Chapter 55: Six Special Paths
"Fool" Klein looked around slowly, and instead of explaining as everyone expected, he put away his sigh and asked a question with a smile:
"Where do you think the source of the twenty-two extraordinary paths is?"
This is one of the three most central questions of occultism, and there has never been an accepted answer. Each school of thought has its own theories, and no one can convince anyone.
The "Hermit" Gardelia pondered for a moment and replied:
"The essence of the world is knowledge, the essence of knowledge is number, human beings are number, and the extraordinary characteristics of the twenty-two paths are also number, and everything is number, and it is like this from birth. ”
What she gives is the theory of the Morse asceticism, but this is not her own opinion.
"The seven churches all believe that extraordinary properties come from the original Creator, who incarnated all things, including gods, humans, sea, land, and extraordinary properties. "Star," Leonard described simply, "Of course, this is a clarification for deacons and above, and the official extraordinaries under Sequence 6 don't need to know that much. ”
Then he glanced at the "moon" Emlyn and said:
"The school of life believes that the world is divided into three layers, the material world, the soul world and the absolute rational world, and the extraordinary characteristics are the projections of certain things in the absolute rational world in the material world and the soul world, so the characteristics are not extinguished, but only reorganized. ”
Now it seems that the absolutely rational world preached by the School of Life may refer to things represented by the "river of fate", ...... "Fool" Klein thought of Will Unsetin, but remained silent and did not interrupt the communication of the members of the Tarot Society.
"Moon" Emlyn glanced back at the "stars" and said:
"As one of the masters of the Second Age, we Bloodlines believe that extraordinary traits do originate from the original Creator, and then different traits accumulate to give birth to the Old Gods, who in turn create different races. ”
This was the Bloodline's interpretation of the First Age, and Emlyn the Moon had some doubts about it, after all, he had been exposed to many secrets at the Tarot meeting.
"Hanged man," Alger nodded slightly:
"Although there are many explanations for the origin of extraordinary properties, most of them point to the original creator, which is the case with the Orthodox Church, the Aurora Society, and the Silver City. ”
"In other words, the extraordinary properties are derived from the relatively consistent perception of the original Creator?" Audrey asked thoughtfully.
Psychological Alchemy is mainly the study of the spiritual world and the sea of the collective subconscious, and lacks a complete theoretical explanation for the origin of extraordinary properties.
"That's pretty much it. "The Hanged Man" Alger did not hide his opinion.
At this moment, "Fool" Klein said with a slight sigh:
"Not all. ”
He didn't go into a tirade, but gave a relatively vague answer.
Not all of ...... Mr. "Fool" meant that the extraordinary characteristics did come from the original Creator, but not all, and a small number of them were exceptional? This is the reason for the special existence of the "Cultivator" and "Moon" paths? "The Hanged Man" Alger thought a lot in an instant, and grasped the essence of the problem at once.
Because the matter had nothing to do with him, the "magician" Furth had been listening leisurely, and at this time he asked curiously:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', you seem to mean that the vast majority of extraordinary properties originate from the original Creator, with the exception of the 'Cultivator' and 'Moon', so where do they come from?"
"Fool," Klein said quite succinctly:
"Starry sky. ”
"Starry Sky" ...... "Moon" Emlyn was shocked to hear this, and realized that things might be more serious than he thought.
- Underground pollution and the dangers of the starry sky have been shared within the Tarot Society, and all members know that both concepts are subject to erosion just by understanding.
When "Just" Audrey, "Hermit" Gardelia and others looked at each other, "Fool" Klein maintained that slightly sighing tone and added:
"It's not just that. ”
He and the Seven Lights had been in constant communication, and had identified a total of six of the twenty-two extraordinary paths that belonged to the Outer Gods.
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', what else are from the 'Starry Sky'?" Audrey asked habitually raising her hand, wary and curious.
"Fool" Klein replied succinctly:
"'Prisoner', 'criminal', 'lawyer', 'arbitrator'. ”
The first two are derived from the "Mother Tree of Desire", and the last two plus "Disordered Nation" are both from the "Children of Chaos".
- Chaos breeds order, and order has its own shadow.
The "arbiter" ...... "magician" Furth turned his head in astonishment and glanced at the "trial" Hugh.
She just felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, she could just watch from the sidelines and not worry, but who knows, the fire burned to her doorstep.
"Judgment" Hugh frowned slightly, and looked at the top of the bronze long table:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', I don't usually feel anything out of the ordinary, and I've never received an inspiration, well, from outside of you. ”
"Fool" Klein smiled and said:
"'Arbitrators' and 'lawyers' are relatively good. ”
As far as he knew, the influence of the "Children of Chaos" on the two paths of "arbiter" and "lawyer" was not deep, and it was completely incomparable to the "fallen mother goddess" to "moon" and "cultivator", and "mother tree of desire" to "criminal" and "prisoner", and this outer god was quiet as if he had disappeared.
