Chapter 569: Subordinate "Gods" (Seeking Monthly Votes)

January 17, 2020 · 5 min read · 1,065 words

The materials provided by "The Sun" detailed some representative subordinate gods, but most had no true names, only titles. Among them were "Goddess of Beauty" and "" subordinate to the vampire progenitress ; "Goddess of Misfortune" and "God of Death" subordinate to the Destroying Wolf Flegra; "" and "Queen of Calamities" subordinate to the Elf King , and so on.

Queen of Calamities... Klein suddenly thought of the "Book of Calamities" and the golden goblet he obtained from the high elf ruins, on which was engraved the name Gosinam and the Elvish word for "Calamity".

This led him to speculate that Gosinam might be the Elf King's subordinate god, the "Queen of Calamities"!

Unfortunately, he couldn't directly ask "The Sun" for confirmation; he had to wait for him to provide further information... Klein sighed silently.

At the same time, he made some guesses as to why these titles had no corresponding true names:

Silver City was originally the "Silver Country" ruled by the . Besides having sufficient knowledge of its own forces and arch-enemies, information about other ancient gods mostly came from oral transmission and was not so detailed. Compared with simple titles, complex and difficult-to-pronounce true names were harder to remember and spread.

Flipping the page, the information initially confirmed Klein's judgment, but also raised new questions:

The dragon race had a "Wise Dragon" equivalent to the gods in Silver City's eyes, named Herabogen. And under the King Omir were his eldest son, "God of Dawn" Badhel, and his queen, "Goddess of Harvest".

Why does the "Goddess of Harvest" have no true name? Isn't she the queen of the Giant King's Court? Silver City should have records... Are these so-called subordinate gods equal to later Angels or Angel Kings? Hmm, Sequence 2 of this pathway, Sequence 1 of other pathways? Klein suppressed his confusion and inferred based on the knowledge from the "Blasphemy Card" — within the same pathway, if Sequence 0 exists, there is no Sequence 1; if Sequence 0 does not exist, there can be at most three Sequence 1s.

But Klein dared not make a definite judgment based on this, as his knowledge was still one-sided, and he himself was not sure if the details of Sequence 0 and Sequence 1 based on the law of non-destruction and conservation of Beyonder characteristics had prerequisites.

For now, I'll assume so... Klein leaned back, letting the materials in his hand disappear, and said with a smile:

"You may begin."

At this time, "The Hanged Man" Alger was still seriously reviewing himself.

After considering how to communicate, he used empathy to think from the perspective of "The Hermit" lady, who was suspected to be the "Star Admiral", and see what exactly he had revealed.

"Mr. Fool's protection of each member's true identity is a blurring and distortion of their image, but it does not affect the expression of colors. Closer colors like brown and tan are indeed hard to distinguish, but bright colors can still be discerned. At the very least, I can clearly tell that Miss Justice has blonde hair and bright green eyes...

"And my most obvious and unmissable feature is my dark blue hair. But that doesn't explain anything. It's not a problem to say that dark blue hair is a common mutation in the Sailor pathway, but the reverse is not true, because this trait can be inherited. On , and in areas near the turbulent seas of Dicy Bay, where elves once gathered, many people with thin elven blood also have dark blue hair. Eh, and in areas where Storm Church beyonders exceed a certain number too...

"Without combining other characteristics, it would be difficult for 'The Hermit' to infer further from this."

Alger had just sighed in relief when the corner of his eye caught sight of his storm robe.

After returning to the "Blue Avenger", besides being the captain, he was also the bishop of those sailors, so he had to often wear corresponding clothing to hold masses.

If he didn't show piety in his daily behavior, he might be reported by his subordinates one day.

— The Storm Church is always wary of members who drift on the sea for long periods, because playing pirates for too long might turn into real pirates. After all, the "" has never issued a divine revelation excluding pirates from believers.

Under the blurring and distortion, the details of clothes are hard to see, so that's not a problem... However, he should be more careful in the future; during Tarot gatherings, he should wear something nondescript. Although he couldn't be sure, he still had to treat her as a pirate admiral and not be careless... "The Hanged Man" Alger thought cautiously.

At this moment, he heard "The Moon" Emlyn, though lowering his voice, could hardly conceal his excitement:

"Mr. Hanged Man, I'm ready. When can you get the vampire baron's legacy? You mentioned last time that it's in the hands of a great pirate?"

You didn't need to add that last part... Alger's body suddenly stiffened.

Great pirate... "The Hermit" 's gaze swept over "The Hanged Man" again.

Alger's expression remained unchanged as he turned his head and replied to "The Moon":

"You have the cash?"

"Of course!" Emlyn stuck out his neck.

He had originally thought to wait until the three-month period of the acceptance bill was up before going to the bank to cash it, but soon found that after deciding to buy the vampire baron's legacy, his mood was completely different from before:

No more doubts, no more hesitation, full of anticipation and desire, eager to get it immediately, like the state he was in when he saved up enough money to buy his beloved dolls in the past!

He held out for a little over a week, but finally couldn't contain himself and sold the acceptance bill, losing some money but still acceptable.

— In many cases, acceptance bills can be used as currency.

"I'll get it for you within this week. Let's confirm the price one last time. 4500 pounds, no problem?" Alger saw that the deal was almost done and didn't pursue the matter of "The Moon" having just revealed something.

Emlyn thought of the dolls in his room, cleared his throat, and averted his gaze as he said:

"Can I get a discount?"
