Part 3 THE TRAVELER Chapter 3 A wealth of information
Hermes? That’s an ancient powerhouse. …… Klein’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he watched.
He, who possessed a solid background in the occult, knew very well in which era the old gentleman who created the ancient Hermetic language was active.
”That was the second era when giants ruled the earth and dragons soared the sky, in a sense, it appeared in human history even earlier than the God of War and the Mother Goddess of the Earth, in other words, before joining the Tarot Club, the little “sun” didn’t know the seven gods, but most of them had heard of the name Hermes, well, wait! I’ll get a chance to ask the ‘world’ to confirm it ……
”That old gentleman has personally experienced the thorny path of human ancestors seeking extraordinary power step by step by testing their own medicines, he used the language of giants and dragons as a blueprint, and stood on the shoulders of a number of pioneers, inventing a whole set of transcendent languages belonging to human beings, and it’s highly probable that he’s seen the first ‘Blasphemous Tablet! ‘
”It’s amazing that he lived to the time of Rossel the Great, and possibly even to the present day! This is a living fossil of human occultism!” Klein was overwhelmed with emotion, realizing the terrifying nature of the “Dusk Hermits” from another aspect.
Even Hermes was a member!
On the other hand, other secretive organizations, and even within the Church of the Seven Gods, often used the ancient Hermetic language when performing rituals and ceremonies!
”The Dusk Hermit Society” is really high-end, atmospheric, and upscale …… Klein couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
What he envied most was not the fact that the “Dusk Hermits” had a legendary figure like Hermes, who was present in human history, but the fact that the other party held the second “blasphemous tablet”.
It was like cheating! Klein thought about the fact that the Tarot Club only had one twenty-second of the Blasphemy Tablet, and he was a little saddened.
He returned the focus of his gaze to the paper and continued to read up on the remainder of that previous journal entry:
”My goodness! The plain, ordinary looking old man sitting next to me is actually Hermes, who lived from the Second Age of Darkness until the Fifth Age of Transcendental Decline!
”This organization is adding up right!
”I see my bright future, it doesn’t take three exclamation points to adequately describe my feelings at this moment!!!!
”This group of great men, these old misfits, get together and simply believe in the idea of the approaching twilight that has been passed down to this day? No, never that, at least not for me!
”There must be some among them who believe fervently in those ideas, purely to wait for the awakening of that original Creator, to have the progress of history advance to that point as expected, oh, mostly not an awakening, but a resurrection, as I understand it.
”But there can’t be more than half of such people, the rest are guys with their own agendas, either belonging to ambitious people like me, or lurking dilettantes, wait a minute, I thought of a problem, after I agreed to that cryptic invitation, I quickly joined the party, without being scrutinized at all, even though the convener of the party said that in order for me to join the party, there was a disagreement between the members and it had to be vote on it, and relying on more than two-thirds agreement, I was barely allowed, but that wasn’t the point, the point was that they didn’t care at all whether or not I believed in the idea of Twilight Nearby, and they didn’t mind that I held all sorts of ideas.
”What are they relying on to confirm that I won’t endanger this organization? Could it be that there are high sequence powerhouses of the ‘Audience’ pathway here, high sequence powerhouses who have reached the Angelic Order, and k have unknowingly planted hidden psychological hints with the help of my verbal promises, and are confident enough to detect the hidden malice of the members?
”It’s really possible, but it’s a little unnerving to think about.”
”In addition, without permission, once the name of that organization is mentioned to the outside world, it is immediately detected, and they even gave me several former members who had been purged as examples …… Even if it is written on paper, even if it is in a newly invented language, it won’t work!
”Let’s see, let’s see, Sequence 2 of the ‘Audience’ pathway is ‘Insightful’ and Sequence 1 is ‘Writer’, who here fits the appropriate profile ? (Note 1)
”Well, I have an initial suspect, and that’s the party caller.
”By the way, there’s also Sequence 0 in the ‘Audience’ pathway, which goes by the name: ‘Imagineer!
”But I don’t think there’s anyone here who’s reached the rank of a true god, or there’d be no need to hide behind the curtain at all; of course, they might have a divine object at the Sequence 0 level, such as the ‘uniqueness’ of a certain pathway, which might be the one that’s created this real dream that connects the east and west coasts of the continent and has the ability to react to the name as soon as it’s mentioned the ability to react as soon as the name was mentioned.
”I didn’t think about it that much at the time, and in shock I asked about other things, like why the word ‘authority’ was in the description of the gods, and old Mr. Hermes gave a wonderful answer.”
Seeing this, Klein realized that the page of the diary had come to an end.
He was busy flipping to the next page, but quickly backtracked again, as the diary entry after that didn’t even connect to the previous one.
The answer? Was it on the next page of the original diary, or was it too long to bother writing, or not necessary to record in the diary? Klein was manic enough to want to travel back in time and choke Rossel to make him tell himself Hermes’ answer!
Of course, he didn’t show any outward fluctuations of emotion or unnecessary body language.
