"My name is Hermes."

"Many ritual magics in later generations, as well as the occult language you use, were created by me and named after me."

The old man, who was wearing a gray and white robe, had an ordinary appearance and had thick white hair, said with a slightly proud tone.

...It's not Adam, it's Hermes...is it really the Hermes who has survived from the Second Age to this day and created the ancient Hermes language? That is still unique to humans and can resonate stably with spiritual power.

The extraordinary language...is it really him? Sure enough, he is an angel of the "spectator" path, an important member of the Twilight Hermits, and can even be said to be one of the sources of the Psychological Alchemy Society...

Klein could not see or guess the age of this ancient angel. He could only say that in front of him, the gods and angels of the Fourth Age, Amon, Adam, the Six Gods of that time and even the ancient Sun God might...

They are all His juniors!

"Hello……"

Klein admired him from the bottom of his heart and said hello to him.

But...here, I just want to inquire about the "Black Saint"'s God-forsaken land. How did you attract this angel?

This is an incredible big shot!

Klein looked doubtfully at the "Black Saint" who had too dark hair and eyes. The latter was still dressed like a seasoned ascetic monk. When he saw Klein looking at him, he took the initiative to nod towards him.

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Klein had no choice but to look at Hermes again. He was about to consider his words before asking, when suddenly he felt blessed and a light flashed in his brain——

Hermes once invented the ancient Hermetic language and was a pioneer in trying medicine on his own. He must have great goodwill and recognition for mankind;

Hermes was born in the Second Age, and later followed the ancient Sun God, whose main parish was in the Eastern Continent;

Could it be that His sudden appearance this time was the spiritual perception of an angel, or that He had foreseen something and wanted to go to the Eastern Continent with me?

He probably just showed his "sudden realization" expression. Sitting on the sofa opposite, the white-haired Hermes smiled: "It seems that you have guessed my purpose."

...worthy of being an "audience."

Klein felt as if he had been completely seen through, and that no idea could be hidden from his eyes.

As the angel of this path, He can easily read the emotions of people around him and guide them, and he can also accurately influence others with my own expressions, movements and even body language at any time to achieve his own goals. This path is the most

Being good at playing with people's hearts, Klein couldn't help but start to think about whether Hermes took the initiative to show off his achievements and charm as soon as he came out. Was this intentional?

"Sorry, young man, if I choose to become an angel through this path, I will inevitably have similar problems."

Seemingly sensing Klein's complicated mood, Hermes humorously made a joke about himself: "But, you guessed it right, the purpose of my coming here is to recommend myself."

"Although I already know that you plan to go alone, I still want to join you."

It's hard to really dislike an elder with such a personality. Klein didn't feel the power of comfort, but he couldn't help but laugh, and his mood became slightly more relaxed - indeed, wasn't Hermes' opening statement the same?

What does it matter if you deliberately want to arouse your favor? Regardless of his deeds or his intentions, Hermes has made so many contributions, and there is no disadvantage to him. There is no need for him to be too nervous.

Well, I still have accumulated too much stress during this period... I really need to find a reliable psychiatrist to talk to...

Klein's eyes wandered for a moment, and he remembered that the only psychiatrist he trusted seemed to be "Justice" Audrey.

And Audrey is only Sequence 5 now. Not to mention her limited abilities, she has never experienced anything similar to Klein and cannot even imagine it. Of course, Klein will not think that he comes from an ancient era before the First Epoch and was killed by an angel.

Tell her about the gods' pursuit.

Failure to talk to the psychiatrist will result in the treatment methods Audrey can provide becoming quite limited, which may not be very effective.

Although the old Mr. Hermes standing in front of me is obviously a better psychiatrist, he just gets along well with him. Talking and cooperating with Mr. Hermes is one thing, but showing his troubles and part of his heart to the other person is another.

That's another story.

"Thanks you."

Klein thought for a while and quickly agreed. The increase in one's own strength always makes people feel reassured: "I originally planned to go alone. If you are willing to go with me, it will be an honor for me."

Hearing these words, Hermes seemed to relax and became relaxed:

"Haha, you are the beloved of the Creator, a Sequence 3 saint. You only need to take one more step forward to ascend to the position of god. Now this step is about to be taken. As an elder and as your future colleague,

I'm a bit shameless when I come to recommend myself to you."

When Klein heard his hint, his heart suddenly moved:

Hermes sounds like he knows about the "Miracle Master" promotion ceremony!

He knows my path and can also see that my trip to the Eastern Continent is to complete the ceremony to be promoted to "Miracle Master"!

Then will He know the name, formula and ritual of the Sequence 1 potion? Two high-sequence "seers" have both built a weird Marionette town, as well as the mysterious "Peach Blossom Spring" in ancient times. What on earth is this?

