Chapter 5 The Meeting After Seven Years [-]k

If we talk about the end of the nineteenth century in the Forbidden World, it is undoubtedly the era of the Golden Dawn.

As the name suggests, the "Golden Dawn" of the Forbidden World is the world's largest magic association that emerged in England in the second half of the nineteenth century, and it is also the magic organization that created the embryonic form of modern Western magic in the Forbidden World.

In terms of ideology, Golden Dawn is based on Hermeticism, advocating Kabbalah thought, and the founders are very partial to Buddhist thought.

Although it is called modern Western magic, the prototype is still the secret technique of Christianity. From the literal point of view of "Modern Western magic", it seems that Europeans constructed European magic with European culture, but in fact this is not the case. The information is collected as it is, and it also focuses on the ancient religions before the appearance of the Bible, and tries to analyze how these religions have become and spread to the present. They will also be influenced by the religions of Central and South America, the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, and India. Among them, " The magician of "Gold" paid special attention to the Egyptian mythology that still left traces on the African continent across the Mediterranean Sea.

"Golden" magicians will draw clear boundaries for their own research and experiments, that is, "do not use living bodies as materials for experiments."

Have the idea that "by studying magic to the extreme and distorting the laws, you can cut off cause and effect, and let yourself escape revenge"

As for the founders, "Golden Dawn" was co-founded by three founders including McQueen Mathers and Westcott.

One of the founders, Westcott, referred to Germany when he founded the association, and because he hoped that his association would have a history like that of academies or court scholars, he claimed to be "the only one who has obtained the ultimate high-level existence" Anna Sprengel The person who granted the permission to establish an association" forged the letter "Permission to Establish a Magic Association" to subsidize the organization.

It's a pity that the organization has assembled too many powerful magicians, so in essence, it has only been active for a few years before it collapsed due to internal strife.

Specifically, among the three founders of "Golden Dawn", one of them retired due to aging, so two opposing forces formed in the association, the Mathers faction and the Westcott faction.The addition of Aleister Crowley, a member of Mathers' faction, upset the balance of power between Mathers and Westcott.

From then on, after the "Battle of Bryce Road" in April 1900, the "Golden Dawn" fell apart.

Time came after the Golden Dawn collapse.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

With the screech of loud steam engines, human life has changed dramatically since the first industrial revolution.

Huge machines began to replace manpower, the world is developing, the times are advancing, and everything has become different from the past.

Britain, as the first country to initiate the industrial revolution, is undoubtedly the most advanced country in this era. Although its railway network cannot be as developed as in the 21st century, it has also managed to run through all major cities across the country.

London, as the heart of the UK, is naturally the city with the most developed railway network.

This is King's Cross Railway Station. Of course, seeing this familiar name, some people may think of Harry Potter, but in fact, the railway station is actually a large railway terminal opened as early as 1852. Located in the King's Cross area of ​​central London, it is on the Camden side of the border between Camden and Islington.

On the platform, there were buzzing voices of the crowd and the noise of dragging heavy luggage. However, there was one person who stood out among the crowd.

"Is everything over..."

This person, of course, is none other than the young Edward who has now changed his name to Aleister.

But at this moment, Aleister was obviously in a trance.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that seven years have passed since the turning point in the fate of the young Edward.

Today, Aleister is no longer the immature young man he was back then.

However, thinking about a certain mysterious master of the bathroom, Xiao Ke has only been a fool for a few years, and it is not difficult to understand the growth of the young Edward, who is now Aleister.

The pinnacle of human beings, this is the current level of Aleister.

Some people may not understand, here, let us borrow the criteria for judging the rank of magician from the ten holy times in the Golden Dawn!

Among them, the so-called Outer is a mundane magician, but there is not much need to mention it.

After all, most of the references at this stage are apprentices.

Next, we will mainly talk about Inner, who is an expert in comprehending the profound meaning of magic.

5=6-------AdeptusMinor (little master)---Tiphareth is beautiful

At this stage, the magician has completed his great task and acquired the knowledge of communicating with his own holy guardian angel.

6=5-------Adeptus Major (big talent)---Geburah power

Recognized by the Holy Spirit, he has the ability to master general practical magic. Of course, even though he said so, the first little boss Stiyl of the Forbidden World is at this level, and most of the superpowers in the academy city are also at this level. This level is really an anti-military level of power.

