The Truth Of The Mysteries
Code Name
A falsity!
“You can call me The Fake”
A simple answer immediately emanated within the large hall and disappeared within the fog. Yet his voice continued to echo in Lucia and Barth's hearts giving rise to ripples and tremors within them.
They never expected such an appointment, but they felt he deserved it. It was in accordance with a mysterious, great, strange, and incomprehensible figure like the one before them.
After a few seconds of silence, Lucia immediately stood up then lifted her skirt slightly and slightly bowed, then she said a greeting to Zhoui Farren.
“Good day Mr. Fake.”
“Honored False Master, will you allow me to take the liberty of asking you to be our witness to the promises and exchanges we will make?”
“No problem.” Zhoui Farren replied with an attitude that matched his position, along with thoughts that revolved around his head.
“It's our honor fake master.” Barthez also stood up and slightly bent her back with her right palm over her left chest.
Zhoui Farren put his hand down and spoke with a smile. “Continue you both.”
Barth nodded before returning to his seat, then he looked at Lucia.
“If you manage to get Ghost Shark blood, have someone send it to Seklery Bar on Plecinte Street, in Blue Orchid Brough. It's in the driveway and out of Leries Harbour, tell the boss there Miller, that's what the captain wants.”
"Once I acknowledge the receipt, will you give me the address to send the formula potion to me or do you want me to tell you here directly?"
Lucia thought for a moment then replied with a smile, “I chose a safer method, I want you to give it to me here.”
Since the False Lord agreed to bear witness to this trade agreement, he indicated that there would be another meeting at a later time.
And with this thought, then he turned his head with sparkling eyes towards Zhoui Farren. In an interested and happy tone, he made a suggestion, “Pak Fake, would you do an experiment like this again?”
Barthez listened to the advice calmly. He was tempted by the suggestion, then he immediately said and echoed.
“Fake Master, don't you think a meeting like this is interesting? I know you have powers that are unimaginable and beyond our imagination, but of course there are some domains that you do not master even though you may also master some domains.”
“This meeting may also be a help for you if there is something you need and you want. This person beside me also clearly saw that she was a young lady with a high stature and status, I also had some unique insights, information, media, and resources. We may be able to help do something trivial or make you uncomfortable to do it directly.”
From his point of view, the fact that he was pulled into this place without warning and a way to resist. It was already illustrating that the person who pulled him to this place must have been very great.He was also in control of this, such a meeting request was also not something he could refuse.
He also plans to embody the suggestion, with the help of the mysterious person before him, he can follow the activities while reaping the benefits he will get by joining the meeting to penetrate his passive and unlucky state.
The trio at the long table had different backgrounds, resources, connections and understandings within the mystic domain. If they interact and enjoy limited cooperation, they can produce unexpected and immeasurable effects!
The recently negotiated trade in resources is one example. Another example is if he wants to kill someone. He can easily enlist the help of Gathering members who seem unrelated to him either on the surface or in the real world. He could perfectly mislead any investigator. He can also get some useful information.
A young girl with high stature and status…. Are my accent and behavior so obvious? Lucia stared blankly and her mouth was slightly gaping. But he quickly regained his senses and leaned back then nodded.
"Fake Master, I think that's very good advice. As long as this Gathering becomes regular, you can actually leave certain things that are uncomfortable for you to us. Of course, it should be something in our capacity."
By the time he heard the suggestion, Zhoui Farren had already weighed the pros and cons. More encounters inevitably allow him to gain more knowledge about the secrets of Beyonders or other mysteries, a boon to his reinstatement. For example, it looks like the potion formula will appear at the next meeting of 'audience'. Similarly, the information he obtained must have been useful for his current life.
However, more meetings meant it was easier to expose himself!
Indeed, regardless of the world, there was no such thing as a free lunch. Zhoui Farren extended his right hand again while tapping the side of the long table with his finger gently.
