The members of the Tarot Society did not expect that although the bombing of Beckland was over, the cosmopolitan city was becoming more and more turbulent.

Not only did a Sequence 1 angel of the "soothsayer" path come, but this angel is also very likely to attract Amon's doppelganger.

"Star," Leonard asked, "Why did the archangel of the 'soothsayer' path appear in Beckland?" ”

Crane manipulated the "world" and replied, "It seems to have something to do with the plan of the Goddess of the Night." ”

Leonard was even more inexplicable: "What plan does the goddess have?" ”

The other members were also stunned, and they were also curious about what the Night Goddess would plan?

Audrey, the "righteous" among them, suddenly realized: unconsciously, we talked about the gods and the plans of the gods, and they were already so dull.

Alger, the "Hanged Man", realized the difference: we had previously exchanged information about the gods, but the ones that had basically happened in the previous epoch, or a few epochs ago, were referring to the gods' ongoing plans.

"I don't know the specifics." "World" said, "But from what I have observed, the Goddess of the Night seems to be hoping to confuse Bakeland. ”

Based on his previous prayers, Klein keenly noticed that the goddess seemed to be unable to descend lately.

As for why he couldn't descend from the gods, he guessed that it might be the uniqueness of accommodating the path of the "Grim Reaper", but he didn't dare to be sure of his guess, but he just felt that this idea was more reasonable.

As for the goddess's plan, Crane's guess is that the arrival of Zarathu and Amon's clone may be that the goddess of the night is afraid that the enemy will know about her inability to descend from the gods, so she makes Beckerland confused, so that some of the actions of the goddess's enemies in Bekeland will be somewhat restricted.

It's just that what Klein can't understand is that the goddess seems to have prevented Zarathu from advancing to Sequence 1 before, and the attitude of the Church of the Night Goddess towards Amon's clone is not very friendly.

Letting these two guys come will indeed make Beclad's extraordinary world present a certain degree of chaos, but there is also a high probability that they will find out that the goddess of the night has not been able to descend in the recent past, right?

At the tarot meeting, Hobert, who had read the "script", knew very well: the goddess now wants the whole world to know that he cannot descend! As for the reason for not being able to descend from God, of course, it is "trying to accommodate the uniqueness of the path of death"! It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, as long as you give the god of war enough urgency.

Everyone has their own guesses about the words "world", but they don't feel like they have the point.

So they habitually looked at the "Emperor" together, and Hobert smiled: "Recently, our focus has been on the Southern Continent, and we don't know much about the situation in Beckland. ”

Then he added, "Even if I am in Beckland, but it is the plan of the gods, how can extraordinary beings like us figure it out?"

"I suggest waiting for this kind of thing, and when the goddess's plan finally comes to fruition, we will naturally guess the goddess's plan through some of the manifestations of the Night Goddess Church."

Everyone smiled helplessly, of course they understood the meaning of the "emperor": this was the plan of the gods, and as an ordinary extraordinary being, did he still have to participate in the plan of the gods?

Soon, Alger started a new topic: "As far as I've observed, the Storm Church isn't too active about this war. ”

Klein was somewhat surprised: Wasn't it too positive? This does not fit the image of the Storm Church, although their teachings neither worship battle nor war, but they absolutely emphasize the brutality of the storm against the enemy, and any anger is vented on the spot.

But then he thought that the "sailor" and the "spectator" approach were adjacent ways that could be exchanged at a high level, and there was a huge contradiction between them. Even if the "Lord of the Storm" acquiesced to George III becoming the "Black Emperor", it is unlikely that he would sit back and watch Adam ascend to the throne by the "torrent of the times". Therefore, the Storm Church is reluctant to talk about the expansion of the war into the kind that will sweep the whole world.

Klein thought of the "sailors" who were trying to restrain themselves, and sighed in his heart: It's really difficult for them.

Hobert responded to Alger: "This is normal, after all, it is impossible for a 'sailor' to support the 'audience''s plan to become a god." ”

He said: "But it is difficult to say in the future, for now, either the Vorsack Empire will be quickly defeated, or George III will give up becoming a god, otherwise the war may continue for a while."

"And if this war continues, anything can happen."

Alger commented: "The situation is getting more and more confusing. ”

At the same time, he thought, "I think so too, and because of the adjacency to the "audience," the church doesn't want to see itself helping Adam fulfill his plan.

Audrey, the "righteous" who knows some of the inside story, thinks of Intis's strange silence in this war, and is faintly worried.

