When Odis the Hermit spoke of the current situation of the God of Honor, son of the Giant King, the other members all looked toward Derrick the Sun.
Derrick paused for a moment before realizing what everyone meant by looking at him: the "Hermit" said that the "God of Honor" after his fall was cursed and still lingered in the "Forsaken Land." Everyone was asking me with their eyes if I knew about this.
He thought for a moment before saying, "The area where the 'God of Honor' roams is not around Silver City."
Klein, the "Fool" behind the gray fog, thought for a moment before thinking: That's true. A cursed angel who has fallen must have a great impact on the surrounding area. If it were around Silver City, this ancient city might have been destroyed long ago.
The other members also came to understand this point one after another, and then looked at the "hermit" again, waiting for him to continue.
Odis continued, "The goddess of beauty, Olnia, who is the 'progenitor of the vampires,' is, as we mentioned before, most likely a Sequence 1 archangel of the 'moon' pathway."
After the 'Progenitor of the Vampires' fell, He sought refuge with the 'Elf King'.
"Later, the 'Elf King' also perished. In the Third Age, an era dominated by humans, He and the vampires disappeared from people's sight."
"When she reappeared in public, it was already the Fourth Age. She became the queen of the Night Emperor, participated in the War of the Four Emperors, and perished in the War of the Four Emperors."
Upon hearing this, Emlyn straightened his back, eager to tell the "Hermit": This is a magnificent and turbulent history that should be told in detail.
However, his attention was soon drawn to what the "hermit" said next.
Then the "Hermit" said, "Another of the 'Vampire Ancestors' was called the 'Goddess of Life.' She perished when the 'Vampire Ancestors' fell, and now her real name is unknown."
"Judging from this title of God, He should also be an angel through the pathway of 'farmer' or 'medicineer'."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "'The Elf King'..."
"Wait a minute," Emlyn suddenly interrupted, "'Hermit', are there only two vampires who serve as gods?"
He thought to himself: Giants have three gods, but vampires only have two?
Although Emlyn didn't voice his inner thoughts, the other members understood what he meant.
"Fool" Klein thought to himself with a hint of helplessness: What's the point of arguing about this?
Odis smiled and said, "I said at the beginning of the transaction that each ancient god should have several subordinate gods by his side, but at that time, there were frequent wars between gods, and many subordinate gods of the ancient gods perished in one war after another."
"The ancient gods we know today are only a part of them."
"For example, among your three dukes, there should be a follower god from the Second Era who was once the 'progenitor of the vampires'."
Emlyn said "Oh," and then felt much better.
Odis continued, "We've also mentioned 'Queen of Calamity' Ghosnam, the follower of 'Elf King,' who is most likely a Sequence 1 Archangel of the 'Sailor' pathway."
"I previously explored an elven ruin. After the fall of the 'Elven King,' the 'Queen of Calamity' led the remaining elven forces to retreat to the sea and established a settlement."
"It seems that during the Third Age, at the location of the current Raging Sea, there were still cities where the Elven race gathered."
"It should have been during the early part of the Third Age that those cities disappeared one after another. The characteristics within the 'Queen of Calamities' were most likely taken away by the 'Wind Angel' with the help of the 'Ancient Sun God'."
"The 'Queen of Calamity' seems to have made preparations in advance, leaving some contingency plans for resurrection, and has not yet completely perished. However, the Church of Storms is currently one of the seven righteous churches, and her chances of resurrection are extremely slim."
The other members glanced at the "Hanged Man" intentionally or unintentionally. They didn't mean anything by it; they just felt that he seemed to have some connection with both the "Elf King" and the Storm Church.
Odis continued, "The 'Elf King' also has a god called 'God of Fortune'. Judging from the title, He seems to be a high-sequence extraordinary being of the 'Monster' pathway."
"I'm not sure if He has fallen, but He shouldn't be the 'Angel of Fate' who is loyal to the 'Ancient Sun God', because according to information I obtained from other sources, the 'Angel of Fate' followed the 'Ancient Sun God' a long time ago."
"If this 'God of Luck' had perished along with the 'Elf King,' then His characteristics would most likely have fallen into the hands of Ulorus as spoils of war."
"If He had not fallen, I wonder if He would have had some connection with the current 'School of Life'?"
