It was only after I listened to your description that I understood what happened... "The Fool" Klein has been a little confused from just now to now.
He maintained his original posture and nodded slightly in response.
Seeing Mister "The Fool" as if he was a deep ancient well without waves, Derrick "The Sun" felt a lot more relieved and felt that the matter could finally be solved.
He turned to look at the other members and asked sincerely:
"Do you know the source of the problem? How to solve it?"
The enthusiastic "Justice" Audrey instinctively wanted to answer, but found that she had no clue and couldn't even guess.
"Magician" Forsi was in a similar state to her.
After listening to "The Sun"'s description, "The Hanged Man" Alger looked at the "Emperor" who seemed to want to answer, and answered first:
"I can only think of two possibilities. One is that you have encountered nightmare or hallucination abilities that exceed the demigod level. After you retrieve your memory with the help of Mr. Fool, you should be able to detect it as soon as you return to the real world.
If something goes wrong, the problem will be easily solved.cascoot
"The second is that you were forced or actively entered a strange space or state at a certain node, where time maintains a certain degree of flow, but is fixed within a certain range, repeating the cycle, and continuing in balance.
That is, relatively still.
"In this case, there are not many ways to end the cycle. Either there is an external force that forcibly breaks the balance, or we find a key point that connects the time distortion."
Rawls didn't feel anything about being upstaged. He just wanted to add some credibility to his identity.
Because of the internal turmoil of the School of Life, it was attacked by three parties. The "Angel of Destiny" Ourolius was hunting down Will Auceptin, the Rose School was hunting down the middle and high-level executives, and Lu En was trying to bring down the two secret organizations.
Including this, the specific implementation relies on the governors of the Central Sunian Sea and the Church of Storms. George Negan is the most cooperative among the governors.
Rawls had also mentioned the School of Life because of the "Rod of Justice" before, and he said solemnly:
"I said before that there was civil strife in the School of Life, and their long-missing speaker has similar abilities. He is the Sequence 1 'Mercury Snake' of the 'Monster' pathway, also known as the 'Snake of Destiny'
."
Him? Sequence 1, "Snake of Mercury"?
Audrey and Forsi exclaimed at the same time, an angel?
"The Hanged Man" Alger didn't have any special reaction. For a secret organization that has not been wiped out for thousands of years, the existence of angels is not too unusual. Compared with this, those organizations that believe in evil gods and evil gods actually exist.
More dangerous.
The speaker mentioned by the "Emperor" should be Will Asceptin. He encountered the threat of another "Snake of Mercury" and chose to "restart". After that, the Life School was attacked by the Rose School due to the disappearance of its leader.
Attack, the Loen military and the church probably will not give up this opportunity...
Recalling the "Emperor's" previous description, Klein could easily deduce the general story of the whole thing. If this is the case, then the one that caused "Sun" and the others to cycle should be the one that did not pursue Will Asceptin.
"Snake of Mercury"?
No, there is no need for an angel to do this. It may just be some kind of influence left by the previous one.
Derrick was also a little flustered and frightened. He turned to look at the top of the long bronze table and found that Mr. Fool was still so calm. He breathed a sigh of relief. With Mr. Fool here, even angels don’t have to be afraid.
.So he asked Rawls, who knew the relevant information, for help:
"Mr. Emperor, do you have a way to break the cycle?"
Following his question, Rawls, who was under intense gaze, shook his head:
"I don't have that ability, but there is no need for an angel to deal with you. It is very likely that it is just something or some kind of influence left by him, combined with the temple environment of the 'Fallen Creator', to create an accidental cycle.
'.
Judging from your description, it is obviously related to the boy named Jack. If you kill him, you will enter the cycle again. My suggestion is to talk to him. However, this does not mean that my suggestion will definitely be effective. Maybe
You can describe your exploration experience in detail and see if there are any abnormalities that you haven't noticed."
"Okay, let's..."
Derrick was about to start describing his exploration experience obediently, but Alger, the "Hanged Man" on the side, interrupted his description:
"That Jack you mentioned, I should have seen him."
"What?"
"Mr. Hanged Man, have you seen the boy named Jack?"
