The Nation of Evernight's worship on the main peak of the Hornacis Mountain Range is " The Ruler of the Night, Mother of the Sky "... Is this related to the " Demonic Wolf of Evernight " Flegrea? Therefore, the ethereal whispers I heard were actually " Hornacis... Flegrea "?
What is the connection between the ancient god " Demonic Wolf of Evernight " Flegrea and the goddess? According to Roselle, Sequence 0 equals the true god, and each Sequence has only one Sequence 0... Does the goddess inherit the authority of the " Demonic Wolf of Evernight "? Is He not the oldest deity, nor the self-proclaimed Creator with only one eye?
Well, there is a clue that, while not exactly proof, is that the School of Life worships the Moon, specifically the Crimson Moon is said to have evolved from one of the Creator's eyes, but they do not believe in the Evernight Goddess...
Klein immediately connected many things to his mind, and carefully considered his words Manipulation the "world":
Is there nothing else?
"No, the story of Flegrea, the King of Demonic Wolves, is also considered myth and legend in City of Silver. The Sun. Derrick, feeling somewhat embarrassed that I hadn't answered, suggested, 'Mr. World, could you ask another question?'"
"A different question? Little ' The Sun,' you're too blunt... Well then, I won't hold back! "Klein made "The World" say hoarsely.
Your honesty and trustworthiness are impressive.
"I once encountered an Beyonder who could freely switch between physical and spiritual forms and command Living Corpse. Do you know which pathway and Sequence this belongs to?"
Although the " The Sun " was located in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, in the City of Silver, and it was impossible for it to have any connection with Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Loen, Klein, being cautious, changed the "she" referring to Miss Sharron to "he".
"By the way, he's not High-Sequence powerhouse," he added in a low voice.
" The Sun " Derrick carefully recalled the contents of his textbook:
"If it's not High-Sequence powerhouse, then we can rule out the ' Phoenix ' pathway."
" The Phoenix Pathway?" Klein deliberately made "the World" show a certain degree of surprise.
Having attended so many gatherings, " The Sun " Derrick was well aware that there were certain discrepancies between the customary names used in City of Silver and the descriptions given by " Justice " and others in the Sequence Pathway, so he explained without surprise:
"It is the Beyonder Pathway that governs death and partially controls the Spirit World."
Its Sequence 9 is ' Corpse Collector '.
So it was the "Grim Reaper" pathway... In that case, the Phoenix Ancestor, Greta Garley, was the ancient Grim Reaper... Klein remained seated at the head of the bronze table, manipulating the "World" and nodding:
"I understand, you can continue."
" The Sun " Derrick immediately replied:
"I can only think of two possibilities. One is a special kind of ' Devil.' As I said before, Devil evolved from different races are all different. Among them are types that can freely switch between physical and spiritual forms, but these are quite rare, and they may not be able to command Living Corpse."
"Can humans do it? The world?" he asked rhetorically.
"No, at least I don't know of any similar examples. The Sun," Derrick said honestly.
"What about the second possibility?" Klein recalled Miss Sharron's usual and combat performance, and "The World" changed its sitting posture accordingly.
Derrick replied seriously:
" Mutant."
" Mutant? Doesn't that refer to Monster, world?" he asked hoarsely.
Klein clearly remembered that Mr. Azik had mentioned that " Mutant " referred to a collective term for cursed humans, and because of the different curses, the Mutant formed different races.
They are just like humans in ordinary times, but they always harbor Distortion and repressed desires. When a specific situation arises or they are stimulated by a specific thing, they will erupt and become Monster, wantonly satisfying their desires for killing and bloodlust.
With each outburst, they grow colder, eventually losing all positive human emotions.
The most representative of these is the " Werewolf ".
" The Sun " Derrick nodded frankly:
"Yes, Mutant are various Monster that diverged from humanity due to the negative effects of certain Beyonder Characteristic."
Not a curse, but a negative effect of some Beyonder Characteristic? Sitting in the thick Gray Fog, " The Fool " Klein discovered that this was different from Mr. Azik's description.
Is this what people knew about the Mutant before the Cataclysm? Common knowledge that everyone in City of Silver knew was quite valuable to the Beyonder of the Northern Continent... Klein increasingly realized the special nature of the " Forsaken Land of the Gods ".
At this point, Derrick continued:
"The very characteristics possessed by ' Mutant ' form an Beyonder Pathway, so ordinary humans can also become Mutant by consuming Potion."
" Mutant Pathway? Which one is that? What's the corresponding Sequence 9 called?" Klein asked "The World" with great curiosity.
" The Sun " Derrick didn't care how many questions this was, treating it as a necessary supplement:
In City of Silver, the corresponding Sequence 9 is called ' Prisoner '.
"The mind is Prisoner of the body, and the body is Prisoner of the world; this refers to bound madness and repressed desires."
