The Mistery of Belicena Villca confused , the Illusion becomes One . And while the Enemy recovers , and attempts to locate the trail , the Hyperborean Initiate will advance in opposition to the Powers of Matter a new meander of the Labyrinth , then placing another lapis oppositionis behind . Only in this way , if it moves in strategic opposition , and has the contest of another Initiate who moves simultaneously towards a different direction , drawing upon itself the interest of the Enemy , will manage to bring the Wise Sword to the Valle de la Candelaria .
The second Hyperborean Initiate will also carry some lapis oppositionis , but will plant them over longer distances , giving time for the Enemy to follow its trail and believe that the maneuver is carried out by a single Man of Stone , whom sooner or later will be captured . Of course , if this happens , if the Enemy succeeds to seize the Second Initiate , the operation will be completed in any case , but no one will save you from the retaliation of the Immortal Demons . These are the risks that you will have to run to comply with the order of the Lord of the War . It ' s up to you to decide who will carry the Wise Sword and who will distract the Enemy , and discover the opportunity , the kairos , to act !
Lords of Tharsis : I have said everything I had to say and it is not appropriate , for strategic reasons , to add nothing else . I reiterate the greeting of Navutan and I say goodbye until the next coincidence in the Kairos of the Final Battle . Grace and Honor , Blood of Tharsis ! --again wished us the Lord of Venus , raising the right arm to express the Bala Mudra .
– Hail , Captain Kiev ! – we answered , also practicing the Bala Mudra , which was always the secret greeting of the House of Tharsis .
Sixty-Second Day
The fog had dissipated and we were again in front of the Menhir of Tharsy . We both looked at each other with the question mark painted on our faces , aware that we faced the same dilemma . Who would answer the order to transport the Wise Sword to the Valley of Córdoba ? And who would assume the suicidal mission to distract the Enemy ? For me the question was not in doubt : I ' d take care of the diversionary tactic . But I assumed , and I assumed well , that Noyo would object to that decision : he told me , he was better fitted to offer the Enemy the greatest resistance ; he would never give up . I should travel with the Wise Sword while he diverted the Enemy ' s attention after his footsteps .
It took me a lot , Dr . Siegnagel , to persuade him that my plan was strategically superior . And it was because it did not only point to safeguard the Wise Sword but it was contemplating the very probable possibility that the Lord of the Absolute Orientation and his Order of Wise Builders would also require the support of the Hyperborean Wisdom of the House of Tharsis , especially the valuable experience gathered in millennia of fight against the Powers of Matter : who knew better than the Lords of Tharsis the synarchic conspiracy of the Golen , today affirmed in all Christian Churches , and their way of acting ? and what about Bera and Birsha ? who is more entitled than the Lords of Tharsis to discover their sentences of extermination ? In my opinion , which in the end prevailed , it would be Noyo who would locate the Secret Cavern and would settle in it as Noyo of the Stone of Venus , maintaining the Custody until the day the Hyperborean Pontiff built the metaphysical bridge and a Noyo of his Order of Builders would jump across it to connect with the Liberator Gods .
Having agreed on who would perform each role , we focused on planning the particular Strategy that would allow us to comply with the orders of the Gods . The ideal Strategy , as we agreed , would be to create a chaotic climate around the Farm of Tafi , leading to logically unpredictable situations that favored our operation . Thus , in the middle of a situation of high strategic value for us , but totally unrelated to such aims for any observer strange to the House of Tharsis , Noyo would leak surprisingly with the Wise Sword and would set out on the path to the Secret Cavern . Simultaneously , I would move in the
