"Let's settle down here first. Chapter 38: Reading a book. Lost* ? Chasing ¨ Drunk? Xin~ Chapter-End*"

"I see."

At this time, the blurry figure said: "Arrodes, do you know where the remaining Intis brass pillars are?"

The mirror surface immediately flashed with a faint light, followed by a strange flash of water, which brought together seven scenes:

A man in knight's clothes inserted brass sticks into the ground in different places. Some were covered with mud, some were restored with mechanisms, and some were hidden with seals.

Then the picture of each scene moves upwards, showing the surrounding environment of different locations.

After a moment, the image in the mirror quickly faded. Then, blood-red words appeared on the mirror:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions. If you lie or cannot answer, you will accept the task I assign or be punished."

"Can you really lead me to my great master?"

The blurry figure in the mirror smiled and said, "Of course."

...

Edward finished his dinner and walked around the garden to digest his food, thinking about Arrodes:

Why didn't the church make sure to lend Arrodes to Roselle? If even Roselle couldn't get Arrodes, then how else could he get in touch with it?

Go directly to the church to rob?

If you know its exact location, you might as well give it a try.

But rushing into the church to look for her without knowing anything, do you really think Steam Girl is a vegetarian?

There is another way...

He couldn't help but think of the serial murder case committed by the demon family in the future. Could they also imitate it by creating a series of events so that the Mechanical Heart would have to ask Arrodes to assist in the investigation?

However, even though the assassination of Earl Clear was such a serious case, Arrodes was not "called out" in the end. How serious a crime would I have committed... If two or three angels were really attracted by that, wouldn't I be doomed?

Thinking of this, Edward suddenly felt at a loss.

Since he came here two hundred years ago, the biggest motivation that supported him was to find Lilith, and in order to find Lilith, borrowing Arrodes was the best and safest way, so he had the series of actions later.

However, now he suddenly realized that Arrodes's path might not work, and for a moment he really didn't know what to do next.

Bang!

After a while, Edward patted his forehead, "Edward, Edward, what are you thinking about."

"Even if we really find Lilith, it's only the first step. Don't forget that Lilith has at least three enemies, one god and two angel kings. Without sufficient strength, can we protect her even if we find her?"

"Now the two Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 3 are nowhere to be found. Instead of being pretentious here, it is better to think of a way to get Beyonder characteristics as soon as possible."

Besides, everything about Arrodes is just speculation without any basis. Who knows... when Roselle comes back, the church will really find him.

Thinking of this, Edward felt a little relieved.

It's the same old saying.

Let's take it one step at a time.

…

That night, he went to bed early and even had a sweet dream. In the dream, he found Lilith and spent nearly two hundred years peacefully with her, until he met Audrey in the future.

Then, he single-handedly helped Klein ascend to the position of Lord of Mysteries, letting him fight the Outer Gods in the front, while he stayed in the rear and lived a peaceful life with Audrey and Lilith.

On this day, Audrey wore a white wedding dress and walked towards him happily. Susie followed behind him wearing a beautiful dress and holding a flower basket in her mouth. Lilith walked beside him and scattered flowers.

Seeing them getting closer and closer, Edward reached out his hand to Audrey and held her white little hand...

Suddenly, a vague noise sounded in my ears:

"O eternal ruler of the dimension,

"The Deconstructor of the Endless Story,

"Transcendence of the past and the future."

Edward opened his eyes suddenly and found himself still lying on the bed. Everything that just happened was just a dream. The sudden awakening made him a little dazed for a moment and his mood became emo.

After a moment, he started to curse: "...Damn it, I want to see who is looking for me in the middle of the night again!"

He jumped off the bed and quickly logged into the Source Castle. At a glance, he saw the star that symbolized Roselle flickering in the depths of the gray fog.

Didn't this guy just set out?

Edward frowned, injected spirituality into him to establish a connection, and directly pulled Roselle up to the Source Castle.

"Good evening, Your Excellency."

Russell bowed slightly.

"Um."

"I have completed what you asked me to do last time."

He subconsciously raised his hand to show, "I have successfully obtained a sealed object from the church."

Seeing that Edward didn't say anything, Roselle continued to explain: "I borrowed a seal from the church on the grounds that it was too dangerous to sail on the sea. Of course, although it was a loan, as long as I say I lost it at sea, the church won't really ask me to return it."

"Sir, have I completed your mission?"

Edward held his chin, as if thinking for a while: "Forget it."

"So, you want to use this mission to gain my protection?"

"certainly!"

Roselle quickly shook his head, "But... in addition to protecting me, I also hope that you can protect my family: my wife and daughter."

"Today, I sailed to the sea. In the next few months, I will probably have a hard time returning. Although the church promised to protect my wife and daughter, I still don't feel reassured, so..."

Roselle's request was quite unexpected to Edward, but his tone became cold: "Roselle Gustav, did you misunderstand something? The shelter I mentioned is just a one-time move."

"…"

He forced a smile and said, "That... is enough. Thank you, sir."

"Um."

