Chapter 90 52 Hidden Sage’s Gaze
Chapter 90 Chapter 52 Hidden Sage’s Gaze
Bernadette grabbed Alice with quick eyes and hands.
Alice never imagined that introducing the Internet to Bernadette would attract the attention of the Hidden Sage.
——She was no stranger to those eyes belonging to the Hidden Sage. The last time she saw them was behind Old Neil.
She could barely restrain the fear in her heart. After they waited with bated breath for the Hidden Sage to leave, her legs went weak and she couldn't stand still.
"Sorry," Bernadette apologized to Alice after helping her stand up again, "I didn't expect that this would attract the attention of the Hidden Sage."
Alice shook her head in shock, and asked with lingering fear: "Why did the Hidden Sage suddenly... suddenly cast his gaze?"
Bernadette looked at Alice and replied with unclear emotions:
“Only the real, extremely rare and secret knowledge will attract the attention of the Hidden Sage.
"In other words, what you said is true. There really was a civilization in this world without extraordinary power like what you described, and it has long since disappeared in the long river of history, and no one knows about it."
However, Alice's expression was not the emotion that the words she said were confirmed - instead, her expression revealed a deeper level of panic than the instinctive fear she had when she saw the Hidden Sage just now.
Bernadette heard Alice's incredible voice: "Is there really a technological civilization without extraordinary power like what I described in this world?"
"Did you lie to me just now?" Bernadette asked with a frown.
"No," Alice closed her eyes and said softly, "We really come from such a civilization, but we all thought that that civilization did not exist in this world."
Bernadette was slightly startled, but Alice's voice continued: "I should have thought of it... There are 12 months and 365 days in a year, and 24 hours in a day. There is a sun and a moon in the sky, and the same is true here. It can be proven to be a planet... How can there be so many coincidences in the world?"
Bernadette stared at Alice quietly, but Alice was still immersed in her own thoughts.
"Time travel" is not an unfamiliar concept to children living in modern society, but if the world you travel to once had the civilization in your memory, it would be very scary.
——Are you from that long-lost civilization or from another world?
For Alice, what frightened her the most was the last words Shen Yinghuan heard before her death: "Huanhuan, if you travel into the mystery, you must be a born monster!"
Did she...did she travel to another world, or was that book actually a prophecy?
This was a suspicion that Alice simply could not verify.
Bernadette seemed to have judged something from Alice's reaction. She frowned and asked, "Why do you all think that civilization does not exist in this world?"
Upon hearing the question, Alice suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and answered with a completely different mood than before: "Because 'time travel' is not an unfamiliar concept to us."
"Time travel?" Bernadette frowned and repeated Alice's words.
Alice organized her language and explained: "Well... this is a very popular literary theme in our time. To put it roughly, it means waking up in a strange other world after death... Well, it might also be... Traveled to the past or future?"
"Your civilization and literature seem to be developing very well?" Bernadette asked tentatively.
"Hmm... maybe it's because we have universalized compulsory education?" Alice tilted her head and guessed.
"Compulsory education?" Bernadette asked. Alice explained with some hesitation: "Probably, basic education does not require tuition and book fees, such as basic literacy, arithmetic, music, art..."
"Wait," Bernadette interrupted Alice, "These... are considered basic education?"
"Count it, and more," Alice nodded, and continued, "There are also physics, chemistry, biology...well, in short, some basic scientific knowledge, and then there are also politics, history, geography...anyway, there are some Basic education……"
Bernadette, who lived in an era when even literacy was not free, fell into deep thought.
Universalizing compulsory education is just a simple statement for Alice, who is not good at thinking about these issues.
For Bernadette, this means that this civilization is already very wealthy - it has at least solved the problem of people's food and clothing, and has at least achieved a fairly high degree of industrialization so that children can sit in school and study with peace of mind. .
And behind this, the productivity and wealth represented were beyond Bernadette's imagination.
And what was even more difficult for her to imagine was—why did such a huge civilization disappear into history without even leaving a trace?
Even the spirit world cannot capture the information of that lost civilization...
Bernadette thought for a long time, but finally just said: "...If you need help, you can ask."
Alice was silent for a moment and said seriously to Bernadette: "...You may not be able to help me."
Bernadette frowned and looked at Alice.
"I want to know the potion formula for sequence 0 of the 'destiny' pathway." Alice shrugged and replied.
"...Why do you need this?" Bernadette looked at Alice incomprehensibly, "No, how do you know Sequence 0?"
"It was mentioned in your father's diary," Alice shrugged. "As for why I need this... Is it strange for Extraordinaries to collect potion formulas?"
"..." Bernadette looked at Alice and answered the question with her eyes.
"...Okay," Alice sighed, "But what's the use of asking this? Do you really have what I want?"
"If you read his diary, do you know the card of blasphemy?" Bernadette looked at Alice and asked.
"I know," Alice nodded, suddenly thinking of a possibility, "Do you have the blasphemy card of the 'Destiny' path in your hand?"
Bernadette nodded.
"...A 'mercury snake' is chasing me," Alice lowered her eyes and replied in a calm voice, "I suspect it is the potion material for his promotion to sequence 0."
Bernadette opened her mouth, but said nothing for a long time.
"So... what is the potion material in sequence 0 of the 'Destiny' pathway?" Alice looked at Bernadette and asked calmly.
When she met Alice's gaze, for a moment, Bernadette felt that the air was stagnant, and an invisible threat enveloped her. When she tried to search carefully, the threat was long gone.
