When Lin An arrived at the press conference, there was a large hole in the floor of the podium where Edward was standing. Looking down, the damage extended all the way to the third floor of the building.

Edward fell straight down more than ten floors and got firmly stuck on the wall that had some jerry-rigged materials.

He was struggling when he heard footsteps, his eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his head. When he saw Lin An, who was smiling but not smiling, his eyes instantly darkened, as if something died in his heart.

Lin An used the Philosopher's Stone to move the bricks and boards away, while Edward remained silent the whole time.

After a while, he held his head and explained hesitantly.

"Well, ranger, it's like this. My feet somehow integrated with the floor. I took a step forward, and the floor began to loosen. After struggling a few more times, I heard a roar..."

"That's because you need to be placed on a high platform." Lin An paused and changed to a more unpredictable term, "Under your feet is an 'altar' cast by a philosophical poet."

"Altar?" Edward curled his lips. Even though he was rescued from the crack in the wall, his feet were still firmly fixed on a piece of concrete the size of a stepping chair, making it almost impossible to move from the knees down. "Am I going to leave from now on?" No way?"

"How can 'Comes' be such an inconvenience? The cause of your mutation is that the level of pollution is too high." Lin An stretched out his finger, "Why don't you take a look at Yggdrasil's personal homepage."

Edward was stunned, opened the panel, and found that his business card had been updated.

[Name]: Edward David Roberts

[Mysterious Archetype]: The Book of Yuli Sheng

"Urizen..." Edward was stunned, "You mean William Blake's "The Book of Urizen"? And what I'm standing on...is Urizen's stone platform?"

"Yes, although I think your work is more like his print "Europa Supported by the New World"." Lin An said, "We are both from the Lion Country, so I believe you are familiar with his works."

William Blake, poet, sculptor, artist, and Neoplatonist, Paracelsian, and astrologer.

He studied hypnotism, exorcism, and electromagnetism, and even suggested that electrotherapy could cure rheumatism.

Although born in the Age of Enlightenment, Blake relied heavily on mysticism, believing it to be more important than reason and Newtonian certainties, and his work reflected an understanding of alchemy, magic, and mysticism.

He usually writes poems first, then creates prints and illustrations for the poems, and uses paintings to depict his fantasy world.

The mysterious prototype of Edward comes from one of Blake's prophetic books - "The Book of Urology".

From the content and form point of view, this is an imitation of the Book of Genesis; from the perspective of "Comes", this is a reinterpretation of the laws of that distant planet by human beings using their own fantasy and reason.

In the Book of Ursions, Urison, the "original priest" is the embodiment of reason and law, the first entity in the universe. He believes himself to be divine and establishes it in a brass book. Various laws force mankind to unify.

After these theories were instilled into human beings, they differentiated due to different personalities, ideas and backgrounds. Some people agreed and some did not agree, which made Urison feel even more angry and became more authoritarian, extreme and exclusive.

Thus was conceived Los, the divine side of imagination, a guide to empathy, freedom, and revolution.

After the creator Urison fell, Los tied him to his back and suppressed him evenly like a wrestling match. The two continued to fight for control of the world.

The two images represent binary opposites, Urison being the destructive and ancient essence, Los being the young and creative essence.

Their fight is endless, but fortunately, the laws of the world are gradually restored to balance.

However, this balance is very fragile. Once Los can't grasp the boundary between "goodness" and "idealism", Urison will gain the upper hand; once Urison takes back the shackles of reason, Los will lead mankind towards chaos without restraint and rationality. .

Edward is half and half of Ross and half of Urison.

Half of his body is as hard as stone, and there are steel-like snow-white solid feathers. From time to time, a scary little angel like "The Scream" flashes.

The other half of the body is very vivid, with wings as well, and the feathers beat like flames. The top is orange and the end is fiery red. The color is overflowing and it is very gorgeous.

Various strange phenomena, coupled with his feet being fixed on the stone platform, all indicate that within a few dozen minutes of awakening to the mystery of Edward, the level of pollution reached a rather scary level.

Lin An spread his hands, and the panel of "Book of Life" appeared.

Before entering Ivory Coast, he put an adapted entry for "The Mishnah" in Edward's editor column. When the latter awakened, he also received a prompt from the system.

"After your testimony, the illustration of [Book of Yuli Sheng] has been unlocked."

"The entry "Human Existence Itself II: The Book of Yuli Sheng" has been included. You have obtained the medium 'Judge' x4, 'God of Farming' x2, 'Prophet' x1, and 'Mother of Desire' x1."

"By sharing the knowledge of 'Comes' with others, the pollution level of [Mysterious Encyclopedia] has been reduced by 1%."

[Name]: The Book of Yuli Sheng

[Rating]: Myth E level

[Radiation value]: 0.3%

[Pollution level]: 45.2%

[Media]: Chief Judge

Great, Myth level can reduce pollution by 1%.

At the same time, [The Book of Yuli Sheng] provides two types of entries.

[Gold, Silver, Iron and Brass], choose one of the four aspects of science, love, war, and sociology, and publish a rule with a radius of twenty kilometers. To take effect, more than half of the people must agree to the rule. rule.