At the same time, this is also the worry of Count Hall, it stands to reason that it is normal for the Fenerport Kingdom to be slow to express its position, after all, it is the weakest among the four countries of the Northern Continent, and the previous large-scale wars are also like this, it will not easily declare war, nor will it easily take sides.

But the Republic of Intis, as the second most powerful country in the Northern Continent, has not expressed its position for a long time, which is very strange!

The "Hermit" Gadelia also understood the meaning of "Emperor" based on the corresponding occult knowledge, and she did not discuss the current situation in the Northern Continent, but talked about a question that she had always had in her heart: "According to some information I have learned, almost all the ways have adjacent paths.

"But it's a bit strange that the 'monster' path doesn't seem to have an adjacent path."

"The Magician" Forthth suddenly realized that through their previous deal with Hobart, they knew almost all 22 of the adjacent paths:

"Apprentices", "soothsayers" and "thieves" are adjacent routes; "Spectators", "Sailors", "Readers", "Singers" and "Secret Prayers" are adjacent routes.

There are also "Warrior", "Sleepless" and "Corpse Collector" as adjacent paths, and the rest are two adjacent paths, "Lawyer" and "Arbiter", "Hunter" and "Witch", "Prisoner" and "Criminal", "Knowledgeable" and "Voyeur".

Stills hadn't noticed that there was indeed only one path left of the 22 paths, and it was the "monster" path that they had rarely mentioned before, as if they had only briefly talked about this path when trading the intelligence of the Angel King Ulorius.

At this time, the other members almost understood what the hermit lady meant, they all had adjacent paths, and suddenly there was such a path without adjacent paths, which in itself was rather strange.

Hobert smiled, "Have you ever thought about a problem, there are many paths that are not adjacent to each other, but they also have some similar abilities with each other.

"For example, the witch's frost attack is very similar to the frost attack of the 'prisoner' path, and the charm of the 'lawyer' is also very similar to the witch's charm, and the fireball of the 'hunter' and the fireball of the 'criminal' path, there are many such examples."

This reminded Klein of a theory that the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Advina had talked about in "Grossell's Travels".

Now that this topic has been exchanged, he will share with the conversation between himself and the "Iceberg Lieutenant General": "I have heard of the fact that a long time ago, some extraordinary beings tried to collect the extraordinary properties of an element.

"For example, as the 'Emperor' said, the frost abilities of the two paths of witch and 'prisoner', at that time, the extraordinary characteristics did not seem to be as stable as they are now, and it would be more accurate to call it an extraordinary element.

"In short, those extraordinary creatures did their best to collect extraordinary elements of the frost type, and their abilities did not become stronger, but they were more likely to get out of control."

Klein guessed, "It made me think about the idea that the extraordinary characteristics we have now would be pure extraordinary elements in the first place."

"In the random devouring of extraordinary beings, these extraordinary elements fused with each other to form the original extraordinary properties.

"In the Second Age, through the crushing and recombination of the Old Gods, the Extraordinary Elements took on a state that could make living beings more stable after being devoured.

"It wasn't until the 'Blasphemous Slate' came out that these combinations were completely formulaic, and so did they have the extraordinary properties they have now?"

At first, everyone felt a strong sense of history, and then they felt that the idea of "the world" made sense.

Gardelia thought: Theoretically, extraordinary characteristics should have an initial state, and the ability at that time should be relatively simple, for example, the way of "voyeur" will only be "mystical reproduction", such as "apprentice" will only travel through the spirit world. By some coincidence, extraordinary creatures discovered that extraordinary elements with twisted properties could be checked and balanced to a certain extent, so they gradually developed into the current extraordinary characteristics.

The other members had similar thoughts, and all felt that the process of forming extraordinary traits was the process of countering the distorted traits of extraordinary abilities.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say." Hobert said: "There should also be a problem of extraordinary characteristics becoming more and more 'warm', and the owner of each extraordinary characteristic should leave a trace of spiritual residue in the characteristics.

"This makes the extraordinary characteristics that were originally very cold and not suitable for living things to eat gradually resonate with living beings and have an opportunity to merge with each other."

The other members realized that the "Emperor" might be talking about the "Acting Law".

Hobart continued, "I don't know if you remember the question of divinity that we talked about earlier.

"It seems to me that divinity is akin to the 'consciousness of the universe,' the product of some cold abstraction for living beings.

"The extraordinary properties derived from these products are, of course, distorted and cold to living beings.

"But in my opinion, after the 'warmth' of the spirit of generations, these extraordinary characteristics should be much softer than at the beginning."

He paused and said, "Even though there was a process of merging the extraordinary elements with each other a long time ago, the primary authority of a path, that is, the uniqueness, will not change.

