His heart suddenly shook, and all the fear in his heart disappeared at once. He asked in a trembling but firm tone: "It was you...you who brought me into this world, right?"

Edward really didn't expect Russell to ask this question, but he quickly figured out his inner thoughts - I have to say that Russell was a bit crazy in his early years. Could he ask a question that directly exposed his underwear to an "evil god" of unknown origin?

So, should I answer it?

Regardless of whether the answer is "yes" or "no", it will reveal your knowledge of Russell's "time travel".

Roselle regretted asking this question in a fit of rage. He quickly said, "I... I mean, did you bring me to your kingdom of God?"

Edward almost laughed out loud. You were very brave just now, so why are you trying to make up for it? So he said calmly, "No."

Russell clenched his fists, thought for a moment and asked again:

"Then may I know...how I came to your kingdom of God?"

If it was really related to the silver medal, Roselle guessed that the mysterious existence in front of him must have some connection with his own time travel.

"Of course, but I prefer an equal exchange. What are you willing to pay for me to answer your question?"

This question made Russell fall silent. Yes, what could I pay to let a being that seemed like a god answer my question? - Even though this question seemed simple.

"How about this, you help me with something?"

Here we come!

The temptation of the evil god!

Roselle's heart broke. He had heard from the bishop of the church that some evil gods used the excuse of satisfying people's wishes to corrupt people step by step, and eventually they became their believers under their control and ended up in a miserable state.

But I really want to know the answer to this question.

After a few minutes of hesitation, Russell finally compromised: "Okay. ?WeChat￠interest?Xiao*tax+net? ?Geng￠core`drunk~Quick/"

"Then the answer to your question is... you came here via a silver plate. The special symbols engraved on the silver plate will have some connection with my kingdom of God."

Really...it's that silver medal!

Russell was stunned. You know, he had never mentioned the silver medal or the special symbol from beginning to end, but the other party could say it right away.

He was silent for a long time, and then asked in a pun: "Can I go back?"

"Of course, you can go back anytime."

"…"

Edward then said calmly, "Of course, if you want to ask something else, I can only tell you... When you are promoted to an angel, you will naturally know."

Russell was shocked:

What did He mean by this?

Does He really know my identity as a time traveler?

Or did He make some kind of inference based on what I blurted out earlier, and deliberately use specious words to lure me in? - Damn evil god!

Although he thought so in his heart, he still asked:

"Why?"

Edward looked down at him and said indifferently, "Remember what I just said. I like equal exchange. If you want to ask other questions, finish the first thing you owe me."

Russell's heart was lifted again, "What should I do?"

Edward thought for a moment and said casually:

"Go to Stiano... oh, that is, the church of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery as you know it, and steal 100 Felkin from the donation box."

Chapter 477: Fighting with the Air

"???????"

Russell was completely confused.

At this moment, I was not so surprised to learn the name of the god: What's going on? This evil god actually asked me to steal money from the church?

No, why?

This time he didn't ask it out loud, because it would be another "new question".

But, you are not an evil god, you are evil, right?

"That's it."

Edward waved his hand and severed the connection with Roselle. Almost at the same time, a crimson star appeared in the depths of the gray fog that was larger and brighter than the surrounding ones. It was the one that symbolized Roselle.

Then, he felt that the Spiritual Mage and Mystic Mage potions were digested a little bit.

The arcane mage's digestion is understandable, but the spiritual mage…what's going on?

Edward thought about it carefully, and found the similarities between this operation and the previous times of digesting the potion:

Taking Bernadette out to sea to find mermaids, the first contact with Medici, the first contact with Renette, and this time the contact with Roselle, what on earth did he do to lead to the digestion of the spiritual wizard's potion?

After more than ten minutes, still nothing was found.

Rubbing his temples, he had to give up for the time being and return his thoughts to the present.

The purpose of letting Russell steal the money is actually very simple.

Many times, "crime" can grow from small to big little by little. This time it is stealing money, the next time it is stealing a piece of clothing, and the next time it is stealing or borrowing Arrodes.

As for why he was not allowed to take Arrodes right from the start, it was to prevent Roselle from returning and telling the church about what happened to him. That would arouse vigilance and lead to Arrodes being kept under close watch.

Anyway, it's just an unexpected move, and you don't necessarily have to gain anything from it.

Why.

At this time, Edward sighed softly: He felt more and more that his arrival would have no way of not affecting history, and this influence would grow with his actions! - Unless he gave up the plan to look for Lilith and hid in an uninhabited place.

No!