"Of course, this is just speculation; I haven't obtained any corresponding evidence."
Klein, who knew some of the inside story, thought to himself: This is a fairly logical guess. Currently, two copies of the Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Monster" pathway are with Ouroles, and one copy is with a certain "Serpent of Fate" in Backlund who is currently "rebooting." As for the uniqueness of this pathway, it is in the hands of the "School of Life."
Therefore, most of the extraordinary individuals in this pathway can be traced back to the two lines of Ouroius and the "School of Life". For example, the "Monster" pathway extraordinary individuals in the "Rose School" are basically all those who betrayed the "School of Life".
Thinking about this, Klein sighed: "The 'Hermit's' summary of the 'high sequence characteristic induction law' is very useful! As long as there is enough information, the high sequence characteristics of a pathway can be summarized, and the situation of that pathway will be clear at a glance."
Odis continued without pausing: "According to some information I've recently gathered, the 'Elves' also have two other gods, one is the Elf Prince Constantine, and the other is suspected to be an angel who has entered the 'Common Knowledge' pathway..."
Klein and Alger, the "Hanged Man," immediately recalled the intelligence the "Hermit" had obtained from the "Deep Sea Admiral" when they explored Whale Island together.
As one of the "Pirate Generals," the "Priestess" Cattleya naturally knew that the "Deep Sea Admiral's" name was Hal Constantine.
Cattleya couldn't help but speculate: The elven prince... I heard that the "Deep Sea Admiral" seems to have sea monster blood. Could this be his way of deliberately diverting everyone's attention? Does he actually have elven blood?
Then she thought of the ancient elf who had fought yesterday. She had also heard that the "Deep Sea Admiral" had spoken privately with the "Hermit" last night, which made her guess that the "Hermit" must have a lot of knowledge about the elves that others did not have.
Odis continued, "That elven prince joined the 'Order of Morth' in the Second Age and became one of the 'Ten Pillars,' but he left in the Fourth Age..."
Cattleya was taken aback: "The Morse Order"? One of the "Ten Pillars"?
She never imagined that one of the "Ten Pillars" of the "Morse Order" would include a spirit.
The other members were also somewhat surprised. They had all heard of the "Morse Penitentiary," but they hadn't expected it to date back to the Second Age, and that it included humanoid extraordinary beings as members.
Alger thought to himself: When I heard this news, I was quite shocked. If I didn't misunderstand what the "Deep Sea Admiral" meant, Prince Constantine should still be alive and well. He should be the only remaining "elf" angel.
"...As for that god who was suspected of being a 'generalist'," Odis said, "I don't know what happened to him later."
At this point, he shrugged and said, "As I just said, this should be the case for most gods. As people of the Fifth Age, we have virtually no way of verifying the process by which He became a god, nor do we know whether He has already fallen?"
Odis paused for a moment and then continued, "Let's continue. The 'Dragon of Imagination' has at least two subordinate gods: the 'Dragon of Nightmares' Asulehod and the 'Dragon of Wisdom' Herabogen."
"The former was the son of the 'Dragon of Imagination,' and it is said that he perished when the 'Ancient Sun God' took back the authority of the 'Dragon of Imagination,' becoming a level 0 sealed artifact."
Klein thought to himself: I know this all too well! "0-08" - A stroke of genius from Asulehold!
Odis glanced at everyone: "The second one, the 'Dragon of Wisdom,' as we mentioned before, secretly allied himself with the 'Ancient Sun God' after the 'Ancient Sun God' appeared, and later became one of the eight 'Angel Kings.'"
"At the beginning of the Fourth Age, he became the 'god of knowledge and wisdom'."
Although this was the second time they had heard the news, everyone's expressions gradually became serious.
This is a dark chapter in the history of a righteous god!
Odis continued without pausing, "There should still be ancient dragons surviving. One of them seems to be in East Chester County of the Kingdom of Loen..."
"Justice" Audrey paused, "In East Chestershire?"
The Hall family's fiefdom was located in East Chestershire.
"...This information comes from my analysis of concrete news about the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'," Odis said, glancing at Audrey intentionally or unintentionally.
"It is said that while investigating local dragon worship in a village in East Chestershire, they suddenly lost control or went mad."
