"My name is Hermes."

"Many ritual magics in later generations and the occult language you use were created by me and named after me."

The old man, who was wearing a gray and white robe, had an ordinary appearance and had thick white hair, said with a slightly proud tone.

...It's not Adam, it's Hermes...is it really the Hermes who has survived from the Second Age to the present and created the ancient Hermes language? That is an extraordinary language that is still unique to humans and can resonate stably with spiritual power... Is it really me? Sure enough, He is an angel of the "spectator" path, an important member of the Twilight Hermits, and can even be said to be one of the sources of the Psychological Alchemy Society...

Klein could not tell or guess the age of this ancient angel. He could only say that in front of him, the gods and angels of the Fourth Age, Amon, Adam, the Six Gods of that time and even the ancient Sun God might... They are all His juniors!

"Hello……"

Klein admired him from the bottom of his heart and said hello to him.

But...here, I just want to consult the "Black Saint" about the land abandoned by the gods. How did I attract this angel?

This is an incredible big shot!

Klein looked doubtfully at the "Black Saint" who had too dark hair and eyes. The latter was still dressed like a seasoned ascetic monk. When he saw Klein looking at him, he took the initiative to nod towards him.

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Klein had no choice but to look at Hermes again. He was about to consider his words before asking, when suddenly he felt blessed and a light flashed in his brain——

Hermes once invented the ancient Hermetic language and was a pioneer in trying medicine on his own. He must have great goodwill and recognition for mankind;

Hermes was born in the Second Age and later followed the ancient Sun God, whose main parish was in the Eastern Continent;

Could it be that His sudden appearance this time was the spiritual perception of an angel, or that He had foreseen something and wanted to go to the Eastern Continent with me?

He probably just showed his "sudden realization" expression. Sitting on the sofa opposite, the white-haired Hermes smiled: "It seems that you have guessed my purpose."

...worthy of being an "audience."

Klein felt as if he had been completely seen through, and that no idea could be hidden from the other person's eyes.

As an angel of this path, He can easily read the emotions of people around me and guide them. He can also accurately influence others with my own expressions, movements and even body language at any time, thereby achieving my own goals. This path is best at playing with people's hearts. Klein couldn't help but start to think about whether Hermes took the initiative to show off his achievements and charm as soon as he came out. Was this intentional?

"Sorry, young man, if I choose to become an angel through this path, I will inevitably have similar problems."

Seemingly sensing Klein's complicated mood, Hermes humorously made a joke about himself: "However, you are right, the purpose of my coming here is to recommend myself."

"Although I already know that you plan to go alone, I still want to join."

It's hard to really dislike an elder with such a personality. Klein didn't feel the power of comfort, but he couldn't help but laugh, and his mood became slightly more relaxed - indeed, wasn't Hermes' opening statement the same? What does it matter if you deliberately want to arouse your favor? Regardless of his deeds or his intentions, Hermes had made so many contributions, and it was not disadvantageous to him. There was no need to be too nervous.

Well, I still have accumulated too much stress during this period... I really need to find a reliable psychiatrist to talk to...

Klein's eyes wandered for a moment, and he remembered that the only psychiatrist he trusted seemed to be "Justice" Audrey.

And Audrey is only Sequence 5 now. Not to mention her limited abilities, she has never experienced anything similar to Klein and cannot even imagine it. Of course, Klein will not think that he comes from an ancient era before the First Epoch and was killed by an angel. Tell her about the hunt by the gods.

Not talking to the psychiatrist will result in the treatment methods Audrey can provide becoming quite limited, which may not be very effective.

Although the old Mr. Hermes standing in front of me is obviously a better psychiatrist, he just gets along well with him. Talking and cooperating with Mr. Hermes is one thing, but showing his troubles and part of his heart to the other person is another. That's another story.

"Thanks you."

Klein thought for a while and quickly agreed. The increase in one's own strength always makes people feel reassured: "I originally planned to go alone. If you are willing to go with me, it will be an honor for me."

