Russell's eyes widened immediately. "Oh my god, is that true? Is this your cheat? Can you give me one? I'm not greedy, just give me the old man's Ryujin Jakka._The First Book - 蛧?! More ^辛¨嶵*哙_"

"OK!"

He picked up a wooden stick and handed it to Russell. "Take care of it slowly."

Russell looked the stick up and down and said angrily, "Isn't this just a broken wooden stick? Are you kidding me?"

clang.

Edward gently drew out his Zanpakutō and said, "Shatter, mirror flower and water moon. Blur, mirror flower and water moon."

"Roselle, forget everything I just told you. You will only remember it every time you log into Sefirah Castle, and you will forget it again when you leave Sefirah Castle."

bite.

He closed the knife once again, letting it turn into a sky full of stars and disappear.

"Goodbye, Roselle. I wish you all the best."

A few seconds later,

Russell's eyes fluttered, and he woke up. He scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face: "Huh? Why am I standing here? Just now... I..."

"What was I...doing?"

"Why am I holding a broken stick?"

"But... the shape of this stick seems pretty good... When I had it as a kid, all the rapeseed flowers within a two-mile radius would be ruined..."

"Uh, no."

I always feel like I forgot something very important.

Chapter 646 I'll wait for you in the future

Edward lay on the grass in the garden with his head tilted back, not wanting to move a finger.

Lilith wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Edward, is this okay?"

"Um."

He opened his eyes weakly, "Just one last bit."

"Is it Bernadette?"

"no."

Edward ejected the gold coin, caught it and used [Madness on the Right] at the same time. In just a moment, he felt as if there was a magical energy in his mind.

Imagination.

At this moment, he also roughly figured out how to collect imagination: to guide and inspire others' imagination about everything - the past, the future, technology, the extraordinary world, love, family, friendship, etc.

Imagination not only comes from imagination and fantasy, but also from thinking.

He sat up, stretched out his right hand and let a star worm crawl out from his palm and fall to the ground. Then the star worm quickly grew bigger while wriggling, and in the blink of an eye it turned into the appearance of Edward.

But his eyes were lifeless, like a body without a soul.

"From today on, you will play the role of dreamer on my behalf and collect imaginations. Then... help me keep an eye on Lilith and make sure she doesn't do anything reckless..."

Lilith stamped her feet: "Edward!!"

"Okay, then let's change it to...you have to listen to Lilith when I'm not around."

"And, within your ability, as Roselle's guide, help him change his predetermined fate."

A colorful light emanated from Edward's palm and poured into the body, and his lifeless eyes began to shine.

After a brief adjustment, he said calmly: "Your order is my mission."

"Then, go ahead."

He stepped back and bowed, sketching his disappearance.

A moment later, he arrived at the kingdom of the goddess of night in the astral world. Facing the quiet darkness filled with moonflowers, night herbs and other plants, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I come here on the orders of my true self."

A figure appeared out of thin air. He said nothing, but stretched out his hand and gently pulled at the corner of the void. A thin layer of "night" gently fell, covering "Edward" and penetrated into him silently.

This is the power of the secret authority from the Goddess of Night.

He quietly felt this hidden power, placed his hands on his chest, bowed, then took two steps back and left the star realm.

...

Bernadette felt that after she told her father "Lao Deng, gold coins will appear" yesterday, he suddenly became strange and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

The most inexplicable thing was that he forbade himself to go to Mr. Sparrow's house the next day!

"I don't want to!"

She carefully packed up the puppets and the gifts she had received before, carried them carefully, then opened the window and climbed out.

"Humph! Still want to lock me up?!"

Bernadette clapped her hands proudly, but at this moment her father's voice suddenly came: "Bernadette, where are you going?"

"!!!"

Her little face turned pale and she turned her head with difficulty, only to see her father Russell staring at her with a cold face, looking very angry.

"I...I just want to walk around in the garden."

"real?"

"real!"

Russell suddenly changed the subject: "But don't you think it's particularly boring to walk around in the garden?"

"ah?"

"Do you want to go out to sea to see mermaids again?"

"ah?"

At this moment, the face and body shape of "Roselle" twisted and turned into the appearance of Mr. Sparrow.

"Ah!! Mr. Sparrow, is that you?!"

She finally reacted and pouted, "How annoying. Before, she became a mother, and now she's a father. She just scares the children."

"Hahahaha, then do you still want to go see the mermaid?"

"want!"

Bernadette immediately raised her hand, but quickly asked, "Will Sister Lilith go with us?"

"She won't go this time, let's go together next time."

"All right."

She looked at the package in her hand and said, "I even prepared a gift for her."

"Don't worry, give it to her next time you meet."

Edward took a step forward and held out his hand to her: "Go."

"Set off!"

The moment she held Mr. Sparrow's finger, Bernadette found herself standing on the deck of the Fairytale, surrounded by all kinds of fairy-tale characters. The mermaids on the reef not far away were singing movingly.

She immediately ran forward with a happy look on her face and waved vigorously at the mermaid.

Edward looked at her with a smile for a while, then suddenly said:

"Beibei."

"What?"

"Bye now."

