"what?"

The two little girls were at a loss, while Fan Ning blinked several times in surprise.

He even wondered for a moment if he was talking to a Lord of Witness.

Of course, he immediately realized that his current knowledge of the "Apostle" was extremely limited, and all the information he had gathered was based on his own experience or speculation from reading documents, lacking any substantial direct information.

There must be a lot of unknowns and biases.

This is a dim area that even the understander can't see clearly, and the orderer... Fan Ning has never obtained the qualification to communicate with an orderer before.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he asked the two students to wait a little further away, then calmed down, sorted out their thoughts, sorted them out, and asked the doubts in their hearts as concisely and comprehensively as possible:

"What is the essence of an apostle?"

"Isn't it said that only the Lord of Witness has an apostle? Why is Master Luckert your apostle? Where is he now?"

"How did those apostles become apostles? What does the purpose of heterogeneity mean to them?"

The more difficult the mysterious knowledge, the more obscure the effect of expressing it in words, but Fan Ning still hopes to get some guiding hints from the other party.

The voice of the saint 伈佊 flows over the sea of ​​flowers, like water waves and air:
"The essence of an apostle is actually just a 'relationship', a relationship between sending and being sent."

"When one party is the 'sent one' and the other is the 'sent one', and left actual actions and influences in the long river of history, the latter can be called the 'apostle' of the former, and the former Call it the latter's 'mentor'—the name of the teacher here and the meaning of the high-level school are two different things."

"In short, there is no necessary connection between 'whether you are the Lord of Witness' and 'whether you have apostles'."

"For example, a young man followed his lover's preferences and did something for her; a minister was sent by his king to complete a conquest and plunder; his subordinates obeyed the minister's order to carry out a secret mission... …they are both Apostles and Mentors in a broad sense, and there may be nested chains: someone is an 'Apostle' to the sender above, and a 'Mentor' to the Sent below...

"But it should be noted that such a person often does not have mystical significance."

"A true apostle in the sense of mysticism, his 'send' or 'mentor' must possess divinity. That is to say, only the orderer and above can talk about 'selecting apostles' to have substantive significance .”

Fanning thought of characters such as Sylvia, Vassius, and Viern, and he asked questions to try to confirm:
"I have also come into contact with some secret organization members who seem to have heterogeneous purposes before, so I would like to ask the saint, if they are really apostles, is it possible that they were sent by the Lord of Witnesses, or just by a certain executive?" Sent by the sequencer?"

"Actually, the situation you are talking about is basically the latter." The voice of Yu Qian rang out again, "Even those who understand can't directly communicate with the Lord of Witness, let alone be qualified to be the apostle of the Lord of Witness?"

"Those who are qualified to directly enshrine the Lord of Witness must be a person above the complete sequencer, such as the 'saint' in the Orthodox Church. Mr. Scheler is unlikely to meet casually in the group of Esoteric believers. To the apostles of the Lord of Witnesses, even if there is one, it is difficult to have two or three."

"The vast majority of people who become apostles are selected and used by the mentors in the realm of the orderer themselves. These 'sent ones' will not be required to have such a high threshold qualification. Generally, most of them are ordinary people with knowledge, and very few are profound. Those who...Of course, because the sending relationship can form a chain, if an orderly person is both the apostle of the Lord of Witness at a high place, and the mentor of a wise person at a low place, then the actions of the latter will naturally reflect the testimony indirectly. the will of the Lord.
"However, the above definitions and principles can only be used as a reference rather than a golden rule. Occultism is not a natural science. There are neither absolute laws nor stable effective responses. Some are just 'normal situations', 'generally speaking', and incidental Countless and unexplained exceptions..."

Fanning began to figure out what this meant.

He believes that there is another variable, which may also exist in the time span of the long history.

If an orderly person ranks in the HOS seat through the fourth type of origin, will his former apostle be promoted because of his great achievements?In the same way, if the orderer worshiped a Lord of Witness before, and now he himself has become the source god, what kind of relationship will there be between the two Lords of Witness?
The more Fanning thought about it, the more complicated it became. The knowledge of this personality made him feel dizzy and dangerous.

