Mystery: I Married the Queen of MysteryCh. 197 / 49539.8%#197Chapter 197 Another "Serpent of Fate"
Seven Gods!
No, back then it was still Liushen!
Upon hearing the "Hermit's" answer, the other members immediately realized that it must have been the Six Gods who banished the "True Creator" back then!
"The Fool" Klein sighed: No wonder the information about the "King of Angels" is so valuable; it turns out that this information always involves some information about gods.
"Justice" Audrey also exclaimed: I never imagined that there was such a hidden history in the Fourth Age.
Odis did not elaborate further, because this would involve many key historical events of the Fourth Age, and explaining them clearly would take a long time.
He then continued, "Under the guidance of the 'Angel of Destiny,' a large number of believers loyal to the 'True Creator' evacuated from the Northern Continent to the 'Land Forsaken by God' by ship."
"This preserved the strength of the church that was loyal to the 'True Creator,' which later led to the emergence of the Aurora Society, a secret organization operating in the Northern Continent."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," opened his mouth: So that's how the Aurora Society came to be. No wonder the Church of the True God knows that the Aurora Society is an extremely evil organization and has been trying to eradicate it, but the organization has still managed to survive. It turns out that this organization has such a powerful foundation.
"The Magician" Fors remarked: "The history told by the 'Hermit' gives people a feeling that is both distant and real."
"The Sun" Derrick, however, was more concerned: "Mr. Hermit, how...how did they get to the 'Forsaken Land'? And where are they now?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that either," Odis said. "However, the methods they used are probably impossible for Silver City to imitate, because this 'Great Escape' was carried out under the leadership of an 'Angel King'."
"And there is a high possibility that there is also a 'real creator' providing assistance."
Derrick was somewhat disappointed. He understood what the "Hermit" meant: Silver City had no gods or "King of Angels," so there was no way to imitate them in leaving the "Forsaken Land."
"As for where they are now," Odis continued, "I think most of them have reached their destination and settled somewhere in the 'Forsaken Land'."
"Because even if the 'true creator' is an evil god, it still needs a certain number of believers to maintain stability."
"Of course, in such an environment, and with such a deity being worshipped, their lives must have been extremely brutal and bloody."
The other members held their breath, for they could imagine what the city of the "Forsaken Land" under the rule of an evil god would be like.
Without food, they had no choice but to hunt monsters to fill their stomachs, and under the influence of those monsters, they underwent certain mutations and eventually became monsters themselves.
Or they might feed on their own kind… no, on those "two-legged creatures"…
Even without being influenced by those monsters, constantly praying to the "true creator" will gradually drive one insane.
That must have been a city filled with madness, bloodshed, and slaughter...
At this moment, Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "I have heard that there is another angel of the 'monster' pathway somewhere in the Northern Continent."
He knew perfectly well that the angel was in Backlund, inside Dr. Allen's wife's womb.
"I've also heard of that angel," Odis said. "I've also heard that he was the leader of the 'School of Life,' and that he became an archangel in what seems to be the Fifth Age."
"The reason why He is not very well-known in the extraordinary world is not because He became an angel too late, but because He seems to have been hiding from the 'Angel of Fate'."
"The World" nodded. Klein had also made this guess before, but he did not expect that it was actually the leader of the secret organization "School of Life".
Alger then recalled some information he had seen from the church. The "School of Life" was indeed a secret organization that appeared only in the Fifth Age. He hadn't expected that their leader was an archangel of the "monster" path.
But then he realized it wasn't surprising, since most of the seven councilors in the organization were said to be demigods from this line of work.
This was the first time Audrey and Fors had heard of this secret organization, and they felt as if they had uncovered another secret of the extraordinary world.
Odis added, "That concludes all the details of this transaction."
Everyone has the feeling of having a really good book, but before you've had your fill of it, the ending comes, leaving you with a sense of loss.
Klein thought to himself: Fortunately, I brought "The Hermit" into the Tarot Club back then, which made it easier for me to learn about these hidden histories.