Roselle bowed again, "Then I will go back."

Edward frowned. Russell didn't ask any new questions or requests?

Did I stop talking in time because I knew that the next part was the "main event"? Or did I just keep silent because I knew that I couldn't complete my next "task" after going out to sea?

But it didn't matter. Given Arrodes' current situation, there was no need to expect him to steal from the church.

In this case, let's change the way we play.

"Roselle Gustav."

"exist."

Edward held out his hand and said, "Please choose a chair on the left side of the round table and sit down."

"OK."

Although he was doubtful, Russell still did as he was told.

"I occasionally host some fun gatherings here, and two members have participated before you, and each had a satisfactory experience."

"From now on, you are the third member of the party, and when the opportunity is right, I will host another party."

Roselle's heart skipped a beat, but he still said, "Thank you, Mystic Sir."

Edward said nothing more and cut off contact with him.

...

On the other side, Russell returned to the captain's room, picked up a glass of wine on the table and poured it into his mouth, and the heat in his heart eased a little.

"As expected, the evil god is the evil god. It's not so easy to take advantage of him."

I don't know what the gathering He was talking about is. Russell didn't believe the so-called "satisfactory experience" of the other two members.

Oh, I should have continued asking questions honestly. Anyway, I have already gone out to sea. Even if He really wants a seal of the church, I will be powerless for at least the next few months.

Thinking of this, he filled another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Green."

He shouted outside, and soon Green, dressed as an adventurer, knocked on the door and walked in. "What's the matter, sir?"

"I told you guys to call me Captain! You're still a sailor, how can you be so unprofessional?"

Green shrugged helplessly, "Okay Captain."

"Tell the brothers to rest when they need to. I'm not in such a hurry. There's no need to travel day and night."

"I see."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Green saluted, closed the door and left.

Boom boom boom.

But then the wooden door was knocked again, "Come in."

The person who pushed the door open was not Roselle's four knights, or even anyone on the ship, but Zaratul in a black robe.

Roselle stood up suddenly, "Zaratul!"

Chapter 512 Audrey Investigates Klein

"Good evening, Russell."

Zaratul returned to his usual calm and mysterious self.

Russell brought an empty glass and poured him a glass of wine. "What happened that night? Who was that person wearing a monocle?"

"Amon."

When this name was mentioned, Zaratul's pupils fluctuated slightly. "That was an extremely terrifying existence. You should be thankful that He had no interest in you at that time."

"Uh, scary?"

Russell recalled: Yeah! Zaratul was quite scared at that time!

Zaratul said calmly: "What he came with was just a clone. If it was the real body, even if I could escape, I might have to pay a heavy price.

Okay, I know you are very afraid of that Amon.

After mumbling something in his mind, Russell said, "So why are you here tonight..."

"Why do you want to go out to sea suddenly?"

"Why else? I'm tired of staying in Intis. I've wanted to see the other side of this world for a long time. I was either lazy or didn't have the chance before. But my application to become an officer in the army has been approved. I know that if I don't go out to sea, I really won't have time next time."

Zaratul asked, "Is it really that busy for an army officer?"

Russell smiled but said nothing.

In fact, Roselle's "experience" in dealing with the evil god above the gray fog came from his interactions with Zaratul. Roselle knew very well that this angel who took the initiative to come to him and teach him all kinds of precious knowledge must have other intentions towards him.

And it is very likely that I am the only one who can help Him with this matter.

However, the difference from facing the evil god is that Roselle can take more initiative before the matter is accomplished.

"That's perfect, Zaratul. You've lived for so many years, so you should know a lot about the sea. Do you have any sailing experience, rumors or secrets about the sea? Please teach me a little bit."

Zaratul thought for a moment and said, "Are you going to the easternmost ruins of the God War?"

"Of course."

"You know that you have to sleep when it gets dark there?"

"I've heard of it. I've already bought the medicine in advance. I'll just drink it and fall asleep when the time comes."

"That corpse that makes a loud gasping sound, and the chariot pulled by two golden horses..."

Zaratul listed some of the possible dangers in the God War Ruins. Some of them Russell had heard Edward mention, but many of them were also the first time he heard of them.

Russell was shocked after hearing this, "There are so many dangers there?"

"What do you think of this battlefield where the gods once stood?"

"God…"

Roselle scratched his head and said, "Zaratul, have you ever heard of such a god who lives above the gray fog?"

"Above the gray fog?"

Zaratul's expression did not change, and he asked calmly, "Where did you hear about this?"

At this moment, he suddenly understood something. He originally thought that Amon was coming for him, but he was still worried about the Antigonus Notebook. He was still a long way from being promoted to Sequence 1, so how could he deserve to be targeted by Amon?

If... it's for something like that, then it makes sense.

"I... saw it by accident."

Knowing that Zaratul could tell fortunes, Roselle told him the truth.

"In Trier?"

"right."

Zaratul's heart suddenly felt hot. If it was really that thing, he couldn't help but be moved.

But he quickly thought of something, "You said, there is a god above the gray fog?"

"yes."

