The East Continent Riviera.

Alger boarded the Future on time and found Gardelia the Hermit seated, while Derick "The Sun" followed him, cautiously walking up the Starlight Bridge.

And the "world" Gelman, who offered to have a small meeting, was not here yet, nor was he in the crowd at the banquet.

"Hello, Ms. Hermit!" As soon as Daerik came up, he took the initiative to greet him, acting a little reserved. Although I have seen him many times at the Tarot meeting, Mr. "The Hanged Man" gets along with him more than the serious and somewhat unfamiliar "Hermit".

"Hello, 'Sun'."

Gardelia smiled and pushed her glasses: "You are welcome to be a guest on the Future, and the same is true for Mr. 'Hanged Man'. ”

After greeting him, Darik's eyes were attracted by the various facilities and equipment on the ship, looking at the sails, winches and sides of the ship, revealing "I really want to touch" and "I really want to take a closer look".

"Long time no see."

Alger nodded, looking for other mechanical equipment, but to no avail: "Hasn't the 'world' come yet?" ”

"Not yet."

What is the matter with this divine servant?

Just as Alger pondered the possible direction of the "world" at a moment's notice, Cordelia spoke:

"Mr. Gelman has not yet come. Do you want to go to my captain's room and wait together, or do you just say a few words here? ”

The feast wasn't over yet, there were no moving crew members on deck, and not many people noticed the three of them meeting on deck. Alger wanted to just say it on deck, but he wondered how much magical technology like the giant metal man was hidden on the Future. As a captain, it's an instinctive desire to have a better and safer boat.

On the other hand, Alger was concerned that these genera were not classified by the Church, and that Cordelia would let him visit them.

He glanced at Darek, hoping that the young man from the Eastern Continent who had never seen a ship would help him open the hole. He turned his head, just in time to meet Darek's eyes.

Alger looked at Darek and winked at Gadelia.

Darek thought for a moment and suddenly realized, then turned his head and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Excuse me, respected lady 'Hermit', this is the first time I have seen such a large wooden building, excuse me, can I look around this ship?" ”

Gadelia pursed her lips, a subtle hint of pride on her face.

"Absolutely." She said reservedly.

"The two of you can walk around the future as you like, except for the power system at the bottom of the cabin, you can visit everywhere else......"

The powertrain is not allowed to be visited? Alger keenly sensed that Gardelia was saying something, and an uncontrollable sense of anxiety rose in his heart: why was it not allowed to visit the powertrain? Could it be that the Church of the Mystery has found a source of energy other than steam power?

How can you have such a ship, such equipment?

Resisting the envy in his heart, Alger followed Gardelia and toured the deck and cabins with Darik.

……

After a strong onslaught of knowledge, Klein felt like he had fully understood everything.

"So, the old days of the 'Children of Chaos', the 'arbiter' and the 'lawyer', are the kingdom of Rune, nay, the emperor of the empire, who is not completely dead, but also not completely resurrected George Augustus III."

Crane spoke a little numbly.

The demon of knowledge nodded, "Yes." ”

“…… Okay, and the other old 'Fallen King' is the 'Abyss Angel' who has been cooperating with the Aurora Society, and is also the current Sequence 0 of the 'Demon' and 'Prisoner', Edward Vaughn. The humanoid creature I've seen before is actually His true form. ”

Crane's expression distorted slightly.

"Not exactly, His 'prisoner' uniqueness has been lost, and the whereabouts of the uniqueness have been concealed." The Demon of Knowledge said, "He must have teamed up with someone. However, there is no direct conflict between Him and me, and I will not focus on this small matter. ”

There was indeed a person named Mr. Edward, who was screened by the Source Fort because of an old pendulum, and stayed with me on the Source Fort waiting for a certain release? He also once existed, and then he died and became the skin of an outer god, a layer of human skin......

Then the outer god walked on the earth openly in this human skin for more than an epoch, and only discovered the identity of the outer god more than half a year ago - but these are all known by the top people in the extraordinary world, and it has nothing to do with me.

