Chapter 444: The Dusk Hermit's Society
(This addition is a bit capricious (^^*), see "Author's Words" for details)
After a brief pause, Hobart continued, "Over the course of a long time, Adam, who was already the only one of the pathways, found and accommodated the extraordinary properties of two copies of Sequence 1.
"Now all he has left is to obtain the last Sequence 1 extraordinary trait and complete the corresponding ritual, and theoretically become a god."
It was only then that Klein came back from his surprise and manipulated the "world" to ask, "So what is the last extraordinary trait ......?" ”
Hobart smiled, "That's right, it's 0-08!" ”
Although the "world" did not show much emotion, Crane suddenly felt that there was an invisible force hovering around him after the gray fog.
From his time in this world, to the city of Tingen, and just now in Beckland, he felt as if an invisible hand was in control of his destiny.
Now Klein wonders, could this invisible hand be Adam?
But then, Klein denied his own idea, because he really couldn't think of what Adam would gain by manipulating himself.
This gray fog space? If Adam got here now, he should have had it easy, right? Why still manipulate yourself? Make yourself stronger?
Audrey on the other side also came back to her senses from surprise: "Mr. Emperor, have there been many angel king-level characters who want to become gods recently?" ”
"Nope." Hobert said, "Let's go back to the question of the members of the 'Dusk Hermit' just now, don't you feel familiar with Hermes's name?" ”
Only then did Audrey react: "Hermes! That's a descendant of Hermes? ”
Of course, she knew that Hermes had provided humanity with the ability to communicate with the forces of nature, and it was precisely because it was a matter of common sense that she did not think of it.
Hobert smiled, "It's Hermes himself!" ”
He said: "Give you a piece of information, the Psychological Alchemy Society has a close connection with Hermes, and it can even be said that some members have found the relics left by Hermes, which laid the foundation of this organization." ”
Audrey was surprised that Hermes had survived to this point, and at the same time, she bowed slightly, "Thank you for the gift." ”
She couldn't help but think: Could it be that Hermes is the president of the Psychological Alchemy Society? Or was the establishment of the Psychological Alchemy Society because of some psychological hint that Hermes left behind in the ruins?
Hobart smiled and signaled that it was nothing, and then he added, "As far as I know, George III is also a member of this organization. ”
This once again surprised Klein and Audrey, and Crane immediately had a guess, and he manipulated the "world" and said: "George III's godhood is closely related to Adam. ”
"Yes." "According to the reliable information I have received," said Hobart, "the uniqueness and the extraordinary characteristics of sequence one that George III needed to become a god were provided to him by Adam. ”
Crane asked, somewhat surprised, "What purpose is Adam?" ”
Hobert did not answer directly, but began to tell the story from another direction: "Since a long time ago, Adam has been trying to resurrect the 'ancient sun god'.
"In recent centuries, the purpose of the 'Twilight Hermit' has been to set off a torrent of the times, and the process of becoming a god of George III will be a catalyst for this torrent of the times."
Klein probably understood what Hobart meant: "Adam supported George III to become a god in order to become a god, in order to set off a torrent of times!"
"And Adam's purpose was to resurrect the ancient sun god."
With the explanation of "world", Audrey understood what Hobart meant, and she felt that the purpose and process of becoming a god seemed to be very far away from herself, but at this time it seemed to be very close to herself.
Hobert smiled: "You can understand it this way, but I want to explain that there is a very secret information in this, although it is just a guess, but it is very likely.
"But now I can't tell you, or that the message is beyond £1,800."
At present, the awakening of the divinity of the "ancient sun god" in Adam's body may not even be sure of Amun, and if Hobert is very sure of this information, there will be a big problem.
Klein nodded, such an answer was beyond his expectations.
Audrey on the other side asked, "Mr. Emperor, why do you know so much about Adam's intelligence?" ”
Klein also looked at Hobert, because he had similar questions, and Hobart seemed to know more information about the "Twilight Hermit" than Russell.
Hobert was prepared for this question: "Just last week, Adam went to the 'founder'.
"Because of the 'Founder' intervention in the Great Smog of Beckland, Adam is worried that the 'Founder' will affect the torrent of times that he has so hard to create."
Both Klein and Audrey were a little surprised, they didn't expect such a high-level meeting to happen last week!
