Dog Licking Mirror-Arrodes!

However, it was a seal belonging to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and two hundred years later it was in the hands of the Mechanical Heart members of the Backlund branch church. So where would it be now?

How can I access it safely?

Except Arrodes...

The only ones left are those true gods who seem to express "goodwill" to me in the future. But even if they are really kind in the future, will they still be kind to me who has traveled through time two hundred years in the future?

Edward didn't dare to gamble.

The most important thing is that after finally disappearing from under the noses of those old bastards (gods) and leaving their chessboard, they took the initiative to go to their door. Isn't this despicable?

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and a small silver-white cross appeared in his hand.

This was given to him by Father Maozi before his "death". With it, he is equivalent to being a member of the Twilight Hermitage. Every time a meeting of the Twilight Hermitage is held, he can use it to project his spirit into the Church of Bones to attend the meeting.

Father Maozi said at the time: "It can exist."

Edward was still wondering what it meant to be able to exist.

Now it seems that the Twilight Hermitage may not exist in the future, but it certainly existed in the past!

So what Adam meant at that time was for me to join the old Twilight Hermitage?

In this case, I received the cross from Father Maozi in the future, participated in the Twilight Hermitage in the past, and then got to know Father Maozi, which made him decide to give me the cross in the future - which is equivalent to completing a... closed loop?

Just like the time-turner that Dumbledore gave him last time at Hogwarts, it also closed a loop.

After all this trouble, I still can't avoid the Russian priest!

Should we say that he is worthy of being an entity that once possessed omniscience and omnipotence?

So has He already realized that this cross should not be given out in this era?

Judging from the summarized "Roleplaying Rules" of the Mystic, He probably doesn't know it now. So when the next Twilight Hermit Meeting is held, should I attend it?

Edward leaned back in his chair, feeling conflicted.

After a long time, he shook his head: Don't make a decision in a hurry, think about it slowly.

At this moment, the heat in Edward's heart gradually subsided, and an idea came to his mind:

Could it be that the senior that Roselle was talking about was not Lilith?

After all, there are too few clues.

Maybe... it's me?

After all, to Emperor Roselle, I am also a "senior" time traveler!

...

The Russell family villa.

After finishing dinner, Russell kissed his wife Matilda on the cheek and left the restaurant.

Tonight was a rare night in recent times when he didn't go out to attend a dance or climb into that lady's bed while drinking, not because he had anything else to do.

The truth is, there is no land that is ruined by plowing, only cows that are worked to death!

The continuous debauchery for several days really took a toll on his kidneys.

"I have to get promoted to a craftsman quickly. By then, my physique should be much better. Read the book. The book has been published."

He picked up a cup of warm water soaked with wolfberries and gulped down a big gulp. "I don't know when I can find wolfberries. This fruit is useless."

"Hmm…"

He pinched his chin and thought, "Should I try the medicine that the pharmacist Green recommended to me? But it uses mummy powder...

Is it really reliable? "

Pop.

Russell put down the cup and looked back at the door, "What's wrong? You were acting sneaky just now when we were eating."

Bernadette, who was crouching at the door and peeking, heard this and immediately shouted, "Who is sneaking around? Dad is the one sneaking around! I'll tell Mom that you want to eat mummy powder!"

"!!!"

Oh my god, you really are a pain in the ass for your dad!

Russell hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait, Dad is wrong, Dad admits his mistake."

Bernadette walked into the house with her hands behind her back and raised her chin: "What did you do wrong?"

"…"

Why do women always like to ask this? !

Chapter 453 Past and Future

Roselle hugged his baby daughter into his arms and said, "I was wrong... I made our baby unhappy."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Bernadette nodded and said generously, "I forgive you!"

"Well, tell Dad, what did you want to tell me while you were eating just now?"

Bernadette hesitated for a few seconds, "Dad, did you really write that collection of fairy tales just for me?"

"Of course!"

"Has anyone else seen it?"

"No!"

Roselle said confidently, "I created the fairy tale word by word, and your mother drew the illustrations. I gave it to you after it was completed. How could anyone else have read it?"

"But..."

She pursed her lips, "I just felt like someone else had seen it!"

"Why do you say that?"

Russell laughed. Women are women. They have such strong possessiveness at such a young age and start shooting at targets in the air.

Bernadette rubbed her fingers on the corner of her clothes, and finally took out a doll from her pocket:

"Look at this... Is it Pinocchio? I found it... outside this afternoon."

"What is Pinault..."

Before he finished speaking, the smile on Russell's face suddenly froze, and then he took the doll and stared at its long nose.

"How is it possible...is this a coincidence?"

"Bernadette, where did you find it?"

