Everyone held their breath and listened attentively to "Emperor's" account of the real events of the "War of the Four Emperors" during the Fourth Epoch.
Before this, they had all thought that the battle was a contest of military strength and overall national power between the four empires.
They thought it was a series of epic battles that eventually formed a moving and magnificent history.
Now, everyone realized that the "War of the Four Emperors" was actually an extraordinary battle of a very high level, and this battle, which most people were unaware of, determined the course of Fourth Epoch history.
'the specific process of the Blood Emperor's fall has been buried deep in history," Hobert said. "However, I have some guesses about the process of His fall.
"It should be that the Night Emperor and the Underworld Emperor joined forces to cause the Blood Emperor to fall. They may have reached some kind of agreement, or it may be that the two emperors tacitly eliminated the most uncertain one among the Four Emperors.
'the indirect evidence of their alliance is that the Underworld Emperor obtained the Uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' pathway, while Trunsoest obtained at least one Sequence 1 characteristic.
'that Sequence 1 was given to the Einhorn family among the imperial nobles, which is now the royal family of the Feysac Empire.
"I don't know about the original Intis royal family, the Sauron family, but the royal family of the Feysac Empire must have a Sequence 1, otherwise it would be impossible to fight with the Loen Kingdom for so many years without showing obvious signs of decline.
"If the original Intis royal family, the Sauron family, also had a Sequence 1, or had a Sequence 1 in the past, then the Night Emperor must have received two Sequence 1 of the 'Red Priest' pathway in this battle."
The other members slowly nodded, feeling that "Emperor's" guess was reasonable.
Klein behind the gray fog: So, "Emperor" knew the outcome of the division of spoils in this battle, so he knew that the Underworld Emperor had the Uniqueness of the 'red Priest" pathway. But the question remains: What does the Underworld Emperor want the Uniqueness of the 'red Priest" for?
Cattleya looked ahead: The result of the War of the Four Emperors still affects us today, or rather, the result of their division of the spoils of victory still affects us today.
Audrey couldn't help but imagine: How intense would the war of the Four Emperors, or rather, the war of the gods, be?
Fors held her chin: I really want to write a biography novel about this! It's a pity that this information cannot be made public.
Emlyn was still in deep self-doubt: Is this really the history of the "War of the Four Emperors"? Why is the ending the only thing that is the same as the historical knowledge I know? As a Sanguine known for his erudition and long life, am I really qualified?
"Finally, let's briefly talk about the descendants of the Tudor family," Hobert said with a smile. 'the reason for providing this information is because I know them relatively well.
"According to my observation, the descendants of the Blood Emperor are relatively special. Perhaps due to the influence of being half-mad, the Blood Emperor doesn't seem to have prepared any way out for himself.
'this has led to the current descendants of the family not doing very well. Well, at least the two branches of descendants I know of seem to be in dire straits.
"Although the members of the Trunsoest family are not very numerous due to special reasons, they have inherited high-level Sealed Artifacts and Beyonder characteristics."
The Balk family at least inherited two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts, while Rafter's family pitifully only had one Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.
The situation of Christian's Tudor family may be a little better, but Hobert believes that they probably don't have any Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts either.
Klein immediately thought: Do the Chosen of the "Creator" have a large number of descendants of the three emperors? Did "Emperor" come to this conclusion after seeing the descendants of those families among the Chosen?
He manipulated 'the World" and asked: "What about the descendants of 'Black Emperor' Solomon, whom we discussed at the last gathering?"
"As far as I know, there are mainly two branches, in addition to some descendants who have changed their names and are unwilling to live the life of an Beyonder family anymore," Hobert did not hide this information. "One branch is in the Northern Continent, with a Sequence 3.
"One branch is in the Berserk Sea, which is the 'King of the Five Seas' that we all know!"
Klein suddenly recalled: I saw a description of the current "King of the Five Seas" in Roselle's diary. The "Black Emperor" ship was bestowed upon Nast by Roselle.
Alger almost stood up, not knowing whether it was a question or a self-question: "'The Five Seas... King of the Five Seas' is a descendant of the Solomon Empire?"
Then he seemed to have thought of something: "I should have thought of it long ago, after all, his flagship is the 'Black Emperor' ship!"
Cattleya had already known this, but she still couldn't help but sigh: "Emperor" knows too much! I don't believe that there would be such records in the Trunsoest family's books!
