Chapter 301 Rose School
Mr. "Fool's" church? Lumian was surprised by this answer, but not so surprised.
He was an extraordinary person who did not expect that the Church of the Fools had a large number of "prisoner" paths, but he felt that it was not surprising that there were any paths according to the scriptures.
Franka smiled and explained in detail:
"In fact, the 'prisoner' path extraordinary of the 'Rose School' and the 'prisoner' path extraordinary of the 'Fool' Church were originally one family."
"Later split?" Lumian tried to make a guess.
Franka said "hmm":
"The 'Rose School' is a very ancient organization, with a history of more than two thousand years, even dating back to before the Quaternary period, before that cataclysm."
It has a history of more than 2,000 years...... Lumian was stunned for a moment.
When he knew that the "Iron Blood Cross" was founded two or three hundred years ago, he smelled the breath of history and thought that this was ancient, but compared with the "Rose School", the "Iron Blood Cross" was as young as a child who had not yet received compulsory education.
Franka continued:
"The 'Rose School' was originally an orthodox organization in the southern continent, ruling the Paz Valley and the Star Plateau in the form of political and religious unity until the invasion of the northern continent countries.
"They lost their kingdom, went underground, and became hidden, on the one hand, they fought against the colonists, trying to drive them out of the southern continent, and on the other hand, they frequently caused terrorist incidents in the northern continent.
"Why did you split later?" Lumian is more concerned about this issue.
Franka took two steps leisurely in the living room:
"There have been philosophical differences within the 'Rose School' from a very early age, they all believe that will comes from various desires and can change reality and accomplish all kinds of incredible things, but different people have different views on how to treat desires:
"Some people think that they should always indulge and burn their desires, and feverishly perform bloody or primitive sacrifices to improve their own will, while others start from the name of the potion and feel that desires should be suppressed in the heart, accumulate continuously, and wait until the critical moment to erupt, setting off a huge wave of terror.
"Therefore, on the one hand, it is called 'indulgence', and on the other hand, it is called 'temperance'."
"Prisoner"...... After Lumian silently repeated the name of the sequence 9 magic potion, he said thoughtfully:
"I think the 'moderation' is right."
"People with normal minds think so, after all, the body is a prison for the mind, the world is a prison for the body, madness must be restrained, and desires need to be suppressed." Franka said in a mocking tone, "But there are always people with abnormal brains, and in the end, if you indulge in it, you will only be left crazy, and you won't even be able to keep your IQ."
No wonder the "werewolf" behaved like that...... It seems that he is indeed a member of the "Rose School"...... if the brains of the other members of the "Rose School" are similar to him, it will prove that they are strong, after all, in the absence of IQ, the only prerequisite for surviving to the present and maintaining basic vitality is that they are strong enough...... Lumian turned several thoughts half-mockingly and half-vigilantly.
Franka looked at the gradually brightening sunlight outside the window and said:
"At first, the 'indulgence' and the 'temperance' could barely coexist, you don't care about me, I won't interfere with you, and I won't affect the people you protect, but later, the 'indulgence' began to claim that the 'bound god' that the two factions shared in was the embodiment of an evil god."
A certain evil god...... Indulge in desire...... Lumian frowned suddenly, and asked in confirmation:
"'Mother Tree of Desire'?"
"Yes." Franka laughed, "Your acquaintance, no, familiar."
No, I don't want to be familiar with him at all...... the "Rose School" actually believes in the "Mother Tree of Desire", and the reason why the "werewolf" investigated the Sava Party seems to be more complicated than I guessed...... The people of the "Bliss Society" have no contact with the "Rose School", or have they not shared information in this regard? Lumian fell into deep thought.
Franka sighed sincerely:
"Those abilities that involve desire are actually very useful, but why can't they be used on the right path?"
"Who called it an evil god?" Lumian replied and warned the companion, "You'd better not try it."
Franka smiled:
"I still know clearly what can be tried and what is not, and I know better than you about the dangers to the evil gods.
"Well, later, the 'Indulgence Faction' raided the 'Temperance Faction' and severely damaged them, and the remaining 'Temperance Faction' members fled in embarrassment and were hunted down for a long time until they were blessed by Mr. 'Fool'.
"I heard that His Excellency St. Sharon of Mr. Fool's Church was a former member of the 'Temperance' Sect, and the 'Angel of the Holy Spirit' next to Mr. Fool's throne was also ......."
