Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

"This is not something that needs to be kept secret." "The Hermit" Cattleya nodded in response, and then told the fairy tale she interpreted:

"There are many magical animals living in the rich black forest. Some of them are cunning and ferocious wolves, some are tall savages, some are beautiful bats, and some are lizards who are good at hiding themselves."

"One day, the silent strange bird discovered a large river flowing through the forest. The strange bird had never seen a river in the forest before. It found it very strange, so it tried its best to dig out a shallow river in the forest. The shallow ditch is connected to the river outside the forest, allowing the river water to flow into the forest along the ditch. From then on, there is river water in the forest, which will take away the fallen leaves and water the trees. "

"This story is very short and belongs to an inconspicuous page in a magazine. I didn't pay attention to it at first. I accidentally got a hint of inspiration from the crew's conversation and thought of the ancient legend I heard from an elder. It interprets and draws power from the occult knowledge contained in the story to create strange magic."

A somewhat strange story, with a sense of absurdity and weirdness, a little unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you feel that it is an exquisite metaphor. "Magician" Forsi put his hands on the edge of the table and listened very clearly. Focus.

As a best-selling novel writer, she was very interested in this story style that was different from the mainstream. After listening to Ms. "Hermit"'s story, she became curious about the author who wrote this story. She didn't know how to write it. The person in this story is a child who is still a little naive, but he is also a wise elder who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

The short story, straightforward narrative style, sounds like a children's book. Is it to reduce the difficulty of reading? "Justice" Audrey was thinking curiously. This was the first time she heard a story of this style.

"A strange story, like describing a ridiculous dream." "Star" Leonard directly expressed his feelings. Then he looked at "Hermit" Cattleya and asked curiously:

"What legend or ancient history does this story correspond to?"

"It has something to do with the 'ancestor of the phoenix' Gregory." After a slight pause, Cattleya looked around at everyone in the Tarot Club before continuing:

"In some ancient legends, this ancient god opened up the underworld somewhere in the spiritual world, but according to my elder's description, the underworld is just a by-product of Gray Carrie's actions. What he really wants to do is Create a unique river."

This was what she heard from the "Queen of Mysteries" when she was on board the "Dawn". It was said that it was discovered by Emperor Russell in an ancient ruins in the southern continent.

"Ancient God Gregory?" Everyone in the Tarot Club subconsciously looked at Derrick "The Sun" who was sitting on the right side of the mottled long table.

Noticing everyone's gazes, Derrick thought briefly and then shook his head and said:

"I don't know. Silver City doesn't have many records about ancient gods. It only mentions that this 'ancestral phoenix' opened up the underworld."

"Justice" Audrey moved her gaze to Renekton, who was sitting next to Derrick, and asked with a certain tone:

"Mr. 'Baita', you should know, right?"

"I know." Renekton nodded slightly without explaining more.

I just know it, but I don't want to share it. No, I hope that we can interpret the hidden content ourselves like the "Hermit" lady.

After a brief analysis, Audrey looked at Renekton and said with a smile:

"Mr. White Tower, can I order some newspapers and magazines from Clock Tower Press?"

Renekton nodded and said:

"Yes, actually you can buy these in Backlund soon. With the support of the Church of the Night, the books from the Southern Continent will soon be spread to Loen."

"I thought the relationship between the Southern Continent and the Kingdom would be relatively stiff now."

Audrey was a little surprised, but quickly figured out that the kingdom and the church were not the same.

As the topic of discussion came to an end, Derrick "The Sun" finally found the opportunity and asked:

"Everyone, my promotion to the 'Priest of Light' requires me to bury my whole body in pure darkness in ice that will not melt normally. However, in Silver City, exposing yourself to the darkness is a very dangerous move. It may cause harm." If you disappear directly, you may be attacked by monsters.”

Leonard opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say that pure darkness is very easy to create, but the words behind "The Sun" made him decisively stop blurting out the words. Is the darkness in the Forsaken Land so dangerous?

After two seconds of silence, seeing that no one answered Derrick the Sun's question, Renekton raised his hand and knocked on the table, stretched out two fingers and said:

"There are two ways. One is to actively accept the pollution in the darkness, transform yourself into a monster in the darkness, and be protected by the 'fallen' authority. You will not disappear in the darkness, nor will you be attacked by other monsters. In this way, all darkness will become pure darkness."

