Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 13 Senior Star's Secret Tutoring of Klein

After a while, a deep red and illusory light emerged like a tide, appearing out of nowhere from all around and submerging Star in an instant.

The next moment, Star appeared in the magnificent temple above the gray fog, which looked like the residence of the Giant King.

A deep red flower bloomed on one side of the long bronze table, surging up like a fountain and falling down in large numbers, "carving" out a vague figure of Star. His position had not changed at all compared to the last time.

Glancing around, he realized that Klein had already made preparations for the party.

After secretly complaining about the grandeur of Xiao Ke's bronze temple, he looked up and saw Klein, disguised as "The Fool", sitting on the upper side of the hall.

They looked at each other, Mr. Fool and Mr. Wheel of Fortune staring at each other in bewilderment.

In order to break the awkwardness, Star took the initiative to tease: "Mr. Fool, there are only you and me here, let's be frank. Did everything go well yesterday? How did those policemen treat you?"

Star was still worried that after he revealed his identity, Klein would not want to join the Nighthawks because of the strict internal regulations.

In that case, Xiao Ke's early promotion would probably be delayed, as it would take some time just to gather the materials for the potion.

Klein was actually a little skeptical about Star's "golden finger" after the incident, but now he couldn't help but believe it a little more. He replied with some hesitation: "Senior Star, the police did come to our door yesterday."

After thinking about it, he directly told them about the notes and classmates, especially about the sentence "Everyone will die, including me".

"After I woke up, I found the revolver still on the table. The original owner must have been manipulated to commit suicide."

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Klein recalled the hideous wound on his temple when he traveled through time, and described it again, then asked, "Senior Star, do you know what the reason is?"

After listening to Klein's description, Star sorted out the answers to these questions and had a general idea in his mind. He spoke in a low voice, "No wonder I didn't see any mysterious power that affected you that day. It turns out that you provoked the notebook of the secret society."

"The Secret Order?"

"Well, this is an ancient organization. They were established in the Fourth Epoch and are related to some nobles of the Solomon Empire at the time. The Antigonus family's notes originated from them."

Star went on to explain.

"This is really strange. If it was such an important thing, why would they let it be lost?" Klein was puzzled. After complaining, he continued to ask, "Senior Sta, do you know about the Solomon Empire and the Antigonus family?"

Star deliberately showed a puzzled expression: "Well, that happened in history. My golden finger is not omniscient. I only know a small part of it."

"Which parts?" Klein immediately asked another question. It didn't matter how much he knew. He was currently lacking information in this area.

"Let's talk about the Solomon Empire first. This is an empire in the northern continent ruled by the Black Emperor of the Fourth Epoch. There are many families in the empire, and the main supporting families are these: the Zoroaster Family, the Zaratul Family, the Medici Family... The god supporting them is the True Creator."

After listening to Star's explanation of this part of history, Klein's eyes widened, unable to hide his surprise.

Is this what you call knowing very little? It is obvious that all that was revealed are secrets.

It turns out that there are gods behind the Quaternary Era, which is worthy of being called the "Age of the Gods". Senior Star is really modest. If the history professors in the university knew about these discoveries, they would be excited.

The history of the Quaternary is full of mystery and many gaps. Even the unearthed tombs, ancient cities and documents are very few. Historians and archaeologists can only rely on the vague theological texts of the seven major churches that are mainly based on faith education to barely piece together a little of the "original appearance" and know the existence of the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, and the Trunsoest Empire.

It’s not like now. These shocking secrets have been revealed by Senior Star. If they can be confirmed, they will be major discoveries.

Then, questions arose in his mind.

What is the real Creator?
Black Emperor, isn't this the name that Senior Star mentioned before when talking about the lawyer path?
The Zoroastrian family, the Zarathus family, the Medici family, what is behind these families?
Are these the nobles with ancient heritage that Mr. Hanged Man mentioned? Similar to the hidden families in the novels of the previous life? They should be very powerful, right?

I wonder if they are still accepting people and how rich they are?
Star didn't know that Klein had secretly completed another round of transformation, and just continued: "As for the Antigonus family, this family has been destroyed by the Church of Evernight, otherwise the notes would not have fallen into the hands of the Secret Order."

This... Klein's eyes narrowed, and a chill suddenly surged through his body:
It seems that the Nighthawks valued the Antigonus family notebook far more than he imagined!

No wonder they kept checking my problems.

Klein calmed down and continued to follow his thoughts, asking, "Why did the Secret Order collect this notebook?"

"Because the path mastered by the Secret Order is the same as that of the Antigonus family, both of which are the path of fortune-tellers."

"Fortune teller? Oh, you said before that The Fool has mastered the path of fortune teller. What does that mean?"

"It's fate's guidance. I didn't expect you to choose this code name without knowing this. It seems that the power of this gray fog is stronger than I expected."

Star thought of Klein's pretentious look and laughed, accidentally teasing Klein.

Klein was filled with embarrassment and guilt, and his thoughts were in a mess.

No, why do you always bring up this kind of thing?

Senior Star's behavior of leaving things unsaid and deliberately keeping people in suspense is really annoying, okay? The Riddler, get out of Gotham.

Of course, Star didn't let Klein be confused for too long. He raised his voice and asked, "Do you know the way of God?"

"Are you talking about the Sequence Path? I want to ask, the twenty-two paths of God... Sequence Path... uh, can these two terms be equated? Each complete Sequence Path is the road to the throne of God?"

"You are right. Every path to God, or path of sequence, ultimately leads to the one and only true God. The rank of the true God is the highest sequence. And the Fool is the pinnacle of fortune-tellers."

No wonder it is said that each orthodox church has mastered at least one complete sequence. It turns out that their gods themselves are the highest in this way.

This somewhat "blasphemous" thought emerged in Klein's mind, and he had some understanding in his heart.

Wait, if the pinnacle of every path is the true God, then wouldn’t it be disrespectful for me to use the name “Fool”?

When he thought of this, Klein's heartbeat quickened.
