After giving Zai a stand-by look, Lin An sat down next to Stingle Nach.

"Okay, Comrade, what did you bring me?"

"First of all, there is a set of ancient books that Mr. Lin gave many instructions. There are 12 books in total. They are thick and heavy." The black-haired young man pointed to a large suitcase at the door of the hotel. "I put it in there."

Lin An's eyes flashed.

The "Encyclopedia of Magic" in twelve volumes!

He hadn't seen this series of books for a long time since Adelia's ceremony was held in Ditri City.

The so-called "great-grandfather's" legacy, the necessities required to activate the "system," and his once-main path to high-rated entries...

The last time he included was the "Prophet" entry, "Encyclopedia of Magic V: Halfway to Divinity - Wanderers Ask the World."

If I remember correctly, the sixth volume of the Encyclopedia of Magic is related to King Solomon's Seventy-Two Demonic Pillars, the Hell Summoning Illustration and the Black Magic.

Resisting the urge to open the suitcase, Lin An nodded slightly.

"Stingle Nach—this name is too difficult to pronounce. Can I call you Comrade Xiaole?"

"No problem, Mr. Xiaolin." Stingle Nahe agreed immediately, "Come and try my craftsmanship, including tomato scrambled eggs, soy sauce pork liver, and cold seaweed. Mr. Lin told me that in the Dragon Kingdom, there are many friendships. It’s all deepened at the dinner table.”

"So, you are not from the Dragon Kingdom?" Lin An broke open the disposable bamboo chopsticks. Since he didn't have the help of his senior sister, he really hadn't eaten hometown food for a long time.

I put a piece of pork liver into my mouth, and the familiar salty aroma and slightly bitter burnt taste filled the air.

Lin An was startled.

This dish is by no means delicious, but it tastes very much like the cuisine he grew up eating. Whether it's his father or his aunt, every time he cooks, it's like rushing to a battlefield, and the final product is either raw or cooked. Covered with a layer of overcooked black char.

I didn’t expect that Sting Le could actually make the taste of the Lin family’s ancestral dishes.

"I am considered an orphan. A missionary abandoned me in the church, and a kind-hearted couple adopted me. One of them is from the Dragon Kingdom." Stingle Nahe noticed Lin An's slightly changed expression, "Mr. Xiao Lin "The food doesn't suit your taste?"

"No, please continue."

"I was raised by this kind-hearted couple, and they taught me a lot... Anyway, later I joined Mr. Lin's organization." Stingle smiled, "Stingle Nahe is my Chinese The real name is just encrypted in a certain language.”

Lin An couldn't think of any language that could translate this weird name into Chinese, so he simply stopped worrying and continued to ask.

"Apart from that embarrassing message, Lin Hainan left no useful instructions. The star paths of 'Comes' and Titan will completely overlap in a year and a half, once Adelia Hughes successfully holds the ceremony , the planet chakra will exist forever."

"I understand your concerns, Mr. Xiaolin." Stinger spread his hands, "Just like Ms. Adelia Hughes's ceremony, we must also act at the exact time. Until then, please wait patiently."

"At least tell me your plans."

"I will slowly guide you to the truth of everything." Sting Le used chopsticks to tear open the skin of the fried tomatoes and put them aside critically, "The time is very near."

"What day is it?"

"Do you know what day Messiah was born?"

“Good question, one that to this day is debated by theologians, historians and humanists – all they agree on is that it was never at what is called Christmas.”

"Although the public can't find the exact information, Duke Hughes knows when he created the Messiah." Stinger pointed to himself and then to the west, "We and the uncrowned queen of [Black Capital] both Know this exact date.”

“There is a month of September that is estimated based on the announcement of Gabriel’s conception in the New Testament, and a month of June that is roughly based on historical events.”

"Mr. Kobayashi, you know how unreliable social science is."

"As a mystic and an archeology student, it's hard for me to say this, Comrade Xiaole."

"Ahem, no offense intended, I am a resolute materialist." Stinger cleared his throat, "The specific date of Messiah's birth is related to the astronomical phenomena recorded by the ancients at that time.

"'Star of Bethlehem'? The star seen by the three wise men from the East in the Gospel of Matthew. It guided the wise men to see the Messiah successfully, and also misled King Herod to search for it in Bethlehem, thus saving the Son from danger. One death."

Lin An added with relish.

"It is said that the shape of the star as it streaked across the sky was similar to a white Mediterranean flower, so people named it 'Star of Bethlehem'. This flower later became a representative decoration of Christmas and is also the flower that represents Saint Joseph ”

"Its scientific name is Dieffenbachia." Sting Le glanced at Lin An's face and reluctantly changed his words, "The Star of Bethlehem is the Star of Bethlehem."

"There are indeed some views that the 'Star of Bethlehem' is an abnormal astronomical phenomenon recorded by people in ancient times." Lin An said.

Stinger nodded: "First of all, the Star of Bethlehem is not a meteor - a space rock that burns brightly in the planet's atmosphere will only flicker for a moment and disappear. It is impossible for the three Eastern doctors to spend several weeks tracking a meteor '.

"Previous theories speculated that the Star of Bethlehem was the result of a supernova explosion. Arthur Charles Clark also wrote a science fiction short story. In the future, when humans roamed in space, they saw the galaxy where the Star of Bethlehem was located, and it was destroyed. "

Lin An recalled that period of romantic cosmic literature, which was full of human fantasies about gods and the unknown.

