Chapter 200: The Twilight Hermits
Chapter 200: The Twilight Hermits
Late one night, Truman played with a badge in his hand. The badge was engraved with a dragon-shaped head, which seemed imaginary but not real. You could faintly feel the undulating dark sea around the badge.
This is the ocean of the collective subconscious.
The entire badge was "picked up" by Truman in the ocean of collective subconscious.
Ahem... In fact, he felt something in his heart and reached out to fish it out. At the same time, he modified the information above and pointed it at him.
Its function is simple, that is, to guide the direction in the sea of ??collective subconsciousness, and the end is probably a dream.
In the dream is a party with a long history that may have existed in the early Fourth Age.
"Go and have a look!" Truman followed the connection and found a dream party in the sea of ??collective subconscious.
And now it's party time.
"It seems pretty good!" Truman's consciousness dived directly into the dream.
What comes into view is a large church of the Creator, but it is not dedicated to the one from the Third Age, but to the "Primary Creator".
The church is divided into two floors: the inner and outer floors. The outer space is extremely large and can accommodate thousands of people to pray, while the inner floor is where meetings are held.
Truman walked into it and saw a very large long table with dozens of high-backed chairs beside it.
"Another newcomer?" Most of those high-backed chairs were already occupied by people. These people looked at Truman and either nodded in a friendly manner or showed indifference.
The appearance of these people is unconcealed and displayed directly. What stands out is that they are full of confidence.
"There is a vacancy here." A voice sounded, and a member of the meeting closest to Truman asked Truman to take a seat.
It wasn't because that person was so hospitable, but because it was his first time attending the meeting and he subconsciously wanted to find allies.
Truman turned around and saw a familiar face.
Russell Gustav.
And here is the "Twilight Hermits", a secret organization established by Adam.
The people who can sit here are all the core members of the Twilight Hermits, not the kind of peripheral handymen.
Russell Gustav was able to get an invitation to directly enter the inner circle of the "Twilight Hermits" by virtue of his rank of Sequence Six, most likely because of his special status in the "Church of Craftsmen".
"The two newcomers have arrived. On behalf of the president, I will introduce our basic rules." An old man closest to the president stood up and looked at Russell and Truman.
This is a Sequence Three "Dream Weaver" of the "Audience" pathway, representing the mysterious convener.
People here also have guesses about the convener.
"We believe in the original Creator, and everything we do is for the awakening of that One..."
"Twilight will inevitably come, and the end will be inevitable. At that time, He will wake up from his deep sleep, make everything belong to Himself, and create a new world..."
"We are all part of the One..."
"People always lose themselves little by little until they 'fall asleep', so we must observe ourselves and remember ourselves..."
Russell listened carefully. It was the first time for him to participate in such an outrageously high-level gathering, so he was very cautious.
Truman, on the other hand, twitched the corner of his mouth. The last sentence always felt like Adam was connoting him.
No, just the phrase "losing myself a little bit" is already an obvious standout.
"In order to welcome the new members, we will give away the knowledge of a certain path of the second 'blasphemous tablet', along with the names of all sequences."
Russell took a breath. The knowledge of a path and the names of all sequences is a huge wealth in itself!
Wait...a second sacrilege slate? !
Russell heard terms that only existed in myths.
"This organization is at the right place!"
Russell excitedly looked at the ancient slate that suddenly appeared in the old man's hand, and wrote down everything he could see.
Except for the knowledge of the "generalist" path, the other paths only have sequence names. If you want to obtain more specific knowledge, you have to pay a corresponding price.
"Very good! Welcome newcomers to join our team!" Many friendly participants applauded.
"But..." the old man suddenly changed his tone, "Just a reminder, if you mention the party and organization-related matters to the outside world without permission, you will be noticed and then cleared."
"The last person to be cleared was the 'Holy Hand' Onofre Ike, a Sequence 2 angel."
Russell's face was solemn and he nodded slightly.
Truman didn't react at all, and the old man just thought he acquiesced.
"The next step is the transaction." The old man nodded with satisfaction.
Many members were silent for a while, and finally someone said, "I need a 'Night Watch' trait."
The "Night Watcher" is the fourth sequence of the "Sleepless One" path of the Church of Dark Night. He is already a demi-god, and he is one of the people with the highest status in the Church of Dark Night.
"I suggest you go directly to the Tranquility Church and kill one. This is the fastest way." Someone taunted directly.
"Of course, in that case, you may have to face the Pope of the Church of the Night."
"The resources of the 'Sleepless One' path are too tight. They are strictly controlled by the Church of the Night, and there are almost no demigod characteristics left outside." Someone else said.
"I suggest you choose 'Demon Hunter' or 'Undead'."
The people here are all high-ranking people, holding unimaginable power and knowing too many secrets.
Russell felt that his world view had been greatly impacted.
In just a few sentences, he had already revealed the knowledge of path exchange, which benefited him a lot.
The person who made the request nodded slightly, "It's okay if it has the other two characteristics."
This time, someone nodded, indicating that they could get the resources.
The resources here are not only features, but also "people".
The characteristics of hunting demigods can only be disclosed here.
"Great, what do you need?"
In the end, some people also proposed the rewards they needed. Gold coins were not the only ones, but more of a transaction in terms of characteristics.
"So advanced!" Russell blinked, like a husky who had blended into a pack of wolves, not daring to speak at all.
However, transactions between demigods and above are rare at such gatherings, and only one has occurred so far.
After that, it became more about the exchange of interests between the various forces.
The people here are all in high positions of power, and the people that Russell could recognize include the ministers of the Emperor Solomon and the generals of the military.
These people are openly trading in the interests of the empire.
As for the transaction objects, they are the kingdoms and church leaders other than Solomon.
"It's... so evil and so powerful!"
Russell sighed, and then he looked at the newcomer next to him, who was attending the meeting for the first time like himself.
It is also an old rule for newcomers to get together.