7=4-------AdeptusExemptus (the exempted person)---Chesed kindness

This level is the leader level of a large magic organization, which means that all magic problems can be perfected, and he is already a unique master.

In fact, purely in terms of force, magicians at this level are already able to pose a threat to countries and even civilizations at the 21st century level.

Then, the next thing is to say the key point.

8=3-------MagisterTempli (the leader of the temple)---Binah understands

The secret leader has perfectly understood the universe and comprehended the will of God. This is what the so-called non-divine body comprehends the will of God.

——Yes, this level is the pinnacle of human beings.

In general, the Forbidden World, from the starburst to the normal level of a single universe, can be counted in this realm.

However, there is a limit to this realm after all, and the peak of human beings is still in the human realm after all.

Because whether it is knowledge or life, the peak of human beings has its limits.

As far as life is concerned, in fact, it is ridiculous to say that the magician at the peak of the forbidden world does not have much advantage in physique compared with ordinary people.

In this world, unless you are a saint, even the peak of the human race is used to relying on various spells to protect themselves when fighting.

So at this point in time, after the Golden Dawn was killed, Aleister was actually preparing to run away and leave London.

...........................

...........................

It can only be said that before the First World War, Britain was indeed an empire on which the sun never sets.

At least, even Aleister, who is the pinnacle of human beings in England at this point in time in the Forbidden World, would not dare to underestimate him, otherwise why would Aleister run away.

After all, even if Scotland Yard in this era is useless, the Forbidden World, as a traditional magic country in the Middle Ages, Britain, whether it is Katina or the triple four-color enchantment, can see the background of this country.

Among them, on the surface, Katina is the ceremonial sword used by the British in the coronation ceremony of the new king's succession to the throne. Its appearance is a typical Western double-edged sword, and it is about [-] centimeters long including the hilt.There is no tip of the sword, and the blade part is also flat, like a slender four-cornered board connected to the hilt, so it is also called "the sword of mercy".

But in fact, the Katina Sword in the Forbidden World is the largest spiritual item in Britain. In theory, holding a Katina in England can have the power equivalent to that of the Archangel "Godlike (Michael)"; In the territory, with the help of Katina, the knight will gain part of the angel's power.

In addition, the ultimate guardian magic triple four-color barrier covering the entire British Isles of this country is also extremely terrifying. .

As we all know, in mysticism, the two numbers three and four are very special. Three represents the three pillars of Kabbalah, and four can represent the elemental theory of the four-fold world of Kabbalah.

And the ultimate culture of the British Isles is built by the four cultures of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as the royal family, knights, and Puritans as the main body.

Once the three-layer four-color barrier of guardian magic is fully deployed, it can even protect Britain from a star-destroying disaster intact.

In other words, in this world, even if the earth is destroyed, the British Isles will not necessarily be destroyed.

Back to the topic, after talking about the reason why Aleister appeared at the train station at this time, the camera turned around.

"... Has it reached this point in time?"

Accompanied by a somewhat familiar tone, here is the essence of London, including St. James's Park, Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery, and the Grand Theater are basically in this area.

Similarly, this is undoubtedly the safest area in London, and Scotland Yard has invested a lot of police force here.

The concentration of a large amount of wealth makes it covered with quite comprehensive electricity even in this era. At night, the whole area is brightly lit. You can see people walking in the tall buildings, and their figures are cast on the ground by the lights. Spread out in a blurred and broken way, with the rising steam, you can smell the intoxicating aroma of wine even at the edge of the city.

New cars can even be seen on the streets here from time to time. Although they are often demonized, in the current time, Wilhelm II, the future leader of Germany's World War I, even publicly believed that cars cannot replace horse-drawn carriages.

In fact, the cars of this era are indeed not practical. Not only do they have extremely high requirements on road conditions, most of them can only move in the West End of London, but even this still cannot stop some rich people who simply pursue novelty. Sprinkle a lot of money to buy this seemingly useless thing.

It can be said that this area is full of luxurious atmosphere.

————And here, there is no doubt that it is the West End of London at the intersection of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

"... Well, let's meet up before leaving. After all, the next time we meet may not be known."

At this time, it was none other than Mei who spoke before.

Obviously, Mei has been paying attention to Aleister's movements in recent years.

...........................

...........................

