"On October 29th, Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, visited me again. He didn't mention anything specific, but just chatted with me casually. I couldn't guess his true intention. He seemed to just want to strengthen communication and mutual understanding between the two sides?"
“I have already met two high-sequence masters of the church, and I feel that Zaratul is even more powerful and mysterious than them. So I asked him what sequence he was in without holding out much hope. As a result, he actually answered me!”
"He said he is a Sequence 2 'Miracle Master'!"
“Sequence 2? In the church’s classification, this is the angel level, a status close to that of a god!”
"Sure enough, he's more powerful than the 'Alchemist' and 'Mystic Scholar' I met before!"
"But I intuitively feel that Zaratul is not telling the whole truth. Sequence 2 may just be his previous position, or he is about to be promoted."
"Miracle Master? A master who is good at creating miracles? The name of this potion makes people imagine a lot!"
“Is this the Sequence 2 corresponding to the ‘Fortune Teller’, the miracle worker who manipulates fate?”
"I tentatively asked Zaratul again, is the so-called miracle a miracle of fate? Is the 'Fortune Teller' path a way to gradually understand fate, master fate, and manipulate fate?"
"Zaratul skipped the first question. He told me that fate is only a part of the 'Fortune Teller' path and does not even belong to the main body. The path that truly represents fate is the 'Monster'!"
"He gave several examples, all of which were the names of potions in the 'Monster' sequence, Sequence 7 'Lucky One', Sequence 5 'Winner', Sequence 2 'Prophet', and the one at the top of the sequence, 'Mercury Snake'! This is also known as the 'Snake of Fate'."
"This is the first Sequence 1 I know of, and it totally hits me!"
"As far as I know, the 'Monster' path should be controlled by the Life School. This school seems to have some sequences of the 'Pharmacist' path. They advocate the three-fold division of the absolute rational world, the spiritual world, and the material world. Hmm, that's pretty cool."
"Zaratul told me that the Life School is good at astrology. They seek to use medicine, music, light, wine and fragrance to harmonize the soul and eliminate unfavorable astrological signs and unfavorable fate. They believe that disasters and diseases are caused by the loss of balance between man and nature, and between man and his own soul."
"He also added meaningfully that the Life School worships the moon."
"Why worship the moon, and not the goddess of the night, who is even more beautiful?"
This diary entry occupies two pages and was obviously copied from the front and back of the original.
“That’s a lot of information,” Klein sighed silently from the bottom of his heart.
This was also the first time he knew the name of a Sequence 1 potion.
"Mercury Snake, Snake of Destiny" is indeed easy to make people yearn for it!
"And this is also the first time I know of a Sequence 2. I know that the Sequence 2 corresponding to 'Fortune Teller' is 'Miracle Master'. This name is not bad, with rich connotations and a high status. Of course, it feels a little inferior to 'Prophet'."
"Destiny is only a part of the 'Fortune Teller' path, and it's not even the main part. I have to remember this and always examine myself. I can't stray too far from destiny, which may lead to failure in my role. Zaratul's words are in line with this. There is no problem. The 'Monster' path is the true path to destiny. The 'Prophet' turned out to be a Sequence 2. Come to think of it, I also knew a Sequence 2 before."
Although Klein's eyes did not move away from the paper, he was seriously thinking about his own sequence chain.
Because of the experience of digesting the two potions of "Fortune Teller" and "Clown", and because of the evolution from spying on fate and respecting fate to slightly predicting fate but still feeling helpless about fate, he gradually equated the core essence of his extraordinary path with a deeper understanding of fate. If it were not for this diary, he would most likely use this as a premise to understand and act out the subsequent sequences.
As for the question of whether Zaratul lied, what Klein could be sure of at the moment was that the "Monster" path was definitely the Destiny Sequence. This was consistent with the description he had seen in the internal documents of the Nighthawks, and also consistent with the name of the potion he had heard a long time ago, "The Prophet."
Since there is a destiny sequence, the "fortune teller" path is unlikely to repeat with each other, which will cause a certain degree of overlap, which is inconsistent with the different characteristics shown by each current sequence.
Therefore, Klein tends to believe what Zaratul said, and tends to believe that fate is only a part of the "fortune teller"'s path, and does not even belong to the subject.
The value of these two pages of the diary is immeasurable to me now. "Alchemist" and "Mystic Scholar" should be high-sequences of the "Generalist" pathway. Judging from Russell's tone, they definitely do not belong to Sequence 2 and Sequence 1. In other words, one is Sequence 4 and the other is Sequence 3. It is currently impossible to determine who is Sequence 4 and who is Sequence 3. Klein collected his thoughts, flipped through the diary, and read on.
