When Klein saw the 'door of light' and those 'cocoons', his spirit was hit like a flood breaking through the embankment, only to feel that all expectations were shattered, and the original mature world view, outlook on life and values collapsed.

However, Lu Xun once said:

The temperament of the Chong people is always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this house is too dark, you have to open a window here, and you will not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows.

The situation is very similar now, but there are differences.

If the light door, those 'silkworm cocoons', opened a window on Klein's house called 'Three Views', then the embers directly lifted the roof!

Compared with the roof being lifted, opening the windows is not so unacceptable.

As Miss Justice said, the Light Gate and the Cocoon dashed his hopes. At that moment, Klein only felt that he had lost his future, but the embers directly put his 'present' in jeopardy.

This act of 'lifting the roof' temporarily suppressed Klein's negative feelings about 'opening the window', and when he found out that Ember didn't really want to lift the roof, but just picked up the roof and played with it and put it back, the crisis of 'now' was lifted.

But at the same time, the negative emotions caused by the 'open window' came back to my heart.

Fortunately, with the precedent of 'lifting the roof', coupled with the psychological counseling of Miss 'Justice', Klein's precarious three views have finally stabilized.

Call...... Crane exhaled, forcing himself to turn his mind back to the 'cocoons', and his instinct when he saw the image was:

A certain extremely high-level existence, or a certain seal, at the same time, with the help of different methods, captured a large number of people from the earth, among them, some used the transfer ritual, and some purchased the strange silver medal......

Then, the souls of these traversers are sealed in a 'cocoon' and hung on the 'light gate', waiting for a certain opportunity to appear and be sent into the real world.

According to Klein's observations, the 'light gate' currently has no intelligence and operates purely on instinct, that is, as long as the conditions are met, it will catalyze a 'silkworm cocoon' and send the soul body inside to the body of a specific target.

From the current point of view, Klein guesses that there are probably two conditions that need to be met:

First, there is no other traveler ahead, or that traveler has been judged to have failed or died;

Second, the 'calling' of something, an object, or a ritual, like Klein. Moretti followed the black divination that Antigonus had made.

And now Klein can basically confirm it.

That existence of the 'extremely high-level existence' was the former master of the Source Castle, 'Tianzun'!

And the reason why they, the catalyzed 'earthlings', were able to borrow corpses to resurrect their souls in this world. Perhaps it was precisely that Heavenly Venerable who wanted to cultivate them step by step to become powerful and extraordinary, and then take them away.

"In this way, it can well explain why the Emperor and I are in the same era on Earth, and the difference is not more than a year, but we are more than two hundred years apart...... Because, we crossed at the same time, but we were 'put on' in different years! Before entering the real world, the Emperor and I had been asleep for an unknown number of years...... The brother in the next door? ”

Crane leaned back in his chair, his gaze flickering slightly, and then he returned to gloom.

There are three broken 'cocoons', which means that there are three 'traversers' in this world.

He and the Emperor occupy two of them, so who else is there?

The first object of Klein's suspicion was undoubtedly the Elven King Sunia Solem.

This ancient god invented chopsticks, can make 'blood wang', likes to eat animal offal, is very good at using spices, and the mainstream contour lines and hair color eyes of the descendants are close to the Asians on the earth, not only Klein once suspected that he was a time-traveler, but Russell the Great also felt the same way.

The other object of suspicion is the ancient sun god, the creator of the Silver City!

The main symbolic element of the ancient sun god was the cross, as was the cross of Jesus Christ.

He named His children Adam and Amun, and these have a counterpart in the myths of the earth!

Adam was the first human being created out of dust in God's own image, and Amun was the seventh of King Solomon's 72 Pillar Demon Gods, possessing the ability to know the past and the future, and to turn friends against each other or reconcile them.

Adam was the eldest son of the ancient sun god, which corresponds to the first human being created by God in his image.

And Amon the 'Blasphemous' is the 'Thief's Path' of the angelic rank, he can deceive fate, cheat the rules, and become a parasite of time. And this ability is also very similar to Amon in the 72 Pillars Demon God!

In addition, the seven gods and even other evil gods have their own angels, but only the angels under the seat of the 'ancient sun god' show the image of the wings of light, which is in line with the angels under the throne of God in mythological stories.

Klein even thinks that the word 'angel' may have been 'invented' by the ancient sun god!

Because in the Second Age, there was no shortage of Sequence 2 under the command of the Old Gods, but they were called slaves in time.

The earliest angel may be the king of the eight angels who originated from the ancient sun god......

"I didn't think there were any details about these details before, but now I think about them carefully."

Crane hissed, thinking that the ancient sun god was more suspicious than the elven king Sunia Solem.

The other party's experience is so legendary, more like the protagonist of the era than Russell the Great!

Of course, His end was also quite miserable, and being betrayed by his own 'disciples' was also in line with Jesus' ending......

"Is this also in your calculations?" Klein complained.

Although it was a joke, Crane felt that it was not unlikely, and that the 'betrayal' might have been planned by the ancient sun god in the first place.

For Amun said that the 'first' awakened in his father, it must have preceded that 'betrayal', and perhaps this betrayal was also an attempt by the ancient sun god to get rid of the 'first'.

He may have wanted to get rid of the 'beginning' by getting rid of the 'ancient sun god', and then be reborn as the 'true creator' and reclaim his original power.

But regardless of the truth, the ending will definitely end in failure.

Because the 'true creator' is now just an ordinary 'evil god', the secret organization that believes in him is also wanted by the Church of the Seven. In this respect, the 'rebirth' was successful, but the attempt to reclaim the power was a failure. This 'rehearsal' betrayal may eventually turn into a real betrayal, and the power of the ancient sun god will be discarded......