In the extraordinary world, such history can only be listened to as a story when it is not needed, but it can be life-saving when it is needed.
Just like the cycle that Little Sun encountered, if no one in the Tarot Club knew anything about the "Angel of Fate" Urolius, then they wouldn't know how long they would have to go through the cycle before they could break free from it when a certain opportunity arises.
After a few seconds of silence, "Justice" Audrey asked "The Sun," "Should I give you the gold pounds, or give them to Mr. Hermit, so you can use them to exchange for extraordinary weapons in the future?"
Derrick immediately said, "Give it to Mr. Hermit first."
"So after receiving Miss Justice's gold pounds, I will owe you 280 pounds." Odis smiled and said, "Oh, right, and last time… no, when I asked you to help me verify my research results, I also owe you an opportunity to join a transaction."
Derrick paused for a moment before saying, "But during the verification, we obtained a Saint-level sealed artifact."
"I also received a gift from Silver City," Odis said with a smile. "And you took a certain risk when you reported to your chief, so I have to show my appreciation."
"You can understand it this way: Silver City belongs to Silver City, and you belong to yourself."
During last week's transaction, Odis had forgotten about the matter, and therefore forgot to let "Little Sun" use this opportunity to pay off the debt.
For him, he could pretend not to know about favors owed for other reasons, but he absolutely had to repay favors for verifying his research results.
Only in this way will he feel that his research results are entirely his own and that they are not lacking in any way.
Seeing that Mr. Hermit had said this, Derrick did not insist any further: "Thank you, Mr. Hermit."
Then Fors said, "After the gathering, I will offer the first chapter of 'Spiritual Encounters' to Mr. Fool."
The "Fool" behind the gray fog thought to himself: Really, there's no need for sacrifices anymore. Even without using extraordinary abilities, I'm almost able to memorize it.
Alger the Hanged Man said, "I have limited information about the Aurora Society."
Before this, he thought he knew quite a bit about this secret organization, but after hearing the "Hermit" reveal the organization's origins, he dared not say so anymore.
"It is said that this organization has five saints," Alger continued. "I saw in some reports from the church that in the first half of the year, a saint led some devout believers out to sea to search for the sanctuary of the 'true creator,' but the church's forces lost track of them after pursuing them to the eastern part of the Sunia Sea."
Alger had previously noticed that the Storm Church was very proactive in cracking down on Aurora Society members who went to sea. As soon as they received relevant information, they would almost immediately mobilize several times their strength to capture them.
The ocean was the domain of the "Church of Storms," so most of the Aurora Society believers who went to "find the sanctuary" died at sea.
"They also have twenty-two divine messengers," Alger continued, "all of whom are code names with letters, such as Mr. Z."
"These divine messengers are at least Sequence 7 with special abilities, and the strongest are several Sequence 5."
"However, the person who went out to sea to find the sanctuary of the 'true creator' was not a divine messenger, but a group of extremely fanatical believers."
"According to some intelligence I have obtained, their main members are three extraordinary individuals, namely a Sequence 7, a Sequence 8, and a Sequence 9."
"Jack's father is the Sequence 8 'Listener'."
Derrick nodded: "Thank you for the information."
Since the little boy Jack reached the temple, it's highly likely that the three extraordinary beings also survived and are probably somewhere in the temple.
Finally, it was "The World's" turn. Klein pondered for a moment before manipulating "The World" and said, "I accidentally obtained some very advanced information: the fall of the 'Ancient Sun God' triggered the 'Great Cataclysm'."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Was the "Great Cataclysm" caused by the fall of a god?
The other members immediately realized that this was indeed a very high-level intelligence report, so they turned their attention to "the world".
Derrick immediately asked, "Mr. World, how...how did He fall?"
"I don't know." "The World" shrugged. "I only know some fragmented information. I don't know why He fell, nor do I know why He or I had such a big impact on the world."
