"Why?"

Trainor found that he still couldn't understand his father's brain circuits at all, and if the purpose of raising a student for 200 years was just to see the other person die a tragic death, Trainor couldn't accept it, but he couldn't understand why such a weird interest would appear in his own father.

Edward didn't want to talk about these things with the kids who didn't make it to Sequence 2. This child is fragile when he is young, and he is also fragile when he grows up, unable to withstand the indoctrination of secret knowledge, and is prone to violent death.

The gods and the authorities were too complicated for him, and he didn't like to hear these things at all. Just like when he was a child, he pretended to be interested in astronomy and art in order to be close to him, but in fact he didn't like it:

"No why."

"Do you hate Him?"

Trainor couldn't go, but he felt he had to at least ask for a reason.

"If you hate Him, you don't have to bring Him back! I've heard my mother say that Richard was chased and killed by the Indulgence faction and forced to break into the manor, but you chose to bring him back and erase his charges. Are you angry that He has betrayed you repeatedly and even spoken out against him, regardless of his kindness at the time? ”

“…… You know how to hear him, you know him well. Edward was surprised, "Did that kid tell you about Him cursing me to death after last year's Great Smog?" ”

- There really is! Trainor felt her mental endurance blow up along with the cat's fur.

"But it's not because of this that I don't take such a small matter as cursing me to death, on the contrary, I still appreciate Him."

Edward waved his hand and explained:

"It's because He said such things and did such things that I didn't let my expectations fall short and that I had to die myself - I've been looking forward to this day since the day I picked him up, you know?"

“…… I don't understand. It's a little too nasty, Trainor said honestly, "Do all the demons think like you?" ”

"The vast majority of them shouldn't." Edward guessed.

"What about Mother?" Trainor asked, "Although I don't understand why you would expect Richard's death...... Is it because you have lost the fun in your long life and started looking for such a thrill? Then did you look forward to the day of death to your mother and to me? ”

"Have you ever looked forward to seeing us die? We short-lived human beings...... Even if you become a demigod, it's still only a tenth of your life or even less......" The tanuki in his hand began to struggle, as if he was worried that blood would splash on it later, but Trainor held the cat down and said it seriously, "All humans are food for you, so are we more interesting pets, or are we the fun of livening up the atmosphere during meals?" ”

The question made Edward turn his head.

The Decaying King didn't feel the need to take this issue seriously—after all, he had seen so many young lives that Trainor was like a child gambling right now—but Edward Vaughn did need to take it a little more seriously.

But it doesn't need to be taken too seriously.

Edward thought for a moment, "Would you be sad if I said yes?" ”

Trainor froze, his mouth open and tightened, and finally made up his mind to say the most pitiful words with the firmest expression: "Yes." ”

“…… Actually, you don't need to take it too seriously. ”

Edward soothed his eldest son: "Richard is special, unlike you. And you ...... Didn't you think about these things when you realized how long I lived? ”

After skillfully deflecting the contradiction with words, Edward began to speak half-truths and half-truths in his heart:

"To this day, I am still saddened by Adella's death, which is why I want to take you away and prevent death from happening again."

……

While taking the helm, Alger observed the weather and the stars: "The speed of progress is much faster than expected, and when I came, I used mystical magic, but I didn't expect that the way back was also very fast. At this rate, if we continue tonight, we will be able to reach Byam tomorrow afternoon. ”

Daniz immediately stopped: "No, we have to dock once!" These half-giants have exhausted our food reserves! A third of our lunch is made up of fish, don't you notice? ”

…… It's not because you're going to take almost all of the food to people and have a reception on the beach in the first place......

Alger felt that it was no big deal to be hungry for two or three meals, but these people were after all believers in the "fools", and could not wait for them, so he had to say:

"Then dock."

With the power of "Poseidon" driving the seawater, "Poseidon" was able to achieve the same speed as the flagship of "Future". Under the patronage of the "sea god", the sailors who fish are very rewarding. Seeing this, the young people of Silver City and Moon City also learned this technique with great interest, and different varieties of sea fish made the sea flavor on the table even stronger, and the people of the Eastern Continent praised it.

Klein stayed in the cabin, occasionally going out and walking, and did not disturb the pleasure of the people.

