At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Angel's mind.

Mistaken yourself, here is still the earth?

A country has developed a writing system similar to the world she traveled to?

Still is......

She suppressed her excitement, took the pages on the table, and asked, "Mr. Neil, may I ask what these are?" ”

As she spoke, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse.

Old Neil was about to leave the small room with the key, and when he heard Angel's question, he looked back at her, saw the yellowed pages she was holding in her hand, and replied with a smile: "These are rubbings of the notes of Russell Gustav the Great, and they are his own written symbols, which have been handed down to the world after his death. Some people think it's a whole set of occult codes, hiding endless treasures, but based on my recent research, a small number of symbols have been deciphered, and according to my speculation, it's likely a diary. ”

Diary? The diary of Russell Gustav the Great?

Angel searched for the unfamiliar name in her mind, and soon found him in the memories that belonged to Cole Granger, because this guy was so famous that he had become a household name.

Just the feat of overthrowing the original ruler of the Kingdom of Intis and serving as the consul of the Republic of Intis and changing the republic to the empire as the emperor has already left a name in the history of Russell the Great, and during this period, the invention of the practical steam engine and the start of the industrial revolution made the Northern Continent enter industrialization, not to mention that he single-handedly contributed to the colonization of the Southern Continent, which can be said to be a major figure who profoundly influenced the history of the modern world.

Many inventions such as "tarot cards" and "newspapers" in his memory give Angel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Wouldn't this versatile Emperor of the Intis Empire also be a time-traveler?

As soon as this idea appeared, she immediately found more corroboration: all kinds of novels and plays from different eras on the original earth, famous sayings and aphorisms from different countries, and creations and improvements in different fields.

These creations and inventions involving multiple fields all come from the same person, which is simply unreasonable.

Coupled with the words and symbols that he had "created" but Angel could determine the source, she could basically conclude that Russell the Great was also a time-traveler from the earth.

And most likely Asian.

"What, are you trying to decipher the words?" Old Neil's inquiry woke Angel from his thoughts.

She waved the paper in her hand lightly, shook her head, and said:

"It's just a little curious, after all, it's the diary of that Russell the Great, I thought ......"

"Think you'll find some mysteries?"

Old Neil smiled and shook the keychain in his hand and said, "As one of the most famous figures of this era, these manuscripts of his have been studied by countless people for a long time, and each individual symbol on the manuscript may represent a different meaning, but unfortunately, no one has ever really deciphered the meaning. ”

"You can go ahead and try it here, and I'll help you get the materials."

He didn't seem to think Angel could see anything from this, so he closed the iron door and left the room.

Angel turned his gaze back to the three diaries of the Great Emperor in his hand, trying to find some pattern in these square characters, but unfortunately there was no other progress except for further confirmation that these characters were in Chinese.

At this moment, she only hated that she was not a Chinese, or at least she could choose Chinese course when she took a foreign language.

These diaries may be just boring records of daily life, but they may also hide countless knowledge and mysteries, and even ......

Including a clue back to Earth?

Then she remembered that Russell the Great had died in his later years in a palace conspiracy-style assassination, and perhaps the time-traveler had not found his way home until his death.

Reining his thoughts, Angel began to incorporate the characters from the three diaries in his hand into his memory.

Even if you can't decipher them now, at least write them down.

————————

"Bang bang—"

A knock on the door woke Angel from her preoccupied memory state.

With the help of the extraordinary's memory, which is far beyond ordinary people, she has memorized all the words of these three pages of the diary in her mind, and when she is checking them one by one, Dunn Smith's deep voice came from outside the iron door where old Neil had left just now.

"Old Neil, are you in there?"

The captain also came to the basement...... Didn't he run into old Neil on the road?

Angel put down her diary and opened the iron door, where she saw Captain Dunn, wearing a top hat and a black trench coat, standing outside the door.

Seeing that it was her who opened the door, Dunn was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What about old Neil?" ”

Then he patted the top hat on his head, and replied to himself as if he had just remembered, "Oh, he's going to help you get the materials, right?" ”

Angel nodded: "Yes, I have already got the bullets, and he said that he needs to go to the alchemy room and pierce the rest of the materials... Hiss... Chanis Mena. ”

The first time she pronounced this awkward word, she almost bit her tongue.

"I just came from the alchemy room, so he should be in Chanismen." Dunn's eyes glanced at the bullets on the table, and quickly made a decision, "Old Neil is going to help Mr. Klein Moretti concoct potions, maybe he won't have time to come over and help you deliver the materials, I'll go over and help you get your things, you can wait here for a while." ”

Why are you waiting here for one or two?

Angel thought with a frown.

