Chapter 34 The Fourth Person
Bernadette stared at those outlines for a long time, until they gradually became clear as Dawn approached, and outlined an island with a large area.
On the island, one after another, huge dark green and nearly black trees stood tall, covering the ground and obscuring the mountain peaks.
Although Bernadette was not yet sure that this was the original island that her father had visited, the intuition of a "Master of Prophecy" told her that this was probably the place she was looking for.
As the coastline came into view, she pursed her lips, lowered her head, and recited an honorable name:
"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck..."
Immediately afterwards, "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette raised her hand and stopped the "Dawn" without crew members offshore, not close to the shore.
At the same time, the sound of piano, violin, cello, flute and other musical instruments sounded in the empty cabin, interweaving a warm and cheerful tune.
In the reverberation of the music, the toast, steak, mashed potatoes, fried mushrooms, etc. placed on the dinner plate jumped one after another, and danced back to the oven or thrown into the trash can.
The red wine bottles, white tablecloths and other things also returned to their original positions, or they were fitted with corks, or they were constantly folded to become neat and tidy.
Then, Bernadette tossed lightly with his right hand, throwing a bright, unrealistic ball of wool.
This ball of thread rolled into the void, leaving behind a yarn, and Bernadette walked along it, wandering the spiritual world, and came to the edge of the nameless island.
The "Queen of Mysteries" did not rush to go deep, looking for the possible tomb of the "Black Emperor", and cautiously let the blue eyes of the sea become deep, and lost focus for a short time, as if peeping at the river of fate.
A few seconds later, Bernadette's eyes returned to normal, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.
She felt herself being watched by someone.
Of course, this was what she expected, because she took the initiative to recite the honorable name of Mr. Fool.
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein accommodated the "The Fool" card, wearing the "curtain", holding the "Star Staff", and was examining the situation of the island through the prayer spot of the "Queen of Mysteries".
In his real vision, the island was shrouded in a faint, twisted black,
So that he could not directly see the situation inside, he could only get Bernadette's perspective.
Even if it wasn't the primitive island that Emperor Roselle discovered, it's not easy here... Klein nodded faintly, waiting for "Queen of Mysteries" to do more exploration.
Bernadette didn't use that thread anymore, because she had a hunch that it would lead herself into a dangerous abyss that could not be confronted.
She took out an illusory hat and put it on her head.
Her figure dressed as a captain disappeared, disappearing all traces.
This is also one of the fairy tale magic from "Mysterious Reappearance", the core of which is a "hat" that can make people invisible.
Then, Bernadette entered a forest composed of huge trees along a path that was opened up by humans.
There is no bird chirping, no roaring of beasts, and no crawling of insects. It is as peaceful as time has frozen, and it is as deadly as if no life exists.
According to Bernadette's understanding, there should be a lot of extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the outside world. Normally, it will be quite lively, but now, she feels that she is walking through an unmanned cemetery, and every giant tree is a tombstone.
In exchange for those Beyonders with weak minds, they must have tightened their spirits at this moment, carrying heavy pressure, and getting closer to the edge of losing control, but Bernadette's expression did not change in the slightest, and seemed to be used to being in danger and strangeness Go forward.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, she still didn't see any living beings, and she didn't even feel the existence of the wind.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, as the huge trees became sparse in front of her.
Bernadette didn't feel any joy. Instead, she slowed down, raised her hand, and placed it between her eyebrows.
Immediately in front of her, a pair of eyes without eyelashes, unusually indifferent, and tending to be transparent.
Then, these "eyes of peeping secrets" were held by invisible hands and placed on the face of a transparent person.
This is the "invisible servant" belonging to Bernadette.
This "invisible servant" with the "eye of the secret" quickly passed the remaining road and came to the open forest.
During this process, its sight gradually became clearer, and it seemed that it was no longer affected by the faint blackness in the air.
Finally, the "invisible servant" reached the edge of the open area, and passed the situation there back to Bernadette's field of vision through the "eye of the secret":
Beyond the sparse woods, there is a large clearing, where countless creatures crawl.
Among them are red dragons with flaming skins, tree men with bulges as eyes and slits as mouths, eight-legged devil wolves, giants with long limbs, dark green scales, oily feathers, only discs There, like a feathered snake in the hills, there are various creatures that are a mix of humans and beasts.
