Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 343 A world where only vampires are hurt

After the Tarot Club, it was customary for Klein to read Roselle's diary:
But at this point, Klein has already taken it lightly.

Because Russell's diary serves to increase knowledge of the occult and broaden one's vision and insights into the extraordinary world.

In this regard, Klein could benefit greatly from the insights that Star occasionally revealed during his conversations with him, some of which could not even be recorded in Roselle's diary.

- At the same time, Klein could only recall his memories in this regard in the mysterious space above the gray fog. Otherwise, he might die inexplicably because of the secrets involving the true god level.

For example, "Goddess's True Body" and "Magic Wolf Family Bucket", "Three Companies' Separate 'Production'", and "The God of Steam and Machinery" that was rushed to market...

Anyway, Star told Klein so many secrets that ordinary people couldn't access.

So if someone really asked Klein how he knew this knowledge.

Klein could have answered this way:
"That's what Senior Star said."

This is called learning from Star.

At this time, seeing that no one else had any reaction, the "magician" Fors suddenly woke up and looked at the top of the bronze table and said:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I have received three pages of Roselle's diary."

"Okay." Klein said calmly.

Roselle's diary? Emlyn the Moon felt as if he had heard something extraordinary again.

Under his puzzled gaze, Fors materialized three pages of the diary and passed them to Mr. Fool.

It was not until this moment that Klein remembered that he had forgotten a certain vampire. He chuckled and introduced:
"This is the new member, Mr. Moon.

"This party is called the Tarot Club, and they are..."

Emlyn the Moon?

I thought he would never show up, but he was finally called here by his ancestor?
But this time, Klein's honorific name was not leaked... It seems that it was not leaked. Klein's bank check password was set to the three-part honorific name in Hermetic language...

Star pondered the logic behind this, and learned about Emlyn's general situation while paying polite greetings.

Similarly, Emlyn was also wondering whether members such as "Wheel of Fortune" and "Justice" were human or extraordinary creatures, what path they were in, what sequence they were at, which organization they belonged to, and whether they were friendly to the vampires.

Klein ignored their staring at each other and turned his gaze to the diary in his hand:
The first one is about Roselle knowing a secret of the Soran family and laughing at them with joy.

It turns out that the "Hunter" pathway mastered by the Sauron family will change gender at Sequence 4, men will not change, and women will become men! And no wonder there is no female in the high-sequence strongmen of the Sauron family that Russell knows. The "Hunter" pathway Sequence 4 "Iron-blooded Knight" is indeed a real iron-blooded man!
The first thought that flashed through Klein's mind upon seeing this diary entry was:

Emperor, you will not become a woman, but you have slept with a witch, maybe more than one...

Then, Clayton felt "boring":
After all, he had already shared this gossip from Star.

Even further, Star analyzed some of the mystical knowledge contained therein.

For example, "witch" and "hunter" are adjacent paths, representing different negative and positive aspects of the "disaster" field of "natural and man-made disasters". Naturally, they can be transformed in a specific sequence, so that the user of the potion can be closer to the power contained in the potion itself in this strange change.

Klein also thought about this at the time.

"Sure enough, there is a way for females to become males, and among the ones I predicted... 'Hunter' represents war, and will cause females to change their gender at Sequence 4... This is a bit wrong. The witch path is at the Sequence 7 'Witch' stage. There is no strict correspondence..."

The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt a sense of distortion and madness, which was caused by the extreme asymmetry. Could it be that the underlying logic of this world is chaos, distortion, madness, and asymmetry? He tried his best to control himself from frowning.

I don't know where Star got the special power he used.

As he was thinking, he saw that Emperor Roselle would not wait for revenge overnight, and after the artillery technology he designed and supervised was completed, he decided to hold a banquet and invite those guys who looked down on him to wait for a slap in the face.

This again reflects Russell's side of taking revenge.

Klein didn't find it strange at all when he saw this:
According to Star's comments about Russell during a casual chat, Russell is the kind of person who takes revenge when he has a grudge and complains when he has a grudge.