Wait, concoction potion? Klein Moretti?

She remembered the shy young man who had come with her in a carriage to the Nightwatch's headquarters, who was also going to take potions and become extraordinary?

The potions that Cole Granger took in his memory were all mixed by himself and taken on the spot, but from a third-party perspective, neither Cole nor Angel had any relevant experience of watching others take potions. When she heard that Old Neil was going to help people make potions, she was very interested in it.

"Can I visit from the sidelines? I'm referring to the process of mixing potions. ”

Angel pretended not to be interested and asked casually, but the garbled sentences revealed her true heart.

Dunn frowned and looked at Angel for a long time, and just when she thought she would be rejected, those gray eyes looked away.

"Come here."

Nodding in agreement, Dunn turned around and walked out of the room.

He actually agreed?

Angel hurriedly put down Russell the Great's manuscript, hurried to follow Dunn Smith, walked through the passage from which he came, and returned to the crossroads.

Just as the two of them were about to turn to the passage to the "Chanis Gate", there was a "click" of footsteps, and the old Neil in a black robe came from the other end of the passage carrying a wooden box. Seeing two people standing at the intersection, he paused as if he was frightened, and only relaxed after realizing who it was.

"Dunn, what's wrong with you coming down?" Old Neil greeted Dunn first, and then without waiting for the other party to answer, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Angel, "These are the materials you need, they are all in the box, except for the star crystal, I have taken some more, can you count it yourself?" ”

Angel took the wooden box, lifted the lid and looked inside.

The small wooden box was divided into several compartments, two glass bottles were supposed to contain alcohol and etching liquid, glowing lizard scales were neatly stacked in the corners, dry screaming bales of straw were packed into bundles to fill one grid, and star crystals were placed separately in glass bottles, shimmering in the light.

She nodded, and everything was fine.

Seeing that the two of them had completed the handover, Dunn slowly spoke: "Old Neil, you go back to Chanismen again, get a copy of the 'soothsayer' potion recipe and materials, and bring it to the alchemy room." ”

"A soothsayer?"

Old Neil repeated the word.

"Oh, it's for that little guy Crane, right? I didn't expect him to choose this path, I thought he would choose the 'Sleepless', even though we have enough sleepers here. ”

Muttering, he turned to walk towards Chanismans.

"Let's go to the alchemy room first, Klein is waiting there." After seeing Neal Sr. leave, Dunn said to Angel.

The two left the intersection again and walked in the direction of St. Selena's Church, walking some distance along the long stone passage, until they stopped in front of a secret door that opened in the wall.

This is the alchemy room? But why hide behind a secret door?

Angel followed Dunn into the room, looking at the secret alchemy room under the gaslight.

Crucibles, test tubes, flasks, and a clutter of tables and chairs, this is more like an enlarged version of his basement than Angel's imagination of a clean and tidy "regular alchemy room", Klein Moretti, who had just said goodbye upstairs before, was standing in front of a table, looking around the items in the alchemy room, and when he heard footsteps, he looked back at the door in surprise.

"Captain, why are you back?"

"Old Neil has gone to fetch the potions, and I met Miss Angel Granger on the way and brought her with me...... Well, take a look. ”

Dunn pointed at Angel and explained briefly.

Only then did Klein notice Angel by the door, and he greeted him with his top hat: "Miss Granger, we meet again." ”

These etiquettes are really troublesome...... People who are too polite are not easy to get along with.

Angel sneered, so she had to return the salute.

Seeing that the two of them had finished greeting, Dunn stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said, "Just let the two of you get to know each other, this gentleman is Klein Moretti, a native of Tingen, a graduate of Hoy University, who has now joined the Night Watch because he was involved in a mysterious incident last week." ”

Crane smiled at Angel and said hello again.

"This beautiful young lady is Angel Granger, a native of West Villas, who has only recently arrived in the city of Tingen and has also chosen to be one of us because of her involvement in a mysterious matter."

Angel stretched out his right hand to Klein, who was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his right hand and held it with her.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Moretti."

"Me too, Ann... Miss Granger. ”

"Oh, a little sorority, how could I be absent?" A low but lively voice came from behind Angel, and she looked back to see that old Neil was holding a small silver box in one hand, and with the other hand, he removed the round-brimmed felt hat from his head, pressed it to his chest, and bowed slightly.

"This funny old gentleman, everyone calls him Old Neil, and you can call him the manager of the Nightwatcher's warehouse, the seeker of mystical knowledge, and the voyeur in the dark."

He lifted the box in his hand with exaggerated movements.

"Present the 'soothsayer' potion to ladies and gentlemen."

The alchemy room was silent for a while.
