Part 2 THE FACELESS CHAPTER 255 THE MOON
For a moment Emlyn White was stiff and thoughtless, like a seated marble statue.
Then he heard the figure sitting leisurely in the thick gray mist ask blandly:
”Why do you pray to me?”
Emlyn’s mind buzzed and he blurted out:
”This is a revelation from the Patriarchs, k told us, k told us through a dream that the end is coming, and that we must prepare for it, and I, and I am one of several key points, my task is to pray to the ‘Fool’, to you!”
Hearing the other crackling without hiding detailed response, ready to follow up the words of Klein actually do not know where to start to ask, he wanted to know, Emlyn White the vampire has been originally explained clearly.
The Revelation of the Ancestors …… Isn’t the ancient god Lilith already fallen in the second epoch long before the Cataclysm, or was the Creator’s authority withdrawn? Because of this, many vampires have tried to pray to the “primordial moon”, and the results have been extremely miserable …… Moreover, Mr. Door has also mentioned that the “moon” card has been used for a long time, and that it has been used for a long time. The “Moon” card is vacant, which on the one hand indicates that the “Original Moon” is likely to be the incarnation of a deity or a high level demon, and on the other hand, it also indirectly proves that the ancient god Lilith has lost the position of the sequence 0, which is often equated with death. …… Klein instantly associated the relevant clues.
He originally thought that the “Lilith” that would answer the prayers of the bloodline in certain specific matters was a relic of the ancient god, such as the “uniqueness” of the “moon” pathway, so, dull, rigid, passive, and extremely limited. The fact that the other party is now actively giving revelation makes him reject this speculation.
”Two possibilities, one is that ‘Lilith’ is a deity that is pretending to occupy a key point in advance, blocking opponents who want to ascend to the throne of ‘Moon’ pathway sequence 0, and essentially doesn’t love the Blood Race, and the revelation that was provided was just a kind of Trial, among them, the most suspicious is, robbed the ‘Crimson Lord’ the title of the goddess, but k is already sequence 0 ah, corresponding to the blasphemy of the card in the ‘star’ card, why would you still covet the ‘moon’? Why would you covet the ‘Moon’? To sabotage the enemy?
”The second is that the ancient gods are dead but not dead, and as long as no other powerful person becomes sequence 0 in the ‘moon’ pathway, k can exist in some strange, unfathomable way, waiting for the opportunity to return again, just as the ‘Black Emperor’ card describes, and the Goddess has placed the title of ‘Crimson Lord’ upon herself, perhaps in order to undermine the matter to some extent ……
”According to this logic, Lilith’s recent apocalyptic revelation is a resurrection effort after years of accumulation, and I, the ‘Fool’, will be playing a key role in K’s prophecy, and if that’s the case, then it should be considered as some sort of ‘invitation to cooperation ‘ …… But what am I, an Extraordinary who is only Sequence 6, going to do to cooperate with the undissolved Ancient Gods?
”Getting Emlyn White to join the Tarot Society? The blood race is a race with a long life that has continued from the Second Era to today, there must be quite a lot of secrets that it knows …… Only, that would be taking a small risk, well, one can divine whether to pull Emlyn before every meeting ……
”By the way, there is a similar doomsday prophecy from the ‘Yellow Light’ Venetian in that notebook of Spirit World Insights,k which also states that the curse of the House of Abraham will be ‘lifted’ by an ‘apprentice’ who has been assisted by a Hidden Presence This, fits the current state of Miss ‘Magician’… she’s an ‘apprentice’ who received help from me, the ‘Fool’… …That’s kind of interesting, could it be that all the Highborn who specialize in prophecies saw the inevitability of the end, and also saw the existence and possible role of the ‘Fool’?”
Thoughts flashed within Klein’s mind without the slightest change in his expression.
He leaned back in his chair and laughed unhappily:
”What matters did your Patriarch ask you to pray to me about?”
The calm voice eased Emlyn out of that state of being so stiff that he didn’t know what he was doing, and shook his head slightly dully:
”I don’t know ……”
At this time, Klein saw that on the back of the chair Emlyn was sitting on, a mess of stars moved quickly, quickly forming a symbol of the “Crimson Moon”.
Sure enough, the extraordinary pathway corresponding to the descendants of the ancient god Lilith points to the “moon.”…… Klein let out a low laugh and said:
”With seven positive gods and many hidden existences, why would your Patriarchs think that I would be the key point of the end?”
The “Fool”‘s attitude finally calmed Emlyn White down, realizing that he had truly encountered an incredible event and had been forcibly pulled into a magical place by a hidden existence!
k is the “Fool”……k surprisingly did not get angry …… This is because I represent the originator? I, Emlyn White, am indeed the special one who was mentioned by the Ancestor and received a response from the “Fool”……Thinking of this, Emlyn couldn’t help but sit up a little straighter, weighing his words and saying:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, the revelation given by the Ancestor is this, I, Emlyn White, will be the key to saving the Blood Clan and defeating the End of Days, and it all starts with praying to you.”
