Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 3 Direction of Investigation
The first object of Klein’s suspicion was undoubtedly the elf king Sunyasolem.
This ancient god had invented chopsticks, could cook “Blood Want”, liked to eat animal offal, was very good at using spices, and the main stream of his descendants’ silhouettes and hair color and eyes were all close to those of the Asians on the earth, not only did Klein suspect that he was a traveler, but also Rossel the Great had the same feeling.
Of course, after further investigation, Rossel initially ruled out such speculation from the aspects of linguistics, symbolic heritage, folklore and proverbs, while Klein believed that chopsticks such as cutlery, the hobby of consuming offal and the introduction of spices are not exclusive characteristics, for a race close to nature, these are very likely to gradually appear in daily life!
As for why the elves, who had mastered the ways of the “sailors”, were a nature-loving race, Krynn was not sure of the reason, except to say that the murals and writings they had left behind described them as such.
”Once I thought it was unlikely that the elf king was a traveler, but after seeing three of the broken ‘cocoons’, I’m not so sure …… Maybe it’s really the ‘old folks’ ‘ …… Well, I can’t rule out the possibility that this ancient god is not a traveler himself, and that one of the surrounding superior elves is, which would likewise allow customs to be passed down in the name of the Elf King ……” Klein whispered something to himself silently as his fingers flicked.
Almost simultaneously, he had a direction to investigate and confirm:
There is an elf singer in Grosser’s Travels who served Queen Sunyasolem, the “Queen of Natural Disasters”, Shatas!
As long as we can enter her collective subconscious ocean, we should be able to see or touch the memory fragments related to the elven race and the ancient gods!
It is also possible to use “hypnosis” and other methods to directly make her subconscious mind speak …… The problem now is that I am not good at these things, the last time I tried to penetrate into the subconscious mind of the Grocer, I was restless and had trouble calming down, and now even though I am a demigod, I need to fight against the tendency of madness and loss of control as well. The crazy and out-of-control tendencies that need to be fought are also more and more serious, and the mental state can not be completely adjusted over a long period of time …… Forced channeling is not suitable for such a situation, such an object …… Klein frowned a little, thinking that he might need to A magical object at a higher level of the “audience” pathway, or an assistant who is at least a “hypnotist”.
He began to seriously consider the feasibility of enlisting the help of Ms. Justice:
”There’s no problem with the operation, entering as a spirit on top of the gray mist won’t make it impossible to leave. ……
”There’s no need to worry about Miss Justice prying into the secret of the Traveler, as long as Shatas herself doesn’t have this knowledge, her subconscious and collective subconscious won’t point to similar conclusions, and I’ll be able to find the clues I want from details they don’t care about and don’t value. ……
”The biggest problem is that Ms. ‘Justice’ doesn’t have many adventures and lacks enough experience to make exploring into the subconscious oceans of ancient figures very dangerous for her, where she could encounter the remnants of the ancient gods at any time …… once Without the help of a ‘psychiatrist’, the same is true for me ……
”Even if I want to seek the assistance of Miss ‘Justice’, I have to wait until she has Sequence 5, and make up for the lack of experience with the elevation of the level, and when that time comes, first try to hypnotize Shatas, and see what I can obtain from her, and if I don’t get too valuable information, then I’ll consider going into the dream realm, going deeper into the consciousness, and stepping foot in that ‘ocean’.
”By the way, the ‘dream sigil’ I’m making now is not potent enough, I’m afraid it’s hard to maintain the quest for that long… heck, the goddesses don’t respond directly when it comes to such trivial matters, they all follow fixed rituals to give fixed feedback… …The corresponding extraordinary characteristics are all given back to the Church again …… Should we let Leonard along? I don’t know if this kind of spirit level puller can circumvent the old grandpa’s watchful eye inside him, I’ll look into it in the next few days ……”
Klein withdrew his thoughts and considered the second object of suspicion.
This one didn’t appear to be anything special, and had never struck him as a traveler before, but when his spirit calmed down, calmed down, and he combed and examined it from the top, Klein realized that much of what he had viewed as common sense in the past was less than simple when he thought about it, and held unspeakable horrors.
What he suspects:
Ancient Sun God, Creator of Silver City!
”The sacred texts of each of the Seven Churches have shades of Earth’s Western religions …… Their Mass ceremonies do likewise!
”Based on the description of the little ‘sun’, what Rossel the Great saw within that little church of Adam, and on the murals in the ruins of the Godforsaken Land, it is clear that the main symbolic element of that Ancient Sun God has the cross!
”k named his children Adam and Ammon ……
”The angels under k have feathers of light, other ways, at least I haven’t seen them now ……
”k rose from nowhere and came out of nowhere in the late second age, slaying a number of ancient gods and reclaiming many powers ……
”All these details, I didn’t think anything of it before, but now I’m thinking about it in detail.” Klein hissed, going so far as to think that the Ancient Sun God was a bit more suspicious than the Elf King Sunyasolem.