Audrey and Fors and others all had a feeling that history and the present were connected, as if they had constructed a perfect historical logic, or a historical closed loop, in their minds.
Hobert leaned back in his chair: 'the above is all the information about the Tudor Empire.
"I personally feel that although the Blood Emperor did not achieve the final victory, he was the most unrestrained one: I came, I was world-renowned, and I left."
Everyone seemed to see the Blood Emperor, full of madness, laughing and leaving when he fell. They didn't know whether it was the Beyonder characteristics that made Him so crazy, or whether He was so crazy himself?
After savoring it for a while, everyone came back to their senses from the previous transaction and entered the next free exchange session.
'the World" first smiled gloomily: "I received news that the Storm Church has taken action, and the matter of Bansy Harbor has been initially resolved."
Alger, who had been floating at sea for the past week and had no contact with the Church, immediately asked: "What was the final result?"
Klein manipulated 'the World" and said: "For a period of time, there will be no more Bansy Harbor."
It was not until this time that Audrey and others understood what they were discussing.
Bansy Harbor was the place where the descendants of Medici, suspected to be 'red Angel," lived!
Did Mr. "World" mean that the Storm Church had flattened Bansy Harbor? That's really their style!
I just don't know if Medici's descendants escaped? Did the Pope of the Storm Church come to the scene in person? Did they use any Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts?
While these questions popped up in Audrey's mind, she asked: 'mr. Emperor, did Medici's descendants flee to Bansy Harbor after their ancestor was murdered?"
"Perhaps that's the case, but perhaps they didn't escape much, just hid their tracks," Hobert analyzed. "At that time, the enemy of the 'United Empire' was the Underworld Emperor of the Southern Continent.
"'Red Angel' and his people would generally appear at the forefront of the war. Perhaps the descendants of 'Red Angel' were fighting in the Berserk Sea at that time.
"After learning that Medici was killed, they withdrew from the battlefield, but they didn't completely side with Trunsoest like the Sauron and Einhorn families."
Audrey then asked curiously: "Why didn't they do this? Is there any unknown secret in this?"
Hobert pondered for a moment: 'the following is my guess, and I'm not sure if it's true.
"First of all, Medici set up a trap to deceive Sauron and Einhorn. The two sides were mortal enemies, and Trunsoest could only accept one of them, so of course He would accept two Beyonder families and abandon the Medici family.
"Because Tudor finally obtained Medici's spoils of victory, the Medici family regarded the Tudor Empire as a mortal enemy and would not go to join the Blood Emperor.
"And in the previous battles, the three extraordinary families of the 'Red Priest' pathway must have been at the forefront, and it would be difficult for the Underworld Emperor to accept the Medici family.
"Even if the Underworld Emperor was willing to accept them, they probably wouldn't dare to go, because from a very early time, the Underworld Emperor had been cooperating with the Demoness Sect, and it cannot be ruled out that they would be tricked into becoming Beyonder characteristics."
Everyone was stunned. Klein was the first to react. He manipulated 'the World" and asked: "Are 'Assassin' and 'Hunter' adjacent pathways?"
'that's right!" Because this was just Hobert's guess, he didn't intend to charge for this information. As for the information that "Witch" and "Hunter" are adjacent pathways, just consider it a free broadcast on this Tarot Gathering.
Cattleya also realized the value of this conversation. Originally, she didn't quite understand what these people were talking about regarding Bansy Harbor and 'red Angel."
But the following conversation was very informative. There was actually information about the recent situation of the descendants of the "King of Angels," and those descendants seemed to be hiding in Bansy Harbor.
As a pirate admiral, Cattleya certainly knew about Bansy Harbor, so she listened very carefully. She planned to carefully record these conversations and review them when she had time.
'the second reason," Hobert said, "It's not difficult to hear from 'The World's' previous description that the so-called 'God of Weather' sounds like an evil god. I seriously suspect that the state of Medici's descendants should not be very good.
"As for why they are not very good, of course, it is unknown. Perhaps they have been affected by something? Perhaps there is some corruption in Bansy Harbor? Perhaps they were injured in battle?
"In short, a Sequence 2 in a not-so-good state is best to hide their tracks, otherwise they will be very dangerous."