However, I have to say that this world is not as simple as it seems to us. Everyone has his own destiny, and it is destined by God.

People have gathered the mistakes of life together to create an ultimate horror, and that name is fate.

Fear or escape, fate will eventually come, no one knows what the ending will be, and no one will believe in the future.Especially for some people, although exhausted to the extreme, these people will not accept the future.

"... This is me."

At this time, Aleister came back to his senses, and found that he appeared in front of the familiar Cambridge University by a strange coincidence.

All of this, needless to say, was Mei's handwriting.

In scientific terms, this is the world-line ending.

Back to reality, the University of Cambridge, located in Cambridge, England, is a world-renowned public research university and the second oldest university in the English-speaking world. Many scientific giants such as Newton and Kelvin and masters of literature and philosophy such as Milton and Byron.

Trinity College, on the other hand, is undoubtedly the largest, most financially powerful, and most prestigious college in the University of Cambridge.

"...It's really nostalgic."

At this moment, although he was still vigilant, Aleister seemed to be the same boy as before when he walked in Cambridge University after a long absence, without any change.

Um, although the reputation of the young Edward at Cambridge University was actually not good at the time.

At that time, at Cambridge University, the reason why Edward Alexander was full of bad rumors was not only against the Bible.

In fact, the most important thing is Edward Alexander's ambiguous behavior with many ladies in the college, which is the reason why the young Edward Alexander became notorious at Cambridge University.

However, apparently, Aleister didn't care much about his black history.

At this moment, walking on the grass like a green carpet, passing through the square and the library, and passing the ancient clock tower that existed since the Middle Ages, there is no doubt that as Cambridge University, which had more than a dozen colleges as early as 500 AD, It's more like a small city than a simple college.

And in the academy, because today is not a day off, there are still many students in the academy, but these people seem to have completely ignored Aleister.

Aleister naturally discovered this point.

But the problem is that at this time Aleister himself seemed to be guided by some kind of secret.

In the blink of an eye, Aleister came to a certain chapel in Cambridge University.

But in a sacred and solemn place.

Under the majestic and compassionate gaze of the icon.

"...It's ironic, isn't it? In this hall of science and truth, there is such a place named after God."

Behind Aleister, a voice suddenly appeared.

At this moment, the person who came was none other than May who guided Aleister here from King's Cross Railway Station, who was still in London's West End not long ago.

........................

........................

By the way, in the past few years, Mei has actually followed Miracle Witch to live in seclusion in a western mansion in London's West End in this era.

"...Dr. Mei?"

Of course, it is said that she lives in seclusion. In fact, judging from Aleister's reaction, it is conceivable that in this era, May is actually quite famous. Well, it is probably like Einstein, even the magic side is also somewhat different. heard.

But yes, even if there is no intervention in the magic side, for a super scientist like Mei, even the knowledge revealed inadvertently is enough to indirectly change the era.

But unfortunately, at this point in time, Aleister has not yet made up his mind to devote himself to science.

"...It's me, Mr. Edward, long time no see."

And Mei obviously knew this too, but she couldn't help but think of the life experience of the later generation Aleister.

After all, how should I put it, if Aleister's life is regarded as a movie, it is obvious that there is no doubt that Aleister's life has several turning points.

Here, for example, the creation of the book of magic, the Book of Laws, was obviously another turning point in Aleister's life.

Later generations, it is said that Aleister was active in Sicily, Italy from [-] to [-], and the "Book of Law" appeared at that time.

At that time, there were various legends in the world about Crowley's book.

Some people think that Crowley summoned the guardian angel Aiwass, learned the "angel spell" that humans cannot use through the angel's teaching, and recorded it in the "Book of Laws".

Some people think that once the "Book of Law" is opened, the era of Christianity will end, and mankind will enter a new era.

What's more, according to the records, Aleister Crowley is the worst scumbag. During his travels, in order to conduct a magic experiment, he regarded his wife who was traveling with him around the world as a scumbag with his guardian angel, Aleister Crowley. Wentz contacted the medium.

And when his daughter Lilith died, he still studied magick's magic theory indifferently.He even took a group of little girls who were about the same age as his daughter as victims for the experiment...

Of course, the record is not necessarily true, the fact is quite the opposite.

It was the death of her daughter that caused Aleister to completely break away from the magic side, and instead had the Academy City and the science side of the later generations.

"……Do you believe in fate."
