Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 181 Party
If that's the case, and Hal Constantine is a demigod, then his mythical creature form is ridiculously large.

Could it be that the sea monster bloodline made him change like this?
How did Ryan know?
One doubt after another flashed through Chris's mind, but he quickly calmed down. After all, the topic tonight was not to discuss "Vice Admiral of the Deep", but to attend the five-year gathering of the Moss Ascetic Order.

"Is the party starting soon?"

Chris put his fork on the plate. It was getting dark and the sun had set.

Ryan wiped his mouth and threw the napkin on the table:
"follow me."

……

Vinia Manor is located in the northwest of the town. It is very large and the building is generally square with an exquisite fountain in the middle.

It was surrounded by open, well-manicured lawns, and the stables were further away.

Chris followed Ryan and pushed open the iron gate. In front of them was a road wide enough for four carriages to go parallel, with two rows of tall oak trees planted on both sides of the road.

About 50 meters away, there was the magnificent three-story building. Chris had rarely seen such a symmetrical building.

The porch in front divides the building into two, and ten tall stone pillars separate the building. It looks solemn, but the warm yellow light in the upper and lower pairs of sliding windows gives people a harmonious and warm feeling.

"Is there anyone in the manor?" Chris asked.

"The party is about to start and they're all inside."

Ryan didn't stop and continued walking forward.

There was no one around, but there was a standing gas lamp on the roadside, so the environment was not too intrusive.

Ryan opened the door, and the noisy environment inside instantly became quiet. There were more than a dozen "wizards" standing in the hall, wearing various robes.

Some of them were standing on the spiral staircase, some were sitting on the sofa, and some were leaning against the wall, but their eyes fell on the faces of Chris and Ryan invariably.

"Ryan? You're late. Who is he?"

An old wizard with gray hair came over - Gabriel, "Hermit" Path Sequence 5, Astrologer, and the nominal organizer of this gathering.

Chris took two steps forward, put his hands on his chest, saluted respectfully, and whispered:
"Graxel Mir, from Tingen. Sequence 8, 'Fighting Scholar'."

Everyone present was an Extraordinary. It was hard for Chris to say that he was not an Extraordinary. He deliberately said that he was one level lower.

"Tingen? I remember five years ago, you weren't the one who came to the party."

The speaker was a woman wearing a crimson robe, with dark brown curly hair hanging down, and a pair of slender legs vaguely visible in the robe.

She walked up to Chris and stared at him, half-smiling, teasingly.

Now Chris has doubts about the secret organization "Moss Trappist Order". In the original description of other secret organizations, such as the Aurora Society, their members are silent and imply madness, and wear hooded robes. The image showing the face.

But the wizard in front of him made him a little suspicious and a little surprised.

Logically speaking, the Moss Ascetic Order, as the earliest secret organization in the Fourth Age, believes in "hidden sages". Its members strictly adhere to morals and precepts and practice in silence.

Even if the "Hidden Sage" becomes an evil god and the Moser Traitors degenerate into an evil secret organization, the core remains the same.

Seeing that Chris didn't answer, the woman snorted, turned her head and walked back.

"Her name is Daniya. She comes from Backlund. Among these people, she is considered to be the strongest. She is a 'Scroll Professor'."

Gabrielle didn't hide anything and directly told him Danya's sequence out of trust.

Of course, it's not a simple trust. He divined Chris and found no abnormalities.

In addition to this, Ryan also attended a party.

It was for these reasons that Gabrielle trusted Chris.

"Sir, is Ms. Dania a demigod?" Chris pretended to be frightened.

"No, the person with the highest ranking in this gathering is only Sequence 5, the Astrologer." "Could it be that you are..."

"Ha ha……"

Gabrielle was noncommittal, but Chris had already guessed that he was the astrologer.

"Okay, everyone should be here."

Gabrielle's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present:

"There are a total of 20 people participating in this gathering. Among them, there is one Sequence 5 'Astrology Master', four Sequence 6 'Scroll Professors', five Sequence 7 'Wizards', and the remaining ten people are the 'Fighting Scholar' and the 'Peeper' Mysterious man'. There is no demigod-level powerhouse."

Gabriel is so confident and has nothing to hide, firstly because he is the only "astrologist" attending the party this time, and he can see through everyone and their strength.

As the only newcomer present, Chris was nothing special in his eyes.

"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya is also an Extraordinary of the "Hermit" path. She didn't come this time. Either she didn't like the party, or there were other reasons, such as lack of time.

Chris sighed secretly. Although she definitely didn't know him, he still had a slight affection for Cattleya.

Now that he was surrounded by strangers who believed in evil gods, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Gabrielle pressed her forehead, looking a little painful.

Chris noticed this, and he quietly looked at the others, and found that their expressions were more or less tired.

Hidden Sage?
Chris knew that He would instill knowledge into the extraordinary people of the "Secret Seeer" path. If their spiritual power was not strong enough, they would be transformed by Him, leading them to irreversible madness.

But because of the help of Star Island, Chris would hear the ravings of the Hidden Sage when he was promoted and traveling back and forth on Star Island. Normally, it would be difficult for him to hear the knowledge instilled by him.

Thinking of this, Chris felt that this was the "passive protection" of Star Island, and this function might be cancelled.He plans to try Star Island when he has time.

Gabrielle coughed, and then said in a low voice:
"Come with me, the ceremony is about to begin."

Everyone was silent and followed him through the front hall and into an empty hall.

In front of them is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, with spiral staircases leading to the second floor on both sides. The decoration is very luxurious. There are many oil paintings hanging on the wall. In the middle is a portrait of Sir Vinya. He is in his 40s and has black hair parted in the middle. Somewhat curly, his upturned beard is also black. He is wearing a luxurious dress and looks very proud.

There was a garden outside the window, but since it was already night, Chris had no idea what was growing outside.

"What's next?" Chris asked in a low voice.

"All we have to do is wait." Ryan stood beside him and replied in a low voice.

Two wizard-looking men brought a round table and placed three candles on it.

Trinity, all things are number...

Chris watched silently, but he didn't know who the third candle symbolized.

Gabrielle walked to the table and opened her arms:

"The quiet period is about to end, please come here."

Seven people walked out of the crowd. They were of different genders and ages. The only similarity was that they were all wearing robes.

Gabrielle took out a small bottle that seemed to be mixed with fine coal, sprinkled a little into the three candles on the table, and then dropped the wax from the third candle on the heads of the seven people.

“Our lives are a cyclical journey of pain as we struggle through a twisted hell…

The five-year quiet period was not easy, it was very painful, but you made it through the journey successfully...

All things are numbered, and knowledge is supreme. Now, let us pray to the hidden sage for knowledge and his favor..."

The candle suddenly exploded, and the seven people at the table covered their heads and fell to their knees with painful expressions.
