Chapter 67: Reflection
Following that, Ebner explained the origins of the Demoness Sect and the abilities of Beyonders of the Assassin pathway.
Klein listened attentively. After all, the Instigator hidden in Tingen City had yet to be captured. It was very likely that he had the organization's help behind him.
"On the surface, most of the members of the Knowledge Society are Beyonders of the Apprentice pathway. They believe that the mind is the essence of humans, and the body is only a cage that binds the mind. If a person is evil, it means that they are affected by the body. They have to use their spirituality to obtain knowledge, allowing the mind to gradually be freed from the body. Then, through the layers of tests of the astral body, they will ultimately leave the material world and return to the purest and truest self, obtaining eternal redemption. However, it's very likely that this organization is just a subordinate faction of the Demoness Sect or even other names."
Ebner, who had been forced to temporarily leave Backlund by the Demoness, didn't have a good impression of this sect. He sold them all.
"But I heard that the Demoness Sect was also known as the Demoness family in the Fourth Epoch. Back then, they had few members and relied on their bloodline to reproduce. Furthermore, they would kill the father of their child and abandon the baby boy. Therefore, all the members were women. And there were many male members in the Psychic Association…" Alger raised a question.
"Abandon the baby boy? Kill the child's father? No, they wouldn't do that!" Ebner glanced at Alger and asked, "Do you know what a Sequence 7 of the Assassin pathway is called?"
Alger shook his head, indicating that he wasn't sure.
"The Assassin pathway's Sequence 7 is called Witch," Ebner said simply.
"Witch?" Audrey's attention was attracted by the word, and she naturally made the corresponding association in her mind. She couldn't help but ask, "If a man consumed this potion, how would he act?"
Wearing a beautiful dress and putting on exquisite makeup, imitating a lady's every move? She muttered inwardly in disgust and bafflement.
Witch? It can't be what I think it is, right? Klein, who was more agile, had a vague guess.
"Miss Justice, you have to know that when a man consumes this potion, he can't be called a man. He has already become a true lady, from the inside out!" Ebner replied with a smile.
As expected… Klein suddenly recalled the night when the official Beyonders had surrounded Tris, and he had strangely escaped the encirclement.
He, no, could it be that she had already become a 'witch' by then?
"Goddess, the Witch potion can change a person's gender?" Audrey blurted out.
This… This is really unimaginable! Mr. Fool didn't deny it, which means it's true! This is simply a miracle! This is a world of mystery and Beyonders. This is a world filled with all sorts of unbelievable things! This is the world I yearn for! I-I, why am I a little excited…
After calming down a little, Audrey quickly and guiltily glanced at Mr. Fool, feeling a little remorse for actually chanting the Evernight Goddess's name in front of "Him."
Ebner continued, "Yes, but it can only make men become women. Women will correspondingly increase their charm. Be it their looks or skin condition, they will appear better on the original foundation. This is why the upper echelons of the Demoness Sect are all women. Furthermore, they are very passionate about nurturing male Instigators. I believe this has something to do with the Primordial Demoness."
"Why?" Audrey subconsciously asked. Then, as though she had thought of something, she widened her eyes and said, "Could it be…"
She did not finish her sentence, but the other three men understood what she meant.
Alger felt that this topic was too dangerous. Even in front of Mr. Fool, speculating about an evil god was something he never dared to imagine in the past.
As for Audrey, she didn't think that far ahead. She stopped only because she felt that the latter part of her sentence shouldn't come from a lady's mouth. Instead, she asked curiously, "What kind of existence is the Primordial Demoness? Is she really an evil god?"
Ebner didn't expect Miss Justice to be so rash at this moment. She didn't have any cheat codes and dared to ask about God's knowledge…
However, he still thought about it and answered indirectly, "At the end of the Fourth Epoch, the Death God and the Primordial Demoness joined forces to bring a Pale Disaster to the Northern Continent. In the end, the Death God was killed by the seven deities, and the Primordial Demoness fell into a deep sleep due to her heavy injuries."