What are the requirements and what should be done?

Klein's heartbeat accelerated. He was sure that Hermes could see his thoughts, but he still hinted back calmly:

"You are serious. You are a pioneer of mysticism and a pioneer worthy of respect. I also hope to get more guidance from you."

Hermes' ordinary and old face showed a smile, and nodded towards Klein:

"Perhaps this journey will make us all very satisfied."

The journey will satisfy us all... Klein tried to figure out the meaning of this sentence, not sure whether this was Hermes's answer - whether he was saying that the clues to the Sequence One potion formula and the promotion ceremony were hidden in

Eastern continent?

What would satisfy Him? It would most likely be the smooth opening of the door to the land abandoned by God.

Is this a prophecy from an angel? A prophecy? Isn’t he an audience?

By the way, in the legend, He "tested the medicine on his own body to find an extraordinary way." Since he did not lose control, it is very likely that He is a mixed angel of the five paths, and is not a single "audience"!

Hmm... is there a sequence similar to "Prophet" in the "Reader" path?

Klein thought about it and felt that among the five adjacent pathways, only the "reader" seemed to have the authority to prophesy the most.

Having said this, Klein had a new question. He couldn't help but be curious, and he showed the politeness when communicating with "Red Light":

"Mr. Hermes, I would like to boldly ask you a question."

"Please say." Hermes seemed to start competing with him about who was more polite like "Red Light".

After receiving permission, Klein glanced at the "Black Saint" who had already closed his eyes to rest, and was muttering the Creator's prayer to himself as if no one else was watching, and asked slowly: "Why...why did you choose

Can you be promoted through the 'audience' route?"

Hermes smiled and replied:

“This approach allows me to examine myself at any time, confirm myself, and maintain ‘my’ self-awareness in a clear state.”

"I believe you also know that 'appeasement' can reduce the side effects of potions, alleviate the schizophrenia caused by the mental imprint left behind in the extraordinary characteristics, stabilize oneself, and find oneself again amid the impact of divinity and humanity."

"I don't have any lofty ambitions, and I don't aim to become a god, so this angel path is the most suitable for me."

So that's it... Klein suddenly understood and nodded.

The probability of the "audience" losing control is relatively low, but it is also very likely that they will not realize that they are out of control at all, just like the "psychiatrist" Klein met in the mental hospital when he was still in Tingen.

He was clearly a "psychiatrist", but he chose to become a patient and ended up going crazy.

Huh?

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hermes, I have another question."

Klein's breathing quickened and he suddenly asked: "In the third era, far... the Creator was the true god of the 'audience' path, and the most powerful and best psychiatrist and audience in the world. Is that true?"

Leomaster opened his eyes and looked at the God's Favored One with a puzzled look.

The smile on Hermes' face decreased slightly. He was a little too bold to evaluate the gods and speculate on his will. This is not what believers or even God's loved ones should do. He felt about the relationship between Klein and the Creator.

He was slightly curious, but his foreknowledge told him that he would get the answer during his upcoming journey to the Eastern Continent, so he did not say anything, but said calmly:

"You can think of it this way."

Seeing that Klein did have respect for the ancient sun god, Hermes did not reduce his favorable impression of him.

Although he cannot be called a devout believer, Hermes has a very close relationship with the Creator, like friends and peers.

"...So, you just said that high-sequence viewers can use 'Appease' to relieve the residual spirit of extraordinary characteristics and reduce the impact of losing control." Klein's hands slightly tightened his pants and stared closely.

Hermes, "So, why did the Creator, who was already the true God of many paths, the most powerful god at that time, and the most perfect and best psychiatrist, choose to commit suicide?"

"what are you saying?"

Before Hermes could speak, Leomaster couldn't bear it any longer and glared angrily.

There is no such thing as "the Creator committed suicide" in the grand ceremony of the Aurora Society that has been passed down to this day. Instead, there is only the fact that the gods betrayed the Lord and shared His food!

If the cataclysm is a chain reaction of the Creator's suicide, then how should believers like them, who sincerely feel that the Creator has a clear distinction between good and evil, good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, and pious and kind people go to heaven, how should they deal with it?

——All believers and churches are faced with a question, that is: if God is impartial and righteous, how should we deal with whether evil people go free or good people are ruined?

——This is definitely the most difficult to understand, the most inexplicable, and the most unacceptable to believers, unless the God you believe in is the "Abyss".

Hermes applied a "comfort" to Leomaster, and the latter suddenly quieted down at a speed visible to the naked eye, returned to his position, and began to recite prayers quietly again, as if nothing had happened.

"I can't believe... you even know this."

Hermes gave Klein a deep look. That look made Klein feel a little chilled down his spine, but it was not malicious.
