What's going on?

Why are all four knights alive and well?

Chapter 581: Deconstructing Scholars' Speculations on Acting

I was worried that it would affect the future, so I didn't interfere with Roselle's trip to the original island, but why are there so many differences?

"What else did you encounter while exploring that island, besides those strange and extraordinary creatures?"

Roselle shook his head. "No, I was worried that the ritual on the island might involve something, so I immediately ordered people to leave and never explored it.

"The island has not been explored, the worship ceremony appeared in advance, and Green is not dead..."

It's different now.

It's completely different from what is said in the original book.

Edward's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took out the gold coin and threw it gently, muttering to himself, "Roselle is now contaminated by the Fallen Mother Goddess."

If he was really contaminated, the result would be either a human head or a failed divination.

However, when Edward opened his palm, he saw numbers.

Roselle is not contaminated!

This is a big trouble.

Edward's scalp suddenly went numb: Roselle was not contaminated by the Fallen Mother Goddess, which meant that he would not be affected in the future, contact Mr. Men and go to the moon, and then be further eroded by the Mother Goddess and build the last mausoleum on the original island.

In this way, after he is stabbed in the White Maple Palace, he can be successfully resurrected as planned, ascend to the throne of the Black Emperor, and become the immortal emperor of Intis.

Wouldn't this mean the future is ruined?

For a moment, Edward was confused and felt as if he had stepped on the edge of a cliff, and another step forward would be into the abyss.

No, no, not necessarily.

The reason why Roselle was finally deeply polluted, besides being marked by the Fallen Mother Goddess during his first exploration of the island, was that after joining the Dusk Hermits, he "accidentally" heard about Mr. Men from Hermes, and then contacted Mr. Men, giving the Fallen Mother Goddess the opportunity to further pollute him.

Later, with the help of the Twilight Hermits, he became the "Knowledge Emperor", and was able to go to the moon and discover the truth about the earth, but was completely corrupted by the Fallen Mother Goddess. \My ￠, Book^City' \has\ published. The latest! Salary`Zhang\Conclusion¨

In his later years, after learning the truth and falling into despair, Roselle set about forcing the Black Emperor to surrender. It was hard not to think of how much effort the Dusk Hermits—or rather, Father Maozi—had put into his acquisition of three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.

Ultimately, Roselle was assassinated in the White Maple Palace and resurrected in the mausoleum of the original island - but found that he could not remove the pollution of the fallen mother goddess, thus ending his resurrection.

Overall, Father Maozi's figure is indispensable in every step.

Of course, all of this could be Edward's way of judging others by his own standards - in fact, Father Mao had always been helping Roselle simply because they were "old folks" (fellow villagers), but Roselle was seeking his own death, which led to his miserable end.

However, Adam had already proved with everything he did to Klein in the future that he was not so kind.

Did He personally direct this tragedy of Roselle simply for the sake of the trend of his own times?

Edward stared at Russell for a while with a complicated expression, and his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving Russell with a confused look on his face.

"Why did it feel like the last look He gave me just now was a bit sympathetic?"

Russell frowned, a little confused, but soon he pulled himself together and ordered, "Everyone, return home immediately!"

"yes!"

...

A pristine island in a sea of ​​mist.

Edward walked out of thin air and appeared directly in the middle of the island.

What caught the eye was the bright red bloodstains all over the ground, the remains of flesh and fur of various unknown creatures, and a thin pool of "skin" in the center.

"What happened here?"

Edward's figure turned into a series of afterimages, as if he had transformed into countless clones and quickly completed the exploration of the island, only to find that there was not a single living thing on the island.

According to Russell, those extraordinary creatures should be here, gathering in circles to perform a worship ceremony, but the amount of flesh and fur left on the ground is obviously not right.

He slowly approached the layer of skin, and the mysterious words that had been deconstructed in his eyes reappeared, and soon restored pictures in his mind:

The extraordinary creatures that were worshiped, the melting and blending of flesh and blood, the strange "egg", the "breaking out of the shell" under the bloody moonlight, and the heart that tore through space and disappeared.

[Deconstruction] The ability can actually recreate what happened in the past? Oh, I think it said it can "reproduce".

This thought flashed through Edward's mind, and before he could even feel happy, he lowered his head and continued to analyze:

"That heart is obviously the result of the invasion of the power of the Fallen Mother Goddess, but what exactly is it, and where did it go after it disappeared?"

Edward rubbed his hair wildly. Why are these seven gods suddenly so unreliable? This has happened several times in a short period of time... If you keep playing like this, the end of the world will come without waiting until the future.

