At this moment, an endless gray fog suddenly appeared in front of him, and the figure of Mr. Fool appeared in the depths of the gray fog. He said in a calm tone: "The 'world' has returned to Backlund. ?墈*风雨文学* \免`废·阅·黩¨"

Then, Klein appeared: "Ms. Justice, I have completed my promotion and returned to Backlund. You can choose a location and meet tomorrow."

Audrey thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the villa where Mr. Gaota lived before."

"Thank you, Mr. Fool."

"Um."

The gray mist dissipated and she returned to her room.

"Are you finally back?"

Audrey rubbed her fingers together, feeling a little conflicted and hesitant for a moment. "Should I really pretend to be... a fellow villager and come to 'recognize' Klein as a relative? However, my understanding of his original world is actually limited. If I'm caught, he will easily associate it with Edward."

Wouldn't that mean I'm betraying Edward?

Besides, do I really need to "recognize my relatives"?

Maybe he really is from the same hometown as Edward, and also the girl he wants to find, but how can "recognizing" Klein as a relative help him find Edward?

"…"

Audrey was suddenly startled: Yes, how can that help?

She was shocked and quickly sorted out her thoughts:

The reason why she wanted to find Klein to "recognize her as a relative" was because after Edward disappeared, when Klein issued a commission to the Tarot Club to find the girl, her intuition told her that there might be some kind of connection:

But now think about it, is there really any necessary connection between the two?

Admittedly, that girl is likely to be from Edward's world, but even if she is really related to Edward's disappearance, what is the point of me "confessing" to Klein - Klein is actually also looking for that girl, and he doesn't know where she is?

Could it be that what I feel is not an "intuition" but a psychological suggestion?

As this thought came to her mind, Audrey's face turned pale, and her fingers that were rubbing together twisted and tangled together. The fear in her heart swallowed her like an abyss.

When... was I given the psychological hint?

Who gave me the psychological hint?

What is the other party's purpose in doing this?

Doubts surged up one after another, and her spirit suddenly became agitated. Her body trembled, and translucent lines like scales vaguely appeared on the surface of her skin.

But she didn't realize at all that she was on the verge of losing control.

At this moment, a cool breeze poured in from the top of her head, which quickly spread throughout her body, calming Audrey's disordered thoughts and irritable spirit, and her consciousness became clear.

"What's wrong with you, Audrey?"

Susie walked over to her and sat down, looking up at her with concern in her eyes.

"Thank you, Susie."

Audrey took a few quick breaths and smiled again. "Just now... I was just daydreaming. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Are you thinking about Edward?"

"Yes, I do."

She said seriously: "Don't worry, he will be fine."

Audrey clenched her fists and smiled, "Well, he will be fine."

Is it really a psychological suggestion?

Didn't I pray to Mr. Fool to grant me the protection of an angel?

Also, why did I suddenly "wake up" from the psychological suggestion?

She quickly recalled today's experiences, and suddenly an idea occurred to her: Could it be... because of Edsak and Helena?

But why?

...

After dozens of days,

Klein returned to Backlund again.

Standing on the street, looking at this huge city, smelling the strange air, Klein actually had the illusion that he was in another world.

After bringing him back to Backlund, the mysterious queen left without even saying hello.

snort!

If you ignore me today, I will make you out of my league next Monday!

Of course, this idea was just a joke. Klein was very grateful for her help and would definitely repay her if he had the chance!

As for the formula of the Sequence 4 potion, Klein currently has two ideas: one is to ask the magic mirror named Arrodes, and the other is to seek help from the mercury snake.

But these are all later stories. The first thing he has to do is to visit Captain Dunn.

"Boom boom boom."

Klein knocked on the door of Dunn's residence and waited for about half a minute before the wooden door was opened. It was Ms. Daly who opened the door.

Her face looked a little pale and unhealthy. When she saw the stranger outside the door, her eyes suddenly became cold and she asked coldly, "Who are you looking for?"

"Ms. Daly, it's me, Klein."

She was obviously stunned, but did not believe it at first.

Klein said hurriedly, "It's really me... If you don't believe me, you can communicate with me through spiritualism."

"…"

The suspicion in Dai Li's eyes gradually dissipated, and she said indifferently: "You're back? Come in."

"What's wrong, Ms. Daly?"

Daly led Klein to a bedroom. When she opened the door, she saw Dunn lying on the bed. There was a smell of herbs in the room.

Klein's expression suddenly changed: "What happened to the captain?"

