Just like the other hawkers near the pier, even though this man boasted a lot.
However, not many people believed or bought it. The surrounding onlookers simply ignored him and walked past the man without any hesitation.
Of course, this is really a normal development.
On this waterway to the Southern Continent, which was mainly initiated, explored, and opened up by Russell, it is inevitable that such special industries will be born. Every year, a large number of undisclosed "Russell inventions" will appear inexplicably. , the unknown "Roselle relics" often number in the tens of thousands, like dog urine after the rain, they will always appear in unnoticed places...
One can't help but wonder whether Emperor Russell ordered his fleet to open up a new channel...
Or did he order his fleet to take out the garbage?
——Otherwise, how can we explain this situation?
Probably only some tourists from other places will selectively purchase some of these special products.
And they are not unaware of the situation. Of course, they don't expect to be able to find out. They hope that they will be lucky enough to buy Russell's undisclosed inventions, manuscripts containing secrets, etc... Most people I guess they just came here with the intention of buying some souvenirs and experiencing the local customs.
Bernadette naturally knew about this kind of thing, she had long been used to it.
The reason why she felt a little displeased was because other people were using tiger skin as a banner, bragging about Emperor Russell, expressing admiration and admiration for him. Although the main purpose is to infinitely improve the image of Emperor Russell, in order to increase the persuasiveness of his false propaganda and the attractiveness of the fakes he sells——
But at least the appearance is impeccable, and this person is even better...
Although Bernadette couldn't get the point of "increasing wisdom", she was undoubtedly aware of the other party's subtle malice towards Emperor Russell.
"..."
"..."
There was a moment of silence, but she frowned but didn't say or do anything.
Although she felt a little unhappy about this, the famous Mysterious Queen would not be serious about it with an ordinary person... After all, she actually knew very well about her father's reputation. In fact, Emperor Russell himself is a controversial figure, with mixed reputations and reputations, which can be said at best. There are many people who admire him, and there are also countless people who hate him.
Leading the industrial revolution and creating the era of steam and machinery.
——What follows is the proliferation of oppression, exploitation, poverty, and pollution...
As for exploring the waterways of the southern continent and opening up the colonial era.
——For the colonized party, what does this historical event worth remembering mean...
It is now 1349, only 151 years have passed since 1198, the year Russell passed away. And the colonial era he started with his own hands has not ended yet. Just nine years ago, the Loen Kingdom and the Fusac Empire clashed over colonial interests on the east coast of Balam. Loen was involved in the war. Defeated and was under great pressure.
This is not history that can be brushed off lightly. People living in the present can still feel the tense situation and smell the lingering smell of bloodshed...
So, that's basically it. After all, Russell is not a gold pound, and it is impossible for everyone to like him.
Even Bernadette, his daughter, can't accept some of the things he has done. How can we expect others to have no grudges and accept them all?
This is naturally very unrealistic.
Although it was a temporary idea to come to this port city to have a look, Bernadette suddenly lost interest after encountering such a situation. She had just set foot on the pier and turned around to leave, going back to " Get on board the Dawn.
——"Come, come, let's take a look at this, the diary of Emperor Russell..."
——"Yes, Emperor Russell left a diary, but you don't know it..."
——"No, no, no, this is not a cipher text. I have completely deciphered the emperor's secret!"
Lang Yue's voice came from the crowd behind him. It still sounded very boastful, and the topic he talked about suddenly became very sensitive, or very targeted.
If this is not enough to move the Queen of Mystery.
Then next——
"This is not a mysterious symbol used for encryption, but a strange character that none of you know or understand... Let me give you an example, just like these two characters, they read "hometown"..."
The Chinese pronunciation of the word is correct and round.
"...!!"
Bernadette's steps suddenly stopped. She felt as if she had been struck by thunder, and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
It took a rare breath for the mysterious queen to finally realize what she had heard. She barely had time to think seriously before her body started to act faster than the instructions from her brain. When she realized it, she found that she had turned around and walked through the crowd without anyone noticing.
She grabbed the young man's wrist, like a drowning person who had lost hope, grabbing the last straw and refusing to let go. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the other person's expression, and her tone could not suppress her excitement: "You How do you know this word! Where did you hear it! When! Who told you! Why should I tell you!"
