Part 2 The Faceless Men Chapter 52 The Blasphemous Card
”Florent says that the House of Solon is more than two thousand years old, longer than the Church of the God of Craftsmen, that they have witnessed all the cooperation and strife, the light and the darkness of the Quaternary Period, and have survived to the present day, and that, with the exception of the House of Augustus of Rouen, the House of Einhorn of Forsak, and the House of Castile of Feneport, the rest of the mighty Houses who have been called alongside them, such as the House of House Antigonus and House Charlatan, have either turned to the dust of history, or have become rats in the sewers, hiding in plain sight.”
”He said it would be a gift to me to be one of his men, one of the ancient and honorable House Sauron.”
”I wanted to fuck his ancestors for the rest of my life right then and there.”
”But the fact that the Sauron family has a history of more than two thousand years is quite surprising, ah, the Fourth Era is also known as the ‘Era of the Gods’, no matter whether it’s the current orthodox seven deities, or the God of Death, the Primordial Witch, the Dark Side of the Universe, and the Real Creator, all of them are still active in the real world, and it’s said that they display miracles from time to time, and that the Sauron family It’s definitely not an easy thing for the Lun family to survive to this day and occupy a high position.”
”The long history has given them definitely more than just arrogance, they are definitely harboring quite a few secrets, and perhaps extremely terrifying seals.”
”This is truly a behemoth that towers over the earth and makes people dare not look directly at it.”
Seeing this, Klein had many thoughts at once:
Rossel was able to overthrow the Sauron family’s rule in the end, and appointed himself as the consul and protector, he must have gone through a grueling and terrifying struggle, even if the Sauron family didn’t have any level “0” seals, there would definitely be no shortage of level “1” seals, coupled with the possible existence of a high ranking Even if the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery fully supports Rossel, it may not have a good outcome. …… Could it be that the Sauron family had already declined and weakened before this, and that the turmoil in Intis was the outward manifestation of such a state of affairs?
What did they go through during that time?
Seals lost? The death of a high ranking powerhouse? And so the attention of an ambitious man was drawn?
Well …… judging from this diary, the Augustus family of Ruin would not have felt unfamiliar with Antigonus and Charathea, and they would have been documented accordingly internally.
”The Sun mentioned that Silver City had lasted for more than 2,500 years in the Deep Dark Age, which, according to my preliminary judgment, is exactly the number of years since the Cataclysm, and the Sauron family claimed to have a history of more than 2,000 years nearly two hundred years ago, so I don’t know if it can continue to the time before the Cataclysm. Before the Cataclysm,……, we will find a chance to deliberately mention the Sauron family, to see the reaction of the “sun”, if the “sun” is still dumbfounded, it will indirectly indicate that the Sauron family rose in the Cataclysm! After the Cataclysm, perhaps they have seized great benefits from the Cataclysm, so that they can become the nobles of the Fourth Age and the royal family of the Fifth Age. ……
Well, even if the “sun” does not know, but also can not be completely proved, maybe he did not learn history well.
Klein flipped to the third page and realized that the content written on it should have been written at the beginning of Rossel’s tenure as the consul of the Republic of Intis.
From the few diary entries on this page, it could be seen that Rossel’s formulation and promulgation of the new Civil Code, encouraging inventions, protecting trade, and incubating the Industrial Revolution was not just to satisfy his own bad taste in playing Napoleon and ambition to change the world, but he was reconciling himself with the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun in this way.
Eternal Sunshine is also the God of Contracts, the patron of commerce, and a better and more up-to-date Civil Code and more prosperous trade is just what his church needs.
”From this part of the diary, Rossel’s relationship with the Church of the Eternal Sun is gradually thawing out and starting to get better, he brazenly claimed the title of Emperor after more than a decade and called himself Caesar, he should have gotten the endorsement of the two major churches at the same time, or else it would have been too risky, so what exactly was he assassinated for again?” Slightly puzzled, Klein turned his gaze to the fourth page of the paper.
”August 11th, this idiot Florent is showing off again.”
”He said that he is the most promising person of the Sauron family’s generation to achieve the High Sequence because he resembles his great-great-grandfather.”
”Is there any necessary connection? I’ve looked up and down, left and right, and I can’t see where this guy has any talent.”
”And, does talent matter in extraordinary fields? Erm, being good at comprehending the essence of playing is considered a very core talent, but it’s not necessary, as long as one knows the playing method, is not so stupid as to comprehend the wrong meaning, and doesn’t go to things that can easily get out of control, there is hope that one can thoroughly digest the magic potion, and it’s just taking a little bit longer, and it’s not impossible to become a high sequence powerhouse in one’s lifetime.”
”The obstacle to the High Sequence lies mainly in the difficulty of obtaining extraordinary materials and the trouble of the corresponding rituals, of course, it must be recognized that the kind of natural-born extraordinary people have more time to prepare.”
”Florent’s great-great-grandfather was a High Sequence powerhouse? Like he means gifted?”
