Bernadette asked.

Lilith thought for a moment and said, "I don't know..."

"Then why did the vampires give this to you?"

"Edward said... to make amends to me."

"apologize?"

Bernadette was shocked. The vampires were all proud people. How could they easily apologize to others? Especially... the target was a cat with the same name as their ancestor?

Wait? Could it be that she had to make amends just because her name was "Lilith"?

Bernadette knew very well that if your name "coincidentally" was the same as that of some gods... or even some angels, you might become His incarnation.

However, according to the High Priest of Moon City, Lilith, the ancestor of the blood clan, should have died long ago.

"Can you tell me exactly what happened?"

Lilith immediately looked at her warily, "Are you trying to trick me again?"

"…"

Bernadette was somewhat helpless. "This is not a cliché. If Edward wasn't busy, I would have asked him directly. This concerns the safety of you and him."

Lilith blinked, hesitated for more than ten seconds and said, "Okay, it's like this..."

...

On Yuecheng Square.

Edward continued to tell everyone about the outside world.

"Beyond this land, there are vast oceans, lands, and islands. Different countries are established in those places... These countries are made up of large and small cities like Yuecheng... Their culture... history... beliefs..."

This time, Edward not only explained it to the people of Moon City, he even used Transfiguration to create corresponding pictures to show them.

This undoubtedly made the people of Moon City yearn for the peace and tranquility outside, and they also had a higher level of trust in Edward's words.

Having said this, Edward recited some inspiring poems - once again acting as a bard.

When the "course" was over, High Priest Nim found Edward again and asked the same question from yesterday: "Sir Edward, have you asked your Lord about the Sun God?"

Edward looked at him deeply: "Do you really want to know?"

Nim's grayish-white pupils trembled, as if he realized something, but he still nodded heavily: "I want to know. My book, the city ...

"My Lord told me... the Ancient Sun God, the Lord you believe in, was betrayed by the Angel King who served Him..."

Nim looked exhausted, and he tried hard to suppress his emotion and asked, "You mean, the Lord fell because of this?"

Edward shook his head. "Not only did he fall, but his flesh and blood were also eaten by the betrayers. This land is cursed because of this."

"…So that's how it is. So that's how it is."

The high priest seemed to have aged by ten or twenty years, and his body was decayed and decadent. "It turns out that it was not the Lord who abandoned us... but Himself..."

Edward thought for a moment and said, "But..."

Nim immediately raised his head and stared at Edward.

"But according to what my Lord conveyed, the Ancient Sun God is not completely dead. He... seems to be cooperating with my Lord. He will be resurrected with the help of my Lord."

Edward's words were half true and half false.

"real?"

Edward did not answer, but said: "Don't worry, High Priest. It won't be long before the messenger of our Lord will come to this land again. At that time, he will lead you away from here and live a new life in the outside world."

He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Sir Edward, could you please go somewhere with us later?"

"where?"

The High Priest of Nim said seriously: "Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one years ago, we accepted the command of the great sun god, the Lord of all creation, and moved here to guard a gray mist."

"He told us that when the fog shows signs of change, it's time for us to leave."

Edward suddenly realized, "So you want me to go and see if there will be any changes in the fog?"

"That's right. ￠EZ small 'tax! In vain? -Free, lung/read¨alone~"

"But, as I said yesterday, I am not here to lead you away. You need to wait for another messenger from my Lord next time. In other words..."

Nim pleaded, "I would like to ask Your Excellency to give it a try."

"…Okay."

He could only agree that the gray-white mist was the entrance to the Western Continent, a seal set by the previous Lord of Mysteries himself, and even the ancient Sun God could not open it.

Therefore, the only person who could cause the gray-white mist to react was Klein, who was related to the Lord of Mysteries (Source Castle). Even though he himself had some hangs, Edward felt that it was highly unlikely that he would be able to cause a reaction.

"Then I'll go get ready and leave as soon as possible."

At this time, Bernadette came back with Lilith, "Where are you going?"

Edward repeated Nim's words, and Bernadette nodded slightly and told Edward what had just happened at the statue.

He was surprised after hearing this, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that Lilith has hidden some tricks in that "leg ring"?

Bernadette saw his reaction and asked, "You seem to have known for a long time that this seal is not simple?"

"I guess so."