Hobert remembered that Klein later seemed to have discovered an entrance to the suspected "City of Calamity" in Bansy Harbor. It is possible that this entrance was infiltrated from the "Western Continent."
After the passage of time, some Sephirot seems to have infiltrated the North and South Continents.
For example, the "River of Eternal Darkness" should be the earliest Sefirah to infiltrate, or rather, the earliest to be used by gods outside the seal.
But of course, this information cannot be made public yet.
Audrey then asked 'the World," who was at the lower end of the bronze table: 'mr. World, do you know the specific process?"
"World" shook his head slightly: "No, no one can understand, except for the higher-ups of the Storm Church."
Alger fell silent: I must become a higher-up in the Church!
He emphasized to himself once.
Cattleya said to "Emperor": "I hope to trade information about the 'King of Angels' with you."
"Of course, no problem." Hobert smiled and said: "I'll give you a discount, just consider it as you joining the previous gathering's transaction, so I'll give you the crowdfunding price: 1000 pounds."
Cattleya didn't even think about it: "No problem."
Klein sighed: Are pirate generals so rich?
Next, Cattleya once again experienced the joy of pursuing knowledge, and at the same time, it surprised her many times: 'the 'King of Angels' actually involves the Ancient Sun God? So He also needs some subordinates!
This Third Epoch God is becoming so concrete in my mind for the first time.
"What? Wisdom Angel, Wind Angel, Pure White Angel, are respectively the current God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Lord of Storms, and Eternal Blazing Sun? This is really blasphemous. I actually know the origins of the three True Gods, or rather, the three True Gods also have origins!
What kind of Tarot Gathering is this? This is simply a gathering to blaspheme the gods!
"What? Adam and Amon are also Kings of Angels? I have seen descriptions of these two angel families in some ancient documents, but I didn't expect their history to be traced back to the Third Epoch!
"Hiss~ 'Dark Angel' is very mysterious! I remember seeing a partial description of the 'Dark Angel's' honorific name, 'Deputy of Heaven'. He seems to be the leader of the 'Kings of Angels'? Among these 'Kings of Angels', He also seems to be more special. 'Emperor's' simple description cannot help but remind people of the True Creator… …
"...'Emperor's' explanation makes the identity of 'Dark Angel' even more confusing.
'so this is 'Red Angel'. He was already a big shot in the Third Epoch!"
The other members also listened very carefully. Even listening to this information again made their hearts uncontrollably excited!
After all, this is top-level knowledge in the extraordinary world!
After completing the transaction, Cattleya was silent for a few seconds and then asked: 'mr. Emperor, you seem to be very clear about the experiences of the 'Kings of Angels' after the Third Epoch."
"At least I'm more clear about Medici's later experiences." Hobert thought to himself: I also know that he has become 'red Oil Hot Pot" now!
Then he sighed: Sure enough, the nickname wasn't wrong. Using "hot pot" to describe the state of Medici and the others is just too appropriate. Whether it's meat, vegetables, or soup, they're all mixed together.
Cattleya smiled and said, "Can I trade more detailed information about the 'King of Angels' with you?"
She realized that there must be huge secrets hidden in this information!
Hobert considered it for a moment: "Apart from 'Dark Angel', the information on the other 'Kings of Angels' can be said in more detail.
"If you still want to get detailed information about 'Dark Angel', the price will be at least 18,000 pounds! Because there are too many hidden information involved here, and this information may even subvert everyone's perception!
"If it doesn't involve 'Dark Angel', but only talks about 'Angel of Imagination', 'Angel of Time ' and 'Red Angel', this information is worth 2,000 pounds!
"If you add the other three 'Kings of Angels', this information is worth at least 5,000 pounds!"
Cattleya took a deep breath: "Let's conduct the 2,000 pound transaction!"
She still couldn't accept sitting here and talking about the gods as if they were chatting.
Audrey on the side discovered: At this gathering, "Hermit's" attitude is very active. Well, she should be as curious as I am about these histories hidden in the mist.
Klein realized: This pathway is not only about knowledge pursuing them, but they are also pursuing knowledge!
So Cattleya launched another transaction: 'does anyone want to join?"
'me!" Audrey raised her hand first and said, "I am willing to pay 500 pounds."
Fors also said without any pressure: "I am also willing to join the transaction!"
For her, joining the information transaction with "Emperor" has become like an instinct. As long as her financial resources permit, she will definitely join in and listen.
