A great many legends, film and literary works involving the three "divine artifacts" of the Sword-Mirror-Seal flashed through Abner's mind in an instant—some Chinese, some foreign, far too many to list.
Yet when combined, they mostly served as symbols or "keys"... either to seal some Monster, or to awaken a certain existence...
Could this be the manifestation of some kind of "mystery," which was why they were so similar?
Of course, it could also be a requirement for a ritual... Abner remembered that when Roselle advanced from Sequence 2 to Sequence 1, he had switched to the Mystery Pryer Pathway and become the Knowledge Emperor.
And the Sword-Mirror-Seal were all objects representing authority, symbols of emperors or kings... Combined, they might also carry the "mysterious" knowledge from before the First Epoch that Abner had previously speculated about...
Unfortunately, he had never seen the Hermit card, and the original work had never mentioned the ritual required to advance to Knowledge Emperor... Otherwise, he could immediately verify them against each other.
While Abner's thoughts wandered, Lion Leon shook his large head and said,
"I don't know what Roselle wanted those three things for either... But I have a feeling that the Calamity Seal had another purpose in urging Roselle to make them... After all, that fellow is best at schemes!"
The Calamity Seal and Roselle had different purposes for those three items? Hmm... that was indeed very possible. After all, the Calamity Seal seemed to have known long ago that more transmigrators would arrive, and that it too would "die"...
It was only natural for it to have other calculations! Abner guessed Roselle might not have been unaware either, and had most likely tacitly approved.
Still, Leon, you seem quite resentful whenever you mention the Calamity Seal! But I've never heard you
