Rushing to the Market (Two in One)Chapter 1038: Rushing to the Market (Two in One)

Silver-gray slightly curly hair, light gray eyes, a beauty that doesn't quite match the temperament of the "Forsaken Land of God"… That's right, it's Lovia Tiffany, a Sequence 5 "Shepherd" who once fought against a high-sequence evil spirit and escaped unscathed. Therefore, she is likely to have strength close to that of a Saint. She is one of the elders of the "Six-Man Council" of the City of Silver… It is said that after exploring the ruins of the "True Creator", her originally abnormal mind became normal…

The information he learned from Derrick, including the specific image of Lovia that he had shown at the Tarot Club, emerged in Klein's mind one by one.

But in the eyes of the shepherd, the patrol member downstairs who she was not familiar with just glanced at her naturally, paused slightly, turned to look at Colin Iliad who walked out of the tower, and greeted him excitedly.

As if she had lost interest in him, Lovia turned and left the window.

Feeling the gazes of the True Creator's followers shifting away from him, Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He pretended to turn around and prepare to leave, but before he took a few steps, he heard Derrick shouting:

"Ginold, the Chief wants to ask about your patrol tonight."

He called out a little late, and his voice was deliberately too loud, which made him look a little obvious. But it was good enough for him... Klein muttered to himself, turned around naturally, and nodded in agreement. His movements and demeanor were exactly the same as the real "Ginold" who had returned home.

During the few minutes he had spent tracking the team from outside Silver City back into the city, he had already memorized every detail of the target's movements.

This is the confidence of the "Fortune Teller"... He followed Colin Iliad and Derrick through the spiral staircase and came to a secluded lounge in the tower. He watched the "Chief" close the door.

He didn't take any protective measures... Well, that's right. On the surface, he just casually asked me, a member of the patrol team, about the situation outside the city. If he used a spiritual wall or other seals to isolate the outside world, it would be even more suspicious...

Klein, who looked like a half-giant but actually used the "Faceless Man" to transform into a hollow humanoid, saw Colin, who had many old scars on his face, looking at him. He took the initiative to transform back into the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow, and his temperament also changed.

"The Sun" Derrick immediately recognized the other person based on his familiar body outline and deep, cold temperament. He really was Mr. "The World" who had always taken care of him at the Tarot Club, and his expression could not hide his excitement.

But Colin Iliad remained basically calm, even though he had just learned from Derrick that the person in front of him was most likely someone who came to Silver City from the "outside world".

"Are you really from the outside world? The other side of the sea?"

After a moment's silence, he got straight to the point and asked, his voice not as calm as he looked.

This is the issue that he and the entire Silver City are most concerned about.

"That's right."

Klein calculated that his historical pore image would not last long, so he began to communicate in the same giant language as the other party.

"How do you prove it?"

The Chief asked relentlessly.

Isn't my own existence proof of this? Klein did not answer in this way, lest this historic meeting end hastily. Instead, he directly recited his own honorific name, that is, "The Fool":

"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

Following his prayers, Klein, who was hiding in the historical fragments, came above the gray fog. With the help of the prayer light, he took a look around and found that the three "Amons" were playing their own roles. Some were sleeping, some were eating, and some were commenting on the deliciousness of mushroom bread with their companions. Only then did he feel at ease and found an ugly paper figure from the pile of debris. It came with the power of Sefirah Castle and did not produce too many light effects. He threw it to the "Chief" below.

In an instant, the "demon hunter" felt himself surrounded by a warm power, and the legendary sunlight appeared before his eyes, dazzling but not glaring.

He silently felt this power, then opened his eyes and looked beside him, only then he realized that the "warmth of the sun" belonged to him alone. It was not a real power, but a blessing that went straight to the spirit.

"It is indeed the power of Mr. Fool..."

He murmured, his expression changing.

At best, this could only mean that the other party was a believer of The Fool. There were people in their Silver City who believed in The Fool, and there were also people in other possible city-states who believed in The Fool. This did not actually prove that the other party came from the "outside world".

But the appearance of the other party proved that Silver City was not alone. They could obtain external assistance and introduce external forces. With the help of additional forces, the "Giant King's Court" leading to the outside world would not be an insurmountable chasm!

"So, how should we get to the 'outside world'?"

Collecting his thoughts, Colin asked in a deep voice.

"At present, it seems that you can only leave the 'Forsaken Land of Gods' by relying on the 'Giant King's Court'."

