Edward was stunned when he thought of this: one of the three extraordinary characteristics of the mysterious servant was contained by An Banyu, one was taken away by An Banyu (Old Zaratul), and the other existed in that "curtain".

In the future, the reason why the "curtain" was taken by the Dark Wolf was because the Goddess of Night made some adjustments when Klein landed, in order to prevent him from ascending directly to "Tianzun" after landing.

So here comes the question. At this moment, there are still 190 years before Klein is born. The "curtain" should still be in Sefirah Castle. However, during this period of time, I have not found the curtain in Sefirah Castle.

Could it be that the goddess of night had already taken action on the curtain? Or was there some other reason?

Edward crossed his hands and said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Not Living Well, how do you think about it?"

Russell hesitated and said, "Of course I am willing to help you do this, but I don't have much confidence in myself, so I will think about it again."

"no problem."

Edward had no intention of forcing him. "Oh, by the way, I suggest that after you leave here, you'd better not say or even think about the names of Adam and the Dusk Hermits, because 'whatever is said will be known'. As long as you mention Him or even think about Him, He will know you."

"So, there is a wise saying in the extraordinary world: Be careful of the audience!"

Russell: Why did you tell me that specifically?!

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm his uneasy mood, and then asked: "Then...should I accept the invitation to join that dusk...organization?"

"It depends on you, but joining this organization is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it allows you to come into contact with many Beyonders from different places and learn a lot of secret Beyonder knowledge, which is actually beneficial to your growth."

"but..."

Edward suddenly stopped, "No buts."

Russell: Hey, you? Are you doing this on purpose?!

But... you will completely step into the established path that Adam has woven for you, become a part of the trend of His times, and become the tragic and desperate Black Emperor.

Thinking of this, Edward felt annoyed:

But is there really no way to change all this?

Russell is by no means a noble and good person.

But as a "fellow countryman" and the filter of the original work, Edward naturally had more favorable impressions on him, especially after they really got to know each other. No matter what his considerations were, Russell was being righteous to him.

Of course, Bernadette has to be included, so Edward really thought about changing the tragedy of his life.

But when Edward thought of the price of change, he hesitated again - even if we don't mention the impact on the future, just destroying the trend of Father Mao's era would be tantamount to making him an enemy.

He can't bear it.

He lowered his head and thought:

So, what if my intervention and changes are not explicit, but implicit?

On the surface, everything was developing according to the established history, but in fact, these were just illusions. Roselle still followed the "original history", became an executive, became the emperor of Intis, jumped to the Emperor of Knowledge, jumped to the Black Emperor, was assassinated in the White Maple Palace, and finally failed to be resurrected in the mausoleum on that island.

Yes, everything seems the same, nothing has changed.

But these were only presented through design - when everyone was sure that the great Emperor Roselle was stabbed to death, when this incident became a well-known thing after being spread for nearly two hundred years.

Russell suddenly jumped out: Hahaha, I'm just kidding you! I'm not dead!

Just like... the previous few times I went back to the past through the time turner.

Suddenly, Edward's heart trembled, and the Sequence 2 promotion ceremony suddenly emerged in his mind: making a well-known thing become false!

Done!

Is this how it was done?

But Edward couldn't be happy at all, because... it was too long.

Klein practiced for two and a half years and became the Lord of Mysteries.

It would take me 190 years to advance to Sequence 2, which is too far behind. I can only use it as a backup plan.

Also, although this idea is good, the difficulty of practical operation is too great:

First, the time span is too long, second, there are too many variables, and third, and most importantly, it requires Russell's full cooperation - this means that he has to be told everything, but by then, is he really willing to cooperate in such a drama that will last for more than a hundred years?

Thinking of this, Edward couldn't help but grab his hair with both hands: Ahhh! Get lost, I'm not Russell's biological father, why do I think so much and take such a big risk?

But then again, apart from this, is there any other way to complete the ritual?

"???"

Russell looked at the president in deep thought blankly, and suddenly, contrary to his usual behavior, he grabbed his hair in annoyance. He was extremely puzzled: Could the Dusk Hermit be so troublesome? Even a god was troubled like this?

If that's the case, I can't join it no matter how good it is.

After a while, Edward regained his composure. After secretly cursing "damn childishness", he said, "Well, if there are no other questions, go back and think about it carefully."

Russell opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and said nothing more: "I understand. Thank you, Mr. President."

