Woohoo~
With a long roar, the steam train slowly stopped at the station in Tingen City, trailing black smoke. - Fox/Love¢Literature+ !Um+right!Content^
Klein jumped out of the car carrying a box. He returned here after nearly two months, but this time he looked completely different. Even if he stood in front of Benson and Melissa, they couldn't recognize him.
Yes.
He had successfully been promoted to a Sequence 6 Faceless Man last night.
Although he had already decided to go out to sea to perform, Klein hesitated again and again and decided to go back to Tingen. However, he still hadn't decided whether to meet his brother and sister and tell them the truth.
Before, he was worried that the "resurrection from the dead" would bring trouble to his brother and sister, but now, he felt that the identity of a Beyonder was a trouble in itself.
But what Edward said was also true. If the world was truly peaceful, then it would be nice for Benson and Melissa to live a simple and safe life as ordinary people.
But is this world really peaceful?
Are ordinary people really safer than extraordinary people?
Not necessarily!
Just like the smog incident, its cause has nothing to do with ordinary people - just because an emperor wants to become a god, or a witch wants to digest a magic potion, tens of thousands of innocent people can die for unknown reasons.
At this time, if you are an extraordinary person, you have a chance to survive.
So will the Backlund incident happen again in Tingen?
No! A similar disaster had already occurred in Tingen, but it was stopped by the Nighthawks. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died.
Thinking of this, the balance in Klein's heart gradually tilted. He tightly grasped the handle of the box and followed the crowd out of the train station.
Daffodil Street.
Klein came to this familiar yet unfamiliar street again. There were row houses all around him. They had polygonal hip roofs and a gray-blue overall appearance, with chimneys towering up.
I still remember the joy and happiness of my family when we first moved here, the anticipation of finally climbing out of the bottom of society and living a happy life.
But, all of this was ruined because of Ince Zangwill.
This time, before I could seek revenge on him, he actually showed up again and killed me.
Thinking of this, Klein clenched his fingers.
Before he knew it, Klein had arrived in front of Row 2. He looked at the wooden door just a few meters away, and his feet felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move forward.
Or... wait a little longer?
A sound of footsteps came from behind, and then Klein heard a familiar voice: "Hello sir, who are you looking for?"
Melissa was holding a basket in her arms, which contained a long loaf of bread and some vegetables. She must have bought them from the market after school.
Melissa, why didn't you take the stagecoach again?
The words almost came out of my mouth.
Klein forced a smile and said, "Yes, I want to find someone..."
"Who are you looking for?"
Melissa added, "What I mean is, I know some of the residents nearby, maybe I can help you."
She glanced at the things in the basket. "But hurry up, I have to go home and cook..."
Klein took a deep breath, took off his hat, and said in his original voice:
"Melissa, I'm back."
"!!!"
The thing in Melissa's hand slipped, and her face was full of disbelief.
Chapter 373 Are your two kids this big now?
Misty sea, on the Golden Dream.
There wasn't actually a lot of information to tell about the God-Forsaken Land. After all, Edward didn't think it was appropriate to tell Edwina the important news about the gods.
So he focused on talking about the environment there, the living habits and beliefs of the people of Moon City and other relatively basic things. Unexpectedly, the potion showed signs of being digested - although it was very small, there was indeed a reaction.
This is normal. Common sense in the outside world is new knowledge that the people of Yuecheng have never heard of. The information about the God-Forsaken Land is also new knowledge to the people of the outside world.
It was only because it deviated from the prerequisite of "wandering" that only a very small amount was digested.
In this case, if I walk (wander) along the way and tell everyone about the God-Forsaken Land, the Extraordinary World and even the knowledge of potions, can I gradually cause qualitative changes through quantitative changes?
But the problem is, let alone the extraordinary world and potion knowledge, even the God-Forsaken Land cannot be publicized, right? - Let alone other things, Klein's miracle master's ritual is to "return a lost history to the current era." If the information about the God-Forsaken Land is known to everyone, then can Silver City and Moon City still be considered lost history?
Edward really didn't dare to take any risks.
So, the safest way is to pass on the knowledge without making it known to everyone.
After a moment, Edward's eyes lit up:
Hey, there is a solution!
It's me as expected!
"Ms. Edwards, do you know how and where we can encounter large numbers of pirates?"
This question made Edwina stunned for a moment, then she thought for a moment and answered, "There are many pirates at the annual pirate conference in the past, in Bayam, and on some supply islands on the routes of the Misty Sea and the Raging Sea."