A series of questions burst out like a barrage of questions.
The man glanced at her, puffed up his chest proudly, and said matter-of-factly: "Who told me that? Didn't I say it? I deciphered it myself..."
"Did you decipher it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
In desperation, the Queen of Mystery subconsciously raised her voice several decibels, and her tone unconsciously carried a bit of majesty. It was obvious that she could not believe such a ridiculous statement, and she was so excited that she wanted to know the answer right away, so A little bit out of sorts. But considering that this is her obsession that has been pursued for hundreds of years, it is understandable.
At this moment, Bernadette was so excited that her body was trembling slightly, her heart was beating fast, and she almost wondered if she had heard wrong just now.
Are you hallucinating? Is it a dream interfered with by the 0-05 wishing lamp? After all, the "djinn" will indeed lure the owner through dreams and hallucinations to rub the lamp and make wishes. This is something she has personally experienced.
No wonder she has such wild thoughts, has been searching for the dawn of hope for many years to no avail, and the hope that seems to be unavailable no matter what, suddenly appears in front of her when she is completely unprepared?
This is somewhat unreal.
"..."
"..."
"Ahem, okay, actually I can't be considered the one who deciphered it..."
Probably because of Bernadette's direct denial and the intense stare with those oppressive eyes, the man changed his words with some guilt.
He coughed a few times unnaturally, and instead of looking at her, he looked elsewhere and changed the subject: "After all, there is really no need to decipher it. I only need to take a look at those diaries and I will naturally know that they are What does it mean? There is no need to waste time trying to decipher it..."
Bernadette: "???"
Faced with such a sudden turn of events without warning, the Queen of Mystery couldn't think straight for a while, and her blue eyes widened even further.
After coming back to her senses, her first reaction was to almost laugh in anger.
"You said you would know what it meant just by taking one look at it?"
"That's not..."
The young man's face was not red and he was out of breath. As he spoke, he reached out and patted his chest, with an expression worthy of me.
Not to mention that he already knows Chinese very well. Even if he doesn't know it at all, with the help of the system's passive translation function, he can still read and understand the unfamiliar text he sees for the first time without any obstacles. If you have any questions... From this point of view, he is not lying at all. No matter how you interpret this sentence, it is the real truth.
"Then tell me, that word you just said...what does it mean?"
Bernadette took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down as much as possible. She quickly isolated herself from information interaction with the surrounding environment, making the area she was in feel like an independent space.
At the same time, his eyes were staring closely at the person opposite him, and his eyes became extremely dark in a flash.
Even though the hidden "Eye of Secrets" has already been observing the target, spying on the state of its astral body, etheric body and mental body, examining various details of the astral body, and getting all normal feedback, But at this moment, she still carefully chose to use higher-level sequence capabilities to further ensure that there would be no problems.
There really is no problem.
No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary person.
But the other party actually knew the diary left by his father and also knew the pronunciation of the word "hometown". This is absolutely abnormal!
"Oh, you said "hometown", this word is very simple..."
The man seemed completely unaware that he was being watched, and just explained seriously, "It means the hometown where you were born, and where your soul belongs."
Bernadette's heart suddenly jumped. When she heard those two weird pronunciations again, she confirmed that she had not heard them wrong just now. When she heard the explanation given by the other party, she was even more stunned.
Hometown of birth...
The belonging of the soul...
Is that what it means? Could it be that the sadness and melancholy that my father occasionally showed later on could be due to this? Is he homesick?
But...but...this doesn't make sense at all! My father was born as an Intis. His hometown has always been there. He can return to the Gustav family’s territory at any time. He even got the entire country later. What kind of nostalgia is there? ! ——Too many doubts came to mind at once, and Bernadette felt that this was the only one she couldn't understand at all.
She thought for a moment, then subconsciously stared at the other side with suspicious eyes, suspecting that it was the translator's problem.
I have to say that this is very realistic and normal.
——If some mysterious master above the gray fog, the powerful Mr. Fool, gives a similar explanation, then even if she has doubts, she will only think that there is something in it that she still doesn’t understand. …
——However, when she preconceptionally thinks that the person opposite is an ordinary person, it is naturally a different situation...