Edward then severed his connection with Roselle, causing him to disappear into Sephira Castle.

"Hey, I have to think of another way to complete the promotion ceremony, otherwise... my promotion is really going to become hell mode."

duang, duang, duang

At this time, a sound came from the birdcage next to it. It was Amon flapping his wings against the cage and pointing at his mouth frequently.

Edward's spirit moved and he released the restrictions on Him.

Amon spoke up immediately, his tone unhappy: "If you find me annoying, just stop me from talking, but why do you block my hearing? This is my only pleasure in Sefirah Castle."

"During this period, I have answered many of your questions for free. Now I am going to deprive you of this pleasure. Next time, I will not provide you with free consultation."

Edward glanced at Him and said calmly: "You are still young, some things are not suitable for you to hear."

"Go to hell..."

Amon stretched out his wings and gave a middle finger gesture.

He then asked, "Who are you as a believer that you can meet this bigot in person?"

"He's just a nobody who knows a little bit about inventions. Who knows what Adam is thinking? But is it a good thing to be targeted by Adam?"

"You are right."

Amon's eyes sparkled, "But I always feel that you know a deeper secret."

Edward laughed and said, "Hahahaha, please, Mengzi, even if I really become the Lord of Mysteries one day, I don't have the power to be omniscient and omnipotent. How can I know this and that?"

"Oh, really?"

Amon seemed to think for a while, "Forget it, when the day comes that I parasite you, you will know naturally."

"Come on."

Edward waved his fist at Him, and then changed the subject, "Oh, if you're willing, please help me answer one more question."

Amon tilted his head, looking confused: "Amon doesn't know."

"…"

Edward picked up a brick and threw it at him.

Amon immediately turned around and made the bird cage sway, avoiding the brick. He smiled and said, "I thought you liked this. Anyway, Lilith always liked to say so. Okay, go ahead and ask."

"What is your specific method of using the dream and abyss of the God War Ruins to enter the God Forsaken Land?"

"Oh, I can answer this for you."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "You are so powerful, you must know what Sequence 0 of the Thief's Path is, right?"

"mistake."

"Yes, I can use its uniqueness to find some loopholes and achieve certain goals..."

Amon said with a smile, touching his monocle and said with a smile: "So, this is my exclusive ability, no one else can use it."

"Um."

Edward responded indifferently, watching Amon's monocle use the [Deconstruction] ability. Compared with the previous time in the Kingdom of the Goddess of Night, the progress this time was obviously much faster.

Then, he also saw authority.

Compared with the authority of the Goddess of Night, it would only take hundreds of years to deconstruct Amon's erroneous authority - this certainly does not mean that the erroneous authority is weaker than the hidden authority, but that the degree of control of both parties is different, and Amon is still far behind the Goddess of Night.

However, this is Sefirah Castle, and I can only say: "Deep Blue, add some points!" (Sefirah Castle, turn things around!)

Um?

Suddenly, Edward's heart was lifted, and he looked at Amon and thought of something.

...

The Russell family villa.

Russell opened his eyes in the bathroom. The boundless gray mist quickly dissipated, and his face was clearly more distressed:

What should I do?

He sighed, stood up and walked out, but his legs suddenly felt numb, he stumbled forward, and then slammed his head against the bathroom door.

"Oh, hiss—"

Russell bared his teeth and said, "The Universal Path is too weak. I am a Sequence 6 and my legs are numb! No, I have to quickly increase my Sequence."

At this time, Matilda's concerned voice came from outside: "Dear, what's wrong with you."

"fine."

Russell opened the door, squirmed and took a half step, leaning against the door frame: "It's just that I squatted for too long, and my legs are numb."

Matilda looked worried: "Ah, then why don't I ask the doctor to prescribe some tonic for you."

"Hey, you!"

Russell pointed at the man like a husky, "You're trying to say I'm weak, right? Just wait, I'll let you see for yourself whether I'm weak or not."

Matilda's cheeks were a little more flushed, but her eyes were full of anticipation: "Okay."

Chapter 603 Lilith is Back

Her appearance immediately made Russell distracted. He looked back at the bathroom and considered some feasibility.

Just then, a loud noise suddenly came, accompanied by several women's screams.

Roselle's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled the disappointed Matilda out. When they arrived at the party, they saw everyone gathered together, with two obviously drunk nobles in the middle having a one-on-one solo.