Do the Seven Gods know about this? Does Father Maozi know about this?

If they knew, would they have already dealt with it?

If you don't know... if you don't know, you might as well clean your neck and wait for the outside gods to kill you!

By the way, if what happened to Roselle was part of the trend of Father Mao's era, and was arranged by him, then has Roselle now escaped his control?

In addition to arranging for Hermes to contact Roselle in the future, will He take any other measures in advance to get the derailed "trend of the times" back on track?

...

It was already evening when we returned to No. 28 Feicui Street.

There was a melodious and pleasant piano sound in the villa. I followed the sound and found that it was Bernadette sitting at the piano, playing skillfully facing the sunset outside the window.

Hearing footsteps coming from the door, Bernadette looked back and saw Edward and immediately jumped off the stool, "You are back, Mr. Sparrow. I hope you are not in danger."

"fine."

"That's good!"

She smiled brightly, "The song I just played is called 'Girl's Prayer'. It was written by my father. Isn't it amazing?"

"sharp!"

It's amazing!

Compared to Klein, Russell is truly "versatile". Not only does he have so many inventions, he can also "write poetry" and "compose music". He is indeed a standard Long Aotian-style genius time traveler template.

If it weren't for the peculiarities of the mysterious world, there wouldn't have been any chance for Klein later on.

"Beibei."

Edward looked at Bernadette and suddenly asked, "What do you think...what kind of person is your father?"

She frowned and thought the question was a bit strange, but after thinking about it, she answered: "I can't say. I know that many people like him, and many people hate him, but to me he will always be the most powerful and best father!"

"Then...what if one day he does something that you think is very bad?"

Bernadette said firmly, "There must be some reason why he had to do that!"

"…You're right!"

She asked curiously, "What's the matter? Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, just a casual question."

Edward patted her head and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat."

"oh."

She didn't ask any more questions, but suddenly said seriously: "Mr. Sparrow, you can't pat my head until you are restored to adulthood."

"Why?"

"If you were still an adult, I think it would be normal for you to pat me on the head. Daddy does that all the time. But you're almost my age now, and if you pat me again, I'll look even younger."

"Okay, okay."

"I'm serious!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Ah!!! You're so annoying!!!"

...

Over the next two days,

Edward would either lie in the yard basking in the sun, or continue to try and study [Deconstruction] - this not only involves actual combat application, but also concerns subsequent performance.

Combined with the current research on [Deconstruction], in actual combat it mainly interprets the target's approach, sequence, capabilities, etc., so as to find the corresponding loopholes and respond to them.

It works better when used with [Degeneration], and can be considered a "special auxiliary skill" of [Degeneration].

In addition, [Deconstruction] also has the effect of reproduction, just like what he experienced on the original island before - but at that time it only reflected one aspect of the "scene reproduction" effect. More importantly, it can also help Edward analyze and understand the principle of something or a certain ability, and reproduce it.

Simply put, it is a more advanced [record]. Generally speaking, a powerful apprentice Extraordinary Person needs to have a strong network of Extraordinary Persons in order to record various different Extraordinary abilities.

But [Deconstruction] goes one step further, it does not require others to use ability demonstrations in advance to record like the recorder does, but it can reproduce extraordinary abilities by deconstructing the abilities of enemies or companions at the scene of the enemy.

In a sense, it can be regarded as the "change of times" in the mysterious world.

The advantage is that you can "record" while fighting, but the disadvantage is that you can't record a large number of capabilities in advance like a recorder and launch a firepower coverage strike when the war starts.

I think both have their merits.

However, when he came to this conclusion, the first thing Edward thought of was the wooden door he encountered in "Old Shanghai" at that time - the wooden door that seemed to lead to the future.

If I can deconstruct the principle of that wooden door, can I reproduce it and go to the future?

Unfortunately, that door was the result of the Fallen Mother Goddess using Mr. Door's ability to invade the barrier, and it was already broken at that time. If they wanted to [deconstruct] it, they would have to do it again. The difficulty and danger involved can be imagined.

In addition, Edward discovered a disappointing point: simply using the [Deconstruction] ability to deconstruct Extraordinary People and Extraordinary Powers, the progress of potion digestion was extremely slow - even if he chose Amon as the target.

Recalling Crane's experience as the "Ancient Scholar" in the original work, Edward guessed that perhaps the role of the "Deconstruction Scholar" also had certain similarities.

"Ancient" scholars understand and study the mysterious knowledge and information of ancient times, while "deconstruction" scholars are likely to deconstruct some mysterious and unknown knowledge or things and dig out the truth.

