Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 4 Description of Mr. Door
Mr. “Door”…… This naming style is very much like me …… I wonder what the real name of this poor guy trapped in the depths of the storm, lost in the darkness, the equivalent of the serial number, or is it really one of the evil demons, as predicted by Roselle the Great …… Klein laughed darkly, half in disgust, half to himself. Or, indeed, as predicted by Rossel the Great, is one of the Evil God Demons …… Klein gave a dark laugh, half belly laugh, half self-deprecating, equally interested in some of the history of the Quaternary:
”I know the most famous ‘Battle of the Four Emperors’ of the Fourth Era, but for the specific details and the main characters, I am limited to knowing the ones that have been circulated by the major churches, such as, for example, the ‘Black Emperor’ of Solomon’s Empire. ”
”It wasn’t until today that that so-called Mr. ‘Door’ unlocked my doubts and let me know who the remaining three of the Four Emperors were, the half-crazed ‘Blood Emperor’ of the Tudor Dynasty, the Trenthorst Empire’s ‘Night Emperor’, and that ‘Underworld Emperor’ of the Southern Continent, commonly known as the God of Death.”
”According to Mr. ‘Gate’s’ description, in this war that changed the situation of the entire world, the Black Emperor, the Blood Emperor, and the Night Emperor fell one after another, and the Underworld Emperor seized the greatest benefits.”
”Speaking of which, Mr. ‘Door’ added meaningfully, through more than a hundred years of digestion, the God of Death went mad, but was also stronger, and so joined forces with the Original Witch to bring a ‘Pale Disaster’ to the Northern Continent, of course , this is not something he saw and experienced with his own eyes, but what he listened to every month when he was near the real world.”
”Death is mad, but also stronger!”
”Gods can go crazy too?”
”That’s a truly chilling sentence!”
”However, this also confirms one of my guesses, which is that before the Fifth Era, those deities would often descend into the real world and directly interfere with the situation in the North and South Continent, and might even come down in person, just like the God of Death.”
”I asked Mr. ‘Gate’, did he participate in that ‘Battle of the Four Emperors’? And if so, what role did it play? And what position did the Seven Gods maintain and what role did they play in that war?”
”Mr. ‘Gate’ didn’t answer my question, but only said playfully that there were quite a few more top-tier powerhouses in the Fourth Age than I had expected.”
”In addition, he also mentioned two laws, one is the law of the indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics, and the other is the law of the conservation of extraordinary characteristics within a similar sequence, which matches with certain things I know from that most secretive and oldest organization, and matches with some of the phenomena I have observed, hehe, which can deduce a lot of interesting conclusions, and make quite a lot of things take on a different look in their explanations, and make people fear and make people shuddering mold, like, for example, more high sequences within the same pathway, less low sequences, and vice versa.”
”The …… extraordinary properties fix the total number from the source, it does not increase, it does not decrease, does this indicate that there really is a Lord who created all, an omniscient God, and that everything originates from k?”
This was the longest Rossel diary entry Klein had ever read, it took up two full pages of paper, and as you can imagine, it originally existed as a front and back, but after transcribing it over and over again, it became two separate pages.
”That’s a lot of information ……,” Klein sighed silently.
As a normal graduated history college student, he had always thought that the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, and the Tron Solstice Empire were alternative successor relationships, with a certain amount of restoration in between, but who would have known that the “Battle of the Four Emperors” described by that “Gate” gentleman had clearly revealed one thing, and that was that the three great empires were the same. Mr. Gate’s description of the “Battle of the Four Emperors” clearly and unambiguously reveals that the three great dynasties existed at the same time!
”If this matter is true, it will really overturn most of the current historical research on the Fourth Age.” Klein suddenly remembered the original owner, who was interested in archaeology in exploring the history of the Quaternary Period.
Today, I can help him fulfill a wish …… I don’t know if the Shinigami at the time of the “Battle of the Four Emperors” had already become a real deity, and it’s hard to tell based on Mr. Door’s statement. It’s hard to tell based on Mr. Gate’s statement, so we can only assume that the ‘Emperor of the Underworld’ broke through the limitations and became a god through the benefits he gained from the Battle of the Four Emperors, but he also went crazy because of it. ……
A deity would also go mad, it’s truly terrifying, just thinking about the details makes one tremble from the bottom of one’s heart! No wonder the well-informed Rossel the Great had to describe it as frightening ……
Could it be that the so-called evil gods are orthodox deities who have gone mad?
Then will there be a day when there are only evil gods left in the whole world ……
Hiss, does this mean the arrival of an irreversible doomsday?
Klein hid his gradually gloomy emotions with a smile, feeling that that future he imagined was full of grayish tones.
At the same time, he upgraded his evaluation of the “Black Emperor,” “Blood Emperor,” and “Night Emperor,” believing that they were already top-tier powerhouses close to the gods.
