Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Not long after he left the gray fog, Klein was meditating to restore his spirituality, when layers of prayers suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Is it Little Sun? Did you complete the secret contract ceremony so quickly?"

Klein was a little confused, but he quickly stood up, walked four steps backwards, chanted the honorary name, and arrived above the gray mist.

The crimson star representing the little sun is constantly expanding and contracting, and circles of crimson ripples are rippling.

Klein's consciousness immediately touched the crimson star, and a scene unfolded. The little sun was sitting in the corner of a dark room, with some unpacked ritual items beside him.

Is this a prayer to oneself immediately after completing the ritual?

Klein was a little confused and then turned his attention to the words of Little Sun's prayer:

"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. Baita that I have completed the secret contract ceremony of praying for knowledge from Bo Shizun, and obtained some extraordinary knowledge that condenses light into weapons."

"I already know." Klein threw his words into the crimson star that represented the little sun, and then threw the little sun's prayer image and voice into the crimson star that represented the White Tower.

After doing all this, Klein whispered to himself:

"The extraordinary knowledge of condensing light into weapons, isn't this the ability of the Warrior Path Dawn Knight? Can it also be directly taught to Extraordinaries of other paths in a way that imparts knowledge?"

Then Klein left the space above the gray fog again.

After cutting off the connection with Little Sun, Renekton immediately turned his attention to the Hanged Man tattoo on his left forearm. The originally dark red color like blood faded a bit.

Renekton frowned slightly, and it seemed that helping himself to bear the pressure from the sage's characteristics was no small burden for this clone of the true creator.

"No wonder he is eager to restore the status and strength of an angel." After muttering in a low voice, Renekton put down his rolled-up sleeves and returned to the study.

In front of a map of Backlund's city, he was studying the terrain of Backlund and thinking about his future plans.

A burst of gray mist suddenly surged into the field of vision, and a group of crimson light bloomed in it, condensing into a painting.

Little Sun Derrick is praying to Mr. Fool in a dark corner, asking him to turn around and the secret contract ritual he performed has been successful and he has gained some extraordinary knowledge.

The scene ended and the gray fog in his vision gradually dissipated. Renekton whispered to the map in front of him:

"Light Prayer is well matched with the ability to condense light into weapons, but it does not have the magic potion bonus like Dawn Knight, so it is more cumbersome and difficult to use."

I looked at Backlund's city map for a long time without any thoughts. Klein, on the other hand, actually knocked on the door downstairs.

Bugs Bunny ran over and opened the door for him, and then took Klein to the study on the second floor.

Klein handed over an amethyst ring and a dark black charm:

"The bad luck on this ring has been stripped away and made into a charm. The opening word of this charm is 'bad luck'."

Taking the amethyst ring and charm handed over to him, Renekton glanced at Klein unexpectedly. According to his opinion, Klein should not be able to leverage this level of power at this stage. It is to the goddess of the night. Asked for help?

"What's wrong?" Klein asked curiously when he saw that the other party looked at him before taking the things.

He shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. You came to see me for something else, right?"

Klein nodded and took out the master key:

"I did a divination on it and saw something. Where did you get this magical item?"

The corners of Renekton's mouth gradually raised in an arc, and he said under Klein's doubtful eyes:

"The Harvest Church you went to last time, there was an unlucky vampire who was volunteering there. This is the trophy the priest got from him."

"A vampire who volunteers at Harvest Church?"

Klein's face looked strange. He remembered that orthodox vampires believed in Lilith, the ancestor of the blood race. Most of the Beyonders who were promoted by taking potions were followers of the original moon.

This was the first time he heard about vampires who believed in the Mother Earth.

Renekton found a wooden box to put away the amethyst ring and the bad luck charm, and poured himself and Klein a cup of coffee.

Only then did he answer Klein's question with some emotion: "The Church of the Earth is willing to influence every vampire."

"Are you planning to visit the residence of that unfortunate Abraham family member?"

Klein was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to ask the other party how he knew this, but he suppressed his doubts when he thought that the master key was given to him by the other party, and that the secret-peeping path was also good at divination.