Unlike the source-level entry [The Kingdom of Gods and Humans], it cannot change an individual's mind. Those who disagree with the rules will be given five minutes to consider after the entry takes effect.

If they still don't agree, the energy of the "Judge" will turn into threads and cut their throats.

What an atrocious entry.

Lin An glanced at Edward, who was harmless to humans and animals. It was hard to imagine that this guy had such dark and extreme thoughts.

The second is [Day Chariot], which is similar in scope to the former. It summons a chariot to break people's chain of rationality, breaking their superstition, awe and fear, allowing them to look at problems from a new perspective.

This is like a reporter's style, presenting the facts and then allowing others to discuss them.

In Lin An's view, these two items were the icing on the cake; but to Edward, they were forbidden spells that could not be used easily.

“Mythical E-level—E-level!!!”

Edward smiled bitterly. He had studied the "Comes" introduction for nearly half a year and knew the meaning of these data.

"In ten minutes, I reduced the pollution level to 40%..."

"Looking on the bright side, you are actually at the myth level, far beyond my expectations." Lin An comforted, "To be honest, you talk about "Harry Potter" every day, and I have prepared you to change. Preparing for a character in a book.”

"Can children's books also serve as mysterious prototypes?" Edward said in surprise.

"Of course, they are attracted to children or teenagers, and sightings of many magical fairy tale prototypes such as Dorothy, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio have been recorded."

This information comes from the World Tree Forum. In 2039, child mystics are no longer rare.

"As long as it matches the twelve moons... and part of the image of the myth four thousand years ago, the mystery can be materialized under the influence of the medium. When the two star orbits get closer and closer, due to radiation, I am afraid that even newborns will It’s inevitable to become a mystic.”

Lin An's description aroused children's imagination. Edward wanted to make a few jokes, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his interest was a little low.

The power of "Comes" is obvious to all. Even a mature adult like him had his pollution level break through half due to mood swings in less than half an hour after waking up.

How can a fragile, instinct-only baby control its thoughts?

"Alien energy from advanced civilizations is not suitable for Titan's development trajectory after all." Lin An patted Edward on the shoulder, "Let's not talk about the future. Let's solve the immediate trouble first. Edward, I have something to ask you. "

"Please feel free to ask." The reporter regained his energy.

After hearing the simple ins and outs, he was keenly aware of the problem.

"You mean, Red Poppy's Chamber of Commerce President is not dead? Well, when he returns to the Kingdom of Flanders, I'm afraid he will look for opportunities to retaliate against us... His arrogance does not allow him to swallow this failure."

"Then let him come over." Lin An said nonchalantly, "After this battle, [Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce] is no longer the opponent of [World Tree]."

Although in the plan, Lin An originally wanted to clear his memory by killing Jacob to prevent him from reporting his information to the [Black City], especially Adelia Hughes.

Strangely, there was no prompt from the system after killing Jacob. Either it had done something wrong again, or Lin An had killed someone other than the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Crafty guy.

Despite the accident, Lin An was not worried that Jacob would go into too much detail.

During the battle he did tear up the Latin version of Picatrix, which records the oldest and most detailed text of Arabic astrology.

Jacob was undoubtedly hit hard by losing it.

In the time fragment, Lin An accidentally broke into the "video conference" of the new Seven Sins Demon Lord. The seven people seemed not to be working together, and there was an undercurrent between them.

Perhaps the reason for Tshisekedi's expulsion was not just that he failed to protect the office of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce in Kinshasa, but also that he lost the opportunity to gather the four fingers of the God of Creation.

In other words, there is always a piece missing from his mystery.

The [Seven Sins Demon Lord] does not accept the disabled.

Therefore, Jacob could not tell others the complete Battle of Ivory Coast. He did not want to expose the fact that he had lost the Latin "Picatrix". He could only slowly guide others to turn their attention to the World Tree.

At least in the short term, Lin An does not need to worry about [Black City] targeting him.

However, as time goes by, no matter what Jacob chooses, the two organizations will eventually have a battle.

Lin An clicked his tongue and continued.

"The number one enemy has been dealt with, but we still need manpower on the Ivory Coast side. You have to help, Edward."

After hearing about the mess after the war, the reporter's scalp went numb.

"I'm not good at this either! Mr. Forester, how did you do it before?"

"Someone will take care of it for me."

Lin An thought of the professionalism of the St. Annilov Foundation and missed it infinitely.

Looking at Edward who was at a loss, he said deliberately.

"Why, Edward Roberts, who claims to be willing to burn all his services to serve me, can't calm public opinion, contain enemies, resettle people, sort out intelligence, and recover loot all by himself?"

"Hallelujah, you can't even break me into pieces." Edward broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't be nervous, just kidding." Lin An smiled, "You are responsible for writing the press release, I have booked a new helper."

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but ask again: "Mr. Forester, your helper?"

"First of all, it's the beautiful lady who hired us, the Dorgon Gielgud family of Boyska." Lin An said, "Secondly, how could Lakonao, which has a long history, many chieftains and a prosperous population, not have A family of mystics?" (End of this chapter)
