Chapter 1: A "Bribe" (Thanks to the Book Friend for the Inspiration of the Death and Life Contract)
In this strange space, Glerint has no sense of time or distance. After a few words with Trensost, he suddenly remembered the promise he had promised to give him the "Balancer" trait.
"Trenthorst."
"Your Highness, I'm here."
"What's going on with you now?"
He was referring to the fact that he had become a seal, but had retained the consciousness of his life.
Ever since he had regained consciousness, Trenthor had stopped holding his sword in one hand and the open codex in the other. Instead, he changed to a standing image of pressing the sword with his right hand and a natural hem of his left hand.
Gleilynt pondered about his transformation.
That code was supposed to be the "Brass Book of Trenthorst" for the uniqueness of the "Inquisitor", but now its ownership no longer belongs to the "Night Emperor", and he is no longer qualified to hold this uniqueness in front of the "Children of Chaos".
Trenthorst leaned slightly and explained:
"I don't know if you have some understanding of the way of the 'Bound One', Your Highness."
"I just borrowed the power of the 'Ancient Evil Thing' in the second sequence of the pathway, so that this bronze bell generated a blank consciousness out of thin air, and then transferred my memory and consciousness to the past."
Creating a blank consciousness out of thin air? It sounds a bit like the ability of the "audience" approach.
Glerint nodded, and asked:
"Is the power of the 'Ancient Evil' still in your hands? In what form? This should be the so-called "cursed god" who responded to Alister's prayers.
Trenthorst nodded and replied:
"He was affected in the 'War of the Four Emperors', and his consciousness was more than ninety percent defeated. Now he is still an angel, but I am confined to the separate area of the bronze bell of order, and can only unconsciously respond to some simple rituals of believers. β
Angels again......
Gleilynt is about to think of himself as a real "child of chaos", and his angelic power alone has four sources!
"What powers are you able to call on right now?"
"Your Highness, in my current state, the power of the 'Ancient Evil Thing' is completely invokable...... He could only be simply released.
I can use the power of the 'Hand of Order' an infinite number of times, but if I am not in a special state such as 'High Personality Secret', once I use my extraordinary ability in the real world, I will be locked by the other two 'Hand of Order'. β
What kind of help can you provide yourself with in this way? Is it only a "charm automatic production machine" in this strange space?
"What about after you've filled in the missing 'Balancers' and below?"
He continued.
Trenthorst thought for a moment, then said:
"This ...... I'm not sure yet, but as long as I don't disturb the order of the real world too much, I should be able to hide from them. β
Another very troublesome question is how to carry such a large bronze bell around...... The difficulty is not in the weight!
As if to see his troubles, Trenthorst added:
"The space that I simulated in the 'Bronze Bell of Order' in the 'State of Disorder' has a certain connection with this essentia.
Once your Highness senses the stable essentia again, you can use it to pull me to this area.
In the same way, it is only after it is stabilized again that you can strip the 'balancer' of its natural radiation of power from the person of the Duke of Entropy. But I have a suggestion for you to consider. β
After reawakening a part of his consciousness, Glerint's reverence for Him was taken for granted:
"You say."
β¦β¦
Trensost organized his language a little, and said:
"You can 'sacrifice' it to me in the real world, and that will greatly help you digest the 'bribe' potion in the real world."
Glerint's eyes opened slightly, and he asked with some strangeness:
"Is this a 'bribe'?"
His new consciousness did not include such things as digesting potions or acting codesβfor they had no meaning to the activated "fog of indeterminacy" consciousness, which was essentia itself and did not need to be digested at all.
"In my opinion, the meaning of 'bribery' should be the behavior of a subordinate to a superior who does not abide by the 'rules' in order to obtain more improper benefits?"
He had made a guess based solely on the word "bribe" and was not sure whether it fully met the precise definition of "bribe-taker".
Trensost used to be a sequence 1 "Prince of the Killing Order" of the same path, and he is very familiar with the role of this path, and he is very professional.
With his usual light smile, he explained:
"The core of the role of 'bribe-takers' is to 'give goods' and 'get more improper benefits', but we must be careful not to get used to 'bribery' and 'take shortcuts to achieve goals'.
And you're absolutely right about the high and low positions.
Normally, when you don't know that offering a sacrificial object to me can be considered a 'bribe', then it is a standard bribe, because you are a lower person who does it. On the other hand, when you know that this can be considered a 'bribe', then this time the bribery is not valid, because your essential person is much higher than me. β
"This ......"
Glerint was dumbfounded, not knowing the meaning of his rap, and finally justifying that he couldn't play the role by "bribing" him with this "balancer" trait. It's better not to say these things directly from the beginning, at least half of them may not realize that this is a "bribe", so as to complete the role.
Trensost seems to have enjoyed the process of imparting knowledge, and he doesn't know if he is simply "imparting knowledge" or "teaching the new children of Chaos".
The smile on His handsome face brightened:
"This is under normal circumstances, but it does not apply to a majestic and domineering 'Black Emperor'.
For a 'black emperor' who twists the rules to his advantage:
Anything that is given, is a bribe! β
β¦β¦
Glerint's breath was sluggish, and he still couldn't guess the power of the gods with the personality of an ordinary person. And when he was shocked by the domineering of the "Black Emperor", he heard Trensost add:
"This is still a distorted understanding of 'bribery' without invoking 'essentia'.
If you have a complete grasp of the 'world of order', you can regionalize the underlying rules of the world, such as: 'Gods don't need anchors to keep their sanity', 'There is no madness here, you are allowed to take potions at will'...... Of course, this can only be effective if you are maintained by your strength.
If you want to permanently change a certain underlying rule of the world, at least the Inquisitor is not easy to do, it takes a certain amount of time, and it can only be modified within a certain limit.
For example, I once added a rule at the bottom of the world: 'Trenthorst never dies.' β
It will be very difficult for me to be truly slain unless a new 'Inquisitor' erases it, and no 'Black Emperor' distorts it, at least not with the power of the old days. β
β¦β¦
Trenthorst's description of the "rules" stunned Glerint, but at the same time, it gave him a preliminary understanding of the essential meaning of "disorder" or "children of chaos".
To co-author them is to be completely unreasonable, to be of basic logic, because they are the rules and logic themselves!
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
PS: Actually, the explanation of "the rule itself" here is still not in place. Because these descriptions are still in line with our understanding of the world, they seem to us to be "reasonable", and they are not ignoring the basic rules of the world.
The real "old days" should be completely incomprehensible to human logic.
