate the fairy tale magic of "the Source of Peach Blossom" at this time, but considering that Bernardi used to be a "mystic", Klein thought it would be better to use "space to hide". Otherwise, it might expose the secrets of the fool.
- As for where "space hiding" is learned, of course, it is the newly promoted "magician" Falth.
- Before that, Klein took "the world" German. In the name of Sparrow, rented "Lymano's travel notes" and asked Miss Magician to "record" the corresponding abilities in advance.
- Then, he released again and again, recorded again and again, recalled the complete "travel notes" again and again from the fog of history, and soon mastered the knowledge and skills to simulate spells such as "space hiding".
- With the light of several gems on the staff of the Star, Bernardi's area became a little deeper, as if shrouded in a curtain of shadows.
- A twist of the curtain hides the space, isolating the black shadow from the palm of its hand.
- This helped Bernardi's neck regain her freedom.
- The next second, the dark palm, which was forcibly separated, looked forward again and touched the boundary of the hidden space.
- All of a sudden, there was a transparent swirl-like "door" in the abnormal void, or the pre-existing "door" swam actively from a hidden place and opened in front of the dark palm.
- All hidden spaces must have a door, but the location of the door depends on what the creator thinks.
- The palm of the shadowed hand quickly passed through the open "door" into the hidden space, grabbed Bernardi's neck again, and once again interfered with the connection between the "mysterious queen" and the seal on her body, distorting the corresponding order.
- At the same time, the black figure raised his head and looked at the top of the mausoleum.
- It seems to be examining Klein in "Source Castle" and "Source Castle" through layers of time and space and fog.
- Klein's eyelids instinctively jumped.
- He felt that the shadow knew something about this place and felt that the other side was twisting something.
- Klein's expression became very heavy before he knew it, and different kinds of gems lit up at the same time on the "star staff" in his hand.
- He wants to try to "steal" the other person's extraordinary abilities, and only in this way can he have a chance to restrain the shadow.
- In order to improve the success rate of "stealing" to the target, Klein turned his left hand and tapped on the edge of the mottled long table.
- However, his "theft" still failed and even gained nothing.
- Because his target has long been out of lock.
- The shadow is clearly still in place, but it has got rid of the lock!
- Klein's eyes suddenly froze, and then he saw the shadow flash into the hidden space, narrowing the distance with Bernardi.
- This. It distorted my real vision, causing me to see a state of the last second or even two seconds. Klein had a flash of thought, made a preliminary judgment on the failure, and decided to summon will. Onsetin's historical pore image allows him to "restart" what is happening in this area.
- At this moment, Bernadette, who could not use the seal, let the white, illusory swan feathers grow behind her.
- This is the "ugly duckling" in fairy tale magic, which allows Bernardi to reveal an incomplete mythological ecology while staying awake, twice a day for 15 seconds each time.
- Just then, her thoughts became restless again, boiled one after another, and accelerated into confusion.
- This led to the interruption of her "ugly duckling" magic before it could take effect.
- Almost at the same time, she saw the shadow stick to her, soaking in like a sticky, strongly corrosive liquid.
- Bernadette's eyes sank, and suddenly she felt something. Seizing the last moment of lucid thinking, she slightly opened her mouth and pronounced a Chinese word in a correct and round accent:
- "hometown."
- The erosion of the shadow came to a standstill, and its upper body slowly lifted up and looked at Bernardi.
- Chapter 40 Seals
- The black figure stiffened there, loosening the palm of the hand that pinched Bernadette's neck, as if gazing at the "mysterious queen" with eyes that did not exist.
- A dry, hoarse voice then echoed in the hidden space:
- "hometown."
- The voice had a little hesitation, a little daze, a little sense of seeking confirmation, as if it were coming from another world.
- Bernardi's erosion disappeared, and her connection to her seal was instantly restored.
- The pale death began to let her die again, which helped her resist the gradual confusion of her thoughts and maintain her basic sobriety and sanity.
- Just as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, the black figure suddenly stretched out her hand again.
- But this time, instead of pinching Bernardi's neck, it gave a heavy push.
- This push was accompanied by the collapse of the hidden space, a voice with an obvious sense of pain, as if resisting something:
- "leave!"
- With the echo of the sound, the black figure disappeared into the same place.
- After a moment, it appeared on the high platform in the center and sat on the huge iron-black high-backed chair.
- Its face immediately split into two cracks, as if it had grown two asymmetrical eyes.
- However, the "eyes" had no pupils and were full of blood.
- Then, there is a crack in the bottom of the two "eyes", which is also filled with pure blood-red light.
- This makes the black figure finally have a "mouth".
- It was facing Bernardi, and there was a sound around it, with a clear hint of pain, as if it were resisting something:
- "get out of here!"
- Bernardi easily gained her foothold after being pushed for more than ten meters, but did not follow the order of the voice and left the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor." she stood there, staring at the central platform and the black figure, with an expression of sadness that is difficult to hide and does not want to hide.
- She could sense it, and she was sure that the black figure was her father, the man who called himself Caesar, Rossell. Gustav.
- The next second, there were more cracks in the black figure, and they bloomed blood-red flowers all the way down from the head to different parts of the body.
- This left Rossell as if there was only a shadow, wrapped in a mass of blood-red things that gave off pure brilliance.
- Seeing this, Klein, who was above the gray fog, naturally thought of the red moon in the sky.
- At this time, Rossell seems to be the embodiment of the shadow, trying to cover the red moon, but was torn one after another, so that more and more moonlight into the reality.
- When these openings are connected, the shadow will crack completely and give birth to a brand-new red moon.
- At that time, terrible things are bound to happen.
- Just then, Rossell's black figure became illusory, as if it had become some kind of illusion.
- This makes him look as if he is isolated in another world, with an invisible barrier to reality.
- Then Rossell laboriously raised his shadowy right arm and pinched his forehead.
- The frequency of the blood-red cracks in his body suddenly dropped to the extreme, but the pre-existing "eyes" began to blink, again and again.
- However, this does not have a bad impact on the surrounding, it seems to be a simple change of order-the trend of "rebirth" of blood-red cracks has been distorted to the original gradually active.
- When this was done, Russell raised his head and looked at Bernardi, dozens of meters away, with a dry, husky smile:
- "you've really become a big shot in the mysterious world. You can come here by yourself.
- "come here and let me see what my little princess looks like now."
- Bernardi's eyes flushed and stepped forward.
- Rossell laughed again:
- "when I got you picture books, compiled teaching materials, and invented all kinds of Mini Game, you were only a little old, and now you can come and save your poor old father.
- "I remember that when you were a child, you liked all kinds of clothes I designed for you. Unfortunately, when you grow up, you can no longer wear cake skirts."
- The emperor babbled as if he had come to the twilight years of his life and always liked to recall the good pictures of the past.
- Bernardi walked faster and faster, and Klein frowned invisibly above the fog.
- Suddenly, Rossell the Great buried his head a little and said very hard:
- "stop!"
- His voice was filled with indescribable pain.
- Bernardi was stunned for a moment, slowed down quickly, and stopped.
- There was an indescribable sadness in her eyes as she looked at the shadow.
- Rossell raised his head again and coughed:
- "do you really want to ask why the Black Emperor's mausoleum should be engraved with his own order and guided fashion? in fact, this is not necessary. I just want the viewer to remember my greatness."
- As soon as he spoke, the emperor clasped the handrail next to him, pressed his voice, and said with great pain:
- "No, come near!
- "I'm contaminated."
- The sadness in Bernardi's eyes was a little thicker.
- Her guess just now was finally confirmed.
- At this time, there was confusion in the bright red cracks on Rossell's face, sometimes "closed" and sometimes "open", and there was no longer a unified will.
- The emperor seized the opportunity, straightened up a little, looked at Bernardi, and shouted with some difficulty:
- "seal me!"
- Seal. Bernardi, the "mysterious queen", repeated the word silently, and her blue eyes quickly became moist and faintly foggy.
- Even if she has lived for many years, even if she is not the original little girl, she still can not stop the change of inner mood at this moment.
- However, without asking why or hesitating, she raised her right hand firmly and unswervingly, and pressed it against the pale metal mask.
- She made an extraordinarily calm decision as she did in the face of all the major events in "Factor Dawn" over the years.
- On the "pale death" surface, the metal softens instantly, reorganizes a new face, and has a pair of black eyes.
- In these dark eyes, pale lines stand out, outlining extremely complex and mysterious three-dimensional symbols, like a bird with long feathers or a coiled snake.
- The symbol absorbs the light around it, quickly becomes a body, then breaks away from Bernardi's eyes, stretches its "body" and flies to Rossell on the iron-black seat. Gustav.
- Along the way, this strange symbol darkens the surroundings, making the floor tiles and stone walls once again weathered and decayed, just like the god in charge of death made the final judgment.
- The falling gravel and the rising dust followed the materialized symbol to Rossell, then coiled up and wrapped around the rather illusory black figure that seemed to be in another world.
- Several times in the process, Russell could not help himself and tried to get out of the iron-black seat, but sat back without confronting the seal imposed by Bernadette.
- As the symbol melted into his figure, he immediately made a connection with the "pale death", saw the illusory gods above countless undead, and saw the swollen body wandering like water ghosts in a dark river.
- The breath of Rossell faded away, and the bright red cracks closed one after another.
- Waiting in front of the Great is a peaceful sleep like the night.
- And that symbol will be solidified in Rossell's shadow and will always exert influence until Pale death no longer responds here.
- That is, in the blink of an eye, Rossell grew a few more blood-red cracks, and after the extreme decline, his breath gradually glowed with rebirth, fiercely against the physical symbol.
- Klein above the fog sighed and clenched his fist against his mouth.
- The "curtain" he was wearing suddenly rose, and there was an obvious "boiling" in the whole "source fortress".
- In silence, the breath of Rossell's new life began to fade away.
- After disappearing to a certain extent, it was reborn again, and then continued to disappear under the influence of the "pale death".
- Klein used the extraordinary characteristics of the "secret waiter" and the power of the "source fortress" to "graft" new life and death directly, omitting the intermediate process.
- As a result, Rossell's pollution could not be recovered to the extent that he could break the pale seal.
- Then, Klein stretched out his right hand, mobilized the strength of "Source Castle" and outlined in front of him the mysterious symbol behind the "Fool" high-back chair, which consists of half a "pupil-free eye" and half a "twisted line".
- The symbol absorbed the smell of "Source Castle" and quickly became an entity, and with a stroke of the wrist, Klein fell into the prayer spot on behalf of Bernadette, fell on Rossell's black figure, and melted into his body.
- Whenever that kind of "grafting" is about to disappear, the symbol directly related to "fool" and "source fortress" will attract new strength to complete the grafting again.
- In his state of constant passing and rebirth, Russell had the outline of his facial features like a pure shadow, and then he looked up at the top of the mausoleum, as if overlooking infinity.
- He immediately looked back at Bernardi, smiling with an unusually weak voice:
- "this seal is good, so I can have a quiet sleep."
- At this point, he frowned slightly and asked in a changed tone:
- "Why are you dressed like that? who taught you that?"
- Bernardi listened in a trance, as if she had returned to her youth.
- At that time, whenever she dressed up to attend other aristocratic balls, Rossell would ask a series of questions with a similar expression and tone.
- The fog in her eyes became obvious, and she could no longer control herself, and let out a low, repressed cry:
- "Dad."
- Rossell's face, with only the outline of his facial features, softened in an instant, then stiffened up and said harshly:
- "go away.
- "never come back!"
- Bernardi opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, and it was dark before her eyes, as if she saw the shadow of order.
- The next second, she found herself back on the edge of the original island.
- Bernadette stared at the peak in the middle of the original island for a few seconds, then slowly turned her body and went to the sea.
- This time, she is no longer stubbornly not to look back, every few steps, she will pause, turn around and take a look.
- Soon she returned to the Dawn, went into the captain's room and opened the room dedicated to collection.
- At a glance, Bernardi saw picture books, stacks of textbooks, clothes, skirts, chess that only a few people knew in the world, and neatly stacked building block toys.
- She leaned her back against the wooden door and slowly shrank down and sat down on the floor.
- She looked up at the gloomy sky outside the captain's window, squeezed her lower lip with her right thumb and forefinger, and whistled a melodious, gentle, calming melody with a touch of sadness.
- As the melody reverberated, drop after drop fell from Bernardi's face and onto the surface of the floor.
- I don't know how long later, there was a sound in the captain's room like a pressure in his throat:
- "Dad."
- Chapter 41—Meeting
- In the middle of the primitive island, in the mausoleum of the Black Emperor.
- Rossell, who had sent Bernardi away, did not immediately fall into a deep sleep, but slowly raised his head and looked up to infinity again.
- Klein above the fog sighed silently, put down the Star staff, took a picture of the paper man, and shook his hand.
- In the sound of "bang", the paper man rapidly thickened, expanded, and flew into the translucent whirlpool of illusory mysterious symbols next to the "fool" seat.
- Although Bernardi has been moved to the edge of the original island, Klein can no longer see the inside of the Black Emperor's mausoleum through the prayer spot on her behalf, but he can maintain some contact with the Emperor with the help of the "fool" symbol that has been integrated into Rossell's figure.
- After penetrating the slowly rotating whirlpool, the paper man came to the interior of the mausoleum where the light source came from out of nowhere, and became a human being in front of the central high platform.
- This human has black hair and brown pupil, with German. Sparrow is somewhat similar, but the outline is not hard enough, the lines are not deep enough, the temperament is not cold enough, and there are certain differences in facial features. There is also a small amount of social fat on the chin and belly, which is the original image of Zhou Mingrui of Klein. It is the one hanging inside the Source Castle, and Rossell. Huang Tao. Gustav has been a roommate of Zhou Mingrui for thousands of years.
- Rossell was not surprised at his appearance. Pressing one hand on the handrail, he leaned forward and looked at him and said:
- "there you are."
- "I'm coming." Klein nodded slightly invisibly.
- "you shouldn't have come." Rossell sighed.
- "I'm already here." Klein naturally caught the stem.
- Russell thoroughly confirmed the origin of the guy in front of him, and while getting his sitting position back to normal, he chuckled:
- "I was going to ask you where you are from to see if you need to do regional discrimination, but after thinking about it, there is no need for it. They all do not belong to this era, and there are no wretches in your hometown."
- Without waiting for Klein to respond, the emperor sank his voice and asked:
- "do you know the truth about the end?"
- "I see." Klein nodded gently.
- Rossell continued to ask:
- "do you know this is the earth?"
- "Hmm." Klein replied calmly.
- Hearing the words, Rossell laughed at himself and said:
- "I can't believe you knew so early. I didn't dare to confirm it until I went to the moon and saw the true face of the planet from above."
- At this point, the emperor sighed and said:
- "it was so weird on the moon that I clearly felt the horror, but I didn't think about whether I would be polluted at all, and then, more and more extreme, more and more extreme.
- "however, I occasionally get some sobriety from the opinions of the people around me, but I dare not keep a diary in that state for fear of revealing secrets and losing my last chance.
- "I finally decided to use all kinds of groundwork before and turn to the path of the 'Black Emperor'. Except because the end is coming, only sequence 0 can protect the people who want to protect, take them to other planets in the vast universe, and use the corresponding authority to rebuild a whole set of order for human survival in desolate and dead places, and because the 'Black Emperor' 's' resurrection 'miracles let me see the hope of getting rid of pollution.
- "as long as I can be really killed after I become a sequence 0 'black emperor' and half crazy, then I will have a chance to be resurrected in the mausoleum or in the astral realm, and at that time, what will return to me will be pure 'uniqueness' and three parts of sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics, no longer the slightest pollution, no longer contain unstoppable madness.
- "speaking of which, the 'eternal sun' and the 'god of steam and machinery' were used by me to some extent.
- "however, the horrors of the old days were beyond my imagination, and my resurrection was accompanied by pollution that brought me back to life. Perhaps, only the old can fight against the old.
- "I have to stop the process of resurrection, live in the last mausoleum in this state, and not let the old days be born in the real world with the help of my body, which will lead to a devastating disaster."
- Combining what he had known and what had just happened, Klein, who had made some guesses about the state of Rossell the Great, was not surprised at all, and calmly replied:
- "the outer god who pollutes you is called the fallen Mother God, and he has bewitched many believers with the incarnation of the primitive moon."
- The facial features faintly appeared on Rossell's face suddenly changed slightly.
- He was silent for a few seconds and said:
- "I know the primitive moon, but I don't know that his real name is the fallen Mother.
- "now when I think about it, maybe it's no accident that I can find Mr. door asking for help."
- Hearing this, Klein was so frightened that he immediately remembered what was going on on the outer island, and had some foreknowledge of what Rossell the Great was going to say.
- Rossell sighed with a smile:
- "the biggest problem in the first half of my life was that I was too confident. I always had the feeling that I could read the file all over again at any time. I didn't look at a lot of details enough.
- "at the beginning, Green was polluted by the strange forces on the island. He came back here after death and was reborn. Isn't that the influence of the 'primitive moon'? After I finished all kinds of tests and purified accordingly, I felt that I had no problem, but in fact, fate might have changed a little at that moment, which led me to run into Mr. Gate. He led me to the moon step by step.
- "I can't blame Mr. Men. He may be in worse shape than I am now."
- Does the Great mean that he has been targeted by the "fallen Mother" since he discovered the primitive island? Klein sighed:
- "at that time, who would have thought the problem would be so serious?"
- Before sequence 2, understanding the "starry sky" and the old days itself will bring terrible pollution, without understanding that in some cases, it is impossible to accurately judge how serious the problem is and how to make up for it afterwards. This led Rossell to regard the primitive island as his secret base and did not tell him what had happened here and was qualified to know about the existence of alien gods, the old days and the "starry sky".
- "Yes." Rossell seems gratified that he has made a mistake that almost everyone can make.
- He immediately said:
- "in that ancient secret organization, there is little mention of the old days and foreign gods."
- Then Rossell paused and said:
- "you should have read my diary and know that the ancient secret organization is a reference."
- Klein nodded and said:
- "I know which organization it refers to, but I didn't expect you to mention the name of his organization when you have the personality of sequence 0."
- "I always think that he is not simple, and that foreign gods may have an understanding that we cannot imagine, so it is better to be cautious. After all, I am not a complete sequence of true gods." After Russell said a few words, his vaguely visible brow suddenly frowned. "how many diaries have you read?"
- If the atmosphere had not been so depressing and desolate, Klein would have been tempted to laugh at the fellow-villager Rossell by saying, "the witch tastes really good."
- At last he answered calmly:
- "A lot.
- After spitting out the two words, he added casually:
- "I also collected several 'blasphemous cards'."
- "which ones?" Rossell blurted out.
- Klein controlled the expression of the paper man above the fog and said without any ups and downs:
- "the Black Emperor, the tyrant, the Red Priest and the Fool."
- "Whoa." Rossell exhaled, and the faint frown loosened. "it's a good thing it's not the 'witch' card, the 'moon' card and the 'mother' card."
- You wanted to mention it yourself. Klein did not respond and just looked at the Emperor like that.
- Rossell noticed it after he had finished, and hurriedly coughed:
- "all have watched the live broadcast, so it should be very clear how normal this is."
- As he spoke, he coughed again and sighed:
- "which way are you extraordinary?"
- "A diviner." Klein replied succinctly.
- Rossell was silent and said after a few seconds:
- "Unfortunately, if everyone is in a normal state, it is up to you to get a big-screen TV and a game console out of the hole in history, and everyone will play and chat at the same time. This is the romance of a man. "
- Unfortunately, there is no electricity, it is up to you to invent. Klein did not utter the words in his heart, but said in the same tone:
- "I hope one day."
- Then he put the topic on the right track:
- "I wonder why the blasphemy card you made can't be found by the gods. This degree of anti-divination and anti-prophecy is amazing. "
- Rossell suddenly chuckled and said:
- "because knowledge can bring power, power can also give knowledge, this is the power of the 'emperor of knowledge'.
- "when I attach the magic potions of 22 ways to power, they naturally produce the power of aggregation among extraordinary characteristics, and have some degree of anti-divination and anti-prophecy effect.
- "then, with."
- As he spoke, Rossell paused suddenly, as if aware of something wrong.
- After a second or two, he said in a somewhat erratic voice:
- "the blasphemy card was made a year before I held the Black Emperor ceremony, when I had already suffered from the pollution of the 'primitive moon' and had no corresponding knowledge of myself most of the time.
- "Why can these twenty-two cards be so impossible for the gods to find?"
- The rhetorical question tightened Klein's spirit above the gray fog, and once again he felt a slight numbness in his scalp.
- Before he could manipulate the paper man to respond, Rossell's voice suddenly rose with a touch of indescribable fear:
- "Don't collect all twenty-two cards!
- "be careful of the 'mother' card!"
- These two words reverberated in the deep mausoleum of the "Black Emperor" and did not quell for a long time.
