Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 205 Chapter 204 Meeting Gift

Fifth Era, September 513, 9, Monday.

In the spacious and bright tiered classroom, many people were either holding feather pens or, somewhat awkwardly, fountain pens, and were constantly writing back and forth on sheets of paper, writing furiously.

Sitting at the front of the lecture hall was a semi-giant figure who looked to be about two meters four or five meters tall. Behind him, an equally huge blackboard was inscribed with a string of words written in the ancient Hermetic language.

"Miskatonic University Ancient Hermetic Language, Professional Level Certification Exam."

More than a thousand people from all over the northern and southern continents, some extraordinary and some not, were scattered in the lecture halls, doing the same thing, except that the invigilators and the content written on the blackboard were different.

Ancient Hermetic, Giant, Dragon, Elvish and other languages ​​that can leverage the power of nature are things that people who step into the extraordinary world must master. For an extraordinary person, mastering one or even several of the above languages ​​should be the most basic operation at the low to medium sequence, even if they have just entered the circle of mysticism.

Among these more than a thousand people who came from all over the north and south continents, the vast majority were naturally just ordinary people. For these ordinary people who had not yet entered the extraordinary realm, they were naturally arranged to take the official language tests of various places.

The people of Loen spoke Loen, the people of Intis spoke Intis, and the people of Feysac spoke Feysac. As for those who had no idea how to write a language and could only read and listen, they were sent directly to the Marionettes of the Reader's Path to receive a crazy baptism of knowledge for a period of time until they could barely understand and write their native language.

After all, illiteracy is sometimes really scary. If you can't even understand the most basic native language, let alone go deeper and learn more about the world of mysticism.

Among the remaining extraordinary people, the vast majority are wild extraordinary people who have not received orthodox mystical education. Naturally, their mastery of the language that can leverage natural forces is uneven.

Taking such an exam to provide professional literacy training is obviously a very important factor.

"Language is the foundation of the foundation. Literacy campaigns are crucial, of course... Although communicating seamlessly within the realm of ritual magic is a miracle in itself, since we're all aiming to become Beyonders, if we continue to rely on the mystical bonuses brought by large-scale rituals..."

While spinning the globe on his office desk, Tang looked at the ever-changing topography on the globe while communicating with Nicholas, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and seemed to be overlooking the entire university.

Hearing his own Puppet Master muttering to himself, Nicholas pinched his monocle and turned his head, "Then I can directly 'send' the relevant knowledge into their brains."

"Those with extraordinary abilities in the corresponding fields of the Secret Peer, the Generalist, and the Reader Paths should also be able to do this."

"Forget it then." Tang supported his face with one hand, spun the globe, and muttered softly, "How can it be so easy? When I was learning those extraordinary languages, I was also half-dead..."

Now that you have the ability, you naturally have to give back to society, right?
If you get caught in the rain, do you have to hold an umbrella for others?
There's no such thing as this. Learn! Learn everything! If you don't die from learning, then learn until you die!
Nicholas was speechless for a moment. Sometimes he felt a little helpless about his own secret puppet master's idea of ​​"wanting to tear up other people's umbrellas after being caught in the rain."

Of course, this little thing wasn't something that this Sequence 1 angel needed to worry about.

"Okay… When are you planning on going to the Hornachis Mountains?"

The miracle worker's potion was similar to that of the ancient scholar. After Tang had dealt with Amon, a Sequence 1 who had survived from an ancient era, challenged the impossible, and performed a miracle, this part of the potion had been naturally digested. The next step was to consider the issue of advancement to Sequence 1.

"Ah, well, regarding the Sequence 1 advancement issue, I'm planning to consider it together with the BUG simplified advancement ceremony."

As Tang spoke, he put down the globe in his hand and stood up. "When I advance to Sequence 1, I plan to try to accommodate the uniqueness of the Diviner's Path. At that time, you will replace my fate, accommodate Amon's monocle, and directly become the Angel King of the Wrong Path 2+1."