Derrick was very excited. He had always thought that his world and the worlds of other members could not be connected, but now Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s words gave him a glimmer of hope. If this is true, then Silver City is
What a chance to leave that place forever shrouded in darkness, to see the real sun, without suffering the curse of killing your loved ones with your own hands!
"It's just possible that your description reminds me of an Aurora Society 'listener' I once hunted. His goal when he went to sea was to find the sanctuary of the 'True Creator'. His child also followed him, also called
Be Jack."
Alger unconsciously touched his chest. He was injured by the "Listener" who suddenly used the ability that only "Bishop Rose" had. The "Ghost Avenger" was also blown up.
Big Hole. It was precisely because of their fight that he remembered the people on the opposite boat and the kid named Jack.
"You can find an opportunity to mention Sunya Sea, the Kingdom of Loen, etc. in front of that little boy Jack. You may have different reactions, but remember to avoid your chief. There are also things like Mr. 'Emperor' said
That said, we should also consider other possibilities, such as telling the detailed content of the mural."
Compared with before, Derrick "The Sun" is obviously much smarter and does not clumsily rely on verbal descriptions.
After obtaining the consent of Mr. Fool, he embodied a picture that he could recall, showing the process of exploration and what he considered to be the key points in "The Hanged Man", "Justice", and "The Hanged Man" intermittently.
The "magician" and the "world" are in front of you, and then supplemented by certain explanations.
The city wall collapsed in the darkness, the streets passed between the destroyed buildings, the dusty white and blue under the light of the animal skin lanterns, the ancient temple supported by stone pillars, the statue of the god hanging upside down on the dark cross
, a series of murals depicting the "Fallen Creator" bearing the responsibility for sins on behalf of mankind, the extremely alluring and beautiful "mushrooms", the altar with the eyes of the god opening strangely, and the yellow-haired little boy Jack hiding behind, and other scenes are taking shape one by one.
The most direct and authentic way caught the eyes of all members of the Tarot Club.
Rawls also watched with interest, but deliberately showed surprise at certain points, which made both Audrey and Klein aware of it.
What does Mr. "Emperor" know? Or has he discovered something unusual?
"The Hanged Man" Alger read it quietly, thought about it carefully, and let "The Sun" present the key points he picked out again on top of the long bronze table, including the "Fallen Creator" fighting against the six "evil gods"
"Mural.
"What kind of evil gods are these?" Alger looked at the octopus-headed monster wrapped in lightning, walking on black waves, wearing a bird feather cloak on his back, and holding a trident halberd, and he had some inexplicable associations in his mind.
Derrick "The Sun" shook his head honestly:
"I don't know, I thought you would know each other."
"Justice" Audrey did not observe and guess like "Magician" Forsi, but turned her attention to the "Emperor". She remembered clearly that it was here that Mr. "Emperor" showed something strange.
"This is the statue of the Six Gods!"
Rawls' voice was very soft, but Alger and others' reactions were very loud.
"What?"
"How can it be?"
Compared with Audrey and Forsi's disbelief, Alger and "The World" were shocked and compared the portraits of these six evil gods with the six gods, only to find that although the former were depraved and dark, they could indeed
Corresponds to the description of the six gods.
Especially Klein, who controls the "world", he was surprised to find that it was very close to the statues of the six gods he saw when exploring the ruins of Tudor, except that one was the normal version and the other was the corrupted dark version, but these were all attacks on the gods.
Blasphemy!
He remembered that when he discovered the statue of the "Original Witch", he asked the captain, and the captain's answer was that one of the differences between the true god and the evil god was that the former was only replaced by symbols, while the latter had a human-like appearance.
If I had identified it first, I could have said inscrutably, as the "Fool," "Night, Sun, Storm, Wisdom, Earth, Giant," without any explanation or redundant description.
Unfortunately, I can only let "The World" speak now... Sighing in his heart, Klein controlled "The World" and spoke hoarsely:
"I've seen similar statues."
After attracting everyone's attention, he paused and added:
"On an adventure to explore the ruins of the Quaternary Age."
"Justice" Audrey is very interested in this, but maintains a basic reserve on the surface:
"Mr. World, what kind of statue is that? Can you show it to us? Of course, if you are unwilling or need payment, we can discuss it again."
"No need, because this can also clear up some doubts for me." "The World" said with a gloomy smile.