Klein would read this information from Roselle's diary in another month or so. It shouldn't be a problem for him to reveal it now.
Furthermore, Ebner also wanted to know if Klein and Mr. Azik would think of something ahead of time if they discussed this question. The more variables there were, the more likely Tingen's story would deviate.
And at that moment, Alger and Klein were stunned. They thought in unison, The seven deities failed to kill the Primordial Demoness despite joining forces? Although it was very likely that the seven deities' focus was on Death, it also meant that the Primordial Demoness was a true god.
At that moment, the two sides of the ancient and mottled bronze table were silent. Even Ebner, who had wanted to gasp in surprise, felt somewhat embarrassed.
He couldn't help but think that the next time, he would really have to make up a few pages of Roselle's diary that were stuffed with dried goods and hand it over. This way, Mr. Fool would be able to cooperate and knock on the table to give me Kopgar's evidence. After all, doing it like this would be too silly.
Ebner, who had no choice but to break the silence, went on to talk about the Secret Order. He still didn't get too involved. It was best to let the owner of Sefirah Castle know about the Seer himself. All he needed to do was finish his explanation of Alger.
After Ebner finished speaking, everyone exchanged some information. Klein, whose spirituality was almost at its limit, announced the end of the gathering.
"Follow your will." Audrey, Alger, and Ebner stood up at the same time.
After severing the connection and seeing their figures shatter and disappear, Klein rubbed his glabella and attempted to imagine a "smurf."
Mr. Tower clearly knew a lot, but the feeling of not being able to ask was too unbearable.
Just as he had this thought, he saw a figure appear at the bottom of the long bronze table. The figure was dressed in a black tailcoat and a half top hat. It had a blank expression and its movements were dull. Even with the illusory gray fog enveloping it, he could clearly tell that something was amiss.
No way… Klein experimented a few more times and sighed. He had no choice but to give up on the idea of creating a smurf account.
Just as he was about to leave, he habitually came into contact with an illusory star nearby.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a faint and indiscernible prayer in the crimson red!
…
Opening his eyes, Ebner sat up in his bed at the inn. He thought back to what he had done in the first Tarot Club and reflected on himself.
Without the enhancement of the Machinery Hivemind, many of my words are clearly inappropriate. Although it's to establish my persona, there's no need to act so deliberately… It's likely that the transmigrator's inexplicable sense of superiority has affected my emotions. In addition, the relatively safe environment in Sefirah Castle has made me somewhat free…
"This isn't good. I can't be too calm and utilitarian. It's even worse to be too willful… I have to find a balance in this."
"Speaking of which, Vice Admiral Iceberg's state of absolute calmness without any emotional changes is the most ideal."
After that, Ebner had just removed the spirituality seal in the room when Xio returned from outside.
"What have you got from visiting friends?" Ebner asked with a smile, seeing that she was in a good mood.
"I got quite a lot. I sold the other materials on the Dragon-Eyed Python for 50 pounds! Ebner, I heard that there's a secret Beyonder gathering tonight. Do you want to take a look?" After killing the Dragon-Eyed Python in the cave, Ebner had taken the eyeballs, and Miss Gwen had gotten the snakeskin, while the rest of the body tissues had been given to Xio.
Ebner thought for a moment. Since they were going to take the train to East Chester first thing in the morning, there was not much time, and he had to visit Jane, who was living in seclusion in Enmat, according to his previous plan, so he could only say regretfully, "I have something on, so I won't go with you."
Xio nodded and asked again, "Is there anything you want? I'll keep an eye out for you at the party."
"If the heart of the Tree of Elders appears, buy it for me." Ebner thought for a moment, then took out 500 pounds from his wallet and handed it to Xio. He then took out five brass charms from his pocket and continued, "If you don't have enough money, sell these charms."
These charms were made from the materials of Damir Harbor's Demon. The effects were mostly strange.
