Chapter 138: The Fool Shouldn't Mind One More Golden Finger
In reality, there is not much choice.
Most of the mystical knowledge of this world is in the hands of the church, the royal family or some secret organization, and it is rarely leaked, and unlike the ordinary medieval church, the church of this world is dedicated to the true God.
The three official churches of the Kingdom of Rune, where Beckland is located: the Goddess of the Night, the Lord of the Storm, and the God of Steam and Machinery, all have their own transcendent institutions.
The Nightwatcher, the Punisher, and the Heart of the Machine.
These three transcendent institutions watched over and defended Beckland, squeezing the space of the wild transcendents, leaving them to hide in the shadows.
Townsend was not interested in joining the Church, which would greatly limit his freedom, and the Wild Transcendentals, or the Transcendental Organization, were hard to find without guidance in this megacity of millions of people.
Townsend searched in Professor Red's room and soon found a number of newspapers, which were clearly in the habit of collecting newspapers, which was good news.
Beckland Post.
Townsend found one of the stacks of newspapers, the top one dated September 10, which happened to be yesterday, and the bottom one, which dates back to June.
Air pollution in Beckland is getting worse, with foggy days increasing from about 60 days 30 years ago to 75 days now."
"The Parliament is proposing the formation of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Commission."
Tang Sen's brows moved slightly, and he found a little familiarity in his memory.
He also found the earliest June newspaper.
"More and more citizens are marching, mostly residents of the East Side, who are calling for the repeal of the Grain Act."
Grain Act.
The term Townsend has the impression that the repeal of the Grain Act in the Kingdom of Rune seems to be just before the plot point begins.
"Looks like I've crossed over to the right vintage."
This is good news, at least the plot information in my memory can be used.
And those plot information are basically related to Klein, that is, the protagonist of this world.
"Judging from the information obtained in the newspaper, Klein should have started the plot at this point in June, and then entered the field of vision of the night watchman of the Church of the Night Goddess."
"Then, he joined the Church of the Night Goddess, became a member of the Night Watch, and became the Transcendent, one of the twenty-two sequences, the nineth, the soothsayer."
Townsend struggled to recall: "The early manifestation of his golden finger should be to enter the gray fog, and be able to communicate with other people in this way, like a chat group." ”
"Because of the particularity above the gray mist, he has a part of the extremely high personality, so that he can pretend to be a god with the strength of Sequence 9, so he claims to be a fool and forms the prototype of the Tarot Society, trading all kinds of information, potion recipes and materials."
"He was then embroiled in a series of events due to a terrifying seal, culminating in the death of Crane and his captain of the Nightwatcher team as an evil god known as the True Creator."
"After crawling out of the grave, Klein came incognito to Beckland, and set off a series of events in Beckland, and I remember that in Beckland's final plot, there is a villain who happens to be the shepherd of Sequence Five."
"The timing should be the beginning of the new year."
Tang Sen estimated the time and thought about his future plans.
If you want to get the potion as soon as possible and as safely as possible, joining Tarot would be the best choice, but Crane has a cautious personality, and above the gray fog is his deepest secret, and a person of unknown origin like himself, even if he senses his name, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to be trusted.
The safest thing to do is to win the trust of Miss Audrey, a member of the Tarot Society, and with her own financial resources, it is easy to gain status in this world.
But that noble lady has an extremely high status, and if she wants to reach the level of being able to contact her reasonably without arousing the suspicion of the church's transcendent institutions, I am afraid it will take a period of planning and preparation, and then she can get Klein's attention through her, and even join the Tarot Society, it will take at least a month.
"It's too slow."
Tang Sen frowned, if it weren't for the covetousness of the existence that gave the wallet, he would have been able to accept such a steady and steady move, but time was limited, and he had to think of other ways to use his time as efficiently as possible.
"The text on the wallet says that I won't be watched in any way by other beings."
Townsend pondered, "But I'm not invisible to Professor Red. ”
Does this gaze mean spiritual gaze? For example, divination, prophecy, or gaze from the spiritual realm or the star ring. ”
"Or maybe you can't see me in any other way than your eyes in reality?"
Tang Senwu shook his head:
"No, for some beings, it is perhaps more conspicuous to see than to see."
"Since the being who gave me my wallet wants to approach this world through me and succeed, he will never be so careless."
"I can't take these words so rigidly, and since He has been watching me, it is more likely that this shelter, or concealment, is not set in stone."
"He must be more than I want other beings to find out that something is wrong with me in order to influence His coming."
Thinking of this, Tang Sen's heart moved.
"There seems to be room for this."
Townsend has always been very good at making use of all kinds of things that can be used, especially after being tempered by two worlds.
The Mithril Ring of the previous world, just by virtue of a gift from the world, Townsend speculated that there might be the breath of Iluvita on it, and used this to gain Gandalf's trust.
And the infinite wallet of this world, although it comes from a more malicious existence, and even threatens his life at all times, but Tang Sen doesn't mind taking the fire from the fire.
"Didn't you want to come through my body?"
"Then I can't take advantage of this, it's probably not too much."
Townsen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a plan formed in his mind.
Of course, he would not be so stupid as to provoke those true gods directly, that would be too risky, and it would very likely make that being give up on coming.
But the risk of provoking a "fool" who has a true god personality but no strength seems to be bearable, and the person who gives it with his wallet, I am afraid that the current Klein may not be able to see through it.
Just make sure that everything happens above the gray fog and doesn't arouse the hostility of those who are watching Crane's presence.
"I don't think Klein would mind having another golden finger."
Townsend once again rummaged through Professor Red's collection of newspapers, and he remembered that in the short time before the event in which Crane had been sacrificed by the descent of the evil god, perhaps three days, perhaps four days, there had been a great event in Beckland.
The great pirate "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Zillingers, who infiltrated Beckland, was killed.
This matter will definitely be in the newspapers, and it will be the headlines.
But Townsend searched through all the newspapers and found that there was no such news.
"It doesn't look like this has happened yet." Tang Sen found the node of the plot line in this way: "There is still room for meddlers." ”
He certainly wouldn't be so reckless as to run to the famous pirate, and although he didn't fear the other party with Smaug's cards, it was clearly in no interest to him.
Is it for the 10,000 pound bounty?
Insult whom!
When everything was ready, Townsend stood up and took a deep breath.
"Fools who don't belong to this era, wait."
He paused, remembering that in this world, such mystical rituals required the use of the ancient Hermetic language.
And I use the lingua franca used by Professor Reid.
Language literacy is the ability to see words, or hear other people's words, and then be able to use that language fluently.
Townsend recalled that when Professor Red had commanded himself in the name of the Grim Reaper, he had indeed used a different language than the lingua franca.
He adjusted his language and chanted again.
"O fool who does not belong to this age;"
"You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;"
"You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune."
After chanting the name of the fool who could connect with the gray mist, Townsend paused.
Suddenly, his tone changed.
He only said one word.
"I see you."