She pinched her fingers and said coldly, "It was Ince Zangwill... He suddenly appeared and attacked Dunn. If I hadn't arrived immediately and threatened to fight him to the death, Dunn might have..."

"But his body was still severely damaged. Even if he recovers, he may still suffer from sequelae in the future."

Looking at the unconscious captain, Klein's heart was filled with anger. Although he had known that Ince Zangwill would retaliate against them and had warned the captain in advance, he did not expect that something unexpected would happen to the captain.

He tried to calm down his anger and asked in a deep voice, "How is Leonard doing?"

Daly said: "He's okay, at least not yet."

By the way, there is an angel-level being in Leonard's body, so he should be able to escape unscathed even if he encounters Ince Zangwill.

Therefore, the people in most danger now are the captain... and even Ms. Daly.

As long as Ins is not eliminated, this danger will exist. He is like a lurking poisonous snake, and no one knows when he will suddenly emerge and bite someone.

"Next, you must be careful."

Daly said with a cold face, "Ince Zangwill has been promoted to a demigod. Not only does he possess powerful strength, he also has mastered a seal that can flash and teleport."

"How did he get promoted?"

Wasn't Ins's plan to snatch the ashes and get promoted ruined by Edward?

"He jumped to the Warrior Path and is now a Sequence 4 Demon Hunter."

Klein was stunned: "Warrior Path?"

He suddenly remembered that Priscilla had once said that she had seen Ince Zangwill in Feysac, and that the royal family of Feysac seemed to have mastered the warrior path.

Could it be that Ince Zangwill's promotion is related to the Feysac royal family?

...

Past time, 1160 years.

On the island in the mist.

Roselle walked out of the strange little church in a trance, still trying to digest the news he had just heard. After Roselle "crossed" to this world, he heard the church's legend about the seven gods "creating and saving the world", but the priest told him a completely different "history".

It overturned his cognition in an instant.

If these words were heard by the churches, the priest would be burned to death by the crazy believers immediately.

Of course, if it was just a "story" he heard from others, Roselle would not be so shocked, and he would not even believe it. The key point was that the priest with golden eyes suddenly changed the subject after telling him the past:

"You don't belong to this world."

Roselle's scalp was tingling at the time, but he still pretended not to understand, "Of course I don't belong to this world. I belong to Intis, not the sea, even though I like adventures on the sea."

The priest said nothing more.

Afterwards, Roselle was in a trance for a while, and when he came to his senses, he had already walked out of the church door.

He quickly turned his head to look inside the church; the mysterious priest had already disappeared. The only thing he could see was the statue of a man carrying a cross in the shrine - He was the Creator that the priest had mentioned.

Why did that priest say I don't belong to this world?

Did he really see that I was a time traveler?

Who is he and why is he telling me all this?

Roselle suddenly remembered that when he first "accidentally entered" the president's kingdom of God, he doubted whether He had anything to do with his coming to this world, and whether He knew the truth about his time travel.

And now, another mysterious priest suddenly appeared and bluntly pointed out the fact of his time travel again.

At this moment, Russell felt nothing but confusion and fear, as if he was stepping into a terrible vortex. He suddenly remembered the president's prediction about his future at the "misery competition" a month ago, and a strong sense of suffocation came over him.

Not struggling may mean that such a future is destined to come.

But if he struggles, will it end up like what the president said, that his attempt to change has led to such a hopeless future?

"Captain, are you okay? What did the priest say to you just now? Where did he go?"

Edwards and Green hurried over and asked with concern.

"No, it's okay."

Russell forced a smile and said, "I just sat for too long and got up all of a sudden. I feel a little dizzy."

The four knights looked at each other, obviously not believing it.

Edwards gave William and Perri a look, and the two immediately walked slowly towards the chapel with a cautious look.

"William, Perley."

Roselle shook his head at them and said softly, "Let's go back."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and walked straight forward.

The four knights had no choice but to follow after seeing this. However, they had not gone far when they could not help but look back, only to find to their horror that the chapel had disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 593: Star Realm, Meeting the Mother Earth

Astral world.

In a colorful garden filled with rice ears, wheat, and various fruit trees laden with fruits, a plump and graceful woman with wheat ears growing at her feet, surrounded by springs, her dress flowing and holding a dark brown wooden stick, strolled in the garden.

From a distance, it looks holy and dignified.

This was Edward's first impression when he saw the Mother Earth.

To be honest, this was completely different from what Edward had always imagined about Him - of course, all his previous imaginations were based on the premise that He was the ancestor of the blood clan.