Klein did not deceive the leader of the City of Silver or paint him an unrealistic picture. Instead, he drew conclusions based on his own understanding and their previous explorations and told him the truth.

"The God-Forsaken Land... Is this what the outside world calls the environment we are in?"

Colin repeated the word, as if he had understood something, but then he frowned with a scar running across his eyes and said,

"You didn't come in from there?"

Very perceptive... Klein smiled and replied,

"I used another method, but that 'channel' is not suitable for you, unless someone can come back from the dead."

He had initially thought of using the power of the City of Disaster to take away the residents of Silver City in batches, and complete the promotion ceremony of the Miracle Master in small pieces. But then he thought again, as a Sequence 3 "Ancient Scholar", he had to die once to avoid being contaminated by the Source during the "crossing". Most of the residents in Silver City were only of low or medium sequences, or even ordinary people. How could they travel back and forth safely?

According to Angel, it would be good if they didn't grow swollen chests and their heads betrayed their bodies and flew away.

Other methods, such as using the projection of the "Star Staff" to teleport the residents of Silver City away, or using the "Box of the Old Days" to turn them into toys and take them out of the God-Forsaken Land, were abandoned because the spiritual world here was isolated from the outside world, and the "0" level seal could not break through the barrier and be sent here.

After much thought, Klein realized that if he wanted to quickly transfer a large number of Silver City residents away from the God-forsaken Land, the "Giant King's Court" was actually the only viable option.

The only problem is…

"There is some kind of 'corrupted' power there, and the 'Dark Angel' Sasriel is sleeping there. I think you should know that he is the King of Angels."

Colin continued, glancing at Derrick Berg, who was between the two of them and a little closer to him.

He was testing whether I had obtained relevant information about their exploration of the Giant King's Court from Mr. Fool... Klein laughed secretly. He enjoyed the feeling of massaging his brain, but also felt that it was a waste of time. His historical projection would disappear in a few minutes.

"By then, I will join your exploration team and fight against Sasriel together. This is not a big problem..."

He spoke with some brazenness, causing Colin Iliad's eyelids to twitch. He did not quite believe that the other party could handle an ancient Angel King, even though the other party seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and his condition might not be the same as before.

However, Klein already had a preliminary plan in mind. With Angel's ability to travel back and forth to the God-Forsaken Land, as well as his ability to go to Sefirah Castle and launch angel-level attacks, it would be possible for them to join forces to deal with an Angel King.

Of course, the premise is that He is indeed not in good condition.

But Klein currently knew very little about this "Dark Angel", and his "Ancient Scholar" had not yet digested the last bit. He also had no clues about the whereabouts of the "Dark Wolf" Kotal. It was impossible for him to concentrate on dealing with Sasriel and lead the Silver City out of the "God-forsaken Land" in advance.

"...But I have come to the God-forsaken Land this time, and I have my own things to do. To do this, you must provide some necessary help."

He added.

Colin Iliad was not surprised by this. If the other party shamelessly offered to help Silver City get out of trouble, but he didn't want anything, he would not believe it.

"What are we going to do?"

He asked carefully.

"Some historical books and documents I specified, maps and detailed information about the surrounding areas you explored, and... hunting for the clone of Amon the Blasphemer hiding in the city."

Colin just nodded slightly at the first two conditions, but the third one made his expression change again.

He clearly remembered that his own fate, or rather the fate of the City of Silver, intersected with The Fool, all because of an incarnation of Amon. Derrick beside him was even possessed by the other party, and the problem was finally solved with the help of a certain existence.

For a long time afterwards, Colin thought that Derrick secretly believed in Amon the Blasphemer, until Derrick took the initiative to admit that he was special, and then he knew that it was Mr. Fool.

Now, the avatar of the Angel King has appeared in the Silver City again?

Without waiting for the other party to think about it, Klein, who was running out of time, quickly told Colin about the three Silver City residents he had discovered were parasitic. He asked him to take note of them first, but not to rush to deal with them, but to wait for his notification.

The purpose of his doing so was naturally that he did not want to attract the attention of Amon so quickly and let the Angel King know that he had "smuggled" into the God-forsaken Land and secretly searched for the extraordinary characteristics of the "Miracle Worker" under His nose.

When the time is right, Silver City's sudden elimination of all clones will certainly alert Amon. He knows that there are followers of the Fool in Silver City, and they will definitely wait for a while, waiting for Klein to appear.

