Chapter 183 Wake Up

439

Klein sat numbly on the sofa. After sitting for a long time, his face began to change and turned into Gehrman Sparrow.

Medici, who was boredly polishing a dagger, noticed his movement: "Hey, have you returned to your soul?"

Klein did not respond. He remained silent for a long time with that cold and gentle face, and finally spoke hoarsely:

“Do you know what ‘Origin Castle’ is?”

"Origin Castle... is such a name that I miss. Boy, you asked the right person."

Just when Klein mustered up his energy and wanted to listen carefully, Medici changed the subject: "But you are too weak now. You will die if you listen to some knowledge. You must at least be a demigod to ask this question again."

"I can only tell you - it is an incredible thing, a very strong 'symbol'. The gray mist protection on your body means that you have a certain mystical connection with the 'Origin Castle'. This is the first time I have seen it. To such a person.”

Medici's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, as if he had seen a scene from the past: "Before you, countless strong men broke their heads trying to find it, trying to establish contact with it, but they couldn't even touch a hair, and even went crazy. Got it!"

Klein's eyes lowered again, and he said slowly: "Really..."

Will "Origin Castle" be the reason why I travel through time and space?

No, judging from the words of this powerful man, the Source Castle itself is just a "symbol", a prop, just treat it as a very powerful and high-status sealed object. If I am selected by this sealed object that has no living characteristics, it proves that I meet some of its standards, and thus the "selection" is triggered...

Just like Russell's patterned silver medal and Edward's mysterious pendulum, they all seem to be related to "divination" and "divination", and are all related to the "divination" path! After going round and round, the problem still lies in the "Minutes of Secret Alchemy of Qin and Han Dynasties" bought at the local stall, or in other words, it lies in the transfer ceremony that I experimented on a whim!

Perhaps the Source Castle already existed on Earth in the past, and was operating covertly as a sealed object, sending humans who accidentally met its requirements to the future world!

But - but this is unreasonable!

Klein racked his brains to temporarily escape the pain and helplessness through thinking, so his mind was running at full speed——

First of all, he himself did not find that Source Castle had the authority over "time". It was not a concept independent of time, but a high-level sealed object that did exist but was difficult to find. It is impossible for Source Castle to send items to the future or the past, and if it is just "moving", it means that "past" and "future" are two timelines that exist at the same time. Source Castle is just moving some unlucky people. .

But world maps and city ruins prove that the past world has been destroyed, and there are no similar legends in the rumors of ancient eras. There is no way to know in which era the past modern civilization was destroyed and by what...

Could it be that before the destruction of the world, Source Castle was constantly collecting people who met its requirements and then kept waiting? The world that has been waiting and hiding until now is starting to let people out?

But Source Castle itself is inactive! Who is doing this? What was His purpose in doing this?

What does the "True Creator" mean when he says, "My fate is heavier than I thought"? Should I be annoyed with God for playing riddles, or should I be grateful to Him for not telling me knowledge and inside stories that might have made me die on the spot...

He couldn't help but laugh to himself.

My survival may be part of a huge conspiracy - thinking of this, Klein's already heavy heart became even worse.

The sound of the clock striking broke his thoughts. When, when... the clock rang eleven, it was already late at night.

Medici has been paying attention to his behavior, observing what is so special about this man whom the Lord considers to be "the man who has been waiting for thousands of years." After a moment, he read emotions other than sadness, numbness, and bewilderment from Klein's body language, so he spoke:

"You want to leave?"

Klein nodded slowly.

Medici thought for a while and felt that there was no need to bring him with him when meeting the witch tomorrow morning, so he asked casually:

"Why did you want to assassinate the little witch?"

Little Witch - "Lieutenant General Disease", Klein is now in a state of slow thinking. He believes that his identity and Azik's bronze whistle have been known to the other party, and this evil spirit does not seem to be very willing to interact with Azik. Mr. Ke was an enemy, so he thought about it:

"Tracy may have ancient documents related to the God of Death unearthed from the royal tomb of the Balam Empire."

