Zhou Mingrui still feels a little unreal. He has often seen this kind of time travel in the Internet. However, reality is reality. How can this kind of time travel happen in the real world?
This is completely unscientific. It’s a pity that such unscientific things have happened to him. Not only that, but also even more unscientific things have happened to the person named Klein whom he traveled to. Not only Klein He committed suicide, especially because after he committed suicide, the body came back to life in a strange way. He even saw with his own eyes the blood hole that penetrated the entire skull, squirming and recovering bit by bit.
Others say that his mind is wide open, but Zhou Mingrui's mind is really wide open now, in a physical sense.
If time travel, resurrection from the dead, and slow recovery after having an open mind are nothing, he can regard the latter two as the help of golden fingers obtained by time travel, which prevented him from dying immediately.
But those weird and terrifying things that originally happened to Klein will also be with him from now on.
Zhou Mingrui had a premonition that if he had not died this time, those strange things would not be far away from him. They would still haunt him until he truly died. By that time, Zhou Mingrui would not know whether he could still die. Resurrected?
So the best way he can think of now is of course not to solve these mysteries about himself, nor to find a way to make his life better in this age that is probably similar to the steam era, but to find a way to travel back in time.
After all, although this era seems to hide all kinds of mysteries, this is not his world after all. Go home, Zhou Mingrui instinctively thought in his heart.
So he immediately thought of the transshipment ritual. He didn't know if his time travel had anything to do with this ritual, but even if there was only the slightest chance, he wanted to go back.
Zhou Mingrui began to think of ways to collect materials for the ceremony.
And now, he returns to his home with these materials. Fortunately, the various secret techniques in the Qin and Han secret alchemy records are very down-to-earth, and there are no rare materials that are hard to buy. All the materials are simple, straightforward, and most importantly, cheap.
Moreover, after the Corn Act was repealed, not only grain, but all kinds of food also fell in price.
Finally in your own home.
Zhou Mingrui, or rather Klein, walked in a counterclockwise square while silently chanting: "Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun, Fusheng Xuanhuang God, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."
Immediately afterwards, Klein felt that the air seemed to have stopped flowing and became very viscous. Various inexplicable whispers sounded in his ears. He felt a headache again, the same pain as before when his mind was wide open. He felt that he His head is about to explode.
Could this be the legendary self-inflicted crime? If you don't seek death, you won't die?
He knew clearly that this ritual might be related to the secret of his time travel, and the world was so weird and terrifying. The original Klein died inexplicably because of this. He even shot himself in the head with a pistol in his own home. But the people around him didn't notice it at all.
Is he going to die soon?
Thinking like this, Klein saw a diffuse gray fog, hazy, fuzzy, and boundless.
The gray mist was dotted with many crimson stars, and Klein, who had just made it clear that he was seeking death, stretched out his paws towards a star like a curious cat.
Then, the Tarot Club will be officially established.
As if destined by fate.
Backlund's most dazzling gem, Audrey Hall, held an ancient bronze mirror in her hand. She recited a spell that she had dreamed up in adolescence. At this age, she would find this spell very handsome. It's great, but when I look back at this spell as an adult, I feel like my toes are almost digging into the ground.
"Mirror Mirror, wake up soon..." comes from the writings of Emperor Russell when he was young, and the spell used by the evil queen to order the omniscient mirror in Snow White Princess.
"In the name of the Hall family, I order you to wake up!" This is a variation of the incantation recited by the protagonist in another work of The Great when he receives the help of the Lord of the Rings.
In the end, nothing happened. Seeing this, Audrey just put the mirror gently back on her desk. This extraordinary item said to be collected by the Black Emperor of the Solomon Empire did not work. Audrey did not feel it. Disappointed, because she always felt that these were ancient items that her father had randomly picked up from somewhere to deceive her.
The purpose is not to get involved in the battleship that is said to be a spaceship and is staying in the sky above Baekeland.
She wanted to secretly listen to Earl Hall discussing this matter with another familiar viscount outside his study, but she was immediately discovered when she heard about the spaceship and other things, and then Earl Hall casually Give her this mirror and send her away.
Just as she was thinking this, a red light appeared in front of Audrey's eyes. When her vision recovered, she only found that she appeared in a gray mist, and in the gray mist, the mysterious man Klein, and another person... A man with a blurry face and an equally blurry figure also appeared here.
…
…
For Klein, it was a pity that the transfer ritual failed to successfully return him to his original world. However, in this gray fog world, he seemed to have partial control, which was quite useful to him. He can rely on this gray mist to pull some specific people into this world, and then obtain information or conduct transactions!
Helping him understand more about the mysteries of this world may solve Klein's troubles and even make him an extraordinary person. One day, he will be able to find a way to go back.
And now, the first gathering unfolds like this.
In the gray mist world of the royal court hall of ancient giants supported by towering stone pillars.
Klein sat at the main seat of the long bronze table and listened to the two newcomers talking about how to become extraordinary.
After these conversations and exchanges, Klein learned that anyone who wanted to become an Extraordinary must take specific potions, so he would either join those church organizations, but this would make him lose his freedom, or he would find some ancient Family inheritance, or some evil organization.
On the other hand, another gentleman has two Sequence Nine magic potion formulas in his hands. The lady from a noble and wealthy family wants to trade, and he, Klein, as the builder and witness of the platform, can directly prostitute for free!
