Chapter 35: The Rose School
Mr. Fool's Church? Lumian was both surprised and not so surprised by this answer.
He was an extraordinary person who did not expect that the Church of the Fool had a large number of "prisoner" paths, but he felt that according to the description of the Holy Scriptures, it was not surprising that there were people who appeared in either way.
Franka smiled and explained in detail:
"Actually, the 'prisoner' path of the 'Rose School' and the 'prisoner' path of Mr. 'Fool' church were originally the same one."
"Then it split?" Lumien tried to make a guess.
Franca gave an "um":
"The Rose School is a very old organization, it has a history of more than two thousand years, even dating back to before the Quaternary period, to before that cataclysm."
More than 2,000 years old...... Lumian was stunned for a moment.
When he knew that the "Predator Cross" was established two or three hundred years ago, he smelled the breath of history and thought that it was ancient, but compared to the "Rose School", the "Predator Cross" was as young as a child who had not yet received compulsory education.
Franka continues:
The "Rose School" was originally an orthodox organization in the Southern Continent, ruling the Pas Valley and the Star Plateau in the form of a theocratic and religious system, until the invasion of the Northern Continent states.
"They lost their kingdom, went underground, became secretive, on the one hand, they fought against the colonizers, tried to drive them out of the southern continent, and on the other hand, they frequently caused terror in the northern continent, hehe, this actually had no effect on their resistance to colonization, but made the people of all countries hate them, of course, their main purpose is not necessarily this, maybe it is simply for blood sacrifices, for some rituals."
"How did it split later?" Lumien is more concerned about this issue.
Franka took two leisurely steps in the living room:
The "Rose School" has had philosophical differences since very early on, and they all believe that the will comes from various desires, and can change reality and accomplish all kinds of incredible things, but different people have different opinions on how to deal with desires:
шшш_ TTKдN_ ¢O
"Some believe that they should always indulge and burn their desires, and fanatically perform bloody or primitive sacrifices in order to improve their own will, while others, starting from the name of the potion, feel that desires should be suppressed in the heart, keep accumulating, and wait until the critical moment to burst out and set off a great wave of terror."
"Therefore, on the one hand, it is called the 'indulgence faction', and on the other hand, it is the 'temperance faction'."
"Prisoners" ...... After Lumian silently repeated the name of the Sequence 9 potion, he said thoughtfully, "I think the 'temperance' is right."
"People with normal brains think so, after all, the body is the cage of the mind, the world is the cage of the body, madness must be restrained, and desire needs to be suppressed." "But there are always people with abnormal brains, and in the end, if you indulge them, you will only be left with madness, and you can't keep even a small IQ." ”
No wonder the "werewolves" behaved like that...... It seems that he is indeed a member of the "Rose School", ...... other members of the "Rose School" have similar brains to him, it proves that they are strong, after all, in the absence of IQ, the only prerequisite for surviving until the present and maintaining basic vitality is that the strength is strong enough...... Lumian turned several thoughts half-sarcastically, half-alertly.
Franka looked at the gradually bright sunlight outside the window and said: "At first, the 'Indulgence' and 'Temperance' could barely coexist, you don't care about me, I don't interfere with you, and I don't affect the people you shelter, but later, the 'Indulgence' began to claim that the 'bound god' that the two factions believe in is the embodiment of a certain evil god."
A certain evil god...... Indulge in lust...... Lumian frowned suddenly, and asked as if seeking confirmation, "Mother Tree of Desire?"
"Yes." Franka laughed, "Your acquaintance, no, acquaintance. ”
No, I don't want to be familiar with him at all...... the "Rose School" also believes in the "Mother Tree of Desire", and the reason why the "werewolf" investigated the intelligence of the Savoyard seems to be more complicated than I guessed...... the people of the "Blessed Society" have no connection with the "Rose School", or do they not share this information? Lumien fell into deep thought.
Franka lamented, "Those abilities that involve desire are actually quite useful, but why can't they be used on the right path?"
"Who called it an evil god?" Lumian replied, warning his companion, "You'd better not try it. ”
Franca sneered, "I still know what I can try and what I can't, and I know better than you about the dangers of evil gods."
"Well, later, the 'Temperance Faction' raided the 'Temperance Faction' and dealt a heavy blow to them, and the remaining 'Temperance Faction' members fled in disarray, and were hunted down for a long time until they were blessed by Mr. 'Fool'.
"I have heard that His Excellency St. Sharon of the Church of Mr. 'Fool' is a former member of 'temperance', and the 'Angel of the Holy Spirit' next to Mr. 'Fool'......"