Klein thought: So it was through the "founder's" attention to the process of George III's godhood that Hobert learned so much about the "Dusk Hermit".
Audrey asked curiously, "What is the torrent of times that Adam wants to make, or is making?" ”
Hobert said: "The 'founder' believes that the improvement of the steam engine has brought the world into a new era, and the countries of the North Continent have gradually overcapacity, and the gap between the rich and the poor in each country has gradually increased, and these unprecedented problems have caused a series of contradictions. ”
Klein was stunned, he wanted to hear the description of the second industrial revolution.
Audrey was a little worried: "Can't we solve these problems?" ”
Hobert smiled: "There is no solution in sight at the moment. ”
Specifically, the current policy strategy of the northern and southern continents is completely unable to resolve such contradictions.
Only by passing on the contradiction of overcapacity can it be possible to solve the contradiction.
Either it is passed on to the outside world or to the people at the bottom, and the transfer to the outside world will inevitably lead to war, and the transfer to the bottom will aggravate domestic contradictions.
Therefore, for the current rulers of the northern and southern continents, there is a dilemma.
Klein asked, "What role did George III play in this?" ”
Hobert smiled, "I can't answer that question. ”
Klein was slightly stunned, but thinking of George III's repeal of the Grain Act in recent years and the introduction of many new policies, it seems to have exacerbated the contradictions at home and abroad: Could it be that Hobert's deliberate concealment was because it involved some key ceremonies?
Audrey was keenly aware: "Mr. Emperor, does Adam be a god, does it have any effect on me in the same way?" ”
"For now, you can only be Sequence 2 of the pathway at best." Hobert said, "In the future, you may be the sequence 1 of the pathway. ”
Audrey was a little curious: "Why are these effects happening?" ”
Hobert smiled, "That's another question." ”
Crane, however, used his vast occult knowledge to guess that, according to the law of conservation of extraordinary properties, when a path has a true God, there may be no sequence 1. After all, to become a true god, one needs three copies of the extraordinary properties of Sequence 1 of the pathway. But why is it possible for Miss Justice to become Sequence 1 in the future? Is there any other law in this that I don't know?
Once again, Hobart uses the "Mental Spoon" to hypnotize Audrey and the "world", so that after they leave the gray mist, they forget about Adam.
"World" then said: "You go to the 'Bar of the Brave' and ask for a beer, and tell the bartender that you are looking for Miss Sharon, who was introduced by Detective Sherlock, and no matter what reply you get from the bartender, you will leave in a taxi after drinking all your beer." Miss Sharon, the temperance faction, will come to the carriage to meet you. ”
Hobert nodded, in fact, he knew this method, but he also knew that Klein would return to Bakeland in the future, and he would also be in contact with Miss Sharon, so he had to spend 300 pounds to go through the motions.
And Audrey on the other side keenly captured the name "Sherlock Detective": is this the identity of Mr. "World" in the real world? It turned out that he was a detective, no wonder he had such a strong "anti-reconnaissance" ability, and it has always been difficult for me to get any psychological information from him.
Klein has given up this identity to the point where he is not afraid that Miss Justice will know.
After the end of this transaction, it came to the final information exchange.
"Little Sun" proposes to establish a gesture of prayer to Mr. Fool, but the experienced Alger objectes, "Compared to other secret organizations, the most significant feature and advantage of our Tarot Society is that its members do not know each other.
"I'll give you an extreme example, even if one of our members is arrested and tortured, it doesn't affect the others.
"Once there is a whole set of 'codes' or iconic gestures, the betrayal of the traitor allows the hostile forces to use these methods to fish us out one by one."
This remark calmed everyone down, and there was no idea of designing prayer gestures.
It's just that Audrey feels a little pity, not only Audrey, but Klein feels a little pity: I just thought of a special gesture!
Hobert said in his heart: This is the difference between a "soothsayer" and a "lawyer", the "soothsayer" way develops his own power habitually and secretly, while the "lawyer" path cannot hide it even if he wants to hide it after reaching a certain level.
With the proposal stranded, Klein declared the tarot meeting closed.
……
Beckland, Bridge South District.
Emlyn's vision returned to normal, and she saw the large and small dolls in the room.