Little Sun also said: 'me too!"
He really wanted to know more detailed information about Amon.
The other members were a little hesitant. Hanged Man was saving money to buy the Sequence 5 potion formula, and he gave himself a limit of 500 pounds for each Tarot Gathering.
Emlyn was wavering between this knowledge and the beloved puppet, not knowing what to choose.
As for "World", this time he shamelessly prepared to freeload.
So the crowdfunding was quickly completed. The reward was 1,800 pounds and a Beyonder ingredient.
The 1,800 pounds came from "Hermit's" 1,000 pounds, Audrey's 500 pounds, and Fors's 300 pounds.
The last ingredient, of course, came from "Little Sun".
After requesting Mr. Fool to block the senses of the others, Hobert smiled and said: 'then, let's begin."
He didn't really care about "Fool" Klein's freeloading, just treat it as a reward for helping at the wedding before.
"Let me first talk about 'Red Angel'," Hobert said: "It is now very difficult to trace His origins. What is certain is that He was already Sequence 2 in the late Second Epoch, and some people even speculate that He was Sequence 2 at birth… …
Audrey immediately asked: 'mr. Emperor, is He perhaps the child of a certain god?"
Fors also thought of Adam and Amon: Born as angels, that's great!
Hobert explained: 'theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible for the child of a True God level to be Sequence 2 at birth.
"But in the Second Epoch, not only were the Ancient Gods non-adjacent dual pathways, but there were also many Sequence 1 level Ancient Beasts or King of Angels level Ancient Beasts whose situations were similar to the Ancient Gods.
'many times, a half-mad Sequence 1 with multiple pathway Beyonder characteristics who gives birth to a child will have the level of Sequence 2. The process of giving birth is the process of them expelling the Beyonder characteristics of another pathway."
Audrey nodded: "I understand."
Fors suddenly thought: If I have a child with Hobert… …
She didn't continue to think about it, because just thinking about it made her face flush red.
Fortunately, everyone didn't notice Fors's strangeness, but looked at "Emperor" together, waiting for him to continue.
Hobert continued: 'there is nothing to say about Medici's history in the Third Epoch. Throughout the early and mid-Third Epoch, He doesn't seem to have done anything memorable.
"Of course, it is also possible that some of the things He did were drowned out by the era when the gods and 'Kings of Angels' walked on the earth, after all, there were still many strong people at that time.
"And the entire Third Epoch, except for the last few years, can be considered a peaceful era without large-scale wars between gods.
"Only at the end of the Third Epoch did a sudden change occur. Medici joined the 'Rose Redemption'."
Before everyone could ask questions, Hobert quickly added: "As for that great change, it is not included in this transaction."
Audrey secretly said it was a pity.
Cattleya realized that that great change might be the reason for the value of 18,000 pounds.
After many transactions, Fors finally realized that the history of the Third Epoch might be as exciting as the history of the Fourth Epoch.
"Little Sun" could be sure: This great change may be the truth I have been pursuing.
Hobert continued: 'medici's history in the Fourth Epoch, everyone knows just now. He successively became a noble of the Solomon First Empire and the United Empire.
"He formed a legion called 'Red of War', which is said to be extremely powerful.
'this is why I said that He always rushes to the forefront of the war. Many times the Beyonders of this pathway are not only fighting, but also acting."
Klein behind the gray fog: "Emperor" seems to know the Beyonders of the 'red Priest" pathway relatively well, and even knows that they need to use war to act!
Cattleya: These are some historical details, some very lovely details.
Audrey recalled, "I seem to remember my brother mentioning that the Feysac Empire also has a very powerful legion. Now that I think about it, it should be a legion composed of Beyonders, a legion similar to the 'Red of War,' except he couldn't tell me too clearly at the time because I wasn't a Beyonder yet."
Hobert suddenly smiled and said, "Key information about Medici is here. I dare say this is my exclusive information because I also participated in that event!"
Everyone was slightly stunned. Wasn't Medici already fallen?
'medici was killed in a ruin in Backlund," Hobert said. "Although He fell and the Beyonder characteristic was taken away, His remaining spirit turned into a powerful evil spirit!
"What's even more surprising is that the remaining spirits of Sauron and Einhorn were mixed with the remaining spirit of Medici. In other words, there are three consciousnesses in one evil spirit!"
