The capital of Mandu, Backlund.
It is the capital of the Loen Kingdom, with a population of over five million, and is also one of the most prosperous cities on the continent.
The broad Tasok River flows into the city from the northwest, flows out from the southeast, and finally joins the ocean.
While the Tasok River divides Backlund into two halves, it also brings convenient water transportation to it. Therefore, the city's dock area is very busy, and the adjacent East District is lined with factories.
There were few clouds in the night sky, and a large area of crimson moonlight shone down, reflecting the scene of the river bank on the calm water of the Tasok River;
A gust of wind blew by, and the surface of the river rippled in the breeze, causing the reflected mirror image to break into colorful streams of light.
This is the section of the river near the dock area in the East District.
Rows of residential houses start from the river embankment and extend layer by layer deep into the eastern district. They are high and low, old and new, but they present a different kind of harmony under the influence of time.
It was already past half of the night.
Almost everyone was immersed in a deep sleep, and the few insomniacs just lay in bed tossing and turning.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
On the second floor of a small building, standing in front of the window facing the river, was a young man.
He was wearing loose pajamas, his black hair was slightly messy, and his dark brown eyes looked out the window with deep confusion.
He was thinking about a question - "Who am I?"
Before tonight, this question was a very easy one to answer for him.
His name is Varina Attano. He is 20 years old and is a warehouse manager in Silen Textile Factory. His past life experience is quite simple.
The drastic change may have occurred in his sleep tonight, or it may have been foreshadowed, but it just happened to break out tonight - he didn't know this clearly.
In short, when he suddenly woke up, he found that he had experienced another period of life in his dream and had a bizarre memory.
In another memory, his name was Yu Yue, and he lived in a completely different world than now.
Bizarre world, bizarre experiences, bizarre memories...
This experience was so real that he couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, and whether he was Varina or Yu Yue.
He almost thought that he was crazy and that everything related to Yu Yue was just a crazy fantasy, until he recalled the contents of a novel "The Lord of Mysteries".
"Ruen", "Backlund", "Goddess of the Night"...
Isn't this the world he lives in? !
etc.
“Extraordinary Ones”, “God’s Way”, “True History”…
Is this really his world? !
Two memories, two experiences, and two personalities brought an unparalleled sense of contradiction and division to this young man, which almost drove him crazy.
He could only stand quietly in front of the window, turning a blind eye to the night scene outside, and tried his best to eliminate the rift in his heart and integrate the two.
As the incomplete red moon in the sky gradually falls to the west, the young people's attempts gradually begin.
He tried to deny Yu Yue's memory through counter-evidence.
First assume that Yu Yue's memory is true, and then try to substitute it into the reality that Varina knows, to explain everything, and see if it can justify itself.
If not, then it is undoubtedly just a fantasy!
As the comparison progressed, the young man was surprised to find that he could not find the loopholes at all, because most of them involved extraordinary powers that he could not verify for the time being.
But there were some things that, although still unverifiable, he was very inclined to believe.
The first to bear the brunt was Emperor Russell.
As we all know, Emperor Russell has a unique experience and great achievements. He has made achievements in various fields. He is an outstanding inventor, thinker, artist, and politician. There are countless titles and titles attached to him...
But if Yu Yue's memory is true, then Russell is just a time traveler, and his achievements all come from plagiarizing another experience.
Compared with "copycat" and "all-around genius", it is obviously easier for people to accept the term "plagiarist" - especially after a similar situation happened to me.
In addition to the parts that cannot be verified for the time being, the young man also sorted out many parts that he can verify soon. After all, the content of the novel in Yu Yue's memory not only involves the past, but also the future.
In this way, the young man in front of the window was immersed in the dispute between the two personalities in his inner world, completely forgetting the passage of time.
When the sky turned white, he exhaled softly with relief. The two personalities had a tacit understanding through his efforts——
"No matter what, now I can only be Varina Attano on the surface."
After half a night of hard work, the young man effectively alleviated his inner feeling of division.
"The most important thing next is to verify the existence of extraordinary power and reach inner reconciliation."
Varina, who had been standing in front of the window for half the night, stretched his body and walked stiffly into the public washroom next door with a helpless smile on his face, "And the first thing to do is - work."
Yes, work.
Varina's parents died a long time ago, and he grew up living with his uncle. When he completed secondary education from a technical school, his uncle asked him to become independent and introduced him to his current job.
Warehouse manager, this job is already a good starting point for a young man who has only completed secondary education, and he cannot give up easily. At least, he was unwilling to give up until he had verified and mastered his extraordinary power.
It was still early and he still had time to complete his first attempt before going to work.
After washing, Varina returned to the room and took out four loaves of rye bread from the cupboard, intending to try a ritual in his memory.
That's right, it's the "Transfer Ceremony" of Mr. Fool, Zhou Mingrui and Klein Moretti in the original work.
The current time is the end of September 1348. Although he does not remember the specific time of Mr. Fool's arrival (the specific time is 1349.06.28), Varina is certain that the other party has not yet arrived - if he will indeed arrive.
His basis was the Corn Act.
He remembered clearly that the time of Crane's arrival was very close to the repeal of the Corn Act, which had not yet been repealed.
Of course, calls for repeal have grown louder, and Varina even participated in a small march related to it.
This shows that Klein's arrival is probably not far away - if he really will arrive.
Although Varina knew that he probably had nothing to do with the gray fog pointed to by the ritual, and the probability of the ritual's success was extremely low, he had to try to be sure.
The small room is filled with necessary living facilities such as beds, tables, chairs, wardrobes, cupboards, and coal stoves. They occupy most of the space in the room.
This is Varina's only private space in the world.
He placed the four loaves of bread near the bed, table, chair, cupboard and coal stove - which were almost the four corners of the room. Then he came to the center of the room and started the "transfer ceremony".
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord."
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun."
"The God of Blessing and Prosperity Xuanhuang."
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."
