Chapter 60: The Second "Profane Slate"



“No problem.” Klein tried his best to keep his tone low and unchanged.

He rested his left elbow on the armrest of the high-back chair, and supported his slightly tilted forehead with his fingers not too hard, pretending to listen calmly.

Alger considered his words and said:

"Antigonus is an ancient family. Their history can be traced back to the Cataclysm Era before the Fourth Era, and is related to the second 'blasphemous tablet'."

The second Blasphemous Slate? Could there be a second Blasphemous Slate? How many blasphemous slates are there? Klein narrowed his eyes and almost changed his posture.

According to what "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" said before, the "Blasphemy Slate" records twenty-two paths of God!

There are actually two or even more such important items?

Twenty-two Paths of God Sequence Paths Uh, can these two terms be equated? Each complete sequence path is the path leading to the throne of God?

In an instant, Klein had a series of thoughts about the description of the "second 'blasphemous slate'". He believed that if it weren't for the thick gray mist covering it, his emotional reaction would have probably been discovered by Miss Audience.

As for the term "Age of Cataclysm", as a professional he is not unfamiliar with it, as it is a synonym for the Third Age.

After reviewing for this period of time, Klein even knew that the Third Age was divided into two eras: the Age of Gloriousness and the Age of Disaster.

"The second 'blasphemous slate'?" Audrey expressed her doubt without disguising it.

She has not yet calmed down and completely returned to the "audience" state.

Good question! Klein secretly cheered for Miss Justice.

This is a question that is not convenient for a Fool to ask.

Alger glanced at the Fool and saw that the other party's posture had not changed and he did not speak out to stop him, so he thought for a moment and said:

"The first 'blasphemous tablet' appeared in the Dark Age, which was the second age when humans were struggling to survive under the protection of the gods. The second 'blasphemous tablet' appeared at the end of the Third Age. It can even be said that its appearance marked the end of the Age of Disaster."

"The information on these two 'blasphemous tablets' is strictly confidential among the seven major churches. I only know a little bit, that they both involve the path of God, but I don't know the difference between them."

"Was the blasphemous tablet that Emperor Roselle looked at the first or the second?" Audrey asked curiously.

Hearing this, Klein recalled Alger's description of the names of potions during the first gathering. He said that the names of sequence potions all came from the "blasphemous slate"!

"Similarly, the captain also mentioned that the formation and perfection of the potion system depends on the birth of the 'blasphemous slate'. This indirectly proves that the path of God is the sequence path!" Klein gave a silent answer to his previous question.

At this time, Alger, the Hanged Man, said simply and directly:

"The second one."

Audrey's eyes turned still, and she returned to the "audience" state. She did not ask any more questions, but only focused on looking at the "Hanged Man".

This made Alger feel quite uncomfortable. He suppressed his emotions and continued in a low voice:

"During the Solomon Dynasty of the Fourth Epoch, the Antigonus family was also a prominent noble family, but they did not leave behind any impressive deeds. It was not until they supported the establishment of the Tudor Empire that they truly stood at the center of the Northern Continent's stage."

"At that time, ancient names such as Antigonus, Amon, Abraham, and Jacob shone in the human kingdom. However, after the War of the Four Emperors, the Blood Emperor of the Tudor Empire fell. They fell from the top and were hunted down by the Seven Gods today."

“I don’t know the specific process, but I only know that the Antigonus family was eventually destroyed by the Church of Evernight. Mr. Fool, if you want to know more, I’m afraid you can only get it from the Church of Evernight, or contact those ancient secret organizations. Do you know which ones I’m referring to?”

I don’t know why Klein nodded bitterly.

"Um."

The Secret Society counts as one, the Moss Ascetic Society mentioned by the Captain and Old Neil counts as one, and I don't know if the Psychological Alchemy Society counts as one.

As he silently took stock, Alger gave the final message:

"I also don't know which sequence pathway the Antigonus family has mastered. However, in the relevant descriptions, two adjectives appear repeatedly, which are: weird and terrifying."

Weird and scary. Thinking about the notebook, and the experiences of the original owner, his classmates, and Riel Bieber's mother, it is indeed more appropriate. Klein tapped the edge of the long table with the fingers of his other hand several times in a row.

Then, he spoke slowly:

"Very good, I am very satisfied with this reward."

The reason why he repeatedly tapped the long table with his fingers was to strengthen this action and make "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" believe that he had the habit of tapping something, so as to cover up the opening and closing of the spiritual vision.

"It's my honor." Alger didn't mention anything else.

