Chapter 494 The Process of the World

771

"...Then, please rest on the Future while you are on the way to the transit island."

Alger was a little surprised that "The World" would actually be willing to stay on the "Poseidon" instead of the larger, more comfortable and more advanced "Future". Although it involves issues of faith, "Hermit" Cattleya is trustworthy If you are an acquaintance, you won't do anything bad.

"The dinner will be in the dining room around seven o'clock."

Alger turned to Derrick and said.

"Okay." Derrick nodded seriously.

He turned back again and looked at the distance behind him. There were still dark figures on the coastline of the Eastern Continent that was vaguely visible.

The "Poseidon" is not too big, but it is also the largest ship in the stronghold. With the blessing of extraordinary power, it can accommodate more than 200 people. Even so, it was still far inferior to the fleet brought by Cattleya.

The most important thing is that the food they originally expected to feed two hundred people for a week was almost used up at the banquet just now. Alger stepped back from the brink and saved the last small portion of food from Daniz. This was at least enough. They ate as far as Mid-range Island.

After the exchange, everyone returned to their cabins to wait.

After arriving at a relatively spacious room that "Alger" had specially set aside for himself, Klein immediately took out a pen and paper, lay down on the one-meter-long wooden table, and prepared to write a letter.

He thought for a while, and with a slight smile, he wrote:

"Dear Mr. Azik:

"It seems like it's been a long time since I wrote to you, because I went on a wonderful trip to the Forsaken Land."

“There are only two kinds of creatures there, one is living intelligent creatures, and the other is monsters, and those intelligent races are either burdened with curses or have obvious distortions, which are more miserable than I thought before.

"I tried to help them."

"In the beginning, I made promises that I couldn't fulfill at all. Later, I gradually had more interactions with them. I once thought about what kind of changes my actions would bring to them, and I even resisted Continuing this help, I gradually got the answer: This was not just for rituals, as anchors, to satisfy my own pity, to help these people who never gave up get what they wanted, so that people in the Eastern Continent no longer have to Falling asleep with a weapon, gradually turning into a monster or killing a loved one, is its own meaning..."

“A lot of people helped me and gave me guidance during the process.”

"It may be hard for you to believe that I got help from the 'Red Angel' and personally faced a certain great being."

Neither Medici nor Ourolius participated in the banquet, nor did they follow them on the ship, but anyway, the two angels did not need to worry about it themselves.

Klein thought for a while and took out some souvenirs from the Eastern Continent from his pocket - flutes ground from the bones of extraordinary creatures, and several pieces of gorgeous feather products from extraordinary creatures. He put these items with obvious styles aside and prepared Send it to Mr. Azik later.

"I'm happy, I'm glad I was able to help them."

"Now, I am in the same fleet with them, waiting to go to the outside world and start a new life on the island."

"Apart from those sufferings, the situation in the entire God-Forsaken Land is completely different from the outside world. At night, the entire continent is like an oil painting with black as the main color. Even if it gets sunlight, there are still countless dangers Hidden in the shadows.”

"What's surprising is that I saw a river here that couldn't be seen in the light. I was very puzzled at the time. Today I finally came up with a guess. I suspected that this was related to the 'Eternal Darkness', one of the nine sources of matter. The River' is about..."

"This reminds me of Calderon, a city in the spiritual world, and of the phoenix ornaments made of gold that you once mentioned... Rumor has it that the ancestor of the phoenix and the 'God of Death' can both use 'Eternal Darkness' to a certain extent. River', could it be that this existence has also tried to accommodate the sefirah? I wonder what you know about this?"

"I have been in the Land Abandoned by God for a long time, several months. As the New Year of 1350 approaches, I heard that the war disturbances in the outside world are gradually diminishing, and they are mainly internal purges and border wars. But between countries, The contradiction between the gods has not changed, and there are more forces moving in the darkness. I think the peace now is not peace, but the beginning of a new change."