He pretended to make a request to Mr. "The Fool", and after receiving permission, he revealed the statues of the six gods and the corresponding holy emblems he saw one by one.
Rawls also quietly looked at the statue of the Night Goddess. Compared to the goddess he remembered seeing in the "Deep Dark Heaven", this statue seemed to be more human in shape.
The woman with her pillow on the full moon and her layered but uncomplicated skirt looks hazy, but gives people an unusually beautiful feeling. On her long black skirt, there are also dots of stars, like the sky in the middle of the night.
Is this a change from a human image to a symbolic one?
It was common knowledge in the Fifth Age, or at least before the Pale Catastrophe, that true gods only had symbols and no human-like images, but it was most likely the former.
Rawls speculates that the reason for this change is firstly because the seven true gods achieved final victory and occupied a large number of beliefs, so that the people would not be used as "anchors" to change themselves based on their imaginations.
In the third era, the ancient sun god and his angels blurred their appearance and only promoted their own authority; and in the fourth era, the "Black Emperor" was the emperor of a country, and order and rules were his anchors. Likewise,
The same is true for the "Night Emperor". The "Blood Emperor" and the "True Creator" are both half crazy, so it is the turn of the Seven Gods to make this change.
The second reason is that the Seven Gods moved their kingdom to the star realm to make up for the "barrier", so that it would be difficult for them to focus on the material world. In order to prevent powerful angel families like Augustus from secretly
Change the image of the Seven Gods among the people, thereby affecting their status, turning the human image into a symbol.
Blasphemy! This is blasphemy against the goddess! Audrey was a little angry when she saw the image of the goddess of the night, but she quickly calmed down.
As the most famous evil god, it is to be expected that the "True Creator" would allow his followers to vilify the goddess... But why is there a human statue of the goddess in the underground ruins... Doesn't it mean that the true god only has symbols? Audrey frowned slightly.
, fell into deep thought.
"The Hanged Man" Alger was a little stunned and said with a sigh:
"It turns out that there are distorted images of the six gods on the mural.
"They once really had human form..."
"In fact, in the Fourth Age, this is common sense." Rawls raised his chin, quite proudly.
"The Sun" was stunned for a moment, then realized:
"Is this the goddess of the night, the Lord of Storms and other gods you mentioned?"
Alger, Audrey and others ignored Derrick's question, and they repeated a word together:
"common sense?"
Rawls nodded towards Derrick the Sun:
"Yes, before the fifth era, the gods had not entered the star realm. Their kingdom was on the earth, so they naturally had human-like images."
Augustus was a great aristocrat of the Fourth Age, and the "Emperor" was a member of the Augustus clan. Knowing this history would not arouse any suspicion.
In fact, for Rawls, the biggest difficulty with his identity is what he should know and what he should not know. Although he knows a lot of secret knowledge, for the sake of the identity he forged,
You can't say everything.
In this regard, his main reference was Jamil Lovelace. As the son of a demigod, and living in the Kingdom of Maxi, which valued knowledge, he had a lot of knowledge in his mind, but it would never involve those who would be affected by it even if he understood it.
Influenced knowledge.
For example, the "Twilight Hermits", Rawls can know that this organization exists, but he will never know the name of this organization, and he should not even know slightly detailed information.
"How can this be!"
Audrey couldn't remember how many times she said this today, but she really couldn't believe that a thousand years ago, the goddess' kingdom was actually on the earth.
"Then why do gods go to the star realm?"
Rather than being shocked, Alger wanted to obtain the secrets of the gods.
“Is this related to the earth we are on being abandoned by the Lord?” Derrick “The Sun” also subconsciously connected the two things together.
"Do you think I can understand this kind of knowledge or secret?" Rawls shrugged. This kind of knowledge is not what an ordinary Augustus should know.
"Magician" Forsi raised his hand in confusion:
"Why is there no God of Steam and Machinery?"
This is the god she believes in.
"It is rumored that the God of Steam and Machinery, the original God of Craftsmen, was not born until the Fourth Age. It seems to be true, and the point of his birth seems to be in the middle and late Fourth Age, not the early and middle years...
"The Hanged Man" said, half explaining and half guessing.
Alger had an undisguised enthusiasm for similar topics. As he talked, he observed Mr. "Emperor"'s reaction, wanting to know the secrets of the Fourth Age.