Bernadette looked away with a guilty look in her eyes. "Right, right in the garden."

She really wanted to tell her father that a strange man broke into the villa and gave it to her, but she was worried that her nose would get longer.

Russell looked at his daughter quietly for a moment and smiled, "Oh, what a pity."

"Why?"

"I made this puppet secretly to give to you as a gift, but you found it first, so there's no surprise at all."

He shook his head, looking regretful.

"Ah? I told you! How could that person have..."

Bernadette covered her mouth before she finished speaking.

Russell laughed and said, "That guy? Are you talking about Green?"

"Huh? He's Uncle Green?"

"Yeah, you said that Green guy, he said he would take it over to have a look, but he just gave it to you, so you didn't get the surprise I wanted to give you."

Russell pretended to be angry, "By the way, what else did he say besides giving you this doll?"

"What did you say?"

Bernadette thought for a moment and said, "No, he just told me not to tell anyone else, otherwise... my nose will get longer!"

At this point, she quickly touched her nose and said, "Ah! I didn't tell Dad just now, so it can't be considered a lie!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Russell laughed. "Okay, don't worry. That's just Green trying to scare you. Go and have a rest."

"Okay~"

She grabbed the Pinocchio doll and ran out quickly, "Good night, Dad! Thank you for the doll you gave me, I like it very much!"

"Go now."

Watching his daughter leave happily, the smile on Russell's face disappeared.

"That Pinocchio puppet...what's going on?"

...

Inside the inn, Edward was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book on Elvish language, muttering to himself, reciting words and grammar.

Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, showing some surprise:

Huh?

The mystic's potion was loose again.

But I didn't do anything?

He closed the book and thought for a moment: So far, apart from the newsboy and the hotel owner, the only person I have really come into contact with is Bernadette, so... it is most likely because of her?

But why?

...

Future time and space, 1349.

Misty Sea, Emerald City.

The mysterious Queen Bernadette stood quietly on a terrace overlooking the sea, looking at the sea in the distance that was illuminated red by the moonlight.

Her eyes suddenly became deep, revealing a brilliance like the starry sky.

a long time.

Her eyes recovered and she murmured to herself,

"...You broke your promise again, Edward."

...

Backlund.

Priscilla sat on a high chair, swinging her legs, looking a little nervous. Tonight was her first extraordinary gathering after she was "in charge" of the Aurora Club's Backlund branch.

Although she had been looking forward to it and had made preparations long ago, she was still worried about messing up.

"Phew - fortunately Brother Edward, Audrey, and Fors will all come to support me soon!"

Medici stood at the side with his arms folded and snorted contemptuously, "You're so nervous about such a small scene. What will you do when you stand in a truly high position one day?"

Priscilla thought for a moment and said, "I... better stand lower."

"…"

8pm.

The first ones to arrive were Fors and Xio. Miss Death only charged 300 pounds for helping... Although it ended up in a misunderstanding, of course Fors had to accept the favor, so she arrived early.

She also wanted to bring some friends with her, but she only knew a few friends in Backlund—and most of them were related to publishing companies; the ones she knew in Xio's place were mostly ordinary people.

As for Audrey and Viscount Glint, they will come together.

The rules of the party were no different from when Mr. A was in charge, except that the decoration style of the house had changed and the host was Priscilla.

Soon, Audrey arrived with Greylint. She immediately looked around for Edward and Lilith, but she didn't see them.

I originally wanted to ask Priscilla, but when other extraordinary people came in one after another, I gave up the idea.

Half an hour later, the room was filled with more than twenty people, most of whom were wearing clothes that covered their faces, but Audrey was sure that Edward still hadn't come.

"Is it because of something else?"

Audrey didn't think much about it.

Most of the participants were puzzled by the child sitting in the main seat, but no one raised the question:

They knew how terrible Mr. A was, and now this kid was able to take Mr. A's place in the main seat and called herself Miss D. It was obvious that she was from the same organization as Mr. A and was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

In the mysterious world, never underestimate anyone!

"Let's get started."

At this moment, Priscilla was not nervous anymore. She followed the usual procedure and asked the waiter to collect the slips of paper with words "sell" and "buy" written on them from the participants one by one, and then record them on the blackboard one by one.

The waiter would read each item aloud three times. If anyone was interested, they would secretly apply for a room and complete the transaction with the help of the waiter.

Originally, Priscilla was worried that the atmosphere would be dull, so she asked Audrey and the others to prepare and set the "rhythm" in advance. However, there was no need to do so - it had been a long time since Mr. A had last hosted a party.

There were only a few Beyonder gatherings in Backlund, and most of the wild Beyonders relied on collecting or selling things at the gatherings.