In some things, he acts like a "player" living in a game.

Naturally, even though he made many contributions, he also attracted a lot of criticism about some of the things he had done.

Of course, it was mainly aimed at the things he did after being contaminated in the later period...

Thinking of this, Klein became more curious:

In this world, who else can influence the late-stage Roselle? He should be at least an angel-level figure.

Could it be a higher god?
But there is no need for that... Is there some conspiracy theory about the "God of Steam and Machinery"? "Killing the donkey after it has done its job"?
But Star didn't even mention it. Even if Klein thought that the gods of this world wouldn't be so emotional, he had no way of guessing why this late-stage Roselle was contaminated.

I don't know what kind of grudges Roselle had with the "God of Steam and Machinery" who was a god in his later years? After all, judging from the relationship between Roselle and the "God of Steam and Machinery" who was a god, it was a relationship in which Roselle was given an exhibition after his death.

It is a relationship that can be called "the secular spokesperson of the Steam Church".

So inseparable, but why:
But in the end it ended up like this?
Klein couldn't figure it out, but that didn't stop him from turning the page and reading forward.

Star will always speak if he wants to.

He sighed and turned to the second page of his diary:
This article is about what Russell saw and heard when he was summoned by the unspeakable organization, the Twilight Hermits.

Inside, Roselle lamented that he was shocked by the way they gathered members, and received an answer from an old Hermes at the members' gathering - the Hermes who created the ancient Hermes language, the founder of human mysticism.

Hermes? He is an ancient powerful being... Klein's eyebrows twitched slightly.

With a solid foundation in mysticism, he knew exactly in which era the old man who created the ancient Hermetic language was active. "That was the Second Age when giants ruled the earth and dragons soared in the sky. In a sense, it appeared earlier in human history than the God of War and the Mother Goddess of the Earth. In other words, the little "Sun" before joining the Tarot Club didn't know the Seven Gods, but most likely heard of the name Hermes. Well, I'll find a chance to ask the 'World' to confirm it later. Of course, I can also ask Star, but I can't rely on him so much...

"That old man personally experienced the thorny road of human ancestors who tested drugs on themselves and sought extraordinary powers step by step. He used the giant language and dragon language as a blueprint, stood on the shoulders of pioneers, and invented a whole set of extraordinary languages ​​belonging to humans. He has most likely seen the first 'blasphemous slate'!
"He actually lived to the time of Emperor Roselle, and may even be alive today! He is a living fossil of human mysticism!" Klein sighed, realizing the horror of the "Twilight Hermit Order" from another perspective.

Even Hermes is a member of it!
However, other secret organizations, and even the Church of the Seven, often use the ancient Hermetic language when performing sacrifices and rituals!

The "Twilight Hermit Society" is really high-end, grand, and classy... Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Backlund Great Smog that was carefully planned by such an organization, and the Great Smog that was the trend of the times that they favored, was strangled in the cradle without causing much damage to Backlund.

From this perspective, Klein wanted to boast about his achievement of intercepting the "Witch of Despair", and finally couldn't help but look at Star:
It is very likely that the "Twilight Hermits" must have sent out many members in the heavy fog to ensure the progress of this matter (in fact, Will and Ouroboros did this to hinder others).

Even the leader behind the scenes is watching and ensuring that the big smog can proceed as scheduled.

And in the end, all of them were destroyed by Star? In this way, a disaster that could have caused six-digit casualties was eliminated.

This has to be said to be another miracle... no, a miracle... no, it is the kind of "destiny" that Star showed that should not be ignored.

It turns out that the fate set by the "Twilight Hermits" is not invincible.

Klein sighed.

He turned his attention back to the paper and continued reading the rest of the previous diary entry.

This is a question about the philosophy of the "Twilight Hermits" - whether they believe in the view that dusk is approaching that has been passed down to this day.