"The second method is to create darkness with a temporary dream world, allowing the spirit body to accept the protection of the 'dream'. This can effectively slow down the erosion of darkness, and the duration should be enough for you to complete a promotion."

"As for how to complete the promotion while sleeping, your Silver City should have a way to do it."

Klein, whose figure was shrouded in thick gray fog, frowned slightly, and the thoughts in his mind floated one after another through the darkness of the temporary dream world. This is a bit like the ocean where the ruins of the God War evolved. At night there, If you cannot enter the dream world, you will disappear directly. What is the connection between the two?

Also thinking about the ocean where the ruins of the God War evolved were "Hermit" Cattleya and "Chariot" Anderson who had been there.

The former glanced at Renekton thoughtfully, and the latter asked decisively:

"Is this the reason why in the ocean where the ruins of the God War evolved, the night will disappear if you don't get started in time? What does it have to do with the Land Abandoned by the Gods?"

"They all originate from the remnants of the goddess of night's power." Renekton responded calmly.

"What about the monsters born in the darkness of the Land Abandoned by Gods?" "Hermit" Cattleya asked.

Renekton glanced at Derrick the Sun, who was sitting on his right, and then said:

"The influence left over from the Creator who believes in the City of Silver. He himself holds the authority over shadow, corruption, darkness, filth, etc., representing the dangers in the darkness and allowing darkness to breed monsters."

The expression on Derrick the Sun's face was blank for a moment, but he quickly sorted out his emotions and asked in a sincere tone:

"Mr. White Tower, do you know how to create darkness with temporary dreams?"

Renekton and "The World" looked at "Star" Leonard at the same time. The latter was startled for a moment, then coughed lightly and said calmly:

"It's very simple. I can make you a spell, but there is no guarantee that it can fight against your darkness. What you just described sounds very dangerous."

"Star" is a member of the Church of the Night, or was. "Justice" Audrey, "Hermit" Cattleya, "The Hanged Man" Alger and "Chariot" Anderson flashed this thought in their minds at the same time.

"Sun" Derrick subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the top of the mottled long table. Mr. "Fool" responded, "There should be no problem, right?" Thinking of this, he looked at "Star" Leonard and sincerely thanked:

"I understand, Mr. Star, thank you very much for your help."

Being thanked so solemnly made Leonard a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand and responded with a chuckle:

"It's nothing too troublesome."

After solving the problem of the little sun, everyone in the Tarot Club went on to share other content.

Time passed little by little until "The Fool" Klein announced that today's Tarot Club was over. After everyone stood up and saluted, rays of crimson light rose up, taking everyone away from the space above the gray mist.

After the Tarot meeting, Klein prepared a ritual to communicate with the seven lights in the spirit world in the room. He was going to seek some information from El Moria, the "red light" who has knowledge about creatures and locations in the spirit world. help.

The placed candles were lit, and then herbal powder and hydrosol were sprinkled into them. The light herbal fragrance filled the room.

"'Red Light' shouldn't mind that these ritual materials were just randomly gathered by me."

After whispering to himself, he took a step back, clasped his hands, and recited in a low voice in ancient Hermetic:

"The eternal light of the spiritual world, the embodiment of endless knowledge, the red of power and will."

As soon as he finished reciting the honorary name, and before he had time to express his needs, Klein felt a huge will coming along the connection of the ritual, as if he was preparing to break through the spiritual world and descend into reality.

After noticing the actions of "Red Light" El Moria, Klein calmly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shook it out.

A whimpering cold wind suddenly blew between the candles in the center of the ceremony. The paper figure hovered in the air for a while, and a deep red light burst out from the candles and fell on the paper figure, covering it with a deep layer of light. The red robe slowly fell to the ground.

Klein bowed slightly towards the paper man who suddenly put on a crimson robe and became extremely majestic:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Al Moria."

The "red light" El Moria who possessed the paper man saluted very solemnly and responded:

"Good afternoon, Your Highness, congratulations on taking a big step back to your highest position."

Klein nodded lightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

"Okay, Your Highness." After a pause, as if he could see that Klein was still confused, El Moria continued to add:

"Our Seven Lights are very close to the gray fog, so we also saw some changes above the gray fog, and saw the aura gradually recovering on your body,"

"Your Highness, do you have any questions you want to ask me?"
