Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 746: Kingdom of Night

After everyone shared their experiences in turn, it was soon the turn of "Star" Leonard to speak.

He first let out a long breath, then leaned against the back of his chair, looked at the "world" at the bottom, and said in a deep tone:
"Amon became the 'mistake'."

"Mistake?" "Justice" Audrey asked the same question that most people had.

"This is the name of Sequence 0 of the 'Thief' pathway. In addition to 'Error', Amon may also have the authority of the 'Gate' pathway. He will become a true god occupying two pathways."

The World, Gehrman Sparrow, spoke up to answer everyone's questions.

The Tarot meeting became quiet again, so quiet that even the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard.

After a moment of silent silence, Klein manipulated the trumpet "World" and continued speaking:

"You don't have to worry too much. Before he achieves his goal, he will basically not do anything too eye-catching and will not affect your life. Just like the seven gods in the past, he just exists."

Does this mean that after achieving his goal, Amon might do something that affects our lives?
The members of the Tarot Club looked at each other for a while, trying to digest the news that Amon would become a dual-path true god.

After a moment of silence, "Tank" Anderson spoke first, exclaiming in a joking tone:

"It's been an amazing week, but unfortunately, most of us can't even get into the auditorium."

The World, Gehrman Sparrow, replied with emotion: "This is not a bad thing. The more you know, the more you bear, and the more dangers you face."

"Chariot" Anderson shook his head and said:
"But at least we know why we live and why we die, rather than falling in a war that suddenly breaks out or in a disaster that breaks out for unknown reasons."

"Since becoming the 'Iron Knight', I suddenly have many feelings that I have never had before. I found that I always seem to be actively or passively involved in chaos and fighting, and because of this, I have seen many innocent people fall in the chaos."

Renekton turned his head to look at Anderson and found that his expression was a little solemn, as if he was really sighing and wondering from the bottom of his heart.

After thinking for a while, he continued:

"This is inevitable. The Red Priest path represents chaos, disaster, and war. As your sequence increases, you will inevitably move closer to this direction, attracting disasters while being attracted by them."

"Frequent exposure to wars and various disasters can easily leave people with some sequelae. Perhaps you need the guidance of a psychologist."

Audrey continued Renekton's words:
"Mr. White Tower is right. Especially in a world with various extraordinary powers, the battlefield is an excellent place to breed a 'mental plague'."

As a "manipulator", she could naturally detect the problems with "Tarot" Anderson. As a member of the Tarot Club, she still hoped that he would take it seriously and find a qualified psychologist as soon as possible to solve the hidden psychological problems.

Anderson nodded slightly and said with a sigh, "I understand. After I finish reading the books in the room, I will go find the archbishop I know to help me with some psychological counseling."

Audrey was a little confused. She didn't understand what the connection was between reading a book and seeking help to solve psychological problems. However, seeing the helpless but calm expression of "Tank" Anderson, she did not raise her doubts.

After a round of exchanges, this week's Tarot Club came to an end. After everyone stood up and saluted, deep red light rose up, dissolving the blurry figures in the palace. Only Klein and the projection he pulled out from the cracks in history remained.

At this time, Klein's figure suddenly changed. A thin layer of gray mist once again enveloped his body, and he seemed to be wearing a dark classical robe, appearing mysterious and strange.

Transparent, slippery tentacles stretched out from under the robe and slapped the surroundings wantonly.

Renekton and Roselle looked at each other, neither of them spoke. They sat quietly in their seats, their bodies inexplicably becoming ethereal, as if they did not exist, and could not be touched by those tentacles.

Ten seconds later, all the strange phenomena disappeared. The gray mist covering Klein and the classical black robe extending from his body disappeared. The slippery tentacles that were flapping randomly turned into spiritual insects and returned to his body.

After letting out a long breath, Klein looked at Renekton and Roselle and said:

"There are some issues with the characteristics of the 'Mysterious Servant' that was aggregated by the 'Source Castle'. The spiritual imprint of the Heavenly Lord in it is particularly active."

"If I hadn't been prepared and hadn't reclaimed Zaratul's characteristics and retained his spiritual imprint the moment I became the 'Servant of Mysteries', and if the identity of 'World' Gehrman Sparrow hadn't been playing the role of 'Servant of Mysteries', I would have lost control when I was promoted."

