Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Russell took a deep breath and exhaled it for a long time. After gathering his emotions, he spoke again:

"That's Bernadette's thing, I have no right to decide."

"I left Bernadette such a small amount of property, and you actually care about it. Isn't it a bit too much?"

"It's a trade. You need a new sealed object, or some help when necessary. And I can restore that mask after taking out the 'Death Archon' feature."

Renekton shook his head and emphasized that what he proposed was a deal.

Russell no longer dwelled on this issue and said casually: "You should discuss it with Bernadette. Of course, the things that have been given to her are at her disposal."

"Okay." Renekton nodded slightly and ended the topic.

He looked around, scanning the mechanical devices one by one. He raised his right hand wearing a mechanical glove into the air and pressed it down a few times. Invisible ripples spread out, and everything around him spontaneously The ground floated.

The restraints and seals that were originally left around these items failed one after another, and the golden sunlight instantly covered the surroundings, turning the surroundings into a golden glow, completely flooding the field of vision.

The blazing sunlight lasted for less than a second and then quickly converged. The surrounding physical rules changed to a certain extent and were no longer adapted to the diffusion and spread of light.

"In a sense, I am also one of the best craftsmen in the world."

Sighing to himself, Renekton cast a colorless shimmer on the surrounding objects floating in the air, decomposing them bit by bit, and then reorganized them.

A layer of misty light composed of countless illusory things quickly filled the surroundings, wandering in mid-air, outlining three-dimensional, difficult-to-see and indescribable mysterious symbols, as if they were constantly intertwined and layered one after another. The spider web restrains and hides the pale golden sunlight, flowing around according to a fixed trajectory.

The mechanical devices floating in the air fell one after another, the indicator lights turned on, and they made a humming sound of mechanical operation.

Looking at the machines running around him, Russell clapped his hands fiercely and sighed:

"It's smart. Lay the energy transmission lines in the void. Except for some high-sequence and special path Beyonders, others won't notice this change at all. You don't have to worry about being dug for pipes and stealing materials."

"But how to solve the pollution problem? Although the pollution in the air is very thin, it can be fatal if accumulated over a long period of time."

"Furthermore, this is a bit too tempting for the Extraordinaries of the 'Stealer' path. It is simply a gift from nature. Just grab it in the air and you can get a raw material for the solar domain spell. You don't have to pray for it." ”

"From now on, you will write a sentence on the city's slogan: Amon and dogs are prohibited."

"Why a dog?" Grant looked at Russell in surprise.

"Well, these are some very deep philosophical factors that don't need to be studied in depth." Russell said something casually and seriously, then looked at Renekton and asked:

"Do you have a solution to the pollution problem?"

Renekton slowly shook his head and said, "No."

After a pause, he continued: "Wait for a while, and when I have completely accommodated the characteristics in my body, I will try to use pollution to fight pollution."

"You're a little crazy. Are you really sure you can solve the pollution left in that characteristic?"

Russell frowned and looked at Renekton. He was not a psychiatrist, but he could feel Renekton's mental confusion, with a feeling of heaviness, depression and madness.

Shaking his head and sighing, he suddenly changed the topic:

"Do you know the 'Ghost Empire'? It is one of the most famous treasures on the Five Seas. It is said that it contains most of the inheritance of the Trunsoest family. Although the ship disappeared, there are still legends that it haunts Sunya Sea, are you interested in exploring it?”

"Your topic change was a bit abrupt."

Renekton stated calmly, and then stopped talking, waiting for Russell's subsequent words.

"There are some speculations. If there is no accident, there will be no accident."

After a brief silence, Renekton couldn't help but complain: "You still know nonsense literature."

Russell raised his neck with some pride and said, "I used to be a surfer, okay? Okay, don't interrupt me."

With a slight cough, Russell organized his words and then said:

"Didn't that 'Fool' have the Black Emperor card? Find a descendant of the Trunsoest family, or some items left over from the Trunsoest empire, and use mystical connections to create a lot of potential. There is a high probability of encountering that ghost ship.”

"With a 'knowledge emperor' who has keen insight and prophetic ability, coupled with my special personality as the 'black emperor', this plan has a high probability of success."

"Although you are not in a good state now, you still have the ability to give substantial power to abstract knowledge. I have personality and you have power. When combined, wouldn't we become a true 'Black Emperor'? "

"How about it? Are you interested in collaborating?"