"First of all, the presence of a dragon in that area is noteworthy, and secondly, it resembles the abilities of a high-sequence extraordinary individual through the 'spectator' pathway."
"Later, during a Tarot discussion, I heard Miss 'Justice' talk about her exploration of the ocean of collective consciousness when she was in her family's fiefdom, which further confirmed my guess."
"In the ocean of collective consciousness of all creatures in East Chestershire, there is a dragon of the 'spectator' pathway, and it is highly likely to be at the level of an angel."
Audrey was initially surprised, because the information the "Hermit" mentioned about the "Psychological Alchemy Society" was something she had revealed at the Tarot meeting. At that time, she had no idea that such an astonishing secret was hidden behind this information.
However, she quickly felt relieved, because the "Hermit" was very good at analyzing intelligence and could often extract surprising information from seemingly ordinary pieces of information.
Cattleya, Alger, and others also recalled that at a tarot meeting earlier this year, "Miss Justice" shared her experience of exploring the ocean of collective consciousness.
At the time, they also realized that the "spiritual dragon" was at least at the level of a demigod, but it was not associated with concepts such as "ancient dragon" or "imaginary dragon from the gods".
Odis continued, "There should be other ancient dragons still alive, but they should be hidden very well. At least we haven't found any clues yet."
He paused briefly before continuing, "The 'Bound God' has at least two subordinate gods. One is the 'God of Spirits' Thorzner, whom we've mentioned before. He later joined the 'Redemption Rose' and was renamed 'Ā Bound GodĀ ' in the early stages of the fifth season."
"But from the middle of the Fifth Age, 'Ā Bound GodĀ ' seemed to have disappeared, vanishing from people's sight."
"Based on the fact that the 'Rose School' has split into two factions, I speculate that the 'Ā Bound GodĀ ' must have been influenced and corrupted by the 'Mother Tree of Desire' very early on."
"He is now likely hiding somewhere that makes it easy for him to maintain his own state, and is working hard to fight against the pollution of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
Klein recalled his previous conversation with "Miss Bodyguard" Sharon and felt that the "Hermit's" guess made a lot of sense.
Most members of the "Rose School" were influenced by the "Mother Tree of Desire" and degenerated into the "Indulgence School".
Another group, unaffected by the "Mother Tree of Desire" or only minimally affected, is the "Temperance Faction." This faction still devoutly believes in the "Ā Bound GodĀ ," even though the "Ā Bound GodĀ " rarely responds.
"The Magician" Fors also recalled that in a previous transaction, "The Hermit" did say that "Ā Bound GodĀ " seemed to have been influenced by the "Mother Tree of Desire" in the Second Age.
"I also know that the 'King of the Alien Species' had a subordinate god known as the 'God of War,' who perished in the divine war that took place in the Second Age," Odis said.
"I wonder if His characteristics ultimately fell into the hands of 'Red Angel' Medici?"
He paused briefly before continuing, "'The Destroyer Wolf' has at least five subordinate gods: 'Goddess of Misfortune' Amanises, 'God of the Dead' Salinger, 'God of Wishes' Cortal, and later Antigonus and 'Mother of the Sky'."
"We've already mentioned the two before. The 'Goddess of Misfortune' is now the 'Goddess of Night,' and many things about her are 'secrets.'"
"I don't know the process by which the 'Goddess of Misfortune' became a god, but I guess she must have played an active role in the war of the gods in the Second Age."
"At that time, the deity of the 'Sleepless' pathway was the 'Destruction Wolf,' and there were also corresponding ancient gods in the two adjacent pathways of the 'Sleepless' pathway."
"These are the 'Giant King' corresponding to the 'Warrior' path and the 'Phoenix Ancestor' corresponding to the 'Corpse Collector' path."
"If the 'Goddess of Misfortune' wants to become a god, one of them must fall."
"Back then, there was no concept of adjacent paths, so it seemed that there was only one way left: to 'find a way' to make the 'Destruction Wolf' perish."
"Of course, it's also possible that the 'Goddess of Misfortune' was just lucky enough to have waited for such an opportunity."
Alger thought to himself, "'The Goddess of Misfortune' is more fortunate?" To me, this sounds like the "Hermit's" satire.