But in fact, Lilith has already eliminated the relevant extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, and now she is just a very pure Mother Goddess of the Earth.

Edward stood at the entrance of the garden, looked at the Earth Goddess Lilith for a while, and then stepped into the garden with countless symbols of harvest - or His kingdom of God.

Just like what I saw when I first went to the kingdom of the Goddess of Night, the kingdom of the Mother Goddess of Earth was also peaceful, but there seemed to be many creatures in this garden.

After all, His Sequence 0 is a mother, not as lonely and cold as "Night".

"welcome."

The Mother Earth waved her white arms with a smile, causing the wheat and rice ears to grow wildly, forming a "harvest chair".

"Excuse me, Mother Goddess."

"No."

"No one likes to stay here alone all the time. If I had known earlier that becoming a god would mean I would have to stay in this lonely and desolate astral realm, guarding the barrier for thousands of years, perhaps I would have chosen to stop at Sequence 2."

"At least, it's more free that way. Lan Lan Wen Xue has already published the most exciting article."

Edward smiled politely.

"Before Bethel was exiled, He would occasionally come over to chat with me. But after He left for the starry sky, no one could easily come to the starry sky anymore."

Edward asked curiously, "Coming to the astral world and the starry sky should not only be the unique abilities of the gate path, right?"

At least Emperor Roselle went to the moon after he was promoted to Emperor of Knowledge.

"Indeed, there are some ways to advance to Sequence 1 and gain the ability to travel to the starry sky and the astral realm. However, the existing Sequence 1s are either the result of corruption and contamination by the Outer Gods, or they are too timid and cautious. How could they dare to come to the astral realm?"

The Earth Mother Goddess explained, "Thousands of years ago, I could occasionally rely on my believers to bring my consciousness down to earth, but now it's difficult."

"Because we need to protect the barrier?"

But in the original book, didn't the Goddess of Night use the "Mother of Heaven" as a sealed object to descend several times?

"No, it's because of the special nature of my mother's path."

Understood.

Speaking of the Fallen Mother Goddess invading the earth, the most dangerous one is actually the Mother Goddess of Earth, because the path of "Mother" itself was torn off from the Fallen Mother Goddess, so whether it is out of the will of the Fallen Mother Goddess or the aggregation effect of the extraordinary characteristics, He will accommodate this path again.

The result of accommodating is naturally the fall of the Mother Goddess of Earth, so the Mother Goddess of Earth should feel the most crisis about the invasion of the Fallen Mother Goddess.

Thinking of this, Edward asked, "Not long ago, the Original Witch cooperated with the Fallen Mother Goddess. Did you...did you seven gods try to stop it?"

Mother Earth shook her head: "No."

"Why?"

He said calmly, "Because Chike didn't dare to go too far. He also knew that once the barrier was broken, he wouldn't be able to escape when the Outer Gods invaded. But if we try to stop him, it would make him feel uneasy and do irrational things. In the God War of the Pale Disaster, his injuries were not too serious, but his consciousness became crazy because of it."

"We can't take that risk."

Edward really didn't expect this to be the reason. \2′8/墈¨book/net*,追+嶵′薪+彰^接`

You are gods, why do you sound so aggrieved?

Mother Earth changed her tone and said meaningfully, "The reason why Chike is like this is because Lilith took the authority of the mirror world from Him."

The Lilith He was referring to was of course His own Lilith.

"…"

Damn, after going around in circles, the blame is finally put on Lilith.

Edward was not too surprised that the Mother Goddess mentioned Lilith so simply and directly. After all, he had previously gone to Feynaporte to "confess" his relationship with Lilith to the Duke. As the true ancestor of the blood race, it was normal for Him to know about it.

But Edward did not ask more questions. After all, the current Mother Earth was still just the Mother Earth, not the ancestor of the blood race. And He also did not explain more.

"Okay, let me show you around."

The Mother Goddess of Earth, leaning on a dark brown wooden staff, walked barefoot into the rice field and headed towards the depths of the "garden". Edward hurriedly followed her, appreciating this kingdom of God filled with the atmosphere of harvest.

As we moved forward, the scenery around us kept changing, as if a season had changed every certain distance. From the weeds, wheat ears and rice that existed in reality to the unprecedented plants that only existed in the astral world, each one was in the best state of harvest. At first glance, there was a sense of satisfaction from the dazzling array - it felt like the farming blood of the Chinese people had awakened.

The power of [Mother] is not limited to plants. She can also make animals and humans become "mothers" and give birth to life, just like the Fallen Mother Goddess, but we do not see it here.

