In the face of Bernadette's question, Abner explained simply:

"He, the 'Machine King, Lucien Evans, has become, in a sense, my doppelganger.

"This kind of 'mechanical clone,' I don't think you're unfamiliar with."

Hearing this, Bernadette nodded thoughtfully.

As Abner said, she is very familiar with the high-order ability of the "generalist" pathway, after all, her father and brother are "knowledge mentors".

However, it was precisely because of this understanding that she was misled by Abner's few "true" words, thinking that the other party was using "characteristics" to "upgrade" the magical items left by the "Morning Star City", the "Machine Emperor", and then relied on some kind of "secret art" to mobilize the power of the "Knowledge Mentor" to make the clone in front of him.

As for the purpose, Bernadette felt that the other party seemed to be pretending to be the "Emperor of the Machines" from the beginning, and now he was just trying to make things real.

Although Bernadette would not do it herself, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with Abner's behavior.

It is better to have him occupy this faith than to breed an "evil god".

The Hidden Sage is an example.

In short, Bernadette never thought that the "Emperor of the Machines" was really Abner.

After introducing the "Emperor of Machines" to the "Mysterious Queen", Abner changed his tone and asked with a smile, "When are you going to go to the Observer Castle?"

Taking Bernadette to the "Castle of the Observer" was agreed in advance in exchange for her blood.

Bernadette thought for a moment, then said softly, "I still need some preparation...... And because I've been in the city for a while, I'm going to have to follow up on what I mentioned earlier, 'Dark, card clues.'"

"Well, I'll write to you when I'm ready."

The so-called "Observer's Castle" is actually my home...... What else do I need to prepare to go to my house? Abner muttered a few words secretly, but responded with a smile on the surface, "No problem."

After a pause, he continued, "I have already forwarded the rest of Russell's journal to 'Fool, sir, he accepts your sincerity, but for the sake of 'exchange of value, you can still let Gadelia ask him questions.'"

Hearing this, Bernadette bowed her head slightly, did not reply, and then she lifted her skirt and saluted Abner, and then her figure suddenly became transparent and turned into a pile of foam.

The bubble spreads and flies, fleetingly.

It wasn't until she was gone for a while that Abner touched his chin and muttered to himself; "How do you feel that this 'mysterious queen' looks at me a little awkward and complicated......?"

……

Built on the mountain, divided into the upper, middle and lower classes in the afternoon town, in the camp established by Silver City.

Derick Berg clasped his hands in front of his mouth and whispered:

"Fools who don't belong to this age......

When he had finished his prayer, he stood up, picked up the ancient cross, covered with patina and spikes, and walked outside to the campfire.

During the gathering of the Silver City exploration team, Crane, who was in Beckland, had already come to the gray mist, picked up the "Poseidon Scepter", and with the help of the expansion and contraction of one of the crimson stars, he saw the situation in the afternoon town and expanded his vision to the "Giant Court".

As his gaze shifted, a brilliant but low twilight gradually reflected in Crane's eyes.

Dusk freezes over a complex of palaces, towers, and majestic walls, all of which are magnificent, like miracles of myth and legend, and which have stood still in the course of time.

"Giant's Court"!

Klein tried to zoom in, but found himself unable to see what was going on beneath the dusk.

It is worthy of the kingdom of the ancient gods, and it is not the kind that is abandoned and hidden...... It's no wonder that the kings of angels chose this place for their secret gatherings...... I hope that the prayers of the little "sun" after entering the "Giant's Court" area will help me see more clearly...... Klein if there is

He nodded thoughtfully.

He also turned some of his attention to the "shepherd" elder Lovia, who discovered that the lady was doing the same thing as Derrick – praying.

Seeing this, Crane's expression instantly became solemn.

Although he saw nothing through his "true vision", he could vaguely perceive that gaze was being cast from a distant place, so much so that it interfered with his observation, causing the clarity and scope to be diminished.

Plus, that gaze gave Klein a strange sense of familiarity.

It's hard to be familiar with it, but the first half of my life after I crossed over was dealing with Him—His Son, His Messenger, His Dependents, His Remnants, His Crazy Whispers, His frescoes...... At this moment, Crane was completely sure that it was the "True Creator" who began to look at the Silver City exploration team.

Frankly, when Lovia began to recite that person's honorific name, Crane was tempted to give her a "lightning storm" to eliminate the problem before it appeared, but he resisted the urge to do so.

Because Abner had said that Elder Lovia might not have really betrayed Silver City, and that it was against his own principles to kill her after all.

Second, he was not sure that he would be able to kill this "shepherd" with one blow.

And once the "Fool" can't simply kill Lovia lightly, then in the eyes of the "Demon Hunter" Colin, it will be timid.

With this in mind, Crane set his eyes on the tallest and simple-looking cyclops in the team.

"This is the guide that Abner sent to Silver City, right? I remember it was called Grossell...... Hey? Why did he look embarrassed? Wait a minute...... In his hand was ......'Can of wolffish,'"

Crane's face grew odd and he apologized to the giant instead of Sharon.

Soon, however, he saw that the giant was also silently praying, and the name recited in his mouth seemed to point to ...... Abner?

Immediately afterward, a light invisible to the naked eye enveloped the canned wolffish, which seemed to change some of its physical properties slightly...... In short, the giant Grossell, after praying, stopped resisting the taste of the wolffish and ate it in large gulps.

Seeing this scene, Klein couldn't help but think about a question:

himself, the "real creator", and Abner are like melon-eating netizens watching the same live broadcast......

Now that Abner has "rewarded", if I "reward" again, will the "True Creator" "reward" more?

Also, in places I can't notice, are there other "netizens" watching the live broadcast?

Klein uses a teasing spit to ease the tension and worry caused by the "real creator's" gaze.

That is a true god, neither Adam nor Amun, who is worthy of him!

"If only the 'true creator was also a goddess, then Lao Liu could be sent out to deal with him!'"

After a while, in Chief Colin. Led by the Iliad and guided by the giant Grossell, a nine-member exploration team consisting of Derick Berg left the afternoon town camp and walked along the stairs paved with gray stone towards the summit among the towering and gloomy buildings.

……

In "Grossell's Travels", Abner asked the "Machine Emperor" to use "alchemy" to change the fermentation effect of the wolffish in the air, so that it still kept fresh, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Then, together with Alvin and the statue clone of the "Emperor of the Machines", he entered the "City of Miracles" in the deepest part of the travelogue dream.

Soon, the "trio" crossed the "Hall of Honesty" and entered the passage behind the throne, and finally reached the inverted tower that connected the heavens and the earth, and the bottom reached the "spiritual sky".

"Dream Labyrinth Tower"!
