Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

After the farewell meeting with the captain, Renekton walked out of the building disguised as a newspaper office and writers association, only to realize that the sky outside had darkened, so he went straight home. When Renekton returned, the butler and two servants had already purchased supplies and returned.

Mr. Butler is directing two servants in the hall to classify various items and store them away. Mr. Butler is a thin old man in his fifties, with graying hair and many wrinkles on his face.

In Renekton's memory, the butler was a native of Madan named Sean Porter. However, his family had died long ago and he only had one son. However, the relationship between him and the butler was not good.

Although he is old, Mr. Butler has always been in good spirits. It is said that Mr. Butler was an adventurer when he was young, but his adventure failed miserably at the beginning, and his leg was injured, and he delayed the final treatment. It was such a good time that after the injury healed, he could only limp, and Mr. Butler's dream of adventure was interrupted.

Later, due to his physical disability, Mr. Butler's life was not good. It is difficult for a physically disabled person to find a good job in this city.

Until later, Renekton's father needed someone to take care of the young Renekton because he and his wife were away from home all year round. Mr. Butler, who knew his father and had a good reputation before he was injured, became the first person. select.

So Renekton's father hired Mr. Sean to be the housekeeper at home, mainly to take care of Renekton.

The other two servants were found by Mr. Butler and have been replaced over the years. The current two servants are a man and a woman. The man's name is Luo Pote. He is thirty years old this year. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, ordinary facial features, and a somewhat thin figure. His complexion is bronze, his hands are covered with thick calluses, and his clothes are simple. It can be seen that he used to do hard work outdoors.

The woman's name is Sally. She is thirty-five years old, slightly chubby, and always has a smile on her lips. Perhaps due to the influence of motherhood, Sally always takes good care of Renekton who is alone at home. I like to listen to Renekton talk about some of his experiences in school. When Renekton is sad, he is always the first to notice and comfort him.

Although he is also dressed plainly, he is obviously much better than Carrot, and his clothes are also very clean. He has his own family and children. He is mainly responsible for going to Renekton's house on time every day to do laundry and cooking, and earn some money to subsidize it. Home use. Sally and Robert were both natives of Madan, and had been working at the Renekton household for two or three years.

Seeing Renekton enter the room, the housekeeper walked straight over and said, "Master, while you were away from home, the newspaper office sent a telegram from sir, and it has been placed on the desk in your room."

"Well, he has something to do and won't be able to come back this month, right?" Renekton asked casually.

In Renekton's memory, this kind of thing happened more than once or twice, and Renekton had long been accustomed to it.

"Yes, it seems that they encountered pirates at Disi Bay, but fortunately, sir, they were not injured." Mr. Butler explained for Renekton's father.

Renekton frowned slightly: "The navy in Disi Bay is very powerful, so why would any pirates go there to seek death? My father encountered pirates on the way to the Rhosid Islands, right?"

"Sir's telegram didn't say this. I think it should be like this. The last telegram he sent said that he planned to go to the Rhoad Islands to expand the trading market." After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Butler thought that Renekton said It makes sense, and he answered it based on the telegram sent by Renekton's father last time.

"Well, let's wait until father comes back. There's no use worrying here. By the way, Uncle Sean, I joined the Church of Knowledge, and I will go to the church to study during the day. You tell Aunt Sally, and there is no need to prepare at noon. It’s my lunch.” Renekton replied to the butler according to his previous habit.

At the end, he added that he had joined the Church of Knowledge and would need to go to the church to study for a long time. After all, there was no need to hide this matter, and he could not hide the fact that he went to the church every day.

"Knowledge Church? Okay, Master, as a scholar? I think your mother will be very happy about this. Although Madam didn't say it explicitly, it can be seen that she still hopes that you can become a scholar like her. Do we need to telegraph this matter to sir and madam?" Mr. Steward was even more happy about Renekton joining the Church of Knowledge than Renekton himself.

"No need for now, wait until they come back, so they will realize how long they have been gone." Renekton thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, sir and madam, maybe they think that a stable life is more beneficial to you when you are young!" Mr. Butler replied and then defended Renekton's parents.

"Yes." Renekton nodded, not denying what the butler said.

"Master, today I took Sally and Carrot to purchase some supplies needed for this winter. Judging from the current weather, winter will begin in half a month." Seeing that Renekton was about to go back to his room, the housekeeper said I’ve talked about everything that needs to be reported today.

"I just went to the study and saw the glasses you dropped on the floor. They were broken." Then he took out another pair of broken glasses and handed them to Renekton.