Klein was silent for a while, feeling the stinging pain from the "Spirit Worm" on his body even more obvious.

The despair and horror of the two deaths are still vivid, and Klein really can't let go of this fear together. Now that he knows that the other party is the incarnation of an external god, he will not feel half a point of relaxation, but his mood will be heavier.

After a moment, he sighed and turned his head to look at the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm, who were sitting or standing, keeping a distance from himself and the demon of knowledge.

"You can name the names of 'essentia' and 'old days', and they are also special beings closely related to the spirit world, so you really know 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun', or 'Lord of Mystery'?"

He translated the title in Elvish.

Qiguang was silent for a moment, looked at each other, and no one answered for a short time.

After a few seconds, "Orange Light" Hilarion sighed:

"Even now that you have lost the favor of the Source Castle, we still can't be sure if you are equal to Him."

"He is the 'old days' that were active from the end of the last civilization to the middle of the First Age, and what we call 'the Great Lord above the spiritual realm.'"

"'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' is his title in the Western Continent, and his other titles are: 'King of Time and Space', 'Dao Beacon of Destiny', 'Source Castle Incarnation', 'Spirit Dominator'...... All kinds of great names belong to Him, and the 'Source Fort' symbolizes His existence. ”

Hilarion spoke in great detail, and his eyes drifted to the demon of knowledge from time to time, like a student worried that his answers were not detailed enough.

"And that's not all."

After closing his eyes and listening to the answer of "Orange Light", the demon of knowledge added nonchalantly:

"The 'old days' are indeed the highest rank of the gods, and the old days are also symbolically divided into strong and weak. As you can see, the 'Sea of Chaos', which creates everything, is omniscient and omnipotent, the 'Source Fortress', which symbolizes time and space, and the 'Mother Nest', which gives birth to all things, are the basic elements that make up the universe, and therefore, God, Mystery, and Mother Goddess are the 'pillars' of the old days, the universe. ”

Speaking of this, the demon of knowledge looked at Klein and said solemnly:

"I hate God, and the secret can fight against it, so I choose to help you, not because I have any affection for the secret. That's just my position, just as the Children of Chaos and the Fallen Monarch also tried to kill Mystery. ”

The Three Pillars, God also said, the first creation of the universe was the use of His authority and that of the Lord of Mysteries, and then the symbol of the creation of life, fertility and reproduction is the "Fallen Mother Goddess"? The three most powerful pillars that make up the universe......

After hearing this, Klein sighed again in his heart, and he was much calmer on the surface.

And so it was. I didn't understand the layers of the 'old days' and wondered why Edward Vaughn ...... Or that the declining king of the outer gods is so obsessed with putting me to death, and if my future is only a true God, even if it is a true God in multiple ways, why does He need to do this to me, I understand a lot now. ”

The demon of knowledge clasped his hands, he had no idea or emotion about Klein's feelings, and he didn't want to be as kind to Klein as he was to the "Seven Lights" or his own followers, who were fellow scholars:

"In fact, after the true Creator insisted on bringing God back, His murderous intent towards you has diminished considerably. You have made the right choice to give the 'Source Castle' to the Angel of Time in the face of His pursuit, and now, in His eyes, you are behind Amun. ”

Because God will take the initiative to curb the birth of mysteries...... Looking back on his experience, Klein is sure.

"Although he can't see the Source Fort, he will occasionally use his authority to interfere with Amun's pursuit of Paris, otherwise, with the God of Thunder, a god who is not connected to the essentia, a church, and a few angels, he will not be able to stop Amun's harassment and attack."

"I came to see you to cooperate, and he doesn't mind seeing you, but you probably hate each other, and it's better for one of them to die later."

The Demon of Knowledge spoke in astonishment, and at this point, he also paused, and met Crane with those deep purple eyes.

"Let me remind you once again of my purpose for helping you."