"But no matter what, for most people, the long-lost peace has arrived."

"People are gradually returning to their normal lives. This is a picture I like, but some pain may never be healed..."

"I don't know if the end will come on time in eighteen years, and I don't know when you will reply to my letter. I can only hope that everything will develop in a good direction."

"Finally, let me tell you a trivial matter. I have been promoted to Sequence 2 and became a 'Miracle Master'."

"I took this step to become a complete mythical creature, closer to my goal. It's both a curse and a hope."

"Best wishes, your eternal student, Klein Moretti."

After finishing writing, Klein checked it carefully before folding the letter and groping for the harmonica that summoned Reinette Tinichole from his body.

Klein played the harmonica, but after half a minute, the room was still quiet, and the familiar figure with four heads did not appear in front of him.

"Isn't Renette Tinichole here?"

Klein was a little puzzled. He had never seen anything like this before.

"I should have mentioned it to the Temperance Angels just now. They are all members of the Rose School and must have correspondence."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Reinette Tinichole still did not appear, Klein had no choice but to do the next best thing and enter the spirit world through "teleportation", releasing friendly spirits seeking help, and casually communicating with the surrounding spirit world creatures. After a while, he finally chose a spiritual creature that looked like a fish with wings and handed it his letter.

Klein originally wanted to discuss the reward with this spirit world creature, but when the messenger who dared to accept his commission opened his mouth to swallow the letter, his three wings and tail fins were trembling, as if he was aware of "the greatness above the spirit world." The breath of domination.

Klein, who inadvertently frightened others, had no choice but to chuckle, handed the letter to the unknown messenger, and watched as it spun around in front of him, then flew into the depths of the spiritual world like a stream of light. The trace was lost in a blink of an eye.

When handing over the letter in hand, Klein suddenly thought of Fulgrim's dogs in the fog on Origin Castle.

"If I hadn't lost Origin Castle...at this time, maybe they should be the ones helping me deliver the letter?" Klein muttered to himself silently, and then his figure slowly faded, returned to reality, and sat on his own in the cabin.

The huge sailboat swayed slightly, and the wooden planks in the cabin were not too thick. Klein could hear the exchanges between the half-giants.

"Where should I go next?"

He calmed down and carefully planned the future.

Where to go? Klein repeated the question in his mind.

"I kind of want to go back to Loen." Klein thought to himself.

The last time I went to see Melissa was after she was promoted to Sequence 4.

He waited patiently outside Backlund University where Melissa applied, pretending to be a college student, and watched Melissa finish class with her new classmates.

From then until now, I have never gone back.

Klein wanted to go back, but he didn't dare.

Because the level of his involvement is already too high, getting close to his brother and sister will only bring disaster to them. For those who don’t know Klein’s original identity, similar behavior will help them understand Benson, Melissa and Grams. The relationship between Klein, for those who know Klein's previous experience, this will allow them to confirm one thing, that is, Klein still maintains his humanity and still cares about his relatives very much.

Therefore, staying away from Benson and Melissa is the best way to protect them.

certainly. Klein had previously learned about his brother and sister’s situation through Miss Justice Audrey:

Benson showed his sophistication and tact in the Ministry of Finance that was in chaos due to the death of the emperor. He also performed well in previous emergency disasters and was promoted many times. He has become the deputy director of the Fifth Division, with an annual salary of 300 pounds.

Melissa, on the other hand, is relatively worse.

At the beginning, her studies were smooth sailing, and she fully demonstrated her talents in mechanics. She was favored by her mentor Portland Mormont, who gave her a chance to become an extraordinary person.

——The president of Backlund Technical University is a believer in the "God of Steam and Machinery" and has long entered the extraordinary path. He is currently the "appraiser" of Sequence 7. He hopes that Melissa will become the "Appraiser" of Sequence 9. "General knowledge" in order to better learn knowledge, improve memory, and lay a good foundation for future development in the mechanical field.