"Well, I understand. You can take those glasses to the store in the next few days to see if they can be repaired. I quite like those glasses. Don't worry. Prepare supplies for the winter first. I'll buy another one tomorrow. Just use the pair of glasses first." Renekton remembered the pair of glasses the butler mentioned.

It was a gift from Renekton's father on his eighteenth birthday. It was a pair of exquisite handicrafts with a brass color and gold threads. Renekton liked that pair of glasses very much. Recalling the appearance of the pair of glasses in his memory, Renekton also felt that they were very good. They must have been broken when his predecessor was on the verge of losing control.

"Okay, Master, you can rest first. Sally has already gone to prepare dinner. I will let you know when dinner is ready." Mr. Butler bowed and limped away with a cane.

After returning to his room, Renekton turned on the gas wall lamp in the room, closed the door and lay down directly on the bed. With one hand, he took out the strange jewelry from the Church of Knowledge from his coat.

Renekton raised the jewelry in his hand to his eyes. This jewelry only had a thin silver chain that was not too long. It did not look like a pendant, but there was no pin or anything on the back, and it was obviously not a brooch. class items.

"The ring full of gears and the vertical eyes without eyelashes, why does it feel so steampunk and gacthulhu? I feel that you fit this world quite well." Renekton murmured as he looked at the strange jewelry on his hand. .

Renekton stared at the jewelry in his hand for a while without any clue, so he put it aside and began to try meditation. The method of meditation was originally in Renekton's memory, but Renekton wanted to change the visualization. Things, as a human being on earth, how can we not contemplate something special?

After closing his eyes, Renekton thought for a long time before deciding what to visualize. According to the meditation method in his memory, Renekton began to outline the pattern in his mind. One after another, the stars lit up and connected with each other. The picture Gradually spreading to the surroundings, Renekton wanted to try to visualize a giant dragon in the starry sky, and he had already thought of reference objects.

His head suddenly stung, and all the stars that Renekton had outlined disappeared, leaving only a few scattered light spots. Although he didn't know what was going on, Renekton also understood that he was trying. Meditation failed.

Renekton was about to give up meditation first and then think about whether he could meditate on other things, but he found that he could not quit the meditation process. It was as if his spirit and thinking suddenly had their own thoughts and wills. Renekton's consciousness was left as an onlooker.

"What's going on? Is this the so-called additional information? Or have I been unlucky enough to encounter some mysterious incident again?" Renekton had already begun to panic.

Renekton's consciousness began to reconstruct the object, which was a shape formed by the continuous flow and gathering of countless golden sand grains.

A ring made of countless gears and pipes, with golden sparks and smoke rising from it. In the middle is a huge pupilless eye. The two fit together tightly, and there are several tentacle-like eyes. The chain is shaking, and it is all made of golden sand. On the gear, on the huge pupilless eye, the golden sand is flowing in the rising smoke and sparks.

"Is this what that jewelry really looks like?" Renekton's consciousness was squirming on the side.

As the new visualization object took shape, Renekton found that his consciousness seemed to be temporarily separated, and he became a relatively independent individual in the picture that appeared during meditation.

With inner curiosity and an inexplicable attraction, Renekton controlled his consciousness and rushed towards the strange figure that appeared in his imagination.

Renekton felt his consciousness hit the huge pupilless eye in the middle of the object. In his dazed consciousness, Renekton seemed to see a huge eye, without eyelashes or flesh, like a ball. The flowing liquid emits a purple halo.

The moment Renekton saw this scene, a piece of information appeared in his mind: Sequence 2: Sage. At the same time, there were countless pieces of information rushing into Renekton's mind. Renekton was instantly blown out of his meditative state. At the last moment, Renekton seemed to see some light particles falling from the huge eyes, falling towards him.

"Hoo! Hoo!~" Renekton sat on the bed, holding the edge of the bed with one hand to steady his body, and holding his head that was about to explode with one hand.

After maintaining this posture for a while, Renekton finally sorted out the knowledge that had been poured into his mind. Most of it was useless and complicated knowledge.

For example, there are steps to extract salt from seawater, and when is the most appropriate time to add salt when cooking. Of course, there is also some useful knowledge, such as some relatively hidden history, a spell for weeding, and part of the Elvish language.

"I was fed so much knowledge at once. No wonder I felt like my head was about to explode. Fortunately, the time was short. I was stimulated to quit meditation almost as soon as I saw those huge eyes. Otherwise, my head would have exploded on the spot. , an explosion in the physical sense." Renekton sighed happily.
