"Next, do you want to go to Moon City with me?"

Hearing the high priest's words, Klein half turned around, and pointed at the solidified gray fog with the lantern in his hand:
"When did you start trying to open this barrier? What did you gain?"

He has basically determined that the high priest was just parasitized, and his thoughts are not currently under control, nor is he defrauding him.At the same time, Klein once again asked for a cross from Medici's hand, making it emit a warm golden light like the sun.

The Beyonders of Moon City stared intently at the golden cross in Klein's hand, their eyes and faces were dyed golden by the light.They knew that this was the Lord's item, but they also knew that it was probably the Lord's relic.

In this way, no matter what the reason is, it is impossible for the high priest to lie to him.

High Priest Nim said frankly:
"At first, it was the oracle of the Lord. He asked us to try to find a way to pass through this fog while guarding."

"After the earth was cursed, we took this as the main direction in order to find hope, but there was no real gain. No matter what method we used, this frozen fog did not respond..."

Having said that, Nim hesitated and said:

"It's not completely unresponsive, but it's not the kind of response we want."

Klein saw hope at once, and kept speaking at a normal speed, and asked:
"What's the reaction?"

Nim said: "More than 730 years ago, the high priest at that time had an inspiration in the face of the cruel fact that Moon City had failed to achieve nearly 2000 years of trying."

"He feels that he can't treat this mist purely as a barrier that needs to be opened, or a seal that needs to be broken through, but as a great existence."

"He designed honorable names, prayer words, and corresponding symbols for this fog, and held rituals here again and again, trying to communicate and pray."

...This is really a way of thinking that normal people can't think of... I didn't think of it just now... Sure enough, after so many years, there must have been a lot of people with strange thinking in Moon City... The time of more than 3000 years is not given for nothing... Ryan felt a burst of emotion in his heart, nodded slightly and said:
"Have you had feedback since?"

Nim replied in the affirmative with a nasal voice, and continued:

"Once, the high priest changed the first sentence of his honorific title to 'the eternal mist...', and then, in the following ceremony, he faintly heard voices coming from the depths of the mist at the end of the ceremony , Unfortunately, I can’t hear clearly, and I can’t try to interpret the specific meaning.”

"From then to now, we have held countless ceremonies, and found that not every time there is a response, and even if there is a response, it may not be so timely. We need to wait patiently."

"You designed a honorable name for the seal?" Medici was surprised, "That's great, how did your high priest's brain grow?"

So this gray mist is a kind of seal?You guys seem to know more than we do... Nim looked at the red-haired man suspiciously, not sure whether he was complimenting or belittling, so he nodded without speaking.

Thoughts in Klein's mind turned quickly, and he asked while thinking:
"How many times can it be successful?"

"There is no pattern. Sometimes it is successful once, and sometimes there may not be any feedback in a month." High Priest Nim sighed, "We have made many improvements, but none of them are useful."

"Did you hear what those voices were saying afterward?" Klein turned to ask.

"No, maybe our sequence is not high enough, and our strength is not strong enough." Nim shook his head.

If this is the reason, then I can give it a try... Klein considered it for a few seconds and asked politely:

"Please tell me the time, approximate location and materials of your ceremony. I want to give it a try."

……

Colin looked at the young man in front of him calmly, and said in a calm tone:
"Derrick, you came to the library of the Round Tower again today, and you also came yesterday. What are you looking for?"

When Derrick's name was suddenly called, he reflexively put down the hardcover book in his hand, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Hearing the chief's words, he tried his best to think, but felt that he was just repeating the process of "coming to the round tower-looking for things-leaving the round tower".He himself is also very strange, he has been looking for something, but he forgot what he was looking for.

Between the bookshelves of the Round Tower Library, the old and the young stood like this, less than two meters apart.

"I... I should be... looking for something..."

Colin nodded and asked again: "Then what are you looking for?"

"Since last week, you have been coming here every day, staying here for a few hours and then leaving. Sometimes it is me, sometimes other elders talk to you, but you seem to have no memory of the past at all. Every time you come, you behave Like the first time."

"Today is the fifth day." After the sunrise and sunset, the City of Silver received a clock sent by "The Fool" from the outside world, which can more accurately record the time and date changes. Corring paused, his tone Unchanged, "Remember what you have forgotten."

What did you forget?Derrick's eyes froze for a moment, and he couldn't believe his ears:

"I... come every day?"

Colin watched him silently.

Derrick was a little uncertain about what the chief meant—in the City of Silver, there was only one person who could do this kind of thing, but they couldn't rashly name each other—they both felt that the current scene was somewhat familiar, Some strange images vaguely appeared in his mind. It was the process of him entering the round tower again and again, which reminded him of the "cycles" he experienced when he met Jack a long time ago.

