Chapter 17: Amon's Speculation
In the ancient palace above the gray fog, Creon the "World" and Abner the "Tower" had a small meeting again.
"Congratulations on becoming an 'Ancient Scholar' and one step closer to Mr. 'Fool'." Abner, who had only come here with a "discerning eye", smiled and congratulated.
"Maybe it's not a good thing...... "Crane, who had just finished researching the new features of the "Source Fort", rubbed the corners of his forehead and asked casually, "I'm now in Sequence 3, and the matter of exploring the small island at the junction of the 'Misty Sea' and the 'Polar Sea' mentioned earlier should be on the agenda, right?"
"If that really helps to free Lao Huang, we don't need to risk ruining George III's rituals again."
Hearing his words, Abner shook his head and said, "I haven't been able to get the 'Abyss' card on my side, and Bernadette's process of getting the 'Dark' card has not been smooth, and I haven't been able to get it yet...... And the goddess didn't give away the 'Fool' card.
"So, I'm afraid it's not the time yet, or rather, it's not ripe."
"I ......see," Crane bowed slightly, no longer dwelling on the question, and instead asked, "You know the recipe for the 'Miracle Master', right?" ”
After all, Alvin Abraham is the "miracle master".
"Know...... But what are you going to trade it for? After all, Mr. Fool adheres to the principle of 'equivalent exchange'. Abner smiled playfully and glanced up and down the "world" as if to assess what he could pay for.
"What do you want me to do?" Crane is very "single" authentic.
"You're pretty good at pretending to be someone else, aren't you?" Abner asked, touching his chin.
"Who do you want me to play?" Crane's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that Abner didn't hold back his fart.
Abner glanced at him and said with a smile, "I want you to be Her Majesty the Empress of Vrsak for a few days." ”
Then, without waiting for Crane to refuse, he added, "Don't worry, I'll let Sophia II give her a detailed list of her own habits and relationships, and I won't let you go in her place unprepared." ”
"What the hell do you want to do?" Crane couldn't help but ask.
"I want to take Her Majesty out for a few days and train her how to 'tolerate' ......," said Abner, who briefly recounted how he had "dominated" Sophia before.
"No matter how you look at it, you're very evil!" Crane complained about Abner's behavior, and instead asked, "Since you ruled over the Empress, didn't you let her stop the war against Rune?" ”
"Do you think this is something that an empress can do? Starting a war was the idea of most of the nobles of the Church and Vrsack, and they certainly wouldn't mind changing an empress if they did everything they could to stop it. Abner paused at this point, then sighed and said, "You should understand that even if you exclude the factors of the gods and the angelic family, this is the inevitable development of history to this stage.
"Adam is standing on the general trend of history, so it will seem unstoppable."
"yes...... I'm just still holding some fantasies......" Crane sighed with emotion, then his eyes became firm, and he nodded, "I took this task...... When are you going to let me impersonate the Empress? ”
"Don't worry, the empress is still 'winter hunting', and she will talk about it when she returns to the Ormir Palace...... In addition, during this time, I will ask her to record some videos of her daily life and use them for your reference. Abner said with a smile.
Crane looked at the other party's smiling face, and said angrily: "I always feel that you actually have a way to make the empress be picked up without any flaws, and you don't need me to play the ...... at all."
"But it's safer to have you." Abner said this, again seriously, "And it's actually helping you strengthen your humanity...... What a 'profound' experience! ”
Crane glanced at him speechlessly, didn't even bother to complain, and directly changed the topic: "After the 'Hanged Man' obtained the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Demon Hunter', he has already exchanged the 'Fallen Flute' with the little 'Sun', and now he is waiting for your extraordinary characteristics of the 'Lord of Calamity'." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll go and exchange for the 'Scourge Queen'." Abner bowed slightly.
"In addition, as a price for asking me and the 'Hermit' lady to help, the 'Hanged Man' has already told us the coordinates of the old yellow ruins he found......
"Well, Lady Hermit and I decided to explore tonight, are you interested?" Crane asked.
Abner waved his hand and said, "I know the ruins, so there's no need to go...... You should be able to get some out of it, but be careful. ”
The "Sick Lieutenant General" Tracy had already reported the ruin, and although Abner hadn't been there, he had heard about what that place was all about from the "Golden Saintess" Signacia, so he wasn't interested.
- "Golden Holy Maiden" Signacia, as the "Holy Seal" of the three artifacts, has been by Russell's side for a long time, and is very clear about many of his arrangements in his later years.
And after Abner recovered his body, the "Golden Maiden" became very cooperative with his inquiries.
"What's there?" Crane asked curiously.