- Chapter 42 Goodbye
- Klein's pupils above the fog were instantly dilated, and subconsciously he looked down at the long mottled table in front of him.
- There are four "blasphemous cards" with different patterns on the back.
- At this moment, he was a little scared and a little lucky, feeling that he had wandered around the edge of the abyss blindfolded for several times, but never fell.
- If he devoted himself to collecting "blasphemous cards" and collected 22 cards, or got the "mother" cards, with his habit of accommodating different cards and acquiring corresponding personalities and traits, he might have been eroded by the "fallen mother". I don't know what I'm giving birth to.
- However, I am not Rossell, even if there is a "mother" card, it should not be accommodated, and, in order not to be found by the gods, the "blasphemy card" is very difficult to collect, almost impossible to put together. This seems to be a random arrangement made by the "fallen Mother God". If anyone unfortunately gets the "Mother" card, it will become one of the hidden dangers in the world. Klein withdrew his eyes and continued to look at Rossell on the iron-black seat through his stand-in paper man. Gustav.
- At this time, Rossell's body rose slightly, and his voice was sometimes low and sometimes high:
- "all things have divinity.
- "at first he was alive, living in everyone's body!"
- Klein frowned slightly, not knowing whether it was Rossell or the red moon inside him.
- He not only had a certain understanding of this secret, but also personally experienced and experienced it, and now it is not so scary and frightening, but it is only reminiscent of the Aurora teachings he has seen before:
- They preach that the Creator is everywhere and exists in every creature, so everything has divinity, and divinity is rich enough to become an angel, and now the right God is just a more powerful angel. For ordinary people, as long as they can grasp that the essence of life is spiritual travel, consciously train the spirit, strengthen the spirit, find their own divinity, and become one with more divinity, they can get rid of the mortal body and become an angel.
- At first, I just thought that the Aurora cult had a complete set of occult and religious theories, which was as formal as the orthodox church, but now it can interpret the truth hidden in those words. In a way, it's really true, the only question is whether it's yourself or not after integrating more divinity. The "true Creator" has put one of the deepest secrets of the world into his own teachings, not afraid of which believer has a sudden epiphany, knowing the pollution of the earth and being eroded into one of the containers of the original resurrection? This "hanging upside down" is really a little crazy, reason is not always online. Klein muttered a few words to himself, waiting for Rossell to say more.
- Two or three seconds later, Rossell, who was always wandering between sleep and rebirth, sat back on the iron-black throne, gasped for breath and said nothing.
- Klein immediately manipulated the paper man to open his mouth and said:
- "which of the words you just said should be believed and which should be guarded against?"
- Rossell smiled and said:
- "think for yourself.
- "Oh, isn't that the way you diviners talk?"
- Instead of waiting for Klein's answer, he said to himself:
- "when I made the mask of 'pale death', I noticed one thing: the god of death in the Quaternary may not have completely fallen, and there was more than one resurrection foreshadowing, some of which may have something to do with the 'river of eternal darkness'. Hehe, death is definitely not so easy to die …."
- Speaking of which, Rossell looked at Klein under the high platform and said:
- "sure enough, only by choosing the path of 'diviner', 'apprentice' or 'thief' can the traveler enter the Fortress. By the time I guessed this factor, it was too late.
- "I don't know if you want to be a thing of the past, and I don't know if it requires ritual. I can only tell you that it must be more dangerous than becoming a god. I don't know how many times more dangerous it is. Maybe the one who saved us and put us into reality is right there waiting for you.
- "the only advice I can give you is to communicate with the genie in the wishing Lamp before you try to do so."
- Genie? Take advantage of his feud with the Blessed one to get some help? Klein nodded gently and said:
- "good."
- After hearing his answer, Rossell sighed and smiled and said:
- "if you can really become the old days, you can consider saving me. Only the old days can fight the old days."
- At this point, he was silent for a moment, and his speech slowed down noticeably:
- "if you can't even get me out of the pollution of the 'primitive moon' completely, then remember to erase me, destroy this mausoleum, and support a new 'black emperor' so that I can never be resurrected."
- The light inside the mausoleum seemed to have dimmed a little more, and Klein said in silence for two seconds:
- "I won't forget it."
- Rossell fell silent and laughed at himself after a few seconds:
- "of course, you have to save me a few more times before that."
- Instead of making Klein smile, this humor made his heart so heavy that he could not speak.
- Instead of continuing the topic, Rossell said with recollection:
- "my wife has passed away a long time ago, and all the mistresses I once had must have their own endings. For them, I am sorry. I have never really loved them. I just lust for their faces and enjoy the joy.
- "I don't have an illegitimate child, and an extraordinary person still has a say in this matter. as for those ladies before they become extraordinary, I think those ladies must be like me, just lust for the appearance and body of young people, and enjoy that kind of pleasure. It won't leave you any trouble.
- "my eldest son, the Shire, should have died for many years. I don't know how many descendants have been left behind. My second son Bonova, if nothing happens, must be an angel now. For him, my feelings are very complicated. On the one hand, I am very cold, very disappointed, and hate very much. On the other hand, I occasionally secretly care about him. I remember that when he was a child, in the first few years of his birth, he was really lovely.
- "my eldest daughter, Bernadette, you have seen, is not it beautiful? She has been beautiful, clever and clever since childhood. She knows how to be filial to her old father, loves her younger brother, and loves her mother. Sometimes, she is very upright and looks a little silly. Several times, when I played chess or games with her, I cheated and teased her secretly. She didn't even notice. Such a temper made it difficult for her to accept some of the things I did. Of course, now she can blame the original Moon for his pollution. I still have to thank him for this.
- "I don't know what position I should take to make a request to you. After all, I have never helped you, and I have no friendship with you. I just come from the same time, the same place, and have some fellow-townsman feelings."
- Hearing this, Klein said in a low voice:
- "your diary has given me a great help, so that I can master a lot of high-level knowledge when I am weak, so as to avoid a lot of danger and make targeted efforts.
- "also, those 'blasphemous cards' play different roles at different stages."
- "can we not mention the diary?" Rossell coughed. "but I did leave a message to the next trader later on. The only thing I'm not sure is which language you know."
- The emperor exhaled slowly and then said:
- "my request is to look after Bernardi for me, and to provide some help when she needs it.
- "although she is about to be a real big shot in the mysterious world, as a father, I still can't rest assured."
- Without hesitation, Klein asked the paper man to answer directly:
- "I'll take care of her for you."
- ". Hiss, why does that sound a little awkward? " Russell's tone suddenly became a little strange. "by the way, I haven't asked your name yet. as for me, you should know very well, Huang Tao."
- "Zhou Mingrui." Klein replied calmly.
- "are you married? Do you have any children? How old are you? " Rossell asked three questions in one breath.
- Emperor, why are you acting like a neighbor aunt? Klein shook his head and gave a very succinct answer:
- "No."
- Rossell fell silent again, and after a while he said:
- "you and my contemporaries, Bernardi, should call you Uncle Zhou.
- "well."
- As he spoke, there was an inexplicable touch of pity in Rossell's tone:
- "when I came to this era, at first I took it all as a game and had a good time, but occasionally I thought back to my hometown and the past that developed most of my personalities and hobbies.
- "the longer you live, the more frequently this feeling occurs, just like the fallen leaves always return to the roots of the tree, but at least I have a daughter, a wife and two sons. I still have a lot of concerns and a sense of belonging in this world, and you …. I can feel your loneliness, the loneliness that comes out of your bones. "
- At this point, Rossell suddenly sighed:
- "if only we had all lived in the original era, I would go to work on time every day and work overtime from time to time. Once I have spare time, I would go to see my daughter for interest class, pick her up, and bring my wife what she has repeatedly told her to do on weekends. Or go out to play, or go to her parents' house, or go to my parents' house to accompany the elderly.
- "when you are exhausted by life one day, using your friend's treat as an excuse, several big men will sit on the street together, eat some kebabs, drink some wine, brag, scold their superiors, and reflect on their high-spirited boyhood. Urge you to find a girlfriend as soon as possible. When I wake up drunk the next day, I can deal with life with enthusiasm again. "
- Klein listened quietly without interrupting the emperor's chatter.
- Rossell's voice gradually dropped, then smiled and said:
- "good-bye, my friend.
- "I hope there will be a day of good-bye."
- His figure was fast and illusory, as if he had disappeared in the current world, leaving only a shadow hovering on the iron-black throne.
- Rossell. Gustav returned to eternal sleep.
- Chapter 43—Door Guidance
- After sailing around the pristine island three times, the Dawn finally sailed into the distance shrouded in the storm.
- Bernardi slowly withdrew her eyes and set her eyes on the "brow of the sage" floating in the air.
- As a "master of prophecy", she clearly saw the opportunity for promotion and knew that she had completed the corresponding ceremony to prevent a disaster involving high-level power.
- But the price is to seal his father with his own hands, missing his father for more than a hundred years and pursuing his father for more than a hundred years.
- "this is a wonderful irony." Bernardi looked at the diamond-inlaid vertical eyes and sighed with a slight sigh.
- After leaving Intis, she had two main wishes: one was to find out the truth of those things to see if she had misunderstood her father, and the other was to follow in her father's footsteps to see what he had experienced and whether there was any possibility of resurrection.
- The first wish, Bernardi, had been fulfilled, and the truth was that she had indeed misunderstood her father. This made her less painful, less entangled, and her resentment against her father dispelled completely, but added a lot of guilt.
- With such guilt and longing for a long time, she tried to realize her second wish, but the final result was not very good.
- If there had been no hope, she might not have had such a strong emotional reaction, but she clearly saw the dawn and saw her father, but she had to put him back to sleep with her own hands.
- After a long silence, Bernadette's eyes, which were slightly out of focus, became clear again.
- She no longer hesitated, blamed herself, stopped producing all kinds of negative emotions, firmly raised her right hand, sketched out one starry old word after another in the empty sky, and summoned the spirit world creature with the wind of the lower body of the upper body. take back some of the auxiliary materials of the "sage" potion from it.
- As for the rest, because there is no need for special preservation, it is in the collection room of Dawn.
- It wasn't long before Bernardi shattered the Sage's forehead with the help of Pale death and prepared the potion that would allow her to rise to sequence 2.
- Looking at the bubbles in her eyes, and in each bubble there was a "sage" potion with a transparent eye hidden in it, Bernardi resolutely raised her right hand and brought the glass bottle to her mouth.
- She knew that what was needed at this time was not sadness or hypocrisy, but a strong heart and a strong will to move forward, because a higher sequence and stronger strength were needed to help her father Rossell the Great get rid of pollution and resurrect completely.
- To this end, she is willing to bury the pain to the deepest part of her heart, not to let it affect her mental state, and to turn it out and savor it alone only when there is no one at night.
- With the entrance of the "sage" potion, Bernardi's body became illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye.
- She decomposed into strands of knowledge and changed to the existence form of the torrent of information.
- The whole Dawn, and even the surrounding winds, torrential rains, lightning, sea water and waves have lost their sense of reality, as if restored to the bottom of the most authentic all kinds of information.
- For the vast majority of sequence 3 of the "voyeur" approach, such a state is very dangerous, if the will is not strong enough, luck is not good enough, and preparation is not well prepared, the torrent of knowledge formed by itself will be infiltrated by all kinds of external information in a few seconds. Scour, assimilation, rapid loss of consciousness, can no longer reorganize the body, into a very strange and difficult monster in the occult:
- Knowledge leprechaun!
- This is also called "information biology".
- Relying on the "sage forehead decoration", Bernardi has incarnated a torrent of information many times, although it is limited to two or three seconds and will not last long, but she has some experience, at this time, she tries her best to maintain the existence of her own consciousness. and established some connection with the spiritual information that prevented a high-level disaster.
- Those messages have her distinct brand, and involve a very high level, appear to be unusually "solid", and will not be dispersed by other information in a short period of time, helping her to initially stabilize her consciousness and gather up the torrent of Noumenon information that diverges and dilutes little by little.
- In the process, Klein above the fog tapped the edge of the mottled table with the help of a specially marked prayer spot, using the ability of the miracle master to change the probability of certain things to a certain extent, giving Bernardi a certain amount of good luck.
- As time went by, Bernardi hovered on the brink of loss of consciousness several times, but finally survived, gathered all her own information and began to reorganize her body.
- At this time, she could gradually feel the concern of "General of the Stars" and the daily prayers of the members of "essential Dawn" and their own crew and sailors.
- This makes her more stable and can resist the ancient will that is being produced in her body.
- At this time, a stream of secret information came out of nowhere, taking advantage of Bernardi's opportunity to reorganize his body and try to integrate with her.
- This is an interference from the hidden sage!
- As a kind of embodiment of the knowledge and information of the world, and as the sequence 0 of the way of "peeping people", the "hidden sage" can exert a certain influence on those who are lower than themselves in the same way.
- Without giving Bernardi a chance to use the pale mask, Klein raised the curtain gently.
- Around Bernardi, there is a distortion of time and space, so that her area is completely isolated from the outside world, even if the information is unable to interact.
- Seizing on this sudden peace, Bernardi completely reorganized her body and initially balanced the terrifying will produced in her body with the help of her own anchor.
- At this moment, she really became him, the sequence 2 angel of the way of "peeping people", and a big shot in the mysterious world that can be called "secret existence".
- Then she saw the twisted space-time around her return to normal and saw streams of secret information pouring towards her.
- She immediately held out her right hand, easily grasped the information, and extracted the useful knowledge contained in it.
- Just as Bernardi was about to return to reality from the spirit world, there was a sudden orange light in front of her eyes.
- The light instantly condensed into a chubby old man with a short white beard.
- The old man smiled and said,
- "Ma'am, I'm Orange Light Hilary."
- "Orange Light". Bernardi wondered why "Orange Light" Hilarion appeared in front of her-there had not been much overlap between the two sides before.
- As the leader of "essential Dawn" and a former "occult", she is no stranger to the seven lights of the spirit world. she even knows how to pray to the seven lights and get the corresponding guidance ceremony, knowing that the seven clear lights are some kind of symbol of the spirit world. containing endless knowledge in different fields, she has definitely reached the angel level.
- "Orange Light," Hilarion added with a smile:
- "some great being allows me to tell you about the old days, the gods and the stars, so that you can have a more accurate grasp of the state of the world and the corresponding pollution."
- "who exists?" Asked Bernardi doubtfully and cautiously.
- She vaguely predicted the answer, but she still could not believe it. After all, the Seven Light of the spirit world is also a big shot in the mysterious world. Even if the true gods of sequence 0 want to drive them, it is not so easy and easy.
- "Orange Light," Hilarion replied with a smile:
- "the great master above the spirit world."
- The great master of the spirit world. Bernardi repeated the honorable name with a moment of thought.
- Hilary looked at her, smiled and said:
- "he has another honorable title:
- "Mr. Fool."
- .
- In a certain sea area, it runs on the "Future" in the safe channel.
- Gadelia suddenly woke up from her dream, her forehead covered with cold sweat.
- In her dream just now, she saw the Queen fall bloody, her chest and abdomen torn open, and a baby-like monster emerged.
- As a "mystic" and promoted by a drop of blood from "the Snake of Destiny", Gadelia believes that her dream is not without a reason and must be a harbinger of something.
- And obviously, what she just had was not a good dream.
- In a uncertain state of mind, Gadelia sat up, put on her cloak, and tried to pray to Mr. Fool that the great being would give herself a hint or protect the Queen.
- Soon, a scene appeared in front of her:
- The "mysterious queen" Bernardi stepped out of the spirit world and returned to the Dawn, gradually moving the ship away from the looming unnamed island.
- Kadelia breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
- After praying, she was so happy that she opened the window of the captain's room, let the starlight grow the bridge and fell on the deck.
- Then she put on her heavier glasses, walked along the bright bridge of starlight, step by step to the deck, and strolled leisurely in the tranquil atmosphere of the night.
- When she reached the bow, Gadelia saw Frank. Li is messing with some bottles and cans there.
- "what are you doing?" Gadelia frowned before she knew it.
- Frank looked up and smiled brightly and said:
- "the previous idea encountered a setback and could not go on for the time being. Nina got me some dirt from the bottom of the sea to study the microbes contained in it."
- At this point, Frank said longingly:
- "next holiday, I want to go to the depths of the North Sea or the polar ice and snow world to have a look. There may be ancient microbes from the Quaternary, Tertiary, or even the second and first periods buried under the thick ice, which can help me gain a lot. "
- You won't have a holiday for the time being. Said Gadelia silently in her heart.
- .
- Klein showed a box, put all four blasphemous cards in it, sealed layers of them, and immediately returned to the real world and went straight to the nearest night church.
- He intends to inform the Night Goddess of the hidden dangers of the blasphemous card in the form of prayer, reminding him of the relevant problems and not letting Lilith, the Earth Mother, get the Mother card or the Moon card.
- Chapter 44 Messengers
- The prayer hall of the night church is as dark as ever, and only the holes in the wall have a little light to penetrate, like the stars at night.
- Klein sat in an inconspicuous corner, took off his high top hat and began to pray like a devout believer.
- He briefly mentioned that Rossell had been resurrected in the last mausoleum, focusing on the pollution of the "primitive moon", and specially emphasized that in order to prevent the "red moon" in his body from being born in the real world, he took the initiative to interrupt the process of the "uniqueness" of the "Black Emperor" approach and the return of the extraordinary characteristics of the three sequences 1.
- At the end of the prayer, Klein pointed out the hidden dangers of the blasphemy card and expressed concern about the whereabouts of the mother card and the moon card.
- In fact, Rossell only said to be careful of the "mother" card, did not mention the "moon" card, but Klein knew that "earth" and "moon" both belonged to the "fallen mother god", so he was more cautious and specially added the "moon" card.
- This is also the main reason why he is worried about "Earth Mother" Lilith.
- Compared with most of the 22 pathways, the high-sequence extraordinary ones of the "cultivator" and "moon" pathways have a big advantage, that is, they do not have to worry about waking up in their own bodies, and they are not afraid of "personality split" near the ground, because their extraordinary characteristics do not come directly from the original, and there is no corresponding spiritual imprint-- if they go directly into the ground and enter the "sea of chaos." No matter who it is, it will be polluted, but the degree and performance will be different.
- In ancient times, this advantage was probably the reason why Lilith, the ancestor of the kindred, was more special than other ancient gods. After all, he did not need to devote a large part of his energy to fight against the original awakening will, and at that time, the invisible barrier to protect the world was strong enough to keep out the "fallen Mother God" and other stars, making it difficult for them to exert too much influence on the situation inside.
- But over time, this advantage has gradually become a problem.
- While the underground pollution is getting weaker and weaker, the invisible barrier is becoming more and more fragile, and there are some cracks. in this case, the situation of Lilith, the "earth mother", is becoming more and more difficult, because he is facing more and more powerful. more and more terrible "fallen mother" erosion-in this respect, the dead original creator is certainly not as good as the living "fallen mother".
- Considering the influence of foreign gods who transcend the sequence on their own path, Klein believes that there must be no negligence in the corresponding things.
- After praying, he waited for nearly five minutes, made sure there was no answer, stood up, put on the wandering magician's top hat, and walked slowly out of the church belonging to the night.
- For him, this is mainly about the duty of informing. As for what the Night Goddess is going to do and whether it will remind him of something, he can't interfere at all.
- In short, Klein can only temporarily believe that the Night Goddess knows the difference between priorities.
- .
- Beckland, South Bridge, Harvest Church.
- Emlin. White got out of his carriage, looked at the sun obscured by clouds and mist, and put on a half-high silk bowler hat.
- On his way to the church door, he gently turned the ring on his left hand as if to show his identity.
- The ring was translucent, as if made of crimson amber, with a blood-red jewel at the top, which Emlin had received a long time ago: "Lilith's Ring."
- After becoming a demigod, Emlin has been able to suppress the "thirst" attached to this ring to a certain extent. he only needs to drink three bottles of human blood every day, so he will no longer be adversely affected, so, in order to reflect the special status of his ancestor, he began to wear this ring for a long time.
- After entering the harvest church, Emlin automatically took off his top hat.
- At this time, waiting for Bishop Utravsky's sermon, Kasimi, Onez and other Beckland blood clans stood up one after another, looked at the ground in the aisle, and said in a small voice:
- "good morning, your excellency."
- Emlin looked ahead and nodded slightly invisibly:
- "hasn't Mistral come yet?"
- "the Earl of Mistral has arranged a chapel at home." Ernest gave a brief explanation.
- Emlin did not evaluate the behavior, but said casually as he walked forward:
- "but when you hold mass, you still have to come here."
- He glanced from side to side and then said:
- "where is Bishop Utravsky?"
- "the bishop is waiting for you at the back, and the envoy of the church has arrived." Ernest controlled the expression of his face and answered Emlin's question quite respectfully.
- The emissary of the church. Emlin turned the scarlet ring on his left hand and walked towards the back of the church.