This way, Klein would have more time to deal with the Dark Wolf, obtain the extraordinary characteristics, and make final preparations for his promotion.

Of course, in this request, he also took into account the safety of Silver City. He figured out Amon's character and believed that He would not attack Silver City without catching Klein, because this would alert the enemy and make Klein dare not return to this city.

After listening to Klein's explanation, Chief Colin fell into a brief contemplation. His light blue eyes stared at Klein, as if he was evaluating whether the promise of the man in front of him was worth the price that Silver City would pay for offending an Angel King.

"I..."

Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that the man in front of him, wearing a black windbreaker and a strange hat, disappeared like a phantom.

He frowned immediately and looked at Derrick beside him. The latter shook his head innocently, indicating that he didn't know what happened either.

The moment he disappeared, I almost blurted out my agreement... Colin Iliad looked at the place where Klein disappeared and fell silent.

…

"Alas, the duration of historical images is still too short, and it is not enough for this kind of detailed communication..."

Klein muttered as he hid in the mist of history. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to send a second clone to Silver City, so as to avoid attracting the attention of Amon's clone or Elder Lovia by frequently using the Faceless Man's ability to invade the city. Although he was confident that he could deal with these clones that should not be higher than Sequence 4 and the "shepherds" who were not even demigods, this would inevitably attract more attention and completely bankrupt his plan.

"At this time, Angel should use historical projection to create some noise in the outside world, so that Zaratul and Amon will think that I have not yet arrived at the God-Forsaken Land. If I am discovered by Amon, all my hard work will be in vain..."

He had just left the mist of history when he suddenly sensed that he was being summoned from a certain point in the past.

Who is using my historical pore image... Klein was startled and returned to the gray fog with historical spots floating in it. The other him far away in the sky immediately gained independent consciousness.

————

Seeing Klein's eyes light up and he regained his consciousness, Angel quickly dropped his hand that was pulling his collar and laughed awkwardly.

Why do I feel like I'm being abused... Aren't shoulders or arms usually the target of historical projection?

Klein, whose consciousness had come to this place, looked around to ease the atmosphere. He found that the weather was clear, the sun was setting, and there were birds singing and insects chirping all around. It seemed as if he was in a forest somewhere far away from the city.

"Where is this place?"

He asked casually, noticing that Angel was closing the "Lemanno's Travel Notes" borrowed from Miss Magician. The burnt yellow paper that recorded "Historical Pore Image Summoning" was now blank.

"The forest near the Honachis Mountains in Sivelas County is now occupied by Intis," she explained, pointing in a direction outside the forest with her hand holding the notebook. "There is an Intis army stationed over there. I did some divination and found that an 'Iron Knight' is defending the station. You can try to harass that army. It would be best if you could fight that saint. The louder the better."

This was a plan the two had agreed upon before heading to the "God-Forsaken Land". After Klein stayed in the God-Forsaken Land at the cost of his death, in order to delay the time for Amon and Zaratul to discover this, Angel would use the "Historical Pore Image" to create the illusion that Klein was still active in various places from time to time.

It was hard to say whether these two Sequence 1s could be deceived, but they would at least send secret dolls or clones to check. By the time they had confirmed many times that the Klein who appeared was just a historical projection, he had already taken many actions in the God-Forsaken Land and accumulated enough advantages.

After giving the instructions, Angel glanced at Klein, who was wearing the Creeping Hunger through projection and pulling out the historical image of the secret puppet "Dark Saint" that he once possessed, and asked,

"Is everything going well in the God-Forsaken Land?"

"We have found the Silver City, but I discovered that there are several clones of Amon inside... I think we can make use of them."

Klein answered briefly. He had just experienced a "tragedy" in which the historical projection disappeared before it was completed. He was extremely sensitive to the passage of time.

"Do you need my help? A quarter of Sona Island was destroyed by Chick's bombing. Fortunately, the village is still there, and I can still go to the God-Forsaken Land through the altar there."

Angel asked back with concern.

However, Klein rejected her kindness. After all, the "Golden Queen" who had been active in the Kingdom of Loen suddenly killed several Amon clones in the God-Forsaken Land, which was almost a public statement that she could travel back and forth to the blocked continent at will, which was very unfavorable to the two's future plans.