In addition, although Ember is also a time-traveler, he goes to the world of 'Black Souls'.

Although the reason is unknown, it probably has nothing to do with 'Tianzun'.

After all, what Tianzun wanted was to take away these traversers, and Ember's current behavior was to 'take away' that Tianzun......

What's more, Ember went to the 'Black Souls' world.

And the reason why the painting world of 'Black Soul' came to us is also because of the traction of a certain object or a certain existence. Klein guessed that this 'object' that led to the advent of the 'painting world' may be essentia!

The king soul can replenish itself by 'fuse' essentia, and that essentia may not be able to 'fuse' the king's soul in reverse!

And this may be the essence of 'traction'!

Based on this, Klein has an even bolder guess -

The king's soul has a master, whether it is embers or the first fire, they are the masters of the king's soul, and they are fighting for the ownership and control of the king's soul.

What about essentia?

The king's soul has a master, and the essentia may also have a master!

Just as 'Tianzun' is the master of the 'Source Castle', the other nine essentia may also have their own masters.

Or maybe these essentia originally belonged to the same being, but for some human reason, they were divided into nine parts!

It's like the first fire being divided into nine parts of the king's soul!

And who will this being who controls all essentia?

Klein's eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely guessed, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion.

"Forget it, don't think about it yet."

Crane rubbed his temples, putting the distraction aside for a moment.

Although these things cannot be said to be closely related to him, they certainly have an impact. After all, the 'Source Castle' is with him, and sooner or later, it has already been taken by at least two ...... Three gods and two angels set their sights.

Figuring out what happened in the past would be of great help to him figuring out where he is now.

But after all, he is only a Sequence 5, and there may be no way to solve many things even if he knows them......

Instead of asking for trouble, it is better to go straight to the pendulum.

If you really encounter the invasion of other angels or even gods, it's a big deal to rattle the bell and shout people!

He Klein also has a backer now!

And more than that, he now just wants to return to Beckland as soon as possible.

"Benson, Melissa......"

Klein's eyes softened as he thought of the two relatives who were waiting for him in Beckland.

He has witnessed the dashing of hope, but at least he has not lost everything.

——

On the Future, Crane returned to reality, washed his face with clean water, and walked out of the bathroom.

He was just thinking about whether it was dinner time, and was about to take out his gold-shelled pocket watch and press it to take a look, when his eyes suddenly darkened, and he could barely see his fingers.

Crane frowned, gave up his intention to leave the room, and walked briskly to the bed.

With the help of meditation, I entered the dream realm.

In the dream, as soon as he woke up, he found that his position had changed again!

The last time he was out of his dreams, he was on a boulder where Gardelia, the 'star general', sat on his knees, but now he was at the top of a staircase. The glow of dusk shines through the stained glass from above, making the black staircase that spirals down in relief extraordinarily beautiful.

Crane instinctively looked to the side, and a lady stood at the staircase leading to the upper floor, watching him closely.

She wore a pair of beige trousers that were easy to move around and a pair of black leather boots, but she was wearing a light brown knee-length skirt with a slanted skirt, showing a bit of uninhibited and chic.

This kind of dressing and matching instantly makes Klein feel like he is dreaming of returning to the earth, because no similar style has ever been popular in countries such as Rune, or Intis, or even Fursack, Fenerport, Lemburg, Marcy, East and West Byrand!

But when Klein saw the lady's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but stiffen.

She had long, chestnut hair that was naturally draped, her straight eyebrows that stretched out just right, and her eyes were blue and deep, as if they had condensed an ocean.

She has outstanding beauty, but the most eye-catching thing is not this, the dignity that naturally flows from her behavior and the temperament of a big man who has been in a high position for a long time is even more impressive.

And because she is impressive, Klein remembers this lady clearly! He confirmed that he had seen each other on the White Onyx on his first voyage!

When the White Onyx arrived in Byam, Klein never saw her again.

But now they meet again in a dream, which shows that the other party is very close to them in reality! Because only people who are close to each other in reality will be pulled into the same dream!

Da, da, da.

Step by step, the lady with a bird's-eye view walked across from Klein, pulled out her chair, and sat down.

"We meet again."

The lady said in a soft, but not emotionally slighted tone.

Klein suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked with an indifferent expression:

"I don't think it's a coincidence that we're meeting."

From the time he went to sea, the other party has been following him. And now there is a sudden showdown, what does the other party want to do?

The lady opposite pulled her long chestnut hair and shook her head slightly:

"No, it's a 'coincidence.'"

This kind of answer made Klein stunned, you call this a 'coincidence'?

The lady said in a soft but indifferent voice:

"When we went out to sea, we happened to be on the same passenger liner."

"I've observed you, but I have no intention of making contact with you."

"When you stayed in Byam, I came to this sea on Gardelia's ship."

"And when I returned, you came here again on Gardelia's ship."

“……”

Crane was completely speechless, and his breath froze.

It sounds outrageous, but it really seems like it's just a coincidence?

The other party went to sea to take Gardelia's ship to the ruins, and the reason why they chose to take the 'White Onyx' in the first place was to not attract attention and not to clash with the navy of the Kingdom of Rune.

And I originally planned to ask the 'hanging man' for help, whether it was 'Star Admiral' or 'Iceberg Lieutenant General' were options that I encountered later. But in the end, he still chose the 'star general'......

So, isn't this just a coincidence?!

At this moment, Klein even suspected that Ince Zangwille was nearby!

How can there be such a coincidence?!

It must have been Ince Zangwill!

"Calm down!"

Crane calmed down, and instead of continuing the topic, he asked:

"Are you the 'Queen of Mystery'?"

"A lot of people call me that." The lady on the other side replied with a flat expression.