One accused the other of stealing his wife, and the other accused the other of being impotent and said he was just helping him. Both of them are the kind of people who live a life of luxury in their daily lives, and when they fight, they are almost no different from women.

Except for the screaming woman, everyone else at the scene was watching the show with gloating, and secretly wishing the fight would get even more intense.

This was also the scene Edward saw after he left the bathroom. He was speechless: "Well, this shouldn't be blamed on my 'drinking party bad luck constitution'."

In the end, the celebration party for Russell's return from the voyage ended in a farce. As the guests left one after another, Edward, who stayed until the end, also said goodbye to Russell and his wife.

"snort!"

Bernadette twisted her face and crossed her arms, looking as if she was angry.

"Leave."

Just as Edward was about to turn around, Russell suddenly pretended to ask casually, "Klein, I didn't have time to ask you just now, why didn't Dubois come tonight? You didn't really fire him, did you?"

Edward said, "Oh, he has something important to take care of tonight."

Roselle raised his eyebrows. "As a butler, what could be more important than serving the boss? This is a serious dereliction of duty! Why keep such a person? You should just fire him!"

Hey, you're a double-faced guy.

If I really want to fire Du Bois, you will be the first one to plead for him!

"I will consider your suggestion carefully. Good night, Roselle, Matilda, and... our most shining gem in Trier."

Bernadette's face turned slightly red. She even complained about being praised like this in private last time. But this time, when the title was mentioned again in front of her parents and some people around them, she couldn't help but feel shy.

Roselle pinched his waist and laughed: "Hahaha, Trier's most shining gem? I like this title. From tomorrow on, I will let this title spread throughout Trier!"

"Ah!! Dad!"

Matilda just hugged her husband's arm and laughed.

Edward waved and turned away: It's so nice to have the whole family together.

I don't know when I can reunite with Lilith and Audrey.

He looked up at the crimson moon in the sky, and mixed thoughts flashed through his mind:

For example, what happened to Lilith in the mirror world, and whether she could come back on time;

For example, whether the plan to hunt Zaratul can be tried as expected;

There are also the "commissions" given to me by Father Maozi and the Goddess of Night:

Father Maozi asked me to pray to the true creator, and the Goddess of Night asked me to go to the God-forsaken Land. If these are essentially pointing to the same thing, what on earth could have made these two big guys so concerned?

What did the mysterious man who took away the River of Eternal Darkness and was supposed to be the true owner of the uniqueness of the gate leave behind in the God-forsaken Land?

What does all this have to do with me?

"Perhaps, after dragging it on for so long…it's time to say hello to the true creator of this period."

Then let's wait until the day Lilith originally agreed with Christine to come out. It's almost a full month now, and by the way, I can try to talk to Mr. Men again - I hope I can digest the deconstruction scholar's potion in one go.

Last three days!

...

Time in the future, 1360 years.

Monday morning in Edward's rented villa in Queens.

Audrey came here early with Susie and used cleaning magic to clean the house inside and out. Then she placed the food and drinks she brought from home on the dining table, ready to entertain Klein.

This is Edward's "home". Now that Edward is not here, it is natural for me, the hostess, to take full responsibility.

After realizing that her desire to meet Klein as a fellow villager was most likely the result of someone else's psychological suggestion, Audrey was worried and afraid, but after considering it for a while, she decided to meet Klein as agreed.

I don't have to "recognize" Klein, but I can still test whether he is really from Edward's world.

Around 10 o'clock, Klein, dressed in his detective outfit and restored to his original appearance, arrived.

"Long time no see, Klein."

"Long time no see, Miss Justice."

Audrey asked him to sit down at the table and poured him a cup of sweet iced tea. The two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Klein got straight to the point: "Audrey, is there something important that you came to see me about this time?"

She shook her head and said the words she had thought of in advance: "Not really, I just want to ask you to help talk to Mr. Fool and ask Him to… help find Edward and Lilith again. After all, you are Mr. Fool's Blessed One."

Klein's hand holding the cup froze, and he shook his head and said, "Mr. Fool has been trying his best to find them, but... at present, he can only confirm that they are safe. By the way, Edward can actually be considered Mr. Fool's follower."

When he said this, Klein felt a little ashamed: Edward had helped him so much - both to Klein and Mr. Fool, but when he was in trouble, he couldn't even find them, let alone help them.