Hearing these words, Hermes seemed to relax and became relaxed:

"Haha, you are the favored one of the Creator, a Saint of Sequence 3. You only need to take one step further to ascend to the position of god. Now this step is about to be taken. As an elder and your future colleague, I'm a bit shameless when I come to recommend myself to you."

When Klein heard his hint, his heart suddenly moved:

Hermes sounds like he knows the promotion ceremony of the "Miracle Master"!

He knows my path and can also see that I am going to the Eastern Continent this time to complete the ceremony to be promoted to "Miracle Master"!

Then will he know the name, formula and ritual of the Sequence One potion? Two high-sequence "seers" have built a weird marionette town, as well as the mysterious "Peach Blossom Spring" in ancient times. What are the requirements for this, and how should it be done?

Klein's heartbeat accelerated. He was sure that Hermes could see his thoughts, but he still hinted back calmly:

"You are serious. You are a pioneer of mysticism and a pioneer worthy of respect. I also hope to get more guidance from you."

A smile appeared on Hermes' ordinary and old face, and he nodded towards Klein:

"Perhaps this journey will make us all very satisfied."

The journey will satisfy us all... Klein tried to figure out the meaning of this sentence, not sure whether this was Hermes's answer—whether he was saying that the clues to the Sequence One potion formula and the promotion ceremony were hidden in Eastern Continent?

What would satisfy Him? It is very likely that the door to the land abandoned by the gods will be successfully opened.

Is this a prophecy from an angel? prophecy? Isn't He an audience?

By the way, in the legend, He "tested the medicine on his own body to find an extraordinary path." Since he did not lose control, it is very likely that He is a mixed angel of the five paths, and is not a single "audience"!

Hmm... is there a sequence similar to "Prophet" in the "Reader" path?

Klein thought about it and felt that among the five adjacent pathways, only the "reader" looked the most like having the authority to prophesy.

Having said this, Klein had a new question. He couldn't help but be curious, and he showed the politeness when communicating with "Red Light":

"Mr. Hermes, I would like to boldly ask you a question."

"Please say it." Hermes seemed to start competing with him about who was more polite like "Red Light".

With permission, Klein glanced at the "Black Saint" who had begun to close his eyes and meditate, and was muttering the Creator's prayer in his mouth as if no one else was watching, and asked slowly: "Why...why did you choose Are you promoted through the 'audience' route?"

Hermes smiled and replied:

“This approach allows me to examine myself at any time, confirm myself, and maintain ‘my’ self-awareness in a clear state.”

"I believe you also know that 'appeasement' can reduce the side effects of potions, alleviate the schizophrenia caused by the mental imprint left behind in the extraordinary characteristics, stabilize oneself, and find oneself again amid the impact of divinity and humanity."

"I don't have any lofty ambitions, and I don't aim to become a god, so this angel path is the most suitable for me."

So that's it... Klein nodded in realization.

The probability of the "audience" losing control is relatively low, but it is also very likely that they will not realize that they are out of control at all, just like the "psychiatrist" Klein met in the mental hospital when he was still in Tingen.

He was clearly a "psychiatrist", but he chose to become a patient and ended up going crazy.

Huh?

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hermes, I have another question."

Klein's breathing quickened and he suddenly asked: "In the third era, far... the Creator was the true god of the 'audience' pathway, and the most powerful and best psychiatrist and audience in the world. Is that true?"

Leomaster opened his eyes and looked at the favored one with a puzzled look.

The smile on Hermes's face decreased slightly. He arbitrarily evaluated the gods and speculated on his will. This sentence was a bit too bold. This is not what believers or even God's favored people should do. He was slightly curious about the relationship between Klein and the Creator, but his foreknowledge told him that he would get the answer during his upcoming journey to the Eastern Continent, so he did not say anything, but said calmly:

"You can think of it this way."

Seeing that Klein did have respect for the ancient sun god, Hermes did not reduce his favorable impression of him.

Although he cannot be called a devout believer, Hermes has a very close relationship with the Creator, like friends and peers.