He saw Russell's conjecture in Russell's diary, and Klein believed that this conjecture was very close to the truth.
Klein was being so generous because he wanted to see if the "Hermit" knew anything about this kind of information.
Odis thought to himself: "The reason for the fall of the ancient sun god is of the highest value. There is also some amazing information in the process of his fall, but the consequences of his fall are some insignificant information."
So he said, "'Ancient Sun God' is also 'Creator,' and his fall is equivalent to the reshaping of the underlying order in many regions."
Everyone then looked at the "hermit," but the other party only gave a simple explanation.
But this did not prevent people from making the corresponding associations. Alger first noticed the word "hermit" and the phrase "reshaping of the underlying order".
He seemed to see the scene of the "Creator" creating the world. At first, there was a blank space, then there were mountains, blue sky, trees and animals, and finally humankind.
Later, this "creator" perished one day, and a part of the world He created collapsed.
At this point, Alger astutely noticed a problem: if the "Ancient Sun God" was the "Creator," then He appeared at the very beginning of the First Age? But why did legends about Him only circulate in the Third Age? And the Second Age seemed to be an era dominated by ancient gods.
He then thought: "The Hermit also said that the 'Ancient Sun God' appeared in the latter half of the Second Age. So what was the world like before that? Or was there originally a world, but the 'Ancient Sun God' reshaped it in the early Third Age?"
Alger nodded slowly: That's possible, because it was just a reshaping, so when He fell, only a part of the world collapsed.
Audrey and Fors were shocked by the impact of the god's fall on the entire world.
"The Sun" Derrick gave a wry smile: So Silver City lost its sun and became a city existing in darkness!
Klein, hidden behind the gray fog, suppressed the urge to twitch his lips: "Hermit, are you a 'diviner'? Why do you only say half the story? Aren't you going to explain why the 'Ancient Sun God' fell?"
At this moment, Derrick seemed to come to his senses and said, "'World's' Mr., thank you for providing such high-level intelligence."
His gratitude effectively sealed the deal.
The unreadable "world" waved its hand, indicating that it was nothing.
Klein had originally wanted to see if the "Hermit" would reveal any information about the fall of the "Ancient Sun God," but while he did hear some information, it only made everyone more curious about the "Great Cataclysm."
After a second or two, Odis spoke first: "I need the complete crystal of the Tree of Alaman, and I also need the eyes of the Spirit Bird."
These are the two main materials of the "Scroll Professor," which Odis plans to purchase first at the Tarot Club.
Everyone immediately realized that the "Hermit" was preparing for promotion to Sequence 6.
Odis's advancement to Sequence 7 remained undiscovered by everyone; only Klein knew he was already Sequence 7. However, even Klein was surprised that the "Hermit" had obtained the Sequence 6 formula so quickly.
Among the other members, Alger the Hanged Man felt somewhat anxious, because when The Hermit joined the Tarot Club, he was already Sequence 7, and he still is Sequence 7 now.
This made him feel somewhat unbalanced.
Audrey and the others didn't think much of it. After all, in their eyes, "The Hermit" was a very capable member, and his rapid promotion didn't seem too surprising.
"I will keep an eye out for you," Audrey said first.
Others also expressed their willingness to keep an eye out for "The Hermit," since this is a primary material of Sequence 6, which is not something that is commonly traded at ordinary gatherings. Only by inquiring and keeping an eye out for a period of time can one possibly trade such a material.
Then Fors turned to Miss Justice: "I have received a reply. My teacher has a pair of 'Mirror Dragon Eyes' for £1,000."
At this point, Fors was a little uneasy, because Dorian's bottom line was 800 pounds, while the main materials for Sequence 7 were basically 500 to 600 pounds. Dorian's offer already had a premium, and she added another 200 pounds on top of that!
This made her sigh: Although I still have some savings, there are still many expenses to come in Sequence 7 and Sequence 6. Just as Emperor Roselle said, money isn't everything, but without money, you can't do anything…
