Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Renekton turned back, looked in the direction of the noise, and softly uttered an ancient Hermetic word:

"Light!"

A bright, bright and pure light fell from the sky, completely dispelling the darkness in front of it, revealing the monster in the darkness that was chewing on the broken and decayed bluestone slabs in the ruins.

It is nearly four meters tall, its entire body is gray-white, its body is carved with armor-like patterns, its head has goat-like horns, and its mouth is like that of a hound, with its fangs half-open and half-closed.

It held the bluestone slab with both hands and carried it to its mouth. There was also a seven- to eight-meter stone halberd at its feet.

What attracts the most attention is its pair of burning red eyes and six pairs of gray-white covered wings, which will gradually turn to stone if you look at them.

"Six-winged gargoyle?" Renekton groaned as he looked at the monster revealed in front of him.

Bang!Bang!

Heavy footsteps came from the surroundings, and two more gray-white six-winged gargoyles nearly four meters high came out of the darkness. They each held a four-made spear about seven or eight meters tall, burning with red light. His eyes were fixed on Renekton.

"Did I stab the gargoyle in his lair?"

After muttering something to himself in a low voice, his body suddenly became transparent, illusory, and turned into a pile of foam.

Under the illumination of light, these bubbles reflect dreamy colors, scattering in all directions and disappearing in an instant.

The next moment, his figure appeared directly next to the six-winged gargoyle that was still stuffing a bluestone in its mouth. His right hand with a mechanical glove pressed firmly on the gray stone body of the six-winged gargoyle. .

Bits of bronze-colored light flowed out of the mechanical gloves and quickly traveled through the body of the six-winged gargoyle, disintegrating its body structure bit by bit.

Silently, the tall six-winged gargoyle turned into pieces of mottled and decaying crumbs, scattering all over the floor. Only its burning red eyes remained intact and separated from its body. , fell onto Renekton’s right hand wearing a mechanical glove.

After doing all this, Renekton turned his head and looked at the other two six-winged gargoyles coming out from behind.

As if they had been greatly frightened, they ran towards the darkness behind them at a speed that was not suitable for their heavy bodies. Their huge feet landed on the ground without making a single step.

Renekton narrowed his eyes, reached out and grabbed it in mid-air, condensed a white jade-like chess piece, and threw the chess piece out casually.

In the darkness, the two six-winged gargoyles that were running quickly suddenly slowed down and couldn't take a step for a long time.

Renekton carefully looked at the two fleeing six-winged gargoyles for a moment. Their tall gray stone bodies gradually became transparent, collapsed inward, and finally turned into a translucent ghost with the size of a normal human.

"Only one of the three six-winged gargoyles is real. It doesn't seem to realize that all its companions are fake. It's not very smart to have a brain structure of stone."

After muttering in a low voice, Renekton raised his left hand, and bright starbursts surrounded him. These starbursts flew away at the moment they were formed, contracted and condensed in mid-air, and turned into spears that shimmered with starlight.

These spears easily penetrated the translucent ghosts that were in a sluggish state, melting and disintegrating their bodies bit by bit.

Compared to the six-winged gargoyles, the bodies of the trickster monsters are much more fragile. I feel like the sunlight I just summoned can melt them directly if the sunlight I just summoned is a little brighter. Renekton made an evaluation in his mind as he moved forward, preparing to pick it up. Items made by condensing the characteristics of these two trickster monsters.

They were strange eyes, mainly dark, with complicated and unclear patterns around them, and the eyes were like lightless water.

Renekton picked up the main eyes of the two trickster monsters, then summoned several invisible servants and handed them the extraordinary materials condensed in his hands.

After the invisible servant retreated, he once again transformed into a pure information flow creature, quickly approaching the Giant King's Court by roaming in the spirit world.

As time passed, the frequency of lightning falling in the sky increased from once every one or two minutes to once every three or four seconds.

Where the Giant King's Court is located, a light that is difficult to observe and consists of countless pure and complex information pours out from the spiritual world.

This light has a strange rhythm, as if it is integrated with this magnificent palace, moving freely inside, but not touching the guards here.

At the front gate of the Giant King's Court, a hazy light that was difficult to see gathered in mid-air.

These lights suddenly became chaotic and distorted, as if they would disintegrate into countless information streams at any time.

At a certain moment, these lights suddenly disappeared in place, completely disappearing without leaving any trace.

Outside the Land Abandoned by the Gods, on the ocean that has evolved from the ruins of the God War, a hazy light composed of countless complex and pure knowledge floats slowly in mid-air, as if it has fallen into some kind of slow state.

