From Prisoner to Si Chen

'Exchanging secrets...'

Gilan sat down again, murmuring in his heart.

'So, the "secret tea party" of these three ladies is just to exchange secrets with each other? ’

He remembered that when he was in the Church of the Atonement, he exchanged secrets for the "actor's" secrets with the priest played by Miss Peyton.

Ji Lan couldn't help but guess that the followers of May Sichen's "Twin Kite" might be keen on secrets...

The reason for such an idea stems from the fact that Sade recorded in the "Secret Records of the Branding Iron" written by herself that she was the fifth-level "Secret Box" of the Pentacle Spiral at the time.

The spiral of the divine pentacles is the path of the "twin kites". It is very likely that these three ladies have taken this path.

"Hmm..." Jilan pondered for a moment.

He slowly opened his mouth and revealed the secret:

"The human body contains the ultimate mystery. The four humours, viscous, yellow bile, blood and black bile, are symbolized and are connected to the four elements of the universe: fire, water, wind and earth..."

"The twelve signs of the zodiac can also correspond to it. Taking Gemini in May as an example, at five o'clock in the day and night on any day in May, if the blood is left to stand on the surface of the fern leaf, it will separate itself into two equal parts... …”

"This is the manifestation of truth in the material world, and it is a certain mysterious law."

"Therefore, if we can achieve a true balance of the four body fluids, we can discover and utilize the ultimate secret of the human body... The same is true for the so-called 'secret skills' in the world."

He simply told the knowledge in "The Theory of Balance" as a secret.

Because Ji Lan also seems to understand but not understand, it would be a good thing if he could get answers and inspiration from the three ladies.

The three ladies showed little interest at first, but as Gilan's talk became more and more profound, they all paid attention.

Even the cold Ms. Jiaika stopped drinking tea and stared directly at him.

Wait until Jilan finishes speaking.

The white-haired Miss Payton rubbed her delicate chin, her eyes revealing her thoughts.

"By the way, the secret of these four body fluids should be the research of Para Celsus..."

She glanced at Sade beside her, who had a calm expression and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Hey, Sade, didn't he tell you this?"

"Parra rarely discusses this kind of research involving truth with me...unless he has made clear progress and results."

Sade said calmly.

She smoothed her long, light blond curly hair and was silent for a moment.

"Looking at it now, he should have failed."

"That's really a pity..."

Payton shook his head regretfully.

"But it's understandable. After all, the theory of four body fluids is destined to be impossible to balance..."

"Why do you say that, Miss Peyton?"

Gillan asked curiously.

Payton glanced at him and explained casually:

"Limited by the human body. Mortal spirituality is destined to have attributes that belong to only one of the four elements, which naturally excludes the other three."

"As a mystic, you must also know that it is impossible to absorb four cosmic elements at the same time during the spiritual dyeing process, right?"

"Indeed." Jilan nodded.

"This is another manifestation of truth in the material world."

Miss Peyton raised her eyebrows.

"However, there are very few exceptions among mortals. These few people will undergo changes in their spirituality due to major changes in their lives, making them compatible with another element."

"For example, if a person is born as an air sign and almost drowned in water, then he will most likely be compatible with the water sign."

"For another example, a person who was almost burned to death in a fire is very likely to be compatible with the fire sign."

"But it is absolutely impossible for someone to be compatible with the four elements at the same time...and even if they are compatible, it does not mean that they can absorb the four elements at the same time."

"So achieving perfect balance only exists in theory...unless, this person, he is not human."

Payton said, his beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with inexplicable meaning.

"For example... the first Si Chen, the 'Noon Dawn' Omer in July."

Hearing this, Jilan was startled.

From Miss Peyton's words, he learned two pieces of information.

First, human spirituality can be compatible with multiple elements, but it is impossible to have four elements at the same time.

The second is the "dawn at noon" on the seventh day of July. He is a human being, but at the same time he is not a human being.

Precisely because Omer is compatible with four elements at the same time, he was able to steal the power of Si Si Sui and create the "Road of the Fire Sword"...

Gillan suddenly thought of Miss Sparrow again.

Her experience is very consistent with the example given by Miss Payton...

‘So, Miss Sparrow, whose spirituality was originally born as an earth sign, may be compatible with the fire element because of what she experienced in Brak City? ’

Gillan thought.

Miss Peyton paused for a moment, picked up the exquisite little teacup, took a sip, and then said:

"Okay, Mr. Gillan, since you told a secret, in exchange, I will also tell you a secret..."

"Let's use 'balance' as the topic."

She smiled softly and rested her chin on one hand.

"In the human body, there are not only the four humors as symbols, but also the id, ego and superego, which represent the triple helix of astrology, alchemy and magic."

"They can respectively represent the body, consciousness and soul."