- Soon he met Father Utravsky and the dark-haired, dark-haired, high-nosed, deep-eyed church messenger in the room.
- "this is his Excellency Archbishop Loreto." Father Utravsky introduced Emlin.
- He stood by the window, almost blocking out most of the light.
- "good morning, Monsieur Loreto." Emlin responded with the etiquette of the Earth Church.
- Loreto laughed in the awkward Roon language:
- "Don't call me your excellency, you are not an archbishop, but you have the status of archbishop, and from now on, you are the holy man and senior deacon of the church in charge of Beckland blood affairs."
- Without giving Emlin time to digest the news, Loreto continued:
- "I came to Beckland at the behest of the Pope to tell you face-to-face some of the things that need to be paid attention to within the church."
- "go ahead." Emlin suppressed his complacency and said politely.
- Loreto's expression suddenly became serious:
- "first of all, the most important point is that both the clergy of the church and the believers of the Mother God, as long as they claim to have been inspired by God, are seduced by the devil, without exception.
- "if anyone reports something similar to you, or if you have been apocalypsed, be sure to inform Bishop Utravsky and report it to the church as soon as possible."
- The priest didn't mention this before. This request sounds strange, as if you are doubting something. Emlin frowned slightly at Father Utravsky by the window and said:
- "the Bishop never said anything about paying attention to this aspect."
- As he spoke, Emlin suddenly felt as if he was blaming Bishop Utravsky, but eagerly could not find a better word.
- Almost at the same time, he understood the strange feeling of Archbishop Loreto's words:
- This is to tell everyone that the mother god you feel is probably not the real mother god!
- This is almost like saying that a large part of the revelations of the ancestors obtained by our blood family are false, coming from demons or evil gods. Emlin's eyes were a little heavy, trying to keep his demeanor and not let himself lose his temper.
- At this time, Loreto did not mind laughing at all:
- "Bishop Utravsky didn't tell you because he didn't know."
- The priest doesn't know. For a moment, Emlin had some sympathy for Bishop Utravsky, feeling that he, as a Fossack, a clergyman who was later converted, had been openly or covertly ostracized by the rest of the Earth Church.
- Noticing the change in his eyes, Loreto added:
- "that's because he is a god, and he doesn't need to care about the temptation of demons and evil gods."
- Bishop Utravsky nodded and said calmly:
- "the revelation of the Mother God is in his scripture, in that dogma, other than that, it is all heresy."
- Emlin was a little confused, but he thought there was nothing to ask, so he said, "well," to Loreto:
- "what's the second point to pay attention to?"
- Loreto returned his expression to seriousness:
- "if you receive the oracle, do not believe it blindly, please immediately seek confirmation from Bishop Utravsky."
- "why?" Emlin became more and more puzzled.
- This is almost telling him that those who will respond to him are evil gods or demons.
- Loreto weighed the language and explained in detail:
- "there are many evils in this world, who will pretend to be gods, bewitch clergy and deceive believers.
- "because the two main ways of our Earth Mother Church are related to life, they are more seriously affected than other churches, and from time to time some people go astray and try taboo life experiments, a little bit of depravity.
- "in order to curb this trend, we have reorganized the church and established two systems, the benefactor and the loved one, under the guidance of the mother's will from a long time ago."
- The benefactor and the loved one. Emlin's knowledge of the Earth Church was limited to the scriptures and some of the scriptures, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
- He never asked Father Utravsky about the Earth Church.
- Loreto glanced at Emlin, nodded slightly and said:
- "the divine benefactor refers to the clergy who are blessed by the mother god in the two ways of 'the earth' and the 'moon', and the divine favourite refers to the maternal divinity who comes from the outside and comes from other ways.
- "the latter is less influenced by demons and evil gods, and can help us to distinguish whether the oracle is true or false.
- "under such a premise, even an order issued by the Pope must be countersigned by at least one loved one, otherwise it can be regarded as null and void."
- As he spoke, Loreto took out a document and showed it to Emlin. Apart from what the archbishop had just said, it was part of his appointment as an emissary.
- At the end of the document, there were several names side by side, the first belonging to the Pontifical throne of the Earth Church, Mother Roland, and a series of others that Emlin did not know, but the last one, he barely recognized Father Utravsky.
- The priest's handwriting is so ugly. Emlin muttered to himself, while he had strong doubts about the two systems of God's grace and God's loved ones.
- Why are the loved ones less seduced by evil gods or demons?
- Why can they tell whether the oracle is true or false, but not the gracious one?
- During the telegram of his thoughts, Emlin suddenly noticed a detail:
- God's loved ones do not belong to the two ways of "earth" and "moon"!
- So the problem is not the benefactor, but the two ways themselves? Emlin vaguely felt that his guess might be the truth.
- Chapter 45 New Mission
- Emlin vaguely sensed that there might be some anomalies in the two extraordinary paths of "Earth" and "Moon", but did not raise the question to Archbishop Loreto face to face.
- He doesn't seem to answer. Or wait for the next Tarot party, consult the "world", "upside down" them …. Emlin muttered a few words to himself as he nodded slightly invisibly, indicating that he knew the difference between the benefactor and the loved one.
- He did not consider seeking an answer from Mr. Fool because he felt that the corresponding problems would not be too big and unnecessary. After all, the dukes, Marquis and Earls of the blood clan were still alive, and there was no particularly negative news from the Earth Mother Church.
- At the same time, the speculation just now also reminds Emlin of the existence of the "primitive moon", which is disguised as an evil god or a high-level demon. He has an obvious influence on the "moon" path and has made many blood clans who pray to him lose control on the spot and become monsters who only know how to mate and reproduce.
- Emlin suspected that this was one of the evil beings that gave false apocalypse and false oracle.
- Seeing that he did not ask any more questions, Loreto put away his papers and thought about the following:
- "this is the problem that requires special attention.
- "in addition, the Pope wants you to form three or five extraordinary teams with blood clans at the core in Beckland."
- "is there nothing wrong with the Church of the Night and the Church of Storm?" Emlin has always been law-abiding, at most went to the hospital to steal some blood, subconsciously raised his own questions.
- Loreto smiled kindly and said:
- "that's what they asked for.
- "with the withdrawal of most of the power of the Steam Church, Roon's officials are in short supply.
- "although the Night Church and Storm Church have also recruited a group of 'Mechanical Heart' members and grass-roots clergy who do not want to leave Roon, they are only a minority after all. and they have to take into account the cleaning up of the Fossack side and the maintenance of independent colonial churches overseas, so I hope we can help.
- "it's a lot of good for us to preach in Roon, but you have to remember that here we have to be restrained enough not to preach at the same level as the remaining steam church, of course, our number of believers will not be able to catch up with the current steam church for a long time, which requires the efforts of one generation, two generations, or even three generations."
- Yes, it is enough to maintain the current scale and develop to a certain extent. It's troublesome to preach a lot of missionaries. Emlin breathed a sigh of relief and calmly replied:
- "good."
- .
- Suniahai, the "city of generosity" Byam.
- Dressed in a bishop's robe embroidered with lightning and wave symbols and a metal storm emblem, Alger stood at the summit of the seaside mountains, overlooking the other side of the island's forest.
- There are many fewer trees, and the surrounding hills and hills are razed one by one, revealing a hidden harbor.
- It was a private port that once belonged to the rebels, certainly not comparable in size to the port of Byam, but it was also medium-sized enough to support the lives of many people.
- At this time, a bold and rugged city has been initially established near the port, which is not big, perhaps only Byam 1/5, or even less.
- Side by side in the center of it stood two towers, a dome and a spire, all of which were strangely silver, reflecting a slightly dazzling light in the light of the sun.
- Many concrete roads have been paved around the twin towers, either leading to stone-based buildings or connecting broad squares and training grounds, all of which have been planted with green trees, giving people a sense of prosperity.
- Alger knows that the city is currently inhabited not only by the residents of Silver City, but also by people from Moon City.
- Those people are so deformed that they are not willing to get in touch with Byam and the residents of other cities on the island for the time being, but only to purchase the necessary supplies through the people of Baiyin City.
- It is said that they plan to build a city of their own in the depths of the forest, leaving only one road to the new Silver City.
- "these are all followers of Mr. Fool, and they have to slowly guide them to integrate into the Rothschild Islands as a whole. For the time being, we can not disturb those deformed people, and let the residents of Baiyin City come to Byam with some of the normal-looking people of the moon city. " Alger thought carefully about what to do next.
- After initially settling the residents of Baiyin City and Yuecheng, he has actually completed the task given by Mr. Fool, but he believes that he is still a long way from getting the relevant identity, authority and personality of Poseidon. So he did his best to deal with the various problems left over from the "Great Migration."
- Frankly speaking, what Alger is most worried about now is that Mr. Fool does not give himself something to do, so that he does not know when he will be able to accumulate enough exploits.
- And with the establishment of the new Silver City, showing a vigorous vitality, he also keenly increased his sense of crisis:
- There is not only one demigod in the sequence 4 of Baiyin City and Moon City, and they are all loyal followers of Mr. Fool. Maybe at some point, Mr. Fool will give one of them the identity, personality, authority and power of Poseidon!
- "Baiyin City has two'0' seals, one sequence of 3 saints, three sequence of 4 saints, nearly ten'1' seals, and a small number of demigod extraordinary features that can be temporarily used as'1' seals. Moon City has three demigod, five'1' seals and a large number of potions. This. " Alger only made a brief inventory and found that the two belonging to Mr. Fool were a little formidable.
- They add up to almost 1/4 storm teachings!
- As far as the Cardinal Alger knows, the number of "0" seals of the major divine churches is between five and eight, and no more than four angels are active on earth, which is indeed much stronger than the Moon City plus Silver City in this respect.
- But in the "1" seal, in the number of saints, the advantage of the Orthodox Church is not so great, especially the latter.
- At a time when an all-out war broke out and the upper echelons stepped up the cultivation of saints, the Storm Church now has only a little over 20 saints.
- "the Poseidon church doesn't have a demigod yet, but it won't be long before there will be a new Poseidon. Under the seat of Mr. Fool, there is also the angel of the world, the "death consul", and the angel who belongs to the path of fate. With us, the saints of the Tarot gathering. " The more Alger thought about it, the more frightened he found that he was a little slow in this respect.
- Perhaps it was the relationship in which he was involved. Although he had been amazed at similar things, it was not until today that he clearly realized:
- Unwittingly, the power of Mr. "fool" has developed to a level comparable to that of the divine church, and even if there is a certain gap, it is only due to the accumulation precipitated by a long history.
- It has not been three years since Alger joined the Tarot Club!
- "if I hadn't experienced these changes myself, I wouldn't have believed it." Alger sighed in his heart and became more and more eager to do something for Mr. Fool in order to accumulate the contribution needed to incarnate Poseidon as soon as possible.
- At that time, he will be able to really set his sights on the Book of Natural disasters and try to fulfill the mandate of the Elf Queen Goshenam.
- Looking back, Alger looked again at Byam at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the city, which had not been badly damaged in the previous war, had regained its brilliance and could be called the most prosperous city on the sea of Sonia.
- At this moment, the pastors, bishops and believers of the Storm Church are working with the employees of the new government and the people of the Poseidon Church to build schools and hospitals for the children in the slums and the indigenous people who have no means. Provide education, medical care and relief.
- Alger looked at the people who came and went like ants on the road, looked at the brightly colored buildings that were different from most of Roon, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and quickly let them down.
- He squinted, not knowing what he was feeling and enjoying.
- Just then, a gray fog suddenly appeared in front of him.
- Then he saw the old palace and the shadowy figure in the middle of the fog, and heard the words from Mr. Fool:
- "A mission, monitoring a man named Verdu. Garcia's people. "
- The oracle was accompanied by a great deal of information, which rained down into Alger's mind and let him know Verdu. The details of Garcia.
- This is a hidden member of the Abraham family who recently left Deasy County for the Rothschild Islands.
- "follow your will." Alger, not surprised but delighted, bowed his head respectfully and replied.
- .
- Klein knows about Verdu. Garcia. Abraham left the North for the Rothschild Islands because of Doryan. Gray mentioned it in his prayers.
- And he knew for a long time that the man named Verdu was eager to save Mr. Gate so that the king of angels could return to the real world.
- The reason why Klein asked Miss Magician to tell the Abraham family one of the ceremonies to help Mr. door out of trouble is because the trust between the two sides is not enough-if they hide it, or give a lie that requires hunting angels to decorate the ceremony, the Abraham family will surely suspect that the Magician Falth will continue to contact Mr. door. Will try to confirm it in other ways through other channels.
- Once they find something, Klein will lose control of the Abraham family and will not be able to kill the risk in advance.
- A few years ago, Klein would not have been too worried about this, but as the end approached, the gods eroded reality more and more, and it was uncertain when members of the Abraham family would come into contact with the corresponding things or believers and get the right rituals.
- So, Klein thinks that giving that very difficult ritual can effectively win the trust of members of the Abraham family, make them believe more and more in Mr. Fool, become more and more pious, and then, through these pious people, he can monitor people who show a radical side, control their trajectory, and intervene in a timely manner.
- Chapter 46 Automatic Wishing Machine
- Jian Hai County, Limon.
- Jasmine wrapped her scarf around her face and walked out of the apartment door.
- She heard that the annual Limon Carnival had begun and wanted to have a look at the city square.
- Jasmine was disappointed that the carnival was not held at this time last year because of the war, but after that, she suffered the biggest trauma of her life and stayed at home, daring and did not want to go out.
- Perhaps because he has been closed for too long and has always been confined to such a narrow environment at home, Jasmine has always wanted to take to the streets and walk around recently, just like he did in the past.
- In a twinkling of an eye, she saw herself now from the large glass window of the shop on the street:
- It was dark and free of color, with a long skirt to the ankle, the net of the hat covering most of the face, a scarf under the eyes to the neck, and two palms wearing a woolen glove.
- This is very different from Jasmine's cheerful and lively memory.
- In the previous war, a shell blew up Jasmine and her parents' original home and brought a fire that destroyed her face and left her body covered with trauma.
- If she had not been lucky enough, Jasmine would have died of that serious injury, but even so, she felt as if her life had been terminated at that moment.
- Now her nose has been burned off, leaving only two black holes, and there are many traces of fire on her face, neck and hands. If she walks in the dark, she can play the devil.
- One thing Jasmine remembers clearly is that on the first night of moving to the apartment, she cleaned herself in the public bathroom before going to bed. As soon as she walked out the door, she saw a teenager coming, and the teenager saw her.
- Under the scarlet moonlight, the teenager showed an extremely frightened expression and seemed to jump up, turn around and run away at any time.
- In the end, he controlled himself and just took a few steps aside, afraid to look at Jasmine's face.
- This pierced Jasmine's fragile heart, and from that day on, she no longer went out, and even if she had to clean her body, she would wait until the dead of night.
- In this respect, she is very grateful to her parents because they say nothing, struggle to make ends meet, rely on their original savings and later found a job, barely support the family, do not need Jasmine to go out to get a salary.
- After walking some distance, Jasmine saw Limon Municipal Square, the main venue of the carnival.
- The crowding of people there, the catharsis of various emotions there, and the warm atmosphere there stopped Jasmine subconsciously.
- She dared not come near, for fear of being noticed that she was strangely dressed, and that if she was not careful, she would let her scarf fall off.
- After a few seconds of hesitation, she stopped completely, found a clean place on the side of the street, sat down, and looked intently at the city square.
- I don't know how long it took Jasmine to realize that there were more people around.
- It was a young man in a black robe and a high bowler hat, like a magician from a circus.
- The city square is over there. Jasmine wanted to remind her, but after moving her lips a few times, she still didn't open her lips.
- She doesn't dare and doesn't want to talk to others.
- However, the young man came over on his own initiative, took off his top hat and bent down slightly:
- "Miss, do you know what this machine does?"
- A machine? Jasmine looked up subconsciously, blankly following the young man's eyes and looking aside.
- Under the gas street lamp, a narrow wardrobe-like machine stood there at some point.
- Its surface is brass, inlaid with a few pieces of glass without transparency, gears, bearings, rivets, metal tubes and other parts directly exposed, appears to be very rough.
- Jasmine looked back and shook her head, saying she didn't know what the machine was doing.
- At the same time, it also expresses her intention to refuse to communicate.
- "it's called a fully automatic wishing machine." The young man smiled and said, "this is my invention, which can automatically realize the wishes of the manipulator. by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Merlin." Hermes, a wandering magician. "
- "automatic wishing machine". Jasmine found that she could understand every word, but couldn't put them together.
- "you can try, as the first experience, free of charge." The incarnation of Merlin. Said Klein of Hermes with a smile.
- Jasmine shook her head and refused to communicate.
- Klein, undaunted, glanced at each other and said:
- "for example, you can make a wish to change yourself back to who you are."
- This sentence, like a sharp arrow, shot into Jasmine's heart, startled her to stand up, hurriedly stepped back, and tried to leave.
- She suspected that the other party had seen her now.
- "how do you know your wish won't come true if you don't try? You don't have to pay anything. " Klein looked at her background and spoke at a slow pace.
- Jasmine's pace slowed down and finally stopped.
- If she can change back to her original appearance, even if she needs to pay a lot of money, she is willing to chase it.
- But she knew that what she wanted from the bottom of her heart could not be realized by money.
- You don't have to give anything. Try it for free. What if it happens. Jasmine's mind ups and downs, as if seduced by the devil slowly turned over the body.
- "really?" She asked in a raw voice.
- Klein pointed to the machine:
- "I can quit ten meters away, and all you have to do is turn the wrench on that machine.
- "you don't have to take off your hat and scarf."
- Jasmine was moved by this last remark, and she nodded her head quickly and said:
- "good."
- Wait until Merlin. Hermes withdrew some distance before Jasmine approached the machine and carefully reached for the wrench on the door.
- She was actually worried that she would be subjected to mischief after turning, such as being poured on her head-something that happens every year at the carnival, and she and her friends have played tricks on others in the past, but compared with being able to make a wish come true, she thought it was bearable.
- Even if it turns out that there will be no such good thing as realizing her wish at all, it can still be regarded as her experience of participating in the carnival.
- "remember to make your wish before turning." Klein, not far away, warned.
- Jasmine calmed down and almost silently expressed his wish:
- "I want to go back to the way I was before I was burned by the fire."
- With that, she turned the wrench nervously and expectantly.
- The next second, the door of the fully automatic wishing machine opened, stretched out an ordinary log-colored walking stick and touched Jasmine's forehead.
- When Jasmine didn't notice, she had a gold ring set with rubies on her finger.
- When the log-colored walking stick retracted into the interior of the automatic wishing machine, the gold ring set with rubies disappeared.
- In the sound of the gear turning, Jasmine saw the "door" of the machine slowly close.
- Is that it? She thought a little blankly.
- She didn't experience the feeling of realizing her wish, she didn't get a prank, and everything seemed so weird.
- "Congratulations, your wish has come true." Klein walked back, clapping softly, like a witness.
- The wish came true. How is this possible? Jasmine just flashed through the thought when he suddenly felt something under the scarf.
- There are only two black holes left and there is something on top again!
- Jasmine hesitantly and slowly raised the palm of his hand, touched his face, and clearly felt the presence of his nose.
- And her breathing experience also proves it.
- She turned abruptly and turned her back to Merlin. Hermes, walking to a shop on the street, looked at the glass window in the light of the gas lamp.
- Then she took off the scarf that wrapped her face layer by layer.
- An eye is not big, the nose is not very strong, the lips are not plump, and the face of a girl with a few freckles is reflected on the window.
- Jasmine subconsciously raised his hand and covered his mouth, his eyes glowing and foggy.
- After a few seconds, she raised her arm, wiped her face with her sleeve, and looked back at Merlin. Hermes said:
- "are you a god?"
- "I'm just a magician who likes to work miracles." Klein smiled and pointed to the machine next to him. "what you should thank most is it, the automatic wishing machine."
- "fully automatic." Jasmine was in an emotional agitation and subconsciously repeated it.
- Klein nodded and said:
- "Yes, a 'fully automatic wishing machine' that can operate on its own without the help of others.
- "you can understand it as a gas meter. As long as you put in a coin, you can realize your wish like getting gas.
- "the specific steps are simple, put in a penny, make your wish, and then turn the wrench.
- "remember, only three wishes can come true."
- While explaining, Klein laughed at himself:
- If one day I unfortunately die and become a seal, I hope it will be something like a "fully automatic wishing machine".
- After leaving Conston, the capital of Jianhai County, Klein changed the way he fulfilled other people's wishes to avoid boredom:
- People always have to learn to find fun in boring work.
- This is amazing. Jasmine can hardly find words to describe her inner feelings.
- As a result, her surging emotions precipitated a lot.
- "will it, I mean, this fully automatic wishing machine, be here all the time?" Jasmine hesitated to ask.
- Klein smiled and said:
- "No.
- "it may stay here for three days, or it may not be that long, or when the sun rises, it will disappear.