Other members shared similar thoughts, feeling that the "Goddess of Misfortune" probably didn't get her chance through "luck."
Emlyn, the "Moon," clenched his fists upon hearing this, but then sighed helplessly. What good would it do to know these secrets? Could he question the "Goddess of the Night"?
Emlyn knew perfectly well that he might be killed before he even saw the "Goddess of the Night".
He silently told himself: I still need to work hard to become stronger and get promoted as soon as possible!
Odis gave everyone a few seconds to process the news before continuing, "After the fall of the Destruction Wolf, the 'God of the Dead' joined the 'Phoenix Ancestor'."
After the 'Destroyer Wolf' fell, Antigonus and the 'Mother of the Sky' hid in the Hornach Mountains and established the 'Night Kingdom'.
"Later, Antigonus joined the camp of the 'Blood Emperor' Tudor. After the 'Blood Emperor' fell, he was severely injured and his current whereabouts are unknown, but he is most likely somewhere in the Hornach Mountains."
"The Mother of Heaven perished after the destruction of the Kingdom of Night."
He paused briefly and then said, "'God of Wishes' Cortal seems to be an angel of the 'Diviner' pathway. After the 'Great Cataclysm,' he disappeared from people's sight. He is most likely in the 'Forsaken Land.'"
In fact, Odis was certain that He was the angel of the "diviner" path, and that He was in the "forsaken land".
But he felt it was better to be vague about this.
Klein took this message to heart, thinking it might come in handy in the future.
"The Sun" Derrick suddenly straightened his back, then thought for a moment but couldn't recall the relevant news.
Odis smiled and said to "Little Sun": "No need to think about it. Even if you had met this angel, there would only be two possible outcomes."
"First, you won't even notice Him. Second, everyone in Silver City will become His 'puppet'."
"And since you are not a 'puppet' now, it means that even if you had encountered each other, you would not have noticed each other."
The other members were taken aback, but they also felt that the answer from "the hermit" made sense, after all, he was an angel.
Derrick breathed a sigh of relief: thankfully, He wasn't interested in the Silver City.
Odis continued, "I don't know about the other subordinate gods of the 'Phoenix Ancestor,' I only know that the 'God of the Dead,' Salinger, was once a subordinate god of this ancient god."
"As for the 'God of the Dead,' he later became the 'Emperor of the Underworld,' and ultimately perished at the end of the Fourth Age."
Then, as if speaking meaningfully, he said, "As for the process of the 'God of the Dead' becoming a god, I have already shared my speculations and thoughts before, so I will not go into details here."
Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze table, thought to himself: I noticed it even without you reminding me! The characteristics that the "God of the Dead" used to become a god must have come from the "Phoenix Ancestor".
Not only Him, but the "Goddess of Misfortune" also derived her divine attributes from the "Destruction Wolf." The "God of Spirits" derivedĀ his divineĀ attributes from the "King of the Alien Species." Additionally, there's the "Dragon of Wisdom's" betrayal of the "Dragon of Imagination."
Klein thought to himself: This is what it means to be a follower of a god? Everyone is watching the characteristics within their own ancient god's body; it can even be described as "being wary of fire, theft, and followers of gods."
Odis concluded, "The last ancient god, the 'Demon King,' probably had three subordinate gods, who later became the heads of three demon families: Nos, Andrerad, and Belial."
"According to information I obtained from other sources, the Andrerad family and the Belial family began to decline more than a thousand years ago."
"And the reason for their decline seems to be a curse."
The other members were all taken aback. The "Priestess" Cattleya was hearing such information for the first time. She then asked, "What kind of curse is it?"
"I'm not entirely sure myself," Odis replied. "It seems to be related to the 'Demon King'."
The "Demon King" did explain the reason for the curse to him, but Odis did not completely believe what he said.
Caldelia said "Oh," not surprised by the answer, after all, the "Hermit" wasn't a demon and it was unlikely that he would know the answer.
Seeing that no one had any further questions, Odis then said, "That concludes all the details of this transaction."
As usual, the other members quietly digested the intelligence they had just acquired.
Klein, the initiator of the transaction, thought to himself: Although this transaction did not yield any particularly surprising information, the analysis of the ancient gods and their followers has essentially clarified the dynamics of the gods from the Second Age to the Fourth Age, and even the Fifth Age.