"One of them is to help me deal with the God of Thunder. Even if you don't deal with Him, you can't help Him. ”

"I don't care about the sunk cost, the help I give my hands on and the extraordinary traits of a miracle master, nor do I want to gain the favor of the future Lord of Mysteries, I just want to achieve my purpose. If you refuse to help me, I will also give up helping you and ask for the 'door'. ”

Klein was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to clench his pants with both hands under the oppression of an old day, but he only flicked slightly twice under his control, and did not show too much emotion.

This is a rather difficult choice for Klein, whether public or private, the god of thunder helped him and saved his life, and he should repay the favor. But the demon of knowledge also saved his own life, and the two gods were almost indistinguishable in Klein's heart, and if they were to go to war first, whether it was between gods or countries, Crane would not be able to make a choice immediately.

The words of the demon of knowledge made him a little difficult to answer for a moment, so he had to be silent and wait for the following.

"You can think about it."

The Demon of Knowledge didn't need Crane's answer urgently, as he had more than one plan for dealing with the God of Thunder, and he was sure he was capable of doing it. Preventing Klein from helping is just a matter of reducing the variables and confirming that he can get the insurance.

There are many ways to deal with the God of Thunder, and there is more than one candidate for the Lord of Mysteries.

Bethel Abraham's attitude was one of refusal, but he could ignore his ideas and forcibly drag him back to earth through rituals;

Klein Moretti is currently the best candidate, but he is bound by his own morals and is indecisive;

Stella Charathu lost a Sequence One, and seemed to be on the same starting line as Klein, but in fact he had fallen behind;

Palles Zoroaster's attitude is not clear, and the "dark wolf" Kotal has even deviated a little from even playing the "miracle master", as for the "half-fool" Antigonus who sleeps on the top of the main peak of the Honakis Mountains......

He has been half-out of control since the Fourth Age, and when he wakes up, he is probably the Lord of Mysteries.

Although the Demon of Knowledge does not mind the Lord of Mysteries having a blunt attitude towards him, he does not want to be the first victim.

If it weren't for this, the Demon of Knowledge would even be willing to use the "Knowledge Wilderness" to communicate with the Source Castle and go up and talk to the Angel of Time - it's a pity that this person has little credibility with strangers, and his reputation among the high sequences is not very good.

The air in the living room stagnated for a while, and the seven lights didn't dare to speak when they didn't speak, leaving Klein alone to think.

He immediately thought of a question and hesitated:

"In His eyes, Amon is ahead of me, so why does God recognize me as a mystery, and Amon holds the Source Castle when it is clear that Amun holds it?"

"I don't want to know what God thinks."

The Demon of Knowledge spoke:

"But you can think of His actions as an identification, a cause and effect."

Klein was also a little embarrassed by his blunt change of topic, but he couldn't give any answer or promise at all now, and still asked:

"How much do you know about the old days beyond Earth? As far as I know, in the old era, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun has already appeared, and God also has a corresponding parish, so have these old gods also played some role in mythology? ”

The stagnant atmosphere eased somewhat, and after the seven lights looked at each other, the "yellow light" Venitan, who was thin and translucent like other spirit creatures, sighed and said:

"We don't know this, when the last civilization ended, the 'first' woke up, the previous seven lights had been erased, and we were the pure light that was re-conceived in the spirit realm in the First Age.

"However, we have a certain guess, which may answer your questions, Your Highness."

Klein perked up and immediately assumed a posture of listening intently.

"Yellowlight" Venetam continued:

"We suspect that the 'old days' who were active in the First Age were partly sucked directly into the outer gods on this planet, and partly were activated by those essentia, that is, some of the 'old days' were equal to the 'primitive', the materialization of the different personalities that he had split from.

"Whatever is separated must be aggregated, and whatever is aggregated must be separated, describing not only extraordinary properties, but also referring to the 'primordial' itself, because most of the essentia and properties come from this supreme being, so there is a natural tendency to converge and reunite, and the 'primitive' is the aggregate of all the contradictions in the universe, and the essentia and properties will be irresistibly divided after they are gathered."