Bernadette looked back blankly: "What?"

Edward looked confused: "What...what?"

"I just heard you say goodbye..."

"No, you must have heard it wrong."

"oh."

She didn't think much about it, "I want to get closer."

"OK."

In the captain's room, Lilith supported the real Edward and stood side by side, watching Bernadette being brought to the reef by "Edward" and watching the mermaid up close.

Lilith said, "I told you, Edward must say goodbye to her one last time."

"No."

Edward looked at her with a smile: "The last one to say goodbye is of course Lilith."

"…"

Lilith was stunned, she dropped her eyes and fell into Edward's arms, "When will you wake up?"

"I don't know yet, but the fastest we can do is wait for the next Lord of Sefirah Castle to advance to Sequence 4 and reopen the gate to the deepest part of Sefirah Castle."

"Is it Klein?"

"That's right."

Lilith raised her head and looked at him, "Then I'll wait for you."

"Hmm~"

"Why."

She suddenly sighed, "I thought that this time I could grow up little by little under Edward's witness. But when Edward woke up again, he saw me as an adult again."

"It's okay. At worst I can use [Illusion] to turn you back into a child."

"…"

Edward patted her on the back and said softly:

"Lilith,

I'll wait for you in the future. -墈?书^君/ !庚~新.最*快?"

...

The future, 1350, Trier.

Bernadette opened her eyes and slowly sat up from the bed. She felt as if she had had a long dream. After waking up, she still couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. Scenes from the past kept flashing through her mind.

She jumped out of bed and walked to the window, looking outside at the garden that had returned to its former appearance. Lilith was sitting on the swing, swinging back and forth like a carefree girl next door.

She rubbed her temples and recalled the conversation she had with Lilith not long ago. It turned out that Mr. Sparrow left earlier than I thought. It turned out that the Mr. Sparrow that her two younger brothers knew when they grew up was just one of his clones.

It turns out that the words "Goodbye, Beibei" that I heard on the Fairy Tale were really said by Mr. Sparrow. It was both a farewell and a departure without saying goodbye.

Bernadette was filled with sorrow:

"That's really annoying, Mr. Sparrow."

You fooled me for so long.

"Yo, you're awake."

Lilith jumped off the swing and walked over: "Do you want to find a place to have breakfast?"

"good."

Bernadette had no objection, after all, she still had many questions in her mind that had not been answered: for example, where was her father now?

"Where's Roselle?"

Sitting in the restaurant, Lilith took a bite of steak, thought for a moment and said, "I actually want to tell you about this question, but..."

"But what?"

Lilith shrugged. "I don't know either."

"You know me, too. Although I've lived longer, I'm the smartest cat in the world. I can learn anything quickly, and I can do anything. I'm the best at everything..."

She spoke a long paragraph in one breath, "But I still don't like those twists and turns, and I try not to use my brain if I can. So, I didn't get involved in what Edward and Russell planned in the end.,白`马~书-院￠ /耕¨薪¨醉\剁-"

"Besides, Chick was always looking for me, so I was hiding most of the time."

Bernadette thought for a moment, "So, Dad actually learned about the future from Mr. Sparrow's... clone?"

"right."

"Is the future he learned about the same as the past we know now?"

"That's right~"

Bernadette fell into deep thought, and after a while she murmured, "But he still did it according to the future he knew. Was it to avoid the time paradox?"

Lilith held her chin and said, "Who knows? We can only find out after we meet Russell or Edward."

"So, where did Mr. Sparrow's later clone go?"

Bernadette asked another question that had puzzled her for a long time, "He suddenly disappeared before my father was assassinated. Where did he go?"

Lilith said, "After all, he was created by Edward using some special ability. He had reached his limit at that time, and before he disappeared automatically, he chose to leave on his own initiative to fulfill his final duty."

"What duties?"

Bernadette had just finished asking when she suddenly sensed something. She tilted her head to look at the sky outside the window and saw more than a dozen huge Intis airships flying quickly, casting a shadow on the surroundings.

Her expression straightened, and her blue eyes suddenly became deep. Half a minute later, they returned to normal, but there was a hint of surprise on her face: "The war has already begun?"

"Yes, it was Feysac who started it first. Backlund has been bombed by the airship."

"Backlund?"

Bernadette was stunned. "It takes hundreds of kilometers for an airship to fly from Feysac to Backlund. Isn't this long enough for Loon to shoot them down? How could they have the chance to fly to Backlund?"

Lilith smiled and said, "Yeah, why?"

"…"

She quickly reacted: "Did Loen acquiesce? Did they deliberately let Feysac bomb Backlund?"

This conclusion is not difficult to draw, but the question is why did Rune do this?

Black Emperor!

Bernadette immediately thought of the news she had heard before: George III was plotting to promote the Black Emperor.

War is definitely the fastest way to deeply connect the king with the kingdom and make the people remember his methods.

Lilith leaned back and smiled, "You'll need to investigate this yourself. Who knows? This might be your best chance to advance to Sequence 2 and meet Roselle."

Chapter 647 Hello, Zhou Mingrui

"!!!"

Bernadette was shocked, and after thinking for a while, she said, "What role does Intis play in this? Why did they also send out the airship?"