At this moment, they were all facing one place, prostrate on their upper body or head, as if they were worshipping an unknown existence, and none of them made a sound.
There are even a few humans in there.
One, two, three, four, five... When Bernadham counted several humanoid creatures, Wei Lan's pupils suddenly dilated a little.
She knew from "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya that the primitive island her father discovered once had some kind of peculiar pollution, which could allow the dead creatures to return here and return to the source no matter where the corpse was.
Among the "Knights" who followed Emperor Roselle, Green died first, and then William and Perly, but apart from the three of them, no one else was sacrificed in the corresponding event. There are five people in the creature.
In addition, Bernadette also knew that his father finally solved the pollution problem and made this pristine island his secret base.
Isn't that the island? The "Queen of Mysteries" examined the five human beings one by one through the "Eye of Mystery".
They were all dressed in luxurious Roselle period clothes, their faces were pale, their skin was shriveled, and they looked more like corpses than humans.
Because these five people were all crawling on the ground, Bernadette couldn't see their faces for the time being, and could only wait patiently for the "prayer" to end.
A few minutes later, those creatures straightened up at the same time, and the entire virgin forest came to life at once.
Seizing this opportunity, Bernadette saw the appearance of the five people and compared it with his own memory and the portraits he mastered:
"Green, he is really Green, this is the original island...
"This is Uncle William, I remember him, he taught me swordsmanship...
"Uncle Polly..."
When recognizing the fourth person, Bernadette's face with few emotions showed an unconcealed surprise.
That person is:
Edwards!
In Bernadette's memory, the knight lived until his father fell, and then his family moved to Lenburg, and did not die on this primitive island at all.
According to the information she obtained from "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina, Edwards lived to be nearly a hundred years old, passed away very peacefully, and was buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of Lemburg.
Uncle Edwards also returned to this island... Didn't he suffer from pollution, didn't he die from it... One thought after another flashed in Bernadette's mind, so much so that the pair of faces on the "Invisible Servant"'s face The Eye of Peeping has been watching the human who is suspected to be Edwards.
That "sir" looked old and had completely white hair, which was consistent with the portrait of his ancestors in his later years displayed by Edwina Edwards, and from the facial features and outline, Bernadette could also see the appearance of the other party in his prime.
At the time, Edwards served as her equestrian teacher.
Suddenly, the human who was suspected of Edwards turned his head and looked at the place where the "invisible servant" was with indifferent eyes.
Although Bernadette inherited a lot of Emperor Roselle's legacy, she was able to get to the present step by step in the mysterious world, and it was definitely not just the items. At this moment, she made a decisive decision and directly let the "eyes of secrets" disperse, let The "invisible servant" returned to the spiritual world.
Immediately afterwards, she quietly changed her position in an invisible state.
At the same time, Klein, who was above the gray fog, tapped the edge of the mottled long table, amplifying the probability that Bernadette would not be found.
When the human who was suspected of Edwards withdrew his dull gaze and walked to different places in the primeval forest with the surrounding creatures, Klein frowned slightly and said in a low voice:
"What's wrong with this?"
He remembered that the Great Emperor had solved the pollution of the starry sky on this primitive island before his death, but now, these creatures are still worshipping an unknown existence, holding mysterious rituals, which are close to the earliest description in the diary.
After the fall of the Great Emperor, someone in the starry sky eroded the place, or did they actually worship a symbol left by the Great Emperor? Who are the extra two people who look like Edwards and Benjamin Abraham in the historical fragment? Klein, who was disturbed by the faint black on the island, could not see what was being worshipped for the time being, and could only follow Bernadette's eyes to observe the surroundings.
After a while, Bernadette, who was proficient in prophecy, finally determined that there were no creatures in the open space, so he summoned the "Invisible Servant" again and gave it the "Eye of Secrets".
This "invisible servant" passed through the sparse part of the forest and the completely empty area, and carefully arrived at the place where the creatures worshipped just now.
There was a huge boulder on which stood a humble shrine made of dark mahogany wood.
The "Invisible Servant" circled halfway around and came to the front of the shrine, and found that the inside was empty, with no statues, no badges and other items composed of symbols.
Creatures on this island worship what seems to be non-existent.