This made him feel very happy.
In the end, under Audrey's suggestion, Mr. Fool decided to normalize the trading form of Tarot Club.
At the first party, Miss Justice asked Mr. Hanged Man about Tarot cards and got some answers.
However, the Hanged Man explained these things very quickly. He obviously had some questions that he wanted to ask, so after telling Miss Justice about the twenty-two divine paths, he immediately changed the topic: "Miss Justice , if I guessed correctly, you should live in Backlund, I want to ask you if anything strange has happened in Backlund recently."
Audrey was not surprised that the Hanged Man guessed the city she was in, because the clothes she wore this time, the tone and tone of her speech all revealed part of the truth.
She is not worried that the other party can guess her true identity. Backlund, there are too many people here. Even the ladies of the same age as her from noble families cannot be counted at all. If we add those businessmen, , middle-class ladies, if they want to find her true identity, it is completely like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, Klein could feel his head tingling. He realized that this was caused by him being in this gray fog world for a long time, or by pulling others into this world.
So after hesitating for a while, he decided to interrupt the communication between the two people, and then find a way to end the party. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it. What if he kicked the two people away without saying a word? What problem does a person think he has with his identity?
However, just as he was about to tap the edge of the long bronze table, Miss Justice showed a thoughtful look and responded: "Mr. Hanged Man, you actually want to know about the Backlund spaceship, right? ?”
'spacecraft? ! When Klein heard this word, his aching mind felt as if he had traveled through time again?
Didn't he come to a world similar to the European Steam Age?
The most common means of transportation on the road in the world are probably horse-drawn carriages or human-powered chartered vehicles.
People used kerosene lamps and installed gas in their homes. This was a slightly mysterious world where capitalism and colonialism had not long developed.
If it weren't for the existence of maps of Loen and even Backlund in Klein's memory, and if it weren't for the geography lessons he took when he was in school, he would even think that Loen is Britain in another world, and Backlund is another world. of london.
So how could such a thing as a spaceship exist in such a world?
Klein decided that even if he endured the severe pain in his head, he would forcefully listen to the information and stop the gathering before he was about to pass out.
"Spaceship? Are you absolutely sure that is the spaceship recorded in Emperor Russell's manuscript?" the Hanged Man said in a surprised tone.
Miss Justice realized at this time that although she could confirm from the conversation between her father and Mr. Viscount that the UFO floating over Backlund was indeed a spaceship, for others, for people other than Backlund, What exactly this unidentified floating object is is still difficult to determine.
Miss Justice hesitated for a moment and realized that she should show her intelligence ability in front of the Fool. Moreover, it seemed that the Fool was also listening to this matter and seemed to be very interested in it, so she nodded and recalled : "Well, most of the nobles in Backlund have basically determined that this is a spaceship. They determined it through the method of extraordinary people, and now it is said that the kingdom has sent an envoy to communicate and meet with the owner of the spaceship. , I think within a week, maybe there will be results."
The Hanged Man said calmly: "I hope it won't be the same as when we discovered the Southern Continent."
Klein quickly thought of the history he had studied. Emperor Russell discovered the Southern Continent and the correct route to the Southern Continent. After that, Intis and other countries began to colonize the Southern Continent.
Soon, Klein began to think about what would happen if the spaceship was a colonial spacecraft and a civilization capable of crossing the universe discovered a backward steam-age civilization?
Is it violent destruction, is it conquest, is it ignorance or anything else?
Klein suddenly felt that the city he was in had become a little unsafe now, because Tingen was also a famous university city, with two famous universities, Tingen and Hoy.
If aliens want to attack and occupy this world or this planet, then Tingen City may also become one of their targets!
Being a coward, Klein immediately planned to leave the city with his family, but he quickly gave up.
Let’s not talk about whether aliens have the idea of occupying this planet and occupying this world. Just talk about his family. It is difficult for him to find any reason to convince the other party. Even if he can really convince his family, Klein and the others do not have the money. There is no money left to live in another city!
'It seems that Tarot meetings will still be held regularly. Miss Justice obviously lives in Backlund. If there is any change in the spaceship, I can detect it immediately. Moreover, Miss Justice was not very worried when she said this. The result of the exchange between the mission from the Uncertain Kingdom and the aliens is good...' Various thoughts popped up in Klein's mind.
Finally, he lightly clasped his fingers on the long bronze table. After Justice and the Hanged Man gathered their attention, he said: "I am very interested in this matter, but there is no need to take the initiative to inquire about something that may put you in trouble." Dangerous information.
In addition, today’s party ends here! "
"As you will." Miss Justice imitated the etiquette of the Hanged Man.
When she came to her senses, she had returned to the real world. She looked at the broken bronze mirror in front of her and sighed, it turned out that her father really did not lie to her.
This mirror is probably really the treasure of the Black Emperor of the ancient Solomon Empire. Is its function to establish contact with the Fool?
At the party just now, I forgot to ask Mr. Fool if he knew the Black Emperor of the Solomon Empire. It was really a pity.
Afterwards, Audrey's attention turned to what the Fool had told her before she left. He was very interested in the spaceship that had just appeared in Backlund. It seemed that she was going to find a way to find out more information about this.