Zaratul frowned and decided to stay calm for now. At this stage, it was more important to obtain the Antigonus Notebook and advance to Sequence 1.

"By the way, if you come back to Trier during my long voyage, please help look after my family."

Zaratul said frankly: "I probably won't be going back to Trier in the short term."

"…"

This old guy is too cowardly.

I don't know how such a person could be promoted to an angel?

"All right."

Roselle stretched out his hand, "Do you have any life-saving seals? Give me eight or ten at random, so that I won't die in any corner this time.,Delete.8·Read the book! ?Has been published-the most refreshing and clean"

Zaratul had long been accustomed to his way of speaking, so he took out a paper figure from his pocket and handed it over: "This paper figure substitute can take the responsibility for you when you are fatally injured."

Russell's eyes lit up and he took it. This was a good thing.

"But please note that it can only be used once a day. If you use it more than once, it will be completely destroyed. If you do not use it more than once, it will be restored the next day."

"The negative effect is that as you spend more and more time with it, your connection with it will become closer and closer, and in the end, you will become a substitute for it to bear the harm."

Russell smiled and said, "This is easy. As long as I..."

Zaratul interrupted, "If you want to get it back by handing it over to someone else, unfortunately that won't work. The time is accumulated on the basis of the previous time."

"…"

Russell curled his lips.

"Well, I hope your trip goes smoothly. Goodbye."

After saying this, Zaratul disappeared.

Roselle looked at the place where He disappeared and drank another sip of wine quietly: Zaratul seemed to react calmly when I mentioned the gods above the gray fog, but a few questions revealed His concern for this...

Could it be that Zaratul also knew about the evil god above the gray fog?

...

In the future year 1349, the Hall family's luxurious villa.

It has been three days since Alfred returned.

When he first came back, he was of course warmly welcomed by his parents, just like a college student in the first few days after returning home from summer vacation.

But when he once again expressed his "opposition to this marriage", he discovered that the attitude of everyone, including his parents, towards him suddenly changed.

This feeling made Alfred feel a little unfamiliar with this family: I am your son, I am your elder brother, why should I side with an outsider - especially that person is German Sparrow, who is notorious on the sea.

Well, notoriety or not, Alfred doesn't really care. He is just simply unhappy about being disgusted by that guy twice.

Early in the morning, sister Audrey and father went out one after another. Alfred found Hibbert who was studying law on his own and asked, "Hibbert, tell me honestly, what did Edward do to make you like him so much?"

Hibbert closed the book and smiled: "Then why don't you tell me first, what did he do to you that made you dislike him so much?"

"He...he did so many bad things on the sea that he is still wanted by the Church of Storms. Humph, if I hadn't helped to intercede for him later, even Rune would still be wanted for him."

Hibbert nodded. "That's the problem. You were able to speak up for him and get Bayam to cancel the wanted order, but you still showed such strong disgust. There is only one reason... that is, you have a personal grudge against him."

"…"

After a moment's silence, Alfred said, "Alright, I admit it! I did suffer at his hands, twice! I just don't like him, alright."

Hibbert looked at him and said, "The man who saved Dad twice was Edward."

"Of course, this is just because Mom and Dad trust him. The reason why they support Audrey to be with him is even simpler, because... Audrey likes him."

Alfred: "…"

While the two brothers were discussing, Audrey brought Susie quietly to Tingen City.

"This place is much smaller than Backlund, Audrey."

Susie looked at the houses on both sides of the street curiously.

"Different cities have different architectural styles. In fact, Backlund also has this kind of houses, but they are mainly concentrated in the East District and the Dock District. You rarely go to those places, so naturally you won't see them."

"Oh~"

Susie wagged her tail, looking very happy, "Why did we come to Tingen, Audrey?"

"Well, I have some questions I want answered."

"What?"

"I can't tell you yet."

"All right."

She wasn't disappointed either.

Soon, the man and the dog arrived at No. 2 Narcissus Street.

At this time, Klein's brother Benson should be at work, but Melissa should have returned home.

Boom boom boom.

Audrey knocked on the wooden door gently, and soon Melissa's voice came from inside: "I'm here."

With the sound of footsteps, the door was opened from the inside, and Melissa popped her head out wearing a monocle. "Benson, it's so early today...huh?"

She was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Ms. Audrey? Ah, why are you here?"

Melissa quickly took off her glasses and looked outside. "Is Klein back too?"

"No, no, I came here alone today."

"Oh, well, come in."

Melissa was a little disappointed and quickly welcomed Audrey in.

"This is my friend, Susie."

"Hello Susie."

Susie: "Hello, Melissa."

Melissa: "…"

The dog...spoke!

Although she had learned about it last time, Melissa was still shocked when she actually saw a talking dog.

After entering the house, Melissa skillfully made a cup of coffee for Audrey, then hesitated for a few seconds and made a cup for Susie. Susie immediately wagged her tail happily again.

"Ms. Audrey, what brings you here today?"

Audrey took a sip of coffee and said, "It's nothing important, I just want to ask you something."