"That's where Lao Huang suppressed the 'Dragon Ball' he created!" Abner replied with a smile.
"Dragon Ball ......" Crane couldn't help but jump a few times out of the corner of his eyes when he heard this word, because he suddenly recalled a page of Russell's diary about "Dragon Ball" that he had read:
"On July 8th, inspired by the 'Wishing Lamp' and the 'Goddess of Pond Water', I wanted to give it a try.
"The content of the attempt is to use the authority of the 'Emperor of Knowledge' to write and empower the story of the 'Wishing Type...... See if you can achieve the purpose of resurrection......
"For example, I decided to create seven dragon balls first, and then 'write' the knowledge of 'Dragon Balls' into the 'information base' of this world, so that I can reproduce the abilities of 'divine dragons'.
"Well, I can do it when I think of it, I want to make the Dragon Ball first.
"On July 10th, Dragon Ball was successfully created, and the relevant 'knowledge' was temporarily added to the world's 'information base' and spread in a small area in some places.
"On the twelfth of July, it failed...... Sure enough, it still doesn't work, and the process of relying on the 'Dragon Ball' to summon the 'Divine Dragon' is smooth, but the people who are 'resurrected' are still either monsters or empty shells......
"On August 1st, I was not in the right state before, and I threw aside the 'Dragon Ball' I created after I failed to make a wish...... As a result, it wasn't until I regained my 'sobriety' today that I realized that the sequelae of these things were a bit big......
"Unlike the anime of the previous life, the dragon ball I made did not turn into stone after making a wish, but was directly integrated into the body of the 'wisher' and was born with the child of the 'wisher'......
"Yes, it doesn't matter if the 'wisher' is male or female, and whether or not the 'wisher' has acted in that way after making the wish, she will become pregnant...... And directly pregnant with seven ......
And a child born in this way can only live to be eighteen years old...... When they reach adulthood, they die and become a new 'Dragon Ball'.
"What is this? Is there a hybrid version of Dragon Ball and Seven Gourd Babies for the evil gods?
"Fortunately, I made a wish with a 'mechanical clone', but even so, that clone was pregnant......
"How can something I build have such a terrible negative effect?
"Such wicked things must be destroyed! Destroy! ”
Thinking of this, Crane couldn't help but feel cold again, feeling that this thing was too bad for the traverser after Lao Huang, who would have thought that he would conceive a child if he made a wish!
"However, I remember that Lao Huang didn't say that they were destroyed? How did it turn into repression? Crane asked.
"It's simple...... Because it can't be destroyed!
"When Russell built them, he borrowed some of the power of 'rules', and as long as someone knows how to summon the 'Divine Dragon', they can be reborn." Abner felt that it was likely that some "Black Emperor" power had been added to this, and Lao Huang should have been in charge of the "Black Emperor" uniqueness at that time.
"In that case, why don't you let those 'Dragon Balls' continue to be sealed?" Crane thought about it for a moment, and retreated in his heart.
Abner shook his head again and said, "Since Mr. 'Hanged Man' was able to find that ruin, it means that the seal has been loosened...... If left untreated, it could lead to even worse consequences......
"And, I have a hunch that it is more beneficial for you to have that thing in your hands...... What are the results of your divination? ”
"As you had a hunch." Crane was silent for a few seconds before sighing, "Looks like we're going to have to take a risk......"
"If you don't make a wish, it's not a big problem." Abner relieved him.
……
In the North District, on a street, a girl with blonde hair and a shawl, an umbrella, and monocles is sitting in a single room in a café.
She held a pen in one hand, and while thinking seriously, she pinched the monocle with the other, and finally put down the pen and wrote down a sentence after a long time:
】
"The Scroller of the Spirit Realm and the Source Castle ......"
Then, the pen froze again, not yet as if it had yet to figure out what to do next.
Just then, Abner pushed the door open and walked in, unceremoniously sitting across from her.
"What do you think the second sentence will be?" The girl raised her head and asked with a smile.
"Even if I guessed, I wouldn't tell you that it's not an ally's obligation." Abner glanced at the contents of the paper and shook his head.
"I can tell from your answer that you do know the second sentence, or even the third sentence." Amon narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Do you want me to have a conflict between Parles and the royal family of Rune, contain Zarathu, protect it, or monopolize the secret of the 'Fool'?" ”
"Guess what...... Can you let go of Parles? Abner asked with a smile.
"You know me well...... Oh, Zarathu seems to be chasing Palles, but in fact he has some kind of tacit understanding with the other party, maybe a trap dug for me. "But I find it very interesting, and I wonder where Zarathu got the courage to calculate me...... Who is standing behind her? ”
