Chapter 94 The Hidden Sage

"Fallen Creator... Fallen..." Argel the Hanged Man chewed on the Fool's words, as if he was lost in thought.

In his heart, what echoed was the relaxed, natural, and indifferent attitude of the other party.

That is a level-headed, equal attitude!

If there was no experience in the previous ritual, Alger might think that the Fool was just bluffing, using the means of raising himself to intimidate himself and "justice", but now, he prefers to believe that the Fool is close to that level even if it is inferior to the real Creator.

It's a danger...and an opportunity...Alger silently whispered, and then said with a bit of a smile:

"Mr. Fool, your description is indeed more appropriate. According to our observations, for those Beyonders who believe in the true creator, no, the fallen creator, the rate of loss of control is much higher than the normal value, and most of the rest are lunatics."

This is also mentioned in the internal information of the Nighthawks... and the so-called "madman" does not mean losing his mind, but his three views have become abnormally distorted... Klein kept his sitting position unchanged and did not pick up the "hanged man". talk.

He was still thinking about how to properly inquire about the Secret Order and the "Joker" potion, but he still couldn't find a way to fit his identity.

It's a pity, there is still a fundamental difference between this and the online dating platform. Otherwise, I can create a small account myself and add it in to ask me inconvenient questions... Maybe one day, I will learn magic like mirroring, and I can try it. Try, say, half the members are my trumpets...

There are twenty-two chairs here, and there are twenty-two tarot cards. The correspondence is perfect, but when I "wanted" to have a temple, I didn't call myself "The Fool" at all, nor did I think about establishing a tarot club. , um, this symbolizes the twenty-two sequence paths?

I want a temple, so there is a temple, I want a "trumpet", will there be a "trumpet"...

Seeing that the Fool who was shrouded in the thick gray fog did not speak any more, Audrey the Justice spoke in a half sigh and half curiously:

"Sounds scary, um, Mr. Hanged Man, can you tell me in detail about the various mysterious organizations and secret sects? It's hard for me to come into contact with these in my daily life, and I can only understand them through you. I'll pay for it, don't know what you want?"

Good question! "Miss Justice", you have almost taken on my trumpet responsibility to a certain extent... In this way, "The Hanged Man" will definitely mention the secret order... You are the best cheerleader! Klein was refreshed, but he didn't let his emotions show through his expressions and actions.

Alger thought for a while and said:

"I need a sum of money, 1,000 pounds, preferably a bill without consecutive numbers, or a gem that has just been mined, calculated according to the monthly average price of the Backlund jewelry trading market."

£1000? That's a huge amount of cash to buy a house in the exclusive neighborhood of Tingen! Not everyone can take it out at once... That's the annual salary of the captain, right? Hailiye's "death compensation" is only 300 pounds... Although Miss Justice is a noble, she obviously did not inherit the family property, and can only get the corresponding annuity income... Well, it is no wonder that "The Hanged Man" can use it Gems are used to deduct... Klein is particularly sensitive to money figures. Fortunately, there is a thick gray fog covering his body.

For a single lady or lady, £2,000 can make her 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 answered in a brisk and pleasant tone, "No problem, is it still delivered to the previous address?"

Listening to Miss Justice's tone, she thinks it's cheap? Klein didn't let his eyes turn away.

Alger was silent for more than twenty seconds before saying:

"Yes, the 'Warrior and the Sea' bar on Pelican Street, White Rose, Pritzker Harbor,

To the owner, Williams, that the 'captain' wanted it. "

"Okay." Audrey leaned back slightly and said in an "audience" posture, "Mr. Hanged Man, you can start."

Alger glanced at The Fool, considered for a moment, and said slowly:

"Let's start with the Moss Ascetic Order. It is the earliest hidden organization. Of course, many people believe that the earliest hidden organizations should be the Church of the Evernight Goddess, the Church of the Mother Earth, and the Church of the God of War."

"These people must be members of the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, or the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom." Audrey retorted sullenly.

The Church of the Goddess is the earliest hidden organization? It was the first time that Klein had heard such a statement.

What happened in the fourth or third era?

Alger smiled and said:

"These truths have long been buried in that ancient history. 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 Blazing Sun, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom were once secret organizations."

"Okay, let's save time and return to the topic. The Morse Penance was first formed by a few humans who watched the Blasphemy Slate, and they believed in an impersonal god called the Hidden Sage."

"This is described as a god, but it is closer to a concept, a natural law. For example, everything is number, and the hidden sage is the incarnation of spiritual numbers. For example, knowledge is supreme, and the hidden sage is knowledge itself. Therefore, the early Morse The Asceticism is a very respected organization with good relationships with the major churches."