"The situation there is too complicated. The City of Silver is trying to save itself. The followers of Mr. Fool are preaching. The followers of the True Creator are spying. Amon's clone is hiding in the dark. Sasriel is blocking the door. The lightning of the Lord of Storms is flashing in the sky. The power of the goddess is hidden in the darkness... Didn't you say that Trier in Intis is a mixed bag? I would like to call the 'Forsaken Land of Gods' the Eastern Trier..."

Even until Klein's gloves became transparent and he took the marionette away through "teleportation", his complaints were still floating in the wind.

…

After seeing Klein off, Angel felt the spiritual energy in his body slowly draining away, then he entered the mirror world and came to a small town next to the Honachis Mountains.

Although this place quickly became a spoil of war after Intis invaded Loen, it has not experienced the flames of war. Apart from the Intis flag being hung in the administrative hall and passers-by looking a little uneasy, not much has changed.

Angel quickly found the "Blue Mountain" hotel in a corner of the town, and met her target person for today's visit to Severas County: Alysia Tamara in the suite on the second floor.

After she sent a letter through the other party's messenger yesterday requesting a meeting, the young lady immediately responded and selected a border town far away from Backlund as the meeting place.

Similar to the last time they met in Constantinople, the Tamara family's contact was still sitting in front of Angel, with a straight posture and a face as expressionless as a wax figure.

Of course, this time she wore a normal plaid long skirt, paired with a gray tweed coat that highlighted her waistline. It was not based on the asymmetrical aesthetic of the Fourth Epoch, which made Angel feel very comfortable.

She was probably worried that she would be questioned by Intis soldiers if she walked down the street like that... Angel muttered, moved on the single sofa, got into a comfortable position, and asked,

"Do you know anything about the 'School of TruthSchool of TruthChapter 1039: School of Truth

"School of Truth..."

There was a flash in Alysia Tamara's gray eyes, as if the word brought back some memories.

After a moment, she nodded and said in her usual old-fashioned tone:

"Of course I understand."

Angel leaned back in his chair, assuming a listening posture, waiting for the other party to continue.

The young Tamara didn't keep the secret. She subconsciously glanced at the closed door and lowered her voice slightly:

"What do you think is the underlying color of this world? White or black?"

Her actions were like she was secretly preaching. Would she say that she was a believer of the "School of Truth"? Angel laughed secretly and replied,

"You don't mean gray, do you?"

She came here from the Internet age and did not hesitate to expose the trap in Yalishia's question. This successfully made the answer that was about to be blurted out stuck in her throat. The serious and old-fashioned expression like a sculpture also changed slightly. After a moment, she continued:

"…It is indeed gray. This is the philosophy of the 'School of Truth'. They believe that the essence of the world is the gray between black and white, the fog and shadow between light and darkness. It is constantly changing and extremely chaotic. They are happy to find loopholes in order and use means on the edge of the law to achieve their own goals… This is the same as the essence of the pale white, unstable fog they believe in."

Pale white, unstable mist... Isn't this the mist that appeared when Bernadette and I destroyed the altar of the "Great Mother" in Belon Village...

Angel immediately thought of this and confirmed that the "School of Truth" that Alissa mentioned was the one that acted with the "Great Mother" believers and Nast Solomon in Intis.

The belief and respect for "chaos" but not following existing laws is somewhat similar to the adjacent path of the arbitrator, the "lawyer", that is, the various abilities of the Beyonders of the "Black Emperor" path, such as distortion, amplification, confusion, and misleading.

If the tomb of the previous Black Emperor was not still hidden in a corner, and the new Black Emperor died tragically at the promotion ceremony, I would have thought that they believed in the true God of this path... But the white mist did not seem to belong to the nine "Old Ones" whose names I knew. Hmm, Chaos... Son of Chaos?

The name of this Outer God suddenly popped up in Angel's mind.

Like the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Mother Tree of Desire", he had his source essence torn apart by the aggregation of the original creator, so that part of his power remained within the barrier.

Because of this, compared to the other six Outer Gods, it is easier for them to extend their tentacles into the barrier, exert influence on the pathways to which these three sources belong, and achieve certain goals.

The "Son of Chaos" possesses the pinnacle of power from both the "Judge" and the "Black Emperor", the source of the "Kingdom of Disorder".

From this perspective, the unstable mist believed by the "School of Truth" is most likely another identity of the old one outside the barrier. It is understandable that they joined forces with the believers of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" who incarnated as the "Great Mother" and used cheap believers to launch sacrifices in various places in Intis... Because the two "gods" have the same stance and both want to take back their own source essence and extraordinary characteristics as soon as the barrier is broken...

