Bernadette muttered and repeated, "I still don't..."

She suddenly found herself back in the bedroom, and everything she had just seen disappeared.

"Gone?"

She waited patiently for a few more minutes, dropped the little mermaid doll, ran to the desk, took out a Hermetic dictionary that she had asked her father for, and quickly flipped through it.

After a while, she frowned and closed the dictionary - she didn't understand the meaning of those three sentences.

Although Bernadette is very smart, she is only 6 years old after all. She had only come into contact with Hermetic because she saw her father often speaking this language mysteriously, purely out of curiosity.

But after studying for a while, I felt bored and threw the dictionary aside.

"Dad said that this language is... a mysterious language that is used when using some magical abilities. So are the three sentences that the man asked me to recite also using some magical abilities?"

"He said it was... a spell used to contact him. Is that true?"

Bernadette held her chin and thought for a while.

"Go ask Uncle Edwards. He likes to teach others."

...

Edward withdrew the spiritual power that maintained the [false reality], and began to walk four steps backwards to enter the Source Castle.

What comes into view is still the boundless gray-white fog, and the deep red "stars" are sometimes far away and sometimes near, but compared to before, one of the extremely small "stars" is constantly shrinking and expanding, not by much, but with persistence.

Edward released his spirituality, which spread towards the deep red.

As soon as the two came into contact, his mind suddenly buzzed, and he saw a blurry and distorted picture and heard an illusory and overlapping prayer:

"The eternal master of dimensions, the deconstructor of endless stories, the transcendent of past and future."

As Bernadette's crisp voice continued to echo, the blurry picture in the depths of the gray fog gradually became clear. It was little Bernadette in a small skirt, with long and soft chestnut hair. With a puzzled and puzzled look on her face, she recited these three prayers intermittently.

"It really worked."

As expected, standing on the shoulders of "predecessors", it becomes so easy to get things done.

Then, not only can he log into Sefirah Castle and use its power, he can also use Sefirah Castle's blessing on his personality and point to himself through the three-part prayer words that only gods have... and he can see and hear the prayers of "believers" in Sefirah Castle, and even respond to them.

Can the Tarot Club really open two hundred years earlier?

Edward smiled:

"Forget it. Let Klein do this groundbreaking feat."

Even if I have to use Sefirah Castle to cause trouble, I should at least change the way I do it.

As Edward's fingers tapped lightly on the bronze tabletop, the long bronze table turned into gray mist and dissipated, transforming into a huge round table with twelve bronze chairs surrounding one side of the table.

Around the magnificent and ancient giant palace, the gray mist quickly receded, and trees, flowers and plants grew one after another. It was seen that the place was transformed from a barren land into a vibrant secret garden.

Even if Klein came, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize that this was above his gray fog.

"Now that I have Sefirah Castle, I should be able to do more in this time and space. My next short-term goal is to find a way to infiltrate the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and find Adros."

Chapter 460: The Imprisoned

Edward severed the connection between his spirit and Sefirah Castle and returned to the hotel.

After resting for half an hour, he came to the busiest street nearby and started shopping and eating, just like when he first arrived in Backlund.

I eat, eat, eat, and do 360-degree spins while eating and eating.

Although Emperor Roselle disliked the food of Intis, there were still many special delicacies, such as onion bread, baked snails, and apple sour wine.

The taste is pretty good. The rest is actually similar to Rune, that is, various steaks, lamb chops, and pork chops. No matter how they are cooked, they all taste the same. \b!i·q￠i¨z*w¨w?.*c^o!m¨

Compared to Backlund, Trier is bright and bright at night, and many people come out to go shopping and enjoy delicious food. It looks a bit like the future.

It has to be said that the arrival of the emperor has indeed brought tremendous changes to the world.

"It's time to go home."

Edward burped and stood up from the stall. At this moment, his mind moved and he felt something:

Someone is using the Pinocchio doll that he gave to Bernadette to tell fortunes for himself.

As an extraordinary person who can tell fortunes, Edward would naturally not forget that things that have passed through his hands would be told fortunes when he gave them away, and the secret wizard's [Secret Keeping] could solve this problem very well.

[Keeping secrets] does not just mean keeping secrets literally, but also means that anything related to "secret" can be kept secret, which of course includes anti-divination.

He wiped his mouth, walked into the crowd of passers-by, and his figure disappeared.

...

The Russell family villa.

A middle-aged man in a black robe was doing dream divination with a Pinocchio doll, but as he entered the dream, all he saw was darkness.

Just when he thought his divination had failed, the darkness suddenly turned bright again, and a wooden doll suddenly appeared, staring at him with a weird smile, then jumped up and pounced on him.

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his dream. Russell's voice came from the side: "Mr. Adolf, are you okay?"

"I didn't..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a hot current under his nose. He reached out and touched it, and it was bright red blood.

