After hesitating for a few seconds, The Fool Klein still couldn't bring himself to spend the 300 pounds: "Let's talk about it later."
"Hermit" Odis nodded: "Okay."
He paused and added: "That's the information about Wind Angel. Now let's talk about White Angel."
"As you may have guessed, White Angel is the current Eternal Blazing Sun."
"And it shouldn't be hard for everyone to guess that He became a god by obtaining the Beyonder characteristic left behind by the Ancient Sun God."
The Justice and other members weren't surprised, as they had more or less guessed this before; now it was just confirmation of their suspicions.
The only one surprised was Moon Emlyn: "Another god?"
He had just recovered from the shock of the Lord of Storms and now heard information about another god.
Emlyn then asked: "The three King of Angelss traded today, aren't they three of the current Six Gods?"
Odis smiled and said: "This is your third question, but I must remind you that you will get the answer to this question in a moment, so there's no need to spend another 300 pounds to trade for it."
Upon hearing "300 pounds," Emlyn felt as if he had been immediately awakened by money: "Oh, yes, yes... Thank you for the reminder."
He sighed: What a considerate Mr. Hermit.
At this moment, he no longer thought of Mr. Hermit as a debate opponent, because he now understood that the amount of information he and the other party possessed was not on the same level at all.
Odis continued: "Like most King of Angelss, Eternal Blazing Sun had no presence in the Second Epoch and Third Epoch, and only had noteworthy actions in the Fourth Epoch."
"Initially, He and the other five gods did not support the Solomon Empire that unified the North Continent."
"However, Eternal Blazing Sun also had some conflicts with other gods. In the early Fourth Epoch, wars among gods never ceased."
"Until the Six Gods felt the threat from Black Emperor Solomon and the True Creator..."
Upon hearing this, The Hanged Man Alger couldn't help but ask: "Were Black Emperor and True Creator once allies?"
"It's not just a simple alliance," Odis replied. "At that time, the True Creator Church was the state religion of the Solomon Empire! Equivalent to the current Church of the Night Goddess and Storm Church in Loen."
This answer far exceeded Alger's expectations, but he quickly calmed down: The history of the Fourth Epoch seems to have a lot hidden in the long river of history!
The Fool Klein behind the gray fog sighed inwardly: No wonder the Solomon Empire was destroyed. Even if Solomon was also a god, it was two against six, with no chance of winning.
He had this thought because he had little concept of the powerhouses in the early Fourth Epoch.
Emlyn's heart was practically screaming: What? True Creator, this evil god, even had a church? And it was a state religion? What... What information am I trading for? Isn't it about some King of Angels? Why do gods keep appearing?
Audrey, at this moment, was already considering trading information about the Fourth Epoch with Mr. Hermit if she had the chance, as Mr. Hermit had said that he knew a lot about the history of that time.
"Magician" Fors's mood had gradually calmed down by this point, no longer as agitated as when the transaction first began, as she had gradually gotten used to it.
The Sun Derrick asked when he heard this: "Mr. Hermit, then how did True Creator come to the Forsaken Land of the Gods later?"
Emlyn was somewhat incredulous: "God... Forsaken Land of the Gods..."
Odis, however, raised a hand, signaling Emlyn to listen first and not ask: "I'm about to get to that. Facing the threat of the True Creator, Eternal Blazing Sun and the other five gods formed an alliance."
"This was the earliest 'Six Gods Alliance.' They together defeated the True Creator."
Derrick nodded in understanding: It seems that True Creator was driven to the Forsaken Land of the Gods at this time.
Odis continued: "After that, Eternal Blazing Sun supported the Trente-Sost Empire, and after the Night Emperor's fall, He then supported the Sauron Family in establishing a nation, which was the former Intis Kingdom."
"During the Pale Era, Intis was one of the main battlefields, but the 'Six Gods Alliance' that Eternal Blazing Sun was part of ultimately achieved victory."
"After the baptism of the Pale Era, Eternal Blazing Sun also became a legitimate god and has been preaching in Intis ever since."
Audrey quickly digested the information and evaluated it in her mind: This god's experience always gives one a sense of being ordinary, seeming to have not played much of a role, yet being indispensable.
Like Klein, she had such thoughts only because she knew too little about the true history of the Fourth Epoch.
And Klein, at the head of the bronze long table, had already noticed: Mr. Hermit spoke too generally, without explaining which gods Eternal Blazing Sun had conflicts with, and why they finally put aside their differences to form the "Six Gods Alliance."
He realized that these questions were the key parts of the Fourth Epoch's history, but they were clearly not part of this transaction.
After all, in this transaction, the information on each King of Angels was only worth 800 pounds. Just knowing about the alliance between Black Emperor and True Creator, and Eternal Blazing Sun's attitude in the Four Emperors War, already far exceeded this price.
"Lastly, it's Wisdom Angel." Odis saw that everyone had no questions about White Angel, so he continued: "Regarding the origin of this Angel, I have relatively accurate information."
"As you may have guessed, this is the current God of Knowledge and Wisdom..."
Emlyn's previous question was answered, and he was no longer as shocked as the previous two times, because he felt he had already used up a whole year's worth of surprises here...
However, he soon realized why the other members weren't surprised? Why did they never show any surprise?"
Combined with Mr. Hermit's two previous instances of "As you may have guessed," this made him realize that he must not have understood some key information.
And the other members understood more, which is why they weren't surprised.
"He is a giant dragon," Odis said, seeing the other members visibly show surprised expressions, and he raised the corner of his mouth: "He was once a subordinate god of the Dragon of Imagination."
Klein, behind the gray fog, never expected: He is actually a dragon! And was once a subordinate god of an ancient god!
