Chapter 95 The Freemasons

Chapter 95 The Freemasons
Swinging his dizzy head, Erenz couldn't remember when he fell asleep.
It seemed he was too tired, or maybe these truths themselves were too shocking.
He automatically rationalized the weirdness of acquiring the second order secret history from a conventional library, and lowered his head to write these secrets into scrolls with encrypted and un-mysterious texts, and stored and protected them properly.
After finishing this copywriting job, it was already afternoon. He shook his hand and looked at the normal traveler's gloves.
When reading "The Apprentice's Record, Volume XIV" at first, the author of that book should be the person responsible for hunting down and creating seals for members of the Abraham family, specifically after Mr. Jiemen disappeared.
In the extremely poor narration of the original author, he described:
"Through the apprentice path, once they reach Sequence 6 or higher, their brains will undergo significant changes compared to ordinary people. I once instructed a recording officer, whose skull had been lifted, to release all the records and had him record my extraordinary abilities. I found that magic symbols and symbolic signs representing the recorded abilities appeared on his cerebral cortex."
"But that kind of symbolism is somewhat flawed and incomplete, I think, perhaps because of this reason, the other abilities they simulate always end up being quite wasteful."
This specificity also seems to be reflected in this traveler's glove.
Erenz turned his hand over, using his right hand to block the left glove, carefully examining the intricate and complex symbols on the surface of the glove. They interlocked with each other, forming the complete symbol for the extraordinary ability known as "Abyss Shackles".
Perhaps this method can be used later to complete the information.
He flipped the gloves, pressed down the unusual symbols, stuffed all the scrolls into the satchel, and walked to the lace-furnished French windows of the library, overlooking Trier.
This art city, surrounded by the Trantozzo River and the Laine River, is filled with roses. You can see all kinds of blooming roses in street flower beds, central squares, and almost anywhere.
The slender planes of Ginkgo trees sway gently, with their yellow-green leaves flipping up and down, resembling a shimmering green lake.
Buildings with red roofs and blue roofs stand tall and scattered, giving the cityscape an artistic beauty. Architectural structures are adorned with an array of sculptural fountains, domed churches holding up golden spheres, and arched galleries embellished with rising and falling reliefs...
This highly urbanized city generously showcases its glamour. If it weren't for the sound of the lever being turned, steam being sprayed, and the ringing of the bell at St. Holoramic Church bringing Eranz back to reality, he might have continued watching.
Here is the headquarters of "Mechanical Heart"...
The chiming of the bell in the church gradually ceases, while the bustling Mechanical Heart Workshop below sees staff members wearing brass goggles and thick brown coats coming and going. The differential engines click and clack, releasing bursts of grey-white steam.
Three boiling fuel steam mixed power engines are burning like flames, sending pure kinetic energy surging through the entire church.
Stacks of reports and documents are sent into the air vents of the differential machine, based on the number of stamps on the surface cover, the importance is read and categorized, and then spewed into different folders.
One of the transceiver keeps printing text:
"I am Wolfgang Otto, former captain of the Mechanical Heart in Avaho County.
The handover of tasks has been completed. Thanks to the divine machine and the mercy of the Lord, forgive my negligence and sins."
而负责收发的工作人员则把纸张往右一推，开始换行发报：
“机械之心工作中心向你致敬，欧拓先生。
叛逃的窥秘人埃尔道斯·诺斯替·厄兰兹已经确认死亡, 根据你所提供的化名‘卡夫卡·坡’, 我们已经追查到了他的死讯。经过我司占卜, 测算和摹写确定, 其已经生理性和神秘学性地死亡。你的使命已经完成，谨代表圣霍拉米克大教堂向你致敬。”
As the dispatcher forcefully pulled the lever, the words dissolved, erased by the steam sprayed out, while the message was sent to the Ava County of the Kingdom of Loon through the laid-out circuit.
