Chapter 83: Successive Promotions
Just as Abner had predicted, the "Hidden Sage" did indeed descend a part of her power into the spiritual body of the "Star Queen" through the secret connection between the high and the lower positions through the "Voyeur" at the critical moment when Gadelia was promoted to the "Master of Prophecy".
"Hidden sage", hence the name, is the "sage" who is clearly hidden behind the scenes, but prefers to secretly observe everything in the world, and can't help but instill knowledge in others.
Even if she restrains her "hobby" because she has to prepare for the ceremony, there is a high probability that this "voyeurism" problem cannot be changed, at most she just doesn't "speak".
Since the Hidden Sage was activated from the uniqueness of the Hermit path, Abner speculated that it might be her instinct or an irrepressible instinct.
If it was a low-order promotion through the "Voyeur" path, she might still be able to restrain it, but the promotion of the "Master of Prophecy" like Gadelia would have to be "seen" no matter what.
At this moment, Abner, who was integrated with Cordelia's "mind and body", was taking advantage of the huge resonance of the "collective spiritual sea" not far away, using the rituals arranged in advance in the villa to pry the power of the "Memory Theater", and locked on a pair of cold, ruthless, eyelash-free, almost transparent eyes that suddenly appeared in the spiritual body of the "Star Queen" from a high-dimensional perspective!
The eyes looked at Gardelia's spirit for a moment, and after seeing from her superficial memory that she was at the promotion ceremony held at Abner's house, they immediately cut off the connection.
Abner, who locked on to the "Hidden Sage" from a high-dimensional perspective, immediately "tracked" down, and his spiritual body made a series of shuttles through many "dimensional" worlds, but was finally blocked by a barrier formed by "knowledge".
"Is this a 'knowledge barrier' made by ...... 'Hidden Sage' to guard against the 'High-Dimensional Downlooker'? Specifically for me from a 'high dimensional' line of sight?
"It's a pity...... Unable to track down the exact location of the world in which she arranged the ritual...... However, the general direction can be clarified, and it can be checked one by one later. ”
Thinking of this, although Abner had some regrets, he was not disappointed, after all, on the whole, his plan this time was successful.
not only found the direction of the investigation, but also did not let the "hidden sage" discover his prying eyes.
You must know that before the world location of the other party's arrangement ceremony is clarified, the investigation process is a stroke of luck, maybe there is no result for hundreds or thousands of years, and it is not possible to touch the edge until the "hidden sage" successfully completes the godhood ceremony.
But now that he has a rough bearing, Abner is confident that he will be able to find it out in a few months at the latest.
Retracting his gaze from the "dimensional pores" shrouded by the "knowledge barrier", Abner released the borrowing of the power of the "Memory Theater", and his consciousness returned to the normal dimension.
Sensing that the "Star Queen" Gardelia had passed the most difficult stage after taking the potion and successfully escaped from the "River of Destiny", Abner also took the initiative to break off the integration relationship with her "mind and body" and recondensed her body in the room.
Immediately afterward, his face became strange, and he had just been waiting for the "Hidden Sage" without noticing, but now he found that he had obtained a lot of "interesting" little secrets from Gardelia during the "fusion".
And Gadelia also recovered from the joy of successfully advancing to Sequence 3 at this time, and she pursed her lips to look at Abner, looking like she wanted to say something.
As a gentleman, Abner naturally did not fail to keep the promises he had made, so the two quickly erased some memories in the presence of Mr. "Fool".
After doing this, Gadelia really relaxed, and while helping Mr. "Tower" to pack up the ritual items, she asked thoughtfully:
"Mr. 'Tower', do you know where the Queen has gone?"
Abner, who was pretending to be a "professor", stopped what he was doing and replied with a smile: "You should ask Abner about this, he may know something." ”
"Abner? The queen and he also know each other? ”
……
Joe Wood District, Ossaith Square.
Because she was worried that the phantom she left at home would be inadvertently debunked by the maid Annie, Audrey did not continue to stay in the square to watch the second half of "Battlefield Rose", but took Susie and directly "teleported" back to Queens, returned to her room, and dispersed the phantom on the bed.
It was only then that she had the opportunity to take a hard look at herself, digesting the knowledge and experience gained from the potion, from the sea of the collective subconscious.
Others may not be able to see it, but Audrey knows very well that the beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes in the mirror has super strength and exaggerated dragon scale defense, which belongs to the kind that can burst a piece of steel with a single punch.
After a while, Audrey, who had briefly tested her "manipulator" ability, looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly showed a shallow smile.
Then, she puffed out her cheeks and opened her mouth as if she was about to vomit something.
Since her mythical creature form is a psychic dragon, it must have breath.
This can directly stimulate and damage the target's mental body and mental body, which is a range-based, effect-enhanced version of "Psychic Piercing".

Audrey's eyes immediately turned slightly, retracted her gaze, and sighed in her heart:
"This is a demigod and a half-human, and these abilities make me feel scared myself...... And how powerful Mr. 'World' and Miss 'Temperance' must have been able to kill Herwin Lambis......"
As soon as she thought of this, she found that an infinite gray mist appeared in front of her eyes, and the next moment she appeared in the ancient hall that seemed to be unchanged for eternity, and sat on the seat belonging to "justice".
Audrey was a little surprised, but then heard the hoarse voice of Mr. "World":
"Miss Justice, are you now able to implant a 'virtual personality' in other people's minds?"
Since the extraordinary characteristics of the "Manipulator" were all advanced by Mr. "World", Audrey nodded happily and said:
"Okay...... Miss 'Temperance' needs to be implanted with a 'virtual personality' for the promotion ceremony?"
As she spoke, she looked around and saw that there was only herself and the "world" around the long bronze table.
"We've got the rest of the ritual ready, now it's just you need to implant her with a 'virtual personality' that thinks she's an 'object.'"
"Think of yourself as an 'object'?" Audrey blinked, feeling that the request was a little "officinal".
"Sequence 3 of the 'Prisoner' pathway is also known as 'Cursed Thing', and after taking the potion, it is best to really treat yourself as an item in order to be promoted more easily." Crane explained simply.
"I see...... Audrey nodded, and asked again, "When is Miss 'Temperance' going to be promoted?" ”
"Right now...... Now, just right. ”
There was no emotion in Crane's tone, but Audrey still heard a hint of concern.