As it got dark, they also reached a transit island on the outskirts of the Rorsted Islands.

The island is not big, and there are not many houses to live in. Fortunately, Klein had mastered the use of "miracles", and on the basis of the existing housing materials, it would not be difficult to build a temporary residential area as long as more than 2,000 people made a wish to him.

And there is no need to erase the built construction area, because this will become the second stop of the Eastern Continent to the outside world, and there are still more than 10,000 people waiting to start this journey.

They will be on board the coast of the Eastern Continent, spend a full day sailing on the ship, and then arrive on this small island late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

Ships docked in the harbor one after another, and people walked down one after another. Fortunately, Alger and the others asked the responsible personnel on the island to carry a lot of food in advance, enough for more than 2,000 people from Silver City and Moon City to eat and rest here, and continue to set sail tomorrow afternoon.

Food and meat were quickly brought in and ready to be prepared for barbecue on the beach at night.

Blowing the sea breeze, eating barbecue, drinking and laughing loudly - not only the people and sailors of the Eastern Continent were eager to try, but even Crane couldn't help but recall some things from the old era.

But he had other things to do, but to wait for them to finish their meal, and pray to the "Fool" for a place to live in his own name.

After arranging the affairs of the Eastern Continent, Crane symbolically wrapped his trench coat in the sea breeze and walked into the deep darkness in the distance.

What he's going to do next is actually quite clear, and that is:

Find Kotal, the dark wolf, and take the "curtain" from the "God of Wishes"!

My wish is to get the extraordinary properties of the "Secret Attendant" and the "curtain", and I wonder if he can help me achieve it...... As he walked farther and farther deeper into the island, Crane teased in his heart.

However, Klein is only thinking about it for now, and he doesn't know how to find the trace of this ethereal demon wolf. Perhaps you will have to venture into the Forsaken Lands again to find the relics of faith associated with the God of Wishes, or hope that the Extraordinary Law of Convergence will send Him to you.

But it's obviously impossible for him to go to the Eastern Continent again—haven't you been tossed enough by God?

If you send it to the door again, you will really be completely brainwashed!

Recalling the last battle of life and luck, Klein felt tooth soreness:

This battle seems to be a great victory for them, but in fact, just the temporary manifestation of God's will with the help of the body of the former King of Angels has forced the God of Thunder to take matters into his own hands, the Demon of Knowledge to provide the most restrained God's mysterious recreation scene, and he has the fate of the Lord of Mystery to destroy God's purpose, and he still needs the help of more than one Sequence One.

The Demon of Knowledge was even hostile to the God of Thunder, but still helped.

The two first-echelon gods took matters into their own hands, and only then did they drive back the god whose power was probably around the true god and did not come in person!

"If one day he does return to the earth, mankind and the gods will surely be domesticated by him without any resistance...... Until then, I have to do my best to improve myself as soon as possible...... Oh, if I had failed, lost control, or died before that day, and Amon had become the Lord of Mysteries, then He might have left the earth to avoid God, or even watched all this. After all, he didn't have the slightest memory of this place in the first place. ”

Klein recalled Amon's face for a moment, feeling motivated again.

"So, the next sequence......"

He had learned that the name of the next sequence was "The Secret Waiter", and this was from Medici, when he was shot in the back of the head by Edward Vaughn, and his brains and brains exploded more than the brains of Haidilao.

However, he was resurrected at one last chance, and after he survived, Medici told him the name.

"What the hell, how the hell did Zarathu play the 'Secret Waiter'?"

Klein is now puzzled.

He-he himself, Klein has been numb in "tailor-made" and "fate" again and again, he plays the "fool" with one hand and the "oracle of the fool" with the other just to fulfill the requirements for this path sequence 0 and sequence 1, the "god of wishes" Kotal is obviously unable to play because he can't find the mystery, but how did Zarathu play?

…… He doesn't look like he's in a bad state and on the verge of losing control...... Oh yes, he spent a long time in a secluded town at the top of Hornachis, where there was a "half-fool", could he have stayed there, did he do something, in a sense, surrender and serve?

"Actually, it's easier for the people on the Western Continent to play the role of a secret waiter."