The middle-aged man Adolf shook his head and wiped the blood from his nose: "It's okay, it's just that the divination backfired."

"Backlash? But you are a Sequence 5 fortune teller."

Adolf said seriously, "So the owner of this thing is at least a demigod." He frowned slightly, "Mr. Russell, have you provoked anyone recently?"

"Me? No?"

Roselle flatly denied it. "Everyone in Trier knows that I, Roselle, am a kind person and I love making friends. As long as you don't provoke me, I have a good relationship with everyone..."

After saying the last sentence, he suddenly felt a little unconfident - he was a little too kind and climbed directly into the other woman's bed.

No way!

Could it be that because of these romantic affairs, people hold a grudge against me and specifically sent a demigod to deal with me?

No, this puppet is clearly involved in the affairs of another time traveler. It has nothing to do with my romantic affairs. I was led astray by this Adolf.

Adolf naturally noticed the change in his expression, "It seems that Mr. Russell has thought of something."

"this..."

Roselle was numb, "Ahem, when can Zaratul come over?"

"The leader's whereabouts have always been elusive, and we don't know either."

"Then...can I ask the demigods of your secret order to help me?"

"I can go back and ask for you." Adolf shrugged, "But you also know that the members of the secret society basically follow the will of the leader. After all, there are only a few people like me who can go out and walk around freely. So, I still suggest you ask the church for help. They will definitely protect you."

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Adolf."

After saying that, a stiff-moving man came over, grabbed Adolf's arm, and the two disappeared together.

"Tsk, the fortune teller's path has reached the middle and high sequence, how weird."

Roselle praised, then looked down at the Pinocchio puppet in his hand, "If that doesn't work, we can only ask the church for help."

At this moment, the puppet suddenly twisted. Russell threw it away quickly, and then watched it turn into a wooden stick.

"What the hell?"

He rushed forward, staring at the stick and began to worry: "This is troublesome. What shall I give back to Bernadette later?"

"Green! Quick, quick, help me contact a reliable carpenter!"

Roselle scratched his head and said, "Ah, if I were a craftsman now, I could make one myself..."

The promotion process needs to be accelerated.

"Let's go! To Trier Cathedral."

...

Nothing happened overnight.

Edward spent another peaceful night in Trier two hundred years ago. There was no kitten Lilith parkouring late at night, no human Lilith sticking by his side, and no Audrey saying good morning to him with a hearty breakfast.

He was the only one who woke up from the bed. He felt dizzy and didn't know where or when he was.

He leaned against the window for a while, and suddenly snapped his fingers lightly.

The next moment, he was back in the small villa in Queens. Lilith ran in excitedly with a big rat in one hand: "Edward, look at the rat I caught last night! I'll make you rat soup later!"

She raised her chin happily: "Ms. Lilith told you a long time ago that mice are the most delicious thing in the world. It's just that you don't know how to appreciate them."

A slender white hand stretched out from the leather pocket, and Audrey shouted, "Edward, open the door."

The leather bag opened, and she came out holding a large plate filled with various snacks, fruits, and delicacies. She put the things down and waved to Edward, "Don't just stand there, come and have breakfast with us."

Susie followed behind her, wagging her tail happily, "Lilith, let's go out and play after breakfast."

"Okay~"

Edward walked over and stared at their faces for a long time, and finally, he closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again and found himself back in Trier's room two hundred years ago.

"As expected of this [false reality], even someone like me who uses my ability can easily get caught up in it if I'm not careful."

Unfortunately, it is false after all.

However, the looseness of the Spiritual Mage's potion was a pleasant surprise. Is it possible to digest the potion by deceiving oneself?

After washing up, Edward did not go out, but lay on the terrace to bask in the sun.

(In terms of time) Today is the day to return to the world of Harry Potter.

Although [Home] cannot find and return to the Harry Potter world, I wonder if such a forced return will bring any "unexpected surprises".

...

Future time and space, 1349.

Backlund, the luxurious villa of Count Hall's family.

Today is the day to return to Hogwarts, but there is still no news about Edward. -Xiao?tax￠C\MS￠ ^New chapter/section of "Crime" has been published?

Yesterday, she took Susie to visit the angel senior at Dr. Allen's house, but the other party knew very little about Edward's current condition.

A few days ago, Edward was hunted down by several demigods and angels from the Rose School on Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was, and he also incurred the wrath of the god Lord of Storms.

Fortunately, with the help of "multi-party collaboration" at the last minute, Edward survived the crisis safely and killed and injured the demigods and angels of the Rose School, but he himself disappeared inexplicably.

"I can no longer see any trace of his fate."

Will ate the ice cream that Audrey brought, frowning with a puzzled look on his face: "But the trace of Lilith you mentioned did not disappear... To be precise, it disappeared for a short time and then reappeared."