The moment he left the God-Forsaken Land, countless prayers echoed in Renekton's ears. They were either male or female, distant, near, ethereal, or hoarse, with strong and pure emotions. Seriously. Talk about your confusion and your prayers.

As if the prayers that had accumulated for a long time were all absorbed by him, Renekton felt an incomparable noise in his ears, and had the urge to silence the whole world.

After a while, Renekton finally finished sorting out the prayers echoing in his ears. He directly blocked the insignificant ones and marked those that needed to be responded to. Some of them were automatically responded to and some were thrown to the "Hidden Sage".

After re-adjusting himself, Renekton reorganized his body from the complex and pure news. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch the side of his face and murmured to himself:

"After successfully receiving faith, my state has become more stable. The humanity and emotions that were previously suppressed are returning little by little."

"This is a good thing. The more stable my humanity is, the more of myself I can retain after merging with the body of the Western Continent, and even be able to separate again."

After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked at the giant royal court behind him, shrouded in orange dusk and covered with a layer of golden red.

The Giant King's Court seen from the Sea of ​​Ruins is more majestic and spectacular than the one seen in the God's Abandoned Land. It is more like a scene coming out of mythology, and is more in line with the Kingdom of Giant King Ormir!

After quietly staring at the Giant King's Court for a few seconds, his body became insubstantial again, decomposed into streams of complex and pure knowledge, and surged away towards the periphery of the sea of ​​ruins.

On the "Future" sailing in the northern part of the Sunia Sea, Cattleya, who was leaning by the bay window of the captain's cabin and looking at the crew on the deck and the sea in the distance, suddenly turned around.

Directly in front of her eyes, on the dark brown desk, there was an additional letter.

"The Queen's reply, isn't she going to come over?" Cattleya muttered a few words in a low voice, with a bit of disappointment in her tone.

Then he quickly walked over, picked up the letter on the table, and unfolded it in front of his eyes:

I cannot give you an accurate revelation. This involves the "hidden sage" and the top of this sequence. I cannot make any form of "prophecy" about it.

If you accept his blood as a promotion ritual to Sequence Four, you will be fine and even gain some benefits while he is still him.

But if his personality completely disappears, you will probably become a devout believer in the "hidden sage", just like Bonois

My advice is: don’t take the chance, it doesn’t make any difference and won’t make any difference if you get promoted a few months earlier or later.

In recent times, the knowledge imparted by the "Hidden Sage" to the "Secret Peeper" has included a lot of directional information, and there will always be more or less mention of an existence that represents knowledge and mystery.

He began to actively interfere with the extraordinary people on the "Peeper" path, affecting our hearts and beliefs, which also made this path more dangerous.

The Church of the "God of Steam and Machinery" has begun to pay attention to this matter. This may be some kind of sign of the war between gods.

You can no longer stay on the fringes of the Moss Trappist Order, as it is very dangerous for you if a war breaks out.

If you have time, you can come to Rasha recently. I will go to the depths of the Mist Sea soon. I don’t know when I will come back, or maybe I won’t come back.

Cattleya gently rubbed her fingers across the paper, and the letter suddenly burst into red flames, quickly turned into ashes, and was swept out of the window by a sudden gust of wind, scattering to the sparkling sea.

She walked to the desk and sat down, picked up a pen and paper and began to write a reply to Bernadette:

I have received an oracle from the Hidden Sage, as all members of the Ascetic Order of Moss should have received, who added to his title the description "the essence of all knowledge" and "the source of all mysteries"

Does this mean that he has truly mastered this path and become the "Hermit" of Sequence 0?

Also, why do you say this is some kind of sign of a war between gods? Could the "god of machines and steam" not tolerate the existence of a true god of adjacent paths?

At the end of the letter, she wrote: The "Future" has recently stayed in the northern part of the Suniya Sea. I will rush back to Rasha Island in the Misty Sea as soon as possible.

After writing the reply, she simply folded the paper, then stood up and quickly arranged the ceremony to summon the messenger.

At a moment when she didn't notice, the speedster who traveled through the spirit world emerged from the ritually created passage, walked around the captain's room a few times, and then picked up the folded letter on the table and returned to the spirit world.

Cattleya only felt a breeze blowing around her, and saw an extremely blurry figure flashing before her eyes.

When she looked down at the desk in front of her, the white letter paper folded there had disappeared.

Cattleya glanced at the closed spiritual world channel and whispered to herself:

"What exactly is the Queen's messenger? Perhaps only when I become a Sequence Four 'occultist' can I see it clearly under the eyes of the 'Peeping Eyes'."
