The prompt of the "emperor" seems to remind everyone that "water is a poison", which is a kind of illusion that subverts cognition.

But according to what Hobart said earlier, everyone immediately understood: the stars are dangerous!

Gadelia simply asked, "Mr. Emperor, how many 'gods' are there in the starry sky?" ”

Hobart replied, "I don't know. ”

This kind of question can't be answered for the time being, at least not in this kind of semi-gift question, at least after Klein has become an angel.

"I've heard of a 'celestial sect' in the Rorsted Islands," Hobart continued, "and as far as I know, it's a subordinate organization of the 'Rose School.'"

"I've heard rumors that the origin of this sect is that there are extraordinary people who love astronomy and accidentally use astronomical telescopes to see things that shouldn't be seen."

Klein After the Gray Mist: I know too much about this sect, and I know that they are related to the "Rose School", but I didn't expect their death to be reflected in all aspects.

Furth was a little afraid: Fortunately, although I love the starry sky, I have never seen it with an astronomical telescope. Well, speaking of which, although I like the starry sky, I don't seem to have time to appreciate it, and I used to be busy writing books, but now I'm busy with auction houses and entertainment centers.

Audrey sighed: If there is no starry sky, there seems to be a lot less romance in life! Ay? Now that I think about it, I don't seem to see the stars very often! Not only because of the dense fog of Beckland, but also in the manor in the fiefdom, I rarely looked at the stars.

The "Little Sun" has no stars to see, and neither Alger nor Emlyn pays attention to this.

Gadelia thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Emperor, when you said this, it suddenly occurred to me that if it weren't for the needs of rituals, or the necessary occult observations, I don't seem to have looked up at the starry sky.

"I didn't think it was like anything before, but now I think it's a bit incredible."

Hobert was slightly stunned before he said, "Perhaps, maybe it is an escape from our spirituality?" ”

He paused and said: "Not only extraordinary, think about it this way, I have seen more than once in newspapers and magazines that some people lament that modern people are so busy that they don't even have time to enjoy the starry sky.

"Could this be the spirituality of all people, trying to avoid their eyes from touching the starry sky?"

Everyone was stunned, this idea was the first time they had heard of it, but it also seemed to have some truth.

"Can ordinary people's spirits react like this?" Forth asked the question on everyone's mind.

Hobert pondered for a moment before saying, "I didn't take the spirituality of ordinary people too seriously before, but it should be okay to think about it seriously."

"After all, the danger in the starry sky is too great, so big that even if you don't know the specific source of danger, you can still make avoidance.

Of course, this may also be the fear that stems from the depths of people's consciousness, and that great danger may have been seen in distant antiquity, so great that it can be written into the depths of human consciousness.

"So people's spirituality now is nothing more than a reaction based on subconscious messages."

Finally, he spread his hands: "It's just my conjecture. ”

These words once again silenced the hall.

Crane nodded to himself behind the gray mist: This is very occult.

Audrey also thought for a few seconds and said, "Based on my experience of exploring the 'ocean of collective consciousness', it seems that I do feel the common fear of human beings in the ocean of human collective consciousness.

"It stands to reason that those fears affect people's subconscious minds and cause us to do stress responses that come from the subconscious."

The other members also recalled that they had previously discussed that those common human fears might include the fear of the ancient gods from the ancients.

"Above the gods" should be more feared than the ancient gods, and the fear of them will definitely leave some indelible traces in the subconscious.

"This problem cannot be verified for the time being, and we will have time to fill in the specific theory later." Hobert's words interrupted everyone's thoughts: "No matter what, try not to look up at the stars in the future." ”

Everyone thinks that the "emperor" has a point, after all, even the extraordinary people of the "utopian" path do not necessarily have too deep research on the collective consciousness of mankind, and if they sit here and imagine it, they will only get some specious conjectures.

Hobart continued: "The second point is, never respond to the call of the unknown.

"It was also mentioned in a piece of information that I briefly announced earlier, that during my exploration of the tomb of an extraordinary being, I learned that an angel of the 'Gate' path had been contaminated.

"According to the documents in the tomb, the deceased Extraordinary is a descendant of the House of Antigonus, who have been seeking a way to ascend to the angels."

Both Crane and Furth listened to this information very carefully, and of course they both remembered the information released by the Emperor before.

At that time, Klein was eager to exchange more detailed information with the "Emperor", but there was no money at the time.

The "Emperor" continued: "One of their 'High Sequence' Extraordinaires heard the call from the starry sky and, with the help of that call, became an angel of the 'Gate' path.