Edward wondered, "Why is it the former Bayam?"
Edwina looked at Edward indifferently, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"Uh... ahem, I see."
Edward then realized that it was all because of the last incident in which he pretended to be a mental patient and attacked the City Lord's Mansion.
"So as long as we follow the route, we will encounter pirates endlessly along the way?"
"But it also depends on luck. After all, most pirates are still floating on the sea all year round looking for targets to rob. They won't stay in a fixed place and wait for you to find them."
After a pause, he said, "So, instead of actively looking for pirates, why not let them come to you."
Edwina explained, "For example, if a ship loaded with goods and treasures departs from the southern continent to Loen, then pirate ships of all sizes will catch wind of the situation and come knocking on the ship."
Edward was thoughtful and had an idea in mind.
"I see. Thank you."
...
After returning to Backlund, Edward went straight to the Hall family and told Audrey his thoughts and plans.
Since Earl Hall had basically acquiesced to their relationship, the two of them no longer hid in her house as before, but took advantage of the rare sunshine in Backlund to stroll in the villa garden, talking as they walked.
After hearing this, Audrey asked, "So you're going out to sea again? What about your previous plans?"
"It can only be discarded."
Edward said, "Based on the current experience of potion digestion, in order to digest it quickly and effectively, either the person imparting it must be of a high enough sequence, or the knowledge imparted must be relatively substantial."
"Both of these are not too difficult, but with the prerequisite of 'wandering', it becomes troublesome. The role of a wandering mentor does not really require me to stay in a fixed place to teach and impart knowledge, but to walk more and move more, impart knowledge by the way, and leave traces."
"According to the previous plan, we will depart from Loen and arrive at Intis at Finneport. We will definitely wander along the way and meet many people who can impart relevant knowledge to us."
Edward spread his hands, "But the question is...what can I teach them?"
Magic, even if I want to teach it to others, they can't learn it.
Extraordinary knowledge and magic potions? The Church must kill me!
What about modern science and technology? This kind of knowledge cannot be learned in a short time.
Only pure, completely unknown knowledge with mysterious and extraordinary properties, such as the God-Forsaken Land, the Extraordinary World, and magic potions, are the easiest to spread, the easiest to understand, and the most likely to arouse the interest of most people.
"So when are you leaving?"
Audrey said lightly, "I can ask my father to arrange a ship for you... For example, load tens of thousands of pounds of cargo and take you around the ocean."
"ah?"
He scratched his head. "Isn't this a bit deliberate? Besides...it doesn't seem to have anything to do with wandering."
Edward simply summarized the so-called wandering as: aimless and unrestrained, going wherever you want, occasionally stopping but leaving quickly, and the people you meet and the things you encounter are all full of randomness.
Just like before in the God-forsaken Land.
"I plan to randomly choose a ship from Pritz Harbor, then get off at a random stop along the way, and then switch to another ship to continue until the potion is completely digested."
Audrey's eyes sparkled. "That sounds very interesting. I want to go, too."
"sure."
She looked hesitant. "Wait a little longer. Mom hasn't recovered from what happened in the past few days. I'll stay at home with her for a while. I'll come find you when she's okay."
"OK."
"Hahahaha, come and chase me!"
At this time, a burst of crisp laughter was heard.
Lilith just came running over with her short legs spread out, laughing, followed by Susie, and Anne and several other maids behind her.
They were panic-stricken, fearing that the child brought back by the eldest daughter would fall - they had heard that this little girl was actually born secretly by the eldest daughter outside, and the Earl and his wife were furious for the past two days, and the eldest young master was so angry that he stayed in the house for two days.
But what will happen in the end?
Now that the children were born and could run around, the Earl and his wife had no choice but to accept it.
Look, today the wild man that the young lady met outside showed up at the Hall's house. Oh, how pitiful are those noble sons of Backlund who are pursuing the young lady.
"Edward!"
Lilith threw herself into Edward's arms and said proudly, "Ms. Lilith has learned to walk and run like a human, and they can't catch up with me!"
"Great, great."
Lilith spread out her two white hands: "When will you teach me how to make rat steak and rat meat?"
"this..."
Edward thought for a moment and said, "I think Lilith should start with steak and lamb stew. When you have made these two kinds of meat very delicious, you can make rat steak and rat stew. Otherwise, won't the rats you worked so hard to catch be wasted?"
