Chapter 41 Top of Sequence
"Mr. Blue, you don't have to send me home... It was just an accident. I feel fine..." Klein said to Old Blue, who was sitting opposite him with his eyes closed while sitting on the public carriage.

Old Blue opened his eyes, looked at the young man strangely, shook his head, and signaled him not to explain any more.

The carriage fell into silence. Klein gave up on returning to the Nighthawks. With Old Blue's ability, if he wanted to run away... well, he would probably be taken back with his legs broken... that would be too embarrassing!
He decided to take this rare opportunity to ask for some information about the Hidden Sage. In a previous Tarot Club, Miss Justice had used 1000 pounds to buy information about a secret organization from Mr. Hanged Man... As a notary, the Fool could of course listen in... But Mr. Hanged Man didn't know much about the Hidden Sage. He just said that he was a personified evil god... And the priestess, the descendant of the time traveler, could even tell the symbol and ability of the evil god, and recognized the Eye of Peering at a glance...

So he asked very earnestly:

"Mr. Blue, you said that the 'Eye of Peering' is an ability of the 'Peering Secrets' path above Sequence 5. The top of the sequence is the Hidden Sage, an evil god... Can you tell me more about this evil god?"

Old Blue and Klein looked at each other and found that I was unusually sincere and serious. They sighed in their hearts. The Hidden Sage jumped around and caused trouble everywhere, but he was still alive and well. The "Knowledge Emperor" Roselle transferred to the "Black Emperor" sequence, so there must be a reason why he couldn't catch this "Hidden Sage"... We have to find a way to kill him... Old Blue fell into thought.

After a long while, he said, "I'm sorry, my memory of some things is a little fading. I just recalled it..."

Old Blue successfully saw my surprised expression, and was a little embarrassed. I was just thinking about how to deal with the Hidden Sage...

"Well," Old Blue concealed his embarrassment and said:

"The 'Peeper' path... First of all, there are three major churches in Loen, each believing in three gods: the 'Lord of Storms', the 'Goddess of Night', and the last one is the 'God of Steam and Machinery'. The Church of Steam and Machinery is more familiar with the 'Peeper' path, because... Um, Klein, do you know the adjacent path?"

Klein suddenly realized something. At the last Tarot Club, which was yesterday, Miss Justice had just submitted Roselle's diary, which had just recorded that Roselle's "Generalist" path could be replaced by the "Secret Peeper" path in the higher paths! He actually didn't think of it at the first time...

"Heh, it seems you know that the Nighthawks teach quite a lot of knowledge..." Old Blue didn't wait for Klein to answer. The latter's reaction said it all. This also meant that Klein didn't think about pretending too much... Very good, I am very relaxed now and trust me very much...

Klein nodded and didn't explain. Was he going to say that he knew Roselle and that Roselle told him? Ha, that sounds good...

Old Blue continued:
"Just as your Church of the Night has a bad relationship with the 'Church of the God of War' of the Feysac Empire, the Church of Steam and Machinery has been targeting the Moss Ascetic Order, which has mastered the 'Peeping Secrets' path, and the 'Hidden Sage'. Similarly, the Church of Steam has also mastered a large number of 'Peeping Secrets' path potion formulas, providing them to its own Beyonders for selection."

Klein suddenly realized something. He had seen relevant knowledge in Roselle's diary, but it was not specific enough. Moreover, his attention was drawn to the "blasphemous slate" that followed... He did not pay enough attention to this knowledge. He asked:
"You mean our 'Sleepless' pathway and the 'Warrior' sequence mastered by the Church of the God of War are adjacent sequences? But when I chose the pathway, the church did not offer this option..."

Old Blue smiled and said:
"Good question, Klein. This is the key point...In the Church of Steam, even if there is the option of becoming a Secret Peeper, most people will still choose the path of a Generalist because this is the path that their church is on and is safer."

At this point, Old Blue glanced at Klein, successfully making him a little flustered, and then said:

"Let me make one thing clear here. At the top of the sequence, each True God is at the top of the sequence of his or her own path. Don't ask me more. I won't tell you..."

"Only after you understand this concept will you truly understand the meaning of 'safety'. There should be twenty-two extraordinary paths, and the top of the sequence can have an impact on the extraordinary people of their own path whose sequence is lower than theirs... We in the Northern Continent only recognize seven orthodox gods, and they will not deliberately harm the extraordinary people of their own church... However, you have to understand that they don't have much goodwill towards the extraordinary people of their own path who don't believe in them..." "The top of other paths... We call them hidden beings, evil gods, and demons. This is not without reason. Just like the Hidden Sage, He instills knowledge into the extraordinary people of this path, but does not care whether they can bear it. If they can't bear it, they will lose control..."

Klein felt that his brain was almost unable to think. His expression must have been stunned, shocked, and out of control...

The top of the sequence? Each path corresponds to a top of the sequence? Is this the true meaning of God's path?
It's really blasphemous...

The Potions Path comes from the Desecrated Slate, and the Desecrated Slate lives up to its name...

Klein suddenly thought of the mumbling he heard when he was promoted. Could it be that the top of his sequence was speaking? He couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Blue, do you know the top of the sequence of the Fortune Teller's Path? Is this related to the mumblings heard when drinking the potion?"

"..."

Old Bru paused. He didn't know whether he should reveal all the secrets of "An Banyu" and Zaratul...

No, no... I'll leave these to the goddess to slowly reveal...

He suddenly thought of a better and more malicious idea... Introduce Klein to The Fool! Hey, Mr. World's guide! Awesome! Old Blue's mouth curled up, as if he remembered something happy.

"The fortune teller's path... I really don't understand it very well... If you really hear the whispers, don't pay attention to them. It is most likely a trap set by a High-Sequence Beyonder..."

A trap? Honachis...Honachis Mountains, the treasure of the Antigonus family! It is indeed a trap...

"Let's talk about the Hidden Sage. This hidden being is most likely not a true god... but he is not easy to deal with either... I know what you are planning. Don't deal with him lightly... Well, if you become a true god, then just ignore what I said."

Klein showed a helpless expression. A real God? The priestess really...likes to joke.

"I have the same idea as you... I also want to take revenge on the hidden sage... I have a great responsibility in this matter, Old Neil... Maybe we can consider starting by hunting down the members of the Moss Ascetic Order and hunting down his followers..."

Looking at Old Blue who was lost in his own monologue, Klein didn’t know what expression or words to use to respond...