Thinking of this, Angel refocused his gaze on Yalishia and continued to ask:

"When was the 'School of Truth' established? Has it done anything...big before?"

She wanted to say "bad things", but then she felt that what she thought was bad might not be bad in the eyes of Tamara, so she changed her way of saying it.

"Just recently, no more than ten years ago."

Alysia blinked her signature dark grey eyes and gave an answer that surprised Angel.

"ah?"

The latter did not hide his emotions at all and uttered a single sound that expressed doubt.

She originally thought that the truth school that believed in the "Sons of Chaos" on the same level as the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" should have a similar origin to the "Original Moon" believers who had developed in the southern continent for nearly a thousand years, or at least a few hundred years. However, she did not expect that it was much shorter than the Aurora Society and the Psychological Alchemy Society, which were new organizations that believed in local evil gods or were protected by a certain angel king.

No wonder I've never heard of this school before. There's no record of it in the Nighthawks' internal documents... She muttered. Just as she was about to continue asking, Yalishia continued,

"But looking back in time, the belief in that unstable mist can be found as early as in the late Fourth Epoch. It's just that the name 'School of Truth' appeared very late."

That's more reasonable, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the name "Old Times"... Angel almost blurted it out, but immediately suppressed the thought and asked curiously:

"Is it related to your family's history?"

"Yes," Yalishia nodded seriously, "I think you should have heard about a huge change and two internal splits in our family in the past."

No, I haven't heard of it. Last time I said that wild Beyonders also have profound knowledge, I was actually bragging... Angel nodded without changing his expression and said tentatively:

"You mean the change in the heraldry?"

This was the gossip she heard from Dorian Abraham. Otherwise, her knowledge of the Tamara family would probably only be limited to a few pieces of information in the Nighthawks' internal documents, such as "great nobles of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Epoch", "mastering some of the 'Arbitrator' pathway potions", and other information.

Compared to those veteran angels, Angel became an angel too quickly. This is an advantage, allowing her to possess the strongest power in the shortest time. It is also a disadvantage, as she lacks money, connections, and accumulation of secret knowledge. She is far inferior to those extraordinary families who step by step work hard to accumulate resources for advancement.

Yalishia nodded again, stretched out her hands, and a hint of dark golden light appeared at the tips of her two slender index fingers. She was distracted and moved her fingers to draw two emblems that Angel had seen from Dorian.

They were glowing in the air. One of them was a symmetrical shape formed by a long sword vertically separating the shield and thorns, while the other replaced the shield and thorns with a double-opening door, with the same long sword serving as the gap in the door.

"Initially, the Tamara family was a prominent family in the Solomon Empire, possessing a trait of the 'Hand of Order' of the 'Judge' path. Therefore, our family's inheritance is mainly based on this path, and the family emblem is full of the characteristics of this path..."

Tamara stared at the emblem of thorns formed by the sword, shield and thorns in the air and spoke softly.

"Wait..." Angel interrupted Alysia's recollection and said, "I thought the three 'Hands of Order' during the Solomon Empire belonged to the Augustus, Castilla and Trunsoest families respectively."

She thought so naturally because the first two were the royal families of the current Kingdom of Loen and the Kingdom of Feynaport, and both held a copy of the "Hand of Order", while Trunsoest was the "Night Emperor" who was promoted to a true god in the Fourth Epoch and fell in the War of the Four Emperors, and the Sequence 0 of the "Judge".

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Angel's mind, and he remembered the contents of a part of Roselle's diary that he borrowed from Klein and Mr. Fool when he was learning Chinese.

That was a conversation between Roselle and the exiled Mr. "Gate", Bethel Abraham. It mentioned that after the death of the "Black Emperor" Solomon in the Fourth Epoch, the "Night Emperor" of the Trunsost family divided up the characteristics left by Solomon and was promoted to the "Prince of Sequence Killing" of Sequence 1. He became one of the two rulers of the United Empire, on par with the "Blood Emperor" Tudor.

This means that whether he jumped from the "Judge" to the "Black Emperor" or was originally the "Duke of Entropy" of Sequence 2, it is unlikely that he would possess the characteristics of the "Hand of Order".

Therefore, during the First Solomon Empire, three copies of the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the "Judge" were in the hands of the Castilla, Augustus, and Tamara families!

