lord of the mysteries Chapter 440 - Angel Family

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Klein picked up the diary, Audrey added, Mr. Fool, I still have ten diary pages which will be given to you later. It is for the payment for your previous blessing.

She repeated her private promise so as to not let Mr. Fool think that she had forgotten about it, and the reason why she had provided payment for the information regarding the Twilight Hermit Order was to first settle the debt while having the intention to show off a little.

The payment for the blessing... Fors ruminated over these words and suddenly realized an important oversight on her part.

On the matter regarding the Abraham family, Mr. Fool had sent his angel to help me interfere with the divination! I shouldve paid an appropriate amount... Oh no, I didnt realize this at all... I thought, like all rituals, that it was the end to it once it was completed... For a moment, Fors fell into a panic.

During ordinary ritualistic magic, if one prayed for help from a deity or a corresponding existence, they would perform a sacrifice in advance. Burning essential oils, extracts, and herbal essence that pleased the target was equivalent to making an advanced payment, but in the rituals corresponding to The Fool, there were many steps that could be omitted, and the price could only be paid afterward. Sometimes, there wasnt even a need to offer anything. Fors, who was accustomed to the former, ended up only saying a word of thanks.

She hurriedly looked towards the end of the long bronze table and earnestly said, Honorable Mr. Fool, your divination interference had helped me greatly. I will try to find ten Roselle diary pages as soon as possible as well.

Seeing the performance of Miss Justice and Miss Magician, it dawned on Derrick Berg that he had found a way to fully express his gratitude.

However, the City of Silver doesnt have the diary pages of the so-called Emperor Roselle... Well, Mr. Fool is very interested in history, so Ill have to read more books and records on these... With a thought, Derrick made a promise to Mr. Fool who sat high above them.

The Hanged Man watched all this from the side and had no doubt that The Fool had an angel at his service.

Any organization should have a character like Miss Justice... The power of a role model is limitless... With a lot of debts to collect appearing out of thin air, Klein happily sighed inwardly.

As the high and mighty Mr. Fool, he always found it awkward to directly ask for compensation, and he had always believed that helping the members of his own organization was a normal and reasonable thing to do, without the need for him to make it so reliant on transactions. Thus, he didnt control The World to put on the appropriate performance to remind everyone.

Of course, if Justice and the others were willing to provide payment, then Klein had no intention of refusing it.

Alright. He smiled and nodded before shifting his gaze back to the diary in his hands.

13th January, contact with Mr. Door stabilized.

The powerful Beyonder, whos lost in the darkness and trapped in the storm, didnt rush me to complete a complicated and difficult ritual so as to help him return to the real world.

He seems to have understood that he has to come up with something that would move me, instead of giving me three intangible wishes, in order for me to consider whether I should take the hidden risks of saving him.

Mr. Door temporarily didnt mention this matter and instead, with great interest, chatted about my tarot card creation. Heh heh. The word creation should be written with quotation marks. From this point, its apparent that Mr. Door is able to make contact with the real world at particular times and through particular methods, and he should be able to observe a lot of details.

While talking about The Moon card, I thought of a matter Zaratul mentioned. He said that the Life School of Thought worships the moon, but not the Evernight Goddess. Yes, I added the second half myself!

Hence, I asked the Fourth Epoch expert, Mr. Door, about this question. He chuckled and similarly didnt give a direct answer. However, compared to the furtive Seer who speaks half-truths, making me want to beat him up, hes a lot more frank.

He told me that if he were to choose a card from the tarot cards to represent the Evernight Goddess, he wouldnt choose The Moon, but

The Star!

That makes things very interesting. I pressed, Who is the real owner of The Moon? His reply was even more worthy of relish.

He said with a laugh that The Moon currently has no owner.

If I didnt misunderstand him, then he means that the peak of The Moons pathway is empty. The Sequence 0 is empty!

Thats not right. Isnt there a Primordial Moon? Upon seeing this, Klein suddenly had this thought.

He had already anticipated that the The Moon card didnt represent the Goddess. Whether it was the faith of the Life School of Thought, the attitude of the vampires, or the records in the Book of Secrets, they all vaguely pointed out that Evernight wasnt the Moon.

In contrast, Vampire Ancestor Lilith and the Primordial Moon resembled the Sequence 0 of this pathway in more ways.

According to the City of Silvers history lessons, Lilith had most likely fallen in the Dark Epoch, the Second Epoch. However, the Primordial Moon was an existence that people still believed in and sent responses to even to this day. Of course, those who prayed to Her wouldnt end up well... Why did Mr. Door say that The Moon had no owner at the moment? As seen from the Book of Secrets, the Primordial Moon still existed during the Fourth Epoch... Klein almost frowned.