This trick would probably be useless in the mysterious world - according to the law of gathering of extraordinary characteristics, no matter how remote or well he hid, sooner or later someone from the Gou San family would come to his door "accidentally", "accidentally" or "by chance", thus triggering a series of events.

But then again, Lilith has lived since the earlier Quaternary Period and has continued to live into the future. Why does she seem not to have changed anything, nor left many traces (except for the diary)?

How did she do it?

In addition, if the future world is the result of my current participation, then how did I do it without leaving any traces?

Full of confusion, Edward left Sephira Castle.

...

On the other side, the Roselle family villa.

As the boundless gray fog disappeared, Russell opened his eyes in the chair in the study, and threw out the silver medal without hesitation.

His face was full of doubt, and he looked around vigilantly:

Just now, everything I encountered was...

It's true!

Roselle was filled with annoyance and fear. What did I just do? I actually exposed my identity as a time traveler to a being that looked like an evil god?

This is too stupid!

no!

If that really is an evil god, then wouldn't my current situation be extremely dangerous?

He stood up hurriedly and walked quickly towards the door.

The moment his fingers touched the handle, he hesitated and turned back to look at the silver medal on the ground. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, he walked back, picked up the silver medal, opened the door and walked out.

"Green, Edwards! Accompany me to Trier Cathedral."

Roselle was in such a hurry to go to the church, of course, not to steal money for the "evil god", but to ask the archbishop, or even the true god, to help him kill the poison - what if the guy above the gray fog just now left some hidden tricks on him.

However, he was still hesitant in his heart: Should he tell the church truthfully what happened above the gray fog?

He believed that the church would do its best to ensure his safety.

However, if the evil god above the gray fog is really related to my time travel, by doing this, will I completely cut off the possibility of contacting him again?

Damn it!

After spending so many years, he finally got promoted to a craftsman and made the silver medal. (As I write this, I realize that it took Emperor Roselle quite a few years to get promoted from a generalist to a Sequence 6 craftsman! He should have known how to act a long time ago. You say he is too lazy to act, right? He clearly has a strong desire to make the silver medal and find out the secret of time travel, but there is no talent in the mysterious world - I can only say that sleeping with women is more attractive to him than the secret of time travel)

What was waiting for me was such a big surprise.

Damn it!

...

The next two days were uneventful and nothing happened.

Over the weekend, Edward went to the Jockey Club and found that his theoretical advice was indeed a bit presumptuous.

Most of Trier's real nobles watch the horse racing in their own private boxes. If you want to meet them in the club, you have to rely on luck.

Even if I meet them, I'm afraid those guys won't even bother to look me in the eye.

So, after watching the horse racing for a while, Edward planned to go back, but he saw that Akasha, who had lost all her money, took out all the money from her brother Larder... and then lost it all again.

So she asked Edward to borrow money again, hoping to cheat and win back all the money she lost - every vampire has the ability to tame animals, but Edward decisively refused.

Do you really think that those nobles who paid thousands or tens of thousands of Felgin to bet on horses don't have any Beyonders around them? Even if they don't have any, there can't be any at the Jockey Club, right?

In the end, Akasha begged and swore that she would not use her extraordinary abilities to cheat. Edward was so annoyed that he lent her 500 Fel Gold, but as expected, nothing happened.

"That's impossible. I was secretly..."

Edward raised his eyebrows, "What did you say?"

"…"

Larde rubbed his forehead helplessly. It wasn't just one or two days that the siblings had bad luck. Akasha was just giving money away. What a sucker!

But as a younger brother, he had no way to stop it. Fortunately, it didn't cost any money to change the suit now, so it didn't matter.

...

Night is falling.

When the crimson moonlight falls, everything is silent. ·we.n·x~u\e!t¨x?t-.*c`o\m.

Edward left a transformed avatar in the bedroom and used [False Reality] before quietly disappearing and heading towards the boulevard area west of Trier.

He will hand over the "investigation results" of Villa No. 7, Rose Street to "Intis" tonight.

Although the gas lamp invented by Rossel was already popular in the central area of ​​Trier, it was still a rare thing in the remote boulevard area.

At least when Edward arrived here in the middle of the night, it was pitch black all around. Not to mention the street lights, even the residents' homes were still mainly lit by candles.

The address agreed with "Intis" was a wood in the Boulevard District, and Edward was asked to bury the letter in a tree at random - this meant that "Intis" or his subordinates were likely to be monitoring the place 24 hours a day.