According to the history of the Fourth Epoch compiled by Klein, after Solomon lost his status and fell due to opposition from the six true gods, which did not include steam at the time, Trunsoest and Tudor each obtained a Sequence 1 "Prince of Order Killing" characteristic, and were promoted to Sequence 1 of the Black Emperor Path, establishing the United Empire. Then, before Solomon returned due to the special characteristics of the "Black Emperor", they chose the "Judge" and "Red Priest" paths to become gods, respectively, and expelled the excess "Prince of Order Killing" in their bodies to avoid a sudden drop in sequence.

During this period, Trunsoest and the Tamara family probably had a very unhappy quarrel, which led to this angel family not following the "Emperor of Night" like Augustus and Castilla. Instead, they assisted the "Blood Emperor" in establishing the Tudor Empire together with the Abraham family and became one of the great nobles under His command... Angel imagined a drama of love and hatred in his mind and asked:

"So, at this stage, your family crest changed?"

"Yes. Most of the new generations in the family turned to the 'apprentice' path after a certain incident. Due to the marriage with the Abraham family, this was not difficult... But there are still a few Tamaras who have become high-sequence 'Judges' who insist on the original path and have passed it down to this day."

As she spoke, Yalishia extinguished the straight sword gate emblem in the air that represented the fusion of "Apprentice" and "Judge", leaving only the one with the sword, shield and thorn combination.

"This is the first split." Angel nodded, thinking, but the next second Alysia continued:

"No, this is just a change in the coat of arms. It is a long process that lasted for a hundred years and spanned the two stages of the United Empire and the Tudor Empire... and the first split was when the Tamaras on the apprentice path split into branches within the Abraham family and the branch that married the 'Witch Family' and had close ties with them."

The Gnosis Society... Angel immediately thought of this secret organization under the Witch Cult, which included both low-sequence Beyonders who were "Assassins" and some "Apprentices" who had mastered the potion formulas.

In addition, according to Angel's guess, the black-haired and gray-eyed "Black Witch" Clarisse is also likely to have Tamara's blood.

"What about the second split?"

After organizing his thoughts, Angel continued to ask.

She had a hunch that this split was actually related to the "School of Truth".

As expected, after Alissa dispersed the emblem of the Judge path, she resumed her solemn and serious posture with her hands on her knees and replied:

"This split originated from within us, the branch that adheres to the 'Inquisitor' path.

"Some of the Tamaras were bewitched by the so-called 'truth' and believed in the gray between white and black, the chaos of light and darkness. They tried to build a bridge of communication between following order and spreading shadows, and believed that such behavior was a ritual to get closer to and please the truth... With the support of this concept, they mainly operated in Intis, where the royal family was overthrown and a republic was established. They used secret missionary work, transactions, and cooperation to try to control the top leaders of the Intis government and achieve their ultimate goal."

"The ultimate goal?" Angel felt that they had finally reached the point and asked eagerly.

"Because they tried to cooperate with the 'Man in the Mirror', and we also had similar help, so we got some vague news..." Yalishia Tamara said calmly, "First, with the help of the Intis government, or even the governments of other countries, we can find the hidden mausoleum of Emperor Roselle; second, we can look for clues about the 'Fallen Heaven' deep underground in Trier; finally..."

Having said this, she paused.

"…Searching for a lamp, a 'wishing lamp' that can grant all the wishes of the holder The Path of the Outer Gods?Chapter 1040: The Path of the Outer Gods?

"Wishing Lamp"? The sealed object codenamed "0-05"?

Hearing that one of the ultimate goals of the Truth School was to find the Level 0 sealed object currently in Bernadette Gustave's hands, Angel was stunned, and a deep sense of doubt surged from the bottom of his heart.

According to Arrodes, this seal is formed by the characteristics of a "miracle worker", and it seems to have another characteristic sealed inside, which causes it to fulfill the owner's wishes in a distorted way, which often causes additional dangers and is not truly "as expected".

Does the "School of Truth" want the "Miracle Worker" attribute? Or does it want to use the effect of the magic lamp to achieve some special wishes? For example, wishing that "the Earth's barrier is broken in advance" to allow the Outer Gods to enter this planet? But if the characteristics of Sequence 2 can do this, why would the "Old Ones" who are above Sequence 0 True Gods wander outside the barrier for thousands of years...