"Members of this organization use penance to fight out of control, defuse the influence of the potion residue, and strictly keep secrets, adhere to morality and precepts, and believe that people will continue to reincarnate after death..."

"The Sequence 9 they master is called 'Secret Peeker'... The term 'Wizard' was also passed down from this organization."

Audrey savored the description of "The Hanged Man" and asked sharply:

"You said the early Morse Asceticism was a very respectable organization, aren't they anymore?"

Alger nodded invisibly and said:

"Yes, they have degenerated into an evil organization."

"Why? I think their concept is very good and normal." Audrey expressed her doubts.

This is also Klein's doubts. The information that his secrecy level can access does not record the reason for the degeneration of the Morse Ascetic Order.

Alger glanced at the eloquent Fool again, and said, "Yeah":

"The real reason, I don't know, it may have been completely covered up by the dust of history, but I know an appalling explanation."

"In that explanation, the main reason for the fall of the Morse Ascetic Order is that the gods they believe in, that is, the 'Hidden Sage', are alive!"

"He became a personified evil god!"

"Alive? How... how can it be alive?" Audrey asked in an unimaginable and incomprehensible tone.

Before she knew it, she quit the "spectator" status.

It's like a ghost story... And that "ghost" is still a god... Klein's heart also set off a gust of wind and waves.

"I'm sorry, no one knows the answer." Alger wanted to say "Maybe Mister Fool knows" casually, but he forcibly resisted the urge.

Because he already tried once on the brink of danger today.

There is this sentence in Chapter 5, Section 7 of The Book of Storms, which Alger remembers freshly, that is:

"Do not test God!"

Audrey restrained her emotions, did not ask any further questions, and motioned to continue.

Klein remained seated and silent, confirming what The Hanged Man told and what he knew.

In the end, he found that there are four points that he needs to pay attention to:

"1. The witch sect was also called the witch family in the fourth era. At that time, their members were few and they were maintained by blood reproduction, and they would kill the fathers of their children and abandon baby boys, so all members were women. , of course, these are all Argel's claims, and the specific truth cannot be verified for the time being."

"Second, the Spirit Religion group that believes in death and the Rose School that likes bloody sacrifices all originated in the Southern Continent. After the advent of the colonial era, they were almost destroyed by the Seven Gods Church, but they also spread to the Northern Continent."

"3. The Psychological Alchemy Society is currently similar to the early Moss Ascetic Society, which believes in impersonal existence and believes that the human spirit can derive everything."

"Fourth, the Secret Order is the organization with the lowest frequency of activities among all secret organizations, so it is the least understood by others. Every time they appear, they seem to be just chasing something and looking for something."

Chase what? what to look for? Klein suddenly thought of the diary he just read: Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, cooperated with Roselle in order to obtain a relic of the Antigonus family.

The purpose of their appearance this time is to retrieve the lost notes, the notes of the Antigonus family... Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling as if he had grasped the core elements of the Secret Order's actions:

They're chasing the remains of the Antigonus family!

Klein resisted the urge to tap on the edge of the table, and his mind was full of thoughts:

Well, they are looking for traces of the Antigonus family remnants?

If you want to get the recipe for the "Joker" potion from the esoteric order, you need to start from this area?

After exchanging information for a while, Klein announced that the gathering was over.

"Follow your will." Audrey and Alger got up at the same time.

After cutting off the connection and watching their figures shatter and disappear, Klein rubbed his eyebrows and tried to imagine a "trumpet" coming out.

As soon as he thought about it, he saw a figure appearing at the bottom of the long bronze table. The figure was wearing a black tuxedo and a half-height silk top hat. His expression was dull and his actions were dull. Even if there was an illusory gray fog, he could clearly see that something was wrong. .

No way... Klein experimented again and again, sighed, and dismissed the idea of ​​creating a trumpet.

After trying other things, he continued to sit above the gray fog, sitting at the head of the bronze long table, considering Audrey's previous words, and curiously cast his eyes on those illusory, crimson stars.

After a moment of silence, Klein began to contact those stars by responding to prayers rather than establishing connections.

In the peace and silence, he didn't get any information from the dozen or so crimson stars nearby.

Can you "respond" only by first establishing contact and pulling people above the gray fog? Klein nodded thoughtfully, slightly disappointed.

He didn't want to go against the wishes of others and forcibly pull them into this mysterious space.

Hmm... Klein started to prepare to leave, but he habitually came into contact with an illusory star nearby.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a faint and inconspicuous "pray" in that crimson!