He had to think about some known characters first.

Mr. F, Sylvia, Vassius, perfumer, experience officer, Viern
In this way, he immediately thought of the "old days" instructions for reproducing music and the phenomenon of tampering with keys.

Are you also a sent one?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible"

"I didn't even know this happened, and since I noticed the strangeness, using the way of reproducing music to expand inspiration or quickly open up the situation has continued, but the temptation to enter Huita and climb all the way reminds me resolutely ignore"

Fanning has always felt that the former is just a seductive "sweetener" and the latter is the real motivation, and he is very clear about this.

——If it’s sweet, just have a few more mouthfuls. The more things you can do to take advantage of the wool, the better, but if you want to get serious and put yourself in it?There are no doors!

He thought for a while, and asked a question that was equally confusing before:

"So what is the purpose or function of the existence of the apostles?"

This existence made the originally complicated stakes even more obscure, and made the already obscure secret history even more ambiguous. Fanning has always been deeply afraid of this.

If you want to eliminate the influence of various events on your cognition and decision-making as much as possible, you must understand it more clearly.

"Naturally let the mentor rise higher."

Fan Ning frowned at his answer.

Not understanding the meaning behind it, the other party asked again: "Mr. Scheler's spirituality has already grown to the limit, so have you ever observed and understood the structure of the high place?"

""Summer Noon's Dream" contains some of my understanding." Fanning replied calmly at first.

The next moment he felt the surprise in the invisible eyes surrounding him.

In fact, the purpose of asking this question is because the communication of hidden knowledge will continue in the future, and it is necessary to confirm whether Scheler has enough cognitive high ground.

He found that Scheler's understanding of Huita obviously exceeded expectations.

This is because there are only five movements in "Summer Noon's Dream" at the moment, and he has no idea that the other party is planning to use this work as a self-created key to promote the understanding person!
At present, Poglerich is the only person in the world who uses the self-created key to climb the order. This is clearly known by the "saint" behind the Orthodox Church and the "advisor" behind the official school.

It is also the direct reason why these official forces are extremely afraid of the Special Patrol Office and are willing to accept its leading position in the discussion group.

"That's good, Mr. Xiao might as well recall the knowledge about the 'key' first." Yi Qian reminded.

Fanning then narrated fluently:

"The key is a necessary thing to pass through the door of Huita. In theory, there are many forms, such as self, other self, secret ritual, ritual vessel, secret transmission, or a certain feat, a certain moment, a certain experience , a certain emotion or state. Any form has the possibility of becoming a key, but in general, most of its acquisition depends on the inheritance of Extraordinary organizations from ancient times to the present, and it is extremely difficult to find new keys.”

"Basically so. But have you ever thought about whether the keys that pass through doors of different heights will require more fundamental changes from a certain moment?"

Fan Ning's eyes immediately brightened up with the prompting and questioning of the two, and he grasped a sense of direction.

Yes, there is a detail here that was overlooked before.

The key needed to pass through the lower triple door and the upper triple door must be very different!
Now Fanning is only "metaphorizing the upper and lower structure" and creating the key to the first door. The climbing path has just started, and his knowledge of higher places is extremely limited.

But he recalled what he once found in the vaulted windows of the Church of the Enlightenment.

The original key information that was tampered and crossed out by the "Old Days" started from the fourth divine gate, and a large number of "apostle" words appeared!This is true no matter the climbing path of "candle" or "key"!
"After reaching the height of the gate of divinity, the required key began to be related to the apostle?" Fan Ning made a guess.

"More precisely, the apostle is a necessary part and link of the high key." The other party affirmed.

The cigars on the rattan chair were burned out, and the shadows of the petals and flames also completely faded to transparency.

Then Fan Ning saw that the figure of Master Luckert reappeared on the rattan chair!
He fumbled slowly for a new cigar in his pocket.

Are the apostles merely part of the key on high?