就在某个瞬间，这条宝贵的讯息从地面深处流窜而去，和行走在街头的厄兰兹有了那么一刻的交汇。
他站在原地，不经意地掏出一枚铜币弹了一下，目光越过镜片环顾四周，没有发现监视的痕迹，快步拐进某个巷口，多次重复后，摆脱了自己假想中的跟踪，他才安心地走到灰羊羔街102号。
This private mansion, known as Rose Manor, has a typical Indictus decorating style - to put it less politely, it is heavily reminiscent of a nouveau riche style.
The excessive application of gold and jewelry on the marble pillars has destroyed the aesthetic balance, similar to a dish overloaded with gold leaf that robs one of the pleasure of savoring it.
He didn't rush in, but instead confirmed that his amulets and protective spells were functioning properly. He made sure that his gun could be easily drawn from the holster under his arm while the dust in his hidden pocket could be used freely. Only then did he start walking around this huge mansion.
With his prying eye, he peered into room after room, only to discover that the space allocated for the kitchen exceeded thirty percent of this mansion. The peculiar distribution of space left Eranz instinctively puzzled.
"Sage, go to the Land Administration Bureau and check whose name is written on the deed here. If the position is higher than Sequence Six, don't bother looking."
After instructing Sage to investigate, Elenz continued to walk at a steady pace, looking left and right like a curious foreigner, admiring the Filistis-style decoration.
There are quite a few extraordinary beings here, at least five or six as estimated. The intensity and colors of their auras vary, mostly ranging from Sequence Seven to Sequence Six.
After finishing the initial observations, Erens habitually found a restroom.
Using methods such as geomancy, pendulum, coin divination, and tarot divination, I managed to gather some information, all of which point to safety, or at least signify so.
All of these methods are susceptible to interference, but it's always better to know a little more than to know less.
"I looked it up, there's no problem. This building belongs to Count Dewey Apollite and is his private residence, it is his private property. The procedures are compliant and legal."
Sage's voice echoed in Erlanz's mind, giving him a preliminary assurance of the safety here. But the "Tower" represented by the Holy Triangle Tarot Card still made him somewhat uneasy.
Because the Tower card is the only card in the tarot deck that has no positive meaning, whether it is upright or reversed, it is a symbol of great danger.
However, the problem may not come from the mansion itself, but from the things he may have encountered. As an international metropolis, Trier harbors many secret organizations behind the scenes, not just the Aurora Society mentioned by Bernadette.
Here in this place of extraordinaries, sooner or later one would be drawn into the storm vortex due to the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.
If it weren't for his inspection of that bronze piece, discovering that its hidden ability came from the Seventh Sequence of the secretive Hu Shu practitioners, which would catalyze the onset of mental illnesses, he would have already carried it with him as well.
This kind of concealment is very deep and difficult to detect. Even Eranz, who has a high inspiration level and is able to examine Sequence 6, took a lot of effort to discover the madness accompanying this extraordinary attribute.
No wonder Otto didn't notice at first...
He shook his head and stopped thinking about the future. He walked up to the mansion gate, raised his hand and pressed the doorbell. As the gears turned, the mansion's door opened, revealing a young man with thin cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and a look of impending doom.
Next to this sickly person, there is another brown-haired boy in a navy blue short suit, with pockets full of various syringes, medicines, and bandages, seemingly his doctor.
"Oh. Hello, hello, there."
The words alternated between Chinese and English from the patient's mouth. Seeing Erlantz's surprised expression, the two of them tentatively confirmed that they were both time travelers.
The doctor walked up to Elance eagerly, intending to shake hands, but paused due to the patient's coughing. He stood about half a meter away from Elance, and could only communicate with eye contact.
"You're also a pitiful person, haha."
The patient leaned on crutches, coldly laughing with a mocking expression.
"Goda, you should just rest. Your condition can easily worsen."
The doctor looked at the patient, who was called Goda, with concern. The patient simply nodded his head and hobbled over to Eranz with the help of crutches. He stretched his neck and whispered something into Eranz's ear, which only he could hear.
"I know you are a member of the Morse Ascetic Society. If you have any conscience left, you should leave immediately."
