Chapter 66 - Reminder
Klein was originally conflicted about how to provide "protection," but on second thought, wasn't it completely up to
to decide if I had contributed enough? Yes, as long as I didn't have the ability, it was all because I didn't contribute enough.
On the other side, after hearing Ebner's words, Miss Justice's emotions rose again as she asked,
"Mr. Tower, thank you for your suggestion. In the process of accumulating contributions, I just happen to have plenty of ti to make preparations. I can more naturally co into contact with the secret gathering circles... By the way, I still have a question. When will I be able to digest the Spectator potion and end my acting? Are there any criteria for judgnt? I don't feel vexed or hear ravings anymore."
Alger looked at The Fool in the gray fog before looking at Ebner. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he answered after so deliberation,
"If one doesn't use the acting thod, the general principle is to wait at least three years. After confirming that there are no signs of bipolar, auditory, or visual hallucinations, one can use a simple thod to determine that one's body is being drained to the limit. In such a state, if one still doesn't hear any crazy whispers or see any strange things, it ans that one can advance."
"As for the 'acting thod', I just ca into contact with it. It feels good. It shouldn't take three years."
Seeing that Miss Justice seed to be looking down on him for too long, Klein took the opportunity to knock on the long table. As he recalled the knowledge he had read in Roselle's diary, he said in a normal tone,
"In the Low-Sequence Beyonders, as long as you strictly act, you can completely digest it in half a year. It's not impossible for it to last a month."
"It's a sign of complete digestion. When the ti cos, you'll naturally understand that you don't need anyone to teach you."
With that said, Klein focused his gaze and carefully observed the reactions of the three people present.
Miss Justice's joy is beyond words... Mr. Hanged Man seems to be both happy and puzzled, and there's more to the latter...
As for 'Tower', he didn't seem to have any special reaction to this. Had he known all along? It was getting harder to see through him.
Of course, Ebner already knew the digestive criteria of the acting thod. Wasn't the reason why he didn't rush to answer Justice's question to give Mr. Fool so space to "inadvertently reveal his strength?" It wasn't easy for him to join the Tarot Club, so he didn't wish for this gathering to be dissolved because Mr. Fool had been stripped of his identity.
Alger felt a strong sense of puzzlent, wondering why no one in the Church could co up with such a practical solution.
At this mont, from the corner of his eye, he saw the composed Ebner. He had a deep impression of this gentleman's knowledge. After so thought, he probed, "Mr. Tower, you seem to be very familiar with the acting thod?"
Ebner glanced at him when he heard that, well aware of what he wanted to ask. Therefore, after laughing, he directly asked, "Heh heh, I guessed what you wanted to ask... Mr. Hanged Man, you are a subordinate of a particular Church, right? From your attire, you should be from the Church of Storms?"
"How did you know?" Alger was so surprised that he nearly stood up. As he was participating in the Tarot Club, he had deliberately not worn clothes with the Church of Storms's logo. How could he be so easily guessed?
Klein and Audrey were also surprised, but they were hidden by the fog, so no one could see them.
"This is a deduction! Heh heh, my pathway is better at this. Besides, I'm quite familiar with the Church of Storms," Ebner explained with a smile. He was especially familiar with the Lord of Storms's true na...
Expert at rituals, reasoning... Sequence of Reader? No wonder he had so much information and knowledge.
As the Church of Storms itself grasped part of the potion formula of this Sequence, Alger had so understanding of it. He imdiately had a guess as he pretended to be excited and asked, "Mr. Tower, are you also from the Church of Storms?"
Ebner didn't answer. Instead, he returned to the previous question and said, "The various Churches have a rather consistent attitude towards the acting thod, and that is to seal it as much as possible. For example, the Church of Storms. Even if there are interdiate and low-level Mandated Punishers who summarize it, it will imdiately be negotiated by the upper echelons of the Church. Then, they will be asked to swear an oath not to spread it."
As for why, just imagine it yourself. It's not that I don't want to tell you the laws of Beyonder characteristics, but you probably haven't even seen a Beyonder characteristic yet, so let's talk about it in the future.
This evasive attitude made Alger realize that the other party wasn't an inexperienced noob. Even if he liked to show off, he wouldn't be hot-headed enough to say anything. He had been seen through by the other party when he pretended to ask a question!
With this in mind, Alger hurriedly apologized sincerely to Ebner. At the sa ti, he began thinking about why the Church would do such a thing.
Ebner, on the other hand, waved his hand to indicate that he did not care.
Klein watched the entire exchange between the two of them. After hearing Ebner's words, he finally resolved his doubts about why the Nighthawks didn't know about the acting thod. However, another question followed. What was the goal of the upper echelons of the Church?
Seeing the few of them in deep thought, Ebner felt that the Tarot Club would probably end at this rate. And he still had so things he wanted to reveal to Klein to see if he could change Tingen's story.
Therefore, he chose his words carefully and took the initiative to raise the topic. "It's suspected that a mber of the Psychology Alchemists broke the seal of the Church of Storms on Damir Island and released the demonic creature."