Medici looked at Tracy.

Tracy was forced to start thinking. She narrowed her eyes and quickly recalled:

"I remember that I got it from a man named Jimmy Neck. The documents unearthed from the royal tomb of the Balam Empire did fall into my hands."

"But I wasn't interested in them. I simply turned through two pages and handed it over to the sect."

She was even in the mood to gloat: "Hey, even if you succeeded in the assassination before, you couldn't get them. I haven't seen them at all, and even if I'm psychic, I can't retell them."

Elaine asked in confusion: "Sect?"

Tracy suddenly became hesitant and her eyes shifted unnaturally.

Medici's focus is still strange: "The graves of his Eggers family have been dug up by the Northern Continent? The tombs of the royal family can be discovered by merchants, and the death documents can be taken away. Apart from him, there is no living person in the Eggers family. Yet?"

"There are living people." Traynor joined the conversation, "The Spiritual Religion also has a Pale Queen, and the Iron-Blooded Cross has some cooperation with the Spiritual Religion. I guess you didn't read last week's Southern Continent intelligence records. "

Medici raised his head confidently: "No, why, if I have to do everything, what else do I need my subordinates to do?"

Traynor calmly said: "You are right. Then have you read the latest reports that Bansi Port was purged by the Church of Storms?"

Medici disagreed: "Just destroy them. Anyway, they are just some descendants with thin blood, and they are all crazy."

Is the evil spirit related to Port Bansi? Klein captured a piece of information.

At the same time, Medici seemed to have found an interesting topic and turned to Klein again:

"Why does Azik Eggers want you to collect these things? No one knows the God of Death better than him."

This sentence seems to have some deep meaning... In his mind, Mr. Azik is a person who has a very close connection with the God of Death? Mr. Azik was once an angel under the throne of death? The God of Death has already fallen, so why is Mr. Azik still alive, and why is he (Klein still prefers to use "him" to refer to the current Azik) let go by the enemies of the God of Death?

Is the reincarnation of life a kind of punishment? But why not kill him instead of letting him wander the world this way?

Klein cautiously did not answer. He believed that Mr. Azik's angelic status was the main reason why the other party was unwilling to become Azik's enemy. Once his answer exposed Azik's current state, what would this strange and powerful man do? It's hard to say what to make.

He was wary of Medici, who was not as curious as he thought. He was more interested in the small-scale battles in the Southern Continent than in the household affairs of the Eggers family. Seeing that Klein was unwilling to answer, he Too lazy to ask more.

"You can leave if you want."

Medici waved his hand lazily: "The Lord has approved you, so I will reluctantly let you go."

"thank you."

After hearing this, Klein quickly stood up, thanked him and immediately ran away from the window.

Medici watched him disappear from her eyes, and said with a little regret: "How could he resist asking who I am?"

After saying that, he stood up quickly and turned around, picked up the cat that Traynor was petting, and stroked it twice, ruthlessly touching all the fur that Riel had just licked. The Riel was placed back on the table.

Dissatisfaction will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred from the evil angel to the demon cat.

Seeing Riel licking his fur again in anger, Medici clapped his hands with satisfaction: "I feel much better."

Trainor had nothing to say.

…

Klein appears and disappears on the streets of Byam.

He didn't want to touch the favor of the "True Creator" at all, and even wanted to turn around and immediately use the gray mist to disinfect it.

But it has to be said that the information that "the true creator is suspected to be a contemporary" suddenly made Klein's favor towards him much higher, and he even couldn't help but wonder if there might be a reason for his madness.

It's as if the evil god will look more pleasing to the eye as long as he has the label of a fellow villager... Why are the fellow villagers I meet either dead or bad... Klein shook his head and gave a wry smile at his naivety.