" Prisoner "? This path is controlled by the " Rose School of Thought," known for their bloody sacrifices and worship of the so-called " Chained God "... Miss Sharron doesn't seem like such a cold-blooded, indiscriminate killer... Wait, Maric seems to be being pursued by some force. Are he and Miss Sharron defectors from the " Rose School of Thought "? Defected to avoid becoming fanatical cultists? Klein, with some suspicion, had "The World" say:
"I am satisfied with your answer. The transaction is complete."
Next, the members shared their observations and news.
Klein ended the Tarot Gathering just in time before his Spirituality energy was completely depleted.
Once the Gray Fog returned to calm, and there wasn't even a dummy left, he began traveling back and forth between this mysterious space and the real world, bringing the " Master Key " into the ancient palace.
Although I deduced from Roselle's diary that the " Apprentice " path most likely didn't have Sequence 0, I still couldn't act rashly. Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 might be effective for a counterattack from afar... And what if there really was Sequence 0? I couldn't gamble with my life... Klein calmed himself down for a moment and wrote down the Divination statement:
"Its origin."
Immediately afterwards, he grasped the " Master Key " to prevent the pronoun "it" from referring to the Error.
Leaning back in his chair, Klein silently recited the Divination phrases and gradually drifted off to sleep.
In the gray, illusory, and fragmented world, he saw a bronze lamp stand with many candle flames flickering.
The area around the lamp stand appeared to be a sealed room, devoid of any external light, containing a long table, a black iron pot, glass jars, brown notebooks, and other items.
A young man dressed in a black classical robe stood in front of the long table, staring blankly at the potion in his hand.
"Ancestors, I am about to embark on the path of the extraordinary. I will surely restore the glory of the Abraham Family!" he murmured to himself as he drank the potion.
His facial muscles immediately Distortion, revealing a pained expression.
Suddenly, he screamed and fell to the ground, struggling and choking himself.
A few seconds later, he tore his clothes apart, shed his skin, and became a blood-soaked Monster.
Bang!
The flesh exploded, each piece seemingly possessing a life force, constantly climbing outwards, leaving behind traces of Corrosion.
Ultimately, they failed to leave the sealed chamber and slowly fell into silence.
The points of light gathered and combined with a severed Severed Finger, transforming into a simple, antique-looking brass key.
At the same time, Klein noticed a silver pocket watch inlaid with diamonds among the pieces of clothing.
The dream ended, and he opened his eyes, looked ahead, and sighed:
"Honestly, they said they wanted to restore the glory of the Abraham Family, but they failed at the very first step... Becoming Sequence 9 carries some risks..."
The Abraham Family were a prominent noble family in the Tudor Dynasty of the Fourth Age, and were said to have mastered the extraordinary path of the " Apprentice," though this path was likely incomplete.
Klein recalled the scene he had just witnessed, tapping the edge of the long table lightly with his fingers, and muttered to himself:
They were speaking Loenese, but I couldn't tell what their accent was.
"The trend of setting pure diamonds in pocket watches without adding other gemstones is a phenomenon of the last decade."
"When you have time, go to the Harvest Church again and ask Father Utravsky where he got the Master Key... maybe we can find some clues."
Just as Klein was about to leave the Gray Fog, the illusory star symbolizing the " Magician " expanded and contracted, indicating that Fors was requesting a sacrificial ritual.
Fors wouldn't normally carry that much cash, but she had specifically set aside 500 pounds to attend the Beyonder Gathering in hopes of buying the items she wanted. However, the gathering was canceled due to the situation, and now she could use it to pay for the " Apothecary " recipe and the " Acting Method," totaling 430 pounds.
Seeing the light screen appear and the banknotes disappear, Fors was stunned for several seconds before he reacted and sincerely thanked Mr. The Fool.
Selling the " Apothecary " formula to Viscount Glaint for 300 pounds is fine; I can't be too greedy, or it will ruin our long-term partnership... As for Miss Audrey, I'll leave her for now. She has a chance to contact the Psychology Alchemists and obtain the corresponding formula directly. If that doesn't work, I'll try to buy it from the Tarot Gathering... Hmm, I need to observe whether the " Acting Method " is effective. If it is, then I'll consider how to pray to Mr. The Fool. Hmm... That idiot Hugh, he's always acting as the " Arbiter," and without realizing it, he's met the requirements of the " Acting Method "... Fors thought about the future.
Along with receiving the £430 reward, Klein also received a request from Miss Justice, who said that if Mr. The Fool's Blessed no longer needed cash, she could exchange her promise to collect Roselle's Diary for the £200 note, making sure to satisfy Mr. The Fool.
I'm very happy; I'm only a few dozen pounds short of £1,000! Klein politely declined Miss Justice's offer.
Next, he busied himself helping " The Sun " to "awaken" the memories of the Seven Gods' data.
After doing all this, Klein returned to the real world, exhausted. He drew back the curtains and began to review the serial killer files, searching for the possible animal.