"But after becoming an angel, he began to uncontrollably want to go to the starry sky, and then he was completely polluted in the starry sky, and after returning from the starry sky, he polluted his own people!"

Hobert said solemnly: "This incident is an important revelation, and I believe that this revelation does not need to be said, everyone has heard it before: do not respond to any unknown call!"

"Because the call from the starry sky will not only pollute a person, but also his relatives and friends around him."

The other members bowed slightly, they were taught more to "don't pray to strange beings", and as for not responding to strange calls, they didn't hear many corresponding warnings.

Crane and Gardelia thought almost at the same time: Russell (the Great) had responded to a strange call, and had been polluted.

"The third point is to watch out for extraordinary people or organizations that are crazy, murderous, or have poor self-control." Hobert said: "The extraordinary people of the Orthodox Church are basically very rational, and the relatives of Mr. Fool and the "founder" are generally relatively strong in self-control.

"Those extraordinary organizations that carry out bloody sacrifices at every turn, or carry out some killings at every turn, are either affiliated with evil gods or have a relationship with 'above the gods'.

"As I said earlier, the 'Rose School' and the 'Celestial Sect', this is by far an extraordinary organization that is quite certain to belong to the 'Divine Spirits'.

"Everyone must be vigilant, and if you have the opportunity, you can also strike at it."

Everyone understands this very well, and at the same time has a new understanding of the "Rose School".

Alger is even wondering if the fight against "above the gods" will be the cooperation between Mr. Fool and the "Creator"?

Hobert continued: "The fourth point, and one I discovered in one of my most recent operations: beware of those who have extraordinary abilities beyond the 22 paths. ”

The other members were stunned, originally they thought that the next reminder was something that everyone would have calluses in their ears when they heard it, but suddenly there was an "ability beyond the 22 extraordinary paths"!

Before anyone could ask questions, Hobert further explained, "As we all know, all extraordinary abilities are in the realm of the 22 extraordinary paths, but in a recent operation, I encountered some extraordinary abilities that were not in these categories.

"According to the information released to us by the 'Founder', these extraordinary abilities come from the gifts of the 'gods'!

"Extraordinary beings who have been blessed with them have access to some extraordinary abilities that we have not seen."

Almost immediately, Gadelia asked, "How long do these extraordinary abilities last?" ”

"As far as I know, it's about the same as extraordinary abilities." Hobert replied, "As long as the 'above the gods' is not taken back, it can be used forever." ”

This surprised everyone again, and Audrey then asked, "How did 'above the gods' do it?" ”

"I've only recently figured out the theory." Hobert didn't hide anything about this: "It's kind of similar to some of the gifts that the Storm Lord has given to the Wind Favorer.

"The Wind Favorer who has received this gift has much more abilities for storms, thunder, and waves than the Wind Favorer who has not received the gift."

Alger slowly bowed his head when he heard this, this is indeed the case.

Hobert continued, "The other gods should all have similar gifted abilities, but there is a matter of duration.

"And the 'above the gods' are higher than the gods, so their gifts can be maintained for a long time.

"The specific way to obtain power is through a special sacrificial ritual, in which I believe that the recipient should have been transformed physically and mentally by the 'gods' so that he can use the power of the gift for a long time."

Klein manipulated the "world" and sighed: "I didn't realize that 'above the gods' can affect the real world so deeply. ”

Other people have similar feelings in their hearts at this time.

Emlyn asked, "What should we do with these recipients?" If I come into contact with them, will they be contaminated? ”

He thought that he would hunt the followers of the "Primordial Moon" next, whether the "Primordial Moon" was the one on the Crimson Moon or the one who had been interfering with him, it was "above the gods".

So it is possible that his hunt will meet the "recipients" of what the "emperor" calls them, and for him these are some unheard-of enemies.

"At present, it is okay to deal with it as a normal extraordinary." Hobert said: "Except for some things, they don't see any difference from other extraordinary beings.

"It's just important to note that their extraordinary abilities have never been heard of before, and they are a bit difficult to guard against."

Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. ”

Hobart reminded: "The above is what everyone needs to pay attention to, and it is also the main means by which 'above the gods' currently affects the real world. ”

Gadelia frowned: Don't say I don't know, it turns out that it is around us, and there is such a high-level danger.

Crane thought a lot, first of all, he had a basic understanding of the state of the old days: the current state of the real world can only affect the real world to a small extent.

Then he was sure that there must be something blocking the invasion of the North and South Continents by the 'Gods', it could be the Seven Gods, or it could be some other force.