Luke Te is your apostle?
The scene in front of him made Fan Ning's mind run at high speed, and seemed to be inspired by something again.

The first two nouns in the key form flashed in his mind again, he settled down and asked in a concentrated voice:

"So, if my guess is correct, the types of apostles are also divided into 'self' and 'other me'?"

He, or Master Luckert got up and walked along the stone steps in the water towards the depths of the flowers. The cigar that touched his lips was lit again, leaving behind a cloud of pink smoke:
"It's those two forms."

Fan Ning quickly chased after him, and motioned for the two little girls to follow.

"But why?"

"Why does the apostle need to construct the key when the orderer wants to continue to climb?"

"Is it because the orderer has sublimated and moved, and some mysteries must be completed by the apostle in the waking world?"

This time his guess was obviously not on point. Master Luckert in front of him didn't look back, and asked Fan Ning:

"Since you have observed Huita to some extent, how do you feel?"

Fanning gave an evaluation without thinking:
"It's riddled with holes, and the higher you go, the harder it is to get through."

Master Luckert sighed lightly when he heard the words:

"Mr. Scheler's judgment is too optimistic, or the observation is not clear enough."

"In fact, the climbing path to the triple door has completely 'nowhere to go'."

"There is no way out?... All seven aspects?" Fan Ning asked with a frown.

"That's all."

"Then how did the Executor continue to climb up?"

Master Luckert took a deep breath of his cigar, looking at the rainbow in the mist of the garden:

"I don't know in what era this 'no way out' situation was formed, and I don't know which orderer first thought of this idea, but he must be an unparalleled genius. , even if he can find a way to pass through the gate of the dome later, I won't be surprised..."

Fan Ning had a strange look in his eyes: "Could it be that he invented the existence of the apostle?"

"The apostle is not the point, it's just a means." Lückert shook his head, "The essence of this idea is to find some kind of knowledge that can be regarded as the 'eighth phase' or Criterion type, use it to transform the key of the original seven phases, so as to build a non-existing 'support structure' around the festering or collapsed path, and force the orderer to climb!"

"And the knowledge or criterion that the orderers choose to serve as the 'eighth phase' is—the secret history!!"

Secret History! ? ...

The secret history can be regarded as... a kind of aspect?
This kind of amazing knowledge and imagination gave Fan Ning a very weird and beautiful sense of strangeness and dislocation.

He suddenly thought of the hidden knowledge 1+4 framework that Du Pont had mentioned as early as when he first entered the Guidance School, when he taught himself the mystic courses related to the secret history!

Among the types of hidden knowledge, "Secret History" is at the core because it is directly related to the origin and mystery of the Lord of Witnesses, while "Shifting", "Phase", "Mystery" and "Knowledge" are only derived categories.

Of course, due to the insufficient knowledge reserves in the past, the lecturers and learners at that time were probably all in the framework of "rote memorization", but now, Fan Ning feels that he seems to have found some kind of deep-seated proof!
Is this the theoretical basis for the "secret history" to be regarded as the eighth aspect?

Master Rückert's voice continues;

"Whether you choose 'others' as the apostles or send 'self' as the apostles, the purpose is essentially the same. They are to complete a period of undecided and inextricably linked in another relatively independent life. Secret History, and create or find a ritual vessel that contains the invisible power of 'Secret History', and give it to myself as a key at the right time..."

"The facts they witness are contradictory to the facts recognized by the world, and they appear extremely inconsistent, divisive, and illogical when taken out in the main river of history, just like "does not exist in this world" thing……"

"Such items are obviously incomprehensible in ordinary people's cognition. Their existence is forbidden, and forbidden things have power."

"Usually, such objects can be called - 'paradoxical antiques'."

When Fanning heard this, he was completely stunned.

Antiques of paradox?
Not only does it have the color of the regular phase, but it may also contain the eighth phase—the extraordinary item of the invisible power of "Secret History"?

Taking it out seems extremely inconsistent, extremely divisive, and extremely illogical, almost like an item that does not exist in this world?