Is His Royal Highness "Angel of Destiny" trapping me?
But... He asked me to come to the library every day, why?What are you looking for?
Derrick was puzzled, he didn't know where he did something wrong, nothing happened in the City of Silver recently, prayers to the Lord and the "fool" and some small sacrificial activities never went wrong, why never The "Angel of Destiny" who has never intervened in the internal affairs of the City of Silver will suddenly act and use "circulation" to imply him?
But Derrick, who has experienced so many things, is no longer a simple teenager. He quickly looked at the ancient book he was holding in his hand—it was a general education textbook about the history of the City of Silver. He blinked, feeling as if An idea slipped from my mind quickly.

Derrick turned to ask the chief, and asked seriously:

"Chief, what books have I been reading in the library these days?"

Colin stared into Derrick's eyes, and then looked at the general education textbook in his hand:

"Just this one."

"?"

"Every day you come here, you come back to this place, open this book, and then look at the contents in a daze." Colin Iliad said slowly, "This is why I think you are caught in a 'loop' One of the reasons...you're always doing the same thing over and over."

"..."

Derrick's eyes widened.

The chief doesn't seem to be affected by the "cycle", and he can even observe and summarize his behavior patterns, but the chief's implication is nothing more than to let him think about it, what he is looking for must be in this book , but only he himself knows.

Derrick immediately lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand.

I saw that the general textbook on mythology and history in my hand happened to be borrowed by him a long time ago for other members of the Tarot Club to study. On the edge of the book, there were light fingernail marks left by him as a record. .

The current page is also about the related records of the ancestors of the City of Silver about "the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God", and briefly introduced the "eight kings of angels who surround the Lord." '"... Derrick has already learned the names of these people with the help of "The Fool", and passed the truth of the "Catastrophe" to the chief, which is also very familiar to them.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this page... Derrick carefully read this page back and forth several times, but didn't find any clues.

What is "Angel of Destiny" trying to imply?
"...The Lord is surrounded by eight kings of angels, and there are records that they are called..."

Derrick frowned, and read the whole page again.He stared at the unfinished sentence at the end of the page, and finally turned the page hesitantly.

—The first line reads "Angel of Time".

Derrick stared at the line, pondered, remained silent, and finally closed the book slowly.

"Angel of Time"?Amon?

Has Amon appeared in Silver City again?This time, why is it not Mister Fool who sent a warning, but the "Angel of Destiny" under the command of the same master who theoretically should be reminding himself?

Too many bad thoughts flashed through Derrick's mind. Derrick looked at the chief standing not far from him, and suddenly felt fear in his heart belatedly.

——Is the chief trustworthy?

Could the Chief have been parasitized by Amon?
Is he asking about my abnormality, or is he testing whether I have discovered Amon?

The lack of information is frightening, Derrick's scalp is numb, and he doesn't know what kind of expression he should use to look at Chief Colin. How many times has he realized that something is wrong?

"What's wrong with you?" Colin looked at him a little strangely.

"Nothing." Derrick licked his lips, his voice a little dry, "Nothing..."

Colin glanced at Derrick suspiciously, but didn't force him to ask anything. Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, he quietly turned and left.

Derrick's Adam's apple rolled, and he wasn't sure if his thoughts were right, but he didn't dare to keep his guesses alone in his stomach.So, after Colin left, he moved his fingers quickly, inadvertently leaving a small scratch under the name "Angel of Time".

Then, he closed the book and put it neatly on the shelf.

……

After trying again and again, as the projection of the altar disappeared, the high priest of Moon City Nim thought about it and said to Gehrman Sparrow who was carrying the strange lantern:
"It doesn't seem to work today. You can wait until tomorrow and try again. The longest will not exceed two months."

At this moment, Klein's mind was full of another question:
Could it be that the ceremony was not successful because of the perfunctory use of historical pore images?
He deeply reviewed himself, and decided to listen to the words of the High Priest of Moon City, and try again tomorrow. When the time comes, he must ask the other party to bring real materials.

Just as he was about to nod, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

The voice came from the depths of the gray mist, layer upon layer, faint and extremely vague.

Has it worked?This ritual really worked, but the delay was too high... Klein was overjoyed, and immediately raised his right hand, lowered it slightly, and signaled the Beyonders in Moon City not to speak.

He immediately held his breath, collected his thoughts, and began to listen intently.

The sound that reverberated in the gray mist seemed to come from many different objects, they were intertwined, sometimes interfered with each other, canceled each other, sometimes overlapped and resonated.

Gradually, the voice became clearer in Klein's ears, especially when it resonated.

It seemed to be a language he was familiar with, and it seemed that countless people were chanting a name together.

That name is:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun".

"........."

When he clearly heard the voices deep in the gray mist, Klein trembled slightly, and the back of his head went numb for an instant.

This feeling quickly spread to the top of his head and to various parts of his body, causing tiny pimples to bulge on the surface of his skin.

This is the second time he has heard the name "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" from "others" in the real world!
On the edge of the legendary "Western Continent", outside the disappearing hometown, Klein heard the spell that caused him to "travel" for the first time in the real world, and heard one of the most important secrets hidden in his heart. I heard the oriental honorable name that I don't know which existence it refers to.