This is Melissa's secret, but it cannot be hidden from the "audience" who is closely related to her.

At that point, Audrey assured Klein that Melissa was leaning toward saying yes and that a decision would be made in the next few days.

The inspiration for improvement in the "General Knowledge" path is quite limited. Melissa is less likely to hear sounds she shouldn't hear and see pictures she shouldn't see. With the advent of the end, the possibility of madness caused by lower-sequence potions is further reduced. Moreover, there is his senior in the mysterious world who can help reduce the risk of losing control.

However, just when Klein was mentally prepared to acquiesce, the conflict between Intis and Roen suddenly broke out. The war between gods even started directly in Backlund, and the ocean followed suit and submerged most of Trinidad. you.

The principal who escaped the disaster directly moved to Intis with the church, taking away a large number of technical staff and almost half of the entire top management of Backlund Technical University.

In this way, the laboratory and project team that Melissa belonged to were immediately shut down, and no one mentioned the things that made her an extraordinary person.

"For a mechanical enthusiast, it must be very sad to miss this opportunity... and the same is true of Momont's attitude. He does not want a believer of the "Night Goddess" to get too many potions from the Church of Steam... …”

Klein thought about this matter again now, and he didn't know how his brother and sister's lives were going after half a year had passed.

"The end is approaching day by day, the invisible barrier is becoming more and more fragile, the erosion of the world by the outer gods will become more and more obvious, and the probability of ordinary people encountering extraordinary events will definitely gradually increase. From this perspective, Melissa becomes It's also a good thing to be an Beyonder. If she can successfully advance to Sequence 6 'Artisan', that is, a 'Mechanical Creation Expert', she can not only fulfill her dream, but also protect herself and Benson..."

"But the problem is, Melissa's study life is definitely back on track now. How can I let an ordinary college student who has never been exposed to extraordinary people and has no extraordinary people around him come into contact with the 'Artisan' potion?"

"Let Miss Justice find an opportunity to tell Melissa the 'magic potion' and 'acting method' without leaving any trace, and try to persuade her to agree? How far she can grow after that depends on herself. The most I can do is Being able to give her some good luck, uh, formulas, materials... I really feel like a brother who has had his heart broken, huh, that's what it is... does this count as a 'wish' coming true in some sense?"

After ending his aimless thinking, Klein felt a little relaxed.

So, he once again thought of his business.

"For reasons and reasons, I should go back to Loen, but I should try my best not to give Amon the chance to do anything to me."

——I really want to "teleport" directly to the main peak of the Honakis Mountains, enter the ancient palace between reality and the foggy town, and see if there is a chance to get it from the "Fool" half of the Antigonus family. Take the "blasphemous card" that is most useful to you.

But with his current strength of Sequence 2, he definitely doesn't have the ability to complete this task. He doesn't even have the matching marionette - but when Zarath was in Sequence 2, he could get it from half of the "Fool" The main material of "The Secret Attendant".

Of course, the premise of everything is that the "Goddess of the Night" maintains the suppression and seal of the Antigonus family ancestors.

Also, the "Night Goddess" doesn't mind seeing someone competing for the Lord of Mysteries.

...Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this goddess has been quiet for a long time and has not shown any tendency in this regard.

Ever since the Church of the Night inexplicably gave up part of its power to Loen, it has become much more low-key. Then the George III incident occurred. The "Son of Chaos" did not let go of anyone with Augustus blood. They probably gathered the flesh and blood of these people to prepare for their return - even Lu En The emperors are all temporarily replaced by Thunder Pope Gad II. Roen is almost like Intis. Although it is a polytheistic religion, it is called the "Land of Thunder\Land of the Sun".

Hiss... If His attitude is neutral, can I find a way to test the goddess's thoughts first?

Prepare some high-quality occult props and try to pray to the goddess of the night...

But I have to be prepared to be rejected, or if the goddess of the night offers a high price that I can't pay, then I can only find another way... But there is no other way. Once Zarathul's sequence is gone, Amon is still alive, and the only thing I can choose is the "door"...