So Edward transformed himself into a black puppy far away from the woods, holding a piece of letter paper folded into a small triangle, and ran into the woods. He asked it to dig a hole in a random tree and bury the letter in it, and then lifted its leg to urinate.

After doing all this, the little black dog was "free" and ran away from the woods like crazy.

Although Edward could not gain the puppy's perspective and see everything it could see, due to the [Secret Keeping] ability, if someone tried to use it to predict him, he would be the first to know.

Next, he hid in a hidden space not far from the woods, paying attention to the movements in the woods.

Two hours later, a patrol came in an orderly manner, stayed for a while at the place where the letter was buried, and then ran away quickly. There was nothing unusual in the whole process, but Edward knew that the things had been taken away by them.

"He can directly mobilize soldiers to help him do the work. Could this 'Intis' be someone in the army... or a member of the royal family of Intis?"

But if someone with this identity wants to investigate a villa, why would he need to seek help from members of the Twilight Hermits?

That's strange.

But then again, Edward didn't have any grudges with this "Intis". If he hadn't mentioned the word "underground", which made Edward think of the extraordinary characteristics of the Conqueror underground in Trier, Edward would not have been interested in him.

"Since he has asked someone to take the letter away, has the news about the 'treasure' also been left behind?"

Soon, another stray dog ​​ran into the woods, ran to the place where the letter was buried, dug the soil for a while, picked up a piece of parchment from the soil and ran away.

It ran out of the woods and went into the alleys between residential areas. After turning here and there for a while, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air and was never seen again.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

Half an hour later, Edward made sure that no one was chasing him, so he teleported with the mutt directly to a deserted island in the Rorsted Archipelago.

"Tsk, I seem a bit stupid tonight."

It seemed that Intis had never thought of locking him in this way from the beginning. The other party was simply completing an information exchange - so Edward was purely fighting wits and courage with the air.

After making sure that there was no problem with the parchment and cleaning it, Edward unfolded it and found that it was a map. In the middle of the map, a location was specially marked with a red flag, and a sentence in Intis language was attached next to it: "Danger."

Edward took out a complete map of the northern continent and compared it to the location on the parchment. He found that it was indeed located between Intis and Feynetport, as "Intis" had said at the party.

It seems to be located in a valley.

A ball of fire ignited in his palm, quickly burning the parchment into ashes. Then he used Sefirah Castle to perform a divination and disinfection on himself. Only then did Edward return to the bedroom of the villa.

"This is interesting. According to the divination on Sefirah Castle, going to the location of the treasure on the map will not only do me no harm, but will actually benefit me."

Edward was lying on the bed, sighing in amazement. "Could it be that I was misled by the 'hunter' and the 'witch' and misunderstood that 'Intis'? Is he actually a 'good man' who keeps his promises?"

He immediately laughed at himself.

He was already a demigod, yet he still naively used "good guys" and "bad guys" to distinguish other extraordinary people. Apart from Klein and the Tarot Club members influenced by him, how many extraordinary people in the mysterious world could truly be called "good guys"?

Chapter 478 The Witch and the Traveler

Anyway, I have nothing to lose.

The investigation results given to "Intis" simply stated: the new resident of the villa was an upstart from outside, suspected to be a mid-to-low-sequence Beyonder, who wanted to use this villa as a springboard to integrate into Trier's aristocratic circle, to get rid of his upstart identity and become a true aristocrat. +Micro￠Interest`Small¨tax?Wrong¨ \Chase, the most*譆+Cockroach¨Conclusion+

Although almost every sentence is "true", it is actually meaningless nonsense. I wonder if "Intis" will take any action after receiving the investigation results?

For example... another family massacre?

It would be better to let Dubois find a new place to live as soon as possible. It wouldn't matter if he was the only one in the villa, but now there are more than ten servants and slaves. If a demigod-level extraordinary person really appears, Edward will not be able to take care of so many people.

...

the next day,

As soon as the sun rose, the villa became lively.

Although the house had just been cleaned up yesterday, the servants got up early and cleaned it all over again - this was the "experience" they had learned before:

You must keep your eyes open and never let yourself be idle.

The more idle you are, the sooner you will be fired.

As a former 996 employee, Edward could deeply empathize with them. Those bosses in China could not be considered capitalists at all - capitalists only care about whether you can make money for them, but those bosses care more about their employees being treated like cattle and horses and not being idle.

"Mr. Sparrow!"

Dubois found Edward with a happy face, holding an exquisite invitation in his hand, "Tomorrow night, the Russell family will hold a cocktail party. This is the invitation."