"Maybe he's just joining in the fun."

Not only Intis, Fenapotter should also be bustling by now, right?

Only in this way can this war sweep across the entire continent.

...

Misty town.

The game of hide-and-seek between Klein and Mr. A had lasted for half a day.

Because he was suddenly sent here by the powerful man from the Church of Evernight, Klein was unable to bring in a Sequence 4 puppet, and could only temporarily use a Sequence 5 puppet to deal with the enemy. That was the puppet made by Hell Admiral Ludwell, and was the Sequence 5 gatekeeper of the Corpse Collector's Pathway.

Logically speaking, with a Sequence 5 Puppet Master + a Sequence 5 Gatekeeper, plus the Creeping Hunger in Klein's hand, it wouldn't be too difficult to defeat a Sequence 5 Shepherd.

But the problem is that Mr. A can, through some special means, briefly possess the strength of Sequence 4.

If Clien hadn't brought a lot of delicious mushrooms from Frank to distract Mr. A, the situation would have been worse.

As darkness fell again, the town was in danger.

Klein hid in a room and shouted, "Mr. A, if we continue to waste time like this, it will not benefit anyone. I am sure the way to escape is hidden in that church."

"Why don't you stop for now and let me try."

Mr. A huddled up, chewing a mushroom in his hand. His hunger was relieved and he regained a lot of his sanity. His handsome face, which was not like a man's, frowned: "What did you see in that church?"

"Zaratul."

Klein said frankly, "There is a man who claims to be Zaratul. He said the way to leave here is hidden behind a wall of the church."

"Oh, you believe in Him? Before you came, no one who went in came out alive. Why do you think you are special?"

"Maybe it's because... I'm the only fortune teller who has come here so far?"

"Then why don't you just leave the church instead of coming out?"

Klein said: "Because the 'key' to open that door is in your hands."

Mr. A seemed to be thinking about something, and there was something in his hand: "Is that the obsidian?"

At this time, the foggy town was lit up again.

Klein controlled the secret doll and walked out. "Give me the obsidian, and I'll go open the door. If I succeed, everyone will be happy, and you can follow me out of the door. If I fail, you won't suffer any loss."

"How do I know if the door opened with obsidian is a one-time use?"

"So what do you want to do?"

Mr. A "grew" out of the shadows, his hooded robe blood red. He said in a low voice, "I will use 'flesh magic' to get into your body and monitor your condition. When the door you mentioned opens, I will leave your body and enter the door."

Klein asked the secret doll to curl his lips and said, "From what I know, the Rose Bishop can indeed hide in someone else's body, but when he comes out, the host will die on the spot."

"No, that method is used to avoid detection, so it must merge with the host's flesh and blood. This time it is not necessary. I will stay quietly in your stomach."

Klein took out a coin and did some divination. Then he nodded, "No problem."

Mr. A walked towards the secret doll that had transformed into Klein's appearance. His body and "clothes" quickly melted into a mass of sticky flesh and blood, and then turned into a "stream" as thick as an arm, flowing towards Klein.

In a house far away, Klein dry-heaved with a slight nausea, then asked the secret doll to open its mouth.

The "stream of flesh and blood" then climbed up the body of the secret doll and went all the way into his mouth. The slightly warm but slippery feeling passed through the esophagus and entered the stomach.

"Let's go."

Mr. A's voice came.

Passing through the church door, Klein once again entered the church where corpses were hanging. These corpses had their heads lowered and their eyes rolled back. They swayed gently in the wind that blew from time to time, and made mumbling sounds such as "Honachis...Fregela..."

Even though it's not the first time I've seen it, I still find it a bit scary.

Klein walked carefully among the corpses, trying not to touch them. In the distance was a dark altar and a statue of the descendant of an ancient god.

The old man who claimed to be Zaratul was still sitting diagonally behind the stone statue, wearing a hood and with a white beard.

Klein suddenly slowed down his pace and asked in a low voice, "Mr. A, do you know Edward?"

Mr. A, who was hiding in his stomach, was stunned. He didn't expect to hear this name here. He replied with a buzzing sound: "I know him."

"To be honest, Edward and I are good friends. He once told me that you have a close relationship with him and that we are both trusted by the true Creator. So, for his sake, can you please stop doing anything and let us leave this place first?"

After a few seconds of silence, Mr. A said, "Okay."

Soon, Klein came to Zaratul again.

Zaratul glanced at him, as if looking at Klein through the eyes of the secret doll.

But He said nothing. Instead, He stretched out His dry palm and reached forward, pulling out a piece of yellowish-brown parchment, a quill stained with ink, and a bottle of ink.

Klein immediately understood: "He knows very well that the person standing in front of him is a secret doll, but he doesn't care. He just wants me to help him open the door?"

Zaratul picked up the feather pen and wrote words and symbols on the parchment, then rolled it up and handed it over:

"This is the 'open the door' symbol, and the 'trickster' potion formula you requested. They can only last for three quarters of an hour, and cannot be taken to the outside world."

Klein unfolded the parchment, allowing the potion formula and the 'open door' symbol to come into view at the same time.