"Her situation is different from Edward's. I don't know if you can understand. Although I don't know where both of them are, I am sure that Lilith exists somewhere, but Edward disappeared out of thin air."

"This kind of disappearance... is like death, but it is different from death. I don't understand. I really don't understand."

Will shook his head and sighed, "As the end of the world approaches, the fate of this world becomes more and more confusing, and what I can see becomes more and more blurred. Even things about myself have become a little uncertain."

"So, I probably can't help you, Miss Ice Cream."

Recalling the conversation with the senior, Audrey frowned and thought: "Edward's disappearance... seems a bit like disappearing from this world. So under what circumstances would one disappear from this world?"

Except death...

And back to Hogwarts?!

She suddenly thought of something. "Yes! When Edward was promoted to Sequence 5, he gained an ability called [Home], which can instantly return the soul (spirit) to four special coordinates."

"So Edward's disappearance might be because he gave up his body and used [Destination] in order to avoid the wrath of that god. So he might have returned to Hogwarts now!"

Now, it makes sense!

Just as Audrey was feeling a little relieved, new questions popped up:

But, if he can use [Home] to return to Hogwarts, he can also use [Home] to return to our world. Is he worried that the god is chasing him, so he hasn't come back yet?

Besides, when he returned to Hogwarts, the time in my world should have stopped, so no matter how long he was delayed, it should only be a moment for me. ~罗?拉+小-税, ^蕞?新?彰′结*啾*辛^剁+

Also, although Edward can [return home], Lilith cannot. How did she disappear at that time and avoid the wrath of that god?

Each question gave Audrey a headache.

Susie came closer, wagging her tail, "Audrey, don't worry, Edward and Lilith will be fine."

"Um."

Audrey nodded and gently touched her head, "It will be fine!"

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

As the pendulum clock rang five times, the time came to 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Audrey raised her head and looked out the window, her finger joints turning white:

"Edward, please be alright!"

...

1160 years of time and space.

After five bells rang, Edward was still in his hotel in Trier.

He did not return to the Harry Potter world.

He is still trapped in this time and space.

Although he had expected this, he still couldn't accept it to some extent.

Edward suddenly thought of the last sentence of the three-part poem he had given himself yesterday, "Transcendent of the Past and the Future," and couldn't help but laugh at himself:

What a transcendent person.

He is obviously a prisoner who has no choice.

Chapter 461: The River of Eternal Darkness 200 Years Ago

"call--"

After a while, he exhaled the turbid air in his chest and shook himself off.

Next, I can really stay in this time and space, play the role of digestion, and look for Lilith - oh, and search for two Sequence 3 Beyonder Characteristics (potions).

As for the Wanderer's extraordinary characteristics (potions), you may have to look for Abraham at this stage; as for the Dreamweaver... look for the Psychological Alchemist? The Psychic Dragon? Or the Russian priest? ——None of them are easy.

It is difficult enough for ordinary people to obtain a potion to advance to Sequence 3, but I actually want to double it - there is really no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want to enjoy the power brought by dual channels, you have to bear the difficulties of digesting and advancing through dual channels. \Qi! Sheng· Xiao. Tax_Net, .Wu! Error/Content?

That's fair.

Half an hour later, Edward retreated to his hotel room.

Next, he would definitely settle down in this era for a long time and it would be impossible for him to live in a hotel all the time, so he would first have to rent or buy a house.

The rented house is related to his next plan.

In this era, if you want to rent a house, you either have to go door to door and ask, or find a house rental dealer who specializes in renting houses and ask them to take you to rent a house - in fact, the house rental dealer is an intermediary, but it is private, unlike in the future when every city will have an official rental agency.

Edward changed his appearance, making his face mature and three-dimensional, and grew hard black stubble on his upper lip and chin, becoming a middle-aged gentleman in his thirties. He then took a carriage to the market area in the south of Trier.

As soon as he entered the dental office, several dental dealers surrounded him and enthusiastically recommended houses in various areas to Edward with maps of Trier. Most of them were located in relatively peripheral areas.

"Stop, stop, stop. Who has a house in the Opera House area, the Observatory area, or the Memorial Hall area? It doesn't matter if it's a duplex or a single-family house."

Several dentists immediately lost interest. The opera district was located in the core of Trier, and all the people who lived there were either rich or powerful. These people would only sell their houses when they were bankrupt or down and out - and then their houses would soon be bought out by other wealthy people.

Therefore, there are very few houses available for rent.

"No? Not even one?"

Several dental dealers discussed for a while, and one of them replied: "Dear sir, there are certainly houses for rent or sale in the opera district, but those houses are generally only circulated among the nobles, and we dental dealers will not get them."

"Yes, in fact, you can really consider houses in the nearby areas. They are not that far away."