Can let an angel led the "temperance faction" be hunted down and flee in embarrassment, the strength of the "indulgence faction" is terrifying, they must have angels, and more than one...... And Mr. Fool's church can shelter the "temperance...... After listening, Lumian roughly grasped the history of the "Rose School", became more confident in the strength of the "Fool" church, and corresponded some of the names on the holy book to the big names in reality.
At the same time, he also understood why the "Knight of the Sword", another wielder of Arcana the Lesser, blew up the weapons warehouse of the "Rose School".
"Hehe, shouldn't it be called the 'Rose School' now, isn't it okay to call it the 'Indulgence School'?" Lumian scoffed.
Franka laughed and replied, "How bad is that?" Do you think every covert organization cares about any of this like the Predator-Blooded Cross?
As soon as the two of them chatted here, they heard the familiar footsteps of Jana.
When Jana opened the door, she was somewhat surprised to see that Lumian was there.
"He had something going on last night." Franka blurted out.
"What's the matter?" Janna looked at Lumien a few times, but found no signs of injury.
Franka briefly talks about the "Werewolves" and the "Rose School", omitting the part of her and Lumian's relationship with the Church of the Fools.
The more Jaanna listened, the more frightened she became, and she felt that a Sequence 9 was really nothing in the occult world.
This made her want to become an "instigator" as soon as possible.
After what she just discussed, Franka added:
"I'll briefly talk about the 'living corpses' and 'resentful spirits', lest you go on without knowing anything, or notice the anomaly but don't know there's a problem.
"The biggest change between the living corpses and the werewolves is that their bodies are as hard as steel, they are not afraid of fire, they are not afraid of bullets and shells, and they must hit the same position more than five times in a row to break their defenses, and as 'living corpses, as long as their heads are not broken, their lives are not in danger.
"They also have mastered some rot, frost, and death spells, which can awaken and drive ghosts and dead corpses away.
The "resentful spirit" can freely transform into a ghost, and it no longer has a physical body, and it is not afraid of corresponding damage. Their magical abilities have been significantly improved, and they can also forcibly attach themselves to you, take control of your bodies, and let them kill themselves.
"They can also walk through different mirrors after entering the 'Spirit' state, and hide themselves with the help of them, even if you turn on the 'Vision', there is little hope of seeing them directly.
"If you encounter something like a haunting, you can't be careless, and you have to consider the possibility of involving real 'resentful spirits'."
Lumian listened intently, pondering, and said, "In the face of 'living corpses' and 'resentful spirits', attacks against spirits are more effective?"
"Yes, I recommend the ability in the 'Sun' field." Franka chuckled, "But I recommend that if you encounter a similar enemy, you can run as soon as you can, and call for help if you can't." ”
Lumian never felt embarrassed to shout for help, and while expressing his approval, he came up with a new idea: "They are all members of the 'Lust Faction', wouldn't it be better to deal with them with the ability to influence desires?"
If so, magical items made from "Shadow Branches" will come in handy.
- Lumian has not yet contacted Ms. "Magician", and plans to wait for Mr. K to give him a reward before deciding which field to use with the extraordinary traits of "Shadow Branch".
"Theoretically, it is, but it can have the opposite effect." Franka made a point of reminding.
After exchanging questions about the "Rose School", Jane talked about being recruited as an informant and giving information about the Fukaya Monastery.
Franca was genuinely happy for her:
"Yes, then you also have a fixed resource channel, but the official card is very strict with key items, and you can't rely on them completely."
Lumian didn't expect Valentine to come to the market area as well, and he was worried about his lack of necessary disguise - the "Voyeur Glasses" could only be used at critical moments.
He pondered it for a moment and said to Jana, "Showing your devotion to the 'Eternal Sun' in front of the 'Purifier' will be rewarding."
"You seem to have a lot of experience." Jana's eyes rolled slightly, and she felt that Charles seemed to have a lot of secrets.
......
Out of 3 White Coat Street, Lumian walked back to the Breeze Ballroom.
The more he came into contact with the secret organizations, the more he felt the poverty of his occult knowledge.
Lumian drank a glass of absinthe to refresh himself and sat down in his office.
He was just about to change his comfortable position when he saw a little starlight seeping out in front of him, forming a bright and dreamy door.
The door opened, and the "magician" lady walked out, today in an off-white shirt, a long brown and yellow dress, and dark brown leather boots.
What's the matter? Lumian stood up.
The "magician" lady smiled and said:
"The friend I mentioned earlier to help you decipher the symbolic elements has completed his recent work, and I have a short vacation, and I will take you to him now."
Lumian replied with great delight: "Okay!"