After thinking briefly, Renekton nodded slowly and said:

"You can try, but the descendants of Trunsoest are not easy to find."

Russell seemed to have thought about it a long time ago and responded quickly:

"It doesn't matter. If you can't find the descendants, you can use some items from them instead. You can make up for it by twisting some rules and concepts, although the effect will be a little worse."

"It would be nice if there was a Judgment card, but unfortunately I don't know where that card has ended up."

"The Vampires cooperated deeply with the Trunsoest Empire in the Fourth Age. There should be a lot of things they have preserved. Aren't you familiar with the 'Full Moon' Duke? Go and have a look at him."

Renekton nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

After a brief exchange, he returned to the bedroom of the manor, got in touch with Klein through the aura of the gray mist, and told him about Russell's idea of ​​exploring the "Ghost Empire".

Above the gray fog, Klein sat on the high-backed chair belonging to The Fool, lost in thought.

"Ghost Empire", the most famous treasure on the Five Seas, is hard not to be tempted by.

It is said that it was a ghost ship as big as a city. After the collapse of the Trunsoest Empire, the nobles transferred all their treasures and wealth to it, preparing to escape the northern continent. In the end, something strange happened, and the scheduled passengers and None of the crew survived and reached port.

Klein recalled all the information he knew about the 'Ghost Empire'. Then he materialized a pen and paper and used the gray fog to do a simple divination.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again, left the back of the chair, and sighed softly:

"It failed as expected. If this ghost ship could be found through divination, it would not have become a legendary treasure."

Taking a long breath, he turned the information he had just discussed with Renekton into a flash of light and shadow, and fell into the crimson star that represented the "moon".

"Emlyn should be carrying out the mission given by the vampires now. I don't know if he has time to find items from the Trunsoest Empire period. Moreover, they need to be items belonging to members of the royal family at that time."

"Intis has declared war on the independent regime in the Pas Valley of the Southern Continent. They still have the heart to find treasures. Is this too confident? Or is it because they have not considered the Intis military and the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' at all?" Do the two major churches of the God of Steam and Machinery take notice?”

Klein sighed in a low voice, and after a while, he heard Emlyn's reply:

"Dear Mr. Fool, please help me tell the World and the White Tower that I will purchase a batch of items from the Transost Empire among the vampires, but there is a high probability that they will only be ordinary items, and I cannot guarantee that the items purchased belonged to members of the royal family at that time.”

Klein leaned back on the chair and nodded lightly. After such a long time, unless it is a magical item full of characteristics, the spirituality inside will have been lost long ago. The cost of items full of characteristics is too high, it is better to buy more ordinary items. Antiques, maybe if you are lucky, there will be personal belongings belonging to a member of the royal family at that time.

Thinking of luck, Klein suddenly thought of a certain baby who had some power over his destiny.

Then he materialized the fake "world" and pretended to pray to himself:

"Dear Mr. Fool, please help me tell Mr. Moon not to act in a hurry. I will find a way for him to temporarily increase his luck and increase his chance of success."

After saying that, Klein directly turned the image into a streak of light and shadow, and threw it into the crimson star representing "Moon" Emlyn.

After doing all this, he quickly left the gray fog.

On the north bank of the Pas River Valley, in the bedroom on the second floor of a suburban manor, Bugs Bunny held a bunch of red or green fruits and put them down next to Renekton, then skillfully jumped onto Renekton's lap, lay down leisurely, and looked at the window. The crimson moon outside.

Renekton put a hand on Bugs Bunny's ear, pinched it twice, and asked in a low voice:

"Aren't you afraid of how I look?"

Bugs Bunny shook his head, put his hands on his hips, and said with an awesome look:

"As a 'biologist', I can see the inner reality of living things through the surface. Everyone is just a pile of moving flesh and blood, but they appear different because they are contaminated with different desires."

Renekton paused for a moment, his eyes became deep, he looked down at Bugs Bunny lying on his feet, frowned and asked:

"Where did you get the theory?"

"Many of the village witch doctors here believe in this theory. I think it makes sense."

Bugs Bunny replied casually without noticing.

This place really needs some spiritual purification to bury those inappropriate ideas. As his thoughts floated, Renekton continued to pinch Bugs Bunny's ears and warned in a low voice:

"Don't ask those village witch doctors in the future. They are all potential believers of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