Standing there, his mind was almost blank, and what echoed in his ears were sometimes vague and sometimes clear chanting and shouting:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun...

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun...

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun..."

When these voices got lower and lower and almost disappeared, Klein finally regained his thoughts.

As a false god who has done a lot of "bad things", his first reaction is:
"I changed 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' to 'The Yellow and Black King in charge of good fortune', will I be punished by God?"

Many strange thoughts popped up in Klein's mind uncontrollably. Then, he tilted his head calmly, wanting to see if the Extraordinary and others in Moon City had heard the gray matter just now. Prayers in the fog.

At the moment when he turned his head, Klein's expression froze suddenly.

He saw the Extraordinary from Moon City rub his eyes, then he narrowed his eyes, took out a monocle from his pocket, wiped it, and brought it to his right eye.

"..." Klein was a little numb. He temporarily forgot about other things, and his eyes were fixed on that Extraordinary.

High Priest Nim sensed the abnormality of the envoy. He glanced back and explained to Klein:
"This is a decoration that has become popular in our Moon City recently."

"It can also be used as an auxiliary device for the treatment of eye diseases... It is said that this is one of the items of 'The Fool', and we all like it."

The last sentence that the high priest added was incompatible, and it was obviously said to curry favor with the envoy of The Fool, but when it fell into Klein's ears, it gave him goosebumps on his back, and even made his hair stand on end.

He looked at the unattractive Extraordinary, and felt that every expression, every movement, and even the slight ups and downs of the corners of his mouth seemed to have turned into Amon's sneer.

Southern Continent.

"You said that your food factory over there is willing to sell some of the compressed food that was squeezed before and is about to expire at a low price?"

While crossing the document in his hand, Richard answered Audrey's words without raising his head: "The name of the food factory you said you wanted to buy is... oh, go buy it—you go buy it Let’s go, hahahaha, but buy a part of it first, don’t overdo it, and let me have a look after you buy it.”

Letty Orr didn't know why, but when she heard that the angel was willing to help her check the quality of food, she still smiled:
"Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, she looked around the room, but did not see Taufik.

The sage has recovered, as of last week, but is still reluctant to be where Letty Orr is.

"Is there anything else besides this?" Richard looked busy.

There was a little noise outside, as if something was going on.Letty quickly shook her head and smoothed the folds of the light-colored apron on her knees with her hands: "No, I'm going to the hospital to continue working. By the way, please continue to pay attention to Katya's matter. She is a very Good boy, and can do handicrafts."

Richard flipped through the documents that were all written in Dutan. Audrey had never learned this language, so she couldn't understand the content on it. She could only judge by Richard's expression that the content on it didn't seem to be something she liked.

"Oh, I know what you mean."

Richard nodded: "I'm thinking about the factory. It's the best way to gather the girls and let them learn handicrafts. But we don't have much money now... Well, we have money. I will do it later. Send a resentful soul to build a factory school."

Letty breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

She stood up, got up and was about to leave, and then she saw Richard stood up first, and threw the three documents in his hand out the window.

"A middle-class aristocrat who seeks the people's fat and anointing to please the North Continent, a planter who waits for an opportunity to betray the country and send money to slaves in the North Continent, and a worker who pays workers a maximum wage of only 6% and does not pay for work-related injuries."

"The family property is quite a lot, it adds up to 10,000+ pounds... I'm so happy, it's finally time to liquidate these guys!"

The Temperance Angel stood up and stretched, with a sunny smile on his face.

He seemed to be about to do a long-awaited thing, and his whole person exuded a happy aura that could make the ruins full of small flowers.I saw Richard leisurely walking to the bedside, looking at the bustling people on the street below, the three documents he threw fell down like three pigeons, attracting the attention of the emotional crowd below.Under people's watchful eyes, the white pigeon turned into hemp rope, and precisely hoisted the three people standing on the high platform, and hung them on the protrusions of the buildings on both sides of the street.

Under the action of huge force, with just a snap, the spines of the three people were all broken in an instant, and their necks grew suddenly.

The broken spine was barely connected together by the flesh, and the tongue spit out uncontrollably, and together with the neck, it was getting longer and longer.

"After the property is liquidated, it will be distributed according to the list of poor households and workers. There are no street lights... no street lights! Modernization must also be put on the agenda. Send someone to learn some skills from Intis. Without street lights, it feels like a lack. something happened..."

"Well, the children of this family are still young and haven't enjoyed the parents' dirty money for a few years. They are sent to the orphanage for a good education. According to the custom, when they grow up, tell her the real situation of the family and let her choose. The only son of this family has already inherited part of it. Family property? Very good, very good, I will work for 20 years after being arrested, undergo labor reform, deprive of political rights for life, and see the result of the reform to decide whether to become a commoner or..."

Richard yawned and waved to Letty who was stunned:

"Help me get that stack over there too."

"Well, today I put together the rich people who have saved for a long time. Don't stand there in a daze, save time."