Alger also remarked: The "godhood rate" among the gods is very high. Another group with a very high "godhood rate" is the "King of Angels." Of the seven gods, six come from these two groups.
After a dozen seconds of silence in the hall, "The Sun" Derrick initiated a deal for the "Extraordinary Weapon".
Now that he no longer worries about the Council of Six investigating the origin of these weapons, he trades 50 to 70 "extraordinary weapons" every week.
In order to create a large number of "extraordinary weapons", Odis had Hugh and Allen constantly purchase various spiritual materials, and at the same time, he began to plant and raise spiritual plants and animals on Cruise Island.
The price difference in this transaction is currently one of Odis's main sources of income.
The moon "Emlin" said, "Gentlemen, please keep an eye out for the characteristics of the 'Vampire Viscount,' also known as the 'Crimson Scholar.'"
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
He felt that he should be able to fully digest the potion within two or three months, so he planned to prepare the extraordinary traits needed for his advancement.
Odis thought for a moment and said, "I have it here, 7,500 pounds."
Yesterday, he seized a "Crimson Scholar" trait. In addition, during Bayam's operation against the "Rose School," Odis also seized a corresponding trait.
Emlyn was taken aback, not expecting his need to be met so immediately, so he said, "Please let me think about it."
The main problem is that he doesn't have enough money right now, so he needs to find a way to raise more.
After that, there were no further trading requests from the participants, and the discussion began.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," first turned his head to look at the "Little Sun" beside him: "Are you still in Silver City?"
"Yes, my recent tasks are to familiarize myself with the abilities and patrol the surrounding area," Derrick said without any hesitation.
Alger pondered for a moment and said, "That 'shepherd' elder hasn't come to see you recently?"
"No," Derrick replied. "The Council of Six seems to be busy with the former chief's tomb."
At the last Tarot meeting, "Little Sun" mentioned that the former chief of the City of Silver built a tomb deep underground and moved in, and then never came out again.
At the time, everyone suspected that he was preparing to switch to Sequence 3 of the "Death" pathway.
However, the process did not seem to go very smoothly. According to Little Sun's observations in recent weeks, members of the "Six-Person Council" frequently appeared near the tomb.
Alger said, "Pay attention to this matter. At this crucial stage of learning about the clues to contact the outside world, you are studying the tomb of the former chief. Something must have happened in the tomb, which may put you in danger."
"Yes." Derrick nodded vigorously; he had also been trying to gather intelligence recently.
Then "Justice" Audrey said, "I recently received news that something has happened in Lenburg recently, which is said to have severely damaged Fenneport and Intis's forces infiltrating the west."
"And in the process, two nobles died."
The news had just been brought to Backlund by a Loen merchant. The Loen nobles were not interested in the struggles of this small country; they only started talking about it after hearing that two nobles had died.
Although they were two nobles from a small country, nobles are very interested in the movements of other nobles, even those of minor nobles.
Because they also realized that this era placed new demands on the nobility; they had to be well-informed and learn from the experiences of other nobles.
Audrey brought this up because she had heard that something noteworthy had suddenly happened in Remberg, a place that hadn't seen anything major for a century or two: a very capable governor had suddenly appeared in Bernier, the western province.
Based on the description of the governor, Audrey felt that he was like a "hermit".
So when she got to this point, she looked at the "hermit".
Odis smiled generously and said, "I am well aware of the problems in the Western Province, because I have just become one of the governors of that province."
Audrey took a quiet breath: It really is him! No wonder there hasn't been any news about the "Mysterious Admiral" in the recent Ross Daily.
"The Magician" Fors suddenly felt a little confused: Wasn't "The Hermit" the "Pirate General"? How did he suddenly become the governor? No, no, no, that's not the point. He's a wanted criminal. Why would the Remnburg government hire him as governor? Does this government have such a low standard for appointing officials?
Emlyn was also stunned, and simply said, "The King of Lenburg, could he be... could he be a pirate king?"
Odis smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. I became governor because of the recommendation of the Church of Knowledge."
"However, the Remnburg government will not admit that they hired a 'pirate general' as governor."