In order to prevent others from discovering that he was a pervert who went out wearing only boxers, he quickly used flesh and blood to make clothes for himself, then said a prayer, went to Source Castle, took some money, and entered with the "Master Key" I bought a complete set of formal clothes including shoes and socks from a closed men's formal wear store. After finishing dressing in the dressing room, he left 2 pounds and left the formal clothing store.

The "True Creator" hinted at the Source Castle to me, but did not show any intention of snatching it. Although it may be because my strength is not enough to protect the Source Castle at all. Anyway, at least I'm safe.

Judging from what the evil spirit said, those strong men who need Origin Castle are very likely to come to kill people and seize the castle... In the final analysis, Origin Castle is not of much use to me, but at least after I kill Ince Zangwill I still needed it before...

After getting dressed, Klein walked silently on the deserted streets for a while, came to the quiet port, sat on the edge of the empty ship and looked at the quiet and steady sea for a few minutes, and then blew the copper whistle.

The snake-tailed demigod appeared as hard-working as ever. He looked at Klein, waiting for a letter or instructions.

Klein suddenly felt unmotivated. After the previous tension disappeared, he finally felt tired both physically and mentally. He looked at the Snake Tail Demigod and said:

"I hope to meet Mr. Azik."

——After realizing that the snake-tailed demigod had the interesting ability of occult recording, Klein began to be lazy and not write letters, and communicated some less important things verbally.

Then, he described in detail the relationship between the wealthy businessman Jimmy Neck, the death documents unearthed from the tomb of the Balam Empire in the southern continent, "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos and "Disease Lieutenant General" Tracy, etc., and mentioned And all the thrilling changes that happened tonight. Although his assassination failed and he unfortunately learned from Tracy that all the documents had been handed over to the Witch Sect, Klein felt that the hints of the "True Creator" and the information revealed by the evil spirit were still quite valuable to explore.

By the way, he planned to try to get clues to the identity of the evil spirit from Azik, so as to learn the purpose of two high-ranking members of the Iron Cross appearing at sea at the same time.

After saying all this, Klein and the snake-tailed demigod looked at each other for a while, and then suddenly asked:

"Were you human when you were alive?"

Before he finished speaking, Klein immediately felt that his question was really boring and even a little embarrassing.

The snake-tailed demigod remained motionless, and then slowly answered Klein in his mind: Not exactly.

A natural demigod is indeed not completely human... Klein felt that he still had to chat with a pure human, so he quickly expressed his gratitude and let him leave.

"Azure Wind" hotel, in a luxurious suite.

Danitz opened the door and saw Gehrman Sparrow. He quickly glanced around cautiously before moving out of the way.

"How was it? Was the hunting successful?" After closing the door, he asked curiously and excitedly.

"Lieutenant General Disease" is a famous beauty. When I saw her before, she was more charming than I thought. It would be a waste if she died like this. She should be locked up and imprisoned forever, life imprisonment... Bah , can she be as beautiful as the captain? There are many people with such looks in the Red Theater! Daniz thought rather paradoxically.

Klein thought of the "Black Death" that had become a ruin on the sea. He thought that the fire on the ship should be extinguished by now. He had not received any information in the past two hours. Danitz's intelligence network was not very good.

"Almost." He responded coldly.

"What a pity..." Daniz sighed smoothly.

What he was thinking was:

This madman Gehrman Sparrow is really strong!

Sneaking into the Black Death to assassinate "Vice Admiral Disease" is just a hair away from success, and even if it fails, you can still return with almost no damage!

You must know that the reason why every pirate general can be famous throughout the five seas, second only to the Four Kings, is not only that they are strong enough, but also because they represent a team and a force, with a large number of extraordinary people under their banner, who can survive after the assassination fails. , escaping from the Black Death is enough to show that Gehrman Sparrow is no worse than any pirate general!

"'Creeping Hunger' is really that powerful? No, if it were me, even if I had 'Creeping Hunger', I wouldn't be able to do something similar..." Danitz felt more and more like when he faced Gehrman Spa Luo Shi's decision of not trying to resist was too wise.