At this point, Tang sighed. "Promoting to Sequence 0 isn't a safe bet in this era, and no Angel King has had the opportunity to achieve godhood recently. Unless we confront the Chaos Sea and the Dark Angels again, attempt to obtain the first Blasphemous Slate, replicate Amon's path to godhood, and sacrifice Mr. Men."

Although the thief's three copies of Sequence 1 and uniqueness are all with him... Oh, no, there is another copy with the old man...

Emmm, at least people can't, or at least shouldn't.

"As for being a mistake, well, let's just accept the uniqueness of the mistake first. I don't know what role Adam played in Amon's peculiarities being exposed, but strengthening our powers won't be a problem anyway."

After asking this question, Tang added, "Oh, by the way, those who need to make up for their language problems will all be sent to Tingen University after the exams are over."

The two universities in Tingen were established by Owen Ramd when he was the governor of Tingen. In the entire city of Tingen, 20% of the people are alive, 10% are dead, ghost stories and monsters, and the remaining 70% are secret dolls.

Hoy University and Tingen University can be said to be the places with the strongest human presence in Tingen at present. After all, those who come from other places will not be hung up as secret puppets unless they make any principled mistakes.

Ah, as for sending people to Tingen, what kind of strange associations will this make these people have... Tang is not afraid of being exposed. After detaining Eternal Sun, Craftsman, Storm and other official extraordinary people of the Orthodox Church, he did not think of hiding.

"I can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever. With the Church of Evernight backing me up, as long as it doesn't involve real faith issues, and I'm not some extraordinary person who believes in evil gods, then the major righteous churches and angel families won't unite and attack Tingen directly."

Especially since Nicolas Flamel, the Sequence 1 Time Worm, is in Tingen.

Just like before, even if he arrived in Trier in Intis, facing the angels of the Royal Family of Sauron, the Eternal Sun and the Church of the Craftsmen, those angels were reluctant to offend him since they were not on the same path and there were not many potential dangers.

When the gods were still blocking the cracks in the barrier in the starry sky, Sequence 1 was the top combat force on the planet.

As for Tang himself, the actual controller of Tingen City? He estimated that only the Pope of the Church of the Evernight Goddess knew that there was someone behind Nicola Flamel. Besides, even if he was exposed, what kind of villain was he? He didn't believe in evil gods.

It's just that my future self seems to be an "evil god", it's a small problem, all small problems.

What's wrong between my future self and my present self?
"As for the problem of faith and anchor, that's easier to solve. The marionette is my anchor. They are all people who either believe in evil gods or are completely rotten. I believe the old seniors shouldn't care about these people's faith." Moreover, after becoming a miracle worker and having complete use and control over the Euclidean space, the power of the past, present and future also made Tang's own faith play a similar role as an anchor.

The me in the past believed in myself, the me in the present believes in myself, and the me in the future will also believe in myself.

Every hour, every minute, every second, through observation and interference with the past, present and future, an effective anchor point can be formed to assist the secret anchors in the real world and the sapling-like things that have initially revived in his spiritual body. It is not difficult to suppress the consciousness of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun in his body.

"If I were to be promoted to a Mystical Attendant in my situation and accommodate Uniqueness, even if the original consciousness of a Celestial Venerable exceeded the strength of a normal Sequence 1 and Uniqueness, I would be able to handle it."

Unless he gathered all the unique characteristics of the three Gou families and the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1 in a short period of time, otherwise, with so many anchor points and a sufficiently special situation, the probability of him going completely crazy is almost zero, just like Amon running in front of him and dancing a ballet in circles.

Nicholas propped up the bottom rim of his monocle with his knuckles and had no objection to Tang's idea.

"You've already digested the Sequence 2 potion. Before we head to the Hornachis Mountains, I think the Evernight Goddess will have someone from the church look for you soon. Do you need me to deal with you?"

"After all, He has this tendency to make you the Lord of Mysteries."

In the previous future self, in the battle to kill Amon and take back the uniqueness and a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, he reached a deal with the Goddess of Night.

