Part 2 THE FACELESS CHAPTER XXIV THE SEQUENCE 2
”On October 29th, the head of the Secret Cult, Charatu, visited me again, not mentioning anything specific, just chatting casually, I couldn’t guess his true intentions, he seemed to just want to strengthen the communication and understanding of each other?”
”Having already met two Church High Sequence powerhouses, I felt that Charatu was even more powerful and mysterious than them, so I casually asked without much hope, asking how many Sequences he was in, and as a result, he actually answered me!”
”He said he was a ‘miracle worker’ of Sequence 2!”
”Sequence 2… in the church’s classification, this is the angelic rank, a position close to that of a deity!”
”Surely it’s more powerful than the ‘Alchemists’ and ‘Occultists’ I’ve seen before!”
”But I intuitively think that Charatu isn’t telling the whole truth, and that Sequence 2 might just be his previous position, or, he’s about to be promoted.”
”A miracle master? A master who specializes in miracles? The name of this magic potion is evocative!”
”Is this the Sequence 2 corresponding to ‘Diviner’, the Miracle Master who manipulates fate?”
”I tried asking Charatu again if the so-called miracle was a miracle of fate? Does the ‘Diviner’ pathway belong to the pathway of gradually understanding destiny, mastering destiny, and manipulating destiny?”
”Chalatu skipped the first question and told me that fate is only a part of the ‘diviner’ pathway, not even the main one, and that the pathway that really represents fate is the ‘monster’!”
”He gave several examples for this, all of which were the names of magic potions in the ‘Monster’ sequence, Sequence 7 ‘Lucky Man’, Sequence 5 ‘Winner’, Sequence 2 ‘Prophet’, and the one at the top of the sequence, 1, ‘Serpent of Mercury’! This is also known as the ‘Serpent of Destiny’.”
”This is the first Sequence 1 I know of that totally poked me!”
”As far as I know, the ‘Monster’ pathway is supposedly held by the School of Life, a school that also seems to have a partial sequence of the ‘Medicine Man’ pathway, where they advocate a triple division between the world of absolute reason, the world of spirit, and the world of matter… Hmm, pretty cool.”
”Charatu told me that the School of Life specializes in astrology and pursues the path of harmonizing the soul with medicines, music, light, wine and aromas to eliminate unfavorable astrological signs of unfavorable destinies, believing that calamities and illnesses are the result of an imbalance between man and the level of nature, and man and the level of his own mind.”
”He also added, meaningfully, that the School of Life worships the moon.”
”Why the worship of the moon and not, furthermore, the goddess of the night?”
This diary entry took up two pages, and was obviously copied from the original front and back as well.
”That’s a lot of information ……,” Klein sighed heartily and wordlessly.
This was also the first time he knew the name of a Sequence 1 level magic potion.
”Serpent of Mercury,” “Serpent of Destiny” could indeed easily make one’s heart yearn for it!
”And this is likewise the first time I know of a certain Sequence 2, knowing that ‘Diviner’ corresponds to the Sequence 2 …… ‘Miracle Worker’ The name is not bad, not bad. It’s rich in meaning and not too low in rank, but of course, it feels a little less than ‘Seer’ ……”
”Fate is only a part of the ‘Diviner’ pathway, not even the main body, I have to remember that and always examine myself against it, and not go off on the side of fate, which could lead to failure in the role …… Charatu’s words There’s nothing wrong with looking at it backwards and forwards …… The ‘monster’ pathway is the true path of destiny …… ‘Prophet’ ‘ So it’s Sequence 2, and come to think of it, I used to kind of know a Sequence 2 ……”
Although Klein’s eyes did not move away from the paper, he seriously thought about the matter of his own sequence chain.
Because of the experience of digesting the “Diviner” and “Joker” magic potions, because of the evolution from peeping at fate, fearing fate to slightly foreseeing fate, but still feeling helpless about fate, he gradually equated the core essence of his own extraordinary path to the depth of fate, if not for this diary, he would have been able to realize that his own sequence chain was a sequence 2 sequence. depth, and if it weren’t for this diary entry, he likely would have used it as a prerequisite for understanding and playing out the subsequent sequences.
As for the question of whether or not Charatu was lying, the one thing Klein is certain of is that the “Monster” pathway is definitely a Fate Sequence, which is consistent with the descriptions he has read from the Nightwatchman’s internal materials, as well as the name of the magic potion he has heard of for a long time, “Prophet”.
Since there is a fate sequence, the “Diviner” pathway will probably not be duplicated with the other side, which will cause a certain degree of overlap, and inconsistent with the current characteristics of the various sequences shown by the differences between them.
Therefore, Klein is inclined to believe in the words of Charlatan, inclined to believe that destiny is only a part of the “soothsayer” pathway, and is not even part of the subject.
The value of these two pages of the diary is incalculable for me now …… “Alchemist” and “Occultist” are supposed to be the higher sequence of the path of the “Generalist”, and the higher sequence of the path of the “Diviner”. “Pathway of the high sequence, from the tone of Russell’s voice, they certainly do not belong to Sequence 2 and Sequence 1, that is to say, a Sequence 4 and a Sequence 3 …… For the time being, it is impossible to determine who is Sequence 4 and who is Sequence 3 …… Klein retrieved his thoughts and flipped through the diary, reading down the page.