This to some extent explains why I [a deconstruction scholar] digested part of the information in advance. When reading the original work of "Lord of Mysteries", Edward, like most readers, speculated on the cause of death of the ancient sun god based on the existing clues and guessed part of the answer - perhaps this can also be considered a kind of "deconstruction"?

If this is really the case, what should I deconstruct in my next role?

Edward took a pen and paper and wrote as he thought:

Of course, one of the reasons was to travel to a mysterious world.

The secret of the transaction between Father Maozi (the real creator) and Mr. Men,

The reason why the gate is unique in me,

And... the reason why Lilith came back to life.

The reason why that wooden door can travel through time...

He couldn't help biting the tip of his pen. "According to this logic, why didn't the potion digest after I learned about Intis's conspiracy from the Queen of Intis?"

"Is it because we only heard it from hearsay and there is no 'deconstruction', or is it because what the 'Queen' said was not the final truth?"

So he wrote this one down as well, and drew a five-pointed star on the side: "Well, let's go find the little snake again. He may know more about this matter. /微·趣^暁\说.王. .勉\费~悦~黩."

Chapter 582 Another Dusk Hermit Meeting

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the study door.

As soon as Edward looked up, the image of DuBois standing outside the door with a glass of milk automatically emerged in his mind.

"Come in."

Dubois gently opened the door and walked into the house, putting the milk down: "Boss, this is the milk you asked for."

"Thank you."

Edward drank it all in one gulp, licked his lips and muttered, "Drink more milk and you will grow up quickly."

DuBois: "…"

It had been three or four days, but he still couldn't get used to his boss's current image, especially the occasional childish behavior and words:

You say he is being cute, but he really doesn't mean that. He is simply "cursed" and out of control.

"boss."

Dubois then said, "During the time you were away, I was introduced to two extraordinary gatherings in Trier. One was held by wild extraordinary people themselves, and the other was controlled by the government behind the scenes."

"oh?"

Edward put down the cup, and after a while he remembered that he seemed to have asked Dubois to find a Extraordinary Party because he wanted to sell Extraordinary Materials because he was short of money.

Although we robbed a lot of things from the pirates in the past two days, money will eventually run out, especially when you have to support such a large family.

"Have you contacted these two parties?"

"Yes."

"Okay, when I'm short of money again, I'll ask you to help me deal with some extraordinary materials."

"OK."

Dubois picked up the empty cup and asked hesitantly, "Do you know what's happening with Russell now?"

"Know."

Edward raised his head and looked at him maliciously, "Miss him?"

"…Of course not!"

He grinned, "It's just that I have some questions that I've been wanting to ask him for a long time, and I don't want him to die before then."

Edward perked up when he heard this: "What's the problem? Tell me!"

"this..."

Dubois hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Please allow me to keep it a secret for now. He will tell you after I have finished asking him."

"Tsk, alright."

Edward waved his hand at him, "Go out... Wait, how is your mind-reading potion being digested?"

"That's about it. During the time you were away, I was doing my best to digest the food every day."

"...You must have worked really hard."

Wouldn't it be tiring to go out and meet all kinds of ladies every day?

Edward held his chin and said, "As for the recipe, I can still give it to you for free like last time, but have you figured out how to get the ingredients?"

DuBois smiled confidently: "Of course!"

"oh?"

Edward was a little surprised. "I wanted to use this as a threat to make you sell yourself to me completely. Congratulations, you have escaped."

Dubois immediately said seriously, "Boss, thank you for your kindness. You must know that I am the kind of person who would rather die than live in pain, so I can't bear to blindly accept other people's kindness. I already owe you a lot."

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood Dubois." Edward shook his head. "In the extraordinary world, you must always remember one thing: all gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price. So my gift also needs to be paid for, but not now."

He was silent for a few seconds, "I understand, boss."

Edward watched Dubois leave, and pinched his chin curiously. "Sequence 7 is already a mid-sequence. Several materials added together can get more than 2,000 Fel Gold. Where does Dubois get the confidence to get so much money?"

Edward thought for a moment and tossed the gold coin: "Dubois's way of making money is dangerous."

Numbers on top indicate negation.

Well, that's enough.

Edward tore off the page of notes and crumpled it in his hand: "Next, try it one by one."

He stretched out his hand and threw the paper ball out. It burst into flames in mid-air, burned into ashes and fell into the trash can.

Then he took out his pocket watch and checked the time, "It's time to get together."