Klein immediately thought of "General Iceberg": I had a feeling before that "The Hermit" was deliberately getting close to "General Iceberg" in order to use "General Iceberg's" channels to establish contact with the Church of Knowledge.
Audrey then asked, "Why did you do this? I mean, why did you suddenly stop being a pirate general and become a governor instead?"
The other members also looked at the "Hermit," eager to know the answer, especially Gadalia, who couldn't understand what the "Hermit" was doing.
Odis pondered for a second or two before saying, "There seems to be no need for me to hide my true purpose from you."
People's curiosity has increased.
Odis said, "Based on my observation of the current situation, there may be some large-scale wars in the near future, and I hope to use such wars to establish my own power."
This answer surprised everyone. After hearing it, Alger took a deep breath and thought to himself: This idea is... very bold.
He has always hoped that when the time is right, he can establish his own power.
But before that, Alger had only thought about it, but when he heard the "hermit" say that, he suddenly felt his blood boil.
Cattleya continued her discussion with the "Hermit": "Do you think the current tense situation between countries will trigger a large-scale war between them?"
Even though she spends most of her time at sea, Cattleya has noticed that relations between the various countries of the Northern Continent seem to be gradually becoming tense.
"This is inevitable," Odis said. "Has no one noticed? Now that countries have entered the industrial age, the speed of producing goods far exceeds the speed of consuming them."
"They did not lower prices as a result, or rather, the prices of many goods could no longer be lowered."
"But the problem is that food, clothing and rent have already depleted most people's income, and they can easily go bankrupt because of some small things."
"For example, many families go bankrupt if a member gets sick, or if the price of bread rises."
"As the number of goods increases, the number of poor people also increases."
"Although the interests of the rulers are protected by extraordinary power, the slums have now become areas where evil gods run rampant. The evil gods love those who struggle in pain and despair."
Klein thought to himself: In summary, it's about "severe overcapacity" and "a widening gap between the rich and the poor".
Then he thought: It's only because there are extraordinary forces in this world that many mass incidents have occurred and new ideas have emerged. If these issues cannot be resolved internally, it could even trigger a world war.
Cattleya nodded slowly, agreeing with the "Hermit's" analysis.
Audrey fell into deep thought. She had also noticed this problem recently and wanted to know how to solve it, but she felt increasingly powerless as she pondered it.
Because the extraordinary is a mountain pressing down on this world, and an unshakeable one at that.
As long as extraordinary beings exist, the world can continue to function stably, but the price of doing so is the sacrifice of countless ordinary people.
Fors also fell into deep thought. She observed many social problems, but she did not think about them more deeply because she felt that they were not her responsibility.
Odiston paused for a moment and then said, "Although the world we live in appears glamorous on the surface, it has long been rotten and stinking inside."
"Someone has to step up and do something reliable to make the world have a more hopeful future."
Everyone was stunned when he said that.
If we disregard the sequence and only consider intellect and vision, the "Justice," "The Hanged Man," and "The High Priestess" at the Tarot meeting are already considered the elite of this world.
But the Hanged Man and the Priestess never thought about making the world a better place; most of the time, they were just thinking about how to make themselves better.
Audrey, the "Justice," did have similar thoughts, but she had already developed an aristocratic mindset, and her thoughts didn't have much substantive meaning.
Neither the Magician nor the Moon had considered this. They both felt that giving hope to the world was the business of the strong, nobles, and officials, not theirs.
Klein was well aware that while he could boast about such things, he had no experience in doing them and his negligence could lead to the deaths of many people.
At this moment, Gadriya finally realized that the "Queen" had said that the "Hermit" was someone who would change the world order.
At the same time, she also realized that "the Queen" was not just an investment in "hermits".
Based on Cattleya's understanding of the "Queen," if the "Hermit" truly possesses such abilities, the "Queen" will undoubtedly do everything in her power to help him.
Alger also came to his senses, and his first thought was: Is this the "Hermit's" target? Or the "God of Mysteries'" target?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Odis smiled and said, "That may be a bit unrealistic. At least when I am weak, I will not reveal my purpose in front of people I do not trust."
However, you can say it in front of someone you trust; this is to "declare your intentions".
The other members didn't say anything because they didn't know what to say; it was a question that felt somewhat unfamiliar to them.