Others also made corresponding associations, but basically they all felt that the world was too dangerous.

After waiting for a few seconds, Crane saw that everyone was pondering, so he manipulated the "world" and said to Hobert, "I hope to get the information you just said about the Antigonus family. ”

Hober nodded: "Yes, but this involves information such as Mr. 'Gate' and 'Primordial Moon', and it can't be exchanged for free, so my offer is 1,000 pounds!" ”

Klein was stunned, but he didn't expect to involve the "Primordial Moon" again, and this time the tarot meeting was about to become a special session of the "Primordial Moon".

At the same time, Foirth and Gardelia's eyes lit up when they heard that Mr. "Door" was also involved, and they had decided to join the deal again.

Emlyn and Audrey heard that it was also related to the "primordial moon" and decided to join the trade again.

Emlyn felt that the "primordial moon" seemed to be closely related to her, and Audrey was simply curious.

Neither Alger nor Little Sun is too interested in this deal, and Little Sun is really not interested, as these "above the gods" don't seem to affect "Godforsaken" yet.

Alger, on the other hand, is because he has been poorer lately.

The last five members were willing to make the next deal with the Emperor, with each of them split £200.

Hobart briefly explained the origin of the notebook, and Klein learned that the characteristics of the human skin phantom and the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle that he had traded before were all obtained by Hobart during this operation.

Hobert then proceeded to give a brief account of the contents of the notebook, written by Colin Antigonus, and three demigods from Colin's ancestors, who seemed to hear the whispers of their ancestors on a regular basis.

So they think that the ancestors should still be alive, but they don't know where they were sealed?

One of the demigods went on a quest to find the legendary "Land of Night", from which their ancestors were said to have come, and finally found a clear clue that the "Land of Night" should be in the Hornachis Mountains.

Prepared, he headed out to the Honachis Mountains to look for it, only to be gone.

Hearing this, Klein said in his heart: Fortunately, I resisted my curiosity before, and I didn't go to the Hornachis Mountains, even the demigods of the Antigonus family would not know where to go, not to mention that I am a "secret puppet master".

Then he thought: So, the ancestors of the House of Antigonus may indeed be somewhere in the Hornachis Mountains?

This reminded Crane of what he had seen before, the ruined palace, and the worms wriggling together on the chairs in the depths of the palace.

Hobert continued: "Colin's ancestors also tried to find the whereabouts of their ancestor Antigonus by means of sacrifices and prayers, but they never received a response.

"They were not discouraged, and one day, thanks to their unremitting efforts, they finally got a response, but all the people in that sacrifice were out of control, or became insane, and a demigod was reimbursed."

Klein smiled from the gray mist: I know it's a tragedy, but I just want to laugh.

"Maybe this is the Extraordinary Family, when there is no danger to them from the enemy, their ancestors are the greatest danger. ”

If you think about it carefully, the situation of the Abrahamic family is similar to that of the Antigonus family, except that the Abrahamic family had to find Mr. "Gate" because of the "curse", while the Antigonus family "asked for it".

The other members involved in the transaction also have their own feelings, and basically they all feel that the dangers of the extraordinary world are everywhere.

At this time, the "world" asked the "emperor" in a hoarse voice: "Is it true that the ancestors of the House of Antigonus were in the Hornachis Mountains?" ”

Hobert smiled: "This issue is not within the scope of this transaction. ”

He said in his heart, "You have to add money."

It's not that he's stingy, it's that this is a friendly deal, and he can't provide too much and too important information.

Klein didn't continue to ask, he actually had a rough guess in his heart, according to the information provided by Hobert, he now knew that the Honaches Mountains were in danger, and completely rejected the idea of going to the Honaches Mountains. If you have to go there in the future, it's not too late to initiate further deals with the emperor.

Audrey asked curiously, "Mr. Emperor, why did their sacrifice get a response?" Does this mean that their ancestors really didn't die? It's just that the state is strange. ”

Crane secretly gave Audrey a thumbs up in his heart.

Hobert said, "The main deal this time is with the Antigonus family and Mr. 'Gate', as well as the 'primordial moon'.

"I won't give a clear answer to this question for the time being."

He paused and said, "In this way, I will bundle some information and conjectures of Adam, Amun, and Antigonus, and find an opportunity for us to make a deal together."

"But I don't think there's any need to know this stuff unless it's needed."

Audrey nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then she remembered that the "Emperor" had said a long time ago that Antigonus had two friends, and he guessed that those two friends could not be Amon and Adam, right?