As for why the School of Life only worships the moon and does not believe in the Goddess of the Night, who symbolizes the Crimson Moon, he is in the way of the corresponding information is not much, and he can not think deeply.
The third page of the diary was Rossel’s journey through the invention of the practical steam engine, at one time he was worried about being suppressed, at another time he was afraid that his achievements would be seized by a big shot, and between the lines he revealed that others wanted to persecute him.
I can’t imagine that Rossel the Great, who considers himself the protagonist of the times, also has such an apprehensive, worried side …… Klein moved the corner of his mouth and turned to the fourth page of the diary:
”April 18th, Matilda is pregnant.”
”It was expected, I can even say exactly which pleasure she conceived during, as I felt a decrease in the extraordinary traits at the time.”
”Once the conception was successful, my own Extraordinary Characteristics would follow a mysterious connection and transfer some of them to my child.”
”After that time, I worriedly asked Archbishop Van Esten, and he told me that this is a normal phenomenon, Sequence 7 and below, extraordinary characteristics will not be passed on to the offspring, but not absolutely, Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 will naturally pass on a portion of it, but not much, and it won’t affect its own strength too much, and that child will be born with a certain amount of extraordinary abilities, close to Sequence 9, but accordingly, his pathway is fixed.”
”At high sequence, the inheritance of extraordinary traits is something that can be controlled, one can choose to inherit it, or not, or one can choose to inherit a little, a third, half, or all.”
”That is to say, the child of a high Sequence powerhouse may be born as an Extraordinary, and as for the Sequence few, it is decided by his father or mother.”
”I wonder if this is the same for the descendants of gods ……”
After reading this diary, there were only two phrases in Klein’s mind: the “Law of Imperishability of Extraordinary Characteristics” and the “Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics”.
Is this the survival rule of those extraordinary creatures? No wonder some magical creatures give birth just before they die……. No wonder there is a phenomenon of increased desire to kill and bloodthirsty after giving birth, targeting the same kind of family or even partners, which is replenishing the extraordinary characteristics……. According to this logic, all the way to the top, where did the earliest extraordinary characteristics come from? Where did it come from? Out of thin air? The Creator of all things?
Since Ms. Justice had been promoted to a “mind reader”, Klein controlled the urge to nod and continued to read backward.
The fifth page of the diary is Russell’s rant about how no one here appreciates his pop music and thinks he’s making noise, while at the same time lamenting the fact that cool writing is a common pursuit among people in different worlds, and that the novels copied from The Count of Monte Cristo are so popular they’ve allowed the newspaper he founded to flourish.
…… What else have you not done, Archon? Klein turned to the sixth and final page with a smile on his face:
”On November 10th, I received in secret at the White Maple Palace the great pirate Savigny Solomon, whom I wished to plunder my rivals in the New Passage, striking at the ships of Forsak, Ruin, and Feneport.”
”And I promised to help him advance to the High Sequence.”
”‘Black Emperor’ The names of the magic potions of this extraordinary pathway are as strange as those of the Witch Pathway; Corruption, Chaos, Depravity, Sequencericide …… However, in an echo of ‘Black Emperor ‘, they took it upon themselves to add the suffixes, Baron of Corruption, Mentor of Chaos, Count of the Fallen, and Prince of Sequencide.”
”In order for Savini to live up to his name in the future, I have decided to secretly enthrone him as a Court Count.”
”Savini has a child called Nast Solomon, and my intuition tells me that he’ll be crisscrossing the five seas in the future.”
Nast Solomon …… “King of the Five Seas” Nast? Nast who claimed to be a descendant of the Solomon Empire? He was even born during the time of Roselle! Klein was stunned for a moment.
Because Rossel mentioned the term “New Passage”, Klein easily identified the corresponding year.
The discovery of the New Passage and finding the Southern Continent was in 1194, while Rossel’s assassination was in 1198, the diary entry just now could only be in between the two.
In other words, 151 to 155 years ago.
If Nast, the “King of the Five Seas”, was really the Nast Solomon mentioned by Russell, then he would have been almost 160 years old… …… Is this due to another reason, or did the High Sequencers originally receive a certain extension of their lifespan… …Klein thought thoughtfully.
Curbing his speculations, he let the diary disappear from his hands and looked to Justice and the others:
”You are free to trade or exchange.”
”Mr. Fool” has no common sense to tell us today …… “Justice” Audrey felt slightly lost, her eyes turned, looking diagonally across the “Sun “said:
”Can I exchange information from you about dragons?”
She clearly remembered that Mr. “Sun” called the “Audience” pathway the “Dragon” pathway, and indicated that it originated from the dragon clan.
”Yes, I would like to get the Sequence 8 magic potion formula for the ‘Songwriter’ pathway.” Derek, who had been silent, replied hesitantly.
He had wanted to exchange this for the situation of the world where “Justice” and “Inverted Man” lived, so that he wouldn’t be unable to understand every time, but seeing that his digestion was nearing completion, he put promotion on the top of his list.
