303 times in the future

There was nothing unusual in the tower, but a flock of crows had gathered in the town hall, and Merlen was startled when she broke in.

He was very quick to deal with a single crow, but if a group of extremely fast little things were charging at him, he needed to avoid the edge for a while.

Fortunately, he found that the birds had no intelligence to speak of, and had an unusually strong desire for meat.

So he used the carcass of the crow at the beginning, and gradually lured and divided, but the number of crows quickly decreased, and finally it was completely wiped out.

Under the feathers of the birds, he finally saw a sarcophagus stored in the center of the town hall, which had been hidden by the crows.

The sarcophagus is gray and ancient, with a rough surface and unsmoothed edges and bumps.

After pushing it away, a white jade skeleton holding a sword in both hands came into view.

The skull wears a golden crown and a gold pendant on its chest, which rests on its hands in front of it, and also wears several beautiful rings that appear to be pure gold.

At first glance, it has a nouveau riche temperament.

However, a closer look at the skeleton's slender bones in some parts of the skeleton revealed that it might be a woman.

"In a small town, a very simple sarcophagus is used to house a queen?"

The current situation is like this, and it seems weird.

However, considering that this town is his "original birthplace", it is understandable that there is something special.

Yet, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Mother in the mouth of the Holy Spirit.

Holding the cold, hard edge of the sarcophagus, he looked inward for a while to carefully observe the very delicate-looking white jade skeleton.

Mellen then tried to remove its jewels and crown, only to find that they shattered at the touch of a touch, dissipating into a mist that did not even fall into the dust.

"It's weird......"

Gently touching the skeleton's pure and transparent ribs like jade, the feeling of his hand was quite warm and smooth, making him squint.

The abnormality of the simple hand feeling is nothing, and what surprised Melen was that with this kind of movement, he actually faintly felt that the skeleton in the sarcophagus seemed to be shy......

It doesn't make sense, because no matter how you look at it, it's a dead thing.

However, Mellen did not believe that this was her own delusion.

After a few attempts, he gradually determined that the skeleton was "alive".

Or rather, in a half-dead state.

"It's not like it's the mother of the Holy Spirit."

Although this is the purpose of entering this world, Mellen does not think that he will find his purpose so easily.

And although this skeleton looks peculiar, judging from some details in the sarcophagus, it can't match the kingdom of heaven at all.

Of course, whether it is or not, it is impossible to see from the outside.

It's a pity that after pondering for a long time, he didn't find a way to communicate with the skeleton, let alone find any special clues.

So Mellen's attention shifted to other things around her.

In the town hall, in addition to this sarcophagus, there are several clerical tables, which look quite complete except for the rather dirty ones that are stuck with bird feces and bird feathers.

Pulling out the drawer of the desk, some of the papers inside lifted Mellen's spirits.

When I took it out and looked closely, I was even more shocked.

These documents themselves are nothing, just plans and drawings related to the construction of the city.

However, the time marked on it made him have to think about it more.

October 4 - November 7, 1927 in the new calendar.

The file is not single, and the time on it also fluctuates, but this format corresponds to reality!

Mellen remembers very well that the day he entered Fort Saint Grant was August 1864 in the new calendar!

"Is this the future?"

The thought arose to him.

Before the psychic entered this place, Meren only suspected that he had entered another world, or simply a special small plane.

But this unit of time ......

There are no more clues for the time being, and Mellen is not sure of the exact situation.

Looking through the documents, apart from the time, the only thing left was the name of the town - the town of Vernal.

With the unfamiliar name in mind, Mellen went back and forth to the upper and lower floors of the town hall, as well as the surrounding buildings and inside and out.

The results don't tell you much more than to get to know the town better.

So he prepares to leave, to find out if this place exists.

But before leaving, Meren had a thought, returned to the sarcophagus, and said to the white jade skeleton inside: "I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you next time." ”

As the words fell, a sense of reluctance and sadness faintly emerged from the skeleton, making him even more surprised.

But that didn't affect his decision.

After patting the skeleton's head lightly, Mellen's mind moved, and the world around her suddenly fell into darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the laboratory of Base Three.

"The small town of Vernal."

Transformed into Iger Wilson, the name flashed through his mind, and the "database" of Fort Grant began to search on its own.

In a few breaths, Mellen learned about it from the books in the school library.

[Fornal Town: In the area of the Blackreef Islands in the southeast corner of the Southern California Colony, a coastal territory occupied by the Imperial Baron Ryan Vernal in 1850, due to its convenient geographical location, it is often used as a supply depot and a place to sell stolen goods by nearby pirates. 】

In addition to this line of information, there are several relatively rudimentary sketch pictures.

After careful comparison, Mellen was able to determine that the general outline of this place was indeed similar to what he remembered!

"It can't really be the future."

He was a little confused.

Traveling through time or something, it's very lofty when you hear it, but it's not only very easy to enter that world by yourself, but the way is so ......

"Maybe it's a parallel world?"

He thought "back to the second", but there was always a sense of unease.

If it's a parallel world, it's okay to say, but if it's a future world, then isn't this future after the end of the world?

He hadn't seen any life in that town except the birds!

That is to say, the catastrophe of the Black Sun was not prevented, and the plans of the Holy Spirit Christine, as well as the others, failed......

"I need to find a way to get more leads."

Melen made up her mind.

The first thing to determine is whether that place is a parallel world or a future world.

The second thing to determine is whether the situation in a place other than the town is the same as that of the town.

After determining these two aspects, he can make an accurate judgment, otherwise it is just a blind guess.

This needs to be explored for yourself.

But for now, there is another quicker way, and that is to completely wake up the white jade skeleton in the sarcophagus and ask it.

Thinking of this, Mellen raised her feet and prepared to go to the Lady and the Holy Spirit.

But as his mind turned, he rushed in the other direction.
