Chapter 94 The Hidden Sage

"The Fallen Creator...The Fallen..." "The Hanging Man" Arger chewed the fool's words as if he was in deep thought.

But in his heart, the other party's relaxed, natural, indifferent attitude echoed.

That is a kind of attitude of looking straight and equality!

If there were no experiences in the previous ritual, Alger might have thought that the fool was just bluffing and shocked himself and "justice" by raising himself, but now, he would rather believe that the fool is close to that level even if he is not as good as the real creator.

It's a danger...and also an opportunity... Alger whispered silently, then said with a little smile:

"Mr. Fool, your description is indeed more appropriate. According to our observation, all extraordinary people who believe in the true Creator, no, fallen Creator, have a far higher proportion of out-of-control than normal, and most of the remaining ones are madmen."

This is also mentioned by the internal information of the Night Watcher... and the so-called "crazy" does not mean losing his mind, but that his views have become extremely distorted... Klein kept his sitting posture unchanged and did not respond to the words of "hanging people in the upside down".

He was still thinking about how to properly inquire about the Secretariat and the "Joker" potion, but he never found a way to meet his identity.

Unfortunately, there is still a fundamental difference between this place and the online dating platform. Otherwise, I could build a small account myself and add it to me, and specifically be responsible for asking questions that are inconvenient to ask... Maybe one day, I learned magic like mirrors and could try it, for example, let half of the members be my small account...

There are twenty-two chairs here, twenty-two tarot cards, which correspond to them perfectly. But when I "wanted" to ask for a temple, I didn't call myself a "fool" at all, nor did I think about building a tarot club. Well, is this a symbol of twenty-two sequence ways?

I wanted a temple, so the temple appeared. I wanted a "trumpet". Will a "trumpet" appear...

Seeing that the foolish man shrouded in the thick grey mist did not say anything, "Justice" Audrey said half sighing and half curiously:

"It sounds terrible, um, 'Hangered Man', can you tell me in detail about the various mysterious organizations and hidden sects? It's difficult for me to get in touch with these in my daily life. I can only understand them through you. I will pay, and I don't know what you want?"

Good question! Miss "Justice", you have taken on the responsibility of my small trumpet to some extent... In this way, the "Hangered Man" will definitely mention the secret cultivator... You are the best supporting actor! Klein was excited when he heard it, but he did not let his emotions be exposed in the slightest through his expressions and movements.

Alger thought for a while and said:

"I need a sum of money, 1,000 pounds, preferably non-continuous bills, or just mined gems, calculated based on the monthly average price of the Beckland Jewelry Market."

1,000 pounds? This is a huge amount of cash. You can buy a house in a high-end neighborhood in Tingen! Not everyone can take it out at once... The captain is just this annual salary, right? Haley's "death compensation" is only 300 pounds... Although Miss "Justice" is a nobleman, she obviously has not inherited her family property and can only get the corresponding annuity income... Well, no wonder the "hanging man" said that she could use gems to deduct it... Klein is particularly sensitive to money figures, but fortunately there is a thick gray fog around him.

For a single lady or lady, £2,000 can make her live a decent life for the rest of her life!

——The stable annuity income of 2,000 pounds is around 100 pounds.

"1,000 pounds?" Audrey blurted out in surprise, then replied in a light and pleasant tone, "No problem, should I send it to the previous address?"

Listening to the tone of Miss "Justice", she thought it was very cheap? Klein did not let her eyes shift.

Alger was silent for more than twenty seconds before he said:

"Yes, the 'Warriors and the Sea' bar on Pelican Street in White Rose District, Port Pritz, said it was what the 'Captain' wanted."

"Okay." Audrey leaned back slightly, posing as an "audience", "Mr. Hanging Man, you can start."

Alger glanced at the fool, thought for a moment, and spoke slowly:

"Let's start with the Morse Asceticism. It is the earliest secret organization. Of course, many people believe that the earliest secret organization should be the Church of the Goddess of the Night, the Church of the Mother Earth and the Church of the God of War."

"These people must be members of the Church of the Storm, the Church of Eternal Sun, or the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom." Audrey retorted in a muffled manner.

Is the Goddess' Church the earliest secret organization? This is the first time Klein has heard a similar statement.

What exactly happened in the Quaternary or Tertiary?

Alger smiled and said:

"These truths have long been buried in that ancient history. The only thing that is certain is that no one has ever said that the Church of the Lord of the Storm, the Church of Eternal Sun, and the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom were once secret organizations."

"Okay, let's save time and get back to the point. The Morse Ascetic was first formed by several humans who watched the blasphemy slabs, who believed in an impersonal god called the hidden sage."