So Daniz quickly took out the paper bag, greeted him, and said with a flattering smile:

"This is the reward of 700 pounds."

At this moment, he and Klein heard someone knocking on the door at the same time. The visitor was Captain Ireland.

The captain flashed into the room, took a deep look at Gehrman Sparrow, and lowered his voice:

"I was going back to Pulitzer Harbour, but I got another message."

"There seems to be something big happening over at Bansi Port."

The Church of Storms finally took action against Bansi Port? Klein asked very calmly without feeling guilty at all:

"what's the situation?"

Ireland did not notice any unusual reaction from Gehrman Sparrow. He withdrew his gaze, looked around and said:

"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that it may involve the high-level power of the Church of Storms."

"And some time before this, all routes to Bansi Port were canceled. This may be the so-called sign."

Involving the high-level power of the Church of Storms? No, it should be the top power. I suspect that the Pope of the Church of Storms and the angel on earth took action personally, and even used "0" level sealed objects. After all, there may be a king of angels on the opposite side, who is better than the fourth. The more ancient King of Angels and his descendants... Klein nodded and asked calmly:

"what's the result?"

Unable to distinguish Gehrman Sparrow's true emotions, Ireland sighed and said with a smile:

“There won’t be a Bansi port for a long time.”

...As expected of the Church of Storms... Klein was secretly dumbfounded, curious about the more detailed process.

He wanted to know what happened in this process, what did the "crazy descendants with thin blood" that the evil spirit said before represent, and whether they had been eliminated by the Church of Storms. He wanted to know what happened to the indigenous residents of Bansi Port. , want to know what the intermittent way of speaking means, and want to know what secrets are hidden in the Green Lemon Restaurant and the Telegraph Office.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of Port Bansi, he would never get a definite answer.

"Also, there is one more thing."

Ireland then dropped a bombshell: "For a long time, there will be no 'Lieutenant General of Disease'."

Daniz, who was drinking water, coughed crazily.

Ireland gave him a strange look, but didn't take the pirate's strange behavior to heart. His reaction when he got the news tonight was also quite unstable.

"Just tonight, a few hours ago, a military informant reported that he witnessed the wreckage of a suspected 'Black Death' at the dock."

"The entire ship was completely destroyed, and 'Vice Admiral Disease' Tracy was missing. This news will soon spread on the sea. If no one else takes over in a short time, the Five Seas will return to the Four Kings and Six Generals. ”

After Ireland left, as soon as Klein turned his head to Daniz, he saw the expression on the other person's face complete a complete change from horror to fear to reverence. Klein coughed unnaturally after taking advantage of the strong record of the Iron-Blooded Cross. He knew that Danitz must want to know more details, but he deliberately did not mention this topic.

Klein asked him: "How long has it been since you went home?"

Danitz was stunned by this question and didn't understand Gehrman's purpose. He scratched his head and said honestly:

"It's been almost twenty years, right? The old man and my mother still live there. They want to write to me but don't know where I am. Sometimes I go back to see them secretly..."

Klein was silent for a while and then asked, "Do you miss them?"

"Uh... um..." Daniz frowned, "Occasionally I think about my mother, because the old man always quarrels with me..." He was somewhat embarrassed when it came to topics such as family ties, Daniz I don't want to cry like some young sailor who is reluctant to leave home. He was worried that Herman would look down upon him for crying, so he interrupted his answer uncomfortably, thinking that by asking me, Herman thought that I had not become famous after more than ten years of work. Was he trying to beat around the bush to suggest that I should still Go back to your hometown to farm right away?

He waited uneasily for Uncle Herman's remark, but only waited until the sound of Herman turning around and leaving, returning to his room and closing the door.

The pirate rubbed the back of his head for no apparent reason, but these two sentences suddenly aroused some thoughts of going home.

"This madman is quite humane...?"

Daniz was puzzled as he returned to his room. He wanted to write a letter to his family again.