The "temperance faction" led by an angel can be hunted down and run away in embarrassment, the strength of the "indulgence faction" is terrifyingly strong, they must have angels, and there is more than one...... And Mr. Fool's church can protect the "temperance...... After listening, Lumian had a general grasp of the history of the "School of Roses", became more confident in the strength of the Church of the "Fools", and corresponded some of the names in the scriptures with the big people in reality.
At the same time, he also understood why another Minor Arcana holder, the Knight of Swords, blew up the weapons warehouse of the "Rose School".
"Hehe, shouldn't it be called the 'Rose School' now, it's just called the 'Indulgence School'?" Lumian sneered.
Franka responded funny:
"How ugly is that? Do you think every secret organization doesn't care about these like the 'Iron Blood Cross'?"
As soon as the two of them talked here, they heard the familiar footsteps of Jianna.
After Jane opened the door, she was a little surprised to see Lumian also there.
"He had something last night." Franka blurted out.
"What's the matter?" Jane looked at Lumian a few times, but she didn't notice any signs of injury.
Franka briefly talked about the "werewolf" and the "Rose School", hiding the part that her, Lumian had a lot to do with the "Fool" church.
The more Jane listened, the more shocked she became, feeling that she was really nothing in the occult world with a sequence 9.
This made her want to become an "instigator" as soon as possible even stronger.
After discussing what was just discussed, Franka added:
"Let me briefly talk about the situation of 'living corpses' and 'resentful souls', lest you go up without knowing anything, or notice abnormalities but don't know that there is a problem.
"The biggest change between the 'living corpse' and the 'werewolf' is that the body is as hard as steel, not afraid of fire, not afraid of bullets and shells, and must hit the same position more than five times in a row to break their defenses.
"They also have some Decay, Frost, and Death-type spells that can awaken ghosts and dead corpses and drive them.
"The 'resentful soul' can be freely transformed into a ghost, and it no longer has a physical body, so it is not afraid of corresponding harm. Their spell abilities have been significantly improved, and they can also forcibly attach themselves to them, control your bodies, and let you kill yourself.
"After they enter the 'resentful soul' state, they can also walk through different mirrors, with the help of them to hide themselves, even if you turn on the 'spiritual vision', there is almost no hope of seeing them directly.
"If you encounter something like a haunting, you can't be careless, you have to consider the possibility of involving a real 'resentful soul'."
Lumian listened intently and said thoughtfully:
"In the face of 'living corpses' and 'resentful souls', attacks against spirits are more effective?"
"Yes, I recommend the ability in the 'Sun' field." Franka laughed softly, "But I suggest that after encountering similar enemies, run if you can, and if you can't run, hurry up and ask for help."
Lumian never felt ashamed to shout "help", and while expressing his approval, he proposed new ideas:
"They are all members of the 'Indulgence School', would it be better to use the ability to influence desire against them?"
If so, magical items made from "Shadow Branches" can come in handy.
- Lumian has not yet contacted Ms. "Magician" and plans to wait for Mr. K to give the reward before deciding which field of extraordinary characteristics to pair with "Shadow Branch".
"In theory, it is, but it may have the opposite effect." Franka specially reminded.
After exchanging the question of the "Rose School", Jane Na talked about being recruited as an informant and giving information about the Deep Valley Monastery.
Franka was sincerely happy for her:
"Yes, so you have a fixed resource channel, but the official is very strict about key items, and you can't rely on them completely."
Lumian didn't expect Valentine to come to the market area as well, and he had certain worries about his lack of necessary camouflage - "secret glasses" could only be used at critical moments.
He thought about it and said to Jianna:
"In front of the 'Purifier', show your devotion to the 'Eternal Sun', and you will have unexpected gains."
"You seem to be very experienced." Jane Na's eyes rolled slightly, feeling that Ciel seemed to have many secrets.
…………
After leaving No. 3 White Coat Street, Lumian returned to the Breeze Ballroom like a walk.
The more he came into contact with those secret organizations, the more he felt the lack of occult knowledge.
After Lumian drank a glass of absinthe to refresh himself, he sat down in his office.
As soon as he was about to change to a comfortable position, he saw a little starlight oozing out in front of him, forming a bright and dreamy door.
The door opened, and the "magician" lady came out, wearing an off-white shirt, a brownish-yellow dress and dark brown leather boots.
What's the matter? Lumian stood up suddenly.
"Magician" lady said with a smile:
"The friend I mentioned earlier who helped you interpret the symbolic elements has completed his recent work and has a short vacation, so I will take you to him now."
Lumian responded with great joy:
"Okay!"