- "but it will not be seen forever, and maybe one day you will see it at the corner of the street."
- Jasmine's mind was so messy that it was difficult to sort out her own thoughts, so she could only bow earnestly to the machine and said:
- "Thank you, Mr. automatic wishing machine."
- Then she saluted Klein:
- "Thank you, Mr. Hermes."
- As he spoke, Jasmine remembered Merlin. Hermes asked with anticipation, surprise and sheepishness what he had just said:
- "can three wishes come true?"
- "Yes, but then it's no longer free. You need to put in coins." Klein replied without a hint of mind.
- Chapter 47—The Third Wish
- Jasmine was excited to hear this, but he was still a little worried:
- "what kind of price do you have to pay for this?"
- In her view, previous free attempts don't have to pay a price, but that doesn't mean the same is true of subsequent wishes.
- Klein straightened his top hat, smiled and said:
- "the penny you pay is the price, and so is the corresponding change you have to bear after realizing your wish."
- Jasmine nodded knowingly, without hesitation, put his hand into his pocket and tried to pull out a few copper pennies and fulfill his wish.
- But her pocket was empty and there was nothing but a handkerchief.
- After staying at home for too long, she hasn't had any contact with money for a long time.
- Before that, she walked from home to the city square instead of taking a trolley bus.
- "can I, can I go home first?" Jasmine asked vexed and embarrassed.
- "of course, it's your freedom, but I don't guarantee that the automatic wishing machine will always be here for you." Klein smiled like a magician. "sometimes it's wayward."
- Jasmine said "um" twice, said thank you, turned around and trotted off in the opposite direction of the city square.
- The more she ran, the more relaxed she became, and she regained her pre-burn health and changed back to the young girl who was only 17 or 18 years old.
- For her, it was a dream scene.
- Of course, as an ordinary person, after running for a while, she gradually felt tired and had to slow down and began to walk slowly.
- The cool night wind blew, the clouds in the high sky revealed one bright star after another, and the trees beside the street shook gently and sprinkled a swaying figure on the ground, all this was so quiet and beautiful. Jasmine only felt that his body and mind had relaxed, and all his troubles were gone.
- For the first time since she was injured, she was in such a peaceful mood and unwittingly brought a little smile.
- After walking for about five or six minutes, she suddenly heard someone calling her name:
- "Why, Jasmine?"
- Jasmine looked sideways and saw a familiar face, her original neighbor, Mrs. Hamill.
- "good evening, Mrs. Hamill. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you going to the carnival?" Jasmine, without a scarf, smiled from the bottom of her heart.
- Mrs. Hamill, a woman with a little gray hair, looked carefully at Jasmine and said:
- "I haven't seen you since you moved out. I heard you were injured in the previous bombing?"
- "Yes, but it's all right." Jasmine made a point.
- She immediately asked:
- "how is Julie now?"
- Julie is Mrs. Hamill's eldest daughter and Jasmine's former playmate.
- Mrs. Hamill's expression was overshadowed:
- "she was, she was bullied by the Fossacks, so she died."
- Jasmine was stunned for a moment, thinking of her own experience while she was sad.
- Fossack soldiers once broke into her house and tried to insult her, but when they saw her face destroyed by fire, they just gave her a kick and left.
- "Poor Julie." Jasmine sadly and sincerely clicked four times clockwise on her chest and drew the stars.
- When she heard what had happened to her friends in the past, she realized that she might still be the luckier one.
- After saying goodbye to Mrs. Hamill, Jasmine walked all the way back to her apartment.
- When she arrived outside the house, she recovered, her mood recovered a lot, and she began to expect her parents to see her change back to her original expression.
- They should no longer hold the pain in their hearts and pretend that nothing has happened. They will surely weep excitedly and embrace me happily. Jasmine took off the key that hung around her neck as a necklace and opened the door as she pondered.
- The room was so dark that neither the candle nor the gas wall lamp was lit.
- On the bed outside, heavy and light snoring contrasted with the hustle and bustle of the city square.
- They're all asleep. Yes, they usually work very hard. Jasmine gently closed the door, went to her parents' bed, and quietly cast her eyes through the scarlet moon shining out of the window.
- Dad has a lot of white hair on his head, and his legal lines have become so deep. Mother frowned when she slept, and her face was a little peeled, dry and rough. Jasmine found that she didn't seem to have looked at her parents' faces for a long time, but she didn't know that they were so old.
- Before the war, her father was an accountant with a good income and could afford to rent a townhouse so that his wife could not go out to work and concentrate on taking care of her family. Now, he can only enter the fabric factory and do heavy work. Jasmine's mother also had to leave the family and become a textile girl.
- My father's health is getting worse and worse, always coughing, but he has passed the recent unified examination for government employees, and when the interview results are announced, he will be able to have a decent job. Mom keeps complaining about her eyes and her arms are getting worse. Jasmine looked at her parents deeply and didn't wake them up.
- She has made up her second wish.
- Stepping softly, Jasmine entered the room and poured the last pennies out of her nearly empty piggy bank.
- Then she left the apartment and boarded a trackless bus.
- She was afraid that she would go too late, and the "automatic wishing machine" had disappeared. At this time, there were many passengers on the bus, most of them went to the carnival. Jasmine looked around and saw that there was no place, so he had to stand on the support and stand in the aisle, huddled with many people.
- More than ten minutes later, she got off at the station and turned into the previous street.
- When the brass machine with several pieces of glass caught her eye, Jasmine breathed a sigh of silent relief and hurried closer.
- In the process, she looked around and did not find that his name was Merlin. Mr. Magician of Hermes.
- "is it really fully automatic? you don't need him around?" Jasmine whispered in doubt.
- Instead of wasting her time, she took out a penny and put it into the "automatic wishing machine".
- "I hope my parents will get back to health and my family will become rich." Jasmine whispered her wish, closed her eyes and waited for a miracle to happen.
- The next second, she heard the sound of jingle, like a coin rolling out of the "automatic wishing machine".
- Jasmine opened her eyes in astonishment and looked ahead to see that the copper penny she had just put in had fallen into the small tray outside the slot.
- This wish can't come true? Well, there can't be too much content in a wish? What I just made is actually equal to two wishes. Prior to the experience of being cured of burns, Jasmine did not suspect that there was something wrong with the fully automatic wishing machine.
- After thinking about it carefully, she stuffed the penny into the slot, then bowed her head and whispered a wish:
- "I hope my parents will get back to health."
- This time, she heard a soft knock in the "automatic wishing machine":
- "Benedict."
- Seeing that the copper coin had not been spit out, Jasmine knew that his wish had come true. He couldn't wait to go home and take a look at his parents' condition.
- Restraining her excitement, she put in a second penny.
- She had planned to make the family rich, but she couldn't help thinking that her father was almost certain to become a government employee in Limon and that the family's income could be guaranteed.
- Since she was ten years old, she has realized the fact that she is not good-looking at all. this is not to say that people around her will dislike her and say that she has failed her appearance, but that two young girls among her playmates are quite beautiful, which allows them to receive preferential treatment and experience the goodwill of the world in many cases.
- In this comparison, Jasmine will inevitably dream that he will become more and more beautiful as he grows older, but it turns out that a dream can only be a dream.
- However, this time, the dream could come true, because there is a miraculous "automatic wishing machine" in front of her that can work miracles.
- If I can be beautiful, I can find a good husband and improve the family situation. Jasmine seemed to hear the devil whispering in his ear, closing his eyes uncontrollably and making a wish:
- "I want to be very, very beautiful."
- She used three very to decorate her beauty.
- As soon as she spoke, the door of the automatic wishing machine opened again, and a silver mask was pushed out and covered Jasmine's face.
- Jasmine opened her eyes just in time to see the mask disappear.
- At the same time, she seems to be connected to something.
- She turned around expectantly, went to the shop on the street again, and saw what she looked like by the light of the gas lamp and the glass on the window.
- Jasmine could not specifically describe the changes in facial features and facial contours for a moment, but knew that even he was addicted to that beauty at this moment.
- Her nose became stiff, her lips were plump, her eyes were bigger and moist, her skin was as tender as milk pudding, and she was only a little similar to the original.
- "is this, is this a miracle?" Jasmine uttered a heartfelt, irresistible exclamation.
- She admired herself so much that she finally withdrew her eyes and saluted to the automatic wishing machine.
- She immediately drifted to the bus platform and looked at her one after another on the way.
- Bang!
- A man bumped into a gas lamppost because he looked at her too intently.
- Jasmine smiled, said nothing, and boarded the trolley.
- There are still a lot of people on the bus, and all the seats are occupied.
- As Jasmine was trying to find a place, several men raised their buttocks, straightened up, looked at her and smiled:
- "Miss, you can sit here."
- Jasmine froze for a moment, unexpectedly that he could receive so much kindness.
- Without refusing, she sat down nearby and smiled at the man who offered her seat:
- "Thank you."
- The man's expression became extremely vivid and said modestly:
- "that's what a gentleman should do."
- Jasmine still kept the habit of being closed at home, said nothing more, sat quietly near her home and got out of the carriage.
- After walking a few steps, she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her and looked away hurriedly.
- It was a drunken man who was looking at Jasmine with an indescribable disgusting look.
- Jasmine was startled and hurried to the apartment, but the men he met on the way showed similar eyes one after another, as if he would turn into a beast at any time.
- At this moment, Jasmine felt like she was walking in the wilderness.
- Chapter 48. Miracles can only last for a while
- If Jasmine used to enjoy the gaze from men, now she is left with worry and fear.
- She quickened her pace again, as if she were being chased by the Fossacks.
- Finally, Jasmine rushed into the apartment before the men approached and got rid of them.
- Call. The girl patted her chest and secretly decided to go out less at night.
- It was only then that she realized that there was something wrong with unimaginable beauty.
- Calming down, Jasmine went up the dim stairs to the third floor, went back to her house, and opened the door with the key she had with her.
- She carefully approached her parents' bed and once again examined their faces with the help of the moonlight.
- Compared with when she went out not long ago, her father and mother's faces became quite ruddy, with much less white hair and wrinkles, and almost no snoring.
- They really got back to health. Jasmine smiled uncontrollably and breathed a sigh of relief.
- Sensing the movement, her mother moved her eyelids and slowly opened them.
- Jasmine held her breath and smiled, ready to surprise her mother.
- Her mother half sat up and looked over, her expression suddenly became extremely frightened.
- "who are you?" The woman asked in a shrill voice and pushed up her husband next to her.
- Who am I? Jasmine was asked in a daze and didn't know how to answer this simple question for a moment.
- At this time, her father also woke up and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with doubt and vigilance.
- "get out! Or I'll call the police up! " Jasmine's mother left the bed, picked up the candlestick placed next to it and used it as a weapon.
- "We don't welcome thieves." Jasmine's father politely issued an eviction order.
- He knows that in the face of thieves, try not to push too much, otherwise it is easy for the other party to choose an extreme way to deal with it.
- If he had no wife and children, he would not be too afraid to fight the thieves, but now he has a whole family on his shoulders.
- Jasmine finally came to her senses and said hurriedly:
- "Dad, Mom, I am."
- Before she had finished, her mother shoved her face and was pushed out of the room by her father on the shoulder.
- As for what she said, under such circumstances, no one cares.
- Kuang Dang!
- The door of his house was closed before his eyes, which left Jasmine at a loss and helplessness.
- She wanted to knock on the door and prove her identity with the key she had with her, but just then she heard her mother say to the policeman patrolling below at the opposite window:
- "there are thieves, there are thieves!"
- Thief. Mom and Dad don't know me anymore. Do they think I murdered myself. Will the police believe in the "automatic wishing machine"? As soon as Jasmine's heart was tight, she subconsciously decided to leave the apartment, avoid the police, wait for dawn and then explain to her father and mother one by one, and win them trust with common memories.
- Pedal, she buried her head and, surrounded by heard neighbors, walked quickly down the stairs and rushed out of the apartment.
- Running all the way to the nearby alley, avoiding the policemen coming from the street, Jasmine gasped and stopped, tears rolling down her face and falling to the ground.
- Suddenly, a hand reached out, covered her mouth and dragged her to a secluded place in the alley.
- "how much is it? I'll give you whatever the money is. " A drunken, vague voice rang in Jasmine's ear, seemed to regard her as a street girl, and could not resist her temptation.
- Jasmine struggled, frightened and desperate.
- Just when she felt that she was about to collapse, the drunken man's hand let go.
- "Miss, are you all right?" A hoarse male voice rang out.
- Jasmine hurried out of the drunk's area before turning around and saw a policeman in a black-and-white checkered uniform.
- "he, he wants to." Jasmine began to cry as she spoke.
- The policeman gave her a pitiful look and said:
- "We'll take him to the magistrate's court, but, miss, you need to go back to the police station with me and take a statement."
- Jasmine was in a state of extreme panic and bewilderment, and subconsciously nodded.
- Before long, she sat in the confession room of the nearby police station, opposite the policeman and his colleague.
- "in other words, he never asked if you were a street girl, and you never gave a hint of soliciting customers?" The policeman weighed his words.
- He was worried that speaking too bluntly would hurt the beautiful girl in front of him.
- Jasmine held the coffee cup, bowed his head and took a sip.
- "well, I just got to that alley."
- "all right, that's it. Miss Jasmine, can you tell us where your home is? We'll send someone to take you back. " Another policeman asked pleasingly.
- Thinking of her parents' reaction and the disgusting eyes, Jasmine could not help shuddering and burst into tears:
- "I have a problem with my parents. I can't go home for the time being. Maybe you can take me to the nearest hotel."
- At this point, she remembered that with only a few pennies left on her, she could not stay in a good hotel at all, and that kind of cheap hotel was almost dangerous to her.
- The first policeman was stunned and said:
- "good."
- On the way to the nearest hotel, the policeman hesitated several times and finally said:
- "if, I mean, if you're going to be a street girl, you can come to me directly. You don't have to, you don't have to work so hard."
- Hearing this, Jasmine felt that she was about to have a mental breakdown, which was different from the feeling when she first saw the face after being burned by the fire.
- This left her extremely sense of security-free and did not answer in silence.
- Fortunately, the policeman did not force her to take her all the way to the door of the nearest hotel.
- "No, I'll go in by myself." Jasmine rejected the offer to take her to her room.
- When the policeman left, she hurried out of the hotel without really checking in.
- She wants to go to the city square, go to the "automatic wishing machine" and cancel the last wish.
- Such beauty is really terrible!
- After a few steps, Jasmine took off the scarf over her shoulder and wrapped it around her face, just as she did when she went out for the first time tonight.
- At that time, there were still signs of fire burns on her face, and her missing nose and badly damaged lips made her look like a demon.
- After arriving at the city square in a trolley bus, she entered the street again and saw the brass "automatic wishing machine".
- Jasmine suddenly settled down, quickened his pace, and came to the machine.
- Then she was at a loss and didn't know what to do to relieve her last wish.
- "your first wish is a free attempt, not among the three wishes, so you have one more wish." Then Jasmine heard the Merlin. The voice of Mr. Hermes.
- She looked around and saw the magician in the high bowler hat calmly looking at herself in the dim light across the street by the gas lamp.
- "all right, all right." Jasmine hurriedly took out a copper penny and put it into the "automatic wishing machine".
- "I wish my last wish was cancelled." She closed her eyes and meditated, holding the wrench and turning it.
- Benedict.
- She heard the slightly dull knock again.
- After opening her eyes, Jasmine rushed to the nearby store, stopped in front of the window and took off the scarves wrapped around her face layer by layer.
- She saw herself again, the not-so-beautiful girl.
- Jasmine relaxed and instinctively looked back at the automatic wishing machine, only to find it and the Merlin. Mr. Hermes disappeared together.
- "praise the goddess and thank Mr. Hermes." Jasmine sincerely clicked four times clockwise on her chest.
- Then she took the last copper penny and got on the trolley bus home.
- Along the way, no one gave up her seat.
- When her figure disappeared in the street, Klein reappeared on the side of the street, with an old silver mirror in his hand.
- "Great master, why don't you say at the end, 'too much greed will only turn a good thing into a bad thing' or 'wishes always have a price'? This will make the whole thing seem more philosophical and rise to the level of allegory. " On the surface of the mirror, silver words jumped out.
- Klein smiled and said:
- "the biggest problem is that I can't satisfy her wish to be very beautiful in a normal way. Lies can only be adjusted to a certain extent.
- "so I had to 'graft' one of the effects of a seal from the witch to her, which led to her amazing beauty as well as a terrible charm that was irresistible to the men around her."
- That seal belongs to "trial" Hugh, a relic of the witch Sherman.
- Because of the omission in Hugh's preservation, Sherman's extraordinary characteristics merged with the box in which it was contained, and became a seal with amazing negative effects, which caused Hugh's brother to look at the box in the wrong way.
- In order to solve this problem, Hugh made a wish to Mr. Fool to seal the item.
- Speaking casually, Klein looked at the Magic Mirror:
- "Arodes, are you comforting me?"
- "No, the main problem is that she is too greedy. If she just wants to be beautiful and doesn't add so many 'very', the result will be quite good." Silver words appeared quickly on the surface of the mirror.
- "Yes, that's within the scope of 'lies' that can be adjusted." Klein nodded and said to Arodes, "the lie's adjustment to appearance can indeed be permanently fixed, but it is always different from the original muscle, skin and bone structure. After more than a decade, when she gradually shows signs of aging, the difference between the adjusted part and the unadjusted part will gradually intensify, and the face will look rather strange and stiff, unless she really becomes a 'faceless person'. The problem can be corrected from time to time. "
- At this point, Klein smiled and shook his head:
- "after all, lies are just lies."
- Then, as he walked to the other end of the street, he continued:
- "moreover, even if she becomes really beautiful, it is uncertain whether she will be better off in the future. it is true that beauty can give her a lot of resources to marry a 'prince'. But her own self-cultivation, character and level of knowledge will probably not be able to sustain that kind of life for too long.
- "well, I don't rule out the possibility that she is good at learning, can enrich herself from all kinds of experiences, and finally control the good life, but that's another story.
- "Oh, miracles can only be temporary, and fate is always long."
- In a conversation with Arodes, the Mirror, Klein's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
- He deepened his understanding of the "wonder master".
- .
- When she got back to her apartment, Jasmine didn't try to open the door. It took a lot of courage to reach out and knock on the door.
- With a squeak, the door opened and her mother appeared in front of her.
- "Oh, you're back at last." Her mother breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in horror, "you, your face?"
- Jasmine smiled and said:
- "cured, a gentleman who is good at working miracles."
- Mr. "automatic wishing machine".
- Just when her mother and father suspected that their daughter had been influenced by the devil, several policemen in black and white checkered uniforms went up the stairs and came over.
- The leader is a lady with light blue eyes and a quiet smile.
- "Miss Jasmine, we have something to ask you." The lady said politely.
- Chapter 49 Summary Report
- Jasmine thinks he should be afraid, but in front of the female police officer, it is difficult to produce too strong mood swings, there is a feeling of physical and mental unconscious precipitation after crying for a long time.
- "well, what do you want to ask?" She asked hesitantly after looking at her parents with complex expressions.
- The lady wearing the title of superintendent pointed to the door and said:
- "We'll talk about it inside."
- She did not ask Jasmine's parents to avoid, but ordered two of the police officers who followed her to stand guard outside the door.
- After closing the door, she pulled a rough stool and sat down impolitely, looking relaxed.
- This made Jasmine and her parents' spirits less tense.
- "you can call me Ms. Grey." The police officer introduced himself, pointing to another chair and the outer bunk, "sit down."
- When everyone in the room found a seat, Grey smiled and said to Jasmine:
- "I have received reports that something incomprehensible has happened around you, for example, that the aggressive desire of men is significantly higher than normal, which is not to say that there are no villains and criminals among them, but that the proportion is so high that it is strangely high."
- At this point, Grey's eyes glanced over Jasmine's face:
- "as far as I know, you were badly injured and irreparably disfigured in the previous fire, but now I don't see it at all. What do you want to say about it?"
- Jasmine's heart hung up again, dared not hide anything, and said in a slight panic:
- "I went out tonight to the city square for the carnival. When I was passing through a street, I met a man who called himself Merlin. Hermes, a wandering magician, said he had invented a machine called a fully automatic wishing machine, which could be made possible by putting in a penny, whispering his wish and turning a wrench.
- "he said I was the first person to experience it and I could try it for free, and then I changed back to the way I was and all the injuries were healed.
- "Officer, that's what happened. You have to believe me."
- With that, she glanced at Ms. Grey and her assistant, looked at her parents, and tried to get approval from them.
- But the expression on her parents' faces clearly said:
- "how is that possible?
- "how can there be a machine that automatically fulfills other people's wishes?
- "how can a wish come true at a penny?
- "moreover, the first experiencer is completely free!"
- There was no obvious change in the expressions of Grey and her assistant, so Jasmine didn't know whether they believed it or not.
- "go on." Grey saw her pause and nodded encouragingly.
