The key to all spirits.
This is what Roland called the ring on his hand.
Starting from this morning, this gorgeous silver ring suddenly appeared on his hand. Because of the unimpeded touch that seemed to blend into the skin, its presence was unusually low.
When Roland belatedly discovered it and took it off doubtfully, he discovered something unusual about the ring. It had obviously been placed on the table, and the moment he closed the door, it reappeared in Roland's hand, as if it had never left.
Whether it is locked in a box or thrown out of the window, the ring will reappear on his hand in the next moment. Just when Roland is still worried about how to deal with such a key to all spirits and this one that looks like a golden finger. When I figured out what function the thing had, the clock on the wall had already reached twelve noon.
Then, he suddenly traveled through time.
This is why Roland sat alone on the bench at the entrance of the park, wearing only a thin shirt and jacket when everyone else was wearing winter clothes.
"So, is this Japan? Or is it a so-called parallel world?"
Roland looked around calmly. He was not an international student, but the signs hanging on the surrounding high-rise buildings and the Japanese characters on the street signs clearly revealed this.
Contrary to Roland's expectation, he was not surprised by the fact of traveling through the world itself.
Because, when he came to this new world, Roland, who was wearing the Key of All Spirits, thought of the various abilities and information possessed by this ring.
The Key of All Souls can not only travel through the world, but also give Roland various surreal abilities. The reason why he chose Roland is simple because he has the qualifications.
This qualification does not refer to Roland's own wisdom, talent, or character, but the qualification to contact unknown beings in the void.
In a nutshell, Roland's inspiration is very high.
This qualification, which is unremarkable in real life and even somewhat dangerous, is the reason why Roland is bound to the Key of All Spirits.
The Key of All Spirits contains many bonded spirits. They used to be some kind of special existence. Some were gods that existed in the long past, some were abnormal but powerful mortals, and even diverse races from other worlds. Except for a few special In this situation, most of these bonded spirits are in a state of half-death, not even a remnant soul.
In order to retain their power and destroy their will, the owner of the Key of All Spirits can use a contract to obtain the power of the bonded spirit at a certain price, and after completing certain conditions, completely digest them and transfer the bonded spirit's power to them. The power is completely yours.
But in the final analysis, the Key of All Spirits is just a prop without self-awareness. Its power is incomplete without the user's control. After all, the object of the contract belongs to both parties from the beginning.
When wandering aimlessly across the heavens and worlds, mechanically looking for masters, and creating new bonded spirits, there will always be some lucky bonded spirits that are not successfully received after being created by chance. Scattered in various worlds.
As a person selected by the Key of All Spirits, Roland's mission is to recycle these scattered spirit spirits and improve his authority until he becomes the true master of the Key of All Spirits.
In all senses, the Key of All Souls can be called an excellent golden finger. Although it has a goal, it is not mandatory. If he is willing to mess around, he can live in this world for a lifetime.
As a simple prop, the Key of All Souls would not issue any mandatory tasks to Roland that would be punished if he did not complete them. The message it conveyed only told how to enhance his authority.
Apart from the fact that his first time traveling without any warning was a bit unexpected, Roland was very satisfied with the fact that he had obtained the golden finger. Anyway, he had no worries in the original world.
"But, is this really a different world?"
Roland was a little embarrassed by the sight of the people around him. Because it was at the entrance of the park, there was still a lot of people coming in and out. Roland, who was only wearing a thin coat, was still a little conspicuous to the people around him who had begun to wear thicker clothes.
If he hadn't been in his early twenties, and his age, which had not even faded away from his childishness in the ivory tower of the university, could be used as a cover-up, the curious glances directed at him would probably have been several times greater.
After nearly half an hour of observation, Roland could preliminarily conclude that this is a world that has entered the modern era. Although he does not know what the differences are in the development of history and culture, from the perspective of technological level, it should be better than his original one. The world is earlier.
Judging from the clothes of people passing by and the housewives playing with their children in the park, there shouldn't be any well-known supernatural abilities... at least not on the surface.
"Anyway, let's collect some information first."
Roland stood up and walked towards the park. On a bench near the flower bed, an office worker in a suit had already put away his lunch box. He stood up from the bench and hurriedly walked out of the park. .
And he obviously had no intention of picking up the newspaper that he had casually folded and put aside. Although Roland had only read newspapers when he was a child, he was still concerned about the status that this seemingly thin paper once had in the media. Someone who knows a thing or two.
