Can certain paths be substituted for each other after sequence 5? This is quite different from what the Night Watchers say internally!
Isn't it the case that once a path is chosen, it can't be changed anymore? Isn't it said that taking a wrong path might grant strange and odd abilities, but it will definitely drive one insane and prevent further advancement?
There are actually certain exceptions here!
Klein looked at the diary, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He didn't doubt that Emperor Rosel would fabricate something in this matter, after all, the surprise in those words was so genuine. But he didn't think that the information Rosel obtained was absolutely correct. The other party could also be deceived and misunderstood.
This matter needs verification... Record it first... Klein reminded himself in his mind and delved deeper into this matter:
If Rosel's description is correct, then the water in the sequence paths is deep... There are many secrets hidden within...
The complete path mastered by the Night Watchers is "The Unsleeping One", and the relatively complete one is "The Collector of Corpses", which can reach sequence 4 at least. However, they can be substituted for each other after sequence 5... The magic formulas for other chains are very incomplete, and even only the initial ones...
Similarly, the complete path of the God of Steam and Machinery is "The Generalist", and the relatively complete one is "The Secret Seeker", they can also replace each other at higher levels...
Interesting... I wonder if my "Divinationist" sequence can be substituted for any of these paths? The "Apprentice" and "Thief" mentioned by the Emperor at the time?
Well, the "Divinationist" path is very likely to provide one ability each from the first five sequences, and when they merge in sequence 4, then at this step, it should be impossible to replace with any other magic formula... Klein shook his thoughts, and refocused his attention on the diary.
At this moment, he noticed that the two pages of the diary seemed to be connected, but the actual content was not coherent. They belonged to records from two different periods, which was an error made by later copyists.
"April 9th, the Eternal Sun Church, the Storm Lord Church, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church, had a bad relationship with each other, they were hostile to each other, and the Night Goddess Church and the War God Church of the Fusk Empire were incompatible. These are things that can be utilized and are worth thinking about."
"April 13th, I attended the gathering of that ancient organization. I never expected that they were also members of this organization. It was truly terrifying."
"I see, this second blasphemous stone slab is in the hands of this organization. I saw this legendary divine object for the first time!"
"Surely, it hides unimaginable secrets. Hehe, perhaps one day in the future, I will obtain a single blasphemous stone slab, no, a set of them, each one should contain an ultimate secret!"
Damn it, Emperor, what is the name of that ancient organization you mentioned! You're making me feel bad like this! Maybe, maybe, Rosel wrote down the name of that organization out of some purpose, no, or he didn't dare, even if he was using Chinese... Klein felt both curious and puzzled.
However, from this diary, he finally confirmed that Emperor Rosel had seen the second blasphemous stone slab and later made a copy of it to create a deck of cards, each one corresponding to a card of the divine path.
Well, perhaps it corresponds to the ultimate secret of the divine path... I wonder who is holding these twenty-two cards now... That ancient organization actually holds the second blasphemous stone slab... Klein's thoughts raced, thinking of many things.
But he quickly suppressed all these thoughts and looked away from the diary, looking at "The Hangman", "Justice" and "The Sun", smiling and saying:
"Actually, you don't have to wait for me."
"This is our honor." "The Hangman" Algier had already suppressed his dissatisfaction and responded humbly.
Audrey thought for a moment and smiled lightly:
"Mr. Fool, the method you described for selecting officials through public examinations has been approved by the King and the Prime Minister. It will be passed in the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and is expected to enter the formal implementation stage by the beginning of next year."
"It seems that the King and the Prime Minister still have some brains, don't they?" Alge habitually sneered.
Well, by the beginning of next year, with Benson's intelligence and his diligence and hard work, he should be able to reach the passing grade in both grammar and accounting... However, as long as it is passed by both the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the various newspapers will surely publicize it extensively. I wonder how long Benson's initial advantage will last... The sooner the test, the better...
Ah, in such a short time, no matter how hard Benson tries, he will never be able to surpass the elites who graduated from various universities. But it doesn't need to be that much of a victory. The positions they are competing for are definitely not the same. Those guys probably only focus on positions like Cabinet Secretary and Finance Secretary... The "Fool" Klein, who just smiled and nodded without saying a word, was deeply worried for his brother in his heart.
Seeing the "Hangman" nodding in approval, Audrey straightened her back even more and smiled:
"Mr. Hangman, the matter you asked me to confirm, I have received the answer. The King has been persuaded by the Prime Minister and will not retaliate against the Fussak Empire on the Barents Coast in the short term. I think you should pay the additional compensation you promised earlier."
