Chapter 307 "Beacon of Destiny" is about to unleash its power again.
In the silence, Sirion suddenly spoke up: "In the Fourth Age, the Seven Gods had human forms, instead of being just holy emblems composed of various symbols as they are now."
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment, so quiet that not even a breath could be heard.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," stared at the octopus-headed monster wreathed in lightning, standing on black waves, draped in a feathered cloak, and wielding a trident. A sudden realization dawned on him, but he dared not delve into it. Only his breathing grew heavier.
He took a deep breath and looked away, subconsciously not wanting the image of the octopus-headed monster to remain in his mind.
This is blasphemy!
But since it is the temple of the "true creator," it seems quite reasonable to deliberately slander and distort the image of the true god.
He quickly thought of another question: why do the Seven Gods no longer have a similar, but more normal, human form?
"The Magician" Fors swallowed hard, then asked in surprise and fear, "You suspect they are the current Seven Gods?"
"But there are only six here."
Moreover, the images are too distorted and evil, especially the octopus head, the young man with his chest and vest upside down, and the woman holding a rotting baby; they are all monsters.
Cyril leaned back in his chair and explained leisurely, "The 'God of Steam and Machinery' only became a god in the late Fourth Epoch."
Audrey instinctively believed in "justice," yet found it somewhat unbelievable.
After frowning and hesitating for a moment, she turned to look at the "Fool" at the head of the table, hoping to get some information from him.
Noticing the gaze from "Justice," "Fool" Klein leaned back and said leisurely, "Night, sun, storm, wisdom, earth, and giants."
Before the Hanged Man and the others could ask him more questions, he manipulated his alternate account, "The World," and said in a hoarse voice, "I saw a similar statue during an adventure exploring Quaternary ruins, a more normal-looking one."
Cyril looked at him with some surprise, her mind racing:
Even though I messed up the plot, did I still go and explore the ruins where the Medici evil spirit was located?
And Medici Soren Einhorn hasn't left that underground ruin yet? Could it be that he developed feelings for it while living there?
It's also possible that they were wary of Adam, and didn't believe or dare to use the "ghost frame" I gave them.
As his thoughts drifted, he heard Miss "Justice" ask calmly yet curiously, "Mr. 'World,' what kind of statue is that? Could you show it to us?"
"The World" nodded slightly, then pretended to make a request to Mr. "Fool," requesting that he bring to life the six god statues and their corresponding holy symbols that he had seen.
These statues bear a striking resemblance to the evil gods in the murals that "Sun" Derrick manifested earlier, only they are more human-like and appear more normal.
With the corresponding holy symbols available, the group quickly matched the statues with six of the seven gods.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," suddenly exclaimed, "So the evil gods depicted in the murals are indeed the six distorted gods, and they once had human forms..."
'
Perhaps the "Forsaken Land" lies deep within the Sunia Sea, only it doesn't exist in its normal state.
"The Sun," Derrick, suddenly turned to look at Cyril and asked earnestly, "Mr. Fate, could this mural be a point in the cycle of fate?"
Cyril pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The power that 'trapped you in the cycle of fate' most likely comes from Ouroboros. He probably wouldn't leave that power in these deliberately tainted and distorted images of the six gods."
At this point, he glanced at Alger, the "Hanged Man," who must have thought of this, but still had Derrick show the mural and discuss the topic, probably in order to obtain more information.
Then, at his prompting, Derrick recreated another mural from the previously shown image.
They were a group of devout pilgrims who, pursued by many powerful enemies, traveled by boat to the land abandoned by God, to the sanctuary of the "true creator."
Leading the pilgrim procession was an angel with layers of silver wings of light!
She wore a simple and plain linen robe, was tall and slender, with soft features and a beautiful face, and had long silver hair that reached her vest.
At the end of this mural, standing on a silvery, circular river that flows from one end to the other, gazing ahead, it seems as if he is looking at someone outside the mural.
Those silver eyes always carried a hint of gentleness and indifference, as if they were observing the person standing in front of the mural from the perspective of an outsider, observing fate, observing everyone in the world.
After Derrick, the "Sun," displayed the mural again with the help of the "Fool," Cyril calmly said, "He is Urolius, the Angel of Fate. If you are truly trapped in the cycle of fate, it is most likely related to Him."
"But I don't know what the key to maintaining this cycle of fate is; I don't know much about this path."
Derrick wasn't disappointed; instead, he sincerely thanked him, saying, "I understand. Thank you for your help, Mr. Fate. You are truly a kind person."
"And Mr. Hanged Man, Ms. Justice, Ms. Magician, and Mr. World, you are all so kind and enthusiastic."
The kind, enthusiastic, and compassionate crowd fell silent for a moment, mainly because "Sun" had praised it so sincerely that they felt a little ashamed.