But choosing "door" means that I must agree to the demon of knowledge's request.

How to choose this?

Klein pursed his lips and fell into thinking.

…

Just as the advance teams of Silver City and Moon City finally left the dangerous Eastern Continent, they officially began their voyage to the new world.

The outskirts of the sea of ​​ruins of the God War.

Richard probed the edge of the sea for a long time, hesitating and not moving forward. Sometimes He would make puppets from local materials and let them out, and sometimes He would jump left and right. After repeated experiments, he was finally convinced that there seemed to be no thunder that would suddenly strike him to death.

"This is not a good sign. It feels worse."

"The God of Thunder is not that good-tempered. Did I already scold Him in front of him? If this thunder hadn't turned me into ashes, it would have insulted the name of the 'tyrant'. I have to keep my mouth shut when I indulge in the future." , I’m afraid my life has been blown away like a candle in the wind.”

Richard muttered for a while without any guilt, and finally stood up and walked out of the sea bravely.

Calm and calm.

Golden sun carriages are running around in the sky, wheat ears taller than people are swaying gently, local thunderstorms, local tornadoes, imaginary creations are rampant, the ruins of the God War are calm and peaceful, and Richard can still hear someone in the depths Snoring.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong!"

Richard really felt goosebumps starting to appear on his forearms. He reached out and rubbed his arms and took a breath of air.

His spiritual intuition did not point to any danger, or he was as quiet as usual, but Richard didn't think that the God of Thunder would take exception to his blatant offense - he even chopped him on the spot. Although he was disdainful, he had obviously moved. Murderous intention.

"Tsk."

Richard thought of another thing.

"If I really die because of this incident, will Klein think that I died because I helped him? I have to write him a letter and tell him not to be too surprised, and not to think that it has anything to do with me. Even if Without him, I would have died sooner or later due to various reasons..."

While talking to himself, Richard had already taken out the small notebook he always kept on his body, wrote a few words at random, then tore up the page and threw it into the spiritual world.

Then, he gritted his teeth and entered the spiritual world, quickly heading towards the southern continent from another direction.

TBC

——————

Southern Continent.

Azik Eggers, who was looking at the official document with his eyebrows twisted together, suddenly raised his head and saw a fish-shaped spiritual creature with wings suddenly appeared in front of his desk, spitting out a letter. , and returned to the spiritual world with another flick of his tail.

Azik's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face:

"Kleon wrote to me again."

He picked up Klein's envelope and looked over it several times. He especially liked the special-colored feather affixed to the paint seal. Out of the Balam Empire's worship of the feathered serpent, he carefully tore off the fire seal and opened the envelope without damaging the feathers.

"He is always moving around so energetically and has all kinds of fresh knowledge, but on my side, there is nothing to write about..."

Azik said to himself, thinking of the high suicide rate in the Balam Empire, he had a headache. No matter how hard he tried to pay attention to people's livelihood, it was of no avail, but the Death Church and the Death God were indifferent to this. The special nature of the Balam Empire means that the people do not have much fear of death, so people who have little expectations for the living world will happily surrender to death.

Therefore, in a sense, the current Balam Empire is the first country between the northern and southern continents to achieve slum removal.

If Intis was devastated by the disaster, then in the Balam Empire people committed suicide quietly and died in their own homes.

"I don't know where he went this time and what he gained."

Azik forced himself to forget about the negative state of the country and prepared to reach out for the letter inside.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the light in the room suddenly became darker, and he should light the torch.

"Is it evening?"

Azik didn't take it to heart and glanced at the clock on the wall casually.

Four p.m.

"..."

The Death Archon was stunned for a moment. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the large Balam-style window without glass. He saw that the sky was quickly becoming dark, the white clouds were instantly dyed black, and the whole world changed in ten seconds. Got to be dark.

He saw the coastline receding rapidly.