"So the extraordinary is still twisted and difficult to tame for living beings.

"After learning about the above speculations, let's look at the 'monster' path, maybe it's not that it doesn't have adjacent paths, but its adjacent paths are scattered into other paths?"

Hobert smiled: "This is my conjecture, there is no evidence at the moment, but as far as I know, after the 'Sleepless' becomes a demigod, he has the ability of 'doom', and this ability is to temporarily change the fate of the target and make the target very unlucky."

"And as we said before, Amon's ability to steal fate, it's hard to say whether he can steal the fate of his target if he doesn't have the relevant authority of a similar fate path?"

There was silence in the hall for a few seconds, and everyone was digesting the words of the "emperor".

Alger was the first to say: "It is very possible, because the main extraordinary characteristics are scattered, and the corresponding authority is also scattered, so the corresponding uniqueness is also diluted?"

"Or because there is no extraordinary person of this path, the uniqueness of that path returns to the state of 'cosmic consciousness'?"

The other members first felt that the speculation of the "hanging man" was very reasonable, and then they realized one by one that what they were discussing was the core part of the extraordinary world.

Moreover, there seems to be no more information to refer to in such a discussion, and it is difficult to verify it!

It's like a physics student who has been studying very hard, and finally when he makes some guesses about the universe, he finds that there is no literature to refer to, and there is no theory to support.

At this time, he realized that his thinking was already at the forefront of physics.

Hobert said again: "There is another possibility, that is, the adjacent path of the path of destiny is not in the real world!" ”

Everyone was stunned again, and at this time in the discussion, most of the members could no longer keep up with Hobart's thinking, and they tried to understand to understand what he meant.

Only Crane, Alger, and Gardelia could keep up with Hobart's thinking, mainly because they were discussing with Hobert.

When Gadelia heard Hobert's new perspective, she asked, "Not in the real world, but in the spirit world?" ”

"Maybe it's in the spirit world." Hobert hadn't planned to talk about the extraordinary properties that had torn apart the Outer Gods in the first place, so he didn't elaborate: "Maybe somewhere else." ”

Gardelia chewed on Hobert's reply, "Somewhere else?" ”

At this time, the "world" sitting at the bottom suddenly said, "For example, the starry sky." ”

Gadelia instantly thought of the outer gods, but due to the lack of critical information, some of her guesses stopped there.

Hobert clapped his hands suddenly: "I suggest that this issue be discussed only here, and then continue the discussion after we have further clues." ”

Everyone nodded slowly, because there were not enough clues, and it really couldn't be discussed.

However, the discussion just now is close enough for everyone to reminisce, at least the characteristics of "extraordinary characteristics" are basically explained.

After digesting the discussion just now, the members of the Tarot Society all looked at "Sun" Deric.

At the Tarot meeting last week, Derik's exploration team had already arrived at the camp in Afternoon Town, and planned to explore the "Giant's Court" after a full day's rest, so their exploration should have ended.

Derick sat up straight and said very consciously, "We have completed our first exploration of the 'Court of the Giants', three dead, one missing, and five alive.

"We first arrived at the main gate of the royal court, and saw two 'silver knights' guarding there in an unknown state."

He explained thoughtfully: "'Silver Knight' is the name of the 'Giant' pathway sequence 3. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized that the "giant" path is the "warrior" path.

"Moon" Emlyn, Audrey and several other members all sighed in their hearts with similar content: worthy of the 'Giant Royal Court', the kingdom of the ancient gods, actually used two sequence 3 demigods to guard the main gate. ”

Only Hobart said in his heart: What a waste.

This made him think that among the military extraordinaries he had cultivated, there were many extraordinaries of the "warrior" path who had already been promoted to Sequence 7, should he find a chance to get these two extraordinary characteristics of the "Silver Knight"?

At this time, Deric continued: "We went around to the rear of the 'Giant's Court' according to a hidden passage provided by Mr. World, and encountered many monsters with resentful spirits on the way......"

At that time, Klein, who had watched the "live broadcast" with a "real vision", sighed: Little Sun is really not a storytelling material.

The battles that took place along the way were spectacular, allowing Crane to see the close cooperation of the Silver City Exploration Team, which was rarely seen anywhere else.

"After arriving at the 'Decayed Forest', we tried to explore." "Soon, we discovered that the remnants of the Giant King's will combined with the power of the Kingdom of God to form an evil spirit.

"It's guarding the mausoleum of my parents......"

This reminded both Audrey and Leonard of their previous exploration of Grossell's Travels with The World, who, according to the Giant Guard, did not even allow his queen and children to approach the "Decayed Forest".