Knock knock knock
In the silence, the sound of lightly tapping the table was extremely clear, and everyone turned their heads at the same time, looking expectantly at the "Fool" at the head of the table.
As Sirion gazed at the serene figure shrouded in gray mist, only one thought crossed his mind: "The Beacon of Destiny" was about to unleash its power again.
The thought had barely formed when he heard the "Fool" Klein chuckle softly from within the grayish-white mist: "Redemption Rose."
Unlike the bewilderment and contemplation of "Justice," "The Magician," and "The Hanged Man," "The Sun" Derrick immediately made a connection; he had seen this term in a corner of a mural in the basement of his half-collapsed temple!
...Will the node where the "Angel of Fate" creates the "Cycle of Fate" be related to this name?
Audrey, somewhat curious, raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Fool, what does the 'Redemption Rose' represent?"
After waiting a while, seeing that Mr. Fool in the gray fog did not answer, she turned her head to look at Sirion to her side:
'
"Mr. Fate, do you know about the 'Redemption Rose'?"
Cyril nodded slightly: "I know a little."
Audrey's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Could you share this information? Of course, if you're unwilling, or if you require payment, we can discuss it."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," swallowed back what he was about to say and silently looked at Cyril.
Noticing the curious gazes fixed on him, Sirien smiled and shook his head: "No need, I don't know much anyway."
He paused briefly, then continued, "What I do know is that this organization is closely related to the birth of the true Creator."
After waiting for a while and seeing that he didn't say anything more, everyone sighed silently in their hearts.
There was a sense of excitement that my curiosity was satisfied, but not completely satisfied, mixed with a feeling of loss.
After a brief discussion about the topic of "Redemption Rose," the matter finally came to an end, and today's tarot reading proceeded as normal.
"Justice," Audrey turned to look at "The Fool," Klein, at the head of the table, and spoke first: "Mr. Fool, I have memorized three more pages of Roselle's diary."
As soon as she finished speaking, "The Magician" Fors quickly chimed in, "Mr. Fool, I've also collected Russell's diary, but due to time constraints, I only had time to write down two pages."
She received this this morning from her teacher, Lawrence, and it's a small part of Russell's diaries that the Abraham family has collected over the years.
"Very good." "The Fool" Klein responded with a light laugh.
With his help, Miss Justice and Miss Magician then materialized the portions of Russell's diary that they remembered.
"On November 10th, I will be promoted to Sequence 4 and become a demigod."
After this, as long as things don't get out of control, my life level will undergo a qualitative change, and I will no longer be a short-lived species...
After a minute or two of silence, the Fool's voice rang out calmly in everyone's ears: "Begin the transaction."
Cyril opened his mouth, but finding that he didn't seem to have any need for a trade, he fell silent again, leaning back in his chair to be a quiet listener.
...The current level of the Tarot Club is no longer able to meet my needs.
While he was silently lamenting, the others had already begun to talk.
"The Magician" Fors turned to "Justice" Audrey on the same side and said with a hint of anticipation, "Miss Justice, I have found the Mirror Dragon's eye. The price is 1000 pounds."
After attending so many tarot readings, I've finally been able to make money off other people.
They found the Mirror Dragon's eye so quickly? Did they use the Abraham family's connections?
Audrey was slightly surprised, then nodded without hesitation: "No problem, deal."
Although her financial crisis is not completely over, she will soon have her coming-of-age ceremony, at which time she will receive a valuable gift, as well as shares and cash promised by her father, Earl Hall.
For her now, 1000 pounds is not a number that matters.
Her decisiveness surprised even "The Magician" Fors, who didn't need to use the price-raising rhetoric he had prepared.
I should have quoted a higher price; I might have made an extra hundred or two pounds.
In her moment of mixed joy and regret, "The Sun" Derrick also voiced his own desire: "I need the fruit of the Radiant Spirit Tree."
After obtaining the "Sun Priest" potion recipe from the previous three-way transaction, he went to the Silver City trading market and found the Dawn Rooster's Red Crown, but he was still missing another main ingredient.
The second mate on the "Golden Dream" is on this route, and the "Singer" and "Reader" are adjacent routes; Edwina might have one.
After thinking for a moment, Sirien replied, "I'll keep an eye out for you; it shouldn't be too difficult."
"Justice," "The Magician," and "The Hanged Man," among others, also indicated that they would keep an eye out for them within their respective circles.
Then, Alger the Hanged Man suddenly turned to Cyril: "Mr. Fate, do you have any way to obtain the potion recipe for 'Ocean Singer'?"
Cyril looked back at the "Hanged Man" with some surprise: "You should have only recently been promoted to 'Wind Favorite', right?"
Alger nodded slightly and said, "That's right, but playing the role of the 'Wind Favorite' isn't difficult."
"This is a sequence that can be easily played based on the name. I have a feeling that in six months at most, or even less, I will be able to digest the potion of the 'Wind-Centered One' within me."