Edward thought for a moment and said, "I still want to look for houses in those areas first. If you don't have any here, I'll ask others."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"etc!"

A dentist with a mustache suddenly thought of something. "I remember that there is actually a villa in the opera house area that has been vacant for a long time. It was just vacated two months ago."

"Which one? You mean that one...but..."

The man with the mustache immediately ran forward and showed Edward the map. "Dear sir, this house is located to the west of the opera house area. The surrounding environment is very quiet. If you don't like being disturbed by others, this is the right place to choose."

Edward raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with this house?"

"Well, someone has died there. Hey, which old house in Trier hasn't had someone die there? It's no big deal. The main thing is that it's cheap enough. It only costs 1 Felgin a week, which is much cheaper than other houses of the same price."

Tsk, judging from the situation, we have encountered a haunted house.

Edward didn't care. With his current strength, he was confident that he could escape even if he encountered a "ghost" like Medici.

"Okay, take me there."

The mustachioed tooth merchant quickly found a carriage and drove Edward towards the opera district. Along the way, he did his best to talk about how good the house was and how cost-effective it was to rent. It was obvious that he wanted to make this deal very much.

"You are not from Trier, sir?"

The man with the mustache asked cautiously, "You may not know that the man called the Son of Steam, Roselle, lives in the Opera District... Although it is a bit far from the room you want to see, it is still the same district after all, so you can be considered neighbors."

Edward smiled. "Neighbors a dozen blocks away?"

"Oh, this…"

In fact, Edward's purpose of living in the opera district was very simple. On the one hand, it was simply to try his luck. If Lilith really came to contact Roselle, then living closer would at least increase the possibility of meeting her.

On the other hand, he planned to copy the experience of Klein's future incarnation Dwayne Dantes, first becoming a noble, then finding a way to establish a good relationship with the church, and then looking for an opportunity to borrow Arrodes through formal channels - after all, he only needed to ask Arrodes a few questions, not to steal it.

More than half an hour later, the carriage arrived at No. 7 Rose Street, in front of a slightly desolate villa. This villa was much larger than the one Edward had lived in in the Queens District of Backlund. It not only had an independent garden, but also had a special servant's room.

But judging from the garden and the walls, although no one lives here, someone still maintains and takes care of it regularly. This is normal. If such an old house is not maintained, it will be completely abandoned in a short time, and then it will really have no value at all.

"These rooms are for servants and slaves... that one is a tool shed... and there's..."

As soon as they entered the yard, the man with the moustache began to introduce Edward skillfully. After walking around the villa, they came to the main entrance.

The mustache-wearing merchant plucked up his courage, took out the key and opened the oak door. As he pushed it open, the door made a creaking sound and a musty smell mixed with dust blew in his face.

Since the door was open, the dental dealer was no longer afraid. He walked in quickly and opened all the windows, while introducing: "Sir, I have repeated the advantages of this house to you many times on the way just now. Its only disadvantage is that the previous resident was murdered inside, so those rich people certainly don't want to live here, and those who don't have money can't afford it either."

"But I swear, the quality of this house is really high."

Edward simply walked around the house, feeling inexplicably sad again. If Lilith were here, she would surely be running around the house, running up and down out of curiosity.

He activated his psychic vision to confirm that there were no evil spirits in the house, and after a divination to confirm that there was no problem, he said to the mustache, "Okay, this is it, let's sign the contract."

An excited smile suddenly appeared on the mustache man's face. "Okay, okay, I've prepared the contract. Originally, the owner of the house should have signed the contract with you, but he has entrusted the house to our firm. You just need to sign here."

Edward took the pen and took out a piece of white paper (Confusion Spell - Identification) and handed it to the dentist, then signed his name: "Klein Sparrow."

When you are out there, your identity is given by yourself.

Edward paid half a year's rent in one go and sent the dentist away, thanking him repeatedly.

"The whirlwind swept away everything and cleaned it up."

He cast several cleaning spells in succession to clean up this house that had not been lived in for a long time, and then used magic to transform the old and depressing decoration in the house into what he liked - the overall look was very similar to a small villa in Queens.

With Edward's current strength, this large-scale transformation that only involves ordinary objects can be maintained for a very long time.

"Let's go out for a meal, then you can rest today, and then go to the newspaper office later."

He got dressed and was about to go out when he suddenly thought of something:

"Oh, I've always wanted to try out the effects of [Home], but I forgot about it because I was so busy. Now that I have some free time, I'll give it a try."

Four special coordinates,

Going to the astral realm is like walking into a trap.

The collective subconscious ocean has the back-up of the dragon king.

I can't go to Harry Potter World again.

Therefore, the only place he could go was the city of Calderon in the spiritual world. Although there would be certain dangers without Phoenix, he was sure that he could evacuate in time.