After thinking about his words, Klein spoke: "The Knowledgeable Master you are talking about refers to the Knowledge Wilderness?"

"Yes." Renekton nodded. This was not news that needed to be concealed.

"You" Klein wanted to ask you why you asked Little Sun about changing your faith, but he swallowed his words when he thought that Mr. World did not hear the transaction between the other party and Little Sun.

"What am I?" Renekton glanced at Klein curiously.

"Can you explain in detail the anchor you mentioned before? I'm a little confused."

With the clown's ability, Klein changed the topic with a very natural expression.

Renekton did not delve into whether there was any change in what Klein wanted to say before and after. He nodded slightly and said:

"The so-called extraordinary characteristics are, more accurately, the divinity left behind by the original Creator. The potion system is a path to gather divinity."

"Every person who sets out on this path will inevitably be eroded by the original will remaining in the divinity and the crazy instinct inherent in the characteristics."

Klein gradually frowned. It sounded like the potion system was destined to go crazy.

Renekton sat back on the armchair beside the desk and continued:

"If you use extraordinary characteristics to be promoted, you will also be affected by the mental imprint left by the one or even several extraordinary people above you."

"This is why Extraordinaries become more and more prone to losing control as their sequences advance."

"Anchor is other people's perception of you. To put it simply, it is belief. Believers are the anchors of gods. Believers' beliefs prevent gods from going crazy in their characteristics. The spiritual imprint left in their characteristics is eroded by the initial remaining will. out of control."

Klein nodded heavily. He understood why it was easier to get out of control as the sequence progressed. As the sequence improved, the divinity gathered in the body increased exponentially.

"In a sense, what the Aurora Society preaches about the divinity of everything is actually correct."

Klein thought of the teachings of the Aurora Society and sighed.

Renekton nodded noncommittally:

"Each church's philosophy has its merits, but it is not entirely correct. After all, they only interpret the world from the perspective of the God they believe in."

Klein picked up the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste dissipated in his mouth, and his stimulated spirit seemed to become clearer.

"So the idea of ​​the wilderness of knowledge is what you said before: everything is a question and everything must have an answer?"

Renekton was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head slightly and said:

"No, there are no believers in the wilderness of knowledge, so how can there be any ideas? That sentence is just my own understanding."

"The Moss Ascetic Order has its own teachings. They believe that everything is number and knowledge is supreme."

Speaking of faith, Renekton thought of the Western Continent where a bunch of essence was sealed.

There should be believers in the Knowledge Wilderness there, but this belongs to the next version of the map and can be skipped for now.

The topic came to the Moss Ascetic Order. Klein thought that he had discussed this issue with Old Neil before, and sighed:

"If the Hidden Sage had not become a personal evil god, the Moss Trappist Order might not have become a cult organization."

Renekton shook his head slightly, not quite agreeing with the other party's point of view:

"Except for the Seven Orthodox Churches, all others are cult organizations. This will not change. The gods will not let any force go free in their fight for faith."

"It's just that the alliance of the Seven Gods has the upper hand now. In a longer period of time, the True Creator was the Church of the Righteous God. The Six Gods at that time were all secret organizations and cult forces."

"This" Klein was stunned, took a deep breath, and sighed in his heart. Much of the information recorded by the church, especially in terms of history, was not credible.

"You know a lot."

Klein said with emotion but tentatively.

Today at the Tarot meeting, Klein was still wary of Little Sun's question about converting Silver City.

He seriously doubted whether his fellow countryman had really been contaminated by the wilderness of knowledge and had changed his personality.

Renekton glanced at the coffee in his hand, ignored Klein's probing, and chuckled:

"The Hidden Sage is knowledge itself. There are few secrets in this world that can be hidden from him, even if they are secret."

“Because if you have enough knowledge, you can deduce more knowledge based on it.”

Klein nodded silently, neither saying he believed the explanation nor denying it.

For a while, the only sound left in the study was the sound of Bugs Bunny chewing fruit.

"I want to take a look at the place where the Abraham family member died. Do you know where it is?"

After a long while, Klein spoke again, and the topic returned to the master key.

Renekton shook his head slightly: "You can go to the Harvest Church to find that unlucky vampire."