When Derick said this, he also paused, and unconsciously recalled the scene he saw at that time before continuing: "After purifying that evil spirit, we came to the mausoleum of the Giant King's parents.

"There was a stone tablet standing there, indicating the identity of the owner of the tomb, and the tomb and the coffin had been opened, and there was ...... There were two human corpses in there! ”

Hearing this, Gadelia's first reaction was that the two corpses had another identity: godfather and godmother? No, how could there be religion then?

Then she recalled some of the questions that the queen had come to mind when she was inspired by Russell the Great: Why do giants, elves, and vampires refer to giants, elves, and vampires as humanoids or humanoids even in ancient texts and historical materials?

Why aren't humans called giant-like, elf-like, vampire-like creatures?

Then Gadelia thought of the "Emperor's" previous explanation of the "humanoid camp" of the Second Age, and she remembered that there was a key point at that time, when the "Emperor" did not explain, only said that he would explain it after there was evidence.

She suspected that the "emperor" had already had a certain guess about this at that time?

Alger immediately suspected that someone had faked the scene, but it was not just as simple as taking the real bones and replacing them with human bones.

It is also necessary to prepare a suitable coffin so that the size of the tomb does not look like a giant, and the point is that this forgery has little practical meaning and does not have much impact on reality.

This made Alger think that no one should do such a boring thing.

Finally, he touched his hair and thought of his father, who was a hybrid of elves and humans.

Thinking of this, Alger was the first to accept this fact.

At this moment, Emlyn was the most surprised member, and his mind was full of thoughts of "impossible" and "this impossible": if the progenitor of the giants was human, what about the Bloodline? Are we just monsters created by anomalous traits?

Once again, Emlyn denied inwardly: impossible! We were obviously created by the hands of the first ancestors, and he has the authority of "life" and "creation", which is completely different from the barbarian gods such as the giant king and the elf king, who only know how to fight.

But his intuition, his rationality, his brain all told him that the "sun" had no motive to lie about it.

"It reminds me of a previous speculation about the Second Age." "The description of the 'sun' provides key evidence for that speculation," Hobert said. ”

Gardelia: Sure enough.

The other members were also attracted by Hobert's words from the surprise just now, and they all looked in the direction of the "emperor".

Hobert said solemnly, "Do you remember the 'humanoid camp' and 'non-human creature camp' we mentioned when we talked about the camp of the ancient gods of the Second Age?

"At that time, I questioned the names of these two camps and made two conjectures, the first conjecture is that all the surviving materials about the Second Age were written by humans, so the camps are distinguished from the perspective of humans."

Everyone recalled the transaction at that time, and also recalled the second guess that the "emperor" did not explain at that time, and combined with the description of the "sun", everyone seemed to immediately understand why the "emperor" had reservations at that time.

Because that conjecture is indeed too shocking in the absence of evidence!

Hobert continued, "My second conjecture is that the Giant King, the Elven King, and the Ancestor of the Bloodline all knew very well that the race they belonged to was derived from humans.

"That's why they all recognize the name 'Humanoid Faction.'"

"Why?" Emlin asked with some excitement, "Mr. Emperor, why is this happening?" I mean, I mean humans will spawn into giants, elves, bloodlines? ”

Hobert was not as serious as he was just now: "We just discussed this issue. ”

Emling's face was dead: "Because of the extraordinary properties? ”

"That's right, extraordinary features." Hobert said: "Extraordinary characteristics are not friendly to any living being, and its appearance has caused some human beings to mutate violently in a short period of time. ”

He explained, "This also explains why the Giant Kings did not accept Fabti, the 'Demon King', into their side, because in their view, demons are not derived from humans. ”

Gardelia sighed: A lot of questions make sense.

Klein thought of another question, and he manipulated the "world" to ask, "In other words, did humans first have extraordinary characteristics?" And the extraordinary characteristics seem to appear out of nowhere? ”

Hobart smiled, "I don't know." ”

He said in his heart: There should be relevant clues in the stack of diaries you put away just now.

This topic made all the members sigh in their hearts for more than ten seconds, and Deric also calmed down before continuing: "After leaving the 'Decayed Forest', we entered the interior of the 'Giant Court' through the 'Barren Tunnel'.

"There are remnants of 'depraved' and 'hidden' forces on the way, and you have to deal with them correctly to get through.

"The frescoes in that palace contain the power of the 'Circle of Fate' influenced us to become party goers, repeating a process."

He said solemnly: "That is the process of the establishment of the 'Redemption Rose'!" ”