After a pause, he asked curiously, "You guys probably also have times when you feel crazy and uncontrollable. How do you usually get through it?"

Renekton's ethereal figure solidified again, and he answered casually, "As an information creature, I can merge with the information of this world. Even if I go crazy, no one will notice. Moreover, I have enough data backups, so I can adjust my status in the first place."

"But from a certain perspective, I am always going crazy, but the crazy part is suppressed by me and is difficult to show."

"This is a special feature of information creatures. The side effect of doing this is that my condition has always remained at a level that is neither good nor bad."

Roselle shrugged and said, "I'll lock myself up in the Kingdom of God and go crazy. I won't go crazy in front of others like you do. It will make me feel socially dead."

"." Klein expressed his speechlessness at the moment with his expression.

After two seconds of silence, he randomly found a topic to ask Russell, "Is it fun to participate in the Tarot Club?"

The latter leaned back in his chair, rubbing his chin with one hand and said:
"Well, it's somewhat similar to Adam's Twilight Hermit, but with a more relaxed vibe."

You also commented on it. Klein coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the topic:
"What plans do you have for finding Antigonus?"

"There is no way." Renekton shook his head, and then added:
"If He is an angel from another path, or He has not yet mastered the uniqueness, I can find Him by screening the information of the whole world. However, since He is the 'Servant of Mystery' who has mastered the uniqueness of The Fool, I cannot rely on screening the information to find Him."

Roselle nodded in agreement:
"Similarly, He can fool the rules and pass through various gaps between reality and concepts. I cannot find Him by distorting and exploiting the rules unless I can master the 'Kingdom of Disorder' and become the embodiment of all order."

Klein sighed. Although he expected these answers, he still felt helpless when he heard them.

"I have tried to find Him by relying on the aggregation effect of the 'Source Castle' on this path, but I still don't have any clues."

After thinking for a moment, Renekton reminded:

"Perhaps, you can try to look into the mist of history, the Kingdom of Night in the Fourth Epoch or even the Third Epoch, or the era when the ancient gods were active in the Second Epoch."

"In this era, there are no people and things that he is attached to, and there is no anchor. As an 'ancient scholar', looking back on the good memories of the past is also a way to strengthen his own humanity."

Klein's eyes lit up. Judging from his own experience, he felt that this was very possible. Just like when he became an "ancient scholar" and had abundant spirituality, he immediately went to the old days before the First Era.

In the basement of Saint Samuel Church in the western district of Backlund, Leonard sat in his office, telling Pales, who was parasitic in his body, about the news he had heard at the Tarot Club.

It was not until he stopped for a long time that Pales sighed:

"I roughly figured it out. It should be that after the previous 'Fool' recovered his power close to the level of a true god, he went straight to Zaratul and took away His characteristics."

"But at the same time, Amon went to the Hornachis Mountains ahead of him to awaken or directly kill Antigonus. Antigonus also relied on his ability to resurrect from the dead to get rid of his current crazy situation and escape from the Kingdom of Night sealed by the 'Night'."

"There is no anchor for Antigonus in this era. Relying solely on the secret doll will eventually cause problems. Perhaps it won't be long before Antigonus goes crazy again and is exposed."

"By then, the most intense conflict will break out between The Fool and Amon."

Leonard looked confused. Before the old man explained, he had never thought about so many things.

After a moment of silence, he murmured, “Amon helped Antigonus to prevent Mr. Fool from taking back his characteristics and authority? Then who do you think will win the fight between “He” and Mr. Fool now?”

Pales snorted unhappily.

“What else? He has already obtained the authority of the Gate. If he were to risk compatibility with the authority of The Fool, he would only lose control the moment he succeeds.”

"As for who will be the final winner, no one knows until the result comes out. This is not only a fight between them, but also perhaps a fight between the gods of the astral world and the 'True Creator'."

A certain historical fragment of the Third Age. Relying on the true history obtained from the "Goddess of Night", Klein finally illuminated this area, passed through the thick historical fog, and came to the Kingdom of Night in the third season.

As soon as he entered here, he saw the youngest son of the "Wolf of Destruction", now the Half Fool, Antigonus.

He sat quietly on a huge rock, like a passer-by, a bystander, silently watching the still bits and pieces in this historical spot.