"Magician" Furth and "Judgment" Hugh secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were a little more wary of the future.
Seeing that Mr. "Fool" did not explain too much, "Moon" Emlyn sorted out his thoughts and said:
"The peculiarity of the 'Cultivator' and 'Moon' paths comes from the 'Starry Sky', and the perceived Divine Revelation is likely to be a kind of pollution?"
Alger, the "Hanged Man," glanced at Mr. "Fool" at the top of the mottled table, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he nodded and said:
"Probably so. ”
This is a test for me...... "Moon" Emlyn sighed secretly, and said instead:
"I've mastered the names of high-order potions for the 'Cultivator' and 'Moon' paths, and I'm a little puzzled by two of them. ”
After becoming a Blood Earl and a High Deacon of the Earth Church, he was granted access to a number of materials that he had previously been unable to access.
Seeing that the rest of the Tarot Society members looked over, "World" Gelman Sparrow raised his hand and pinched his chin, Emlin thought about it and said:
"Sequence 3 of the 'Moon' path is called 'Summoning Master', Sequence 2 is called 'The Creator', and Sequence 1 is called 'Beauty God', and Sequence 3 of the 'Cultivator' path is called 'Coffin Bearer', Sequence 2 is called 'Desolation Master', and Sequence 1 is called 'Naturewalker'.
"What I'm puzzled about is that the two potion names 'Beauty God' and 'Desolate Master' both have a certain gender orientation, what do you think?"
"......" For a while, no one from the rest of the Tarot Society spoke, you look at me, I look at you, and they thought of a possibility one after another.
After a few seconds, "Justice" Audrey controlled her eyes and said in a deliberate tone:
"I remember sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' path called 'Witch', and the Assassins who took this potion eventually became witches. ”
...... This is, for me, a test...... Emlyn's lips twitched, unable to speak.
When he saw the name of the potion, he actually had a certain hunch, but he was reluctant to accept it, hoping to get another explanation at the tarot meeting.
Rest assured, there is a high probability that you will not be able to become an angel, and even if you really can, you will not have a chance to be a "beauty god...... Klein muttered a few words in his heart, but did not utter the words of "comfort".
The scene was a little quiet for a while, and "Star" Leonard coughed and took the initiative to speak:
"I share something. ”
He spoke at a slow pace about the wandering magician Merlin Hermes, the overnight rebuilding of Conston City, and the "automatic wishing machine".
As he spoke, he glanced unabashedly at "World" Crane.
The corners of Klein's mouth moved slightly, making the "world" Gelman Sparrow look ahead and said:
"I'm going to leave the east coast of the sea in the near future. ”
Hey...... This is all done by Mr. "World"? Can he already perform miracles like this? It is worthy of an angel, it is he who ...... "justice" Audrey recalled the information shared by Mr. "Gluttony", a member of the Senate of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and was surprised and admired for a while.
She doesn't use the "audience's" abilities to hide the reaction, because everyone is showing the same emotions, except for Mr. "Star", who has obviously known for a long time.
Merlin Hermes...... The wandering magician ...... "Magician" Furth wrote down this name in his little book, and secretly decided to try to distance himself when he heard this name in the future.
This is not to say that she still has that much fear of Gelman Sparrow, but she realizes one thing:
There is no peace around Gelman Sparrow, there is always something going on like this.
Of course, a little instinctive fear is still inevitable, just like the "fear" planted as a child will remain when you grow up.
"Fully automatic wishing machine" ...... happy to fulfill wishes...... Is this the role of Gelman Sparrow in "The World"? Alger "The Hanged Man" and "Hermit" Gadelia flashed similar thoughts at the same time, and then thought of one thing:
Since some time ago, Mr. "Fool" has asked everyone to make a request in the form of a wish when praying, and to give it to be fulfilled.
Is this him helping the "world" to digest the potion, or is he in the same way as the "world", and after resurrection, he also shows similar characteristics? Little "Sun" said before that Mr. "Fool" performed a miracle that caused the people of a city to move directly from the God's forsaken land to the outside of Baiam...... With "World" Gelman Sparrow still playing, this should not be something he can do...... "Hanged Man" Alger nodded his head invisibly, and had a certain guess about the path of Mr. "Fool".
I'm about to leave the east shore of the Sea, then my investigation will be easier, just make up a conclusion at random, and write directly that Gelman Sparrow has become a "miracle master" and is playing a ...... Anyway, I know everything I need to know...... Leonard muttered silently, not asking any more questions.
At this time, the "world" Gelman Sparrow looked around and said:
"What do you know about Balos Hopkins, the 'King of the Black Throne'?"
