You call this the mastermind?

There was nothing unusual in the tower, but a group of crows gathered in the city hall, so dense that Melen was startled when he broke in.

He dealt with a single crow very quickly, but if a group of extremely fast little creatures charged at him, he would need to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

Fortunately, he found that this group of birds had no intelligence at all and had an extremely strong desire for meat.

So he used the corpse of the first crow to gradually lure and differentiate, which made the number of crows decrease rapidly and eventually be completely eliminated.

Under a pile of bird feathers, he finally saw a sarcophagus that was previously blocked by the crows and stored in the center of the city hall.

The sarcophagus was gray and old, and the surface looked quite rough, with unpolished edges and protrusions on it.

After pushing it open, a white jade skeleton holding a sword in both hands came into view.

The skeleton wore a golden crown on its head and a gold pendant on its chest. It was placed on the hands in front of it, and also wore several beautiful rings with pure gold appearance.

At first glance, it looks like a nouveau riche.

However, after taking a closer look at the delicate bones in some parts of the skeleton, Melen discovered that this person might be a woman.

"In a small town, a queen is placed in a very simple sarcophagus?"

The current situation is like this, which seems very strange.

However, considering that this town is his "original birthplace", it is understandable that there are special things.

However, no matter how you think about it, it seems to have nothing to do with the mother mentioned by the Holy Spirit.

Holding the cold and hard edge of the sarcophagus, he carefully observed the delicate white jade skeleton.

Melen then tried to take off its jewelry and crown, but found that these things broke at the touch, turned into a mist and dissipated, without even falling dust.

"It's really strange..."

Gently touching the chest and ribs of the skeleton, which were as pure and clear as jade, it felt quite warm and smooth, which made him squint.

The abnormality of the hand feeling is nothing, but what surprised Melen is that with this action, he actually felt that the skeleton in the sarcophagus seemed to be shy...

This feeling made no sense, because no matter how you look at it, it is a dead thing.

However, Melen did not believe that this was his illusion.

After several attempts, he gradually determined that the skeleton was "alive".

Or in other words, it was in a half-dead state.

"It can't be said that it is the mother of the Holy Spirit."

Although this is the purpose of entering this world, Melen doesn't think he will find the target so easily.

And although this skeleton looks very strange, judging from some details in the sarcophagus, it has nothing to do with heaven.

Of course, whether it is or not, it cannot be seen from the appearance.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he did not find a way to communicate with the skeleton, and did not find any special clues.

So Melen's attention shifted to other things around him.

In the city hall, besides the sarcophagus, there are several desks. Except for being quite dirty with bird droppings and feathers, they look quite intact.

Pulling out the drawer of the desk, some documents inside cheered up Melen.

He took them out and looked at them carefully, and was even more shocked.

These documents themselves are nothing, just plans and drawings related to urban construction.

However, the time marked on them made him think more.

October 4th - November 7th, 1927 in the new calendar.

The documents are not single, and the time on them fluctuates, but this format corresponds to reality!

Melen remembered very clearly that the day he enrolled in Fort Saint Grant was August 1864 in the new calendar!

"Is this the future?"    He couldn't help but have this thought.

Before he entered this place through spiritualism, Melen just suspected that he had entered another world, or simply a special small plane.

But this time unit...

There are no more clues for the time being, and Melen can't be sure of the exact situation.

After looking through the documents, apart from the time, the only thing he got was the name of the town - Vernal Town.

After remembering this unfamiliar name, Mellen went back and forth upstairs and downstairs of the city hall, as well as inside and outside other surrounding buildings.

The result was that apart from making him understand the town better, there was no other gain that could prove more.

So he prepared to leave and go to the reality to check whether this place really existed.

But before leaving, Mellen had an idea and returned to the sarcophagus and said to the white jade skeleton inside: "I'm going back first, I'll see you next time."

As the voice fell, a feeling of reluctance and sadness emerged faintly from the skeleton, which made him even more surprised.

But this did not affect his decision.

After gently patting the skull's forehead, Mellen's mind moved, and the surrounding world suddenly fell into darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the laboratory of "Base No. 3".

"Vernal Town."

Transformed into Egg Wilson, this name flashed through his mind, and the "database" of Fort Saint Grant began to search on its own.

In a few breaths, Melen learned the relevant information from the school library.

[Vernal Town: In the Black Reef Islands area in the southeast corner of the Southern California Colony, a coastal territory was occupied by the Imperial Baron Ryan Vernal in 1850. Due to its convenient geographical location, it is often used by nearby pirates as a supply station and a place to sell stolen goods. ]

In addition to this line of information, there are also a few relatively simple sketches.

After a careful comparison, Melen was able to confirm that the general outline of this place was indeed similar to his memory!

"It can't really be the future."

He was a little confused.

Time travel sounds very grand, but it is not only very easy to enter that world, but the way is also so...

"Maybe it's a parallel world?"

He thought "second choice", but there was always a sense of uneasiness.

If it is a parallel world, it's okay. If it is a future world, then this future is not after the end of the world?

Except for the flock of birds, he didn't see any other life in that town!

This means that the disaster of the black sun was not stopped, and the plans of Holy Spirit Christine and others all failed...

"I need to find a way to get more clues."

Melen made up his mind.

The first thing to be determined is whether that place is a parallel world or a future world.

The second thing to be determined is whether other places besides the town are the same as the town.

After confirming these two aspects, he can make an accurate judgment, otherwise it is just a blind guess.

This requires personal exploration.

However, there is another faster way at the moment, which is to completely awaken the white jade skull in the sarcophagus and then ask it.

Thinking of this, Melen raised his foot and prepared to find the lady and the Holy Spirit.

But as his mind turned, he rushed in another direction.