But there must be some among them who fanatically believe in those ideas, and simply want to wait for the original creator to awaken, and want the progress of history to advance to that point as expected - according to Russell's understanding, it is most likely not awakening, but resurrection.

Taking advantage of this, Roselle also believed that there were high-sequence strongmen of the "audience" path here, and high-sequence strongmen who had reached the angel level. He unknowingly planted a hidden psychological hint with the help of verbal promises, and had enough confidence to discover the hidden malice of the members.

After all, if the name of the organization was mentioned to the outside world without permission, it would be immediately detected. They even gave Roselle several examples of former members who had been purged... Even if it was written on paper, even in a newly invented language, it wouldn't work!

So Russell initially had a suspect, and that was the person who convened the party.

Although he didn't think anyone here had reached the level of a true god, otherwise there would be no need to hide behind the scenes, but Roselle believed that the "Twilight Hermits" might have a Sequence 0-level divine object, such as the "uniqueness" of a certain path. Perhaps it was this thing that created this real dream connecting the east and west coasts of the continent, and had the ability to react once its name was mentioned.

(In fact, this is true)
Of course, Roselle didn't think too much about it at the time. He was shocked and asked other questions, such as why the word "authority" appeared in the description of the gods. Old Mr. Hermes gave a wonderful answer.

Seeing this, Klein realized that this page of the diary had come to the end.

He quickly turned to the next page, but soon turned back because the next entry was not connected to the previous one. Where was the answer? Was it on the next page of the original diary, or was it too long to write, or was it not necessary to record it in the diary? Klein was so crazy that he wanted to travel back in time, grab Russell's neck, and make him tell him Hermes' answer!
Of course, there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, nor any unnecessary body language.

"It turns out that the Sequence 0 of the Audience pathway is called the Visionary. This corresponds very well to the Visionary Dragon. I thought it would be a Giant Dragon... The Visionary is closer to human cognition. In other words, taking the corresponding Sequence 0 potion will not necessarily turn you into a giant dragon...

"Sequence 1 'Writer'. Just by hearing the name of the potion, I feel that it has some similarities with the characteristics of the quill pen '0-08'...

"The way the 'Twilight Hermits' gather members is through a real dream that connects the east and west coasts of the continent? The description of the 'miracle' in the diary scared me. I thought they also had gray fog and the mysterious space above the gray fog..." Klein calmed down and found that this page of the diary provided a lot of useful information that was very important.

First of all, he knew that the ancient sage Hermes had lived at least until the Roselle period one or two hundred years ago, and was a member of that mysterious organization.

Secondly, based on Russell's unspeakable description of the organization's name, he basically confirmed that the mysterious organization was equal to the "Twilight Hermits".

Finally, he learned the names of Sequence 0, Sequence 1, and Sequence 2 of the "Audience" pathway. Although he would not be able to use them for the time being, it truly enriched his own accumulation of mysticism.

With this in mind, Klein opened the subsequent diary.

At this time, Klein wanted to laugh because of the content of the next page of the diary:

This is another of the "Hunting Diary" about Roselle that Star complained about.

Also known as: [Monthly Record].

They were all worthless, belonging to Roselle's record of life in the manor, and the whole content was about wanting to hunt, missing delicious food, and hoping to gain extraordinary powers and beautiful maids.

And some good things about his wonderful life... well, nice smelling good things...

Seeing this, Klein ended the diary reading session and allowed others to communicate freely.

As expected, everyone started discussing the unmet needs of Silver City.

The "world" controlled by Klein is no exception.

After all, it's just a meal, so it doesn't matter.

Only Star seemed to be a "bystander" who stayed out of the matter. After building such a framework, he let go and became an "outsider", highlighting his unrestrained attitude.

And of course, there's Emlyn.

It's just that he was forced to be "free and easy".

"Who can tell me where this Silver City is and what the purpose of this trade is?"

"And the Silver City's supply qualification..."

"What the hell are these?"

At this moment, Emlyn, who was excluded, suddenly felt like he didn't belong to this party.
