Chapter Ninety-Four: The Hidden Sage (Second Recommendation Vote)
"Fallen Creator...... Fallen ......" "The Hanged Man" Alger chewed on the words of the fool as if in deep thought.
But in his heart, what reverberated was the other party's relaxed, natural, and uncaring attitude.
That's a level-eyed, egalitarian attitude!
If it weren't for the previous rituals, Alger might have thought that the Fool was just bluffing, using the means of exalting himself to intimidate himself and "justice", but now, he would rather believe that the Fool is close to that level, if not as good as the true Creator.
Is it dangerous...... It's also an opportunity...... Alger whispered silently, and then said with a smile:
"Mr. Fool, your description is indeed more appropriate, according to our observations, all the extraordinary who believe in the true Creator, nay, the fallen Creator, the rate of loss of control is much higher than normal, and the rest are mostly insane. ”
This is also mentioned in the internal information of the night watchman...... Moreover, the so-called "madman" does not mean that he has lost his mind, but that his three views have become extremely distorted...... Klein kept his sitting position unchanged and did not answer the words of the "upside-down hangman".
He was still thinking about how to properly ask about the Esoteric Order and the "Joker" potion, but he couldn't find a way to match his identity.
It's a pity, there is still an essential difference between this and the online dating platform, otherwise I can build a small account by myself and be responsible for asking questions that I am inconvenient to ask...... Maybe one day, I will learn the magic of mirroring, and I can try it, for example, let half of the members be my trumpet......
There are twenty-two chairs here, and there are twenty-two tarot cards, which correspond perfectly, but when I "wanted" to ask for a temple, I didn't call myself a "fool" at all, nor did I think about establishing a tarot society, well, this is a symbol of the twenty-two sequential paths?
I wanted a temple, so there was a temple, I wanted a "trumpet", would there be a "trumpet......
Seeing that the fool shrouded in the thick gray mist did not say anything more, "Justice" Audrey said with half sigh and half curiosity:
"Sounds terrible, hmm, Mr. 'Hanged Man', can you tell us more about the various mysterious organizations and secret sects? I have a hard time getting into these things in my daily life, I can only know through you, I will pay you, I don't know what you want?"
Good question, Miss Justice, you have taken on the responsibility of my trumpet in a way...... In this way, the "hanged man" will definitely mention the matter of the tantric order...... You're the best compliment!" Klein listened to the spirits, but didn't let his emotions show through his expressions and movements.
Alger thought for a moment and said:
"I need a sum of money, £1,000, preferably an unnumbered banknote, or a freshly mined gem, at the average monthly price of the Beckland jewellery market. ”
£1,000 -- that's a lot of cash to buy a house in one of the city's upscale neighborhoods! Not everyone can take it out at once...... Helier's "death compensation" is only 300 pounds...... although Miss "Justice" is a nobleman, she obviously has no inheritance of the family property, and can only get the corresponding annuity income...... Well, no wonder the "hanging man" said that it could be deducted with gems...... Klein is particularly sensitive to money numbers, but luckily there is a thick gray fog around him.
For a single lady or lady, £2,000 is enough for her to live a decent life for the rest of her life!
- A stable annuity income of £2,000 is around £100.
"1,000 pounds?" Audrey blurted out in surprise, and then replied in a brisk and cheerful tone, "no problem, will it be delivered to the previous address?"
Listening to Miss Justice's tone, she thought it was cheap, and Klein didn't let his gaze be taken away.
Alger was silent for more than twenty seconds before he said:
"Yes, the 'Warriors and the Sea' bar on Pelican Street in the White Rose District of Port Prieds was given to the owner, Williams, and said that the 'Captain' wanted it. ”
"Okay. Audrey leaned back slightly, put on a "spectator" posture and said, "Mr. Hangman, you can start." ”
Alger glanced at the fool, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly:
"Let's start with the Morse Ascetics, which is the earliest secret organization, of course, there are many people who believe that the earliest secret organizations should be the Church of the Night Goddess, the Mother Earth God Church, and the God of War Church. ”
"These people must be members of the Church of the Lord of the Storm, the Church of the Eternal Sun, or the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Audrey retorted sullenly.
Was the Church of the Goddess the first secret organization?
What happened in the Quaternary, or Tertiary?
Alger smiled and said:
"These truths have long been buried in that ancient history, and the only thing that is certain is that no one has ever said that the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom were once secret organizations. ”
"Okay, let's save time and get back to business. The Morse Ascetic Order was first formed by a few humans who had watched the desecration of the tablets, and who believed in an impersonal deity called the Hidden Sage. ”
This is described as a deity, but it is closer to an idea, a law of nature, such as that everything is numbered, and the hidden sage is the embodiment of the spiritual number, such as the supremacy of knowledge, and the hidden sage is knowledge itself, so the early Morse ascetic was a very respected organization, and the relationship with the major churches was very good. ”
"The members of this organization use penance to fight loss of control, defuse the effects of potion remnants, and strictly maintain secrecy, adhere to morals and precepts, and believe that people will continue to be reincarnated after death......"