While feeling ashamed, Klein couldn't help but feel confused: Audrey repeatedly asked to meet just to talk about this? Is it necessary to hide this from Mr. Fool? Oh, maybe Audrey thought she was relying on connections, so she didn't want Mr. Fool to know?

Good, I already know that.

Klein's intuition told him that this was not the real reason why Audrey came to see him, but the question was: why did she suddenly change her mind?

So, should I ask her?

Audrey took a sip of tea and said, "Klein, is there any new information about the girl you were looking for at the Tarot Club?"

"No."

Klein shook his head. "I haven't met her since then. During this period, all my energy has been focused on advancing to Sequence 5."

"You said before that you were looking for that girl because she might be from the same hometown as you?"

"right."

"But... aren't you from Tingen? Tingen doesn't seem to have clothing of that style."

Klein panicked immediately, but his face remained calm. This was called a professional faceless man—wait, the person opposite him seemed to be a professional audience member as well.

Alas, I shouldn't have been so anxious and told the truth.

Edward, oh Edward, look at the question your wife asked. It makes me, Mr. Fool, sweat profusely!

"Before moving to Tingen, we had always lived in a small town, and the clothing in that town was of that style. Later, when I went back, I found that the town had been abandoned and the people who had lived there had disappeared. So when I suddenly saw one, I was very excited."

Klein spoke the excuse he had made up naturally, but what he was thinking was: I must find an opportunity to go back and get a unified statement with Benson and the others.

"oh."

Audrey nodded in realization, "So that's how it is."

He is lying!

Melissa said that the Moretti family had always lived in Tingen, and there was no such town as Klein mentioned.

So, is Klein really also a time traveler?

But Melissa also said that Klein was indeed her biological brother. Either Melissa didn't know the truth, or there were other circumstances surrounding Klein that she didn't know about.

But if Crane is indeed from Edward's world, then everything fits together.

That's why Edward treats Klein differently.

That's why Mr. Fool allowed Edward and Klein to become his followers, and why he was so interested in Emperor Roselle's diary.

Because they all come from the same place!

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood something: Is it possible that the person who gave me psychological hints and made me "recognize" Klein as his relative was actually targeting Mr. Fool?

But how could "recognizing" Klein as a relative affect Mr. Fool?

...

When it was three minutes to 3 p.m.

Klein had already walked four steps backwards and arrived above the gray fog. He sat on the bronze chair of the Fool and looked at the deep red stars in the depths of the gray fog. His conversation with Miss Justice Audrey in the morning flashed through his mind again and again.

Audrey, did she see something?

She saw that I was lying and knew that there was no town... But so what? She couldn't have guessed that I was not from this world based on these things, that I was a time traveler, right? !

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

It is impossible for anyone to know things beyond the scope of his or her own cognition!

But what Klein couldn't understand was why she was interested in his search for that girl... and even met with him specifically to ask him about it?

Klein took a deep breath and wrote on the materialized parchment: "Audrey knows that I am a time traveler." He leaned back, silently recited the divination sentence seven times, and lowered the yellow crystal.

After a while,

The citrine slowly rotates counterclockwise, indicating denial.

"call--"

Klein immediately let out a long sigh: As expected, I scared myself~

He then pulled himself together, and extended a spiritual connection to all the stars that represented the members of the Tarot Club, pulling them up above the gray fog one by one.

Suddenly he felt a spiritual blockage:

It's strange, why does it feel particularly difficult to pull them this time? It's a bit like the time when I forcibly pulled the mysterious queen last time.

Fortunately, this feeling of exhaustion did not last long. Klein quickly entered Mr. Fool's unfathomable state and looked at the figures that appeared one by one:

Justice, the Hanged Man, the Sun, the Magician, Death, Strength, the Moon, and...

Klein's heart skipped a beat when he saw the crimson star that symbolized Lilith shining brightly, and there was also the Queen!

In the ancient and mysterious palace,

Audrey still greeted everyone as usual: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man..."

This time, she did not follow the order of the tarot cards, but the order of joining the club. She glanced at each person in turn, "Good afternoon, Ms. Strength~ Good afternoon, Ms. Queen..."

"!!!"

Audrey was stunned.

She shifted her gaze somewhat dully from Mr. Moon to the small figure sitting in the Queen's seat.

Lilith...is back?
