Chapter 56 "Ancient Times" (6/9)

"If that's the case, I have to take him to a big event next time, and let this Fourth Age bumpkin who always likes to show off see the luxury of contemporary aristocrats!"

Seeing the last sentence of this page, Klein thought for a moment and reappeared the diary page he received from Sharon a few months ago. Then a few lines of text that made him extremely satisfied appeared on the page. In front of you:

“What happened today, June 6th, was a disaster!

"The words stand as evidence:

"If you bring the 'Seal of Disaster' to the dance again, I will eat the shit pulled out by 'Sanguang'!"

Under the gray fog, the corners of Klein's mouth slightly raised, and then he sighed slightly in his heart:

The emperor is really a person who never looks back until he hits the wall!

Karen advised you not to go to the depths of the Mist Sea, but you insisted on going, and not only did you stumble into a strange island, but you also entered the abyss...

Liu Bo advised you not to go to the moon, but you went too. As a result, it was very likely that you were contaminated by the "primordial moon". You might have given birth to a child on it, and then it was released a hundred years later, indirectly killing five women. …

And the meaning of the "disaster seal" here is probably to tactfully remind you of his problem...but you still didn't listen...you messed up, right?

However, the "Seal of Disaster" version of Liu Bo actually has problems. He always likes to be a riddle man. Is there anything that he can't tell directly?

Wait... Could it be that he said that on purpose to make Russell step on the trap? It's very possible... According to my observation, the current "Liu Bo" in the Tarot Society is also a "fun person".

After Klein complained about the two fellow time-travelers, he turned to think about another thing:

It turns out that Bernadette's birthday is May 19th... and Russell became the consul and entered the White Maple Palace in 1173... According to the diary just now, Bernadette turned eighteen this year. …

In other words, she was born on May 19, 1155? If you do the math, you are almost 195 years old...but you still look very young!

Wait, what am I doing with this?

Klein shook his head and threw some messy thoughts out of his mind. He picked up the second page of the diary and continued reading:

“On March 6, that unspeakable organization once again called a gathering of members...

"This sentence seems to be repeated many times in my diary? Well, let me put it another way -

“The great Son of Steam, Grand Archon of Intis, and the common dream lover of the ladies of Trier, Russell Gustav came to the secret gathering held by the unspeakable organization.

"Back to the topic, today when I was discussing the characteristics of the sequence of each pathway with a member who was suspected to be from the Church of Knowledge, codenamed 'Doctor', I discovered several 'Sinkhole' potion sequences, and they also have a common characteristic, the sequence The name is modified by the word 'ancient'.

“They are ‘Ancient Alchemist’, ‘Ancient Scholar’ and ‘Ancient Evil Object’.

“‘Ancient Alchemist’ is Sequence 4 of the ‘Cultivator’ pathway. The reason why it is said to be a trap is because the ritual to be promoted to ‘Ancient Alchemist’ is to personally refine a ‘Stone of Life’!

"I didn't know what the 'Stone of Life' meant at first, but after the 'Doctor' explained it, I realized that one of the conditions for refining the 'Stone of Life' is to extract your own life for the next three hundred years.

"Although the 'cultivator' path demigods have a relatively long lifespan, they are not as good as those of the vampires... If three hundred years are taken away at once, if we cannot be promoted to Sequence 3 in time to make up for the loss, I am afraid that even some ordinary demigods who have no advantage in lifespan will Nothing compares!

"But if that's the case, Ms. Helen's husband may not live long, and I may still have a chance...

"By the way, the 'Stone of Life' refined by the 'ancient alchemist' using his own lifespan has a certain effect in bringing the dead back to life, but the premise is that he cannot die for too long and there are no irreversible fatal injuries.

"This sequence is simply a model of self-sacrifice for others! Tiankeng!"

"Stone of Life"? I remember that when Abner went to Tingen to resurrect the captain, he used the "Stone of Life" refined by the "Earth Mother Goddess" herself... It seems that as the sequence increases, the efficacy of the refined "Stone of Life" The stronger he becomes... You must know that when the captain was resurrected, not only was his heart gone, most of his characteristics were extracted, and he had been dead for almost a week!

After tapping his fingers thoughtfully, Klein complained again: Emperor, you are still thinking about Ms. Helen? Karen is your friend!

Along with criticizing the emperor's sexual behavior, Klein continued to read the content at the end of this page:

"'Ancient Scholar' is Sequence 3 of the 'Soothsayer' path. I have known this for a long time, and because of Zaratul, I am still very clear about the ability of this sequence!

"Haha, as long as you have cooperated with an 'ancient scholar', it means that you will be unintentionally borrowed to work for free countless times.

“But I didn’t know until today that this sequence of promotion ceremonies would be so deceptive!