Considering that he can control the summoning and termination of the meeting so that the security issue is still within his control, it is clear the pros outweigh the cons, therefore he intends to agree to it.
After he finished thinking about it, he immediately stopped his beat and smiled while looking at the anticipatory face and gaze.
“Alright I'll do it.”
“Every Monday, four o'clock in the afternoon. This meeting will be held every day so that you do not have to worry about the inaccuracy of the meeting because you already know when it was held.”
“You can also ask me for permission not to attend the meeting, that is if you have important problems or affairs or urge”
This is a form of approval from Barth and Lucia's suggestion.
Lucia had just turned twelve a few months ago, she had been so well-guarded all along that she had a still childish young girl nature. Therefore he could not help but clench his hands and place them in front of his chest and thank False Sir when he heard the answer from him.
Without waiting for Barth to speak, Lucia immediately asked the question, “Should from now on we give ourselves a call sign? After all we can not use our real name for transactions at meetings!”
Zhoui Farren listened quietly while thinking about what to use for the call sign.
After a moment of thought, Zhoui Farren immediately replied, “That's a good idea, then we will choose what to use as a call sign.”
After hearing that Lucia and Barth tried to think of what to use for the call sign.
“You are a False Lord, roughly what is related to that name?” Ask Lucia softly.
Instantly Zhoui Farren's mind raced and thought of what suited him, with a fake name and he was good at lying. Therefore he decided what he would use immediately, “What if using human nature? Like ‘Honesty’, ‘Hate, and so on?”
As soon as the two people in front of him thought for a moment before replying, “Okay, we will use that, then how do we determine our call?
“What if we choose what properties are identical to ourselves?” Answer Lucia.
Zhoui Farren smiled as he thought of something.
It would be nice if I could see the dominant nature of a person and the tendency of their original nature in this place….
Suddenly the gray mist started to churn and changed the scenery of the mysterious space into a castle hall consisting of a grayish White and black shadow. The pillars changed from plain white to patterned like not from this era, but like a mixture of various times, even modern times.
Instantly Zhou Farren was astonished by what he saw, but he immediately calmed himself down and said inwardly.
Could this place have given me what I wanted just now?
The two people who were dragged to the mysterious place were startled and felt a little frightened before they heard the delicate and calming voice of the False Master. They were stunned when they listened to the voice of a mysterious person.
The two people were confused and asked, “How to do?”
Zhoui Farren immediately chuckled and replied subtly.
“Try to find which mask of nature you like the most, it suits you best, and if it reacts to you then it is your true nature and it will be your calling sign.”
Lucia and Barth suddenly become nervous for no apparent reason. They then answer “Good, we will try it.”
Barthez went ahead and tried it first. He walked to the front of the high honor chair belonging to The Fake and tried to take the mask of ‘Courage’, yet it did not react at all, after which he tried to take the mask nearby. It is a mask ‘Tiswisdom’.
The instant the mask reacted, it created ripples and formed a Dark Red-colored light. Upon seeing that Zhoui Farren was relieved that his previous idea of using the power of space mysteriously succeeded. He immediately said to the slightly burly man in front of him.
“Alright now the call for you is Wisdom.”
Miss, it is your turn now, Zhoui Farren said in a soft tone.
“Good.” Lucia replied, she then directly walked towards the mask ‘Honesty’, after which the mask immediately reacted.
Pa!Pa!Pa's!... The sound of Zhoui Farren's applause
Congratulations you have the honesty mask. From now on your nickname is ‘Tiswisdom’ and ‘Honesty’.
"Alright, then we can be considered as founding members of the Destiny Truth Club." Lucia was the first to say it happily, only to stare at the fog-covered Zhoui Farren in fear. "Will it be alright, False Master?"
Zhoui Farren shook his head in amusement.
"You can decide for yourself such trifles."
"Thank you!" Lucia is obviously happy.