Unfortunately, the gatherings of the Twilight Hermits are not like the Tarot Club, which has a fixed time of 3 pm. Except for the one that remains roughly unchanged every month, all other times can be changed. The main feature is one's willfulness.

At lunch,

As soon as Edward took a sip of the appetizer juice, his spirit began to beat slightly. He was very familiar with this feeling, as it was the reminder he had received before the previous gatherings.

He picked up a piece of grilled fish and ate it while going upstairs: "You can share the rest. I have something to do."

As soon as he entered the house, he hid the room as usual, then walked four steps back to enter the Source Castle, and took out the silver cross that was emitting a faint light.

Amon was hanging upside down in the cage, and no one knew what he was playing. "Is this the party called by the paranoid? I tried to sneak in several times, but he found me and threw me out every time."

"Hey, sooner or later I'm going to find a chance to parasitize Him, hold a party for Him, and then put on a monocle at the critical moment. Hahahaha, that must be very interesting."

Edward was silent: Oh, you really do what you say. According to what Adam said before, Amon really did it, and even issued a commission for me to save Mr. Men.

"Don't you guys often work together? And you're... brothers, so why don't you seem to have a very good relationship?"

"He's always been on guard against me, just as I'm on guard against Him."

Amon folded his wings and said, "A paranoid like Him who is willing to sacrifice himself to achieve his goal, whoever truly believes in Him will be the next to be sacrificed!"

Edward's heart moved, and he asked, "It seems that Adam is doing this to fight against the end of the world, right?"

"That's true, but..."

Before He could finish, Edward interrupted and asked, "So He will sacrifice himself to fight against Doomsday, right?"

Amon tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"So... do you think Adam will choose to cooperate with the True Creator in order to fight against Doomsday, or even hand over the initiative to Him?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Amon laughed. "Paranoia... Adam hates the Hanged Man. He seems to blame him for his father's death. But I think there seems to be some secret hidden in it that I don't know. Unfortunately, no matter what method I use, I can't figure it out."

When you enter the Giant King's Court in the future and meet the Dark Angel Sasriel, you will naturally understand.

"Um?"

Amon's eyes flashed, "Your expression just now seems to indicate that you know the secret?"

"yes."

Edward narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But I won't tell you."

"Unless you..."

"I beg you?"

Amon took over the conversation and said, "Okay, then I beg you! Do you want me to kneel down and kowtow to you? I can also kowtow in a 360-degree spiral, or even 720 degrees."

"…"

Edward pursed his lips and said, "I didn't ask you to beg me. I need a copy of the Beyonder trait of a planeswalker. Do you know where I can get it?"

"Planeswalker?"

Amon used his wings to pinch his chin. "This kind of thing can only be found in the Abraham family. By the way, I haven't asked you where you got the Wanderer Beyonder characteristic that allowed you to advance to Sequence 3?"

"Oh, I remember now. The descendant of Jacob seemed to have told you about the internal strife in Abraham's family. You acted quickly."

Edward thought for a moment and told Bansi what happened before he entered "Old Shanghai". "Although I knew that the descendants of Abraham had the extraordinary characteristics of the Wanderer, I thought it would take some time to find it. Thank you very much for your 'brother' for sending it to me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Amon laughed. "You must not have told me the whole story. How could a paranoid person give you a Sequence 3 Beyonder characteristic for free?"

"By the way, you have a good relationship with Lilith, right? Adam was one of the culprits who caused her fall. Why are you turning against her?"

Edward said calmly: "The arm cannot twist the thigh. There is no need to turn against Him before you gain the power to truly fight Him."

"That's true."

Amon nodded. "Since you have obtained those things from Abraham's house, you still come to ask me for the Beyonder characteristics of the Planeswalker... It means that you did not divine the location of the other Abraham? Well, this is normal. They must have moved out of their original residence as soon as possible and used specific seals to hide and counter divination."

"That's going to be troublesome. With their cautious style of doing things, they will have to hide for at least decades. Even if you ask the paranoid lunatic for help, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to find them."

Edward's little face suddenly became tense, and this was also what he was worried about.

Does it mean that I can only wait until the future, ask Bernadette to return the Box of the Elder Days, and then ask the Goddess of Night to help crush it into Beyonder characteristics before I can advance to Sequence 2?

No,

Perhaps I can try to contact Mr. Men again. Doesn't he want to quickly digest the potion to advance to Sequence 2 and go to the starry sky to complete the advancement ceremony?

In this case, will He "provide" me with the extraordinary characteristics of a planeswalker? But last time in the City of Disaster, He seemed to have known that I was not afraid of pollution.