As for why the School of Life only worships the moon and does not believe in the Goddess of Night who symbolizes the crimson moon, he was unable to think deeply about it due to the lack of relevant information.
The third page of the diary records Russell's mental journey in inventing a practical steam engine. He was worried about being suppressed and afraid that his achievements would be seized by bigwigs. The words between the lines reveal that others wanted to persecute him.
I didn’t expect that Emperor Roselle, who considered himself the protagonist of the era, would be so nervous and worried. Klein moved his lips and turned to the fourth page of the diary:
"On April 18th, Matilda became pregnant."
"This is expected. I can even tell clearly which lovemaking session she was conceived in, because I felt the reduction of my extraordinary characteristics at that time."
"Once conception is successful, my own extraordinary characteristics will follow the mysterious connection and transfer part of them to my child."
"After that, I asked Archbishop Van Esting worriedly, and he told me that this is a normal phenomenon. For Sequence 7 and below, Beyonder characteristics will not be passed on to offspring, but it is not absolute. Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 will naturally inherit some, but not much, and will not affect their own strength too much. The child will be born with certain Beyonder abilities, close to Sequence 9, but correspondingly, his path will be fixed."
"At high sequences, the inheritance of extraordinary traits is something that can be controlled. You can choose to inherit it, or not. You can also choose to inherit a little, a third, half, or all of it."
"That is to say, the children of high-sequence masters may be born as Beyonders. As for their sequence, it is determined by their father or mother."
“I wonder if the descendants of gods are like this too.”
After reading this diary, only two phrases came to Klein's mind: "Law of the Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics" and "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics".
Is this the survival rule of those extraordinary creatures? No wonder some magical animals give birth before they die. No wonder there is a phenomenon that the killing and bloodthirstiness increase after giving birth. The target is the same species, or even the partner. This is to supplement the extraordinary characteristics. According to this logic, if we push it back, where did the earliest extraordinary characteristics come from? Did they come out of thin air? The creator who created everything?
Because Miss Justice had been promoted to Mind Reader, Klein suppressed the urge to nod and continued to flip through the pages.
The fifth page of the diary is Russell's complaint, complaining that no one here can appreciate his pop music and thinks he is making noise. At the same time, he feels that cool writing is the common pursuit of different people in different worlds, and plagiarizing the popularity of The Count of Monte Cristo has enabled the newspaper he founded to flourish.
Emperor, is there anything else you haven't done? Klein turned to the sixth page, which was the last page, with a smile on his face:
"On November 10, I secretly met with the great pirate Savini Solomon at the White Maple Palace. I wanted him to plunder my opponents on the new route and attack the ships of Feysac, Loen, and Feynaport."
"And I promised to help him advance to a higher sequence."
"The names of the potions in this extraordinary path of 'Black Emperor' are just as strange as those in the Witch Path: Corruption, Chaos, Depravity, and Orderkilling. However, in order to echo the 'Black Emperor', they added suffixes on their own initiative: Baron of Corruption, Mentor of Chaos, Earl of Depravity, and Prince of Orderkilling."
"In order to make Savigny worthy of his title in the future, I decided to secretly confer him the title of Count of the Court."
"Savigny has a child named Nast Solomon. My intuition tells me that he will travel the five seas in the future."
Nast Solomon, the "King of the Five Seas" Nast? Nast who claimed to be a descendant of the Solomon Empire? He was actually born during the Roselle era! Klein was stunned.
Because Russell mentioned the term "New Channel", Klein easily determined the corresponding year.
The discovery of the new route and the finding of the southern continent took place in 1194, while Roselle was assassinated in 1198. The diary entry just now could only have been written between these two years.
That is to say, 151 to 155 years ago.
If the "King of the Five Seas" Nast is really the Nast Solomon mentioned by Roselle, then he is almost 160 years old. Is this due to some other reason, or does a high-sequence person have a certain life extension? Klein thought thoughtfully.
He suppressed all his speculations, let the diary disappear from his hand, looked at Justice and the others and said:
"You can trade or communicate freely."
Mr. Fool has no common sense to tell us today. Audrey, feeling slightly disappointed, turned her eyes and looked at the Sun across from her.
"Can I trade you for information about the dragon?"
She clearly remembered that Mr. "Sun" called the "audience" path the "dragon" path and said that it originated from the dragon clan.
"Yes, I want to get the formula for the Sequence 8 potion of the 'Singer' pathway." Derrick, who had been silent the whole time, answered hesitantly.
He originally wanted to exchange it for the situation of the world in which Justice and the Hanged Man lived, so that he wouldn't have to confuse them every time, but seeing that his digestion was almost complete, he still put promotion first.