The other party’s experience was simply too legendary, and was more like the protagonist of the era than Rossel the Great!
Of course, k’s ending was also quite tragic, actually being treated as a feast by the angelic kings around the divine throne and split up into smaller portions, no matter how tragic Rossel the Great ended up, he couldn’t be as tragic as this.
”Couldn’t this be another indication of the attitudes of Amon and Adam, where the k’s both believe that the Gray Mist has something to do with the k’s father, but have different choices due to their respective paths? Well, there’s a certain probability that Adam is invisible to the Gray Mist, and that the k is not one of the four paths of ‘Destiny,’ ‘Stealer,’ ‘Diviner,’ or ‘Apprentice ‘ The four pathways of the high sequence of the powerful …… “Klein nodded his head with a small amplitude.
On these leads, he likewise had a direction of investigation that didn’t require access to angelic-level bigwigs:
The Travels of Grocer lived a surviving Third Age, serving the ancient Sun God, ascetic Snorman!
”The question goes back to what was just …… Other than that there’s nothing worth suspecting for now.” Klein slowly exhaled, and reached out with his right hand, picking up the newly acquired “Blasphemy Card”:
”Red Priest” card!
With the infusion of spirituality, the card emitted a scarlet light, creating an illusory book the size of a palm.
The book turned page after page, revealing portrait after portrait of a life-like, intensely colored Rossel Gustav, either in a hunter’s outfit, with his middle finger raised, walking among a burning building, or standing behind a trap, in a variety of costumes, doing a variety of things.
”Sequence 9: Hunter …… Sequence 8: Provocateur …… Sequence 7: Arsonist …… Sequence 6: Conspirator ……Sequence 5: Reaper……Sequence 4: Iron Knight……Sequence 3: War Bishop……Sequence 2 : Weather Warlock ……Sequence 1: Conqueror ……Sequence 0: Red Priest …… “One by one, Klein’s gaze swept over the tarot-sized portraits, imprinting the contents of them in his mind.
For this pathway Sequence 0 of the ritual of becoming a god, he was not surprised, and even expected, because Hermes once told Rossel, “red” of “red priests” refers to the red of war.
Therefore, when he saw the phrase “start a war that will sweep the continent and win enough victories”, there was not a single ripple in Kline’s heart.
After capping the “Red Priest” card, he rubbed the corner of his forehead after his mental state had improved somewhat by focusing on the problem, and finally felt tired.
”Let’s set a short-term goal first, to find out the mastermind behind the Bekrand haze incident, this is something that has not been accomplished before, well, continue the arms deal according to the predetermined plan, and then return to Bekrand once you get the money, now there are two clues, one is the Viscount Stephod, the head of the palace guards, and the other is the deputy head of the MI9, Major General Chunus Kolge. …… “Crane forced himself to pull himself together, intending to find something to do for himself first.
Before leaving Grey Mist, he threw the recipe for psychotropic potion given by Miss Justice into the Crimson Star, the symbol of “Moon” Emlyn, and asked the vampire, who is good at mixing potions, to prepare a week’s supply for the “World” for the price of one bottle of one pound. A week’s supply for the “world”.
……
Inside the villa of the Audra family, in Birkeland.
Emlyn White, who was waiting in the sitting room, skimmed his mouth and muttered in his heart:
”A total of only 7 pounds of business, really don’t want to take ah …… ‘World’ be careful, you can also blend it yourself.”
He did not object to the “world’s” request, because he had only spent 5,000 pounds to buy the Sequence 5 Artificial Vampire Extraordinary Characteristics, and he only had 730 pounds of cash left.
At that moment, the middle-aged gentleman-like Casimir walked in.
After saluting each other, this Blood Baron opened his mouth and asked:
”Emlyn, what is it that you suddenly came over for?”
Emlyn was instantly a little vain, and immediately remembered his previous several experiences and the words “Inverted Man” and “World”, slightly lifted his chin, and answered in a seemingly casual manner:
”I’ve harvested a copy of Sequence 5 ‘Crimson Scholar’s’ extraordinary traits, I wonder when I can start the ceremony to make me a Viscount?”
Cassimi froze for a moment, stunned and asked back:
”You harvested a copy of the extraordinary trait of ‘Crimson Scholar’?”
Emlyn glanced at him and nodded with an inconspicuous smile:
”Right.”
He didn’t bother to explain how he got the extraordinary trait, assuming a “you don’t need to know” stance.
Cassimi opened her mouth and fell silent, spacing out for several seconds before saying:
”Wait for the next full moon.”
He paused and turned:
”I happen to have something for you.
”My grandfather asked me to tell you that a great man will be coming to Berkland recently, and k would like to meet you.”
k?Emlyn’s pupils instantly dilated somewhat.
Given how old the Blood Race was from the Second Age to the present, even with the addition of the “0” level seals, there were no more than five big names at the angelic level!