”Maybe it’s Sequence 1, an existence located at the peak of a single pathway, according to this logic, it’s not too unacceptable for the ‘Black Emperor’ to live for hundreds or thousands of years, and one of the original master’s previous doubts is considered to have been explained, as he deduces from the content recorded by the Antigonus family to a conclusion that contradicts his own mentor’s The conclusion that contradicts his own mentor’s view that ‘Black Emperor’ is actually the common title of every emperor of the Solomon Empire …… Perhaps, the Black Emperor has always been the same Black Emperor …… Of course, one cannot rule out Another possibility, such as a turnover of two or three times, but the sequence 1 of this pathway is called ‘Black Emperor’?”
”I wonder which one in Quaternary history Mr. ‘Door’ would be …… Rossel the Great did not describe in detail his faulty experiments and fortuitous coincidences that made my attempts to speak to that ‘Door Mr. ‘Door’ couldn’t even get a conversation going.”
”The law of indestructibility of properties, the law of conservation of properties within similar sequential pathways, which is analogous to the captain’s feelings, and perhaps the vocabulary he used was passed down from Rossel the Great.”
”Based on these two laws described by Mr. ‘Gate’, it is true that a lot of interesting speculations can be deduced, for example, the seven churches that have so many holy relics and so many high-sequence powerhouses shouldn’t have many low-sequence extraordinarys, but that would contradict reality, and the only plausible explanation would be the gods’ extra gifts?”
”For example, was the fall of the Kingdom of Night precisely because of the conservation of characteristics and the harboring of the extraordinary? Or perhaps their existence severely weakened the power of the ‘Night’ pathway and threatened the position of the Goddess.”
”For example, in theory, certain seals can also be used as the main ingredient of magic potions, or even equal to them, provided of course that the hidden dangers and insanity are removed beforehand.”
……
”No wonder certain documents unearthed call the Fourth Era the ‘Era of the Gods’, so it turns out that there are many other records of the gods descending during this era.”
”And what caused the k’s to stop descending, and even the oracles were nearly cut off?”
”If it weren’t for the fact that ritual magic can get a response, I’m afraid that many extraordinary people would doubt the existence of deities ……”
Klein thought a lot at once, feeling that he had gone a little deeper in the mystical realm in the extraordinary world.
He quickly flipped through the next four pages of the diary and was disappointed to find that it no longer had anything to do with Mr. Door.
”The Joker’s ability to conceal his emotions, coupled with the gray fog, even Miss Justice Audrey, who had been surreptitiously checking him out, hadn’t noticed anything wrong.
Collecting his scattered thoughts, Klein read the third page of the diary:
”September 10th, held back for a long time, but still couldn’t help complaining a few times.”
”I was out of my fucking mind to pick the ‘generalist’ pathway in the first place, wasn’t I?”
”Sure, it does bring out my greatest strengths and get me noticed by the Church, but the problem is that several of the sequences before it lacked real-world extraordinary abilities and had to rely on magical items to make do, relying too much on external things.”
”For example, Sequence 9, ‘Generalist’, only has extraordinary abilities of memorization, learning, and practical abilities, for example, Sequence 8, ‘Archaeologist’, gains a strong physique and corresponding knowledge of antiquity, and is only barely capable of applying some Ritual Magic, for example, Sequence 7 ‘Appraiser’, with the ability to quickly identify magical items and maximize the avoidance of hidden dangers when using them, for example, Sequence 6 ‘Artisan’, who can craft mechanical wonders and not-quite-strong Extraordinary Items, but other than that, also is that the level of ritual magic will be enhanced, so it’s no wonder its modern name is ‘Mechanical Expert’.”
”In comparison, the Sequence 7 ‘Sorcerer’ and Sequence 6 ‘Professor of Scrolls’ of the ‘Secret Spy’ pathway are both tantalizing enough, if the Church’s mastery of the of the Sequence is complete, and if no Hidden Sages exist, that’s fine.”
”But, at last, I’ve also gotten the good news that once I’m promoted again, I’ll be given the real-world, combat-oriented, extraordinary ability attributed to myself, Sequence 5, ‘Astrologer’!”
”Its modern name scares me a bit, to be called ‘Astronomer’ ……”
”Am I going to end up an all-powerful mad scientist?”
”God have mercy, I only made it to the second grade in the college entrance exam!”
It had to be said that Emperor Russell had a strange talent for being funny, and even Klein, who had been in a low mood lately, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, wanting to light a candle for this senior.
Learn well, learn every day, it really is the supreme saying …… He spat out a sentence, remembering the characteristics of the mainstream extraordinarys of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery:
Lacking practical extraordinary abilities per se, but adept at crafting and using items.
Turning over the third page of only one journal entry, Klein continued his reading:
”On June 2, the Kingdom has repeatedly created strife and provoked battles, yet it has been unable to completely defeat the Forsak Empire, the Kingdom of Ruin, and the Kingdom of Feneport, and it has had to carry a high debt, with its economy on the verge of collapse.”
”From what I’ve observed, the people, merchants, and soldiers are extremely disgruntled, and the riots are just a spark away! This is my chance.”
”But I have to be cautious enough, the Sauron family has witnessed the history of the Fourth Age, it’s an ancient family that likely harbors high sequence powerhouses, I have to gain the support of the church and reach a certain tacit agreement with the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.”
”I can’t just step in directly, first let the rebels destroy the order, then end it all as a protector, Consul Rossel Gustav, I like that title.”