Is this the essence and root of the law of extraordinary property aggregation? The outer gods were attracted to essentia and those pathways on Earth? A reasonable guess can explain a lot of my doubts...... Klein suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

He looked at the demon of knowledge, and after a moment's deliberation, he said:

"If the outer gods are attracted because of their essentia and extraordinary properties, then what does the Western Continent, which preserves all essentia, think about this?"

The demon of knowledge who closed his eyes opened one eye and answered the question simply.

"We're basically awake and have our own will."

"There are those who identify with their followers and are willing to stay on Earth, and there are those who are not willing to stay here or be integrated by their compatriots from outside the world, and they are trying to find a way to gain power from your side in case they find an opportunity to leave in the future."

Klein realized: "...... The city of calamity that has eroded Bansey? ”

"He's aggressive, and he doesn't mind making a fuss on your side or in the stars." The Demon of Knowledge said, "There are other people who have similar thoughts to me, and they don't mind keeping them, but they prefer to return to the universe and the starry sky." ”

"In general, we are of the same origin as the outside, and you can expect us to have a different position internally, so that you can find allies and protect humanity, but don't expect us to fight each other for any reason, and the earth and humanity will enjoy the benefits of fishermen."

Hearing this oriental allusion, Klein suddenly wanted to laugh. He then raised his right hand, brought it to his mouth, and coughed lightly:

"I guess I understand."

"I'll consider it carefully and get back to you as soon as possible."

The demon of knowledge casually responded, stood up, and then disappeared directly into a torrent of data with his wooden chair.

Seeing that he was gone, and that he had finished talking to Seven Lights about other issues, Klein stood up and saluted:

"Thank you for your answer."

"It is our honor that our Highness may return to the throne of the 'Great Lord above the Spirit Realm' as soon as possible." Seven Lights stood up at the same time, responding with a gentle attitude.

Is this cursing me to death? Klein teased himself and politely sent away the seven pure rays.

Then, he turned on the "teleportation" again and returned to the seashore of the Eastern Continent.

The first thing that catches your eye is the tall inhabitants of the Eastern Continent.

Eating together was the best way to socialize, and most of them had already formed friendships with the crews of both ships.

At this moment, the feast is over, and people help each other clean up the pieces.

He saw the tall half-giants laughing heartily, and with one hand he lifted two stacked four-meter-long wooden tables, and the pirate crews around him whistled and applauded;

He saw teams of people busily packing away the remaining food for the long voyage;

He saw some people fishing on the seashore, casting nets and diving with harpoons, trying to teach the half-giants how to swim only but found that the sea water was only up to their waists, and it was bustling with people;

He also saw that some people hurried past him with tools in hand, joining the metal giants in the finishing work of repairing the improvised docks, carrying the surrounding debris, and more people gathered together, talking loudly about the rest of life, and the delicious ......

And Frank, who had been in high spirits since his arrival, seemed to be recognized at last, and the people of Silver City and Moon City sang ancient poems of praise for the harvest and food around him, lifted him up, tossed him high and caught him, and laughter spread throughout the coast.

Although the people were poorly dressed and had experienced countless battles and partings, the vitality that burst out of their bodies at this moment seemed to be intertwined into a ray of hope in front of Klein's eyes, tenaciously overflowing with the vigor of life.

They are like plants that have been given rain, dew and sunlight and are struggling to grow.

Klein slowed his pace and gazed deeply at the lively scene.

"Ah, Mr. 'World'!"

At that moment, he heard a shout from above, and Crane looked up, only to see Derrick standing on the side of the Future, waving at him, and Alger and Gadelia were standing to his left and right, looking unusually tall.

Klein also waved his hand, indicating that he would be coming soon.

The heads of the three of them retracted back and forth, and Crane slowly stopped waving his hand, looking at the clear sky on the ship, listening to the noisy and lively songs in his ears, as if he was infected, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