...Could this be related to the characteristics of the seal inside "0-05"? If it is related to the "Judge" path, the characteristics of the three Hands of Order have all been assigned, leaving only "uniqueness"...

...No, when I was fighting against Zaratul's historical projection, the Emperor Roselle he summoned instilled a bunch of strange knowledge in me, including the whereabouts of the uniqueness of "The Judge". It became the "Brass Book of Trunsost" and was contaminated. It was obviously an independent sealed object...

Thoughts suddenly flashed through Angel's mind, but he couldn't guess the real purpose of the School of Truth. He had to put it aside for the time being and think about another question raised by the ownership of the "Wishing Magic Lamp".

Why is one of the goals of this secret organization that most likely believes in the Outer God "Children of Chaos" to find the tomb of Bernadette's father, the former "Black Emperor" Roselle Gustav, who is dead but most likely not completely dead?

Bernadette is looking for her father, Nast Solomon is looking for his father, are they the same?

This question also quickly stopped in Angel's mind, and it was difficult to go further. This was not only because there were too few clues to analyze carefully, but also because Alysia Tamara's dark gray eyes like stone were staring at her, as if waiting for her to finish thinking and continue the conversation, but also seemed to be simply admiring.

As for the third purpose of the "School of Truth", Angel could guess without much thought that this was closely related to the "source substance" that was sucked into the earth's barrier by the "Son of Chaos" through the aggregation effect.

In other words, the "Fallen Heaven" is another name for the source substance "Kingdom of Disorder", and it is the ultimate purpose of the "Old Ones" who can neither be said to be hateful nor pitiful, coming to the earth.

She thus guessed that the other two goals, whether it was finding the "Wishing Lamp" or searching for Roselle's final tomb, were "preconditions" for this ultimate goal.

After clearing his mind a little, Angel looked at Alysia and continued to ask:

"Do you have any additional clues about the purpose of the 'School of Truth'?"

This Tamara seemed to have just come back to her senses, her eyes slightly lowered, and she still answered in that indifferent tone:

"I'm not sure. We know this because a certain 'Man in the Mirror' surrendered and brought information from the School of Truth... But they are active in major cities in Intis and have absorbed many members of the Tamara branch who have achieved success in politics. They use their ability to seek opportunities in the gray area to form cliques and try to advance their own goals and control the government power of the entire Republic of Intis...

"...There is only one sentence about Emperor Roselle's mausoleum: 'Those public mausoleums are real, but not all of them are real'..."

It's true, but not entirely true… This is consistent with Anne and Bernadette's analysis. The eight exposed mausoleums are actually fakes. Roselle may have hidden more than one mausoleum… It seems that they are very clear about the promotion ceremony of the "Black Emperor"…

Angel didn't think about it and asked immediately:

"So, you told me this information in order to deal with the 'School of Truth' and prevent further division within Tamara?"

"That's right," Yalishia admitted straightforwardly. "They used the power of the gray area to deceive and persuade many family members to join them, causing a continuous division and confrontation within our family. This is something the family cannot tolerate. In addition, they cooperated with many cults and secret organizations, causing many bloody sacrifices and mass deaths."

The latter point is to remind me that the "School of Truth" is a cult and ask me not to cooperate with them... Angel smiled secretly and asked with interest:

"What exactly is this power that walks in the gray area that you are talking about?"

"This is also a question we have been puzzled about..." Yalishia's expression changed slightly again, making her old-fashioned face more lively. "It is different from the law and balance power of the 'Judge' path, and it is not the strange abilities of the apprentices... And I am sure that most of them have already chosen the potion path and cannot change."

No, in fact, they can at least jump to the "Black Emperor" path. These two are adjacent paths, but even so, there is no way to explain how this "chaotic" force between order and chaos appeared... Angel added in his mind, and fell into the same confusion as the other party.

But she immediately thought of a new possibility.

The other party believes in an "Old One" whose power can penetrate the barrier, and another similar "Old One", the "Mother Tree of Desire", once demonstrated on the Island of Oravi that His power to instantly transform an ordinary person into a mid-sequence extraordinary person. That is the power of "gift" from a high-level being to believers.

At first, Angel thought that Admiral Amyrius' mistress Cynthia was "given" a path she had never seen before, but now that she is an angel, she already knows most of the abilities of all 22 paths, but has never seen a sequence that can turn people into demon trees and cause the surrounding creatures to fall into a state of lust.

Now, another "path" that she didn't understand appeared.

