Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1316 It’s all mine!

"I was going to say you came at a bad time, but that would have felt a little weird."

Roselle, still wearing black armor with his crown almost touching the ceiling, said in a teasing tone, glancing at Angel, leaving the latter with a puzzled look.

Klein laughed again. He felt as if he had gone back in time and was having a face-to-face conversation with his fellow villager in the mausoleum.

At that time, He also let me take some advantage of him... Fortunately, He was truly resurrected and became the "Black Emperor", not bringing shame to the "travelers"... No, to be honest, among all the travelers, only Angel and I have not become gods yet. We are the ones who are embarrassed, especially me... Klein's mind was racing, and he glanced at Angel involuntarily. He found that she looked around with a somewhat lonely expression, as if she still didn't understand the other meaning of her conversation with Roselle.

Bernadette and Bonois were also curious about the relationship between their father and this "crazy adventurer". They had already known from various channels that German Sparrow had become an angel, but he had only become famous in the past two years, and there was no way he could have had any connection with Roselle, who had been assassinated more than a hundred years ago.

Could it be related to the kind of text that only my father and Mr. Fool can understand... The last time, the Golden Queen also stayed in the mausoleum for a long time... Bernadette speculated doubtfully, and her eyes also returned to Angel, making the latter feel quite uncomfortable.

Humph, you're saying something I don't understand again. I'll deal with you when I get back... Being locked in by the gazes of several people, Angel became more and more annoyed. He simply connected the mirror space and poured out the spoils he had collected before, spreading them all over the floor of the room as if to show off. All kinds of strange seals and flashing extraordinary characteristics left them with almost no place to stand. Even Bonois, who had an indifferent expression and only looked at his father from time to time, was surprised.

Seeing that the aggregation effect between these extraordinary characteristics was gradually emerging and tended to gather towards the indifferent eye without eyelashes, Roselle's projection raised his hand calmly and "distorted" the relationship between them, allowing these characteristics and sealed objects that had not been initially sealed to quickly stabilize.

Bonova, who was an angel of the "General Knowledge", quickly identified the situation of the loot and said quickly in a tone that could not conceal his emotions:
"This is the uniqueness of the Hermit pathway. There is also a Sequence 1 Knowledge Emperor trait, a Sage trait, and in addition..."

Following His introduction, the unhappiness in Angel's heart quickly disappeared, and was replaced by joy.

When she was collecting the spoils in the "Utopia", she only made a rough identification and took away anything that looked valuable. She was mentally prepared for the profit from robbing an entire family of a secret sect, but when she actually learned about her gains, she still felt like she was in a dream.

Including the silver water bottle that Toriopo used to summon the miniature sun and the asymmetrical mask worn by Letitia, the Moss Ascetic Order has a total of three Level 0 sealed objects. The last one was found by Angel in the secret room where magical objects are sealed in the "Utopia". It looks like a parchment book with a slightly old cover. There are no words or symbols on the surface, only mercury-colored light constantly surging inside.

It is called the "Book of Post-Apocalypse". Like the silver flask "Destined to be Mad", and the black and gold mask "Mask of Solomon", it is a thousand-year-old inheritance of the Morse Ascetic Order. Even the "Hermit" Cattleya only knows the name and its general origin, but is not clear about its specific function.

Of course, with the analysis of a "sage" and a "knowledge mentor", Angel quickly got their information.

"Destined Madness" is the product of an original member of the Moss Ascetic Order losing control. It is formed by a set of "Sage" extraordinary characteristics that include all previous sequences. According to records, three saints in the Ascetic Order have tried to use this seal to become angels, but they all lost control or mutated into monsters within the next three hundred years. After their death, the remaining characteristics will form a seal again, and the cycle will repeat, hence the name.

Its main purpose is to "mysteriously reproduce" certain legends, turning these scenes, characters and behaviors into powerful magic. Compared with the knowledge and legends recorded by ordinary mystics, the content recorded in "Destined Madness" will not become invalid because it is widely known and no longer mysterious. Instead, it will spontaneously form a kind of "concealment", making it difficult for these legends to spread.

The "Mask of Solomon" is the product of the Beyonder Characteristics of a certain "Duke of Entropy" after his death during the Four Emperors' War and the mask he wore. It was obtained by the Moss Ascetic Order during the chaos of the war. Its distorted left and right faces correspond to disordered madness and the majesty of order respectively. It can not only distort distance, position, and thoughts, but also strengthen strength and size, making enemies weaker than themselves want to surrender.

Once the mask is actually put on, the user's face will gradually merge with the mask, and eventually the body will be taken over by a certain crazy consciousness inside. During this period, the user can "distort" not only an object in reality, but even laws and authority.

The "Post-Apocalypse" is the "prophet" feature of Destiny Path Sequence 2. It comes from an age older than the establishment of the "Moss Ascetic Order". It is said that it was formed when an angel from the Destiny Path predicted the coming of the end of the world and died out of control. Because the effects are difficult to control and the side effects are huge, it has been sealed in Utopia for a long time and almost no one uses it.

It is not offensive in itself, but will intermittently and randomly open itself, revealing predictions on the inner pages whose true or false are unknown. Even if it is a false prediction, as long as someone believes it and makes preparations for it or tries to avoid it, it will become true. In addition to displaying content spontaneously, users can also use their thoughts to write predictions about someone or something on it, which has a high probability of coming true, or at least achieving a similar effect.

A low- to mid-sequence Beyonder without divinity who holds the "Post-Apocalypse Book" will immediately be afflicted with bad luck and die miserably in a short period of time. Even a high-sequence Beyonder with divinity can only avoid this effect within an hour, and will gradually become unfortunate afterwards.