Call~
Emlin let out a sigh of relief, calmed down, and recalled the first tarot meeting he had attended: "Except for Mr. Fool, the strength of the other members is not too strong, are they all like me, and they were selected for some reason?"
"There are ancestors behind me, and who are they behind them? What is certain is that behind the 'Emperor' is the 'Founder'! ”
Emlyn thought of the deal initiated by the "Emperor" at the party: "What information will be worth 5,000 pounds?" Why are the other members so convinced? I started to raise money right away! ”
He thought again of the extraordinary trait that the "Emperor" had sold him: "£3,000 to £3,500...... The hope of becoming a baron in a short time really makes me feel embarrassed! ”
As for the "Emperor's" deal with the Bloodline, he decided to talk to Lord Nibes about it at a party the day after tomorrow to see if Lord Nibes was interested.
Although Emlyn doesn't go out much, he does occasionally attend some of the Bloodline's gatherings and learns something about the extraordinary properties.
It is precisely because of this that he knows that although the asking price of the "emperor" has some premiums, those premiums are within the acceptable range.
The point is that it comes from the extraordinary characteristics of the believers of the "Primordial Moon", and I believe that Lord Nibes should not refuse such a deal.
If the deal had been brokered, he would have received the equivalent of £500.
But it's still 3,000 pounds!
Emlyn sighed inwardly that it was the first time he had worried so much about money.
Then he began to imagine that the "Emperor" would receive more than thirty thousand pounds of income for completing the deal, although he knew that it was not his own, but if he had so much money, he would be in the rich class in Beckland. If I had that much money......
Emlyn looked at the room full of dolls and smiled heartily.
……
Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.
Klein picked up the "mental spoon" and hypnotized himself.
The previous two times were the "Emperor" hypnotizing the "world", and for Klein, who was not yet interchangeable with the secret couple, such hypnosis had no effect on his ontology at all.
Fortunately, Hobert has to return to the real world to perform the bestowing ritual in order to regain the "mental spoon", which gives Klein room to operate.
Then everyone began to make sacrifices to the "fools", and these sacrifices were basically the income of the "emperor".
Klein thought again that he would have only a pitiful nine pounds left in his wallet, and of course he had five gold coins in addition to the banknotes, but all he had on him was that little money.
When he first came to Beckland, his finances were better than they are now!
At present, I have to take one step at a time, and wait until I go to sea, there are villains on the sea, so if you can't do it, you can "borrow" a little from them.
Back in the real world, Crane sacrificed the reward to Hobart to the Grey Mist, and then gave the "Mental Spoon" along with the gold pounds to Hobert, who performed the ritual.
Klein's plan was to rest at the hotel for the night before embarking on a journey to Port Prietz.
He sighed: Fortunately, the train ticket has been bought in advance, otherwise it would be another heavy expense.
……
Fenerport Kingdom, Jeffrey Collar.
Hobert first put away the "mental spoon" on the altar, and then counted the gold pounds he had obtained.
The income from the party was exactly £5,000, including £3,200 for Audrey's two deals, £800 for Klein's two deals, and £500 each for Foirth and Alger.
In addition, there are 7 pieces of extraordinary materials of the small sun in the sequence of 8 levels.
In the final free exchange session, the two men had already discussed, and two days later, on Wednesday afternoon, "Little Sun" paid Hobart a total of 17 extraordinary traits due and this payment.
Hobart then offered the "Provocative Warhammer" to the "Little Sun" in the form of a sacrifice to the Fool, and after the "Little Sun" exchanged the weapon for enough merit, he went to exchange it for Hobert's asking price: 15 extraordinary materials.
That is, in the coming week, Hobert will receive 32 extraordinary materials.
He smiled slightly: he made a small profit.
Yesterday was a good day, and in the morning the author was woken up early by the sound of firecrackers in the community, so he got up early.
This gave the author time to write 10,000 words (*°▽°*) in one day yesterday
Originally, the author wanted to save the extra 4,000 words, but after thinking about it, he sent it, after all, the author has never had the habit of saving manuscripts.
The main focus of this plus more is a willfulness.,There's no reason.,It's just to add a change ( ̄) ̄)
Yesterday consumed too much energy, so today the author Jun is ready to sleep lazily and resume the update of the 6000-word chapter tomorrow.