Could it be that... the Outer Gods, or the three special "Old Ones" who can extend their power into the barrier, can grant their believers their own... Outer God Path?

It's a pity that all this cannot be discussed with Alissa. She knows that the moment the information about the "Old Days" is released, it will attract the attention of those beings and be contaminated... Angel thought with regret and was about to change the subject to talk about the details of dealing with the "School of Truth" when a slight explosion suddenly came from outside the hotel, attracting the attention of the two.

It won't be like the last time we met...

Her consciousness extended to the world in the mirror, and she instantly saw the location where the explosion occurred through the almost infinite mirrors around her.

…

"Boom, boom—"

The air shells fired by Klein and his many temporarily converted secret puppets blew deep pits in the dense forest. Countless large trees that were difficult to hug with one arm were broken in half. Amidst the flying dirt, a flaming spear flew into the air, but it did not shoot at Klein. Instead, it flew quickly into the distance and almost instantly escaped from the range of his "Spirit Line".

Tsk, in a few seconds I will be able to completely control his spirit thread. Even if I don't have time to transform him into a secret puppet, I can take the opportunity to severely injure or even kill him. This may delay the pace of the Intis army's invasion of Loen until they investigate the cause of death of the frontline commander... I didn't expect that the "recklessness" of the Hunter Path also has a certain positive meaning. Before my sluggish thoughts could take shape, he ran away directly...

Klein thought with some regret and did not try to chase the "Iron-Blooded Knight" who had transformed into a flaming spear and was fleeing quickly. Instead, he looked around at the devastated forest with satisfaction.

"That's about it. The commotion was huge, and the hunter demigod must have known that the one who attacked him was a 'weird wizard' or even an 'ancient scholar'. This is all 'testimony' in my favor..."

Watching the "Iron-Blooded Knight" stop flying at the edge of the sky and transform back into a tall, imposing figure, Klein stared at him for a few seconds. His figure gradually faded away and he "teleported" away from the forest on the border between Loen and Intis.

The nearby secret puppet creatures that he controlled fell dead one after another, truly losing their lives.

…

In the "God-Forsaken Land", near the City of Silver, Klein's consciousness returned to his body in a certain historical fragment and he let out a long sigh.

"The duration of the historical pore image summoned by the angel is beyond my expectation. This is completely different from when I was summoned by Miss Magician. The latter's spiritual power could only last for about three minutes before it was exhausted. This time, it was the historical projection itself that reached its limit first..."

He grunted, pleased with the action.

"The commotion I caused this time is likely to attract Zaratul who has been looking for me. But Amon may not. He should be able to guess that I will come to the God-Forsaken Land and focus on this place instead of the outside world..."

As he was thinking, he left the mist of history and looked in the dim light at the Silver City, which was faintly illuminated by lights in the depths of the darkness. He was quite troubled by the several clones of Amon inside.

Once discovered by these clones, Amon's original body would quickly confirm that he had arrived at the God-forsaken Land, and mobilize his angelic clones to search everywhere, and might even lie in wait near the Dark Wolf, waiting for him to fall into their trap.

Although he had planned to do this at a critical moment to draw Amon's attention to the City of Silver and give himself some time to explore other places, if he "detonated" the bomb in advance, he would be injured or killed instead.

"Oh, by the way, I can ask Leonard, or ask Pales who is parasitizing him, how to kill Amon's clone without alerting the original body, or deceive their senses..."

On impulse, Klein once again came above the gray fog and looked at the star that belonged to Leonard, the "Star".

————

At the same time, Leonard, who was sitting quietly in his office in the basement of Saint Samuel Church in Backlund, opened his eyes.

Pales's slightly old voice rang in his ears:

"The operation over there is over."

It's over…Did we get the Jacob family's treasure?

Leonard stood up from his office chair excitedly, walked around the room twice, and then asked in a low voice,

"What exactly is going on?"

"Haha, the Jacob family has a lot of treasures and traps. If I hadn't secretly monitored and assisted them, they might have all been killed in there... In the end, I only took away the characteristics of the 'Fate Horse' and a seal that suits you. The rest is the reward for these baits."

Bait... Leonard was speechless for a moment. The tragic death of the mice used to test the effects of many seals behind the Chanis Gate came to his mind. After a moment, he no longer cared about the fate of the thieves in the "Fate Hermit Society" and continued to ask:

"Is it completely safe now?