In the past half hour, no matter whether it was the mothers who were quietly watching their children playing and chatting, or the social animals who came to this pleasant park for a lunch break or meal, no one took out their mobile phones to play with them. For social animals who have a very tight need for time, the tool to confirm the time is either a watch on their wrist, or a wall clock as tall as a flagpole located in the center of the lawn.
This was a very fresh sight for him living in a modern society. You must know that in the old-fashioned residential area where he rented before crossing over, where there were almost no young people, there were also groups of elderly people in groups. There are several people who play short videos at high volume.
If nothing else happens, this newspaper should be able to bring him a lot of information. Even so, Roland doesn't expect to solve his doubts about the world he lives in through a newspaper.
Roland unfolded the newspaper, sat on a chair, and covered his expression with the large newspaper while scanning the Chinese characters he recognized.
The first thing that caught his attention was the small black letters above the newspaper column. Next to the numbers showing the date, the words Heisei 6 were also marked in brackets.
"1994, this was the period of the bubble economy, right?"
Roland subconsciously looked from the left side, and then his eyes were dazzled by the dense pseudonyms and small announcements separated into columns. For people who have no language foundation, reading a newspaper that uses text as the main carrier can be difficult. Not a good experience.
Destiny always seems to like to reveal her cunning side inadvertently.
Just when Roland thought he would find nothing and started to pay attention to the headlines in newspapers with Chinese characters as the main body, he saw a headline.
——Fuyuki City has the highest temperature in the past at 11.2 degrees Celsius
On the right side of the title, a sign-like font printed in black print explains the name of the newspaper.
Fuyuki News.
He was very familiar with this term. Or rather, although he did not dare to go online and call himself Yue Chu, Roland had also read many works in this series.
But if he really traveled to Fuyuki City as an ordinary person, even if Roland thought he was quite calm, he would be a little unbearable.
Roland has long been familiar with the daily life of Kahei in Fuyuki City.
Although the specific year is not known, judging from the era, the current time point is undoubtedly the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Roland took a deep breath and exhaled it for a long time, forcing himself to calm down his thoughts, but even so, the maddening emotions would at most be in a trance.
According to the convention, even if there is a trial, generally speaking, shouldn’t it be started with Academy Revelations? Isn't it a bit over the top to put the first stop for normal people in the world of Xingyue?
The luckiest thing in misfortune is that after looking through the newspaper, except for the incident of someone being killed in a small column on the side, Roland did not find any sensational news such as a gas explosion. The current Fourth World War, Presumably it hasn't officially started yet.
But this was no consolation. In the winter afternoon, Bei Feng's ruthless attitude was just like Roland's current state of mind, sinking into the bottom little by little in the desolation.
He zipped his coat to the top and wrapped it as tightly as possible to preserve body temperature. Roland touched his belly and realized another more realistic problem.
Compared with the illusory Fourth Holy Grail War that is far away in the horizon, where to stay tonight and what to eat next are issues that require more attention from him.
He now has three debuffs, a language barrier, a black household registration, and no money. He is still in a strange city. After getting rid of the novelty of time travel, the fear and fear of the future immediately surged into his heart.
Only when one is in danger can one realize the beauty of a peaceful life that is easily overlooked.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand that was shaking in the wind, Roland's face darkened. He wondered if this was a hint from God. He had just traveled through time, and this was what he was doing?
"And the tramp's achievements are not earned here, right? Shouldn't they be on the other continent? High school students are a specialty of Japan, right?"
Speaking of his violent remarks, Roland patted his face to dispel his uneasiness. He couldn't sit still and wait for death when things happened. What's more, even if he gave himself a chance to give up the Key to All Souls, he would still choose to hold it. Bar.
No one can ignore the miracle that is so close at hand.
Moreover, he still has a chance to reverse his fate.
Roland rubbed the ring on his hand, feeling the message conveyed by the other party.
Key to all spirits
——Possessing a contract spirit: None
——Number of contract spirit extractions: one
This ring is not a wishing machine, and it cannot freely choose the abilities you like like the convenient Lord God. However, it is a tool that can create contract spirits in all the worlds. It cannot have any effect on the person chosen by it. Perception, right?
Roland does not expect the power to destroy the world, just like the bonded spirit is not a free Doraemon, but he longs for an opportunity.
"Extract the contract spirit."
Roland pondered for a while, silently gave instructions in his heart, closed his eyes, and waited for his fate to come.
Then, the chaotic silvery light appeared in his closed eyes, shrinking, twisting, and conveying the result.