"'O God! There are billions of stars in the universe, why did you choose this one? You destroyed the entire world with fire, just to light up the morning in Bethlehem?'"

"Unfortunately, supernovae - when a star explodes where we see it, its brightness increases dramatically over a period of weeks or months. So if the Star of Bethlehem was a supernova explosion, it cannot be recorded only in the Gospel of Matthew this phenomenon."

Stingler Nach held out a finger.

"Speaking of which, the first paper supernova record comes from the history books of the Dragon Kingdom. In the second year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a star shone in the sky non-stop for nearly eight months."

"A.D. 185." Lin An said affirmatively.

"Excluding many hypotheses, the public is already close to the truth." Stingle nodded, "That is, the Star of Bethlehem is the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. The two planets became very close in 2 BC and looked like a A bright beacon.”

"In other words, June 17th?" Lin An raised his eyebrows.

"It will take about three more nights." Sting Le grinned, showing his white teeth, "June 20 is the day we take action."

After going around in a big circle to find out the date, Lin An frowned and said, "What does this have to do with 'Comes'?"

"On June 20 this year, the Star of Bethlehem will appear again. Venus and Jupiter are conjunct and appear in the sky together, shining with blue-white light in the low sky. This is also the legacy left by the pre-civilization 'Mu' and is filled with distant stars. "

Lin An's pupils suddenly narrowed. Before, he was thinking about how to "charge" the things found in the ruins 12,000 years ago.

It turns out to be a meeting of celestial bodies...

No wonder the Duke always chooses certain periods to split Anhuis' spirit. It turns out that these days are the times when "Star of Bethlehem"-like phenomena appear in the universe and the products of Agonia technology are most efficient!

But what is the principle?

Suddenly, Lin An remembered the nursery rhymes narrated by Mezzo.

A spaceship arrived from Andromeda. Nuwa and Pangu helped modern humans. In the end, they reached an agreement with the aliens and abandoned the spacecraft at the edge of the planet's orbit, becoming the moon...

Could it be that the conjunction of stars has opened up some kind of cosmic chakra, so that Titan resonates with the distant Andromeda—the star system that is said to be where the Mu continent people migrated?

Similar to "Cormus" radiation, this will also cause changes in Titan's energy matrix?

The more Lin An knew, the more Lin An felt that this world hid too many secrets.

In the face of the truth about the planet, personal grudges seem extremely insignificant.

"Before that..." Sting Le spoke slowly, interrupting Lin An's thoughts, "I can't reveal more for the time being. I don't want to be a Riddler, and I don't know their plans."

"Mr. Stingler Nach, what do you suggest me do now?" Lin An's tone softened.

No matter how unhappy this person was before for lying about his false name, as Stinger said, they are comrades standing on the same front.

"Mr. Lin asked me to adapt according to the size of the tribe you established in the rainforest. Now..."

Stingle looked around. The streets and alleys of Kinshasa were still dilapidated and dirty. Under the reconstruction of World Tree, they had already become somewhat prosperous. They were covered with scaffolding, cement barrels and large trucks.

"You have captured the Bantu capital."

"Oh, I'm really bored." Lin An said nonchalantly, "I like quick decisions."

"Then I have nothing to do. Mr. Lin originally asked me to assist you in conquering the Bantu Kingdom." Sting Le spread his hands, "I will stay by your side until I receive new instructions. If there is anything I can do , please do as you please.”

Lin An rolled his eyes: "Actually, maybe there is something I need your help with..."

Sting Le was stunned. He didn't expect that the polite words he had learned from the Dragon Kingdom would not work in front of real Dragon Kingdom people.

"But before that, let's get to know each other more deeply." Lin An stood up, "Unless you are willing to tell me your mysterious prototype."

Although the two are considered allies, most source-level mystics are unwilling to let the other party know too much information about themselves.

"I can give you a hint, this thing has something to do with me."

Stinger took out a plastic mask and put it on his face.

The mask's skin was green and white, like cold metal, with a single horn on its head, and its two eyes without eyes were bright yellow, faintly glowing.

Numerous prototypes of masked gods were passed through his mind, but the system still did not pop up the data. Lin An said hesitantly: "Are you wearing the mask of Karn, the Mantis God, the creator god of the Bushmen?"

"No, it's Ultraman Ace."

Sting Le took off his mask, his expression half-smiling.

"I picked it up at the corner store to enhance the relationship between us. I heard from Mr. Lin that you liked watching Ultraman and Digimon when you were a child."

Lin An's forehead veins popped out.

Damn it, this guy deliberately misled me with a pirated plastic case with poor workmanship!

What Comrade Xiaole!

He is obviously Brother Lezi!

Wait, misleading...

Stingler Nach is not a "prophet" - what is even more frightening is that he may be a "lord of dreams" who has the power of a prophet like Rocky.

In any case, it's best to find some fun for Brother Lezi as soon as possible and not let him wander around.

"It's time to leave." Lin An said expressionlessly, "I still have a lot of things to do. You should check in with [Leo] first. She will introduce you to the usage process of the World Tree system."

Sting Le put away his chopsticks and said with a smile: "I listen to you, Mr. Xiaolin." (End of Chapter)