- Jasmine hurriedly went home to get the coins and promised her parents that they would be healthy and beautiful, and finally said:
- "I did become so beautiful that I couldn't even move my eyes, which made me feel a lot of kindness, but then the men around me began to scare me.
- "coupled with the fact that Mom and Dad didn't recognize me and drove me out of the house, I was scared, so I went back there and made a third wish, well, that man's name was Merlin. Mr. Hermes said that the first one was a free wish, not among the three wishes. In short, I changed back to my original appearance, and then I met you. "
- Hearing these words, Jasmine's parents instantly thought of the beautiful "thief" before.
- Then they found that their bodies were indeed much healthier than before, their eyesight had been restored, their arms were strong enough, and everything looked different.
- They began to believe Jasmine's description, but they felt more and more frightened because it was like an encounter with the devil, just like many folk legends.
- Grey nodded gently and said:
- "I've seen a lot of things beyond your imagination, but this is the first time I've heard of such a thing as a fully automatic wishing machine.
- "compared with the folk legends of wishing lanterns and wish pools, this is really too modern."
- After a pause, Grey's expression became serious:
- "as a fairly experienced law enforcer, I would like to give you three suggestions:
- "first, don't believe in similar things from now on. In most cases, the easy realization of wishes is accompanied by great disasters, and there is no problem at all in saying that it is the temptation of the devil."
- Jasmine nodded heavily, saying she would never dare again-the last experience still scares her to this day.
- "second, go to the church as soon as possible, confess the matter to the bishop and ask him to purify it." Grey looked around and said, "your family must go."
- Seeing that Jasmine and her parents both said she wanted to do this, Grey looked at Jasmine again:
- "there is still a shortage of civilian staff in my department, so you can consider joining us so that I can monitor your situation at any time and deal with anomalies in a timely manner. As for salary, believe me, it is similar to that of government employees."
- The salary is about the same as that of government employees. Can be protected. Is there such a good thing? Jasmine asked in disbelief:
- "what department is it?"
- Grey smiled and said:
- "I'll give you an address, and you can come to my office tomorrow and find out the details."
- ". All right. " Jasmine is in a state of panic, and even if there is a straw in front of him, he will reach out and grab it.
- .
- A week later, Jasmine officially joined the Limon Night Watch team as a civilian.
- "Captain, that cable machine is out of order." She knocked on Grey's door and said gingerly.
- Grey put down the information in her hand, rubbed her forehead and said:
- "report it to the police and let them handle it.
- "really, in the past, we could directly ask the people of the 'mechanical heart' to help, and the repairs were fast and good, but now, hey."
- When Jasmine went out, Grey picked up the information and did it carefully.
- This is the intelligence gathered by the "night watchmen" related to the "automatic wishing machine" in the past week.
- After Jasmine, a similar incident happened more than once!
- After rummaging through the materials, Grey spread out the paper, picked up the absorption pen, and began to write the official documents reported to the Archbishop of Conston and the Church:
- "there have been a number of extraordinary incidents in this city in the last week, involving a strange machine called a fully automatic wishing machine, which is reported to be owned by a self-proclaimed Merlin. Hermes's wandering magician creates, but doesn't rule out other possibilities, at least I think Merlin. Hermes may be just an illusion created by this machine to induce people to use the machine to make a wish.
- "the machine is brass-colored and inlaid with opaque glass, with gears, bearings, rivets, metal pipes and other parts exposed on the surface, which seems to be the product of modern industry.
- Case 1: a young girl disfigured by fire encountered a 'fully automatic wishing machine' on Fields Street in the city square. Her first wish was to return to her original appearance and get a normal realization. Her second wish is to restore her parents' health, which has been realized normally. Her third wish is to become very beautiful, and then, she is no longer like herself, and has a similar charm effect, so that the men around her are irresistible under normal conditions.
- "she claimed to be the first person to use the 'automatic wishing machine', so there was a free quota, and depending on this, she cancelled her third wish.
- Case 2: a retired soldier who took part in the defense of Limon and left a serious psychological trauma encountered a 'fully automatic wishing machine' by the river. His first wish was to bring his state of mind back to normal before the war. His second wish is to make himself a little more handsome, up to the level of men on the covers of many magazines, and has been realized normally. His third wish was to get 100000 pounds and become a rich man. then he was taken a fancy to by the owner of United Steel Company in Limon and wanted to marry him. The lady's wealth was nearly 200000 pounds.
- The retired soldier was unwilling to accept a middle-aged woman who weighed more than 200 pounds and was less than normal and tyrannical, ready to leave Limon for the south. If one day, he doesn't want to work hard, he can easily get the nominal ownership of 100000 pounds of wealth. In a sense, his wish came true, but he was unwilling to accept it.
- "case 3.
- "case 4.
- Case 5: a public school teacher encountered a 'fully automatic wishing machine' in a corner lane near Storm Church. Her first wish is to make herself look better, so that she will no longer be rejected by students and isolated by her colleagues because of her appearance, which has been normally realized. Her second wish was to get a better position, which was realized-because her teaching standard was so high that she was no longer limited in appearance, she soon became the most popular teacher for her students and began to serve as vice principal of teaching.
- "her third wish is to have a husband whose appearance, family background, character and ability can't pick out problems. She finally got a doll who can talk, act, have certain wisdom, have the characteristics of being alive, and is quite handsome in appearance. It comes from the top master. It is whatever character you want, and it has strong abilities in all aspects. Except that it is not a human being, it really does not have any shortcomings.
- "case 6.
- ".
- "combined with these cases, some preliminary guesses can be obtained:
- "the 'automatic wishing machine' can appear anywhere in Limon, and its randomness is very strong. For the time being, no rules have been found.
- "most of the wishes made to it can be realized normally, but a small number of them will be distorted, and the latter is basically focused on the third wish, of course, it may also be because the person who makes the wish is more indulgent until the third wish, and starts to ask for too much greed.
- "most of its wishes are realized by changing its appearance, but it involves a wide range, almost omnipotent.
- "the frequency of its occurrence is also irregular.
- "this is a typical magical object that needs to be sealed, and it obviously exceeds the level of'2' seal. I hope that archbishops and senior deacons will come to deal with it in person, or give effective sealing methods."
- .
- On the steam train leaving Limon, Klein examined the digestion of his miracle potion.
- Chapter 50. Unfamiliar City
- If we accumulate a little bit more, it won't be long before we can answer the prayers of Moon City, cure their deformities, and create a miracle. In addition, it has also preliminarily summed up the acting rules of the "Wonder Master". It is only a matter of time before digestion goes on step by step, and it may be successful by the end of this year. Klein looked back from the window, raised his left arm, manipulated the monster puppet on his hand, and teased the child opposite.
- It makes him look more like a wandering magician.
- If he wants to, he can even use the ability of "life stick" or "grafting" to give the puppet certain living characteristics.
- While teasing the children, Klein's thoughts spread out, thinking about where to "build" the secret couple city needed for the promotion ceremony:
- "if the secret puppet city wants to give birth to the corresponding area in the spirit world, it needs enough interaction, which means that it is not possible to put it in a place abandoned by God, not to mention that it is sealed and cannot be directly connected with the spirit world, but can only rely on a little bit of speciality. even if there are no problems, in the absence of intelligent life, it is very difficult to have enough interaction.
- "you need to be careful enough to put it on the northern and southern continents or sea colonies. Before the ceremony is close to success, you must not expose that this is a secret puppet city, otherwise it will inevitably be disturbed, sabotaged, or even attacked by enemies such as Charatu and Amon.
- "well, there must be a sufficient reason for the emergence of the secret puppet city, and there is nothing unusual in the interaction with the business travelers and the surrounding human beings, so that each secret puppet is a living person with its own past, present and future. All follow their own destiny path.
- "this means that the secret puppet city will be highly complex and need to differentiate into a lot of 'spirit worms' to deal with, which also lurks the risk of getting out of control.
- "those who are husband and wife have to be like husband and wife, those who like alternative things have to show their preferences, and those who are abnormal have to be hated by others. In this way, perhaps outsiders will hear a shameful voice when they stay in the secret puppet city.
- "I'm just a kid.
- "this is the kind of large Reality Show, or the advanced version of 'passing Home,' which must be able to deceive the audience."
- Klein complained to himself as he silently calculated whether his secret couple was enough.
- He has traveled to and from abandoned places several times before, transforming a large number of various monsters that may not have extraordinary characteristics, and in ordinary times, he has consciously controlled a lot of rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies in batches, so as to make the other side of the secret couple city real enough.
- My accumulation now can barely support a small town, and a few more visits to the abandoned land should be enough. Klein had just flashed such an idea when a scene suddenly appeared in front of him:
- At the top of the Giant King's Court bathed in the twilight, the open door closed heavily and slowly.
- It's like a pair of invisible hands closing the entrance to the forsaken land.
- This. Klein's eyes darkened, and he vaguely guessed that the scene meant that the Real Creator was about to re-blockade the abandoned land.
- This is the prophetic power of his angel-level spiritual intuition and foreboding of danger:
- That happens in a few minutes or seconds.
- Did the Real Creator catch Amon? Or have you given up? He re-blockaded God's forsaken land because he didn't want anyone else to go in there? Is that too stingy? Klein mumbled a few words in his heart, a little disappointed for a moment.
- Of course, his secret couple is barely enough, even if there are missing parts, he can go to sea to make up.
- .
- Beckland, Queens.
- Audrey had hardly changed her clothes and sent away many maids to go out when she saw Susie, a big golden dog, coming in.
- "what can I do for you? Are you supposed to be walking at this time? " As a veteran "spectator", Audrey immediately sensed that something was wrong.
- During this time, she has been busy using several foundations that she can exert influence to help workers, farmers and disabled ex-soldiers in need, so that they can wait until new jobs come or the fields are productive in the new season. there is much less communication with Susie than usual.
- At the same time, Audrey is secretly guiding those who want to do so to reorganize Beckland's workers' associations in an attempt to bring together the strength of the workers at the bottom.
- Previous experiences have made it clear to her that pinning hopes on the goodness of the upper class is unreliable and unsustainable, and that individual individuals are very small and defenseless in front of the government, aristocrats and big businessmen, and can only arouse a larger number of people and unite them in order to form some kind of balance.
- The Kingdom of Roon had workers' associations in different industries a long time ago, but the upper echelons of these associations were very easy to buy off and became an effective weapon against ordinary workers.
- Susie glanced at Audrey with a perfectly normal expression, but her mouth seemed out of control, shaking the air and making a low male voice:
- "Miss Audrey, I'm Eric, president of psychological alchemy. Drake, I'd like to see you to discuss your becoming a member of the psychological alchemy panel. I'm in the nearby park. "
- After saying this, Susie breathed a long sigh of relief and regained her original voice:
- "Audrey, there's a strange guy looking for you. I, I can't remember what he looks like. He, he put what he wanted to say directly into my heart island!"
- Audrey's pupils dilated slightly and then returned to normal, and she nodded calmly:
- "where is he in the park?"
- As she spoke, Audrey quietly imagined a personality and entered Susie's spiritual island through the sea of the collective subconscious to see if there were still hidden distortions of consciousness or cognition from the outside world.
- "I don't remember. I was walking. " Susie said as she recalled.
- Then she wagged her tail slightly and said:
- "I don't think you should go. It's dangerous."
- After confirming that Susie had no other hidden dangers through "virtual personality", Audrey exhaled slightly and imperceptibly:
- "if you don't go, you will be more suspicious, so that the danger is also inevitable and may even affect other people in the house."
- Moreover, this is also an opportunity, as Mr. "upside down" said, since the end is coming, then all the efforts and attempts that do not bring disaster are meaningful. Audrey added something to her heart and then said:
- "I will protect myself.
- "Susie, did anything happen to you just now?"
- Susie said with a "woof":
- "No.
- "Audrey, are you really going?"
- "Hmm." Audrey gave a definite answer.
- "then can you take me? Just like before, in their eyes, I'm just a dog. " Susie plucked up her courage and said.
- "No, no, I'll be back soon, and believe me, I'll be blessed by the gods." Audrey responded with a smile.
- Appease Susie, she took advantage of the ability of "psychological invisibility" to leave the luxury villa step by step, just like going out normally.
- When she was far away, in the corner of the first floor, a servant who was cleaning suddenly bowed his head and spit out words he had never learned:
- "fools who do not belong to this era."
- .
- Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace.
- The figure sitting in the "fool" position naturally examined the newly formed prayer spot and found that the "believer" was very strange.
- "it is consistent with the environment of Miss Justice's house. Suspected of being guided by a 'virtual personality' invading the island of the mind. Miss Justice evades surveillance and prays for protection in this way. " The figure quickly made a judgment, and then transferred the corresponding situation to the Noumenon.
- A few seconds later, Klein entered the Source Castle and let the "spirit bugs" left here get back into his body.
- "Miss Justice is becoming more and more like a high-sequence 'audience'." Klein gave a compliment and turned his eyes to the crimson star that represented justice.
- .
- In the park with the lake.
- Audrey had hardly entered when she saw a large carriage coming, and the driver was an ordinary middle-aged man in an old bowler hat and a dark jacket.
- However, in Audrey's eyes, the rickshaw puller did not exist because he had no corresponding spiritual islands and conscious activities.
- In other words, the coachman is just an illusion and dummy, and the carriage is dominated by the horses themselves.
- A few seconds later, the carriage stopped in front of Audrey and the van door creaked open.
- "Please come in." A low male voice came out of it.
- Audrey picked up her skirt, boarded the carriage and saw a gentleman in a black wheelchair.
- His yellowish eyebrows were long, his hair was neatly combed back, his forehead was slightly wrinkled, and his face was abnormally pale.
- "Mr. Dellau? Aren't you already dead? " Audrey properly expressed her surprise when she knew the gentleman in front of her.
- "for an 'audience', death only represents the end of an identity, and in other plays, I am still alive." The old-school gentleman in a black wheelchair smiled and replied, "apart from the former royal medical adviser and former president of the Beckland School of Medicine, I am the King of the Black Throne on the sea." Hopkins is the famous hermit Eric. Drake, wait. "
- "what should I call you?" Audrey asked politely as she watched the door close automatically out of the corner of her eye.
- The old-fashioned gentleman rubbed the wheels on both sides of his seat and said:
- "you can call me Mr. President, or you can continue to call me Mr. Dellau."
- He then pointed to the row on the left side of the car:
- "have a seat. Let's go to a place first, and then we'll talk about you becoming a member of the panel of psychological alchemy."
- Audrey nodded gently and sat down calmly.
- Undisguised, she looked out of the window and was slightly surprised to find that in a blink of an eye, the park had become a strange city, shrouded in the city of night.
- There are magnificent buildings with mysterious and dark feeling in the city, and there are gentlemen in top hats and trench coats and women in complicated and gloomy dresses.
- Audrey glanced and saw a gentleman beside the carriage with short black hair on his face and sharp fangs in his mouth.
- This is a werewolf.
- Chapter 51 "Arrogance"
- "what is this place?" Audrey asked without much change, as if she were asking about the location of tonight's dance.
- Paulie, who claims to be the president of psychological alchemy. Delaw also looked out of the window and smiled and said:
- "this is the city in everyone's heart.
- "where there are people, there is it."
- Audrey nodded thoughtfully:
- "that is to say, you can enter here from any corner of human society?"
- Del Laugh rubbed the wheelchair and said:
- "Yes."
- Without much explanation, he pointed to the sidewalks outside the carriage window:
- "everything here has a corresponding psychological symbol, they are called 'animal lust'."
- Animal lust. Audrey repeated the word silently, looking farther away while sitting in a dignified posture.
- Among the "pedestrians", in addition to werewolves, there were bears walking upright, a lazy cat, a weirdo with a beautiful spider on his face, a giant mouse with red eyes, a python spitting out his heart, and some kind of dog creature that looked at every passer-by with a desire to mate.
- They wear top hats and trench coats, or elaborate dark skirts, trying to imitate humans in every detail, but they can't make themselves look like people.
- Driving in the dim night, the carriage passed between the "pedestrians" and various Gothic buildings, and soon reached a church in the middle of the city.
- The church is more than 80 meters high and is supported by huge black pillars, each of which is inlaid with a certain number of skulls, some from humans and from different creatures, but all aim their hollow eyes down. it's as if you're watching every creature that enters the church.
- Like most buildings here, the details of the church are exquisite, but they are made up of nightmares, horror, horror and mystery.
- Getting out of the carriage and through the front door, Audrey saw a magnificent but empty hall.
- In the depths of the hall stood a huge cross with a gray dragon statue wrapped around it.
- Unlike an ordinary church, there are no rows of seats for believers to pray or candlesticks, but a small table with five seats on each side, empty at the top and bottom, in front of the dragon statue.
- Paulie. Delaw steered his wheelchair to the top of the long table and pointed to his left:
- "Please have a seat."
- Audrey followed him slowly, glanced left and right, opened a chair at random, and sat down.
- She was neither near nor far from the psychological alchemy president, showing that she was on the right alert and did not look guilty.
- Paulie. Delaw raised his hands and held the pestle to the surface of the long table:
- "Miss Audrey, I have something to ask you."
- "go ahead." Audrey turned her head slightly and responded to each other's gaze with green eyes.
- Delaw nodded slightly and said:
- "I want to know how you got promoted to sequence 4 'manipulator'. Where did you get your potion formula and extraordinary features?"
- Audrey replied calmly:
- "from a deal.
- "there is a consignor who hopes to get the help of the demigod of the 'audience' and prepares the magic potion formula and special features of the 'manipulator'."
- Del Lowe gave a sudden smile:
- "how can such a thing happen? Generous terms are like a father looking for an excuse to give a gift to his daughter.
- "can you tell me exactly what kind of help you have provided?"
- "besiege another demigod. In this case, mental control is crucial. " Audrey gave a brief explanation.
- Her attitude was calm, as if she were talking about the homework assigned by the tutor.
- Dellau's long, fluffy eyebrows moved:
- "did it work?"
- "the result is obvious." Audrey gave the answer relatively politely.
- Delaw looked her up and down, as if to realize that the aristocratic maiden on the left was a "manipulator" who could kill other demigod.
- Audrey read out his thoughts and added:
- "I'm just one of the participants."
- Delaw nodded and said:
- "do you know where the consignor's' manipulator 'potion formula and extraordinary features come from?"
- "he didn't say it directly." Audrey gave an answer in a sentence that had long been conceived.
- "him? Can you tell me who he is? " Asked Dellau, thinking about it.
- Audrey has been on guard against the other party's "virtual personality", sneaking into her own island of mind, but from the beginning to the present, she has not found anything unusual.
- This makes her wonder whether the other person does not need to sneak in, just observe the movements of the collective subconscious sea around her, so that she can see what she really thinks.
- She did not cover it up and calmly replied:
- "this involves my agreement with him. I think keeping promises should be a moral standard recognized by the whole world, and in the occult, it involves a lot."
- At this point, Audrey volunteered:
- "if you can't really believe me because of the concealment of this problem, I am willing to accept it.
- I can just be an ordinary member and exchange my contribution for psychological research materials I can get. "
- Delaw smiled at the words:
- "it's normal for everyone to have their own secrets, and what I need to assess is whether your secrets will affect the safe operation of the whole psychological alchemy."
- He took a deep look at Audrey and then said:
- "then can you tell me how you know such a trustee?"
- "I remember that I once reported to you that before I joined the psychological alchemy club, I had met some people and met some extraordinary people in the mystical circle." Audrey said really no more real words.
- As for the real logical order of those answers, it is another matter.
- And, Herwin. Rambis'"disappearance" stems from the investigation of Forth and Hugh, a fact that both sides have not communicated but are absolutely agreed upon.
- Delaw withdrew his hands on the table and placed them on his chest and abdomen:
- "one more problem, the last time you saw Herwin. When was Rambis? "
- Audrey frowned slightly and said:
- "I remember you asked."
- Herwin. After Rambis' death, she did not immediately lose contact with the psychological alchemy, but still maintained some contact with the upper echelons through Hilbert, Stephen and Eslant, until the war approached Beckland. it was only when the war approached that she found that the members of her psychological research group could not get in touch with each other for a variety of reasons.
- "I need to reconfirm in person." Said Dellau calmly.
- Audrey nodded gently and said:
- "the last time I saw Herwin. Commissioner Rambis was in Viscount Graylint's mansion, and at his command, I hypnotized two extraordinary friends I knew and asked them why they were investigating Viscount Stroford and who was behind it.
- "at that time, Herwin. Commissioner Rambis was nearby, making sure there was no accident in hypnosis, and when he got the answer, he quickly left.
- "I never saw him again after that day."
- In the course of her answer, Audrey was still preventing her heart island from being invaded, but it was calm and nothing happened.
- Instead of making Audrey feel relaxed, Audrey became more vigilant and afraid to even think about Mr. Fool and the World German. Anything to do with Sparrow.
