Backlund, a steam train station in the Bridge District.
Admissor walked in front, and Valeera followed not far behind him, ensuring communication through "mind connection".
After more than ten minutes of walking, Valeela took him to her residence in the Bridge District.
Tonight is the night of the full moon, and she has to go to the "Brave Bar" to help Maric resist the curse. It is not convenient to take Admissor with her, so it is more appropriate for him to stay here to rest.
Of course, even if it was a temporary residence, Valeela would not let this guy use the bed she had slept on.
Like the trading market in Tingen, he also had to lay floors.
The difference is that this time it is a brand new bedding, a complete bedroom, and the condition has been upgraded by two levels.
For this future subordinate who came to her door, Valeela's arrangement was very simple——
Let him recite the honorable name of the "young" angel, the "little snake" Will.
After all, Valeela didn't have the formula for the "monster" potion. The two clues she had were that one was the fat "medicine" Darkwill, and the other was the "baby" angel.
Comparing the two, it is naturally faster to contact the "young" angel.
As for whether it will be successful or not, that will all be decided after reciting the honorary name.
After settling in Admissor, Valeera returned to her original appearance and went out again, walking on the streets that were dyed crimson by the light of the full moon, to meet Maric.
Iron Gate Street, "Brave Bar".
Knocking on the door of the chess and card room, Valeera saw Maric, whose face was much paler than usual. The other living corpses had lost their previous flexibility and were all sitting in front of the card table.
Obviously, Maric is in a very bad state right now.
"You're here, sit down." Maric greeted calmly.
Valeela suddenly realized at this time, and under his calm expression was a huge degree of trust in him, almost close to trusting him with his life.
In the past, when the moon was full, he fell into weakness, and Sharon was secretly protecting him.
But this time, he only had himself...and a verbal promise——
Valeera promised to come back on a full moon night.
After sitting opposite Maric, Valila was silent for a moment and said:
"I'm sorry for putting you at risk because of my affairs."
"It's lighter than you think," Maric nodded and explained, "Sharon will arrive before ten o'clock."
"Besides, it's not too late for you to come."
Having said this, he took out an ancient book bound with thick parchment paper, put it on the table, and pushed it to Valeera.
"I heard Sharon say that you have summed up another way of self-control from the inside out, so I won't preach to you today, so as not to interfere with your understanding."
"Sharon and I both hope you can perfect your critical ideas."
"This is the Book of Secrets of the Witch King Karaman."
"Although it doesn't record a lot of hidden history and knowledge like your family notes, it goes beyond a lot in terms of deep occult knowledge."
"Take a closer look, it will be useful to you."
Valeela did not refuse, nodded, pulled the "Book of Secrets" in front of her, and adjusted its position.
The hard cover of this book is dark black, with two lines of Hermetic written on it in crimson tones:
"The Book of Secrets".
"Karaman".
Valeera opened the cover and saw this sentence written on the title page:
"We worship the moon, not the goddess of the night."
Although she had long known from the original work that the author of the "Book of Secrets", "Witch King" Karaman, was an extraordinary person who believed in the "Primordial Moon".
But when she saw the words he wrote in the book, Valeela still felt a little uncomfortable.
In the preface, the Witch King Karaman said very directly that many of the rituals, secret contracts, astrology and summoning techniques in this book originated from the worship of the "primordial moon", and described the corresponding honorary names in detail:
"The unique red moon, symbol of life and beauty, mother of all spiritual forces."
After barely reading the preface, Valeera closed the "Book of Secrets".
Because the more she looked back, the more uncomfortable she felt, and even her spirituality became a little out of control.
This is not a good sign.
In the process of coming into contact with occult content, restraining one's curiosity and stepping back from the brink in time is the only way to protect oneself and stay away from danger.
Later, she and Maric discussed their respective understandings of the concept of moderation.
After delving into Valeela's thoughts, Maric pondered for a moment and gave his opinion.
"This is indeed a brand-new path of temperance, but I think it should not be suitable for our Extraordinary Pathways."
"We can ask Sharon about the specific effects later. She has been trying it these days."
“But that doesn’t mean your ideas have no value.”
Maric's brown eyes filled with malice were full of excitement. He stared deeply at Valeela and continued:
"On the contrary, I think its value is huge, even greater than our traditional concept of moderation."
He first stated his conclusion and then gave a detailed explanation.
"Practice and temperance from the outside in is a traditional concept that our Extraordinary Pathways have to follow, but this concept also limits the development of our members."
"After all, unless it is absolutely necessary, I think few people would be willing to take the initiative to undergo penance."
"But your set of self-control from the inside out is very suitable for everyone who is not a heterogeneous path to practice... It's a pity that it's a little late."
Valeera knew what Maric's unfinished words were about.
He regrets that his critical concept emerged too late.
If Valeera's critical concept had appeared before the "Indulgence School" became the mainstream of the "Rose School", it might have greatly enhanced the voice of the "Temperance School" at that time...
Perhaps, there will be no such thing as the "indulgence faction" strangling the "temperance faction" later.
As it was approaching ten o'clock at night, Sharon rushed over.
When she saw that Maric was safe and sound and Valeela was also in the card room, she finally relaxed completely.
You know, before today, when the moon was full, she had always provided protection for Maric who endured the pain of the curse, without any exception.
Fortunately, they were right, Valeela was indeed worthy of trust.
"Sharon, how do you feel about her critical ideas?" Maric asked.
Sharon sat down at the card table lightly and replied flatly:
"Not for us."
Maric nodded with an expression as if this was indeed the case. He briefly stated his opinion, which was also recognized by Sharon.
Then, Sharon took off the "Lost Mask" and gave it back to Valeela, and also said a more important message.
"I saw the 'criminal' this afternoon."
"He's very determined."
Sharon looked at Valeera and answered her question in advance.
"Tomorrow, he will see you again."
