Volume 1: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 30: 'Swapping' Desecration of Cards
"You don't have to look at me so surprised, regarding the choice of priesthood, I first recommend the 'Pied Piper' path to blaspheme cards, the clergy who master the sequence path have a comprehensive understanding of time, darkness, fate and other mysterious knowledge, understand a lot of ritual magic, and have a unique way to distort time, fate, and the absorption of dark power."
"But the disadvantages are also obvious, they are easy to perceive some existence hidden behind the darkness, behind time, behind fate, and must be careful and full of awe of non-cognitive things."
It's a powerful ability to twist time, set fate, and gain the favor of darkness, and it's strange, I'm actually a little moved?
Venason nodded slightly, he retracted his thoughts, and asked instead:
"The second recommended is the Dream Thief path?"
"That's right, the 'Dream Roception' path is also the essential path of the Sleeping and Crimson God, and if you touch this kind of blasphemous card, you will gain extraordinary powers such as night, crimson, and concealment, especially after 'swapping', you can also have many occult abilities in exorcism and holiness."
"In the initial rank of the Dream Thief path, it will allow you to walk in the dark to avoid being attacked by unintelligent undead, and you can also sneak into the subconscious of others, to give an inappropriate example, this is a bit like a ghost, in addition to this, you will also gain super fighting ability, you should be able to guess, 'Dream Thief' was my original choice." Joseph described it in some detail.
"Swap?"
Venason keenly caught the word 'swap' coming out of Joseph's mouth, and there was no recognition of such words in the original owner's memory.
However, the word transposition sounds a bit like choice and advancement, which should be related to the transcendent ability itself.
Looking at Wienerson's thoughtful expression, Joseph Paxton paused:
"I'm sorry, I just said something that is difficult for you to understand, but I didn't think it through, you haven't officially touched the transcendent and become a priest yet, and you don't have enough understanding of the 'exchange'."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Joseph, I would also like to know what 'swap' means."
Vinason spoke softly, then closed his mouth, ready to listen quietly to what was to come.
"Regarding 'swap', you can understand 'swap'."
"Demigods should have heard that before a priest can become a demigod or a demihuman, the supernatural power of the 'replacement' itself is required, which must be completed in the Sequence 4 pathway, and most of the 'displacement' is to allow the Sequence person to have a considerable amount of extraordinary power."
"For example, giving corresponding dedication, losing corresponding to winning, plants corresponding to animals, etc., we call it 'disordered' authority, of course, there are a small number of special ways to 'exchange' is the 'normal order' authority, but these things are still quite long ago for you at present."
Out of order, in order, loss corresponds to winning, and asking for dedication corresponds to dedication......
I didn't expect that the blasphemous cards also hid the secret of 'swapping', and two different authorities could exist together at the same time.
This is completely out of my previous imagination and perception of supernatural powers, and in a way, it is a perfect presentation of paradox.
"Officer Joseph, may I ask what is the 'swap' of the Sequence Pathway 9 Spiritual Master? Or what is the ability, I... I'm curious because you said earlier that it's a failed sequential pathway. ”
Vinathan tried not to behave abnormally, and with genuine curiosity, he asked:
"The 'swap' and ability of the spiritual master?"
"The question you asked is not accurate enough, it should be that after touching the Path 9 Spirit Master Blasphemy Card, what abilities will you gain after reaching Sequence 4?"
Joseph shook his head and smiled, his gray-blue eyes and face turned away from Venason, and turned to look at the red moon and said:
"Psychic powers, perceptions, and many auxiliary powers, of course, don't mean that you can immediately understand and master them by touching the profane cards, the spiritual master path only qualifies you to learn these abilities."
"But since this matter is mentioned, I can tell you that the Sequence Path 9 Spirit Master was once defined as the most aggressive transcendent path in the distant Third Age, and now it seems that it lacks direct means of dealing with the enemy, heh, you should be able to imagine that spiritual power is not suitable for encounters at all except for perception, and this kind of way may be more professional in finding things, peeping, and tracking this kind of event."
Because of the lack of sufficient means to deal with the enemy, the spiritual master path will be called the failure path?
If this is such a waste, why is it called the most aggressive transcendent path in the Tertiary Period?
No, the inconsistencies in this, Officer Joseph's description of the Sequence Pathway 9 Spiritual Master only mentions spirit, voyeurism, and perception, but when I was in the old royal court before, Gorot mentioned words such as telekinesis and control.
And tonight, after encountering that intruder, I used my spiritual power to cooperate with my own spiritual power, and successfully controlled the quill, mental power, and my own spiritual power... Could it be ......
Venathan, who had fallen into silence, suddenly woke up, as if a torrent was pouring out in his mind, breaking through the blocked thresholds in his mind, and he suddenly realized something.
Seeing this, Joseph Paxton smiled and said:
"Don't think about the psychic, because this sequence lacks the means to deal with the enemy, when you arrive at St. Hornavich University, the professor of the school will tell you how to choose the right path for the priesthood, you know, this kind of sequence path may not always be comparable to the firearm......"
"Okay, Officer Joseph, thank you for your guidance, I'll think about it."
"Well, that's all for today."
With that, Joseph took off his half-height silk top hat on top of his head, bowed slightly, and walked slowly past Venason to the dark alley directly north of Mink Street.
Vinason didn't speak, didn't give an answer immediately, and of course, he couldn't give an answer, so he could only salute in silence and watch it silently.
Halfway through Joseph, just as his body was about to sink into the darkness, he paused and turned to look at Venathan:
"There is no compulsion in it, no matter which path you choose, you must follow the deepest will of your heart, don't underestimate this will, at some point it will save you and avoid falling out of control into the abyss."
With that, Joseph's figure completely disappeared into darkness, and Venason stared in the direction he had disappeared, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled again.
If I hadn't entered the Old Court, maybe I would have really chosen the Pied Piper or the Dream Thief path, but when I entered the Old Court, maybe the Spirit Master would be the best fit for me.
Even though I am not a true deity, though the spirit master lacks the power to respond clearly, and though I am always subjected to the illusory whispers of madness and depravity, you are right, follow your heart's choice......
Venason laughed to himself, reining in his divergent thoughts, and looked up at the two rounds of crimson moons, the space around him becoming illusory, peeling away little by little, collapsing, and finally calming down.
He was still lying on the bed, his eyes open, quietly looking at the faint crimson that came in from the window, and at the Jason journal that was spread out on the table covered with light veil.
Outside the window, a black wild cat occasionally jumps quickly, startles a dog barking downstairs, and a sleepover street man mutters a few unintelligible dream whispers from time to time.
This kind of noise does not destroy the tranquility of the moment, it is like a dark and deep pool, there are not many ripples, not many splashes, but it can drown people's hearts silently.
Time ticked by, and when the crimson faded, the east was fiery red, and the distant and ethereal bells of St. Hornavich Cathedral could be heard in the distance, Venason was fully dressed, grabbed his toiletries, and walked to the public bathroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