Edward took the invitation and looked at it, then turned it over to show him with a little surprise: "Hey, the invitation specifically says that you must go as well."

"What?"

Dubois was stunned and moved closer, "Why would Matilda..."

He reacted immediately and said angrily: "It must be that bastard Russell. He...he just wanted to laugh at me at the party."

"So what are you going to do? Are you going?"

"Go! Of course I'll go! At worst... I'll just go crazy at the party!"

"Cough cough cough!"

Edward immediately coughed a few times, "Don't forget, you will go there as my butler. If you don't have shame, I still have it."

"…"

"Hey Dubois, I forgot to ask you last time." Edward said with a gossipy look, "What is your relationship with Matilda? How could she help you even though she knew that you and Russell had a bad relationship? It's not that you and her..."

"!!!"

Dubois quickly denied it, "Of course not! The reason she helped me was actually because of Russell."

"oh?"

He sighed, "Being able to marry Matilda is a blessing for that bastard Roselle. She knows that I was once barely Roselle's only 'friend'. She also witnessed the changes in Roselle after he came to Trier."

"She always felt that although Roselle looked glamorous now, not only had he become the 'Son of Steam' that the church valued, but he had also become a celebrity among the nobles with his various inventions, he was actually lonely and unhappy."

"But, as a woman, she didn't know how to help her husband, so she thought... as Roselle's former friend, maybe I could do something, so she never gave up on getting me and Roselle back together."

Du Bois's words made Edward silent for a moment.

Matilda was occasionally mentioned in Roselle's diary, but it was mostly just a name that symbolized his wife. Her personality and preferences were all unknown, as if she was just an NPC with a name.

But in fact, she is a living person, the wife who has been with Emperor Roselle for decades.

As one of Roselle's closest people, although she may not understand Roselle, she must be the first person who can feel Roselle's emotions and mood changes.

And she has been trying to use her own methods... to help her husband.

Dubois continued, "Unfortunately, she overestimated me. As I have just emphasized, I may have been Russell's 'former' friend, but since he became a Beyonder, I found that this 'friend' suddenly became a stranger. I also found that my previous understanding of him seemed to be wrong."

"But sometimes I wonder why he has always pretended to be someone else and been friends with me over the years. Sometimes, I start to wonder if his change is caused by becoming a Beyonder."

"To be honest, Mr. Sparrow, I refused to become a Beyonder because I was afraid of this."

Edward nodded without saying anything - Russell's change was actually very simple, because another soul was replaced in his body.

"I understand. Anyway, please restrain yourself and don't delay the party tomorrow night."

"It all depends on Russell."

"Oh, by the way, how's the search for a new house going?"

"We have already contacted one and will go to negotiate this afternoon."

"Okay, as soon as possible."

Edward knocked on the table and said, "This villa is indeed not very safe."

Dubois's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean by unsafe?"

"Just what you think, insecurity in the occult."

His expression was stern: "I'll go and urge them right away."

...

Future time and space, 1349.

Simim Island.

Klein followed the crowd and stepped onto the island.

Last night, Admiral Amyrius finally rushed back. Faced with the series of "news" that Klein told him, this admiral, who was usually calm in the face of adversity, was stunned for a long time.

His mistress disappeared.

Had a falling out with Aquaman Courtman.

A tsunami disaster broke out outside Blue Mountain Island.

An angel-level battle broke out on Blue Mountain Island.

There are several pieces of news, each one more explosive than the other.

But it must be said that these things really had little to do with Klein, who was impersonating him. To be precise, he helped him a lot - after the battle broke out, Klein issued multiple orders in his own name, quickly calmed the people, organized rescue, and minimized the losses.

So, after a long silence, Admiral Amyrius' first words were: "Are you interested in coming to the Governor's Mansion to help me? I can promise that within 10 years, you will be able to take my place."

Klein was very moved and refused.

After bidding farewell to Admiral Amyrius, he rushed to Simim Island as soon as possible.

After Edward disappeared, he had been trying to find him until he received the news from the Poseidon Cult yesterday morning.

In recent days, there has been a legend circulating on the island of Simim that there is a witch who can fulfill people's wishes. This legend should have first appeared a week or two ago. After further investigation, Klein was basically certain that the legend of the witch was originally directed by Edward to help Lilith play the role of a "witch."

However, Edward and Lilith have been missing for more than a week. Why has the legend of witches on Simim Island become more and more intense in recent days?

Is there someone else taking advantage of this legend to cause trouble, or are Lilith and Edward hiding on Simim Island?

So, with doubts in his mind, Klein came over.