His hidden meaning was:
The key point of Doomsday is not You, it’s me!
This guy still has such a “middle-aged” side …… Also, he has always been quite arrogant and self-centered …… Klein mentally spat out a few sentences using the popular words of the past.
He spoke rather amusedly:
”Same question, why is it praying to me and not the seven positive gods or other hidden existences?”
”…… don’t know.” Emlyn shook her head honestly.
Klein thought for a moment and deliberately said:
”Actually, I probably understand what your Patriarch means, k hoping that you will grow into a true Higher Being with my help, thus saving the Blood Clan when the end comes.”
”Grow?” Emlyn was puzzled, “As you know, there is no way for us Blood Race to grow on our own, we can only raise our rank by getting gifts from our elders and legacies from our ancestors through special rituals.”
Sure enough, the same has to conform to the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics …… In other words, there is bound to be another way, as long as it conforms to the basic law …… Klein laughed and said:
”Your insight has blinded you to the wider world.
”Of course, this question will not be answered by me, its answer must be found by you, I am merely offering you an opportunity.”
He paused for a second, looking down:
”Do you wish for such an opportunity?”
Without hesitation Emlyn rose to his feet and curtsied:
”That is exactly what I wish!”
Heh, where did your arrogance go when confronted with the Hidden Presence, how come only humility remains? Klein made a belly laugh and tapped his fingers on the edge of the long mottled table and said:
”But you must abide by something.”
”You speak.” Emlyn held back his inner excitement.
Klein smiled:
”Nothing related to me can be revealed to anyone unless you have my permission.
”This includes the Bloods who were present during the previous ceremony.”
”But ……,” Emlyn was a bit unable to accept it.
Klein was very sure of himself and asked gently in return:
”I don’t suppose Lilith asked you to report back to anyone afterward?”
This could be inferred from the fact that there wasn’t even a prayer in the revelation!
Leigh ……k called the Patriarch by name …… sounds like an old friend …… Emlyn’s heart trembled and he lowered his head and said:
”No.”
Klein’s tone didn’t rise and fall too much with a smile before speaking:
”This is a hidden deal, that’s why I responded after you left the gaze, the same way, you don’t need to report to Lilith, that will let some guys notice.”
Seeing Emlyn nod in a somewhat dazed manner, Klein added:
”To be the key to saving the Blood Clan, you must bear the corresponding thorns, for example, not being understood, being stigmatized and belittled, and only being able to walk silently in the darkness, carrying a heavy mission.”
These purposeful words at once made Emlyn White imagine the corresponding scene:
The self that was always ridiculed by his fellow clansmen for liking dolls, the self that got lost and entered the Harvest Church, leaving behind traces of shame, the self that was never valued or looked upon favorably by his elders, silently guarding the clan in a corner, guarding everyone, unbeknownst to him ……
Soon, moved by himself, Emlyn responded respectfully:
”Your will shall be carried through the earth.”
Klein leaned back and said as if the clouds were very light:
”I have acquiesced in the formation of a hidden gathering right here.
”Do you wish to join this gathering and find a way to be strong enough to save the Blood?”
”I do!” Emlyn replied without hesitation.
Klein nodded in satisfaction:
”Is there anything else you wish to request?”
Emlyn was instantly delighted and said in a panic:
”Mr. Great ‘Fool’, I would like to ask you to help me release my mental suggestion that this is a bishop of the Church of Mother Earth God ……”
”I know.” Klein calmly interrupted his description.
k know …… is not worthy of a hidden existence …… Emlyn’s head lowered again.
Klein chuckled softly and said:
”I can help you, but what price are you willing to pay for it?”
Above the gray mist, he had very strong psychic vision, and just now, he discovered that the psychological hints in Emlyn White Spirit’s body that were of a ghostly black color had somehow dissipated for the most part, thinning to a fragile degree.
Klein had originally planned to refer to the rituals in the Book of Secrets that dealt with similar problems to solve the problem, but the current situation made him believe that a secret contract ceremony plus the suppression of the “Black Emperor” card and the purification of the “Sun Brooch” would be able to completely dispel the psychic suggestion in Emlyn White’s body. The suggestion of the psyche.
The price? Emlyn thought for a while, but could not think of anything that would be of interest to the Fool’s hidden existence.
Seeing this, Klein took the initiative and said:
”I’m interested in some of your blood race’s history, so you can use that in exchange.”
The history of the Blood Race? Emlyn agreed after a brief thought.
”You can think about what will be described first, huh, before that, you need to pick a code name from among them.” Klein materialized on the surface of the long bronze table those tarot master cards that had not been picked.
Emlyn White looked at them carefully for a few moments with considerable amusement and said:
”The Moon.
”I choose the ‘Moon’ card!”