Then he suddenly smiled with relief: If the Lord of Storms could be a sea monster, it seems not so unacceptable for other gods to be other creatures.
After a brief surprise, Alger pondered: First a subordinate god, then an King of Angels, and then directly a god. This is a god with a clear trajectory.
Since the beginning, Emlyn had been telling himself not to appear as if he had never seen The World, so as not to cause other members to question the Blood Race's accumulation of knowledge.
However, this information still made him pause for two or three seconds before reacting. The Blood Race had always been proud of their race's ancientness and heritage.
The reason for their pride was largely because most of the races that existed during the same period as them had basically died out.
Only the Blood Race had flourished in the Fourth Epoch, and their population is still considerable now.
But today he learned that a giant dragon had survived and even become a god, which seemed even more glorious than the Blood Race.
Little Sun immediately sat up straight and listened intently when he heard that he was a subordinate god of the Dragon of Imagination.
At the same time, he suddenly recalled: No wonder when I first heard the name "Wisdom Angel Herabgen," it sounded a little familiar. It must have been in a book about dragons that I had read.
As an "Audience," Audrey quickly calmed down. She asked: "Mr. Hermit, I remember having received some information earlier that the Dragon of Imagination seemed to be an ancient god of the 'Audience' pathway."
"I heard that the Beyonders of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church are Beyonders of the 'Reader' pathway. Does the Dragon of Imagination have subordinate gods of other pathways?"
"You have this question because you don't know much about dragons," Odis explained. "Dragons were once a very powerful race, and they mastered various pathways."
Every single word is perfect and flows naturally!
"However, among them, high-sequence dragons should basically be of the 'Audience' and 'Reader' pathways, with at most some dragons of the 'Bard' pathway."
"I once speculated whether White Angel might also be a dragon, but there was never any evidence to support this, and I ultimately rejected the speculation that He was a dragon."
Klein, at the head of the bronze long table, noticed the three pathways Mr. Hermit mentioned: "Audience," "Reader," and "Bard." Are they adjacent pathways? Shouldn't the "Sailor" pathway be adjacent to "Reader" and "Bard"? After all, the Storm Church, Eternal Blazing Sun Church, and Church of Knowledge currently regard each other as mortal enemies. Could there be four adjacent pathways?
He immediately thought: It's not impossible. The Ancient Sun God was a god of the "Sun" pathway, which is also the "Bard" pathway. It was precisely because the pathways mastered by the Dragon of Imagination and the Elf King were adjacent to the "Sun" pathway that He actively "reclaimed" the authorities of these two ancient gods.
Klein remembered that the ancient myths provided by Little Sun stated that the Ancient Sun God had actively reclaimed the authorities of the Dragon of Imagination and the Elf King, which matched up.
The other members lacked Klein's extensive knowledge, so their associations with dragons were limited.
Only Moon Emlyn felt a little unconvinced: The Blood Race is also a very powerful race!
Odis continued: "In addition, there are also some dragons proficient in fire and ice attacks. The legendary images of dragons burning down a city or making an area cold are not groundless."
Audrey nodded: "I understand."
She then smiled: "It seems I imagined the Beyonder races of the Second Epoch to be too simple."
Emlyn slightly raised his chin: Of course, the Beyonder races of the Second Epoch all had deep foundations.
Odis continued: "Also, I have obtained some verified information, though not verified by me."
He smiled and said: "Wisdom Angel believed in and pledged allegiance to the Ancient Sun God very early on, but He secretly maintained His faith without leaving the Dragon of Imagination's faction."
"And He made active contributions when the Ancient Sun God reclaimed the authority of the Dragon of Imagination."
"At that time, He seemed to already be Sequence 1, and after gaining the Ancient Sun God's trust, He received another Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, becoming an King of Angels."
"Magician" Fors let out a soft sigh: The process by which these King of Angelss became gods could be adapted into an inspirational novel.
Derrick sighed: The Omniscient and Almighty Lord's magnanimity is truly vast, able to accept even such a betrayer.
Alger noticed: Mr. Hermit had emphasized twice that his description of Wisdom Angel was based on accurate information. In other words, there was conclusive evidence of this King of Angels's betrayal of the Dragon of Imagination.
Klein also thought of this: After Wisdom Angel became a god, why didn't He erase these blemishes? Or were too many people, and too high-ranking, aware of these blemishes to be erased?
He wanted to ask again, but he didn't want to spend those 300 pounds.
This made Klein sigh: The Justice is still too young; when trading information with Mr. Hermit, she always fails to find the key points.
Then he thought to himself: Mr. Hermit is experienced. The rule he set, "only one question can be asked," makes me want to pay more next time so I can ask questions without hesitation.
At this point, only Audrey still had the opportunity to ask a question. Seeing that she didn't ask, Odis continued: "After that, Wisdom Angel's trajectory was similar to that of the other King of Angelss. He also became a god after the Great Cataclysm, and was one of the 'Six Gods' of the Fourth Epoch."
"That's the information about Wisdom Angel."
Audrey took a deep breath: "I really want to know the origins of the other four gods."
Fors was slightly startled; she actually felt a bit of anticipation too.
She quickly realized: After hearing about the King of Angels, my view of gods seems to have changed somewhat.
Odis smiled: "Perhaps we can trade for related information in the future."
As the "main part" of the transaction concluded and it was time to pay The Justice, Fors immediately said to The Justice: "I will sacrifice the remaining chapters of the spirit world experiences to Fool after the gathering ends."
The World then said to The Justice: "During an exploration, I saw sculptures of the 'Six Gods' from the Fourth Epoch. I can show them to everyone."