With the development of Miskatonic University and the support of the Church of Evernight, as well as the attitude of the Goddess herself in the Alliance of Righteous Gods, the direct help of this god in certain situations and some other details as bargaining chips, in exchange for Tang Weilai's solution to the former god of death, his grandfather who was dead but seemed to be alive, and indirectly help this god in charge of "secrets" to master the source of the three eternal paths and the uniqueness of the path of the god of death.

As chips on the table, they are actually just some trivial matters that are not difficult for the goddess, so the reward for equal exchange is not that Tang helps the goddess control the tributaries of the River of Everlasting Darkness or gives the uniqueness of the path to the god of death, but only helps locate the tomb of the god of death Salinger in the Violent Sea and resolve the influence exerted by the other party there.

As for the uniqueness of the path to death, that is another price to pay.

Although the birth of the Lord of Mysteries was not actually involved here, Tang thought that the Goddess of Night had already known his "identity".

Ah, of course, it should still be a fake identity, a fake 'survivor of the old days', the real 'book traveler'.

"Just as He said, even if I am a fake, I still bear the marks of that era. However, I think the goddess's expectations will be in vain."

After advancing to Sequence 2, he had a premonition that there was a path for him called "Supreme." Although this path allowed him to have authority similar to that of a Diviner or Apprentice, Pillar was already the highest level at which his own state could be stabilized.

"I became the Lord of Mysteries. There was only one outcome: my malice, which crazily devoured other Essences, rapidly expanded. Eventually, like the Celestial Lords and Gods who controlled multiple Essences, I would either perish or reclaim all other authority and fully revive."

The Lord of Mysteries pillar plus any other extraordinary power similar to the source of essence will lead to madness or destruction, which are the only two possible outcomes.

This is the underlying rule of the world of mysticism, a rule that even a being like the 'Book Traveler' cannot break.

"So the highest level can only be Sequence 1. I can't be the Lord of Mysteries."

Tang exhaled and collapsed on the high-back chair again, his body twisted and limp into a position that was not possible for a human. Transparent insects with bits of bright light emerged from his open palms, growing one slippery tentacle after another.

"Ah, of course, Nicholas, if you want to become the Lord of Mysteries, I have no objection."

Nicholas shook his head. "The Bionic Marionette module's peak performance can only sustain it up to Sequence 0. If I become the Lord of Mysteries, the most likely scenario is that the Celestial Lord's consciousness will completely replace me."

Tang spread his hands. "So there's nothing we can do. Let the Goddess find someone else... But regarding this, I think I can talk to Her about it. After all, what place is like Tingen for training the Lord of Mysteries?"

There are extraordinary powers of high levels of the Gou Sanjia pathway everywhere, secret puppets everywhere, and there is also an Angel King like Nicholas. The extraordinary characteristics alone should be able to directly aggregate Xiao Ke, who came down from Source Castle and also has a Sequence 1 Mystical Servant extraordinary characteristic.

And after Xiao Ke comes down and learns the truth, his expression must be very interesting, right?
"How can this not be considered serving the secret servant?"

Tang couldn't help laughing. Nicola propped up the bottom edge of his monocle again, looking at the often abnormal mental state of his own puppet master, he felt sympathy for the future 'Lord of Mysteries' and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's talk about business."

Tang got up from the high-back chair and readjusted his expression. He looked at the globe on the table and said, "Doe, Bazel and Evans, they should have reached their destination."

"Yes."

The three people Tang mentioned were the secret puppets that had appeared in the cafeteria before and were in an abnormal state. At the same time, they were also selected by Nicola and Tang to be used for the opening song of Miskatonic University's official appearance on the stage.

"This powerful demigod is an investigator from a secret organization. Consider this a small gift to the Storm Church, the Artisan Church, and other Orthodox Churches."

At this moment, in a city-state in Jianhai County, the Kingdom of Loen, three figures wearing slim-fitting combat uniforms that were somewhat out of tune with the current era and showing almost no abnormalities appeared outside a city.

"According to the data, Freddy Robert, a famous collector in Jianhai County, spent 8 gold pounds to purchase some antiques from the antique dealer Hobbs Berry a month ago, in early August. The purchase included a suit of armor that was said to be cursed."