- She was only sure of one thing: as long as she was in danger of exposure, Mr. Fool would surely provide protection.
- "consistent with the previous answer." Delaw nodded slowly.
- Then he looked into Audrey's green eyes and said calmly:
- "I can't use the occult method to trace the source of that extraordinary characteristic in you, which shows that there is an unimaginable existence behind that provider."
- Audrey nodded her head a little hard, indicating that she thought so, too.
- "I can't force you not to cooperate and trade with other extraordinary people. It's impractical. I just want you to promise not to reveal anything about psychological alchemy to anyone. At least, when you want to delegate certain tasks, you have to pack up and cover up the secret." Delaw looked back and said calmly.
- Audrey replied without hesitation:
- "I promise not to tell creatures who do not have the corresponding authority about psychological alchemy."
- She took the initiative to expand the concept of human beings to creatures in order to fill the loophole in her promise.
- As soon as she spoke, she felt that one idea after another appeared in the island of her heart.
- These thoughts are intertwined into an illusory web that seeps into Audrey's inner island of mind and becomes her subconscious.
- Because this "net of restriction" comes from Audrey's own spirituality, even if she becomes an angel, she will not be able to clear it, and she will lose the willingness to communicate about matters related to psychological alchemy when she is not a member of psychological alchemy or a member of psychological alchemy who does not have enough authority.
- And she didn't realize it herself.
- He did not invade the island of my heart, just by my own words, let the promise become the essence. Audrey was surprised, but the surface was not so obvious.
- Of course, she did not completely restrain herself, because she was surprised that this method was the instinctive reaction of a "manipulator".
- Based on this, she suspected that either there was something wrong with the city in the heart, or that Dellau's psychological alchemy was more than the saint level.
- Seeing Audrey's promise, Delaw pointed to the long table with satisfaction.
- "from now on, you will be a member of the panel of psychological alchemy.
- "you can choose a personality mask as your code name."
- As he spoke, seven gray, illusory, unusually cold masks appeared on the long table, five of which were placed in their respective positions and seemed to have an owner.
- "there are two personality masks left, one is fury and the other is arrogance." "they come from the scripture of the Creator of the Tertiary period," Dellau said. "
- Audrey thought for a second and extended her hand to the anger-free mask:
- "I choose arrogance."
- Delaw glanced at her and said with a low smile:
- "this is also the time when Herwin. Rambis' choice. "
- Chapter 52—Seven Commissioners
- Audrey paused slightly in her right hand, then returned to normal and picked up the mask of personality known as arrogance.
- "the 50% probability is not low." She responded briefly to Paulie. Del Lowe, please.
- This is to say, pick Herwin if you choose one of the two. The mask Rambis once wore was not a surprising coincidence.
- With that, Audrey put the cold gray mask on her face.
- Almost instantly, she felt that she had a "virtual personality" in the island of her heart.
- This does not come from the outside world, but from the magnification and radicalization of some kind of cognition:
- "they are very poorly educated and must be guided by me to make the right choice.
- "not everyone is wise enough. On the contrary, most people are stupid.
- "those workers do things on impulse rather than reason, they are easily seduced by small benefits, short-sighted, only I think, I guide, I make decisions, can save them.
- "they are worthy of pity, but not worth communicating with.
- "."
- These thoughts reverberated in Audrey's mind, making her almost think that this was the truth, after all, it was part of the feedback she had received in her previous observations and experiences, not made up out of thin air.
- With a glance, Audrey saw herself from the smooth surface of the long table:
- On the cold gray mask, the eyes moved up and fixed to the forehead, as if they only looked high and did not care about anything else, giving a sense of funny, grotesque and creepy.
- Audrey was silent for a moment, and only after a few seconds did she say in a low voice:
- "is this arrogance?"
- If she hadn't got rid of the misunderstanding of cognition by communicating with Mr. World, Mr. upside down, Ms. Hermit and others, she might have been really affected by the virtual personality of the "arrogance" mask.
- As for what will happen after being affected, she cannot judge at the moment.
- "you are returning to normal much faster than I thought, and it seems that you are not lost in the experience of 'manipulating' others." Said Dellau approvingly.
- Audrey replied thoughtfully:
- "Herwin. Mr. Rambis has been acting a little arrogant. "
- Delaw clasped his hands on his chest and abdomen and said:
- "can you observe it?"
- "only occasionally, some details." Audrey answered with two phrases.
- Delaw sighed, smiled and shook his head:
- "Herwin. Rambis was more affected by this personality mask than I expected, and he was usually well camouflaged.
- "under this premise, I am not surprised that he is missing. Arrogance will make him unable to see the road under his feet, and will make him look down on the extraordinary people who are weaker than himself, which often brings great danger."
- Audrey refrained from thinking about Herwin. The impulse of Rambis' death weighed and asked:
- "these seven personality masks can magnify the corresponding cognition and emotion, help us realize our own problems, and thus solve them in a targeted way. at the same time, they will also bring certain negative effects and unwittingly change the wearer's personality."
- Delaw nodded slightly:
- "in the spiritual realm, it is difficult to have pure, harmless external help, and there must be enough endogenous strength to avoid the corresponding negative effects.
- "you can recognize this, which shows that you are on the right path."
- Audrey was about to take the opportunity to discuss some spiritual problems when she saw a mask of personality disappearing from the table.
- She subconsciously turned her head, looked at the church entrance, and saw a figure pass through the gate and came in.
- The figure was dressed in a three-piece suit, held a half-tall silk bowler hat in his hand, and wore a personality mask that had just disappeared.
- The mouth of the mask grinned wide open all the way to the base of the ear and remained open, as if to swallow everything seen by both eyes.
- "this is Mr. gluttony, a member of the panel of our Psychological Alchemy Association." Dellowe made an introduction to Audrey.
- Next, several other members of the panel of psychological alchemy arrived one after another, namely, Mr. Lust, Ms. greed, Miss laziness and Mr. jealousy.
- As an experienced "audience", Audrey first noticed the differences in their personality masks:
- "greed" is similar to "gluttony". The mouth grinds to the base of the ear, but it is not open, and the eyes are closed.
- "lust" is similar to "arrogance", but the eyes are different from ordinary people, they sink to the middle of the bridge of the nose, as if looking at people from the bottom up;
- The eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the "jealousy" mask are skewed to a certain extent, and have their own gloomy temperament.
- The eyes of the "lazy" mask are tightly closed and the mouth is naturally drooping, giving the impression that the wearer is sleeping.
- Seeing that all the original members of the panel had arrived, Delaw smiled and said:
- "Let's wait for another friend who will be the seventh member of the panel. Oh, eighth, I forgot to count myself."
- No sooner had he spoken than a figure came in at the main entrance of the church.
- The figure was dressed in a shirt, vest, black trench coat and half-high silk hat. At first glance, he was a very fashionable gentleman.
- But Audrey made a little observation and found that what was under the human clothing was a giant rabbit with bright red eyes and snow-white hair.
- The rabbit came in step by step and stopped on the side of the long table, right next to Audrey.
- "Unfortunately, you have only one choice." Delaw smiled and pointed to the "rage" mask on the table.
- The rabbit made a male human voice:
- "I have always been gentle, just in time to experience the feeling of rage."
- As he spoke, he picked up the personality mask and put it on his face.
- The mask has wide eyes and a wide mouth, and seems to roar at any moment.
- When Mr. fury sat down next to Audrey, Dellau patted his hand and said:
- "I would like to formally introduce the two new members of the panel.
- "this is Miss arrogance, and this is Mr. fury. They are all demigod and have deep attainments in the spiritual field.
- "among them, Miss arrogance is in charge of the Baekeland region of the Kingdom of Roon."
- Speaking of which, Delaw looked at Audrey and said:
- "you may not know that we are rooted in large groups of psychologists, psychiatrists and corresponding enthusiasts, and our power is mainly concentrated in metropolises rather than small towns and villages, so each committee member is responsible for a certain city. with the surrounding area."
- Then Delaw continued:
- "Mr. fury is in charge of Asala, the capital of Renburg;
- "Mr. Lust is in charge of Trier, the capital of Intis;
- "Ms. greed is in charge of San Milon, the capital of Fossack;
- "Miss laziness is in charge of the city of Fenerport, the capital of Fenerport;
- "Mr. jealousy is in charge of the city of Tiris in the Republic of Intis;
- "Mr. gluttony is in charge of the city of Conston in the kingdom of Roon."
- After the introduction, Delau added two words:
- "the purpose of our psychological alchemy is to explore, discover and study, and we do not care about the scope of influence, the number of members, the degree of possession of resources, and so on. Therefore, we have no members of the panel in the Sea of Fog, the Sea of Storm and the Sea of Sunna, as well as the Southern Continent. Of course, from time to time, some members will go to the sea to explore relics and pursue ancient history. Hehe, forget it. I am the 'king of the black seat' on the five seas. "
- St. Millon, Conston, Tiris. Nearly half of the committee members of the Psychological Alchemy Association are in the Jianhai area. Audrey was acutely aware of a problem.
- She came from an aristocratic family, received a good education from an early age, and was no stranger to the geographical location of various cities in the northern continent, knowing that St. Milon in Fossack, Conston in Ruon and Diris in Intis were all big cities along the sea.
- Although none of them can compare with the three major cities of Beckland, Trier and Fenerport, they are not small in size, and there are many medium-sized cities around them, which makes the coast of Jianhai the most economically developed and populous region in the northern continent.
- Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the focus of psychological alchemy is on Jianhai. Audrey did not expect that psychological alchemy did not seem to have much interest in expansion.
- After several members of the panel got to know each other, Delaw turned to Audrey and said:
- "Miss arrogance, affected by the war, Beckland's psychological alchemy will suffer a lot of losses. many members have lost contact. I will give you the specific list later, and you will be responsible for determining the whereabouts of those members and reorganizing them.
- "in the process, I advise you not to use your real image and real name, virtual one or more identities to accomplish these things, Herwin. Rambis is not good enough at this point. I think he is a little arrogant. "
- Audrey nodded gently and agreed.
- Delaw immediately looked back and said:
- "the second thing to discuss today is the whereabouts of the spiritual dragon in East Chestershire, King Roon.
- "the custom of dragon worship in Hedrak has not weakened in the past two years. I suspect that the spiritual dragon is still influencing it in some way, and maybe we can find its whereabouts.
- "I wonder who would like to deal with this matter?"
- After asking the question, he remembered that the new Miss "arrogance" and Mr. "rage" did not know enough about the situation, so he briefly talked about the exploration made before the psychological alchemy and the death of all members of his archaeological team.
- Audrey actually participated in some of the early things, at this time see that there is a suitable reason to intervene, can not help but palpitate.
- She doesn't really want to hunt the spiritual dragon, but wants to communicate with each other and master more spiritual knowledge and secrets.
- However, she was in no hurry to raise her hand to take up the task, and as a member of the panel for the first time, she would rather miss it than show it.
- "it's Roon's business, and it's not right for us to get involved." Mr. Lust looked around and said, "unless Miss arrogance and Mr. gluttony really don't have time."
- Audrey waited a few more seconds. Seeing that gluttony did not open her mouth, Audrey looked at Del Laugh and said:
- "I will try to investigate, but I need more detailed information."
- Chapter 53 "The Life-Saving Spell"
- Seeing that Audrey was willing to try to investigate, Delaw nodded gently:
- "the detailed information will be given to you later, but I must remind you that this matter is very dangerous and must not be careless."
- At this point, Delaw paused and said:
- "if you have an accident and you can't solve it on your own, you can try to say a name, which will save you."
- "what's the name?" Audrey asked with guesswork in her mind.
- Delaw's expression suddenly became serious:
- "it comes from the scripture of the Creator in the Tertiary period, involves the highest mystery of the spiritual realm, and is closely related to something in our psychological alchemy.
- "it's Adam."
- Adam. Audrey was not surprised at all, but she was still confused on the surface, as if she didn't know what the name meant and what it meant.
- Without an explanation, Dellau said:
- "as a member of the panel, you are supposed to be in charge of a'1' seal, but you and Wrath have just entered this category, and it will take some time to investigate, and the former member of the Beckland region, Herwin. Rambis, we have lost a very important seal, and we are considering whether to change the way the seal is used to apply for it.
- "that is to say, all the seals are kept in this spiritual city, you usually do not own, you must encounter an event, make an application, can be used briefly."
- The "greedy" lady in charge of San Miron, the capital of Fossack, immediately shook her head:
- "there is a serious flaw in this approach, which is that we can't cope with accidents. No matter the enemy or the monster, once encountered, it is impossible to give us time to apply for the seal.
- "I think the current approach is good enough that each person is in charge of a'1' seal to deal with accidents, and then apply for something else when necessary."
- Delaw smiled and said:
- "it used to be better, but now you don't have to worry.
- "as long as you have a chance to resist in an accident, you can go directly into this spiritual city to avoid the enemy and claim things.
- "if you don't have a chance, as I just said, pronounce the name 'Adam'."
- You said "Adam" twice, and that one is probably already watching here, no, he may have been watching here from the very beginning. Audrey almost made her heart beat faster.
- "so how do we get in here without your invitation?" Mr. jealousy asked as he nodded.
- Delaw pointed to his face:
- "from this panel meeting, you can take your own personality mask out of the city.
- "wherever you are, as long as there are at least two humans around you, well, apart from yourselves, you can enter the city by putting on the corresponding personality masks.
- "and these seven personality masks themselves are illusory, are closely related to some of your perceptions, and do not need to be preserved in a special way. You can take it out of the sea of the collective subconscious around you whenever you want. "
- At this time, wearing a "gluttony" mask, the husband, who gave people a sense of indulgence, thought about the following:
- "will taking the personality mask out of the city have a negative impact on our mental state and real personality?"
- "there will be a point that needs to be paid attention to, but I think you are all experts in the field of mind and have enough ability to solve this problem." Dellau said calmly.
- Audrey was a little worried that the seven personality masks had something to do with Adam, but she dared not think so in this spiritual city, forcing herself to restrain her thoughts and respond to what she had said before:
- "I can accept both ways of keeping the'1' seal, and I will patiently wait for the end of the inspection period."
- "Miss, you are not arrogant at all." The sleepy "lazy" lady smiled and commented.
- After discussing the spiritual dragon in East Chestershire, the other five committee members introduced matters worthy of attention in their respective regions and exchanged intelligence.
- In the process, Mr. gluttony, who seemed ready to eat a cow and put on ten rings, said:
- "the Conston area has not been calm lately, and a number of near-miraculous things have happened in succession:
- "first, the city of Conston was rebuilt overnight; second, the citizens of Beldan lost their memory for a period of time at the same time; and third, there were powerful wizards who were happy to realize other people's wishes, wandering on the east coast of Jianhai, called Merlin. Hermes, related to this, is also an item called a fully automatic wishing machine.
- "in addition to this, I noticed something unusual-many rats, cockroaches and crows in Conston lost their hearts within a few days after the miraculous recovery of the city."
- "Why are you aware of this problem?" Mr. "lust" looked at "gluttony" with a look from the bottom up.
- Gluttony swallowed saliva and said, "I've been studying the mental problems of ordinary creatures. Mice, cockroaches and crows are all my subjects."
- Several members of the panel immediately discussed this research direction, and the meeting officially entered the third phase.
- Audrey gained a lot from their academic exchanges, listened attentively and shared some of her experiences from time to time.
- "well, this is the end of this meeting of the panel." After a while, Delaw patted his hand.
- Audrey was about to get up subconsciously and lead the rest of the committee to salute, but she quickly came to her senses and continued to sit there, with the penultimate member standing up.
- Before leaving, she asked with a little curiosity:
- "Mr. President, does this city have a name?"
- "Yes." Delaw said with a smile, "the Garden of Eden."
- The Garden of Eden. Audrey asked thoughtfully when she saw the rest of the panel members walking towards the door.
- "there are many churches here, which should symbolize the faith itself. Er, I don't know who the 'residents' here believe in."
- Delaw nodded and replied solemnly:
- "the omniscient and omnipotent Creator."
- .
- The Garden of Eden. The omniscient and omnipotent Creator. Adam didn't do this. I'll write my name upside down! Above the gray fog, inside the old palace, Klein looked at the crimson star representing Miss Justice and said a few words to himself.
- Moreover, the strategy of pronouncing the name "Adam" in the face of danger is almost undisguised.
- Since Miss Justice entered the Garden of Eden, the "real vision" provided by "Source Castle" has been suppressed, and Klein can only use each other's point of view to observe the surrounding situation. just like the "mysterious Queen" Bernardi was used as a fixed shot on the pristine island. To some extent, this also shows the personality of the spiritual city of the Garden of Eden.
- Klein then tapped on the edge of the long mottled table, showing pen and paper, ready to write out his thoughts.
- This is not that he is unable to analyze purely by thinking, but that it is necessary for him to repeatedly deliberate and examine the details in the face of the existence of Adam, so it is necessary for him to form words on the paper to help him review and fill in the gaps over and over again:
- "the basic premise is that Adam has become a true god with the help of the previous total war promotion sequence 0, and can be called a 'dreamer'.
- "Miss Justice happens to be in Herwin. Rambis became the "manipulator" of sequence 4 for some time after his death, persuading others but not Adam.
- "what does Adam want to do? Arranging a saint in sequence 4 is not in line with his status as a 'dreamer' unless he wants something else.
- "is his real goal the spiritual dragon, or is it me behind Miss Justice?
- "We must be vigilant and not careless in this respect.
- "in the Garden of Eden, the church where the panel of psychological alchemy is located is a bit like Adam's church of the remains, but only a little like it, except that there are varying numbers of skulls inlaid on the stone pillars outside, and there is no corresponding arrangement on the inside, and the color is dark and very dark. What does that mean?
- "what does the gray dragon wrapped around the huge cross symbolize? The first step in the effort to resurrect the Creator?
- "well, Adam is already a dreamer, and if his father or the original Creator returns, he will be the first to have bad luck. Is he willing to sacrifice himself for it? Is that what paranoia means?
- "the rabbit is suspected of Hermes. However, as an angel through the "audience", there is no reason why he could not break the transformation curse of Miss Messenger for so long, especially when he has a 'dreamer' who can help. Well, Hermes did it on purpose?
- "by the way, Dellau, the president of psychological alchemy, said that for the 'audience', death only represents the end of an identity, and he can participate in other plays in other places as well.
- "to sum up, can we think that if the 'audience' passes to sequence 3 or sequence 2, they can separate some of the identities they once had and turn them into 'living people', and even if these identities die, it will not lead to the fall of the body?
- "it does look like the front of the visionary.
- "well, Hermes separated his cursed rabbit as an identity and directly participated in the psychological alchemy? What on earth does he want to do? At first, when the hermit communicated within the society at dusk, he sat next to the Emperor. "
- When he had finished, Klein put down his pen and carefully read the contents of the paper several times, full of mysteries.
- In the end, he could only decide to observe again, with caution.
- At this time, Audrey, Justice, drove out of the Garden of Eden and returned to the park with a man-made lake in Queens.
- In no hurry to pray to Mr. Fool for a better way to seal the mask of arrogance, she went back to her luxury villa as if nothing had happened.
- Chapter 54: Mind Mail
- Susie is squatting at the door, waiting for Audrey to return.
- At this time, as soon as he saw her approaching, the big golden dog immediately greeted her and gave a gifted "Wang" twice and wagged his tail.
- Instead of inquiring on the spot, she accompanied Audrey back to her bedroom and said:
- "is it over?"
- Audrey said "yes", saying that there was no problem.
- "what can I do for you?" Pursued Susie.
- "not for the time being." Audrey shook her head slightly.
- Because of Susie's concern, she instinctively recalled her experience, only to find that she could no longer remember the image and name of the president of psychological alchemy, even from the "world" German. Some of the information known to Sparrow also needs to be remembered with concentration.
- Frankly speaking, her "manipulator" can do similar things in front of extraordinary people below the demigod, but it is almost impossible to influence a saint in the spiritual realm and make him unaware, unless the other person has been hypnotized, comatose, and enslaved.
- That gentleman may be at a higher level than I expected. Audrey controlled her emotions and calmly made a certain judgment.
- She winked at Susie and let the big golden dog guard the door, while she sketched the mask of "arrogance" in her mind.
- Just as she thought about it, she felt a slight fluctuation in the sea of the collective subconscious around her.
- In a flash of thought, Audrey held out her left hand, grabbed it sideways and forward, and took out an unusually cold, illusory gray mask.
- As long as you think about it, this "arrogance" mask will come to me? Or does it already exist in my subconscious, following me all the time? Audrey carefully examined the island of her heart and gave the idea of letting the mask of arrogance disappear.
- The cold, illusory gray mask quickly became transparent and melted into the surrounding sea of the collective subconscious.
- Audrey is still unable to judge where the "arrogance" mask went and why it appeared in such a timely manner.
- This made her more alert and decided to pray to Mr. Fool as soon as she had the chance and make a wish to seal the personality mask.