She suddenly said, "The ancestor of the blood race... Lilith is not dead, right?"

Edward was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"Just a guess."

Bernadette said calmly, "If an ordinary person named his cat or dog Roselle Gustav, I might just think it was a coincidence. But if it was an extraordinary person, I would definitely think he was deliberately insulting my father."

"There is only one reason why I not only did not cause trouble to the dog owner, but also made friends with him, and that was my father's tacit consent and request for me to do so."

"I am like this, let alone the proud vampires."

Edward hesitated and said, "Well, your analysis makes sense."

Bernadette suddenly realized, "No wonder the vampires were so active in the rescue during this smog incident. Did you ask them to do this?"

"Ah? I really don't know about that. In fact, I didn't even have the chance to get involved in the smog incident before the Angel King took me away."

"But..." Edward thought of Akasha's reaction at that time. It seemed that Lilith really did not approve of George III becoming the Black Emperor.

But why?

Edward didn't think it had anything to do with him, and he never mentioned anything related to the vampires from beginning to end.

At this time, Nim came over with his men and said, "We can set off now."

High Priest Nim and his companions led the way with torches in hand, and Edward transformed more than ten lanterns into lanterns surrounding them. After leaving Moon City, the group headed for a nearby high point.

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one spoke along the way, until Nim and the others finally stopped.

With the help of lightning across the sky, Edward saw a gray fog solidified a few hundred meters away. The fog connected the earth and spread all the way to the sky, as if there was no top. At the same time, the fog extended to both sides, without a limit.

The people of Moon City stopped in front of the gray-white fog that was like a huge barrier and looked back and said, "This is it."

Edward approached slowly, gently threw out the gold coin to make sure it was harmless, and then reached out to touch the gray-white mist.

At first there was a layer of light, moist mist, but when he stretched his hand about ten centimeters further in, his palm was blocked by an invisible wall.

Bernadette also came closer, her azure eyes suddenly became deep, and after a few seconds she stepped back repeatedly, with bright red blood stains flowing from the corners of her eyes. This scared Lilith, who was also curious about touching the mist. She somersaulted backwards on the spot, and her tail stood up.

Edward hurriedly supported her and whispered, "The status of this mist is very high... extremely high. Don't try to analyze it or understand it."

She wiped her eyes calmly and was about to say something, but when she glanced at the people in Yuecheng, she didn't say anything else.

Edward then stretched out his hand and drew a line in the gray mist, looked at Nim and shrugged, "See, there is really no reaction. My Lord said that now is not the time."

Nim did not speak, but waved his hand to let others skillfully light the candles, set up an altar with various spiritual materials, and then performed the ceremony very skillfully according to the process that had been engraved in his memory.

At the end, he lowered his head and recited in a low voice:

"The everlasting mist;

"A barrier that solidifies time and space;

"An existence that embraces everything..."

A few minutes later, the ceremony ended, but the gray mist remained unchanged.

Nim did not give up and started the ceremony again from the beginning.

Edward actually knew very well that the only effect of this ritual was to allow Klein to hear the name "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" coming from the gray mist.

The prerequisite for hearing this sound is probably that only the owner of Sefirah Castle can do so. As for causing the gray-white mist to react, it also depends on the power of Sefirah Castle, but he does not have any of these.

Judging from the results, these things might have been arranged for Klein from the beginning.

High Priest Nim performed the ceremony five or six times. By the end, this demigod-level warrior was sweating profusely and had a splitting headache due to the exhaustion of his spiritual energy.

Seeing that he was still trying to hold on, Edward said hurriedly, "Wait a minute, High Priest, I... I seem to hear something coming from this gray mist."

Nim's gray eyes suddenly flashed with light, "What did you hear?"

"Please wait a moment."

Edward pretended to listen attentively—in fact, he couldn't hear a thing.

Well, how about doing the same as Klein and telling him that he heard "the sound of someone praying to our Lord"?

Or do the whole show?

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the barrier of gray mist, and whispered:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord;

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun;

"Blessed is the Xuanhuang God;

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."

This was the complete spell of the luck-changing ritual that Klein recited before his "time travel," and it was also the password for him to log into Sefirah Castle. In the original novel, he also used these four sentences to make the eternal gray-white fog react.

But all of that is based on the premise that... he is the master of Sefirah Castle.