Alge seemed to think for a few seconds before saying:
"Miss Justice, thank you for your answer. This allows me to no longer worry about certain matters. What additional compensation do you hope for? As long as it is within a reasonable range, I will consider it."
Audrey smiled as if she was well-prepared:
"The clue of the Psychological Alchemy Society, or the clue of the main material of the 'Mind Reader' potion, of course, this can be done after 'The Sun' gives me the formula."
"No problem." Alge replied without any hesitation.
On the same side as "The Hangman", but two positions away, "The Sun" Deric Berg was listening in confusion and bewilderment. He felt that he could understand almost every word, but when put together, he didn't know what it meant.
What about the public examination method for selecting officials, the King and the Prime Minister, the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the Barents Coast, the Fussak Empire, the Psychological Alchemy Society, he didn't understand a thing.
Fussak, the root word is a variant of giant, and what does it have to do with the fallen king's court? Deric looked at "Justice" and then at "The Hangman", suddenly he felt that he might not be in the same world as the two.
Could there be more than one city-state in some place in the cursed land, even forming a kingdom? Deric remained silent, listening quietly, and vaguely understood why the mysterious Fool said that the so-called cash compensation given by "Justice" might not be received by him.
Being able to bring together people who are so far apart, ignoring the terrifying monsters in the dark depths of the cursed land, the Fool might really be a deity, an ancient deity... He thought to himself.
After completing all the expected tasks, Audrey originally intended to be a quiet spectator, but suddenly thought of another thing and hurriedly said:
"I have recently come into contact with some extraordinary people's circles and learned about a strong man called Mr. A. Mr. Fool, Mr. Hangman, Mr. Sun, do you know his background and true identity?"
I have no idea what you are talking about... Deric remained silent.
Mr. A? I only know Mr. Z... Such similar code names, could it also be the Aurora Society? Klein was making a guess in his heart, but didn't answer.
He must maintain his image and try not to give answers that are not very confident. If he really faced such a situation, the description should also be vague, like a charlatan.
Alge looked at the Fool and saw that he was calm and unchanged, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts, so he deliberated before speaking:
"The Aurora Society will always target the Storm Lord Church, the Eternal Sun Church, and the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Therefore, compared to other organizations, these three churches are better acquainted with the Aurora Society, and I learned some information from them."
There's no need to explain. I know you're from the Storm faction. Of course, it could also be the 25th Brother... But why does the hatred of the Aurora Society specifically target the three oldest churches? Klein smiled without saying anything, calmly looking at "The Hangman".
Alger knew that his sequence path would surely not be concealed from the Fool, and he didn't care too much and continued to say:
"The Aurora Society has five saints and twenty-two divine servants. These divine servants are identified by letters and call themselves Mr. A, Mr. X... They are at least extraordinary individuals of sequence 7, and the strongest have sequence 5. They are all quite good at hiding themselves... Losing one divine servant will be replaced by a new one."
"I'm not sure if the Mr. A you mentioned is the Mr. A of the Aurora Society. I can only say that there is a high possibility. As for the situation of the Aurora Society, I have already told you before."
Audrey nodded slightly and was more cautious towards Mr. A.
She said with a little sympathy:
"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Hangman. You don't need to pay that extra reward."
"No, I hope to use the answer I just gave and more extra rewards to ask you to do a favor for me." Alger said in a deep voice.
"What favor?" Audrey asked in confusion.
Alger thought for a few seconds and said:
"I received intelligence that the notorious pirate Zilinger, who calls himself 'Admiral of the Hurricane', secretly landed and infiltrated Beckland. I don't know what he wants to do. I hope you can help me find his whereabouts. As for the subsequent matters, you don't need to take the risk."
"Zilinger, Admiral of the Hurricane? One of the seven pirate generals?"Audrey's eyes widened slightly, almost losing her composure in front of the audience.
What was the thing she most wanted to do after becoming an extraordinary person? Of course, it was to come into contact with those characters that had only existed in noble legends before!
"Right, he is also a sequence 6 extraordinary person of the 'Sailor' path, 'Wind Guardian', and he possesses a magical item, which can also be called a sealing item. He is quite cunning and cruel. Don't try to deal with him," Alger introduced solemnly.
At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Klein:
"Mr. Fool, may I ask for your guardian to provide assistance at critical moments? I will offer the price you are interested in."
My guardian is only me... Klein eased his emotions in a teasing way and smiled slightly:
"The condition is that my guardian happens to be in Berkland."
"All right." Alger withdrew his gaze somewhat disappointed and somewhat expectantly.