The only possibility is that the other party's explanation was wrong and the real meaning was not stated at all, right? Maybe it's because he doesn't know what that word really means? But being able to know the pronunciation of those two words is already a great progress. As long as you figure out where this person heard it from, you may be able to grab the next clue...
Many thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind in an instant, and her eyes became a little complicated. She had realized one thing, that is, this was definitely not a coincidence.
It happens to be myself...
He happens to be his father...
It happens to be the clue that I have been pursuing...
This person appeared here, carrying key information, and he discovered it just right. Even if she acted like an ordinary person, she didn't think there was no plan for her. It was probably a pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes... However, she admitted that she was indeed about to bite the hook and couldn't resist the opponent throwing it. out of the bait.
Because this is very likely to be the only chance for him to unlock the secret and know the ominous truth about his father's later years.
No matter what, Bernadette would never allow this opportunity to slip away before her eyes.
"If...I mean if, I want to get other...diary information, what do I have to pay?" After considering such probing words, the Mysterious Queen narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she was determined to take risks, she did not relax her due vigilance and vigilance.
"It depends on which part you want..." The young man smiled shyly, stretched out a finger to scratch his cheek, and said.
"I want them all!"
Bernadette said coldly, interrupting his words.
"Wow, this is really ambitious..." The young man showed a surprised expression in approval. He raised his hands and applauded, tut-tutting, "But the price may be a bit expensive, you may not be able to afford it. rise……"
"You didn't even tell me, how do you know I can't afford it?"
Bernadette frowned slightly. She looked at the other party's clapping movements, and for some reason she suddenly felt a sense of disobedience, as if something was not quite right.
etc! Shouldn't normal people only have two hands?
A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in her mind, and her pupils shrank obviously. She grabbed one of this man's hands. Why could he clap with both hands so naturally? !
Looking down subconsciously, she found that what she was holding tightly in her hand was a smooth stone, or a stone seal.
A mysterious symbol is poured into the stone. This unknown sigil seems to contain some extraordinary mystery that is completely incomprehensible to mortals. Bernadette felt familiar, and after thinking for a moment, she remembered that this seemed to be a symbol used by a secret organization that appeared in Intis when her father was a consul, but... hadn't it been wiped out?
"Then leave your contact information. If you are really determined..." A chuckle came from the other side, but he did not continue speaking meaningfully.
"...!!" The Mysterious Queen suddenly raised her eyes and found that just for a moment, there was nothing in front of her. The person just now had disappeared, and seemed to have never existed at all... Recalling the way people ignored him from the beginning, she suddenly realized that it was not that the crowd was completely uninterested and indifferent. They were fooled, but they really couldn’t see it!
From beginning to end, she was talking to the air alone, but she was never aware of this fact.
Until this moment!
Bernadette's expression changed slightly. She stood blankly in the crowd, looking around.
Didn't it mean that the Third Secret Society back then was just a farce-like joke? He emerged at the juncture of his father's coup and promoted cult-like ideas. At first, he was threatened by churches and state agencies, thinking that he was some evil organization trying to take advantage of the situation. , was completely wiped out before even bubbles could pop up.
She didn't even have to worry about her father. Even her brother Charles was in charge of handling this matter at the time, and she had heard about it.
But now, the Third Secret Society has appeared again?
And he directly dispatched such an...indescribable existence?
Even with Bernadette's Sequence 3 Saint level, she didn't find anything wrong at all. It is absolutely impossible to say that the other party is an ordinary person, but to say that the other party is a secret existence far higher than Sequence 3, not just Sequence 2, but Sequence 1 or even more terrifying, then...why did I just say "straight" like that? Look at Him and not fall into madness?
What kind of monster is that?
…………
…………
"That's a ghost! A realistic ghost! Floating over the Kingdom of Intis!!"
There was silence in the bronze palace above the gray fog. The ancient and mottled bronze long table was surrounded by gray fog. Looking at the first line of words in the diary, Klein couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This dangerous sentence structure... It seems that fellow Russell was very excited when he wrote this sentence.