In addition to the three level 0 seals, the Moss Ascetic Order also collected nine level 1 seals, more than twenty level 2 and level 3 seals, and many extraordinary materials with spiritual properties.

In addition, there is the uniqueness of the Hermit Path from the "Hidden Sage" and a Sequence 1 "Knowledge Emperor", the "Sage" characteristic from President Toriobo, and several low- and medium-sequence characteristics extracted from wizards who died at Angel's hands. It is worthy of being an old secret organization established in the Fourth Era, with rich heritage and amazing collections... As long as I can get a part of it, my church can expand a path, not just limited to "Witches" and "Red Priests"... Angel, who had just copied the "Witch Sect" and received all the seals and witches, had bright eyes, and kept calculating in his heart. Suddenly, he frowned and asked in confusion:
"Does the 'Moss Ascetic Order' have too many Sealed Artifacts belonging to its own path?"

The reason why she asked this was that among the nine level 1 sealed objects, five of them belonged to the "Hermit" path, including two "Masters of Prophecy" and three "Mystics". The same was true for two-thirds of the level 2 and 3 sealed objects.

You know, whether it is the Orthodox Church or organizations like the "Witch Sect" and "Aurora Society", they all tend to retain extraordinary characteristics for member promotion rather than collect them as seals. After all, in the same sequence, the combat power of two saints is far stronger than one saint plus a level 1 seal, and there is no negative effect.

Hearing Angel's question, Bernadette, who founded the "Elemental Dawn" to fight against the Moss Ascetic Order, answered in a gentle voice:

“In recent years, the actions of hidden sages instilling knowledge and influencing the advancement of extraordinary people of the same path have become more and more frequent. Even members of the Moss Ascetic Order who have mastered relatively safe methods of listening to whispers and absorbing knowledge find it difficult to resist this erosion, and the probability of losing control has greatly increased.

"This has led to many wizards no longer choosing to advance to the next level after stabilizing their own status. Their 'pillars' have also been maintained at a number of ten people, and the remaining demigod characteristics can only be preserved in the form of sealed objects."

I see... As the end of the world approaches, the consciousness and spirit of the "Prime Creator" fades, and promotion should become easier and safer. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of the "Hermit" path has been activated to become an evil god, which has caused the probability of them losing control to be much higher than other paths... Klein said that the "Hermit" was dragged into the gray fog and became a member of the Tarot Club because he was chased away by knowledge and almost lost control... Angel's thoughts flowed in his mind, and he sighed:

"Now that they don't have to worry about the indoctrination and whisperings of the Hidden Sage, those wizards may have a chance to return to normal."

"I hope so," Bernadette nodded slightly and said, "I will have Elemental Dawn track down the Ten Pillars who are not in Utopia today. Cattleya will also investigate these wizards who have escaped death and accept those who are not bad by nature, or place them in various industries to make use of the knowledge in their brains."

As the end of the world approaches, every bit of combat power is precious... Angel had no objection to this arrangement, and instead began to discuss how to distribute the "trophies" in front of him.

The uniqueness of the "Hidden Sage" path undoubtedly belongs to the "God of Steam and Machinery". This is the fundamental reason why Angel and Klein were able to unite several gods to send the "Hidden Sage" on the road. Moreover, the fact that they were able to easily defeat this evil god who was good at hiding in this battle was also thanks to the positioning of the God of Steam, and He was naturally able to participate in the distribution.

Even the "Black Emperor" Roselle, who had been betrayed and assassinated, had no objection to this matter.

"The uniqueness will be handed over to Mr. Bonova, who will take it directly back to the church in Trier and offer it to his own gods. However, the characteristics of the 'Knowledge Emperor' should be handed over to the God of Steam through another channel. Otherwise, it may not be good for Mr. Bonova..."

Angel said, looking a little hesitant.

Roselle, who was wearing a crown and whose figure was translucent because it was a projection rather than a physical entity, smiled and interjected:
“Are you worried that Bonois might be tempted to become the king of the angels of the adjacent pathway?
"The 'Steam God' does not need additional Sequence 1 characteristics. He is one of the founders of the Moss Ascetic Order and was also an angel of the 'Hermit' path."

The God of Steam, Yorgos Stiano, was actually a member of the Moss Ascetic Order, and the founder... He left because of the activation of the "Hidden Sage", and because there was no hope of becoming a god through this path, he jumped to the "Universal", that is, the "Perfect One" of Sequence 1? No wonder the Goddess of Night said that He became a god before he had time to digest the Sequence 1 potion. This was really hasty, and very lucky. After all, that was the Fourth Era when the "Original" spirit had not yet dissipated... Angel muttered, and understood the meaning of Roselle's words:
The "God of Steam" has already prepared the characteristics of the "Emperor of Knowledge", and they can keep the one from the hidden sage!
She glanced at Klein and saw him nod slightly, then turned to Russell and said:

"Then I'll leave this Sequence 1 characteristic to you."

Not only would this allow Bernadette, who had already become a "sage", to have a ticket to Sequence 1, it would also allow her to separate the Sequence 2 and below characteristics contained therein, giving Cattleya the opportunity to become an angel.

Hearing this, Russell nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Then we will not participate in the distribution of the remaining spoils."

This great emperor and "fellow countryman" is indeed a "daughter slave" as Klein said... Angel muttered in his heart, and swept his burning eyes over the pile of Beyonder Characteristics and Seals on the ground.

These are all mine!