Audrey snapped to her senses when she heard that. She thought to herself, So Mr. Tower is tracking the Psychology Alchemists. It's no wonder he's so familiar with this organization.
"Wasn't it done by the Aurora Order?" Alger asked in surprise. The information he received didn't ntion the Psychology Alchemists.
"Heh heh, the one who did it was naturally the Aurora Order, but the person who instigated them was suspected to be from the Psychology Alchemists," Ebner explained with a smile.
Alger pondered for a mont when he heard that before taking the initiative to say,
"I also have a piece of information regarding the Aurora Order. Yes, I heard that a Listener is searching for traces of the True Creator, which is the Holy Place they promote."
At that mont, he had a vague feeling that this matter was related to the situation ntioned by Tower.
"The True Creator?" Audrey asked in puzzlent.
"That's an ancient existence that many mysterious organizations and secret sects believe in together. They believe that the Creator hasn't completely died. The core 'He' left behind is the True Creator," Alger roughly explained. "Ever since the Fifth Epoch, the True Creator has appeared in many forms, such as The Hanged Giant and the Eye behind the Shadow Curtain."
Having said that, he looked at Klein and said,
"Am I right, Mr. Fool?"
Did you co to test
after testing the Tower? Mr. Hanged Man has been a little jumpy recently. Should I give him a warning? As Klein lampooned, he chuckled.
"I'm more willing to call 'Him' the Fallen Creator."
This na was also appropriate. Wasn't there a "corruption" in the power of creation?
Ebner actually wanted to continue explaining to them how the True Creator ca to be, but there was still too little knowledge for the big shots in the future. It would be too troubleso to explain, so he could only forget about it for now.
Seeing that The Hanged Man was shocked speechless by Mr. Fool's attitude towards the True Creator, Audrey looked at Ebner and said with mixed feelings and curiosity,
"That sounds terrifying. Oh, Mr. Tower, can you tell
in detail about the various mysterious organizations and secret sects? It's very difficult for
to co into contact with such things in my daily life. I can only understand it through you. I'll pay you. I wonder what you want?"
Good question! Miss Justice, to a certain extent, you've beco a supporting role... In that case, with Tower's flaunting personality, he will definitely ntion the Secret Order, the Antigonus family, and even The Half-Fool...
Klein perked up when he heard that, but he didn't let his emotions show through his expression and actions.
Good question! Miss Justice, this way, I'll be able to take the opportunity to leak so information to Klein! However, there's still a reward? I want a Sequence 6 Beyonder characteristic... Or money is fine too... Sigh, even if Justice is willing to pay, I don't have a reliable way to collect money now. It's better to wait for Mr. Fool's delivery function to be developed before charging. I'll first set up a persona and snatch custors.
Ebner mocked himself in his heart before organizing his words. "I need the Tree of Elders' Heart. Help
take note of it. If you encounter it, buy it directly. I'll reimburse you later." This was one of the main ingredients of the Scholar potion he had previously analyzed.
The heart of the Tree of Elders... This is a Mid-Sequence ingredient. Is Tower a Sequence 7 or 6? Alger secretly assessed. He didn't know that he had been robbed of a business worth a thousand pounds.
From his original trajectory, he had only used so information from the secret organization that the various Churches had given to low-level mbers to obtain 1,000 pounds from Miss Justice.
"The heart of the Tree of Elders? Alright, Mr. Tower. I'll head to my family's treasure vault to see if there's anything there!" Miss Audrey happily agreed and decided to ask her friend if there was nothing at her house.
Good lord, I think it's very likely that you found Mr. Fool's delivery service before it even ca online... Ebner secretly envied Audrey's treasure vault because he also wanted one.
Following that, Ebner explained the few secret organizations that originated from the Fourth and Fifth Epoch. Most of them spoke in general and didn't reveal too many secrets. They only talked a little more about the Moses Ascetic Order, the Psychic Council, the Demoness Sect, and the Secret Order as a reminder to Klein.
"The Hidden Sage beca an evil god in human form? This... How did he survive?" Audrey asked in an unimaginable and incomprehensible tone when she heard Ebner's description of how the Moses Ascetic Order believed in gods.
She had unknowingly exited the Spectator state.
It's like a ghost story... Besides, that "ghost" is a deity... Klein's heart stirred like a storm.
At this mont, Ebner secretly glanced at Klein and said with a wistful tone, "I don't know how 'He' survived, but 'His' life is a fatal disaster for many Beyonders of the Mystery Pryer Sequence!"
"Because once you accidentally establish a connection with 'Him,' you will be instilled with a lot of dangerous knowledge!"
"However, the sad thing is that the establishnt of this connection is actually passive most of the ti. There is no pattern to speak of."
Klein was alard when he heard that. He couldn't help but recall the terrifying existence behind Old Neil when he first activated his Spirit Vision.
"Old Neil is also a Mystery Pryer... It can't be that coincidental, right?"
Hopefully, it will change sothing... Ebner sighed in his heart.
Although he knew very well that from the mont a Low-Sequence Beyonder established a connection with the Hidden Sage, unless a miracle happened, the outco was already destined.