"...So, you just said that high-sequence viewers can use 'Appease' to relieve the residual spirit of extraordinary characteristics and reduce the impact of losing control." Klein's hands slightly tightened his pants and stared closely. Hermes, "So, the Creator who is already the true God of many paths, the most powerful god at that time, and the most perfect and best psychiatrist, why did He choose to commit suicide?"

"what are you saying?"

Before Hermes could speak, Leomaster couldn't bear it any longer and glared angrily.

There is no such thing as "The Creator committed suicide" in the grand ceremony handed down to this day by the Aurora Society. Instead, there is only the fact that the gods betrayed the Lord and ate Him!

If the cataclysm is a chain reaction of the Creator's suicide, then how should believers like them, who sincerely feel that the Creator has a clear distinction between good and evil, good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, and pious and kind people go to heaven, how should they deal with it?

——All believers and churches are faced with a question, that is: If God is just and righteous, how should we deal with whether evil people go free or good people are ruined?

——This is definitely the most difficult to understand, the most unexplainable, and the most unacceptable to believers, unless the God you believe in is the "Abyss."

Hermes applied a "appeasement" to Leomaster, and the latter suddenly quieted down at a speed visible to the naked eye, returned to his position, and began to recite prayers quietly again, as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't expect... you even know this."

Hermes gave Klein a deep look. That look made Klein feel a little chilled down his spine, but it was not malicious.

"Yes, I know, but I don't know either."

Klein wanted to look away, but he still tried hard to hold back and resist the fear caused by looking directly at those golden dragon eyes:

"That was not only the suicide of a person, it was the death of a god. The most powerful god chose to commit suicide. His death caused the entire continent to flow with sin and disaster, eternal darkness, and endless monsters... I believe The Creator is definitely not a god who wants the entire continent to be buried with him. If there were other choices, He would never commit suicide. What made Him make such a choice? Please tell me, Mr. Hermes, What is it that makes a multi-channel true god so afraid?”

He mustered up the courage to finish these words. He thought Hermes would show some dissatisfaction or anger, but he didn't expect that the ordinary and calm old gentleman's face had no expression at all, and gradually, slowly, a trace of expression appeared on his face. sorrow.

"That's where you're from."

"It turns out...it turns out that this is what you were thinking."

Hermes sighed, with endless sadness in his voice. Klein was stunned for a moment, feeling that the development of things seemed to be somewhat different from his imagination, but then he understood and chose to remain silent, observing the angel's every move. Words and deeds.

"You have suffered, you have suffered too much."

"What the Creator encountered was an extremely terrifying thing, something that was invincible and absolutely impossible to kill. It could even be said to be Himself... That's why He chose to commit suicide, but He has not been able to kill Himself completely. To this day , He finally..."

Hermes said softly. He pursed his lips, feeling a little unbearable, so he forced himself to change the topic:

"Where are you from? Which city?"

Klein didn't know how to answer, so he didn't speak.

"…Yuecheng, is the Yuecheng that guards the seal still there?"

"They are still there," Klein recalled. "They don't have clean food and water, their bodies are severely deformed, and there are almost no normal children among the newborns."

"How many people are still alive?"

Klein was silent for a moment and whispered: "Less than thirty thousand."

"Less than 30,000... less than 30,000." Hermes seemed a little unbelievable, "Do they still remember the glory of the Creator?"

"..." Klein nodded with difficulty, "It was still like this until a few months ago, but now, most of the survivors have converted to The Fool, and the followers of The Fool and the envoys of God are the survivors who can be found. Clean food and water were provided.”

"'The Fool', well, I know 'The Fool'." Hermes' expression became solemn, "The Creator's old friend, another great existence from a long time ago, has awakened and is about to return. The Creator also entrusted This presence rescues survivors.”

Klein said nothing.

"However, if they convert, we must act quickly!"

Hermes suddenly swept away the sadness and dejection before and cheered up: "The Creator's second son, the Angel of Time, hates the pagans and converts who deserted his father. He will never recognize the Fool, even if it is the Creator's approval. Save Those people are imminent!”