Hobert continued to describe the contents of the note, and the only remaining demigod of the House of Antigonus was originally an "ancient scholar", and he had accidentally acquired the extraordinary properties of an adjacent path, the "traveling mage".

With the help of a hidden being, he became an angel in the "Gate" pathway, a newly promoted angel named Spike Antigonus.

According to Spike, the person who helped the secret being was very high, like a god of the "door" pathway, but not like it.

The secret being said that Antigonus's ancestors were sealed in a place with Him, and that He was able to project power into the real world and hear His call because of his special path, but Antigonus could not do this.

In addition, the mysterious being gives contradictory information, telling Spike to find him and rescue the ancestors of the Antigonus family, and asking Spike not to go.

Eventually, Spike answers the call, also to save the Ancestors, so he enters the starry sky.

Hearing that the other members here, according to some information released by the "Emperor" before, were somewhat surprised that this angel named Spike had actually returned later!

Theoretically, it is possible that He is gone forever.

Hobert continued, "According to Spike's own account, he followed that call to a strange planet.

"There seemed to be signs of human activity there, huge temples, huge cities.

But now there is nothing left of the wasteland, and at the sound of the call, Spike finds himself in a ruined temple.

"There were tall pillars and beautiful sculptures in that temple.

"At the end of the temple are magical, superimposed doors.

"Through that door, you can see a beautiful full moon, which looks like the moon hanging in the sky, but it looks so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

Then Spike heard the divine voice, and he willingly got down on one knee to serve that voice, to the moon in front of him.

With the previous trade, everyone immediately realized that it was obviously the "Primordial Moon"!

Then everyone thought of the door again, and Firth asked, "Is that door stacked on top of each other Mr. 'Door'?" ”

Hobert said: "I think it is part of the power of Mr. 'Gate', according to some gifts from the 'Founder', about the 'Gate' path to the 'High Sequence' Extraordinary.

"We suspect that the planet may have once believed in Mr. 'Gate', or that there is a legend about Mr. 'Gate', and in short, the intelligent life of that planet built a huge palace for Mr. 'Gate'.

"That civilization may have been contaminated or sealed away from Mr. Gate."

Another planet's civilization! Klein suddenly felt a little sci-fi.

Audrey also learned today that the extraordinary person of the "high sequence" can really affect the intelligent beings of other planets, which made her can't help but reverie and yearn for it.

But in the end, I can only sigh: unfortunately, the starry sky is too dangerous to go to other planets.

The most regrettable thing is Furth: Obviously, I can go to other planets in the future to see other civilizations, but I can't.

At this meeting, Gadelia, who heard this information for the first time, asked, "In other words, Mr. 'Gate' has been polluting some extraordinary beings. ”

Hober nodded, "Yes."

"So I said, if one day you understand the content of Mr. 'Gate''s call, either you have become strong enough, or Mr. 'Gate' is bewitching you to go to the starry sky."

Gadelia recalled the emotion of the previous "emperor" and nodded thoughtfully.

Finally, Hobert said, "The angel named Spike has forgotten that his original purpose was to rescue his ancestors, which is enough proof that he has been polluted and has become a faithful believer in the 'primordial moon.'" ”

Everyone nodded slowly, agreeing with this conclusion.

With the end of this round of deals, this tarot meeting is coming to an end.

After talking a little more about what happened to each other last week, Klein called the meeting to an end.

After watching the members leave one by one, and completing the sacrifice and bestowal rituals among the members, Crane returned to the real world, took out the thousand paper cranes that had become very fragile, and gently unfolded it.

Then he was going to ask all the questions he had accumulated at once, so he sharpened the pencil with a knife and wrote the letters very small: someone who wants good luck in a short time has made a good price, I wonder if you are interested?

Is your umbilical cord blood considered the blood of mythical creatures? If so, what does it cost me to get a drop?

Do you know how to make a spell with the Worm of Time?

When he had written his fill, he carefully folded the paper crane again.

Then he collapsed on the bed and entered the dream with meditation.

In a trance, Crane suddenly woke up and saw the barren black plain.

Entering the dark spire of the plains, and through the chaotic and unusual layout, he came to the depths of the tower.

Here, as usual, a round of tarot cards is sprinkled.

In the middle of the tarot, a black stroller emerges from the shadows, with an illegible baby wrapped in black silk lying inside.

Klein greeted politely, "Mr. 'Serpent of Life'." ”

Will Onsetin, who was in a baby state, said "um": "What kind of price did your friend who wants to get good luck for a while?" ”

Klein said unhurriedly: "Two 'Time Worms'! ”