After that, he looked at Barthez. "Master Wisdom, can you repeat that address once again? I'm afraid my memory will fail."
"No problem." Barthez was delighted with Lucia's seriousness as she repeated her speech once more.
After repeating it in her heart three times, Lucia then tried asking.
"Wouldn't it be that with predictions like tarot divination we can see things?" Ask Lucia.
After hearing that, Barthez answered him, "It will not work, the power of divination is not that strong, the prophecy is a revelation that still needs to be interpreted, the interpretation is also difficult. To ordinary people even they would not be able to interpret it at all."
"I heard that Emperor Kione Benaporte had actually made a set of cards, secret and mysterious. It was a paper card that symbolized something unknown power. There were a total of twenty-two cards he completed. Later on, he referenced him to create twenty-two Major Arcana tarot cards that were used as game tools. Is what I said true?"
He looked at Zhoui Farren as if he was trying to get an answer from the mysterious False Master.
All Zhoui Farren did was smile without saying a word. He set his gaze on The Wisdom as if he was testing it.
Barth subconsciously straightened his back and said in a deep voice, "That's right. It is said that Emperor Kione Benaporte had seen the Blasphemy Slate and that the set of paper cards contained the profound mysteries of the twenty-two divine paths."
"Twenty-two divine paths." repeated Lucia in a longing tone.
At that moment, Zhoui Farren's headache increased. He felt that his invisible relationship with the red stars and the grayish-white mist was beginning to falter.
"Alright, that's it for today's meeting" he said in a heavy voice after making a decision immediately.
"As you wish." Barth bowed his head respectfully.
"As you wish." Lucia imitates The Wisdom.
He still had many questions and thoughts, thus, he was unwilling to end it so quickly.
As Zhoui Farren cut off the connection, he said with a smile, "Let's look forward to the next meeting." 'The 'Star' shone once more as the red light subsided like water. When Lucia and Barthez heard Mr. Fake, their figures turned hazy as they moved away.
Within a second, the 'projection' shattered as the gray fog restored its silence.
As for Zhoui Farren, he felt himself becoming heavy quickly. His surroundings changed rapidly as his eyes met the darkness before turning into dazzling sunlight.
He was still standing in the middle of his apartment.
"It feels like a dream.What a foggy world is. Who or what kind of power created the change that just happened.." Zhoui Farren sighed softly. He was completely flustered as he walked towards the study table as if his feet were covered in lead.
He took out a pocket watch that he had placed outside to determine how long time had passed. "Time flows at the same speed." Zhoui Farren made a rough assessment.
After putting down his pocket watch, he found himself unable to endure the headache of splitting further. He sat down on a chair and lowered his head, using his left thumb and middle finger to massage his temples.
After a long while, he suddenly sighed and said in Mandarin, "From the looks of it, I won't be able to return anytime soon …"
Only those who know nothing can fear nothing. After witnessing such an interesting event and studying the situation regarding Beyonders and the mysterious world, Zhoui Farren no longer dared to try the ritual of supplication using Feysaylc or ancient Leon language.
Who knows what kind of situation will happen. Perhaps, it would be even stranger, terrifying, or even a living hell!
"At the very least, I should try only when I have a deep mastery of mysticism," Zhoui Farren thought helplessly.
Fortunately, the so-called Gathering could give him some help. After another silence, he muttered to himself in a tone of dismay, disappointment, pain, and sadness, "From this moment on, I am Laville."
…
Laville tried her best to refocus her solution and her plan to clear the negative emotions within her.
Perhaps, he could learn the potion formula for the 'Awlookers' from the side. The 'Gathering' that had just happened was indeed interesting.
People living in different places around the world can reduce the distance of hundreds of kilometers to just a few inches and have face-to-face discussions while meeting each other's needs. Uh, by the way, this sounds a little familiar…
Laville was stunned for a few seconds before she laughed out loud. Pressing his temples, he joked, "Isn't that a social networking platform?"