"The sequence 9 they have is called 'Voyeurs'...... the word 'wizard' came from this organization. ”
Audrey savored the description of the "hanged man" and asked sharply:
"You said that the Morse Ascetic Society in the early days was a very respected organization, aren't they now?"
Alger nodded invisibly and said:
"Yes, they have degenerated into an evil organization. ”
"Why? I think their philosophy is good, it's normal. Audrey expressed her doubts.
This was also Klein's doubt, and the information available to him at the level of secrecy did not record the reason for the fall of Morse Asceticism.
Alger looked at the silent fool again, and said "um":
"I don't know the real reason, it may have been completely obscured by the dust of history, but I know a shocking explanation. ”
"In that explanation, the main reason for the fall of the Morse ascetic is that the gods they worship, the 'hidden sages,' are alive!"
"He became a personified evil god!"
"Lived? this...... How can you live?" asked Audrey rhetorically in an unimaginable, incomprehensible tone.
She unconsciously withdrew from the "audience" state.
It's like a ghost story...... And that "ghost" is still a god...... Klein's heart also set off a storm and waves.
"I'm sorry, but no one knows the answer. Alger wanted to pretend to casually say, "Maybe Mr. Fool knows," but he resisted the urge to do so.
Because he's already tried it once today on the brink of danger.
In the Book of Storms, chapter 5, verse 7, there is this sentence that Alger remembers vividly, and that is:
"Thou shalt not tempt God!"
Audrey restrained her emotions, didn't ask any more questions, and motioned to continue.
Crane remained seated and silent, corroborating what the "Hanged Man" had told with what he knew.
Eventually, he found that there were four things he needed to pay attention to:
"First, the Witch Sect is also known as the Witch Family in the Quaternary Age, at that time they were sparse and maintained by bloodline, and they would kill the father of their children and abandon the baby boys, so all the members were women, of course, this is Alger's statement, whether it is true or false cannot be verified for the time being. ”
"Second, the Spirit Order that believes in death, and the Rose School, which likes bloody sacrifices, all originated in the Southern Continent, and after the arrival of the colonial era, they were hit by the Church of the Seven Gods and almost destroyed, but they also spread to the Northern Continent. ”
"3. The Psychological Alchemy Society is currently similar to the early Morse Asceticism, believing in impersonal existence and believing that the human spirit can derive everything. ”
"Fourth, the Esoteric Society is the least active of all the secret organizations, and therefore the least known by others, and every time they appear, they seem to be just chasing something, looking for something. ”
What to chase? What to look for? Klein Horan thought of the diary he had just read: Zarathu, the leader of the Esoteric Order, teamed up with Russell to obtain a relic of the House of Antigonus.
And they appeared this time to recover the lost notes, those of the Antigonus family...... Klein's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt as if he had grasped the core elements of the Esoteric Order's actions:
They're chasing the items left behind by the House of Antigonus!
Crane resisted the urge to tap on the edge of the table, and his thoughts were full of thoughts:
Well, they are looking for traces of the remnants of the House of Antigonus?
In order to get the recipe for the "Joker" potion from the Esoteric Order, do you need to start from this aspect?
After a flurry of information, Klein announced that the meeting was over.
"Follow your will. Audrey and Alger got up at the same time.
Cutting off contact and watching their figures shatter and disappear, Klein rubbed his eyebrows and tried to imagine a "trumpet" coming out.
As soon as his thoughts fell, he saw a figure appear at the bottom of the bronze long table, the figure was wearing a black tuxedo and a half-height silk top hat, with a dull expression and wooden movements, even if there was an illusory gray fog, it could be clearly seen that something was wrong with it.
No, no...... Klein experimented a few more times, sighed, and dismissed the idea of creating a trumpet.
After trying something else, he continued to sit on the gray mist, at the head of the long bronze table, and considering Audrey's previous words, he looked curiously at the illusory, crimson stars.
After a moment of silence, Crane began to reach out to the stars in response to prayers rather than connections.
In the silence and dead silence, he didn't get any information from the dozen or so crimson stars nearby.
Only by establishing a connection first and pulling the person into the gray fog can we "respond"?Klein nodded thoughtfully, slightly disappointed.
He didn't want to go against the will of others and forcibly pull them into this mysterious space.
Well...... Crane began to prepare to leave, but stumbled upon an illusory star nearby.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a faint and inconspicuous "pray" in the crimson!