Audrey looked at The Hanged Man, then at The Fool, and smiled.

"Then let me ask my second question. What are the names of the subsequent potions for 'audience'? Where can I find the clues?"

I wanted to ask directly, but different choices would lead to different problems. Klein did not speak and turned his gaze to the Hanged Man.

Alger was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I answer this question for free, since I am the one who led you down this path."

"The sequence following 'Audience' is called 'Mind Reader'. The old name of the sequence was 'Psychoanalyst', but it is now described as 'Psychologist'. I learned this from a member of the Psychological Alchemist Society. I think they should have quite a few potion formulas for this path."

Daly, the psychic channeler of the Psychological Alchemy Society, agreed with some of their theories, while Klein, whom the captain believed was evil and crazy, listened thoughtfully.

"Do you know the current whereabouts of that member of the Psychological Alchemist Society?" Audrey asked with shining eyes.

Whether "mind reader" or "psychologist", both are quite in line with her aesthetic.

Alger laughed, which was rare:

"Yes, it sank near Sonia Island. I sank it myself."

"If you're looking for the Psychological Alchemist Society, I can only say sorry, the clue is broken."

He was not worried that "justice" would identify him through the description just now, because he had done it alone.

"Shen" Audrey didn't know what expression or words to use to respond.

She took a breath, and suddenly couldn't keep her "audience" state anymore, and said a little shyly:

"The third question is, if, I mean if, an ordinary animal drinks the sequence potion, what will happen?"

What kind of a question is this? Klein supported his forehead with his fingers and tapped his brows twice without leaving any trace.

Soon, he could tell from the change in color that Audrey was a little flustered, a little nervous, and a little ashamed.

Could it be that she did something stupid like that? Klein thought, looking a little surprised but not too surprised.

After two previous gatherings, he was sure that Miss Justice had the gene for it.

Alger, the Hanged Man, was also obviously stunned. It took him a while before he spoke:

"Ordinary animals don't have human brains, so they can't learn to meditate right away. So, they will most likely die on the spot, or collapse into monsters. But if they survive, they should be able to become extraordinary creatures. If the potion can improve their thinking ability, they will even become smarter."

"Okay." Audrey exhaled silently and nodded in a relaxed tone, "I don't have any other questions."..

Alger thought about it and did not mention the Aurora Society and the Listener. He also shook his head and said:

"Neither have I."

"I have something to ask." Klein remained in his pose and said with a smile, "I need your cooperation."

He hadn't yet closed his spiritual vision and immediately noticed that the "Hanged Man" was clearly nervous, and the previously heartless Miss "Justice" also became a little more fearful and cautious.

Without waiting for them to speak, Klein soothed them:

"Don't worry, this is just a small thing. If it succeeds, it will be very helpful to you, so I won't pay you any extra money."

“You go ahead.” Audrey instinctively entered the audience “state”, but no matter how hard she looked, she could not see through the thick gray fog surrounding The Fool.

"Follow your will." Alger stabilized himself and said in a deep voice.

Klein moved his fingers slightly and said with a smile:

"I've said before that we need to try to make it so that you can take time off early and not have to worry about being in an inopportune situation on Monday afternoon."

"This is exactly what we wanted." Audrey's brows relaxed.

Alger thought for a moment and said:

"What do you need us to do?"

"You can try a ritual magic in your free time. It doesn't have to be too formal. Just have an undisturbed environment. Place four new candles on the altar, one at each corner. It's best to use the ones with the scent of sandalwood. Place a piece of white bread next to the upper left candle, a piece of Fenaport noodles next to the upper right candle, seafood rice on the lower left, and Deese pie on the lower right. Use a silver knife to create a sealed spiritual environment."

Klein described his own ritual magic that he had modified from the "Lucky Change Ritual" and taught Miss "Justice" how to create a spiritual environment for free.

Honestly speaking, because the target was himself, Klein believed that the first part, which was the sacrifice part to arouse the interest of the corresponding beings and please them, could be omitted directly, but he still tried to make the process look like that - of course, it did not conform to what Old Neil said, that the gods were two and himself was three.

"Mix and distill moonflower, golden mint, deep sleep flower, golden orange and rock rose, extract them into essential oils, and drop one drop into each candle"

Audrey listened and took notes with great interest, and finally asked:

“What about the spell? Mr. Fool, what is the corresponding spell?”

Alger also put down the pen in his hand, turned around and looked at the Fool.

Shrouded in gray mist, Klein tapped the edge of the long table with his fingers and replied calmly in Hermes:

"Fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray fog, you are the yellow and black king who controls good luck."