- Just when she wanted to do a few more experiments to peep out more knowledge from the "arrogant" mask, she did not need to use the extraordinary ability of the "manipulator" to see the sea of the collective subconscious sloshing gently.
- A little glimmer of light "swam" from afar, became bigger and bigger, more and more obvious, and finally turned into an illusory letter.
- The letter stopped in front of Audrey's heart island and seemed to be looking for a way to complete the delivery.
- Audrey, of course, would not let foreign things into her conscious world, quickly reached out her left hand and touched the illusory letter.
- Seeing that her fingers were about to touch the surface of the letter, Audrey suddenly stopped.
- Her experience and IQ tell her at the same time:
- Don't come into contact with anything in the occult world, especially in the spiritual field, otherwise it will be easily polluted and have mental problems!
- Thinking of this, Audrey imagined a personality as a leader and put on the long black gauze gloves of "hands of fear".
- When she was ready to do so, she reached for the illusory letter and watched it peel off in the palm of her palm and unfold page by page.
- This is all the information about the spiritual dragon in East Chestershire.
- Send a message with the sea of the collective subconscious. The high-level ability of the "audience" approach is amazing. As a "manipulator", Audrey has been trying to maintain her original yearning for the occult world, the simple pursuit of "fantasy" and "magic".
- This is one of the ways that she does not allow herself to get lost in the experience of "manipulation" and is not gradually assimilated by the sea of the collective subconscious.
- After going through all the materials, Audrey melted the illusory letter into the sea of the collective subconscious.
- She was still in no hurry to pray to Mr. Fool and went out to do something else according to the previous arrangement.
- At dusk, before the family dinner began, she found a space, said a quick prayer in her bedroom and made a wish.
- The next second, Audrey saw the gray "arrogance" mask emerge from the collective subconscious in front of her, and the illusion disappeared little by little, flashing a small amount of metallic luster.
- For some reason, this face has a certain sense of reality, between the illusory and the real.
- This means that it is physically isolated from Audrey's spiritual island.
- Of course, it also lost the ability to return directly to the sea of the collective subconscious.
- Audrey took this "arrogant" mask and tried to take off the "lie" that turned into an emerald necklace, overlapping the two.
- As she expected, the half-real and half-illusory "arrogance" mask was embedded in the "lie" and turned into a rough pattern that looked like a human face.
- In the future, I will carry it with me in this way, so that my personality mask will not have any contact with my mind and body, until I need to use it. Audrey, in a twinkling of her mind, sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
- She immediately went out and went to the banquet hall at home.
- On the way, she met her father, count Hall.
- "good news." Said count Hall with a smile.
- Audrey made no secret of her surprise:
- "is Alfred coming back?"
- This is her other brother.
- "how can you guess?" Earl Hall said with slight surprise, "in the second half of the year, he will return to Beckland as a general."
- In the second half of the year. Susie is a dream walker. Audrey thought for a moment and then asked:
- "Dad, when are we going back to East Chestershire?"
- As soon as the war ended, the whole kingdom had so much to do that the aristocracy did not return to their fiefdoms in the New year and had been stranded in Baekeland, and it was now the end of February.
- Count Hall nodded and said:
- "about April."
- .
- Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace.
- "soul mail". Watch out for the virus, don't mess up. With a sigh, Klein threw the curtain, which represents the extraordinary characteristics of the Secret waiter, back into the sundries pile, allowing it to cover all the objects there.
- He just used the self-named "grafting" ability to satisfy Miss Justice's wish, connecting the illusory concept of a personality mask with the metallic texture of an ordinary iron mask, and gave orders to the "spirit worms" who were on duty to replenish their strength on time so that the "grafting" could be maintained.
- "judging from the description of Mr. gluttony at the Psychological Alchemy, Charatou seems to have tracked down the city of Conston, and I have to be more careful." Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the long mottled table, leaving one "spirit worm" after another on the surface of his body.
- His figure then disappeared in the "Source Castle".
- .
- In Winter County, in the Ammanda Mountains, in the church of serenity.
- Leonard got a document from the pope.
- This will be the first thing he will be responsible for when he becomes a senior deacon.
- Back in his room, Leonard leisurely leaned back in his chair, put his feet on the desk, and then opened the papers in his hand, one by one:
- "Merlin, a wandering magician who delights in satisfying other people's wishes. Hermes. The overnight reconstruction of the city of Conston. A fully automatic wishing machine. Sequence 4 of the 'fortune teller' pathway is called 'trickster', sequence 3 is called 'ancient scholar', and sequence 2 is called 'miracle master'. "
- Leonard watched and suddenly fell silent.
- After a few seconds, he asked in a low voice:
- "Old man, how many angels from the 'fortune teller' pathway are active on earth?"
- Paris. Zoroaster gave a "tsk":
- "this is acting, ah, there should be only one 'miracle master' who still needs to be played at present.
- "you should know who I'm talking about."
- Leonard looked at the information in his hand again and mumbled:
- "you had a good time."
- He has decided that the main purpose of this mission is to play the "night watchman", digest the potions in the body, travel by the way, and as for the handling of the incident, the focus is to find a reasonable explanation.
- After disillusioned through the thick data, Leonard withdrew his feet and stood up.
- He is going to pick up the "1" seal that belongs to his senior deacon.
- For other night church saints, this is quite a headache, because the negative effect of the seal is not so easy to bear, especially when it needs to be carried for a long time, but if you choose a sacred object that suits you better, then there will be the problem of ability repetition.
- And Leonard does not need to worry about this problem, as long as the seal he likes has a living characteristic, he can ask the old man to "parasitize" a "worm of time" to go in, so that the negative effect of the seal is significantly reduced and become as clever as the words of the Sea.
- So, the point is to pick the ability. Leonard whistled and walked out of the room.
- .
- At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, in the old palace above the fog.
- The light of crimson rises one after another and solidifies into different figures.
- "Sun" Derrick has not needed to count his heartbeat many times, just look at the wall clock and calculate the Beckland time to know how much longer the Tarot party will take. At this time, he stood up with Miss Justice and saluted to the top of the long bronze table with the rest of the Tarot Society:
- "good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
- After sitting down and greeting each other, Emlin, the Moon, glanced around and said:
- "I wonder if there is something special about the 'cultivator' and the 'moon' approach compared to other ways?"
- After asking the question, he made no secret and added quite calmly:
- "I have recently learned that the internal system of the Earth Church is different from normal, which is divided into two parts: the benefactor and the loved one."
- After Emlin's brief description of the Moon, Alger, the Hermit, Leonard and others looked at each other and could not give a reasonable explanation.
- Of course, everyone here, including the Sun Derrick, can hear the abnormality in the internal system of the Earth Church.
- Just then they heard a gentle sigh.
- This sigh seems to come from an age older than old, from the "fool" at the top of the mottled long table.
- Chapter 55 Special Six Paths
- "Fool" Klein looked around slowly, and instead of explaining as expected, he stopped sighing and smiled and asked a question:
- "where do you think the source of the 22 extraordinary paths is?"
- This is one of the three core questions of the occult, and there has never been an accepted answer. Each school has its own theory, and no one can convince the other.
- Gadelia, the Hermit, thought about it and replied:
- "the essence of the world is knowledge, the essence of knowledge is number, and human beings are number. The extraordinary characteristic of 22 ways is also number, and everything is numbered. It has been like this since its birth."
- What she gives is the theory of Morse asceticism, but this is not equal to her own point of view.
- "all seven churches believe that extraordinary characteristics come from the original Creator, who incarnated all things, including gods, human beings, sea, land and extraordinary characteristics." "Star," Leonard simply described, "of course, this is an explanation for deacons and above, and the official extraordinary under sequence 6 does not need to know so much."
- Then he glanced at Emlin "the Moon" and said:
- "the life school believes that the world is divided into three layers, the material world, the soul world and the absolute rational world. The extraordinary characteristic is the projection of certain things in the absolute rational world in the material world and the soul world. Therefore, the characteristics will not die out, but will only be reorganized."
- Now it seems that the absolutely rational world advocated by the life school may refer to the things represented by the "river of fate". The fool Klein thought of will. Onsetin, but remained silent and did not interrupt the communication of the Tarot members.
- Emlin, the Moon, glanced back at the Stars and said:
- "as one of the masters of the second century, we kindred believe that extraordinary characteristics do come from the original creator, and then different characteristics accumulate, giving birth to ancient gods, who created different races."
- This is the blood clan's explanation of the first period, and the "moon" Emlin already has some doubts about it. After all, he came into contact with a lot of secrets at the Tarot meeting.
- "hanging upside down," Alger nodded slightly.
- "although there are many explanations for the origin of extraordinary characteristics, most of them point to the original creators, such as the Orthodox Church, the aurora and Silver City."
- "that is to say, the extraordinary characteristic comes from the more consistent cognition of the Creator in the first place?" Justice asked Audrey thoughtfully.
- Psychological alchemy will mainly study the spiritual world and the collective subconscious sea, and lack a complete theoretical explanation for the origin of extraordinary characteristics.
- "something like that." "upside down" Alger did not hide his point of view.
- Just then, "Fool" Klein said with a slight sigh:
- "not all."
- Instead of giving a long speech, he just gave a relatively vague answer.
- Not all of them. What Mr. "Fool" means is that extraordinary characteristics do come from the original Creator, but not all of them, and a few of them are special cases? Is this why there are special ways of "cultivator" and "moon"? "hanging upside down" Alger thought a lot in an instant and grasped the essence of the problem.
- Because the matter had nothing to do with him, the magician Firth, who had been leisurely on the sidelines, asked curiously:
- "Dear Mr. Fool, you seem to mean that most extraordinary characteristics come from the original Creator, with the exception of the cultivator and the Moon, where do they come from?"
- "Fool" Klein said quite succinctly:
- "the starry sky."
- "Starry sky". Emlin, the Moon, was horrified to find that things might be more serious than he thought.
- The Tarot Society has shared underground pollution and the dangers of starry skies, and all members know that these two concepts can be eroded just by understanding.
- When "Justice" Audrey, "Hermit" Gardya and others looked at each other, "Fool" Klein added with a slight sigh:
- "there are more than these two."
- He has been in communication with Qiguang all the time and has identified six of the 22 extraordinary ways that belong to exotic gods.
- "Dear Mr. Fool, what else comes from the starry sky?" "Justice" Audrey habitually raised her hands and asked warily and curiously.
- "Fool" Klein responded succinctly:
- "'prisoner', 'criminal', 'lawyer', 'arbitrator'."
- The first two come from the mother tree of desire, and the last two plus the country of disorder come from the son of chaos.
- Chaos breeds order, but order brings its own shadow.
- "arbitrator". Firth, the magician, turned his head in astonishment and glanced at the trial.
- Just now she felt that the matter had nothing to do with her. She could just watch and not worry. Who knows, the fire immediately reached her doorstep.
- "trial" Xiu slightly frowned and looked at the top of the long bronze table and said:
- "Dear Mr. Fool, I don't usually feel anything unusual, and I've never been apocalypsed, well, from outside you."
- "Fool," Klein smiled and said:
- "'arbitrator' and 'lawyer' are relatively better."
- As far as he knows, the influence of "son of chaos" on "arbitrator" and "lawyer" is not deep. Compared with "fallen Mother God" to "Moon" and "cultivator", "Mother Tree of desire" to "criminal" and "prisoner", this alien god is as quiet as missing.
- "Magician" Forth and "trial" Hugh breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were a little more alert to the future.
- Seeing that Mr. "Fool" didn't explain too much, Emlin "Moon" sorted out his thoughts and said:
- "the special way of 'cultivator' and 'moon' comes from the 'starry sky', and the apocalypse perceived is likely to be a kind of pollution?"
- Alger looked at the "fool" at the top of the mottled table, and saw that he had no intention of opening his mouth, so he nodded and said:
- "that's about it."
- This is a test for me. "Moon" Emlin sighed secretly and said:
- "I have mastered the high-sequence potion names of 'cultivator' and 'Moon', and I am a little confused about two of them."
- After becoming an Earl of consanguinity and a senior deacon of the Earth Church, he was granted access to a lot of information that had been inaccessible in the past.
- See the rest of the Tarot Society looked over, the World German. Sparrow raised his hand and pinched his chin, and Emlin thought and said:
- "sequence 3 of the 'moon' pathway is called 'summoning Master', sequence 2 is called 'Creator', sequence 1 is called 'Beauty', sequence 3 of the 'cultivator' pathway is called 'Man carrying the coffin', sequence 2 is called 'barren Mother', and sequence 1 is called 'Natural Walker'.
- "what puzzles me is that the names of the two potions, 'Beautiful God' and 'barren Mother', both have a certain gender direction.What do you think?"
- "." For a moment, no one of the rest of the Tarot Society spoke. You look at me, I look at you, and I think of a possibility one after another.
- After a few seconds, "Justice" Audrey controlled her eyes and weighed her tone:
- "I remember that sequence 7 of the Assassin pathway was called the Witch, and the assassin who took the potion ended up becoming a witch."
- ……. This is, for me, a test. Emlin's lips moved slightly and could not speak.
- When he saw the name of the potion, he already had a premonition, but he was not willing to accept it, hoping to get another explanation at the Tarot meeting.
- Don't worry, there's a good chance you won't be an angel, and even if you can, you won't have a chance to be a "beauty god". Klein muttered a few words to himself, but did not utter the "comforting" words.
- The scene was quiet for a moment. Leonard "Star" coughed and said:
- "I share something."
- He spoke slowly or quickly about Merlin, the wandering magician. Hermes, overnight reconstruction of Conston City, "automatic wishing machine" and so on.
- As he spoke, he glanced unabashedly at the "world" Klein.
- Klein moved the corners of his mouth to make the World Gorman. Sparrow looked ahead and said:
- "I will leave the east coast of Jianhai soon."
- Hey. Mr. World did all this? Has he been able to work miracles like this? It's an angel, it's him. "Justice" Audrey recalled the information shared by Mr. gluttony, a member of the psychological alchemy panel, and was surprised and admired for a moment.
- She did not use the ability of the "audience" to cover up the reaction, because everyone showed the same emotion, except for the apparently long-known Mr. Star.
- Merlin. Hermes. A wandering magician. Falth, the magician, wrote down the name in his notebook and secretly decided to distance himself as far as possible when he heard the name.
- This is not to say that she treated German. Sparrow still had so much fear, but she realized one thing:
- Gorman. There will never be peace around Sparrow. There will always be things of one kind or another.
- Of course, a little bit of instinctive fear is inevitable, just like the "fear" planted in childhood will survive when you grow up.
- Take pleasure in fulfilling one's wishes. "automatic wishing machine". This is the world German. The role of Sparrow? Alger "the upside down" and "the hermit" Gandelia had similar thoughts at the same time, and then they thought of one thing:
- From some time ago, Mr. "Fool" asked everyone to make a wish and satisfy it when they prayed.
- Is it that he helps the "world" digest the potion, or is it that he and the world belong to the same way and show similar characteristics after recovery? As Little Sun said before, Mr. Fool shows miracles, allowing the people of a city to be transferred directly from the forsaken land to the city of Baiam. To "the world" German. Sparrow is still playing. Look, this is probably not what he can do. Aljie Wei, the "upside-down hanger", dropped his head invisibly and made some guesses about the path of Mr. Fool.
- Is about to leave the east coast of Jianhai? Then my survey will be easier. Just make up a conclusion and write about Gorman directly. Sparrow has become a "miracle artist" and is playing. Anyway, I know everything I need to know. Leonard mumbled silently and made no more inquiries.
- At this time, the World German. Sparrow looked around and said:
- "what do you say to Barros, the King of the Black Throne? What does Hopkins know? "
- Chapter 56. Delay in case of indecision
- Hear the World German. With regard to Sparrow's question, the rest of the Tarot Council have had a total of three reactions:
- "who is this? I seem to have heard of it. Is he one of the four kings? "
- "who is this? How come I haven't heard of. "
- "well, I forgot to ask about the psychological alchemy again, and I was just going to ask for some advice in a more euphemistic way."
- The first reaction comes from Alger, the Hermit, and Firth, the magician who has lived at sea for some time. The second reaction comes from Leonard, Emlin, Hugh, and Derrick, and the third reaction belongs to Justice Audrey alone. The first reaction comes from Alger, the Hermit, and the Magician Firth, who has lived at sea for some time. The second reaction comes from Leonard, Emlin, trial, and Derrick, and the third reaction belongs to Justice Audrey alone.
- See no one to answer, "the world" German. Sparrow did not ask further, and his main purpose was to remind Miss Justice that she could discuss things that could circumvent her promises.
- Of course, if Miss Justice asks Mr. Fool for help, Klein will also use "grafting" to briefly connect the constraints formed by her subconscious commitment to the paper, giving her a period of time to talk about it at will.
- This is also a high-level application of the "paper man double". With Klein's current personality, it can only be easily done in the "Source Castle". If you are in the real world, you must rely on the "spirit worm" above the rotating fog to manipulate the "curtain" and respond.
- At this point, "Justice" Audrey thought about it and said:
- "do you remember when I followed the trail of the spiritual dragon and went to a place where there was a custom of dragon worship?"
- "upside down" Alger, "hermit" Gadelia and others nodded one after another, and only "Star" Leonard and "trial" Hugh said they had never heard of it.
- Because this is not an important thing, "Magician" Firth didn't mention it when she first popularized "common sense" to "trial" Hugh, but later, she was frightened by "Utopian Angel" Adam. In the real world, there is little discussion of the secrets shared at the Tarot meeting.
- Audrey thought about it and went on:
- "it has been almost two years since then, when a secret organization that did not trust me very much suddenly mentioned the matter and commissioned me to do a further investigation, saying it was an inspection of me. What do they want? "
- She doesn't think it's a coincidence.
- "Moon" Emlin initially recovered, smiled and said:
- "this should be a test."
- As far as he is concerned, he is still a long way from sequence 1 "Meishen", and he has no idea of turning to the "cultivator" approach, so he does not need to worry about the corresponding problems for a long time, and there is no need to worry too much.
- Emlin can say the word "temptation", which has really grown up a lot. Of course, this is also because the blood clan has done too many similar things to him, and every time he has to trouble Mr. "upside down" to say, "this is temptation". "Fool" Klein was satisfied with Emlin's answer.
- Of course, he doesn't think the answer is correct, but he just thinks it's pretty good that Emlin can think of this level.
- "Justice," Audrey said disapprovingly:
- "I suspect that they already know that I have a problem, and they even know where my problem is and which forces are involved. there is no need to try again."
- After leaving from the Garden of Eden, she thought a lot and remembered that Mr. World once said that the Twilight Hermit wanted a war that would sweep the world.
- According to the current situation, this goal has been achieved in the past year.
- In other words, "Twilight Hermit" or "Utopian Angel" Adam must have grabbed a lot of benefits and grew accordingly.
- Before that, Mr. Fool hinted that Adam was closer to the throne.
- Summing up this information, Audrey initially judged that there is a good chance that "Utopian Angel" Adam has landed on the throne and become the "visionary" of sequence 0.
- Even if it hasn't, it's almost done!
- Audrey did not think that her secret could be hidden if such a god in charge of the spiritual realm cast her eyes.
- At present, on the one hand, she can only comfort the leader of the Twilight Hermit Society, the leader behind the Psychological Alchemy Association does not attach too much importance to a sequence 4 "manipulator", on the one hand, through various preparations to deal with possible "accidents".
- "maybe what that organization wants to test is how many members we have in Tarot and who they are." "Moon" Emlin responded with a smile, following his own way of thinking.
- "Justice" Audrey thought for a moment and nodded gently:
- "this possibility cannot be ruled out."
- As she said this, she took an inconspicuous glance at the top of the mottled table and found that Mr. Fool was just leisurely watching and had no idea of giving the right answer.
- This gave her a lot of peace of mind, but also silently decided to be more careful and cautious, not step by step to sequence 4 and not be able to solve some problems alone.
- In any orthodox church or secret organization, sequence 4 is a strong man who can dominate one side.
- At this time, Alger, the "upside down" who listened to their conversation, put forward a whole new possibility:
- "if that secret organization really doesn't trust you, then their investigation may be just an excuse, and the main purpose is to cooperate with us, Tarot, and Mr. Fool through you."
- He does not know why Miss Justice does not directly mention the psychological alchemy, but can only carefully cooperate with the other party to use metonymy.
- Um. Does that make me the tarot ambassador to the psychological alchemy? Justice, Audrey nodded slightly:
- "it's also possible.
- "what am I supposed to do next?"
- "upside down," Alger thought for a moment and said:
- "procrastinate first."
- Good idea. "Magician" Forth and "Moon" Emlin expressed their approval one after another.
- After giving the overall strategy, Alger added in detail:
- "put off going to that place first, and make excuses not to go until the last minute.
- "when you get to that place, start with the outer area and slow down the investigation under the pretext of caution.