”So the sequence 0 of the ‘Audience’ pathway is called ‘Empath’, which corresponds well with the ‘Dragon of Empathy’, I thought it would be the ‘Gargoyle’ …… ‘Empty Thinker’ is closer to human perception, that is to say, taking the corresponding Sequence 0 magic potion won’t inevitably turn one into a gargoyle ……
”Sequence 1 ‘Writer’, just by listening to the name of the magic potion, I feel that it has some similar characteristics to that quill pen of ‘0-08’ ……
”The ‘Twilight Hermit Society’ gathers its members by relying on a real dream that connects the east and west sides of the continent? The ‘miracle’ description at the beginning of the diary scared me, I thought they also had the Gray Mist and the mysterious space above the Gray Mist …… “Klein calmed down his emotions and realized that this page of the diary provided a lot of valid information that was important.
First, he learned that Hermes, the Ancient Sage, had lived at least a century or two ago during Rossel’s time and was a member of that mysterious organization.
Secondly, from Rossel’s unspeakable description of the organization’s name, he basically confirmed that the mysterious organization was equal to the “Twilight Hermits”.
Finally, he knew the names of Sequence 0, Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 of the “Audience” pathway. Although he could not use them for a while, they really enriched his own occult accumulation.
Perhaps at some point Ms. Justice will ask a related question …… Her curiosity has always been very heavy …… Klein forced himself to forget the missing answers, and turned to the last page of the Diary.
While he was reading, Audrey “Justice” was habitually observing all the details, and keenly noticed that Mr. “Fool” covered the “Black Emperor” card on the mottled table was missing!
He had bestowed his favorites, provided them with appropriate help, or exchanged items with some other being? Audrey’s eyes flickered as she tried to guess the reason.
She preferred the first idea, because without the help of Mr. Fool, K’s dependents might not have been able to disrupt the coming ceremony of the “Real Creator”.
It’s a pity that dad can’t see the dossier that records the details of what happened, or else I would know who Mr. Fool’s dependents are. …… He’s a medium-sized male wearing the most popular double-breasted tuxedo in Rouen, and he was in the vicinity of the Red Rosebud Manor at the time, so I might be able to pinpoint the target through this information. Through this information investigation, we may be able to identify the target …… But this may anger Mr. “Fool”, K did not let me reveal the identity of K’s family …… Audrey, do not think too much, do not be curious! Maybe in the future you will meet and get to know each other …… “Justice” Audrey retracted her eyes.
At this time, Klein, on the other hand, because of the content of the last page of the diary somewhat want to laugh:
”March 16th, first time attending a nobleman’s ball in this world and this country.
”The ladies and dames were much nicer than I expected; in the novels I’ve read, there are descriptions of medieval-like worlds where they don’t bathe, rely on perfume to cover up disgusting body odors, step in shit a lot when they go out, and smear their faces with things that can easily be poisoned by heavy metals, and so on.
”But it’s different here, they love to bathe, their perfumes are glamorous, their skin is white, their waists are tight, and their bodies are for the most Part 1n pretty good shape.
”I got over my nerves and had a nice conversation with the youngest daughter of Viscount Derilosse about the feats my ancestors had established, about my family’s estate and current title, and then, politely, she offered to go get something to eat.
”I didn’t care at the time, thinking that the matter of picking up girls needs to be gradual, but, when I went downstairs to take a walk in the garden, I found that she was snapping …… day with the eldest son of the Earl of Foulaise in the unoccupied study! They also met for the first time, ah, is it because I, Huang Tao-Russell, am not handsome enough, or is it because I don’t speak with humor and wit?
”How realistic! Luckily, those ladies are nice to me, I can feel their hidden passion, hehehe.”
Rossel earliest really do not adapt to the style of Intis …… According to history, the Gustav family declined for several generations, only the baron’s title left, the field assets are not much, until Rossel hair …… I can not imagine that the great emperor also have been taken away from the women, etc… I remember that Russell has a diary that mentions that he banged the wife of the Count of Foulez …… Awesome, awesome …… Klein moved his gaze down to look at the remaining two diaries.
They were of little value, belonging to Rossel’s account of life in the manor, and throughout they were about wanting to hunt, missing good food, and wishing for superhuman strength and good looking maids.
Klein leaned back slightly, letting the diary disappear from his hand as he smiled:
”You may begin.”
”Justice,” Audrey said instantly, looking diagonally across the room at the Sun:
”Have you gotten out of that cycle yet?”
”Sun” Derek nodded honestly, then saluted at the top of the long bronze table:
”Great Mr. ‘Fool’, thank you a million times over for your guidance, which led me to the ‘Angel of Destiny’ from the mural with the text ‘Redemption Rose’ This key point helped the Chief destroy the cycle of destiny.”
What “Angel of Fate” …… I know nothing …… very ignorant “Fool” Klein responded with a smile:
”Not bad.”
Note 1: Don’t rush to talk about the “Dragon of Imagination” and the “Dragon of Nightmares”, there’s an important setting hidden there.