"If we can achieve a corresponding balance among these three, we can also gain powerful power."

"Perhaps you still don't know it at this stage. In fact, as the mysterious person continues to climb up the original level, except for the four spirals of the body, the physical strength of the other two spirals of the mysterious person will stagnate and gradually 'fall behind'..."

"So there is a phenomenon in the world, that is, the mystics of the furnace and the divine spiral. The general consciousness and soul are strong and strong, but the body is weak."

Hearing this, Gillan thought of the old beggar in the "Human Will" series of films, John, the village chief of Oldrav Village. And the mastermind behind the "Defilation Ceremony", Dedel.

Their bodies are actually shortcomings and weaknesses.

"Indeed."

Gillan nodded, agreeing with Miss Paton.

"So the higher the original level, the stronger the power between the mystics is, the more distinct the two extremes will be."

Miss Peyton spoke eloquently.

"Either the body is dominant, or the mysterious spirit or soul is dominant...I can't say which one is better, because each has its own pros and cons."

“Every sect, sect, or secret society that is guided by a faith or a path is trying to be compatible with both.”

"But very few succeed...The success mentioned here is not a real success. It can only be said to be a new way to make up for shortcomings."

"Take the May Sichen's "Twin Kite" secret society as an example...Have you ever heard of the "Withering Nobles"?"

Miss Paton asked.

Gilan shook his head silently.

But he had already guessed in his heart that the three ladies in front of him might be closely related to the "withered nobles".

Even the place where the tea party was held was called "Withered Garden"...

"The 'Withered Nobles', without exception, are all beings above the age of a long time. Most of them belong to the Pentacle Spiral and are physically weak... But in order to make up for this shortcoming, they will try to use 'secrets' as gifts. Give May Sichen the 'Twin Kite' in exchange for physical enhancement."

said Miss Paton.

"Although the final effect is definitely not as good as that of a Kusei whose body spirals four ways, it will not be killed by a single encounter."

"I think I understand, Miss Peyton."

Gillan nodded thoughtfully.

The path of the Twelve Stars, according to the different spirals, the mysterious power focuses in different directions, and it is destined to have inherent strengths and weaknesses.

For example, a "warrior" with a body and a spiral sword is strong physically but weak in spirit and soul.

The "actors" of the Spiral of Swords in the Crucible are strong mentally but weak in body and soul.

Another example is the "Joker" of the Spiral Sword, who is the strongest in terms of soul, but weak in body and spirit.

etc.

But the mystics who follow these paths will try their best to make up for their shortcomings... because as the original level continues to increase, the shortcomings will become more obvious, and when facing enemies of the same level, their weaknesses will be Infinite zoom.

Whoever has more flaws will be more likely to fail.

Fighting is inevitable in the mysterious realm. In order to survive, seekers will try their best to arm themselves with all-round weapons.

Of course, this is just an ideal.

After all, due to the inherent flaws of the method, it is still somewhat difficult for an "actor" to kill a "soldier" with physical strength.

"Thanks for the answer, Miss Peyton."

Gillan thanks.

Payton waved his hand and said:

"Let's exchange another secret."

"Hmm." Gillan thought for a moment. "Before January Sichen's 'torrent' ascended, he was probably a mechanical genius from the Bremen Empire named Barbara Enge..."

"More than thirty years ago, under the promotion of the head of state, Caesar Geed, the empire planned an artificial Sichen ceremony called the 'Gear Project', which ultimately promoted Barbara to the throne of January..."

"The location of her ascension is unknown, but it should be closely related to the 'Golden Womb'..."

Gillan slowly recounted the secret history he gained from the "Human Will" series of films.

The three ladies looked at each other in surprise.

Not long after.

"The secret history of Torrent's ascension?"

Sade frowned slightly.

"He actually crossed the original stage of the 'Path of the Fire Sword' and ascended directly as a mortal... How is this possible!"

"I have guessed some reasons."

Miss Peyton raised her pretty eyebrows in realization.

Sade looked at her, but Peyton remained silent. The purple-haired lady Jiaika at the other end of the small round table said calmly:

“It’s best to say less when it comes to the ‘crippled king’.”

Hearing this, Sade looked stern.

The three ladies stopped talking about this topic, and it seemed that the title of "Crippled King" made them all in awe.

"No wonder the Mechanicus has been secretly searching for traces of the Windmill Cat Pal Solomon... It turns out that Pal ate Torrent's biological sister when she was a mortal."

Miss Peyton raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"What an interesting and valuable secret."

Her beautiful eyes stared at the blond young man, she pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"Then in exchange, I will also tell you a secret of equal value..."

"You are looking for the land of gods, Toyalan, right?"

"I can tell you a way to find 'Toyalan' 100% of the time!"