- "when it is really impossible to procrastinate, we can deliberately make omissions in certain things and create certain movements, so that the spiritual dragon can detect in advance and eliminate traces.
- "if the covert organization really has any extra purpose, the longer you wait, the more restless they will be, and when they are impatient, they will expose the problem."
- Gadelia, the Hermit, nodded her head:
- "this is the most appropriate response at the moment."
- "I see. Thank you." "Justice" Audrey also thinks that Mr. "upside down" 's suggestion is in line with her own idea.
- However, without procrastination on something, she immediately turned her head, looked at the top of the mottled table, and saluted:
- "Dear Mr. Fool, has Adam been promoted to sequence 0?"
- Yes, I can recognize this. "Fool" Klein leaned back in his chair and chuckled:
- "until the end was near, he finally took this step."
- The level of the Garden of Eden makes him almost certain that Adam has become a "dreamer".
- Did the "Utopian Angel" become a god? The news immediately reverberated in the minds of "Sun" Derrick and others, and could not be quieted down for a long time.
- Sure enough. Justice Audrey pursed her lips, thanked her, and then asked:
- "what do I have to pay for this answer?"
- "Fool" Klein looked around and said:
- "No.
- "this is a reminder."
- At the end of this topic, because most of the members of the Tarot Society were still immersed in the impact that Adam had become a true god, no one spoke for a while.
- After a few seconds, "Sun" Derrick looked left and right, and asked tentatively:
- "Baiyin City has reclaimed the surrounding fields and planted wheat and other crops, but the bumper harvest cannot come right away. I wonder what we can do to earn pounds and buy materials."
- After the initial aid, the Poseidon Church and the government of the Rothschild Islands stopped providing free help. After all, their economic strength was quite limited. In the face of this situation, Silver City and Moon City each sold a batch of extraordinary characteristics and monster leather, in exchange for a large amount of money, which can be used to buy all kinds of materials.
- But in the case that the entrance to the abandoned land has been closed, the extraordinary characteristics and monster leather can no longer be effectively supplemented, and it is impossible for Silver City and Moon City to give up force, sell a large number of strategic resources, and neglect the training of future generations, so, once the existing gold pounds, gold, jewelry and other items are exhausted, they will undoubtedly get into trouble.
- To this end, the "six-member panel" has recently been worrying about how to earn pounds from the outside world and how to build a stable economic system, which is beyond their ability.
- The extraordinary features previously given to Silver City and Moon City were mainly bought by the Poseidon Church and the government of the Rothschild Islands. After all, the number of extraordinary people needed to destroy their own official extraordinary forces and the number of extraordinary people needed to firmly rule a region are not at all on the same level.
- In addition, the entire Rothschild Islands currently have only Poseidon Kavituwa and Cardinal Alger of the Storm Church. Wilson is a demigod, which is not enough for a new regime, especially since Storm Church and Poseidon Church are not allies.
- After listening to the help of the little Sun, the rest of the Tarot Society began to think seriously about what the residents of Silver City and Moon City could do.
- "Justice" Audrey thought about it and said:
- "what are you good at?"
- "fight." "Sun" Derrick answered without hesitation.
- "hanging upside down," Alger heard the words and nodded slightly.
- "although the world war is over, the colonial order in the southern continent has not been effectively restored. It is still very chaotic, and small-scale wars break out from time to time. You can try to form two or three mercenaries to be hired by any force. "
- Military contractor. Klein gave a more modern name in mind.
- "this is a good idea." Derrick's eyes lit up when he heard it.
- "hanging upside down," Alger then asked:
- "fighting is a survival instinct. Apart from that, is there anything else you want to do?"
- "Sun" Derrick replied a little sheepishly:
- "many people want to be cooks, winemakers and work in confectionery factories."
- Chapter 57—Development Plan
- After listening to the wishes of the residents of Silver City, an idea came to Klein's mind:
- "it's all about food."
- Alger, the upside-down man, thought for a moment and said to the Sun Derek:
- "you can let people with such ideas join trade unions in Baiam and find suitable teachers through them, or you can directly invite people with expertise in this field to teach in New Silver City and give them generous rewards.
- "of course, the premise is that you must get the residents to master the lingua franca of the Rothschild Islands as soon as possible, and on this basis, Roon, Gufusak and Tutan can also be put on the agenda."
- When the "hanging upside down" finished, the "hermit" Kadelia also gave her own advice:
- "in addition to organizing mercenaries, you can also try to apply for public positions in major cities in the Rothschild Islands to deal with extraordinary events."
- Although the government of the Rothschild Islands and the Poseidon Church have obtained a number of extraordinary characteristics and corresponding potions from Silver City and Moon City, they will not be able to cultivate enough extraordinary people in a short period of time-sequence 9 is relatively good. Choose people who are psychologically, mentally and physically good to take the potion, the probability of getting out of control and madness is actually very small, and then go up, the play may not be successful, and it will take time to play.
- Under such circumstances, as long as the residents of Baiyin City can become a member of the official forces, they should not worry about unemployment afterwards.
- Of course, the government of the Rothschild Islands will certainly control the number of employees, and Silver City cannot completely solve everyone's employment problem in this way.
- Klein quite agrees with Ms. Hermit's suggestion and believes that it is necessary to give the Darnitz oracle to allow the government of the Rothschild Islands and the Poseidon Church to increase the number of extraordinary people who belong to the government to a certain extent.
- This is not to help Baiyin City residents and some non-deformed people to find jobs, but to cope with the impending end, the deepening of the erosion of foreign gods, and the necessity of increasing the frequency of extraordinary events.
- At this time, the Hermit Kadelia glanced at Miss Justice and continued to say to the Sun Derrick:
- "you should now have a lot of liquidity to try to invest in mines, spice estates, plantations, fertile land and rich forest farms in the Rothschild Islands, which are now very cheap, well, although the Storm Church can still affect the archipelago, and although the new government promises to protect the local industry of foreigners, there are still a large number of Roons, Fossacks and Intis who lack confidence. I want to sell the industry and return home as soon as possible. "
- The oracle named Danizi recently bought a spice manor. Derek recalled what he had heard before and suddenly burst into a flash.
- The suggestion of "Hermit" Kadelia inspired others, and "Justice" Audrey immediately added:
- "when you go to negotiate, you'd better hire a few professional lawyers, otherwise you can easily be deceived. Well, if you think it is necessary, you can also bring the 'psychoanalyst' in the city.
- "also, you can develop the corresponding economy by relying on a medium-sized port.
- "in view of the fact that both the Rothschild government and the Poseidon church lack sufficient common sense, you can offer fee-based courses for outsiders at the general school in New Silver City, um, delete some of the knowledge that is easy to conflict with the Orthodox Church.
- "the railway connecting New Silver City and other cities must be built as soon as possible."
- "Sun" Derek was stupefied, and hurriedly raised his hand and said:
- "Sorry, I need to write down what I just said."
- Forget that he has no foundation in economics. "Justice" Audrey reflected a little, closed her mouth and smiled and motioned to the little "sun" to ask Mr. Fool for help.
- When Derrick showed his pen and paper and wrote down the previous suggestions, Tarot members such as "Justice" Audrey, "Moon" Emlin and "Star" Leonard gave their own ideas in a word. And refuted each other's immature and impractical proposals.
- Such a warm scene lasted nearly two quarters of an hour before it ended, and the Sun Derrick looked at the stack of paper in front of him, which was neither thick nor thin, and smiled uncontrollably.
- He seems to have seen the bright future of Silver City.
- Klein, the "fool" at the top of the mottled table, sighed inexplicably and felt a lot heavier:
- If you don't think about the end in more than a decade, the Silver City, which is full of bright prospects in the discussion just now, is really gratifying.
- However, the coming of the end will not be changed by human will, nor can saints and angels.
- Withdrawing his eyes from the paper in front of him, Derek thought about it and then said:
- "We have built temples and churches belonging to Mr. Fool and want to preach to various cities in the archipelago. What do we need to pay attention to?"
- "hanging upside down," Alger frowned slightly.
- "have you compiled the scriptures yet? Have you designed the process of the mass and the details of the prayer? "
- "Hmm." "Sun" Derrick focuses on key points.
- It was all based on the miracles shown by Mr. Fool and Derek's own understanding, combined with the religious books left by the previous Creator, and Silver City also prayed to the Fool to explain the matter, and his attitude was acquiescence.
- "has the internal system of the church been built?" Alger continued.
- Derrick subconsciously looked at Mr. Fool, who was shrouded in layers of gray fog, and looked back:
- "at present, it is imitating the internal system of other churches, with the chief concurrently archbishop of our 'six-member council' and appointing a group of residents with missionary enthusiasm as bishops and pastors."
- As for the institutions within the church to deal with extraordinary events, Silver City has not been set up, because most of them are extraordinary and usually have corresponding organizations.
- When Alger saw that Mr. Fool did not object or approve, he controlled his desire for teaching thoughtfully and nodded slightly.
- "you can try to do this first."
- He paused and then said:
- "but we should pay attention to two points: one is not to publicize the bad practices of other churches, so as not to cause conflicts, and the other is to respect the present oracle. In the case that Mr. 'Fool' does not appoint a church leader, the oracle is the devotee of the gods."
- Third, do not preach in a harassing way. Moreover, I am deeply skeptical about the eloquence of the bishops and priests in Baiyin City. I have to ask Danizi to find a professional to do some training. The quiet "fool" Klein mumbled a few words in his heart.
- He did not comment on the scripture written by Baiyin City because it was a bit embarrassing, but if he objected to certain descriptions, it would damage the image of the "fool".
- At the thought of this, Klein could not help saying a few more words:
- "maybe one day, will. When Ansetin saw the scripture of the Fool Church, he would be surprised to blurt out: when did I become an angel under the seat of the Fool?
- "then Leonard's grandfather, Mr. Azick who wakes up, and Miss Messenger, who is trying to recover, will follow and say," what, me, too? "
- After exchanging things related to Silver City and Moon City, "Hermit" Kadelia looked around not too expectantly and said:
- "which one of you has the extraordinary characteristics of sequence 3 of the voyeur pathway?"
- It has been a long time since she digested the "occult" potion, but she only got the potion formula of the "Master of prophecy" from the Morse ascetics, which is still a long way from getting the extraordinary properties or the main material.
- Although she is a member of the ten pillars of Morse asceticism, the more the sequence goes up, the more precious the corresponding resources must be. Even such an ancient organization cannot be squandered arbitrarily. Moreover, Gadelia was born on the Dawn. She is less influenced by the "hidden sage" and is not so trusted within the Morse ascetic order.
- For Kadelia, who has been promoted to a "occult" with the blood of "Snake of Destiny" and has digested the potion early, sequence 3 should have been a relatively easy pass, but it may not be hopeful for several years, or even more than a decade, to get stuck in the material.
- So she had to ask for help at the Tarot meeting.
- "Sun" Derrick recalled the demigod features of Lower Silver City and shook his head slowly.
- Just then, the World German. Sparrow said with a hoarse smile:
- "I suggest you ask the Mystic Queen directly."
- Bernardi has become the angel of sequence 2, and if there is an extra "master of prophecy" in the body, you can try to separate it.
- Of course, Klein is not sure that the "sage" potion taken by the Mystery Queen contains pre-sequence 3 and sequence 4.
- Ask the queen? The Hermit Gadelia from the World German. Sparrow's answer gave some hints that something had happened to the queen.
- "good." She controlled her impulse to ask questions.
- Klein continued to manipulate the world, saying to Ms. Hermit:
- "I have a long-term commission to help me collect all aspects of the sudden resurrection of the 'hidden sage'.
- "you can raise the corresponding remuneration now, or you can wait until you need it in the future."
- Klein has always had some doubts about this, and although it can indeed be described as a sudden activation of "uniqueness", it should have been activated a long time ago.
- The hermit Kadelia thought for a moment and said:
- "No problem."
- After a while of communication, the Tarot party ended and the members returned to the real world.
- In the captain's room of the Future, Gadelia pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and thought about how to write the letter to the Queen.
- In the process, she wandered to the window and saw Frank. Li is selling the crew his non-alcoholic volcano beer made from undersea microbes.
- That's a lot of action. Gadelia had just sighed and suddenly frowned.
- "at the Taro meeting just now, Mr. Fool said that the cultivator and the moon were two more special ways, which came from the starry sky and were easily polluted. They heard the apocalypse that was true or false.
- "Frank is an extraordinary person in the" cultivator "approach.
- "moreover, he once complained that the Earth Church had failed to understand the true will of the benevolent mother." Kadelia's eyes, covered by thick lenses, squinted slightly.
- Chapter 58 Processing
- After watching the lower deck for a while, Gadelia left the captain's room, walked to the cabin entrance, and waited for Frank, who came in with a bucket of non-alcoholic beer. Lee.
- "Captain, would you like a drink?" Frank lifted the keg of beer with one hand.
- Gadelia shook her head firmly and asked as if she were chatting:
- "is this the will of a merciful mother again?"
- "No." Frank said quite seriously, "I just think drinking spirits with improved tranquilizers for a long time is still a little bad for their health. I hope they will accept this kind of beverage that tastes like alcohol but actually has no alcohol." of course, this is only a preliminary result. It doesn't involve spirits, after all, it can't use distillation to improve its taste. "
- For a moment, Kadelia didn't know how to take the next sentence, pushed her heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose, and stood silent for two seconds before she said:
- "have you ever heard the voice of a merciful mother to be revealed?"
- "No." Frank shook his head carelessly.
- Call. Gadelia breathed a sigh of relief.
- At this point, Frank casually added:
- "the will of a merciful mother can be felt without apocalypse in the ear of wheat, in the milk of cows, in the growth of mushrooms, in everything in every corner of nature."
- Kadelia's eyes were instantly fixed on Frank's eyes, and there was no madness in it, only pure.
- She said no more, nodded slightly and walked on past Frank. Li, come to the deck.
- After watching the sea view intently for several minutes, Gadelia returned to the captain's room, spread out the writing paper, and wrote:
- "what do you think of Frank's performance? He claimed that he had not been apocalypsed and believed that the will of a merciful mother was hidden in every part of nature. "
- This is for German. A letter from Sparrow. Kadelia believes that just adding a sentence to such a question can make the other person understand what she is trying to say.
- After folding the stationery, she took out a gold coin and began to summon the terrible messenger.
- .
- As soon as the tarot meeting was over, the hermit lady wrote to me. It should not be the information related to "hiding the sage". It's not that fast. Klein is traveling on the Tassok River on a ship.
- Dressed in a black robe, he took the stationery from the mouth of the messenger, unfolded it, and finished all the contents at a glance.
- This. Klein's brow frowned slightly.
- Perhaps it was because Frank had behaved dangerously enough to be "crazy" enough that he had ignored the possibility that the druid might have been influenced by the fallen Mother.
- Frank was once brought to trial by the Earth Church for taboo experiments, and was later wanted. If the Earth Mother has not been eroded and the Earth Church is still functioning normally, it shows that they think there is something wrong with Frank. However, if the evidence is conclusive, Frank who went to trial should not have a chance to survive. Klein's thoughts turned around, trying to find clues based on what he knew about Frank.
- "there is no problem with the related movements, and the posture of prayer is different from the usual gesture of praise, just like when extraordinary people in the church of the night pray, they do not draw stars on their chest at the right time, at most as a closing gesture.
- "except for this little problem, Frank has problems everywhere. He's like a child raised by a fallen mother." In the twinkling of an eye, Klein had two contradictory guesses:
- Either Frank's contamination was so hidden that the trial of the Earth Church could not be determined, or he was not affected by the "fallen Mother God" at all, and he was so out of his mind that he looked like the family of an evil god.
- No matter which guess, Klein believes that the follow-up development is not very good.
- He remembers clearly that Frank's mushroom experiment had a breakthrough because it was equipped with an assistant who believed in the "primitive moon", one of the incarnations of the fallen Mother.
- In other words, since then, whether Frank had a problem or not, he is likely to have entered the line of sight of the "fallen Mother God".
- That's not a good thing.
- "of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Frank was so crazy that the 'fallen Mother' took the initiative to look away." Klein muttered bitterly.
- This is almost impossible, and the horror and power of the outer gods are beyond the understanding of the demigod.
- Klein even suspected that if the response was not too fierce, it would destroy the anchors of the gods, cause them to attack each other frantically, lead to a further convergence of extraordinary characteristics, and wake up at first, the alien gods might have directly destroyed the sun. Destroy the ecological balance of the world-why not the original barrier, why not a star outside the barrier?
- Sometimes, Klein wondered whether the astronomical observation of the sun was the real sun, maybe it was just the "eternal sun" that hung himself there.
- "there should be no big problem with the mushrooms that Frank has invented so far. I've dealt with them all on top of the fog. Moreover, the residents of Silver City and Moon City did not show anything unusual. Well, after they left the abandoned land, they had given up growing mushrooms because of the lack of monster corpses and sufficient food. Step up monitoring! " The more Klein thought about it, the more scared he became.
- Had it not been for the power of the fallen Mother to infiltrate the original barrier, Klein suspected that the "blasphemy card" and mushrooms had caused him to be contaminated, and the "source fortress" had unwittingly changed hands.
- These are all things that have been put on top of the fog for a long time and have not made any special seal.
- Compared with the wanton "Mother Tree of desire", the dreadful degree of the "fallen Mother God", which has always been extremely low-key, is simply more than one level higher!
- Mr. Gate and the Great were quietly eroded by him.
- "it is worthy of the loss of two extraordinary ways and a source that can stand on top of the alien gods.". " Klein sighed to himself and took out his pen and paper to write a reply to the Hermit.
- At this time, he found that the messenger lady had been waiting and did not return to the spirit world, and the eight eyes of the four heads looked at him without blinking.
- "what do you think of Frank?" Klein hesitated and asked, "I mean, beyond the nickname."
- Renette. Tinique Cole's four blond heads said in turn:
- "it's just." "like." "the foreign gods." "adopted son."
- In other words, Frank has not been affected by the "fallen Mother" before, purely because of his own brain problems. Klein heaved a long sigh of relief.
- He then asked:
- "and now?"
- Because every time Frank. Li gave it to German. When Sparrow writes, she summons Renette. Tinique Cole, therefore, Klein believes that the high-ranking messenger lady has a clearer and accurate grasp of the state of the mushroom king.
- "I." "also." "No." "know." Renette. Tinique Cole answered one after another with four heads.
- Then he added:
- "the body." "for the time being." "not." "be contaminated."
- It means that there is no way to tell if the spirit is affected or not. Also, except for the low level, Frank usually behaves more like an evil god than I do. Klein complained, took out a gold coin and flicked it up.
- With the help of this medium, he quickly entered the state of "dream divination".
- At the same time, he is also ready to trigger the "source fortress" and cut off the gaze of the gods.
- Scenes flashed by, and Klein saw several futures.
- Well, at present, the biggest hidden danger is the believer in the "primitive moon". He must be separated from Frank, otherwise things will become very troublesome and dangerous. If Frank doesn't come into contact with anything related to the "fallen Mother God" in the future and doesn't get promoted to a demigod, there's basically nothing wrong with it. If only one of these two conditions is met alone, the probability of accidents will be greatly increased. If they are met at the same time, I do not see any development at all. Klein woke up and interpreted the results of the divination.
- Perhaps because Frank himself was too low-level and not deeply affected, Klein's divination was smooth and not in danger.
- Call. He breathed silently and caught the gold coin with a snap.
- Then he found Miss Messenger's eight red eyes looking intently at the gold coin in her hand.
- Klein moved his eyebrows to show his doubts.
- "it." "have." "Source Castle." "breath." Renette. Tinique Cole's four blond heads swung up and down.
- This is one of the five gold coins I often use for divination, has been infected with the smell of "source fortress"? In this way, it is a magical object to some extent, but the effect will fade with the passage of time. Klein looked closely at the gold coin in his hand and relied on his spiritual intuition to make a general judgment.
- This gold coin can improve the accuracy of divination and enhance the user's ability to resist interference.
- For Klein, this was also a pleasant surprise, deciding that the Noumenon of the gold coin would be used in the future, rather than its historical projection.
- Taking back the gold, Klein wrote a reply to the Hermit lady through Renette. Tinique Cole gave it to the other side.
- .
- And gave it to German. After Sparrow's messenger received a gold coin, the Admiral of the Stars unfolded the paper and skimmed through the letter.
- After reading it, she inexplicably felt that there was something heavy on her shoulder.
- Without any delay, Gadelia took out another piece of stationery and wrote:
- "your Majesty,
- "I dreamt that you had found the original island and returned smoothly.
- "the condition of the descendant of the Great Emperor is getting worse and worse. If he stays on the Future, I suspect he will go crazy. If you don't mind, I'd like to send him to you.
- "it is important to note that although he claims that he no longer believes in the 'primitive moon', no one can prove it.
- ".
- "my biggest problem now is that it is difficult to get the main material of the 'Master of prophecy'. If you have returned, I hope to return the "wishing lamp" to you sometime. "