At this time, after reading a piece of paper, the waiter looked a little strange, and then wrote a paragraph on the blackboard:

"A large reward for information about an organization symbolized by tarot cards."

The three Tarot Club members present were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances, but no one spoke without permission.

As for other people, although they had heard of this organization, no one knew much about it.

Thus, this purchase request came to nothing, and the servant immediately erased the message and logged on to the next one.

Another fifteen minutes later, Priscilla spoke:

"We are entering the rest phase and can communicate freely."

Priscilla then called the waiter over, spoke a few words to him, and handed him a note.

The waiter nodded and walked straight to a man sitting in the corner with the note: "Sir, this is from Miss D."

"What?"

The man was a little surprised when he took the note. His red eyes could be vaguely seen through the veil. The note read:

"I know the intel on that organization. If you're interested, stay after the party."

After the waiter left, he nudged the person next to him with his elbow and said, "Hey, Danitz, do you think I should stay?"

"How would I know? This party is so low-class and boring. There's nothing I want to collect!"

As he said this he yawned.

Emlyn looked at him speechlessly. The last time he saw this guy, he was still at Sequence 7 like himself, but now he wanted to purchase materials to advance to Sequence 5.

Sequence 5, this is the highest sequence that most ordinary Beyonders can access. How is it possible to easily collect materials at such a gathering?

"Hey, should I stay or not?"

Emlyn hesitated, feeling that there was danger, and then thinking about the "expectations" of the First Ancestor, and became more and more conflicted.

Tonight's party was originally scheduled to end at 9 o'clock, but because there have been no parties for a few weeks, everyone's "inventory" and demand have doubled, so it was postponed for another half an hour.

At 9:30, everyone left the house one by one under the arrangement of the waiter.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, Emlyn decided to meet the mysterious Miss D after repeated and serious consideration.

Danitz originally wanted to follow, but was stopped outside the door by the waiter.

"If anything happens to you later, just yell, and I will..."

Danitz said with a smile, "I will definitely run away as soon as possible."

"…"

Emlyn gave him a middle finger.

Soon, Emlyn was led to a dim little room. Miss D sat on a sofa that was relatively large for her, holding a glass of... milk, and looked at Emlyn who came in like a little adult.

This picture... is somewhat inconsistent.

He originally thought that Miss D might be a "disabled but strong-willed" dwarf Extraordinary, but when he took a closer look, she was clearly a child!

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is an old monster pretending to be young.

"Where did you hear about the organization that uses tarot cards as its symbol?"

Emlyn had just sat down when he heard Miss D ask.

"Uh, in the newspaper, the one everyone was talking about a while ago... the Black Emperor, the Rogue Thief."

"Why are you looking for this organization?"

"…I want to join."

"Why do you want to join?"

ah?

Emlyn was stunned. How could I know why? I just followed the order of the ancestor and joined this organization, and then... and then...

"Save the world!"

He said with a serious face.

Chapter 454: Scaring Children

"…"

Priscilla was silent for a moment, "I see, wait a moment."

She put the milk down, stood up and walked into the room behind her, where Fors and Audrey were waiting.

"How about it?"

She looked at the two of them and asked.

Fors shook his head and did not comment on this.

Audrey thought for a moment and said, "I think I should know the person outside."

"Huh?"

"His name is Emlyn, and he's a vampire." Audrey said thoughtfully, "Except for some rather...unique hobbies, he's a pretty good person. Oh, by the way, it was Emlyn and his father who helped treat Dad and the others when they were poisoned last time."

Fors nodded in understanding, "Then this kind of person should be suitable to join our Tarot Club."

Audrey laughed, "Fors, you are becoming more and more aware of your role as the master."

"Ah!" She scratched her head embarrassedly.

"However, whether or not you can join the Tarot Club is not up to us. We need to consult Mr. Fool."

Priscilla was eager to try: "Then shall we pray to Mr. Fool now?"

Fors was worried: "This...isn't it a bad idea? It feels like taking the initiative."

"Right."

Audrey thought, "But he just said seriously that he wanted to save the world, so I do care."

Others may not know, but Audrey knows that the end of the world is real. Based on her previous understanding of Emlyn, someone like him should not say something like "saving the end of the world".

"I'll go pray to Mr. Fool."

She turned and left the house, walked into a living room next door, sat on the sofa and folded her hands:

"Fools who do not belong to this era,

The mysterious ruler above the gray fog,

The yellow and black king who controls good luck."

"I have something to report to you. Just now at Miss Death's party, we met a vampire who was looking for and wanted to join the Tarot Club. His name is Emlyn. He used to be a priest in the Harvest Church. He is a pretty good person."