"Alright, let's discuss something else," Odis said. "The Pirate Conference was successfully held, with six 'Pirate Generals' participating. At the conference, the 'Pirate Alliance Standing Committee' was established, with each 'Pirate General' serving as a standing committee member, and the 'Great Pirates' attending as ordinary committee members."
Such things cannot be kept secret. With the "great pirates" gone from Cruz Island, the matter of the "Pirate Alliance Standing Committee" is no longer a secret.
Even those "great pirates" were eager to let more people know when they were boasting, in order to highlight their special status.
So Odis simply decided to release this information proactively.
The other members, apart from Cattleya and Alger, were stunned when they heard this. Klein, who was at the head of the bronze table, thought to himself: Why does this sound like the structure of the United Nations?
"The Magician" Fors thought: "It looks so high-class. It's just a pirate alliance. Why make it so formal?"
When Alger received this intelligence, he also marveled that "Admiral Mystery" was a competent politician. He established the basic system of the pirate alliance in just over two hours of meetings. He had never thought that politicians and pirates would get mixed up together.
Caldelia said, "More than that, I'm curious about how you manage to mass-produce those 'miracle drugs'?"
She simply asked the question without offering any explanation to the uninformed "Justice" and others.
Klein and Alger, who knew about the "miracle drugs" sold by the "Hermit," had similar questions.
In the extraordinary realm, this medicine requires little "technical expertise" and can be prepared by any "pharmacist".
However, this process cannot be mass-produced unless hundreds or thousands of "pharmacists" are brought together and made to work to the best of their ability.
This would be very costly. According to the official Extraordinary Organization's salary guidelines, an Extraordinary at Sequence 9 would earn at least Ā£6 per week. A team of 500 "pharmacists" would need to earn Ā£3,000 per week.
There are also management costs, operating costs, and so on. When you calculate it all, you can't make any money selling a "miracle drug" for 15 sulphurs.
This is why Klein initially thought the "Hermit" was doing charity work.
The key point is that this idea can only be realized in theory. If 500 "pharmacists" were gathered together, they would be checked by official extraordinary individuals within two days at most to find the copper pennies in the gas meter.
Secret organizations also regard this place as a "gathering place" for "pharmacist" characteristics.
Odis pondered for a moment before saying, "Do you all remember my research and discoveries about magic circles and 'mystical symbols'?"
"Justice" Audrey and the others nodded immediately, but Cattleya was somewhat bewildered because she had not yet joined the Tarot Club when Odis was talking about those things.
"This was an application of magic circles and mystical symbols." Odis said, then suddenly brought up another matter: "Has anyone wondered why the 'Lymanor's Travel Notes' that Miss 'Magician' rented earlier could record extraordinary abilities?"
This topic was somewhat of a leap, but Cattleya continued along the line: "Because of extraordinary existence."
Odis further inquired, "And the specific process?"
Cattleya paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
At this point, Odis asked Fors, "Is this how the magical item 'records'? When it records an extraordinary ability, it forms extraordinary characters that appear on the corresponding 'paper'?"
Fors paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"Let me tell you about my observations of the 'Recorders'," Odis said. "When they are recording abilities, it's as if they have opened a book in their eyes, transforming the extraordinary abilities they see into illusory symbols and recording them in the book of their eyes."
"When you release your power, the book in your eyes will open again, find the corresponding page, release those symbols, and you can display the corresponding power."
Everyone seemed to understand the meaning of "hermit," and then they all felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
Odis continued, "According to my research, extraordinary abilities can be 'expressed' using symbols."
"That's more like the true nature of this world, just like how all objects can be transformed into clusters of illusory information by angels through the 'Secret Seeker' pathway."
Klein was taken aback: The digital world?
The other members felt that the topic had suddenly become more sophisticated, and that it had completely overturned their understanding of the subject.
After giving everyone a few seconds to think, Odis continued, "Of course, it's not to say that any one approach can 'express' the extraordinary abilities of the others."
"Based on my observation, there are only three ways to accomplish this: 'apprentice,' 'peeper,' and 'reader.'"
"The 'Secret Prayer' method won't work either; the 'Shepherd' shepherds the soul, not directly 'expressing' extraordinary abilities."