Edward walked and looked, using his [Deconstruction] ability to deconstruct everything he saw. When they came to a castle built of plants, the Earth Mother stopped and said, "There's nothing to see ahead."

"OK."

He turned around and looked at the large patch of plants with a kind and peaceful gaze, and said, "This place is not as interesting as you thought, is it?"

"Everything becomes interesting if I have a spirit to guide me."

"Yeah?"

The Earth Mother Goddess smiled and said, "You are welcome to come more often in the future. If you want to tour my kingdom of God completely, it will take some time."

Edward bowed, "Thank you, Mother Goddess."

"Whose kingdom of God are you going to go to next?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. What's your suggestion?"

The Earth Mother thought for a moment, "Although the Storm Lord and the Eternal Blazing Sun have relatively bad tempers, they are actually not too averse to a wanderer going to their kingdom of God, especially... you are the master of Sefirah Castle."

really,

The commotion caused when he was promoted to Sequence 3 and truly became the master of Sefirah Castle could not be hidden from the Seven Gods.

He continued, "With my introduction, the Kingdom of the God of War won't be a big problem. It won't be difficult for the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the God of Steam and Machinery to get along with each other either."

"As the master of Sefirah Castle, you have no conflict of interest with them. On the contrary, they will need your help to fight against the Outer Gods in the future. It is perfectly normal for them to give you a favor in advance, just like they did with Mr. Men before."

At this point, He paused: "As for the final goddess of night..."

He looked at Edward steadily, "I don't know."

"…"

Edward was stunned. Aren't you old "best friends" who have been conspiring for thousands of years? Why don't you know about the Goddess of Night?

"He seems to have his own calculations and ideas. He is not the kind of person who is willing to put his fate in the hands of others, so he has been secretly planning something over the years."

"No one can know what He is thinking or what He is going to do."

Edward asked doubtfully, "But no matter what "Him..." the Goddess of Night plans, she should want to obtain the River of Eternal Darkness and advance to a higher sequence, right?"

The Earth Mother looked at him calmly and said, "But the tributaries of the River of Everlasting Darkness are almost dry. Do you know what this means? Its main trunk is likely to be dry as well."

"…"

This was the first time Edward discussed this matter with someone else, or a spirit, after learning that the tributary of the Everdark River had dried up. So he asked hurriedly, "Do you know why it dried up?"

"have no idea."

The Earth Mother shook her head. "After all, it is a source that has nothing to do with me. I naturally cannot pay too much attention to it. However, when I occasionally cast my eyes on it, it has already dried up. Even if you are promoted to the Lord of Mysteries, you will not be able to help Hei Ye get the River of Eternal Darkness."

"That's why I say I can't understand Him anymore."

I go,

The Goddess of Night was already quite treacherous in the original novel, and now she's even more treacherous. So, isn't it a bit too risky for me to go and "trade" her for extraordinary characteristics?

Edward thought for a moment. "Your Majesty, Mother Earth, if... I want to trade with the Goddess of Night to get the Beyonder characteristics of the Planeswalker, what else do you think She might be interested in?"

The Earth Mother Goddess showed a meaningful smile: "All you can offer now is your 'future'."

My future?

He immediately reacted: It's the same old saying, all gifts have already been priced, but the payment time is in the future.

"I see."

He nodded slightly, "Next, just wander around casually."

After saying this, He walked away, stepping on the wheat ears and spring water.

Edward found a tree, sat against the trunk, relaxed and calmly looked at the garden where reality and weirdness blended together.

When his spiritual power was gradually exhausted, he found the Mother Goddess of Earth to say goodbye, ended the summons and returned to Sefirah Castle, then returned to reality to rest and restore his spiritual power.

In the gray-white mist surrounding Sefirah Castle, Amon squatted in the birdcage, watching Edward's fleeting figure. He smiled while pinching his monocle and said, "Oh, are you planning to travel around the astral realm to digest the potion like Bethel did?"

He jumped lightly and landed at the bottom of the birdcage, then lay back with his wings spread out, and said, "Oh, I'm so bored. If I can't think of a way to get out, I might as well just fall asleep."

"But...if I wake up from my sleep and find that this guy has somehow been promoted to a 'Gate', then I'll be in trouble, right?"

"Forget it, get up and try harder."

Amon jumped up again, found a pole and started pecking at it like a woodpecker.

Chapter 594 Steam Girl Turns Out to Be Steam Muscle

Edward slept until midnight.

When he woke up full of energy, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was a little after three in the morning.
