Mystery: Chaos Path

“It would be best to cooperate with Miss Coco Nut Tree and obtain related items from Her. Otherwise, I can only try hunting members of the Rose School or causing trouble for some demon families. It's a pity that the Bound God has already been ruined by the Mother Tree. Otherwise, using items related to Him would definitely be the best…”

Thinking this, Roland felt a little regretful, because the first two sequences used items related to the Angel King. Now, at most, he can only use ordinary Sequence 2 related materials, which always feels a bit imperfect.

“No, I can't get carried away! And it's not like there's absolutely no chance…” Roland muttered, certain plans flashing through his mind, but he wasn't in a hurry to implement them. After all, he's still far from advancing to Sequence 7.

No longer considering the matter of advancing to Sequence 7, Roland couldn't wait to experiment with his new abilities.

So, Roland found a mirror with great interest. After washing his face, he looked at his original, perfect features in the mirror, thought for a while, and began to make subtle adjustments.

A few minutes later, a handsome man with night-black curly hair and eyes as golden as the sun was freshly baked. After Roland's adjustments, his features were now more mature than before. If he originally looked like a young man in his early twenties, after the adjustments, he now looked about thirty, with more defined edges and a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes.

“Not bad, looking like this, I only resemble the original me by about fifty percent…” Roland nodded in satisfaction. Then, he found some cosmetics and skillfully applied them to his face. Before long, the man in the mirror, who originally bore some resemblance to Roland himself, looked like he had little to do with Roland anymore, to the extent that even looking closely, no one would connect the two.

Roland also carefully matched a set of mature men's clothing from the wardrobe. After putting it on, he took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from somewhere and put them on, which added a touch of refined scoundrel temperament to his whole person.

Roland then found a notebook that looked very ancient and mysterious, opened it, held it in one hand, and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with the other, nodding in satisfaction as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Roland then raised an eyebrow at the mirror, his smile frivolous with a hint of mockery. He slammed the notebook shut and bowed slightly to himself in the mirror, smiling and saying:

“Hello, Mr. Roland Zoroaster, I would like to invite you to be the protagonist of a new script, is that okay?”

He then restrained his mockery, looked at himself in the mirror, and revealed a gentle and bright smile, saying: "Isn't there a possibility, Mr. Lucifer, that I was already the protagonist."

That's right, Roland is now creating the appearance setting of "Lucifer Zoroaster."

As for the rest, it was the persona that Roland wrote for "Lucifer Zoroaster"—in Lucifer's persona, He was once a transmigrated youth who wanted to lie flat, but accidentally encountered Amon. Although he finally escaped Amon's clutches, his whole person was "Amonized" as a result, becoming a complete hedonist and pleasure-seeker.

Of course, in order to prevent the "Lucifer" persona from degenerating into a villain, Roland still set some moral bottom lines for him, belonging to the kind of hedonist with relatively high moral bottom lines.

At the same time, the existence of "Jack Jones" in the setting is also a line that holds "Lucifer" back from completely falling. The existence of "Jack Jones" reminds "Lucifer" that He was once a youth who grew up under the red flag. The lost countrymen from the same era therefore became "Lucifer's" last conscience, which is also very in line with the routine, isn't it?

“I hope the Qilingos incident won't be butterflied away. After all, this is the time I've scheduled for Lucifer Zoroaster's official debut, and it's also my first stage performance as an actor…”

Roland smiled, not knowing what he was thinking of. Then, he stretched and said: "But before that, it's better to join the Tarot Society first. I hope Miss Justice can act faster, I can't wait to obtain Mr. Fool's honored name…"

…

Roland's expectations were not in vain, because just two days later, Roland received an invitation from Viscount Glaint, who invited him, Fors, and Hugh to his home to discuss some mystical knowledge with him. As a reward, Viscount Glaint would take them to visit his own library.

This is a very reasonable invitation. As someone who has stepped into the extraordinary realm with half a foot, but is still just a newbie in the field of mysticism, it is too normal to want to learn some extraordinary knowledge from Roland and other veterans in the field of mysticism.

And as the saying goes, skills have specialties. As a noble family that has been passed down for a long time, even if there are not many books in the Glaint family's library that involve the field of mysticism, there must be many secret knowledge, history, etc. that ordinary people like Hugh and Fors don't know, which is very suitable for use as a reward.

It can be said that if Roland didn't already have a clue in his mind, he probably wouldn't have guessed that this invitation was Audrey's doing.

Roland naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure, and went to Viscount Glaint's villa with Hugh and Fors. After sharing a lot of knowledge in the extraordinary field with Viscount Glaint, who was extremely satisfied after listening, the three were led by Viscount Glaint to his own library.

“You can browse the books here at will, as long as there is no damage. If there are any that you particularly like and want to borrow back to read, you can, but remember to tell me in advance.” Viscount Glaint said very generously.

Roland and others naturally accepted with pleasure, and then dispersed to find books of interest in the library.

“Let me think, where would Audrey put Mr. Fool's honored name in which book, based on her understanding of 【Jack Jones】…" Roland's gaze swept over the rows of book titles on the bookshelf, and finally his gaze fell on one of them.

—《The Rise and Fall of the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Epoch》

Roland stepped forward and took out this book, which had obviously been touched by someone recently, and began to flip through it with a slightly interested expression. Soon, he saw a piece of paper clipped in the middle of the book.

No mistake, one poem, one hair, one inside, one content, one in, one look!

Roland deliberately showed a surprised expression, and took the paper in his hand as if curiously. After opening it, he saw a few lines of words on the paper, which were probably excerpts from a certain page of Russell's diary, which was a bit of a non sequitur, and below were a few lines written in Hermes text.

Roland pretended to be interested and carefully identified them, while whispering: "The Fool who does not belong to this era; the mysterious ruler above the gray fog; the King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck? Hey!"

He showed a dull expression, as if only after completely reciting the honored name did he realize what he was reciting. His eyes widened a lot, and he belatedly covered his mouth and looked around.