Soon, he came up with three guesses. First, Mr. Door didnt know enough about the hidden Primordial Moon, but that was a very low possibility; second, that the Primordial Moon was actually the disguise of another deity, not essentially occupying the position of The Moons Sequence 0 pathway; third, that She was a Sequence 1 of The Moons pathway or was in disguise and had the corresponding Sealed Artifact.

And one more possibility, its the response from The Moon pathways Uniqueness.Klein muttered silently.

The most important Beyonder ingredient in the Sequence 0 potion formula described by the Dark Emperor card wasnt all of the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, but something called Uniqueness. Different pathways had different Uniquenesses.

A true god was unique!

Other than the first guess, the other possibilities arent small... What is the Beyonder pathway of The Moon? Klein turned to the second page of the diary and was lucky enough to discover that it was connected to the previous page.

I continued pressing, but Mr. Door refused to say more. Heh, he thinks that Ill rescue him by whetting my appetite? Dream on!

I hid my curiosity and scoffed at Mr. Door for not being respectful enough to true gods. He casually, yescasually replied to me. This is the attitude a Fourth Epoch noble has to the deities.

This guy is too good at acting! However, I really am interested in the nobility of the Fourth Epoch, so I took the opportunity to ask.

Mr. Door told me that in the Tudor Dynasty, there were five noble familiesAbraham, Antigonus, Amon, Tamara, and Jacob. Each family was known as an Angel Family, and they possessed tremendously terrifying strength.

Angel Family, just the name itself raises many problems. It really makes one yearn for it! Mr. Door said that the number of Angel Families in the Fourth Epoch exceeded the five. There were the Zaratul and Zoroast family, which had always been loyal to the Solomon Empire; the Augustus, Sauron, Einhorn, Castiya families of the Trunsoest Dynasty; and the furtive Andariel and Beria families; as well as the Demoness family which stemmed from a true goddess which was one step up from the Angel Families.

So the last winner of the Fourth Epoch was the Trunsoest Dynasty, but where did their royal family go? The four Angel FamiliesAugustus, Sauron, and the othersdivided up the Northern Continent.

Just as Mr. Door said the previous time, the strongest powerhouses in the Fourth Epoch far exceeds my imagination. However, most of them have been buried in the ashes of history. Even the Sauron family has waned, destroyed by me. In another one to two millennia, perhaps the Augustus family might no longer exist. Only the true gods appear capable of forever illuminating the real world.

Although some deities perished in the Fourth Epoch, they should only be few in number. This makes me think of something, something that was previously written in a web novel which I memorized. It can be used here with some changes:

Ashes await those who fail to become true gods!

After the communication period ended, Mr. Door disconnected. Hes like a prisoner whos released on parole for a fixed period of time. And he does know a lot. When he mentioned the Zaratul family, there was faint contempt in his tone.

Perhaps I need to maintain my relationship with Mr. Door. Apart from the Church of the God of Steam, Zaratul, and that secret and ancient organization, I should leave another outlet.

Unlike the saying, a wily hare has far more than three holes!

When Emperor Roselle was struggling in the end, he was only thinking about the organization thats suspected to be the Twilight Hermit Order. He didnt mention Mr. Door at all. Something apparently happened in between... So the ancestor of the Loen royal family, the Augustus family was actually so rich and powerful to be an Angel Family. However, why did the royal family of the Trunsoest Dynasty, to which they were loyal to, disappear just like that... Klein suddenly thought of a few things, and his desire to clear away the fog that shrouded the history of the Fourth Epoch and see its true appearance grew.

This was also the greatest hobby of his bodys original owner.

Perhaps, that underground relic with two side-by-side seats and a terrifying evil spirit will help me answer a lot of questions... Klein lowered his gaze and flipped to the third page.

2nd June, Bernadette massaged my back!

Its good to have a daughter. She knows to care for her old father, and although I can see what she wants at a glance, at least shes willing to put on an act. Besides, she did a good job.

I asked her which Beyonder pathway she wanted. She said she was undecided, but she liked the maxim of do as you wish, but do no harm.

3rd June. I saw Floren again. Hes very different from before, as though hes a different person. No, he still had his original memories and some of his distinctive characteristics, which is enough to prove that hes him.

What exactly happened to him to experience such a huge change?

Perhaps a metaphor could be used to describe it more precisely. Some monsters are physical sutures, while he is a monster of mental sutures.

5th June. I obtained an ancient book. It actually mentions the Primordial Demonesss name, not one of an honorific name!

Her name is Cheek, but thats a mans name.

Is this ancient book fake?