"This is described as a god, but it is closer to a concept, a natural law, such as all things are numbers, and the hidden sage is the incarnation of spiritual numbers, such as knowledge first, and the hidden sage is knowledge itself. Therefore, the early Morse Ascetic Order was a very respected organization and had a good relationship with major churches."

"Members of this organization use asceticism to fight out of control, resolve the residual effects of the potion, strictly keep secrets, adhere to morality and precepts, and believe that people will continue to reincarnate after death..."

"The sequence 9 they mastered is called 'Secret Person'... The word 'Witcher' was also circulated from this organization."

Audrey savored the description of "The Hanging Man" and asked keenly:

"You said the early Morse Asceticism was a very respectable organization, aren't they now?"

Alger nodded slightly:

"Yes, they have fallen into evil organizations."

"Why? I think their philosophy is very good and normal." Audrey expressed her doubts.

This is also Klein's doubt. The information that his level of confidentiality can access does not record the reason for the fall of the Morse asceticism.

Alger looked at the profound fool again and said "yes":

"I don't know the real reason. This may have been completely covered up by the dust of history, but I know a horrifying explanation."

"In that explanation, the main reason for the fall of the Morse Ascetic Society was that the gods they believed in, the ‘hidden sage’, lived!"

"He became a personified evil god!"

"Living? How could this... live?" Audrey asked in an unimaginable and incomprehensible tone.

She unknowingly withdrew from the "audience" state.

Just like a ghost story... and that "ghost" is still a god... A gust of wind and waves were also stirred up in Klein's heart.

"I'm sorry, no one knows the answer." Alger wanted to say casually, "Maybe Mr. Fool knows it", but he forcibly endured the impulse.

Because he has tried it once today on the brink of danger.

There is this sentence in Chapter 5, Section 7 of "Book of Storm", which is still fresh in memory of Alger, that is:

"Don't test God!"

Audrey restrained her emotions and stopped asking questions, signaling to continue.

Klein kept sitting and silent, confirming the content of the "Hangered Man" with his own knowledge.

At the end, he found that there were four things he needed to pay attention to:

"1. The Witch Cult was also called the Witch Family in the Quaternary. At that time, their members were rare and maintained by blood reproduction. Moreover, they would kill their children's fathers and abandon their baby boys, so all the members were women. Of course, this is Alger's statement. Whether it is true or false cannot be verified for the time being."

"2. The spiritual sects that believe in death and the Rose School that likes bloody sacrifices all originated in the Southern Continent. After the colonial era, they were hit hard by the Seven Gods Church and almost perished, but they also spread to the Northern Continent."

"Three, the Psychological Alchemy is currently similar to the early Morse Asceticism, and believes that human spirit can evolve everything."

"Fourth, the Secret Practice Society is the organization with the lowest frequency of activities among all secret organizations, so it is least understood by others. Every time they appear, they seem to be just chasing something and looking for something."

What are you chasing? What are you looking for? Klein suddenly thought of the diary I just read: Zarathu, the leader of the Secretariat, cooperated with Rossel, with the purpose of obtaining a relic of the Antigonus family.

And their appearance this time was to retrieve the lost notes, the notes of the Antigonus family... Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that he seemed to have grasped the core elements of the secret sect's actions:

They are chasing the items left over from the Antigonus family!

Klein restrained his urge to tap the table edge and had a lot of thoughts in his mind:

Well, are they searching for traces of the remnants of the Antigonus family?

To get the recipe for the "Joker" potion from the Secretariat, do you need to start from this?

After each exchanged information for a while, Klein announced that the party would end here.

"Follow your will." Audrey and Alger stood up at the same time.

Cut off the connection and watching their figures break and disappear, Klein rubbed his eyebrows and tried to imagine a "small trumpet" coming out.

As soon as he thought, he saw a figure appearing at the bottom of the bronze table. The figure was wearing a black tuxedo and a half-high silk top hat. His expression was dull and his movements were dull. Even if there was an illusory gray fog, it could be clearly seen that something was wrong with it.

No... Klein experimented many times, sighed, and gave up the idea of ​​creating a trumpet.

He tried something else, and he continued to sit on the grey fog, sitting on the main seat of the long bronze table, considering Audrey's previous words, and curiously turned his eyes to the illusory, crimson stars.

After a moment of silence, Klein began to contact those stars in response to the prayers rather than in making connections.

In a tranquility and silence, he did not get any information from the dozen nearby crimson stars.

Only by establishing a connection first and pulling people into the fog can you "respond"? Klein nodded thoughtfully and felt a little disappointed.

He did not want to go against other people's wishes and force the other party to this mysterious space.

Well... Klein began to prepare to leave, but inertia touched a nearby illusion star.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a faint and insignificant "prayer" in the crimson red!