A voice rang in his ears:

"People there often start to worship the statue of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun from a young age, taking turns to make offerings, clean up, sprinkle and sweep, and do things. They could not directly become the attendants of the Lord of Mysteries, so they chose to be the ones who served the Lord of Mysteries. ”

"Western Continent ......"

Crane muttered to himself, then looked up and made eye contact with someone.

Crane's pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly switched places with his secret puppet and arrived at the seashore a few hundred meters away.

"Hey." The Lord of the Blighted unconsciously waved his hand towards the seashore and greeted Crane, "What are you thinking about about promotion?" ”

When he had finished speaking, he spoke again:

"You want to know? However, this is not a mind reading, but I just suddenly noticed that the probability of Kotal being attacked by you has increased. ”

There are three options for Klein's promotion, one is to obtain the characteristics of Pales Zoroasd and become the "Worm of Time", the second is to accept the help of the Demon of Knowledge and become the "Gate", and the third is to get the "Veil" and continue to advance in this path.

Option one, as long as Klein's brain is not broken, he can't do this kind of thing for fear of his own life.

What Amon needs most now is this extraordinary characteristic, and with the control of Amon from the Source Castle over this path, if Klein takes the "Time Worm", he will be promoted one second, and the next second he will wear monocles.

Option 2 is made more likely by the Demon of Knowledge, because with His help, it will not be too difficult to become a "door" in a good state of mind.

Option 3 is second only to option 2, and it is not unlikely that Crane will capture the "Curtain", but the problem is that the characteristics of the "Secret Attendant" are uneven, and one of them has been taken away by half of his body, and it is impossible to go forward on this path, and it will also attract the attention of Amon - it is just a compromise option that Klein can't accept the help of the Demon of Knowledge for the time being, and can't stop.

So, when the possibility of Kotal losing the "curtain" increased, the Lord of the Blighted easily judged Klein's thoughts.

Probability...... What kind of authority is this? Crane thought for a moment, and cautiously asked the incarnation of this high-ranking person who had no clear meaning from the God's Forsaken Land, "Is this a prophecy?" Prophecy of fate? ”

"You'll probably find out later."

That's not the purpose He came with today, He has a real purpose.

Isn't it just to see what kind of changes this hard-to-observe "variable" and "immature destiny marker" will bring to the development of the world?

"If you'd like to track down Kotal, the dark wolf, then I can give you some information." The Lord of Withers said with a smile.

In just a few months, Kotal would appear around Moon City. The exact date is uncertain, but He will certainly be around there.

Crane shook his head cautiously, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Unexplained gifts and great beings are growing, and Crane has learned to skillfully refuse.

"Don't worry."

The smile on the Blighted Lord's face was still the same: "I just need you to help me do one thing, and you should probably be willing to do it...... Richard Ernst, this boy is my favorite, a student I raised single-handedly, so I want you to save him. ”

"He just saved you, so I want you to save Him, you shouldn't refuse, right?"

Before Crane could say a word of rejection, the Lord of the Withers finished all his words in one go. When Crane heard this, he looked as surprised as he had seen it, and then quickly frowned.

"God of Thunder?" Crane nervously asked, "Does He want to kill Mr. Richard?" ”

How is this going to be good...... Klein thought quickly, but didn't have a clue for a moment.

"Yes."

The Lord of Withers nodded: "In short, he is now facing the attack of the God of Thunder and his church, as well as the attack of the Night Church, and his life is about to be in danger, if he dies I will be very sad, as soon as I am sad, I want to break the continent and eat it as a cookie, so if you don't want the northern continent and the southern continent to become small cookies, hurry up and find a way to save my unworthy disciple." ”

Crane froze.

——————

Klein suddenly thought of something, staring at the unidentified god incarnation in front of him, his voice raised a lot, with disbelief:

"No, you're an outer god?"

"You're Edward, no, the King of Decay?"

"You're schizophrenic?"

The Lord of the Withers scratched the corpse spots that had just emerged on his face, but he, who thought he was closer to the "teacher", was not angry, and after two seconds of silence, he generously admitted it.

"Yes, I'm schizophrenic."

"I've been separated from my essentia for too long, and I'm mentally out of order, it's all caused by you who break the earth, and you're really harmful!"