It was obvious that when he wrote this diary entry, Rossel was still very green and didn’t understand the two laws of indestructibility and conservation of extraordinary traits …… Klein nodded his head imperceptibly.
With his current insight, he could probably understand the meaning lurking in Florent Soren’s words:
The extraordinary traits left behind by a high sequence powerhouse had the presence of his own mental imprint, which was one of the reasons why magic potions formulated with this as a material were prone to make people lose control.
The person who resembles the original owner can avoid this negative effect to the greatest extent possible, and the probability of successful promotion is much higher than that of ordinary people, so they are said to be gifted, and the “holy relics” recognizing the owner should belong to a similar situation.
This is the same as the play method ah, just can not be popularized …… until the success of the promotion, the same still have to play according to the name of the magic potion, the characteristics of the thoroughly digested …… Klein thoughtfully glanced at the two diary entries behind this page, and found that Rossel the Great very fond of the open customs of Intis, but was apprehensive about his future wife being equally open.
With a slight clatter, Klein placed the fifth page of paper at the top:
”On the twentieth of April, I once again attended a hidden gathering of that ancient organization, and the one member still blows me away; it’s hard to believe that they are all from this organization.”
”This time, I learned part of the philosophy of this ancient organization; they believe that man is always losing himself little by little until he ‘falls asleep,’ and therefore must work hard to observe himself, to remember himself, and to rely on this and all sorts of knowledge to gain purification in order to cope with the ultimate doom. ”
”They have kept and passed on for thousands and thousands of years the secret that the twilight is bound to come and that the end cannot be avoided.”
”They believe in the original One, the Creator, and believe that K is not truly dead, and that when the twilight comes, when the end of all things appears, K will awaken from his slumber, bring all to itself, and usher in a new world, a new history.”
”All the actions of this organization are based on the above concepts, and it can be seen that they are very hostile to the ‘True Creator’ and do not mince words in describing k in all kinds of expressions of depravity and evil.”
”They hold the second Blasphemous Tablet, which holds the twenty-two Pathways of God, but stipulates that members can only choose a few of them, except for those who are already Extraordinary when they join.”
”Are there any secrets to these pathways?”
”I’ll make a note of it and analyze it later in retrospect, these pathways are, ‘Songbearer’, ‘Sailor’, ‘Reader’ and ‘Audience’.”
”Haha, I’ll have to change my customary name for the Sequential Pathways from now on, that call looks LOW within that ancient organization.”
This is similar to what I analyzed from the hostile relationship, Mr. A’s request, that the “Glorifier,” “Sailor,” “Reader,” and “Secret Prayer Man “The paths of “Glorifier”, “Sailor”, “Reader” and “Secret Prayer” can be interchanged in sequence 4. …… “Manipulator” is the higher sequence of “Audience” path? Why do many hidden organizations claim that the end will come, such as the Witch Cult, such as this ancient organization, and they themselves do not rely on this mission, is the need for brainwashing, or will there really be a so-called twilight? Klein associated with a lot of things, but could not get a definite answer due to insufficient information.
At the same time, he still couldn’t help but bellyache:
Russell, can’t you just spell out the name of that organization?
Restraining his expression from changing and body movements, Klein flipped over the less informative paper and looked at the last page:
”January 1st, it’s the beginning of a new year, and I just happened to finish making my first ‘Blasphemy Card’.”
”I will hide the ultimate secrets contained in the twenty-two Pathways of the Gods within these various ‘Blasphemy Cards’ and disperse them to various places, which will be my children’s greatest defense if things fail.”
”Haha, I will destroy all the order you want and spread the mysteries of the gods!”
”These ‘Blasphemous Cards’ will possess anti-divination and anti-prophecy properties, except for the portion reserved for my children, which will be given to those who have a destiny!”
”I am a man who has always avenged my grudges and avenged my enemies, who cares about the floods when I die! Well, I didn’t coin that phrase.”
”All in all, the more chaotic the pattern of the Mysterious World, the better!”
”I have to think about how to name the upcoming set of ‘Blasphemy Cards’, there are twenty-two Pathways of the Gods, and there are twenty-two Master Cards of the Tarot, which is a perfect counterpart, however, some of the names don’t fulfill the requirements, and I have to make certain changes to match the original names of the magical potions. ”
”That ancient organization is my last and greatest dependence, and I wonder if they will support me, and in what way.”
”I still remember the shock I felt when I first saw the Profane Tablet.”
”It turns out that the Extraordinary Pathway is really the ‘Pathway of God’, and it turns out that the ‘Blasphemous Tablet’ is really blaspheming.”
”On top of Sequence 1 of each pathway, there is also a Sequence 0! There are also corresponding magic potion recipes and rituals!”
”There can only be one Sequence 0 per pathway!”
”And Sequence 0 is the Sequence where the True God is!”
”For example, Sequence 0, ‘The Sun’!”