"Being completely out of touch with reality for at least three hundred years, taking a magic potion after you have become history and no longer belong to the current era?

"Is there any ritual more deceitful than this? Which 'Cunning Mage' can live for three hundred years and still have to break away from reality?

“It’s already hard enough without Lingaowubai, Miss Douyin, without pesticides and eating chicken... If there is even a dance, even the enchanting or pure or mature or immature Lady Julia and Countess Valian , Mrs. Bennett, and Miss Ithaca are gone too, how can we live our lives then?

"You can't survive even one day, let alone three hundred years!

"I don't know how Zaratul accomplished it in the first place... No wonder he is so perverted!"

Sequence 3 of the "Soothsayer" path turned out to be called "Ancient Scholar"... Just as he was saying this in his mind, Klein suddenly paused and looked straight at the sentence in the Emperor's description of the "Ancient Scholar" ritual that did not belong to This description of the current era...

This directly reminded him of one of his honorable names:

"A fool who does not belong to this era!"

This mysterious space above the gray fog seems to be closely related to the "divineer" path... Could it really be derived from "uniqueness"? Klein was happy and solemn for a moment, because he didn't know what kind of price such a "gift" was marked with.

Immediately, he thought of another question, that is, how should he complete this ritual.

I can't wait three hundred years... I have to find a way to get home as soon as possible... It seems that after becoming a "Cunning Mage", I will have to consider jumping to the adjacent path.

Moreover, jumping the path also helps to get rid of the inexplicable "arrangement".

After thinking for a while, Klein put the matter aside for the time being. After all, he was not even a demigod now, so it was too far to think about that.

Taking a deep breath, he lowered his gaze to the diary again:

“‘Ancient Evil Object’ is the Sequence 2 name of the ‘Prisoner’ pathway. It has been mastered by the ‘Rose School’. Its rituals are also very evil. It requires turning itself into a ‘cursed object’ for others to use for at least three hundred years.

"And this is just one of the requirements of the ceremony. Even the 'doctor' doesn't know the more specific details.

"Oh, another three hundred years... In other words, three hundred years is the bottom line of the modifier 'ancient'! But in my opinion, a hundred years ago was already ancient.

"Moreover, regardless of whether there are other requirements, if you turn yourself into an object for others to use, what if you are used to do some unspeakable things? Are you still standing still and letting the other party do it? This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Should I say it is a ritual worthy of 'ancient evil'?! It is indeed 'evil' enough!"

Should I say that you are worthy of being Lao Huang? How did you first think of going in that direction? Moreover, a 'cursed item' formed by a 'Silent Disciple' must be a "1" level sealed item. Which force wouldn't be cautious about placing it in it? How could it be like you said...

Klein almost covered his forehead when he saw it, and was speechless for Old Huang. He estimated that this diary should have been written not long after Old Huang became the Grand Consul. It was a time when he was proud of his life and found the "Seal of Disaster", a fellow countryman and It hurts my friends, so I'm a little confused.

I just don’t know how Sharon will act in the future... Is it really going to be turned into a sealed object for others to use for three hundred years? I don’t know if there is any trick...

While Klein was deep in thought, Abner, who was sitting at the bottom of the table, was extremely bored and began to review these pages of Forsi's diary.

When he saw the ritual of "ancient evil things", his originally indifferent expression suddenly condensed, and then he began to think seriously:

When I saw the yellow stone with the spiritual imprint of "Mechanical Emperor" Evans in the floating city, I guessed that I might not be completely dead in Dennett Tinichole's life, and that I had some other plans...

Now it seems that he has been used by the "Church of Storms" for hundreds of years as the sealed object "1-025"... Could this be the ceremony for his promotion to "ancient evil object"?

And "1-025" has been "sacrificially sacrificed" to the "Bound God" by me and has become a part of His original body... This looks like digging a hole!

Moreover, it entered the body of the "Bound God". Once it was born in that body... would it also complete the ritual of the "god"? Okay, maybe it's pretending... After all, I don't know what the ritual of "gods" is.

"The Fool" Klein, who came back from his thoughts, did not notice Abner's change in mood. He lowered his head again and read the last paragraph of the diary page in his hand:

"Moreover, don't ask me why people from the Knowledge Church would join an organization that is hostile to them, and don't ask me why this organization would accept them...

“Asking is the tradition of the Church of Knowledge.”

What this means is that the tradition of the "Knowledge Church" is rich in "second- and fifth-year-olds"? No wonder you will call the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" "Two Five Dragons" in the future...

In fact, on this point, the "Tarot Club" I started is no less generous!

After laughing at himself, Klein made the diary at hand disappear, then leaned back slowly, looked at Justice, the Hanged Man and others and said:

"You are free to trade."
